should tomorrow (this doy) inquire what was
the quantity ordered.
The IariG-Mr. Pattison inquired how soon
the new duties would come into operation
Sir r. Peel answered, that so soon as the
house should have affirmed any resolution il
might be pleased to come to, and allowed that
resolution TO be reported, the Government
would propose, in conformity with the gener-
al usage, Immediately to permit the reduction
of duties, taking the usual guarantee that in
the event Of the resolution not receiving the
final sanction of Parliament the old duties
should be paid. Generally speaking, there
fore, the reduction would take effect from the
day on which The resolution was agreed to
but perhaps there would be an exception made
in the case of seeds, on which the reduction
might not take effect until June.
Mr. Pattison considered the answer given
by the Right Hon. gentleman to be highly sat
isfactoy.
Corn La,cs.--Mr. p Miles gave notice that
on the motion that the Speaker leave the chair
10 20 into committee on the government mea-
sure with respect TO corn he would move, as
an amendment, that the House SO into COM

Effect of Sir Robert PeerS Speech on The Corn
.uarkets-It is well deserving Of notice that
the announcement Of Sir Robert Peel's in
tended change in the corn laws has produced
scarcely any effect on the corn market. The
price OF wheat, instead of going down with
run, as it ought to have done, according to the
confident assertions Of monopolst writers and
speakers has slightly risen in several markets
and remained stationary in most, and has not
any where sunk TO a serious extent. As the
corn dealers are at once 4 shtewd and sen
slive race, we may take it for granted that
they DO not expect any fall from present prl
ces to follow the introduction of the new sys-
tenn; If they did, their fears would have been
shown by rapid decline in all the principal
markets in the kingdom. The fact Is they
know what is the real extent Of the suppy
both of Bri ish and foreign Grain too well to
entertain any such fears liverpool TiaeS.
