(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR-The Sugar Market generally has a languid appear. ante, but the supply of good and fine Muscovades is quite made. quate to the demand ; the whole have been cleared of at full prices : the middling and ordinary hang heavily on hand at the late reduction which we have noticed in the prices, and there have been more limited sales this week than usual, owing, in some mea sure, to the scarcity of good Muscovades, and also to the eaten. sive sales of Mauritius Sugar. The sales of this week are estimated at 2,300 hhds. and trs. In the Refined Market this week there has been little alteration in the prices, but, from the languid state of the trade, the few sales reported are a shade lower. Lumps are reported at its. In fine goods there have been more sales for the home trade. In crushed there is no alteration. Molasses are still heavy. In Refined Goods there is no alteration this afternoon. EAST INDIA SUGARS.-By public sale on Wednesday 15,400 bags Mauritius Sugar sold at much better prices than anticipated ; the few fine yellow at ftilly former currency ; the low browns also supported the late market prices, but the great proportion consisted of Grocery Sugars 55'. a 575. 6d., which went fully Is. lower; nearly the whole was disposed of: Brown, low to fine, 475. a 51s. ; yellow, low to middling, 51s. a 545. ; good 555. a 58s. ; fine 635.

Jamaica of the new arrivals, and for which there is little or no demand : the great proportion has been taken in.

The Coffee Market is steady to-day. 111.5 k, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market, early in the week, assumed some firmness, and the holders refused to sell proof Leewards under 2s. 2d. ; since then there have again been symptoms of pressing sales, and a parcel is reported at per gallon lower. In the other descriptions of Rum there have been few sales, and the Market generally has a languid appear ance. The Brandy by public sale went oti' at fall prices.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.--(LAST NIGHT.) At Half -past Three o'clock to-day the steps of the throne were crowded with Peeresses, and ladies dressed in the first style of fashion, anxious to•wit ness the swearing in of three Catholic Peers. The arguments on the appeal having been concluded at a Quarter before Four o'clock, Lords Stafford, Petre, and Stourton, proceeded to the table, where the oaths were administered by the Clerk ; after which their Lordships respectively shook hands with the Lord Chancellor, and took their seats on the Opposition Benches. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from the city of Durham in favour of the Clarence Rail-way Bill, and moved that it be referred to a Committee. —Ordered. Lord .TEYN HAM moved that the order of the day for the examination of witnesses on the Thorn dike Divorce Bill be discharged, which was agreed to. Their Lordships then adjourned to Five o'clock. The Naval Widows' Pension, Newfoundland, and several other Bills, wei•e•read a third time. Sir ALEX. GRANT brought up the Report with respect to the Police of the Metropolis, which, upon the motion of the Earl of MALMESBURY, was ordered to be printed. Mr. ESTCOURT brought up the Oxford Canal Acts' Consolidation Bill, the Shrewsbury Supply of Water Bill, together with two other Private Bills. Mr. HOME DRUMMOND brought up several Pri vate Bills. Mr. Danvers, from the East India House, brought up an account of Pensions, &c., granted by the East India Company. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from the Ship-owners and Merchants of Sunderland, against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. The Noble Marquis also presented a petition from an individual in the Coal Trade residing near Durham, against the Clarence Rail-way Bill. Lord MALMESBURY gave notice, on the part of -his Noble Friend the Duke of Richmond, that on Thursday week he should bring forward his reso lutions respecting the wool trade, which at the close of the last Sessions he had stated he should bring forward at an early period of the present Sessions, and which he should have done accordingly ere now had it not been for the all engrossing-attention of the measure that had lately been disposed of.--(llear, hear, hear.)—The Noble Lord said that a notion prevailed abroad that in proportion to the importation of corn and wool into this country, there was an exportation of British manufacture. With a view to this point, he moved for returns of all corn and wool, that had been imported into England from the Continent for the last ten vears—namely, from sth Jan. 1819 to sth Jan. 1829; and also of the de clared valuation of the British manufacture exported in those years. The Ylarquis of CLEVELAND presented a pe tition from an individual against the Clarence Rail way Bill. Lord HEYTESBURY presented several peti tions to the same effect. Lord KING also presented a petition from the weavers of Carlisle stating the distressed state in which they were, attributing that partly to the monopoly of the East India Company, partly to the state. of taxation, and partly 'to the 'Corn Laws, and praying for relief. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved, that the Marquis of Salisbury might be added to the Committee for inquirin g into the Coal Trade. Th e Noble• Marquis moved that a number of witnesses be ordered to attend the Committee. Lord SHAFTESBURY moved that the Mar quis of Cleveland might be added to the Committee. Lord WHARNCLIFFE postponed his motion for the second reading of the Game Bill on Tues day next, till Monday week. • The House went into a Committee upon the Lunatic Regulation Asylum Bill, and then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMAIONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. Sheriff BOOTH presented a petition from the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in Council, against the East London Water Works Bill. Mr. PROTHEROE presented two petitions from Chingford and Walthamstow, Essex, against any alteration in Smithfield Market. On the motion of Mr. PLANTA, a new Writ was ordered to be made out for the Borough of East Looe, in the room of Colonel Elphinstone, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Alderman WAITHMAN presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Dunstan's, praying that one-fifth of the Poors' Rates should be levied on St. Dunstan's, and the other proportion from the Liberty of the Rolls; also from the inhabitants of Fleet-street, praying for the removal of a coach-stand opposite St. Dun stall's Church. Several petitions were then presented against Crossley's Patent Bill. On the motion of Mr. GREEN, the Liverpool Church Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. HUME, in presenting a petition from the Gas Company in Montrose, against Crossley's pa tent, took occasion to ask the Hon. Alderma❑ for the City of London whether he meant to persevere in his Bill, Mr. Alderman WOOD replied that he did, and observed that all those who had petitioned against it had been using the invention for many years, and now wanted to get it without paying him any thing for it. He should always persevere in 4 good cause. Col. WILSON said that Mr. Crossley bad, by his own acknowledgment, enjoyed the privilege for 14 years, and had realized 6,0001. per year, and he trusted that the House would see the impropriety of passing this Bill. Mr. AIABRLY considered that the " gocd cause" would be a very difhcult one for the House to adopt. It was not extending the privilege to the inventor, but to the man who had bought his in terest. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from certain hay talomen against any alteration of Smithfield market Mr. CAPEL presented a partition fro m Symonds Inn, against the St. Dunstan 's Church Bill; The LORD MAYOR, in presenting a petition from Messrs. Thompson, against the St. Dun stan', Church Bill, wished to enquire of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer what was his intention with regard to the Auction Duties The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that he had come down to the House with the intention of stating to them his determina tion on that subject. He did not intend to proceed, with his Bill in the present Session. He did' not mean to abandon the principle of the Bill, but he thought it better to allow ample oppor tunity for the consideration of the subject, and he should not therefore persevere in the Bill till next , Session. hut, at the same time, .he assured the House that he did not by any means support the prayer of it. This was the petition of Wm. Cobbett, of Barnes Elms, : a political writer; it was-of very con siderable length, and prayed the House to repeal the Irish Church Establishment. He (Mr. D.) repeated t hat he did not concur •in the petitioner's views awl he would now merely move that it be brought up .and printed, in order that Hon. Members might have an opportunity of forming their own judgment upon it.—Ordered to be printed. COBBETT'S PETITION. Mr. DENISON requested the - attention of the House for a few moment,. A petition had been entrusted to him by one of his constitues.ts, a free holder of the county of Surrey. 'f he Hon. Member felt there was every respect due to all petitions presented to this Hon. House, when they were properly worded; he had therefore presented ; THE SILK TRADE. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN presented a peti tion from the Silk Weavers of Spitalfields, praying the Hotise to take into consideration the distressed state of the Silk Trade. and another to the same effect from the Committees of Silk Throwsters in London.—Laid on the table. Several other petitions of the like nature were also presented. • Mr. RAMSDEN presented a petition from the inhabitants of 'Bolton, in Yorkshire, against the House and Assessed Taxes. • Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Coopers of the county of Limerick, praying that no altera tion tie - made which will affect the butter trade of Ireland.—Laid on the table. SWAN RIVER SETTLEMENT. Mr. HUME said he wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Sir George Murray) a question relative to the Settlement at Swan River, upon which a good deal of anxiety had been created in the public mind by statements that had appeared in some of the leading news papers of the day.—(Hear.)—lt was asserted very confidently that the greater part of the land in front of the river had already been granted to certain in dividuals; and he (Mr. Hume) well knew, that un less this fact was contradicted from authority, it would have the effect of deterring others who might otherwise be disposed to speculate. Sir GEORGE MURRAY said he was very glad that the Hon. Member had mentioned this subject, as he was prepared to give an im mediate answer to the question. Proposals had been made to his Majesty's Govern. ment, respecting a grant of land on Swan River to a very large extent, but it was not thought right to accede to,them until it was ascertained the parties making the application were likely to carry out sufficient number of settlers; indeed, one proposal was made by four gentlemen to take all the frontage of the river, which was declined for the reasons he had already stated. However, it was thought that some individuals might be encouraged, and a grant of 250,000 acres was allotted, upon an assurance that a proportionate number of settlers would be carried out, so as to ensure the cultivation of that quantity of the land. He was glad of this opportunity to assure the Hon. Member (Mr. H.) and the House, that the statements which appeared in the public papers on this subject were founded in error, and he could not account for the motive of their insertion unless it was done to gratify some inte rested persons. He • would also add that every facility of obtaining correct information would be given to any gentleman, of whatever Tank, who was disposed to speculate at the settlement, by application being made in the proper quarter. Mr. WM. SMITH presented a petition from a parish in the county of Norfolk against the La bourers Wages Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that on Friday next he would move for a Committee of the whole House on the Sinking Fund Bills. SILK TRADE. Mr. V. FITZGERALD moved the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Com mittee of the whole House on the Silk Trade. On the motion " That the Speaker do now leave the chair," Mr. FYLER declared his intention to oppose the motion, because he was perfectly satisfied that if this measure were carried, it would inevitably tend to the destruction of the silk trade in this country. He wished particularly to call the attention of the House to the representations which he had received from the city which be had the honour to represent. There were, he was informed, 4,000 looms out of employment at the present moment, and the looms still continued to become vacant, without any pro spect of speedy employment. He was also directed to state, that one individual had given orders that 200 looms should be no longer employed if this mea sure were carried into effect. He believed that this depression of trade was not confined to the city which he had the honour to represent, but extended over the whole comery. He was now anxious to make a few remarks on the arguments adduced by the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade when he recently addressed the House on this sub ject. The opinion of the Right Hon. Gentleman was, that the prevailing distress arose from the ex tension of the manufacture, and from over-trading. Now with respect to the first point, he would say, that the very measure proposed by this new system went directly to create an extension of the manu facture. With respect to over-trading, the manu facturer would be obliged, in consequence of the quantity of foreign goods brought into the market, to lay out capital for the purpose of producing an additional quantity of goods, at a cheap rate, to compete with the foreigner. But though the manu facturer might do this to a certain extent, how would the operative be enabled to exist, when obliged to labour 14 hours a-day in order to produce that which formerly only. required six hours ?—(1-lear, hear.) --.The Right Hon. Gentleman had observed that the trade of Coventry I ,':as greatly extended. He admitted that the trade was in some degree enlarged; but that, he believed arose from an i m provement of the machinery. Although com petition might, to a certain extent, have con tributed to the improvement of the silk trade, yet, when those gentlemen who sttp,perted — the new system had depiived the country of the home m arket, which these measures undoubtedly would, it was for them to show where the manufacturer was to dispose of his commodity in its improved state. But it did surprise him very much, if an ex tension of the trade and over-trading were the wise o f all this mischief, th a t th e Right Hon, Gentleman ha 4 taken Su c h a - yery extraordinary means to cure the evil. What did he propose to do ? Why, to re ' duce the duty on India silks from 60 to 20 per cent. This subject was discussed at the end of the last session, and it was then stated that ship-loads of silk goods were ready to be exported to this couttry the moment th e d uty was lowered, 'flap other re - - medy wtv, to re d uce O w d ut y Vre l nch goods to 32 per eeni. Now'he admitted that there might be considerable distress amongst the silk-manufacturers of France, but they would have the means of send ing their goods to this country, and he ivas cot:- voiced that the influx of silk articles from Indio, end France would plunge the trade ia stih greater dise: tress, and would aggravate those evils which now raged uncontro n ) e d i whieh gave to t h e C e St o . ll l,hease edgier - He also objected to that part an opti on to levy t}n qd vgkirem duty, of tads Bill or a duty by weight -I and he hoped that the Right Hon. Gentle man would be inclined to reconsider that part of the measure. There was another part of the Bill to which he was not friendly, though, under ot'aer cir cumstances, it would be emended with beneficial ef fects. He meant theliailtatiOn of ports. He con ceived, so far as' it went, that this provision might be itseful; but the benefit to be expected from it was PRICE 7D. more than counterbalanced by the great reduction of duty ; because it was of no consequence what mea• cures they adopted to prevent smuggling, if by low ering the duty, they legalized an extensive impor tation. He contended, notwithstanding the draw back, that it would be impossible for the British manufacturer to export goods to the Continent at a rate sufficiently low to enter into competition with the foreign manufacturer. The Hon. Member for Dover (Mr. P. Thomson) had, when this ques tion was before under discussion, indulged in a ge neral philippic against all those who opposed the ne►w system. The Hon. Member for Montrose had tlso observed, that the importation of the raw mate rial had increased, and he had asked triumphantly whether he (Mr. Fyler) did not know that eve'' , orrice of this raw material went to the mill ? But .he Hon. Member never took it into his calculation that a very great quantity of that raw material was waste; neither did he notice the great excess which might lie on the hands of the merchant at the end of the year. He had this morning learned, from the town which he represented that the poor-rates, which were 4d. and 6d. in March, had risen to is. i►► Aptil. He would caution the Right Hon. Gen tleman as to •what nien,.driven to desperation, might be impelled to do. Than the individuals employed in the silk trade, a more loyal, patient, suffering body of people, never existed. But a letter which he had recently received from Macclesfield, where, it appeared, the military had been called out, would show the consequences which might be expected from a system which produced so much mischief. The writer of the letter says, " The town is all in confusion : about 5,000 men yesterday, and the same number this morning, while I am writing this letter, paraded the town. Macclesfield is not the same Macclesfield, literally speaking, as when you left it. There was a great stir on Monday night, several windows were broken, many special con stables have been sworn in, and a troop of horse has also been sent here. The Hon. Member, after al luding to the situation of the weavers in S►pitalfields, moved " That the House go into a Committee on this Bill this day six months." Mr. ROBINSON seconded the amendment. The corn-growers were absolu►ely, positively, and bona fide protected by the present law. Now what the friends of the silk-manufacturers complained of was this—that the law of 1826, so far from giving protection, operated the other way; and therefore he contended, that if no adequate protection could be afforded by the measure to which he had alluded, or by that which was now proposed, it was neither unfair nor unreasonable on the part of the silk-ma nufacturer to ask for prohibition, however unpalat able or disagreeable that request might be to the House. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had charged him with having said that he thanked God he was no political economist. He had said nothing of the sort, nor had he ever undervalued political economy. What he complained of was, that certain abstract principles, upon which the writers on political economy were themselves at variance, should be applied indiscriminately to all cases, however different those cases might be from each other. If this were done, and done, too, without reference to what other countries were do ing, they would bring upon their own country an evil, to which they would find themselves unable to apply a remedy. Reference had been made, with great exultation, to the state of our imports; hut Hen. Members would be deceived if they at tended to those who told them that the Custom house returns were any criterion of the prosperity of our commerce. All the trading nations of ,the world were against us, and though the impression of competition upon our commerce was not yet very striking, still it was a fact that those nations were gra dually supplanting us,and thatlthe greater part of them were endeavouring to exclude us from foreign markets. He begged to remind -those Eon. Members who supported free trade in every thing but corn, that they would not long be allowed to repose upon the measure of last Session, but that they would be called upon to make sacrifices themselves. A pro position. had been made which had been very much laughed at, and which was certainly a very unrea sonable one—ha meant the proposition for a mini mum price of labour. But why had the proposition been made ? Because there was a minimum price of corn, which was just as unreasonable.—(Hear, hear.)—He should regret to draw the agriculture! interest into the distress of the manufacturers—but that must be the consequence if these measuris were persisted in ; and when the agricultural into. rest began to complain, as well as the manufac turers, they would have another person complain ing—he meant the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who would come down to the House and tell them that he could not raise the revenue. He did not wish to indulge in gloomy anticipations. He be lieved the resources of this country to be almost h.- exhaustible if the interests of the country were no sacrificed to foreigner , . In spite of the predictions of Lord Goderich, the foreigner granted us no reci procity, and the trade of the country was falling off. The experience of five years proved that these pie dictions were fallacious. He. warned the Howe how, in a coun►ry like this, with a redundant and still increasing population, they threw thousands out of employment—and, once more, protesting against the measure, he begged to remind Hwt, Members that— " Princes and lords may flourish, ur A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peqsantry, their country's pride, When once destroy'd, can never be supplied." Mr, Alderman WAITHMAN said that the evil they had to contend with was not a new one. It had existed in 1826, and it had been increasing ever since. He knew something of this trade, as well as of the cotton trad e . H e m i g h t say t h at he had known the latter almost from his infancy, A few years ago we carried on a large trade in expensive fanq articles Of t cotton manufacture. He had then given 6s. and Bs., and 10s. a yard, for such articles; but now you could buy a yard of such mantifaetared goods for Is. In 1816 great distress prevailed in the cotton trade. He ktrpv , it well, for in that year he and others lost more than they had ever accu mulated. He maintained that, within the period to which he alluded, there had been a fall of twenty five per cent. in 'the trade, which, in the whole, made a reduction of six millions. This was who had been termed a " revulsion" in the trttc/e, It was, indeed, a revulsion, of the eireets of whi c h tho trade had not got rid Otytotbe present hour, There was no '=ember of that House who was not fully the - distress to which this great branch of the trade of the country has been reduced. He had been in business in 1792, and was old enough to remember that men, who were then worth from . 50,000/. to 60,0001 have been ruined by the 'pre sent system of " free trade" in silk. Irtnight Ito said that c.h4 arose from over speculatiou, It , I,vas true that there always h a d b een specu larion, dull it was WhOleamna and go o d f or tra d e that it sAemlcl be so. Such speculations were as necessary and productive to trade, as hurri,l canes and storms were to the purification of ;he atmosphere. But this was not a ntewe to cure the evil complained of. \`4,s it then, he would ask, fair for Boa. gentlemen to come down to that House roti tell them, that from 1816 to 1828, r he silk 'trade had been increasing ? He would tell the. manner in which that apparent increase had been made out. There had been for some time a trans fer from the fine Taney muslins to the silk trade, and the' band s formerly employed at the muslin% were he in nn unfairlyet: e e e s d i lak u n p td o r a n de cruelly but a h n t re st:le akt e ne t : :: e i ne o nt f oh c ua oa gt h r u s o e of r til silks, st.t}l as bandanas. He himself had never been engaged rough persons engaged in it, to say that it had been most • Members must be aware, that if a shop for the sale of English silks were opened, a:id a shop for the sale of French silks were to be opened close to it, the latter, though selling 20 per cent. higher, would be surrounded with carriages, while tile for mer would remain neglected.—(Hear, hear.)—lle maintained, then, that it was not fair thus to throw open the trade in silk, without considering the inte rests of those who bad large capitals at stake, as well as the thousands of more humble individuals who lived by their labour in it. Ile had never be f ire heard of a Statesman who proposed the free admission of foreign goods into this country without restrictions, while our own manufacturers were pining in want without employment, and that without the slightest equivalent. It had been truly observed that labour was property, and sc cording to Mr. Pitt, three-fifths of the labour of each individual found its way into the Exchequer. Were we then to allow foreigners to partake of such portion of our labours as would otherwise conduce to the sets, vice of the State ? Upori former discussions of this question it was usual to find the House crowded, but he was sorry that upon the present occasion they were called upon to discuss a Bill respecting it, he might say, to empty benches. It was a goes tion which affected - alike the_ agriculturist and the manufacturer. The word " prohibition" seemed to affright Hon. Members on the other side of the House ; they pronounced it so softly that one would imagine they shrunk from the sound and hail a hor ror of it. But he would boldly and fearlessly say, that there must be a prohibition, or else taxation could not go on. He would take one instance, i n which the value and consumption had decreased. A duty, of 3-0, per yard was imposed upon printed calicoes. Formerly that article sold at three shil lings per yard, now they sold at one shilling per yard; so that a servant girl who paid Gs. or 7s. for her garment, paid to, Government a tax of 2s.— According to the statement of the Right lion. Gentleman over the way, there had been a rise of 20 per cent. in woollens. Now, if a tradesman ob tained 5 per cent. profit, he made 101. upon the sale of 2001. worth of goods; but if that 2001. worth of goods was reduced in value to 100/, then, in stead of 5 per cent. he only received 2i per cent.; and thus he nsust work twice as hard, and force his goods down people's throats, in order to gain a livelihood. He was, as much as any man, a friend to free trade, such as he understood it to be. He consi dered :free trade to be the export of the surplus of this country, in order to obtain tile surplus of ens other country, of which we stood in need. Thia interchange of commodities he considered for the benefit of both. But if France, or any other coun try, should not agree to act upon the same system, why, he asked, should England determine to do so ? They had been told that a free trade ought to exist z and that if those persons now engaged in the silk trade could not carry it on with profit, they must turn their capital into some other channel. This might do very well when the trade was first inure. duced, but it was rather too late, after the fostering care and protection which had been extended to ir, to turn round and tell the parties that they should no longer be protected or encouraged, but must shift for themselves. He contended that tile average of imports, as referred to in 1826, was most unfair, as the greater part of the silk imported from Bengel came without being thrown. The Right Hon. Gentleman over the way had told the House that the best criterion of prosperity was consumption ; but in his calculation he omitted some material arti cles in which consumption had decreased—tlity were the following:— In 1824 and 5 the increase in the consumption of beer was 790,000 barrels. In 1826 and 7 there was a decrease of 729,178 barrels. In 1827 a decrease in British spirits of 2i rn - ilians of • In tum of a million gallons. In brandy 180,000 gallon. In sugar of about 250,060 cwt. • There bas been this year an increase of about 100,000 barrels of beer ; an increase in coffee, owing to a fall in price from 100 s. to 40a. ; in cotton wool, to a fall of 50 per cent; and an increase in sugar. There has been a fall of 60 per cent. in sheep's wool. The Right Hon: Gentleman over the way had told them that there had been an increase of exports to the amount of twelve millions within the last year; but how did he make good that statement ? Why, he did so by stating the official value of the articles, whereas in fact the real value was 16 mil lions less. The House might not, perhap ,, , under stand the difference between the official and the de clared valtie of merchandiT.e.,--(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)—ln the year 1814 both were alike; nay, there were sorrw instances in which the declared value of articles was double the official value, I le a others in which it exceeded it by more tfr an one half. In 1816 the export of cotiort '`Was sixteen millions ; in 1817, twelve millions ; but during. the five years before 1828, it was ten millions; and in the last year it was under that sum. In 1816 the official pike of cotton exported was X 21,000,000 The declared value was 16,000,000 . • In 1826, the bfiicial value of Exports was... 26,000,000 The declared value wi j s In 1827, the pffieisl value of Exports was.„ 21,000,00 , 1 The decla.cl value was 10,003,000 4n 182 S, the official value of Exports was 29,000,000 l'he declared value was 15.000,000 After this statement, taken from official docu ments, what must the House think, were they to jet the unfortunate. persons engaged to be allowed to perish ? No ; they must h supported either by trade or by the country, even though they should be employed to dig 'holes and fill them up agr:m. But they lid been : told that a free trade would 'nem fit the shipping interest, inasmuch as if we 'lmported two, millions of merchandise, we shoule, in turn, ex port two millions of our own produce. But was such the fact ? He defied the :Right Hon. Gent, to prove it. Again, they had ben told that there had been an increase of expotts of our manufactures within the last fetw. years. But h o w stoo d t h e f act ? The exports, of the manufactures and produce of the Vulted Kingdom, with the official and de ek4red or real value, fcr the last four years, were as follow : Official Value.. Declared V a l ue . Ditretence. 1825 X47,150,0i8*,. X 38,870,945...

The &et was, that its making such regulations, we must yield to eirecua. stanceswe must he regulated by the conduct of ether States towards us. He would, with the leave of the House, read an extract car two from the speeches of aome of our greatest Statesmen upon this subject. The late Lord Lansdowne, in speak, ing upon the subject., said,--" Our manufacturf: ; s are transitory and Meeting, The productions of France positive and eternal—they remained as long as the earth continued; ought we not, thereiote to receive something in exchange ?
