To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Gentlemen, Clergy, Free holders, and Inhabitants of the County of Glamorgan" Sheireth, That notwithstanding the many, suggestions, both of re- gulation and economy, resulting the labour and re- search of various Committees of your Honourable House, and the sentiments expressed from the Throne at the opening of the present Session of Parliament, no symptom whatever of a voluntary nature has been sliewn- by his Majesty's Ministers of any serious retrenchment in the present expenditure of the public money. That the keeping up and maintaining the present enor- mous Military Force in a time, of profound peace, when we are in ftiliancewitli the principal States of Europe, and on terms of friendship with all the world, is pregnant with danger ro the liberties of the country, and with ruin to its Jinances. That ysur Petitioners having submitted, with fortitude, during twenty-three years of war,, to an amount of taxation almost insupportable, have, in their present exhausted state, good reason to expect, and elaim,a more than ordinary measure of economy in the administration of the public expenditure, Your Petitioners, therefore, implore your Honourable House to make a serious reduction jn the amount of the present Military Force, abolishing all useless establish- ments, sinecure places, and excessive salaries in every de- partment ot Government, the largest which are often bestowed upon those who do the least to deserve them; and that you will relieve the eoun'vy from the excess con- stantly recurring in the Civil List Establishment, by refus- ing any Jongerto provide tor its liquidation. Your Petitioners farther implore your Honourable House to discontinue all Taxes imposed and granted for the express purpose of carrying on the war; that you will borrow on loan or from some other source, such as the sinking fund or unclaimed dividends, the sums necessary for .th. extraordinary embarrassments of the enstung year, and that afterwards, by a vigorous application offconony to our expenditure, you will bring it within the bounds of Mur income, without future loans, or again recurring to that degrading and oppressive tax which jus Majesty's Ministers iave been reluctantly forced to abandon, and by which. even if continued, from the exhaustion Wenotf experience, and from the immense scale of our proposed establishment, to mate our revenue equal to our expenditure would hive been a vain attempt. Your Petitioners further rely, that they shall not he deemed impertinent in praying for the re-establishment of c the ancient standard of the currency of this realm, through the medium of gold and silver, to the end that contracts be- tween man and man may no further vary than from circum- stances Uncontroulable by human foresight, and common totheworid at large, and not according to the variable Opinions of any set of men (however,respectable) ?.s to the expediency of a larger or smaller issue of paper now re- gulating the value as well as the amount of currency. And your Petitioners will ever pray,&c. &c. (Signed) RICHARD JOHN HILL, Sheriff, On behalf of the Gentlemen, Clergy, Freeholders, afid Inhabitants of the County of Glamorgan, in County Meeting Assembled.

PBrrftow.- To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great. Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Owners and Occupiers of Landi in the County of Glamorgan, Skewetk, That your Petitioners are nOW overwhelmed by a suc- cession of most heavy losses, and have suffered a diminu- tion of their capita) to an extent most ruinous to themselves and the public, involving in their distresses the interests of all classes of this realm. That they have endeavoured to contend, with firmness and patience, against such difficulties as have been imposed 'Upon them in common with the rest of their fellow-subjects; kilt that they cannot but attribute a very large portion of their losses to the grievance they labour under, in parti- cular in being exposed to the injurious competition of foreign produce in their own markets, when not called for by any deficiency of home supply. They submit that by the policy/adopted in this realm, however wisely for a long series of years, all the industrious classes of the community have been uniformly protected against foreign competition until by a fatal. alteration of the Corn Laws in the fatter part of the last century, pro- tection was withdrawn from that class alone to which your Petitioners belong, nor-has it since been effectually re. stored. That the enactments on Wool are regulated on principles most unequitable to your Petitioners. That the various other products of our soil are alike exposed to injurious uud unequal competition. That a direct Tax on the very Implements of Cultivation, those of expellsivc Implements, the Horses of the Farmer, is a measure as impolitic in principle as it is oppressive in Hs operation. That the Taxes Oil Leather and Salt press with severity on yotir Petitioners.—That your Petitioners, at the same time that they contribute to all other general taxation sustain nearly the whole oilhe enormous burden imposed by the Ponr. Laws, not only maintaining the de- j cayed or indigent labourer, in whose industry they have a direct interest, but the numerous bodies frequently-thrown on them by those Classes of Manufacturers who yet possess against them the advantages of a strict monopoly. The class to which your Petitioners belong cannot yield, in numerical proportion, in industry, in economical exer- tions, in amount of capital, or in the intimate union of their interests with the public welfare, to any portion of the community of this realm. They must ever rejoice in. and are justly conscious of, the benefits they have derived from the prosperity of their commercial brethren but they must claim ample allow- ance for the preponderating share which the consumption of your Petitioners in the home market must have contri- buted towards its growth, and cannot but mark the effects of their present depressed circumstances on its stability. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray more imme- diately for the Amendment of the Cern Law of the last Session, so far as respects the bonding of Foreign Corn before the average price at home permits the sale of it. They pray for permission to export Wool freely, or for a compensating duty on its importation. They pray for protecting regulations in respèct. to the trade in aH other articles of home production. They pray for the total repeal of the Tax on Horses em- ployed in Agriculture. They pray for the dimunitiwn of the Taxes on Leather and Salt. They pray for a Revision of the genera! policy and en- actments of the Poor Laws, and for relief from their most u' unequal pressure.. And your Petitioners, humbly trwrtj that so long as it shall be deemed advisable to continue to regulate the Trade at large of the United Kingdoms by the principle of restric- tive policy hitherto adopted, your Honourable-House will consent effectually to secure to them the benefit of that principle in asarnple a manner as they have heretofore partaken of it, and as it is HOW enjoyed by any other class of the subjects of this realm. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &C.&C; Signed, RICHARD JOHN HILL. Sheriff, On behalf of the Owners and Occupiers of Land, in County Meeting assembled.
