| The House of Lords have decided according Il
our worst apprehensions! A majority Of AZ, in
a house Of S75 peers, have passed the secone
reading OF the corn law repeal bill. II is true
that OF the lords present, viz, 264, a majority o.
II only voted for the bill, leaving a chance OF the
measure being defeated in detail while in com
nittee still we have abundant and painful evi
sepce that the noblest assembly in the world have
signed and sealed their own doom. They have
proved that considerable number of their lord
ships are the mere creatures, or rather the ma
chimes of the minister of the day; not only
the lords in waiting upon Sir Robert Peel, bu
liveried serving men, who stand behind the backs
aud obey the orders OF the gentlemen OF the
House OF Commons.

visions into the ports of London and Liverpool,
from the principal shipping ports OF the United

packages containing -four, hams, beef, pork, lard,
in addition, large quantities Of wheat and Indian
corn, meal, oil seed-cake, Tor feeding cattle /;
slaves, for making casks and for cooperage pur-
poses generally, and other articles usually known
as being produced in and imported from the UNI

on board have comprised an important port on,
and in some nearly the whole Of their entire car
goes.
