ose who would be affected by it, and no one would be more ready to contribute to alleviate as far as possible the distresses of the sister country.—( Hear, bear.) He did not think, however, that they should be called upon to legislate upon that calamity, for the emergency might have been met by the exercise of those extraordinary powers which were vested n the Government for such occasions.—(dear, hear. ) He did not think that the Right Honourable Baronet had treated his party with that fairness which they had a right to expect.—(hear, hear.) If the Right Hon. Baronet consi dered it necessary that the appeal from Ireland should be answered by a public subscription, why not let them come down at once and make a proposal to Parliament of that de scription? The Right Hon. Baronet had spent upwards of h df an hour in his speech with a description of the miseries which were at present to be witnessed in that country, and the feelings were harrowed up. He (Mr. H.) would be most happy to contribute, as he had said, for the alleviation of those dis tresses, but be objected to be called upon to legislate at the same time on a subject which was not essentially connected with that calamity. Why not make a special motion on the subject, and let them go fairly into it?—(Cheers.) He would now come to the policy of the repeal of the corn-laws.—( Hear, hear.) He admitted that that was a question of the greatest importance, but he contended that it should not have been en cumbered with the previous discussion which embarrassed it.— ( Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Baronet had stated, in his speech last night, that he grounded his measures on the success of the alterations which had been made in the tariff in 1842. To that success the Right Hon. Baronet had alluded last night. Let the House examine the position of the ecuntry when the Right Hon. Baronet came to the head of her Majesty's Ge yernment. He (Mr. Hudson) had had an interview with him at that time about a railway which he (the lion. Member) had taken a great interest in. At that period it was quite impos sibl s to raise funds to carry out a railway scheme, so great was the depression in the money market, although it was one of those undertakings which had done more good than many of these measures which had been introduced and carried by the Right Hon. Baronet.—( Hear, hear.) He had to go about from eomi•any to company to get them to guarantee 6 per cent. to this line of railway. He succeeded, And the scheme turned out to be a good one, and the country had benefited by the sya tern, which had since been so generally adopted.—( Hear, hear, from Sir R. Peel.) The Right Hon. Baronet might cry out, " Heir, hear," but het Mr. Hudson) could tell him that he had acknowledged those great benefits. After this came an abun dant harvest, and the monetary system was quite recovered, and the Right Hon. Baronet acknowledged that railways had done a great sleal Inwards the prosperity of the country.— ( H r, hear s and cheers from Mr. Peter Borthwick.) The abundance of corn which we then had was not owing to the in troduction of foreign corn, but to the produce of the land of this country.—( Hear.) This was under the law of protection. —( Hear, hear, from Mr. Peter Borthwick and Col. Sibthorp.) The Right Hon, Premier proposed to re , luce the duty on the importation of shoes, piper, and other articles of manufacture in the country ; and he (.11r. Hudson) wished to ask whether the question did not resolve itself into one of labour—for if it was one of machinery, they would be able to contend against the world ?—( Hear, hear.) He had taken some trouble to ascertain what the price of corn would be in the year 1849, after the present measure had come into operation. He recol lected that in 1837, be was able to deliver corn, free of all charges, at 255. per quarter ' • and what he was able to do in 1837, why should he not be able to do it in 1849 ?—( Hear, hear.) Before they legislated on a question that affected so vitally the interests of the country, before they came to so important a decision, they should be furnished with the rela tive alterations in the price of corn on delivery.—( Hear, hear. ) If they took the right view of the case they would see that under the new Bill corn would be from 30s. to 355. per quarter. He could nest refuse to give to that House the information which he had obtained from various sources, and from his own practical experience. He would ask the Hon. Member for Wiltshire, who had spoken on the subject of agricultural distress in this country, whether he believed that a price of 353. per quarter for corn would be better . for the farmer than a price varying from 455. to 50s. It appeared to him a mockery and an attempt to deceive. He had listened with much attention to the speech of the Hon. Member, and he would not answer what distress would occur under the present Bill. As to its bring a matter of rent, he believed honestly and firmly that it was snore a matter of land, for with a high rent the farmer could not afford to cultivate his land. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that he believed that the farmers would be as well off under the new measure as they were before—that there 'cellist be little or no alteration in that respect. The Right lion. Baronet might perhaps know that a paper called the Leayme was published. That paper had ventured an opinion as to the operation of the Bill in 1849. It said that the Bill would most likely work well, but it was possible that the let of February, 1849, might be the commencement of a period of unexampled distress to all classes of farmers, and re-ast fearfully on (very interest of the entire country. That was the opinion expressed by the great agitators of this measure, the supporters of the Anti-Corn-law League. He expressed the opinions now which he bad entertained for many 'ears, and he could not support the Right Hon. Baronet. That Right Hon. Baronet had changed his opinions, but the change in his (Mr. Hudson's) view, was for reasons most un satisfactory. The Right Hon. Baronet had dwelt strongly on the state of the country the other evening, but •be had not satisfied him (Mr. Hudson) that the measure he proposed was necessary. Before- the agita tion of this question, the country was fast recovering from the depression under which it had been labouring—its commercial . interests were improving, and the exchanges were in our favour.—( Hear, bear.) And it was a natural el'ect that in such a state of prosperity the price of provisions would rise.—( Hear, hear.) And he would say, why not, when all the ocher interests were prosperous—why should not the agricultural interests aho participate iu Wet prosperity?— ( Hear, hear.) When the bricklayer received his 28s. a week, or the labourer his 18s. or 205., why should not the agricul turist also receive an increased reward for his exertions ? ( Hear, hear.) If the Right Honourable Baronet carried out his measure, let the principle be fully carried out to all. He (Mr. Hudson) knew that this would seriously affect many trades and interests in the country in a manner similar to the manner in which the shoemakers are now proposed to be affected. He pitied the shoemakers and paper-stainers, as he knew their interests would be seriously affected ; still if one great interest is to be affected, protection should be taken from all.— ( Hear, hear.) He had a few facts which bore on this ques tion, and he would refer particularly to the paperstainers.- He had a friend in York, who employed in thin manufacture a great number of workmen at from 18s. to 21s. wages. Well, WI soon as the Bill of the Right Hon. Baionet was brought forward, his friend showed him letters from tradesmen in different towns, stating that the Bill would enable them to import paper from France, and they therefore countermanded their orders. His Friend said that he should be obliged to pay off the men he was then employing.—(Cheers from Mr. P. Borthwick.) Were the real interests of the country con sidered in the measure which the Right Hon. Baronet bad brought forward. He believed the fact to he that this mea sure would throw large tracts of land out of cultivation.— ( Renewed cheering from Mr. Borthwick.) It would exactly act as in the years 1825 and 1826, when the larger tracts of lend were applied to other purposes than cultiva tion. The consequence would be, that for a time they would revel in low prices—they would have abundance of food, no doubt, but the manufacturer would not derive the benefit they anticipated. He would lose the home customer; there 'mild come bad harvests, and low prices would change to high prices, and then the Right lio n . Baronet would come down to the Muse with an extraordinary measure to provide for the sus tena co of the poop's. 'I hey would ultimately be thrown on foreign couotries br their supplies, and those supplies would depend on circumstances ever which the country would have rm *intro!. —( tr, hear.) He believed that the Right Hon. . , , .. Baronet bad at the commencement of the session, brought ' forward a measure to limit the expenditure of capital. He believed the effect of that measure would be to paralyse the en-rgies and industry of the country, for it hail already affected their commerce to a very considerable degree. Ile had , understood that they were to have a number of com pensation% for the benefit of the landowners, but he confessed that upon looking through the Bill not the least compensation was offe eI. He would like to ask why a person receiving 300/. a year from the funds should not contribute to the poor-rates ? (Cheers from Mr. B irthwick.) it seemed to - him to be j monstrous.—(Continued cheers from Mr. Borthwicic.) He ' il d not see why the landsbould be charged for the maintenance of the poor, when a parson receiving 3,0001. a-year from the funds dol not pay anything. This wss evidently unjust. He did not see why they were to be burdened wi!h cemity-rates, Ile in diatained that this measure would inflict great injury upon the labourers of the country, for England was essentially I en agricultural country; and how would the agriculturist, with the heavy charges be had to pay, compete with the foreign tartntr, who had no burd:n to bear, and who paid his labourers at very reduced rites? It sves not right, he said, then to allow the foreign farmer to come into the English market and compete with the Br ti h farmer, and he called upon the Government to appeal to the country upon this question. That was the course which was adopted wi . 11 the Catholic Emancipation Bill, and if the Right Hon. Baronet wished to maintain the good opinion of the people of this country, they would pursue the same course in this instance.—( Loud cries from Mr. P. Barthwick. ) His intercourse with the people of this country was - very great, and he could truly sty, that all with whom he came in contact were against this measure.—(Cheers.) If they passed this measure they would do so under circumstances which would make it unacceptable to this country. They would damage most materially the position of public men. —(Cheers.) lion. Members on his side of the Iltoise had been charged with actin. wrong in opposing this measue, but he (Mrs liaison) rejoiced to find men in that House, acting in accordane with the solema Pledges which they had given their constituents; they were bound t o d o so b y th e mos t so l emn b on d s w hi c h ,couldbintl man to man.

He was resolved to givev this measure *. s li. unqualified support.—(Lours cries of 0, no," from Colonel Sibthorp, and roars of laughter from all parts of the House at the Honourable Member's mistake.) fie wished to correct himself, he intended to have said, his unqualified oppo sition. Th 2 Honourable Member conclude d by saying, he would give his determined opposition to the measure. Lord DUNCAN then moved the adjournment of the de bate to Thursday, which was agreed to. COUNTY WORKS PRESENTMENT (IRELAND) !ALL The Howe then w,nt into Committee on the Coun'y Works Presentment MI, tihen Sir .1. CRAIIAM rose and said that he had cons!tlerd the suggestion of the H on . M em b er f or D un d a lk to g i ve a p o wer 4, g new roads, but he considered it would not be expe dient to introduce -11 a power, as it would be foreign to the nature of th e Bill. "1c Mr. RE.DINGTON considered; ,, that if this power was not conferred the Dill would witi ; come a nullity. Il e m i g h t if b e plmed say somethin g regard er to the advance of loans in lwraeslando.btaliineerd b b y een ii a ir ll . le E m ni, of late Hrin-,e when a.return that Ceunty cf Newry, for the varp t , t % IN l e23 b,,tr for the irelarta had evu been punctual 'in -- h er 'l. w cr in g t hou g ht that that return satisfactorily - 4 -PaYrent° ' vAto - ;c:.. tl - zat y advances which had been made to Ireland had been repaid, and with interest. He contended that the works which the present Bill contemplated, such as the building , and repairing of bridges, were not those which would benefit the poor. They were for the benefit of the mechanic and the artizan much more than for the persons whose necessities called upon the House to make such extraordinary presentiments as the present Bill proposed. He wished, however, that a provision were intro duced to carry into effect new roads, which would give employ ment to those whose main dependance was their manual labour. He wished that those roads which were certified at the late assizes should be undertaken. Now, they would not, in the ordinary course of things, be commenced before July, but if a presentment wero allowed to be made for them when those extraordinary presentments were being made, it would open a great field for the employment of the poor, and assist very much to alleviate the distress among the labouring population. In conclusion, the Hon. Member moved as as, amendment that after the words " and no other" should be inserted the words " for the making of any new read, the presentment for which shall have been duly certified as by law at present required." After some further discussion the motion for the amendment was put and agreed to. The clauses were then proceeded with. DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL. ' • The Home then resumed, and after some discussion, the third reading of the Drainage (Ireand) Bill was postponed until to-day. The House then adjourned at htlf-past Two o'clock.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Earl of STRADUROKE presented petitions in favour of protection to agriculture. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Axminster, and several other places in the county of Devon, against any alteration in the corn-laws. On the motion of Lord BEAumoriT, the Committee with respect to the burdens on land was appointed. Lord BROUGHAM and the LORD CHANCELLOR were afraid the Committee would do no good. The Duke of RICEMOND said the labours of the Committee would set the question at rest whether the burdens on land were greater than those on manufactures. The Earl of REDESDALE presented a petition from Glou cestershire in favour of the continuance of the corn-laws. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then put the question to the Government, of which he had given notice, relative to the non-appointment of Mr. Gunstone to the office of a Com missioner of the Poor-laws, in Dublin. He was astonished at the course that had been pursued, believing that the Government had not a more meritorious servant in Ireland than Mr. Gunstone. Earl ST. GERMAN said that Mr. TWISLETON was chosen to be Commissioner because he was thought more fit to be so than Mr. Gunstone. Mir. Gunstone; he was willing to ad mit, was a most valuable servant of the Government, and be did not see what cause he had of complaint. The Earl of ABERDEEN laid on the table of the House the correspondence that had taken place between the English and the Spanish Government relative to the sugars of Cuba. Lord lizaumoicr gave notice of his intention, on Thursday mxt, to movefor papers relative to the armed interference of France and England on the River de la Plata. The Earl of DALHOUSIE laid on the table the report of the Commissioners on Railways. A message from the Commons brought up several The Piers and Fisheries (Ireland) Bill wasread a first time, and ordered to be read a second time. The House then adjourned till Thursday. The House commenced business at Four o'clock. Several Railway Bills were raada second time, and ordered to be committed. Petitions were presented for and against the enrolment of the militia. Petitions were also presented for and against the Minis • terial measure with ropect to the importation duties. Mr. Hurr postponed hisinction with respect to the Excise lays fur a fortnight. Mr. EwAItT podponed his motion with respect to Van Dietuen's Land. Various petitions having been presented, • M. O'Corsti.i. rose to move the anointment 91 a Com mittee of the whole House to consider of the present die tressed state of Ireland. In proposing this motion he dis claimed every factious or party motive. The poor of Ireland were on the verge of starvation, and it was the paramount duty of Parliament to provide against the impending danger. The lion. and Learned Gentleman then went into various statistical details, proving the awful state of famine which was impending over the Irish population, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop—a failure not attributable to any want of industry on the part of the population, to any failure in the prodUctiveners of the soil—but solely to the vi sitation of Providence. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went into details, showing the want of food and bread stuffs imported from Ireland into England, for the purpoSe of showing that Ireland produced abundance, but that country, so blessed by Providence, was cursed by men ; and it was a fit subject for inquiry how it happened that a country pro ducing such abundance should be in danger of famine. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then quoted from the returns of the Government Commissioners, and from the correspondence of various gentlemen resident in Ireland, voluminous pas sages for the purpose of showing the imminent and imme diate wasting distress under which the people of Ireland were now suffering. These communications were from persons in every part of the kingdom, and in even• station of life—ma gistrates, poor-law guardians, and ministers of religion Of all denominations. Many of these communications had been made to the Mansion-house Committee in Dublin, and from those he would quote. [The returns of the Committee were published a week since in Vie Sun.] Some of these com munications stated that the pay of agricultural labourers was only 2%d. a day, and the fever was spreading fast. This was in the district of Tralee. In Londonderry, Wexford, Cork, Down, Armagh, Clare, and Galway, the distress was as great. The cause was scarcity ; the effect of it was spreading, and in the cure was the production of food. Wherever scarcity pre vaned disease Preyailed,and wherever there was plenty there was health. The seasons of abundant harvests were inva riably healthy seasons ; the seasons of scarcity were inva riably seasons of pestilence. With regard to the poor-law union houses, they made very good hospitals for the sick, but they were utterly insufficient to alleviate the Pre sent distress. Some measures must be taken to re medy it. Why should not strong measures be taken for finding railway schemes?—why should not a Government board be appointed, with power to regulate between contending parties, so as to at once enable the rail way companies to commence operations, and then give em ployment to the poor? Let them make loans as security for finishing these works, and others calculated to give employ- Ment to the people. at 1 per cent. for three years, and 4 per cent. afterwards. Great evils required great remedies, and he called upon them to apply a great remedy for a great evil- Let a Committee of the whole House be appointed to consider the subject—let them show the people of Ireland that they were desirous of relieving their distress. He found no fault with the Government ; he had supported the measures which they had proposed for the relief of the distress; but those measures, excellent as they would have been in ordinary times, were at present totally inadequate to meet the exi gencies of the case. Sir J. GRAHAM admitted the importance of the subject, and having carefully investigated the case, it was his painful duty to state that the representations of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman were not greatly exaggerated. He be 3ieved that one-half of the population of Ireland depended for their daily food on the potato, and the crop of potatoes had this year signally failed to the extent, according to the most careful inquiry, of upwards of one-fourth. Under ordi nary circumstances the population for six weeks were obliged to subsist on food of a higher quality, and now for four months the population must be fed upon food of a higher quality. Generally speaking, it was not the duty cf the Government to provide food for the people, but in :extraordinary cases the rule must give way, and the Legistature' must take measures to stave off starvation. But the extent of the evil was not yet ascertained—the dis ease in potatoes was progressing. He admitted that the con duct of the Irish peasantry - under these dreadful circumstances had been excellent; there had been no outbreak, no expres sion of impatience. Many of them had assembled, not to ask for relief, but for work which would yield them wages. A more touching spectacle could not have been exhibited. He believed that the Irish labourer was greatly bene fited by.. English manufacturing prosperity, inasmuch •as many Irish found employment in Manchester . and other places. In order to meet this threatened .distress, the Govnrnment had appointed a Commission .to investigate and to regulate the granting of relief by means of public grants for public works. The House had already consented to grants for this purpose to the amount of 120,000/. They had also consented to grants for advancing a loan for drainage and other purposes, amounting altoge ther to 468,0001, to be laid out on public woks, in the shape of grant or loan. With regard to railway specula tions in Ireland, in the last session Bills had been passed authorising an outlayof 9,000,0001., which would prdably ensure an outlay of 2,000,000/. in the course of .tbe present year. Such was the nature of railroad 'work that it would not meet the particulars of the case. Those employed on railroads must leave their wives and families at home. In a former case the failure of the potato crop had been confined to par ticular localities; now it was general, and he admitted that the poor-law was insufficient to meet it. The Government had taken every measure in their power to meet the cala mity; specific instructions had been givr n on all the 'leading points; and let the calamity be as extensive as it may, the Government would not be taken by sur prise. In case of fever, the poor-law afforded most extensive relief, as it afforded the power, if necessary, of con. strutting temporary fever hospitals, and if these provisions were insufficient, he should be prepared to introduce a Bill, rounded on the precedent of 1832, for the erection of additional fever hospitals. He should regret that this discussion should be prolonged to the delaying of the important adjourned debate, for he considered that everything was subsidiary to the necessity of removing all obstructions to the free importation of food, which was the best permanent remedy for the distress of Ireland. Mr. F. SHAW admitted the general state of destitution Of the Irish population, but he thought. the statements which had been put forth on the subject had been exaggerated. :Ile admitted that every county in Ireland was more or less suffering from the disease, but he thought that in most parts of Ireland there was an average crop. For six weeks in every year the poor in Ireland always suffered from scarcity, but at present there was a more than usual quantity of grain in Ireland, and a more than usual quantity of employment. lie would, however, support any measure for alleviating the sufferings of the people of Ireland, but, he must deprecate exaggerated statements on the subject. ' Sir JAMES GRAHAM suggested to the lion. Member for Cork, under the circumstances of the case, not to press his motion. Mr. J. O'Coxixner, did not doubt but that the measure pro posed by the Government for the repeal of the corn-laws would be ultimately beneficial to the people of Ireland, but he pressed upon the house the necessity of doing something immediately for the relief of the present distress. He be sought the House not to consider that anything they had done as yet could meet the distress in Ireland. They ac knowledged the kindness of intention exhibited towards Ireland; but it should be remembered, that whatever they might do was only a small payment towards the debt which they owed to Ireland. There must be some thing bad in the administration of affairs in Ire land to produce and keep up this perennial distress, and it behoved the House and the Government to reconsider the course of social and commercial policy which England had pursued towards Ireland. Until within the last thirty years, England had systematically endeavoured to' destroy the commercial prosperity of Ireland. Let them consider whether there were not still some vestiges of that policy re maining; and if there were, let t' - .em change it altogether. The Right Hon. Gentleman, having gone into long statis tical details fur the purpose of showing the policy which had been pursued towards Ireland up to the present time, denounced the Union as having greatly contributed to the increase of the distress of Ireland. They must endeavour to put a stop to the absentee system, which drained Ireland annually. of 4,500,0001., an amount equal to the whole reve nue which - Ireland paid to the State; and when they 'talked of the grants they made to Ireland, they should remember the course which they had pursued towards Ireland for cen turies ; and should reverse that course, and not drain Ireland of her capital, as they had done. As to the advances, those they would have to relay; and as to the grants, they did not amount to one year's revenue of Ireland. They had a remedy in the restoration of their own Parlia ment, but if they refused that, would they provide a remedy ? Would they tax the absentees? That would afford them a large revenue. Would they allow the surplus of Irish reve nue to be expended in Ireland,? Would they give them a share of public expenditure by establishing royal dockyards in some of the harbours of Ireland? Before they asked for a boon of money, they asked the Government to give Ireland the benefit of the expenditure of her own revenue, Ireland had suffered much from the diminution of public expenditure in that country. These were matters it was right the House should understand, if they wished to understand the real cause of the evils of Ireland. They bad never asked f o r charity, but they had demanded, and would continue to de mand, their rights. Lord JOHN llus.sELL was far from complaining of the!' Hon. Member for Cork taking the present opportunity o bringing before the House the distresses of Ireland. He trusted that he would take every opportunity of doing so. He would join with the lion. and Learned Member in his motion, if it could be shown to hint that it would remedy the grievance complained of. He trusted that the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork, after hearing what had been stated by the Right Hon. Baronet, would not persevere in his motion, as it would be always in his power to renew his motion, if he did mot find the course adopted answered the oltieet lie had in view. Ile considered that the Government and the people of Ireland were much indebted to the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork for the statements he bad made. He trusted the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. A. LAwsox offered his sincere sympathy for the dis tressa n and em temper i i s t e t r w y h o i f ch l rtletleand. He Member awas g fo la r d Co t r d k had t broughttone the subject forward. He hoped that Ireland would long re main the Sicily of England. Mr. O'CONNELL then withdrew the motion, observing that it was his intention at a future opportunity to exereisa the ht that he possessed of renewing this motion, he if rigfound it necessary. L o o J. .:1 - 4)l;gEs then resumed the adibtantd torn•lvf debate. He believed if the measure proposed by the Govern ment was carried, - it would have the effect of placing the Crown, the Mitre, and the Charter of the people under the foot of the small oligarchy of red tape. He believed if the Right Hon. Baronet had opened the ports, and upon the meeting of Parliament stated that be could not steer the ship as be had hitherto done, the feelings of the people on the subject would have been very different to what they now were. He could never bring his mind to believe that Parliament would ever sanction the resolution proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, If the Right Hon. Baronet was sincere in his statement, why did he not at once suspend the corn-law, open the ports, .and trust to the people whether or not they should be closed again? That would be far better than the cumbrous plan he had proposed for the adoption of Parliament. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that they could not go on properly in this country without half-yearly revolutions; he had stated that Prussia had been shaktn—he defied him to show the it had on the question of free trade. In France, the great leaders of parties were against it. Such men as BERRYER and Tutuus opposed it. Ha thought an appeal ought to be made on the question to the constituency of the country. He believed that a small fixed duty on corn _would be just to all parties; and, although he did not go to the extent of many around him in favour of free trade, yet he felt bound to deprecate that House adopting the present • s we pi n g proposition at the dictation of the Right llon. ,Baronet. Ile should give his most uncompromising opposi tion to the proposition of the Government, without an appeal 'was made to the people upon it. Captain LAYARD supported the Government proposition. •He believed that England would never maintain its position .among the nations of the earth until her labourers were 'properly provided for. He believed that the proposition of 'the Government would and must be _carried. He believed that the corn-law of 1815 was not only a great and grie) - 'ous mistake, but a great and grievous crime. The Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government ought to be proud of the course he had pursued ; he had given up a party feeling for the good of his country. He agreed with the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London, that protection was the bane of agriculture. He believed if the House adopted the Government proposition, the other nations of the earth would follow its example. Mr. R. PALMER then addressed the House. Protection had been in existence for centuries, and he did not see why it should be removed at the present moment. They bad the high authority of Mr. HITSKISSON for retaining protection. He thought the present a most unfortunate time for intro. .dueing this measure, and he should, therefore, give it his opposition. Sir C. NAMER had hoped, after the unanswerable speech of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, last night, that the debate would have been concluded with out any further invectives against the Government for the course they had adopted, but it appeared, from the speech of the Noble Lord who first addreassed the House, that the protectionists were determined to keep it up, in order to say all they could against the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. The Noble Lord the Member for Newark taunted the Right Hon. Baronet with not opening the ports. He believed if the Right Hon. Baronet had attempted to do so he would have received a more severe opposition than he would do on the present question. He believed the Right Hon. Baronet had gone as far as he could do in order to secure the measure being carried through the House of Lords, and he, for one, was glad that he had not fell into the trap of the protec tionists. He spoke plainly, and he believed if those who now opposed the measure, were convinced that it would not lower their rents, they would soon withdraw their opposi tion. The Gallant Commodore, after giving the House a most laughable description of his mode of farming, con. eluded by stating his intention to support the -Government proposition. _ . Mr. SHAW opposed the Government proposition. Their leader had not only abandoned them, but had gone over to the other side. Although they had been deserted, they were not dismayed, but determined to be loyal and true to them selves. The effect of such great changes as had been pro posed by the Right Hon. Baronet should be well understood upon a country like England before they were wildly put forward. Those who introduced them ought to recollect " that a thousand years scarce serve to form a state," and that "an hour may lay it in the dust." He believed that the present Government would be handed down to posterity as the greatest political co Nerds that ever existed. What had the Right Hon. Baronet done, a he said, to pre vent anarchy and confusion? Why he had thrown himself and the Government into the hands of the Anti. Corn-law League and the Repeal Association. He would make this solemn declaration, that if at the end of two years the Right Hon. Baronet should be at the head of the Government, be should not feel the same surprise in seeing him come down to the House and propose a repeal of the Legislative Union, as he felt two years ago on seeing him propose a re peal of the corn-laws. The Right Hon. Baronet who, a few years ago, defeated the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London, and drove him from the head of affairs, was now supplicating him to allow his Government to last* He (Mr. Shaw), and those who voted with him, would not throw the prize of protection into the lottery of chance, in the hopes of drawing out a better. • Mr. BRIGHT said the Anti-Corn-law League and the people did not care one straw about the great quarrel that had taken place among parties as long as the nation benefited by it; protection was a bane to the country, and the sooner it was put an end to the better. They had protected their farmers into a system of decrepitude. In Cheshire they had a high aristocracy and a poor tenantry, and they would be as low as the inhabitants of the south of England, had it not been for the .proximity of Lancashire. Then, with regard to poor rates, the tenant farmer paid no part of it until it was incorporated with the soil. There was a burden upon the land, which was the burden of the game. Now the Duke of RUTLAND had paid 9151. for 900 acres of land, and he would ask how they could shut' out foreign food, while they Were wasting acres of land for the sake of the sport ? There was not the smallest prospect of any insurrection against the Ministerial measure ; and if the masses of the people believed them; how came it that they had not multitudinous Meetings against the repeal ? Public opinion was in their fe e l a r ed ßaronet, fa vour. The newspaper s which had th e largest circulation were who last night had de livered was the . most imp or t an t speech that ever he d elivered in th at House, and he envied unanimous in favour of t he Mi n i sterial measure. He would not defe ap e n s dt e h c e Right which Right Hon. Barone t his feelin gs last night after he had delivered his speech. H e defied th em to maintain the corn i,ghhi cth Hon. he d laws. The Right Hon. Baronet had resigned office. He came back as the Minister of the Sovereign and the people, and open to adopt any course he might think fit. Now, if they were to seek to make a Protectionist Government, what, in fact, would they make ? Mr. MILLS was put down for the Board of Trade. Why, if it hal not been for irre pressible laughter, the mills of Lancashire would in such a case have been shut up for a week. Then there was Lord STANLEY, of Tamboff celebrity, put forward as Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Then there was the Duke of RICHMOND, who had said Mr. COBDEN received 30,000,. a week profits, ar:d that ore of his tenants paid snore poor-rates than all the Leaguers put together. Could that be believed? Would the country tolerate for a week the Government of a man who only last night had declared that orators might he seat down to the manufacturing districts to teach the work ing people there that cotton might be fired as well as stacks. The Government would be supported by the bishops, for no bishop would dare to vote against the free admission of food fqr a starving population. The measure of the Government was a great and noble mea sure, but he could have wished that the repeal lead been immediate instead of gradual. There were thousands dying from scarcity, and the country demanded the immediate repeal. Then, with regard to the forty-shilling franchise, the Chief Justice •of the Common Pleas had declared that the obtaining that franchise was not only legal but laudable. It was a powelul weapon, but it was not intended to overthrow. aristocracy or any other institutionsi : as soon as the corn-laws were repealed the League would lye dlaiolved, and he thought those who had been placed ispAlhe register as 40s. freeholders would exercise their franchiS; as independently as the tenant farmers. What satisfaction-would it be to theist to consider, if they should turn out thelklinistry, that by their factious opposition they should have contributed to increase the miseries of their fellow-creathres ? Mr. Hunsasyconsidered that in this debate they had nothing to do with the distress which existed in the sister country,bes cause he considered that the extraordinary emergency must be met by extraordinary exertions, such as a public subscrip tion, or a Parliamentary measure for the relief of it. He called upon the Government at once to provide for the relief of tbat distress. The question of the repeal of the corn-laws ought not to be embarrassed with considerations such as these. He contended that the recent prosperity had not been occavionesl by the plenty of corn, but by the abundant harvests which had occurred since 1842. The Hon. Member then went into a very discursive argument on the subject of protection, during which he was not unfrequently interrupted by cries of " Question, question," and concluded by declaring that he should vote against the Government measure; for if they withdrew protection, he did not believe that the land could be cultivated at a profit eves if no rent we•'e paid upon it.--(A laugh.) " I am not prepared, because the Right Hon. Baronet has cheese to change his opinions," said the Hon , Gentleman, "'to change mine ; and I would ask. why, when all other interests are prosperous, should not the agri cu:tural interests be prosperous ahoy with the others?" He believed the effect of the Government measure would be to paralyse the energies of the country. It seemed tohim mow. trous that the poor-rates should be assessed upon the land alone ; all property ought to contribute towards it, and why should not the fundholders contribute towards it ? And he thought the land ought not exclusively to pay to the counly-rate. They should tax the cotton as well as the land fur that purpose. He thought the Government ought to appeal to the constituencies to decide whether they would have protection or no protection. Believing that protection, eyes for three years, was a boon, lie gave the Right Honourable Baronet credit for proposing his measure, with, to little disturbation to existing interests as possible. He Was determined, however, to oppose the proposition of the Right Hon. Baronet with his utmost energy, although he should support the three years' protection to the uttnest of his power. On the motion of Lord DUNC.:N, the debate was adjourned till Ilinrs The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL last evening may be said, without exaggeration, to be the most remarkable ever made within the walls of Parliament. It did not display the high flights of eloquence and the delightful wit of CANNING, nor the more stirring metaphorical figures and rich flow of language which distinguished BURKE. With PLuNKETT's splendid orations, so con cise and comprehensive, every sentence embodying argument, and every thrust at his opponents fatal —it cannot be compared ; but it possessed far higher qualities—the discreet, the candid, and the liberal views of a Prime Minister who for once threw party to the winds, who defended his policy on principles intelli gible to the meanest capacity, and announced his determination to brave obloquy, submit to every offensive epithet, and all the howlings of disappointed fac tions, for the noble purpose of carrying out measures which he believed essential to the welfare of his country, and the best interests both of SOVEREIGN and people. He is, perhaps, the first Minister that ever openly declared that he would carry on his Government without the aid of party ; and, on this ground alone, independent of the vastness and boldness of his commercial plans,he deserves the unqualified praise of every enemy of cl ass-legisla t ion, and every friend of an independent, impartial, and constitutional repre sentation of the great body of the people. His opponents have, in the most absurd manner, blamed him for deserting his adherents, and introducing measures opposed to those advocated by the House of Peers and a largo proportion of the landed gentry, as if he thereby obtained some personal and selfish reward, and betrayed his friends only to obtain honours captivating to a low, a grovelling, and unprincipled mind. We are quite sure that every candid pro tectionist (and there are many of that character op posed to him) will read his speech with very different feelings from those formerly entertained, and readily admit that, under all the circumstances of his position, such as the success of late commercial changes, the alarms of famine, and the anxiety of our gracious SOVEREIGN fur the welfare of the lower classes, he could, as an honourable man, and a faithful adviser of the Crown, have pursued no other course. His statements on that head are so precise, clear, and unanswerable that they must carry conviction even to prejudiced minds. " I know," said he, "that I might. have conciliated temporary confidence by underrating the danger in Ireland. I might have invited continued combination for the maintenance of the existing law—l might have talked of hoisting the flag of Pro tection for Native Industry—l might have exclaimed that Agricultural Protection must be maintained in all its integrity. That is the course which would have con ciliated temporary confidence; but the month of May would not have arrived without demonstrating that it had been my bounden duty towards my country—towards my SOVEREIGN —towards my party—to have acted otherwise." In fact, he showed that, but for the measures he proposed, such a degret of odium would have attached as would have done them the greatest disservice.' His letter to the QUEEN, on Lord JOIIN RUSSELL being called to her MAJESTY'S Councils, is only another proof of his candour and his thorough conviction. in. that he admitted the full merit of the opposite party—he cordially concurred in the sentiments expressed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in:his address to the electors of London—and assured the SOVEREIGN that he would not only aid his politi cal opponents in carrying the repeal of the corn• laws, but also vote with them, under our present critical relations with America, for an increase in the army and navy. But we have not space for further comments, and they are not ne cessary. The speech will be read carefully and carefully studied by all interested in the good of the nation and perhaps will not afford so great satisfaction to any as to our gracious QUEEN, who at this crisis has displayed a magnanimity and regard for ;her subjects befitting the SOVEREIGN of a free and intelligent people. The peroration of the speech deserves to be quoted at length. After alluding to former periods of distress and the extraordinary patience of the people under suffering, he thus concludes ; "If those times return upon us, if we must again sympathise with distress, and bestow our admiration upon fortitude, will it not prove a consolation to us that all has been done that wisdom could suggest to avert the misery that must fall upon us—will not our ex pression of sympathy be more consolatory—will it not be more just and thoughtful that, in times of prosperity, surrounded by no necessity, succumbing to no clamour, unopposed by difficulty, will it not be a lasting consolation to us that the chastening of an all-wise and beneficent Providence, given for some good and wise end, perhaps to abate our pride, to convince us of our nothingness, to awaken in us a loftier sense of himself, and of his powers; will it not, I ask, be indeed consolatory to ourselves in those moments to find that no dispensation of a merciful Creator had been aggravated by our own obstinacy, or the faultiness of human institutions to prevent a supply of food to a famishing people?" Nottinghamshire has now an opportunity (not granted to any other county in the kingdom) of proclaiming its ad hesion to the cause of enlightenment, the cause of generosity, the cause of justice—Free trade. From the circumstances of Lord LINCOLN'S appointment as Secretary in Ireland and the demise of Mr. HENRY GALLY KNIGHT, both divisions are deprived of a representative, and hence the enfranchised inhabitants generally are in a position to prove themselves capable of appreciating the exigencies of the present extra ordinary crisis. It befits, however, all those who aresincerely interested in the advancement of commercial freedom to exhibit no tardiness in their movements; it befits them to remember that the upholders of a policy such as protection —a policy which has already received such a signal discom fiture—a policy which is now goaded on to the most fierce of all struggles, the struggle for existence—is straining every sinew to retard, if not entirely to suppress, the destruction with which it is threatened. It befits them, moreover, to reflect that if monopoly still possess a vast secretion of its old venomous spirit, and if, in the language of a great living orator, it has " lost the perforated tooth through which to squirt it"—that same pernicious spirit may still be scattered among the electors, if precautionary mea sures be not employed. Desperate as their case appears, candidates are not wanting to advocate the interests of the agricultural bugbear: in the southern division, we have bad occasion of late to mention the appearance under those un popular banners of a Mr. lIILDYARD—a silent young gentle man advanced by his Grace of NEWCASTLE as an antagonist to his Grace's fine-spirited and dauntless son—in the nor thern division we have now to direct attention to an address on Monday issued to the electors by Lord. HENRY BENTINCK, wherein that nobleman offe:s himself to their suffrages as a backbone Anti-Ministerialist. This redoubtable epistle being dated from Welbeck, is im pregnated throughout with that bias towards the perquisites of a " protected" landlord with which his Lordship's father, the Duke of PORTLAND, is imbued and animated. Of course, the Noble Lord commences with the hackneyed conven tionalities about partiality for " private life," and diffidence about " entering the arena," and all that sort of thing, of politics—pas , ages which resemble the blustering modesty of PAROLLES, immediately before that gentleman is drubbed for a braggart. Of course, the Right Hon. Candidate is plen tiful in his magnanimity, and expresses his readiness {Dike a farming Cunnua) to " sacrifice all private considerations," to become what? a philanthropist on a large scale—a whole sale HOWARD—a giver of food, and fuel, and clothes to man kind in the aggregate? Far otherwise; this act of wonder ful self-forgetfulness is infinitely more disinterested—it is for " the maintenance of the protective system ;•' in other words, it is for the aggrandisement of his paternal estates, it is for the deterioration of national comfort, it is for bloating the pocket of the landlord and pinching the stomach of the tenant. So much for the personal sacrifice of Lord HENRY BENTINCE, so much for the average logic and benevolence of his party. With these dispassionate men can have not even the shadow of a shade of a sympathy : they are so imexplicit, so paramountly selfish, so completely and irreparably obsolete in principle. Let the constituency of North Nottingham tarry not another moment in selecting some proper personage to represent the more rational—the ouly rational policy of commerce. Let them give their proportion of impetus to push the proposition of ISir ROBERT through Parliament with yet greater triumph, and to oust for once and for ever these gor mandisers of exclusive protection. Let them, msreover, meditate earnestly and copiously upon the oration uttered last night by the Premier—an oration of emphatic boldness, the tones of which were nerved with a consciousness of recti tude and wisdom. Nor was the reception—the silent, patient, cordial reception— of that address less significant of what must prove the consummation. For South Nottingham we feel an infinitely less proportion of anxiety; its former representative, Lord LINCOLN, has as sumed a deportment so manly, so uncompromising, and so intensely independent upon the question now under discus sion. As some off; et to the political squeamishness of the PORTLAND nominee, we would consists's...tote one sentence uttered by Lerd Listcorar, in the Corn-market of Nottingham, on Saturday last—we would sommemorate it because of its picturesqueness, because of its emphasis, because of its truth. " You might as well," said his Lordship, " attempt to stay the onward progress of the wind by the opposition of a feather, or to step the flowing course of the river that winds round your town with the puny hand of an infant, as to attempt to stop these measures by rejecting so humble an individual as myself." This is good, this is honest, this is plain spoken • it breathes of common sense, and not less does it breathe Of excellence of purpose. There is as wonderful a contrast between these two noble candidates in their diction as in the policies of which it is the expo nent. Lord hENRY BENTINCK is the supporter,e principles which have been long exploded; Lord LINCOLN is the up holder of the present comprehensive views. As such should they be estimated by the electors of North and South Not tinghamshire ; and if in accordance with the opinion of the majority, the consequences of the contest are self-evident. Madrid papers of the 10th were received by extraordinary express 'at Paris on Monday morning, announcing the resig nation of General NAItVAEZ as President of the Council. The QUEEN had accepted his resignation, and the Ministry consequently was dissolved. It was said that her MAJESTY had commissioned General RONCALI and the Marquis of VIRAFLonEs to form a new Cabinet. The affair altogether is a complete mystery, and probably arises out of some secret intrigues respecting the QUEEN'S marriage, but wo must wait. for further information to unravel the plot. The resignation of Senor MON, the Finance Minister, will be a great loss to the country. On the 4th the Three per Cents. were done at 32 3 / 4 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 23% at 60 days; and the Ma drid and Aranjuez Railroad Shares at 2,080 a t 60 days. The Paris papers of Sunday are destitute of news. Private letters, however, state that Marshal BUGEAUD had been recalled fram his Government of Algeria, on the ostensible ground that his presence would be necessary in the Chamber when the affairs of that colony came under discussion. The real cause, however, is his total incapacity for the situa• tion, which he has so long held to the disgrace of the French army and the ruin of French Interests in Afric:i. The public voice is unanimously opposed to him, and the KING has been compelled to yield. " The faults committed," says the Courrier Francais, "or in other words, the disastrous results obtained by Marshal BuclEAun, have rendered his incapacity so manifest that it was not in the power of the Ministry any longer to struggle against public opinion." The French Funds continued high. On Sunday the Three per Cents were done at 84f. 90c. BUSINESS LONE IN FOREII;N RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STUCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 16.
