SHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2S, 18,58. birb vlb'ttion ...in, 4, SUN OFFICE, Seven , o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day. The SNEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Brentford Gas ; Garngad Road ; and Ware, Hadbane, and Buntingford Railway. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CAIRD moved the second reading of the bill he introduced some time since for providing agricultural statistics throughout England and Wales. He said he was anxious to divest the matter of all poli tical and party bias, and to treat it simply as a question of economical science. He then entered upon a series of calculations and returns to show what mis takes both producers and consumers had fallen into in consequence of the want of these statistics. An accu rate system of agricultural statistics would he thoug,ht prevent those serious alternations in prices which had at various times proved so detrimental to the interests 'of the country, by leaving an over supply at one time and repressing the supply at another. He can vassed the statements of hon. members on the report of the committee to inquire into this subject, and said there was no other class of men the Government had not inter fered with to obtain statistics of the trade, but farmers. The cotton trade was subject to these returns, and he de nied that the operation of the act with reference to agriculture would be more inquisitorial than the other trades. He considered the most important information to be obtained was the average of corn grown. It was the least objectionable mode of ascertaining the quantity, and he suggested it should be obtained en the plan adopted in Ireland. The mercantile com munity of this country must be largely interested in obtaining these returns. During the last four years no less than 111,000,000/. bad left this country to pay for food to make up the deficiencies of our harvests, and from the want of proper information large importations of rice had taken place during the lest two years to meet anticipated deficiencies, which had had the effect no doubt of lessening the price of corn. With the excep tion of Spain and Turkey, England was the only coun try without statistical information relative to agricul ture. He proposed the information asked for should be voluntary, and to show it would be trustworthy, he instanced the returns that had been made on that principle during the last ten years in Ireland and for the past four years in Scotland. In Yorkshire, where the experiment had been tried, 991 per cent. of the returns were filled up. He further re• ferred to the numeral statistics compiled from voluntary information. That department of the Board of Trade was the proper medium for carrying out the provisions of the bill. The occupiers of land l:night be obtained from the rate-books of the various perishes, and the schedules to be filled up might be pasieed through the post-office, and he propo-ed that relieving officers should be employed to obtain information witbhel I by occupier. He estimated the cost at belt w 9,0001. or 10,0001. Mr. PACKE said the farmers had been told this bill would do them no harm, but they had a right to ask if it would do them any good. (Rear, hear.) The farmers of England were some years ago reduced to the brink of ruin by the legislation of the house, and in all measures affecting their ioterest they had a right to demand before hand that it should be provee they were for their benefit before they were passed,' True, these returns were to be made by voluntary means, but he was v er y much afraid that if Parliament adopted a pertniesive bill an attempt would soon be m ade to real er it compul sory. lie looked upon the bill as the introduction of the thin edge of the wedge for a compulsory measure. (Hear, hear.) He objected to the farmers affairs being pried into in this manner. No oteer trade was sithjset to such an inquiry into his aflan-s. He saw no diff,:renee between traders in fields anti traders in houses, and he was at a loss to conceiv e why farmers were to be made the exception. If it was of advantage to the community that they should know what, produce the farmer possessed, it would be equally as advantage ous that farmers shoul I know the stocks of tradesmen, whose articles they consumed, and he asked the house if they were prepared to legislate acccordi ngly and make statistics of trade universal. He moved the second read ing of the bill this day six trionthe. Mr. DUOANE seconded the amendment. Ho ob jected to this species of apiculture.' legislation as being calculated to mislead the public, by producing a vast amount of false Infer - natio- (Hear.) Sir G. C. LEWIS said there R 213 a peculiarity con nected with agricultural s tatistics ; it they were to have thorn, that it would be necessary to create a special agency for the purpose. (Hear, hear.) I 5 was per fectly true that a great masa of statistics were laid annually on the table of the house, but inany of them were obtained incidentally in the collection of the re venue, which gave the best possible security for their accuracy, and were rendered without rei,Etional expense, but there Were some returns that could not he made in cidentaily, such as correct information with reference to 1 population. The returns in reference to the population \ were of the utmost importance, and as they cost from I betaeea 140,0)0/. to 150,0001. it was ' desirable to have them on that account Taken at decimal periods. He thought the objections raised to agri cultural statistics that they caused an inquisitorial visitation of farmers' property, and a compulsory meats of obtaining information were clap -trap. His objection, then, was grounded on an opinion that annual statistics would not be valuable for practical purposes. He bad no objection to a return being made every ten years for general information. He quoted Mr. Take and Mr. Newmareit in support of his opinion that agricul tural statistics would be useful for discussion, but not fir political purposes. The cost of obtaining agricultural statistics in Scotland was about 6,0001. ; in Irtland 7,000/. ; and it was estimated it would be 10,0001. for En _land, but he was inclined to believe it would be much in excess of that sum to obtain anything like accuracy. The yield was different in many parts cf the country arising from various causes, and in gather ing stalitics deductions mutt be made for such failures of crepe, requiring great care and judgment, and which, after they were made, would no doubt be dis• puted. If this was to be a purely voluntary collection of statistics there was no necessity for the bill, and if that system was to be adopted in England he did not "e why, if the house gave the necessary amount of means, the collection should nut be made, as in Ireland, but he was, however, inclired to consider tht.t by the sth and llth clauses the collections under this bill would be compulsory, He doubted if the statistics, when olestined, would be worth the sum of money re- q sired to obtain them, but if it could he shown they would be advantageous he would support such a bill as the present. Mr. H. DRUNIMOND did not oppose the bill on the suppiti:na that by so dose g he should keep up the price of the poor man's loaf, but from a belief that no practi cal benefit would result from it. Trio passing of such a bill would give rise to a great deal of pedantry, and by • and-hy they would have some curious ethnologist wishing returns of how many of the yellow-haired Saxons and the black-haired Normans had continued down to the present time. (Laughter.) He wishei to guard against the difference bet eeet; the grower of corn and specula , tors in corn, and be hulled they would never pass a law that would have the effect of turning the grower into a I speculator. (Hear, hear.) The present bill was ouly a means to an end. Mr. CAlRD—That's ell that is intended. Mr. H. D RUM.M.OND--But it ends with the means. (Laughter.) After some other remarks, the hon. gentle man intanated he should oppose the second reading of the bill. Mr. A. TURNER was of opinion that agricultural statistics might be obtained with as much accuracy and a s easily as the manufacturers did theirs with reference to the raw inaterial. Manulacturers delghted in obtain ing information with regard t ) tie raw material in their trades, and the cotton reanufacturere kept agents riding abou t, America to obtain the earliest and best informa tion relative to the cotton c ro p. He thought it would be desirable to have the fullest it formation relative to the stock in the hands of wholesale and retail dealers 0 roughou tale eingdeus. By knowing the quantity and price of corn in the country, farmers would be better able to regulate the sales of their own crops. He knew many f a mers who had retained crops in land from erro neous information when wheat was at 80e. a quarter, and who had afterwards been obliged to sell them for 403 per quarter. (Hear.) He del not expect these sta tistics"t they would afford immense would be p erfect, information, and every year would t en d t owar d s attain ing perfection. (H.) Mr. BENTINCK opposed the second reading of the bill. No practical good would result from this measure, but it would produce increased jobbery in corn, and induce farmers to become eenkiehheee• He could imagine nothing so mischievous as turning the corn-grower into the corn jobber. Ile °ejected t the tusking of relieving officers cellectore of statistics from new ling fermere. It would transfer the relieving offices into an authorised spy on the fernier, and be productive of much m ischief and irritation between the parties. He consi lered the provisions cf the bill in stating, insulting, and offensive to the farmere. BM(' it had been asserted by two pre eioMesr. L s peakers lbTi)7il that li this bill would nave, the effect o f ma king farmers speculate in corn. But what, be asked, was a speculator I A. speculator was a man who , and th e f armer being at played a gam e of chance present in the dark as to the aouot of agricultural pre duce in this country he bad to rn play the game of chance, and was in reality a speculator.

Cne damage done will amount to several thouserd pounOu. be obtained to a great extent en the voluntary principle, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT and he suggested that the hon. mover of the b ill should T. withdraw it, leaving it to the executive to carry out a voluntary system of statistics in England similar to those of Ireland and Scotland. Mr. HENLEY did not approve the introduction of the bill, but having seen its details he much condemned them. Speaking of the mode of obtaining voluntary in formation, the right hon. gentleman said, according to the census, there were 230,000 farmers in England, but if they were to take in all the occupiers of five acres of land there was no knowing how much that number might be increased, and if they omitted sending forms to all the bakers, butchers, tinkers and tailors who might occupy five acres of land, and would by this bill coma under the class of farmers to be filled up, any one so left out would render the returns inaccurate. The right hon. gentleman then entered at great length into the difficulties of ob taming accurate inf 'rmation by the mode of procedure suggested under the bill ; and in reference to compulsory returns, said the farmers were ready to do anything if treated kindly, but if they were treated differently they had a very expressive phra.e of conveying their dislike—viz , "you don't know how awkward we can be when we like "—(laughter)—and he thought they would be found very awkward to deal with in reference to compulsory returns. The returns made through the machinery proposed would not be cempleted till Sep tember, when it would be useless for practical purposes. He was unable to give an estimate of the expense of a voluntary return. He urged the hon. gentleman to accept the advice given by the hon. gentleman (Mr. Cardwell) and withdraw the bill. Accurate information would be invaluable, but inaccu rate returns would not be worth the paper on which they were written, and as he thought the later would be the case he could not agree to the second reading of the bill. Accurate returns might be made periodically, and he thought they might be made at a little expense. When the census was taken the same objection would not be raised to periodical returns that existed against annual returns. Mr. MILES expressed his surprise that so much op position had been raised in that house to agricultural statistics, and he doubted vary much if it was shared in by the farmers enerally. He knew many farmers who had no objection to returns being made of the acreage of crops sown. What they objected to was returns being made of their produce and stock. All they required was steady and remunerative prices. (Hear, hear.) The improvements that had of late taken place in agriculture gave beneficial and remune rative prices where they did not before ex ;st. (Hear.) He took a pleasure and pride in stating that the farmers of Eng land had put their shoulders to the wheel, and he be lieved they were able n itv to meet the foreigner in the English markets. He should support the second reading of the bill for asserting the principle, and he called upon the hon. gentleman to adopt the suggestion made, that cf leaving to the Government the weds in which they should be obtained. He was convinced agricultural statistics weeild prove highly beneficial to agriculture. (Hear, and cries of "Divide. r ) Mr. STAN HOPE objected to the bill. Sir J. SHELLEY also opposed the bill from its im practicable cleara,eter. He hoped the introducer of the bill would not press its second reading. After some remarks from Mr. W UITESIDE, Mr. E. BALL opposed the bill. He defied any go• verntnent to pass a bid com e elling return of stock and acreable produce. This bill had been shattered to pieces by the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Henley), and he ad— vised the hon. member Caird) to pick up the fragments and take them out of the house. (Laughter.) Mr. CAIRD declined to withdraw the bill. In com mittee he should be prepared to submit alterations to meet the objections raised to it, or, if preferable, aft r the house had affirmed its principle he would leave it to the Government to carry out.
