A MFAsii under the gallery, whose name wi c oole 'tier :pawn, took occa sion to ask the !tight Honorable .oenreeman, the President of the Board of Trade, whe thee in ceuseeinence of this measure, it was to be w ho that.the proposition would not he agr eed to. artier! it Went intended by an. Honorable . Member t' hyj i eg toward for, the appointment of a Committee to hviaire info the general distreeeed state of agriculture st• •:te the country.. sr. RQBINSON replied, that he could not foresee • irhat'mieht be the derision of the House upon the pro- Ylneition to which the Honourable Member had al • tided, but he thought it quite clear that the measure • he had in view, and which related merely to It•thermake of tikieg averages upon corn, could not in as; teifete ireasy degree - with the large and much more P.4••iurportant question of an inquiry with respect to the Cate of agriculture in the country. 'the Huse having resolved into the Committee, r. ROBINSON rose and said, that he thought he should beet diecharge his duty, and satisfy the judg ment of the House, by confining himself on this occa sion to the immediate point to which the resolution e): with which he propo s e d to conclude would refer, with =,eitt entering at all into the more important ques ;; ;• thetas to our agricultural distress. With respect to ' 4 ' , the averages, as taken heretofore, it was known that a .r :t r u...“ deal of intricacy and confusion prevailed upon ra• ..the subject of the laWs relating to those averages. "'I 11SC laws alluded to were the Acts of the 31st, 33d, ..'4llth, and 45th of his late Majesty. As to the latter, they bad for some time been repealed in practical opera. • Then with regard to the Acts of .1791 and 1)1;3, it was rather difficult, upon reference to the Act 1 •:-• 411791, to ascertain what the state of the law really 4: • etas. If the Committee should agree to the Resolu tion which he bad to submit,• it was his intention to propose a Bill for embodying all the useful prodvisditions ions ••••*e of the existing la w u p on this subject, with a fouuded upon the recommendution of the Committee ',fleet Session, before which evidence had appeared to ,hew the evils belonging to the present system. By that s ystem the average was taken in each of the 12 maritime districts, and from these, collectively, the cetera' average was fixed. But, to form the average • of each c . /.striet, the average was previously taken in e.r.b town of that district—that is, the total of the cdru sold in each town, as well as the total of the • p.-ice paid for such corn, and the one divided by the ether, eonetituted the average, awl the same division fisdu the corn and the price i n the a gg regate of those ) . towns, eoestituted the average of the district. Such e s a was the system by which, in dividing the total of t!'.e coru•by 11;e total of the prices in the 12 districts, feat the average of the kingdom was fixed. Thus the general average depended upon the average of each of the towns comprehended in each district, and ticularhence it elia.clear that . the price of corn , in a par town of any district, might have a very undue in flecnce,npon the general average. He proposed, there • f.e.e., to abolish the plan of taking the averages from t!te 12 maritime districts, and to substitute that of tal,ing them front nor We counties and towns tufts the !! roost average from the aggregate of the co rn sold In • IN: whole, divided by the total of the price paid for it. •••:••• • Theobject of this arrangement was to defeat such sire calations as had been entered into within the last year, • , the for inirpose of unduly influencing die settlement of , t tte. Average. Another alteration which he meant to pro .: • e t and v. Lich erottld form au addition to the exist . • isr ~ Aesgh it, would produce no infl uence u p on s the •AY %lige'', was to ideloele the counties of Kent, Ea • auti Fmssere among those from which the averages e .!re to be taken. The next addition which he bad to , iropose refeered to the power vested in the King hi andh (;suuCil for the appointm ent of those towns fr nu wc • .. • 3, ti'c averagee were t o be taken. By the existing law ' the Ii ra g in Council was empowered to transfer the t.- . it teeing of averages from on e town to the other upon e • ' k - m at representation of th e tla g istrates at Quarter-se . s . s.atis. But he rather thought thatthepower of the King ist Council should be enlarged, and that his Majesty elamlll he authorised to omit one town without insert ing another, as well as to insert any town dee whimedch, expe with• t'.' ailvice of his Council , i t might be uteut to select, froni increase of trade and population Now as to the omission ; it was proposed to k •suit al together, the titling of averages in the Midland ▪ Contitiee, and in-Scotland ; for those averages were not deemed meterial, as the averages in the Maritime Counties would form a natural criterion of the prices • ▪ io• those districts, the return of, averages from • width; heretofore, had never bad any influence sion, o f tin- Aig the general averag e.

It ass a b Bill to correct an error whirl, existell et present 1, respect to what was called British corn---for, in conse quence of this deno mination in the e il a tinglaw . Irish corn was excluded from the 'overages, although the Irish corn imported into England was..actnallys thelsest the conntry produ ced, aorl, from the law as h Inn since enacted relative to the import of Irish corn, it mustbe ohvi..us that nu su.:li distinction , could bojust. But the error to which he alluded wss the result of a mere technical Custont-house ioterpretation, which inferred that British corn alone watt meant. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving a Re solution, " That it was expedient to repeal the seve ral acts alluded to, with respect to the 'tenement of the average price of corn, and in order to propose another law in lieu thereof. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that tlie erste'' , of averages was understood to have been settled upon before the last Corn Bill was passed.—Front tHs and other con siderations, he should feel it his ditty t•ensetch such a measure as that proposed by the• Right llon.Gentleman with peculiar jealousy, although he would not object to the Resolution which he hid a ubruitted tv die Cam . tnittee. Mr. BARING coull not help espret.sing Isis regret that any roe.isure of such a nature slrould have bees brought forward at this particular period; for this measure was, in his apprehension, caloulated to create co nsiderable uueasitw..s am ong the penple—he meant among the coils 1111 l ets of corn, while it might hold not erroneous prospects to ti. growers of that article. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said; that his Bill would produce any material influence upon the aver ages; but it might have the elfert of screwing %p Dore to the import price. Policy as well as justice aboeld have prevented the agitation of this subject a •fur he maintained that the system of taking averages was understood to havebeen settled. upon the discussion of the last Corn Bill. lie remembered, indeed, that in consequence of this undcrstauding, many Gentlemen argued, that although the import price was nominally fixed by that Bill at tills. the real prier., in oonsequence of the mode of taking the averages, would not exceed 765. Nay, some Gentlemen set the real price down so low as 735. or 745. Yet the Right Iluu, Gentleman now proposed to alter the arrangement, the reasoning upon which probably reconciled many persons to the enactment of the late Corn Law, notwithstanding its general unpopularity. He was the more surprised at the Right lion. Gentleman's proposition, as it was now an opinion pretty generally settled, that the import of Foreign Corn had nothing whatever to do with the distress of the country or that of its agriculture. Upon these grounds, lie disapproved of the Right lion. Gentleman's proposed Bill, because he thought it cal culated not only to create unesainess amoug the con sumers, but to kspire the growers with false hopes. Mr. IRVING expressed his opinion, that the public, if they looked for any relief from the measure under the consideration of the House. would certainly be disappointed. Mr. H. SUSI NER said, that the measures before th d e House would, In his o p inion, ful fi l the -object it new ba in view ; it w ould p rotect those d 0 subjesubjected cted to fraud. It would be but can mended todid on tgo he part of Ministers to say, whether they i farther. If nothing more was intende4, it was nut right that the country should he deluded by an expectation that more would he done. Mr. F . . LEWIS said, that when the average of erfectl 80s. per quarter was Muted by Parliament , i t was py understood that the real average would not be inure than 765. Ile disapproved of joining the average amo unt of Irish corn to that of this country, because the Irish coin was of an inferior quality to the Eng- dish corn. Mr. CURWEN said, that the House wai not aware of the injury which the country suffered by the frauds which had been practised in the mode of taking aver ages. He was sure that, within a very limited pe riod, the country bad lost at least one million by the frauds which had been committed. lie begged to call the attention of the Coustuitte to one fact, which h e conceived worthy their attention. Large quanti ties of corn were imported from Denmark into the Isle of Man, and front thence shippel o ff to England: fro nt that canse the northern counties suffered most materially. An Hon. Member (Mr. Daring) professed himself a friend to the agricultural interests. The Hon. Member appeared to him to be a very singular friend the indentthat i n terest. The lion. Ge ntleman stated, that duction of foreign grail) was of no injury to the tati Enon g lish agriculturist —Now he (Mr. C.) had uo hesi iA saying, that the greatest injury resulted to the Eng lish farmer from the introduction of Foreign Wain. If the ports of this country were not opened for five ears, one bait season in five was the common calcula tion, the accurnitlatism of Foreign Cora daring the year in which the ports would be open, viould be an great as to clog the maritet, and leave so ear% behind after the consumption of the season, as Materially to inlinenee the state ti the Edgl market fur the three or four subsequent years. That he thought was a great evil, which called fur immediat;corrhectioo. The Honourable Member ( Mr. Baring) said, tat the i portation of Foreikn ebr u in WIS. had no effect upon 'the market, he (.11r. Curwen) differed entirely with' him on'that point-11f could state it as a fart, that there were fifty thousand quarters of thii Grain is pcirted in the year Itsiti, at present in the Port of Lon don ready to he brought down whenever there should appear to be &DT' 3111111141 Ce in the prices. Another great injury to the agricnivaral interests resulted from tho' fact he had just stated. The siseculator, who formerly brought his capital into the market and piirthased up the surplus corn, and waited for an advance of prices, an longer appeared--there war no persoo noWdoiling between the consumer and the farmer. lie hoped that • sonte really efficient measure would be adopted—bat at least some candid declaration would be aide by Mi piston as to-the talent to which they kneaded tor to save the agficulterist from atter ruin.

Mr. RIGAILDU caspeivail the OEM at the 1.0 1 10 0 . . wield Is to Wu Ohs burradies rue. An iimasettebie -zr . r .'.. had spoltehof the injury which Foreign Corn occasioned in t's. That tnigittise so ; but the only marl! 4 saw for this evil was, for this country to lower the prices of Corn swirly to the standard of the prices of the Continent.—(Heir, tad a langli.)—The only way Cora` hn c o uld be &Mork he snpposetl, to keep out Foreig was by putting high duties upon the importation - ofB: that was the meal's Iry which the British grower was to have a monopoly of British aserket. Now, suppose that a year of scarcity bad arrived, and that a high duty had been placed on the imporation of Foreign C3rn, would any Minister in Englatnl, at such a time of distress, et tempt to enforce that duty—would any English Minister a ttempt to shut out relief from a starving people ? I possible: and ; therefore, the Otis would he left open sod free, and the immemie importation which the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Citrwen) looked upon as so great a mis fortune, would take place. Much had beets said as to a remedy for the distfess of the a grirrilturist ; he (Alr. Ricardo) was of opinion that the only remedy for that distress was the total repeal of the Corn Laws.—(llear.) The Corn Lases ought to he taken off altogether, and he was sure that woes or later a measure of that sort would be adopted. Mr. LOCKHART complained of the great and progressive distress of the Agriculturists. He could not roe that any alteration in the mode of taking the averages would at all relieve that distress. The high state of the taxation, at a time when the value of tke land was so depreciated, appeared to him the great clime of the evil. That evil was, no doubt, greatly increased by the measure which a Right Honourable Meenher. (Mr. Peel) had introduced into that House. He (Mr. Lockhart) was convinced, that if the system whir* that measnre sought to establish was. not very soon departed from, the matter would cod in absolute convulsion and ruin. The House was not to suppose that banks only stoppe d p a y ment ; agriculture might stop payment, agriculture might be brought to that state, to which it was fast approaching, when the land would render no return to the landlord. The measure before the H ouse mi g ht, perhaps, answer the petty end for Which it w as proposed but very dif ferent measures indeed should be adopted to render any thing like relief to the English farmers. Mr. RICARDO explained. After a few words frcen Mr. Bennet and Mr. Curwen, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow, tiCOTCH BURGHS. Lord A. HAMILTON moved for a return of number of the Royal Burghs which bad lost the power of electing to the Council since the year 1685, the particular time w hets each Burgh lost that power, when restored, and nnder what co nditious.--Ordered. ARMY ESTIMATES. Mr. HUME said, that the Army Estimates stood for Friday next, a time entirely too short fur a due ex amination of the different items committed in those altimeter. Ile therefore suggested to the Right lion. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), that the disseesion en the Army Estimates'should betes post poned to Monday fortnight, and the Navy Betiosa to Monday nest. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that inconvenience would be occasioned by postponing the principal part of the Army !Latinate' beyoud Fri day next. The consideration of the r emainder of t he he Army Estimates and the Nav y Estimates might postponed to Wednesday and Friday fortnight. Mr. BENNET urged the absolute necessity of grant ing time to consider these Estimates. If that de lay was refused, the Minority possessed resources whi they would undoubtedly put in force. It was impels Bible to say how many debates %nay take place sin these Estimates. He knew there were many Honourable Members who coincided with him in the determination to resist the amount of force called fur by these Esti mates to the last extremity. Our establishovnt must be cut down to the n ational income. We could not afford such establishments, and therefore lie would not vote them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed to postpone the consideratiou of the Army Estimates to the time proposed. The Navy Estimates he would fix fur Friday rie.,t, and the Ordnance for the Monday following. Mr. RICARDO nislied to know whether the paper , laid on the 'f able relative to the transactions between the Government and the Bank, contained every thing that had taken place from February I ts3o, to February 1841 ? Aud also, whether it included a return ofl the Exchequer Bills pnrchased by the Bank in the' market during the same period ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it included every transaction that took place between' the Government and the Bank, and that if there were astrporchalers of Excirequee Bills they also were in cluded. MR. 1100 K. Mr. BENNET put a qnestion to the Chancellor of the Exchequer r especting Mr. Hook, formetly a Treasurer at the Isle of France. He wished to know whether the money of which he was a defaulter had been paid ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that Mr. Hook's conduct had been inquired into, and he was found to be an honourable officer. lie coatd not an ' ewer whether the money had been repaid or not. Mr. COURTEXAY moved thesecond.reaeing of the ,Offeettiers' Transporiation Bill. Mr. BENNET (lid not rise to oppose the motion, but to express a hope that Parliament would take the subject into its consideration. The present exercise of tran sportation operated as a bounty to the encouragement of crime, Every year a stock of corruptlon was• sent sot to New south Wales, that produced licentiousness aid depravity without a parallel.
