GAS LIGIIT CMIP.LNV BILL. Earl HAREW(B/D presented a petition form a place, the name of which we could not hear, praying that the General Gas Light Company's Rill may not name into • Law. The Ladd ROtsSfeliN presented similar petitions front the Gas Light (kip ponies of Worcester and Wolverhampton, which were severally laid on the table. On the egad reading of the General Gu Light Company being moved,— The Earl of LAIIDERDA LE proposed an amendment, that instead of its being then read a second time, it should be read a second time that day six months. The Noble Earl observed, that there was Audi, any !own that had heard of the progress of this Bill through their Lordah pa' House, that had itat petitioned swinge it. lie thought It could not he necessary to "hew their Lordship' the impolley, upon general prineiples, of granting charters to corpora tions foe the purposes of trading; but respecting the. measuute he had specific objections to *. , independent of the general feeling lie en tertained against chartered companies. The object of the projectors of this bill, es well as dust all others similarly situated, was to get a good aterest for their capital, and on that account it behoved their Lordships to WA with peculiar jealousy to their proposal. This comparty,so anxious were they to make good interest of their money, ?equated to be pail for lightinr the streets, when it 13113 nOtOrOtill that all local core panics lighted the streets gratis, ex pecting to be paid sufficiettly for the employment of their capital by lighting the shops. He entreated of their Ironishipa to reflect that by this 11111 the subscribers were not obliged to advance • adnN before the extraordinary powers that the WICIIMITC contem plated were given to them; and when they h id gut thew powers they small go to the Stostk Exchange and sell their shares at six and tares per rent. profit. The proper mode, in his opinion, was to allow those interested in lighting a town with gas to be clod con- Merton. The Noble Earl concluded by moving that the 11111 be rtid a second time that day six months. The Earl of LI31I;Itll.K oh .uurved„ that this Bill had been in. uoductd to the consideration of the other House tit' Parliament so early as February, and no opposition was made to it, neither was any petition presented against it. He slenied that this Bill catuld interfere with other Companies. or act as a monopoly. 'rite clause that :tad been so much objected to, relative to the liability . 21 the Company to be suet fir debts, he would propose to be altered, so as to make the Company responsible for debts, like any other char ter:sr Corpotat ion. The projectors of this measure were also ready to exempt soy town from the operation of the Bill, which should feel itself aggrieved by it. Ile did nut think that any strong ob. jct.:ion had been made to the principle of the Bill, and he hoped' their Lordships stoul4l let it go into a (011111Ottee. The Earl of ROSS'S N could not see the prudence or rap e dieacy of encouraging Joint Stock Compar.ier, excepting in ex [tuna:tory and special cases. Ile particularly subjected to that dense which compelled executors to pay up the balance of sub. scriptiona due from deceased persons, before they paid any other debt, and even to the pr, jt dice of the heir. Ile did not like the mode proposed In the Bill as to suing tor debts. The Company would be empowered to levy • distress for debts, as landlords sued their tenants, which he thought a highly objectionable clause. The Ead of LIMERICK explained. fhe IAMill) CHA NC ELIA flt quitted the Woolsack, and said Ice thought a more objectionable Iltll could not he intrisl.tced to their Lordship: notice; and that it wax considered so by the coun try was proved by the number of petitions presented against it. There was a practice gaining ground, which he thought called loudly far legislative prohibition. Persons were in the habit of go. tag about this town I . get incorporated charters; and their object was to oiler shares of them for sale before they hail any character or stability, making a bubble to serve their own purpose. lie had his iloubts whether It would not be right for Parliament to make hull and void such contracts, sad prevent them from taking place in future. The present Bill was alit sweeping nature, for its ope- ration was to extend to all pans of the kingdom excepting bon- Jon and places ten miles mood it, and the two Universities , . It had been said that this measure had passed the other !louse of Par. haunt without opposition, or without a petition being presented against it. That was certainly extisionlinary, for the uonuent the BM got into their Lordships Howse, the table was covered with petitions against it. He would particularly call their Lordship: at:anion to one clause, that very magnificently stated the capital WAS cut to exued • million, hut whether the Company was to pos ausse one farthing capital, neither this nor any other claitse in the Goll informal their Lordships ; hue it could nowhere be timn.l that any quantity of capital must be invested. It was true there were siseriptisen papers handed about, with the names of subscribers or one side, and the sums they subscribed on the other; but their Lordships would recollect that subscription and payment were two very different things. to laugh.) The clause which ren dered it obligatory on executors to pay the balance of sub ecriptions of persona deceased, who had entrusted them with cared their property, was to his mind moat injurious and un just. All the creditors of the deceased, and even his heir. was to be prejudiced for the beetle of this incurporation. Ile did not approve of the mode proposed for any injury the 'onipany might exne.nice from individuals. They were not to be taken before a Dlagistrate, but the persona were to be involved in total darkness, which was not only injurious to them, but to the public. The way in which the l ompany were to be sued was highly ob.!ce tionabls. Their creditor, would have • riot .t of distress twin the:r property ; and should any of their Lordships ever become creditors of this Incorporation, he believed the plan prof-used for the recovery of the debt would distress then more than the legal peaces" would distress their debtors i for they could levy a distress oil) against their garsimeters, portable and inflammable air, and serparatue of that description. But then it was said, Oh, hut the subscriber see liable to the amount of their subscriptions." But be would ask how could execution be taken against the subscriptions. It was many years before he ventured to propeme to their Lordships, land he took credit to himself for having proposed it,i that these joer.t stock companies should sue and be sued by their treasurers. But If the treasurer of this new corporation amulet have no treasure, east could be done ? There ought to be a retool of the names of all th.: suireceibera, and they should be individually liable. In fu sure. whenever Parliament empowered the Crown to Inert' these join stock owtspanies, it should take care that they were made for the benefit and not to the detriment of the public. It was • most hoportant question, whether these joint stock companies were for t!ur Ira exit of the public or not; and coasequently, whether they au.glit to he created ? In particular rues they might be fur the in. ter: ss. tit the public ; but iefinite care should be taken that these c etiolation* were not instituted to the ruin of individuals. It was t .r their L o rdships to say whether the Bill could be so improved in the Committee as to be a fit Bill to pass, or whether it must be sent Lack to the projectors, to be by them so altered as to make it, on a future occasion, a feasible measure. 1 The question was then put on Lord Lauderdale's amendment, wlioth W 33 carried without a division. The Bill was in consequence hue.

The CHA NCELIA HI of the EXCHEQUER obiterved, that as the subject of the Beer lhll had been incidentally brought forward, he would state •n the House the course he meant to take on the subject ; and althn ;;;t lie was perfectly satistied of the snootiness of the princit le of the new arrangement of the duties, yet, as an many pre ta i ice, existed against it, and es the objections were not likely to heaven% me by discussion, he should exclude it altogether from the Ihll ; but he should still itemise in preserving all that part of the Bill that related to the retail trade. (liver, hear.)

BHOWNE presented a petition from the victuallzrs of Queenshormigh, against the WV 11111. Ur. ISEItNA I. pr.:witted it petition from G. Brown, against the Iker lull JAMAICA (ALIEN 11114.). I.l'Sll I NUT( IN rose to present a petition, as important. in his opinion. as any winch for a long time had been laid talon: Par liament. If the filets stated in the petition were founded hi truth, it was one than which none inure imperiously demanded from thejJus. tire of the Home: redrees to the parties aetgrieved ; and he would go farther io saying, that they would call for the visitation of I di luent on those by whom lti;ury and injustice had been inflicted. In presenting the petition to the !louse, he would merely confine him self to the statement id its contents. The petition came from hauls Celeste !Refine and John J. Escuffery, both free-men of colour of the island of Jamaica. There the had been horn—there they hail been brought up aced lived all their lives; they had been married Ctere, and up to the periodof their forcible deportation front the idand had possessed an irreproachable character. Besides, they had 'wen eight years employed in the militia of the island of Jamaica, half of which time they were serjennta In the service. The House was RW• re that the qualification of being a free British subject was rte. cesesary for every person engaged in this wavier. Before he stated the facts of the petition, he was desirous of putting the !louse in possession of some facts connected with it. In the early part of May last year. &petition was presented by three thousand free men of colour, of the Island of Jamaica, to the Legislative Council of that island, praying that they might be al'oostted to the elective franchise ; that they might be permitted to serve on juries, and be come overseer* of poor-houses and other institutions, to the sup port of which they contributed their fair proportion of taxes. This petition was signed by the prevent petitioner'. It was supported i. the Council of Jamaica by the advocacy of M. Barrett and others, but a Bill granting the privileges which the petitioners solicited wan thrown cut on a second reading. From the rejection of the petition until the period of the arrest nothing of importance occurred ; but on the 7th of October the two petitioners were apprehended. The wartime for then imprivinnient stated them to be aliens. Ite.ore the intesition of Government could be fulfilled a writ of Harem, Corps: was sued out, to try the fact whether they were aliens or The (thief Justice of the isle of Jamaica and the two assist. ant Judges of the island were present. The certificates of their birth, of their baptism, of their residence in the island, were pro duced at the iris!, and after tllle fullest and most satiefnetory tigation they weft declared not to be aliens, but free-horn British subjects, and entitled to all the privileges of them. These were nut men. it should be remembered, of low later, but nien of re spectable rank and station ice life. The neat day after their seizure a manorial wax presented by thirty respectable Inhabitants,amongst whom were six Magistrates, one 3lr. Ilislop, Member of the Council, and one the l'rovost Alamhal-General, bearing testimony to the irreproachable correctness of their characters. On the 2:oh of October they were released, and permitted to return to their families, and when bail to any amount was offered for their appear anew on any occasion that it might be required, the reply of the King's Bench was, " require no bail—there is no charge." (Hear, hear.) Things remained so until the evening of the 211th of November, when they were again arrested on the same charge. One would think the first and bounden duty of Government, under such circumstances. was to direct inquiry to ascertain the nature and extent of their guilt, more particularly after the previous acquittal of the Court of King's Bench. But, no ! without inquiry—with oat the means or opportunity of defence—without even the oppor tunity of canmunication with their friends—they weremened on the very evening of their arrest, carried on board ship, transported, and landed on the island of St. Domingo. (Ilan, hear.) What centre could be offered for such treatment ? Was it in the alight variation of a shade of colour in the persons thus aggrieved? Ile WAS sure no person in than House would have the courage to make such an accidental circumstance • pound of in justice, or a justification of oppression. (Hear, hear, hear.) When the petitioners were put on board the vessel, sonic of their friends got into a boat, rowed towards the vessel in which the peti tioners were, and prayed for permission to coniniunicate with The reply from the vessel was, that all communication was forbid den. The ship inunnliately sailed, and the petitioners, as he had already said, were landed at St. Domingo. Destitute of every means of support, he would leave the House to judge wlmt must have been their probable fate there ? He held in his hand the Ilaytian Gazelle, in which was stated the reason why they were not immediately committed to prison on their landing. Fortunate ly for them a Jamaica newspaper, containing an account of their trial and acquittal in the Court of King's Bench was produced, and this record of their innocence was the alleged reason *shy they were permitted to go at large. Thus situated, they . might have starved wet, it not for the kindness and charity of Brit ish merchants who supp orted them there. They were advised to petition the Council of Jamaica for relief : they did so. In this petition they stated their readiness to meet any charge that might be preferred against them in every way. It was presented in 3larch last, but the Counril of Jamaica did not condescend to give any answer in reply to their petition, or in any manner to notice it. The peti tioners felt that they could not kager trespass on the kindness and hospitality of those who had hitherto supported them at St. Do mingo. They had with them some valuable rings and watches, which they sold, and with the proceeds of them they paid their passage to this country. They were now three weeks in England. Ile had thus stated the facts of the petition without exaggeration ; he called on Government to justify, if they could, this tingrant breach of the rights of free subjects. If his etatement was nut cor rect, be called on flovernment to prove its falsehood. Ile 1"r. Lashington) had examined and cross-examined, with the utmost zeal and ability that he possessed, aid he did not and could not produce the slightest variation ma single tittle of their statement. l'he circumstaaces of the case demanded the fullest and most com plete investigation. If they were aliens after the lira acquittal they had obtained, they should not be visited with so are and oppressive punishment on the second charge and for the same offence. Time offence was one on which, in the first instance. they were I wholly acquitted ; and, in the second, wholly unheard ; and pu niahed without being heard. (Hear, hear.) Ile had inquired at. tentively into their characters, and found t h em to be irreproachable. This was anise. he would repeat, that demanded the fullest investi gation ;it could not rest berw ;he was detem ii to prosecute the inquiry suimewhere with a view of vindicating injunsl innocence; of visiting blame on the quarter where blame was elite ; of redeem. Mg the clitracter of this country from such an act of injustice as was involved in the present charge against the Government of Ja- Wale& t 'fear, henr.) Mr. W. 111)1CION admitted that he was not able to meet the statement of the lion. Meinher with such an explicit detail of facto as was contained in the petition he presented. and the statement with which he accompanied it. The informatioo with which he was furnished on the pan of the Government of Jamaica, was very scanty, co...pared with the ample inteinnation with which his lion. Friend appeared to be furnished by the petitioners. (In the part of the ruke of Manchester, the (intermit of Jamaica, he would say that lie (the I)vke of Manchester) had reason to believe that the petitioners were alicis from information received subsequent to the trial in the King's Bench, adverted to by his lion. Friend. Ito. sides, he wont,' contend that the trial was founded on an ex-parr. statement of allidat its a educed, which. although they did not prove 1 the petitioners to be aliens, yet they did not justify the necessary inference that they were free-born British subjects. al ,vcr, these very persons hail been LIIIVIANI in a conspiracy which was the cam.e of their immediate removal from the island. Ile admit tni, if they were free British subjects the Ihtke of 31ancliester had in. mere"' a •iefinill responsibility in their dismissal from the island, but niuelt allowance was to he monde en account of a dangerous con spiracy iti the island, in wiliest' it was believed they were Milli- ' cited. It appeared that they sold arms to the conspiraters. If they were aliens under the existing circumstances of die island, the tin ternmeni was fully warranted in removing them. Ile would make ' a more full inquiry into the affair. mat hopes' the House would suspend their judgment until he had been able to arrive at the par talilars of the cast on the part elf the tiovernnent. , I Mr. MG A 31 tliii r not think the tart., u stated by his lion. Friend, met the slightest controdiviim on the part of the Govern ment. It was not Alleged that the Ewts which he stated were un founded—they were not at all doubted or contrimerted. The Hen. I liens. had called the trial one at which a decisitarwas Conned A i an e.r.parle matement. Now, he begged to remind the Ilutiourable fientlenum, that the Duke of allanctiester, through his Attunsey tieneral, was present at the trial. Ile cross-examined the wit orates—he was there to object to the proofs °Merest. and after his objections had been taken—alter argument fully heard—after a long legal investigation, the petitioners were dm:tarred to be free born British subjects. Three or Mar weeks afterwards, the Duke of Manchester heard, or thought 1w heard, some charge, which warranted I to remove thy petitioners Irons the island. Ile heard,or thought lie heard OM it was charity to suppose so at least), that they were engaged in some conspiracy, or were guilty of some crime which warranted hint to transport them. This he supposed, not for lino definer, but as the Dake tat 3latichester was bow in a haulm, on his trial, he would not prejudge him hastily. It had been pnanised to the petition e rs, but this lie (31r. It.) could nut state positively. that they would not be molested or interfered with after the first acquittal. However that fact may be, it was at mist incumbent on the liovernment not to have denied them a P.ecor,(l trial on the new charge, at which their innocence might be vindi cated, or their guilt in guilt; I be determined. 111.mr, hear.) Mr. tatOSSET did nut intend to take any part in the discus• lion. lie was not aware of the presentation of this petition , but he had nceived a letter from a Magistrate in.!amaica, which shoed that one of the petitioners had kept a shop, and that they had been both engaged in a treasonable conspiracy. A contribution had been raised roviongat the v'egrom, with a view of giving it to • 31insionary ; hut it had beet appropriated to rebellious purposes— 'to the purchase of arms. And the letter stated further, that ' heceine, one of the petitioners, sold antis to persons engaged in these treasonable practices. Mr. DR4.1111./11A3I would simply say, in reply to the lion. Member who had just iirkeit—" Suppene the facts stated in this letter to be true, why not try diem ?" (Lard cries of " Hear, hear, I hei.r.") Mr. W. 11ORTt/N explained. Dr. LUSH INI;TI1N briefly replied. The only charge that had been made against them, on the ground of being parties to a conspiracy, was sustained by the evidence of lisp tiste, a French emissary from St. Domingo, who had been • descrihed in a letter written by the clergyman of the pariah of St. Deorge, Mr. Donaldson, as " murderous, dot bolieal, and insidious a fiend as had ever been let loose upan so ciety." The petitioners were now ready, us they had been be- I fore, to meet any charge that could be fairly brought against them. Nothing he had heard that night tetaled to exculpate the Govern. ment of Jamaica foe their oppressive conduct on this occasion. Ile would conclude by giving a pledge to the House and to the country, of not losing sight of the case until he saw justice rol -1 dered to the aggrieved parties. I The petition was then read, and ordered to be printed. COMIUNATUkN LAWS. Mr. lIUME p►esented nine petitions against the Combit.mion Laws, from various bodies of trades:nen of Westminster, South work, &e. I*lielionourable Member brought up the report of the Arti. sans' Committee. Three points were entiusted to them to report upon :—pat, The l'imibination laws; 2tl. of Artisans; and, 3d, The Exportation of Machinery. 'the resolu tions of the Committee, recommended the repeat of the Combina tion Laws, and of the law as agened the emigration of artisans. They reserved an opinion on the exportation of machinery, and recommended that this branch of the subject In deterred until next Session of Parliament. lle gave notice, that on Monday next he would bring in three 11111...—the tir,t, to repeal the Combi. nation Laws; the second, to alter the law of Artisans; and the third, to improve the Arbitration Law., as related to the wages of , apprentices and servants. I Mr. AV. Sll ITII presented a petition from the licensed victual lers of Nora ich against the lkir Bill. Mr. ROBERTS presented a petition from the licensed vie , tualers of Aylesbury to the same Meet. Mr. Mt )NCR presented a petition in favour of the Beer Bill, from an individual of the borough of Reading, the proprietor of a house called •• The Itrinumia."This was it petition which lite rally pr.wented to the !louse that just pi.stion awn ulfrtam parting ; and therefore, he should mute that the petition be brought up. The lion. Alember presented a second petition to the same edict from another individual. The Bon. 31ember alsa presented a petition tom the landowners and fanners of the pity of Reading, in favour otihe Beer Bill. The petitions were brought up, read, mid ordered to be laid on the table. 3lr. F. PA L:111:1( presented two petitions in favour of the retail breweries, 61001 by more than two hundred tratlestuenof Hauling, and the second front Newbury, in favour of the same IlilL MESSAGE FR93I THE LORDs. A message from the Lord% announced that their Lordships had agreed to the Ilrighteitustune !toad, and several other private Hulk, and also to the silk Bill. Mr. ELLIS gave notice that on Thursday next he would submit a motion to the House relative to the conduct of eue tenor of the Bermuda. Mr. LITTIsIiTt/N rose to present to the !louse a petition from a gentleman whose name had lately been mentioned in that 'louse without any peculiar respect. The petitioner stated, that in July, 111'20, he Ind been directed by the Lords of the Treasury to survzy the buildings at Westminster Hall, and he submittal to the 'Treasury, in I WI, a plan which he conceived to Ise the best and the most effective for the alterations proposed. Ile was then desired by the Lords of the Treasury to submit his arrangements to the Judges of the respective Courts, and he did so • and he found from the Judges that they approved his plan, and suissamently the plan that the Judges approved was amtinimed by the Lord, of the l'rea sury. The petitioner stated, tl.at, acconlipg to the plan adopted by the Coromittee,the interior arratgenients of the Courts were altoge ther interfered with, and the Well n :tat in nto the judges, the har risten, law-students, and solicitors. effectual!). destroyed. I 'iulcr these circumstances, he trusted that the House would pause before they sanctioned the proposed alterations. lie should move that the petition be read. Mr. SCA it LETT conceived, that wherever the blame rested, it was at least tolerable certain that very little taste had beet) exhi bited in that whids had hitherto been done. (I fear, hear.) With ,respect to the accommodation, he could suggest a mode which would at once relieve the Committee from the necessity of deprie. ing the Judges, banisters, and students of the advantages they ' now enjoyed. The Duchy Court of Lancaster was seldom used, and that Court, with a very slight alteration, would Inca the neces sities of the Judges; a room could be there formal, lit 'l,r their re ception. The Bail Court might be placed at time other side of the hall, where it originally stood, and thus all the anticipated incon veniences would at once be removed. The petition was then read. Mr. lIANKES conceived, that the objections stated by the pe titioner were such as might with rare propriety lus.-e berm urged before the Committee; and, had they been urged before that Committee, he ventured to assrvt, they would have received an answer with which would it he nut excusable in him then to in_ diet on the House. ((dear, hear.) Mr. LITTLETON urged the responsibility of the Treasury, and the unfairness (1 removing the responsibility to an individual. Nit JOSEPH YORKE agreed with the Ilonnunthle Gentle man who had last addressed the House, that the work was dune to order (a laugh), and the fault was attributable, not to the executers, but to the suggestera. (Hear.) The CHANCELIAM of the EXCIINI 7 E II said, that he did on a former occasion state distinctly how far the Treasury were re sponsible in having approved of the plan. M. Soatie had un. doubted!? proposed this plan, and it had been adopted by the Treasury ; and therefore it was quite dear that the Treasury, hav ing sanctioned his alterations, were responsible. Mr. DEN3IAN ohs reed, that he a . extremely gratified in hearing what had fallen from the Hight lion. Cantle:llan; fir whether or not the blame was justly tett-Om:id to 3lr.

ER, that the floa.e go into a Cone:tithe upon tite Order of the Day Ai . conrideriag the Bit respecting the import sad capon I duties on Wool, Mr.I:I'RTEIS said he would oppose the motion, not merely from i.e inexpediency, but because it was decidedly . injurious to the agricultural interests : it was one of the fruits of the new t.hilir,ophy which we% prerched in the Ilouse—it was one of the conmenurnees of free trade, that idol be'orc which they were called upon to fall down and worship. The s AK ER said, it way impossible to gratify the wishes of the lion. Member. The motion was for the reading of the Order of the Ibty, as a ;natter of course it must be read. Upon the (hder of the Day for the Speaker's leaving the flair being read— Mr. I'I'IITEIS said, I move es en amendment, that you leave the 'hair this ilay ci. mtwiths.--I !mild laughs g ) The SP 1: AI: fr. It said, the lion. Member should pardon lints, hut this mode of proceeding would, in his opinion, be wora: than , the other. ........ Mr. tt:RTEIS having then moved the postponement of the sir IS. li TClllll'ltl, asked if it would be more convenient to enter into the details of the question upon the t ommittee. It would, he thought, be better to wait for the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's plan upon the subject. -ic J. N Eft' said, it was supposed the measure, if' carried into effect, would be injurious to Ireland. This lie denied. lie was convinced it' one measure could be more beneficial than another, it would by the measure before the House. Ile therefore stemt heartily deprecattd all opposition to it. Mr. S. %VI/UTLEY said, the objection to the exportation of wool w a ., that it was hurtful to the agricultural interest. If this was the 10 % p:et it had not been attained; it had been asserted upon a former oetasion that wool would rise; the contrary was the fact Ile, as .use of the Members for York, was well acquainted with the nature of the woollen trade, and how it affected agriculture. lie was w,l! aware of the connexion ' •tween the two branches, and how the prosperity of one was affected by that of the other. When lie oppre.ed the exportation of wool he was told he was ltd astrly by his partiality for mallinery and apinoing-jennies. Ile had constituents of different descriptiots, and it wail his duly to look at the interests of all. lie conceived the interest of all was the interest of the farmer; in fact, the inteoms of all his constituents were wound up to ether. 1 hese interests would, in his opinion, be :rially affected by the exportation of wool from this country . , • and he was therefore opposed to it ; and though he stood alone, it the toiletry were to depart from that system of policy upon which It had acted tor a century. he would protest against it, and if he did not defeat it, it would he owing merely to his want of power; it was irons a sense of the inutility of the effort that he declined taking the sense of the 'louse. Mr. Alderman THOM PSON said, the Hon. Member for York shire should not stand shine in his opposition to the measure, as he would support hint. The wool trade Mil on the decline; it had never biro lists proveroua than during the hot year. Mr. REN T wit attire) said, there was no trade in the West of England mote prosperous than the woollen too le until last year. Die falling off was occasioned by the discussions on the Nuf.tect, and the alteration in the duties ; a stagnation ln the trade was the consequence. The trade was now, however, recovering ; the profits were rt'rhaps not great, but many hands were employed. The workmen were busy, and of course they were peaceable; it was when that class was out of employment it became riotous ; it was his deckled opinion that if the duties were laid on they should be equalized, and there should be no difference between the export and nom. t duties. It' the Chancellor of the Exchequer were to persevere let hint act fairly, and if the export tax be twopence let the Import tax be the same. Mr. T. W N would say a few words on the saject. The trade, in his opinion, would fall completely into the hands of foreigners. He admitted that whilst the duty was even as low as' four-pence per lb. it operated as a mill-stone round the neck of the foreigner; if the proanit plan were acted upon the trade would fall into the hands of the foreigner. Ile would call upon the President of the Board of Trade w deny this. We should not therefore give away a commerce most beneficial to the country, nor should we xdo.it the foreigner to the same market with ourselves, He agreed perfectly with the lion. Member for Yorkshire as to the export. It appeared to hint that every pound of long wool that left this counts, would be mixed up with two or !Mee pounds of short of fore 4n growth. Ile thought with the Hon. Member there would be no advantage in dividing the House. .Mr. St II ER was of opinion the discussion should be postponed until the I omntitt e ; I/code:m:li should wait fur the suggestions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it neces sary, after the discossion that took place, to make a few observa tions. He would direct himself principally to the remarks which fell front the Aluver mil Seconder. He deemed it perfectly unne cessary for him to ref: rto the principle of the measure. That prin ciple was, whether the ditties were to be reduced, or the expor tation were to be uiluwed at all. This principle had been laid down by himself early in the month February ;it had also been repeittcd by his lion. Friend. who hail moved resoutions grounded upon that principle. The principle of the 11211 was therefore de cided ; it was tint necessary for lion to justify it at prment, and with respect to the opposition given t. it by those who cor.c iced their particular interests were concerned, this was nut a proper or pl ac e for the discus.inn . The details should be tlfan.sseat before the Committee. a:td then lie would enter the field with any , Hon. Menthe; in its defence. If, in the course of the discussion, any points of detail could be shewn, he would of course attend to them, and he would, for his part, be happy to give every ex-1 planation in his power. Lord Al I ~TII.V regretted that it should be the opinion of his Ilimouraole Friend a n d Colleague, that this measure was fraught with ruin to the country. Ile saw the matter in a different point of , view. and from all the inquiries he could make upon the su:uect, he was of opinion that nothing could be adopted laving a greater ten. dewy to the general good; and in this benefit the agricultural in terest would find itself included. If the object hitherto was the exclusion of foreign wool, the object was not attained. In his opi nion, the importation of foreign wool to this country was highly de sirable. It would be our advantage that all the wools of foreign countries aboold be mixed up in this country. There were many descriptions of this article that could not be made up by themselves. Ile approved highly of the principle of the Bill ; Ira did nut meddle' with its details. It was a matter of perfect indifference to hint' whether die duty on the wool exported was one or two pence; his 1 °hive; was. that those more immediately concerned should be grati. hid on tie. subject. Irvin the state of the manufactures abroad, he thought it utterly tutnussible for the foreigner to compete with us in the home market. He was conli,lent the nt %sure would doe oenelicial Cait to the landed and commercial interest. He con. curreil in th.• principle of the Right lion. Reutleman; be thought it a sound one ; he trusted he would pay no 'neon un to the cross fire directed against hint. lle would remind him of the reflection made by Benjamin Franklin upon the feelings excite' by his plans nfa Al !Will in America. It appeared to the Democrats to be too fsvouruhle to the !loyalists, and the favourers of Royalty thought it savomed too much of Demo:racy ; and from the dislike of both ;emirs the philosopher inferred that the plan was in all prebabi. lity a good mane , Ile trusted the Right L in. tlem:eman would mime 1 similar line of argument—that he would take no notice of the crosa-hire to which he was exptaAl, but would persevere, and hate that tuerit of carrying into effect a IIIeaSUIV conferring the highest beat:tit upon the country. Sr I:. sII I FFSE It said a few words in favour of the motion. Air. ('lt !PI'S was of opinion the discussion should be rescriel for the Committee. . ...... Mr. HART DAVIS said, that if the clip irtat:on were anowed, the Gentian niantil.tetures would wioii riva ours. After a few olp.ervaiitill from Mr. Cl 'ItTI ES in explanation, The SPEAKER left the Chair, aid the !louse resolved nail( into a Coininint.. CIIANI:f.I.IAt. of the EXCHEIskER said, that it was not his intention to discuss the various topics in the Hill at that 1.10. went, because he thought the more simple method would be to pro. teed with the discussion, as the various points arose in the course of the debate. lie would call the litlellt!:111 of the Committee to the filling up of the first blank. The first clause did nothing but repeal all the existing duties on wool. i.eT duties to be inmosed would be found in the schedule. That clause then went [MI% fir— , whether it were advisable to make any alteration in the duties on wool ; and he would now canline himself' to this point, i. e. if the ' duties on wool imported into this country ought or ought not to be restored ; and he would observe. that he had always understood the wool trade in this country to be in a very flourishing condition, and , that the wool-growers had never been of the pass r CIa•ACS, lie thought that the Hon.fdentleman (Mr. ('urteis) hail failed to prove that the duties ought not to be reduced, because of their lung con-' tinuance on the sant, pricciple, he might argue a4.iinst the re , duction of any duty which was no; of recent date. lie (the Chan ' cellar of the Eschequenthought that in supporting the present men. sore, the N house was only ralerisainga pledge which had been formerly given, and he trusted he itimuld have the voice of the Mose to serve the interest% of the manufaeurer on the one hand, and of the woisl.grower on the other, because it was evident that if the manu facturer were relieved from the evil camplained of, he would mix up the foreirn with the English wool, and thus serve the grower. Now. as to the n u de alining up the b ink, ,te the 11,4 of the ExcheTter) would otmerve„ that it was n sitS4Ulat (IMO: that the two dates he had proposed to fill up the blank ha e pened to be theve ry two which the wed merchant-sof t. .tout Ito looked upon to be the MINIM of the : sell trade, had far: aer:y pointed out to hint.

Mr. T.

At present wool was t *ported, niara t i k . lured in various ways abroad, and with great atlvantagc t o t h e manufacturing interests of this country.

A great capital was embarked in that trade, rid it required attention from the Uorenstneot. floe penny per pound would be no protection, and he so represented the natty: to the tiovernment. On this subject no doubt there would be way opinions, and he was satisfied, as a country geuileinan, sod n s Melilla? representing different interests, that the Uovernwttat tste wrung in their proceedings o.) this subject.

A Member. whose name we did not Imr. supported the measure. Lord MILTON observed, that in h.. way 01 viewing the qua. tine, there was nothing between landlord and tenant ; it was a met. sure which he thought beneficial to the country. He cared not whether there was a reciprocity in this ovemfore or sot ; btu this he knew, that if he sent valuable things to foreign countries, it woul4 obtain in return valuable things trout them. He did not believe that either himself or his colleagues would live to seethe nom when the foreigner would buy the wool out of the mouths of his constituents ; they were too wise and too industrious, aad toot,:. rprizing, to allow it. The farmer made no complaint on this sub. ject, anti that was to hint the beat proof that the proposed measure might be safely carried into effect. This clause would doguod. b.. cause it would promote the growth of wool t it was the interest of the manufacturers l 0 get rid of those vexacous laws, by white thcir trade vas now restricted. Mr. S.

A great part °idle rivtnurs of this country arose from the duty impelled on the export of our raw materials.

Bey thing like it could not be produced ; but what is now the fact ? that everywhere in Europe something equal to it was produced. The Saxon wool was, in fact, an improvement on the Spanish. In France our growth of long wool was rivalled, notwitluaanding all oar efforts 10 guard the growth of wooled sheep.

Mr. S. WORTLEY mid he had made use of no denial which be could not prove at the Rae of the House. The clause was then agreed to. Several other clauses were also agreed to.
