r they could in 4lce is independent of foreign nations ander the occurrence of litany possible circurmtances. Do let the House look at mat the question really was. It was nothing more nor less than the landed gentlemen of England standing up to claim protection for their own interests.,-that was, high' prices and high rents. —The landed ' Gentlemen, who were the most wealthy, but not the most numerous class in the .country—was it for them to place themselves in such a :jive:ion who ought to be at the head of everything magnaniMons, and to sacrifice their own interests to the cause of their country and the general trod? Hi blushed for the class to which he belonged. It was said by some of these Gentlemen, that the interest of the national debt mini!), paid out cf the rents of the land. Was no part of the national debt paid by the accutriula. t=on of stock. and by the arm of the labourer, whose industry was his capital? Ti.e absurdities into which these (lender/ten fell when they talked upon the subject would really excite pity.

Mr. HOLM II SUMNER complained that the country Gentia n. x were exceedingly ill-treated by his Majesty's Government. ht bawling in a state otuncertainty as to the law. lewas utterly inersodMe that any agreements shined be entered into between ben/leirds and their tenants with the declared opinions of the presi dent of the Nerd of Trade. The ilonoorable Member for Bridge north thought it absurd to apply the principles of free trade to atiwrithings and net to corn. He ( Mr. H. Sumner) could not but look with apprehensive to the principles of free trade on , very pallet where they had hitherto been applied ; but he looked upon them as fraught with irretrievable rain if they were apptied'to agri culture. If the law were altered. it would have the erect of con vening the lei& of Great Britain. which at present resembled a f ardes. into a perfect waste. If the Government could remove the it.ooo,o=l of land tea, the 1,000,0001. of poor -rates, ind ether bunk= which peculiarly mewed upon the land, he bad no doubt the agriculturists of the country would be enabled to compete with any 4:cowry in Europe. Captain M A BRRLY said the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Husk's:on) had Rhea a pledge to the Howls that this "loathe should be considered nest year, but at the same dine be did not Maxim Mraselftehliged to Mil his pledge of last year, because the oirmenstaacea bed changed. Last year was net a proper time, be ano it was a time of prosperity ; and this year was equally unit, because it was a season of distress. The Right Hon. Gentleman tole. the House that the report of Mr. Jacob was net ready In time; but why bad it not been placed ito the table of the House? It was a little hard that be should now turn round, and allege, as a reason for delay. the want of that evidence which he might have had ready, if he had chosen it. Ile thought there could belittle danger to the agriculturist front an alteration of the law at the present snore/et ; and he trusted the House would cheap the system, which, in his conscience, he believed to be a severe check on the stational prosperity. • . Mr. II USK !SSG?: said the Report of Mr. Jacob, and the valu. ab Appendis. he had perused the moment the moment they came to his hands, and so time was lost in preparing to lay them on the table of the House. One word with respect to what had be= 'eased by the /I= Gentleman (Captain blaberly): he (Mr. Huslasson) had ne4er swigged the prosperity of last year as a reason for met going intn this question: on the contrary, be bad said that the Fo reign Exchanges were in a state to call for the attention of those sw arms by whose operations they were inilosneed; and he bad ex. fretted any thing bat so =Simi that that state of Mop could be permanent; neither had he said any thing of the distress of the country preeloding the coneidetatioo of the subject.

Mr. thinness, in a very able speech, pointed out the inexpediency of agitating the question at the latter end of the last Session of Par. Uament, but said Ministers would take it up next Session.
