There were two extra charges, not likely to recur,
which would have to be provided for--the payment

FL $50 600, to which the government were pledged;
and another payment of ESQ Oeo t. the East India
Company. But these sums, amounting together to

Chinese government were bound by the treaty. as a
compensation tor the opium and the expenses OF the
war. Looking to the forthcoming year, he estimated

had been received last year at the customs from
the importation OF foreign corn, he thought he

TUESDAY, May 9.-RRPEAL OF THE UNION Lord
JocELYN requested to know from Sir Robert Peel
the Intentions Of the government with respect to the
extensive agitation.
i Sir r. PkEL, in a solemn and emphatic manner.
declared himself authorized by her Majesty to re-
peat the language employed by the crown on this
/ throne during the administration Of Earl Grey, and
which expressed the most resolute determination to
uphold the union. The present government he
said, would exercise for this purpose all the power
/ vested in them under the existing law; and though
not DESTROYS OF dsparaging the constitution by ap-
plying tor new and extraordinary powers until those
of the existing law should be found practically in
sufficient they would net hesitate. should that in
sufhciency become apparent, to appeal to Parlia-
ment for such enactments as would etfectually OBJ
viate the evil for they persuaded that the OBJ
Iect attempted was not merely, as some called it,
the repeal of statute, but The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the empire The application TO Parliament, should
| 1t come TO be necessary, would be made, he was
sure, with the greater success, in consequence of
the forbearance of ministers to make it until the
| necessity should have been manifested by expe-
| rience Of the inadequacy Of the existing law.
The CoRN-LAw DEBATE Mr.. VILLlERs brought
forward his annual motion for the repeal OF the Corn
| laws, when one of the strangest scenes ever wit
| messed In the House OF Commons occurred. After
several members had addressed the house, for and
against the motion, Lord Worsey called for an ex-
| plicit declaration OF government intentions
Sir ROBERT PEEL responded to the call. He avow
ed that he had heard nothing new on the subject,
| and had nothing new to state. He praised the mo-
i for dIrectupsa and fair Ruf tho
principle involved in twas wider than It's terms; it
| was nothing less than the proposition that all pro-
| Immediately abolished. If it received assent, the
whole arrangement of the tariff, excepting duties
| for revenue, must be reversed then the whole
of the Colonial system--all monopoes, all
| preferences of Colonial interests, all sacrifices
in return must be abolished (Nr. ViLLuRRs: Hear

Peel 81 ask the house if it feels that is in accord
ance with the national interests and security by the
vote OF night to adopt principle like this!'' He
added, "lf ! were prepared to agree to such an alb
sract principle as that embodied in the resolution
should shrink from its application" He proceeded
to defend the continuance Of the Corn-law, mainly
on the score of peculiar burdens land; and the
late change, as having reduced prices To Lord
| Worsley' demand he answered, that when Govern
ment last year proposed their Corn law, they meant
| il to be satisfactory adjustment; he did not say
final and unaIterable, for he would never say that
as to any such matter; but the Government had had
no reservation or secret intention then of any fur
Their change nor any such intention entertained
by them now. He denied his belief that the de-
preston of manufactures owing to the Corn
laws, the depression OF agriculture to the recent
change. And the proposed Canada bill, he said was
nothing new, but part Of the measure OF last
| sion-t had been so announced, and Government
had given an engage msnt to the people Of Canada
which II was their duty to fulfil.

the debate; it being more than half past twelve

test of some hours Sir Robert Peel resisted the
