He did not wish to-enter into the subject at the present moment, but he could assure the N.,ble Lord, that very great anfety On this qoestion existed in the minds of the Peddle at large o particulsrly in the City of London : and that so lentos this was the case, Petitions of a similar nature to these now presented woold'flo* briintill* table of the House woold be co= tiered with thetti. l'heEarl of LIVERVOOL stid;iliat he had no ob jection-to " satisfy the*Noble Earl on this point, anl at the sameitim• he considered it his duty, as it was con sistent with his feeling., without meaning to trouble the House at any length, to - give some explanation relative to this important subject. Their Lordships were aware, that the last time it was discussed was in the year 1822 ; at that period it was thought fit to continue the system that had been adopted in the year 1815 ; but an altera tion was recommended by a Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, and in consequence of a theisige froin their Lordships, that Report had been laid on their table. If they referred to it they Would see what further alterations in the Corn Laws were at that time Contemplated. He had no Objection to state in public What he had frequently stated in private, that though in his opinion some alteration in the general system of the torn Laws was necessary, he would not say that the alteration should be proposed this Session. He said this because it was probable that next Session, that great and important question would be taken in all its bearings, and because inquiry would be neces sary to place the subject on true and solid grounds be fore commencing the work of legislation. No one knew the difficulties of the question better than his Noble Friend, to whom he was now replying. If any uncertainty remained in the matter, their Lordships table would be covered with Petitions in favour of an altetation in the Corn Laws, with a view to lower the price of corn, and also With Petitions from the large body of agriculturists, or a contrary tendency. States- Men could not conceal from themselves, that although it was clear that all interests were combined, and that what was good for the one would be good for the other, yet it would alwayi be felt by one interest as an impor tant point to prevent the price of corn from falling too low, and by manufacturers to lower it. Under these difficult circumstances, a Statesman mast endeavder to discharge his duty impartially between those COO-. ftcting interests. He had heard much of doctrines re- , hating to a free trade; and no man was mote in favour of a free. trade than he was, or more disposed to .pro-, mote the measure now in progress to do- away prohibi tory 'ditties ; bet thitie was tfifs 'difference between this and all Other eases: dritin the 'latter, If a pretectine duty were felt to' he necessary , there was nothing to do', but to ccinriderviltat ft Might to be, - by taking a view of, the high and 101 l prides, and waiting till they had found their lest!. But it was not therame with respect to the' corn trade. It was 'obvious that periods of time might arise, when it would - be Impossible to 'adhere to any protecting duty, such as 'periods of thitatetted tcareity or famine. The's:tithe principle therefore could not be adopted in that 'trade, as in other branches 'of produce or mantifectores; such as woollens, iron, copper,&c. This was *difficulty which belonged tow other question. As to Ahriftuation in which we stood under the present law, - he *as 'satisfied that the system Must be revised, and that :carte alteration' must he made. Their 'Lordships were perhaps riot 'aware that the price 61 'corn in this country 'was now double that in all Eturope. It was; Therefore clear that die 'protection price, which was necessary in_ NIB to assure a 'fair prctfit 'to Briri.h Agriculturists, was no ledger fetish-ed. fie 'should not discharge : his' dtuty properly if ire gave' any opinion at present on - what should - be done,When he ttated - that dreArubject ihould only 'be taken op in a furore Session. But having - diewn the difference which Carotid between the Corn Trade and all - other 'branches of "trade, he 'would siMpty throw Odt, fordie consideration of the Hbtrie, the •diffecent prini,ipres 'on *which. they 'Omni(' have tO4St when the time for acting should -come. It was impossible to adhere to she present• system, when the *mount Of taxation *ages of ' labour were so diTerent from s'vharlifey were *hen 'it WAs,estab fished, and to - retain .80s. as the legal, protecting, price. But how to proceed was a matter of difficulty. There were three courses open to Parliament. Either they must maintain the present system, and only alter the amount Oldie importation price; or they must adopt the recommendationolthe Committee of .1422, change the system . altogether, and impose protecting duties with a Maximum beyond which importation must be allowed,Xtxl'a fisinitrfutt below which it must be per mitted. The third course would be to establish a gene ral protecting duty, end to get rid both of averages and 'of maximums and minimums. Bat :his could not be done without lodging in Parliament a discretionary power of deciding, in cases of scarcity, whither that protection ought to continue or to be . stisperided. It was necessary to consider all these difficulties before a dif ferent system should be adopted; but whatever should be those differences, he had rio hesitationin saying that it was iMt intended to. make any alteration is the general system of the Corn Laws during the present Session.— At the :line time, however, a special measure would be introduced in another place, which would not p.e judicr, but rather facilitate the settlement of iirt quee tiou in a futute Sessims. This measure involved th question of the Bonded Coro, which had been rind w. now in the warehouses of this country. and related tcf the Admisvion of Canadian Corn. Whatever might its is.ne did nit exci:e the jealousy of home agriculture, u they felt on the contrary, that if it prevented a considerable rho in the price of corn, it winald also prevent the introduction of fo reign COM. Cotiddiering'ill that had passed, and the strong feeling *hldb bnisted'uptin the subject, be had tholight it his duty not to P 6,tiawa I;Am4.lm.maa. 11611111111 answer a general question without entering iutu some details, as he was anxious to put the House in possession of his own mind and feelings on the matter, at the same time that he was unwilling to anticipate anything which, after proper inquiry in another Sess:on, it might be considered necessary should be done. The M oquis of LANSDOWN should have to morrow a Petition of great importance to present to their Lord-hips—the Petition of the Merchants of Lon- . don. pr.s y ng for a revision and alteration of the ezisting systtm of Co' n L tws. He agreed with the Noble Earl, that it o o•ild be most inconvenient, if not impossible, to enter into such an undertaking in the course of the present Session; and was equally cf opinion with him, after the most mature r. flection, that it was impossible the present system of Corn Laws should be continued. He conceived that it was through the principle of a fired duty that Parliament ought to look for that protection to which Corn-growers were entitled. He also felt with the Noble Earl the difficulty of retain ing a protecting duty 'in time of scarcity, but was confident that it such a duty were adopted on proper grounds, it would be the thing most likely to pre vent the recurrence of scarcity. It would he the mode least liable to objection, and the best approxi. motion to the best system which could be established. He did not consider Parliament to be as yet in a state to de ermine what that duty ought to be. The average amount of the cost and price in this country, and on the Continent, must be ascertained, and must regulate the amount of the duty. He did not believe that sufficient information had yet been acquired. ii fact, he thought that very erroneous information was obtained respecting the average cost and price of corn on the Continent, and the manner in which it was affected by circum stances, to form a solid ground work for a measure.— The attention both of his Majesty's Government and 'of Parliament, ought to directed inlegislating bersieen the two, parties, to prevent the scale from inclining too much to one side, lest it should occasion a re-action on, the other. He would rather keep the present system open, if it was fraud, than adopt one which should not bypermattent. Audit was obvious, that if too high a ;slice were fixed, such a clansiiur would be raised on the first symptoms of distress, that Parliament would be obliged to change it; whilst, on the other hand, if it were fixed too low, the country would be inundated with foreign corn, and not only the corn trade would be affected, but through ft all other interests, till Parliament would again be compelled to rates the price, and to engage in the evil of tem- porary iseislation. It loss necessary, therefore, to weigh well the pro ceedings which should be adopted, and to look to the revision team system on groutkls generally beneficial . to all the interests of the h empire, s an object which be did not despair of seeing attained. The Earl of LAUDERDALE expressed his grati tude for . ..pit .. .full and manly explanaion which the Noble Earl - load given. He should not utter his opi. lion at present on the different modes of proceeding which had been pointed Out ; but it ippetred to him that an arrangement was more likely to be performed now on reasonable terms than immediately after the ' peace. His Noble Friend had raid, that the price of seen on the Continent was double what it was in this toentrY. in 1815, Parliament bad been told that 80s. most be the minimum, and the complaint had been that the price of corn had never reached that minimum. The arrangements made at that time had been pre ceded by a most laborious investigation in both Houses, and yet many had thought that the subject had not been sufficiently examined, and had called for 'fresh in leery. He agreed in the extreme difficulty of making - an arrangement, but if information were necessary, bow was it to be obtained but by a Parliamentary in 14airy ? One, not only into the averages of the cost and ,price in this country, but in the various States of the Continent. The system of a protecting price having en dared, under various modifications, former, than a century, hewn il. .g to reject It all at once, without ample enquiry. It was ' important, that whatever was established shohld be per eanent, in order that both landlords and to should know how limy st ood. For the latter 'embarked their capital on the faith of the law for twenty-one years, and he doubted whether the change in the law might not be an act of isjustice towards them. The Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed with the two Noble Peers, that it was important to establish as per manent a system as possible, and no one could be a greater advocate for permanency on that *question than he was. But from their own statements it appeared thet:annbsolutely permanent system was impossible, because if Parliament were to consider what were the prices at which cora was grown in this country and abroad, nothing was more 'satiable than those consider. rations. The difference in the state of our taxation at present, from what it was in 1815 was not less than thirty wallas. With a taxation that might be brought again by War, though be certainly hoped that would net be the use, to moony mewl the seine regulations apply as when that tendon was beenghtiliown to forty millions? The poorest coun tries in the world, Preemie and Poland, were those which supplied most provisions, but when they bad grown into wealth and civiii. Cation, these means of 'supply would become less. The Noble Rag} agreed in the advantages of certainty, but was afraid that any pro. ceeding founded on an assumption of price, must lead to the awes. sity from time to titre of an alteration in the last. - Lord KING urged the propriety of coming to a de termination as soon as possible, as, it having been once declared that an alteration was to be made in the Corn Laws, all business and bargains would be sus pended till it was known how the matter Should be settled. He thought the question mild net be in better hands than those of the Government, who ought to come to an understanding of what're* for the interest of the agriculturist, and of the mercantile classes. lie feared that if the present laws continued, the ports would be open, and a large importation must take place ; whilst the evil might be prevented by a timely alteration, which wou:sl bnly admit a moderate supply. The Earl of ROSSLYN thought that nothing s cou'd be done without the fullest inquiry, and sifting the sub ject through all its branches, to the bottom. He agreed in the De cessity of making the system permanent, and considered continual changes the worst of evils. Lord CALTHORPE also supported the necessity cf Wry, and presented a Petition from the Chamber .f Commerce Of Birmingham, praying for the revision of the Com Laws. Earl DARNLEY though', that if the landed interest e injured, the manufacturers would also suffer, Immo they would lad that their best customers bad lost the power of pur chasing their articles.—The Petition was then laid on the table. • • • Till CATHOLIC CLAMS.
