AGRICULTURAL PETITIONS. Petitions relative to the style of Agriculture were resented by Lord SHFFFIKL.D, from certain 'Occupiers of Land in the County ut .Sussex ; by Lord ERSKILsin, from Horsham ; by Duke of GlthrroN, trout the . Cotimy of Sotiolk ; and by (hell:100f itsli swoon, from Doncaster,‘in Yot k shirt. Most of the Noble Lords made some ob servations presenting these petitions ; but, from the crowded state of the Bar, it was not possible .to hear what th e y said. SUNDAY NF.WSPAPEP.S. Lord KewroN pcesented a Petition from a con siderable number of News Venders and others, relative to the sale' and circulation of News papers on the Sabbath day, and Complaining of the injurious effects in certain points of view of the.same. By a calculation to which the Noble Lord referred, no fewer, he observed, than 43,000 of these publications were circulated on the Lord's Day, and seemed to intimate that it was intended to propose some legislative enactment on the sub ject for the purpose of repressing tite evil. Lord HOLLAN,D declared . his intention, if any such Bill WAS presented, of opposing it in every sage of its progress. He was utterly at a loss to conceive upon what ground it was that the prin ciples maintained by some of. the Sunday News papers was put forward as a reason for preventing their circulation.--Were not the Sunday Papers as amenable to the laws as other Journals, if they published any thing improper ? And would it not, therefore, be an odious attack upon the liberty of the press to prevent their cir culation ? The Earl GROsvotiott referred to a motion he had formerly brought forward upon this sub ject in the House of Commons, which had for its object to prevent the circulation of Sunday Newspapers, nod stated that he still .adher ed to the opinion- he then entertained;- but he meant it without any reference whatever to the political principles which those Papers advocated. The Earl of LAUDIIRDALII•thought it right the House should be aware that the object sought by this Petition, of preventing persons being em ployed in Newspapers on a Sunday, would not be answered by preventing the circulation of Sunday Newspapers ; it applied rather to Monday News papers ; all that was requisite for making up a Sunday Newspaper being done on the Saturday, whilst a Monday Newspaper necessatily required the eo.ployment. of the persons connected with it on a Siinday. e l'ekition was ordered to lie on the Table. SLAVE TRADE. Lord Hot. LAND said, he had one or two queries to put to Noble Lords opposite, in some degree connected uith the general subject which would he discussed by their Lordships that evening The first rehted to what bad recently taken place in the way of communication with the new Go vernment of Spain, on the subject of the abolition of the African Iyide. The second respect ed some reAulatinhc which were either made, or Ity the Government of Russia, with re spect to ti iriportati,ut of Sugars front the Bri tish Colonies, which was like y to be of the g reitest in►pt:r(ance to those concerned in that trade. and which also, in some degree, bore upon the subject of the Abolition of the African Slave Trade. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that with re spect to the New Government of Sliain , he had no hesitation in saying that that Government avowed itself ready to fulfil all the engagements entered into by their predecessors in that respect. With respect to the Russian Government, what ever may be the effect of the regulation alluded to reliving to a part of our Colonial produce, the commercial relations between the two countries were likely, ere long, to become a matter of par ticular discussion. CIVIL. LIST. The Earl of .LIVERPOOL delivered a communi cation front his Majesty, expressive of his Illajesty's readiness to accede to Whatever the House might deem an adequate vrovision for the maintenance of the honour and dignity of the Crown, and the support of the Civil Government of the Country. 9i! his Lordship's !notion, an Address to his Ma jesty was agreed to Nem. Ms., thanking Lis Ma jesty for Iris most gracipos communication, and which was ordered to be presented to the King by the Lords with wtme,staves. The Earl of' LlyEttroot, then moved the Order of the •Day for the Commitment of the Civil List Bill, and the [loose resolved itself into a Cum. Lord. DAcua said, he had nn amendment to move in the last clause, which he would bring forwaid, either on the Report or the third rend ing, al was most convenient to Nohfe Lords on the other side. The Object of it was to .rend, itnpi act ;cable any .misapplication of the Droits of Admiralty, or other Fonds vested in the Crown. The Earl of Livecroot. said, as the Report would be made immediwely, the third reading would lie the most convenient stage. 7 - The Bill passed through the Committee, anti wa4 trp.,rteil ,%ithout littleutlmeot. The Lords we; e ordered (C) be summoned fur the third reading on Tuesday. A BS ENTE ES. Lord Viscount BuLir.tmaY referred to A ques ti9„ l ie h a d formerly asked of the Noble Earl 0 1 ,- posit e,as to the practicability of imposing sOfnc tax upon persons quiLking the country, cirber for busi rte‘s or pleasure, and he now•x*ASited to ask the Noble .Earl whether any Means 114 d been disco iyeted of getting rid of the difficulties attending the sttbject. and of imposing n inX tither upon the passport, or, in Some other vv , ty, upon persons o property quitting the country to reside abroad. The E.rl of LlVgainot, said, that the tics of the subject had been found too compli cal to get rid of; and it had then been iinprae tielide to impo se any tarx of the nature pointed out by the Noble Viscount. Lord Itot.Lll urged the expediency, ea WaS Un derstood, of imposing some tax in the liAture 0! a Property 'fax upon persons residing abroad, which would tend aiateri.lly to the relief of the poorer classes. Lord Viscount huLKELF:it said a few words in explanatiu►►, regretting that 6 iax., such as he f►ad suggested, had been found impracticable. Here ti►e conversati►►n dropped. FOREIGN TRADE AND COMMERCE. The Order of the Day upon which their Lord ships were summoned being moved, The Marquis of LANSDOW rose try bring for ward his motion on this subject. He did not, he observed, conceive it to be necessary to consume much of their Lordships' time in justifying.him self under the circumstances for coming forward on a subject of such extreme, such extensive im portance, though he felt satisfied that many Noble Lords couldemore powerfully suppit it than him self. - The subject to which he then felt it his duty to call their Lordships' attention, was one of the most, or rather the most, important rela tion of the country. XVith respect to it, the ho rizon was clouded some years since ; but latterly, he was sorry to say, it wore the darkest and Most ominous aspect. So much so, that Parliament could not stand excused to itself and the country, if they did Hot anxiously inquire with respect to its lamentably deteriorated state. . He would take the liberty to observe, however, that by the in quiry which he was about to propose / he did not mean to check any other which it may be deemed necessary to institute with reference to any other branch of time public concerns. What he was now about to propose in the - way of int - lefty did • not extend beyond the `relations of the foreign trade and commerce of the country; but in so doing he begged it to be understood he slid not cuter upon it with a view to promote the inte rests of any particular body of men. The subject was of that peculiar nature, was so inter woven, he might call it, with natural laws peculiar to itself—laws, which in practice and effect operated more powerfully titan any - upon the sta• lute-bunk ; so much so, that from the moment_ it were attempted to raise op any particular interest at the expense of the others, the attempt would he futile and inellicecious. The long procrasti-. nation of decisive investigation bad indtterd en accumulation of distress._ The (listless certainly • was not exclusively tell by time commercial classes —the Aiiicultural and the Landed Interests were also deeply affected by time course of circionstances and events, and these were tventually connected closely with each other, so that time distress es either of -the Landed- or Coaimercial Interests might have an effect on the manufacturing classes, and those reciprocally on the other branches ; so that it were a species of folly and madness to se parate any of these, so as to prop up or exalt any, one particular class. The case of the Corn Laws appeared to him to furnish a striking Obliteration. It seemed.the opiaidn of many, this country should be rendered independent of supply from foreign countries, as until then : we could not he secure of an adequate supply; but what, he asked, would be the effect of an abundant harvest when the prices were raised above those in foreign countries ? a degree of indescribable calamity and distress would be induced in the year f o ll ow i ng ; b ut this h e allowed was an extreme case ; yet the. possible contingency he was sure would not be lost upon their Lordships. It was also, said by some that the whole prosperity of the country rested on the agricultural interest. With oet going into any speculative -discussion croon ibis point, he could not .avoid saying, that giving all doe importance to the agricultural province, it was the commerce and manufactures of the coun try wade it- great and wealthy ; and upon the same grounds alone it could contieut se ~t his axiom he thought was nude:, able ; they afforded time greatest employment to the greaces! propor tion of the population.; but the want. of employ ment, otethe actual distresses of a minor propor [lot! of that populatiou--say two or three, out of twelve millions of persons, coma not be felt, without eventually that distress being felt by the remaining trine or ten Millions. 'Therefore, all these classes, whether commercial or manufactur ing, were deserving time tostetieg protec , ion of the Legislature. He was averse. from theoretical or speculative distinctions, and lie receitted to the jets of an argioneur once held between two very great men, Dr. Adam Smith and Mm. Burke, in which the latter detnoustrated that more secure chance was to he place() Up 01) practice and noon fads. The result of an expensive and protracted warfare also contributed greatly to the present dis ttessed , state of the cottony, by leaving en un productive population who had no means of sup porting. themselves. To this may be added the increase of debt and diminntion of revenue; all which in a country like this was in the .end felt inut.h numee severely than they could be by .cone tries much poorer, but not liable to such disad aantages. All these considerations shewed 'the necessity of setious inquiry. The petition from Liirmiugham.teelingly poortreyed the• sit oat ion of that part of the country, and so far .toi cibly poieted out the necessity of inquity. In CiPlitelliphfirig the probable remedies, it was held to be advisable to get rid of the prohibitory duties altogether, but to substitute ptoteeling duties, calculated however to - arlatii of the possibili'y of compel The•principle of the Navigation Laws, or heir provisions, %Vas also regarded as a serious consideration. On this point some i , rnong the corrtrafcial classes, once so appfehensive and anx ious upon the poini, - Wet e HOW . desirous of re laxation, and that a greater ft eedom of navigation may be allowed in these respects. Tfis part of . ttre subject ws ditnsible into distinct . 7,•duts.— Each of Which it was held would be ITI , Ne or less advantageous, and afford a bion to , tie Ship owners. .And among these, the freedom of the Transit Trade iron) this country was hell of .pe- * coliar importance. The system be ; contemplated would go to render this country a gentral depot to the vcssels of all nations, anti this cool!! be rendered tally effectual by means of protec•ing duties. In an arrangement of the Transit Trade, .that of the blab Linens would form an importatic consideration. The altered state of the countrs with reference to a change from war to peace would, in a view of this part of the subject, forint au important consideration, and the arrangement be made so as that the linen trade of Ireland way nor be injured by the effect of a relaxation. lie now came to a point which he thought most be the subject of a good deal of discussion ; lie meant die state of the imports from the• North of Europe.-- The high ditties imposed on timber and other arti cles from that quarter were first laid on as part of a permanent system of ,colonial policy; but since that period they were acknowledged to be a tem porary system, and subject to review, in March Earl of LtvEr:PooL—" In March next." The Noble Marquess continued. Those most concerned in the question felt that there was a possibility of advantageously removing the res• frictions, particularly with respect to the naviga. lion of British-built vessels. The mode of doing this, however, be felt was a most important dues. tion. With respect to raw materials, timber par. ticulatly,. a change may be most advantageously made. Timber was now introduced front places at 'much greater distance than those quarters whente it may be got of a much superior quality. He alluded to the North of Europe, (impaled to our American Colonies. Timber was a most important at tide in the commerce of this conotty and particularly as i. respected the paramount -ob ject of ship. building. The whole carrying trade from the Baltic tVaS not half the cost of what that front Canada involved. The rivers which flowed into the Battic afforded a great - advantage iu the removal of timber ; besides, through the channel of the peat fairs iu Europe, the timber so pot. chased would be paitt for wi:b the manufactures of this country. Added to tbii, the freightage from Canada. was very consider thle, greeter than that front the Baltic ; end ti e former traffic went to impose duties to the uremia( of 500,0001. in this country, of the port of London alone paid more than one booth - , ti ehousand pounds. He next adverted 10 it cotl§4l 1 4009 of the high dutit.fs it:tiptoed upon Fttne:t w n s, ro out of pro, portion greater than !Lose pa; „Isle for the winee of Split, and Portugal. M-ny were disposed to admit Cie policy of impotting the Fiench wines at lower duties, on condition of obtainieg terms equally favourable lor tie export of our manufac tures to France. The result, he thought, must be favourable to this emmtry ; though the articles must be paid for its the fitst inotince with buil ! , lion, yet the revenue would be eventually increas ed. He was aware of the provisions of ate treaty with Portugal in 1810, by which certain duties were to be laid on French wine, as that country did upon, our woollens, but that provi. - sion was to be temporary, and subject tn future revision. What lie said with respect to these wines was_ also applicable to silks, and on that - head he thought Pat liament might meke some provisions favourable to the interests of that class of our mattufacturers. He would next advert to a part of the proj..ct in which .the intetest of the ship-o,eners was most materially concerned—he meant the British Trade to the Southetn Hemisphere. That no COuntir was under such restraint as the British ; from the moment our trader Passed the Cape of Good Hope, be found himself embairassed and impeded, not by 1 be.weath.er, not by waves or by tempests —by increased difficulties of navigation—but by the restricting rides of the Statute Book ! It, the important article of Tea, they were precluded al together, ri.t by any result of competition, but by ;be tffect of a gigantic monopoly. He did not thick so harshly' of the Compactly, connect , d es it srood with all the great interests of the Empire., to tH.,e it would set its face against an obviously fair anti advantageous arrangement ; but, bt yond their sphere, -there existed whole foitions, whose commerce could not now be got, save through their medium, countries a hose population exceed. • ed-70-millioes. The Noble Marquess then re. Irrred to the remarks of Mr. Crawfurd, on the commercial advantages held Bout by the Indian Archipelago, and he also alluded to the sentiments of Sir Thomas Ralliei on the se . bject, and io illus trating the peculiar advantages of commercial in . terconese With nations in ao incipient state of viiiz society, he quoted the narrative of Dr. Fraeklin repecting the radvantages which even _wally arose tram the first trot-tided - ion of that article of temnle dres‘, the c , r,itt. soe of the American Set t le mem and :le ex paria: ( 'd in some detail t►n the advantages of an exten.ion'ot Bri tish commerce in the regions beyond the Cape tit Goodliope. .These wooid all result, he argued, from the removal of harsh and impolitic testric eitrs, Hod imparting to those eptarects some at least of the principles of free trade. The carry ing trade between ihe. port of Canton and Or: United States .Was his ttext sithjett 'of ;mimed. version, anti be" expatiated on the ruinons'ef feet: . -the peseta rebtliWre
