PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OP I+ol - 127WIDAY, DI Ay It SLAVERY. Lad ITORRINOTON presented a petition from Faversham, in sent. praying for the abolition of slavery. The Duke of )lONTROSE presented a petition from traders, manufacturers, and other inhabitants of the city of Glasgow de precating any Interference with West India property. His I:ord sbip wished the petition to be reed ; but did not pledge himself to support the prayer of it to the full extent of the petitioners' wishes, unless any measures should be brought torwatd injurious to their Interests.—The petition was then read. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had a similar petition to present from the city of Edinburgh, and although every man wished to see a termination put to slavery, he was one of those that thought such an event could only he brought about by a course of gradual and temperate measures; and he also thought that the desired end was delayed by the intemperance of some of those who advocated the abolition of slavery. If any interference with the property of the petitioners should take place, he did not think it consistent with British justice to overlook their claims, which merely asked tot a compensation for any losses which they might sustain. The petition was then laid on the table. Lord It EDESDA LE supported the prayer of the petition. Lord I kLTIIORPE vindicated the conduct of the abolitionists from the charge of intemperance, and concluded by pp resenting pe titions against slavery, trom Nantwich, Northallertoo, West Auckland, and Hastings. CORN LAWS. The Marquis CAMDEN presented a petition from owners and occupiers of land in the neighbourhood of Kent, against any alteration in the Corn Laws; and a similar petition 419113 certain inhabitants of the eastern part of Kent, METROPOLITAN TURNPIKE TRUST BILL. The Marquis CAMDEN also prevented petitions against the Metropolitan Turnpike Trust Bill, from Islington, Kentish Town, Cierkeowell, and one from the trustees of the Hackney turnpike trait. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a similar petition front tote trustees of 3larylebone-road. The Earl of SHAFTF.SIWRY presented petitions to the same *feet from the polishes of St. John, Hackney. and of Illoylebone Lord DACRE moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the Metropolitan Turnpike Trost Bill. His Lord. ship's object was to discharge the order, fur the purpose of having the Bill referred tea Select Committee. The Marquis CAMDEN made some objections to the Bill. After a long conversation, In which the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis Camden, Lords Redesdele, Ellenborough, Rosalyn. and Rodney, took a part, the Order of the Day fur going into a Cow • mittee of the whole House was discharged, and the Bill wu re. /erred to a Select Committee.

On the Report of the Scotch Banking RIII being brought up, Mr. J. P. GRANT laid that the clause allowing banking COM. panics in Scotland to sue and be sued in the name or one of their officers. would be inefficient in consequence of the difference which prevailed between the law of Scotland and that of this country. He had allowed the Bill to arrive at its present stage without ex pressing his dissent to it ; bat he thought the present a proper mo ment to state his objections to the Bill passing into a law. The effect of tilt present Bin would be, to give bankers a privilege which was not conceded to any other persons engaged in commerce. Be would thr•efore give his opposition to the Bill. The LORD AIII'OCATE could see no objection to the Bill. There was in his opinion no Inconvenicloe to be apprehended from giving the banking companies in questicn a power to sue and be sued by one of their officers. After a few words front Mr. P. 3100 RE, the Bill was ordered so be r, ad a third time on Thursday next. ALE-HOL'SES LICENSING BILL. Mr. ESTCOURT brought up the Report on the Ale-hotuks Licensing Bill. fdr. 111.731 E said, in the absence of the Honourable Member for Abingdon (Mr. 3laberly), he lilt it incumbent upon him to call the attention of the House to the present licensing system. The notice wktch was usually given of the meeting of Magistrates was not sufficiently public, and persons who through illness, or any other cause, were prevented from attending on the day appointed to give licenses, were, in consequence of that non-attimdaice, de prived of their licenses for the ensuing year. To remedy that In convenience, his Hon. Friend (Mr. :Beverly) proposed an ad jettrnment dry, %hick was to be bud fifteen days after the origi hal sittlag day, and that no house should be licensed on the ad. journment day which had not been previously granted a license. Ms thought there could not be made any reasonable objection to the introduction of the proposed clause, which would remedy a great Inconvenience. . _ Mr. ESTWURT said, if the Honourable Member for Abing. don had had an opportunity of becoming as well acquainted with the circumstances of grar.ting licenses a' he had, he would not, he thought, suppose there was any necessity fpr the proposed clause. The object of that clarse was, to establish a licensing.day, the effect of which would he, that persona who were apprehensive of rot obtaining a license, would absent themselves from the first day of Session, when Magistrates were present who knew they were persons who had misecodocted themselves, and were unworthy of having their licenses rerewed. The cases were very few in which suffered any inconvenience or injury Irmo not attending the C e tday of Session. lie had an objection to the introduction of clauses into the Bill. If one Honourable :limber introduced one clause, and another Honourable Member another clause, the effect would be that the Bill would be completely tli, , jointed. The Bill as it then stood had been acted upon for three years; its opera. don was known, and he hoped the Honourable Member (Sir. Hume) would not press the clause. The object of the Bill was to continue the law as at present, for one year longer. Sir T. BARING said he would support the clause. Serious injustice had been done already to persons, by licenses being re. fused them. . ........ Mr. Alderman WOOD would support the clause, because he thought it calculated to prevent cruelty and injustice. The Chan. cello, of the Exchequer himself had a case brought before him of a person, who, in consequence of a license being refused him, had been in danger of losing his property, to the amount of 10001. A case of great hardship occurred at Loughborough, In which a person had been deprived of his license, because an individual bad stated to the Magistrates that he had kept his house open on a Sunday. The Magistrates were subsequently informed that they were deceived. Had that Individual an opportunity of being heard before the Magistrates, the error could not have taken place. Evidence was never h•'ard in the country; but in London, where a contrary plan was pumted, persons in very few instances lost their Imre yea. Mr. HUME said, he would submit to the House whether the reasons urged aglinst the till were satisfactory. The clause did Tot interfere with the principle of the Bill, and he crusted the House would agree to it. Mr, EsTFOURT opposed the introduction of the clause. Mr. IIABERIN cod, if an adjournment-day was not per. mitted, in case a license was not signed on the original day of see the applicant for a license bad no remedy. As the Hon. Member ( lir. Estcoun) was so pertinacious against the clause, he would di v id e the flaii.e on it. It was an arbitrary law, which could deprive a man of his property without appeal ; for if an in. dividual was deprived or his license, he was, in fact, deprived of his property. Ile implored the House to support the clause. Mr. MONCK male a few 4bserrat ions in support of the clause. The II thirty was thin eleara. for a division, when there appeared For the clause being read a second time - 23 Against It - . 40 —l2 Majority On our re-admiasion into the Gallery, Mr. 111J3IE was saying he had been requested by a person named Richard Walker. to present a petition to the House, pray ing the House to take Ilia case into consideration. This individual was a mariner, and having fancied himst IF aggrieved, had presented h moth daily at the doors of the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He had latterly attended at 114 (Mr. Home's) door, anti requested him to present this petition to the House. He com plained in his petitios, that his ship and cargo had been seized at Lisbon by some I'ortugncse; and that he had in vain applied to the Foreign Secretary for redress. Ile (Mr. Hume) did not like to refuse to present a petition when requested to do so, and he had, therefore, looked into the documents referring to the case. lie found that It had been attended to by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and that the loss was a consequence of the petitioner's own intliscretiot.. Under these circumstances. he did not feel himself called upon to do more than move that the petition be laid on the table. Ordered to be laid on the table. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. Mr. HUME said he had to present a petition from the inhabi tante of Preston, Lancashire, praying for a removal of those disa bilities impesed on the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and that they might be admitted to a full participation in civil and religious rights. Ordered to be printed. COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. . 31r. 9. WORTLEY presented a petition from the Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, comolyining of certain regulations imposed by the Directors of the College, which were calculated to check the advancement of chirutgi,Al science. The petitioners also totted brat in 1799 the corn of fiftden thousand pounds was given by Government for the purchase of a Museum, the property of the late Dr. Hunter, which was intended for the general use of the Members of the College. They complained that they were not allowed to visit the museum in such a manner as would enable them to dente any profit therefrom, and the objects for which it was purchased were, therefore, frustrated. The petitioners also complained that they we-c excluded f.orn the library of the college, tbnugh they had en undoubted rght to be admitted. On the motion that the petition be brought up, ' Mr. LIU3IE said that he was glad to see the complaints of the petitioners in such good hands. They were certainly suffering from . abuses which ought to be looked into, and he hoped the 11 nnourable Member would, in the course of next Session, cause s ome inquiry to be male. Mr. IV. SMITH said he could bear testimony to the excellent order in which the Museum is kept. After • few observations from Mr. Raton and Mr. P. Mooat, The petition W. 13 read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. M. FITZGERALD said, acing the Ilant,urahle Secretary for the Colonial Department in his place, he woubl ask bitn if he was aware of charges which had appeared in a certain publication, and which had appeared more than once. alleging that it was the intention of the Committee now sitting for the encouragement of emigration. to transport by compulsory means the poor youth of Ireland P In his (milder*, a more ur warrantable charge had ne ver been made. Ile knew many of the individuals constituting that Committee, and had acted with them; and he believed them to be a body of men inemable of such acts of oppression. So far from any compulsion having been used, the case was the very reverse of this ; for it was intended not to allow any persons such aid as would enable them to emigrate, excepting at that express solicitation. He called on the Honourable Mem ber them that he might have an opportunity, as Chairman of the Committee. of denying the charge. Mr. W. HORTON said he was not aware of the charges until, to his utter surprise, they had been communicated to him. They must have proceeded from the worst motives. and unless replied to, I might be productive of the most consequences. Individuals were not allowed to emigrate, unless the request was made in the moat urgent manner. Vrhen the evidence ot the Committee should be laid before the House, it would be so satisfactory as to destroy any effect those gross tnierepreemitatione might have had. IMPORTATION OF CORN.—OO3ISIITTEE. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, ' the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Importation of Corn Bill. On Me resolution being moved, empowering his Majesty. by Otder In Council, to admit foreign corn to be warehous:d to an amount not exceeding 500.000 quarters, Cob WOOD said Gentlemen had urged him not to persist in making arty amendment in this Bill. (Hear.) If he waived his Intention, he mutt be allowed to state, that his opinion respect ing it was unchanged. (Hear, hear.) He still thought the im. portation of foreign corn ought not to be permitted under 61a. He did not wish to limit the quantity of coot that might be imported ; Minister, might make the amount 500.000 quarters, or more. If. however, it was the general wish of Honourable Members that he should abstain front proposing any amendment, he would most willingly accede to that wish. (Hear, bear.) He would rot trouble the House with any further observations. He did not de. sire to make a speech, and he would stand still, therefore, or go on, just as in the discretion of the House might scent most advisable. Mr. CA LA3I AFT then made a few observations, but in a very low tone. We understood the Honourable Gentleman to say, he advised the Honourable 3lember who last spoke to stand etill. It would be better that Ministers had the whole responsibility of the present measures, and there would then, In all probability, be an after occasion, in which they could come forward with additional power. Sir H. PARNELL thought it better to make no further oppo sition at this time, Colonel WOOD said, as it seemed to be the general wish of the House that he should not proceed, he certainly would not. (Hear. hear.) In reference to his own opinion, he must again state that it was unchanged. It was not he who shrunk from the question. Lord MILTON was happy to find his Honourable Friend decline moving his amendment, which would doubtless have excited a long and useless discussion. He, however, thought the mode of proceeding rather singular. Those opposed to the measures ab stained from pressing their opposition, because they thought they should fight their battle better by not moving their amend ment titan by moving it. (Hear.) Whether this would be the case he could not say ; but let the amendment be moved or not, he thought it necessary to guard himself from being included amongst those who thought 655. a fair import price. After a re. mission of 27.000,0007. of taxes, all must acknowledge that 85s. Was a far greater price now than llOs. was in 1815. If the with. holding opposition was any generosity on the part of the agricul. tural interest, he had no objection to it; but if it was with a view to getting better terms—if it was only meant as a reserve for some future and more auspicious occasion—he begged to reject the boon. lie was happy to observe that there was no import price to be tacked to this Bill ; and that the duty was not to exceed that fixed by Art 3, Ciao. IV. lie approved of this, because they would, b, all probability, be taken as the foundation of any after Bill, and they might be fixed too high. Mr. CALA:RAFT was sorry his Noble Friend should throw out his taunting observations on the representatives of a particular in terest in that House. With every disposition to forbear, they could hardly sometimes be borne patiently. They had no desire to tight a better battle, nor did they for themselves wart better terms. He was not a stickler for high prices, but, on the contrary, one who thought 6.5 a. or 70s. the bighest price that corn ought to be allowed to attain. He repeated, that the landed gentlemen of England did not deserve the taunts of his Noble Friend. He was for a free trade in corn, with a protecting duty. lie said, with a protecting ditty ; for we were in that sophisticated state (hear, hear)—thena tutal consequence of having to pay sixty millions of taxes—that we could not have free trade on the same terms as in other countries where they are not taxed so highly. Ile did entreat his Noble Friend to spare his reflections : they cut deeply into the feelings of a class of persons whom he knew his Noble Friend would be the last designedly to wound. Lord MILTON said, he disclaimed any intention of offending any Honourable Members ; but he must say there was no class of men who had • right to hold themselves so high as to be above observations on their conduct. The whole argument as tar as he had understood it, in favour of the corn laws, was grounded on their being for the benefit of the landed interest. When he first spoke on. this question, on the motion of the Hon. Illember for Bridgnorth (Mr. T. Whitmore), be thought our consumption ought to be confined to our own produce. Ile had since then changed his opinion ; for he now thought we ought to enact an import price. But his Honourable Friends contended for a venni. oerating price; and, by a remunerating price, they meant that which would seem ample rents to the landholder, and profit to the farmer. (Cries of o No, no !" answered by cries of " Yes. yes !") If they did not mean :his, what did they mean ? lie had a high respect for the landed interest, but he must repeat, he had a right to observe on their conduct. _ __ _ _... 11r COI.LLT f said a few word, which were inaudible. Lnrd MlLTONexplained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he hid hoped that there would not have been any lengthened discussion at this stage of the business. Ile trusted that the present course, which looked very like an angry discassion of the Corn Laws, would not be pursued. 31r. CA I,CH AFT said, his Noble Friend had observed that there was no class so high as to be entitled to an exemption from having its conduct observed upon. He (3lr. Caterer° would say, there was no clay so low as not to defend itself when attacked. The Nolbe Lord had referred to a remunerating price. lie could tell the Hoble Lord what was the remuneration to which the farmer looked ; he was satisfied with three per cent. on his purchase. money, and five per cent. on the capital he expended on his land. It must be admitted that this was a lower remunerating price than could content most other classes of the community. Mr. %V. L. MADER LY said the original cause of the evils which were apprehended to ensue to the agricultural interest, might be traced to the enactment of such laws as forced the poor land of the country into a cultivation, which was injurious to the interests of the community, as it necessarily tended to a fiuctua , ion of prices. It was impossible, under the circumstances which such a caurse was calculated to produce, to tell what could be estimated as a fair average remunerating price, the extremes of the good and the bad were so distant. Mr. J. AI AnERI,v hoped that the President of the Board of Trade would give some satisfactory pledge that it was the intention of Government to bring on the consideration of the Corn Lows in the next Session of Parliament. The public were very anxioua to be relieved from the state of suspense in which they were at present unpleasantly held by an ignorance of what the real intentions of the Government content plated. Colonel WOOD wished to observe, that when he entered the House he persevered in the intention which he had intimated of introducing an amendment, to the effect of making 655. the price in the proposed measure of importation. He hail not had any communication on the subject with friends who might be sop. posed to have influenced him to decline proceeding with the amend. ment ; but as he perceived the sense of the House disinclined, he did not what to critic:: any pertinacity of opposition to such a feel ing. if the contrary untiment operated on the House, he was then willing and prepared to proceed with his amendment, a copy of which he had in his pocket, and a suitable speech also ready, as well as he could make it. (A laugh.) Mr. BRIGHT made a few observations which we could not hear. B*r W. INOILBY said, that as he was eoanected with a county (Lincoln) largely interested in any measures concerning corn, he thought it right to state, thst a sense of the interests of his consti tuents required that 20s. should be adopted as the protecting duty. After a few words from Mr. PORTMAN, the Bill passed through the Committee without any amendment. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday next. WAREHOUSED CORN. On the Order of the Day that the Speaker leave the cha!r, in order that the House should go Into a Committee on the Ware. li.iitsed Corn Bill, .lr. BEN ETT mu for the purpose of moving sa an amend. merit, that instructions be given to the Committee to raise the duty from 12s. to I7s. The lion. Alember proceeded to make some ob. serrations, which were not diatinculy heard In the gallery. As we could collect their import, he opposed the propoul of reducing the diry, the effect of which would he to deprive the public purse of 76,0001., which sum would he of no service, even of a temporary nature, to the community, as it would sorely be intercepted by the pockets of speculators. It would therefore be unnecessarily taking away from the national funds that amount of money in a manner totally useless. It would not or ly he without utility, but would be also detrimental in fostering a spirit of gambling among the sputa. lotus. which it would be much TOM desirable to repress than to c-mirage. I he amendment having been put, Mr. BUSK ISSON stud that the reason wily the introduction of the Sr. difference WAN miginally contemplated wee. for the purpose of restraining exces.ive importation during the first months after the passing of the Bill. The nec-arity of stuck a precaution would be evident, by the vary fact that the Act also limited the quantity to a certain amount, that the Co•tt Laws should not be compromia. ed. That limitation, however, if ti contingency for calling the Oct into operation did not occur, would hare occasioned a very in. evhsttnieot glut, as it was supposed that vast MOM would be THE BRITISH PRESS. mediately shipped for thin country. The lion. Gentleman hail classed the speculators in corn among the gamblers of the country ; but to hint 131 r. II.) they did not appear to differ in the nature of their speculations from any other description of petsons engaged in a particular speculation. In all such cases it was to be cr pected that the parties concerned would be anxious to promote their indi vidual interests. It should be considered also, that a great part of the corn now warehoused here had been imported principally in In: and lICES, and in a less degree in 1023, and a great part of it purchased at an under-price. By returns recently received, he found that the price at Rottenlam was 355. per quarter, and that sum, with the expenses of bringing it into thetoontry, would leave but very little profit at a duty of 125.; but if the addition of As. were imposed, the effect would be to deter any persons from ven • taring on its importation, particularly when the linii:ation of the Ilith of August was taken into view. lie hoped the House would see the necessity which exired for not defeating the object of the supply, by preventing the operation of the measure introduced to the House for that purpose, and that lion. Members would not throw any impediments in the way. Mr. BARING said, if he thought the difference between the twelve anti the seventeen shillings duty would have the effect sup posed by the Right lion. Gentleman, he should feel great reluc tance to throw any such impediment as was Aepreca.ed to the foil' operation of the measure which contemplated relief. If:le imagined that such would be the case, so far was he from wishing to oppose the principle which dictated the measure for remedying the disttces of the people, that be 'Mould not hesitate in preference of a reduction to an increase of duty. But he conceived the only consequence would be, that the difference of duty which should go into die national treasury would beconte the property of speculators instead of the people. However worthy those speculating gentlemen might be. anti deserving of eulogy, he did not like to till their poci.eta at the expense of the public. lie did not sec why the duty, which in ordinary cases of importation would be seventeen 'Millings, should deviate from that rate. The temporary exigency of this country would not cause a difference in the quantity which was ready to be sent from foreign ports. As to the statement which had been made by the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, that the price of corn at Rotterdam was 355., he (31r. B.) thought there must be some mistake. The letters which had been real the other night from Liverpool stated only 325. as the price at which it could be im ported. If to that sum site duty of 12s. were added, it would give a total of only 415., and that, even with the addition of the 35., would leave a very great profit. Should it be increased by the proposed difference of se. duty, the whole amount, even that of 525., would put a very considerable profit into the possession of those who imported tne commodity. The temporary expedients which were adopted by Government gave rise to, jobbing, and, in spite of all the etihrts of Government, that jobbing would lead to corruption. What he seamed was to relieve the country from its distresses, and not to swell the purses of jobbing Arculators. He should therefore repeat, that lie saw no necessity for altering the ordinary mode of importation, and shottld tlee.ti it better to adopt 1711., or at least 155.; but he could nut perceive any reaaon why 12s. should be deemed a proper amount. Mr. HUSKISSON, in explanation, read an account of the price of corn from the liatteretdm Gazette of the Ist of Mk r, whereby It anpeared to be in English currency 355. 2.1. Mr. ELIAS thought it material to refer to the quality of the corn in the warehouses. IVhen it was considered that it was of an inferior kind, the duty seemed to be rather high titan low, which it was proposed to establish. If the effict of increasing that rate would be to wait for the slow arrival of additional quantities of a better description, it might be thrown into market so short a time before harvest as to affect seriously the agriculturists of this coun. try. lie had. on a former occasion, asserted, and he now repeated the assertion, that the proper considerntion should be, what bounty should be given, and no: what duty should be imposed. A time might come when the people of this country might feel the I.CCCA. sity of procuring foreign corn to meet sudden emergencies, and un less the mode were previously opened, it might be found extremely difficult to get it on the exigency of the moment. The Roust had at the commencement of the session adopted resolutions relatlee to a change in the currency, and it seemed to him the more prudent MUM to wait some time, In order to see the operation of the change. When the Bill was introduced, he had said that he be lieved the effect must necessarily be to lower prices, in concurrence with the depression of the currency, and he did not suppose that corn would form an exception to the general rule of reduction. Mr. T. WILSON thought the Hon. Member foi Wiltshire took a wrong view of the question, and he thought that Govern ment acted properly in adopting such a reduced duty as would not impede but fae,litate the great purpose for which it was intended— the relief of the distressed. On that ground he objected to the amendment of 175., but in so doing he professed that he acted on the most independent motives. Mr. WHIT 310111: addressed the House in PO low a tone that we could not catch many of his observations. We understood him .o say, that if Government did not take sonic speedy measures for settling the question of the Corn Laws, instead of having recourse to temporary devices, that a period would surely arrive when they would And repentance 'no late. Mr. 310NCE. looked to the operation of the change in the cur rency as tending to increase wages and to lower prices, and he trusted that, by a natural transition, there would be a reduction s.f taxes. lie thought the House would act well if it were to try whether the best mode of conferrirg benefit on the agricultural and all classes of the community, would not be to moderate the scale of taxation. Mr. BENETT explained. The gallery was then cleared for a division on the amendment, which we understood was not pressed. Upon our re-admission, we found the House in Committee. Mr. CHAPLIN objected to the admission of oats, which he did not think would be productive of any advantage to the dis. tressed manufacturers. Mr. HUSK ISSON referred the Hon. Member to the proceedings of the Manchester Committee, by which he would perceive that the relief extended to the sufferers consisted chiefly of oatmeal. The advantage of giving Government the discretion of allowing the importation of oats as well as wheat was obvious. The clause affixing a duty of 121. was then agreed to. Mr. STANLEY sii•l he retained the opinion he had before expressed, that the propositions of Government would only afford partial relief to the distressed manufacturers. The measure, how. ever, was valuable, because it was a measure of cmciliation ; and if Parliament refused to assent to it, the effect would he to excite considerable irritation in the minds of the sufferers. He thought, however, that the measure might be rendered infinitely more va. luable if the suggestion which he had thrown out last night was acted upon. He was so deeply impressed with the value of the pro position then made, that his object in rising was to move the insertion of a clause to that effect. The measure proposed by Ministers would affect the price of corn generally, and he did not mean to deny that it would &front partial relief ; but the objection was, that the relief would be frittered away over a large space, instead of being directed to the immediate alleviation of the existing distress. It was with a view of localizing the relief that he should move a clause to the effect, that, upon a certificate from three members of any of the local Committees, acting for the relief of the distressed in the manufacturing districts, stating that the Committee had purchased a quantity of bonded corn, his Majesty's Ministers should be allowed to return such Committee a sum of money equal to the whole duty paid on the bonded corn purchased by said Committee; the said sum to be applied f ur the relief of the distressed classes in the manufacturing dis.. tricts. The Hon. Gentleman stated, that he had nn objection to make any verbal alteration in this clause; and he thought its in. section, besides affording more direct relief to the distressed, would tend to reconcile the agricultural interest to the proposed measures, because it would prevent the price of corn from being so generally reduced, u if no such clause had been introduced. Mr. HUSKISSON complimented the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Stanley) on the manner in which he brought forward his pro. position ; opnn principle, however, he was compelled to differ from the Honourable Gentletnan, and to point nut to the House the consequences of the prnpased measure. lie objected to applying the tax on corn to the relief of the manufacturers, more than any other tax. Such a precedent would lead to the most obvious ill consequences. It should be considered, too, that any measure of relief afforded to the distressed, was a diminution of the poor rates in proportion to the amount of the relief, because it was coinpul. spry on the Inhabitants of the distressed districts to support their own poor. Now it did not clearly appear that it was in the manu. factoring districts that the pease rates fell the heaviest. It was well known,that the rate yeas different in different districts. In some districts, where there was not an nnutual degree of distress, the poor rates were 12s. in the pound, whilst the poor rates did not ex ceed de. in the pound in some of the distressed districts. Ile could find parishes in Sussex where there were• no manufacturers, and yet where the poor rates amnuntecl to four times A% much in propor. tion to the rental as they did In Manchester. The proposition of the Hon. Gentleman was full of difficulties, and was objectionable in principle, as well as impracticable in its details. It was inter. feting with a system (•hi., poor rates) which, though full of abuses, had proved at the saute time productive of much comfort and of considerable advantage. Ile therefore considered that Parliament would do well to leave the subject as it stood. He was convinced that public benevolence. which was already so beneficially displayed, would not slumber—(hear.)—and aided by the Operation of the proposed measures, he thought it would ultimately produce the best elT•ets.—(Filear, hear.) Sir J. WROTTESLEY thought the distress had arisen from the measures introtluced by tt inistersrelating to the currency of the country, and feared that publi c benevolence would be found to af. ford very inadequate relief. Nor did he think the proposed mea sure! calculated to afford any considerable relief. He •hought that Miuutters should get a vote of credit, to enable them to appropriate any suin of money they deemed necessary to the alleviation of the distress. Mr. Secretary PEEL feared that the Hon. Gentleman f 3lr. Stanley's) proposition. would only serve as an opening to num. berless frauds. He also thought that it would operate injuriously, by deranging the local markets. The three objections he stated to the Hon. Gentleman's prognsition on the last night. lie thought re mained unanswered. The relief which the Hon. Gentleman pro. posed could only be partially applied, and he proposed to apply it in an indirect mode. But the grand objection was the precedent. In any future instance of distress—and in a great country like this, there must always be partial distress—the cry would be, you can give us relief by taking off the ditty on foreign corn. The object of all parties in the late discussiors seemed to be not to pre judice the future arrangement of the Corn Laws, but this propo. sition was calculated to operate strongly on the future decision of that important question. Mr. RARING said that, as the manufacturing towns were situ ated la the interior of the country, and the botided corn was , linost all in the outports, the practical execnen of the lion. (tent s proposition seemed almost impossible. As to the prop which bad been thrown out for voting a sum of money for the re. lief of the manufacturers, he could not agree to such a proposition unless a came of eat re:ne distress was made out. lletwral tI,I4COY NI.; (lid not think that the grant of a sum of mo;:es, was more ohiPctionahle than the proposed measure of open ing the ports. Neither the one measure nor the other, he thought. should be resorted to unless • ease of extreme distress was made out. After a few observations from Mr. Stanley. he consented to withdraw his motion for the insertion of the proposed clause. The other clauses were then agreed to, the ['lose resumed, and the Report was ordered to he hrought up on Wednesday next. DEB I'OR AND CRGDITOIt A ItRA NGEM ENT BILL.

Ills object, he said, was to move the insertion of a clause eaten ling the provi sions of the Rill to Ireland. Ile should defer this motion, how ever, until the Bill was brought up to be engrossed. Mr. BROGDEN then brought up the Report, and the Bill was ordered to he engrossed on Wednestliiv. ‘VES'nIINSTER IMPROVEMENT BULL.

Mr. 11U3IE said he had great doubt as to the propriety of ex tending the system of Macadamizing to narrow streets. Mt. ARBUTHNOT said it wag only done when two-thirds of the parish agreed. Mr. 11U3IE thought that the inhabitants of narrow streets should be precluded from haring those streets. Macadamized. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said it was optional with the inhabitants.

BRITISH SHIPPING AND TONNAGE. Mr. HIUSKISSON rose, in pursuance of the notice he had given, to move for a Return of the number of Ships built in the Britiah dominions between 1814 and 1823, both inclusive, distin. gibing the number in each year, and the amount of their tonnage. Ile observed, that in the course of the last Session of Parliament, when, to say the lcaat, the trade of this country was in a state of prosperity. and when he was sure there was full employment for all the merchant shipping of the kingdom. the Hon. Member for liramber (Mr. Irving) frequently indulged in making certain oracular pmgnoaticutions foreboding the ruin of the maritime and commertud greatness of this country, as growing out of the mea sure which hail been then recently adopted by Parliament. These dentinc: , tions, whether from the tone of mystery in which they were delivered, or from any other circumstance, did not certainly at the dine mike any cominle-able impression either in this House or on the robin. mind. But recently there had been a variety of n p e e c tii tv ir , ; , : i p o r i e t s , e !e n t i e .n ti rt f o ro r n some p London, a cra n d o n ai s so , who m w esreevienrtailmactoe Corporate y co por Commercial Bodies belonging to the rest trading towns in the country, or in which they stated their apprehension that the shipping interest co in un w tr i f ic w h as th ln e saecsulartiety of h of decor,, country was in y,andthattheywer were in a si tuation conse quence likely to be undermined, and destined to be exposed to im minent hazard and danger. When such impressions had been made in quartets where means were possessed of accurate observa tion, he trusted that it did not require any apology on his part, if he claimed the attention of the house while he adverted to a sub ject of so much importance to the public, as that necessarily was which was connected with the maritime power of the country. (Hear, hear). Now, lie was of opinion that these apprehensions which had been so expressed were altogether unfounded; and he must claim the indulgence of the House while he detailed those circutristances, the knowledgeof which convinced him that he was right in that opinion. That these details might be, and in deed must be, very dry and uninteresting, he was perfectly aware ; but sure lie was, that upon a subject of such importance, it was essentially requisite that the fears and apprehensions that were en tertained should, if possible, be entirely and immediately removed. Ile therefore hoped for the indulgent attention of the House. (Hear, hear.) The object of the navigation system of this country he took to be, in the first place, to create and maintain In this country a great commercial navy. The second object, and one not less im portant, in his judgment, than the fomer, wasthat of preventing any other State from engrossing too great a share of die carrying trade of the world. In the acting upon that principle, the policy of Eng. land had always been, as a general rule of navigation, to state to other countries that they should not bring to this country the pro. ductions of any third power, but to confine themselves, in their in tercourse with Great Britain, to the bringing in their own ship ping those productions only which their own country yielded. !'here certainly were exceptions to this rule ; but the principle of it was the foundation of our navigation system. It was obvious that the motive for the establishment of this rule was, ift the fi rst place, to provide that the carrying trade should be divided as equally as possible among the other ma ritime States, and that it should not be engrossed by any one of them : and in the case of those Powers which entertained commer. cial relations with this country, but had not any shipping of their own, or from any other cause did not bring their productions to this country, it was by this rule provided that England should have the exclusive privilege to do so, instead of allowing them to be brought by shipping belonging to any other Poster. When he stated that the first object of the policy of the Navigation Laws was to create and maintain a great commercial marine in this country, he thought he might at the same time state, without fear of contra diction, that this purpose could not possitly be obtained by any restrictions or prohibitions, however judicious they might be; but that the great foundation of any power tote created by a trade in shipping, must be to find employment for that shipping. (Hear, hear, heat.) Without such employment, that was, in other words, without an extensive commerce, and without a great capital, which could alone sustain and invigorate that commerce, all rules and re gulations would be of little tivail. (Hear, hear. hear.) Whatever therefore - contributed to increase and extend the general commeice of the country, must incidentally, he would say, almost necessarily and directly contribute to extend our navigation. These two great elements of our power and wealth were necessarily intimately in. terwoven. Ha did not say that their interests were always identi fied ; he knew full well that everything which interfered with the free eniptoyment of capital in commerce was more or less disadvan. tageous to those who employed their capital in that branch of trade. But he admitted, and was perfectly ready to state, that the regula. tions of our navigation system, however just, necessary, and salts. tary, ;must more or less act as a restraint upon that freedom of action. At the came time, however, he was equally bound to state, that those regulations were founded, as it appeared to hint, upon what was the first and highest ground for' the laws of every state (Mar, heat, hear); he meant, political necessity. Meat, (tear.) That necessity of providing for our future safety and defence; the necessity of giving protection and security to those numerous co. loni al possessions which were scattered throughout all the seas of the world, and in parts so remote from the mother country as to render requisite a more instant defence titan she could give by any other means ; the necessity of maintaining and protecting our coin. !tierce from all those vicissitudes to which it was exposed in time of war and other political difficulties; the necessity of maintaining that ascendancy upon the ocean which had contributed to give this country that proud eminent station which she now held in the world, more than any other circumstance. He therefore was as ready as any man to admit that they ought on all occasions to look to the interest of that state necessity as uppermost on their minds when eair the intervals of commerce and navigation could not be recoil ; cilia. (Hear, hear, hear.) And where they could not be altoge ther reconciled, he had no difficulty in stating it an his opinion that the interests of comtneece ought to give way (llear, hear), and that the interests of navigation ought to have the preference. (Hear.) Upon this question he hoped lie had placed himself fairly berme the House, and If any of those measures of his Majesty's Govern ment which had been recently adopted, consonant to this mode of viewing the subject, had in any way contributed to that dangrr which was so strongly apprehended, he should have imposed upon himself no slight task in attempting to vindicate himself for the part he had taken. But he must at the same time say, that any Pt) stem which cramped commerce ins degree beyond what was ne cessary fur the protection of navigation, was in itself an unnecessary interference. Ile must say, apart from the consideration of the principles upon which th ese l aws o f nav i gat i on were f ounded, the House was bound to take care not to depress one branch of in dustry more than another ; not to treat the mode of employing capital in any one pursuit, in ordeal's give an undue preference or advantage over another. The questions, therefore, which the House had to- consider were simply these :—firat, whether the alterations which had been made in the system of our navigation laws had or had not exposed those two great public interests to jet). )tardy and hazard? And 2dly (for this was a question of considerable importance, and not undeserving the serious inquiry of the House. sat h qii, a :l d srietrees t ; , e ieei c a ttoi lseftirien:rithaiennierti interests , which c C n ah l yw as ou peculiar i t d he acti were, mmiityn entitle etri,:needn them ep u mi p a o ct n e do et them h t h e e e cn i . 10 ni n i.i f anyhouse? o f the And alterationsthirdly, t thin h a had l 10 beenuite o u ght niac ; e .tot they y - It ad acted from a mere gratuitous desire to make experiments and Motivations, or whether these alterations were not called for by cir mig?ht have Now a , r b i e sea c if ti t e hr i r .in li ed ad etimstances, anti t's.t their adoption was in order to obviate and avoidpersis butte him I 3wtig: him ieenl ti r o: itit i; t iitygri h ;: e ahte r twfrfos i el: n i ec ; saeol o toiduw n i:or:a v ehrr et e otei :lc : n o rt:taeoyiri c ilaw e delt whichy pursued ecy i kfe n sar,ly q anp i ti i waeh t rhi i al o w:p n itsei twmti t et e nhe tetiwh.o t heir political sosrteepnm wroionw:principles f tpahlv p e rmiteseo ne c es s ityuNarneoaddr vigati ly outlines. It was necessary that he should do this, in order to see what were the alterations, sod the necessity of them, that had been made in that system. Now, he apprehended that if they looked at die history of the Navigation Laws of this country, the gr-at might that fisheries. oes.ub e t h osen.trc y finallyeo. l l tai a ni ws i cy( h ri e,i i r n e:ci v ree i charter of which was the Act of the 12:h Charles 11., they would ippicg e a e n in w i t a ow t m o as ol v r e r o ei s;o let t a f l e dy :e d h . n e ee co s m u T h I he t :, w e r a w e s g l t i t i which oast common of nature, open a lik e to a ll the nations of ed a the of world. the It was therefore the interest and volley of this country ro say that all the produce of that ocean which was required for the consump tion of this kingdom should be procured by the industry of British subjczN ;I , A h. , British &Lipping. In that 'Art, therefore, of the navigation system no alteration had been made, nor could be by any prudent man suggested, and therefore he might dismiss It by one word--that was to say, by observing that this was a part of the policy for creating a cosninercial marine which had not been altered Another, and the second object which the navigation laws had in view, was to give the shipping of this eountry the exclusive empl oy , ment in all that porti on o f tra d e w hi c h wan ca ll ed the ceseee ; trade. When these lass were passed, that trade embraced only te; shore. of England ; but since this country had become etinie eted with Scotland and Ireland, it had embraced the while of :he Braw l tales. Ile thought everybody who reflected on the aulij , rt e dd4 agree with him in the opinion that there could not be, either cow or at any time hereafter, any motive for any man to preppie a n e l, teration, an regarded this most important branch of our em, interest. lie might therefore dismiss that part of the Nyerem, by neying that it remained unaltered, and mum do an, so long an th e ; had any Irish to maintain a commercial marine. The there head 4 the subject was the European trade. Now the prineiele of 09, policy, as regarded that trade, was that any shipping of any o at " of Europe was to be at liberty to bring the productio n of tee( rout. try, or any other production ( with the exception of a certain number of what were called enumerated articles, which embraced thine me e k formed all the bulky articles that constituted the principal thi ng , in commercial trading. and which required • great quantity ijf. shipping), to this country. With respect to the enumera eil articles the provision of the law was, that they should o n l y b e brought u; this country, either in British ships, or in the ships of that p ag e cular country whose productions those articles were. Such was th e state of the law as regarded the trade with European pewees. from the time of Charles the Second up to a recent date. There ea t however, an exception with respect to Holland and the Nether: lands. It would be recollected that these navigation laws wer e ca only framed for the maintenance of our marine, hut from a jeal ouse of the great power of Holland, which at that tim e h a d the 'settee envy in point of commerce over all the states of Eurone. It nee therefore, that the Act of Charles the Second bore more ri ;1; with regard to the Dutch than any other nation, and no goods are a ; allowed to be imported in Dutch ships to this country. Th e , came, in the fourth place, the Navigation Lawn, as they applied to the other three parts Of the world—Asia, Africa, and Arnett., The law provided that no production of any on e o f t h ose pane of the world should be brought to this country from any otiose quarter of the world, except in British ships, and only in Britt* ships from that part of the world of which the article was a pew ee . lion. The Lb part of the Navigation Laws was that which related to the British Colonies. He would state generally what the principle was—namely, for supporting and eying employment in them e , rine of this country. For the purpose of 'which, this country yd to the Colonies, that they should not send any part of their emcua tions to any country except this, and in ships of this country onl y; and that they should receive nothing of which they stool in need, except from this country, and in British shipping. He had thus gives what he considered to be a fair statement of the Navigation :ewe without going Into any srguaient upon them that had exited ie this country from the period of the 12th of Charles the Second, with but few exceptions, he might say almost up to the peace of Amiens. The House would recollect that a very great change in the state of tile stead had grown out of the Anterican war: and perhaps he might be permitted very shortly to staie what that change was, and to advert to some particulars which made that change inevitable. The war of 1735, commonly called the seven years war, was, as far as related to thin country anal to the !lo o s e of Bourbon—that was the kingdoms of France and Spain —s war of colonial prejudice. It was a war commenced in colonial claims, and which continued till, by British valour and British lAA and finally by the capture of the Havaanah, this country became ail. treat of the colonial destinies of the western world. What use this country had made of her success, it was not now neets•ery to inquire. But having obtained them, England had completed. as she conceived, the greet object sought for, which was the exteasion of her commerce. Now, he must say that he thought, from the peace of 1763, if Gentlemen would look into the history Gf +se ro. ceedtngs of the then Board of Trade and of this country, Ny would trace in those proceedings notch of the immediate cavil which led to the war with America, and the separation of those Co. lollies which now constituted the United States from this kingdom, The object of the peace of 171i3 appeared to be the rigorous at d severe enforcement of the principles of the navigation system as applied to the Colonies. Every little case that was brought to the notice of this country, and which 'hewed a desire of the part of the Colonies for the enjoyment of communicatim with other parts of the world, was met by a constant use. cession of new laws, intended to interfere with the spirit of enterprise thus evinced. Such, as if any ship coming from the Co. lonics were stranded on the coast of Ireland (for Inland then, for all commercial purposes, was treated as much liken colony as them. selves) the compelling them to send to England for another ship, and not permitting the cargo to he landed in Ireland. This severity on the part of the mother country created more alienation of fed. ing than anything else, and in all probability, if a different course bad been adopted, and England had attempted more prudently to have adapted her laws to circumstance, such • course might tote prevented that rupture which finally tookl place, and which 1 et her her best colonial possessions. Ile was aware that the cause of that rupture had been uceibed to the hostility shown to the power as. aimed by this country, to impose taxes on the colonies: but he thought if the House were to trace the proceedings, f this come, towards those colonies, train 1713 to 1772, they would find, haw. ever much the question of taxation might have been the immediats cause of the explosion, that the mine was previously charged, and the train laid, and that much of that explosion grew out of the sever ty anti unbending conduct of this country, in endeavouring to enforce the argent of the Navigation Laws with respect to those colonies. He had thus stated the nature of those laws and thee effects ; which, at the time he was alluding to, were founded in at. tempts to impede the apitit of enterprise that was growing In those colonies, and which the individuals of that portion of the world could not easily brook. Certainly, by pursuing this coure, this country was brought into • situation of much difficulty and embarrasonient ; and it ultimately ended in the arrangement of the differences between her and the newly independent States of Anne. rice ; and the terms of peace to which she was then compelled to submit were such, as he trusted, the Crown of Great Britain weed never agan be exposed to. It also ended with much disparagetne t to the credit of England as respected Ireland : for Ireland would re longer submit to the rigorous and exclusive system of the Corn. menial Laws ; anti as this country was obliged to yield up her an. thority over her former Celenies, and acknowledge their indepen. deuce, so she was obliged to capitulate with Ireland, and comply with her terms of commercial arrangement. It he had trespassid upon the patience of the House while going into detail, it was patty because he thought it bore upon the present measure; awl tee in ference he would draw from it was, to show that it was a part of political wisdom not to wait uutil danger had come, hut that it was more statesman-like to let prover principles be administered in time to a pernicious system. To those who endeavoured to show that the application of any new measure would bring on difficul. ties, it was, from such a statement as he had made, fully shown that greater disadvantages might be the result of a retardment of sack measure; and that it became them to introduce such reformations in the system as the circumstances and situation of the country, and of other nations might at the titne suggest. But the peace of America became necessarily a great baulk to the navigation system of this country. There had arisen such a country as America ia the New World, having asserted and made good its independence, and having the interest of a navigation of its own to look after, and a commerce of its own to protect and encourage. Therefore it was impossible, perhaps, unless this country hail determined to have no intercourse with them, to continue those Navigation Law., which had been so rigorously enforced against them while in the situation of colonies, particularly that part of the system which declared that no production of Asia, Africa, or America, should be imported into this country except immediately from the county where th se productions were yielded. After the peace of 1783, and before the General Congress hail finally settled the system of the Govern ' ment of the United States (which dill not take place till 1787), the separate States began to legislate in that spirit of hostility to this country which had been generated during the remedial I war; and they made code of laws regarding trade accordant I with this feeling of exasperation. In some places they excluded trade with this country altogether ; in o.hers they imposed a very enormous duty on all articles from England ; but in alio( the States there was a stroag feeling evinced not to maintain' any commercial intercourse with the late mother country. Tide went on to the year 1786 or 17117, when the General Conferees met, and when a general system of an; iinational wide Was laid down. But what wax their system as applied to this country ? Why they laid down this rule—that a ll f ore i gn s hi pp i ng entering their ports should pay the duty of half a d o ll ar a ton ( a f te rwards raised to a solo ) more than their own sliipping • and that all goods imported from abroad ahnuld pay a duty o f At per cent. over and above the ditty paid on goods imported by their own shipping. This system, which they borrowed from their ancestors, was soon felt by this country to be extremely inconvenient, and many consultations weee held by the Board of Trade, the merchants, arid others interested, to consider what Was to be done to counteract it. Vartou plans were pr o p ose d. O ne was , to g i ve a bounty on the export of all goads sent to these new stales of Arteries. mates 3 Another was, to lay a duty on goods if; sent abroad In A ships ; and there was also a third proposed ; but every one of these methods, when they came to be inspected, were open to so many objections, and would, It was ascertained, have proved so injurious to the shipping interest of the countyy. that after their being .

The Americana, however; had, he thought, had the best of this arrangement (bW. hear), from a reason in which he thought the Navigation Lawn o f this t country, instead of serving us, were prejudicial to mg cammer• cial interests. This country still adhered to that part of the system which declared that nothing should be imported into this toilet/ front any part of Europe in foreign ships. except it were the too suction of the country to which those ships belonged. Anicticit had strictly retaliated that law upon us. In the trade of America with this country, an American ehip had a great advantage; heel"'"" loading for England. it might take the principal part of the cargos'* the production of this country, and then in addition put any " bee article of foreign production for any other part of the world; whereas s a t n ic E h n a g c l o is u h rs tt e li : tp so w t o h u a l t tl a b n e a r m eN e t r r i t a i res t rained ship,by km ve s ri o ,oo f America Lulight t t roz out ninety nine pars in a hundriel, the production of Greet Brice tain, and might tale oat wine, brandy, &c. for any ember part of the world.
