This motion he considered necessary in the extraordinsry circumstances under which use conu try was placed. In every part of it the want of employment had been productive of the severes4 • distress, and in same instances had led to acts of insubordination and iriolrnce. It was an important duty to ascertain ' if in this state of things any ed's ploymeot could he provided for the pour. for the state in which they were now placed could net be viewed without apprehension and alarm. Pie knew that when lawless violence had reseed its head, it became the duty of Government to put it down without delay. When a than's house was on fire, the first step was to put nit the conflagration, the neat to ascertain the hand. The was no maxim more ttot than that of Lord Bacon—m That in order to altar sedition, you must expel the matter of sedition." Unless the,, the matter of sedition, which was the distress of the people, was inquired into, no ade quate step would be taken to prevent its cooties. sake. No measures of coercion could effect this object ; distress alone had led to it. During the convulsion of the Fteuch Revolution, some of the lowest of society had mounted into the most pro. minent and lucrative offices. This example kept alive • similar spirit of ambition, if it deserved that name, among the same classes in other hoontties, and a period of distress was always that in which such spirits could stork with efficacy. It was only by the force of prevailing distress that demago gues had beets enabled to congregate such laolt collections of the people. He would not say that if no distress prevailed, some disaffectson would not be found to exist, bit he would !Arm that were it not for the real distresses of the peo• pie, the disaffection alluded to would have been confined to a very narrow spot in society. Its what were called the good old tides, when the iO dustry ofthe people had play, and when they lived in peace and contentment, the very boys iu the street would have pelted such demagogues if they adopted the practice of haranguing then'.

The Earl of MOUNT-EDGCVMSE presented six teen Petitions to the same effect from Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Cornwall. These Petitions were laid on the table.

Lord CALTHORPS rose to present a Petition from the Merchants, Manufacturers, and Traders of the town of Birmingham, stating * the grievous distresses under which they now laboured, and praying that their Lordships would take them into their consideration. The Noble Lord proceeded to state, that the Petitioners were not impelled to the step they now took, by any rash coufidence that their Lordships had it in their power to afford them immediate relief, nor by any unmanly de spondency in the situation to which they were reduced. They however strongly, but respectfully, stated, that the great resources of the manufac turers were paralyzed, and they wished them to be fully brought under the consideration of Parlia ment, in the hope that the cause, whatever it may be, which now obstructed them, might if possible be fully ascertained, and if possible a remedial measure applied to remove the evil. Although be confessed he was not sanguine enough to thitik that the result of the inquiry would be the relief which the Petitioners so anxiously hoped for, yet still he thought wiles) so large a portion of the people of this country Caine tirward with such a complaint as this, it was at least due to them to inquire into the evils which they alleged they endured, in the hope of seeiug whether any effectual remedy could he ap plied. Should their Lordships feel that uo remedy was likely to be attained by legislative mean•, they would at least, lie trusted, not withhold their con solatory assurance that they deeply felt the dis tresses which affected so large a portion of the c munity, and that the prayer of their !minim' had not been dismissed until after calm and mature deliberatiou.—(Cries of hear, hear, hear.) — An inquiry was, he thought, in every view desira ble, to consider whether it were possible fo afford any remedy by parliamentary interposition. That inquiry lie would leave for the present in the hands of his Majesty's Nliiiisters, having the Nikon con fidence that they felt as become them the situation of she country, and would not withhold any meaus in their power to give effect to the views of the Pe. titioners. He meant to make tin specific motion now ►especting the Petition, except that it be laid on the table. _ The Marquis of Isasnows—u-.

It would yet be very material to have a general view taken of the sub. ject before the inquiry were actually gone into, for the purpose of discussing the waits olject generally, lest any deception should go forth to the manifest injury of the public mind. If any Noble Lord opposite was prepared to fix • perticular day, he (the Earl of Liverpool) would then state without re• serve the opinions he entertinued upon this compli cated question, and should certainly not oppose any expedient inquiry. l'lte Executive Goveru mem were certainly unprepared themselves to imti tote the inquiry, for ke thought their duty loupe. ratively imposed upon them the propriety of not officially commencing soy investigation through which they could nut directly are their way. But though they did not originate the question themselves, they would certainly give it no opposi tion, provided the inquiry were fairly and practi. tally limited. With respect to the petition before their Lordships, he was ready to admit it ought to be fully considered. The exemplary conduct of the population of Birmingham was, to his own per sonal knowledge, mu the highest degree praise worthy ; their patience, their loyalty, their attach ment to the best institutions and interests of the country, entitled them to the thanks of the commit. troy. sod to a special claim, if any such could at all be put in. for every consideration. The Nlarquis of LeasnowN said that the Peti tioners were eminently entitled to the honourable character just given them by the Noble Earl oppo- Site. The language of their Petitiou was also most expressive and Correct, sod contained, he feared but too truly. the distressed situation in which these people now found themselves. Their casts war certainly one Which entitled them to have • full and adequate inquiry. —( Hear, hear, hear/-- an iuquiry to which he now found his Majesty's Mi nisters would give tio opposition, though, indeed, be hid hoped that they would, either in or out of Parliament, have themselves undertaken it with all the grave and deliberate weight of their O*ll authority. He now found that such ass inquiry was 110 l to be expected in that quarter, where it could I e most effectively conducted, with a view to lay opess the real situation of the country, and the principles to the estublishment of which it ought to look for • mitigation of the now subsisting evils. Ile was Persuaded, that no inquiry could be so adequately carried to • conclusion, as one emanating front Ministers themselves, still less that any remedial measure, should such hereafter be deemed expedient, could be fully carried into execution without the active aid and concurrence of the Executive Government going hand its band with both Houses of Parliament.---(Hear)--As however the Noble Earl would not promise this satisfaction to the country, he (the Meryl') would an early d,iy after the holidays, perhaps on Friday se'rosight, bring this great subject under the consideration of their Lord ships. But when lie gave this notice, lie was must anxious at the outset to express his opinion that he was not very ormolus that any inquiry emanating from him was likely to be attended with any very beneficial result. He also thought it right to state, that the inquiry which he meant to propose should be limited as much as possible to a view of a part of the case, and confined to the most pracii. cal result. He should, its fact, propose the sp. pointmesit of • Committee to investigate the means of extending the foreign trade of the country. This lie was aware was only one view of the case, sad he was far from meaning •to insinuate, that any molt arising oat of such an investigation would give gee neral satisfaction to the country ; On the contrary he thought that no reel good could be effected without sifting to the bottom the whole questiew as it affected all the great interests of the comae. rate, until some remedy were found, or declared unattainable, and that result made clear to .he comprehension of the people. A duty more sacred than that could nut devolve upon any Governuteut. It was he confessed, ton strong for his shoulders, though he was ileternaiueil to undertake the task, as it was not now likely that any one more competent would call on their Lordships to investigate the sub ject. The Noble Marquis concluded by giving notice of his mot - for the upputiutoseut of a Committee 011 Friday se'sitlight to turestigate the question. The Earl of Livitsenue intimated that on that slay lie would stet? generally his views upon thin question, without opposing such a 11106011 as that ulluded to by the Noble Marquis. What extene snits the inquiry may be suseeptilde of, would, of course, remain a matter for future coesides a tio u . But he fully agreed in the expediency of consider ing the general state cf the country. E a rl Geosvertort wished to kuow whether this inquiry was to be limited to the state of the mane.. lecturers ? The embarrassments of the agricultural interest were equally as exteusive. and he thought entitled to the same considers:dote—(Near.)

Hear.) rile Earl of LAIJDIIRD•LIR agreed that " general inquiry could alone be deemed satisfactory to the country at large. His opinions upon Corn Bolls and the state of agriculture generally were well known ; and he implored their Lordships, as they valued the tranquillity of the country, not to enter upon such a topic in the present state of public feeling. Nothiug could be more find to the peace of the community than the agitation of that ques-. tion now. Of course, in the generall discussion upon the state of the country, the agricultural inle. rest must be incidentally touched dpon. Although he thought the inquiry might be entered upon to coot-abate the public mind, yet still he augured very little from the result. The Committee would be beset by crowds of witnesses, bearing facts of all sorts, and sowing the needs of endless father jets. hussies sod dissentions. He approved of the line his Noble Frieud (the Marquis of Lsnarlown) had chalked out for himself, though he thought it the duty of Government to have ere now begun an ac tive investigation into this most important subject; The great use that, in lits opinion, Parliament would be on this occasions was so to classify sod subdivide the subject as td render the parts of which it was composed less intricate thus they were whets mixed up with the general mass. The Executive Govertinteut could alone conduct this inquiry use fully, fur they most be possessed of all the neces sary information, touch of which it would not.be advisable perhaps for them. to disctose. He there fore joined his Noble Friend in strongly imploring his Majesty's Ministers to take the .object up them melees on their owo responsibility.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of DAIIIILBY also thought the inquiry ought to be general ; but still when he gave the opinion. he very much feared that it was out of the power of Parlisatent, however well disposed, to apply any eifertiihriemedy. This was his firm coif viction ; the state of the country was so deplorable, hr should be glad if the }vault proved his opinion erroneous, but he fesied the result would fully sustain P. Lord ERSZINI agreed that the state of the agricultural interests ought to be considered as well as every other, and that this would be best effected by keeping that branch of the question in a separate and distinct shape. He thought it in the power of the Legislature to apply • remedy to the sgricul. final interests, at once easy, simple, sod com pletely efficacious. The Earl of Dowoutanwoits was folly pendia& ed that it would be impolitic to hold out any hopes to the country of the probable result of their diu. coition, unless their Lordships bad fully made up their minds to enter into • comprehensive inquiry. They ought to make up their minthi is to what re lief they were prepared to apply to any part of the reining grievances ; this was more particularly rendered necessary after what this night hail falai from one of his Majesty's Ministers. The Govern ment had now avowedly thrown off the inquiry from themselves; he was heartily sorry for it, because they had more means, more influence, more efficacy, and he said it respectfully, it was more their duty than it was that of the Noble Lords who sat at the same side of the House with himself. No greater duty could devolve upon the Ministers of the Crown than this inquiry, and he them ought it to be on dertaken fur the satisfaction of the country. There were many persous who were doubtless acquainted with the geoerat state of the nation, but who had not the same opportunity as hi. Majesty's Ministers had of being conversant with all the details of which the Government must, or at least ought to be, in possession.
