Sir H. PSnNEee, in a speech of great lenzth, called the atten tion of t'te House to the Report of the Commith e on the Cum Laws. The abject of that Committee, he observeii, was to pro pose for the adoption of Vie Kobe, such regobitiohs with regard to toe Corn Trade, as might increase the produce of grain in this country, and at the same time prevent those fluctuations of price which were so injorions to the lower elas es of society Within the last twenty-one ye :r+, nu less a sum than 58,01u,(X)01. had been paid to foreign countries for (torn, thus rendering us, to so great ;n extent, dependent on them fur the necess.:ry suppliei, and placing the country in a precarious situation, parii-olarty when en gage d iu walfaie. It was the opinion of the Coaimittee, however, that Were the capabilities of this country, amid particularly of Ireland, called forth, the growth of corn might be increased to a great ex- tent, and the necessity for importation might, in a great measure, cease. With this view, as being hest calculated to the encourage ment and steady progress of our domestic agriculture, they re commended, that a system of limited and restrained importation should be ralopted. adrustiu; to the iliff .! rut systems pursued with regard to the-torn tra'!c, they retold that in te7o, a law was pdcried to discourage importatinn; and the rolt•elitteUnk was, that fur one hundred years after that periai, toi-t country was an ex ortiog country, and the prices of grail' remaieed steady; while, oy the coswary system, pursued in 1773, of bonaties on importa tion, the country had ceased to export, and its imp rtatioes were constantly mereasing, accompanied' wit. great fluent:ohms of price. On these aromas, amid also from a consideric ion of the great olepre .•lation of the, value of the Collthlittee tecommended, that the price :it is hicli importation should c..numice, shoind be 105 per quarter and that whvil under tina price, the duty ray ;ttiVrOrtation should be I shillings. (In consulting, hoWever, ctitlf a Noble lam tl opposite, and lienriow various ophron ,he (Sir If P.) was inclined to prOpose )5.. as the price at whielj importation night commence, and a rate of duty at ts. per (porter %v!wat imported below that slim, gra:hially incteasiog, so that whet, the was Wis. theduty on import woold be ICls. For bailey, lie valield recommend the price when importation ought commence at 435. ; for oats, at 52i. ; and for rye, at 58s. -After urging a variety of considerations in suppnrt of this rho-, the If.nourable nai ()net movrd, that the Report of the Committee on tlw Corn Laws he re, ft rred to the consideration of a Committee of the whole House. Lord A. Ittritt,Tos thouukt it was too late in the Session to refer the , Remiotioos to the con•ideration of a Committee, and that it ‘s-suA be ?intik au to do, Viiryiug as they did 14.0;11 their olivhantl shape. He allow ca that it would be desirable, it it %veil , possible, for the - kingdum to he i. dependent of foreign supplies ; but thi s could be on:y effet.ted by the increase of the price of bread, it was not a result so much to be wi.hed.--Tie Noble Lord commeutfil at great lenctli on the evidence adduced in the Re port, asserting that it was at once inconsistent and interested. It had been said that the price of labour was not increased in the Fame o . 4:portion as rents ; but be could not see how this condition wa. to be 1)0- tered by rai , liog the price #ll corn. - He corichnied with il:0 Vi " That the Report be taLen into consideration this day three months."
