Let religion he free. say we; bo. unless all be freely tolerated, we are decidedly against partial (scum to this, that, and the other sect ; which, ) as we before observed. can only tend to rut up awl de stroy that subtle spirit. that spirit of reform, which is new becoming geseral aid consolidated.

We wish them to be left to believe, or 'Hobe' Howe. just what they like; but, we do not wish their contrite and crotchets to come and shake as uproar about religion at a time like this. • Thp Catholics' is a very different ease.

The AgricOural Report, which Lord C mat, the eight befits, se very anzioos to screen from discussion anti) after the holidays, could not, our rea ders will perceive, be kept beigdod up 90 long. ft was like the " arm wins." It hinted forth last night, tad produced a discassiou by far the most interestiog that we have had to notice. daring the whole of the Sresion. It was introduced by Mr. BIN FT Tof Wilt- Aire. in preseating a Petition from the owners acid amorists of land I. that comity. He was followed, Mr. Ettics, who was succeeded by Mr. F.

As all dee doctrines. all the dons of those who centered the Report, and who decribed the Wien sod falling state of the coun•ry. are merely repetitions of opinions and confirmations of prophesies of the pea which is putting this on paper, we should want heart to go over what is become so trite, aid so tiresome to our minds. —We can hardly beteg ourselves to believe, that it can be necessary spit to go over the subject ; yet, when we see, as we do now on the table before us. such ignorance as is, after all, sent forth through tilt Morning Papers, and especially by the Old Thiee. in the shape of commentary en this very dehafe. we cannot remit sliest; bat feel ourselves impelled to pat on paper a few words, if it be onir so chew that all England is not mad.that the mind of all Englasd is not bemaddied like that of the poor creature whir writes the balf-novel and half-gossiping stuff to which we have just alluded.--Mr. &tics took the right view tithe sahject; no new view. to be sure ; but to be right and original oe this sebjest we defy him. He chewed, that the object of the Committee was to rider the pike of corn and be said, tint. with Pest's Bill in forte, this tees impossible. He stated. that. la 1814, the country flank notes stamped amounted to eleven millions, and in 1821, to only two and a AoY'suitiosts/ In short, be contended. sow is April, len, for all that the Long Island prophet had contended (in ad. Tenet and in the way of warming) in July, 1819. He also contended, with that same prophet, that our prices must come down to these of 'fillet; aid with that prophet he declared, that a reoolaßott, nitre silent bet more effectual. was roil( es here sow than had ever gone oa in Fraser i He ematendod, that, to re turn to cash-paymeats.trithoat rederial centred*, was madness ; andolid sot dm prophet so eoutend is that pc tidos. which he sent from )wag Island in the early part of 1818, but which Gard POLkeeTarte did not present, imeause the House did sot Ulm long petitions! Faith, we believe "the Rowse" will mot be so "ice soon! We fancy I it will find itself blessed with a little more patience shortly! "The House not like," indeed!!—Mr. else tics cease red the Committee. sad very jostly, Gr tit i going hoe the causes of the distress ; and he (as the prophet always has dose) ascribed this wholly to MAP, sties co-operating with cheerer in the valve of the currency. Mr. Ettics's was a clever speech. It bad nothing, sad could have titbit% original is it, It it was to be right. The prophet has barred up every avenue to originality oa any sobject of this sort ; hut it was, nevertheless, clever; and it was valuable be cease it came so fatly to contras all the predictions of long Island.and to tell the disciples of the prophet. that they Night to rejoice in their triumph ; for that their faith is "the munition of rocks."—Mr. Fes rie test Lewis, one of the Committee, defended that cele brated body of men against the csosare of Mr. Buttes. Hs said, that this Committee was ealy a eow.ionatioe 4, titedtlast year, mad, it 15... 1 . eeAs tie distrees! law"! to. ceinatey Igh laughed at ski laseldhes bp& ! would it not have been of owe use to call a whim eV twos* to whether there be any distress fa Ame rica? Why rid they ailed that without any evidence at all. wham hundreds of witnesses were at band. American* es well as Baglish ? Why do they still assert it, without prodieciog a single American news paper that contain* a petition on any such +abject ? This was a thing of the very Met importance; andl yet no inquiry, no desire to get at proof about it!— Mr. WerTBILN followed nest; anal, he observed, that "the distress was such as c.rld not have ken antiei " pared." No? Was it not anticipated by the Long Island Prophet, while he was at pingh ? Was it not all aatieipated, in detail as well as is gross, a year before Pates Bill was proposed? Oh! bat Mr. Was sang did mot read the " too leer, " perificu: and the Letter to Tierney! More fool he, then ; that's all.— This gentlest., after having stated. that farther in quiries bad coofirmed his opinion that two-thirds of the Essex farmers are insolvent; that the distress of the country woolsl compel them " to rip up" Paces Bill ; that it was impossible to go ea with it ; that the (louse would he compelled to take that Bill into et:mai. dentine ; said, that if on other metier would bring the subject forward, he would r—Egad! We shall Nave the feast of At gridiron, then! But; Oh! can it be possible! It is one way, indeed, of driving the prophet eraey. We toast break his leg, or arm, or make him really drunk with wine or gin; or he will be so puffed up to such a bulk that he will burst with vanity. Perhaps it will be better to get WALTZ* and his sisters to " ii4k " hi w *gain! How ever, we most leave this to time, and, for the present. proceed with our debate in the " CoUnriet."—Mr. Amino° nest came, and began by saying, that " it " was impossible that Peel's Bill could be the mob " earn of the distress:" anal this be attempted to show in just as odd a eon of way as we ever noon ber to have clapped ear eyes on. Tice whole of hls argument was built on a weak idea of Mr. Werreag ; timely. that the money had been raised is edits only 25 per cent. Take that for granted. and Pest's Bill (theCash-Projeet)is setae main cause. Bot, though this is more titan four and a half per cent, it is no thing like what the Bill and Hank measures have pro dated. If the country Bank notes have biles off is the degree of from dere* to two and a half, this is • little more, we take it than four aid a half per cent ! Mr. lascsaga could not believe that all rent could be takes away by the taxes, of which farina only paid a portion ! flood Odd! Why, this is going upon flit nation, that prices an still the same. If a mat can play rent and get a living profit with wheat at tea shillings a lembel, can he do either if it fall to five and the draft of taxes remain the same? The rent and profit are to come out of a muds price with cer tain taxes; and if the price go sad the taxes nimbi, how sae there be rent or profit? It makes one itch all over ; it makes one rub one's shoulders, and al• most jump about the room, at bearing this, and at hearing it put forth In the form of serious arguomoto; We most say, however, that we are inclined to arm the return of common sense from the reception of this speech of Mr. RICAUDO, which was attended with onto of those strange cheers that we had oar ears shocked by in 1819, during the sittings of the famous Parliament that passed Peers Bill and Sir dos; two inflictieme equally memorable, but precisely opposite as . ** thole objects. Mr. Hans BENlglir came next; and, after Isabela'. that taxation was the cause of the distress; after observing, that, if taxation were not reduced, the country would soon be brought to the state of India, where the Z:mixdartt finding their property us productive, gore it up altogether to the Goner:meat ; after °burring this, which, we think, we have beard observed Fy some one before; after saying that be knew a family whose rental was reduced from £6.000 £l,BOO by Paces Bill ; after saying (and very reasonably.) that he wished the taxes raised for the Slaking Feed to be repealed, the pl.n of which fond was a "notpicte imposture." fabricated by that " great juggler Purr;" attar this. in which we per fectly agree with bits. die same having been said by the ploughing prophet. any time during then lam 20 years ; after all this, for which we thank Mr. BENNET, because we know that it will and must produce an ea , *talent effect ; after all this, he said something in which we do not so entirely concur with him; namely. that the Loadlords ought to make a compromise a ith the Fandholders. There are other parties besides the Landlords. AU 11. e intimations class , hare as much to do with the matter as the Landlords hare. Let the people at large dome a House of Cot:moos, and that House will settle the maner amicably, and without each a House this never ran be done. Lord CAITLCIMAGII (Oh ; new you shall see what you shall see ! as the showmen say) followed Mr. Bangs r, and began by deprecating a premature discussion of what was, " hereafter to be so folly discussed." He then expressed his astonishment at Mr. Bentswe's talk of a "coaspro. min." He talked of the " delusion," the great i'eal of " delusiou that had been scattered through the country " upon these stthjec.s." and implored members. implored Honourable Members to " go home to the country " with their minds fire fro a the gloomy apprches.
