CORN LAWS.
In the House of Commons on the 2Sth of
March, Mr.. CurNven, in presenting petition from
the merchants and dealers in corn in the City of
London, said he concurred in the prayer of the
petitioners, for revision of the corn laws, and for
protecting duty of from SOS. to Cos. per quarter.
They also prayed that duty on foreign grain
might be imposed 10 the extent of 20s. on wheat
los. on barley, and IS. on oats, but they wished
the corn bonded, to be admitted into the corn
market duty free Mr. Ellice opposed the petition
and Mr.. Huskisson deprecated any discussion
the presentation OF petition: he was however glad
| that Mr.. Curwen, who in 1921, staunch adj
vocate for monopoly, had so far relaxed in his OPT
MON. Mr. II. Wilson said the extensive system of
commercial policy recently developed by ministers,
would be incomplete without revision of the
corn laws. In answer to question MIR. Huskis-
son said, the Hon. member (hlr Whe'more) in
the motion of which he had given notice the
subject of the laws, had entirely exercised his
own discretion. The petition was finally ordered
TO lie on the table On the day, Mr. Hus-
kisson gave notice that their meeting he
should move for adjournment of the House to
the l4ih of April.
On this subject we have seen letter from ghhi-
ly respectable mercantile house in Liverpool, dated
the Both, which gives opinion that the Corn
Laws will be changed the present session of Parli
ament. The writer adds that the sentiments of Mr.
Curwen were probably those OF many of the landed
interest. MIR. Whitmores motion for the alteration
of the laws fixed for the 10Th of April.
Mr.. Huskisson had given notice that he should
move Monday the 4th, for adjournment to
the 18th of April.

The ship Milton, Capt. Webb, arrived vesfer-
day morning from Liverpool. We have been ia
voured with London dates to the 29th and Liver
pool to 3Ist of March inclusive. The only intel
gence of any moment is the accounts of the Cot
ton market, which continued to improve. Owing
TO the prevalence Of easterly winds, there had not
been any arrivals at Liverpool for several days
Many vessels were, however, due, and the opin-
IONS OF letter writers as to the effect they woulp
have on the market when they did arrive, were va
rious We have been favored by a CONNER cial
friend with the following extract Of letter, dated
the evening ofthe 30th ofMarch Gazette.
" Since mine by the Balgna, we have had no ar
rivals. The demand for Cotton is most animated
The total sales of the three first days OF the week
were 29,50o bags. This day about 1000 bags
more were sold, and prices are fully IL higher
than last weekl6 "a have been paid for Bow eds.
and for lot of old, Of as good quality as have
ever seen, I'D have been refused. Upon change
OF wind we must have large arrivals, but do not
think they will effect prices materially, if at all -
In addition to the above, Cores Advertiser Of
the 3lsi says, The Cotton Market has been ex-
tremely animated. The week ending Tuesday last
prices generally advanced, leaving of about I'd
