LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EvnNrsc.The fine steam ship 13ritannia, Captain Hewitt, arrived here at noon, from Halifax, whence she sailed on the third, after per forming the trip in something more than eleven days. Her dates are from New York to the 31st, and Boston to the first. The proceedings in Congress were of a highly in teresting and excitable character. Mr. John Quincy Adams, who delights, . on every occasion, in throwing that apple of discord, the Abolition of 'Slavery question into the House of Representatives, pre sented a petition from certain residents of Massa chussets, praying for the dissolution of the Union if the curse of slavery could not be otherwise extin guished. The presentation of this petition threw that honourable body into a fever of excitement, Stron,g and indignant resolutions were drawn up and moved against Mr. Adams, suggesting his impeachment for high treason against the Constitution, or at the least his being censured, if not expelled from the House. A long and angry debate of three or four days followed, which finally closed, on the motion of Mr. Fillmore, for laying the resolutions in question on the table. The re sult showed 90 for the affirmative, and 100 for the nega tive ; but, notwithstanding this acquittal by a majority of 10, some of the southern members, to gratify their spleen against Mr. Adams, brought his case in another shape before the House, and on this subject it was de bating when the last accounts left. The Bill to repeal the Bankrupt .Act,. was -thrown out of the Senate by a majority of one-23 to 22. Mr. Clay, who has always opposed the repeal, voted in the majority. In the same body, Mr. Clay brought forward his motion for amending the constitution of the United States, by certain changes in its fundamental principles, such as taking from the President his veto power, vesting the election of certain high officers with Congress, and not, as at present, with the Presi dent ; in short, stripping that functionary of his most important prerogatives. Mr. Clay's proposals were, however, coldly listened to, and there seems not the slightest chance of their being carried. The Bank of Pennsylvania and the Girard Bank, both carrying on business in Philadelphia, had failed, to the ruin of many and the surprise of all. Mr. Dickens was exciting great attention in New York, and the citizens were devising every possible plan to do him honour. The Exchange on England was 108 to 1081. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, .JAN. 31.

The memoirs of the authoress of " Eveline," written in the truth-telling narrative, and delightfully easy style which is so fascinating in that standard novel of the old school, cannot fail to be deeply interesting to all admirers of the works of Madame D'Arblay, better known as Miss Burney. They are chiefly composed of transcripts from the journals of Miss Burney, from the time she commenced her secret authorship, which exhibit the progress of her thoughts and actions, written in the same manner as .‘ Evelina" itself. It is a perfect ro mance of real life, in which some of the most distinguished literary characters of the last century figure conspicuously. We cannot speak too much in praise of this delightful work, which everyone must read.— Courier.

What the result may be is scarcely to be foreseen. The Bankrupt law goes into operation to-morrow, and even the sound banks look forward to its abets with the utmost anxiety, and, consequently are exceedingly cautious in their movements. Another cause of alarm is, the disastrous condition of the Treasury of the Federal Government. On the Ist there was a deficit of 600,000 dols., and since then almost all claims upon the Government have been dishonoured. The army and the navy are without pay, and the outstanding Treasury Notes being at a discount, they form al most the only medium of payments into the public Treasury—of 100,000 dots. received for public dues 90,000 dols, are in Treasury Notes. Consequently there are no means of meeting the pressing wants of the Government. All these causes of distrust prevent any immediate change in the current of events. This has been packet.day for the Boston steamer, which takes her departure tomorrow. There having been no steamer now for near thirty days, the demand for bills for this conveyance has been large. The supply has, however, been fully adequate to it, and the rates exhibit no improvement. In Stocks the market has presented no material change. Prices are generally lower than at the close of the last month, with the exception of Illinois and Indiana Bonds, in which there is a slight improvement, arising from the purchases of tho.e speculators who sold on time in anticipation of disastrous news from England by the steamer. Otherwise the news from England has had no effect, and throughout the month of January prices have been gradually falling, until the average value of all public Stocks is less than ever before.

DERBY. CALLING IN OF THE MILITARY. (FROM ♦ COELMIPONDENT.) A number of Tories here being dreadfully alarmed by the demon stration of Thursday night, they appeared before the Magistrates on the following morning, and took oath that they did not consider their lives or property safe. Consequently, one of Sir James Gra ham's new Grenadier Magistrates posted off to Nottingham, and, in the evening, a troop of Dragoons came galloping into the town with drawn swords! and looking prodigiously valorous. A num. ber of people soon congregated about them, and considerable mer. riment followed at thikexpense of the red-coats. In addition to this, hundreds of special constables were called out, many of them looking very sheepish, and some young sprigs of gentility looking extraordinarily well qualified to quell a disturbance ! The work. ing classes enjoy the fun amazingly, but the publicans (some of them Twice) growl at the expense and trouble of having soldiers quartered upon them. On Saturday evening the working classes held a large meeting, at which they passed the following " Pro. test:"— TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAN AND IRELAND IN PAR LIAMENT ASSEMBLED :- " THE PETITION AND REMONSTRANCE OF THE UNDER SIGNED WORKING-MEN, IN THE BOROUGH OF DERBY, AGREED TO AT A PUBLIC MEETING, . " Humbly Sheweth,--That your Petitioners have heard with disgust and indignation the odious project announced by the Chief Minister of the Crown for centinuiug the unjust and iniquitous system of a tax upon corn, founded upon the false and swindling pretext of protection to the Agriculturist, and upon the most cor ruin and fraudulent principles of a sliding scale of duties. They view with horror and aversion the proposition of that atrocious measure framed for the purpose of plundering the mass of the people in perpetuity —a measure which will be execrated and ought to be firmly resisted by every honest man ; which is directly op. posed to the beneficent intentions of an all-wise Providence, and is calculated to despoil the toiling millions of the fruits of their honest industry, and reduce them to starvation, for the benefit of a grasp ing and rapacious aristocracy. " That all men have au undoubted right to secure to themselves by every fair and honest means, the enjoyment of the full reward of their labour; that they are entitled, universally, to buy and sell in the best markets for their advantage. That any restriction►, imposed by any class of tnen, upon the free exercise of these naturel rights, are tyrannous and oppressive, and ought to be opposed with the most determined resistance. That your petitioners remon. strate most strongly against every species of exclusive Cla►s Legis lation ; that they have submitted only by force to the unprinci pled and nefarious exactions of Monopoly —created by unjust laws —by which famine and destitution have pervaded the land which bounteeue Heaven has crowned with plenty ; the enjoyment of which is forbidden, and denied by roan to his fellow man. That your petitioners know too well by sad experience, the main cause of the misery and starvation that prevail, to be deceived by the fal. lacles and sophistry of the Framers of Laws that rob them of their food. Their labour is their only estate; they seek not to possess the estates of others, and they will not be despoil( d of their own with impunity. They cannot hut view the long-suffering, patient en. durance of the famishing multitudes with astonishment. "That your petitioners have often laid before your Honourable House their humble statements of wrongs and miseries, with earnest prayers and supplications for redress—but in'vain. They hope that your Honourable House will now listen to the appeals of a suffering people, before they are driven to desperation. They sub. mit to your Honourable House their most forcible renNigrun ce against the monstrous propositions for the pffpfitii4tion of a tar upon their bread, and they pray that the Pqrtuind Provision.laws may be immediately and totally repeal e d. • And your petitioners will ever v r4 y't So alarmed are the Tories, that a certain lawyer has had a lieap of stones conveyed to the top of his house; ditto the Tory news-otlice. (PRO)t ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) Nobly have the working men of Derby responded to the sail, and done their duty. In eight days a petition for a repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, received only 4,534 signatures; in eleven hours this spirited remonstrance received 6,336 signatures from the honest, toiling sons of industryl—Hurralt for Cortl-laW Repeal, and the of InclOP!p i; In the speeches delivered, the speakers said the workin g classe s were not silPh 004 as to destroy property. They kneW how to achieve their ;Nat rots Without having recourse to such violence as that ; bnt they egpressed their determination to make the aris. tocracy concede justice, SPORTING INTRE4LIGENCE. lIPTTINg 41 M A NOtiRSIER—TDESDAY.

LINC 0 MBE presented a petition from the Chi chester Union, in the county of Durham, prayin g for the repeal of the Bastardy Act in the r oorrlaw Amend ment Bill. PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES. Sir V. BLAKE presented a petition from the north of Ireland, praying for the legalising of the Presbyterian marriages. _ Mr. PARKER presented five petitions from Hudders field, and other places in the West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. • Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented petitioni from a Congre gation in Manchester, and from a Mr. It. Bagster, of the same place, prayin g for a total repeal of the laws re lating to corn. Colonel FOX presented petitions, signed by upwards of a - hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants of the me tropolis, praying for an abolition of the Corn-laws. Sir T. FREeMANTLE presented a petition, from the tradesmen •of Holborn, praying for a measure for throwing open to the public, Vauxhall, Waterloo, and Southwark bridges, on which tolls are at present levied. A petition was presenteil from Donegal, in Ireland, praying for an act to legalise Catholic and Presbyterian. larriages. CORN-LAWS. Mr. RENNIE presented a petition from Kidder minster, agreed to at a public meeting, complaining of the distress prevailing in the country, and praying for a re peal of the Corn•laws and Universal Suffrage. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Yorkshire ' against the Corn-laws. The Hon. Member also presented a great number of petitions to the same effect from a variety of places, but he read the names of the places in so low atone of voice, and there was so much noise in the House, that they did not reach the gallery. Mr. TOWNLEY presented a petition against the Corn-laws, as we understood. • Mr. GIBSON CRAIG presented petitions from Man chester, and the, Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. EWART presented a petition against the Corn laws, but we were unable to learn fronwhat place. Sir E. KNATCHBULL gave notice that to-morrow he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the sale of property. Sir C. NAPIER gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was true, as he had read in the Mornin g Chronicle-=-(Great laughter from the Ministerial Benches)—that the Emir Bechir had arrived at Constantinople, and that the Torte would not allow him to resume the government of his tribes. He was extremely sorry to be under the necessity of giving the Right. Hon. Baronet so much trouble ; but having served in that country, he con sidered it his duty to raise his voice on behalf of the unfortunate inhabitants of Syria.—(Hear, hear.), The Hon. Member then delivered some papers to the Right Hon. Baronet, who intimated that he would give his attention to the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that, being anxious, for the sake of public con venience, to have the resolutions on the Corn-laws de cided befog his motion, of which he had given intima tion, came. on, he would postpone that motion until Tuesday. _ LOCAL COURTS. Mr. EVANS begged leave to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department,whether it was the intention of the Government, during the pre sent session, to introduce a Bill for the establishment of Local Courts for the recovery of small debts ? Sir J. GRAHAM said it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in a Bill for what, per haps, the Hon. Gentleman might term local Courts, but it was their intention to provide for the re covery of debts amounting to 151., by local tribunals ; and in cases of small debts, to afford greater facilities for their recovery. As he was on his legs, he would take the opportunity of stating that a measure would be introduced to continue the expiring Small Debts Act, by which the recovery of debts by local tri bunals would he rendered more easy. ABOLITION OF CORPORAL PUNISH NT IN THE ARMY. An HON. MEMIIER, on the Oppoidtion side of the House, begged to inquire of the Clerk of the Ordnance whether it was his intention to bring in a Bill for the —,ion to abolition of corporal punishment in her Majesty's army ? Captain BOLDERO said it was not his mtc-0 introduce r a i : g y B ib il r l % o a n rd the an su y bZ, but if --- subject, he (Captain mot.ero '" au re of his own on th e always done. ..) should vote, as he had 14.:LECTION PETITIONS, l'erferocnalli ß ed ri ti dl l i n rt, b3 l 7 l t a h r e - M e mber Speaker to form a General Committee of selection, for n :ne following Hon. the purpose of trying contested election petitions, and were sworn in for the purpose Lord G. Somerset, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Loch, Mr. J. IV. Patten, an d si r. w. Somerville. ,Several petitions, including those_ wich, and Sudbury, were then referred to the Committee. INTERFERENCE OF PEERS IN ELECTIONS. Mr.TIIESIGER then rose to bring forward the motion of whieh he had Oven notice, with respect to the right of Peers to int er f ere i n the election of M em b ers of Parlia ment. The question involvod Points of great interest t o the privile ges o f th a t Honset It was whethe r it was com petent to a Peer et Jew-lien:WM to interfere vi ith elec tions, by heconArAg 4 petitioner against the return of 34(44,g. a that House. The questi on arose ' upon two, pOitiona presented against the late return for Bel fast. O N of those petitions_ was present e d by Lord Innishowen, an d t h e other h? Arobibald Hamilton, one of the e l ec t or s of ileiPast, but the Noble Lord was the oAt t y , pe6oli who had entered into recognizanem 1110 circumstances of the ease were new . 3 he lAA not been able to find, upon inquiry, o it e it, by his own research, anything k Cases of the pre•• r sent kind we re to be decided by principles which were famili ar t o th em , and no doubt could be enter tained as to the NATS'a it was necessary to pur sue. At th e k t io election for B e lf ast, a Com "KIWI\ Pil acin of a p eer , was un sucecv.sful. There was no doubt it was competent. to the Noble Lord to co m e t o th e House mild petition against the return. But in the present Wtanee, i mmediately after the return, antl. h,eiore any petition was presented, the Noble Ind wascalled to t e How e of Peers by the title of Baron Innishowen and Carrickferg us , It was clear, that when the Earl of Belfast was called to the Upper House, he was entirely disqualified *out being an elector, and he could have no personal interest in elections and any interference \imam be a breach of the privi leges. They were all familiar with the sessional orders which we4* 134sw 1 every Session, and which were the same now as at the time of the Act of William. That order, after stating that no Peer of the realm has a right to vote at any election except thole for Irish Peers, went on to state that it was a high infringeinent of the liberties of the Commons for any Lord of Parlia ment to concern himself in the election ()Members to s erve in Parliament, except only as Irish Peers. There night be some doubt as to the correct interpretation of that older; whether it referred merely to the period of election. But if the Honourable Members would look td the circumstances of the present case, they would see that the order applied to it ; for it was plain that if a party applied to that House for the purpose of voiding an election, what did he but interfere in that election ? Lord Belfast having been a candidate could, no doubt have petitioned against the return before he became a Peer. But no doubt what3ever that lie could not petition now that he had become a Peer, for it would be an infringement of their privil eges . Th e moment h e was ma de a Pee ' th e i ground was cut f r o m un d er hi m . This appeare to him to be a ma tt er o f i m p ortance t o th e H use, and it was necessary that it should be detered. He thought it r i g ht to say , t h at t h e d ec i s i on o f t h e Huse could make no difference whatever with respect tol the inquiry, because there was another petition presented from the electors, which was a good petition, and the rejection of Lord Innishowen's would not prevent the in vestigation. He had devoted much attention to I the rules and privileges of the House, and he could not help thinking this question worthy of their consideration; but he did not desire to press , the subject more than the House - might think the case required. The House could not be too jealous of its privileges which were granted, not for the benefit of the Members themselves, but for that of the country. . He concluded by moving that the two petitions from Lord Innishowen and Archibald Hamilton should not be re- i furred to a Committee. Mr. RIGBY WASON knew a ease which went pari passu with the case alluded to by the Honinfrable and Learned Member. In that case the petitioners had entered into recognizances, and had paid witnesses. for their attendance. He_ considered it would be extremely inconvenient if the House were to take cognizance of these cases. The proper place for considering them was in Committee, and he considered it would be extremely irregular for the House to interfere in the pre sent instance.—(Hear,. hear.) If the petition were referred to the Committee, and that Committee found that the petitioner was not qualified to present a petition, the Committee would report that there was no valid'pe tition against the return, and the sitting Members would be declared duly elected. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL suggested that the proper course to be pursued was to refer the petition to , the Committee. Sir G. CLERK said that the present was perfectly a novel case. He believed that in a reference to the journals, no case could be found in which !an unsuccessful candidate at an election, who had presented a petition against the return to the House, had been called up to the House of Peers in the interim between the presentation and the trial cf the petition. But there were several instances of the qualifications of candidates having been under' the consideration of the. House and the Committee, which, though not exactly the same, bore a strong analogy to the present case. In the Honiton case, the election having been declared void, and no sp ec i a l report having been made to the Hotise, the candidate returned at the previous election went clOwn to the second election and was defeated ; he then became a petitioner. There was nothing on the face of the petition which would - disqualify him from being a petitioner. ; but the House inquired whether he was'' - disqualified or no. In the same way in an other election, notice was given that the qualifi cation - should be the question, and the Com mittee went into the merits of the case, before they allowed him to go before the House. That applied to cases where nothing appeared on the face of the petition. In the Carmarthen election in 1803, there were three petitioners, stated to be freeholders in the county of Carmarthen, but it did not appear on the face of the petition that they were entitled to vote ; the House had, however, referred the petition to the Committee ; and in other cases the House consi dered whether the qualification of the electors was suf ficient, showing that the character of the petitioner should be declared by the House. Could there be any doubt that George hemble Chichester, Baron Innishowen, had been a candidate for the representation of Belfast, being then a commoner ? Was it possible that Lord Innishowen could appear before the House in the character of a petitioner ? He would ask the House what course it would adopt when a person had petitioned against a Peer. Would the House allow that Peer to go before them and defend himself ? ' Certainly not. If the person petitioned against is called to the other House, he was not allowed to appear before the Com mittee ; and if this objection appears on the face of the petition itself, it was clear that it could not be referred to the Committee. If there was no other petition, except that signed by the Noble Lord and the elector, it could only be taken as the petition of that individual elector himself. He therefore thought that this was an entirely new case, and that the House would be establishing a very dangerous precedent, if it, for the' first time, referred to the Committee a petition that bore on the face of it, that it was signed by, and was the petition of a Member of the other House of Parliament. He should certainly vote for the motion of his lion. and Learned Friend, that the petition be not referred to the Committee. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to have the words of the pe tition read, that they might see how the fact appeared on it. No one in that House knew that Lord Innishowen was a Member of the other House of Parliament. The Clerk read the petition, from the wording of which it appeared to be the petition of " George K. Chichester, Baron of Innishowen, Carrickfergus, being then a Commoner." Mr. ROEBUCK would put' it to his Hon. and Learned Friend who had brought forward the motion, whether there was anything in the words of that peti tion which ought not to go before the Com mittee. He wanted to know what there was in that petition to show that the petitioner was a Peer of the rialm. It was stated in the petition that he was a Commoner, but there was nothing in the petition to show that he was not a Commoner still. But as there was no evidence of that kind there was no reason yet shown why the petition should not be referred to the Committee. Sir G. CLERK said that that House was cognizant of the Journals of the House of Lords, and of the Gmet&z, both of which showed that Lord Innishono had been called to the Peerage. Mr. ROEBUCK said that' in that case the proper course would be to adjourn the discussion until the Jour nals of the House of Lords or the Gazette had been' consulted. An Hos. MEMBER on the Opposition benches wikshekl to put it to the Speaker whether the point eit issue might not be acceded by the Committee, The SPEAKER said the question was, whether the petition of Lord lunishowen was such a breach of the privileges of the House as might be referred to an Elec tion Committee. In his opinion as the ,question related to the privileges of the House, the House itself should take it into its consideration, and should not refer it to, a Committee. Mr. WATSON said as this was a mammy requiring the most serinuA considerativo the House, they o ught to soktre4 far VecVletOsi before they came • . deeision—,(Year.) Tit Were two kind. - to a who had aright to petition the House. t )- or persons defesatied at an election, who htici ...e one, candidates and who cipoiareci that.-A" -- a, right to be candidates, turned t the otN— ..iey had a right to be re had not T ' the electors. The question wh— —ord Innishowen a right to be a candidate he was one, and had he not subsequently a right within the meaning of the Act to petition the House, and ought not Lord Innishowen to be heard by counsel at the bar?—(Hear, hear.) At all events, they ought first of all to search for precedents. Sir R. PEEL apprehended that no decision the House could now come to would be satisfactory. He could not vote with satisfaction on the question with his pre sent knowledge of it. Indeed, the great object of the election law was to keep such questions out of the House. As this was the first •ziuestion since the passing of the Act, he (Sir Robert Peel) hoped that his Hon. Friend would postpone it.—(Hear.) Mr. VERNON SMITH suggested the postponement of the question, for in point of fact there was no notice of it given. So little was known about it, that even one of the Hon. Gentlemen who was to have been sworn on the Committee had not known himself that it was intended he should be on it until a few mo ments before he was called upon to be sworn ; it was quite impossible that the House could come to a just conclusion ; at present, therefore, it op peared to him (Mr. Smith) that no person except the Learned Member, who had brought forward the question, and the Secretary to the Treasury with whom no doubt there was communication upon the subject, had brought forward precedents with respect to it. Mr. THESIGER had not the_ least objection that time should be taken to consider the question, as it was one of considerable importance. - Honourable Gentlemen stated that the House was taken by surprise; but he (Mr. Thesiger) had given notice dis tinctly on Monday last that he would call attention to the subject. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said there was no mention of the matter in the Votes of the House this morning. After a desultory conversation, in which the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. ROEBUCK, and some other Members took part, the further consideration of the question was postponed to Friday next. The SPEAKER informed the House that the exa miner of recognisances had reported to him that the sureties entered into for the Prosecution o f t h e pet i t i on a gainst the return of Mr. Gregory for the county of the City of Dublin, wer e unexceptionable. ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE CORN-LAWS. On the Order of the Day being read for resuming the debate on the Corn-laws, Mr. E. BULLER rose to address the House. The Hon. Member stated that Hon. Gentlemen opposite had taken credit for advocating the sliding scale solely on public grounds. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Aylesbury went still further. He stated that even if his opinion were that the sliding scale now proposed by the Right Honourable Bart. would have the effect of reducing the value of agricultural capital one-fifth, or 20 per cent.,, yet, such was his attachment to the Right Hon. Baronet that, with some thing like Roman virtue, he would support the sliding scale at this enormous cost. He altogether repudiated the Roman virtue of the Hon. Member for Aylesbury. He had no hesitation in declaring that were any measure to emanate from either side of that House, whether from the Right Hopourable Baronet, or the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell), if, in his conscience, he believed the effect of that measure would be to reduce the value of agricultural capital one-fifth, no considerations of party, no personal predilections, would prevent him from giving the measure his decided opposition. He disclaimed for himself all that disinterestedness of which Hon. Members on the other side so loudly vaunted. In every ,speech he made, and in every vote he gave on the subject of the Corn-laws, he looked to his own interest as a landed proprietor, and as an occupier of land.—(Hear.) But he thought his own interest was in the prosperity of the country, the wel fare of the labouring classes, and the increase in num ber and wealth of the nation, all of which he thought would result from the abolition of the Corn-laws. It was his conviction that tde interests of agriculture would not suffer by the abolition of these laws.—(Hear, hear.) Looking at the infornaation which had bean laid upon the table of the House respecting the places from which sup plies of corn could be had for this country, he was greatly surprised at the concession of Tamboff.—(Hear, hear.) It was calculated that 26,000,000 of quarters was the necessary supply for the 26 millions which he fleind to be the population of this country, and of these twenty-six millions, one million quarters had been imported. But the population of this country went on increasinc, at the rate o f 300,000 or 400,000 per an num , and in ten years there would be an increase of between three millions and four millions of inhabitants, and how, he would ask, could the home production be made to satisfy the wants of the whole population ? He had said that he took that volume of information laid upon the • table for the name of Tamboff, but he threw it down again in despair. It wou ld b e in the recollecti on of the House, that the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire, had scared all England from its propriety, by declaring that thirty-eight millions of quarters, the production of a single province of Russia, were loading in the port of St. Petersburgh to meet the wants of the people of this country, But what were the facts ? The population of that place was only 1,700,000, and the whole amount of wheat produced amounted, instead of 38,000,000, to something between 21,000 and 35,600 quarters.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of being twice the annual consumption, it dwindled down to something like six hours' con sumption.—(Hear, hear.) He did not adopt the opinions or sentiments of the gentlemen occupying the opposite benches, neither did he admit much that had been said on that side of the House. He did not admit that the Corn-laws were an impious prevention of the designs of Providence. He did not admit that the Corn-laws were the cause of the whole distresses of the country, but he believed they were the cause of increasing that distress. Ile believed that in times of prosperity they injured - the country and aggravated the distress. For his own part he was satisfied that the combining causes of the distress of the country arose from the monetary system in America, ' our want of trade with China, and other causes. Giving the Right Honourable Baronet credit for the fullest intention of relieving the distresses of the country, still he could not but think that the present was the smallest measure of relief ever given by a great Minister to a starving people. Though he gave gave him credit for his motives, he could not but lament his straightened circumstances,:which precluded him from carrying out a more enlarged plan. In the few observations which he intended to snake, he would state as correctly as he could the value of the plan the Right Honourable Baronet intended to produce. He could not help remarking the great discrepancy between the speech of the Right Honourable Baronet and the scale which he had laid before the House. The Right Hon. Baronet said that if prices could range between 545. and 585., the duty would be an admirable protection to the farmer, and calculated to benefit the other interests of the country. He (M - e. E. Buller) confessed he could not. understand 7". ' ny, with ; ..s scale on the these views, the Right Hon. Baronet laid b felt satisfied table of the House, when he (Mr. E. B.:;: ier ) `tided that its effect that the framer of that scale int en d should be to raise prices to OOP,. ; and he (Mr. Buller) felt convinced that it would lave the effect of raising the price as high h., 735. He (Mr. E. Buller) could not help r emarking another discrepancy be tween the speech and the scale. The Right Honour able Baronetwas decidedly an a d vocate of the sliding tfiroai ns i o e f d s t u h p a p t o s r c t a i n l e g di (el n s o c t a i e e . ven n t e 'rii ie m li e ev i t ed n t • h it a h t h tl i s s e oinbjteenct scale, en he Mr. R. Bull er ) l oo k ed at the scale laid upon the table of the House, h e must say, whoever was a fixed duty, but of an enormous amount. Now he be lieved the parties who had framed that scale expected that a very large portion of the future importations of corn to this country would be entered when the price was 665., and the, duty 6s. per quarter. He believed that if this scale should be carried the Right Honourable the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, would, in a very few years, come down to the house, and repeat his language of a former evening.--(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. E. Buller) waa sure that if this proposal was carried, it would ho attended with all the evils which the Vice-PresideAt of the Board of Trade acknowledged were attondant upon the present scale. The great ob jection to the present scale equally applied to the pro posed plan. There was an inherent defect in the sliding scale which nothing could wash out ; viz., that it held out to the persons who had in their possession a quan tity of corn all inducement to keep that corn back. Now the V,* itroposed by the Right Hon. Baronet was open to that objection on that score. It was true the Right lion. Baronet had endeavoured to reduce the amount of inducement to the holders of corn to withhold their corn from bond; but the inducement still remained when the price of' eon was rising and the duty we falling ;_ and all that h e (M r. Buller) could say of the Right licknonraide Baronet's measure was, that it was a palliakixo and not a cure ; that it was at best only a mitigated misfortune. No one could look at the returns which had been laid upon the table of the House, but must admit that the existing scale was to prevent the admission of foreign corn, nnless it had reached the maximum of price and the minimum of duty. His Hon. Friend tAait Member for Malton had shown the extremely : %ap t quantity of corn which had been admitted when the Klee was falling an d t h e duty rising, at, the dude: o f lOs, ad., 6s. Bd., an d 2s. Bd. They might say * 'plat the objection contai ne d i n t h at states est to 0): before the H ouse , app li ed to the DM scale now was a great ind ucemoot w h en thel, ant law; there 4s. of duty, an d m la. was a difference of ilky . came to the price. When they v,Oee of zaa., t )' duty " d d there was 2s. 8., an ere was A. 4141163emeitt -.e of foreign corn to A w l o p id, f rom the holders o f. Is. , i n ,t market when there was a difference Tho ' rec.- —le price and Is. Bd. in the duty. wee now before the House proposed to ..ce, iu all circumstances, the inducements to withhold corn from bond to ls. in duty and ls. in price. It appeared, however, to him (Mr. B ull er) that the inducements under the proposed scale were, as nearly as possible, as great as existed under the present scale, when the price was between 725. and 735. When the prices had arrived at 725., though the induce ment to withhhold was so low, under the scale proposed, in no instance had any foreign corn been introduced at that duty, so long as corn continued to rise. In 1828, in the first week in November, the duty was 2s. Bd., and the quantity imported that week was 1,585 quarters. In the following week the quantity was upwards of 100,000 quarters, and in the next six weeks, it was as much as 700,000. In the beginning of March, 1831, the price was 725. 5d., and the duty was 2s. Bd. In the following fortnights, whilst the duty re mained at 2s. Bd., the quantity of corn imported was no more than 1,151 quarters. But in the following week the duty fell , to Is., and the quantity of corn imported in that week was no less than 191,346 quarters.—(Hoar, hear.) In the next montlkin six weeks the importation was more than one million.—(Hear.) In 1838, in the first week of Sep tember, the price of corn fell from 775. to 745., and the duty was 2s. Bd., and the quantity o f co r n introduced was 2,800 quarters. The following week the duty went down t o Is., and there was the large quantity of 1,200,000 quar ters imported,—(Sear, hear.) Thus it was evident that corn was withheld at a duty of 2s. Bd. under the present scale, as it would be under any other scale at that duty, which was found to be a sufficient induce ment to prevent ,owners from bringing in their corn. The present proposed scale, therefore, contained pre cisely the same induc ement to w i thhold corn, and would operate in the same way. Notwithstanding the reduc tion of duty effected by it, the scale of the Right Hon. Baronet still left sufficient inducement to keep that corn, to prevent it fro m com i ng to market while prices weie rising, and as a necessary con sequence the effect would be to raise prices to the highest possible point, and the lowest duty. There was another point in the scale, and that was the rest, ; he could not understand why this rest had been intro duced at 18s. A duty of 18s. was as effectual a prohf bition, as a duty of 20s. or 30s. He had really come to the conclusion, that the rest was introduced there not for use, but for ornament; and that the yon. Gentlemen who had devised the scale, thought it would be more symmetrical, if it was introduced at the top of the scale, than at the bottom. If it was the expectation of those who devised the scale that corn would come in free at 665., he was perfectly certain that they would be disappointed in that expectat i on. And why would they be disappointed ? Because it st ill retained the great vice of every sliding scale, an induce ment to withhold corn from market. The rest was placed too high, becauseit was fixed at a price which was never attained except in years of deficient home production, is hen they must necessarily have recourse to a foreign 'uPPI,Y. Whenever the price reached 665., they would scarcely find an instance in which it failed, during the ensuing harvest, to reach the maximum price. Those, therefore, who were in possession of corn h a d not only a probability, but an absolute cer tainty ofseeing it rise to the highest point of 735.1 t appeared to him that the:effect of the proposed measure would be to keep up prices at the highest amount, and he be lieved that the rest at 1565. was of no value ; but if these things were true, he did not see how Hon. Gentlemen opposite could say that it was an improvement on the former system. He had looked at it in every view, and he could not find how it would benefit the consumer. He could not understand the course pursued by her Majesty's Ministers upon the subject. Tlicy,were pledged, they said, to the sliding scale in this country, and yet they were determined upon introducing a fixed dray into Canada. But the reasons which should govern them in the one case were the same as those which sh ou ld govern them in the other.— (Hear.) There were changes of season, and fluctuations of price, in Canada as well as in England. and there was no reason why the same system should not be adopted in both countries. It would appear as if Ministers _thought it desirable to try the principle of a fixed duty, and had selected Canada for the experiment.—( Hear, hear.) When these deductions are made, they show what the scheme of the Right Honourable Baro net really is ; and he was sure that if the House calculated the value of the proposed mea sure to the consumer, Honourable Members, he (Mr. Buller) was quit e conv i nce d, wou ld agree with him in thinking that the advantages to the consumer were so very trivial, that they must be totally lost in their minute ness. The Noble Lcrd, the Member for North Lancashire, had entered into a minute calculation of the price of sugar last Session, but he (Mr. Buller) would suggest to the Noble Lord now to calculate the precise difference to the poor man in the price of a 41b. loaf, if the proposed scheme of the Right Honourable Baronet was passed into a law.—(Hear, hear.) That would be a calculation worthy of the Noble Lord's great talents. The country was in a state of excitement upon that ques tion. Oxfordshire g r umbled — Buckinghamshire growled —and Leicestershire was actually approaching to rebellion.—(Laughter.) As sure as the germ was the earnest of th% blossom, as sure as the blossom was the earnest of the fruit, the embryo of the present measure would ripen into a fixed duty. He believed that a fixed duty of 6s. would eventually be established,—(Hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Dorchester had consulted the pamphlet of Mr. Hubbard, and that pamphlet had, strange to say, carried home to his mind a con viction of the impossibility of maintaining a fixed duty. Mr. Hubbard said that the failure of the harvest in 1816, not on)) in this country, but upon the Conti nent, the general scarcity which ensued, and the unusual precautions by which the continental Governments pro vided against that scarcity—these circumstances would have required the suspension of the fixed duty, had one been established ; but he asked if a quarter of a cen tury had elapsed without a recurrence of Used scarcity, it would be wise to refuse to legislate urtm an equitabl e system b ecause i t m i ght possibly not re cur . As well might they abrogate the habeas Corpus Act, because circumstances might occur which would re quire its temporary suspension.—(H ear, hear, hear.) He trusted he had said quite enough to show he did not approve of the proposal of the Right Hon. Baronet. —(Laughter and hear.) But he (Mr. B.) thought it perfectly practicable to institute a compromise between the interest of the grower and consumer, but retain ing the sliding scale so long as it was necessary for the protection of the farmer, and abandoning it when, without injury to them, the consumer would be bene fited. He would reserve details for future dessussion, but would assure the House, that in coming forward, he had no other motive than the relief of the poor ancl the service of the country.—(Cheers.) Sir W. JAMES observed that when the Noble Lord at the head of th e O ppos i t i on had denounced the Right Hon. Baronet's measure as an aggravation of former evils, the Hon. Gentleman who just spoke had performed. a sort of scanty justice in calling the measure a mitigated mischief and a widow's mite. The speech ,of the Hon. Baronet--(A laugh) —was* not different from the speeches of other Hon. Gentlemen on the same side of the House in representing the distress of the manufacturing districts in glowing, but, in his opinion, exaggerated terms. The Hon. Baronet--(A laugh)—(it was here intimated to the Honourable Baronet that the last speaker, Mr. Buller, was not a Baronet.) Oh, he begged_ pardon; he thought that the Hon. Gentleman had been made a Baronet by the late Government.--(Xuch laughter.) The lion. Gentl emen h a d ta l ked of Tam boll; and the exaggerated statements made by ti i , e N o bl e Lord, the Sec re t ary o f t h e Colonies, with respect to it ; but it must be conceded, from, the fertility of the American States near the 01,lb, w): i i c h h a d b een described in such glowing terms by the Noble Lord the Member for Low_lintli that British farmers would have but little ehroace of competing with them if corn was admitiva ht the low duty advocated by Hon. Gentlemen n' t , posite.—(liear, hear.) He con ceived thei art 'question to be, whether any protection sh ould ...9.orded to agriculture, and if so, to what amount. They had begun at the wrong end. They we r e now discussing what protection should be islvest at .0 agriculture, and w h en i t was decided th that protection would be best afforded by a sliding scale, the Honourable Member for Wol verhalpton would come and ask them to take away all protection whatever.--(Hear.) The consequem e was, that confusion was introduced into their (10)4es, and. two questions mixed together which ought to he kept distinct.--(Hear, hear, hear.) The error into which Hon. Gentlemen had fallen seemed t o him as rabst inseparable from the circumstances of the case. That there should be protection to agriculture he thou g ht the thinking part of the people of I;ogland, had decided. No one could have more respect than he had for public opinion, but the difficulty was to know w hat the public opinion was; —(Hear, hear.) On the whole (and taking it with all its faults he loved it still), he did not know how any fairer representation of public opinion could be taken than the returns to that House. Ile thought it might be fairly argue d that the sound, moderate, and enlightened part of the public opinion was in favour or protection to agriculture. Upon these grounds lio should be most willingto leave the question, had not Gentlemen entered largely into it, who had preceded him. The Hon. Member for Coventry bad interspersed his speech with abuse upon the landlords, and the Hon. Member for Sheffield had talked of their cobweb interests and their flimsey selfishnessi.—(A laugh.) Protection had been given to the landed interest for the last .500 years, and that that had been done with success, he thou g ht was pla i n from the statements of Mr. McCulloch himself. The value, of agricultural produce since 1774 had increased in th'as country to a greater extent than her whole taxation. It was impossible to look at the state of the country, without seeing that there was no Savour extended to any one class in preference to anotlusr, and that there was no favoured interest. " Le:nd and trade," said Mr. Josiah . Childe; a high authority on such a subject, " Land and trade are twins, and must ever exist and fall together. Land cannot flourish but trade will feel it, and trade cannot fall but land will fall illso." This had been quoted so often, that it had, become a truism ; but when be perceived that Hon. Gentlemen on both &des the House, and in each interest, had, during the course of the present de bate attempted to depreciate the importance of the interests to which they were opposed, lie thought it was a truism of which many Honourable Members ought to be reminded.—(Hear, hear.) There was another rut to which he would allude, that of independence of ;,reign supply. He would not deny that, to a cer tain extent, we were dependent upon foreigners but still he contended that every endeavour should be made to avoid being dependent upon foreigners for the staple food of the country.--(Hear.) Agri culture had always been considered infinitely prefesaible to trade or commerce. The Noble Lord had sal th a t there was no authority b ut M a l t h us, who I,.ad . ad vocated an independence of foreign supply. Now, he (Sir W. James) contended that Adam Smith . was also an authority in favour of that position. lie . se.sid that , trade was, in addition to the danger f rom tee winds and the waves, exposed to danger from the folly and in justice of absurd Jaws.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) lie did not think it would be prudent of this country to give up the idea of being in most years independent to a certain extent of a foreign sipply. Besides the l an d bore exclusive burdens. — ("No,' " What?") The laud tax, the county-tax, and the bulk of the Poor -rated wero borne by the land.—(Hear.) If that were not time case he would be prepared to go to a Committee of Inquiry, as proposed by the Houourable Member for Sheffield.— (Hear.) Considering also the various ways in which protection was afforded to th e manufactures, he thought it was undeniably no more than fair to give some protection to the agriculturists.(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches. The Hon. Member then read from the returns a list of the various articles of menu facture which were protected by a duty, and also or some articles of agricultural and colonial produce which were protected by duties.) Now as the Right lion. Barcatet s the First Lord. of the Treasury, had said, if the duty on corn were entirely abolished, it would be necessary to alter our fiscal system. If the protection were taken off corn, it could not be continued linens, cottons, an d t h e like.—(Hear, bear upon , hear.) He (Sir W. Ja mes ) s h ould like to know, if such were the case, how they could raise the revenue, and pay the national debt ; he did not believe it would be possible. James D. Hume had said that if they repealed the duty on corn, they ought to repeal it on all others simultaneously.—(Hear, hear.) He had heard a great deal of talk about the distress in the country, and the effect of the Corn-laws on it ;be (Sir W. James) did not deny that they might have had some effect on the , distress of the country, but that other concurrent and concomitant causes had aimuch greater effect. There was one cause mentioned.by the Right lion. Baronet4whie:u he believed had a great effect, it was the treaty with China and America; the over-issue of paper currency. and the over-trading and speculating which occrored in 1838 were other causes ; and it appeared to.' him (Sir W. James) that the over-issue of paper moraey and de rangement 'of the currency resulted fre,m there not being a sufficient regulation with regard to country bankers. The Honourable Gentlemen opposite had represented this as the landlords' question,ana not as the q ues ti on o f t h e f armers an d labourers.. That appeared to him (Sir W.
