GLOBE.—The majority of our readers will, doubtless, recollect that a case that came on last 3 , ear in the Arch es ' C ourt o f C anter b ury, when the Vicar of Gedney was proceeded against for refusing to bury an infant baptised by a Wesleyan minister. The facts alleged were fully proved, and the canon law having imperatively fixed the punishment of suspension for three months as the sentence to be passed on the offence alluded to, the Vicar of Gedney was condemned to undergo the penalty. The promoters of the suit, who were actuated by no vindictive feeling., urged upon the Court, through their advocate, their desire that the sentence should, if possible, be mitigated; but an intimation having been given by the advocate of the Vicar that the Reverend Gentleman intended appealing to a higher tribunal, Sir Herbert Jenner, who presided, felt the necessity of complying strictly with the law, and gave his decision accordingly. The matter was subse quently carried before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in conformity with the in timation given by the Vicar while proceedings were pending in a lower Court. The result has been, that the Council confirmed the sentence passed by the Court of Arches, and condemned the appellant in the entire costs of the litigation. One would have imagined that the Vicar of Gedney, having got what he wanted—the opinion of the Privy Coun cil upon his case—would have submitted himself, as became a Christian minister and a good subject, to the authority of the law, particularly when laid down by the highest Court of Judicature; but the Vicar prefers impugning the decision of the Privy Council, and taunting its Members with the sort of regard they pay to the oaths they have taken. Not content with his own feelings of irritation on the subject, the Vicar endeavours to rouse the whole ef the clergy. The Reverend Gentleman, in a letter which appears as an advertisement in this day's Times, asks his brethren if they will " sit down quietly under such mockery," as the deliberate exercise by the Privy Council of the judicial functions assigned to it. The judgment is stigmatised as " a wicked insult to the word of God and his Church," and the clergy are urged to call on their respective diocesans to oppose it in their proper places. We feel that it would be superfluous to offer any comment on the very remark able language of the Vicar . of Gedney. The inter ference of his diocesan may be requisite ; but not exactly in the way that the Reverend Gentleman ap pears to desire. As the Vicar's violation of the law has resulted in his suspension for three months, and a liability to costs amounting to upwards of one thou sand pounds, it is not likely that many of his " reverend brethren," to whom he appeals for sym pathy, will be actuated by any strong desire to follow his example. STANDARD.—Notwithstanding the dictum of that very competent authority, Mr. Milner Gibson, that the Corn-law question and the distress have not been half discussed—a dictum a little at variance with the fact that during nine hours' debate the Opposition could not produce one new proof, or the shadow of a new argument—notwithstanding Mr. Gibson's bold assertion, we fancy that we shall best consult the taste of our readers by passing over the fifty times rehearsed discus sion sicco pede. Have not all the speeches been heard from Corn-law lecturers, or read in the Morn ing Chronicle's reports of the proceedings of the Leaguers' Parliament in Palace-yard, or got by heart by the unhappy reporters in the House of Commons' gallery ? Who has any " particular desire" for another appearance of Mr. Ward, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Brotherton, or any o f th e rest 9 f the performers ? Lord Palmerston may, however, claim a remark as a late Cabinet Minister in the highest station, and his Lordship has added to this claim by the pre-eminence of his mischievous folly. There are at present about one million two hundred thousand quarters of corn in bond ; this corn may be to-day released at a. duty of Bs.—the fixed duty determined upon in Lord Palmerston's own budget —and released it would be at that duty by prudent men with such a prospect of a harvest as we have before us. Lord Palmerston sees this, and fears this, and what course does he take ? Without a pretence of authority, in any thing that has fallen from the Government, he starts up and assures the holders of bonded corn that they must not sell. " Gentlemen," he !says, "hold fast ;do not release a part even, at the rate of duty which the late Government thought fair; wait but a few weeks, and Sir Robert Peel will let out all your corn dut;free." Can anything be imagined better calculated to keep up prices, and if high prices are the sole cause of the distress, as Lord Palmerston and his faction pretend, to aggravate that distress ? The mischievous effect will not be produced, because nobody will believe Lord Palmerston ; but it is a poor defence of a man to say, that his ill designs are frustrated only by his ill character. We are, it appears, to have the debate again hashed-up to-night. Is there no remedy for this insupportable nuisance ? While any doubt of the 'hypocrisy of the Opposition remained the thing might be borne with as affording occasion for the exposure ef that hypocrisy ; but, after Lord Palmerston's ingenious device of last night to aggravate and continue the distress of the poor, even this one utility has ceased. ELECTION COMMI TTEES. (THIS DAY.) IPSWICH. The Committee resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. Mr. Pack was called.—l was canvassed at the election by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. A. B. Cooke. It was on the Monday before the election. I was at the Bull's Head with my brother. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Cooke came in to canvass the landlord, and I teas asked if I would vote for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone. I said, " I dare say I shall vote for them." On the evening of the nomination day I went to the King's Arms with my wife. There were thirty or forty people there. Some beer was brought to me by a waiter. I was drinking in the house till twelve o'clock. I have not paid for the beer. When I was going away, the landlord asked me to come to breakfast in the morning. I did not go. I went at ten o'clock in the morning to the Salutation with my wife. I had some beer and something to eat. It was brought to me by people in the house. While I was there a carriage drove up, and Mr. Cooke got out, and asked me to go up to the polling-place. I said I would not ride, as I was able to walk. I went to the poll in about half an hour. Mr. Cooke came to the public-house again, and went out with my wife, and when he came in again I went up and voted for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone. After that, I went to the King's Arms, and received a ticket for two pots of beer. I saw others with' tickets. Cross• examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I made sip my mind to vote for the Blue party the first time I saw Mr. Gladstone. I did not promise, but I said I had no objection. I was canvassed by the other party. I did not promise them my vote. That was after I had seen Mr. Gladstone at the Bull's Head. I had some beer at the tap three weeks ago. A man named Frost called twice at my house and asked me to go. I saw Mr. Fuson and Mr. Charles Cooper Mulley in a room up stairs. When I came down I had some beer with Frost and Cooke. We were drinking beer from half-past eight to half-past ten. I have not paid for any of it. I went a second and a third time to the Fox, and had some beer. Was examined at the Fox by Mr. Euson and Mr. Mulley, but I did not sign any paper. Examined by Mr. KINGSLAKE—I went to the Fox about my evidence. Mr. Birst offered me some beer yes terday at Fendall's Hotel. I had some beer with James Adams at the New Inn yesterday. When the yellow party canvassed me I said I should consider of it. .Margaret Pack, examined by Mr. PIERCE—I am the wife of the last witness. On the nomination-day I went with my husband to the Salutation. We had smile beer while we were there. Mr. Arthur B. Cooke came in and said, " Well, Master Pack, when are you going to vote ?" Mr. Cooke spoke to me apart from my husband. I asked him a favour. We were much distressed, and I asked for 10s. He said he would give it me another day, but not on the occasion of my husband's voting. The day after I went into the shop, and he said " the trifle that I promised you is ready." He pointed to it lying on the the counter. I know . the King's Arms p u bli c -h ouse. I was then with my husband on that day. There were some tickets given ; I had one. I told my husband to vote for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone, and he did so. Cross-examined by Mr. Austin—Mr. Cooke has been in the habit of relieving our difficulties for years past. When I asked Mr. Cooke for the 10s., I said I was much distressed, and I should be much obliged if he would assist us, and he said he wou:d see about it. That appli cation was not on the occasion of my husband's vote. John Downing examined by Mr. kingslake—l know a person named Bunting, a sack manufacturer, of Ipswich. I became a surety for him for a debt to the money club. I called on Mr. Bristoe and said I was alarmed about the paper I had signed for Bunting. Bristoe told me that 1 was liable. This was in September last at a municipal election. Mr. Bristoe told me this year not to disturb my mind about the security. On the nomi nation day I saw Mr. Bristoe the Tuesday before the election, and 1 asked him about the money. I told him I had heard that I was liable, and he told me that if I got, a fresh se cur ity from Bunting, I might have the hills and burn the m if I liked, and take no more notice of it. On the nomination day I saw Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone ; Mr. Bristoe introduced me to them, and I shook hands with them. I then spoke to Mr. Bristoe about the bills, and he said it should be all right if I would call upon him next week. I told him if I voted for Blue it would be to clear me of the security, to release me from the trouble, and he said, that shall be all right." The Blue candidates did not ask me to vote. I voted for Blue. On the day of voting I breakfasted at the King's Arms. I did not pay for it. I had an order to go. On the Wednesday after the election I saw Mr. Bristoe. He said Mr. Bunt ing had not called upon him. He asked me to go and tell him to come down on the next morning. I went again on the Saturday. Bunting was there, and he offered to release me of my liability. On the Wednesday following it was settled. Bunting was to pay 251. in five years, clearing me from responsibility. A memorandum ‘N. as made, and my name was struck from the old paper. If it had not been for th© release I should not have voted for Blue ; I always have voted for yellow. Cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I should consider that Mr. Bunting would be better able to pay 251. than rnyself--he would be a better security. Sarah Ann Downing examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS.— On the day of election a gentleman came up to me and asked me which way my hustand was going to vote. Mr. Bristoe came up, and he said he had got the bills, and he wished to have them settled. I said when do you wish my husband to call, and he said next week. Mr. Clarke—l was a secretary to the money society. Was called to prove that the society had been extinct some months before the election, and that no advance had been made to Bunting of the sum of 251. There had been advances made to Bunting to the amount of 150 L, and Davies was one of the securities ; but the whole amount was discharged before the winding up of the society. Edwin Franks examiued—Voted for the two Blue Members for Ipswich. Was at the King's Arms on the day of election. Saw Frost there. Had some refresh ment there. He had a 3s. ticket. Has a son who is a voter ; he also bad a 3s. ticket ; that was after witness had voted. Witness got 10s. to carry him home, as he lived Bbout 61 miles from Ipswich—at Levington ;bs son had the same. Mr. Stewart gave witness the 10s. It was in a room where there was a table covered with papers, with several gentlemen sitting round the table. • William Franks, son of the last witness, gave similar• testimony. Robert Page deposed that he had a vessel, named the Success, in Ipswich at the time of the election. The Captain's name was Bishop. On the day of the election Mr. Cooke came to witness, and he asked if Bishop was going to vote, and witness replied he did not know Mr. Cooke said " What are Bishop's principles ?" Witness replied '" I don't know as he's got any."—(Laughter.) Mr. Cooke said, " Will Bishop stay to vote ?" and wit ness replied, no, he would not, as he would lose his voyage. Mr. Cooke said, " What will his voyage be ?" and witness answered about 71. or 8( Mr. Cooke agreed to give him the amount of the voyage if he would stop to vote. Bishop stopped and voted, and in about three weeks after witness went to Mr. Cooke's house and received " the blunt."—(Laughter.) Mr. Cooke paid him 81., a five-pound note and three " wery light sove reigns."—(Loud laughter.) Witness gave Bishop's wife 61., and kept 2L for himself to pay the expenses of the delay of the vessel. Sarah Bishop corroborated this evidence. 'fHomAs BOWMAN, a shoemaker, deposed that he called upon Mr. Bristoe, to have his name put upon the band, as he was a musician. He (Mr. BristGe) said that the name of witness could not be put on the list, but another name must be inserted ; and the witness was paid thirty shillings as a musician. Witness played in the band about half an hour. Witness was not bound to play—it was a voluntary act. Witness went to the King's Arms and had something to drink. Witness had as much as he could drink, but paid nothing. It was hear announced that the Speaker was at prayers, and the Committee adjourned till 11 o'clock, to-morrow. NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME. TERMINATION OF THE INQUIRY. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham having replied to Mr. Cole, the room was cleared. After a short time the parties were called in, - and the CHAIRMAN announced the fol lowing resolution :—" That John Q. Harris, Esq., having been declared by a Committee of the House of Commons to have been guilty of bribery by his agents at the previous election for Newcastle under-Lyme, and that election having been avoided, was incapable of being elected at the election which took place in consequence of such avoidance." Counsel for the sitting Member having agreed that a sufficient number of votes should be struck off to place Mr. Colquhoun in a majority, the Committee came to the usual decision, "That J. Q. Harris, Esq., was not duly elected at the last election for the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and ought not to have been re turned ; and that John Campbell Colquhoun, Esq., was duly elected, and ought to have been returned, but that the defence of the seat was not frivolous or vexatious."

Their Lordships met at Five o'Cclock, the Earl of Shaftesbury sitting on the Woolsack, in the place of the Lord Chancellor, who was prevented from attending by illness. A Messenger from the Commons brought up the South Australia Bill, and other Bills, which were severally read a first time. SUDBURY DISFRANCHISEMENT. Lord CAMPBELL gave notice, that on Monday he would move that it be a standing order of this House, that no Counsel be heard - for or against any Bill pending in this House, who is a Member of the other House of Parliament. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE postponed to Mon day the second reading of the Sudbury _Disfranchise ment Bill. MINES AND COLLIERIES BILL. Lord SKELMERSDALE gave notice that on the next stage of the Mines and Collieries Bill, he should move that women of mature age who had been accus tomed to work in mines and collieries should be allowed to continue in that employment if they chose. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. The Earl of RADNOR said that as the distress of the country was going on at an alarming rate of increase, and threatened to lead to very frightful results. He wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Pre sident of the Council, what grounds he had for saying that there was reason to hope that the country would soon right itself, and that the distress would be abated ? The Noble Earl concluded by moving for several re turns relating to the importation of corn and provisions under the new tariff. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that he could perceive symptoms of improvement going on in the present state of things, and he believed that if it had not been for the agitation which was still kept up, the law would have operated to the advantage of the country. Unless it was seen that the Government had the firm ness and the power to resist the demand made on them for a further alteration of the law, the change which they had already made would not have fair play. The agitation prevented its coming fairly into operation, and but for that it would have by this time done great good, and he was con vinced that it would do great good. The Marquis of ULANRICARDE was very glad to know what the Noble Baron (the President of the Council) meant by saying that the Bill would do great good. Some people thought that a Bill would do good which kept up prices, and others which would keep them down. He wished to know in which sense the Noble Baron promised the country that his Bill would do good?—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Lord WHARNCLIFFE—What I said was, that I thought the Bill would do good, by keeping prices steady.—(Cheers, and counter cheering.) The Earl of RADNOR said he could not understand on what grounds it was pretended that the agitation of the Corn-law question prevented the Govern ment measure from coming into operation.—(Hear.) If the law would allow corn to come in it would have come in, for there could be no doubt that the people wanted it.—(Hear.)

Ous.—Pale Seal Oil at an advance' of 55 to 105; 371 IN to LAW OF ARREST. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill for the abolition of arrest in execution. The Bill was framed with a view to relax the severity of the present, and at the same time to give creditors greater facility for obtaining possession of the property of debtors, or rather of their own pro perty in the hands of their debtors. Another object of the Bill was to protect from oppression honest debtors who made a fair and full surrender of their property. Ilis Lor6hip likewise laid on the table a Bill for facili tating volmitary arrangements between Debtors and Creditors. Lord COTTENHAM hoped that his Noble Friend's Bill would not prevent them from eventually adopting the wider course of abolishing imorisonment for debt altogether. _ _ MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. A Messenger from the House of Commons brought up the Customs Act Amendment Bill, and several private Bills. THE COUNTY COURTS BILL AND BANK RUPTCY LAW AMENDMENT BILL. These Bills passed through Committee and were or dered to be read a third time on ;Monday. MINES AND COLLIERIE . B BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from some place in Yorkshire against this Bill. The Marquis of NORMANBY took this opportunity of explaining his views upon this Bill. He was convinced that the whole of the evidence col lected by the Commons had been collected in a very praiseworthy manner, with very great zeal, and uith every attention to correctness and im partiality. Great pains had been taken in the selection of the Commissioners, and he hoped that the Bill would pass their Lordship's House without any impediment. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY repeated his opinion that the evidence was not to be relied on. The Earl of DEVON thought that there was enough in the documents before the House to justify their Lord ships in passing the enactments, which he had proposed in the Bill which he had supported. Lord CAMPBELL said that as the petition prayed for a grant of money, the House could not receive it until such grant had the sanction of the Crown. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that the petitioners did not directly ask for a grant, but put that part of the prayer hypothetically. The petition said no more than that if their Lordships passed the Bill, they ought also to provide for compensation to those who would be injured by it. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Several Bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the South Australia Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The House then Adjourned till to-morrow (Saturday) at twelve o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the medical practitioners of Bolton, praying that no new charter might be granted to the College of Physicians till the whole question is brought before the House. Mr. PARKER presented a petition, praying that the metropolitan bridges might be opened to the public toll free. Mr. S. CRAW FORD presented a petition, signed by 1,000 of the electors of Nottingham, praying that a new writ might be issued f o r the el e ction of a Burgess for that town. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL presented a petition praying that .the metropolitan bridges might be opened to the public toll-free. Mr. S. FRENCH presented a petition from the electors of .Athlone praying for leave defend the seat. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition, agreed to at a public meeting in Sheffield, held on the 13th instant. The petitioners complained that they were interfered with while holding a public meeting. and that eight in dividuals were arrested and confined in Stafford gaol, which they consider to be a tyrannical invasion of the constitutional right to petition, and they prayed fur inquiry. All' CASTLE-UNDER-LYME ELECTION. Lord ASHLEY reported that the Committee on the petiticn complaining of an undue return for the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, had come to the following resolution :—" That J. Q. Barris, Esq., was not duly elected to serve as a burgess at the last election fur Newcastle-under-Lyme, and ought not to have been returned ; and that J. C. Colquhoun, Esq., was duly elected, and ought to have been returned." REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Leeds, numerously signed, praying for a repeal of the Legisla- tive Union. N OTICES OF MOTION-NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that he should, on Thursday next, move, in pursuance of a petition which he had presented from a number of electors, that a new writ do forthwith issue for Nottingham. JOINT-STOCK BANKING COMPANIES BILL. On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, this Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the first reading of a Bill, which had just come from the Lords, but we did not hear its title. Mr. C. BULLER wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to proceed in that House with all these Bills which were coming down from the Lords. Some of those Bflls, the County Courts Bill and the Bankruptcy Bill more particularly, were of very great importance. He wished. :o know of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, whether it was intended to proceed with such Bills as those at a time like the present, when so many Members were absent, and almost all the Members of the legal profession were out of town. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said' the Honourable Mein ber must be aware that the County Courts Bill had been discussed in various sessions of Parliament. It was the intention of Government to subinit the measures referred to to the House this present session ; and if any objection should arise, which he did not anticipate, per haps, that they would not proceed with them. Mr. W. PATTEN said he should be glad to'know when the County Courts' Bill would come on ? Mr. V. SMITH wished to know why these Bills had not come down before ? Sir J. GRAHAM said they had not come down from the Lords. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM proposed the third reading of this Bill. FIELDEN was not aware of the contents of the proposed Your-laW Bill. He trusted, therefore, they would not proceed further with the measure this evening. Mr. R. YORKE was surprised at the course that had , been pursued by the Government. He t rusted that the 1 Bill would not be proceeded with further. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'believed that all the bad clauses in the Bill were retained. ' • At the suggestion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the fur ther consideration of the Bill was postponed till the un opposed Orders" of the Day were disposed of. BRIBERY BILL. Mr. C. BULLER wished to know whether it was the intention of the GovernMent to proceed with the Bribery Bill, Sir ROBERT PEEL did not see any reason why they should not. The Customs Act Amendment Bill was read a thini time and passed. EXCHEQUER BILL. The Exchequer-bills Preparation Bill was read it third time and passed. Sir R. INGLIS wished to ask. the Right Hon. Gen tleman when they might expect. to receive the report of the Exchequer-bills Commissioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he expecteu that the Report would be on the table of the House in the course of next week. Mr: C. BULLER wished to can the attention of the Right Honourable Gentleman to an inequality in the punishments provided by this Bill. In the 10th clause the punishment provided for the forgery of ex . chhquer bills was seven yerrs transportation, or trans ' portation for life, while some other minor forgeries punished with transportation for fourteen years and upwards. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would consider the point. COLONIAL PASSENGERS BILL. • Lord STANLEY postponed the third reading of this Bill to Tuesday nee t, on which day he gave the Hon. Gontleman opposite (Mr. Hawes) notice that it would take precedence of other motions. • POOR-LAWS.` _ - On the motion for the third reading of the Poor-law Bill, Lord PALMERSTON wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he would allow him to take that opportunity relating to his intentions with regard to the vacation, Some time ago the President of the Council presented a petition to the other House of Parliament from the classes at Exerr-liall, and accompanied the presenta tion of that petition by a speech of liberality of sentiment and enlightened views, which did credit to himself and the Go , ernment to which he belonged. In the course of that speech he stated that he thought it the duty of the Go vernment to increase -the annual grant for the purpoies of education, and of course the general impression created by that sentiment was, that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, of which he was so promi nent a Member, to increase that grant by proposing an additional estimate for that purpose. The Committee of supply was drawing to a close, and he (Lord Palmer ston) would ask she Right Hon:Baronet whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose an additional grant for that purpose, he (Lord Palmer ston) at the same time would say, that if such were the case, he would give it his, full support. I . Sir ROBERT PEEL said it so happened that he was to have met the President of the Council this day on the subject, but he had not done so ; and therefore he could not undertake to give an assurance with respect to an additional grant, but he would give the Noble Lord an answer to-morrow. Mr. FIELDEN then proposed, as an amendment to the Poor-law Bill, that it be re-committed and printed. 'Mr. S. CRAWFORD wished to know if he could pro pose the amendment of which he had given notice. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IMPERiAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF CPMMOAS, July 21. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that, in rising to submit the motion to the House, of which he had given notice, he wished to explain, in the first place, the reason why his notice appeared in a different form to that which he originally gave. The original notice that he gave was to this effect, to limit the supplies to a period of three months. The object of that notice of motion was, if possible, to compel her Majesty's Ministers tore-assemble that house at the end of October next, in the event of no decisive amelioration taking place in the condition of the people, or, at all events, their wants being relieved. When going into supply, the Right Hon. Baronet wished him (Mr. T. Duncombe) to submit his motion on a dif ferent occasion, and in a different form. In compliance with the wish of the Right Hon. Baronet, he had trained his motion in the form in which it now . appeared. He should say, however, that he owed no thanks to her Majesty's Ministers for having an opportunity of bring ing the subject under the considerationof the House that evening.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon Baronet, the Member for. Kent, and four other Members of his party, were the only gentlemen on that (the Ministerial) side of the House, who were pre sent at four o'clock, although the question which he had to bring forward related to the public dis tress. He should say that the charge of delaying the public business brought against his side of the House was most unfounded, and that if there was any error'on their part, it was an error on the side of forbearance What. he would ask were - the opinions of the people out of doors, of the people of Liverpool, of Manchester, of Paisley, of Coventry, and other large towns, relative to the course which it was now the duty of their representa tives to pursue. It was the wish 0 .. f the inhabitants of these towns that their representatives should delay the course of the Government as much as possible, until the state of the country had been fully considered. He was justified, therefore in saying that if there was any error on the part of the Members on his side, it was an error on the side of forbearance. He should observe that the party now in power had of fered tenfold greater opposition to the proceedings of the late Ministry than they had .themselves experiencid since their accession to office—(Hear, hear, hear.) How many a factious motion, he would ask, had been brought forward by the Opposition in preceding sessions, and discussed night after - night ? It could not be forgotten that they brought forward a mo tion against the proposal of the late Government, rela tive to sugar, which had lasted eight nights ; and during that discussion the steadfast advocates of negro slavery had put themselves forward as the opponents of the slave trade. There had also been a vote of want of confidence brought forward by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, with which the House had been occupied for five nights, and yet great complaints had been made by the present , Ministers that the mo tion of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Greenock, had been in discussion for three nights, although that mo tion was a national motion—a motion to consider the dis tress of the people.—(Hear.) In bringing on the present motion, it was not his intention to enter into any heart rending details as to the distressed condition of the coun try ; neither would he discuss that question of the Corn laws, which had been already so frequently and so ably discussed during the present session. His chief object was to warn that House, to warn her Majesty's Govern ment, and, more particularly, to warn country gentle men, Members of that House, of the danger to which they and their properties were at the present moment exposed. He believed that if there were an evil greater than another, in the present state of the country, it aas the apathy of that House as to the sufferingi of the people. The social system was on the point of dissolu tion—the peace and property of the country were not worth twenty hours' purchase—(Hear, hear) — and yet that House was about to separate without taking any measures for the relief of the distress. At the opening of Parliament they were told in the Queen's speech that the sufferings of the people were great, and 'that their patience was exemplary. Those sufferings were greatly on the increase, and what had Parliament done to alleviate them ? His Hon. Friend, the Member for Greenock, brought fora ard a motion on the subject, and the Ministers quibbled and special-pleaded upon the terms of the motion; and when he (Mr. Wallace) pro posed to alter the wording to suit their.taste, they would make no advance to meet him. His Hon. Friend, the Member for Wolverhampton, brought forward the question of the Corn-Tan s, and was defeated by' a large majority. What had the Government done? Absolutely nothing.—(Hear.) Why, when they were told last year of the distress that then existed, and of the certainty that it would increase, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that the best remedy was to leave tbines as they were.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The whole of the distress was owing to the party to , which the Right Hon. Baronet opposite belonged the party called Tories—(Hear, and a laugh)—and if they had allowed the late Government to adopt liberal measures, a great deal of the present distress would have been prevented. But now, when the representatives of the manufacturing districts returned to their homes, and w ere surrounded by the victims of the Right Hon. Baronet's legislation, w hat consolation, what hopes, could they give ? (Hear, hear.) He knew well that the agricultural Members had a good answer to give their constituents when they went back to them. They would say that they had passed the Corn Bill, which, as the Hon. Member for Berkshire told his constituents, it would be a delusion to suppose would diminish the protec.. tion to the agricultural interest, but would, on the e on - Limey, perpetuate that injustice and extortion. They would go back, and they might, perhaps, be thanked by their constituents for their services, because they had done nothing to alleviate the distress of the people, ' He wanted to know from each of the Cabinet Ministers what was the remedy they proposed ? He wondered whether the Hon. Member for Kent's remedy was the Poor-law which he vilified so much last year. What was the remedy of the Secretary of - State for the Home Department ? Was 'it in the rural police, or would he call out the yeomanry, or did he. rely upon a posse of Magistrates ? Be did not see the Secretary of War in his place ; what would his remedy be ? Would he silence the people at the point of the bayonet, and drown their cries in the roar of artillery ? The Chan cellor of the Exchequer would, in all probability, leave things alone. They knew what were the remedies which had been proposed by the First Lord of the Treasury. Ile had given them his trumpery Corn Bill, the Income tax, and the Tai iff. W lim% as the consequence of the Income-tax ? Already was the country rife with com plaints against the Commissioners, ho were going about like locusts. '1 he filthy creatures were at their dirty work. The Tariff did not cheapen the articles of great consumption. Sugar and timber were left untouched. The Member for the University of Oxford had been promised Church Extension as a remedy for the starvation of the people He wished the demands of the people might be seceded to with equal readiness. An early and abund ant harvest was looked fore and to, as if that would per manently relieve the distress of the people. He supposed, too, they should have another Queen's Speech again shortly, praising again the measurt s that had been passed, and the tribute of the Right Eon. Baronet to the ford , tude of the people might be rt.rit;a ed. But 1w believed that the fortitude and peaceable demettneueof the people could not be attributed altogether to their disposition, but to the hope that something effectual would be done for them—a hope n bleb the recent votes of ParHamm Ivould go far to disappoint. He had heard, and heard with much concern, the Hon. Member for Nottinghamsh it declare that these discussions were very inconvenient, as they led the people to think that they were, worse ofr than they were. This was not possible. He read an ~ extract from Mr. Holland Hoole, the boroughreeve of Salford, delivered at the Cern-law'Conference, express lug his apprehension of a popular outbreak if something - were not dune to relieve the distresses of the people. Ai , Bilston the people had already commenced to pillage the bakers' shops, and was this to continue through all the %%inter ? The Hon. Member for Oldham had slated, tha , ttithin the last / 18 months he had paid for labour 50,0006 more than that labour was worth. Why should he be culled on to make this sacrifice for the . landed interest?—what sacrifice were they making for the manufacturers? He quoted an extract from the Mnrh-lone Express 'of Monday last, showing the until vourahle effect of the late weather on the prospects of harve.st, afid doubting whether an average produce will be secured. It this paper was to be helieveo, there was an end of that early and abundant harvest. But even if it were so, they could not ship off one additional cargo Of their manufactured goods; then let them not trust to this prospect, He conteeded that the motion was fonded on constitutional principles and in common humanity, and he implored Honourable Gentlemen to pause before they voted against it. It' the measures of the Right Honourable Gentlemen should have a fair trial and fail, they would then, by voting for this motion, have the satisfaction of having done their best to relieve the distresses of these to whom they were in debted for every atom of property they possessed. He concluded by moving the resolution of vi hich be had given notice :—" To move an humble address to her Majesty, to represent to her Majesty that the distress in the manufacturing districts. to which her Majesty was pleased to allude in her Majesty's most gracious speech at the commencement of the present session, ' as having been borne with exemplary patience and tbrtitude,' con tinues unabated ; and that the sufferings and privations resulting therefrom, are rapidly extending from the working to the middle classes of society; that none of the measures hitherto proposed by her Majesty's Government [ to Parliament, however just the principles upon which some of them have been founded, appear adequate to afford a timely and sufficient remedy for these great and press ing evils ; and that her Majesty's Government cannot, without the aid of Parliament, take such further steps as may .be necessary for that purpose ; and farther ' to represent to her Majesty an anxious hope, that if, after the termination of the present session, ne decisive improvement should take place in the condition of her Majesty's suffering and loyal subjects, her Ma jesty may be pleased, again, at an early period, to call Parliament together, with a view of giving fuller effect to those sound principles of commerce, which, if fairly imd,impartially carrie. out, more especially as regards the food of the people, would, by giving an impulse to trade and industry, avert those calamities which the in clemency of winter, superadded to want and destitution, must inevitably produce." Mr. WARD seconded the resolution. There was never, be said, a motion made in that House to which he gave a more cordial concurrence. He believed it we° ' perfectly constitutional and politic, and .if it were not agreed to now, he was convinced that the Parliament would be called together in the autumn to carry into effect the only practical remedy that could be applied to the evils they laboured under. Hon. Gentlemen oppfr site had already given up the present Corn-laws in their minds—they must be prepared for their repeal. They' only clung to them as a sort of respite, but the capital. punishment they could not avoid. The principles of the present Government were all he could desire as a free trader; the only failure was when they came to be carried out into detail. Thus, when they asserted good free trade principles with regard to foreign meat, it was only under the assurance that no beef at all could come in to the injury of the British agriculturist. St last night, when they were discussing the question 0 bonded corn, it was shown that the quantity of cora affected was so miserably small that it could have no effect whatever on the corn of the home grower. lie did sincerely, trust that the Government would act up to itsprinciples and call the Parliament together in the [ autumn, so as to provide the only remedy that could b° effectual. He wanted to change the semblance into something suLstantial.—(Hear, hear.) As a Member for a suffering town, he wished to bring particular facts before the House. A memorial was presented 'to the Right Hon. Baronet from Sheffield, which informed hit° that the heads of 1,500 families were unable to find work. The rateable property of the place was almost exhausted by the drains made upon it.-(Hear, hear.) They were waiting for a revived trade , but it did not come, arid the greateit:! alarm was felt for the coming winter. The town of Sheffield illustrated, in an especial manner, the evil working 0( the Corn-law. He need not tell the Right Hon. Barone t what effect the repeal of the Corn-laws would have. li e was told by one of the Anti-Corn-law delegates that b e was ready to put on 500 new hands himself if the Cora: laws were repealed. He did net speak on this questi o 7., as a party man, but as an Englishman. It was thi_els trade, and the industry and ingenuity of Englishmen, toL made England what it was, but by their present syss : they .were doing every thine . to ruin it. The mid 4 " o , man, and the working man, were both suffering frond rige operation of the present system. What was the lan eft of an industrious working man on the subject, in a t',; r to him ? (The Hon. Gentleman then read the letter of Sh e which stated, that the state of the town ,,, field was in a far worse condition than f ,",;, - represented by him (Mr. Ward) in the House of `'„, o "; mons. There were 3,000 houses untenanted in Shetnetu. —(Hear, hear.) The letter then went on to detail par ticular cases of misery in the town.) What, then, eon tinned the lion. Gentleman must be the feelings of th e peoplei n such a state of things ? With what feelings could they look upon that House, if they did not take_ means to provide relief for the people ? Such a state of Y: , things he looked upon with alarm and with sympath He therefore supported the motion of his Hon. rieno as affording to the people the only prospect of sulstair tial relief in the coming winter.—(Cheers.) The motion having been put, Mr. D'ISRAELI said he thought the House might 0 well vote a want of confidence in the present Ministry nt once, as not to leave to them the discretion to call Par ment together if they thought it necessary.—(l l ea r.) The present motion was substantially the same: as ths.', which was brought forward a short time since. Ile iw mitted the distress of the country, and he did not see any likelihood of its decreasing. The lion. Member for Sheffield had attributed it to the Corn-law. But he be lieved it was not owing to any single cause. Many c auseg contributed to that distress. He did not think it was owing to the stoppage of the trade with America, but h i e, thought it was in consequence of the settlement whic h took place after the late war, and which was an and commercial settlement as far as England was concerned' From 1831 to 1841 they (the Opposition) pursued f• course of commercial policy to which in his (Mr: D'lsraeli's) opinion, the present distress, was, in a gre" measure to be attributed. When they remembered that during these ton years six commercial treaties had been signed but not ratified, that two treaties had been ratified but had entirely failed, and when they remembered th° hostile tariffs that had been framed, he thought the&e were considerations sufficient alone to convince' the House, that the distress was not owil 3 K to agricultural impolicy. He thought it woo la have been very desirable if they could have formed, a treaty of commerce with the south of Ger Many France, which would, in a great measure, hal done away with the German Union ; and he did blame the Noble Lord that he had not entered int o these treaties, because they had thereby lost these nial:; km. The treaty with France would have admitted All Sheffield, even at a very low rate of duty ; the woollens of Bradford, and all kinds of linen and linen yarn, at very low rate—in no case exceeding 10 per cent. By that treaty English manufactures, to the amount of betwt 9,000,0001. and 10,000,000/. sterling annually might ha" been exported to:France. This was no treaty in nubibto; the ink was wet in the pen of the French Ambassador ,. ready to sign it ; the Noble Lord was pressed to sign iG by the French Minister and the French Ambassado r ,. 0 but he did not do so. They had lost six commer ciP treaties, ,which he calculated would have produced IL° ' 4 interchange:of 18 ; 000,000/. sterling. When the Neil l° Y 4 Lord found that he had lest all, he endeavoured to I'o o ' 1 a treaty with Austria, by which they "ere to enjoy th e 0 commerce of the Black Sea; and yet, notwithstandal that treaty bad been ratified, the first Austrian v eSSI " that arrived in England was sequestrated. This treat! failed, and so did the treaty which the Noble Lord st; tempted with Turkey. He (Mr. D'lsraeli) had look i p around him for the cause of distress, and he must 50 1 that he could only attribute it to the anti•commereis, ' policy which had been foiLowed out by the Noble L ora ' He did not believe that diStreSs could be relieved by t he repeal of the Corn-laws, or any isolated measure. P i. : - did not believe the distress to be transitory, and •• thought the only remedy would be a recurrence to the t ;i principles of commercial policy under whic:: they ha w formerly flourished. He should vote against the ID" t h ' ° , -- r of the Hon. Member for Finsbury-, believing that ",;-, Majesty's Government would, during the recess, give 1 ": 44 ;'' , / important subject their most earnest consideration. Mr. EWART thought he might congratulate gen t l i 4l; t'f,/ men on his side of the House in having gained an all): „ e the person of the Hon. Member who had just sat d ° h e were it not that he was at such dreadful issue with t" late Foreign Minister; and he (Mr. Ewart) feared the° would be no way of settling that difference but by 1: 0 " pointing the Hon. Gentleman to the situation which '- : 1g Noble Lord had recently filled.—(Great laughter. ) H Friend the Member for Sheffield had done his duty in representing the distress which existed in that towil± but he (Mr. Ewart) could inform the House that it poi not in Sheffield alone that distress existed. In Liverr w . the poor-rates had risen to a frightful extent, the she); ping interest bad suffered immensely, and emigrate of to the United States—nut of the poor and needy, bat mess of substance—was going on to a greater extent tha r was evcrknown before at this time of they ear. SetnePe'riel were apt to say, "let us have an abundant hervest, a it will be all right." Were the destinies of this gr eat, empire to depend upon the weather ? Was the Minister co; a great nation to let the barometer alone decide sto tb prosperity or the suffering of the country 7 lion. 3\ l €_ bers opposite had it in their power to render/s innact. pendent of the harvest, by allowingiii foreign corn ; yet they insultingly refused to do sa- the allusion to what the Right Hon. Baronet had state other day, to the deputation which had waited upon him bet be (Mr. Ewart) would admit that our exports had f the increased, but that was owing to the depr( ciation,o_ving, the imPot io home market, in consequence of the people not n s employment.
