He believed iLift it was now acknowledged that the coutractiou of the ette „homo medium was one great cage, of the distress of agricalture. But the House and the country could um eapeet a propositioa from the Noble Marquis, rise intent of pipet, was to make an attempt, a futile attempt to exicud the rircalating medium Of the country. Though the Act of relating to the (lunacy, was actually in opt-ratio° be fore it received the royal asseat, yet it *so bow perceived that it had reduced the country to its pretest stole, aod the Minis ter to retrace their steps.

He matendcil that the depreciation of money price extendid to all other articles as well as agrieulteral produce. The Honourable Member awn read a statement of a compe titor of the value of British cxporte, taken from the Can tina-house documents, the reoult of which "'hewed that there was depreciation to the amount of 411 per cent. Mr. MICAH DO said, that Invite some prooositiont to mac, he shoold fallow the example of the NoW• Lord in tetieg that opportunity of mibmittiog them to the House, s ad @rowing them lime to form their iodine'st upon them. The Homourahle Member for &yea (Mr. IVeateru) had sated, and in that be roucarred, that by the plait of the Noble Lord the present system of the slaking fund must br obsodourd ; indeed, the Noble Marquis had arknow. ledged that a part of it most be given up in order to relieve Ile presrut burdens. Now he begged the Ilour,e to sto li d to this:Wet , ~,,, a proposition to that effect had proceeded from Isis (Mr.R.'s) side oft ha Houee,they were answered on the o ther go *, t• What! would you du such a tbiog with au Act of Par. Nairn' staring loss an the (ace? It would be impossible to agree to such • propositivo without a violation of public faith." And yet the very woe proposition was nuts made, (or they Owned the present slaking fund was to be invaded, sad thus was to lie met by continuing its operation to a fur. dm period. He wished to take that occasion of catenate anions protest °Kai" prolonging the charter of Ow Bank. (;e u itenien us hillside of the House had repeatedly failed spoil the Government not to mum too any agree-meat with the Bank without andlcient orifice, but now they fouud the charier of the Bask was to be Increased for 10 years, nod far an object wholly losigoificaut. There was a paper cur. racy in the eonotry qui;e adequate to all tire objects fur 'stock it was required. He had always considered the Bank 644 bum a very little benefit to the country, fur all the be o-its which the Batik derived might be given to the public. He was quite sure that the paper currency might be pot on such a footing as to give the public that sdeaotage, for be as persuaded the public derived so advantage fr.m the Bark merely letailiug them money, and he could net help ot)iag bow meek be should regret if the Government wa *tali fauered by soy thing which had passed between them and the Rauh, aid he hoped that they, before they concluded say agreeineut, would glee the Hesse an opportunity of promusciog au opinion upon it. The Noble Lord hid aimed that Mire was nu dielPreere between his poi paeltioa on the *abject of Hae Coro Bill sail tint *lath be (Mr. Ricers's) had suggested. The Noble Lord seemed to thiok that he (Mr. Ricardo) had consented j to a Muni duty of 204.; hut this was not optional, it was a Mime which bed been forced upon him ; and the great dis hem 01 the times induced him to consent to this bail system, and give high protecting duties. That formed an important difference. The agricultural interests suffered a conside. table pressure, and he was so destrous as any man in that House to hold nut din hand of a-wistaria% to relieve them, sad as was therefore that hr consented log Ox r d pvietsf7os. Of dl the men ie the commutrity the !more was Ilse meat cruelly aced. Whew in consequence of • bail harvest, sad movement ly a small quantity, prices bre, nm high, than eos reduce hia peters by pouring io core epos Mtn hem all parts. That was the evil of the remedy .1 the present system, fur which the Noble Lord promised no remedy, but be (Mr. RievdM, by esta blishing a fixed price, di.tpruputie • remedy..--(licar, had hero o ffers so lo ed in that House that the landed pro.. victor* had but sae interest with the manors(' and all other classes of the cosniouriity, and it surprised, him to had that opinion cheered on both eider of the House.

The 111 Gentlemau concluded by proposing a resultitime which he wivhed to be laid before the House, and was in substance, That it was • xpetlitut to provide for the furei u s ion nailer bond Iwiwe brought oat imo c o nlompc, o „ when the avenge price shall (keyed 70s. by imposing a duty of SO.. a trader spun wheat sod upon other gram in propor tion gradually deoreudinc.

Mr• aR(KkGRAM said, be believed the arrangement "P" r4 by Cho Roble Lfild, of affording time hi couaider the ►volutions he had aithroitteci. was the most tonse "fem. and was os►arally dictated by the variety of topic. tateoditeed, the difficulty of some of them, and the enroll, of others, a wall as the advanced period of the evening. Bat concurring as lie did ut that errongem•ni, he wishrd to make Nee few ebee4W4imne, in order to obtain some further explanation+ upon what appeared to him the principal **tellies foe is wa■ proper that lbete points should hie well explained, le order that the (forme might come better Prepared to the &tore consideration of the subject. With respect to the general dispecsa whir* prevailed, as rawrellut agritulirtre, whether, as the Noble Lord seemed to think, it etas solely ennflite4 to the landed itateient—olwther, In stead of spreadiag %Minuet ail the Lunched of the cum. muaity, abet bad been lost lu agriculture had hems gained I.y others, hiss/rotation on the subject would be the same; sip] sii far frump gindisig,tioy consolatiour ita the.. fir ctiou that use had gained what the other had lost, be thought Inat wan a holsocir which are government, slsiea•/au, or r pe. rotator should everasiike.

Fur !Wee if the commercial in. burls wised somewbst more lloutishieg, it was only in minim diM■2l tompatison with the !slide.) itlere-Is, but they could by no means be can%idered to he is a state of piosperity. Fur if (as ists known to be the case) the ea•nufaelt empl yed work men ai Very low wages, in order to give them employnseut, and that with these low wages their pubis were umniasi, the coeeequeuce to which such a state of things must lead would be to reduce the nomstacturing interests to the distress ender which agriculture !shouted, a condition which they alt an sincerely ileyitored. .Dismisslsig these preliminary re. marks, he wished to run over the few observation... he hail to make, to order to get souse explaustiona. The first of the projects proposed by the Noble Marquis was the substitute afoot of which they bad heard about Iwo months ago, whets the Azi icultural Report had made its appearance, and if he hn.l the good lo , latie to speak io the .pre.ence of the author of that notable plan, he mast congratulate him upon bowie( given birth to one of the Must 'tilt. culous contrivances that ever was proposed to a legis lative body; inzamuch as there was a superabusdaiice of corn lo the Country, it became necessary to provide against so great a ealaraity. Rut God forbid that the Go yes nment, contrary to all *wind prjueiples of political eta fumy, shonld come into the market and purchase up corn, and hire it out the mouth; that would be quite disgrace ful. But then it would be perfectly consistent to get into the co•n loukittg brads, and set up the three guides halls; that wee a potent, which had ever beam reviled Cone Paley down to his Floe. Frieud (Mr. Ricardo). But the Noble Marquis had produced a substitute; they would not allow the Government to purchase cur,,, but they could with great propriety la.c..irne but rowers, and ergry.farmer ear. eying a cat:bloat' of corn to the politic granary, was to get so much for the deposit.—(Hear, hear, liese.)— The next point upon which he wished to obstive wee the Bank, and the proposition to enable the Rank to circulate small notes under live paunds up to the year 1633. Now, glthoneb that would produce a forced circulation, yet It *held lend to maintain it, fur bank noire had their toner ,wiences, and but for higher grounds he should consider that ;they possessed the advantage. The principal of these was forgery, and the other the effect of alarm float must exists when the circulation consisted of veto quantities of paper. beside* the great risk in time of war. But of war it was foolish to speak, foe he believed they must look to a very distant period when we would be in a condition to commit a breach of the peace, and in sects a case we would miner forfeit our recognigances thee go to war.—(Hear, His next objection was to the extension of the charter, in which he perfectly coecurred wills his Hon. Friend (Mr. Ri cardo), that the consideration givru by the Bank was wholly istadeqams, and he objected to such improvident bar gains. To use a very fashionable phrase', it was an " unstatesmati.like way of doing Ir:sine-ea." The ne-rly party always paid, high ; we were now the uerdy party, and lie saver saw the old proverb, that " the needy man most come to the wall," mere strongly exemplified than in the titration to the Haok. He did sot think the alteration respecting the comatiy hankers would be very beneficial. He war afraid it would produce this effect : In the first instence, new banks would be set up, and a rival ship earned on amungst the old ones, which would decoy the old customers to the urw banks fur a temporary at commodation —(Hear, hear, hear.)--eNext came the arrangement about the sinkiog fund, which the Noble Marquis, after a long dalliance, a tedious preface, and a protracted and skilful defence, had introduced. Those who . were accustomed to the dexterity of the Noble Marquis, mild perceive that it was all done for stop effect, fur even after the curtain had been drawn, cos aiderable agitation was kept up whilst the exhibition was passing before their eyes. The principle of a oilskin; tumid was this, to asve.,poeterity by pressiug upon the pre sent generation, but herunteaded that the country was not in a situation to relieve poeterity by , creating the distress of the present generation. However, the prepuised arrangement would obviate the objevtina, fur tt went to relieve the present generation by paying at some distant period a much greater sum than if the present system were adhered to. Now the bargain proposed was one into which he did nosey he would not enter, but one which be would cot jump at; but he knew there were mew who would rue the hazard of seer, change of system, chance of Government, sad various other alterations that might take place. And he was therefore happy they were about to abandon that aholuw of a same, that rusinchabout, clammy, toatiue system, and have but one sifthisf fund, ea...the only principles upon which it shoald be meimained, namely, when there was an above war . _ food was ' salthßat the best real sink. every year, are the ex wasotiod, rt a sink legiton•le g to alter be should se, and if MCP'S, he He had subject i iapression was effectual bad raid , Uli •imers had att.-oiled tat yea► to the subject of ten.

Mr. HUSICISSON perfectly agreed with the Hnu. and Learned Gentleman who had jest sat down, that a sseilting fund should he a clear caress of inmate beyond expenditure. He denied that the pelletal saeavore was an invasion of it, and he congratulated the Haase In havir waited fur the pro. per time to produce a remedy, and not listened to the suttee. lions of the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen at the commence. ment of the Kronen. He consiiki ed that great mischief would be produced if an impression were to go abroad that any at tempt had been made to eileroavh tripartite Stoking Fund. He betieved that !orient., on country banks haul been very limited, and in Srothaud there had been bat one execution fur that crime. list when they looked to this (-Mae they osizlit not to overlook that of counterfeiting the coin of the realm, which was Nosily denteruue to the country, and the ',rout-wino% for that offence in th, last year unwonted to WM.

By tile ship Fortitude, Captain Litres, from Japan, we hear that on the 10th of September there was a dreadful hurricane at Nutigasacky nod the environs, by which tunny houses and magazines were blown down, and several Japanese vessels de stroyed.

Ilts Lordship proposes etsextend to country banks liberty to issue one and two pound notes, payable in Bank of England notes until the year 1899, the payments by the Bank remaining as sitifirevent. He also proposes to rescind the Act limiting commercial firms to six Member., fur the pu.pove of giving strength and solidity to cottony banks by the formation of joint stock companies, as in Scotland. There is DO doubt that •the meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank of England, announced for Thursday, his reference to this plan, although when first mentioned it was supposed to relate to a prop. - lotion fur the reduction of the rote of discount from five to four per cent. But the Noble Lord's speech must be perused at length to catch s per fect idea of his complicated plan. The Bank of England has consented to advance to his Ma jesty's Government four millions sterling at the rate of three per cent, Of this sum, one mil lion is to be employed in pursuance of the suggestion of the Agricultural Committee, ire advancing money upon deposits of corn ; and another million is to he placed at the disposil of the Government of behind, as was done in the year 1816, for the relief of that country, by the promotion of public works, &c. The other two millions are to be employed in paying off the per. sons who expressed their dissent to the plait foe transferring the Navy 5 per Cents. The Noble Marquis intimated that it was intended to propose la scheme to Parliament fur farming out a certain portion of the expenditure of the Goverunteut, which, if 'glowed, would enable them to take off taxes to the amount of about two millions. He also recommended that the import price should be fixed at 7os. instead of 80s. with a protecting duty of 10y. or 20s. per quarter, with liberty to grind the foreign corn now warehoused, under regulations to prevent its admission into the how market. His Lordship concluded his speech with mowing a series of Resolutions to the above effete. The ' scheme, is all its details, is to be formally submit- - - • - ted to the Hattie is a few nights by the CHAN; timi.on of the EXCHTQUER, mud until then it might appear premature to offer an optiiii.n re; specting it t but we etlnitOt avoid drying, that the propoirition of farming out any part of the Govern ment eipeoditure its food for the speculation of pri vate iiidiriduals. seem. prima:facie to be wholly to consiitent with the dignity of the Government, mid to be no less oppoised to the interests of the couritty. The estobliihment of country banks ()poi an extended scale must have an irifluence 'Ton proposition of reducing the rite of discounting by the Bank of Englund from five per cent. to f per cent. When the plan of transferring the Nsvr Five per Cents. into the mew four per tent. rice k was first in Pirliatitent, Ons of the ad vantages which it was then hoped would he derived. from it was a reduction in the rate of interest, and complaints have since her, freely. but in our opinion very unjustly, made against the Bank of England, for not having instantly adopted the suggestion of the Ministers. A measure of thit nature was not to be adopted soddenly or rashly, and the flank act,,l rightly in hot rushing to embrace a project arch Mar avowedly to alter the artificial value of money generally throughout the kingdom. We ere well assured that when the Bank hesitated to tits count bills ut four per cent. they were less in fluenced by a consideration of the lose or gain of one per cent. on their discounts, than by that of the general impression which much a reduction war in their Minds calculated to produce upon the prices of Government stock, and upon the state of the foreign exchanges. For our own parts, we do not concur in their reasonings upon these matters. The Directors were apprehensive that if they fr cilitated the raising of money at a rate loner than the legal rate of interest, thry should only promote stock jobbing in our own funds, or encourage large remittanres to other countries for the purpose of jobbing there; but the Directors must feel that, by the knowledge they may be presumed to hive of the parties for whom they discount, they may anti. hold, as they du at present, supplies front persons who would be disclosed to speculate improperly, and by the control which they muirliossess over their issues generally, they would he enabled to p►evenl them from being so extensive as to be ca pable of seriously effecting the rates of foreign ex changes. The starving condition of the peasantry in the south of Ireland was made known to the House by Sir EDWARD O'Botsm, oho claimed for them the symptithy and assistance of the Government. The Earl of DARNLEY, in the House of Lords, was equally prompt itt recommending this important matter to the serious attention of the Mintate►i The urgency of the distress was acknowledged in both Houses, but the Members of the. Government hare resolved nut to exert themselves in any way to supply the trouts of the people by the pro. curing of provisions. The markets mast be lel; without the interference of Government to the vs. neral principle of .self-regulation ; but the plan of relief adopted in 1816 is to be pursued, and the sum of one million is to be applied by the Irish Government in the way of loans to encourage the indostry of the people, and thereby supply their necessities. We apprised our readers some days since that a memorial had been presented to the Privy Council by several merchants of the highest respectability in the city of London, urging the expediency of admitting ships belooging to the Republics of Columbia. Buenos Ayrcr, Chili, and the other Independent Governments in South America, to ent►y in nor ports. The memorial was pr e p are d at a meeting of merchants which was convened ex. pressly for this purpose. The representation captained in this memorial, we rejoice to say, has been successful. The Lords of the Privy Courted have caused an intimation to be wide to the several sneredritile houses which lad signed the memorial, that they " have decided it yostrably on the application for admitting to entry in this country the ships of the Independent vention, established iu the Spanish part of*Sootb America, conformable to the petition presented to _their .Leedshies en the 23d inst." • To the COMUICIriiti 00110:11116 of the country this measure of the Privy Council promises tl:e inset serious advantages. It evinces s disposition on the part of our Government to encourage and promote the trade of this enqure tit a portion of the world wbere British euterprise aed British ingeunity may most reasonably hone to be highly appreciated and nobly rewarded. We frel the wood policy sad discretion of the measure at this moment perhaps more keenly, from the apprehensions which we, in common with many others, began to entertain. that we were about to be exyhided from the markets of South America in consequence of the measures which are now iu the act of being pursued by the Northern Union. We feared that our Government might hesitate, without the concurrence of SON to recognise iu ■ny way the independent existence of the Situth American Republics, and that the United States, raising impost this backwardnesa of other Powers • peculiar claim of merit with the infant Governments, might he thereby enahted to subject others to serious disabilities in the South American markets. It moat, indeed, he felt that the measures of the 'Joked States have left uo d cretins to the other reacts upon this point. Tite " • • 4 O II .~ : I ' .~. {~
