Auchie and tubers," Mr. Adim and Mr. Alan were heard ter the Appellants.—Further Marling on Monday. The Earl of LIVERPOOL laid upon the Table the second Re port of the Commissioners under the Scoti Judicature Act, which was ordered to be printed. Lord Wellingtou`s Annuity Bill was read a second time and conunitted for Monday. • CORN DISTILLATION PROHIBITION BILL. Lord GRENVILLE, after ieveral observations on the Bill, said; that as the Learned Judges we present in consequetice of the order of y esterdav should move to put a question to them. The 'of his Lordship's question was to know whether Bill tame under the provisions of the Act of dr of George the Third, it containing clauses different from the Bill of which it professed to be a coon, tion, and the other bill having, in point of fact, The Earl of LIVERPOOL suge-ested ti piety of withdrawing a part of the proposed tion, to which Lord GRENVILLE assented. • . The Earl of LAUDERDALE spoke in favour .of putting the question. Lotd REDESDALE opposed it as unnecessary ; his Lordship not seeing ground forany serious doubts on the subject. Lord ELDON said he had an opinion on the sub ject, but should not just then deliver it. Lord GRENVILLE said a few words in reply, when a division taking place, the numbers were on ~the motion for putting the question—Contents 23—.' I Non-contents 39. When the door was re-opened, we found Lord GRENVILLE expressing the surprise that he and other Noble Lords had fele at the recent division, as he was. led to suppose, from the conduct of the Secretary of State, that his motion would pas , .. He pointed out in strong terms the expediency of putting the question Fto the Judges in consequence of the doubts which existed as to the nature and efficacy of the present Bill, in the minds or Noble and Learned Lords,— He stated his determination to try the effect of ano ther question on the same subject, and begged the Noble Lord on the Woolsack to act in the present instance on the same principles on which he had re sisted the Reversion Bill. The Noble Lord had ob jected to that Bill (which objections he approved Of, though he should have voted for the object of the Bill), because it went to make a mere act of suspen sion an act of perpetuity. What then could the No ble Lord think of the absurdity, the opposition to common sense and reason, Of voting to continue that which had no existence ? It was, in fact, a revival, and not a continuation, two things completely diffe rent, and even opposite ; as the first assumed the non-existence, and the latter the existence, of that hich was to be revived or continued. Could the Noble and Learned Lord contend, that the alters-- don in the present Bill, in favour of the corn growers in Ireland, was not a most material alteration in the Bill ? He concluded by moving a second question to be put to the Judges, to the same effect as the for. mer one, but stated generally,' and not as applicable. merely to the particular Bill. • Lord REDESDALE spoke at some length in op. position to the putting any question to the Judges on , this subject, on which he entertained no doubt. He Cited precedents in the reigns of Charles the First and' others, for the use of the word " continue," in the sense of the word " revive," and contended, that -though in common parlance we did not so understand the word, yet there were sufficient grounds for giving to it a sort of parliamentary acceptation. He objected to questions being put to the Judges, unless there 'were serious arid grave doubts to be solved, which was by no means the case in the present instance. Lord ELL ENBO ROUGH delivered his sentiments in favour of putting the proposed question to the Judges. His Lordship censured the retrospective view which it was intender the Bill should have, by dating its operations from the day of the expiration of the• former Bill. He contended. that the Bill ought to be a Bill to revive, and not to continue, although there might be some cases of a similar kind adduced as pre . cedents. He expressed his great surprize at the result of the division, having entertained no doubt of the question being agreed to. Earl GREY strenuously supported the motion, and remarked on the strong proofs given of the existence of the "sincere and grave doubts which a Noble and Learned Lord had deemed so necessary to the putting a question. What stronger proof could be desired than the contrariety of the opinions held by the Learned and Nob:e Lords? That Noble and Learned Lord ( Redes dale) had said he had no doubts. He was a great au thority ; but there was the opinic.a of the. Lord Chief aii'ACUABLE LIBRARY of BOOKS and CHOICE WINES.

He instanced the case the Scotch Judicature Bill, and the contemptuous indifference with which their Lordships were treated in the omission to send them a Report on the part of the Commissioners, though one was sent by them to the House of Commons. In addition to many other instances of the improper treatment of that House by Ministers, let their Lordships look at the had not received sufficient papers and to form their judgment : they ,le Earl (Bathurst) that he had now that no evidence would be loss of time would create too !rach rid their Lordships submit in this pelled to legislate in the dark ? 'ed, found one branch of the CO. enough to them at present, and .. they might do as they pleased _ Lords. His Lordship then e tereckinto a detailed view of his objections to the Bill. They yearly Prohibitions were in tact more hurtful to those whose interests were afffited by them than a permanent prohibition, which would lead people at once to some other mode of employing their means. But, by the present system, they were kept in alter. !nate hope and disappointment. Year after year Mi nisters came to Parliament to prohibit one of the greatest sources of natiJnal we ilth, as their own in terests iendeie I such measures expedient; and now, -when all parts of the 'country in England and in Scotland, were anxious to tell their Lordships their complaints against the system of Ministers, the House was told there was no time to be lost, even fOr the sake of the valuable information contained in the Petitions of all those concerned in the agricultural in terests of the country. Was such a period as the 'present that which Ministers could select to excite discontent in the minds of the public ? On former occasions it was held out, that the necessity of the prohibition was so urgent, that it must extend uni versally through Great Britain and Irelan; all the community must labour under it; A poor consola tion at the beit ! GOD forbid that he should wish to extend the injury to Ireland It was an injury to England and to Scotland that he complained of—an injury that put great part of the agricultural means of this island under a proscription and ban !—This country, however, presented many modes of employ ing the means of private and public wealth, from the variety of her arts, manufactures, and pursuits. But in Ireland the case was very different. To cramp her agriculture was to affect nearly the whole of her means of wealth. It appeared, that the plan of Mi. nisters was to secure certain interests, hy making the prohibition permanent in this country, though they were afraid to do so in Ireland. But this measure was, in fact, an absolute violation of the Act of Union be tween Great Britain and Ireland. The object of the union of these two great nations was not mere form and name ; but it was to create reciprocal habits and identitrof views and interests. The spirit of that measure was violated by the Bill, by placing the corn growers of Ireland and Great Britain upon dif ferent footings. These Ministers continued to divide their interests, and in short to set them in direct op position to each other. But this was a violation of the letter of the compact, which said, that after the Union all prohibitions should cease of articles that were the growth of either island. Duties we might lay on according to circumstances, but the import was not to be prohibited, as this Bill prohibited it.— On the faith of those Articles of Union, the Irish surrendered their own independent Parliament, aria now Ministers came with shameless front to violate the stipulations of that bond which was sealed with the independence of Ireland. For what purpose were such stipulations made ? Why not have merely Tett such matters to the future discretion of Parliament ? No, not the magnanimity but the justice of England to the weaker country, Scotland; and, secondly, to the weaker country Ireland, were willing, substan tial, and inviolable securities for the preservation of their respective interests. Would Noble Lords be graatly surprised, :idler supporting such a miserable system of measures, if they were to hear that they were shaking the foundation of security for the Union with Ireland ? In other times than the present, his Lordship felt confident that such statements, and the important considerations which naturally arose out of them, would have ensured the rejection of the bill. But pow their Lordships were not even to be permit- . t 4 , to enlighten their judgments by asking the nisi ninkof the judges of England on a point concerning eeh - 0 even the Lord Chief Justice doubted. But lie felt,* surprise at all this ; for the conduct of Admi nistration was altogether such as to prepare him for evert thing that was impolitic. • Lord LIVERPOOL observed, that if the charges of the Noble Baron against his Majesty's Ministers in that. House, were not so freqeent, they might, per haps, be heard with more effect': but lot what might be the measure under discussion, the House was sure to hear from the Noble Baron the same strain of op position and imputation against Ministers, insomuch that he conceived his arguments had little weight with that- House, or with the country. With respect to the present measures, it was by no means new to their Lordships. It had frequently been discussed in the two preceding years, and the same principle sanc tioned by their Lordships' adoption. It was now only proposed to continue it preciselyon the same ground of expediency as before, namely, the high price of corn, and the necessity of guarding against scarcity in that necessary article of subsistence. When the same measure was discussed, on two former occa sions, the Noble Baron was present, and never spoke against it, although it had now his strongest opposi tion. The question to be considered was, merely whether it was expedient, under the existing state-of things, to- continue the Bill for another year ? He should not now enter into the policy of its former adoption. It was fully approved by Parliament then ; ' ]s_ _ !rvatims plesent—they had no ;es were documents on which -day, h e -trete ld by a Nobli le object evid eto call, and ther this ca l because the los . 012 48th i nience.
