The money might be repaid to swot by instalments of four or five years, bet In e was the lain advanced to exceed the amount of ear's assessment. It would be the dater of his Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on re night, to lay this measure more in detail before me,. There was one other great branch of this DO which he wished to state to the House— sded to the Committee which bad been appointed rear upon the Corn Laws. Things were to- liffereat now from what they were last year. — inner, seeing that it was out of the power of Clo set to give immediate relief, could bring more T to the consideration of the remedies to serve lad more particularly as he felt no want of a pro g duty, for the 11112.1 i Mita was eighty shillings. t corn was only fifty. Looking as he did at the rt of the Committee of last year upon the table, be :ht they should be blinking their duty, if he did ore to revive that Committee with a view of emoti ng the Report. But it was not to be supposed he was bringing in a Corn Bill, or that he had any i approaching the effect of that measure. Without engtog a discussion neon all the principles of the Laws, some modification of them was necessary to ct the country against the injurious conseqoamess I agriculture, which by mere accident nsigleklis pro f by the o p erat i on o f t h ese laws.—(hear.) — 'he :evil of dine laws was, that in assail space of lima a are was determined upon, of so decided a nature as we no medium between an unlimited supply and as ute monopoly,—(Hear.) —That decisive step was i too upon averages which were likely to be affected :chime' circninstances.

Bet it was unjust to ourselves to suppose we were alone distressed. The difficulties under h the agricultural interest laboured were certainly t, but they were not so great as those felt in Ante the sea-ports of the Continent, and in Germany. 'the 'Marque ss o f L on d on d erry ) was told this day in Silesia, the farmers did not think the corn worth Dr off the field, and the finest wheat in Europe was there to rot.—(Hear.)—ln Bohemia corn did not !Lear -eighth of the price of last year.

This added to the lactose* of the fere sue, was to make &baseline a total, which the Noble Lord, with extreme modesty nod liberality, had aloud merely as the proxy of the Chancellor of the Ssehateer, eareeeriag re five mildest. and a lamer. Mire, Vile, if thee •Idea amillaolation Ps shish thallium hid:been looking so nag, was realised& pad they woo- - onereiewohe plenelog task if ies..._ were to do with it Now, iii for to. of upturns. that the Noble Lord's celestial's; were correct, elthengb he doubted It, be called upon the Geese to de that with the mean they possessed, which would be best for, the relief of the siostry. The Noble Lord said. let them keep this five millions and a quarter to look at aid play with, and to make . Ilowvishes about the stale of ear limners, and what be galls the cottntry. He (Mr. B.) lied asserted that there was no increase of coasemptioa ; but the Noble Lord now stated that, al sheath there had not betels an increased tousumption of Mak there was an increase is the eensomptioe of sub stitutes ; in the consumption of tea, the estended use of which gave so relief to the British agriculturist, however beneficial it might be to the agricalturists of China.— Asotlite position of the Noble Lord still more unaccount able, was that the redaction of taxes could afford no re lief to the suffering people:--(hear, bear!)—but he did not say a word of the effect which taxes mast have in raising the price of labour. of diminishing profits, and of increasing the prices to the consumer. Indeed lie called upon the House to look to the powers of resurrec tion, (loud laughter;) he told them that every thing was in a reviving state; and advanced principles of political ecosomy, every word of which was a complete satire on the country. An appeal was made to the justice of Par liament to remove those cruel sufferings which theircon n stituents were enduring.—(llear, bear.)—lle considered every thing like a trifling reduction as an insult to the country.—(Hear, hear.)—The Noble Lord disclosed one part of his project. which consisted in making a saving of two millions, which was to be added to the Sinking Fund. To protect that fund the Noble Lord'referred to the high authority of a man who long ruled over the country; but the House must recollect that the Chan, cellor of the Exchequer and the Not* Lord had pulled the first stones out of Mr. Pitt's grigesdifice in 1813, and left nothing of the Sinking Fund Width narne.—(ilear, hear.)—lt did not appear from the Noble Lord's plan. whether any of the tivil List, or any of the offices or el. ,weaves were to be touched.—(Hear.)—What, then, be- 1 cause of his retrenchments? There was a little heard of soperannuations, amounting to about 150,000/., and that was ',tibia was to be gained by retrenchment, and gained to the comforts of people who were starving for want.— It appeared that the next, and perhaps the most notable part of the Noble Lord's plan, was to borrow four mil lions to be lent by the Bank. That sum was to be alts posed of in a way that wit; so imperfectly explained, that many Members had not been able to catch even a glimpse of the Nobli Lord's meaning. If lie understood the Noble Lord correctly, the lending of the four mil l lions would apply to a two-fold purpose. In the first place, a portion of the sum was to be applied to the pun chase of Stock, for the purpose of keeping up the price of Stock ; it was to be another pulley, by means of which to support the market; secondly, what was Dot so ap plied, was to go in aid of the poor's rates.—How the ap plication of money to such an object could afford any re lief to the country, or even to the parties themselves, he was unable to comprehend.—(Heir, bear.)—As to the latter part of the plan. it was still norsirin its priaeiple. 'l'he first part of the plan was nugatory ; the latter por tics of it was worse still—it was initelaievons. It woe, neither more nor less than to lend money to every parish that chose to apply, and thus, in fact, encourage extra- vagance.—(Hear, hear.)—Would it relieve the country.l thne to create in every parish that spirit of profusion, which the Goveroatent bad so long been guilty, as loe showed on a former eveni, by reference to the'tiaanco Committees' Reports?—( dear, hear.)—He had Ali deteleed the House too long; bat, Him were to encitleg on as couch more of their titre, it would be impossible., show la stronger colours the iejurious, if not absent, character, of the Noble Lord's plans of relief ; even the Sable Lord's ow a stateuseuts carnal their (nen refivatiJo 4 called VISVIIIii. 0 44.11 0i Lkiviii.

He did set give an elngteMed anent to the Report of the . Agricetural Committee. He protested *Wingate doe- Inns that taxatiop was rather a positive evil than a po sitive good. The Mos. and Learned Gentleman said that the elect of tazatio. was, to dimieleb profits by taking !from capital. This, be said, was an old axiom of po litical sceigisoy, hot he (31e. Huskisson) had never read it, till Is profound lecture a few days Sind. It was anothettadow of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that 'taxatielfilinaded to prevent the employment of small capi tal, bgtbeelrect that large capital bad in cheapenier the price of leivit articles by the use of machinery, and the great facility it afforded of bringing them to market. — The Honourable and Learned Gentleman said, that in 1814, our expenditure amounted to 84,000,0001. and that of 1.`.020 to 60,000,000/. In 1814 our expenditure amounted to considerably more. The into actually levied was only 84,4100,6001. In war it was our policy to raise money by loans , and it would be therefore preposterous to make a comparison between thetwo periods. If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman meant to make comparisons, why not go hack to the Atnericau war, when, at the conclusion of the peace, our revenue was only 10,00n,0001., now it amounted to 60,0e0,0001. If the revenue was increased, it from the necessity of meeting oar engagements, and sup porting public credit. The lion. and Learned Gentle man, it be looked to the opinions of those to whom he would Indisposed to pay some deference—he meant Ms political friends—be 'meld see the expenditure retlneell below what the Hoe. Member for Essez (Mr. Western) had conceived it possible. That Hon. Member said N could not be reduced below 50,000,0001., and yet the e. penditure fur the present year would be within that sum. fbe Hon. and Learned Gentleman thought he had ob tained a great triumph on the subject regarding the consumption of malt. He said, that eotwithstanditig the great increase of population, there was a decrease one-seventh in the consumption. But if he had looked at the sub,ject accurately, he would have found that the consumption of malt, since the tax was imposed in Itf IL amounted to 29,000,0t50 bushels, and for the same period, previous to the imposition, to 21,ti00,000. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said, we receive goods from China amounting to 30,000,0001., and that we make no return. If he were addressing a mob in Co vent Garden, be could scarcely used an argument more ridiculous. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman also re ferred to the branch of our mineral wealth, and la mented the low price of iron. bat it was as material to the farmer, that the price of iron should he low, as the diminished price of clothes was to the labourer. It made oar manufactures mach cheaper from the quantity of machinery employed, and our hardware goods were much lower than in any other country. This was the effect, not of taxation, but of the employment of great capital. The Hon a4l Learnel Gentleman had totally mistaken the principle on which Mr. Pitt established the operation of the Sinking Fund. His principle was that there should be a tax of one per cent set apart I from every loan, until, by the operation of that one per lees& as a Sinking Fund, that loan would be entirely ligir. tie was of opinion that the only Sinking Fund tt the country could have, was an excess of revenue here expenditure in time of pea's.

He had bees astonished and amused at .4 statements of the Noble Marquess. Public expeetati had never, perhaps, been raised so high both within/ without those walls, and be would venture to pros. - that every statement made by the Noble Mar night was founded in delusion. Would the s w -. tlemen be deluded by the panacea proposed by the t zsw_ Lord? There was 'not a single promise of the Noble Lord which had ever been fulfilled, nor a single state ment made by him that night, which lie (.11r.
