Mr. PEEL said, after all that bad isink'iteffilis, el e hewn would indulge him with the Iriortacity of. raids; Nate few °buffaloes on the q atlas betel, the house, at well as on the mildest of the llf thathotl "tee,. called alter him, owing to the"ilianietatme - of his having been the Chairman of the Corimitte• fret"; which the Bill proceeded. After all the expett . wbieb the measure had undergone, and after the man ner le which it had been attacked at public meedegs in particular, he woeld not shelter himsetf undet the autbority of the great majorities with which the Bill bed bete passed. He was, se the contrary. prepared now, to express his &Satan toevic tie., after what he would not call all the clamour, and what he could not call argument. that there was no ether alternative left to Parliament thou to pass that 11111.—(11ear. bear, hear!)---He was further prepared to maintain that the real interests of the eteuett:y were consulted by that Bill; that, is fact, it bad not materially affected the agricultural interest— carteinly sot more than those literate would have beeu affected by other means, had not the Bill become law. They were not to consult the agricultural in terests shine; though tiod forbid that he should un detvalue those laterals. They were too apt to close • their eves against the evils from which they had estapeti, otherwise the house would not fail to recollect those of 1818 and 181 f. Tiers were then beheld the consequences of a ore eiated currency. not only on their maatimillerolls but on the hateful tran q uillity of the country. The distreeses of that period were mainly attrihrtitWe to the lavbefe of wages, and to the inadequate etkass et obtaining subsittence. The country bore the male of prOsperity externally, hot those appearances were nut screed. Such was the state of the poor, owing to the inadequacy of wages, that in 1818 there were twenty-three counties paying greatly advanced poor's rein. From those dilllculties the tmeetry had alai ilerably recovered. stie saw the poor's rase eheeked. peteeieed that a great object bad hen gained ; -awl that object he thought - had been greatly promoted by the Bill, as, owing se its operatioa, the peer bad been ninth better paid. That the rates bad been eon -elderably checked was evident, from the fact, that is Nottiogbarnaltire they were reduced 18 per cat, and in Sussex, where there was the least reductive, al per feet Is Northumberland, when the Agricultural . . Diverse was lot so particularly complained of, there mss no reduction of the rates. All these einem suffices led him to disbelieve that the Damen had bee. produced by the Resumption of Cash Payments. The pita of corn were low now. 1w 1779 Mime was 34a. per quarter; in 1783 it wu 525.; in 1001 it Wu ,1161.; in 1402 it was reduced to 67.. ; sad in 11105 it was at 665. per quarter.—Tien they sow Area flesteatinse is the picas of corn, but then they ass id sot attribate them to soy meaaeree fee changing she carreacy.

Mere wore 1,10,000 gamuts imported from looked; fir the saves pars esidiog 1421, there were 7.530.000 quarters imported. This increase, together with three peed harvests, hod produced e ff ects. against which Obey amid sot ghat their eyes ; such events, and out the importation et Amiga sore, still less lb* passing of the Milk bad Noised the difficulties which sow the icsiereets of agriculture. He firmly b. p lan aseasere which the House amid adopt would affair relief to those distresses; on the other baud, be believed that eventually they should see 46bese distresses give way, as bad the other 411fieshies „.• 414 e country, He believed that the clamour against 110, - Ithe 4EII, like the distresses of agriculture, would be - *2 Itemperary ; and that after three or four years had 4kelapeed, Parliament would rejoice that they had cos ' ktistently sod firmly supported the Bill for the restore dui of the correocy.—(Cbsers.) $ • Mr. ELLICE rose to say that it appeared to him a clear .position that the price of gold was no eateries of t h e value of foreign commodities coming into the market. The fair mode of estimating the currency would be by the standard since the suspension of the Bark Bill, in 1797. There was a depreciation in the vitae of the currency of from 20 to 40 pee cant. in ten years, from 1810 to 1820. Of this depreciation, though the country did not feel the effects tasusedia•ely, it was no reason that it would not bare been felt seb seleeatly. The lion. Oeutlernan has said that the reduction io 1810 was not effected by the issues of the Bank ; but the debt was reduced to 24 saillitioa, sod is conselemeee of such redaction, the tames of the country hanks. is 1814, was reduced to sieves millions; and in 1816, to sin millions and a Wt.—. After 1816, the scheme of relief adopted was to bee rev/ paper, and consequently the issuing was increased. aed the value of commodities considerably raised, though sot the price of gold. Nies millions were borrowed in 1816. astrup to July, 1107. the Balk issued to the mould of from 3 to 500.0001. per month. TINI standard of the currency must be estimated ac cording to the quantity is the market. Surely if eight millions be takes from the Bank, and sot put isle circulation, but sent out of the country. so ea teries could be formed of the value of other commodi ties from that eimasstasce. In 1815, 43 millions were raised, what the price of stock was 54; thus the 45 ealliess coot the ',matey 83 tallness at 3 per cent. Then the escheage on Paris was 18f. 30c.— Now the country has to pay these 45 million at 78, which beconses4ls million.; besides animist; for the depreciation of currency 40 percent., another item of 25 millions may be added. leaving altogether to the country a debt of 90 million to he paid. The etre ciatioo of the currency had a deplorable effect on the labouring classes. The argnmeot of the Learned Geatleatas cut two ways; if the depreciates of the cornet, effected the labouring claws, because it raised the price of provisions, he would put it to the country gentlemen. what is new the effect on these classes that the metallic currency is restored and the prise of pros-Woes coniderallly reduced. He was aoxious to say a word with regard to what fell frets as Hoe. Director of the Doak. If he was anxious to hare added a einem to the Bask DIU, by which they would have been obliged to pay in essressy, it was is a great measure to pet a mop to forgery. to which se noisy usiertesaes pusses bad fallen 'Wins.

Ilr. HUSKISSON rose for the purpose of making see observation with regard to the Agricultural Com- Melee. of which he had bees a Member. He was, grelaml to draw up the Report of that Committee, in some motorist alterations were made, sot alto gether with his ceocarreace. But be stated distinctly his concurrence I. it taken as a whole, (*ash there were some puts, he thought, objectiosable. As Hoe.

NEWPORT rose with a view to correct an impression that the permission of Irish corn into Bog bud was a tame to that country. It was only the re melt which should have followed the lions; lied if the identification of the interests of both coentries had followed that measure. it would have prevented the ab sentee system, and, be thought, many of the misfor tunes under which Ireland was now labouring. He wished before he letdown total' the Noble Mariplesa's atteation to one obeervatioo he had to asks with re gard to the Committee—be thought it advisable that tissue should be specific orders as to the references in order to p t delay. Such a regulation would pro vost travelling into objects not caseated with the subject. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY replied. He defended Ministers from the charge of procrastination or neglect.

Mr. Ricsavo distinctly stated, that he had never asserted that " TAXATION WAS set the cause of distress." He added, that " although ►s had said that its effects epos some classes were not so great as upon others, yet he had not said that its Teets were not inferiors." We receive this decla ration with great pl , because Mr. Ricardo ha the character of being ►ell versed in the science of political economy; and the opinion, ascribed to him in the Parliamentary Reports, has been used with great triumph and considerable effect by the enemies of Retrenchment. We pointed eat the error of the plopositiou—that taxation is Do part of the cause of the distresses of the country—and certainly, ne ver was a greater absurdity uttered. It would, in fact, ha pretty sear the truth to say, that excess of wallow is the solo Masa of those dialogist'.

If cause of Wallas be the only cause of our distresses (sod it is shown the sole there is no remedy but redaeing tezotion ; and we trust the time is at baud when we shall hear of no other. The folly of Lord Le:4l)ex aaaaa 's pine of lending money to the farmers, is already almost ediversally sees into, sad scouted. The farmers do net Walt loaes--they west their expenditure to be rs. demist so as to give them a living, et Me present prices of their produce. The peewit prices they know to be necessary to the prosperity of the manufacturers and traders ; and, without their prosperity, the fanner , knows he never can get a living pruit. But, if the farmer waisted leans, he is not fool enough to take them on my Lord Lesroox aaaaa 's plan, which will subject him to extents from the Exchequer, for re-pay s:ma. Mr. Sixes put that to the consideration at the Country Gentlemen, last night; and it would be well that every farmer in the kingdom ebseid knew what he is accepting of, when he accepts Lord LWOW '4 GREAT Boom, as the Courier has feestiously niekeenned it.
