As for the question 'of a free tradei he must say, that however he might agree to the principle, it -was, soinvolvedinto other rPnsiderai ions, that it must be agreed to with many ! I '')difications. *lite had lived so long under a pro tectiog system, that if it came to be altered', every 11 "t1vidual with all its relations to other I) rduches, must b e exam i ne d i n t o an d fu lly dis-, ll ssed. On one of the most important parts of this :Ystein, the China trade, he was in favotir of en 'rging the .freedom granted on renewing 'the Charter. This he conceived would addmuch to the Prosperity Of the country. There was one thing ~4 ' ,1 )4,1 t perhaps deserved their Lordships' coo - "derati on; as tending to increase the , distress from a deficiency in consumption this tl4 B th e change of,bands which had taken place ") respect to 'capital: It rarely' 4pp'eued that i t : en horn to wealth were miserly ; They-were ra laef prottise and expensive.

This had great effect Upon the prices of commodities ? 141 ' 1 , upon the ep.cournement of industry. -But men would soon learn to enjoy what they had ! r equired, and matters would soon again return to 'heir old course. As for the general state of the t owty, it was incontestible that our produce, /he only. rule for calculation, was greater now n''' l l it was twenty years ago ; and, from this he t'llight safely inter that, if called upon, we were C inable of makin , a greater effort at the present Petind th an we weie at any former era. The di3- tribtnion of property was not so good, hut the Nntno n stock was aoginented. He had no doubt th al an increased dcm4nd would speedily ensue, 610 .conchided by expressing his approbation of th e motion - , and of the-speech of the Noble . Earl, ‘‘Phich wool(' be consolatory and advantageous to I lie mint rv. Led ELLENBOitoUGIA' also animadverted upon llh ow of t h e 1 . 01)4:s -slimed in this discussion.

Th e N o bl e Lord then alluded to the - :""r Laws, which he said must either he destroy s'', ''r they would - soon destroy the nation. He I ti'ed with the Noble Lord who had just spoken, 1 , 44 1 tl. e C ountry was r i c h er now than it was before itl e war ; so were France and Germany.

Those who witnessed the manner in which a great proportion of the Sunday Press was conducted could not but acknowledge that it led to great abuse'. though feeling thiS, nnt pledge himself to the Petitioners that he would bring forward any measure on the subject. The Petition was then read. It stated, that many of the dealers in newspapers, -whose names were signed to the Petition, were obliged to sa crifice a great deal of . their busir►ess from a reluc tance to, vend papers on the Sabbath-day ; that others, whose circutnstances would not allow of such a sacrifice, were driven to the practice in their own defence . , hitt ivith witch regret ; that it was highly injurious ro, public morals, and incon sistent with the reverence due to the Lord's-day, :n employ so, many printers and distributers of newspapers, as were now necessarily, employed on that day, in consequence of tl►e great number of such papers. . Mr. LAMBTON said, lie would . not oppose the bringing -up,of the petition, but he telt It his duty at the same time to declare that lie heard such hypocritical cant with the utmost disgust. The great miji wily of Sunday. Newspapers were con ducted in a way calculated to afford moral, as well as political information. How could the circula tion of them produce sue]) mischievous effects as those complained of ?: If„ the petitioners endea voured to mend their Own lives, it would be much better than to cast, in this manner, such severe reflections on the lives of others.

NEWINGTON-CHURCH BILL. - Mr. DENNISON presented ns, signed by nearly 3,000 of the Parishioners of St. Mary, Newington, in which they prayed to be heard by Counsel against ine bill now-in progress for build ing -a new c'hurch in that parish.—Laid on the table. Mr. SUMNER moved the second reading of the'Bill for erecting a new church in the parish of St. nary, Newington. D-ittcNisoN opposed this Motion. Ile stated his objections at length, but the principal ground of his opposition rested on the circumstance, that the Petition in favour of the erection of a new church was signed by only 36 individuals, while to the Petition against it were attached the signa tures of nearly 3,000 of the inhabitants at the parish. It Was admitted, that some inconvenience was felt on account of the disproportion of the pittish to the capacity of the only two churches its precincts ; hut that inconvenience might be got rid of by instituting a third evening service, and the parishioners were willing IA pay a clergyman for reading th e extra s er vi ce o ut o f their own pockets. He concluded with moving an amendment, that instead of " now," the Bill be read a second time this day six months.' - Mr. H.. SUMMER suppartt-d the original motion. The parish contained 30,000 intoibitants aod the church, which was at its extremity, was stated by one party to be capable of accommodating 2,000 persons, and by another, 2,400 Of those who might thus he accommodated, he was instructed • to say that 400 or 500 were charity children, who were placed qUite near the root, in a situation to which adults would-not go. There were then 27,000 or 28,000 persons, members of the Church of England, who had no mewls of attend ing Divine ‘Vorship. The Hon. Member had stated that the 58th of his late Majesty required the consent of a majority of the parishioners before application could be made for building a new church. But the 59th of his late Majesty had repealed that provision, and enacted that the approbation of 1-311 of the parishoners should be sufficient. He knew there were other places of woi ship near the parish, but they brlonged to particular charities. As to the vestries that had been held, they were, he was sorry to say, con . - ducted in a manner that did not, reflect credit on the parties connected with them. Greater dis order or impropriety (he would not use a harsher term) had never been witnessed within the wall 4 of a chnrch. Those wholidvocated the measure wete, put down by noise and clamour; and the lament able result of this opposition was, that the lower class of the inhabitants were incited against their worthy pastor, and were induced to consider him as a person who wished to inflict a great evil on theta. He believed that the whole expence-would not exceed 15,0001., and a sixpenny rate would defray it in 10 years. The money would be found for them; and - they could pay the interest and a potion of the principal every year. Mr. DENNISON and Mr. 11. SUMNER mutually explained. Sir R. Wasoig 3upported the amendment. He declared, that he considered this measure not only as an extraordinary hardship upon the parish, bin as a violation of the late Act of Parliament for the building of clihrehes, in which it was declared, that no new church could be erected in any parish unless the same cvas resolved out by a majwity'of the-inhabitants in vestry , assembled. '• Mr. liollywr PEEL, holding the situation of one of the Commissioners tinder the Church Building Act, and knowing several. Gentlemen of respecta bility in that parish, bad made some inquities on the subject, and the result Was conviction on his mind that no case called more strongly for the interference of Parliament, at least to the eNteni of authotising further inquiry. i t appeared that in a parisit ,comistipg of 30,000 persons, there was only accommodation for 2000' persons. This Was a•strong• ease, and xvlien he st:ttied . that"ot the number nuntieaccommodated 600 childreu belonging to, Charity ,and,Nation who occupied places which could not given to adults, - and-That:2oo perSOus.CoUld. -be gra-.

The House, on the motion of Mr. TYNES,- pro ceeded to the Order of the Day fot pi oce;-dfng the adjourned debate on .the Aldboroigh.Election Petition. Mr. P , Mootte presented a petition froM Charles' \Vm.

Ater some disctis!4ion., the motion that had been made on the receding olav was put and curried.—, It was to the Jolokving effect : " That iqr, Aoti•ohns, lately teturued for the Borough of; Altlborough, h e allowed to de - liver in a list of the estates to prove his tralitii!atlini." BOROUGH OF BOSTON. The House next'restimed - rive adjourned debate on Mr. COU'II'TENAY'S motion to postpone, from the 6th of June to the 18th of July, the Petition against the repo.° of Alr. Ellis. ' Sir R. HERON 'objected to the tirne being en larged; to 'grant theTrayer of-the Petition would be uselessl since, it time was given s 3 letpired, Mr. Ellis could never take his seat.

After sonic observations on the part of Mr., BATHURST, Mr. BROUGHAM, and Lord CASTLE.. REAGH, the order, was discharged, and then fixed' tor . tbe 18th of July. _ INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Lord Arruoar moved tlfe second reading of the Insolvent Debtors' Bill. No doubts, he observed, could be entertained as to the principle of the WI, that the Debtor was entitled to his liberty upon giving-ufi his property to his. Creditor. Mauy objections had been made to the former law ; the principal of which was, that the Court had not sufficient powers to examine into the state of the Debtor's property, as the examination took place in open Court. Another objection *as', that the Debtor often remained in prison till he had spent his property, and then took the benefit Of 'the Act ; but by the present Bill the petition of the Debtor Was , to be presented With in fourteen days, after which he Was to have no contrail over the property.' As objections it:ad been made to the Agents of the Court as not pro perly qualified, the prese'nt Bill event to enact; that th e Court should nominate the Attornies f or the Debtors,_ without interfering with those of the Creditor. By the present Bill, the Creditor could comp'el the surrender of all'the'pt o perty; and 'sho u ld an y p r operty devolve to the'Debtoi. after his insolvency, he could stop it in its pro gress. The Bill proposed the appointment of three ComOrissioners instead of one; and that' he thought' preferable to the • 'appointinent of EMI , . miners, as in commissions of bankruptcy. Mr. MACDONALD objected to that part of the Bill that went to appoint three'COmmissioners . in place of one. By the appointment of two Exa miners, the object could beequally well attained, and at less ' expence ; and lie should move an amendment to that effect in - the Corrimittee. A Memsaa stated, that thougtc he should not oppose the second reading, he thought one Judge sufficient. 14RIGHT conceived adistinetion ought to be made betwixt the honest 'and the frAudident debtor. it would also be •of advantage if the Court had the power of summoning a Jury in cases of difficulty. No exception should made, as was done by the Bill, against the debtors of the Crown, Ste. After a few words from . Sir F. OmmANEY, and Mr. LITTLETOisIi Lord ALTHORP, in reply, stated, that the ex ception in the case of Crown Debtors had.ori ginated with the Attorney-General ; and he bad acceded for fear of losing-the Bill. The stnnmon ing of a Jury would-be attended with expence, and the Judges would be anxious - to relieye th.emt:eives from responsibility by calling in the aid of a Jury. The Bill was then read a second time, akd com mitted for Wednesday, ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. • The CHANCELLOR'of the EXCHEQUER • said; aS - Par= liament never sat on the Anniversary of the Restoratrop, he 5110ffitt fIOW Iti.Ve that on its rising the House should adjourn till Trrestlay.--Thé motion' was.agreed to.. • Lord MiLTON presented pine Petitions from different places in the•Conrity of York, praying for the Repeal of the' Tax on the Importation of Foreign Wool. , • • Mr. D. onaniur preSented a Petition from the Proprre- - tors of .

DUTY ON FOREIGN WOOL. Lord MILTON, pil,rttiatit Co - notice, rose to move t h e revea l of Lin 'fox o❑ she importation of yool from abroad. From the importance of the subje c t to his constituents, be cnnld not dedine the duty they had imposed upon him. Bret he was at the same time convinced that his opinions as to - the impolicy of the tax.would have been ehe same nit( ever his constituents bad been. These opinions were foande ed 'on the soundest principles of political eco nomy, as applied to the particular question. The duty upon cotton and raw silk was no argument in favour of that on wool. It bad always been the policy of this cottony to import the raw material of its manufactures at:as cheap a rate as.possible. On the subject of this tax it had been said, that it would protect the agriculturist, and add to the revenue. Butt those views were incoMpatilie with each. other ; and he was confident that the tax would be given up, if inoperatke as a means of revenue. A great deficiency had taken place in the importation of-wool: In the eight aioroba preceding the imposition the duty, the importa tion had beenll,4'4,ooo lbs. and in the 4 months after the laying on "of the drty, it had only been 231,000. A diminution of -are woollen toiroutac tore had taken place in all parts of the kingdom. The quantity of broad cloth nriiled.last year in the West Riding of Vol kshire had been somewhat less than 7,000,000, yards, the same quantity that had been milled in 1794, thongh the ppyttl I 91). of the country had sointleh increased since that period ; and that decrease was to be aset ibed to the falling off of the foreign trade. The do cuments at the Custom-house, were no proof 'of the real st;rte of the trade of the country. l i no,- count! ies court, exhort only the raw material; such as Poland, Norway, arid Sweden : hot it was necessary that Eng land should increase in wealth, to support atm load of taxation. The value of the Wool when matfufactured was quadruple, or quintuple that of the raw material. At the eeaminatiori I4st winter, before the Privy Cooocil, it appeared. that in the trade in woollen cloth to America the advantage to England over the Flemish and the French ma nufacture was 71. : per cent , bring nearly as 02i to 100; but by toe new duty that ladvanrage bad been ieduced to 97 or 98 no 100. It was plain, then, that a risk had beet; incurred of losing die trade to America, which was of _so much iMport anceio this Cottony. In other parts of the world the British manufacturer was hard rout by the manufactu'rers of the Continent. Great distress prevailed in the Manufacturing Districts, and in the town of Sheffield the Poor Rates bad been doubled since the last year. He s1)(7,11t1 trove tor leave to bring in a to repeal th . e - Tax*, the :grininil that it was neither a protyction to Agri. culture, nor an addi:inn io the Revenue, and was adverse to the acconittlation of capital. Mr. T. WILSON s,!conded the :notion. - He de clared it as his opinion, that - unless . there was a reduction of nine or ten rr cent. in the price of our woollen miAnufactnre, we should be cut out of the fOreign markets. lie offered his best thanks to the Noble Lord (Or the vei y able and zealoui manner in which he had.athocated the cause. Mr. WESTERN could not concur in much of what bad falle n from. his Noble Fri end, One consequence of, the. duty had been, that the Ictig of Spain had taken off the duty on the exportation of Spanish Wool. Should the importation of Fo reign Wool heincieased, the growth of Britidt would be, proportiotiably diminished. In the eight months before the new duty, the importation had amounted to 36,000,000 lbs., and that had caused thy s a hsequen t deo ease The CHANCELLOR of the E %CHEQ.UER observed, that the question, was not to be looked at from the number and respectability of the petitioners. The tix as yet had had to fair trial, nor could the principles of poliiical economy be applied to ati article kinder a double n,onopoly. Belot e the late war,. the quantity of Wool itriported in 1790 and 91, had been 2,500,000 . Ibi. ; and previou's to 1014, had never"' exceeded 10,000,000 After the PeaCe of Paris, it rose to 15,000,000 lbs. ; and in 18.18 the quantity imported amounted to 26,000,000 lbs. In . 1790 and 91, the value of :British Wool ' exported, had been 4,500,000/.; and in 1818 and 19, had only amounted to 6,500,0001.. It was - plain, that the goreign Wool interfered with, the sale of the 'Britidi. The fine IVOOI, 7 which was two-thirds of the whole, was imported froM Spain and Saxony, and nearly paid 'the whole of the duty... For the, last few years the. average import had been. 19,000,000 lbs. A ,revenue of 250,0001. was to be . made good, and that' hail been hitherto pre vented by the glut of the matket. The long wool of this country could not be rivalled by that of any other, and short wool front abroad was mixed with it, which had only been imported within the last few years, and would be little affected by the duty. Should the British wool Grower be ruined by a wear importation of foreign wool, the manufac turer would soon be involved in the same fate. The growth of British wool, .which in ABOO bad been. 140,000,000 lbs., was at the present 160,000,000. The export of wool had not de cieased more than that of other articles.(.Hear, from the Opposition !)—and that was in a great degree owing to the - cessation of. exports to Ame rica. In consequence of a return to cash 'payments : in that country, the circulating medium hail been diminished fromllo,ooo,ooo dollars,to45,000,000; and that had affected every branch of her trade. Buff tlfe'cOmmereitil spirit of America would soon revive, and with that the trade . of this country.—,z The manufacturers of, France and, the Continent were as much distrcssedoas our own. With the views he entertainetl, he must oppose the 'no tion, and propose the..previous question. Mr. S. WORTLEiY stated, that ssisisin the last two years a great change for the worse had taken plaee in . the appearance of the • prole in :York shire. The distress of the matiutacturcrs had beeir proved by facts ; and though i .be was in the habit of supporting Government, he omit say the tak was a cruel blow inflicted on a Stiffering peoa . ple: All the manufacturers were of Opinion, that the was most fatal. . HusxissoN thought, that if we proposed the moflopOly of Bri‘its . h which others were unable to compete with, there was no fear of. our being driven from _the foreign markets. He denied it was entirely a new principle to place a tax on raw ptothice; and in support of his assertion he' would instance the tax 'placed out cotton, on dm her, on,iton,. on. oil, all of Which, were, raw ma terials. The depression its the rivolira tracie Wt;s
