Lout CIiANWORTH said that fhb wee but one of many eneetinents which were requited to render law cheaper, meremere intelligible, and more sneer . It hid Weeniest sad laboriously eeaaidered in (osmium PROPERTY TAX CONTINUANCE BILL. The Earl of DERBY rose to awe the mead reeding of Ibis bill, the object of which we, to continue the income Sea for one year. Their lordships mast be well aware that at the counneneement of the prang session, en the change of the government, there wee a 'retest under standing on the part of that and the other hoer of perils. feat, that, with the exception of the carnet and necessary business and thaws matters which, being required for the paha. advantage, were not likely to lead to any dif ference of opinion, it was not the Mention of her Majesty's government and not the wish of pediment, that any mea sure involving material changes of *lcy and which would lead to discussion should be iutewillesed In the auras of the r at 'resent session. And more y with regard to ell questions ancting the ' policy of the country. There was sears ea uudentsedies —there was a distinct isslissilsra-1 b 0 be axiom should be brought forward mini INFO . 41111418 fiscal and commercial policy of the 4111111.f1e_., 9:t= therefore, which the government In OM= 60 „ was, whether they had ti'e menningimbloi Onen a 1 lions between the income and Cream es wiull hie them t," dispense with that tax, shirk= to whir he was the last person to underrate, became he felt them strongly himself. But the present question was, whoa say other tax could be substituted, or any new fent of the system of taxation made without an IV= of new taxes, and whether it was possible in the present 1110600 to dispense with the whole or any part of this tag ? And he thought a single word would satisfy their 'ordains that even if it had been desired in that state of wholly to dispense with a tax which was levied on far • temporary purpose—and which be still hoped be looked upon as a temporary tax, but which had bees continued from year to year from the necessity of the ease —their lordships, he thought, would agree with him, that unless they were in a position to come to some general and Anal arrangement, it would have been inconvenient to dis continue for the present year any portiin of a tax, the whole or •large portion of which must necessarily have been restored neat session. But, practically speaking, they had not even this alternative, for although it was true that there was a considerable surplus of income over expenditure in the last year, yet the alterations of taxation which took place in that year, the whole of which did not fall es the receipts of the year, but the whole of which would operate in diminution of the receipts of the present year— without troubling their lordships with the figures, the re sult would have been to this e ff ect if the inecesetaz had been altogether taken off in the course of the preaset year, the is suit would bare been that one-half of the tax ham still receivable and carried to the swat se be year, at the close of the financial year there VIM kw been a de& Mercy of about 2,600,0001.

This was no mere , rsaillia WI 0011111 which every person who took up pub- ihe NMI have made up his mind long ago. (Hear.) 1 The SOll IV DEBBY—I one prepared to say on the part elmmnif sail my noble Mends and my colleagues in the gam boas of parliament, that I do not think we shall be MIMI% either the one or the other of the alternatives to mhisla the noble earl has referred. With due respect to the nat. earl I mut say that shiest the whole of the speech we have just heard is, in a great wean's, if not altogether, Irrelevant to the subject now before us, that subject being not the financial condition of tho country, but whether we should renew, for a single year, an objectionable tax, or leave the country in a deficiency, this year of two minis* and probably in the next year of floe millions. I say that in the discussion of a bill for such a measure I do not think it relevant to enter into the whole discussion of the commercial policy of the country, more especially when the noble earl knows that in the circum stances in which her Majesty's government have been placed and in which they took office so full and complete disoustion on that subject is on their part impossible. The greater part of the noble earl's speech refers to a point wholly irrelevant to the continuance of the income tax— namely, to the effect which he considers to have been in troduced by free trade in sugar. Aod when, on the one hand, the noble earl has with candour admitted that the great revolution in commercial policy to which he refers did net take place at an earlier period than 1848, and conse quently do not refer to the earlier period of Sir R. Peel's administration, from 1842 to 1846 ; yet, at the same time, he asked whether it is the intention to pursue the commer cial policy of Sir It. Peel ; and he illustrated that question Nanelabereq argument on the subject of the sugar duties. ow, permit me to remind your lordships, that the bill for abolishing the differential duties on suer,. was no part of tie polity of Sir Robert Peel . and, it is perfectly well known, that when the prologs' for the remission of those didirsatial duties was ma e by lam Melfety's late govern ment, Sir Robert Peel, with the psutsk releetanoe, was Minced to goat= to that Z a ma besanse be thought that the i wee equitable or ttreer t be be lad to choose the efts Web mode at paosedieg end the Xdadre lab gemommant hem aim. dig Ii c a 4it the onere as bed I Mink the a& kb= anme sprgt in _ aggesages, alliseses lbw was sloping • pair be Naar woe eggs* to.

Now I em ' not rag to follow either the noble dales, or the noble earl, or any noble lord who has epoken this evening, into the general discussion on the abstract merits of free trade leg commercial policy. To a portion of that Smlnterelal p - 1 Nig I warn willingly a consenting party. I willingly re dm* the amount of differential duties, because I `um theiteue with Sir It.

In like manner. I do not deny that it is possible that there has been ma Increased derasumplias of the neeemsines of life, 1a ileneequenee of the vest fall in the price of eons in this country, but that that West.. has been in snything like the proportion that has been stated by noble lords opposite, is directly contrary to the facts, and, if I had the figures, I Weld show has heels, greatly exaggerated. Noble lords Waits talk about an Increase of ten millions of quarters grain in the tuensomption of one year. They overlook die fact that, before 1848, the importation was something like three or four millions of quieter., which, being de ducted, leaves only from six to seven millions of quarters. The noble end asked me if I believed that 800,000 acres of wheat land have gone out of cultivation—in the face, he says of all the immense hie:mare', under fnelosure note, ;hat have taken place ? But al though 800,000 acres no doubt have gone out of cul tivation, does the noble earl mean to tell me that there has been no diminution in the mount of grain sent to this country from Inland? Does he not know there has been • diminution of something like 300,000, and that in the course of the last three years you have had a further re duction of imports from Ireland to tho amount of some thing like two millions of quarters of cern. I do not say there has been no increase in the consumption of corn in this country, but when noble lords opposite say the increase has been to the amount of 10 millions, they grossly exaggerate, and nearly fourfold, that which I believe to be the increased consumption of this country. But, my lords, how has that increase been produced ? The noble duke (Newcastle) passed very lightly over this part of the subject, and said he would not deal with the question as affected landlords and tenants. Well, that is a very sum mary mode of proceeding. It may he very well for the noble duke—it may be very well for other noble lords, and for the large landed proprietors of this country, to say, " We can afford heavy losses, and still have a • large disposable fortune—still a sufficient income to support us in comforts and conveniences." But, I say, there are large classes in this country who arc both landlords and tenants. (Hear, hear.) Leaving out of sight, for the moment, tho landlords on the one hand, and the farmers on the other, I ask what has been the condition of that class which consists of landlords and tenants combined, the small proprieton cultivating their own land, on 111110•1 this kip has fallen with a double weight, and on whom it has primed with a severity which has utterly extinguished • considerable portion of the elms, and driven a considerable portion hoes to seek refuge in other countries from the difficulties forced on them sud denly at home ? (Hear,. hear.) I see with satisfaction, and I believe it to be ao in a great part of this eountry,l that the labouring classes are enjoying at this moment a very considerable amount of prosperity ;—(cheers)—and I, indeed, should be the very last man who would desire, by any measure I might recommend to parliament, to deprive those labourers of any portion of that prosperity. (Cheers.) But, undoubtedly, I say the prosperity of the labourer must be ultimately dependent on the prosperity and comfort of the employer; and if you diminish materially the means of the employers of labour, sooner or later that must tall upon the labourer, and by him ultimately must that loos be borne. (Hear, hear.) Wages have not been diminished et the present moment in proportion to the fall in the price of corn ' • that is to say, the loss so for has fallen on the land lords and on the teeants, and not upon the labourers; and in consequence of that fact, as I believe it to be, en doubt the labourers are enjoying • considerable degree of pros perity. It is also perfectly true, as stated by the noble lords opposite, that in the course of the last two or three years both tenants and landlords hats been making extraordinary exertion. to improve the system of agriculture in this country. The stimulus of necessity has operated upon them ; and, to • certain extent, it has operated on them moat advantageously: but it has operated on them, nevertheless, in some directions ' with great severity, with great oppression, and with great hard ship ; sad I have very great doubts whether, in many caw—although the temporary consequences of that outlay and that expenditure so undergone have been most bene ficial upon the condition of the working classes—that outlay and that expenditure have not proved • dead loss to the proprietors and to the tenant.. My lords, I do not further contest this—that in the course of the last few years there has been a great extension of our articles of export. I am net going to enter on the question— a very difficult question, and one which I think no person can properly investigate or fully explain at the present moment—what hes been or what is likely to be the effect of the astounding dis coveries of gold taking place in various quarters of the world. But of this I have , no doubt: that, if it had not been for those great and increasing discoveries of gold, and for that largo influx which is arriving into this country with rapidly increasing speed, you would have seen a very different state of commercial affairs in the course of the last year from that which you sec at the present moment. (Rear, hear.) And although it may be quite true that the amount of OUT imports has largely increased, that the amount of our exports has largely increased, and that the amount of some of our productions has largely increased, I very greatly doubt whether, if we could look into the balance sheets of our com merciali men, wo should find that the increased amount of traffic, of production, of exports and imports, have been accompanied with a cor responding amount of profit, ; my belief, on the contrary, being that we should see that with the largest amount of trade, I think, ever known, few years, abort of years of ab solute panic, have been less profitable to importers and to merchant. generally than the three or tour years which have just elapsed. (Hear, hear.) In proof of the prospe rity of the country, noble lords opposite arejond of quoting the returns, attesting a diminution in the amount of pau perism ; and the noble earl (Grey), for example, commenced with 1848, and congratulated the country on the decrease of pauperism dace 1918. We ll _my lords, but is it quite fair to take the year ISO ? Why, when it suited another ppaarrtt of the argument, we had a most vivid iaelaration front the noble earl who had just sat down that 1848 was of so exceptional a character, one in which all dame were involved in such absolute ruin, being besides the year immediately succeeding the famine (though he did not mention that feet), that the amount of pauperism in that year is not by any means a safo point from which to talc late our " increasing prosperity.' I believe, however, I am menet in saying that, with all the prosperity of the comb" at this moment, with all the diminution in the prime of food, with all the diminution in the amounts for the idle of each individual pauper, your expenses, even in W t year, for the maintenance of your paupers emceed—obsorve in this present year—fa real lOW* eesrwt that which they were in 1846 anellllll. [ffear, howl Now, I will not take the equivocal peer 11101. But I will not admit that it is a posit of inertial's prosperity, es .ktftA from free trade, that doe the Salm peer, ISM, the amount of per pram hos 100 in this country. I lee, fdlierliehrddie Wain heads demi I Wired th a li c a that in the er lent pad a very mum is maiplit inereming verlibmses dation by beading new homes and altering old hewn end I don't think that this looks like a symptom of laseeme presgri=r diminishing pauperism. But, say pat nhbed. Is It a great proof of prosperity S as h di e bans and the sinew of the country is emigrating , flying from distress here, and seeking employ ment la other countries? I ask you, has this mitigation Mitno effect on your returns of pauperhna ? We are t id there has been a falling of ut the course of the prillost year of I think 17,000 paupers. Now, at the ex pense of the parishes alone, there have been sent out about 2.000 from England during the present year; and that estimate of diminished pauperism takes no aoeount of the emigration which ham gone on. voluntarily from England and Ireland together, and which amounted In the course of last year to between* 600,080 and 800,000 persons. Why, that is an emigration, in great part, of the pauperised elm. Earl GREY—But there were not 600,000. They gene only 300,000. Bad of DERBY (after some examination of • document handed to hest by ope of the ministers)—The noble earl Ice quite right. The total is 336,000 from England and Ire land. It however, difficult to ascertain what is the pre-* tile amount of the Irish emigration, because a large pro-` portion of the Irish emigrants sad from Liverpool, and then, of course, come into the returns of English emigration. But if 835,000 of the pauperised class of the community have emigrated in the course of a year, following upon the diminution of the population by &mine and by disease, to an extent Which is really troful to contemplate. it fa not extraordinary that, under such circumstances, without any' reference to free traits at all, there should be a diminution in the total amount of the relieved pauperism of this country. (Hear, beer.) I aid not intend certainly (pro ceededthe noble earl after • long pause in which he peered to consult with his colleagues on the front Mines- Oriel bench) to be drawn into any discussion of the general , condition of the country as estimated by the amount of pauperism and other circumstances, referred to at such great length by various noble lords. All I desire to say is this—that while I do not deny that certain classes of the community have largely gained by the introduction of the free trade E11110•11Sy while I believe that the whole community has gainiskeens siderably by the greater cheapness of thole adds@ of swim sumption which are imported from ether osentelen—l I nevertheless believe, with regard to ease peelinme et die free trade . system • that thi&V .7 l.l not hp tap nmanIONISS an unmitigated ;cad, sad bele yeemeinpon Jellgo sections of the community beie, tad upon lore !madam of I our colonial fellow-subjects, with severe and injurious:re-I stilts. The noble earl has asked me—seeking a declaration —what is the policy which the government intend to par sue—do they iutend to reverse the policy of Sir Robert Peel, or do they not? Now, my lords, I have already stated, perhaps mare distioctly than was absolutely discreet, that I have had no intention of reversing the policy of Sir [Robert Peel ; understanding by that policy the policy which prevailed from 1842 down to 1846. I are even no desire of reversing the policy of Sir Robert Peel, as evinced 1848 by • reduction of the duties oa the import offmiles I corn. I should desire, as I have repeatedly stated, and 4 sow with my right Iwo. friend the Chancellor of the Ra• Mier in believing so, that a moderate duty . upon the in.. lag Of foreign corn, while it would not perceivably increase the petals the consumer, would be for the country at largo the ebeepeet and the mos t effectual mode of giving relief 611 thine *mai who are now suffering from recent oonanterelal leghleffien. I repeat again, what I have said distinctly be fore, elm the question whether that alternative shall he le one upon which the country must decide ; and 1 • that I have given such great satiefaction to the Tad and to the noble lords opposite, by what they call an important declaration which has been made by me this evening, end which was neither =mace lees thus this, that in my belief, and as far as 1 can judgto, the lion" "1 the impending election will net be in favour of • proposition to reimpose any duties whatever on foreign corn—will not be to give me, la fact, such an authority without which, es I previously declared, I would sot submit that proposition to partite meet. (Hear, hear.) When the noble earl Cella me that I have given up all idea of such a proposition, that 1 have abandoned all idea and intention of bringing it forward, I must take the liberty l o oha f t sai b i am o l g r t s lit hda t c l i m parrec n idp.i o , b , l j e ntil lo i r owi l mi b thins..r oce. pne si o o n n e ..t s i t i e a p t t l oo w f o ar ul . a out a majority. I have now intimated my opinion that we are not likely to have such a majority, so far as I can judge from present appearances. But, if the sense of the country should be different from that which I at this nonneet inter pret. then I say I bold my former opinion, namely, is n o other mode could we more advantageously, linanciully, or commercially, provide for the distress of stiffi:riiio e t as ," of this country. Then, however, the noble lord, having th ug misrepresented me, of course uniutentiunally, stating that I bad abandoned all idea now or at any other time of pro posing any duty on foreign cora, proceeds to say, Will yee go one step further, and will you declare that you will do nothing whatever for the purpose (I don't recollect his par ticular expression, but the expression has been used by other noble lords) of " tampering" with the existing system ? Now, if the noble lord mines to ask, me whether, as minister of the crown, if 1 um unaWe• to afford relief to those inter, ate which are suffering, in that manner which I believe to be the most &dean. tageous, I am therefore prepared to abandon them altoge. ther, and to seek for no other mode of relieving them, I say not only will I not say that, but it is the precise oppo . site of that which I have said before, and of that which I will repeat now. And I now declare, whatever may . be the consequences with regard to the support or opposition of noble lords opposite, or of right hon. gentlemen elsewhere, that it is the purpose of the government to seek to etfurd a bet and an equitable relief to Dom classes who, if f or t h e nefit of the community at throe, have N - 111 made the victims and sufferers; and I believe that on the part of the English people there is that sense of justice that they , will not see one class, or two or more aliases, deprived of the advantages which they have hitherto enjoyed, and at the same time rendered subject to an undue proporti o n o f the burdens they have hitherto borne. 1 nude, therefore, distinctly, that at is my intention, and that it is the wish and the determination of the government, to direct their attention to the bent method they can devise of relieving those suffering interests. The extent and the nature of the relief may not be altogether within our own control and command ; but to afford that relief, and at the same tune to do full justice to all classes iu the community, I declare now, as I have declared before, that the attention of the government will be directed, and that we shell bold it to be our paramount duty, in some shape or other, to extend that relief to those dames who have been suffering foe the good—if it be the good—of the rest of the people. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of ARGYLL denied that, se a class, the pro ducers had suffered. lie e.xpressed sat , sfuction at the intima tion of Lord Derby, that the country would not give him a majority in favour of protection at the coming election; ' , and, as that intimation amounted in effect to an abandon merit of that policy, he pressed on his lordshii, that no dis advantage could result to him if he would honestly declare. that it was finally abandoned, and that no future attempt would be made to press on • reluctant people mea.sures which lie believed would be fatal to the safety of the country. The bill was then read a second time, and At a quarter before ten their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, Mtl' 21. The Bruaza took to their at a quarter before foul o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

At the same time the subject would receive the continued at tention of the government, and as soon as they saw their way clear to the introduction of such a bill they would bring it in. (Hear.) THE FISHERIES TREATY. Mr. HENLEY, in reply to Sir G. Pxertstx, said that amongst the other provisions of the act of parliament on this matter was one forbidding any fishing boat to have, from the Ist of May to the lot of An gust, any dredge or other implement on board for the pare pose of taking °tette,. Her Matjesty's government had re ceived front the French government an intimation of that intention to carry out the treaty, and wishing this govern ment to do the same. They had also received memorial' from various bodies of fishermen on the subject, the fishermen of Dover and Kent praying that the act should be relaxed, and those of Whitstable and Eases requesting iti strict enforcement. Under these eiretimstances the go vernment bad no choice but to have the law, while it re mained law, fully carried out. Under the present law there was no prohibition of oysters either being landed or sold—the only thing forbidden was the having of dredges on board, the object of that enactment being no doubt to pre vent poaching.
