The refusal of their Lordships to consent to the appointment of a Com mittee, for the purpose of investigating the causes which have conspired to produce this calamitous state of things, was to-be expected. The inquiry would, neces sarily, be long and laborious, without having in object sufficiently interesting to repay the sacrifice of time which must be taken from aristocratic pursuits ; and the application to which would be at once fatiguing and futile. If the cause of faction could have been served, or the prospect of obtaining a paltry party gratification been held out—as in the Committee appointed by their Lordships to inquire into - the administration of the Irish Government by Lord Normanby—there would have been sufficient motive to stimulate exertion, and sufficient advantage to reward it. But co inquire into the ,distress of the country—to investigate its origin, unit a view to applying relief adequate to its ex tent and severity, and with the ultimate design of providing, a suitable remedy—who would be so unreasonable as to expect anything of the kind? The idea was preposterous, as the Duke- •of Welling ton pretty-plainly intimated. If - Parliamentary decorum, maintained ia their „Lordship's House_ to 'the verge of frigid . etiquette, would have tolerated th.e use of terms so vulgar, the motion,' if not its originator, would have been voted a grievous bore ! With whatever inattention the facts' brought before the House of Lords by Lord •Kinnaird might be treated in that assembly, those facts, with the statements by which the terrible distress of 'the. _country was illustrated and proved, will make their due impression out of doors. 'Though the sufferers, .spread over,the face of the country, but congregated in masses in the mandfaCturing districts, fail to' Obtain 'the eat - of the Lords—though, under the Leadership of. a Wel lington, and countenanced by a Richmond,_the Member of the Peerage who brings the lamentable tale of public suffering before their Lordships fails to obtain an atten-: tive hearing, and is compelled to withdraw his motion in sheer despair of taking anything by -pressing it to a divi sion—the effect upon the country is not lost. When we • find this determined disposition shown to refuse inquiry, and so much soreness displayed lest the exchisive in terests of the landoa ners should be brought fn question by the inquiry asked fur, or even alluded to, however •incidentally, in the course of a speech in which the dis tresses of the manufacturing population are exhibited,. we cannot help suspecting that there is secret 'mis ! giving as to the possibility of much longer preserving, for the doubtful advantage -of a class, a policy which ; works certain and incalculable mischiefs to the • com munity. STANDARD.—The House of CoMmOns did not sit last night, and for anything useful that passed in the higher House of Parliament, that noble assembly might as well have given itself ,a similar relaxation. Lord Kinnaird moved for a Committee to inquire. into the causes of the. present distress, with the expectation of u ithdrawing his motion, which expectation was of course realised ; but also with the purpose of making a long speech, which his Lordship had the power to execute. He made his speech, in which he condemned the Queen's letter—condemned the relief given by the Government to the sufferers at Paisley—condenined the Corn-laws—con demned the patience of.the people—in short, condemned everything of which wise and good men approve. He was answered. at some length by the Duke of Wellington, who defended all that the Noble Lori denounced. Lord Radnor consistently supported his friend Lord Kinnaird's motion. A short debate followed, in which the Duke of Richmond, Lord Western, Lord Clanricarde, Lord Monteagle, Lord Brougham, and Lord Fitzgerald took part ; but Lord Kinnaird and Lord Radnor found themselves unsupported by any one, and the motion having served its purpose, was, as we have said, withdrawn. Some speeches deserve attention from their eloquence, or from the ingenuity, the force, or novelty of their arguments. - Lord Kinnairu's speech challenges notice by the opposite qualities in all respects—it was not eloquent, as all who know his Lordship will easily believe, and its arguments were a hash of the thousand times refuted common-places of the Anti-Corn-law League, put so unhappily together as to expose altogether ludicrously their weakness and inconse quence. The Noble Lord's quarrel with the Queen's letter is curious. It is not addressed to the teachers of dissenting, congregations. We. know not how these teachers will receive the complaint that they are not placed under the authority of the executive ; but such a complaint is strongly at variance with their professed ab horrence of a connexion with the State. What has the Queen to do with the teachers of dissenting congrega tions as such ? As Qitcsn, she owes protection to all tier subjeets, • whatever their religious professions; but she can exercise specific authority only over those 'over whom "the laws have given her authority.

He concurred in the - prayer of. the • petition, which he considered was entitled to their Lordship.' -grave attention, as it came from, perions who were alt6gether tiro stid, and who had the hen opportunities of forming a correct estimate of the effect of the present System: The Law of- Evidence ImprOvement Bill, and the Fines and Recover y (Wales and Chester) Bill, were each read a third time and passed. . Tlmi vAnstralia and New Zealand Land Bill went Committee.thr AFFAIRS .IN AFGHANISTAN. I:Ord - BEAUMONT rose, pursuant' to notice, to pre sent: a petition .from. the Indini Committee of the Colonial Society,• praying for the production of docuthents re lating. to the origin of the war .in Afghanistan. The petitioners- expressed their deep r egre t, th a t th e boundary between the dominions of Ru ss i a , an d th e ter ritories -- of Great Britain in the East, had been thrown- open ; when they had already seen Turkey wade war - and left without assistance, until she 'was completely broken down :beneath the power of, Russia: -- They saw • the Caspian swept of the flag of Persia, anti- the influence of Russia so es . tablished us to be able to turn the attention of Persia as a part of her hereditary territory, and to cause - a second attack to .be made upon He • rat, in spite of the, remonstrances of England. If the papers which he had seen were correct, their in formation went to confirm the suppositirn' that there had been a willingness on •the part of llost Mahommed to form an alliance with the - British Gtwernment ; but that the Russian Envoy arrived before communications could be received, and the conSeqtience was, that Doit Ma hommed entered into communication with St. Peters burgh, and an alliance was. formed with Runjeet Sing, who was to attack Shalt Sooj a h and commence the, war its Affghanistan. The result of thus had been but too disastrous: The production of .those papers would prove whether the English had lost all their influence in Affghanistun. He believed that the English had ample means of repelling the attacks, and preventing the in juries which had occurred. But this part of the war he would not dwell upon, it was to the commencement of the war that the prayer of the petition referred. It prayed for the production of documnts relative to Runjeet Sing and Shah Soojah. It might be said that it was not usual to produce to Parliament these documents, but it Must he remembered that an immense power was de, legated to the President of ?the .Board of Con troul, and therefore the Parliament had a right to ask some explanation of the line of conduct which he had pursued. lie had the 'power of making peace or declaring war in India, and therefore it was but right that he• should be called upon to give an explanation when it was required by Parliament. The war in India was set forward'as a kind of gilding to the pill of the Income-tax, and the_people of England had for this reason also a right to an answer. He .thought he had stated enough to justify the petition, but if it was found inconvenient for any reasons to. give those despatches, he would abstain from asking .for them, at the same time • holding himself disengaged to renew the subject when those reasons ceased. He should, thetefore, move that the petition be laid On the table. ORMSBY INCLOATRE BILL. A conference was appointed'hy the House to meet the conference of the House of gormapnss to discus's the amendmentS on' ° _ Lord FITZGERALD said that he did not think their their Lordships would wish, or the. Noble Lord himself' expect, that he should folloW the . Noble Lord into the various topics Which he introduced in the course of. his speech, especially as t•he petition he had presented only came from the - Secietary of a Society of which their Lordships • had beam but little—(Hear, hear)—and on which he did not propose to found any motion. It would be unbecoming and unfair in him (Lord F.), holding the position he did, were he induced, in the present imperfect state of their in formation from India, and of the position of their army there, to enter into a discussion so premature and ill timed. It was not for him (Lord F.)' to defend the policy of the meire,ures the Noble .Lord complzined of.— When that policy came under discussion, he would not he would not hesitate to express his opinion of it, but it would be enough for • him to defend the policy, which the present Government would in future recommend.—(Hear, hear.) Yet-he hardly thought the Noble Lord did justice to thoSe who recommended the course of policy he complained of, when he stated that Parliament and the *country were ignorant of the motives upon which the late • Government acted. He - was not giving any opinion, but with the volume he held in his band, he thought the Noble Lord could hardly- make that statement The Nobl e L or d h a d , i n the course of his observations, 'aid too broad a foundation for the superstructure that he had afterwards raised ; for in presenting . a petition from a private society . he hail not prep : arid a foun dation fOr tha discussion of a propos! th in relative to the whole of the policy of England as connected with Russian Turkey and Central Asia. IN Must say that the feeling's which the Noble Lord had expressed relative to the hostility of Russia to this. country were feelings which her M a je s ty's. GoVerntrient did not share with ;he Noble- Lord. There never was a •period at which in the relation subsisting between Russia and 6reat Britain. With respect to Turkey and the East there existed more: confidence and more amicable feeling, and there was no country in the gpd • success titan iniAl b ‘s e •o e r n ld a i e n ti w n i g lie y‘ h it t i l l ie m di o p r l e on c i o n r t t i i e ja ne y nts of both eonntricS had the agents of those conntries later' at the Court of 'Te heran. This much h e • (Lord - -Fitzgerald). thought it necessary to say, for: the purpose •of allaying those ap- ' prehensiong, from - Whatever quarter they might Mr. HAYTER brought up the Report of the Belfast Committee. The Report stated that James Emerson Tennent and William Johnson, Esqrs., were not duly elected to serve as Members for the borough of Belfast, and that the election was void. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he would, on Monday, move for the suspension of the writ, and for an inquiry into the corrupt compromise by which gross bribery, multiplied perjury and personation to a great ex tent were prevented from being investigated. LEEDS I MPR VE ME N TBILL. Mr. G. KNIGHT moved that the Committee on this Bill have leave to make a special Report. DEPTFORD PIER BILL. Sir J. HANDIER brought up the Report on this Bill, which was ordered to be engrossed: . 'On the motion of Captain WEMYSS, the Burntisland and Granton Pier Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, the Liverpool Borough Court Bill was read a third time, and passed. On the motion of Mr. MILES, the Lords amendments to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway Billovere agreed to. LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY (GRANGE ROAD APPROACHES.) The RepOrt on this Bill•was brought up, and ordered to be engrossed.' H.. , • Mr. CLIVE: moved the consideration of the Report on the London and Croydon Railway Grange-road Ap proaches Bill. • Sir E. KNATCHBULL opposed the bringing up of the Report, and moved as an amendment that it should be taken into further consideration that day three montM. Lord MARSIIAM seconded the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet. . Mi. KEMBLE said he had heard a great deal about a breach of faith on the part of the Croydon Com pany, and a variety of oth er c h arges aga i nst t h em, but he .should not occupy the attention of the House by alluding to them now, as the question to be considered now was, whether the forms of the House had been complied with. He thought that consistently with the forms of the House, if the Bill had not passed through the requisite forms, it could - not .now :be in its present shape.—(Hear, :hear.) The facts were those :—The .Croydon Railway originally petitioned. for leave to .bring . in, a Bill, fir the _purpose. .0t forming a road. He. (Mr. Kemble) was. on that.Cort mittee, and the Committee. was of opinion that the question they had to consider was, whether thiS was to be a Common Road Bill or a-Railway Bill ; - if a Rail way Bill, then the forms of the House had not been com plied with ; and they consid e r e d, i n a smuc h as t h e wor d depot had been introduced, it must be a railway. The Croydon CoMpany appealed to the Committee of Stand ing Orders, when the former decision was confirmed. He then brought in another Bill—that Bill had been acceded to, and was now in the condition in which it appeared before the House. • From a paper which he held in his hand, it appeared that the Green wich Railway Company w ere of opinion that it was, the intention, and within the power of this Com pany to use the land they required under the Bill for a • railway or a depot, but as they said it was only for a, road that they went before Committee, the Greenwich Company did • not see any 'grounds for op-, posing them there. He should like to know what grounds they had now ? . It was the instruction of his Hon. Friend on his right, at the third reading of the. Bill, to introduce a clause • -to pre vent them making this road into a railway. They had been told by eminent counsel that they could not make. it into a railroad, and they had no intention of doing so ; they had no objection, therefore, to the intro duction of a clause to let the House understand that-they had no power or desire to make anything but a read. Under these circumstances he shohld certainly oppose the motion of the Right.. Hon. Gentikrian. He trusted. the House would support the Bill, and, if a division took place, that a large majority would appear-in its faronr. Mr. STRUrr said, that as. Chairman of the Com. mittee which recomtnemlud the house to grant:•per mission to the Committee to introduce their Bill, he wished to say a l'ew• - words. ly the coin mittve had supposed that such claims as appeared in the Bill were intended to have been introduced they never would have recommended the house to grant permission of the Bill being introduced. It was under stood that this was to be a mere Road Bill for the access - of carriages and carts .to the terminus of the railway, but as clauses were proposed to be introduced to erect bridges, and otherwise level the roads that a railway was contemplated. Had the Committee been aware of this they certainly would not have made the recommen dation they did. If the House allowed this Bill to pass, it would be setting - a .dangerous precedent _in allowing clauses to •be produced in a Road Bill for the construction of a railway. He must say that it appeared to him that the'se s parties had not adhered to the original Bill of which alone they received the indulgence Of the House in being: allowed to introduce the Bill. , Under these circumstances, he felt it his duty to support the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet. Mr. DARB•Y considered that the opposition to this - Bill by the Greenwich Railway Company, was for the purpose of establishing a monopoly on their own parts. If the House rejected this Bill, it - would in fact be decid ing that no person should come to London by railway from Dover, Tunbridge, Croydon, or Brighton, except by the Greenwich line. Mr. WILSON PATTEN would, on the third reading of the Bill, move the insertion of a clause prohibiting the Company from laying down rails on this line of road without again applying to Parliament. Mr. CHILDERS objected to the introduction of any provisions into this Bill, enabling the Company to make preparations fur turning it into a railroad at some future period. If a westend terminus for the Croydo n Rail way were desirabl e , l e t the Company bring in a Bill for that purpose ; but the terminus of the proposed road was quite as far from Westminster Bridge as the pre sent terminus. WATERFORD ELECTION COMMITTEE. It being now nearly five o'clock the names of the Members chosen to serve on the Waterford • Election Committee were called O ver as follows :--J. Jervis, Esq., Captain Boldero, Admiral Deans Dundas, E. H. A'Court, Esq., J. 11. Vivian, Esq., Viscount Somerton, J. W. Hogg, Esq., chairman. •,„ • When the Hon. Members came to the table to be sworn, it was discovered that Viscount Somerton was absent. The other Members then withdrew from the table. The following Members were then called t o th e t a bl e , to be sworn in, to serv e on the Athlone Election Com mittee :—the Hon. G. C. Forestsr, Sir B. Hall, B. Bottield, Captain Vechell,• J. Hornby, Esq., Sir James Duke, E. Divett, Esq., Chairman. Sit James Duke not appearing to answer to his name, Lord GRANVILLE SOMEIWET said, he under stood that Sir James Duke was. suffeAng from severe indisposition, and that his medical . 40itn t'eitaSitl attendance to be examined. He therefore moved tha,t4e medical • man be.called in.—Agreed to; The motion having been agreed to, Mr. J. Bainbridge, the medical gentleman in attendance on Sir J. Duke, Was then called 1,11 anspn. ansWer to questions from the SPEAKER, stated'thftt Sir J. Duke was at present very ill, though not dangerot4 so;; that he thought it would be dangerous for him to attend an Election Committee, as he was suffering from a soro'throat, which he was ap prehensive might turn into.searlet fever.- He had gone 'out of doors yesterday, but he was not so well to day. The witness was otdered to Withdraw, and On the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET; the order fur the- Committee was discharged, to be re ferred back to the Committee of Selection, on their first day of meeting (Monday next.) WATERFORD COMMITTEE. The Members composing the Waterford Committee were again called tp the table, and Viscount Somerton being still absent, Lard G. SOMERSET moved, that the Sergeant-at- Arms be ordered to take the Noble Viscount into custody.—Agreed to. - CROYDON RAILWAY BILL. The debate on th e C roy d on R a il wa y was • then re sumed. Mr. ESCOTT complained that the Standing Orders were not complied with in this case. Mr. RICE said that the main object fur which the House had to consult, was the convenience of the public. That was an object 'much more important than the squabbles of railroad companies. • Mr. ATWOOD would vote for stopping the further progress of the bill. _ _ Mr. LABOUCHERE would vote against - the further progress of the Bill, in consequence of the Standing Orders of the House not being complied Avith. Mr. GREENE opposed the Bill. The House then divided, when there appeared,- - For the reception of the Report BB For the amendment Majority fier the amendment.— —6O ORMSBY INCLOSURE BILL.

CASE OF MR. BIDDLTLPH. . . The Marquis of NORMANBY wished to correct a misapprehension which had gone abroad as to what be: had said last: evening . en the subject of Mr. Biddulph's case. It was supposed that he had - expressed himself as satiified that no. blame attached. to the Lord Chancellor,, or. the. Lord Chief. .Justice, nor either to the Noble. Lord at the head of the Irish GovernineninenL. What he had said was, that no blame could attach to either . :of thoSe Judges, and that whilst he did not *blame. his Noble. Friend, the Lord Lieutenant, vet he regretted that his Noble Friend should not blame the Attorney and Solicitor-General for .leav ing him in ignorance;- but he alio said that he hoped that what had occurred would prevent his Noble Friend from allowing himself - to be kept in ignorance in future. • The Earl of RIPON had understood his Noble Friend to say -that he entirely acquitted . the Lord Chief Justice, the/40'rd Chancellor,-and the - Lord Lieutenant, but that the Miele blame lay with the Law Officers of the Crown. The Marquis of NORMANBY had said more than simply that, for 'he had expressed his regret that his Noble Friend did not blame the Attorney.. General for keeping hilm,in ignorance, whereas he had expected his Noble Friend:to expreSs great indignation on the subject. The Earl-of CLARENDON gave notice that on Mon • day next be would present an important petition f rom the Cape of Good Hope: •- POOH-LAWS. ING, JUNE 3, F 49. H 0 USE OF COMMONS.

He deprecated any discussion on these topics. If papers had been withheld by Govern ment, it was because the exigency of the public service required it. If the Noble Lord had moved for the production of papers on the subject, he (Lord Fitzgerald) should have been prepared to :resist the motion. He would content himself, in conclusion, with observing that he trusted the Noble Lord would not think it necessary to renew this discussion, which it was most desirable should be avoided. Lord BEAUMONT expl.tined. He had merely stated that he believed that certain papers had been withheld by the Government, without the production of which no accurate information on the subject could be obtained. Lord FITZGERALD was not able to give the Noble Lord the satisfaction which he desired, of hearing that there was a likelihood of a war with Russia. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table as the petition of Mr. Whitby. The House then adjourned to Monday.

THE BISHOP OF QUEBEC. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said that he understood that when a brother officer of his died in Canada during the course of last year, the officers of his regiment had re quested permission to erect a tablet to his memory, in the Cathedral of Quebec, which permission had been refused by the Bishop. He wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the ColonLs, if he had heard of any refusal on the part of the Bishop of Quebec to permit the erection of a tablet to the memory of an officer of the 2d Grenadier Guards, in the Cathedral Church of Quebec, and if he had seen copies of any cor respondence between the BiShop of Quebec and the t.,fficer commanding the troops in Canada on the subject. Lord STANLEY said the only information he had r;ceived on the subject was, from common report upon what had passed elsewhere on the subject ; and with re gard to the correspondence, he was not sware of its ex istence until that Hon. Gentleman had informed him of it. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY would on Monday repeat the question to the Secretary at War, as he was aware there was a correspondence on the subject at the Horse G nards.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY . wished to put a question to the• Right lion. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, connected with one of the provisions of the measure he had proposed, for making some altera tion in the Poor Law Amendment Act, on which he had reason to believe that great misapprehension prevailed in different parts of the country. In the original Poor Law Amendment AO, by the Interpretation Act, a general order was defined to be one that the Poor Law CoMmis sioners w,re empowered to issue to' more than one Union at a time, and that any order of the kind should come under the inspection of the Secretary of State f o r the Home Department and be .reported to . Parliament. In a clause in the new Bill, enacting certain alterations in the law, the power of the Commissioners with respect to issuing such orders was restricted. lie had reason to believe that this clause had produced an impression, that by it these 'general ' orders . would be made universally appli cable, and that they would :take effect where they did not now take effect under the existing law. It .%% as therefore desirable that-the Right Hon. Baronet should slate distinctly the real intention of this provision of the Bill. Sir JAMES- GRAHAM rose, and «as [LEFT SPEAKING.] IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 2. THE DISTRESS OF TIIE COUNTRY Lord KINNAIRD (in continuation) proceeded to say— The amount of labour thus withdrawn from the workinc , classes could not but be very large. One. fourth of the whole trade was with America ; up to September 1841, linen was admitted to the United' States free, but after that a " duty of 20 per . cent. was imposed, and a Bill was then Tending. in Congress, placing a duty of ten per cent. extra on the manufac tures of countries that iLd not take American produce. 'As to Brazil too, they kept up a high duty on sugar, and the Brazilians, acting on their beautiful example as to the .Corn-laws, would retaliate, and then what would be come of the linen trade. He would repeat that 25,0001 had been already distributed among the people of Paisley by the Committee, in the district of which four or five villages in the neighbourhood were included. For the town of Paisley alone- the expense of supporting the people was 800/. a week, for the villages 1001. One of the reasons assigned forstaking the power of distribution out of the hands of the Committee was, that it had been rather extravagant. But what had the Commissioner who had been sent down done ?. Why hp had merely cut off the neighbouring villages from the benefit of the distribution; and now in these towns there were nearly 900 persons going about in gangs begging, and that was their only mode of subsistence. They had no other, be cause the local subscriptions were stopped. Ile wished also to call the attention of. their Lordships to a re turn drawn up by persons appointed to examine into the state of Leeds, , which showed than the average weekly income of 9,000 persons was only Is. Every trade wts in the same state of distress, and, such being the case, he would ask what had bet') done to alleviate it: Absolutely nothing. Nothing had been . done to eantu rage inquiry. This had not come upon them unawares; since 1828 it had been coming on ; and it was impo-sible, therefore, for her Majesty's Ministers to say they wet e not aware of it. What had been done to remedy this? Why, a Corn-law had been paved, and what had been the result of that? Why, t'' at wheat had risen 3s. a qua, ter.—( Hear, hear.) The next thing that had been subtritted for the adoption of the House was an Income-tax, which was. absurd, because the means of the people to consume had been cosup'etely exhausted. The next measure from which relief was promised was the Tariff. He thought it was' impessible • for any min to say upon 'what principle that measure was framed. There was, in tact, no settled principle. 'I he small trades, such as the making of slices and gloves, were attacked the moo cot they were suffer ing distress. What was the consequence? Why, the price of gloves abroad were raised, so that the people at home would derive no benefit from the reduction of the duty. It would be better to leave those articles alone, and attack the great mono polies of corn and sugar, which would con'er great benefit on those whom their Lordships praised for their patience under suffering and distress. Vs hen parties came to him ( Lord Kin naird ) and complained of their distress, he said that if he saw his children perishing around him for want of food, and those who were in gaol better provided for than those who were both wil ling and able to work if they could get it, he would rather at tempt to telp himself with the food his neighbours possessed— ( Laughter. )—yes, those who could themselves roll along at this end of the metropolis without seeing any of the misery of the people might laugh, but let them listen to the reason he got for the people enduring such distress with so much patience. The answer he received was this " if the bread had been taken from you suddenly, say to-morrow or the next day, you would have done that, but if you were gradually reduced to starvation, and weakened away by not getting frod, your energies: would be so sunk, that you would not care to see even your children perish ing aroundynu." That was the truth, and he wished to fin press it on their Lordships mind. He was quite ready to go with a Committee to those places where distress existed, that ocular demonstration might convince them of what the people • were suffering, all of which he' thought was o sing to unwise legislation. From what he saw, be feared he should fail to get their Lordships to grant the inquiry for which he was anxious, but he felt it was his duty to urge in the s congest manner he could, the importance of the subject, and to pray their Lord. ships to think of it. He would adjourn the debate if they liked till they had time to make further enquiry; and if he tkought there were theslightest chance of his getting the Com mittee, he would not press his motion now. He would show to the House what he and ethers considered necessary-extended mar kets. Ile had been in communication with one intimately con nected with the American trade, and who had particularly attended to this matter; and he assured him (Lord posse) that there was an opening there for European manufactures - , which was quite -beyond belief. On the hanks of the Missis ' sippi and the Ohio, were nine United State, and it witted ap :Fear from their census of 1840, that the population there was 5,499,892; two of those Stases principally grew cotton for our markets, and the other States were purely agricultural, and there was not a single manufacture carried on, except that of some coarse stuff for trousering. These persons put the produce of their farms Ott rafts of weed,-and floated it down the Missis• sippi to New Orleans; they wished to make arrangements to exchange that produce for mantfactured articles, and if they could not get rid of what they brought down, of course they could not take back the necessaries which might be expected from England to New Orleans. Besides this, there was at Tennessee a kind of sour flower, which was most serviceabl e i n manufactu r e s; and when the Corn-law was passed, lie should have wished to have moved that-that sour flower should be ad mitted.--( A laugh.) Perhaps they do nut know the use of that flower. There was:upwards of 100,000,000 quarters of flour used every year in England for stiffing c!othes and particular kinds of stufls, and the sour flower of Tennessee would be just as available for that purpose as the good flour, he believed that even if a million of quarters of that sour flour were admitted annually, a great benefit would be conferred on the mat.ufacturing classes. lie asked of their Lordships to re lease the country from the pressure of selfish impositions, to unfetter industry, and to give labour a free competition aid its reward. That was all they asked; it was not charity for which the people were ceding. They asked to be allowed to take their labour to the best market; and he would tell their Lordships that if they continued to refuse that demand, fearful, indeed, would - be the consequences. He would take the liberty of warning their Lordships, although a young Member ; and warning from any quarter should rot be despised. He begged h are to say, that in the statements lie had made, he had no wish to make an attack upon the Government; and if he had been betrayed into any expresSions of asperity, he begged leave to apologise for the unininten:ional offence which he might have given. The Noble Lord- concluded by moving fora Corn niitte to inquire into the causes of the present state of general distress. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not complain of the course adopted by the Noble Lord, but he should not follow his exaeriplo in advet Wig to a variety of topics to prove facts which nobody could deny. No doubt every body admitted the existence of distress in the manufacturing nistricts of the country, and it seemed to b the opinion of the Noble Lord that. that distress might exterid . tO the agricultural districts also. The Noble Lord had made - certain observations on the mea sures which had been adopted by her :V.lttj sty's Government for the relief of that dist' es. It was certainly true that it it was not exactly consistent with principle to send down pe cuniary assistance to any particular part of the country, but yet it had been practised at different times, and the law itself re cognised the principle to some extent by authorising the lev) ing of rates in aid. In Scotland the power of granting relief under the Poor-law was not tso extensive as it was in this country, and large subscriptions had been raised for the relief 'of that distress, and her Majesty's. servants had thought it expedient to adopt measures to extend the means of relie,f not only to that part of the country, but to every part of the country that required relief.. Her 'Majesty's Government had recom mended the adoption of that course which had been adopted in former times, namely, that her Majesty should write a letter to the Archbishop of Caaterbury. He underetoed that th at course had be ii approved of on a former gecation r Lord KIN N IRD—I never ex p res ei t e n v app o val of if. e Ihe „Duke of WELLINGTON had u re l e rs,ood that tn at ecure.e had been aperoved of on a f ormer occas i on , bat rime It . appeared that that course was not apposed ot, because the aP:, plication was confined to one class perscns. If the dergl: l l . the Church Establishment here to be:aeked to use their i! : f e l .e core to induce their congregations to come forward to relieve the exstir g distress, the appeal must be made in the churce!:. and to those ever whom they might be supposed to have in_ a fl ence in their patishes. The Noble Lord had found r . dt because the application had not been made to other perse'• He (the D u k e o f Wellington) dirt not know to whcna the letter could have been so fittingly addressed as to the bishop of Canterbury, and her Majesty had come forward and generously subs cr ib e d a l arge stun h erse l f—( Ch eers) — an d her example had been followed by those holding office under Lei t° Government. He (the Duk e o f W e lli ngton ) h a d stated ba that the distress had been admitted in both Houses of Par" a meet, and then the Noble Lord said he desired to have 2 Cw; mittee. A Committee f or w h a t? T o i nqu i re i nto t h e cau se s ' of the distre s s ; and h e meant to pro d uce papers b e f ore that Committee. But it was usua l f or N o bl e L ords, in rnovicgt.l°l, such Committees, to st a t e w h a t t h e o bj ect was, arid to w"' point the Committee was to go. Why, this was to be a C mittee which, after the examination of the Noble Lord's culations, was to recommend the repeal of the Corn-law' ( Hear, hear)—which had passed and become law within short period. If their Lordship wished to repeal the Co - laws, let a Bill be int ro du ce d f or t h at purpose, b.* don't let them begin by moving for a Cormoilt which would only have the effect of exciting the country. they were to have an alteration of the law, let them have it . ter a full dis c ussion ; b u t d on ' t l e t t h em b eg i n b y creating Piet excitement in the cusery by exa g gerated statements of ell' scriptions, and the n come t o the discussion of the new C° law. The Noble Lord then blamed her Majesty's Governmi n for not having attended to the subject in time. Why her jetty's Government had been in office since the beginning September, and from that time to the present he would jest r cite a few of the measures which they had brought forward, a which had become the law of the land. He would also mice to the diplomatic and other measures which had been broug forward, with a view to relieve the distress that existed; a' having done so, he would then ask whether it was fair to c° '; down with such a propositi on as t h e present, f oundedon such arg,,u meets as had been used by the N o ble L or d, a n d cast bl ame or, Government. The Government first introduced the measure upon their Lordships' t a bl e , an d w hi c h would be discu ss next week ; a measure which had for its object the resters' Lion of the income of the country, the permanent income the country, so that it might be capable of defraying b , permanent expenditure. By this measure they hoped t"!' establish the finances of th e coun t ry on t h e o l d b asis, of 1101° sufficiency of funds to defray the expenses and interest :t the National Debt. This, he hoped, would . restore '4 finances of the country to the basis on which they og e always to h ave steod; end, inasmu c h as th e commerce o f t's country was, in some degree, dependent upon its eredit, sore - thing would also be done for the service of commerce. tides this, they should also be enabled. to repeal the taxes several articles; among them, taxes on articles of raw rial used in manufactures, and this would have the eff( improving their condition. The taxes they should be al take off on articles of consumption, would also have the of relieving the distress, and producing a beneficial effect commerce. According to the declaration of her 1 speech, the GovernMent were engaged in negotiattonsit ties for the extension of the commerce of the country. these treaties her Majesty's Government had been ens various political arrangements, having for their object to blish peace in the world, and to restore the commerce 0 country. Before the Government came into office peace had to a certain degree, restored in the Levant; it had been si' tirely established. It had been restored in- Portugal and and those parts of Asia which were under the Governs this country. Efforts were beingemade to restore it in Asia, in China, and in the United States. He thong these things would have the effect of improving the sit mit the manufacturers. He thought the Noble Lord might waited for the result of these measures before he moved Committee, which most excise the discontent of one part • community. The speech of the Noble Lord might have made on a motion for a repeal of the Corn-laws. He that their Lordships would meet the. motion with _a nel leaving it to the Noble Lord to bring forward a speck tion for the repeal of the Coru-laws. The Earl of RADNOR thought the Noble Duke h acted with his usual fairness in attributing words to his' Friend, which he hid .not used.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord said the object of his Noble Friend was to get a rel... the Corn-laws. but there was nothing in his Noble Fr' speech from which the Noble Duke could draw such a stun --(Hear, hear.) He had scarcely used .the word law in the course of his speech. His Noble Friend's ergs was that the distress of the country ought to be inquired im (Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend might or might not thin Corn-law the cause of that distress, but he (Lord itad certainly thought it was. However, it was not now the tion. The -Noble Duke also complained of the observatie his Noble Friend with regard to the Queen's letter, but Noble Friend in his ( Lord Radnor's) opinion, justly ,f; fault with it as being inadequate to meet the distress et country. He also found fault with the advances of money made to relieve the d.stress of Paisley and other , He thought that was a grave matter, and one which shout, further inquired into.--( Hear, hear. )' He recollected when made a motion with a similar object to relieve the distress; Spitalfields, the Noble Lord opposite said that such a mode proceeding was irregular. But surely if a Committee ' appointed, and it w re proved satisfactorily that the Corn were the cause of the tietre,s, the Noble Duke himself not object to their repeal. Arld could the. Noble Duke it; Confidence that they were not the cause of the distress Noble Duke talked 'of the war in Syria, And peace estahl shed there by the present'Government— The Duke of WELLINGTON—I said the very contrary The Earl of RADNOR so understood the Noble DO The Noble Duke said that peace was more come established since the advaneesnent to power of the press' Government.; but he (Lord Radnor) thought that peace established bef o re that ; an d st ill mare , h e understood that t i was greeter distu' hence in the East since the Noble came into otEce (Laughter.) S e ain and Portugal-also just as, peaceable Lefere the present Government cline .office, and there .could be no doubt that the distress to country was not diminished since they came into cffics ( Haar, hear ) The Noble Duke said they should wait to the effects of the other .measures of the Government.' It • easy fortheir Lordships to talk of patience but her people living on Sail a sleek to %%sit ? The object of his Friend was, that Government should give an car to the elaints and an eye to the sufferings of the eeople, and them relief. It was not, therefore, fair to say, that his re was to set one class against another. His Noble Friend he was aware of that distress, and had documents to pro' and he should, therefore, sup; ort themotion if his Noble - Fr The Duke of WELLINGTON explained. He had state d that peace had been established to a certain extent the present Government came into office, and that since it. been consolidat e d. H e s h ou ld a f ro o b serve, that the ob j ec t the' Noble Lord, throughout his who!e.speech, as it are to him, was to repeal the Corn-laws. The Duke of RICHMOND said, that after the Noble Lrs statements relative to the cornmerceof America, it was ea he could mean nothing but a clap trap fur the repeal of Core-laws. All great changes only produced alarm is country, and alarm would serve but to aggravate the dle that now prevailed. He (the Duke of Richmond) felt tor suffering countrymen as strongly as the Noble Lord did, lit they appointed a Committee, without seeing that some would result from it, they would be but creating excite among the people, and thereby aggravating their distrett. did not attack the motives of his Male Friend, but he tended that he had permitted himself to be made the the Anti-Cote-law League. The idea that there had bestirs. late, a less consumption of meat, was purely theoretical. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was astonished at concluding:entence of.the speech of his Noble Friend, It bren stated by all the authorities, including Mr. Porter Mr. Tooke, that there had beers a great decrease in the ' 'irruption of meat. If his Noble I': iend pressed his motinl a division, he would vote with him ; but he would ream him net to do so, because it took in too great a range 0 1 quiry, to be embraced in the Committee. Lord WESTERN thought it most extraordinary that ' tweuty.sixth }ear of p; ace the revenue of the country shot such a condition as to render it necessary to resort to.. come tax. He hoped that some inquiry would- be instil' into the cause of such a state of things. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the inquiry proposed be most desirable, because he thought it would he unadve to give any colour to the statement that they had refused quiry into the distresses of the people. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the Govern had, from the moment it came into power, been doing 4 1 it could to relieve the commerce of the country; and all ~f wi-hed was that their Lordships would wait to see the e ffect ° it those measures, an d if t h ey did not answer the purpose , „e would then be compet en t f or N o bl e L ords to introduce a"' other measure that should be thought necessary. Lard KIN NAIRD said that as he found this motion likely to meet with very little support from their Lordships! b : thought it advi s abl e to w i thdraw it. On a future occasion i. w i • e e oule call thei r att ent i on specially to the subject of the oh' afforded to certain towns by the Government. The Duke of RICHMOND said in explanation, that althong one of his o bj ect i ons to t h e motion of the Noble Lord W 35 the it would tend to unsettle the agricultural interests of the try, he thought there were many other reasons why their Lot; ships should refuse to grant the proposed Committee. sl Lord FITZGERALD was not surprised to find that tehe Noble Duke was anxious that hie motives seould not be 11515 `, 1- , presented.
