But the fact of increase 4" 50 iblVidOrrekead generally. This mess be borne iu euutd, teeesuse withonf It there coviei un jest opinion fora), d on the comparisons at to the present and past mate of the country. I t was ma terial to observe that this increase load taken place leithiti the lust twenty or thirty years, in which time ' not one division or district, pot the maitulacturieg population ur the agricultural alone—hut all—south and west, north and rest, had assisted in this in. crease. The next object tie would present to their attennon, upon which he would caldera himsslf with making some general statements—not to be taken merely from his statement, hut for which they would have accounts properly simplified and proved to guide their judgment, so as to exclude the sulpiciou of error, was the state of the revenue. It could not but be most satisfactory for the House to learn that the revenue had up to the laid account exceeded that of the preceding year in the amount of more then one million sterling. In 'eying this, he meant the increased revenue to be understood as having taken place on the same articles on some of which taxation bore with • pressure different from that on others. The fact was material in itself. and also as it was connected with other circumstances. which lie weak] have presently to bring befog. them. From his stateineat of the particulars, these House would be able to observe nut only what was the condition of the revenue, and how collected; but with what degree of pleasure it bore upon the, several perils of the community. Here lie might venture at once to declare, that never had there.- ' been a period at which the revenue was collected with less arrears. Out of twenty-seven millions of excise duties to be collected in last year, there were not more than 5,0001. unpaid, and there was a clear prospect ol recuvering the greater part of that res. due. Not only was it sit increased and iticressing reseirue, but it was of lighter pressure than a ny heretofore—it was not pinched and strewed tip by extraordinary coercima and the extreme rigour of the law; . on the culinary, it was one collected with us cure and as little diliculifielit any period of which lie was aware. Another satisfactory fact he would state, as one particularly bearing on Ibis sub ject, and us tending to sheer the increasing pros perity of the community taken together. He would call their attention for a immures to the saving batiks iustitutions, the progress of which gave certain tudicatious of amelioration in the state of the labouring clams'. Ile had a statement of the aggregate accou n t of those institution. within the kingdom, from which it appeared that in the year ending 5111 January, tail, there were deposited in them 757,106/. ; in the year ending sth Jan. 1822; the deposits within the year amourited tul.2os,edni. These sums were remitted alieuet entirely trine the wages of labour, and allowing f o r the d;te• se ,, e ,. on the increase of population, ruse from 700,0001. to nearly 1,200,000/. Having said this much on a few subjects, bearing directly on the neture of his statement.. he came now to the metier of the state ment itself, front among the dilettanti of which he proposed to place first—tliough considering it by no means first au coarequence—the foreign cirm mem A cometherable increase had taken place in the exports of Bullish produce and manufactures —the amount of that increase being from two to three milliour in the course of the last year.l:— . Their Luidships would have accounts in detail before them nu a future tree:tidos.. lit the melee time he might appeal for proof to the gene ral observation of men conversant with the iner:. amide and snanufacturing interests. Ile admittr4 that there might Irvin particular causes be some preemie!' in the corn trade ; there might lie kra profit inekieg than in woollen, cotton, and hard ware; but no the combined intereos there were considerable improvemeuts. He came next to the subject ol the petitions which had been presented oar agricultural distress. He was far from being averse to •buntlant discusriosi on the subjectond wa. willing to admit that coosiderable distress dud exist in a very Urge part of the country as to the concerns of agri culture. That queeitem might undergo irreti table dis cuesiou, were it only to rid the mind, of the sufferers of an id lesuggestion w hire' had been furnished them, and which was daily growing prevalent among them, that excessive negation was the eau.* of their dis tress. For this it would be clear there was Hot the slightest foundation. as he undertook lit bluely the House whenever the discussion should be regarded. lie would detain the House for a little ia stating fact !fleets must beer naturally on the whole of that question. The filet he had to state was this. •that a similar depression eluded in the agriculture of all the countries ut Europe. Here there was no argument for their Lordships' eOll6l. demerit, but it was of a fact of each importance, that it ought to be remersibeved on account of its general bearing on the question of distress at home. it was impossible that the superahumfance or dearth of oilier countries (whatever night lie the law to regulate- importations) 'should produce rio edict here. If, for example, there were eisperabun deuce here, and dearth in any or a great many of the States of Europe, that would act as a remedy to both crises. On the other hind, when there was a superabuudauce every where, that go must go considerably its aggravation of Its evil no each par eglbes • Tue general auktitibuallauce then --77 . 4 1gRarmilpr"1111 Pr.r Ceat. - ir'' , ii`• . . , 5 4- i . o-4 - a ,T, . 4 • . •. •• .. , ..0..._. : •, i V • P 0. • ‘, ' S , A , ...- -•• d- .•,,, • . .. . - ~,„,- • • .. • , "lid.

Is the stale of agriculture is Holland and France similar to what you hare described existing la the north of GerimuM ? —Certainly; in all my conversatices with Dutch farmers and landlords I fused they were ceimplainiet that they woos losing by every thing they sold; the feudal system does sot prevail dame as it does in Germany.

STATE OF THE NATION. The corder of, the Day for, summoning their Lordships eras thrii read. The Earl of Lamm:rot rose. He began by expressing his coiscurreoce with the Noble Earl who had Jost presented the Petition, in the senti ment he had expressed of oiutidence in the atten tion of Parliament a* the dismisses of the country. Ott this, as on every occasion wherein a body of meu were found petitioning their Lordships in proper terms of submission and respect. their prayers, not as a matter of constitutional right, but of political ex pediency, ought to receive due consideration, and the heat attention of the House ought to be given ' to the representation of their grievances, with a view, if possible, to contriving a remedy. Though they might even be tnisuaken as to the causes of their sufferings, and their Dotterels of a proper cure, yet the feet of them having, in becoming lan. guage, repre.enied a state cf distress which was bearing with considerable pressure on them, was • sufficient claim to Oast attention. It would be for their lordships to use their best judg ment as to the case brought .before them—so weigh the propitety of that which might be proposed—so apply the proper means of relief, and, if necessary, to dispel the errors into which they might lyre fallen al to the crimes and remedy of their Suffer ings. The motion it was his intention to make wield have the effect of producing information essentially connected with the prayer and subject of the petition presented by the Noble Egli. A very short statement of the general contests of the papers, with the uses to which they might be after wards applied. would be necessary. It might pro bably have beef' dispensed with; but as the sub. jret was one of 'general imeresit—as meatuses had been proposed and were then. Under deliberation in regard to it elsewhere, which their Lordships might be culled upon also to consider—and ns su inquiry into the condition of all ths.brainclies which mike up the general interests inigld be iiistitutedid:iente other time, if had beeu thought advisable to prepare their minds by some preliminary discussion, and that great advantage would be derived to the conduct and effectof that inquiry, if they were to take a general view of the site of the country, be. fore they should be called to deliberate on the speci fic meusures which would probably come before them. Those measures would have rcterteice to circum stances of very different periods * and would tie ap plicable to different objects.,..lt could not but be highly advantageous to this Lordahips to give the general subject a preemie% examination. He wished therefore, before moving fur the papers he wished to have produced. to offer a few remarks uu the general state of the country internally, aid in the first place. to apply himself to the soh. jest of the petters,' just laid un the table—in determine as nearly as possible what were the points of discussion which properly claimed their atteniloa e and what measures were likely to be. of application the most beneficial. in taking thia course. it might be necessary for hirn to go a step further than the immediate object of his motion ; fur without doing to he could scarcely make his state- • meat intelligible so regard to various highly im portant parts of it. There was one statement which had got abroad, a n d iti•pt have a/trachea their Lord 'hips' at tentlim, whirls ought first to be taken into their minds before they entered on the topics which he had to oiler, and to which it bore strict relation.
