The members of the new Government were re-elected without an exception, and the House of Commons met again on September 16.  Sir Robert peel made a statement to the House, in which he merely intimated that he should adopt the Estimates [playing the knave] of his predecessors, and continue the existing Poor-Law and its Establishment to the 31st of July following.  He declined to announce his own financial measures until the next Session, and continued in this determination unmoved by the speeches of lord John Russell, lord Palmerston, and other Members of the Opposition.  Mr. Fielden moved that no supplies be granted until after an inquiry into the distress of the country; but the motion was negatived by a large majority.  Continual reference was made by Mr. Cobden, Mr. Villiers, and others to the strong desire of the people for a Repeal of the Corn Laws, and which had been loudly expressed out of the House for more than four years.  Mr. BUSFIELD Ferrand denied the necessity for any alteration, and accused the manufacturers of fomenting the agitation for their own selfish ends, and to increase their power of reducing the wages of the already starving workmen.  Mr. Mark Phillips, in a capital speech, disproved all Mr. FERRAND’S statements.  Sir Robert peel brought in a Bill to continue the Poor Law Commission for six months, and Mr. FIELDER’S Amendment [the well dressed and the well to do] to reject it was negatived by 183 to 18.  Lord Melbourne
