Upon the establislememt el peace, it was long before the eentisental nations scald m asks any great exertions at sea ; but dare was now deity ineressinf a spirit of reaction against any mesepely_or advantage being in the hands of say single purer. (Rear.) This was seen by the sagacity of the government, who introduced and Untied through parliament the reciprocity treaties, and some of the most favourable of those trestles were on the en of expiring. (Hear, hear.) Our treaties with Frames, Denmark, Russia, the Ranee Towns, Holland, and Austria could, by 12 months' notice, be instantaneously put an end te. The noble earl had alluded to such notion as Improper threats By our treaty with Austria we did sot grant any portion of our carrying trade to her, and a representa tion from that power of the inequality of our treaty with them could not be considered as an Improper threat. A. to Russia, we enjoyed full participation in their direct and in direct trade ; but would it be said if the Emperor of Russia, whoa our treaty expired in 1863, were to say he could not renew it on such one-sided terms, that it would be an im proper threat ? It was said last night that Russia had no succentile return trade. He hrd, however, a statement of the name vessels of belonging to Russia, i Belgium, Frame, Spain, and Portage!, which during the last three years had entered the ports of the Disked lingiom from 1846 to 1848, excludes of vessels in countries be had enumerated, with the wxception' of France (and that only 'teaseling in tee year), the largest number of tons was to be set down to Russia. In 1848, the tonnage of foreign ves sels entering British ports was, Swedes, 61,000 tons • Dutch, 78,000 tome ; Belgians, 38 . 000 tons; Spanish , 14,000 tons ; Portuguese, 7,000 ton; Russian, 78,180 tons. The noble earl said thew mattes could be arranged by preliminary treaties; bat he wee calling the attention of their lordships to the state ef this country if foreign powers refused to renew their treaties on the same favourable teems, and we lost our present direct trade with them . The noble marquis the president of the council stated that if foreign pewees forbade us to engage in their direst and carrying trade they could throw more that 200,000 tons et British shipping out of employ ment. He found that during the last year there entered foreign porta 233,000 tons of British shipping, and cleared out 230,000 tons. That was the trade carded on by British shipping front one foreign port to another. (Hear, bear.) The noble sad barged lord had male a very stroeg attack in the noble marquis (Lansdowne) for saylog that the whole of this trade was bible to be ant eft; he had stated that it was a gross calumny, and attempted to account for the somber of tons of British shipping omega in foreign trade by suing that some of the vemels mile thirty-two voyages is the emus of the yew.

Mar. hear.) It bed been said that the navigation Isere isossoied in making the mercantile marine a nursery ler the loyal navy, and that the modern system of ream ssvigation required a larger number of hands to be trained . But he thought it would be found that the navy did not draw Plage a mooed= of the hands it employed from the megesstile mmsse, If, however, they were to rely on de =sesigedwehle assists/nos from the mercantile navy, be Ono woo little fear of the remit when he found the iesemse offiritish seamen from 1823 to 1847 had been from 186.000 to 182,000—(hear)—snd when he found that, in British midge, the tonnage had increased 10 per oat. (Rear, hoar.) The attention of their lordships bad M called to the Inman of steam navigating, and he I Inlaid ask what nation meld fit out steam-vessels as we could ? It migh t be wellies:My a s serted that is us i m p of shipping and of all in steam and iron-built veawls, could this country be said to stand on a disadvantage with any other country in the world. (Bear, hear.) And when we had swept away the last imperfect remains of protection which we still retained under the navigation laws, we should be in a still prouder position. And he could not but think that his noble friend the President of the Council had met with unjust censure when he was reproached for having spokes of the existing navigation laws as shreds and patches. Why, what were the terms in which the former advocates of neenopoly—tba moot obstinate adherents to the navigation laws—spoke of those laws since the passing of the reciprocity treaties ? Mr. Young said that the protection was so inadequate, where these treaties of reciprocity existed that it could scarcely be called protection at all. (Hear, hear.) The American ships compete with the cheapest built ships in the world ; we could, with regard to strength, and durability build ships as cheap, and boat the American ship in the ports of the United States. That country which could always present the largest number of ships, and offer the lowest rate of freight, must in the end secure the gnat proportion of the carrying trade of the world. (Hear, heal - This was what gave their envied ascendancy to the Dutch. Low rates of freight would do for the traffic of the ships of the sea what low rates of travelling did on shore— they would create traffic where none appeared to have been wanting bofore—thsy would suggest wants which had not been felt before ; and not content with emoting, they would satis'y them. (Hoar, hear.) flo that, considering that the repeal of the navigation laws would confer advan tages on the foreigners, if they liked, —assuming that in some particular points we should be placed on terms of &lad vantag i e wth reference to them, and that sharp competition would ensue, yet, believing fa the impales always given to trade when restraint was boned, and believing in the re bounding elasticity of British trade to meet all rivalry, be could not doubt that ws should secure by far the largest pro portion of then mercantile traffic of the world. (Cheers ) Be could believe that a system of exclusion and monopoly such as our navigation code might have appeared plausible when our power was confined within narrower limits—but now, when then was no section or region of the world in which we had not visited the shores and occu pied the seas from the Ceps to Oregon, from New foundland to New Zealand, every obstacle, every impedi ment was multiplied ten-fold with regard to our own shipping, that of our colonies, and all the co:seabird with which we had any communifttien. (Rear, hear.) By our own prowess, and enterprise, and activity we had so dotted the globe, that to interrupt our traffic between our colonies and the rest of the world would be to min our legislation, to an extent which it had never been before, a universal nuisance. (Bear, hear.) He had endeavoured to lay the chief stress on the advantages which a relaxation of the na vigation laws would confer on our commerce; but he was not blind to the colonial part of the Teatime, as that which most immediately pressed on the attention of the initiators. The way in which he regarded and explained the indisposi• Lion of the mercantile body to any such changes as the present was, that he had generally observed when men of particular occupations and pursuits had been long addicted to them, and bad acquired as intimate knowledge of the intricacies and difficulties by which those pursuits were sur rounded, they were averse to measures which tended to throw open their pursuits to all the world, and be came strongly disposed to retain all the difficulties which wen accustomed to. He trusted that he had a just estimate on the naval power of Great Bel ,as well as on her mercantile marine, and that he was as alive as any of their lordship to the vast 'aspartame of maintaining in full vigour the national fleets, whir* at the moment when" Rule Britannia" bad been sung in the streets of Paris were not likely to be aban doned to decay. But he did not anticipate any injury to the cadency of the British navy from the present measure. Neither did he apprehend any danger to the national de fences from its be law. On the contrary—it was that, in his spines, the effect of the measure would giro incensed employment to seamen, and infuse invipration Leto the hide, ussufacturee, and commerce of Great Britain , that he enmensd it ; and it was by instituting new reward; fee the Wintry of the cemmualty, and by developing the resestross of essoloyessat for shipping that the beet guaran tees would le Bost kr the permanence of the national de. fenees—deissem whisk had hitherto been sufficient to render England the mistress of the seas, and by the blaring of Gad would loos medians to maintain her in that position. (Cheers.) and shipping, and by obtaining fresh outlets for their pro dwelt:me and industry. The motile earl made sows further observations, which were perfectly inaudible in the galled. Earl NELSON regretted that ouch a measure u the pre• meat should have been brought forward after the very strong meanies of opinion that had been manifested on the sub ject by the mantratile and shipping classes, aid by the wit mass estaininsi begin their lordships' essamittee. He could show that out 182 petitiene st bill and 60 petitions h of e it, whisk had be ndsid on e their lordship' table, 67 alike forme wore hem landowners; and all the rest IMO from preens semsested with shipping, either directly or thr_ouglt the shwas of essamerce. Re would not go into the eoloolei port of the question; but be would only sweat all the &muds ef the colonists could be conceded giant undo the Wein navigation laws, and the refuel of the parliament to grant those concessions had been the sense why the osienies had petitioned the legislature to pass the present NIL As to the retaliatory clauses which the bill eseedsted, they could never be enforced, and the first step ease it became law, would be to repeal those clause. Although Lord Nan bad been dead many years his seamy was not fipplemb sad although the navigation laws ashes be lived undergone great changes, still their prig dohs remeined the isms se in his day. He could not forget dint Lad Noises disobeyed ordain and subjected himself to Wel by erarbasertia in his determination to maintain the *eft of ass navigation laws in the West Indies. He pur sued the mime li ne of policy at Copenhagen, and he luid msieWastul the deepest anxiety to spare the b lo i odsh e d which boa 110111111111 at that city, in which he might have enc omia he have got his fleet away in time M ik a di reententit Beads. Lord Nelson would never Iwo bees Ale ell mks good the national defence.' of England la the peer II MI bed we the navigation laws existed where emit he have hurl Gallon, or whence would B lend have prosured bee menelacial navy, but by means of ewes laws ? He wouldenly.say one word es to the attempts new maids; to establish arbitrations between forelgn powers ia cues of dispute. It was all very well to talk of peaceful arbitrations; bat, even framing all the nations of Europe to to that mode of settling disputes, what secti- Zrylvd resort as there that some master spirit should not rise up and faros on a war, sad bow could the British nation be safe if she had not a naval force ? He called upon all who had the interests of their country at heart to oppose the measure, and to trust to the experience of the post, Tether than to the vogue promises whisk were founded on issprestioable end unsound theories. Earl BRUCE said that as en independent member of their lordships' house, who usually supported the measures of government, he should feel it to be his duty to state the ramose why he bad come to the genital= that titre never had been • measure which he bad a men perfect conviction was • right one than the present. If he thought the bill would the naval efltriency of the United Kingdom, be world the last man to support it. It bad been argued by the op poemits of the present measure that it was batter to leave Wan as they were. But he bagged to say, things 'saki not be left as they were. All things were in a coarse of change. The colonies were undergoing the meet embus changes, in consequence of the legislature hay's, entirely ' altered their position. The colonies had lost the protection which they formerly enjoyed, end it was natural for them to souk to indemnify themselves by extending their commute Earl TALBOT said, that in the first plane there was not the slightest necessity for this 11140111 T• ; and, in the second place, one were it desirable in any point of view, its effects upon what should be our meat cherished interest would be so deeply injurious that it ought never to have been enter tabled by the legislature. That the D 111•0•8 best acquainted with the real nature of the ease denied the maintenance of the present law, was manifest from the great bulk of the tes timony before their lordships' committee, and from the ex ceedingly important petitions which had been presented from the most influentially commercial quarters against it—petitions presented in the most nastitutional way he had ever known. The Earl of WALDEGRAVE next addressed the house, bat in so low a tone of voice that zone of his observations reached the gallery. The Earl of HARROWBY said that befere he addressed I their lordships on the subject before the how, he wished to say a few words in referee oe to the observations of his noble and learned friend respecting an hon. friend of his, a member of the other house of parliament, whose chanc ier had been alluded to lost night by his noble and learned friguL The charge brought against the hon. member for Liverpool (Mr. Cardwell) by his noble friend was, that he hod mud ineousisteotly with the pledge he made to the electors of Liverpool in voting for the repeal of the naviga dot laws. His noble and learned friend was mil taken in supposing that any such pledge was made. The noble lord here referred to the eircumstanees attend fig the late election for Liverpool, and quoted some doou. seats from which it appeared that hie. Cardwell stated that he would not vote for any measure which he thought would injuriously affect the maritime and *seal supremacy of this country, that he would wait for the result of the committee which was sitting on the subject of the naviga tion laws, and that he should consider himself perfectly free and unfettered as to the course he should pursue id reference to their repeal. Upon this state of facts he was sure their lordships would acquit the hon. gentleman of the charge which hie noble and learned friend brought against hiss. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the question before the house, he felt all the difficulty of engaging their lordships' attention upon a sub ject which had been already so much diecurel. Before he had the honour bf a seat in their lordships' house he had given • vote in the other house of parliament for the appointment of • committee to consider the subject of the navigation laws, for he confessed he was not so bigoted to the navigation laws as they stood as to think that it might not be advisable, after the lapse of time, when the circumstances of the eountry and its position in relation to other nations had ellimeged, to introduce a measure of this nature. The question was whether this was a measure dangerous to their naval an premacy, and whether, without the aid of these laws, they Gould maintain that supremacy • bonnie if that supremacy could not be maintained without them, they must so far abandon the principle of free trade. A great quantity of statistics had been brought forward to show that the repeal of the navigation laws would not affect their supremacy at sea, but the way in which these statistics had been pre eared tended rather to Munn than to throw light ea the question at issue. The statistics to which he ref,rred had been got up by a panties ro = omested with the Board of Trade, with whom he was on terms of private intercourse, but of whose returns on this subject • sense of public duty compelled him to say what bethought. (Hear, hear.) In the first place, any preen who read then papers must see that they were produced for the purpose of operating on the public mind in regard to this question. These returns had reference to the results of the free trade measures of the last few years, with regard to that part of their trade which was now practically unpro tected. But they were produced not on a question of trade, but on • question of navigation. Now, if they were not valuable as a guide upon a question of navigation they should not have been produced at all. (Hear.) A large mass of figures had been produced under the bud of unprotected trade to show that they could, as appeared from the experience of the last few years, engage without danger in competition with all the nations et the world • bat on looking closely into the subject is was found that oithis nominally unprotected trade the larger portion was practically protected, and that there was not that free and open intercourse which alone was the question at issue. (Hear, hen.) The tonnage of England was rated at 656,000 tons, whilst that of France was only 262,000. But there wss no note appended—nothing what ever to indicate to them that this superiority of England was owing to steam-boat navigation—that it comprehended the vast variety of steam-vowels which made constant and re peated passages scrose the Channel. (Hear, bear.) New, this could not be called an increase in the tonn age of going ve ssels , vessels, although that was the impreseion which teen papers would create in their lordships' minds. (Hear, hear.) It would be just as fair to say that the travelling by coaches in this country had greatly increased in consequence of railroads because a great number of cabs were con stantly going to and returning from Boston-square. (Hear.) Yet this representation had produced its effect on the public mind, and even in their lordships' house, because noble lords en the other side had repeatedly referred to this in. crease of the unprotected trade, as exhibited in Mr. Porter's tables, whereas the fact was that they had no bearing what ever on the satinet. (Hear.) They were also told that there was a great in the open trade with the United States ; but they were never told that if they examined the subject, the increase of the vessels of the United States was still greater. (Cheers.) They were told that the British tonnege engaged in the open unprotected trade with the United States amounted, in 1846, to 811,000 tons. Thou who were acquainted with the intercourse between the two countries must have been startled at such a stethment. Here, again, it was found on inquiry that this amount of tonnage was made up much in the same way as the tonnage between this country and the countries on the other side of the channel, namely, of the repeated voyages of steam vessels between this country and America, and also the steam-boat communication between the United States and Canada through the lakes. He did not mesa to impute to Mr. Porter any other design in making these representations than that which led an individual, who was an enthusiast in any cause, to hazard extraordinary assertions in sup port of it. (Hear, hear.) These tables, then, had no bearing on the question before the house. If the bill were passed, the vessels of this country would, by the first of Sao. next, be brought into immediate competition with those of every other country in the world ; and he did not know how it was possible by that period to obtain equi valent advantage , . The very attempt to obtain such advan tages would involve this country in that commercial warfare, irritation, and ill blood, which had been so strongly de nounced by noble lords opposite. (Hear, hear.) He saw here one element of the squabbling and the evasion which were always practised when nations strove to " keep the word of promise to the ear, and break it to the hope." He fully admitted the difficulties which surrounded the case as regarded the colonies, and that was the only question which had caused him the least hesitation on the sub s jest. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the West Indian colonies , it was natural that their annoyance at the abolition of their own privileges should have led them at first to demand the repeal of the navigation laws. But one after another, the West Indian colonise had disappeared from the scene—(mmar, bear)—and he had that evening seen a petition from a body of colonists, who stated that the repeal of the navigation laws would be to them anything but • boon. It was =pueblo to deny the importance of con ciliating Canada, a colony which was adjacent to the United States, and which, by a recent change of imperial policy, for which it was unprepared, had lost what could not be denied to be great advantages, It was, however, admitted by his noble friend opposite that the grievance of Canada might be redressed by other means than the repeal of the Ravi. laws. (Hear.) Looking at the question as one which Sailors free trade, the defences of the country, and there fore its vmy existence, he could not be a party to the repeal of the navigation laws ; and he must, therefor*, support the amendment of his noble friend. Lord BROUGHAM wished toexplain, in consequence of the observations of his noble friend, that he had not in tended to make an attack on Mr. Cardwell any more than upon his excellent and valued friend, Sir Junes Graham, who made a speech on the same side of the question. Sir Thomas Brucker proposed Mr. Cardwell, and Mr. Bram well Moore, the present mayor of Liverpool, secoeded him. The latter gentleman, on being called upon to defend him selthaftfohrebahvlndg ai seezi r ded be M en r. u C n a d r e d r w th ell e , told th e town council Cardwell was opposed to the repeal of the prin ciple of the navigation laws, and he quoted from one of Mr. Cardwell's speeches a outage to this effect : "Do you roe by whom lam surrounded t On my left Mr. Bramwell Moore, my seconder, on my right the chairman of the shipowners' association. Do you think I should be so surrounded and so supported if I were against the principle of the navigation laws I' It was good to leave well alone • it was not bad to leave alone, for fear it should be made worse. (Laughter.) Lord WHARNCLIFFE said the attempt bad been made to show, by means of evidence given before their lordships' committee, that there was no neces sary connexion between the prosperity of the mercan tile marine and that of the royal navy ; but one able and experienced officer was the only witness who supported that view and in opposition to that officer's statement that his experience had led him to the belief that not more than 6 per nat. of the men in the navy were derived from the mercantile marine, was to be set the testimony of the Registrar-General, that half of the entire number were obtained from that source (Hear, hear.) All the champs recently made had been necessitated fry other changes which had formerly taken place, and by circum stances, in spite of and beyond our control . i (Hear, hen.) In 1663 our laws were then so restrictive that the entire trade of our colonies, of which we had then • considerable number, was confined to their own coasting trade; but this could not be enforced, in spite of the most prohibitory re gulations. When, • bundled years after, in 1766, the navi gation laws were pasted, we were then compelled to relax the former restrictions, not for the interest of the colonies, but because circumstances oompelled the change. Subse quent alteratioes were forced upon us by the revolt of OW American colonies ; and in these, as well as in the more recent changes of 1818, 1820, and 1821, instead of this country adopting a uniform principle of action, and gradually relaxing restrictions u occasion arose, she had been driven by the necessities of the cue, and had acted in obedience to circumstances which could not be con trolled. By this means the navigation laws, ori entity a complete and effective prohibition of all intercourse between the dependencies of this country and other coun tie, were so modified that they no longer produced that effect. The result of successive alterations was that they were complicated beyond all comparison. (Hear, hear.) It was worth while for any the, simply out of curiosity, to east his eye over the various statutes that had been pawed. They involved such a series of complications and contradictions that it was almost impossible for any one who had not paved his whole life in legal or mercantile pursuits to Ilitettaiatb.

Batty real and essential question for their lordships to an , eider was, whether in repealing what remained of these snit:titre laws they dtorld withdraw from Ma 4 4 maintained the navel system of this coa s t ' , , a , s upport which was necessary to enable th eee 7 keep up their competition with foreign eaub C Let us inquire what was the opinion of fo r .i a 7„' themselves as to their ability to compete with in the event of our navigation laws being repealed?)nth answers which had been given by the consuls in Tot em , . counties to the inquiries made by the Secretary of ante h . Foreign Affair., he found that the Belgian minion fx pressed his belief that their vessels could not possibly use. ' pete with ones. With regard to America, there were th„ minuteness which led to the conclusion that there wes ss reasonable doubt of our ships being able to compete those of that country. It was unquestionable that ensile* every item, except that of timber, the American ship. builder had to pay dearer than the English ship bona 4. and even the timber itself was only obtainable cheep'? some of the Anis-icon ports. Another important feet ajo k regard to the northern countries of Europa was this, flat though they bad the power of building vessels mask Mug. t than us, the greater part of thou built in Sweden andEse. way were built expressly for the their trade, and were ea . fit for anything else. But this was not the first tine Ihst vaticinations of ruin to our manufactures and m e . merce had been made; on other questions, precisely is same assurances of the impossibility of our competing yak foreign nations had been made ; and they had unifonaiy m ceived a complete falaification. At one time the linen Ode of Ireland was protected and encouraged by bounties; nits these bounties were removed, nothing less than rain to th trade was anticipated ; but since that time the flex-greing and linenemanufacturiog districts of Ireland had Moo shee t the most prosperous. Again, when the bounty was bi n off the export of what were called long wools, it was mid the trade would be thrown entirely into the hands of t e r e t gam; but notwithstanding the alteration our own trade had gem en increasing. In 1824 the same predictions were made h reference to the silk manufacture ; it was said that ley ea witting French silks we should completely destroy caress trade, and that it was impossible for our manufacturers h compete racoessfolly with those of France. What been the result? In 1823, the year before the deem the raw silk imported into this country for ea, sumption was only about 2,400,000 lbs., what 1847 it was 44 millisns. The value of the silk mandss noes actually exported from this country was, la no, 529,0002. declared value ; while in 1847, notwith;tandiar neat decrease in the value of the article, it was 948,0 M Finding that such had been the result of all these gloomy predictions, their lordships would be justified in disregard* them, Hon in treating them as absolu•ely false. (Ha, bear.) If there was one feature in the question mm hapertant than another, it was the effect of the reciprocity trudge. Before the opponents of those treaties could saki a mu against them, they must show ant only des there war a decline in our shipping trade at t a i dna they were concluded, but that that trade would her been more fl turishing if they had not been entered inn TM noble lord having read a statement of the amain el British tonnage in the ten years previous to the recipreeity treaties, and ten years subsequently, said it was quite dew that whatever effect the navigation laws might have lei - before those treaties were concluded, the same causes would have produced the same effect after they were concluded There had been a constant and gradual increase in the an. I potion of this country; and the fair presumption was, the if they relaxed the system still further, they would my still further advantages from it. Looking to the estate our colonial empire, and to the unbounded extent of co commercial relations, he considered that they were bound te remove all restrictions but those which were essential to the satiated prosperity. (Hear. hear.) And even with Teri to thou, be considered it a sufficient num to relax then that they were found vexatious and more prohibitory ties was necessary. They were not only justified, hutealb upon, by every feeling of justice and policy. to remove unto restrictions, and upon that ground he supported fu se bil l t ar lhe point in it on which he felt the greatest culty vi du 10th clause, empowering her Majesty to restrict the tto otiose of foreign ships in certain muses. He saw an objects to that course, and thought that an easier one ntightte adopted ; but he did not on that account esnoider hued justified in opposing the bill. Looking to the despatch d Lord Palmerston cf the 22nd of December, in the papers In before them, he took it for granted that her Mmesey's cs vernment would see that in relaxing the navigation lamb the benefit of foreign shipping the same advantages wash be secured to this country. Although not satisfied with tb tint alteration in the 10th clause, yet, with the soli I = ec he felt in the intention with which it had ben inserted, he should, at this stage, give his support to the ?site He again entreated their lordships to watch narrowly all the bearings of the proposition which by thbgtage of the bill they were now called on to affirm ; and whilst' they regarded it. a great experimental measure, the necessity for which be was not prepared to say could be altogether disproved—te remember that it was one, in the peculiar operation of whin the welfare and stability of British interests of the mast e• Undoes and important character were deeply involved. Pe . the reason, however, he had assigned, he felt himself bound to vote for the second rading. (Cries d " Question.") The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was reluctant to is terra» between the house and those noble lords who meld, , doubtless, address it on the general character and the detail e of the measure to which their lordships were now asked ts : give a second reading. He felt, however, that independently of the impressions at which hie own mind had arrived, be owed it to those vast and most important interests in the north of England from whom he had received deputaiket on this subject, as one that most deeply affected their pen perity, to enter his protest against this bill. tile's an flits for an experiment, as he must call it, which put in jeopardy r the invaluable sources of our mercantile greatness and tie future existence of that naval nursery from whom we isi long been accustomed to draw chiefly the gallant crew ; which manned our fighting shim—when so many teat tries of Europe were in that condition of political to r quiet and turbulence, the result of which no sue cote c venture to foretell—when Ireland was in her pout fearful Mate of poverty and disburbance—when at loss even, there was so much to excite solicitude and alarm. , Earl OBEY said that in rising to enforce upon the hoot s to the best of his ability, the importance of the mesas which was now before it, and of which he was a supporta he would endeavour, as briefly as he could, and coresident the lateness of the hour, to set before their lordships* (Muds on which this measure was founded.
