Mr. LIUSHINGTON brought up the Report of the Committee of Supple. •We THOMAS LETHBRI DOE said, that be would avail Idnvelf of this opportunity to put a question to his Majesty's Minister'', to which he legged their serious at tention. in the last paragraph of his Majesty's Speech, it was admitted that• the agricultural interest was one of the greatest importance to this country. He concurred' fall, in this opinion, and he regretted that the paragraph which contained this -avowal was not followed up by an other which would pledge 'the - Government to meet the consideration of the present distress under which that in t west lahroired in a manly, , 'eternised manner. He was sera to find awes& intimation Ins made, and theme it - was afraid %vole* iafet • that t* must pass auother Session without wise any diminution of those distresses which afflicted flat moat oppressed, and, he might say, 4 70 1114 iMettbt• He•beld In great reaped the talents of Aisjostea.Atisidso, bathe could-not orabOok she Wi pers* °Mistime is the last Sewer's, withis.satelts•he4 ebetged open- their proceedings with respect to the uteri-, cultural interest. He had been always of opinion that the condition to which the interestuf the agricultural classes cots reduced, makings be traced to any error of theirs, Imf was the result entirely of impolitic acts of . the Legis- I state. Now that the evils were to be cured, Government seemed to has ahmolonedallexpeetation of relief, leaving it to chance and time to bring such remediesas they might. lint when the lalded inteectal was oppressed beyond its means; when so anch exclusive taxation was heaped upon it; when it was made to hear the bunko of maintainwig the poor; and when it furnished a fund for a variety of other public pupate to which no second interest in the State contributed; under such circumstances was it too much to expect—to demand, from Government a serious ision of their condi:inn. He begged, then, to be in formed, if his - MR.)I iti's Ministers had any intention to propose measures of immediate relief for the suffering agricultural iuterrst: if they intended to alter the mode of colleetieg the large sum o f monay which the land was c ledoti to cOutnUate, or make any arrangement so as to isievile the burden of maintaining the poor, and con•ri bitting to other public expenses which the landed interest had exclusively to bear? He trusted that he sbouldAiear suit an answer as would lead to the hope of a speedy iii 'lactation of the distress under which the landed interest la boured. But jf he was told that nothing oat to be done, Ilan should he be miserably disappoin.ed. Mr. CANNING said that it was impossible for any one tu find fault with the Hon. Baronet, and certainly be was not disposed to do so, for cape:owing on this occasion the disappointmont he felt that no specific measure of relief for Use landed interest had been recommended by the Speech from the 'throne. On the other band, the Hon. Baronet would do his Majesty's Ministers great injustice by ennosieg that they were deficient in the desire to pro &we those measures of relief that the neeessities of the landed interest required—or that they did not deeply aympathiee in the distaste: which had arisen to a degree which no man, anxious for the welfare of the country at 'erg:, could wish to see continued. He himself would hese been anima to see an intimation in his Majesty's Speech that -wag& have promised direct relief to the laud ed interest, if such intimation could have been made upon a due consideration of the practicability of any such mea sure. But it would be unfair to purchase temporary po pularity, by bolding out the expecation that measures of immediate relief were in progress, when, after a solemn, cieliberate view of the eireunistames of the country, soch expectation•emtiffnot be fairly offered to the Bogs: lie could anowevillethinvelf during the last four 4 0, for which period hailed the honour of a place in hie . jesty's Couniols, and he mid answer for those whose b • nets it sips to take axon thefts such consideration, that for many months is fore, they had tuarie the situation of the landed iaterest the subject of their most anxious thought. Nay, he could say more—he was once sangnia enough to pre mune that some much measure of relief was within the compass of Parliament. and if he yielded to the sense of others in not going further with that opiuiou, it was'from the conviction that be was subinitting to sounder and wiser minds. Coder each circumstances it would not unlya be of no use. but it would be positive injury to agitate any gum:iota which held out the promise of relief, but which an effect, might torn oat to bra source only of disappoint ment and &satisfaction. He was compelled, therefore, to sty that to any -direct measure of relief kinnet.iately for the agricultural interest, Government dicloot seilita nay. If there teem any shawls title arosal, they shared that shame with the Coosieutive Committee up stairs, and it. might my with a great many Shoo.op . mous were en titled to the highest deference.

But however might he the inumalolue ditty of Government to find ant reittedieS for the'grierancei under which the people suithr-, ed, it was also the duty of Ministers, when, after an honest and tine consideration of the case, they were unable to pro pose a competent remedy, frankly to avow that failure to the country, and guard against any delusion or doubt 'which their forbearance might justify.—(hear). But though he despaired of being able to discoverany direct orl immediate remedy, it by no means foam% ed that much rm. lief could not be obtained by collateral channels. It had been a question of doubt in that House it redress could be afforded by the diminution of taxes. However, Govern ment, in its solititede for the alleviation of the distress nu der which the lauded interest was labouring, did turn its! attention to the reduction of the public burdens as anyearri+ of relief to agriculture, and he was not ashamed to say that the oaly relief which Government would pledge itself to, •was contained, as the house would see that day week, in be oat, went of his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), in a considerable diminution of the team — (Hear, ,hear.) Ile trusted then that his Majesty's Minis ters were relieved front the reproach of having neglected the interest of the agricultural body. But whilst they deeply sympathized with that body under their present distress, so they could no; see in every branch of rotation* a steady, gradual improvement, without entertaining the hope that agriculture will ere long, be no inconsiderable partakers iu that growing prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CURW EN thought that t; e hone had reason to be satisfied with the declarations of the right hon. gentio;' man. inasmuch as they frankly conveyed to the country' the line of policy which his Majesty's ministers had um rived on. But lamest. ot . the ram timer say that 1f oath Were t h e deeirdWor-thweniment,.the cointry was iq, a far More perilous Mate than recent eventil had, notified 'them in beiseving. For his part he had made up his mind to expect no relief, except froth taxation. The landed in :terest could not be effectually rescued front its present overpowering embarrassments, except by removing—not collateral burdens, but those direct taxes which pressed upon it alone. A glimmering of hope was held out to the agriculturists in the growing properity of com merce. If those annottneenwirs were true, he could only rev that such improvement iu one interest was founded on the ruin of another. It rose out of the low price of pro duce, and the purchase of labour at a low rate. Every body knew that agriculture was carried on at a loss; that a fanner must apply to his capital; and that where there was uone, ruin of neaautity followed, lie was as anxious as any man in that home fo r maintaining faith with the public creditor ; but he was also anxious for equal taxa tion. In his opinion, the fonds should he made charge able with a part of the expenditure of the State, and he did expect that a measure which would carry that motion into elect 'timid have been propos-d. He did not see any just ground lor exempting the funds from contributing to the maintenance of the poor, and any defect of the law with respect to assessments by parochial divisions, in con sequence of which the funds could not at present be reached, there could be no difficulty in removing. He thought that they should canon fundholden to bear a part iu the public. expenses. The value of the funded p7operty at present was more than the ineomearising from land and Itouvs. Taking it, however, to be only equal, the funds ought then to be charged in the proportion of 50 per cent. and let the house see what a relief that would he. He trusted that a measure with this object would he brought forward. He was not for breaking faith with the fund holders ; but he a kited to see them make a fair sacrifice to the exigencies tithe eolistry-aa measure *Wel t , in his mini, was the only one that could preserve the cointry ft oui being a witness to a scene of injustice and violence. which all must shudder to contermlate.

Mr. ROBERTSON said that he would take this o portunity of submitting to the house his view of the mot in Which relief might he exteusled, and as the suggestion was new, he was desirous of putting it forward thus early, in order that Gentlemen might have time to consider it be fore they would he called on to decide on its merits. The house would bear in mind, that during the French war— he meant the war from 1740 to 1749—the Government of England borrowed money at a rate of three and four per If the credit of this country were as good in the late war as it had been at the period to which he just al luded, we should not he paying six and seven per cent. fur Mena, as was actually the case during the late contest. , 'lite average rate of interest at which we borrowed during the late wars (though the loans might nominally be' made at three per cent.) was five per tent, besides which I there was given to the loan holder as a helms a promise of 401. bearing interest. Now on what ground was the coun try called on to make this large sacrifice. It was in fact ' this system of funding that redured the Government to such a state of discredit as rendered it necessary for them I to borrow at a disadvantage. Whilst that system lasted, the country was in the hands of a great monied interest in the metropolis, which could keep up the rate of interest as high as they pleased. But let the house look to the conse quences of borrowing under different circumstances. In the year 1749, for every 1001. which the Government gave out a security, one hundred pounds Goma fide were paid into the Exchequer. The three per cents rose in the first year of peace above par—they rose to 1021. Unless then the proms in trade and capital were greater now than they were on the further occasion, his case was proved.— (Hear! from Ricardo.) But hebelieved it would be found that the country was now labouring uuder greater,discredit than on the former occasion, and that it arose from the: present system of funding. If the Government had not borrowed at 7 per cent as in effect they had. the country would not now. have to endure the gnenmeni whrcir ha premed so heavily upon it. If with the present abundance of capital in the market, the Government would not find it tlithcolt to borrow money at 2 and 24 per cent., paid boner fide into the Exchequer without the intervention of con. tractors, the country would thus be considerably relieved,. It was in this mode that he proposed to relieve the country by reducing the interest of the National Debt, anti he tins early threw out the sugg,?stions in order to prepare the winds of the house for duly entertaining his mutton when the period came for submitting it.—The report was then brought up and laid on the tatde. CATHOLIC QUESTION. Mr. C. HUTCH I NSON said that he had just seen the Attorney-G:ner.il for Ireland leave his place, before he had au opportunity of asking him a material question. But he wished to be informe I by any of the Right lion. Gentleman's Friends, if it was his intention to bring for ward the Cstitolic Question on the day already fixed, as 4ere were trees to the contrary. Mr. WYNN said he bad no hesitation in stating that it was fully the attention of his Right Hon. Friend to bring forward the question on the day already fixed, Thursday, the 211th instant.

This poor Petition will stand no ehaisce at all. If all its prayers be not granted, all its princi ples will have been proelaimed in the House of CUM• mons itself, before the poor thing will be able to get forward.

Mr. COKE is keeping it there, and setting the black towsers on to worry it, while members in the House of Commons, where it is to be presented, arc actually an ticipating all the principles which it promulgates, and all the measures for which it prays! Mr. Cows professes great reatect for the Yeomen of the County of Norfolk. It is pity he takes such a strange manner of showing that respect. He takes the Petition of the whole county ; he keeps it there in Norfolk ; runs about the country calling together, here and there, a :parcel of dependants of shags and of trawsers, to worry and to tear to pieces this Petition of the Yen men ; and this he does, until when the Petition shall ,at last be presented, it will be an old story---These . .eemarks are called forth from us by what took place :in the House of Commons last night. On former nights, Mr. Hume had given notice of his intention er • ta propose an actual appropriation of a laige part of the-Churetrpropertg, and of all the Crown Lands, to tile liquidation of the National Debt ; and last night, a Mr. ROBERTSON, gave notice that he should, during 'the Session, propose a REDUCTION OF THE IN. T.1.:/I!"..:ST OI THE DEBT! That is the blow; rend we like it a great deal the better because it comes from a Scotchman.—Now, then, let the London press pitch upon Mr. ROBERTSON. But, we are before our story. We must remark on what preceded this.— Sir THOMAS LETIIHRIDOE expressed his dissatisfaction that the speech from the Throne had recommended no measure for the relief of agriculture ; and he asked the Ministers whether they had any plan in contemplation to produce such relief. Our readers, by a reference to the debate itself, will see in what a very gentle tone Mr. Canning talked. He confessed that they had no plan ; that " they did, under all the eireemstancem,proftss to see their way." Hod help them ! no : we know they do not see their way.-- Mr. Counrrr has told the farmers, all user the coun try, that the Mjnistera did not see their way. While he was speaking to the farmers at Winchester, there was a noise of some buys who were playing hoops iu the street ; and he said, " upon my honour, Gentlemen, " the wllimist , rs know nu more what to do with the " Ming than those children Mat ore Ile:ring at hoops "is the street." Well, then, we are in a hope ful way. If these men cannot see their way, somebody ought to be gut that eau see their way; but we yen. ENGLAND AGAINST JERCSALEN. The .Vorning Chronicle has declared itself fur the. Jews. To-day it quotes a man by the name of Tooitt, who has written to show that the change in the value of the currency has produced little or no effect on the, affairs of agriculture. The impudence of this assertion and at this time of day too, is perfectly nr.stehless.. However, it will proiloce so other effect than that of rearking-outtthe authors of it fur the contempt of the nation. Why does not the Chronicle, or Mr. Too,se, or the ORACLE, who is really the chief proprietor of the Scotsman ; why does not some one of these attempt. to answer Mr. ATTWOOLs, Mr. W ESTERN, Lord STvCit- TON ; or,why does not one of them take a short passage from the hull Register and answer that?

We refer our readers to another part of tliii paper, where they will tied a letter from Mr. It iettAllt)s of Worcester : and where they will find a very fine spe cimen of the IMPARTIALITY of the Morning Chro nicle, and the Partners' Journal. This last beastly thing is, we understand, on its last legs ; and, if this he the line which the Morping Chronicle mean s t o pursue, we venture to predict that its legs will very soon not be too strong!
