cussing the whole question of the state of the Cotn Laws. The ^" was then negatived without * . e Amendment d i vision; and the House haViog resolved itself into a Coinnittee— The Marquis of Loma°opium rose pursuant so the notice which he had given, to call the atten ton of the Committee to certain Resolutions of which they were already in possession. fu bring ing forward the proposition contained in the first of those Reeolutions, noder the sanction of the Coton unite,. lie should be (Wang an injustice to himself end the Committee, if he did not desire that it might be onderitoood AM in doing so it am, by nu means intended to justify that Prop*. •sition ou its general principles, but only os . the citcsmstances of the particular time. The 'llowourable Member for Taunton (%lr. Sarin`)' lint proposed in the Coenmittee that in the present artificial state of the Corn Laws, a certain capital should be employed in the heads of Government in the purchase of corn when prices were extreme* low, for the purpose of keeping up the supilly the market by disposing of it when from scareity „ , the prices should rise. That was proposed as ro ll permanent arrangement ; but that plan not beiet thought convenient, what was called "the paws. looking plum" had been suggested instead, whicht although it was not thought adapted for a 10.' 14 ne w a rr angement, yet had appeared a good outs as applicable to the particular case. After caps siderable diacusiiion, strong reasons preponder in the minds of the Consrnitttee op stein, to indu them to think that eveo the present emergency would not justify them in retommending the par. chase of corn by Government agents, on IbCCOIIII% of the unfavourable effect upon the markets of such a plan, the appearance of a Government agent in a market having a general tendency to defeat advan tageous competition between individuals. Looking at the other plau, they did conceive that there was nothing in it that at all violated the prin ciple of free competition in trade, and that a measure might be adopted of making advances to persons purchasing coru with the prospect of an advance in the price at a subsequent period of the year. That idea had arisen out of the circonistancesof its having been found, on comps. rison, that the quantity of corn that found its way to the market in the earlier months of the present year was needy double the quantity at market in the corresponding part of the former year. That was attributed, in some degree, to over-production; but also to circumstances operating to compel the small farmers in particular to forCe their gr . ain mto the market in the early pert of the year. io the hope of being thereby enabled to make good their engigements with the landlords for the pay meat of their rents. And it was thought that at a later period of the year the supply in the tnitrkets would be considerably dimiMalted, whereby a rise its the prices might be expected, corresponding with the former depression. It was obvious that the market in the present year was not in a whole some and natural state ; and it therefore appeared, that if additional purchasers could be brought into the market, who would purchase. on a correct notion of the time state of the operation of supply end demand thresighout the year. they weeld not at all destroy the fair effects of abundance. For the phut proposed, it appeared, would not teed at an to raise the prices ou the average of the year, but would only have the effect of wore equally distri hottag the-supply to the consumer throughout the year, uod of equalising the prices, instead of letting them go oo ruinously low in the early part of the year to the grower, and be raised high towards the close of the year, to the prejudice of tite consumer. The Government, after the best I consideration it had been able to give to the sub ject, found reason to believe that there was not so much a want of 'private capital in the country tar such en operation, us a want of conviction . that it might be made with advantage. The plan lad therefore been proposed in the Commit tee, of making small monthly advances to persons storiug corn, not so av to luck it up from the mar sets entirely, but to afford them the opportuOity of consulting their own conven eller in the sale of it, *whenever a prospect of advantage offered. He had thought that any measure by which a consider able quantity of motley might be thrown into the circulation would tend to general relief, isidepen deut of its local appliertion, and therefore he had consented to charge himself with the proposal of this measure. There was this advantage in the plan, that if It did no good it could do it. harm.- IHear, hear, hear.)—That certainly was uo tocon• siderable advantage to soy plan. if there was an impression that coin would not rise to price at the la;ter end of the year, no person would Ix induced to enter into the speculatiou; but if the impression was the other way, then the measure would be bene ficial in the distribution of the supply more fairly. so as to used the demand. He did not Ititmell vote fur this measure in the Committee, because laviug proposed another which was rejected, he thought it better to leave the Committee to the fair exercise of its discretion ; and they having decid e d in favour of the plan, he felt it his duty to bring it forward for the fair consideration of the House. His respect for the Committee would have been a sufficient reason to induce him to bring it forward ; but there was another reason which weighed greatly on his mind. which was, that lie had beau told by many Grailleinen, whose con neatoos gave them extensive means of iisfurniatiou on that point, that it was, whether right or wrong, precisely the bort of measure from which the farmers themselves conceived it likely that a re medy might be derived for their preieut exigencies. He thought be had said as touch as was tweet:miry to make the stature of the ;imposition iutelhgtlle ; and lie hoped the Committee would dispose of it without uniting it up with any enlarged view of the turn laws of the comitry, and that it would be dis posed of as speed ly as possible. He would HOW CUIld ude by moviiig the first Reliolutiou ; alter unlit was disposed of, there was souther part of the subject, relatin g to the griuding of foreign corn under particular regulations, which he should pro- Pint to bring distinctly under their cuuudetation stn another OCCILIIIOII. He then moved— " Tut it is tar 'patios of this Committee, that his M rtje-ty be matted to direct Exciseqeer b.lis tow amethit not exceed. tag ow mallets, to be hotted to Contieta•losters lu Grrai tam, to be by them admoced wader cerium regulstiose and reate,eti,,be. w b e,tever the av er age prise ur wisest shell be mailer tilts. per Reiner, upon such cure. thereeth of the ealterl tinion, is Asti be &welted is At arid ?met warehouses." Mr.Cuevetti said, though some objection might be urged against the plan on its general principles, yet be did Conceive that much advantage might be derived from it tree as a permanent regulation I for, in years of scarcity, the same appearance of irregula rity in the markets might be observed, even in a greater degree, than in years of plenty, and the pres sure on the poor, from the high prices at the end of the year, iv that case would be much more distress ing. He protested against the view which had been taken of this question by the Hon. Member for Coventry, as the most odious, unjust, and unfair to the agricultural interests of the country.-- His reason for protecting duties was to encourage the growth of a supply adequate to the consump. tion of the country, by which it might be kept in dependent of foreign countries, and to prevent the throwing of lands out of cultivation, by which thou. sands of the most valuable part of the population of the country must be reduced to beggary. He wished he could say as much of all the plans pro posed by the Noble Lord as of this,that if it did no good, it could not do harm. Mr. Lamm opposed the plan as a most unjus tifiable application of money'raised from the peo ple of England in taxes, in order to raise the price of bread against them. Mr. Mammon rose to state the reasons why he wished' the Committee to reject this plan. The grounds un which he had to meet it had been much removed by the statement of his Noble Friend, that it was not intended as a permanent measure. Looking at it then as a temporary mea sure, his main objection to it was the time at which it was proposed to apply it. His Noble Friend had truly stated, that as far as it could be made out, it did appear that the supply of corn in the markets in the early part of the present year was nearly double what it was in former years; and he had also stated as the reason why it was so. the ne cessity the farmers were under to provide her the payment of rents that were doe; that they were pressed by their landlords, and to keep, their engagements, were obliged to thrash oat their corn, and send it to market earlier than usual. Taking that to be the case, it now appeared thlt many of those farmers were now in the Markets, net. as growers or sellers, but as purchasers of corn fie their own support and that of their labourers and poor. So that if any quantity were ,sow to be takes' out of the markets, it must diminish the quantity from which those small farmers had to draw their supplies for themselves end their poor, aud• thus they would rather aggravate the difficulty by greatly increasing the distress of that class of the farmers that was most distressed. Any man who knew any thing of the matter, if asked who were the farmers that were nut distressed, would tell, the inquirer to look at the stockyard'', and there be would find a sure criterion, for the opulent farmer, would always contrive to keep his corn in the sirs ' as long as it suited his convenience to keep it out the market. ‘Ve were with• respect to our C Laws in an artificial state, which required muds . 1 occasional revision. He should nut therefoile_ . : have objected to this measure on the ground tr. its being a temporary expedient, if it appear on its own particular grounds to be applica to the case for which it was intended to pr.. wide. He requested those Hon. Members whose feelings were so particularly alive to the interests of dealers in corn. to look at what might have been the effict of this measure if it had urea passed in the last Session, and the market had been liable to he operated upon by so large a sum as 1,000,0001. He would ask his Noble Friend, whether, with his vecoftection of the prices of corn in September, he did net think it probable that the prices would have been forced up above the prohibition price of 004., so sa to open the ports and let in a supply of foreigis corn, which must have forced down the prices in the subsequent quarter to a much wore ruinous pitch than had yet occurred. On the 9 h September the price of wheat was 555. ed., and oil the 29th it had risen to 70s. Bd.; could any mail doubt that the operation of 1,000,0001. upon the markets in that state would have raised the price to 80s. ad. and thus have brought on what the farmers so much deprecated, the opening of the ports?—([fear.)—He thought the plan would be a great encouragement to specu lators who wanted to raise Money, and that it would also operate mischievously iii the derangement of she gradual adjustment that was now going on between landlords and tenants, by escitiug delusive hopes and Asroepects. It would be tither doing too little or too mach. It would do nothing if prices did not rise Ileserards the close of the year; End if they did rise, it would be much better to let them alone. The plan would only leave them with damaged curse us hand, which would not be saleable when she Dew corn came in, and with advances oat of hand of 1,000,0001. which they mould not recov e r. tic therefore decidedly opposed the motion. Sir J. SEMI:111T said, the only good thing he had heard in favour of the plan was, the asseriiiiii that the farmers wished for it. But he believed that nut to he she case, for he hail not heard any one farmer speak of the plan, who was not convinced that it would not operate to their advantage at all. For Isis own part, he was perfectly convinced that et was much better not to inn:treat with the markets at all. • n , air J. nter.LET nppoged the plan, which he was convinced would, if carried into effect, do * great deal of harm. Mr. ‘VfitToost said if there waa a glut in the market, it vows better to let it work tt•ell' 01t by the low prices. In his own case hr had been obliged to take his curs' to market for fear of its getting musty and unsaleable. Farmers were always afraid .to keep their okl stock on hand when the stew corn was coming in; and he was store it must be the same with the merchants. lie did not think the plain at all likely to relieve the farmers. A MEMBER, whose name we could not I ts ini, offered a few ob•erratioas in support of the plan. Mr. D. GILnEIT thought that under the opera.. tiou Of this plan tin good corn would be warehoused, but only the bad, sod therefore he opposed the motion.. . Mr. Cairn 311,:o opposed the motion. Sir E.

Mr. Wonatkouse ems gl his determination net to leave - the Noble Marquis in the lurch, but to give him his support on this occasions He had supported the rocreare in the Committee, not on general iftinciplcs, but as fitting in the singular exi gency in which we were placed. He could not but agree with the Honourable Baronet (Sir Edward Enatchbull) in expressing his astonish ment at the course adopted by the Right Honour. able Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson). He seemed to think the measure would fall heavily on the small farmer; but in fact, the small farmers were those ' who bed experienced the least of Ilse pressure. Mr. &SNICKS said, that on general principles he was averse from the interference of Government In the manner now proposed ; but Government ought to be able to adapt its measures to the very peculiar circumstancea in which the country was placed. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Huskision) said, that had the plan been adopted last year it 'would have aggravated the state of the market, but he (11r. Bankes) thought it would have hail a direct contrary tendency. This was a smaller teinedy than he should. have proposed. and also came rather late, but as testifying the attention of the House and Government he should support it. The Marquis of Lonnoanzartv said, he was obliged to his Hon. Friend the Member fur Norfolk in voting for his own mersaare, itsorder not to leave him (Lord Londonderry) in the lurch; but he begged leave to say, that having brought forward the motion in deference to the opinion of his Col leagues in the Committee, he felt that he had dose. enough ; hr begged, therefore, the saddle might be; ;placed on the right horse.—(A laugh.)—He should hare expected that the Hon. Member for Brunt*" (Mr. Irving). whom lie understood to have been the originator of the measure, would have sheen it ' a more parental support than he had. Hi should think he had done his duty in -propos ing the measure, 'bot should not feel at'all ch.- - posed to press it on the House.—(Hear, hear.)--- The reasoning he had heard on the subject cer tainly did not present any obstscle in his mind to the proposition. It should he recollected the corn could not he annihilated, end therefore could hive no operation On the future harvests, ns by this mea sure it was 'merely the bringing to market that would be regulated. It struck him that the mea sure would not be wholly inoperative, but if the remaining Gentlemen of the Committee did not raise their voices its support of it, he certainly would ant divide the House upon it. Mr. lama said, that it was the difficulty which he felt in addressing the House that had prevented him from before rising to urge the arguments which struck his mind on the subject. He was not ashamed to coofeas himself the proposer of the measure which hid been scoffed at and ridiculed by an Hon. and Learned Gentleman whom he had in his eye. It would have been well if he had attended his dory in that Committee as sedulously as he (Mr: Irving) had. Though his avocations were as pressing as those of the Hull. and Learned Gentle man, he had thought it his duty to attend, and make such suggestions us his humble judgment enabled. him—(Hear.)—He had tint proposed the measure in total ignorance of the true.principleo of political economy, but it was one of numerous expedients, and was accepted by the Committee its the least objectionable, and he did not therefore feel himself more respotivible then any other Member of the' Committee. The Hon. Member proceeded to argue the practicability of the measure. He Mill entertomed the opinion that it would afford relief,' and that it could he carried into execution without* difficulty. and that under the present circe(set. - stances of the country, it was the duty of the Rouse , to resort to it. Mr. T. WILSON supported the measure. tie thought it no argument to any that the relief came too lair, us half the farmers were already ruined; surely it was an object to save those which reinitiat ed. It was observed that the harvests generally ran for a series of years either good or bad, and es it was ackousrli-dgerl that we had had a aeries of good harvests, we might reasonably look for a bad one, or perhaps a succession 'of bad ousts; in which case the present tneasure of storing curet whilst it was plentiful, would operate most beneficially. ' The sacrifice to be made wits very small, said though it was good to eat cheap bread, yet if the price were . run too low, the poor lands must be throws out of cola eation, 'tad the robieator ruined. Mr. BROUGHAM said he woad not detain the Com mittee long, a. lie hail before addressed them, but he felt it accessary to reply to the pathetic appeal made by the Hun. Member for Brenalwr, erapteriog his abrerice from the Com mittee. Certainly the Hun Member's time war es vataiible as his (Mr. °roughens's), but be bad not coosidesed the dia. lance between the place et which be (Mr. levier) was enabled to attend the Covenantee. and that from which he (Mr. Brougham) must have left his professional ditties to make that attendaiire. He was indeed four degree. farther to the northward Mao the Hoe, Member. But to the treat ment of the Committee of last year, aid the manner in which the Report was gut up (wit by the Chairman, but by an in dividual Weibel), there was such • stultification (to nee a fashionable curd peculiarly appropriate) of every one of the Members of that Committee, that had be bee.. is lowa be should in all probability have declined attending. He had before givers an ;apemen os the elide...was of a Com mittee Wittig up stairs on this subject. It appeared to him that it was the duly of ki• Majesty's Goveroment, it they had the wisdom, and possessed that uniou and rigout,: anioue themselves which they wrest to possess, to have proposed some measure of relit!.
