I trust the house will bear with use while I egad a few po- e tises from the speeches of a noble earl au ass ONO I have had the satisfaction and pleasure of kooorieg . the noble earl at the head of the government for • gnat weeny years, and 1 have the most unbounded reliance is kin honour. What he has stated by that I am convinced be will abide, and I w i:1 now bring under the consideratim at this house a series of avowals made by the noble earl at the head of the government, and I defy his colleagues in th is house to deny his intentions, or to mystify what he so clearly stated. (Cheers.) I shall tint refer to the statement made by the Earl of Derby on the 2Sth February, 18.;1, when he led fetikd in his endeavour to form an administration. It was on an occasion of great importance, be leaving to state to the Douse of Lords and the country the cause of his failure. and he completed that statement with • frank avowal of the policy he would have adopted had hr sue- ceediel in forming • government. I will now read the principal passages in that apeeels, and point out the policy which he would have adopted. The noblu earl sail—" It would be impcnaible for me, even if my convictions were leas strop,: than they are, it would he impossible fur me as an honest in:us to take other without a full determination to deal with agricultural distress, sod to endeavour to apply, as minister, effectual measures of relief." (Protettiunist cheers.) Wait. The noble earl was petfectly explicit, and I congratulate gentlemen opposite, who have so long laboured for what they tern some re muneration for the unequal burthens upon land, on the prospects which they now have with the Earl of Derby at the head of the government, and the right hon. gentleman opposite in the cabinet, of their succiss in that object which for six years they have so unceasingly laboured to accom plish. The noble earl goes on:—" I will take this oppor tunity of explaining to your lordships what are my views and intentions on the subject of agricultural distress. I say, that by imposing a moderate duty on the importation of foreign corn, you moat raise a considerable revenue for the country, while you read not materially raise the exist ing prices to the consumer, while you might, by the acquisition of an additional revenue of one and a half or two millions mtually, cuable the government to effect an object which would bo of great blue to the community at ierge, namely, the extinction of the incotne tax." Now, observe the noble earl expects one-and-a-half or two mil lions from a duty on corn. The right hon. gentleman opposite said be would scorn a Ti.. duty. I now understand his contempt. Five shillings would not raise onemud-a-half or two millions, it must be a much heavier duty. (Loud cries of " Bear, hear," and cheers.) The noble earl diva says. " I do not hesitate to say, that if I found it impracti cable to effect such a commutati is of our system of taxation (rather • severe comment on the plan of the present Chan cellor of the Exchequer) as should place all dames oa a perfect level, then, accoteliug to the best free-trade authori. tie , it is not adverse to the principles of free trade to impose in favour of the class which is subjected to an undue share of burdens countervailing duties to an amount sufficient to meet those burthens, and I believe that by the impoation of • moderate duty upon the import of corn and provisions, you might raise such an amount of taxation as, at the end of the year after this, would enable the country altogether, and I trust for ever, to abolish the income-tax. I express my frank opinicu that the question of protection—or, if you please, the ques tion of the unrestricted import of provisions—is one which must be settled by the country once and for ever." (Cheers.) The boa. baronet the member for Essex cheors that. I say there is melting more clear titan the course of toe govern ment, as expressed by the Earl of Derby. lie asks for im port duties, including a duty on cote—(hoar, hear)—and the means by which he proposes to effect his purpose are, a dissolution of parliament. Nothing cm be more plain. The noble earl goes on : " But until I en that expression of the feeling of the country—when I find that the pe nal MOM is working an amount of evil tar greater than was anticipated by itkopponents—certa . .ny greater than I aotictpated myself, I unit, as an honest man, abandon the attempt M relieve the existing distress." How ? By remising the take seep that had been taken—. by the ini. position et • moderate import duty upon corn." That was the statement made early lad year and his lordship eon eluded by ening, .

He seed. no objection to sonesseentpemening Is the ether Imes with that mea• sure, ha made no ehlatioe to any emwere they could carry of that setae which did ant peeing the present parliament. The point which he wished to bring clearly before the house was, !that it was the duty of the house to obtain in taus and in substance the assurance of an intention to advise the erown to dissolve se soon as the business necessary to the circumstances of the moment could bo despatched. In regard to the great ques tion of protection, he confessed that, like others, he laboured under • difficulty in comprehending clearly the intention" of her Majesty's government, if he was to endea vour to reconcile together the various declarations that had been made ; hot he thought upon the whole be was justified is taking what had been stated by the right hon. gentleman who had just sat down as a clear and definite indication of the policy it was intended to pursue. The right hon. gentleman said there WAS no intention to reverse the policy of free-trade, and he did not think, as far as a term was concerned that thew ought to tie down his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Duch of Lancaster, which possibly was accidental. (Laughter.) No, be had a reason, and ho hoped they would not sup pose he intended a taunt that he did not intend. He re membered that when in the proceedings of last year that Lord Derby, when as his right hon. friend truly said, in formed him that it was his intention to propose the impo sition of a moderato fixed duty on corn, at that very time he himself said it was not his intention to reverse the free trade policy, but to modify it in &certain degree. He was alike opposed to the reversal and the modification of that policy. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He was indebted to his right hon. friend for having told them so frankly and plainly that it was the intention, so far as the authority and influence of government was concerned, , if not to reverse, yet to alter and to modify the free trade policy. He entirely disclaimed the right to ask her Ma jesty s government what they would do in another parlia ment. In his opinion, according to the spirit of our con stitution, they had better leave another parliament to look "fur its own concerns. What he wiutted to impress on the house was, the absolute and imperative necessity of bring ing this great question to a final issue. Now, WA that an unfair demand by those who knew that they were in a ma jority in that house ? Should they be told that no vote of want of confidence, no vote for shortening the sup plies, had been passed in that house, and that therefore, they must not press for this declaration. He hoped the right hon. gentleman would not place them in the disagreeable alternative of having to choose between what might be called a factious opposition to government, and, on the other hand, shrinking from the duty which they were one and all called upon and determined to fulfil. They might, with his right hon. friend, look, as ho thought, with the greatest satisfaction and delight at the enormous good which had been achieved, in the improvement in the condition of the people that had taken place under free trade, in the additional strength that had thereby been given to all our institutions—to the additional strength, he humbly • begged to say, that had been given to that territorial aristocracy which had imagined it self deeply wounded by the adoption of free trade. Sot while they pointed to these results let them recollect they were not engaged in an argument on free trade. It was to bring that question to a practical issue, it was that if they could not in that parliament, yet that at least some months hence in another parliament they might be &blot° speak, if indeed the sense of the country was with them, they might be able to speak of the doctrine of protection as a thing past and gone, solemnly decided; after having been conscientiously advocated through long years of opposition by a great party, who, at the end of that period, submitted it when in power to the judgment of the country with every advantage that it could derive from the power and influence of the govetnment, that it was fairly considered hy the country after five year' of e ape Wooer and then adjudged by the I louse of Commons after the arguments and debates which had been had upon it, in which all theabilities and attainments of that house would he employed and concentrated upon it. This was the termination of their labours that they had in view, and with a view to that determination, he, for his part, was disposed to pees but ono demand upon the govern ment, a inederseemd just demand as he thought, namely, that t h e Mies= et the country should be expedited with all meals dimata, and that when that business bad been so a the Brown should be advised to appeal to the ' met wilts view to bind the government as to what ahead Is, or even to consider, but with a view to carry lmillead, Ws greet arbitrament, rue far as itldepended on them, to that Yews whisk the whole country, with ono heart and mind, deolred, (Chsers.) 11,. B. COCHRANE said a few words expressive of his eakeishment that those who would not assist the late go vernment to keep them in power, united with them to form a factious opposition to the new ministry. Lord PALMERSTON then rose and said—l am anxious before this debate concludes to state very shortly, and in a few words, the view which I, as an individual member of this house, take of the present position of government, and , of the duty which I thank lies upon this house. The right hon. gentlemen who have spoken from the Treasury bench have disclaimed any wish to appeal to the forbearaneo of this house. I, on the contrary, am willing, on my own part, and I think the house ought to be willing on its cart, to show to them all the forbearance which the pecu liar position in which they have been placed, I think, in the present state of things entitles them to, Their position is perfectly . anomalous, and in principle unconstitutional. It is accidental. Therefore, no blame attaches to them, but they are a minority pro posing and intending to carry on the babies, of the coun try in a House of Commons in which they form the minority. It is obvious that that state of things could not under ordinary circumstances last for any period of time whatever. The course which a government under those circumstances would have properly to pursue would be, either to advise the crown to dissolve parliament and to appeal to the *entry, er to resign office. They have recently bees pined i power by the resignation of that party which up tea recent period formed the majority, and still form the imalerity of this house. A resignation, therefora, would net Is consistent with the decision which they formal when they undertook to form an administration. Now a akeektioa at tho present moment in the state of Weems le this house is avowedly by the is af all pmts. an imposaibility. The house should Menem give dim their forbearance until they can con duct the nerwesary business of the country so as to enable them to dimply, parliament. They have stated some mea sures whisk they think of importance. With regard to eine althea I entirely agree with my right hon. friend wise Ms spoken recently from this bench, but there are one or two which are of importance, and they met be carried.

GIBSON denied:that his party werejustly charge obis with faction P.s.r r..!•.!:g a new government quotinns at to their intentions, before granting them public money. He considered that such a course was most constitutional and legitimate, and he declared that party objects had nothing to de ;with the conduct the opposition were now adopting. Ho begged to caution gentlemen connected with agricultural districts not to practice again upon the credulity of the tenant-farmers, by making promises which they never would be able to fulfil. lie contended that a dissolution was—and the militia question was not—one of pressing neeessity. Sir J. TYRRELL expressed his opinion that the agri culturists' appeal to the country would not be made in vain, as they desired only to assail nnjuat taxation. Mr. OSWALD charged ministers with paltering with their followers, and complained that they had not given • plain alma er to Mr. Villiers's question. In reference to the question of free-trade, he paid • solemn tribute to the memory of Sir Robert Peel, and warned the protectionists of the depth of feeling they would rouse against themselves. Mr. NEWDEGAIE said that the whole proceedings of that night, on the part of the Opposition, were only parts of an interested agitation. Sir James Graham's declaration that ho would "do anything" to support free trade, bore, from certain antecedents, a very wide interpretation, and he had not forgotten Sir James's hint, that the loyalty of the army might be endangered by a protective policy. Ile pronounced a warm culogium upon the virtues of the pro tectionists. Sir A . COCKBURN said that the whole object of the debate was to elicit from ministers an explanation of the commercial policy they meant to adopt. The chief difficulty arose from the contradictory language held by Lord Derby and by his followers. A I cry unsatisfactory solution had been given to the house that night. The Chan. cellor of the Exchequer, with many promises of frankness, had given Mr. Villiers an answer which left it in doubt whether government would or would not impose a corn duty. Ministers were placing themselves in • humiliat ing and degrading position; but he would again put to them the real question, which was, whether their fu ture policy was contingent upon a parliamentary majority ? Unless government were more explicit the appeal to the country, of which they talked, was a mere farce. Again taunting ministers with their ignoble policy, he urged upon them to give • frank answer. Mr. BOOKER exulted that protection, which had been pronounced dead, was as vigorous as ever, and Nourishing in the face of a heterogenous and agitated combination against it. If the opposition were so eager for a dissolution, there was their boasted majority, and the pule was in their own hands. He denied the prosperity of the country, and quoted the present Mr. Henry Grattan as an authority. The house then went into committee of supply, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. On the first vote of 39,000 seamen and marines, Mr. HUME objected to going on with any rote after midnight. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the hon. gentleman would allow one vote to be taken. He feared he had misunderstood the character of the debate of that evening, for he thought there was gnat anxiety expressed to advance all necessary measures. (Hear, hear.) They would never reach the Mutiny Act unless they got on ; and he hoped at least one vote would be taken. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that if this vote was allowed, the whole of the naval estimates would be taken. Mr. HUME said that it had been agreed that no vote should be taken after 12 o'clock if i‘ was objected to. Ile should be sorry if the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer began wrongly at the very first. (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would not press a vote against any rule that had been made, but this was an exception which proved the rule, and the circum stances under which it was proposed were peculiar. Lord J. RUSSELL would agree to the vote being taken. He had never concurred in the opinion of his hon.' friend, that no vote should be taken after midnight. If there was any objection to the number of 39,000, the house would no doubt be ready to hear it. (Hear, hear.) Another reason for agreeing to the vote, was, that the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had that night beard the opinions of many members, with respect to the expediency of the government advising a dis solution of parliament, after the necessary business had been gone through, without the house being called on to take into consideration any of the other measures which the government had stated they were about to bring forward. Perhaps, before Friday, the next day for going into committee of supply, the government would reconsider their course, and concur in the wish which had been expressed in the debate of that night. He should be sorry to give a vote adverse to the government in committee of supply, if they merely went on with supply, without entering on measures with a view to a protracted session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the noble lord only did him justice in believing that it was his duty and his pleasure to listen to the sentiments of the house, and to defer to its predominant feeling; but he was sure the noble lord would not ask to come on the sudden to a decision on this point. He had watched the proceedings of the evening, but when the noble lord said that all the government was required to do was to pass the proper measures necessary for the service of the country, he must remind him that on that evening there was a very important difference between two of the most eminent sup porters of the noble lord with regard to what measures were II Mr. c l e ft 's :a said he wished to have an opportunity of ' remarking on the distribution of this very force, and to show that if it was properly distributed there would be no necessity for any additional force, but he had no objection Ito go on. Mr. W. WILLIAMS did not object to the number of men, but he objected to taking a vote after 12 o'clock. A vote of 39,000 seamen, including 11,000 marines and 2,000 boys, and a naval reserve of 5,000 men, was agreed to. On the vote of 1,489,0541. for the wages to seamen, ma rines, and naval reserve, Mr. HUME said if the vote would facilitate a dissolution, he would not throw any impediment in the way. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. W. Wittiams, The vote was then agreed to, as was another of 606,5781. for victuals. The house having resumed, afterwards re solved itself into committee of ways and means, and a vote of 8,000,0001. was taken. The Burghs (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. Tbo Charitable Trusts Bill and the Copyright Amend ment Bill were also read a second time. The Suitors iu Chaucer Retie[ (Stamp Duties, &c.) Bill plumed through committee. The house adjourned at one o'clock. LONDON, TUREIDAT, MARCH 16. LAST night, the DERBY ministry came fully and fairly upon the parliamentary stage. The first flush of suoccas—the need for getting into their new ' position—and the delay necessarily arising from the its-election of those members of the House of Com mas who wars named to the new government, amid a esetain amount of delay, and gave a season at breathing these to the men who must have been astseished by their sudden accession to office. The peopkwho regarded the recent change of ministry with more indifference than the whigs could desire, were yet enough on the alert to re-establish an organisation laid by long since from a belief that such means were no longer needed. The fact of these re organisations was almost the only real proof of poli tical excitement. All waited to see what Lord DERBY would do, or propose to do. The fact of the installation of a DERBY Ministry wee regarded as sufficient evidence that free-trade and liberal pro gress needed watching, and reformers and fire traders showed that their beliefs were ready to expand into active political operation. Still, all waited for last night, as it were, for the word of command for future operations. The House of Commons last evening was very full. The tones mustered in unusual force. It was a nevelt) for them to be on the ministerial benches, and they seemed to like their new quarters. It felt, doubtless, like a return of the old times, when their party had all their own wayandthe people were pooh poohed. The proceedings commenced with a great fire of questions. Mr. Heim., ttwished to know if the new CHANCELLOROf the EXCHEQUER meant to tax coals —as had been alleged—and Mr. lksitsem, not wish ing, after all that has been said on the subject, to levy an impost on that necessary of life, declared his com plete innocence of any such intention. Mr. WILSON asked Sir J. PAKINOTON about sugar; and another hon. member inquired of the new Secretary of the Colonies his present convictions on the subject of beer ; and this and other such preliminary fencing —all told in our parliamentary columns—made up the prologue to the serious drama of the night. The real fray was began by one of the members for Man cheater readings petition of the Chamberof Commerce of that city against any interference with the free. trade policy that had been adopted by the country. This ended, Mr. VILLIERB stated his case, and_ without any showy pretensions to oratory—he went on with his statement until the real greatness of th e question, the importance of the facts he had to muster, the real immensity of the stake at issue, the proofs that demonstrated the advan. tages of our present system, the array of illus trations presenting themselves to show how emu. pletely freedom of commerce had tended to increase employment, to diminish want, to lessen pauperism to Increase the comforts of the industrious poor, to leave for large =ameba margin beyond the claims of mere existence for expenditure upon comforts and even luxuries from which revenue was derived —all these points came so abundantly, yet so quietly and unprctendingly into his discourse, that the hushed and crowded assembly listened to every sentence th.it he uttered, and his mild voice filled the whole house so completely, that every word seemed appreciated. He concluded by asking the new CH/int:mos of the ExcuatreEtt whether they intended to interfere with free•tradel) Mr. DISH Mil rose to make his first speech as a minister. lie had a great tusk un hand. lie knew he was one of a ministry of a minority, and he knew also that the opposition demanded a clear answe r to their question—" What Lord Denav meant to do ?' And here his difficulties arose. If the ministry, of which he is a leading member, knew themselves to ho in a majority, his course would have been clear enough. But they knew the very reverse, and uuwil. ling to succumb to the constitutional neeteeities of such a position, Mr. Disnaltia had on hand the task of answering a plain question in a way that it should stop present inquiry, and yet be as doubtful an answer as might be. to this task he addressed himself; but ho stuttered and stumbled, and got himself into a tangle of involved sentences, from which it required all the tact and talent of his race and of his literury training to get him free. lie talked, and yet said nothing in express terms: and those who listened had to unravel the tangled skein of words in which he sought to make as little as possible seem all that could Le told. The calm facts of his free-trade antagonist seemed to challenge him to nn equal calmness and clearness of reply, and, feeling this, he talked again and again of answering " freckly " that whirl, the house and the country demanded to know of himself and his colleagues. But his frankness was foggi. ness—his explanations were riddles. Through the haze one thing was discoverable, and that one thing is enough for the solution of the difficulty on hand. Mr. Dlsites.t.t, in truth, echoed what Lord DERBY had previously told—that the ministry of which he is a member will not tale, timing the existence of the present parliament, any step fur carrying out those views on which they have risen to power. Nor will they say that, in another parliament--come when it may—they will be prepared to stand by any defined policy. They have obtained place as protectionists. Yet they refuse to avow protection—not from any want of desire for re-enforcing a tax on the food of the people, but because they know that the avowal which common honesty requires them to make would shorten their tenure of office. Protectionists at the hustings; protectionists in their alliance with any and every section who were ready to damage the Whig free-traders ; protectionists when they voted with Lord PALMERSTON to upset Lord Jan hrs. SELL, they now—in a drawn House of Commons contest—refuse to avow protection. They tenet, and beat round about the bush, and talk their given quantity of words by the House of Commons' cluck, but straightforward explanation does not suit them. And the reason 'shy, Lord Jolts lit:sr-ELL, with his long knowledge of partisan tactics, explained. The protectionists arc in heart and truth, as a body, as determined as ever to levy black mail on the bread and the industry of the people of this country; but if they consented to raise their flag in this parliament—if they explained before the coming dissolution anything on which the adverse parties could go to the hustings —on that explanation the coming elections would be fought. If they avowed protection, the voters might decide whether they would have a free-trader or a pro tectionist, and the new parliament would so far be an honest one. Such a reference to the com mon sense and the feelings and the pockets of the country, the DERBY ministry do not want. They will postpone the dissolution to the latest pos sible moment, but when it does come they want to go "unpledged" to the poll. They wish to leave the whole question to the "fortune" of many doubts and a full purse at the Carlton. Giving now no pledges and no explanations, the county members can go to the counties swearing by protection, and on that they may get their seats in the new house ; whilst the borough members may with equal freedom go to the towns and say " Lord DERBY and the ministry to which I ant attached, say nothing of protection'—protection is gone." In both cases the tones, by their present plans, may play the game of false pretences at the election %hick must conic soon—if the reformers let them. Happily this parliament -has yet enough of vitality to give scope for a full and clear declaration of principles, and it is clearly the duty of honest men of all parties to see that before parlia ment is dissolved there shall be such a declaration of views by each political section as shall make the course of the constituents clear in the coming struggle. Every member of the present parliament should be compelled, preparatory to a dissolution, to speak out plainly. " Under which King, Bezosisx, —speak or die." Let us at least know who are re , formers, and who arc not—who would tax food, to raise rents—and who they are that prefer re action to progress—and since the ministry will not explain themselves on fair solicitation so to do, it becomes the duty of their opponents to obtain, by compulsion, what is refused to courtesy, to reason, and to constitutional requirements.
