From the Lord Mayor, Altiermep, and Common Council of the City of Loudon, to the same effect, against the Ball, and 'praylbg to be heard by their Counsel in support of their allega *m agtinst the,same. Lord GRENVILLE, Who presented this Petition, said he iboukt submit a motion relative to its prayer, ether to-morrow ;sr Friday. Marl STANI-10PE reminded his Noble Friend, that on to morrow their Ltsrd.hips were summoned on his motion. Some conservation on this point arose between thine Noble Lords and the Earl of LA UD Zit DA LL, which Seemed to terminate In an understanding that on the latter day the topic would be again brought before the Heine. The Earl of LIMERICK presented a Petition from the City of Limerick, in support- of the Corn ; and Viscount MONT JOY, one from the county of Dublin, to the same effect. A Petition lions the Merchants, Manufacturers. and others, of the town and neighbourhood of Birmingham, against the Corn Sill, was presented by Lord CA LT HO I Pt. All the foregoing documents were ordered to He on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a Petition upon a fubject, he said, of q different nature, and upon which, it the forms of the Houie admitted of it, numerous applications would have been brought fthward. He mesnt the subject of the pro. posed duty, which it appeared from the votes of the Commons, was intended on the windows of the warehouses of Manufac. tuners. A procedure of this nature was unjust, impolitic, and inhuman. The proposed duty was Imps% because unequal, as it made no distinction as to the amount of the windows, or the opulence of the Manufacturer; it was aho censurable because it would go greatly to deterioriate the health of the manufacturing labourers who were crowded together in large manufactories. Upon the whole, he wasted the Noble Lord opposite, and his financial colleague, would reconsider this duly, and endeavour to substitute :time other oh less injurious nature. The Noble Mar quis seemed to advert, in terms rather Of approbation, to the greater part of the other proposed new 'lases. the Peti tion was ordered to lie on the table. Contain additional accounts relative to the importation of Grain, were, on the motion of Earl GREY, ordered to be laid before the House. Several private Bills were brought up from the Commons, by , Mr. Be crte, Mr. ELLIOTT, and other Members, and read a irk tone. Those tapas the table • were forwarded in their respective stases. Their Lordoblps then proceeded to the principal Order of the Day, upon which the House were summated, and which respected _ THE CORN DILL The Earl of LIVERPOOL.-•The measure, of which he was about to propose the second reading. was one that he had most attentively considered during the coarse of the three last years; and could conscientiously add without the least particle of pre. judice ; for it ever there existed a question, either with ►eference to the opinions of persons with whom he was in the habit of agreeing on most topics, or ' with reference to his own•situation, on which he WAS fully divested of all prejudice, it was the very cities ' tion on which he had that.night the honour to address their Lordships. The first view of this very impor tant subject, which naturally preseptld itself, was the actual ,situition of the country, with respect to that perhaps most important of all considerations, its , agt Lolture. In that view this country Was different ' from many othsrs. In smaller states, both ancient and modern, and among the latter, the Republics of Holland, Venice, and Genoa, a different line of policy' wisely adopted; they depended fur their supply 'of .grni . e, on Insportadeno ftent'brser countries, as it was anspossible that sindistales sould look to agri- Culture as a. means of: wealth, or even supply .their domestic eousemptiont they therefore depended upon, commerce and manufactures as their only source of wealth and aggrandizement. But very different was the can with vespecr to countries of great territorial, extent, and having a population of ten, tivz.lve, 6f. taco, or twenty Millions to supply. Such countries could not possibly be &pendent upon others for an Particle of the first necessity, without the greatest pos sible risk. This codatry - sbbuld be, not only from ::st an ces, but from policy, not only 0 great ial, but a great agricnltural* country, and chi principle of its legialatem should be with a view tif the interests of both. The one should, on this ' aetolont.. be sacrificed to the other. He would come new to the general principle of the measure. With reepiet to the idea that-every. thing should be left to find its own level, if that principle Could apply equally to all btatiches of commerce, it may perhaps be a deti mot In policy. ' But they were to consider. that in I ' is ,istg fee Meet Britain - and Ireland, they wet; of now leglasting & rime 1 the existing state r,f things; the nature and effect of the numerous le gislative enactments already In force and operation, and they were called upon to apply the same prin ciple of legislation, as far as it could be done, to all. Almost every branch of their domestic commerce and manufacture, was more or less protected by law, as their cottons, silks, woollen, irons, and various other branches, against foreign competition. What were the effects but to encourage the employment of capi tal and the exertions of industry in all their branches; I therefore, with respect to those branches, which were not so protected, they but discouraged them ;—(Hear, hear) —and, in course, if it protected manufacture and not agricultit4lthit was it but to discourage egpiculture ? It s a curioue-circumstance that the i ation of cattle was prohibited, and yet they withheld protection to the growth of grain. With regard to a due consideration of the subject, they would have to look back to what the policy of the country was for near a century anterior to the year 1766. In that interval, the country not only grew enough of corn for its consumption, but was even an exporting country. Notwithstanding that, the country was progressively increasing in wealth, manufactures, commerce, and population. He must say, then, that if, during a period in which agriculture so grutly flourished, the country was so much improving, at the same time, in every other respect, similar conse quences were again to be confidently expected. With respect to the particular measure under consideration, and which went to extend somewhat of a due encou ragement and protection to agriculture, he was tho roughly convinced, that through its operation and effects, the price of bread would become lower than it would if no such measure was adopted ; it would have also the most salutary effect of bringing bread to an equal.and steady price. which would not only 'go to benefit the consumer, but to improve the Mend state of soeterr--Heor. hear), —because in its present state, a fluctuation from one extreme to the other, may frequently be attended with consequences the most injurious. Individual interest was the best security for an eventual adequate and regular supply ciao necessary an article ; and it was essential, there fore, that a due protection should be extended to agri_ epicure. or they inevitably should discourage it. In the year 1791, an important alteration was made in the Corn Laws, with respect to the importation, and in 1804, another—to the last, whtni a Member of their Lordships' House, he gave the best attention and support in his power ; but the then situation of Ireland, and the free intercourse between the corm tries, had materially altered the question from what it.was on the former occasion. And fr,:m the expe rience they had since of Ireland, he must say. that the most beneficial consequences were to be expected to the United Kingdom, from a due attention being paid to the improvement of agriculture in Ireland.— And the question in that view came to this, whether they would sacrifice a certain or an uncertain source of supply ? (Hear, hear).—Neither could the mea sure, as argued the other night, have the effect of lowering the rents in England, and raising them in Ireland ; but it would operate most beneficially to the consumers in both countries, and tend, upon the whole, to make the supply more certain ; and these he thought to be the great and primary consideration. Much had been said upon a former night, upon the point of fixing the price at 80s. and the authority and sentiments among the evidence largely referred to.— In such cases it was impossible it could be other. ' wise ; persons coming from different parts' of the country thought and inferred differently on these to• pies ; they even differed upon the simple point of the protection proper to be given per acre. These gra datioas of opinion were generally between 725. and 965. But for the last ten years, the average price was abdie 90s. ; and for the last 20 years above 80e, of 844. The price so much objected was therefore considerably lower than the average of the last, ten years, and during that period the price of bread was never so high as to be sensibly felt. By the best cal. culations he had seen, and from his own views of the subject, the price (when at 80s.) of the quartern loaf ought wise about Is. or ISd. No one part of the kingdom should be protected at the expence of the other; this was for the benefit of the consumers in both, and for protecting the whole against the injuri ous effects of foreign Importation—(Hear, hear.) — But Noble Lords opposite seemed to consider that 80s. still would be a minimum price ; bur this rate was not supported by one tittle of either fact or argu ment. From the experience they had already upon the subject —from what had been proved with respect to Ireland—from the salutary effects which the ape. ration of the present measure must have in its incite ment to agricultural exertions, when individuals were protected against foreign competition, it may be re garded as more likely to prove a maximum than a . minimum. price. This could be borne out by a view of the prices,•with reference to the importation for -the &Avers preceding 1791. in 1792, it was 842 —los.' under the importation price ; in 1799, itiS Is. 1794, 451 Bs, and it never rose to tint importa tion price till 1795, which was a year of great scarcity; from those and several subsequent calcula tions, his Lordship chewed, that fixing the imports.- Lion price was in no respect fixing a minimum. So far,from this, it was his firm belief, that by inducing Abe empleyment of capital in the ageiceltural line, it 'would in the event considerably lower the price of limed. With respect to the important consideration nUthe supposed effects of the measure upon the ma nufactering interests, he would first of-serve, that their did not depend so much upon the cheapness of , provisions as upon certain other considerations. In all great countries, where manufactuno; were esta blished, the prize of labour was high ; it was to the capital, and to the credit of this, that she was prin cipally indebted for her manufacturing prosperity. The cheapness of fuel, and the employment of ma ,chinery, were the next essential means, and it would be found, _hat in those parts where manufacturere -were 'statistics wit;lt the greatest success, that the prices or provisions were highs it was, upitis . ::thef. wholes, much more to the comfort and advantage of the labourer, that his wages should be high, than that provisions should be cheap. In France, of which it had been s a id, eith er i n reference to its mantilk.:- tures or ite agriculture, the advance in the prices of corn for a number of years were nearly in the same proportion as in England ; and this his Lordship il lustrated by various calculations. The next cc-nisi. deration was, the effect which the measure would have with respect to the supply of the Metropolis, and certainly none could be more important. But with respect' to its supply, London, whatever may be said, had several advantages over any of the pro. vincial towns. At the same time, the, Deices were frequently higher ; that might arise from the opera don of the assize, from the wheat generally consumed being of a finer or better quality. But, on the other hand, as would , appear from the papers upon the table, the prices were often lower in London ; it en joyed great adi , antages also from its port, with re spect to the importations, and he must contend it could not be Linty said, that the metropolis would be put to any special inconvenience from the op la• tion of the proposed law. Drawing towards' his con clusion, the Noble Earl argued with great force and effect, that in a consideration of such vital import ance as that which constituted so great a portion st the food of the people, it was essentially necessat the country would not depend upon the precariole and uncertain resource of foreign importation for a supply. That by affording a due protection and er.- couragernent to agriculture, the necessity of such recurrence would be soon done away ; that the prices of bread would eventually becoite cheaper , and in that important respect the interests of the consort, would be materially benefited. It was to its domestic resources the country was chiefly to 100 l for the foen dation of her grandeur, prosperity, aggrinifiaentet... and happiness. To these her foreign ariel Whin' ~ commerce bore but a slight comparison. as the oven: of the loss of our North American colonies cleat ; evinced, which. instead of detracting her genera) : terests, the country was seen to rise to a still degree of power, glory, vigotir, wealth, and t sources. and to the effectuation of those means soh'.‘ enabled her subsequently to support a contest of ua equalled length, exertion, and expenditure. Unger it. these impressions and convictions, which he feltro: powerfully, he would move that the bill now I., e ti aL their Lordships be reid a second time. The Earl of CARLISLE was firmly persuade. 7 that any measure tending to raise the price. of c orn would rats. the price of labcnr ; then there. w er e Nr _ sons w:io were not able to labour much, and th..se persons must be in want. It would affect ail chr.ses of labourers, from moat robust r.o the weakest ; and the lowest order, who had still some life left, tont whose power to work Oaf very I( eble, would be in 'volved in poverty and distress to sue:,a degree as be obliged to go upon the parlthes. Those persoes therefore, who might still be considered. as useful members of society, would become a lautthen upon the Public. He had his doubt whether; the Bill would produce the advantages proposed by it; and he even doubted whether it was wished or required by the majority of the agricultural people of the coun try. He had himself made particular enquiry on this subject ; he had askee4 those who lived on his estates in Yorkshire viti Cumberland, and he had not met a single mason lin any interference of the Legislature on.tkie subject of Corn. He a ccount e d for thus on the principle that the cheapness of grain would produce a corresponding rise of other agricul tural products. He knew this to be the tact from his own experience. Last year he sold wool for ibs. a stone s which some years before would only have feteita 75.; and had he kept that wool until the pre sent year, he could have got 38s. for it. The cau s e r of tlus was, that is consequence of the cheapness of . provisions, and the consequent low price of labour,. the manufactures increased, and the raw material of the woollen manufacture increased also. Earl FORTESCUE entertained great doubts o f this country being ever in danger of being inu.adated with cheap corn from France. He also doubted whe ther France could be considered an agriculttral country. At all events, the state of her .ot ;culture was fluctu sting and uncertain ; and h.: thou,;ht Parliament ought to pause before it adop:ed a men- • sure of this k n I, and wait to see the effect which im portation troni France %%Nis likely to produce Lord GRENVILLE said, .when he first under stood that this measure was intended tc be brought before the Legislature, and when he found it had been adopted by the Executive Government, the weght of whose support it was to ttceive—from that moment. and the short interval between the rnanifei tation of such an intention and the bringing forward the measure. he regretted that he was not able to give the subject that full consideration which it r.. quired, Os to obtain the additional evideace thit was .., .. 1 i 1 I I . •, ..., k e. 1 44 . .
