If the difficulties were so great already, why not do their best to tvhnit food and provisions free into the country ? He should like to hear how the Right Hon. Gentleman ascertained that 20s. ought to be the duty on an ox, and Bs. on salted meat. He would not throw any obstacle in the way of these reforms, but he must say that he did not anticipate . that trade and manufactures would he revived by . the tariff of the Right Hon. Baronet. There was as earnest a desire to obtain a greater measure of commer cial freedom, as there was before his tariff was introduced. Mr. R. PALMER said, if there was anything calcu lated to alarm the agricultural interest, it was the speech of the Hon. Gentleman, and the manner in which it was received. The Hon. Gentleman had alluded to the effects of the Corn-law League ; but he was mistaken if he supposed the agriculturists were to be intimidated in that manner by threats. With respect to the proposition of hii lion. Friend, he should support it. Mr. WARD said that the Hon. Member for Berk shire had correctly described this motion. It was a covert attempt to carry out the motion which the House had last night rejected by an overwhelming majority. If there were no parties to this question but Hon. Gentlemen opposite and their constituents on one side, and the Government on the other, then a compromise might be admissible ; but there was a much larger body more deeply interested in the question than either of them, and that was the great mass -of the consumers of the country.—(Cheers.) He had listened with great delight to the speech of the First Lord of the Treasury repelling this insidi.Sus pro position.—(Cheers.) If he (Mr. Ward) had any complaint to make against the tariff, it was that it did not go far eteeag:h. When Honourable Members spoke of their constituents, he thought they had higher duties to perform than to attend to the mere local inte rests of the different fractions which had sent them there. They had a duty to perform to the country at large, and it was their duty to break through the fetters of local interests.—(Cheers.) He would place himself at the disposal of Government—(Cheers and laughter)— on the question of the tariff, whenever the general interest should be attempted to be neutralized by some particular interest.—(Loud cheers.) If his Hon. Friends near him should move for protection to Irish pigs or Scotch cattle, he would give them every opposition in his power. He did not wish to appeal to the fears of the agricultural interest, nor had his Hon. Friend behind meant to do:so, and he did not believe that more alarm could be created by that speech, than would have been if last year the in tention of the Government had been fairly an nounced to the country.—(Hear and cheers.) He considered that what had been done was only valuable as an approximation towards what ought to be done —(Cheers.) The tariff was valuable in itself, but he at taelled much greater value to the speeches of its sup porters. If they would read corn for cattle throughout the speech of the Right,Hon. Gentleman the Vice-Presi dent of the Board of Trade last evening, the Right Hon. Gentleman would be very much puzzled to give anything like a decent answer to his own argumen t ; an d w he n the - Corn-law should next year come under discussion, that speech, no doubt, would be referred to.—(Cheers.) They had tried the system of factitious protection long .enough. * They had long tried the system of propping up one interest at the expense of another. He would give his support to such parte of the tariff as he could approve of. 'Mr. BUCK said that when the Right Hon: Baronet bad brought for Ward his scale of protective duties on corn he (Mr. Buck gave it his support, and assigned his reasons for` so doing ;. and when the Right Hon: Baronet had brought forward his measure for an Income-tax, from the clear • and lucid statements which the Right Hon. Gentleman made, he (Mr. Buck) considered it incum bent on him to give his support to that measure, because it seemed to him necessary to rescue the country from the difficulties and embarrassments under which it la boured, and it was now with extreme regret that he felt himself called on to oppose the proposal of the Right Hon. Baronet. He would not venture to say that he never knew the alarm so great as it was when the new tariff was proposed. -If that were so, then it would not be changed by either the speech of the ; Right Hon. Baronet or that of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade last night. When the agriculturists reflected on the immense capabilities of the Continent, 'they could not but feel the greatest alarm. He sympathised with the labouring population in the manufacturing districts, but he approved of their laudable resistance to the Anti-Corn-law League.— (Laughter.) For they felt that their (the Anti-Corn law League's) proceedings would be the means of reducing .their wages still further. The Right Hon. Baronet said that this measure would reduce the poor-rates through out the country. He (Mr. Buck) hoped to God it would, but . he very much doubted it. It was not his intention now to go further into the present subject, because he felt that the speech of his Friend, the Member for So merset, was so conclusive on the subject, as to render it unnecessary for him to do so. He would however say, that a free trade in cattle were agreed to, those who assented to it would soon have cause to regret it. He b e lieved that the present proposition was inimical to the interest he represented, and he should, therefore, oppose it in every , way he was able. Mr. 0. STANLEY considered, after the division of lasi night, it was of no use longer to oppose this part of the measure. As strong as the agricultural interest with the country was, it could have no effect against the com bined forces of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Hon. Member for Brecon (Colonel Wood) had told them that Ole markets, in the county which he represented, had of late recovered from the panic created by the announce ,ineitt of the tariff ; but lie (Mr. 0. Stanley) could testify that tfpat was not the case in the county with which he was eo ifuected. The depression of prices which had f o ll owe d t i, , lre from the announcement of the Government wo nld, he believed, continue hereafter. COlonel W(01) said, that what lie had always stated was; that he should „not have supported the Corn-laws, unless he thought that they were no less beneficial to the manufacturing than to the agricultural classes, and he was still ready to adhere to that statement. Mr. V[LLIERS said, that the Hon. Member should have told the House whether he found any parties Co believe that the Corn-laws were no less beneficial to the manufacturer than to the agriculturist. The Hon. Gentle man had told them that they were legislating for a class. Had he seen the proposal for reducing the duty on cattle, sapported by those whose incomes were in creased. by the privations of the people, he should have • Observed the same economy* of the time of the House, and not have moved the amendment to the proposition which he now intended to propose. The full extent of the privation of the people had not been stated ; it was not merely a small portion of the people, but millions, -who were deprived of the use of animal food. He had g . t. , t a statement of a Commissioner appointed by the • C rown —(ol4, oh)—if Hon. Gentlemen wanted to dine, he could assure them that it was only what those he al luded to wanted to do also. It was the statement of Dr. Kay, who was sent into Norfolk and Suffolk to inquire into the state of the poor. He stated that a man, his -wife, and four children, cost on-an average 501. a year ; • the wages of the same family, if employed, was only 351. a, year. If this were correct, the agricultural ' labourer or ' Suffolk was on little better than half diet. Ile said the door-1w Inquiry and successive Parlia mentary Comniittees had shown that the families of the agricultural labourers had an inadequate supply of J)read. He said that in half a year 63 individuals had skied of starvation, being one in a population of 100,000. Tthe want of food implied the want of everything elie, and'. hunger caused more deaths than were registered, b e e.tuse its effects were chiefly manifested in diseasea , of va rious kinds. Such was the aspect of things in this co in:try. Now, what was the state of the manufactur ing district's in s.cotland ? It appeared, by a recent ac count from the town and county of Stirling, that a man was detected in stealing potatoes. He was taken by the policeman, in company with the owner of the potatoes, to the place where f:e lived, and it was found that he • had an aged moth er and two sisters depending upon him for support. There' was a pot on the fire, and on the lid being raised it was found to contain a dead dog, which Was boiling for the fax:ally. An /lox. ox. as k e d w ,kx they had not applied to the ioor-house ? Mr. VILLIERS said the circumstance occurred in Scotland. In that country there ware no Poor-laws. — (Hear, hear.) He believed that the people were much worse off now than they were four hundred years ago. 'ln an account, quoted by William Cobbett, from For tescue,.the Chancellor of Henry the Si;:th, it was stated that the people at that time had an abundant supply of - all sorts of flesh and fish, and that they were well clothed and well provided with household goods. That was before the new Poor-law.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the people were not nearly so well off•now as in any previous • period of our history. To,show the state of feeling to wards the people in the time of Henry VIII. he would - read to them the preamble of an Act passed in that reign. After saying, that whereas previously meat had been sold at a cheap price, so that poor persons might obtain enough from the proceeds of their labour for them selves and families, it continued that then mutton, veal, and pork were sold at so high a rate that the subjects of this realm could not get enough for Their subsistence ; it provided then that butchers and graziers should provide the people with meat and corn at a cheap rate. In 1666, and this was worthy the atten tion of Irish Members who were desirous of upholding the present system of prohibition in order to raise their rents, an Act was passed prohibiting the importation of all live cattle into England from Ireland, with the idea that such a measure would raise the rents in England. He found, however, one Roger Coke, in 1690, writing that the effect had been to lower rather than raise the rents. See the effect that dear food had upon crime. From returns he had in his hand of the amount of crimi nals imprisoned during the last five years, it appeared that in 1836, they were 20,000 ; in 1837, 23,000 ; in 1838, 24,000 ; in 1839,27,000 ; and in 1840, 30,000 ; and the price of food had been gradually riding . during each of those years. Since the year 1837 pauperism also hadlncreased 25 per cent., notwithstanding . the opera tion of the new Poor-laW ; nal there could be no doubt that when food was dear„wor-rates were also high. The Right Hon. Baronet said, when proposing his new tariff, that the mere rumour of an alteration had lowered the contracts which certain persons had with some unions 20 per cent,, and that he (Nlr. V.) thought was a proof that by that means the: poor-rates were lowered by re duction in the. price Of food, and that they were raised by a riSP , the pri ee 'of food.—(Cries of " Question, clues lion,' and .. Di v id e :") He would not detain the House ong. If Hon. Gentl. , trden wished to hive their dinner, he was sorry to keep' them, and he wished that they would show the same merry- to those whose cause he ad vocated.—(Hear, hear,). _lie said they had not shown that this alteration wonleC do any good' to the people. The present privations of the neople showed what they had suffered hitherto, and 13. e thought they ought at least to indemnify them for wha. they had suffered. by mak ing a generous and free cha age in their system, and do not let them have anything to. do with the Q ueen's begg ing 'letter. He considered th sit this tax was not for the good of the Country—not for the sake of the revenue , b u t e r a e n n d ts . thatof l a wasnl solely.for the purpose . of .1 mprc. vin 'The raital of this country w: t. 77,100g,00th07., a large margin to operate u .poi. ~And, considering that they were assured that the measure would maltd no dif ference in their rents, but would be made up to them in the reduced cost of living, he hoped they,woullset a good -example, and do justice to the -people: llWVould now move that instead of 20s. the sum of Is. be inserted.— (Cheers, and loud cries of " Divide, divide.") The CHAIRMANsaid, that he should put the original amendment first. The question was then put, when Mr. ESCOTT, amidst- loud cries of "Divide," said he should oppose the motion of the Hon. Member near him. —(Cheers.) He considered the present measure was good in proportion as it diminished the difficulties which lay in the way of the importation of cattle into the coun try.—(Cheers.) He believed the interests of agriculture world be aided, and not defeated by the present mea sure.—(Divide.) After a few words from Mr. R. YORICE, amidst loud cries of "Divide," Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to say a few words before thedivision. He was certainly not surprised at the sensation created by the joke of the Right Hon. Gen tleman, which had been • intended as a mere pleasantry. Though the statements were very absurd with regard to cattle, they were not more absurd than the statement made last year with respect to corn. With regard to the proposition now before the House, he certainly could not vote for the Hon. Gentleman's amendment. He would beg leave to call the attention of the Hon. Gentleman to a statement made by Mr. Meek, with regard to the importa tion of cattle. He thought that the importation would not be very large, but such as it was, it would be forced by the operation of our other laws relating to agricultural pro duction. Mr. Meek stated that the butter and cheese imported from liamburgh, amounted in 1818 to 1,000,0001b5., and in 1836, it increased to 4,000,000 lbs. That was owing to there being less corn grown, and more land being used for pasture than formerly. He thought that this very clearly showed that the effect of the Corn-laws, as now proposed to be estahlished,was to induce the persons to apply land to grass, and to look for profit to the exportation of cattle. Now he thought that the best way to prevent that from being carried to an excess, was to adapt the Corn-laws to the cattle duty, and to equalize the two—(Hear, hear)—so as not to force the farmers to apply themselves too much to graz ing. As he could not vote for the proposition of the Hon. Member now before the House, so neither could he vote for the proposition of another Hon. Member, which was to be afterwards brought on. He thought the pro position of the Government, that the duty upon cattle should be 20s. per head a very fair one.— (Hear.) The duty was not excessive, for it amounted to no more than eight per cent, ad valorem ; and therefore, although he should have preferred It different rate, yet he did not like to oppose that which came from the Go vernment, as it was really an improvement on the tariff. There might be many things in the new tariff which he might wish to have been otherwise, but wherever he found that they were, after all, improvements on the pre• sent system, he would not oppose them.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL said that the course which the Noble Lord intended to follow almost prevented him from re freshing his memory as to a certain province in Russia. —(Hear and laughter.) The Noble Lord had accused them (the Ministers) of having raised an alarm respect ing. the quantity of corn which could be imported from a single province in Russia. The fact was the late Go vernment sent out a gentleman to collect information on the Continent as to the corn which those countries could supply ; and amongst the Reports there v. as one from an English Consul in Russia, who gave the ' amount of corn which could be im ported from that _country in one week as 38,000,000. qrs. Now the Noble Lord who was so anxious to obtain the most correct and the fullest information preparatory to an important change in the Corn-laws, caused that Report to be printed, without asking a question as to the grounds on which this extraordinary statement was founded.—(Hear, hear.) It passed altogether unnoticed until he (Sir R.Peel) called attention to it, and suggested that there must be a mistake in the figures. That state ment had never been questioned ; it had been printed, and he (Sir R. Peel) was the first person who had asked if there was not some arithmetical error in the statement. Reference was made to the original letter, and there, not the figures, but the words, thirty-eight millions of quarters, were found written at length in the handwriting of the Consul. The Noble Lord charged his (Sir R. Peel's) side of the House with countenancing the error. The Noble Lord himself was certainly more open to the charge of making that exaggerated statement, since it was the Noble Lord who had caused that statement to be printed at the public expense ; and until he (Sir R. Peel) had made inquiries on the suject. had not called on the Consul for any explanation.—(Cheers.) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the original motion 209 For Mr. Miles' amendment Majority for the original motion ... —165 Major VIVIAN rose to move that the duty on cattle, meat, and other provisions mentioned in the tariff, im ported from the Canadas, be equal to the impart duty from other foreign countries. It was well known that Canada could export but little of those provisions, but they obtained their provisions from America. There were seventy thousand square miles of fine country in Ohio, with every facility for a large supply from that country ; and, therefore, with a differential duty in favour of the Canadas of 25., the consequence would be that the settlers in America would immediately turn their attention to producing cattle, and they would have eventually an immense quantity of foreign meat sent by the Canadas at a duty of 2s. He trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would reconsider this matter. He (Major Vivian) was bound to bring the subject forward, as his constituents were largely interested in the matter. Sir 11. PEEL said that he could not accede to the pro posal of the Hon. and Gallant Member. The present arrangement would be beneficial both to the colonist and to the consumer in this country. Major VIVIAN said that the parties who would really benefit by the Government proposition would be the Americans, who imported cattle into Canada. Mr. C. BULLER said that the route from the Ohio River by Lake Erie into Canada, along the River St. Lawrence, with all the rapids, was so circuitous, that he thought it was quite clear more would be lost than gained by the difference between the duties ; he was of opinion, therefore, that the system could not departed from in this instance. He wished to point out to his Hon. and Gallant Friend, that if there were any apprehension of provisions being brought in from Ohio to Sidney, that that would not give the Canadas any advantage over the United States.—(Hear.) The difference was only one of 10s. This kind of smuggling could not be apprehended, and if it should take place, he did not see any particular harm in it ; because if the people should get food a little cheaper, he did not think that that was a matter calling for the interference of that House. If he wanted to find reasons for voting against any clause in this measure, he should be able to find plenty of a theoretical nature for voting against this clause. They had now to contend with a great evil— the question of the Canadian timber trade, that had been an evil of their own fostering. Let them beware lest they raised up such another enemy fur the future. He did not think, however, that any protection that could be given could foster a cattle trade in Canada. He did wish to go out of his way to find arguments against not the tariff. He looked at it as a whole, and he considered it was the greatest measure that ever was carried in favour of free trade. He did not say the greatest mea sure that had ever becn proposed, but, if they got it, it would be the greatest measure ever carried in favour of free trade.—(Cheers.) When he saw the extent to which Ministers were disposed to carry free trade prin ciples, he was almost inclined to forgive their past sins for the manner in which they had, in this tariff, boldly attacked monopoly. He was anxious the tariff should be carried with the gloss of free trade upon it, and there fore he was inclined to accept it without looking so ad mirable a gift-horse in the mouth.—(Laughter.) Viscount HOWICK said that as the amendment of the Hon. and Gallant Officer appeared to be at first sight in conformity with the resolutions, which he (Lord How ick) had submitted to the House, he could not vote against it, as he intended doing, without shortly stating the reasons by which he had been determined to adopt_ that course. It was clear, as had been stated by the Right Hon. Baronet, that it would be impossible that cattle could be brought from Canada •, and, therefore, the proposition of the Hon. and Gallant Officer must be nuga tory. He (Lord Howick) could not help seeing that the amendment had been moved, not to carry into effect the principle for which he (Lord Howick) had contended, but to allay the unfounded alarms of the gentlemen of landed property. He did not wish, by any vote of his to lend any countenance to that alarm. He approved of that part of the tariff relating to cattle, and he could not vote for an amendment that would be supported by those who opposed it. But though he approved of this part of the tariff, yet he thought the Right Hon. Baronet had begun his free trade at the wrong end in regard to the interests of agriculture. The tendency of the improve ments in agriculture was to increase the production of stock, and diminish the cultivation of corn. But the course now taken tended to discourage the improved system, and to encourage the mistaken attention paid to the cultivation of corn. The principle laid down with regard to cattle, applied with double force to grain. Sir R. PEEL said it was very difficult to form a judg ment as to what the practical effect of these reductions would be. It had been asserted that the protection given to spring corn was much greater than that given to wheat, as spring corn was that most used in feeding ; cattle and the Noble Lord proved that he acted wisely and for the benefit of agriculture in giving less protec tion to spring corn than heretofore. It had been stated that there need be no apprehension of the economic mode of importing oats in the shape of fat beef, since the country that sent them the most fat cattle sent them the most oats also. Lord HOWICK said the Right Hon. Gentleman seemed now to take a pride in having encouraged the importation of spring corn, because it was applied to feeding cattle. But the great mistake he had com mitted was this, that he had not considered corn on the same principle as he had considered cattle. The tendency of the system was to discourage the adop tion of the best systems by the agriculturists, and to encourage them to trust to the old s y stem o f w h eat cul tivation for raising their rents. All these discussions, however, only showed how destitute her Majesty's Go vernment were of any fixed principles on the subject. No general or fixed principle was adopted. Sir R. PEEL said he was very sorry that the Noble Lord had so soon repented t he com p liment w hich he had just paid to the Government.—(Cheers.) Re would just mention, with reference to the Corn-law, that in the week ending the 12th of May, 1842, 15,000 quarters of wheat had been admitted at a duty of 125., and that in the following week, 5,764 quarters, had been admitted at the same duty. He thought that showed that reduction might be expected from the altera tion in the duty, and that the public could not be exposed to the inconvenience of a sudden and extravagant rise in price.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE said he thought the Right Hon. Baronet had shown a disposition to evade the objection THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MA/ 25, 1842. put forward on that side or' the House—namely, that the Corn-law was founded upon a higher principle of pro tection than the tariff. The Right Hon. Baronet had made the valuable admission, that in the present state of things the people of this country were not provided with food to the extent which they had a right to expect. Judging from the language of the Right Honour able Baronet, any one would suppose that meat was the staple food of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Every argument, howeVer, which had been urged by the Right Hon. Baronet, in favour of a reduction in the duty on cattle, would apply with ten-fold force to corn ; and if the present Corn-laws should fail to supply the wants of the people the Government would be compelled in very shame to apply that principle to corn which, with respect to cattle, they had admitted to be absolutely neces sary for the interests of the people.--(Hear, hear.) Major VIVIAN said that his motion was rather in the nature of an appeal to the Right Hon. Baronet. He did not wish to take up the time of the House in pressing it to a division, and he would 'therefore beg to with draw it. Lord J. RUSSELL said that before the motion was withdrawn he would observe that as the Right Hon. Gentleman had referred to the quantity of corn im ported under the present Corn Bill-law he hoped he would have no objection to lay before the House an ac count of the amount of corn taken out of bond, and the quantity now in bond, which he understood to 1,000,000 quarters. It was desirable that there should be an accu xate statement made on the matter. Mr. HUME said that the Colonies ought to be consi dered an integral part of the empire, and that there should be no duties imposed on their productions when imported into this country. Mr. PUSEY said that his views had been called theo retical. He would then state what a practical farmer, who rented 200 acres of land at 200/. a-year, told him on this subject. He had stated that he would rather wheat had fallen 10s. a quarter than that mutton had fallen the extent to which it had between last May and the present time. Sir R. PEEL said that, according to his butcher's bills, no fall had taken place whatever in the price of mutton. The Noble Lord referred to the quantity of corn in bond. The quantity in bond was 800,000 quar ters, and he was ready to give every information on the subject. . Mr. PUSEY explained. Mr. C. WOOD agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet that they should not draw any hasty conclusions with regard to the new Corn-law. The Right Hon. Gentle man stated the advantage of the C Drn-law from the quantity of corn admitted within the last two weeks. He stated that 15,000 quarters were admitted the week end ing the 12th of May, and in the last week 5,000 quarters in London alone. But under the old Corn-law there were entered in the corresponding weeks last year, 17,000 quarters in the first, and almost as large a quan tity in the second, at a price of 235.. Bd., so that very little could be drawn from the quantity imported. Lord SANDON said that the case of corn was diffe rent from the case of cattle, for one was imported from the most extensive market, and the other from a compa ratively circumscribed one.—(Cheers from the Oppo sition.) They might have an immense crop of corn in ono year, but they would not have a large crop of cattle, and therefore the cases were distinct. The fact was that the subject was a most intricate one, and whoever dealt with it had to deal with the most conflicting opinions.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord the Member for Sunderland for instance, would treat the colonies as foreign countries, while the Hon. Member for Montrose would have them treated_ like an integral portion of tfie kingdom. He should for his own part prefer the opinion of the Hon. Member for Montrose, but it was with such different opinions the Right Hon. Baronet had to deal. , Mr. LABOUCHERE agreed with the Noble Lord who had just sat down, that very little cattle could be imported into this country, but that a large . quantity of corn might ; and he had no doubt that that circumstance was the basis of the present measures of the Govern ment ; and if they had avowed that, they would not have been accused, as they had been, of inconsistency. A very different principle had been adopted with respect to corn and to cattle, both of which he contended ought to be placed on the same footing. The Right Hon. Gentle man stated, that population was outstripping the pro duction of food in this country. There could be no doubt of that, and the assertions of the Right Hon. Gentleman would not be forgotten in the country, Was it not, there fore, surprising, that a Minister of the Crown, after such an assertion, should have brought forward such a Corn law as the Right Hon Baronet had done ? With regard to the question of colonial protection, he was not inclined to act upon any abstract principle ' - but he thought the principle of colonial protection had been carried to too great an extent in the original tariff ; he was, however, glad to find that in the present one seve ral alterations were made in that respect. With respect to the manufactures of India, he considered they had not been placed as yet upon a fair footing, and he was, there fore, glad to find in the present tariff, that they were likely to be more favourably dealt with. He considered that hitherto the greatest injustice had been done to India, and he was glad to see that something like a re medy for that injustice was proposed in the tariff. At the same time, he thought the eight Hon. Gentleman had extended the principle of colonial protection to a mis chievous extent. In that very article of live cattle, what could be the meaning of imposing a differential duty in favour of colonial cattle, when it was admitted on all hands that no cattle could come from our colonies? What could be the meaning of it except, to assert the principle that colonial protection ought to be universal ? Now, although he could not agree with some of his lion. Friends that our colonies should be treated precisely as if they were foreign countries, yet he could not but con sider that the Right lion. Gentleman had pushed his , principle of colonial protection to a most mischievous 1 extent. . _ _ _ _ Mr. COBDEN felt astonished at hearing such a speeech as that which had been made by the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool emanate from the repre sentative of a large commercial community. The Noble Lord approved of the Corn-law, because it prevented us from exchanging our commodities for the produce of other countries, and he approved of the provision -law, because, although it suffered that exchange to take place, it was impossible, from the circumstance of the countries from which the cattle was to be brought, that it could give rise to commercial transactions to any great extent. In Lancashire the people agreed with the Noble Lord • in thinking that the object of their legislation in that House was to prevent importation from taking place, when it might take place in large quantities. The Noble Lord said the country might be inundated with foreign corn. Yes, and then our manufacturers would be inundated with orders to execute, which must give increased em ployment to the labouring classes; and it was to prevent that they were legislating. The people looked on such a course of legislation with anything but appro bation. He thought the Right Hon. Baronet, in the different arguments he had addressed to the different sides of the House, as he had desired to conciliate their support, had paid anything but a compliment to their understandings. It reminded him of an actor on another stage speaking was technically called aside, so that only the person addressed should hear him, while in fact he was heard all over the house. It was a mockery of the people to legislate in such a manner. In Lancashire hope was extinguished—there was a settled, lasting gloom among the industrious classes, with no hope or prospect of revival. But Englishmen would not lie down to die like dogs ; and while they were legis lating in that House, haggling over a miserable penny a pound on beef, they were rousing a spirit that would bring about changes far more sweeping than any now contemplated. The people wanted food and employment, and they were legislating systematically to prevent their having either. They ex cluded them from all trade with America, and then they told them that from New Orleans this country might be inundated with corn. They said this at a time when there were tens of thousands of people starving for want of that very food—when their machinery was rusting, and their ships rotting for want of employment. Such legislation was a scandal to England—was a scandal to Christendom. They had no earthly right to prevent the inhabitants of Stockport from exchanging the produce of their industry for the corn of the Mississipi valley. It was neither more nor less than legislative murder, to prevent the people from exchanging the pro duce o,f their labour for the food of other countries. It was not the price they cared about—a penny a pound upon meat; give the people employme,nt, and the people could pay double the price. What the people contended for was the right to exchange the produce of their labour for the food of other countries. Was it too much for the people to claim the right to go 3,000 miles for food? Would the landed gentlemen give them food in exchange for their cotton manufactures ?—were they prepared to employ them ? The manufacturers never came to Par liament to fix the price of a yard of calico, as the agri culturalists who settled the price of corn at 565. No, they challenged conpetition with the whole world. The landed interest could not employ them, and yet they denied them the right of exchanging the produce of their labour for the food of other countries. He could not listen patiently to such proceedings. He felt himself justified, coming from the place he did, seeing so much distress around him, to take any course that was allowed him, if he could get a man to join him in that course, to put an end to that which he considered to be a national farce in the country. Lord SANDON said, he bad represented a large con stituency for a period of eleven years, and he had always maintained the same principle. The argument used by the Hon. Gentleman was, that they would destroy em ployment by those principles. If the Hon. Members on his (Lord Sandon's) side of the House sa w the argument the same insight as the Hon. Member , he believed they would be willing to adopt the principles ; but th e y differed entirely as to their result, for they believed that the policy of the Hon. Gentleman would be the means of diminishing labour. The manufacturers wished to main tain their protection, and he did not believe they wished any change in the Corn-laws. Mr. TURNOUR said he thought the tariff ought speedily to pass into a law. Whether the tariff was good or evil, those who promoted it must stan d or fall by it. The country was extremely desirous that it should be come law. He did not mean to say that this was not his opinion. He thought it ought to be submitted to the jury of the country, for them to decide upon it. The present Government was making a great step towards free trade, and the proposition of the late Government would yet be considered by future generations a great measure. The House had been occupied one whole night, and they had made no progress ; and nine o'clock of another night had arrived, and no further progress made, whilel millions were looking to the result with anxious expectation, and the delay prevented the em ployment of capital. The proposition was then agreed to. The different items, to swine and hogs exclusive, were then agreed to. On the item of swine and hogs being proposed, Mr. S. O'BRIEN said, he thought it was almost use less to attempt to induce the Right Hon. Baronet to modify this part of the tariff ; still he thought it right to those interests which he represented, not to' let th Sir E.

Sir H. PEEL said, under the.old tariff, the admission of turbot was objected to, on the grotind that it was a luxury, and could not be obtained by the poor. If he had continued the duty upon salted herrings, and had exempted turbot, it would have been said that he was favouring the rich.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. AGLIONBY in explana , tion, and from Lord INGESTRIE, the resolution was agreed to without a division. On the resolution imposing variote duties on fish im ported from foreign places in other than fishing vessels being proposed, Mr. C. BULLER inquired why it was that various duties-were proposed for different kinds of fish ? For instance, on salmon the duty was to be-10s. per cwt., and on turbot ss. per cwt. Sir R. PEEL said that it was owing to the difference in the expense incurred in the various fisheries. Mr. C. BULLER expressed himself satisfied with the Right Hon. Baronet's explanation. Mr. M. GIBSON said, it appeared to him that the present proposition withdrew protection from the poor fisherman, and retained it to a great extent in the case of the fisherman who catered for the rich. He thought that the imposition of a duty of 10s. per cwt. on salmon was yielding to that influence which the Right Hon. Baronet had deprecated. Sir R. PEEL said, that under the former system of protection, leases of 14, and, in some instances, 20 years, had been entered into in salmon fisheries, parti-. cularly in the northern- parts of the — country, and very large sums had been expended on those fisheries ; it was therefore but just that they should in some degree be protected. With regard to soles, lie had not:received a single remonstrance, while, as respected salmon, there was not a single article on which he had received so many representations. And if there was any one article to which h e m i g h t re f er f or the sake of political power, 'it was to the article of salmon, an d also t o that of soles. Mr. GLADSTONE said that , looking to the value of the arti c l es , t h e d uty on. sa lmon was lower than the duty on soles. - Mr. WAIiLEY duce the duty on sa l mon from 1 0 s. to B s. Mr. Ald erman HUMPHERY said that an additional sugg ested that it. would be well to re penny in the pound would be of little consequence. He thought that the largest boon ever given by the Right Hon. Baronet re l a t e d to the article of salmon.—(Great laughter.) With regard to the fishing of soles no rent whatever was paid, while ,a very large rent was paid for salmon fisheries. The rent of Lough Foyle alone was 6,000/. After tte On a gre ed h o a . resolution few v imropmosg Mr. n RICE, Captain PECHELL, Lord J.
