Certainly at the time he , felt consider able resentment, for he had respected Lord Canter bur y for his attainments, his admirable temper, and know ledge of the forms of the House, in which of course hi s authority was very great. But he considered he ha acted in a manner unbecoming the Speaker of the House. Of course all resentment was now gone, and his respect for his Lordship still continued. These were the rea sons why he had stated the other evening that there were other grounds for his opposition in 1835, and he trusted they were satisfactory to tne Hon. Gentleman. Mr. M. SUTTON felt much obliged to the Noble Lord for the explanation he had given. Dr. BOWRING felt it to be his imperative duty to in trude at the present moment upon the attention of the House, and he felt that be must claim its indulgence when he was speaking to those who had every comfort of life relative to those unfortunate individuals who were without the comforts of a home. He was sent to that House in consequence of the distresses that existed in the district he represented. Many matters had been brought before the House of Commons, but the sufferings of the lower classes had found no redress.—(Hear.) There was, he would venture to say, at the present moment an immense mass of political discontent, which had be come dangerous, if something was not done, and that speedily, to alleviate the distress of the people. At the present moment, in the town of Bolton alone, there were 1,328 houses unoccupied ; and in the different town ships which composed the Poor-law Union, the number were 2,267, which was about one-eighth of the whole furnished houses in the Union, and there was not a single township in which there were many houses that were not unoccupied. The House, he was sure, would feel that that was a state of things perilous to the peace of society, and he felt confident that if he ventured to trouble the House with the details of individual suffer- Act tlic White Lieu notel, in the Ci y I Bristol, on 'rnunsn4y, . the 2d of September, at Elect o'Clock.

Several Members were sworn in: Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE presented a petition from 409 of the working men of Leicester, and 19 petitions from Nottingham. These petitions pro tested aga.iitst the present state of the represen tation of the people in that House. They stated that they had been brought up as working men, but they considered themselves slaves, as having no voice in the election of Members of that House. They prayed the House to address her _Majesty to dissolve the present Parliament—(A labgh)—and call another; and also that she would be pleased to order the release of all political offlaiders. Also a petition from twenty working men of Glasgow. The petitioners were not so complimentary to the character of that House. They considered the House as not a fair representation of the people, because the Members were elected by a very small portion of the middle classes of the state ; that they were disqualified legally and mentally from representing the community —(Laughter)—and they prayed the House to give up the present system of legislation ; and that her Majesty would be pleased to dissolve the present Parliament. Mr. VERNON SMITH brought up certain returns from the Colonial-office. 110 , 0YAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION, REGENT-STREET: NEW LECTURES on the DAGUERREOTYPE and PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS, with Illustrations, and a full Explanation of the Chemical Process adopted.

Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department. and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various sta g es of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial aed well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs. putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source. are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by e horn the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been vet down to the score of con.: sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habi , s practised by youth moth more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and r esponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby t o judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the d s estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

T HE WHIG SPEAKER.—Mr. Lefevre may be fairly regarded as a very fortunate man. He is now Speaker for life, or at least for as many years as he may think proper to occupy the Chair, since the same feelings which have pre vented the Conservatives from opposing him upon the present occasion, will probably exempt him from all danger of disturb ance in his county, wi.ere it is pretty well understood that the Duke of Wellington might have turned him out at the last electi on , if he had pleas ed. Six thousand a year, with the representation of Hamps hire, and the rank f the first commoner in the land, are not things that fall to the lot of many private gentlemen, without high con nexions, or talents of a very commanding order—but just as little do they fall to the lot of any man, unless there be great merit in the individual to justify the choice. Mr. Lefevre may not be a Fox. or a Burke, but he is a man of peculiarly good sense, good temper, good manners, and good taste, with a peif,Tt knowledge of the du ties of his office—a very prepossessing persm—and, as a neces sary consequence of all these things, has a great moral intluerve over those with whom he has to deal. The best proof of his merit is, that no man has so few enemies, and so many friends ; and though this may sometimes be she result of negative qua lities in private life, it seldom is so in public life when a man has to exercise authority over others which it is always difficult to assert without offence.—Herts Reformer. ELECTION PETITIONS. 10,344.1301.1.0:17LERE said.- tho -House ought now to 'decide on the course to be taken with respect to elec tion petitions. He apprehended the House would be disposed to adopt that taken on former occasions, and lie would therefore move that the old rules respecting election petitions be adopted. Petitions against the returns for Great Marlow, Not tingham, and Weymouth were laid on the table. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, the order of the day respecting election petitions was discharged. CASE OF ISPLEOD. Mr. EWAItT having moved the order of the day for the Adjourned Debate on the Address, Mr. ROEBUCK said, before the order was read, he wished to remind the House that last night he gave notice of important questions which it was his intention to put to the Government respecting the case of Mr. M`Leod.—(Hear, hear.) But notwithstanding that formal of notice neither of the Noble Lords the Secre taries for the Colonies or Foreign Affairs were present. (Cries of "Hear, hear," from the T or i es .) ADDRESS—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. EWART rose amid loud cries of " Spoke," from the Opposition, upon which the Honourable Gentle man appealed to the Speaker, who said that the Hon. Member having spoken last night only on the question of adjournment, had a right to be heard. The Hon. Member then said that, after the interruption, which certainly proved the inexperience in the Par liamentary usages of that House of him who made the motion, he should proceed with the discus sion of the subject before the House. Whatever different shades of opinion might be entertained by different parties in that House. it had been to him, and to many of those around him—he might say to all of them—a source , of real congratulation that the important principle of free trade appeared to be on the advance. He had gathered . as . much as this from the speech of the . Honourable Gentklnan the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who moved the amendment. He drew the same inference from the speech of the Noble Lord who seconded his motion. Indeed, that Noble Lord, if he (Mr. Ewart) understood him right, plainly and unhesitatingly ex pressed himself to be a friend to the principles of a free trade, while the Honourable Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, declared himself to be nothing less than a disciple of Mr. Huskisson. He must receive that declaration with peculiar satisfac tion, because if he was a real disciple of that dis tinguished statesman, he had to hail, in the Hon. Gen tleman the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire a friend to the final, though gradual, abolition of the Corn-laws. If he had read the opinion of Mr. Huskisson aright—if he had read rightly the celebrated Report of Mr. Huskisson, second only to the works of Adam Smith, which was produced on the evidence before the Agricultural Committee in 1821—if he had read that Report of Mr. Huskisson aright—he contended for the final extinction of the Corn. laws.—(Hear.) He rejoiced to think that in the objects they had in view, of establishing a free trade in corn, they had with them the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire. On another point, too, he was glad to' be able to coincide with the lion. Member. lie had expressed his admiration at the working classes during their recent privations, and stated that they had endured almost without complain ing those privations and distresses. He agreed with him that they had borne these most patiently, but he thought that the working classes had a right to expect more from the lion. Member for Yorkshire, and those who sat on that side of the House, than the mere cold expression of sympathy and commiseration. It was easy for him to bestow that cheap compassion, but the working man had a right to ask him for more than that. He had a right to demand from the Hon. Gen tleman opposite the suggestion of some special remedy. But the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, with respect to the special remedy, was most mysteriously but discreetly silent. That silence distinguished the conduct of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, and that silence was calculated to deceive, had it not been accompanied by commiseration. As lie had said before, the country had a right to expect from them something like a remedy, instead of the easy commiseration of a few .Conservative fears. But it was said that the country hadgiven its confidence to the party opposite, through the cries of the con stituent body. Those gentlemen, however, refused to declare the use which they would make of their newly acquired power. In the language of the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tamworth, and to use the new metaphor which he, with less taste than usually distinguished everything which flowed from his lips—that Hon. Gentleman said they were not called upon to prescribe' a remedy, until they had received the medical perquisites. He (Mr. Ewart) admitted that, as far as the constituencies were concerned, they had returned an answer to the appeal from the Crown which the Ministry could not resist, and he fully agreed with Hon. Gentlemen opposite, that seeing the relative numbers of parties in that House, they had a right to call upon any Government to adopt that constitutional course, which it would be unsafe and improper 'of a Government under similar circumstances not to take. But he saw in distinct perspective before him, that the Right Hon. Baronet would be called on to adopt the very course of those Ministers whom he wished to replace. He might, indeed, do it with some slight modification in the details of the Ministerial measures, but with their principles lie must coincide. The present Minis try had been vanquished by those measures. For a time they had given them a still and silent opposition, but the truth had at last forced itself upon their minds. In the course they had taken, he felt assured the Right Hon. Baronet would yet be constrained to follow. He (Mr. Ewart) thought he could see in the distance a repetition, with respect to the present measures, of the drama performed some twelve years ago upon the ques tion of Catholic Emancipation. To the true principles of religious freedom the Right Hon. Baronet had gradu ally come round ; and he (Mr. Ewart) believed that in the true principles of commercial freedom he would gradually acquiesce. The time would come when the Right Hon. Baronet should treat them to a remedy, medical or political, of the present commercial distress of the country.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Whatever might be his medical scruples—whatever his reluctance to prescribe, even after he had been called in—still he would find an empty exchequer. Like another celebrated medical character, the Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet, he would be compelled to say, " My poverty, not my will, consents." He would find the exigencies of the nation to be such that he would be compelled to do something; he would be compelled to come forward like the celebrated character to whom he alluded, and propose some measures of alle viation. He must come before them and state in the words he used on introducing the Catholic Relief Bill ; he would be compelled to come forward and say some thing must be done. He (Mr. E.) only hoped that when he did come forward and say so he would not be met by his Conservative Friends in the same violent manner as he was upon that occasion. He would then allude to the other details of the Speech of her Majesty, and he must say that lie regretted that it had seemed to be ne cessary, to make some omissions. The state of the representative system in this country was in anything but a satisfactory state, and the exercise of the elective franchise had been such during the late elections, he was sorry to say as an Englishman, as to excite, not only the astonishment, but the disgust of every foreigner. The disgraceful fact had been commented upon in almost every foreign journal. Such a system of corruption and intimidation, and the exercise of undue influence, had never been seen in any country, aril he believed never before in this. Had any such mention been made of those gross evils as to have led 'to I a hope of such enactments passing as would remedy such a colossal moral, and political evil, he would have felt the utmost satisfaction.—(Hear.) He was firmly convinced that the maintenance of the best interests of the country would be best secured by a new apportionment of the electoral constituencies ; and he believed that no benefit could accrue, or justice be done to the people, until such an apportion , ment had taken place.— (Hear, hear, hear.) With the spirit which breathed through the Address, he warmly concurred, for it was the spirit of peace. His Hon. Friend die Member for Manchester knew too well Ithe constituencies of the manufacturing districts of that country, and he (Mr. Swart) knew too well the feeling of the cominercial and manufacturing community not to feel that they attached the 'deepest interest to the preservation of the peace of the world, and there , fore that pardon of her Majesty's Speech found a ready echo in the bosoms of all those representing manufacturing constittencies, such as his Hon. - Friend represented. He particularly rejoiced that her Majesty had been able to announce to the House that relations of peace had been restored with France, a country with which it was the desire, as it was the interest of that country, to # 'main• taro the strictest connections of amity and friendship. He was sure that he spoke the sentiments of that portion of the country with which he was connected, when he said that Englishmen deemed their interests closely interwoven with the maintenance of the dig nity and independence of France, and, therefore, they hailed with peculiar satisfaction the statements from the Throne which confirmed the concord previously existing, and dispelled the unhappy shadows of discord which had begun to hover over the political horizon. There was another portion of the world with which he trusted our relations would continue to remain undis turbed ; need he say that he allieled to the United States of America. The kindred ties which united us with that country rendered it a matter of feeling as well as of interest to do everything to maintain those ties undissolved ; and although, he was sorry to say, there appeared to be cause to apprehend the amicable relations between these countries might be interrupted, partly in consequence of the legal constkution of the United States, and partly in respect of the unhappy dif ferences respecting the north-eastern frontier, yet he trusted that the mutual interests of both countries would induce them to approximate, so that no disturbance might take place in the harmony subsisting between them, any disturbance in which must distract the peace and commerce of the world ; for if England and America should ever be seriously at issue, the peace and commerce of the whole world must be endangered. He trusted that such a misfortune would be avoided if it were avoidable in any manner con sistent with the honour and permanent interest of the country. He rejoiced to find that in her Majesty's Speech her Majesty had expressed her warm sympathy for her suffering people, and that sympathy had not been confined to mere cold and formal words, nor, like the Honourable Gentlemen opposite, did her Majesty confine herself to the mere expression of sympathy while the remedy was postponed to a distant day. Her Majesty suggested that they Should take what, in his opinion, was the best and only remedy, viz., the adoption of a system of commercial retbrm. In the cause of that commercial reform—in the attempt to lower the duties both on articles imported from our . own distant colonies, and on those produced in foreign countries—many poor friends with himself had been doing their utmost, although for a considerable portion of time without success. In that great cause they had been the pioneers, or he might more properly say, the forlorn hope, and he was happy to find that others were now advancing onward in that career which they had so long prosecuted. These measures might be said to have been begun in the me mory of those now in Parliament by a reduction of the duties on the East India productions —measures of a more extended nature than had then been adopted by the Government of the day. (Hear, bear.) The great question of the Corn-laws then came on. In the last session there was presented to the House the celebrated Report on the Import Duties. That Report had awakened the attention of the country in such a manner that he, trusted it would not slumber until all the restrictions on commerce had been removed. He was convinced that there were scarcely any Ho nourable Members connected with the landed in terest who did not feel that nothing was more im portant even to their interests than the prosperity of trade and manufactures. He hoped he should be excused if he referred to the conviction on this sub ject which was entertained by Members of that House a century ago, showing that the same truths existed in all time. So long ago as 1732 he found the landed gentry who sat in that House expressing their sense of the importance of the manu factures to the prosperity of the country. He found one of the honest country gentlemen of that day stating his opinion that the landed estates would not, without manufactures, produce one-fourth of their present rent. Such opinions were as true in the year 1841 as they were in the year I.732.—(Hear, hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend the Member for Manchester had re ferred on the previous night to the opinions which had been expressed by a person deservedly of the highest commercial consideration when he sat in that House, the late Sir Robert Peel, and had quoted the observations of that experienced manufacturer and trader on the sub ject of the Corn-laws. He . .(Mr. Ewart) would go still further—he would quote the opinions of another person on the importance of extending commerce and manufactures, namely, those of the present Sir R. Peel, and if the advice of the father were lost upon any Hon. Gentleman opposite, at all events they would listen to the more recent and equally valuable counsel of the son of that father. Sir R. Peel in the year 1836, gave the following sound advice to the landed interest of this country. 'Toe Right Hon. Baronet could not, he said, help think ing that he saw in the great prosperity of our trade and manufactures a more encouraging prospect of the improved condition of agriculture than in any other definite-cause.... (Jl24,l:wart) trusted that now when Honourable Members were called on to ad vance that trade and those manufactures they would consider that, in the opinion of the Right Hon. Barone', they would, in effecting that object, advance the agri cultural interest of the country. He trusted that they would at least have some respect to the . opinions of the Right Hon. Member for Tamworth. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that he was perfectly satisfied that the hopes of the agriculzurists should rest on their own exertions—that from them they would derive their best success. He thought it necessary to call the attention of Honourable Gentlemen opposite to the opinions of one whose wise counsels they gene rally followed. He had ventured to refer to the &offish farmers, to whom the Right lion. Baronet referred, and with whom the principle of free competition succeeded. They had found that commerce was their best friend. It was well knoWn to every Honourable Gentle man who was at all acquainted with agricul tural matters, that the cultivators of • the soil derived from commerce the most signal advantages. To commerce they were indebted for the introduction of such improvements in agriculture as bone-dust,, and nitrate of soda. The Noble Lo r d th e M em b er f or North Lancashire, at a recent meeting of the Agricultural Association at Li verpool, alluded to another article which was likely to be of the greatest importance in the improvement of agri culture, namely, guana, which was imported from the shores of the South Pacific, and for the in troduction of which the agriculturists were in debted to the sagacity of an enterprising merchant. Nor was it to commerce alone, but also to manufactures, that agriculture was indebted. The steam-engine was now to be seen in the farm yard assisting in the operations of husbandry ; an d he was convinced that the largest advantages would be d er i ve d f rom th e more ex tensive application of the steam-engine in this branch of industry. An engine of six-horse power could be put up in a farm-yard for 1501., or even for less, and the farmers would find that cheaper than the kind of power which they now employed. He hoped that the present race partook of the improvement of the times, and were more enlightened than their fathers, who rejected every im provement. lie hoped that the landed proprietors did not still bear out the assertion of the most illustrious of Irish orators, the late Mr. Grattan, that in his days they " represented the inert capital and the inert talent of the country." Agriculture, like all other trades, was best promoted by free competition, and a steadiness of demand. The President of the Board of Trade had entered into elaborate, but conclusive calculations, to show that the present system of averages encouraged gambling, and was favorable only to the speculator in corn. The figures laid before the House last night were amply confirmed by the facts which he knew from his connection with many persons in the corn trade in Liverpool. The Hon. Member for Manchester went further than the President of the Board of Trade, and showed that not only trade, but the circulation, suffered in consequence of the uncer tainty attending the present system of averages. The best basis for a satisfactory currency, as in commerce, was in having the interchange as steady and permanent as possible, and this could only be done by a system of free interchange, or in other words, perfect freedom of trade. He was convinced that the only system for a sound basis for the currency was a sound system of free trade. He went further than either of his friends expressed themselves, because it was his opinion that it would not be sufficient to introduce those commercial reforms, but they would eventually have to be based upon a change in the system of taxation ; in short, he believed they would have to adopt a property tax—(Cries of " Hear, hear")—and take off the tax from lab our . He believed that the commercial changes that were taking place had a tendency to that end. Besides these reasons that existed at home, there were many other reasons which led him to that conclusion, and among them the state of their foreign trade. They had to encounter a most formidable foreign .com petition • since their machinery and manufactories had been so generally adopted in foreign . countries. Rapid advances had been made in Switzerla n d and Belgium in competing with the manufactur ing prosperity of this country. The manufac turers in those countries were enabled to e n j oy the advantages of combining patents which could only be used singly in England, and that was a very m a t er i a l advantage. His Honourable Friend the Member for Manchester had adverted to the increase of • the production . of cotton goods abroad ; and his state ments were confirmed by the authority of . the Hand loom Commissioners. 14Ir. Symonds stated upon that Commission, remarkable circumstances with re spect to the spinning of yarn ; and he (Mr. Ewart) felt most confident that at no distant period all Eng lish yarns, at least all under 150, would soon find no market in Switzerland. He might observe that, Switzerland, though possessing a b arren so il; now possessed a population better clothed and better fed than any other people in - Europe ; and he w as g l a d to be able to offer that evidence of the value of free trade. The export of our own yarns had very materially de creased within the last year, which was the first time that this had happened, and he thought it a very alarm ing circumstance. The foreigner had the great advantage over us of being enabled to adopt all our best machinery which it had taken us upwards of 50 years to bring to its present perfection. Again, they h a d the advantage of at once adopting the system of railways without the long and expensive experiments made by this country in bringing our turnpike roads to their present state, and they possessed the advantage of having greater perfection in the art of design. But there were other and more momentous oonslilerations than these. The Continent had found out the necessity of forming extensive confederations for the protection and nourishment of their trade a,nd manufactures, to which they had_ been driven by our prohibition system. That system of confederation was now extending itself still further—Holland had already adopted the system, and it was possible that a confederation of the same nature might take place between Belgium and France. Now what did all these confederations fur commercial purposes prove ? They proved that the persons who had undertaken them were convinced of the advantages and benefits of free trade, for so far as the circle was extend in-, it was the adoption of the principle of free trade.— (Hear, hear.) He therefore accepted these confedera tions as a silent homage .to the principles of free trade. They were political satellites, which, combined together as a whole, diffused a more brilliant and a more benefi cial light than they could do separately. Now how could these extensions of the system of free trade be met. by this country ? The only way in which they could be met was by extending our trade all over the world by adopting a free trade policy. If we did not adopt that policy we should suffer permanently and severely, but by adopting it we should disarm those Powers, and extend the commerce and glory o f th e na ti on through every part of the world. Another reason why he approved of the system of free trade was; because he was convinced that the principles of commercial freedom were favourable to the peace of the world. He hailed the day when the mutual interchange of their productions should bind 'the nations of the earth still yore to each other. He denied the principle held by some of - the Gentlemen opposite, that it was desirable that no country should be depend ent upon another ; on tho contrary, he thought a system of mutual dependence on each other had been de signed by Providence to bind the nations of the world more firmly together. Why should we not take the corn of America, as well as the cotton of America ? We took their cotton, and that commerce tended to bind the nations together in feelings of amity ; if we took their corn in.addition, it would increase the feeling of union between the two countries, and raise in the new corn-growing States of America a feeling bene ficial to the interests of this country. He, therefore, trusted that so far from seeing the iron fetters of re striction more firmly riveted on the commerce of this country, he should zee-them ere long struck off, and free play given to the unfettered energies of this great com mercial country. There is yet Inother view in which he supported the commercial system of freedom developed iu the Speech from the Throne. It was because he believed that if the principles of commercial freedom were gene rally adopted, this country would become the entrepot for the different trading articles of the world, the great Market of the world. Great Britain was the capitali s t of the worid, and where capital was, if it had a fair field, there would be the market of the world. This was the great reason why he supported the principles developed in the Speech of her Majesty, because he believed that, if adopted, Great Britain would become the market for coffee, corn, sugar, and all other articles of commerce. Such was the opinion of Mr.liuskisson, and such, he believed, would be the result. But it was not from any narrow or isolated view that these principles would be applied. Individual success was closely interwoven with the advance of the nation, and he was firmly con vinced, and he believed it would be proved by experience, that there was no other solid foundation for the splen dour and duration of our commerce, and for the peace and prosperity of the world. A ' Captain HAMILTON said it' would be some relief to the House. if he assured those Members that he was not going to follow the Hon. Member through all the topics of his speech. The Hon. Member had carried the House through our policy at home and abroad, through the Corn-laws, the duties which related to commerce, and to many other subjects ; hnt, although he had made a speech extremely advantageous to those who had heard him, he had not alluded to the real question before the House, namely, the want of confidence in Ministers. The Hon. Member had said very little in allusion to the Queen's Speech, Of that Speech. he (Capt. Hamilton) desired to speak with the greatest respect ; but un doubtedly the conclusion of it had thrown down the gauntlet to the House, and the question to be decided was, whether confidence was or was not reposed in the Government by the majority .• of that House.—(Hear.) The Hon. Member who just sat down alluded to the speech recently made by the Right Hon. Baronet .the Member for Tamworth. He (Captain Hamilton) was not there as the defender of the Right Hon. Baronet. He could not carry the House through the vicissitudes of doctrines of which the Hon. Member had pro pounded ; but he would . tell the House the invariable answer which he gave to the inquiries made of him re specting what the Righ t. Hon. Baronet intended to do. His answer was, that he could not say what the Right Hon. Baronet intended to do, but this he knew, that whatever the Right Hon. Baronet meant to do, it could not be worse than what was done by those on the other side. He (Captain Hamilton) found that all intelligent men were satisfied with that explanation.—(Hear. hear.) After he (Captain Hamilton) had ventured to address the House on the occasion of the Vote of Confidence in - the lata Parliament, the then Hen. Member for Kil kenny (Mr. Hume) taunted Hon. Gentlemen .4)11. the Opposition side of the House with what their constituents would say to them at the, hustings on the questions ofsugar, corn, and timber. Surely that Gentleman (Mr. Hume) must have made a miscalculation, else why was he not now a Member of the House ?—(Laughter.) He (Captain Hamilton) believed that the Hon. Member who just suit down was one of those Gentlemen who spoke in a simi lar tone as the late Member for Kilkenny. It was, per haps, presumption in him to allude to the speech of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies at the hust ings ; but the approaching division would develop what the result would be. Hon. Members might speak against time—they might go into any abstract question they liked in order to draw away public attention from the real point at issue ; but every individual was aware that the long and the short of the present debate was, did the Ministers of the .Crown possess the confi dence of the country ? He should say, decidedly not. The allusion to the Corn-laws was introduced into the Queen's Speech to enable Hon. Members to make speeches upon that Speech, so that their views might go forth to the public ; these were his reasons for voting in favour of the amendment. Mr. WARD conceived it to be the duty of Members on this side of the House to endeavour to ascertain the opinions of those who were the present 'candidates for power.—(Hear, hear.) He found a justification for that opinion in the speech of the lion. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who said that the policy of the future Government formed no part of the debate. Yet that Hon. Gentleman at the same time affirmed that he was sent here as part of the answer which the people gave to the appeal of her Majesty's Ministers.—(Tory cheers.) He (Mr. Ward) was as much a part of that answer as the Hon. Gentleman, and he must say that if the Noble Lord, whom the Hon. Gentleman then succeeded, had exercised his influence as others did, the West Riding of York would have returned a very different answer.—(" Oh, oh," from the Tories, and cheers.) The return of the Honourable Gentleman was one of the greatest mistakes ever made by the people of that riding.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) They had returned the party which had two sets of lan guage—one for the hustings and the other for the House.—(Cheers.) The. Noble Lord who seconded the amendment, and had shown great power and talent, was afraid to damage his character for free trade by assailing those parts of the Address in which that principle was recommended, but on the hustings at the West Riding the new Representatives appeared as the farmers' friends, and styled themselves the protectors of the agricultural class against the insidious attacks of that discreditable body the manufacturers.—(Loud cries of " Oh, oh," from the Tories.) It was not on such grounds that the Hon. Mover of the amendMent presented himself last night.—(Cheers.) He avoided all discussion of the Corn-laws and questions of commerce and revenue.— (Hear, hear.) But he drew- a bill of indictment against the Government of Lord Grey, and he descanted largely upon the appropriation clause, with which he did him (Mr. Ward) the honour to connect his name. lie spoke of the tergiversation of Alinisters in respect to that clause, and he (Mr. A.) wondered that the Hon. Gentleman could venture to speak of tergiver sation on Irish affairs, whet! he looked upon those who filled the benches behind him:—(Cheers and laughter.) Did he not know that Ireland was the classic ground of tergiversation? The Hon. Gentleman himself had, and much to his honour, changed his mind upon the affairs of Ireland, for which he was not yet forgiven,by those around him. The Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) near him (Mr. Ward) refused to join the Government of Mr. Can ning because Catholic emancipation was made ever an open question. Yet in no long time afterwards the Right Hon. Baronet was mainly instrumental in carry ing that measure as a Cabinet Minister. These things should be borne in mind by those who reproached Lord John Russell for his abandonment of the Appropriation Clause. For his part he (Mr. W.) thought that all such changes in public men were disadvantageous, when they found themselves compelled to give way upon measures shoulditot. a Yeel a t v h i e d y e t he to their opponents.—(Hear, hear.) In the case of Sir fwcoaurlrdybinegbseutteehr measures that course would have been better in the case of the err:II: responsibility opposed.b o i f li ellingten's Cabinet, that Catholic emancipation, which caused dissension in their party, which had not yet been reconciled, and led the way for the breaking up of the Government. In reference to the appropriation clause it would have been better if Lord John Russell had resigned when he was defeated on that clause. The country would have. seen what measures the Right Hon. Baronet would propose for Ireland—how he woali s egitlate on the corporations, the elective franchise, and that monster grievance the Irish Church.—(Great Cheering.) On the opposit e banches was now assembled the coalition of mono poly of all kinds. The time would come when they would have opposed to them the coalition of consumers. —(Cheers.) A day like this out of doors would cause that coalition rapidly to spread.—(Cheers.) This day was doing incalculable mischief all over the country. It was blighting the hopes of the husbandman, and spoiling the crops which were already scanty.—(Hear; hear.) It would do more' to destroy the effect of the majority for the amendment than all the speeches that could be made in that House. —(Hear.) The crop was already considerably below the average, and was now materially damaged by the wea ther.—(Tumultuous cries of " No, no," from the Tory benches.) They must not make the weather a party question in that House.—(Great laughter and cheering from the Tory benches.) Why, Hon. Gentlemen made it so, and it was singular enough that all sides reported the weather according to their wishes.—(Cheers and laughter on the Tory side for some minutes.) Why, Hon. Members met him with a direct contradiction of a fact for which he vouched from his own observations over that large tract of country with which he was con nected. The crop would there fall short of the average by 1-6th or 1-Sth. If he took the latter and smaller amount, there would be a deficiency of two millions of quarters, which would require five millions in gold to be sent to the Continent, and we s h ou ld b e o bli ge d to go into the worst market at the worst time, when the people of the Continent were themselves suffering from a bad season and a deficient crop.—(Hear, hear.) These were serious considerations, because a drain on the Bank operated on every branch of the industry of the country. They would have a repetition of what they said last year—they would have money going out that they could not spare,--they would have the currency embarrassed during the worst period, when the people were most in want of labour, food, and constant work. Of twenty millions duty that was paid on corn, six :pil lions might as well have been thrown into the sea. It was necessary then to have recourse to some better and more reasonable course. Now, what was that course to be ? He did not care one pin about the men who go vernal the country, but he did care much about the principles on which it was governed.—(Hear, hear.) What had they to decide on ? On one side they had a distinct and intelligible proposition, from a Govern ment" which told them they were willing to propose an Bs. duty on wheat, leaving the trade freefrom any other imposition,—on the other side they had a statement that gentlemen opposite were " willing to consider" of and " deeply sympathized" with the distresses of her Ma jesty's subjects, but they had also from the leader of that party a most distinct opposition pledge—the only one that he had been ever brought to give—that he meant to adhere to a sliding scale, which was adhering to a system which could never coincide with commercial interests. He (Mr. Ward) found also that significant words had been used in another quarter last night. He found that a Noble Duke was reported to have said that "M those absurd reports which are in circulation were well founded,—namely, that the opponents of the present Government would themselves propose a similar measure, I say, in the name of the landed interest, that should they do so we will turn them out. Let them only say that there shall be an Bs. duty, and after that free trade, and we who put them now in will put them out again."—(Hear, hear.) Now, how was the future Cabinet to be com posed ? The Noble Lord the Member for North Lan cashire, at his election, talked of the proposition of the Government as the destruction of agriculture. The Right Hon. Baronet had pledged himself to an indisso luble alliance with the sliding scale. The Noble Duke wished to adhere to the averages, and other Hon. Mem bers had told them that they regarded the proposition of an Bs. duty as an absolute insult to the landed interest. Now, let him inquire what was the amount of the Bs. duty ? Why it was equivalent to two rents for every acre. And could they ask more in the face of a suffer ing community ?—(Hear, hear.) What was the conse quence of this ? Why, that other parties were obliged to imitate the example. The result was, that manufac tures declined, and parties were obliged to seek refuge in other lands from the cruel effects of the Corn-laws. Now, what were the remedies which the amendment to the address proposed ? Why, simply this, that they were to put implcit faith in the good intentions of those whom a majority of that House were shortly to trans plant to that side of the House. What was there, he would ask, in the conduct of the Gentlemen On the other side of the House, to justify them in adopting such a course ?—(Hear, hear.) He did not see how they would improve the financial state of the country by placing in power men who had pledged themselves to the Hon. Member for Oxford to deal tenderly with the Church, and who had gloried in the short Con servative victory they had obtained with respect to the Poor-laws at Nottingham.—(Hear, hear.) Now lie (Mr. Ward) had never shrunk from maintain inghis opinion upon the subject of the New Poor-law. He had doubts, however, as to the line which the Right lion. Bart. opposite would be allowed to pursue by the bulk of the party which he led with respect to that law. He knew that many of them had committed themselves against the measure during the elections and during the debates which had preceded the dissolution of the late Parliament, by expressiog opinions which they now perhaps regretted. And, therefore, he saw no reason on that account for transferring power to the hands of the Right Hon. Bart. There was one more subject to which he wished to refer—the condition of Ireland. It certainly appeared to him very singular I that not a word had been said upon the subject of Ire land in the course of that debate. If he recollected right the Right Hon. Bart. opposite had declared in 1839, that Ireland was his great difficulty ; but had anything been done up to the present time to diminish that difficulty ? Had anything been done to facilitate the possibility of governing that country upon principles of justice and policy ? Ile imputed no intentions to the Right Hon. Baronet, with regard to Ireland, which were not politic and honourable ; but he should say he must govern that country through instruments which must fail in carrying out the moderation of his views. He was distrusted by the Roman Catholics and the Libe ral Protestants, and lie would be compelled to throw him self back upon the Orange party, with what result lie (Mr. Ward) would not undertake to say. Ireland, in stead of presenting the spectacle of a country whose people, after a few years of conciliatory legislation, would have amalgamated together, had lately exhibited among its inhabitants the wildest joy on the part of one portion of the population at the prospect of a restoration of the Tory ascendancy, while another portion had been driven by the violencle of their feelings to the verge of violating the law. He did say, therefore, he saw a tho usan d reasons for regret and none for rejoicing in the prospect of the consequences which would follow in Ireland from a transfer of power into the hands of Hon. Gentlemen op posite. He saw the possibility of the Irish people being goaded into' acts of violence which would serve as a plea for a reiteration upon the part of the British Govern of those fearful scenes which had been enacted in 1798, as one of the necessary, though, perhaps, not immediate consequences of the restoration of the Conservative party to office Their ablest men, with the single exception of the Right Hon. Baronet himself, had unfortunately committed themselves in an almost personal struggle with the Irish people. Let them look to the position of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Stanley) , the most brilliant of their Parliamentary supporters, and they would find that his name was identified in Ireland with a Bill whose tendency was to cut down the franchise of the people, and to make it utterly unworthy of a coun try which claimed an equality with England.—(Cheers on the Ministerial benches.) They were told that they were about to have a Government which would at least have the power of carrying their own measures. But the first measure to which the party was pledged, because it was that upon which their principal triumphs had been won, was that Registration Bill which made the Noble Lord's name be held in detestation by one portion of the realm. Again, one of their leading supporters else where was a Noble and Learned Lord whose name was associated with words which had sunk deeply into the breast of every Irirhman.—(Hear.) These were the things which made him tremble for the consequences of the accession to power of the party opposite. He found the Right Hon. Baronet pledged to no principle of com mercial legislation save the maintenance of the sliding scale ; he saw danger in Ireland ; and he knew of no possible expectation of good which could induce him to vote in favour of the amendment before the House. Mr. M. SUTTON felt that he was not called upon to follow Han. Gentlemen opposite through the various topics which they had discussed, not because he did not admit their importance, but because he thought her Ma jesty's Ministers could not take these subjects into their consideration unless they possessed the confidence of the House.- 7 (Cheers.) The verdict of the last Parliament had been decidedly against them. An appeal was then made to the country, anti the Noble Lord, the leader of the Government in that House, admitted, in his address to his constituents, that ,the country was again s t th em _ that he thought it behoved that House, before taking any measures into consideration, to decide whether they placed any confidence in the present Ministers of the Crown.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted the House would allow him to allude to a subject rather apart from the question before the House ; but, its it was an important matter to him, he trusted the House would bear with him fur a few moments. On a former evening, when the Noble Lord was congratulating the Speaker on his re election, in which he (Mr. M. Sutton) would have cor dially concurred had he been present—(Cheers) — he was reported to have said that he had opposed the re election of his Noble Relative (Lord Canterbury) in 1835 on other grounds than political ones. Now, the dimness and perfect indistinctness of this charge had given pain to his Noble Rel a ti ve, who was not afraid of any charge that could be made against him ; but he complained of its indistinctness.. H e (Mr. M. Sutton) flattered himself that the Noble Lord would be much obliged to him for giving him an opportunity of stating fully and fairly the nature of the charge to which he bad alluded.—(Hear.) Lord J.RUSSELL—Perhaps the House would allow him to answer the question which had been put to him with out interfering with the debate.—(Cheers.) On the oc casion of the election of Speaker, the Right Hon. Baronet Sir R. Peel assumed that the sole reason why the N. election of Lord,Canterbury in 1835 was opposed, Was, that his political opinions did not agree with the majo rity of the House. As he (Lord J. Russell) had made a different statement. he did not think it right tes allow that statement to pass without remark, and therefore he stated that that was not the sole reason, but that there were other matters connected with the conduct of Mr. Manners Sutton which made him oppose his re-election. As far as his recollection served him, he stated at that time that that Right lion. Gentleman had not com mitted a positive breach of duty ; yet his conduct he Con sidered to be unbecoming the part of a Speaker of the House of Commons. In 1834 thffeWtta a great majority w hich supported the Government, of which Lord Althorp w as the representative in that House. During the re cess that House was dissolved, and at the Privy Councils where that measure was decided upon, attended by the heads of the r e;:ty, which was in a small minority, Mr, Manners Sutton took his place. I t was Ilia (Lord John Russell's) opinion that stleh conduct was improper —that ho ought 04 have submitted to the Crown, that 1 - • the organ of the House of C ommons . ,eing be fl ought not to say nothin of llovo— .made a party coun ce lli ng its '• ....ssolution. He would g ,i g —taunt which had proposed and ing which he had obtained from authenticated sources, it would feel that something must be . doe, and that immediately, in order to remove the mountain mass of misery that existed.—(Hear, hear.) The poor were wil ling to labour, but for the produce of their hands they could find no market. Many countries were producing excess of food, but they could not obtain it in conse quence of the restrictive laws of the country. Why, he would ask, should not the people be able to go to any country they thought proper, -and'bbtain its produce for their labour ?—(Bear, liar.) The Hon. Member hero read several instances of cases of the most extreme dis tress in the manufacturing districts, and stated with re spect to Bolton, though its population had in creased 4,000 or 5,000, the employment of its artisans had fallen off in a frightful degree. —(Hear.) He agreed with many of the observations of his Friend the Member for Bath, in which he stated that he felt great ground to complain of her Majesty's present Government in too frequently - following the example set them by the other side °rale House. He could assure the Gentlemen opposite that if they chose to go beyond the present Government in the alleviation of the distresses of the people, they would be the re cipients of the public benediction.—(Hear, hear.) But he had no such hopes. He should liked to have heard from the Right lion. Baronet that he intended to go further than the present Government, for if he had none would have gone further than himself (Dr. Bowring) to support him in so good a work. With respect to the state of the foreign relations with this country, he would venture to sayi f the House examined into them theywould find great cause for fear. In Germany, America, and other places, there was growing up a spirit against this country, from which the worst results might spring. He was not one that much valued reciprocity, but he was desirous that this country should, at the present time, hold out the hand of fellowship to those countries that were willing to meet it. There had been a great and alarming change in the articles of exportation within the last few years. Instead of sending to foreign countries as formerly the fully manufactured articles, we now exported machinery. 'rho example of England with her high duties would be followed by other countries ; the poisoned chalice would be returned recommended to her own lips. He had stated that the aericult - ural interest need not be alarmed at the proposed Change ; there would not be more than from four to five million additional quarters of wheat grown, and that quantity would soon be consumed in consequence of the increased comforts of the people. They feared a great reduction in the price, but such a fear was without foundation, for the price must rise abroad with an in creased demand, and the duty, together with the expense of transit, must render any change but trifling. He had performed his duty in informing the House that there was a fearful mass of misery and discontent in the coun try; he would abjure them not to turn from them with an unwilling and unlistening ear—give them hopes of a redress of their grievances —tell them that the field for their labour will be extended—associate with their hap piness the political and financial well-being of the coun try, for so only could they participate in peace and prosperity. Mr. P. M. STEWART would follow the ex'ampl'e of the mover, and his Noble Friend the seconder of the amend , ment, and state the reasons which gave him the victory in the large and important county which he represented, The . first that he would merely mention was, that his known determination to stand by the Church of Se,(4- land in her present trials, and to rescue her in!-,lepee dence. The other was his well-known character; as an un flinching advocate of free trade in every that could be taken of it. He let ould limit duties nearer to the exigencies of revenue; and the sooner that principle was acted upon the better for the country. He could not agree with the Gallant Member who had said that all discussion should merge itself into the question of yes or no. Had the House confidence in her Majesty's Minis ters or not ? The questions had been fairly raised by her Majesty's Speech, and in his opinion the House had a right to speak to them as direct questions. In accordance with that opinion, he would, as the representative of a large and important county, embracing the agricultural, the commercial, and the manufacturing interests, every one of which were in a state of extreme distress from vicious legislation—he would address a few words to the House respecting the Budget., as it was called, and few they would be, because, from the state in which the country now was, it was perfectly clear that many occa sions would occur for discussing the question seriatim. The first qnestion that presented itself was that of the sugar duties. He did not know whether many in the House remembered his former appearance there ; if so, they would know that he had a deep stake in the colo nies ; that he must stand or fall along with them ; that, according to their prosperity, so would he be prosperous ; and as a colonist he felt constrained to thank the Ministers for the principle of the commercial code offered by them. He approved of the principle involved, but he opposed the details ; but, it had been said in another place that the prin ciple of commercial freedom was what was wanted to be established, and the details could be settled here after. In his opinion, and speaking as a colonist, h e said the proposition for reduc ing t h e distinctive duty on the staple duties of the colonies, was one fraught with un mixed good, and would tend much to their prosperity. He congratulated the colonial interests on it, be cause it was a proposition to make the colonies an in tegral portion of the empire. As a matter of course their produce must be admitted to all the manufactories of the country the same as the produce of Britain. Then with re gard to the timber duties, he said those connected with Canada were mad, or as they would more expressively say in his country, demented. If they did not at once close with. the proposition made to them—they were offered a differen tial duty oflso percent., just what the country complained the colonie s enjoye d , b ut they were quite willing to take 50. So absurd were the present duties that it was a pay ing trade to take Baltic timber to Canada eta then smug gle it in at the low duty. It was too absurd a system to last, and must sooner or later fall, and he said the sooner the better for all parties. Now with regard to the Corn laws. It appeared from the tone of the debate as if it was thought that there was an extraordinary opposition between the views of each party. No one was found seriously to advocate a total repeal of the Corn-laws. The pro position made was a fixed duty instead of a sliding scale ; and he said, that considering that the latter had been tried for 200 years—ever since the time of Charles tho Second, during which period there had been 40 changes of the law, they were now entitled to a trial of the fixed duty. , In 18 Act,adm2iBt admitted that a C t . i t w Grant, as a in bringing q u estio in the nofmino pre sentrinl psloidrtiannesec‘avllel.ethsero t a h ls e o p s r a o i te d c il t l io r n .

He was perfectly convinced that, in a very short period, the Corn-laws would be settled on a satis factory basis. Even the Mr. Peel of 1828 said a sliding duty would lead to a gradual importation. Now, had it not led to the very evil which he thought to obviate from 1815 to 1828—thirteen years, we imported three- ale." half millions of quarters ; and from 1828 to 1840 J'a -,-° but the i r t thirteen years—th e i m p or t a ti on was 11,200 was not gradual • f o r, i n s i x years ofahei ,000 less than ten milli on ou t o f t h e e l eve - utter period,' no Hon.

Ile liked clamour when publi c abuses were under consideration. The fire-bell disturbed their sleeep at night ; but it kept them from being burned in their beds. The hue and cry spread alarm through the country ; but it preserved their property. All these clamours led to the redress of evils and abuses--(Cheers) —and that brought him to the point which formed il ia main accusation against the Government—viz., that they had dissolved the Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Y: ow, he was one of those wh o h a d come to the cone]"asion that the Government would have been unpardoneile if it had not done so. Before they had taken that Step their re sponsibility was serious ; but now that responsibility was light—(Hear, hear, and a laugh)-4rad although the prospects might be more .denary, the responsibility of the rejection of thes":, measures was with the people, and redress wa', in their own hands.—(Hear, hear.) His Noble 7riend, the seconder of the amendment, had " I ' 3 that he was a disciple of free trade, but he be lieved his Noble Friend had qualified that expression by that he was a disciple of free trade, with t h e ex ceptionsay- g n of those articles in which 'particular interests were involved.—(Hear, hear.) Now, so far as he under stood his Noble Friend, he would not interfere with any
