BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT.
BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT. THE House of Commons was occupied during nearly the whole of its sitting' on Monday with a complaint, made by Air. Abercromby, against the Lord Chancellor for having in certain observations made by him in the Court of Chancery, charged I the lion. Member, by unequivocal description, with having stated ari utter falsehood" in the debate on Wednesday last. Air. Abercromby explained that he had never made the statements imputed to him by one Jour- nal, and one Journal only, which appeared to have furnished the grounds for this coarse attack. He concluded by a motion to call Mi". Farquhar- son, a short-hand writer, to the bar, to prove the use of the offensive words by the Lord Chan- cellor. Mr. Brougham, Mr. Scarlett, Mr. J. Williams, ,yi Mr. Tieniey, Sir J. Mackintosh, &c. &c. support- ed the motion, which was opposed (chiefiyon the plea that consideration was due to the excited feelings of Lord Eldon) by Messrs. Canning,Peel, Wynn, and the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, and ultimately rejected by a majority of 151 to 102.. Tuesday night in the House of Lords some con- 0 versation took place between Lords King, Dam- Icy and Liverpool, respecting-the forrnoLhearing appeals, and the state of Ireland, but without leading to any specific result upon either subject. In the House of Commons on Tuesday night, JIt-. ffirme moved for a return of the committals, by Magistrates, to the various prisons of London, Middlesex, and Surrey, for the last three years, distinguishing the names of the Magistrates by whom tfiey were made. Mr. II. Sumner objected to the invidious expo- sure of the names of the county Magistrates, which this motion, if granted i must occasion.— He saw, however, no objection to the motion as it affected the stipendiary Magistrates of the metropolis. Mr. Alaberly, Mr. Demncm, Sir R. Heron, and some other members supported the motion. The Attorney General suggested, that in the first -instance, the County Magistrate might be omitted, to be forthcoming', however, should the House think it necessary upon a view of the re- turns, to proceed further in the matter. Mr. Peel concurred in the prudence of this ar- rangement, which he had, ne said, before pro- posed to Mr. Hume. The returns were at length ordered, modified according to the Attorney General's suggestion. Mr. Hobhouse then brought forward his motion "lit for a repeal of the Window Tax. After replying at considerable length, to most of the general to- pics of the Chancellor of the. Exchequer, he pro- ceeded to detail the multiplied oppressions and evils of the Assessed Taxes generally, and espe- cially of that tax, the repeal of which was the particular object of his motion. These oppres- sions and evils he described with great truth and effect. He spoke with some disrespect of the Sinking Fund, but explained, that without in- fringing upon it, the Window Tax might be re- pealed by continuing the Silk and Wool duties, and some other of those which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to repeal. He bore testimony, however, to the general soundness of the Right lion. Gentleman's views. Mr. Maberly supported the motion. He de- precated the preservation of a Sinking- PaM, at an annual expence of five millions and argued that public credit would be better sustained by the sale of the Land Tax, according, .to the de- tailed plan which he liad glyen last year. By adopting this measure the' Sinking (fund might,, lie said, be relinquished, and the whole body of assessed taxes swept away; he objected to the continuance of both, a Malt and a Beer duty, if the latter were given up, and a proportionate in- crease made upon the former; the expence of col- lecting the repealed branch < £ 20,900 per annum, would be saved. The Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the selection he had made of Taxes to be reduced.- He denied that Air. Maberly's proposition, for a scale of the Land Tax, promised so certain and favourable a result as to authorise him to reduce the Assessed Taxes in contemplation of its suc- cess. He maintained the utility of a Sinking- Fund, which, though it might be dispensed with by a people assured of everlasting peace, was absolutely necessary to a nation subject to the calamity of war. He professed great pleasure in stating, that in addition to the Taxes which, on a former evening he had proposed to give up, he was now able to offer a surrender of all the Taxes upon law proceedings. Mr. J. Smith expressed flrrtft-h gratification at the last communication, but objected to the grant of,-tSO,(K)O for building Churches andrepaning Windsor Castle. Lord Althorp ridiculed the Sinking Fund; and Air. Baring defended it at some length. lHr. W. Smith, and Lord Alilton spoke in favour of the motion, as did Mr. Hume, who proposed a reduction of the military establishment to meet the necessary reduction of taxation. On a division the nuihbers were—For the mo- tion SI, against it 1,5,5. The proceedings in Parliament on Thursday night were miscellaneous and brief; but some of the short discussions were highly Interesting. In the House of Lords the Earl of Liverpool in reply to an observation by the Marquis of Lansdowne, acknowledged that he had been in er- ror in denying that considerable qualifies of coarse linen were exported, from the South of Ireland. In consequence af discovering this er- ror, lie said, it had been determined by Ministers to proceed as slowly in taking the bounty from coarse linens as from line. The most interesting subject which came under discussion inlhe House of'Coinmons was, a peti- tion from the silk weavers*: of Covehtf^ plaining that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposition of admitting foench silks was likel v to destroy their trade. The petitioners claimed the protection of the Legislature, on the ground that while the corn laws remained in force and while they had to support so much a greater 0 r weight of taxation than any other European ma- nufacturers, they could not contend upon equal terms with the silk weavers of France. In pre- senting the petition, lUr. Ellice observed as a re- markable coincidence, that while the master ma- nufacturers were preparing it, the working weav- ers were assembling, to strike for higher wages. Robertson defended the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as greatly beneficial to the parties who are how remonstrating against it. Sir Robert Heron then moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the continuance of offices, notwith- standing a demise of the Crown. After the motion had given rise to a lively conversation between Air. Canning, Air. Ilun.c, Mr, Brougham, &c. the Hon. Bart. withdrew it. --0--

LONDON,
LONDON, j¡IO,VDA y, MARCIl S. Notwithstanding the strong and un- qualified opinion of the impossibity. that Spain can recover the South American Colonies, expressed by the French and British Governments-, we have evidence in the last Spanish Papers, that Spain, or rather Ferdm!!P.(J, entertains a very "different view oi the matter. "Time" says the Gazette of Madrid, will show the powers the injury they will do them- selve., if they hinder the King of Spain from being also the King of the Indies." It is quite unnecessary to enquire what any power can lose by the independence of South America or which is the power that "hinders" Ferdinand* from re- ascending his Indian throne ? The pas- sage affords a pn>of of what the Spanish King wishes, and even proposes, and con- Z5 sequently is a proof that his desires and views are not in unfson with the professed, designs of the Government of France.— His Catholic Majesty has also published a proclamation for regulating the Custom- houses and Custom-house duties of Spain and the Incites. Extract cf a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Marseilles, dated Feb .24.— Ilk, You wiH,no doubt, have been apprisd, by more direct opportunities, of the Al- gerines having declared war against Great Britain on Jan. 31, and of his Majesty's Consul and family having consequently left that port, for Malta, on board the JNaiad fiigate. We have this morning C, advices from Malta as late as the 14th inst, by which we learnhat Vice admiral Sir Harry Neale had already sailed from thence for Algiers, taking with him the Naiad, and leaving orders for all other ships of war as they might come in to fol- low him thither "ilhout anchoring. The Consul had embarked with the Admiral, Of the force oi the Algerine squadron now at sea we have no correct accounts, but it is said to consist of two frigates, two corvettes, and several small vessels, and about the 8th inst was cruizing off the coast of Spain, having captured a Spanish fishing vessel near Oinidorini.—— We understand that all the British mer- chant vessels at Gibraltar, bound up the Mediterranean, were waiting there for convoy." SMYRNA, Jan. 30.—There is every reason to expect that the preparations for the campaign will he formidable 80,000 men are said to be destined to act against the More a by land, while the Ottoman fleet and the squadron of the Viceroy of Egypt will co-operate by sea. The I ii surgents in the Morea, however, are in appearance quite easy,and do notmake any further effort* of consequence. The la.,t accounts from Scio indicate that the alarm had subsided which was caused by the reports of a formidable attack meditated by the Greeks to conquer the island. An addition has been made since our last to Mr. Robinson's plans for the pub- lic relief, of which we are glad to speak in terms of unmixed praise. On Monday week, when the Budget was brought for. ward, some Members expressed their grief that no diminution was to be effected in the expense 01 law-proceedings. It 1 was urged that the existing duties operated greatly as a lax upon justice: that they brought a triHing accession of revenue to the Exchequer, while they were produc- tive of incalculable- mischief to the inter- ests of this people. impressed with the truth of ths representation, Mr. Robin- son came down to the House,on Tuesday last, with the following very candid and manly a voA al :-tl I am not insensible to the amount and effect of the duties upon law-proceedings; and I am now so strongly impress-d with a conviction of the infinite evils—tiie word 4 infinite' is not too strong—arising from those duties, that I have endeavoured to devise some measure by "vhicfythey may be reduced; and it is with the greatest possible sa- tisfaction I now state to the llouse, that *hese duties may be repealed, without in the slightest degree infringing on the principles of the. financial calculation which was last week explained. We think that the Chaneellor of the Exche- quer deserves very great credit for the candour with which he has adopted the suggestion of his political opponents, and the mauliness with w hich he acknowledges the previous defect in his own plan As to the tax alluded to, it is one, the re- peal of which is of vital importance to the sacred cause of justice. Hundreds have been ruined in seeking redress for the most outrageous injuries; and thousand-, been compelled, from a dread of the ruin- ous expenses of a law suit; to sit down in shame and despair, under •* j hr? oppre.^sor. wrong, the proud man's contumely. By means of the relief thus promised, and by the additional facilities for an ac- cess to justice, which we anticipate from some measure like LOltD Aj/rnoup's Bill for the more easy recovery of small Debls, the middle aud lower classes of the com- munity may promise themselves a much greater seeuiity aga'nst injustice and op 1 pression, than either their fathers or them- selves have heretofore enjoyed.

BOUNTY COURT^.
BOUNTY COURT^. In the House of CoiuinoiVs, on Thursday, Lord Althorp moved that the County Courts' Bill be read the second time. The Attorney General said he highly approved of the principle of the Bill, but thought, that com. pensation should be allowed to the officers of the Prothonotary, for instance, to indemnify them for the partial loss of fees which this measure will occasion to them. There were patent ofiicc-s ob- tained by the pajment of a large sum of money, and it would be therefore unfair to lessen its emoluments, without some indemnity bemg' granted. Air. Hume expressed a hope that provision would be made to prevent the sale of these of- fices in future. Dt-. Lifshirtgtoit said, it was desirable also that offices which were now unnecessary should be abolished; and that Certain offices which were permitted to be sold, should not be placed in the hands of persons notoriously incapable of filling them. There was, he understood, an office Of some emol ument In the Court of Exchequer filled by a lady of quality.—(A laugh.) Certainly a lady of quality was not very fit for the office of Prothonotary either of the King's Bench or.Com- mon Fleas. The Solicitor-General stated that it was an he- reditary office. Dr. Lushington.—Then it was so much the worse, and the more necessary:, was it that Parlia- ment should interfere, inasmuch as there was a perpetual risk .of the office coming into the hmuK of inadequate persons. The subject was \Jt worthy the attention of the House. The^i-eat accumulation of fees in the Courts of.lglUer and Common Pleas rendered t&YM' Courts so niwch more ^pensive, that' "suitor found it desirable to resort to the Court 9 Bench, and this was the reason -for, die 4i iAr. dened state of the business of that Coutr; •'Tift! great difficulty that presented itself a £ >Jairt^t-any arrangement for the removal of this evil wtalld be the necessity of providing for .existing interests, ,t g for such interests, for instance, as thtvf Of Lord Ellenborough, who was appointed -tiie office he now held bv his father wlien Chief. Justice of tl^e King's Bench. .II After a few words from Mr. Berniil, Lord Al- thorp replied. The Bill was then read a second time, and com- mitted for to-iiiorrow se'nnight., Adjourned. — The Silk Trade was on Friday again under discussion, upon the presentation ora: petition from Taunton by Mr. Baring. The Iloh. Mem- ber, in his introductory speech, took occasion to express an opinion that the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer was pushing too far the abstract princi- ples of political economy. He said; th:tt with- out a repeal of the Corn Laws, an absolute eman- cipation of Foreign Trade would be pSr'ial and unjust, and dangerous to the British hmnufac- ture and explained, that his otfn opinions of free trade went only to the libu-at/tfff'ot iicflnosfcie commerce. —1 Mr. Ellice, Mr. Davenport, Mr. Denman, Mr. T. Wilson, Sir J. Wrotteslev, and Mr. Portman, supported the prayer of the Petition; as did Sir Thomas Lethbridge, who ridiculed the zeal for theorising, manifested by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and observed, that as to the Corn Laws, for himself lie was not hnwilling to see them somewhat relaxed, as he, wished to see corn no higher than atpresent, live and let live" be- ing the maxim of the agricultural intense The proposed regulation of the Silk Duties was, on the other hand, supported by Messrs. Canning, Peel, Huskison, Hume, Haldimand, Maberly, Phillips, J. Smith, W. Smith, and Sir J. Newport. On the motion for the second reading of the Gaol Act Amendment Bill, Mr. Grey' Beimet read a long calculation to show the hardships of the tread-mill, the ordinary diurnal labour df as- cending -which, he said, was. equivalent to 37 nines walking. He explained, however, that he was favourable to the use of the machine under proper regulations. Mr. Peel exposed the fallacy of the exaggei- ated calculation cited and after some unimport- ant conversation, the Bill was read i) second time. The House then went into a CQ.tnnittg^ uoon the Mutiny Bill, when Mr. Hume rep.eatc{(¡¡js schedule of complaints of military flagging, sale and purchasing of coiiimissioiis, &c. &c;and made a display of his characteristic inaccuracy, in the assertion that the pay of soldiers, con- demned to solitary imprisonment, goes into the pockets of the officers who condaum them. He divided the House on a motion to withhold the power of flogging ayes, 24; noei, 53. —h8
CORN TRADE.-
CORN TRADE. As an erroneous idea exists in -he minds of the mass of the people, prejudicial to those concern- ed in the Corn Trade, we think the following well-written paragraph, extracted from Simond's Journal of a Tour through Switzerland, in the yearslS17; ISIS, and ISH), (theJbrmer a year of scarcity, and resembling the present in nmny respects) will clearly show that it. is impossible for any combination to bjBi pro- ductive of any permanent rise m the price of grain :— We found Sens much agitated; the national guard under arms, and a detachment of hussars the coming in. The people, irritated by .the dearness of provisions, and not aware of the good fore- stalling does, are bent on inflicting summary punishment, by plundering the. stores, at least, of some unfortunate speculators, obnoxious for this very unpopular .offence. The National Guard, not being sllfflciently groun,led in the true theory on the subject, and inclined accord- ingly to side with the mob, had made it necessary to call in the Hussars, who, caring little about, any theory, decide the question by force, en at- tendant, that it may be so one day by good sense and reason. Let us suppose one hupdiw thousand quar- ters of wheat to 1),e the quantity requisite for the yearly supply of -any -glyl. country, and the crops to have fallen so far, ff!lj?rt as to yield seventy-five thousand quarters, otily, while a si- milar (Iefi (,-ielley ,tbi,oa(,t pte.f.. i-s oieil,-A assist- ance it is evident that If went qn- as usual in the nine tihont^ jt^u,lftd|atfly; follow- ing the bad crop, a. fumiue would ojj the inevita- ble consequence in the -|hWf«««»f!(B«g,!paoQtbs; and the obvious reine( IY "-ih-lbd't'IY pheck on con- sumption, an endeavour- ot'prAyidte auxiliary means of subsistence, and prn.tworse. The only warning the great bul the people will take is the dearness of food tf there were no speculators (forestalled) farmers would become so themselves, that is, would lay up their pro- duce, and refuse to sell it without an advanced price but not perceiving so soon, or so accurate- I y, the real state of the market, they would make it too high or too low; most probably they would begin too late, and accumulate on the latter part of the year that rise which should have been equally divided on the whole course of it. The people would undergo the same loss of money by the rise of prices, probably a greater one, and would at any rate feel it much more se- verely. because this rise would be accumulated on a few months lifstead of bearing on the whole twelve, and because the rate of wages of labour would have had less time to accommodate itself to this state of things. The warning of distress, coming so late, would be a gratuitous evil in- flicted on the people, whereas speculation makes it useful. Forestallitf^ii;a?i,feliy op^rate^ a fictiti- ous rise, not born out by it deficiency'of crop, and which would hot have taken place otherwise. If it was possible for speculators to understand each other from one end of the county to another, or rather from one of Europe and of the world to another, and to be all partners in the same adven- ture, directed by the same hand, they might create a fictitious rise. but even then they must go the length of destroying a part of the produce for the object of this speculation, as the Dutch "%ere said to burn cinnamon or cloves to prevent any but a certain quantity coining into the market, for sooner or later this surplus would oc- casion a fall of prices, whenever it came into the market. As soon as purchases, made with a view to a rise, begin to operate, proprietors, unconnected with the purchasing speculators, never fail pour- ing in their supplies, and reap the beneift the con- trivers of the rise intended for themselves. Some of the speculators themselves will defeat the scheme of the Others by early sales in short, no speculation, no forestalling can be profitable to the forestaller generally, unless it has a real. d- ficiency of the article for its basis, and then it is Useful to the public likewise, for it saves them from a public dearth, and wards. off absolute famine at less cost of money. [f the speculation be good, it is so for every one those concerned hi it and those who are not; if it be bad it is only for the-speculators, -and nugatory in its results for the public sit large.-1- This view of the subject is not ofl'ered as new, assuredly, but as the prejudices against 'fi)i,e- tailing are f:ir from being dissipated, no oppor- tuniis of setting the matter in its trtie 14 should be neglected.
THE LATE ADMIRAL DE OOVRCY,
THE LATE ADMIRAL DE OOVRCY, ON Monday last the mortal remains of the late lion, Michaei de. Courcy,Admiral of tiie Blue; were Interred in Saint .Andrew's churckin Ply- month. He was the third son of John, &>th Lord King-sale, Karon Courcy and Ring-rove, and Premier Baron of Ireland. Ilaving entered the Navy early in life, he was made a Post-Captain in 1783. At the beginning of the war hr 1793, he commanded the Pearl; in 1795, the Magna- nime frigate, in which he captured the Decade, French frigate, and several privateers. In the action off Ireland, under Sir J. B. Warren, he particularly distinguished himself. In the Canada to which ship he was next appointed, he had an opportunity of displaying the excellence of his professional judgment and noble devotedness to duty and friendship. The Mars, the flag of Rear-Admiral Tliornborough, having been totally dimasted in a severe gale, had drtfted close to the rocks near Ushanf. While the Mars was in that perlious situation, the Canada, by her extraordinary exertion, suc- ceeded in getting a cable on board of her, aid taking her in tow, after two other ships had pre- viously failed in the attempt. The rocks at that iiiile* to leeward, a dark night approaching, and a gale blb^irig' Wte^cUiger to both ships was imminent, and prudence might have justified an abandonment of the disabled ships but such a measure w lis disdained, and by carrying a press of sail and lrequently wearing, Captain de Courcy kept both off the shore, until a providential and sudden change of wind at length crowned (tis efforts with success, and he towed the Mars, into this port. In iSt?5; he ob- tained his flag, in 1809 he commanded the squa- dron which was employed in the embarkation of Sir .John Mooie's anny af Corunna. Never ,was a service better perl'oinied.

Although it is evident from the communication of hostilities, that the Dey had not made the full con- cessions required of him, it is undertsood, that oil the appearance of the British Ad. miral, he had directed some: Loropean captives lately made, to be placed on the footing of prisoners of war, although they had up to that time been treated as sjavies. Last night the French papers of Thurs- day and Friday arrived atPost Office. The Mbniteur contains an article from the ftladridGazette, on the subject of South America. Its object is to persuade the different powers of Kurope that inde- pendence- is the destruction of prosperity that the different powers interested ht the commerce with that part of the world can never hope to gain any thing by that com- merce till Ferdinand is again King of the Indies as well as Spain that monopoly and restrictions are the very soul of in- dustry and trade, &c. &c. It is evident that Ferdinand has the support of his Holy Allies in his wishes to recover pos- session of Spanish America. He has just dismissed fourteen of his Councillors of State, out of twenty ofhmJrthis Council was composed. The cause of this pro- ceeding is not stated.
