LONDON, SATURDAY APRIL #>• IN the House of Lords many petitions Were presented, some for a revision of the Corn Laws, when the Earl of Liverpool, in reply to inquiries from Lord Lauder- dale, said the Government had intention to bring forward any proposition on the I subject this Session but his Lordship thought that next Session it might be sa- tisfactoi-ily broogtit before the Parliament. The subject was also agitated in the Com. fnons, and at considerable length, many petitions having been presented. Mr. James on a petition from Carlisle present- ed by Sir P. Musgrave spoke of the n'eces- sity of the revision of these laws. He added that there ought to be some protecting duties, as it would be impossible for the English farmer, so long as he had taxes and the Clergy to pay, to compete with the foreign grower of corn; and that the he should propose a duty of 15s. when "heat was from 55s. to 70s. per quarter lOse when it was 70s. to 80s. the quarter and open ports when it was above 80s.— He added that his farms were let at "Corn Rents.— Mr. T. Wilson afterwards pre- sented the London Petition, with about 5.000 signatures. Mr. Gooch (the Chair- man of the last Agricultural Committee-) condemned the agitation of this question. There was no stir about it, he said, till Mr. W. Whitmore had given notice that he should submit a motion on the subject. The people were contented and happy; trade flourished, and all paid cheerfully; and the working classes of London oc- cupied their Sunday and Monday in par- tlculai in stuffing themselves with roast beef and porter." As to the London Petition, it was all humbug." Then why agitate the question now ? He asked Mr. Huskisson whether he intended to bring forward any motion on the subject this Session, to which Mr. II. replied in the negative. Mr. Iluskisson added, that he had already Somntiyuffitirr- on his hauds and that there was so much business be- fore the House thisSession, th;«t he could not undertake to bring forward any pro- {wsrtiofl. Early in the next Session, how- ever, he shoulddeein it his duty to require the House generally to take into considera- tion the whole question connected with the Corn Laws, with the view to the adop- tion of some fixed principle. He further remarked, that, in the course of a few days he should, nevertheless, have to submit some propositions to the House regarding f the vast quantity of corn now under lock and key in this country, and which had been so for several years he thought it might be released under regulations ad- Vantageous to the country. A lon £ conversation arose, in the course of which Mr. W. Whitmore said he should perse- vere in his motion which stands forThurs- day next. Mr. Curwen declared that he should support the motion, and Sir T. Lethbridge repeated that he only wanted d open ports and fixed import (or protect- ing) duties." Exchanges still continue falling, and as they fall, so will gold be exported. This shows that the balance of trade is turning found against England. This is nottohe wondered at, for the balance of trade has been, according to the Parliamentary Re- turns, too much of late years in favour of England to last. Should this state of things continue oui gold coin will inevitably fiy away from us, in which case Mr. Peel would be obligedt-o repeal his Bill and (then instead of sovBfe^gtiB being the circu- lating medium, wemost again have recourse | te one and two pound iiotes. Well, there w«Mild be nothing detrimental in this. We got on well enough before with one and two pound notes, and why should we not again ? If Mr, Peel should repeal his Bill we would recommend an issue, of thirty shilling notes, in addition to those of one land two pounds. They would be conve- nient on the score of change; for, after gold disappears, silver would be next ex- ported. The great objection to the notes a less value than five pounds, is the "increased temptation to forgery, and the consequent imprisonments, prosecutions, and .punishments. If it were not for the latter consequences, the absence of gold would >aot be felt. Indeed, a paper me- dium is more convenient for the purposes of trade, especially as a remittance from one part of the country to another. The tpresent state of the Exchanges may be pro- bably one reason why our own and fo- reign Stocks are so flat iu the market. It would be curious if, in proportion to the fali of the Exchanges and the rise in Co- lonial produce and home manufactures, our own funds and foreign funds, as well as Seh* me Shares, should tumble, and yet tllis looks probable enough.

PETITION FROM THE DEAN AND…
PETITION FROM THE DEAN AND CHAP- TER OF ST. GEORGE, WINDSOR. We have great gratification in presenting our readers with the following noble and constitu- tional speech of the Duke of York we are per- suaded it will prove satisfactory to every well wisher of our glorious constitution in Church and State. f.. His Royal Highness the Duke of VORifv.—I hold in my hand a petition from the Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St. George, Windsor, praying that no further concessions may be made to the Roman Catholics. I am sure that any representation from so learned and respect- able a body will be received with the attention which it deserves, and, therefore, I should not have troubled your Lordships with any observa- tions in support of it, if I did not feel that this was an occasion on which any man may well be permitted to address your Lordships. I do this more readily on the present occasion, because feeling that I am not in the habit of taking part in your discussions, I will not interrupt the pro- gress of the debate on the Bill to which the peti. tioners refer, if it should come into this House. It is now twenty-five years since this measure was first brought) into discussion. I cannot forget with what events that discussion was at that time connected. It was connected with the most seri- ous illness of the now no more it was cnnnec.tpd also with the temporary removal of one of the ablest, wisest, and honestest, Minister that this country ever had. From that time, when I gave my first vote on this Question, to the present, I have never seen any reason to regret or to change the line which I then took. I have every year seen more reason to be satisfied with my decision. When the question comes regularly before your Lordships, it will be discussed much more fully and ably than I can do it. But there are two or three subjects on which I am anxious to touch one is, that you place the Church of England in a situation in which no other Church in the world is placed: the Roman Catholic wjll not allow the Church of England, or Parliament, to interfere with his Church, and yet he requires you to allow him to interfere with your Church, and to legislate for it. There is another sub- ject still more delicate, on which I cannot, however, help saying a few words. I speak (I beg to be understood) only as an individual; I desire not to be understood as speaking for any body else but consider, my Lords, the situation in which vou place the Sovereign. By the Co- ronation Oath, the Sovereign is bound to main- tain the Church establishment in her doctrine, dis- cipline, and rights inviolate. An Act of Parlia- ment may release future Sovereigns, and other men, from this oath, or from any other oaths to be taken; but can it release an individual who has already taken it? I speak, I repeat it again, as an individual but I entreat the House to con- sider the situation in which the Sovereign is thus placed. I feel very strongly on this whole sub- ject; I cannot forget the deep interest which was taken upon it by one now no more. I cannot here help adverting to the distressing situation in which my Royal Father was placed by the repeated en- deavours which were exerted to establish these claims, notwithstanding the obligations which his Coronation Oath imposed on him and I cannot help thinking, that to this was owing the many years' illness which he suffered, (Here his Royal Highness was compelled to pause.) I beg yosn Lordships to understand that I aU1 not speakin: for others, but for myself. I have been brought up from my early years in these principles at", from tire time when 1 began to reason for inysell i have entertained them from conviction aix ill every situation in which I may be placed, am determined, to whatever censure or oblOtF: I may be exposed by making this declaration, < persevere in my opposition to these claims, S< help me God V His Royal Highness then laid upon the tab- the petition of the Dean and Chapter of 111, Chapel of St. George, Windsor, praying that HB further concessions might be granted to the Ilu, man Catholics; In the Hoilse of Lords on .Monday night—- The Earl of Lauderdale asked the Earl of Liverpool, whether the Government was prepan"; to acquiesce in a change of the Corit Laws iu tiii course of present Session. The Earl of Liverpool replied in a speech of some length, in which he pointed out the proper distinction betweecn the trade in corn and all other trades, showing that, in the first, no inflexible rule could ever be fixed, not only because of its connexion with man's life, but also on account of the fluctuation in the supply, while in the latter the market might safely be left to its own regu- lation. In conclusion he stated that the Govern- ment would not acquiesce in any change durill,, the present session; but that it was proposed to engage with the subject early in the next. The Marquis of Lausdown declaring himself favourable to a fixed duty. The subject was dropped here. The Bishop of Chester presented a petition from Chester against submission to the demand of the Roman Catholics and explained that there were bat twenty-five persons in that city who lia,t refused to affix their names to it. Many other petitions from various places and to the same, effect were presented. In the House of Commons — After sortie miscellaneous business had boon disposed of, Mr. T, Wilson presented a petition from 5,0<ii) merchants and traders in London for a revision of the Corn Laws, with a N iev to render them more reasonable and efficient, without impairing their protective fo/ce. Mr. Huskisson explained that Ministers would not bring forward any measure upon the subject of the corn laws during the present year but that he would propose the admission, into the market. of the banded corn now in this country.

In the House of Lords Tuesday night the Corn Laws were again the subject of conversation. The only new light in which the matter was placed related to its effect upon the Exchanges. The Earl of Lauderdale intimated an opinioll, that the effect of an absolute freedom of trade in corn, would be to turn the Exchanges so decidedly against this country, as to render impossible a perseverance in a metallic currency. The Earl of Liverpool admitted that tlie, late unfavourable state of the Exchanges might be ascribed to speculations upon the Continent, in contemplation of a modification of the Cora Laws. A great number of petitions against submitting to the demands of the Roman Catholics were pre- sented. In the house of Commons, after a great quantity of miscellaneous business had been disposed of. Mr. Littleton moved the second reading of the bill for raising to ten pounds the qualification for the Elective franchise in Ireland. A very long debate followed, in the course of which the motion was opposed by Messrs. Leslie Foster, Brougham, Bankes, Peel, Goulburn, C, Hutchinson, Denman, and Lauibtoii, and support- ed by Messrs. Plunkett, Brownlow, V. Fitz- gerald, and R. Martin, by Lord Milton and Sir it. Parnell. J. Newport and F. Burdett. On a division the motion for the second reading was carried by a majority of 334 to 185. The most remarkable incidents of the debate were an allusion made by Mr. Brougham in very strong- language to the speech of the Duke of York on Monday night; and the schism between Messrs. Lambton and Denman and Sir Francis Burdett.

FEMALE INTREPIDITY.—On Saturday last, A servant girl belonging to Mrs. Norris, Beaufort buildings, Bath, observed a man going out at the door of her mistress's house, as she was nrenm- ing'to wash the passage. It instantly occurred to her that he was a thief, and iu a moment she missed an umbrella that was in the passage a few minutes before. She pursued the man, overtook him, and seized him by the collar, when he struck her a most dreadful blow over the temple, which knocked her agaillst a wall and stunned her the umbrella at the same moment fell from under his coat. A cry of "stop tilief" was gven-fil-I was again pursued by a man and boy, and ovei taken on the road to Batheaston. The same day he was taken before Charles Phillott and John Maddison, Esqrs., and immediately recognized as an old oflender, almost the last of a very no- torious gang who infested that city and neigh- bourhood for a long while. The girl gave her evidence against him in a very becoming manner and he was committed for trial. On Wedesday he was tried at the County Sessions, aud sen- tenced to seven years'transportation.
