made to them-not with the view of exciting dis coment at recent legislation—but if the truth had been fairly told them, we need not have waited until to-night for the settlement of this question, but at least four years that question would have been fi nal ly settled by the t o eral assent and concurrence of the nation. (Hear.) 1 must own, sir, that what I must call double-dealing has been carried on up to the results of the recent elec tions. (Hear, hear, and cheers from the Opposition.) Now, it has been said that the Earl of Derby has acted v a ry fairly, that he put before the country this question, A re you for free trade or are you for protection ? I shall be ready to bring forward protective measures if the country is clearly for them, but otherwis e I s h a ll assen t to the free-trade policy hich has of late years been adopted." Why, sir, I certainly do not wish to say anything harsh of Lord Derby. (Ironical cheers from the Ministerialists.) Besides other considerations, in udging of Lord Derby, one should look to what his pre vious conduct had been with respect to office. I cannot but recal to mind, in speaking of the conduct of the noble lord, that when I was his colleague in the Admin istration of Lord Grey, he left that Cabinet because he could not concur in the measures that were proposed. Again, in 1845, he left the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, because he could not give his assent to the repeal of the corn laws ; and last year, when he wished to propose some duties on corn, and found that he could not make a Ministry upon that principle, he abandoned the attempt, and gave up what must have been the highest object of b's ambition. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, then, I say that with regard to the man, one ought not to judge prematurely or upon partial grounds that he has departed from that character and that honour which becomes a great public man in a high station. But I must say that the theory upon which he seems to have gone was a theory utterly impracticable with this constitution, and with this Parliament—(hear, hear, hear)—that if he had been the Sovereign of this country, or if he had been an abso lute Sovereign in any country, he might have said, " Let the people decide, and let them tell their represen tatives their own views with respect to commercial policy ;" but in this country, as the head of a party, it was inevitable that those who were joined with him should take part on one side or the other in the elections, and thus we have had a most extraordinary spectacle, and a most extraordinary result, because we had gentle men going into the towns and saying, "We are against any tax on bread ; we could not bear a rotura w clic COril Itrtv o, and Wu auppnrt Lora Derby ;" and other gen tlemen going into the counties and saying that the great est mischief had been done by the repeal of the corn laws, and that they were for protection, and therefore that they supported Lord Derby, the Administration all the while helping both, and taking care to provide them with the best means of securing their election. (Hear, hear.) They said to Mr. A, in the town, "You must take care that you are for a large loaf, and that you will never hear of protection ;" while at the same time they said to Mr. B, in the county, "You are to take protec tion for your motto, and you must declare for a restora tion of the corn laws." (Hear, hear, from the Opposi tion, and loud cries of "No, no " from the Ministerial benches.) I will not detain the house at this time of night, but instances of that conduct have been given over and over again. They were stated by the right honourable gentleman the member for Edinburgh in the speech which he made at Edinburgh, and he goes through the different places and the different profes sions that were made at them. Why, sir, I believe, in deed, there was one case of a gentleman who stood in a county on protection principles, and failing in that, he stood for a town on free-trade principles. (Loud cries of " Shame, shame," from the Ministerialists.) Well, if it is absolutely necessary, I will come down another evening—(the remainder of the noble lord's sentence was drowned in renewed cries of " Shame" from the Mini sterial benches). Well, but what was the result ? Why, the result has been, that we have seen it stated by a gen tleman who still remains on the side of protection, that in many places a Protectionist candidate would have succeeded, had it not been that the Government sup ported the free trade candidate. That is the statement made by a Protectionist, not by a member of the Government, but by one associated with them. And then comes the noble lord at the head of the Government, and he makes, as I understand him, this statement. I certainly do not wish to misrepresent him, though I think he has often misrepresented me, but should on that account be only the more anxious not to treat him in the same way. But as I understand him, he says, " This country has de cided in favour of its present commercial policy ; that being the case, I am ready to adopt it, and to support and carry measures in consonance with the free-trade po licy, but I still believe there is great danger in that po licy, and that—but God grant I may be wrong—great calamities may ensue from this course." Well, that is a new position for a Minister of this country. When Sir R. Peel dissolved Parliament in 1834, he announced what his principles were in what was called the Tam worth manifesto. He stated the principles by which he meant to abide. The integrity of the Irish Church was one thing by which he meant to abide. He did abide by it, and when he was defeated upon a motion made by me, he gave up office. (Hear, hear.) Again, when Lord Melbourne proposed his measures in 1841, he said—" I propose certain duties on corn, sugar, and timber." The result of the elections was unfavourable to him ; the House of Commons came to a vote against him, and he at once retired. But you have now a provision for a perpetual Ministry. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) That has been the case hitherto, according to the constitution of this country. Ministers have had certain opinions, certain views, certain principles ; and if they found that they were thwarted in those principles, when they thought that they ought to be carried into effect, they no longer remained in office. (Hear.) But as I understand at present the case stands thus :—" If the country ap prove of protection, I will carry protection measures, but if the country approve of free trade, then I will bring forward free-trade measures ; but if lam right, and free trade produces great calamities, then I turn Protectionist again." And thus the same Minister may be a Pro tectionist, then a Free-trader, and then again a Pro tectionist. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) That would be a new thing in the history of this country ; and giving the noble lord the utmost credit for thinking that his course is consistent with integrity, and that he can reconcile it to his own sense of duty, I still say that it is an example full of danger. (Hear.) But then the right hon. gen tleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer has adopted this policy. Now he has shown to the house that while he was connected with the cause of protection, he did not faithfully serve the cause of protection. I say there fore, now that he has espoused the cause of free trade, let us take care that he is not as faithless to the cause of free trade. (Hear, hear, and loud Opposition cheers.) When we observe, that which we must most of us ob serve, that in the course of his speeches when he sat on this side of the house, he never boldly put forth such opinions as the noble lord the member for Leicester shire expresses, and that he never defended with any earnestness that cause of protection, although it was very satisfactory to the house that that cause was not urged with more sincerity and with more zeal, and although that was an advantage to the cause of free trade, still it would be quite a different thing if the cause of free trade were in his hands—(hear, hear) — and it would be a great loss to that cause which we prize if it were not properly represented by the right honourable gentleman, if its principles were in any way departed from, and if any measures were proposed con sistent with free trade, and extending free trade, but not "prudently " extendin g free trade (according to the phrase of the amendment), by which free trade measures might become odious and unpopular. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, sir, I think it is the duty of the House of Oommons to watch the course of the right honourable gentleman, and to take care that in his free trade policy he does that which is best for that cause. (Hear, hear.) When Sir R. Peel came down, in 1846, he said, "I have changed my opinions ; I render that homage to the cause of truth as to declare that I will no longer be guided by the observations of 1842." Every one sitting on this side of the house at once gave full credit to his de claration. We believed entirely, and we are justified by the event in doing so, that he had embraced completely that system of commercial policy which is now connected for ever with his name, and that we should have his support. The only advice that I had to give my friends during that struggle of 1846, and which I gave both to the members of the House of Commons and to the members of the House of Lords, with whom I was politically connected, was to give their suport to Sir Robert Peel in that great struggle which he was carrying on, I felt quite sure that he would conduct it in the most skilful, in the most able, and in the most prudent manner to an end, but have no such confidence in the professions of the right honourable gentleman. (Hear, hear, and . cheers.) I think the comparison of the honourable member for Bir mingham may not be a very elegant or refined one per haps, but may be quite true, and that there would be great advantage to the country in having new measures fr om new men. I should be quite ready to have those teem ures proposed, and I for one should be sorry if b ro re h otion t o - n i g ht s h ou ld prevent them from being vat c forward. B u t I t hi n k t h at we are b oun d to co urse with jealousy those measures, and the whole wh o ar : e ti . ils debate has shown that there are many V erse 41017,1 --) rotectionists at heart, and who, if any re- Country, happ e n ir o in the commercial prospects of this should p r ver-speculation or the state of the currency lend their aid . I lee tem eir aid and P I•.ry distress, would be ready to the old system. ` Join in a g it a ti on f or a return to is our dut y to wa ', - .. e,_ 1 ar, hear.) I say , t h ere f ore, that it ment. (He ar , hear ": the proceedings of the Govern- Mr. WALPOLE „ ai a ci n t d che ers.) fallen from the noble lorit ha th t B"a° observations which had member for London, induced him to make a few remark s b e ef w o e r e the debate was closed. The noble lord's observations (Reel: some respects similar to the resolutions before them, parts, and were hear.) They themselves into three divided of a prospec himselfentid3e cond uc t of use: of the O p _ tive character. Those pointsand w ais er o e n t the and his colleagues, position on the subject of the corn la ws e . prospective part offered some prophecies as t r he na l b Y , the which he supposed his right hon. friend intended tottbdget, forward; and, thirdly, observations on the conduct of the l or d a t th e h ea d o f the Government. A s to the fi rst subject, whether we adopt the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton, or the amendment of it, which has b een moved by th e no bl e l or d the member for Tiver ton, th e only point to bo considered was, whether theyas . w ere prepared t o say, th a t th e measure of 1846, W In all re spects • • observatio wise, it:lst, and beneficial." The part ofhe which the noble lord had made on that should never sub ject, confirmed him in saying that he that On which the agree to proposition. The grounds were, that it was i e na pe oli of the corn laws was resisted P tic to for our supplies of depend upon foreign nations f -th Were in h at the corn laws themselves armony with the commercial matters, and neral poli c y o f th e country i n brould introduce that was sudden the cha nge which the repeal Wel Polo) mu' into the h awl precipitate. Quo in 1a46, when the quention IIIEI was first mooted. He voted against Sir Robert Peel on that question, and he might say he never uttered a word in any degree harsh against the distinguished statesman by whom that great commercial change was proposed. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, he deprecated the attacks that were directed against him, and only discussed the question as a question of policy. Now, he contended that the grounds to which he had adverted were of a nature to jus tify him in giving a silent vote, and the last two grounds justified him in not concurring in the measure as a just one. (Protectionist cheers.) Wisdom and justice could not be predicated of any measure unless it were equally beneficial to every class. He did not desire to raise a corn-law debate, but there were reasons which he con ceived justified him in opposing the resolution of the honourable member for Wolverhampton. There was the authority of Adam Smith for this general proposition in political economy, that it was wrong to remove pro tection from any particular interest hitherto protected, without giving it an opportunity of adapting itself to the altered circumstances of the times. Every such change, said the great economist, should be effected by a gradua tion. (Hear, hear.) Now, as to the second topic in the noble lord's speech, he could not forbear making a few re marks. The noble lord, taking up the expression of the right honourable baronet the member for Carlisle, had assumed in his speech that they were going to give what he called, or understood to be, a compensation to the landed interest, and he had employed a strong argument against any such supposed compensation preparatory to the budget itself being laid before the house. The noble lord could not fail to remember that if there was one thing more than another he had insisted upon in speeches from the Throne, it was that a paragraph should be inserted de ploring the existence and extent of agricultural distress. The noble lord, when he heard the budget, would find his his suspicions totally unfounded. He (Mr. Walpole) was not at liberty to enter into the budget, which his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer would do in the course of his duties, and with far greater ability than him self ; but he could assure the house that it would be founded strictly on the resolution which the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to move as an amendment to the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton ; that was, that they unreservedly adhered to the policy of 1846—0 f free trade, as they (the Free-traders) called it—of unrestricted competition, as they (the Protectionists) called it. They would adhere to it, fairly and fully, and the measures they proposed to intro duce should not be inconsistent, or interfere with it. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the third point. he thanked the noble lord for the fair and honoutablo manner in which he had spoken of the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment. He (Mr. Walpole) had seen in the last few months much of that noble lord, and he believed no minister ever lived who was actuated by purer and higher motives, and he was sure he would scorn to act in any other way than honesty and the precepts of the constitution prescribed. (Protectionist cheering.) The noble lord was perfectly sensible that if they had taken office on principles they had renounced, they were no longer entitled to retain it. Let him remind the noble lord that the question of commercial freedom was not the only question, nor by any means the most important one, which constituted the bond of union of honourable gentlemen on that side of the house (the Govern ment side). He must remind the noble lord that they did not come into office by any motion of their own. They came into office because the noble lord had not the confidence of his supporters; 2dly, because the noble lord recommended that Lord Derby should be sent for; and, thirdly, because Lord Derby and his followers were at that time, in point of num bers, the only party likely to obt a i n the confidence of Parlia ment and of the country. Ifit were not so, bring the point to the test. They only held office under the conditions of the constitution. They did not desire to hold office a day longer than they ought to, and he must say—and he said it with regret—that he wished those eliminations and re criminations which he had heard in the course of that de bate, as to gentlemen on one side only seeking office for the emoluments which belonged to it, and gentlemen on the other side only aiming at it for the same purpose, might no longer be heard ; for he utterly disbelieved that the majority of public men could be actuated by any such motives. All he could say was, that the noble earl would not hold office a day longer than his political justification warranted him. The right hon. gentleman the member for Wiltshire had said that Ministers holding certain opinions, and not carrying them out when they had the opportunity, being in office, ought not to remain in office. He (Mr. Walpole) contended, however, that neither the abandonment of opinions on conviction, nor the retention of them when unable to carry the m out, were disqualifi cations of men in office. (Protectionist cheers.) And, if otherwise, he did not know who would hold office for any length of time. If it were otherwise, as the right hon. baronet the member for Carlisle once said, he would con cur with Lord Ashburton, in saying that the country was not worth living in. (Hear, hear.) He was pre pared to adhere to the policy of free trade, upon the same grounds that the most stedfast Protestant adhered to the Emancipation Act, and that the purest Tory adhered to the Reform Bill of 1832. (Hear, hear.) He was bound to vindicate the character of his noble friend at the head of the Government, and believing that they had a higher policy to carry out, namely, a Conservative policy, which had been always their bond of union, until the house with held its confidence from them, they should feel it their duty, as Ministers of the Crown, to maintain those prin ciples by which they were united, and in the maintenance of which he believed they would best consult the welfare and happiness of the country. (Loud cheers, and calls for a division.) Mr. COBDEN then rose and said—Mr. Speaker, on this, probably the last occasion on which the controversy be tween protection and free trade may ever be pressed on this house, it may probably be not presumptuous in me to offer a few observations. (Hear, hear.) Upon the last and most solemn occasion on which this question was treated—on the second reading of the bill of 1846—1 re member it well, because it was a cause of the greatest uneasiness to my mind—the noble lord the member for Tiverton took a similar course to what he has taken on the present occasion. It is no secret that in that Par liament there was a very large majority of the House of Commons who in their hearts were opposed to a repeal of the corn laws. Perhaps it would not be too much to say that two-thirds of the members were by in terest, if not by conviction, opposed to it, and pro bably not more than twenty members of the House of Peers were favourable to it. Now that which gave me, as one most deeply interested in the success of the measure, the greatest concern was, lest there should be a sufficient num ber of leading statesmen of the day, on either side of the house, willing to carry on the business of the country and maintain the duty on corn. For I was sure it only re quired a sufficient organisation of such men, with the sup port the House of Commons would have willingly given them, to defeat the purpose of Sir Robert P ee l, a nd give us a xed duty on corn. Under these circumstances, when I heard the noble lord, the member for Tiverton, at the conclusion of his speech at that time, declare that he was still in favour of a fixed duty—that declaration, which is still vivid in my recollection, gave me great anxiety. Now, sir, the noble lord's political course has since that time been the subject of great controversy in this house. I was one of six on this side of the house who refused to vote for Mr. Roebuck's motion, and my feelings with relation to the noble lord's foreign policy, were affected by his con duct with reference to great questions at home. (Question and order.) When I heard that Lord Aberdeen gave his vote in favour of the repeal of the corn laws. (Cries of " Question," which drowned the remainder of the sentence.) I mention this as a reason why the juveniles, as they are called in thiahouse, should not follow the noble lord into the same lobby. When the noble lord rose, with that blandness which characterises him, to suggest the alternative of his amendment, we were under the impression that the noble lord, who at present sits at this side of the house, would, unless we accepted his mediation, have withdrawn his amendment. It appears, however, that although the noble lord is perfectly aware that nine-tenths of hon. members on this aide of the house will, with few exceptions, vote with the hon. and learned member for Wolverhampton, yet the noble lord has pressed his amendment into the ser vice of the Protectionist Government, and if this division should result unfavourably to the free-trade cause, the country will understand—(loud murmurs from the Minis terial midis of the house)—that the noble lord—(renewed murmurs)—is the author of our disasters. (Oh, oh, from the Protectionists, and loud cheers from the Opp os iti on .) I do not complain of the terms of the amendment per se as the noble .lord has given it. Ido not complain of the terms of the amendment so much because it does not go to the full extent of the affirming of free-trade principles. What I object to. in the noble lord is, that when free trade is per fectly safer-and nobody can now believe it is in danger— you might as well believe that you could pull the stars out of the firm ament, as that you could now impose a duty on corn—the noble lord has, by his intervention, and by uniting with the Protectionists, taken the only course which leaves a chance of danger open. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) ' Were the motion of my hon. and learned friend adopted b y a majority of this house that would, so far as a vote eon], I go, bar any claim to compensation—(hear, hear) —but by refusing to acknowledge that the repeal of the corn laws in 1846 was just, and, by excluding the word " proper! ;y" from where it appeared in my hon. and learned friend's a lotion ' the noble lord has just opened the door for the quest ion of compensation. Now, Ido not deny what has been . said on the other side that it is perfectly compe tent for any member to bring 'forward a motion to grant compense; don to the landed interest. Nay, Igo further ; if the mnj ority of the house decided that we should not grant col n pensation, still, if any hon. member thinks other wise, it ist his bounden duty to bring it before the house. But what we want on this occasion is, to affirm, by a vote of this ho' a.se, that the majority of the house are of opinion that the r epeal of the corn laws was a just measure, and that, in I consequence of that repeal, no party had any claim for compensation. (Hear.) Now, the noble lord wants to I arevent us from taking that course. The noble lord has m x t said a word against the motion of my hon. friend ; on -the contrary, he said he approved of it, and would vote. , for it if necessary. The noble lord has not ad verted to ti to arguments on the other side for the purpose of showing ; that they were wrong. He has not proceeded in the max ner a friend of ours should. Master of argu ment as he i s ' he has employed his talents not to bring the opposite pa] -ty over to our views, but to bring us over to theirs. (He .Sr, hear.) Now, what is the objection to the word "just' ?" lam told it is objected to by those who are not Free-traders at all. I know by the cheers of gentlemen opposite, th At a great many of those hon. members are still Protectior is ts. Now, if that be the case, we do not expect them to vat e for this resolution. Those gentlemen will as much bet - ra y their principles as Protectionists, by voting for the nc dile lord's amendment as for the resolution of my hon. frier td. If any man thinks free trade injurious, and protectior t a sound principle, that man betrays his con science an d hi's duty to his constituents by voting for either of those Erne-trade resolutions. (Hear, hear.) But the great ques ti on now is, whether the act of 1846 was just to wards the great body of the people, or whether it was a law which' only served a small fraction of the people, latter be tb a effect of the law, then we have a right to anrogat e it, but if the former, it ' should be maintained, and no claim f hon.t h n e ly r l e g h liv e e n 0;1 0 ( inj u „ No _ ? e l • compensation should be allowed, because the h the law would inflict on the few would be nopoiy . 01 ' 1 1 %sum of the injury perviously inflicted by mo how the c orarnenl he many, and instead of granting compensation, I be the best possible claim for restitution.

The hon. gentleman was frequently in terrupted while perusing the extract, most of which was lost in cries of " Divide," that constantly resounded from the Ministerial side of the house.] During that period we had the Capel-street conspiracy, and the outbreak of the blanketeers, which led to the Manchester massacre. (Oh, oh from the Ministerial side of the house.) He (Mr. Cobden) very much doubted whether the greatest politica changes which took place in this country had not resulted from the corn law of 1815. (Oh !) That law put a prohi bition duty on corn until it reached 80s. a quarter in this country. What was the state of this country in 1841 ? Why the whole of the districts in Lancashire and York shire were given over to desolation. Stockport had then 3,000 empty houses. The people, reduced almost to despair, by an extraordinary instinct had abandoned their houses and workshops, and went to the roadside. Now all those sufferings were as clearly traceable to the corn laws as any effect could be to its cause. (Hear, and Oh, oh.) U you looked to the prices of corn at that time in Russia, Prussia, Germany, and America, and compared them with the price in this country—a price sustained by artificial means—you would find that the greatest disparity existed, and that if the barrier of monopoly had been broken down, you would have had millions of quarters coming in to feed the unhappy masses of the country. The Registrar- General's report showed what were the effects of this unjust restriction on the health of the people, and our criminal statistics proved that as the price of corn rose crime increased, and as it fell crime diminished. (Hear, hear.) In 1836, when wheat was as low as 395. sd. a quarter, the commitments were little more than 20,000; but in 1842, when wheat was dear, the commitments, ex ceeded 30,000. In 1850, when the price fell again, the commitments also fell to 26,813. From 1846 to the pre sent period, notwithstanding the increase in the popula tion, the commitments had decreased more than 5,000. (Hear, hear.) Was it not, therefore, clear that the corn laws had 'produced all those calamities which, as Christians, we prayed might be averted ? He would then ask whether it was wrong to brand those laws as unjust ? (Cheers.) But while they were discussing whether the odious epithet of just should be applied to the repeal of the corn laws, the only communications with which he was troubled were complaints that the Free-traders were too quiet, and did not assert their principles with sufficient ardour. (Oh, oh, from the Ministerial side.) Hon. gentlemen opposite had been allowed to assume too much the tone of a griev ance. They complained that the Free-traders were too harsh, and wanted to trample on those that were down. He saw no symptoms of being down among the snmort.rs of the Government. On the contrary, he had seen very high spirit maintained among them, and he saw also, with feelings much akin to disgust, the way in which a por tion of the other side of the house treated the son of the illustrious man to whom we owed this measure. He (Mr. Cobden) complained of gentlemen opposite, not because they behaved badly to Free-traders, but because they behaved badly to those who sent them to Parliament. Some of them claimed compensation on the ground that free trade had done some injury to the farming interest ; but he complained that the landlords of this country had been the authors of all the mischief that had ensued. For six years they had kept alive the delusion about the resto ration of protection. Those six years might have been better employed as a transition state for the farmers, for he admitted, that in getting back from a vicious system to a sound one, inconveniences must be felt by somebody. That was the penalty which people who went astray had to pay for being put right. (Hear, hear.) But the transi tion penalty should not be thrown on the farmer' shoulders. The landlords had enhanced the mischief, by sending round the honourable member for Warwickshire (Mr. Newdegate) to delude the tenant farmers. That honourable member had called him (Mr. Cobden) a successful dema gogue. He could not return the compliment. (Laughter.) He had been sent on the platforms at Drury-lane and Con cert-hall, to do his best to keep alive the delusion. Such gentlemen had been the mortal enemies of the farmer. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Cobden) would advise the hon ourable member for Cambridgeshire, a tenant farmer, to keep out of bad company. (Laughter.) This metropolis was a dangerous place, especially in the political world. The honourable gentleman said the farmers had been nearly rained during the last six years, but what had the agents of the landlords done for the farmers ? He tells them not to talk about rent—about clearing away hedge-rows and diminishing game. (Cries of " Oh, oh !" and interruption.) He was aware he was coming to the marrow. (Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") The agents told the tenants to look to protection ' and to depend on Mr. Newdegate, who had 100 protection societies throughout the country. (Derisive opposition cheers.) The honourable and gallant Colonel cheered. (Colonel Sibthorp here called out " Hear, hear," in so loud and boisterous a tone as to call forth laughter from both sides of the house.) He (Mr. Cobden) had read the gallant colonel's address at Lincoln, and he had marked his conduct there and in that house; but he was sure the gallant colonel would agree with him when he said that he was not persuing the course of hon. gentlemen around him. If these gentlemen had principles, they did not show that they were worthy of good principles. They came into that house to maintain protection, and they told the farmers it was the cause of justice. But, although they came there to maintain protection, they were ready to say they were for free trade, if they could get the noble lord the member for Tiverton (Lord Palmerston) to draw up an amendment. (Cries of Divide, divide.) If they persevered in their inter ruption, it would redound on themselves. (Cries of Oh.) What was the language they had held in that house? They said they were in a minority—but they would bow to the majority. Did the Free-traders do so ? When he (Mr. Cobden) came into Parliament in '4l, for Stockport, a vote of want of confidence was moved against the Government by the hon. member for the West Riding of Yorkshire on the question of free trade—and what did the Free-traders do? Did they bow to the majority of 90, which turned the Government out ? No ; they set manfully to work, and they gained the representation of Yorkshire. (Cheers.) If the Protectionists think their cause to be just, let them take the same course. He (Mr. Cobden) would say that they wanted the courage of their countrymen if they did not take that course. If they retained their convictions, don't let them vote for the amendment of the noble lord (Lord Palmerston), or for the resolution of his hon. friend (Mr. Villiers.) Let them maintain their prin ciples, and if they be just they could not fail o f su ccess . He thought he could not speak too strongly of the insult offered to their reason and their common sense by the language that had been held by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of the debate. (Cries of ‘: Oh, oh," and interruption.) He had tried to make them believe that he had not been encou raging the party who called for protection. Why, he had a pocketful of extracts to prove that the right honourable gentleman had done so. He bad told them that he had measures in store for the agricultural interest, and yet the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Wal pole) had told them that they were not to expect, in the budget, any remedial measures for the agricultural interest. The question really at issue that night—(interruption)—he was going to say that the question at issue was to vote for a resolution in support of a free-trade policy, and to vote for a resolution for free trade accompanied with compen sation. (Cheers and interruption.) Looking at free trade as a measure calculated to put an end to injustice, to sedition, and rebellion—(loud cries of Oh, oh, from the Ministerial side)—he should vote for the resolution of his honourable friend (Mr. Villiers) and he should most em phatically state that the question of free trade was not settled, while those who had taxed their bread-baskets had their hands in their pockets. (Loud cries of " Divide, divide," for several minutes.) Mr. BUTT could not recognise anything in Mr. Cobden's past conduct or station that justified him in assuming the tone of a dictator. The motion, as interpreted by M r . Cobden's speech, was not to approve of free trade, but to record the triumph of himself, and what was known as the Manchester school, and to humiliate every section of the house. With regard to the motions, Mr. Butt explained that he could not, with his Protectionist opinions, vote for the amendment, but with a clear conscience he could oppose the motion. Mr. GLADSTONE said, it was not his intention to have addressed the house after the speech of the right honourable gentleman, the member for Wiltshire (Mr. Herbert), after the speech of the noble lord, the member for the city of London (Lord J. Russell), and still more after the soothing speech of the right honourable gentleman (Mr. Walpole.) He was‘content, in speaking on the question, to pass by the antecedent conduct of the men who now held the reins of office. But he had heard an appeal from an hon- Sir Robert Peel, in which he h a d expressedana ourable member (Mr. Cobd en ) t o the friends of the late da astonishmentheyt c a o t ul t d he be mu fo r iL itnhetyheingalltenerdyed to pursue, votingon this question with the Protectionists. He could not, therefore, hear that appeal in silence. The reason, then, why the friends of Sir R. Peel would be found voting for theresolutiou of the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) was because they believed their vote to be dictated by the principles of justice. He (Mr. ni ght from th e however, Gladstone) was quite certain that the hon. member (Mr. Villiers) when he proceeded to frame his motion, did not I heard t wou l d appear, that hon. member (Mr. Cobden) that the object of the objection firnotem nd th t° e explanation excitepart ytheyhad warfare. able words was to exclude the question of compensation. (Hear, hear.) But he (Mr. Gladstone) took a different view of the matter, and would say that from no rational con struction of the words could they draw such a conclusion. (Hear, hear.) The epithet used was that the repeal of the corn laws was just. It might be so, but collateral c l a i ms might arise for compensation. (Ministerial cheers.) It might be just to abolish the slave trade, but just to give compensation. (Cheers.) He was simply arguing from the words they re lied on, and which did not bea r th e meaning oiven to them by the hon. member for the W es t Ri d i ng rMi. Cobden). He (Mr. Gladstone) did nofforget or under value the services that hon. member had given t o f ree trade. Complain they might of the course of argument pur sued in that house, but it could not be denied that he h a d been mainly instrumenta l in the triumph of that measure. The dirtinction between them was this : — The Secretary o f that evening, • State, who had addressed the house was a jest or that in 1856 he did not think free t h ra o c e does think j tha r t a pol i c s v e policy ; but he says that now what was the difference between" both wise and just. Then, . this feeling, united in that them ? Why, that they wer e while hon. gentlemen opposite were obliged to put up with t they were wrong, the hard necessity . of b e cause they believed the they on his side joined them, measure of free trade was wise, just , and beneficial, which hon. gentlemen on the opposite side also assented to. (" No," from the Ministerial benches.) If this were so, why need they travel back to the year 1846, for the pur pose of finding out materials with which to insult hon • gentlemen opposite ? He put it with confidence to the hon. gentleman who brought forward this motion, and he . had no hesitation in declaring that the resolulion was drawn up in form of language for which there was no Par litmentary precedent. He did not mean to say that there was no precedent for a motion to adopt a similar resolu tion to that moved by the hon. and learned gentleman, but he did contend that there was no case as a precedent where such a resolution was adopted by the house, and if the house would allow him he would refer to a case which had the closest analogy to the present one of any that he was acquainted with. He alluded to the case of the celebrated appropriation clause, and he did not refer to the case for the purpose of creating any bitterness of feeling between parties on the present occa sion. The noble lord (J. Russell) could well bear a refer ence to this case, for it was one of those rare cases in which the noble lord, notwithstanding the ability and judgment which he displayed in the conduct of any matter which he undertook in Parliament, was baffled. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord, after displacing Sir Robert Peel in 1835, fought , the battle of the Appropriation Clause with consummate ability, until he was obliged to give it up in 1838. He had placed upon the records of the house the declaration that no measure for Ireland could be satisfactory that did not appropriate the surplus revenue of the Irish Church for the purposes of education. Well, then, the Government were defeated upon this motion, upon which the hon. member Log Devonshire brought forward a resolution, call- TURDAY EVE:NANG, NOVEMBER 21, ISM ing on the house to rescind the resolution which it had come to on a former occasion favourable to the principle of appropriation. The noble lord met this motion by say ing, that the party opposed to him ought to be content, for it had gained its object in preventing the Govern ment from proceeding to carry out the resolution of the house in reference to appropriation, and that it ought not to ask the House of Commons to stigmatise its own acts, or to oblige the Governmentto submitto the indignity of having its propositions altered in the way recommended by the motion of the hon. baronet. The noble lord the Se cretary for Ireland also brought around him his friends, and took the same line of argument, and the result was, that the appeal thus made to the house was successful, and he (Mr. G.) was not sorry that it was so, and he trusted that a similar spirit of moderation and forbearance would influence their proceedings that evening. (Hear.) The hon. member for the West Riding had asked how could they— the followers of the late Sir R. Peel, support the course proposed by the noble lord the member for Tiverton. The answer to that question was, they pursued that course which Sir R. Peel would have done himself had he been present on that occasion. (Hear.) Let them, therefore, imitate him in the magnanimity of the course which he had always pursued under similar circumstances. (Hear.) He gave up, in accordance with his own views to promote the public good, political associations which he had held closelyfor3s years. He looked for his revenge for the attacks that had been made upon him, not to stinging speeches, but to the consciousness that the policy which he had recom mended would operate advantageously even for those who in their ignorance objected to his policy. He looked, therefore, in the first place, to have his reward in the goodness of the measures which he brought forward; secondly, in the as surances that the aristocracy who had opposed these mea sures would find their best advantage in the abolition of the corn laws, which they were anxious to uphold. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded as follows:—" My right hon. friend anticipated, lam convinced, those bloodless, those painless rewards, which would be honourable and delightful to him, had it pleased God to spare him—which will be honourable to my hon. friend the member for Bury (Mr. Peel) —to those who were entitled to claim kindred with that great man—which are now delightful to us, who have had, in former times, the high privilege of combatting by his side, and who are now, as fondly as ever, attached to his memory. (Hear.) These are the vindications for which he looked, and looking for these vindications, and seeing that we are now arrived at the point when we are celebrating the obsequies of this obnoxious policy, and are about to adopt by an overwhelming majority, in one sense or the other, a declaration admitted to be perfectly une quivocsd, of the beneficial character, and of the predomi nance of the system of free trade, which he defended—oh, sir, I say in such a moment as this, if we still cherish the desire to trample upon those who have fought man fully, and have been defeated fairly, let us endeavour to put it away from ourselves, and rejoice in the great public good which we have been enabled to attain, and to take courage from the attainment of that good for the perform ance of our public duty in the future. (Loud cheers.) Mr. NEWDEGATE rose amidst cries of "Divide," and said that he had designated the hon. member for the West Riding as a democrat, with the will to become an autocrat. He begged to ,withdraw these words. He would vote against the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhamp ton, and if it was possible for him to have voted for free trade, he would have voted for the amendment of the noble lord, 'because it was dictated with the spirit of a~gentle man. He would not vote for the amendment, but he would not vote against it. Mr. VILLIERS rose to reply, and in doing so said he would only occupy the attention of the house for a very short while, as the subject would be rather personal to himself. As he had been frequently referred to in the de bate, it was necessary that he should say something in respect to himself. And here he must remark, that he was afraid that the selection made in this case, to bring the subject before the house was not a wise one. (Hear, hear.) He had been flattered by the reference made to him. It was said that he was selected to bring this question before the house, because he had been a consistent advocate for free trade—that in doing so, he had but a single purpose in view, and that he was not taunted with any sinister purpose whatever in the matter. He feared these were not exactly the qualities that fitted him for the position that he was called on to occupy. In framing the resolution he expressed what he conceived to be the opinion of the majority of that house, and what was of more importance, what he believed to be the opinion of the country. That, therefore, was his prac tice. As he said last night, he had not the credit of being the author of the resolution, but it was agreed to after much consideration, and he took the responsibility of it. He, however, now felt bound, after what had taken place, to reveal the truth to the house—(hear, hear)—and he did so, because many strong things had been said in the course of the debate against him, and the course he had pursued. He was charged, for instance, with having brought for ward a resolution for which there was no parliamentary precedent, and that it was such a resolution which no gen tleman could propose in reference to another. Now, he was not aware of any person who had cast imputations upon his resolutions in that respect on his (Mr. Vil liers) side of the house, who was not a party to the drawing it up. (Loud and continued cheering.) Every one must see that there was a great distinction to be drawn between the expediency of the resolution and the charac ter of the resolution. (Cries of " hear, hear.") Now his resolution was on the table before the amendment was proposed, and if it was so objectionable in character, as it was now said to be, it was so before the amendment as well as after it ; but so far from any fault being found with it in that respect, when he showed it to the noble lord who moved the amendment—(hear ' hear)—and the right hon. gentleman the member for th e University of Oxford, they both pronounced it unexceptionable. When he submitted the resolution for the opinion of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, he passed over the words " wise, just, and beneficial," which had been since so much talked about, without making the least objection to them. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord did suggest an alteration in another portion of the resolution, and which he (Mr. Villiers) acceded to. (Hear, hear.) He did not say that the noble lord had not proposed a more expedient resolu tion than his was, but all he wanted was to vindicate himself against those charges which had been brought against his resolution. (Hear, hear.) The house, therefore, must see that he had not taken the course h e h a d done out of any disrespect to the Government, or any portion of the house, but being requested to do so, he framed a resolution which he considered would have the support of the great majority of the house, and which he was certain would have the support of the great majority of the country, the Government them selve admitting that the feeling of the country was in favour of the principles he had set forth in the resolution. It was admitted that there was a necessity for such a reso lution, and he had only proposed one embodying those principles which were laid down in the Speech from the Throne. (Hear, hear.) One, however, would think, from the heavy charges which had been brought against him, that there was a wide and important difference between, his resolution and the amendment, but let the house con ; Bider how the case stood. The great difference between his side of the house and the opposite side was, that free trade had produced none of those beneficial effects which were set forth both in his resolution and the amendment of the noble lord, and if a bona fide amendment had been submitted to that effect, the matter would have been placed upon a proper footing, but that not having been done, what he wanted was now to ascertain from the house whether that which was admitted by all to have improved the condition of the country was wise, just, and beneficial. (Cheers.) Every one, there fore, who went into the lobby in favour of the amend ment of the noble lord, while they would affirm that the people had been improved and that trade had been increased by means of that policy, would at the same time affirm that it was not wise, just, and beneficial ? (Cries of " No, no.") One was, therefore, brought to inquire why this difference of opinion between the resolution and the amendment, and why the averseness to approve of the words, " wise, and just, and beneficial," and as to that they were not left in the dark, for some hon. members had let the cat out of the bag. There was something, it ap peared, behind the scene s i n the shape of compensation. (Cheers.) That would be given as a substitute for protec tion. That seemed to be the opinion of the hon. member for Surrey (Mr. Drummond), for he did not seem to find any fault with his resolution. " But," said that hon. mem ber, " I have constituents who have suffered in consequence of the repeal of the corn laws, and they would hardly be satisfied with my conduct if I voted that that measure was wise, just, and beneficial." Had he been met in the same spirit by other hon. members on that side of the house, as he had been by the honourable member for Surrey, he might have consented to withdraw the words in question ; but why he thought the insertion necessary was, that the Government were not converts to this policy—(hear)—they only submitted to a necessity and to a state of things which they could not control, and that therefore it was proper that such words should be inserted, in order to prevent them from intermeddling with that policy should an opportunity occur. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, asked honourabl e g e n tl em en who alli along sup ported free trade, how they could go into the lobby in favour of the amendment ? Lord PALMERSTON said, as his hon. and learned friend had referred to a conversation which he had had with him in reference to his resolution, he wished to say a few words in explanation. It was true that one evening, towards the end of the night, his hon. and learned friend showed him sitting on the end of that bench (pointing to the bench on which Mr. Villiers sat), the draft of his re solution, for the purpose, as he understood, of ascertaining as to whether he would vote for it. He (Lord Palmerston) pointed out one part of it which he could not agree to— (hear)—and his hon. and learned friend agreed to strike that part out. After the resolution was laid on the table notice of an amendment to it was given by the Government, on seeing w- 441 he wrote a note to his hon. and learned friend in which he stated that he presumed the objection to the resolution proceeded on ono particular part of it, but that ho was sorry to see that a resolution which it was in tended should establish a great system of domestic policy should degenerate into a mere party struggle, and Ike en treated him to endeavour, by putting himself into commu nication with the Government, to devise some form of words which might be a cceptable to the great majority of the House of Commons. His hon. and learned friend stated to him that h e would see him in the house. He did see him in the house accordingly, but without stating the par ticulars of the conversation between them, what his hon. and learned friend told him left the impression on his mind that he was not master of his own conduct—(Mi nisterial cheers)--and that he was in the hands of other persons. (Hear hear.) It was not, therefore , fair for him to say th a t he made no objection until his resolution was before the house. He wrote him that note, which he could make what use of he pleased —show it to whom he liked, and read it to whom he pleased. (Cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE also rose to explain. If they were to be put into a glass beehive, so that all these communica tions in respect of these resolutions might be seen, he had not the least objection, for there was not one word whi c h ' he had spoken or wr i tten res p e cting which he was not ' ready to place at the service of the house, for he ho'li thought it prudent t o c arry all the correspondence in ' h i s pocket. Knowing the misunderstandings which t oo k place in these matt ers h e t oo k the precaution of taking that course. (Hear.) As to the charge of the hon, and learned gentleman, he met it by stating that he believed the resolution was placed on the table of the house at 12 o'clock, the 17th of Nov., and on the 1 6 th, at 'six o'clock, he wrote a note to th e hon. and learned gentleman, ob jecting to the resolution in the precise point on which the objection to it had been founded that evening, on the ground that, if kept in that shape, it would not gain the support of so large a majority of that house. . (Hear.) Mr. VILLIERS, in explanation, said that there was not one single word that had been stated but confirmed what he had said, and he felt called upon to add now, that the terms which were since so objectionable to the noble lord, did not strike the noble lord at the time that they were in, communication with each other en the abject. What he said on the occasion had been made subject of doubt, and all he had now to say was, that if the objectionable words were objectionable at the time they were nevertheless admitted to be true. With respect to the right hon. gen tleman (Mr. Gladstone) he had written to him (Mr Villiers), and stated that he had been informed, as the right hon. gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had stated that he had been informed, that the objectionable words had been put into the resolution for the purpose of preventing others from giving their vote, and his (Mr. Villiers') answer was, that no suck object had ever been thought of. The house then divided, when the numbers were — For Mr. Villiers' resolution For Lord Palmerston's amendment 336 Majority for the amendment BO The house immediately afterwards divided on Lord Pal merston's amendment as an original resolution, when the numbers were— For the motion Against it.,. 53 Majority The announcement of the numbers was received with cheers, and the house immediately afterwards adjourned at two o'clock.

I was tapped five times in the course of eight months, and skilfully treated by two medical practitioners. Notwithstanding which I got worse, and my strength failed so much as to leave no hopes of re covery. I then tried your pills, which in six months perfectly cured me.—Sold by all druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London. ELECTRIC SCIENCE AS APPLIED TO DISEASE, &C.—lt is but a few months since Pulvermacher's Hydro-electric chain was introduced into this country, heralded and attested to by foreign medical authorities of high repute ; and now, go where you may, among physicians, sur geons, or dentists, and you find the Hydro-electric chain, in one shape or the other, there used as a powerful battery for penetrating, and rapidly, alternative im pulses, recalling with the rapid it y of lightning life when upon the very threshold of the tomb.—These, used as a s m all necklace, infusing in a mild and genial manner that peculiar m ysterious fluid which we call electricity, and in the want of whieh originates so many nervous diseases. Indeed the opinion appears to be taken up and repeated e verywhere that the discovery of the ex trordinary curative virtues of mild streaming electricity, as evolved from these chains is a benefit already enjoyed by thousands, and will be blessed by millions of suff erers long after their gifted originator has passed away.
