V ~~ , I 'lr -T~~ ; .~, '' T "~`~'..' ~".~` . ' 'lrli;rl.llT777-'77 N o m e Lord, bemuse it was a direct departure front general principles. No good corn would be warehoused under this measure. Mr. CRIPPS, being a large agriculturist, bad taken pains to obtain the opinions of agriculfutiets; and he found none of than expecting any good from the measures of Parliament. Damaged corn, dried and warehoused; would suffer an incalculable loss from the operation.. He thought no relief could be found but in a protecting duty. . Sir E. KN ATCHBULL had found agriculturists, who were convinced that this measure would be productive of much good. lie asked what state the agriculturists would be in if they were to be thrown overboard by a Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Huse kinon) opposing the measure of the Noble Lord, his calkers.? Mr. WODEHOUSE expressed his determination not to leave the Noble Marquis in the lurch—(A laugh)—but to give him his support on this occasion. He had supported the measure in the Committee, not on general principles, but as fitting in the sin gular exigency in which ere were placed. lie could not bat agree with the Hon. Baronet (Sir E. KnatchbuU) in expressing his astonishment at the course adopted by the Right - Hon. Gen tfeman (Mr. Huskisson). He seemed to think the measure would fall heavily on the small farmer; but, in fact, the small fanners were those who had experienced the least of the pressure. Mr. BANKES did nut object to this measure on account of its deviation from -strict principle. Every Government, be thought, ought to have that tower of force within itself as to be abk to accommodate principle to the public good. No interest in this or any other country could have a greater claim to the aid of a Government than that which was Buffeting. The ware housing of corn would prevent an excess of price. He did not mean to say that the proposition bad his entire approbation. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose to explain. He was desirous of not being misunderstood, and he chose that par ticular moment in the discussion, after be bad heard the send n.ents of his valuable Colleagues. With regard to what had fallen from the Noble Lord behind him (Lord Cranborne), he begged to remind him that if he did not vote for his 'own mea sere, he would not leave him (the Marquis of Londonderry) in the lurch, but hirnself-qtlear, bear, and a laugh)—With all .deference to his good judgment, be could not propose in the House what he would nut vote for in the Committee. At all events, let the saddle be placed on the right bone--(A laugh). The proposition had been supported in a very tame manner, and it he did not receive some more actual support—lf none of the pareutal feelings of a fathet for his offspring were shown from the Hon. Member for &amber (Mr. Irving) who originated it—he certainly should not press it upon the House, lfsving done his duty in making the proposition. 'use question, had noteing to do with good or bad harvests, which had been mixed up with it. It was about the markets, anderaenet alketed by the nature of the supply. Good or bad the corn emu* be consumed according to the principles of nature, and not of any abstract notions. MI the purchases were to be made after the price was etee and it was evident it would tend to mitigate the. rapidly rising' prices. He did not consider the measure would be inoperative in the present state of the markets, but be avowed that lie did not thick that much benefit was to be anticipated from it. Once more he begged to ay, that if the remaining ?Members of the Committee did not raise their voices to convince the House of the wisdom of their plan, he gave notice that he would not divide the House upon it—(llear, hear). Mr. IRVING said, that the reluctance and diffidence be al ways felt in addressing that I louse was his reason for not having . Picture presented himself to the Committee, and offered such rea ions as he had given for this measure in the Committee above stairs. lie still condoned to think the measure proper, and cal culated to be useful, notwithstanding that it had been treated as :absurd, and ridiculed so severely, by his Hon. and Learned Friend ( Mr. Ltougham) now in his eye. lie should be glad if his Hon. and Learned Friend had attended the Committee, and' there given his assistance in adopting or rejecting measures. His Hon. and Learned Friend was a Member as well as he. Ile (Mr. Irving) had had as many and as pressing avocations as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The lion. and Learned Gentle man never attended :he (Mr. Irving) did. He was constantly there. The lion. and Learned Gentleman professed himself anxious for relief to the agriculturists. Ile (Mr. Irving) shewed his anxiety by all the attention which, with his humble abilities, he could give the subject. Ile had not proposed this measure in ignorance of the just and true principles of political economy. It w 1.• some of many expedients,and he thought the least e xceptiottab*c. —lle was not litcte responsible fur it than the Committee. It was the ries.ure of the Committee, not his. With respect to the coq.ction that the Government 'would be losers, he had to re reark, that it Lad bze.n part of his plan that the corn should be aod Le of a certain weight; so that Government could Loc lose.by the quality of the stain. The more he examined the asure, the more he was satisfied with it.. No corn would be teteivro bet what was marketable. Another circumstance had beet: icft uut of view. The circulation had not been adequate to the usual transactions of the country. This measure was adopted with a view of supplying this deficiency. It would restore the market for a time to wilt it ought to be, and it might reason ably be expected that the market would continue so when there would be no particular pressure. These were the grounds on which be bad supported this measure. Not•vi.hstanding all he had !scud, the opinion which he had entertained he still enter tained. lk was confident It would afford relief, and that it c..uhl be carried into effect without injuring the prospects of future amelioration. Where three was a prospect of advantage without the possibility of disadvantage-, it was the duty of the House to give it effect. Mr. T. WILSON thought, that advancing money to assist in raising the price of corn, would have the effect of encou raging time culture of corn, and thus be highly serviceable in giving employment to the lower class of the agriculturists. It appeared to him that the sacrifice was so small, the advantage so great, that he thought in the midst of the calls made upon theta by the agriculturists, they ought not to hesitate to adopt it. The consequence of not taking some such steps would be to throw lands out of cultivation. Mr. DROUGII A 'el regretted extremely that he should by his conduct with reference to this Committee have laid himself open to the pathetic animadversions of the Honourable Member fur Bramber (Mr. Irving). He certainly ought, from the so- lemn calls of friendship, to have been present at the bringing fonb of the Honourable Member's project, and possibly he might, had he not been in four degrees of North latitude distant, at the time that he and the Coalmine were brooding over it.— lie was against sending such subjects as this to a Committee up stairs, even if they were to examine the question with that vigour said unity which was so completely the reverse of their practice. But, in his view, it was to Government they ought to look for relief in the circumstances of the country; and the Government that knew not bow to afford relief was unfit for its dety. He was most ready to give agricultural relief, but he couldnut think that the proposed experiment would succeed. A precedent, it was'nue, was afforded in the case of the manufacturer, but no deposit was then asked. It could only. have the effect of raising or keeping up the price; but that would be of no service to those who were in distress, as they had no produce to go to market with. The only advantage of the measure would be to advance money to the farmer at three per cent, instead of four, and thus save bins one per cent. Ile therefore, with all inclination to give the farmers even the semblance of relief, must say, that be thought this measure inconvenient and inefficacious,- and num disagree with many of his friends on the subject, with whom he was in the habit of concurring. Mr. HUSKISSON explained. The Hon. Members for Norfolk and Kent had been so kind as to read him a lecture, to which, with all deference, he was not .disposed to attend, an d be. would tell them why. In consequence of some observations which had been made relative to the motives of his (Mr. Husk's.' son's) attendance on the Committee, be had been induced, out of consideration to his character, to abstain from attending it. The Committee in his absence then brought forward a measure which was inconsistent with his known sentiments on the subject, and nailed upon him to support that measure. He begged leave to say that he would do no such thing. If he held his situation or his seat in that House upon any such tenure as that of following their recommendations, the sooner he gave them up the better. 'the Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that after what bad passed in the discussion, and as those with whom the Re solution originated had not supported it, he felt it his duty to move, that the Resolution should be withdrawn—(Hear, bear). The Resolution was accordingly withdrawn. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observed, that it would be neceteary for hint to nuke a statement, explaining the ergo. connected with the second Resolution, before the Com. entered into the question ; and as the time was now se thought it would be better to postpone the discussion to 3ItOUGHAM wished to know whether it was the rd's intention that the second Resolution should follow ,t the first ?—( A laugh).

Upwards of a hundred iientlemen, including the representa tives of the principal monied interest of the City, ;were present.

A deposit of £500,000 to be lodged In thu Bank of England in Exchequer Bills, within three days after the signature of the contract, and which will be returned to the Contractors on the completion of their first payment. The Annuity to be •ested in Trustees, to be named by the Treasury and the parties. An allowance for management to be glinted, at the rate of .C3CO per million, upon a capital calculated at twenty-five years purchase of the Annuity. The parties contracting will be required, by way of security for the performance of the engagement, to make advances on account of the said payments into the Exchequer, to the extent of five millions beyond the amount of the Annuity to be re ceived within the same time, before any part of it shall be placod at their disposal, except in the case of a Company possessing a capital tested in Government securities, and not liable to other claims, which capital will be considered as security to the extent .f its actual value.

Mr. PASCOE Garwrat.t. wished to know whether the whole was to be in one contract, or that it would be divid'ed? The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished it to be in one con tract; but, if the offer was not satisfactory, the Lords of the Treasury would have no objection to divide it. His Lordship added, that he wished it to., be distinctly understood that the contractors would have nothing to do with the chances or contingencies of the lives of the pensioners; but that the sums to be paid every 'year were to be according to the scale he bad read. - Mr. KEMBLII inquired if the five millions deposit was to be money ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH mum said, it might be paid in Exchequer Bills, Stock, or any species of Government securities, not having a lieu or claim upon it. He added, that no part of the annuity would be at the disposal of the Contractors, until the whole of the deposit was paid. Mr. ISAAC LYON GOI.D3MID wished to know, if a larger sum in annuities for five years than £450,000 might not be obtained by a larger deposit than five millions ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL was of opinion that it might; but this would be at the discretion of the Lords of the Treasury. After some other conversation, in which Mr, ROTHSCHILD, Mr. KEMELR, Mr. GOLDSSIID, and several other Gentlemen took a part, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that having stated the plan, he wished to have another preliminary Meeting, in order that Gentlemen, after duly con• sidering it, might offer any objections, or obtain any farther explanations they might deem necessary. If, therefore, it was convenient, he would fix Friday next for the second preliminary Meeting, when the plan should be considered as finally settled; and that' Tuesday' might be fixed for receiving the offers of the Contractors. On the suggestion of Mr. Rorrrscnltu, Friday next, at eleven o'clock; v►as fixed for the second meeting. The parties then separated. Our Readers will perceive, by the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, that the plan of Government turning pawnbroker, and lending money on grain, after being disowned by Ministers, scouted by the Opposition, and laughed at by everybody, has been withdrawn. What new expedient may be de vised for raising the price of grain we know not ; but these is some consolation in reflecting that no plan for such an object is likely to be successful. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Papers to the Ist instant. An article from Carls rhue states, that General WORONZOW bad passed through that city, and was proceeding with all speed to OJessa.--Vienna, April 23—Aletalliques 74 7-16; Bank Shat es 660 9-10. The French Papers of Saturday do not contain a single article of intelligence of the slightest interest, except the melancholy details of the destruction of property by incendiaries. " Conflagrations," says the Journal des DeLats, " continue to desolate the De partment of the Somme. On the 26th of April, they broke out in the Commune of Thois, and consumed nine houses ; and the next day, seventeen houses were burnt down in the Commune of Daours." A large village in the vicinity of Dreur, having been set on fire on the Ist instant, the Magistrates and the mili tary firemen of that city repaired to the spot, but scarcely had they began to assist the inhabitants when they were informed that another village, a few miles distant, was on fir.:. Forty houses were destroyed in the former before the devouring element could be subdued. In the villages of the Somme the houses are.covered with thatch, and built close together, so that a whole town is rapidly reduced to ashes, with out any possibility of stopping the ravage of the flames.

COMPLETION OF BLAKEsr.Ers This undertaking, to go on foot to Exeter an‘ll;;ck to 1.r.7.- don in six days, by a circuitous route, making 380 miles, was completed at half-past eleven o'clock, on Sunday nirht, by e , - traordinary perseverance, and it stands amongst the foremas: record. The pedestrian is a man of five feet six inches, a a..::• of Halifax, and 32 years of age. He finished half the di3: . four miles from Exeter, on Thursday evening at nine o'clock, 'a good condition, and proceeded eight miles in two hmrs on Lis journey back. He did his day's work, 61 miles, in abort 14 hours of travelling, and rested at short intervals. 1:a had 31 miles only to perform on Sunday, which was the mm: day's work. He started at two o'clock in the morning, r.:tber lame, which increased, 'and the match was won, throi,Lh great difficulties, in the last half hour of the time. DVELL—An affair likely to occupy the attention of the Co::—.s of Law occurred at a celebrated house at the West end of town on Friday night, and led to two meetings yesterday mon ing—the one at Chalk Farm between two Military Gentler:cr.; the other at Maswell hill , between a Civilian and an °fn.:el. In the first, both parties were slightly wounded at the first tire; and in the latter an accommodation took place, the Officer (Wb) was the offending party) firing the contents of his pistol in the air. The cause of quarrel was the loss of £3OOO, which, at one throw, changed masters ; but the fairness of the game W 3 warmly disputed, and is likely to be tried at Law, or referred t° the Jockey Club. A duel was fought at d:.;-break yesterday morning, on Old Oak Common, between two Gentlemen, of the names of L—Tr and B--v, in consequence of an altercation and challenge by the latter Gentleman, at the Opera, on Saturday , night.
