that Rouse treated circumstances of this kind with the utmost coolness. They said it was of no use toin terferes Things must find their level. That was as much as to declare, that if- no means at present ap peared by which the people. could . live in comfort, therefore none should be sought for, and all should be left to chance. . Notwithstanding that feeling, it might perhaps be shewn to a Committee, that means did exist by which the industry of the working classes could be rendered efficient, not only to support them selves, but to augment the revenue of the country, or to produce even a better effectthe diminution of taxation, by spreading it- over a larger surface.— For that reason it was that he wished to obtain a Se lect Committee. There was at present a portion of machinery which wholly escaped those burdens that were imposed on machinery of a different kind— that kind of machinery, one-half of which consisted of animal life: There was a machine called. a power loom," which machine, even now, as well as during the war, was met in competition by the simple loom the individual weaver; but with this great advan tage—that all the goods which the power-loom pro duced were : exempt from the drawback necessarily created by the consumption of those articles on whicli the weaver was compelled to exist, and on which he paid a heavy rate of taxation. As it was rather an :abstract question, how far the two species of ma chinery should be placed on a level, he wished to Lave a Committee to investigate it ; and to consider whether the capital of the poor man, which con sisted in the labour of his two hands, must bear the burden of taxation, since those articles, with out which be could not exist, were taxed ; while the large capital of the wealthy manufacturer, which he invested in a power-loom, was suffered to escape any contribution whatever to the Revenue. —He did not wish to do away machinery, from which incalculable benefit had been derived ; but he wished to sec whether the advantages which had been produced by it did not arise in a great degree from its being exempted from the consumption of articles which the pror weaver was obliged to use,' and on which heavy taxes were laid. It was a matter of se rious consideration whether capital, shut up . in ma chinery, should be useless to the Revenue—when, if it were not so shut up, it would, according to the laws of nature, be expended in animal labour. There was another point well worthy of consideration—he meant the laws relating to combination amongst the workin , classes. The wealthy part of the trading com munity possessed the means of combining, to an im measurable extent, for the purpose of depressing the wages of the labourer, while the operative manufac turer was liable to punishment if he attempted to raise them. There should certainly be no distinction of that kind between the wealthy and the indigent.— Another point to be considered was, whether some means ought not to be taken, by way of experiment, to try the practicability of removing some few of the working classes from avocations by the pursuit of which they could not obtain subsistence, and placing them in other situations where their industry might be useful and productive? When, however, indivi duals brought forward plans of this nature, they were generally refused a Committee to investigate them. They were laughed at, and treated as people of feel ing hearts, but of feeble understanding. This, he thought, was a very poor r ecompe ns e lor those who devoted their time to such praise-worthy objects.— Sir John Sinclair, Rowcroft, Owen, and Wills, were not perhaps the first names amongst the aristocracy of the country ; but they had considered how the situation of the people could be ameliorated, and were therefore entitled to respect's. They wished to rescue the people from that situation which was likely to make them bad subjects, and to sink them below the level of human nature. The endeavour that had been so long persisted in to undersell other mtikets had no other effect but to overwhelm every class of the community by a weight of Poors'-rates. Of the different plans which he had seen—and he had probably seen and examined more than the Right Honourable Gentleman, because his feelings had been more excited on the subject—he thought the application of public money for providing lands to those who could obtain no employment at their, looms, one of the best. If Exchequer Bills were so applied, instead of expending public money on canals, along which there was no commerce to pass, or on harbours frequented by no ships, the benefit would be greater and more obvious. Ample security could be given to Government by mortgage on the lands. 'The labourers thus employed would pay 10 or 12 per cent. and they would improve the Revenue by the consumption of Exciseable articles ; they would at the same time relieve other labourers at the looms, by increasing their einployment, and raising them from their present miserable and degraded level. He should reserve his opinions on other points-- opinions which were the result of much attention and time—for the ComMittee, who could more de- L'oerately consider the subject—( Hear, hear). — lie should now simply implore the House to con sider how far their conduct had been calculated to allay the unhappy spirit which was lamented in the speech from the throne. (Here the Hon. Member read extracts from the Speech and the Address). It appeared to him doubtful, whether it was econo mical or wise to rear barracks, raise additional troops, till up battalions, call forth Volunteers and Yeomanry corps at an enormous expense, as a means of allay. ing the spirit caused by distress. Not less than 4.:100,000 had been expended in this manner last year, as a reply to the cry of hunger and distress.— MI was not finding fault with this expenditure, for Ministers were responsible for the security of the State ; but it wou1:1 have been far more agreeable to him if this sum had been applied to the relief of the distressed—if that House and his Majesty's pater-, r.al Government had manifested a deep feeling foe. the distresses of the poor. Subscriptions had been raised for Germans and Portuguese ; relief had been given to French refugees and American. loyalists ; money had been lavished to embellish Henry the' Sevenths Chapel, which had better been left in the rat of antiquity than be covered with milkhan garnish ; money h a d b een even vote d f or irn i.ioving the city of Dublin. Those expenses struck him, nut as improper, but as hrjudicious—(Heat).- 11e submitted to the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo tat, if his ingenuity in Ending new subjects oftara :ion was not eihausted, whether it was not poisible to tax foreign cooks, French lacqueys, and Swiss por ters ? for it appeared from the Alien Bill that they were very numerous in this country. Another gross . anomaly was, that a great number who possessed much property in this country, lived out of the coun try and thus injured the industry And revenue of the enuntry. Others who had not much property lived in other countries, and drew pensions from this COUU try as half-pay Officers. Their income would not support them so well in this country, and it might be impolitic to prevent them from leaving it ; but relief to severe distress ought to be sought by risking even an impolitic measu re . Hi s object in making these observations was to submit to the attention of Parliament . sentiments which were circulated, can vassed, and felt elsewhere, especially in that part of the country from which he came. If he should not succeed in obtaining a Committee, he should at least have given Ministers an opportunity of explaining con duct,which appeared unintelligible. He respected Mi nisters, and some of them he had the honour of calling his friends ; but while he had a seat in that House he should tell them what he thought of their conduct. —Was it consistent with the harmony of - the uni verse that one class of men should want the neces saries of life, while another abounded in every luxury and superfluity? If the Right Hon. Gentleman be lieved in the existence of a SUPREME BEING, wise, powerful, and benevolent—if he had any feeling of humanity—if he possessed any part of the spirit of that religion which we all professed, be would ask whether it was consistent with his ideas of the grand attributes of the SUPREME Bet KG that'his moral go vernment of the world should suffer one man to sink below the state for which all men kid been intended, and another to rise higher almost than to be suscep tible of human feeling or rational enjoyment?— (/tar). There was no man but must feel a lively anxiety how long the institutions of this country were to remain. It was not to be disguised that the peo ple in all parts of Europe looked towards America and her institutions with sympathy, whilst they felt nothing but disgust at the expenses of their own Governments—(Loud cries of Hear, hear, hear). — Ile did not say that those expenses had not become necessary, but it was surely alarming to see taxation arrive at such an extent as to endanger the existence .of our institutions, both in Church and State. If it should be thought, that these were strong observa tions, he made them in order to shew what feelings he entertained in common with multitudes of others throughout the country. He was in a very different situation of' life from many who entertained those views, and his opinions might therefore be thought of less importance ; but be implored his Majesty's Ministers to consider what effects such sentiments must have upon those who were in the very extre mity of distress, and to whom it was I:ttle matter whether they were to live or die. The Hon. Gen tleman concluded by moving, "That a Select Com-., mittee be appointed to inquire into the nature of the distress of the Cotton-weavers, and the possibility of affording relief." Mr. F. ROBINSON said he was not partial to Par liamentary Reform of any kind, bat to none less than that which would make that House a rival of the College of Laputa. The subjects of discussion at that celebrated College did not exceed the variety of topics introduced by his Honourable Friend. One point to which his Friend bad adverted was, that the' subject of discussion was an abstract idea. Now it appeared to him, that a Committee was a very in. convenient instrument for developing an abstract idea—(A laugh).—The sources of taxation pointed out by his Honourable Friend seemed to him quite contrary to every intelligible principle, and to the practice of the country, as well as inadequate to any relief of the general distress. His Honourable Friend had indeed said, that the harmony of the universe was violated by the difference of property in different ranks—(" No," from Mr. Maavaell).—Then it was by the 'difference of rank—(" No," again, Irons Mr. Maxwell).—He was sorry to say, then, that it-was an abstract idea which he could not comprehend(A -laugh).—He was very sorry, also, that the Hon. Member's constituents entertained such views, and that he should have thought of 'such means of alle viating their distress. If such delusion existed, he must regret that his Honourable Friend should con tribute to its propagation. No practical good could .arise from the appointment of a Committee on these principles at any time; but he submitted to his Hon. Friend, whether he himself would press, at the end of June, for a Committee on an abstract idea, and new sources of taxation. He hoped that be (Mr. Maxwell) would be contented with having satisfied his own conscience and the wishes of his Constituents, and should now beg leave to move the previous question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER se conded the Amendment. Mr. RICARDO said, that he conceived the duty of Government to be, to give the greatest possible developement to industry. This they could do only by removing the obstacles which had been created. He complained therefore of Government on very dif ferent grounds from the Hon. Mover, for his com plaint was against the restrictions on trade, and other obstacles of that description, which opposed the de velopement of industry. The recomniendations of the Hon. Mover were inconsistent with the contrast 'between one class and another. If Government in ' terfered, they would do mischief and no good. They bad already interfered, and done mischief by the Poor-laws. The principles of the Hon. Mover would likewise violate the sacredness of property, which con stituted the great security of society. - Mr. LOCKHART said, that if certain Gentlemen had lost their fortunes by speculations to benefit the poor, it was an argument against their plans. A tax on absentees would only force them to withdraw their capital, as well as incomes, from the country. Sandy lams might be .Cultivated for 30s. an acre by spade-labour ; but this kind of soil was generally in .the neighbourhood of populous towns, mid therefore, if adopted, would throw out of employment some who were in it. If the House were to , grant such Committee as was now proposed, it would be hold ing out delusive hopes to ,tbe Cotton-weavers, and instigating othir classes of society to make applica tions to Parliament for similar relief. Mi. mAxwatt; after a sboit reply, postponed , his motion till the next Session. Mr. uoagouss withdrew his notice of motion relitise to lualleation of Proceedings in Courts of Justice, which stood Ix 6114th of July.

The company continued to arrive in throngs till half-past three, and Many came even after that time; but some of them at so late an hour, from a wish to avoid the heat and pressure, that they had the mortification of being disappointed of their wish to pay their dutiful an loyal respects to his MAJESTY. For this laudable purpose, great numbers had come to town from a considerable distance. The Horse and Foot Guards made a fine display, and their respective Bands delighted the genteel crowds assembled on the occasion with the performance of numerous loyal and patriotic tunes.
