Lord ELIOT said that he could not give any other answer than the one lie' had given on a pie-. vious occasion. He thought the practice of holding out inducements to persons to give evidence was in itself objectionable; but in the present state of Ireland he did not think it could be safely discon tinued. At present there was great difficulty of pro curing evidence, arising from the reluctance of wit nesses to expose themselves to the friends and relations of the accused party. He hoped, however, that the growing feelings of security in the law and in its ad ministration would, in time, render it unnecessary to continue the practice, but if it were at once and altoge ther discontinued, hewas afraid that many crimes would remain altogether unpunished. With regard to, the cases alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman, it was Im possible for him to give an, definite answer. DISTRESS OF _ME COUNTRY. G.

Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods. begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the original cost, the object being to clear the whole off the premises by the 25th of March, and any portion then remaining must of necessity be removed to the auction-rooms. Ladies are solicited to make allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, con se iluently unused to this metliodof selling„ over the counter. The following is about the reduction intended to be made :- Tl,e linens, being the larger portion, will be reduced a: under :- a ,730 pieces of Irish linen , mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is.

The respectable family trade carried on for thirty years at this es talf.ishment rendered it necessery to keep none but fi e and warranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances, usual on selling off stock., of risking the durability. Fifty pieces of linen sheting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair-those at 10s. FA., being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found inconvenient, a further reduction will be made in the price. The table cloths, although of the finest description,are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yard? long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked front Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards 'ong, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than 30s.

The principal part of the stock, having been kept in their wholesale warehouses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle will exist in the way of price; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when it exceeds 10/.

TIDE NEWS FROM AFFGUANISTAN.—The exciting intelligence just received relative t 9 the struggle carried an in the town and neighbourhood of Cabul, to which all eyes are at present so anxiously directed, invests this part of the world with an unusual interest. The publication of Captain Fane's " Five Years in India" will go far to gratify the public curiosity as to the singular ter. itory and localities in question. Re,ides giving a highly interesting description of those remark able spots which at present form the th, atre of war between the British and the Affgharis,. the gallant writer has furnishe from his own pencil, the following, among many other spirited in t iorations :-1 he City and Valley o f Cabul ; Bala Iliasar, or Shah's Palace at Cabul; Candahar ; Fortre•s and Town of Ghuzne ; Forts of Jumrood, Alice Musjid, &c., besides some highly interesting particulars relative to the traitor Mohammed Akhbar Khan (the assassin of Sir W. Macnaghten); a view of his residence, &c. LONDON FIRMS IN 1841.—This week's number of the Mechanic's Magazine contains Mr. Baddeley's interesting resume of the nu:nber, cause, character, and extent of the fires in London and its suburbs in 1841; by which it appears that there were in January, 59 ; February, 68 ; March, 63; April, 59 ' • May, r 56 ; June, 50 ; J u ly, 45 ; A ugus t, 63 ; Sep tember, al ; October, 67 ; November, 63 ; December, 52; making the total nu m b er o f fires fast year, 696. The number of fires wherein the premises were totally de stroyed was 24 ; seriously . damaged, 234 ; slightly da• maged, 438 ' • alarms whi c h p rove d to b e occas i one d by chimneys on fire (those known to be such are not included), 92 ; false alarms, originating in error or design, 67 ; making the total number of calls, 855. The number of instances in which an insurance had been effected on the building and. contents was 343 ; on the building only, 149 ; on the con tents only, 52 ; neither insured, 152. There were 16 fatal fireF, attended with the loss of 19 lives. Of all the most important fires of the year Mr. Baddeley has given a full and explicit account. 'these are followed by lists showing the occupancy of the premises, and the daily and hourly distribution of fires throughout the year. The apathy of the City authorities towards the preservation of the lives of the citizens from fire, is briefly but pointedly alluded Thu exertions of the Fire Brigade and the West of England firemen are justly commended. A description, with three engravings, is given of a splendid marine tire engine, which has been recently completed by Mr. Alerrywcath-r, Long acre, London, f or th e E mperor o f R uss i a. T o all those persons who take any interest in this important branch of our domestic statistics, the authentic and voluminous report of Mr. Baddeley will be peculiarly acceptable, containing, as it does, the most complete and accurate information ever pub• lished of these accidents. ALARMING FlRE.—Monday morning at half-past one o'clock, an express reached %Vatting-street fire station with information that a fire had broken out at Minerva House, near New Cross, Deptford, the residence of the Duke of Normandy. Mr. liraidwood repaired to the spot with three engines and a strong party of the brigade, and found the fire existed in a building recently erected for the purpose of snaking experi mental bomb-shells and other projectil, s. The greatest alarm existed in the neighbourhood, as it was supposed that a quan tity of combustibles were in the place, which would explode. Mr. Braidwood immediately brought his force into operation, but no water could be obtained except by buckets from the neighbouring houses, and it Bras only by unwearied exertion and judicious management that the fire was extinguished. The building, which is detached from the mansion, and its contents, were nearly wholly destroyed. Not the slightest idea can at present be formed as to the cause of the fire, which was not discovered until the flames burst forth. MESMERISM.—CAUTION TO THE LADIES.—A cook :n a g entleman's family having heard Mesmerism much spoken of, and many strange s'ories told of it, took it into her head she would be Mesmerised, and for that purpose applied to a noted professor in a country town ; being a very hale and healthy subject the surgeon had some difficulty to induce mes meric sleep, but he eventually succeeded. The lady not only dept but tiled, her first words were perfectly natural, but in a altering tone the fair one said—" Coachman, oh ! take your cold feet away !" In the Vice-Chancery Court on Saturday, in the case of Bulteel v. Lord Abinger, Sir T. Wilde concluded his reply in this case, and Vice-Chancellor Wigram requested to be furnished with the documents which had been read, to assist him in forming his decision. The sale of the celebrated Horace Walpole's match .. less seat of Strawberry-hill, ,with its um quelled galleries of paintings and sculpture, collections of intaglios. cameos, missals, coins and medals, renowned throughout Europe as the most costly and exquisite collection eier formel in Britain, announced for sale by Mr. George Robins, has already set the virtuosi of the Continent on the qui vice. Not only are several of the most distinguished and wealthy private connoisseurs of Paris preparing for a visit to England, solely for the purpose of at tending the rile, but an agent of the Civil List proceeds thither, we learn, with unlimited powers of selection and purchase. Agents from other Continental Governments, we also learn, have arrived in Paris on the way to London on a similar mission. ENGLISH SAILORS.----Mr. Cooper, the justly popu lar author of " the Pilot , " " Red Rover," " Water Illiitch," ko., who has, as a faithful delineator of the perils of the sea, earned for himself, both in America and England, an undying reputation, has just presented the public pith a new pro duction of his unrivalled talent in another story of the sea, called " The Two Admirals." In this new romance he brings before his readers a gallant Engl sh fleet, with its two Admirals. We must not anticipate the story, sshich gill he eagerly read by every body, but merely congratulate the Author on the production of a work which will, if possible, add even to the great celebrity of this most enter taining writer. The ice is breaking up in the Baltic, as the last ac counts fr•nn Hamburg inform us, and the navigation of the port of Kiel, in Denmark, being open, the steamers have resumed their service. It has been determined to send the 10th and 78th Regiments forthwith to India. The augmentation of two addi tional companies to six regiments will take place immediately. The corps originally selected for the increase were, the 20th, 23d, 42d, 71st, 97th, and 2d battalion Rifle Brigade; but this arrangement has been altered, and the augmentation will be given to the six regiments last embarked for foreign service not to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. Six of the Military Gazette. half-py list. —Naval and com panies will be filled up from the Mr. lIUTT rose to present a petition of which he had given notice, from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common-Council of Kingston-upon-Hull, complain ing of the manner in which certain gentlemen had been recently appointed to the Magistracy of that borough. He would beg to call the attention of the House to the great importance of this petition. involving as it did serious charges against the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department. The petitioners state that from the time of King Edward the Third until the passing of the Municipal Corporation Bill, the power of electing the magis tracy tvas vested in the Mayor and Corporation of Hull; that after the passing of that Bill the Noble Lord, the member for London, continued to them the privilege which they had before possessed, but that lately the Secretary for the Home Department sent a body of eight gentlemen, whose names he ordered to be inserted in the Commission of the Peace, all of them being partisans of the Govern ment. The petitioners believed that the appointments were conferred for services rendered to the party in power. Ile trusted the subject would meet the at tention of the house. PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented four petitions most numerously and respectably signed, from the first. Presbyterian congre ga ti o n of Down patrick ; .from the first congregation of Kilmore ; from the congregation of Grey Abbey, in the County of Devon ; and from the Re monstrant congregation of York-street, Bel fast. These petitions represented the manifold evils which would arise from permitting the late decision of the Irish Judges to stand as the law of the land, without some remedy being provided for all those who might be sufferers therefrom, and they prayed the House to pass such an Act as would reinedy those evils both retrospectively and prospectively, placing all sects on an equality as to the rights of marriage. METROPOLITAN BRIDGES. Mr. MILNER GIBSON presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. George's, Hanover-square, for the removing of the toll from Southwark, Waterloo, and Vauxhall bridges. Sir E. KERRiSON presented a similar petition from certain householders in the parish of Marylebone. CORN-LAWS. Mr. MILNER GIBSON presented a petition from Bradbury, in the county of Chester, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and for a complete Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and short Parliaments. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE presented petitions from the inhabitants of Sussex, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, and the county town of Southampton, representing the evil operations of the present system of the Corn laws ; and as these petitions came from purely agri cultural districts, he thought they should be read by the Clerk at the table. On the motion of the HON. BARONET, the petitions were then read at length by the Clerk. CHURCH-RATES. Sir J. EASTIIOPE presented a petition from an individual in Leicester, complaining that Dissenters should be compelled to pay Church-rates, and pray ing for a dissolution of Chnrch and State. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT presented a petition from the solicitors and attorneys of Ireland, praying for the repeal of so much of the Act of the .50th of George 111. as imposed on them a stamp duty of 8/. ; also a petition from the county of Cork against such parts o the proposed Corn Bill as referred to the re lative duties• on the exportation of wheat and flour; and a petition from Belfast, in favour of the Bill for Legalizing Presbyterian Alarriages. Mr. LEADER presented a petition from St. Martin's sin-the-Fields, signed by upwards of 12,000 persons, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. YOI 'NG E presented a petition from Cavan, in favour of the legalization of Presbyterian marriages. Dr. BOW It ING presented petitions from Edin burgh and Greenock, in favour of the total and imme diate repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord IVOR SLEY presented a petition from 285 farmers near Grimsby, against the proposed measure respecting the importation of corn into this country. The petition was read at length at the table. Sir It. INGLIS thought that one passage of the petition was worded contrary to the rules of the Ifouse ; but after an observation from Lord WORS LEY, it was ordered to lie on the table. _ _ _ Several petitions were presented by Hon. Members of both sides of the House, against the proposed Corn law scale, principally with reference to the relative duty on wheat and wheaten flour. Mr. COIII)EN presented several petitions, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from the in habitants of Islington, for a total repeal of the Corn law s. ...„ Lord SANDON presented a petition from a place in the county of Wexford, praying for a further pro tection against the importation of foreign corn. The NouLE LORD also presented a petition from the American Chamber of Commerce, praying that the House would take into its consideration the ex cessive duties upon the importation of tobacco. INHUMATION IN TOWNS. Mr. MACKINNON handed in the list of the Committee he moved for on the night before on this question. ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. Mr. COLVIL LE g ave notice that on the 16th ' instant he would move for a copy of the number of convictions for the murder of illegitimate children in Eng land and Wales from the year 1828 to the year 1841, distinguishing the counties in which those murders were committed ; also a return of the number of convictions for concealment of the birth of children within the same_ period. NEW WRIT FOR SOUTHAMPTON. Sir GEORGE CLERK moved for a writ for the election of a Member for the borough of South ampton, in the room of , the late M em b er, Lord Bruce, .now succeeded to th e I eerage, by t',e name and style of the Earl of Elgin. REGISTERED ARMS IN IRELAND. Mr. SHAW gave notice-that to-morrow he should move that the returns asked for by t'Ae Lord Mayor of Dublin, on the subject of registered arms iu the county of Down should be extendel to the rest of Ire land. e f e D th o e w r n e ofSpe la c t ia e l t i a ' n in any other Mr. O'CONNEL L had no o bjection he had re ferred nil re mferurriidertso had de taken n ty pl (2, county. Mr. HUTT said he was desirous of stating to the Right Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir B. Peel) the course which he proposed to take with respect to the Bill of which he had given notice, in relation to the importation off - lour. The Bill stood for Thursday. He proposed on bringing in the Bill, to have it printed and circulated with the votes, if the Right Hon. Baronet was not op said, without pled g i ng hi mse lf to the posed to tl at c curse of proceeding. Sir PEEL adoptio of any particular line of conduct, he had no Lord J. RUSSELL begged to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, whether it was the intention of the Government that the names of the Commissioners should be annexed to -the Bill ; and also whether it would not be better that tfie"nuntexs of the Commissioners should not be increased frOin two to three ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the names would be inserted in the Committee, and he would take the suggestion with regard to the increase of the Commissioners into his consideration. CALEDONIAN CANAL. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE wished to renew the' question which he had put on Monday relating to the Report of Sir Edward Parry on the Caledonian Canal. He wished to know whether the Government intended to adopt the suggestions contained in that Report. Sir R. PEEL intended to refer the Report to a Committee. Mr. E. ELLICE—When dots the Right Hon. Baronet intend to move for the Committee ? Sir. R. PEEL—lmmediately, without delay. • TIMBER SHIPS. Mr. J. PALMER- wished to call the atten tion of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, to the fact that the Act to prevent the overloading of timber ships would expire on the Ist of May. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to renew the measure. He had written on the subject to the President of the Board of Trade a fortnight since, and perhaps- the Right Hon. Gen tleman would prefer giving his answer on some other occasion. Mr. GLADSTONE would answer the question on some future day. GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. On Sir R. PEEL moving the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Corn-Importation Bill, _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said that, of course there could he no objection to the Hon. Member moving the Or der of the Day for the second reading of that Bill this evening ; but he wished to know if it were the intention of the Government to interfere with what had been considered a night appropriated to the discussion of measures introduced by individual Members, and to claim Wednesday as a Grovernment night. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was not his inten tion to interfere with what had been considered the right of particular Members, who choose to thke upon themselves the troublesome task of legislation.— (A laugh.) He had found the present Wednesday unoccupied, and, therefore, he had taken it, but he doubted whether he should find another Wed nesday unoccupied, and certainly the Government had no intention of interfering with the rights of individual Members. CORN-LAWS. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Corn-Importation Act beingread, Lord EBRINGTON rose to address the House,. but the Noble Lord spoke in. so low a tone as to be at times perfectly inaudible, and throughout 'his speech it was with the greatest difficulty' that ,we could catch even the purport of his observations. lie was understood to request the House to extend to . him that indulgence which was always kindly afforded to a new Member. He was aware that it might be consideted useless to pro pose any amendment to that measure after Go vernment, because it was said the whole was undoubtedly an improvement upon the exist ing Corn-laws, - and therefore it would right to accept it, some said as an instalment, others as a permanent settlement of the question. 'When the question was about to be settled it shoilld be settled upon some sound basia ; it should be settled so as to relieve the embarrassed state of. trade, and; if possible, the distress which pre vailed throughout the country. It appeared to that a fixed duty should be imposed upon foreign corn, if any duty . at all was imposed. A fixed trade would tend to promote an interchange of commodities, and thereby preent bullion being sent out to purchase corn. A regular trade would . also promote the interest of the .consumer, and . the profits of merchants would then be kept down by fair competition. If there was a mode rate fixed duty it would be known in the country when foreign rivals could compete with them, and when they could not. Ile knew that a large body were opposed to any duty, but he thought that even they would agree with him that if there was to be any duty at all, a fixed duty was by fitr the hest. Her Majesty's late Government had brought for ward a measure for a fixed duty on those grounds, but. upon what ground the present measure — was intro duced he could not say. It could not be introduced for the purpose of checking extensive frauds, because the Right lion. Baronet had said that no frauds had been committed, and it was not introduced to lower the pric e of corn, because the Right lion. Baronet had said that the price was not too high at the present moment. The Right Hon. Baronet next referred to the manner in which the currency of the country would be affected by the Corn-law Bill, but he dicl.not state how it had been affected by the present Bill (11* fact every arku- ment which the Right Hon. Baronet employed against the existing Corn-laws in their effect upon the currency was equally applicable, though in a less degree, to the Bill he now proposed ; if one were unjust in principle the other also was unjust in principle ; the difference was only one of degree.— (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Ebrington) could not see on what principle the Right' Honourable -Ba ronet asserted that his Bill differed from the Bill of the Noble Lord, the Member for London, only in detail, and that they agreed in principle. He (Lord Ebrington) wished:to see a duty levied on corn for the purposes of revenue, such a duty as ought to be levied on every article- that was im ported from foreign countries. He did not want to give up the principle of customs' duty altogether. If they gave up the principle of taxing articles called necessaries, it seemed to him that they very much endangered the whole customs' duty. He did not see what grounds they had for aban doning the old scale and adopting the new one. Thhe seemed to him to be no difference between the two. With respect to the proposed minimurrl duty, it would be a disadvantage to trade, and must endanger the agricultural interest, by making the growers feel security by calculating on high prices, and expose theni to ruinous competition amongst themselves. With respect to the rests in the scale, they only fur nished a premium t o s peculation. If the speculator ucceeded in his attempt to raise the price of corn he diminished the duty ; if he did not succeed in that attempt, he would not increase the duty. At 525. per q uarter as the price of corn, he would pay 18s. duty ; if he attempted to raise the price to 555., he would still pay about the same amount of duty, and, should he fail in his attempt, he wou ld t a ll back - on the former price of 525., without having to pay a higher duty. Was such a system strictly fair ? It appeared to hi m th a t th e principles on which the rests in the scale were formed, was quite fortuitous. They were assured that there was no intention what ever to benefit agriculture by a side wind, and that the addition to the places for taking the ave rages was not intended to lower them ; but from the enormous change in the list of towns, there being 60 omissions and 40 additions, it was difficult to say what would be the effect of it. For instance, he found that London, where the largest quantity and best of wheat was consumed, was omitted, while Liverpool, where the poorer sort of Irish wheat was consumed, was admitted. Then with respect to America, they were told of their trade with that country, and how important it was that they should connect themselves as much as possible with the country to which they were allied in blood and language.—(Hear, hear) Now, the return laid before the house gave as the average twenty-six or twenty-seven day s f or th e passage from America. Now, they woald hardly allege that such a short time as this was sufficient to give the Ameri can the full benefit of the importation that could be commanded by the countries on the Baltic. Ile could see no benefit that the plan was calculated to produce. It had discontented the agriculturist ;it had alarmed the millers, who were complaining of its probable effects on their trade ; it had placed many Members of that House in a very inconvenient position with regar d t o s t a t ements t h ey had previously made, it had anything but contented the trading and manufacturing classes, either of empl o y ers or employed ; an d it had caused disgust and almost despair amongst the people, as to the probability of any legislative improvement being carried in that House, and for that reason was calculated to produce the most fatal consequences to social order and social stability. All it had done appeared to be the organising of a party in that House, and the only person who appeared con tented with it was the Right Hon. Baronet himself. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. Colonel THOMAS WOOD said they must all agree that it was desirable that this question should be settled on the soundest principles. The difficulty was to determine what were the soundest principles, and he thought that that question had become more obscure than ever. It was impossible to deal with abstract theory on this question ; all they could do was to adopt the most practicable measure which was offered to them, and that he maintained to be the measure now offered by her Mikjesty's Government. When the measure was first proposed, he confessed that he felt in some degree disappointed, for he had expected to see a measure less prohibitory in its character.— (Hear, hear.) Subsequent examination of the measure and of the returns upon which it was grounded had induced him to form a more favourable opinion of it than he at first entertained. The conversation which he had had with men practi cally engaged in the trade of corn, induced him to believe that under the proposed measure a very considerable trade might be carried on, and that in seasons of dearth it would provide for a greater supply for the immediate wants of the country than could be afforded under the old system. In that view of the measure, he had been confirmed by a speech, which was addressed to the House by a practical man, engaged in the corn trade. That Honourable Member alleged that in ordinary years a considerable quan tity of corn would be introduced to this coun try when the price reached 565., at a duty of 165., and at a moderate rate of profit, at 3s. or 4s. a quarter, and that in seasons of deficiency, when the price had increased to 735. and the duty was Is. the great majority of importations would come into the market at a duty of 6s. ; thereby prevent ing those unfortunate enhancements of price under which the people had been suffering of late years, diminishing the inconveniences which had been felt in the currency, and affording increased supplies. to the wants of the people. If these advantages accrued from the measure he thought they would have reason to be grateful to her Majesty's Government. Taunts had been thrown out that Gentlemen on that (the Tory) side of the House had deserted the landholders, to whom they had always held out hopes of protection.—(" Hear," from the Opposition.) Those taunts were totally without foundation—Min isterial cheers)—and he would ask the House to take a retrospective view of the progress of this question up to the present time.—(Hear.) Let them look to what had occurred in the last year. It was affirmed indeed, that the late Government was thrown out upon this question. It was no such thing. The Noble Lord, the Member for Sunderland, defeated the Government by a majority of five. They were defeated on the Irish Registration Bill, butthey strug gled feebly on, and at length brought in the important measure of the Import Duties, which certainly in cluded the Corn-laws. When they were defeated on that, they went to the country. The agri culturists bestirred themselves—(Opposition cheers) — and they showed that the country had no confidence in the Government. But then followed the bad weather in harvest time ; then came the distress and high prices of corn, when they were 1,500,000 quarters of corn in the country, of which not a quar ter could get into the market.—(Opposition cheers.) Then the present Government proposed this altera tion; in which he was convinced they did wisely, and, in fact, no Government could carry on the Admi nistration without a practical remedy for the great evil, for it was a great evil that so much corn should be in bond whilst distress prevailed.—(Renewed cheers from the Opposition.) The present measure would remedy the evil.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) lle would take this, the first measure of the Right Honourable Baronet's Administration as an omen of his success, and he hoped his other measures would be like this, practical remedies for the evils to which they were applied. Ile was sure the people of the country would be as convinced as he was that he was desirous to promote the welfare of the nation, and they would rally round and support him. He hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet would in scribe his own name on the imperishable annals of his country (Hear, hear.) _ • Capiain VIVIAN said that he rejoiced to perceive, by the preceding debates, that the present was not looked upon as likely to be a final measure. He thought the Noble Lord had shown that the present could not be a final measure, and that it would not relieve the distress of the country. The great argument of Hon. Gentlemen opposite was, that the distress of the country was not owing to the Corn-laws, but to machinery and over-production. But if that were even so the true remedy was to extend their markets, and augment their commerce. —(llear, hear.) The Noble Lord had shown in his speech the extent of country in America capable of supplying all their wants, and all they required in return was that they may be allowed to take our manufactures. The argument was unan swered, and it appeared to him to be a strMng argu ment in favour of a fixed duty. If the manufacturers were destroyed the very first result would be that the agriculturists would fall in immediately after. Mr. BLACKSTONE would vote for the amend ment of the Noble Lord, not because he was in favour . of a fixed duty, but because he did not think the mea sure of the Right Hon. Baronet gave sufficient pro tection to agriculture. He before voted against a fixed duty, and he would now vote against the measure of the Right Honourable Baronet, because it did not give sufficient protection.—(Hear, hear.) He was astonished to hear the speech of the Hon. and Gallant Member for Middlesex. That lion. and Gallant Member had stated that the late Government had not been defeated on the Corn-law question, but on the Irish Registration Bill. He (Mr: Black stone) was astonished to hear the Hon. and Gallant Member make that statement. He (Mr. Blackstone) had recently come from the hustings, and had never heard the Irish Registration Bill mentioned at his election. He had been returned to that House because he supported measures for the protection of the British farmer. Several county Members had spoken on the subject of the Government measure, and all, with the solitary exception of the Hon. Member for Middle sex, had expressed their trepidation and alarm at the measure.—(Hear.) He felt he was justified in viewing it with alarm, and in giving his opposition to it.—(Cheers from the Opposition). The Right Hon. Baronet, in introducing this measure, had stated that great distress existed in the manufacturing districts but at the same time, he had stated that he did not propose this measure with the hope of its leading to the ame lioration of that distress . (Hear, hear.) :Had it been brought forward with that hope, he (M r . B.) might have beien induced to strain a point to support it, and out of doors the agriculturists were at a loss to understand why the measure had been brought for ward, if it: was not to alleviate the distresses of the country. At all events the measure had not met with • the support of lion. Gentlemen opposite. It had not con - ciliated opposition, and, as a proof of the paucity of support it had met with out of doors, he would mention the fact, that only five petitions, with 510 signatures, ' had been presented in support of the Government mea sure.--(Hear, hear.) It received no support icon; .the nfatvnoutituri r fac inth u e g e(me forward to affix their situ a di gr s i t c ri u ct lfu s, ral dis a tric e ts s . and only r 510 persons has a e r e e n n e the . calledefu the n R t g c h h t o olsieeible.tßwa•t cl‘ o ye , p ihi e one t r3d i o sass n ie s . 3lriael 1 1 10. t dat, w od Hen.

He corn; they were bound to be sati s fi e d t h at t h e new law believed, would wbeiathVZ proposed measure there would be a steady trade in that they would have a large and steady ar importation, and that must lead to a reduction in the price in Eng land. When the Right Hon. Baronet said that under the operation of the proposed measure the price of wheat would oscillate from 545. to 585., he (Mr. Blackstone) could not forget that the measure of the Duke of Wel lington in 1838 had been proposed for the purpose of securing a price of 635. That measure had been tried for fourteen years, and according to the Right Honourable Baronet's showing, instead of 635. the average price had been from 565. to 575. He feared very much that the result of the Bill of the Right Hon. Baronet would be to fix the price at an ave rage of 505., and he would regard such consequences with dismay. He did not fear for the interests of the land lords, but for the interests of the agricultural labourers ; for, if corn were at 50s. their wages would su ff er a much greater reduction than the rents, for the farmer would certainly reduce his wages before lie asked the landlord to reduce his rent. The wages of this country at present amounted to more than the produceAif the wheat crop. Taking this crop at 50,000,00 0 of quar ters, at 575., the value would be 57,000,000!.; but the wages of la bour amounted to about 60,000,0001. a-year, taking the average at los. a-week. Supposing that only a fifth of this amount were taken off, he would dread the consequences. He would then refer toahe Report of the Agricultural Committee, of which the Right Hon. Gen tleman, the Member for Dorchester (Sir J. Graham) was Chairman. The concluding paragraph of that Report was in these memorable words :—° Your Committee avow their opinion that the amelioration of the agricultural interests depends rather upon the con n try's forbearance than the active interposition of Parliament." The Honourable Gentleman conclud ing by expressing his intention to support the amendment proposed by the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Ebrington), which was that the Bill, introduced by the Right Hon. Baronet, be read this day six months.— (Loud cheers from the Opposition Benches.) Mr. BUCK next addressed the house, but the com mencement of the Hon. Gentleman's observations were totally inaudible in the gallery. He was understood to say, that he thougnt he might say that Hon. Gentlemen opposite had contributed, by their opposition, to the dis tress in the country. It certainly was not attributable to the Corn-laws. Foreigners had shown no disposition to take the manufactures of this country in exchange for corn. There was no real reciprocity between this and finatign countries ; on the contrary, foreign natioes had always evinced a disposition to take the bullion of this country instead of its manufactures. If distress did ex ist, it arose from other causes than those over which the Corn-laws could have control. It could not be for it moment supposed that by a mere repeal of the Corn-laws people could be induced to embark their capital in this country, or purchase our manufactures, if they could be got one farthing cheaper elsewhere. A few nights since a Noble Lord opposite taunted county Members with not acting up to the principles they had professed on the hustings. Now, for his part, he should have been as happy as the Noble Lord, if the Right Ho nourable Baronet had thought it right to go a little higher in the scale—(Hear, hear)—but he was satisfied that he was acting according to the wishes and leelings of his constituents if he did t.ot act to embarrass a Go vernment that was favourable to the agricultural inte rest, if that embarrassment was likely to place in power a Government that was inimical to the landed interest. He would venture to say if the measure that had been proposed in the last Session had been carried into a law, it would have ruined the agricultural interest, and thrown out of employ thousands of agricultural labourers, the result of which would be that they must resort to the unions. It was the duty of every Government to find sub sistence for the population. What had been said by the American President was most true, that it was the duty of every Government to do all in their power to keep in employment its agricultural population. And such had ever been the prevailing sentiment of every Government in this country up to the year 1840. How ' ever they might have differed in the manner of carrying it out, they were always aware of the necessity which existed for protecting the agricultural interest. Whether we looked back to the clays of Mr. Canning and Mr. Hus kisson, or other of the enlightened men who conducted the Governments of this country, we should find that such invariably were their views. He felt it a duty which he owed to his constituents to supp ort the piopo sition of the Right Hon. Baronet, and in doing so he was only pursuing the same course as the representative of the county of Devon, which he did as their represen tative of the City of Exeter.—(Hear, hear.) Lord HOWICK said that, until he heard the two gentlemen who had just sat down, he believed that the act of 1828 was one now universally condemned—till now he believed that the bad effects of that measure were assumed by universal consent—that no one believed that the sliding scale tended to produce steadiness of price, but that on the contrary, since it had been in operation, we had experienced the extremes of high and low prices, and that the agricultural and commercial classes had alike suffered under the most severe and continued distress. Ile believed that all this had been universally admitted. He believed that the Act of Parliament, which only a. short time ago was considered so perfect that it could not possibly be amended, which only a few months ago had so many determined and enthusiastic supporters on the hustings—let him add, such powerful supporteri - hadl been abandoned.—(llear, bear, and laughter.) But it seemed lie was mistaken. It was not to be left only to a Noble Duke in the otl or House, who was to be put quietly on the shelf, to retain his good opinions of the old Act, but it had at last found two defenders in this House among the ranks of those who called themselves the exclusive protectors of the agricultural interest.—(Hear, hear.) But, at the same time, he must say he was not very lucky in one of his advocates, because the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down concluded by a panegyric on the existing law, although he intended 'to support this Bill. The other Hon. Gentleman, he believed, was a more cruel advocate, for he was going to vote with those who opposed the Bill on very different grounds. He (Lord Howick) had said that the existing law was universally to be abandoned—it was going to be consigned to obli vion, to the receptacle for repealed statutes. He was not going to detain the House by any arguments for the pur pose of proving the folly of that Act, because the autho rities in its defence were so very weak, that it was really not worth while doing so. He would, therefore, leave lion. Gentlemen who had just addressed the House to settle that point with the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, and with the Gallant Colonel, the Member for Middlesex, who had just told them that the evils of the existing law, were so strongly felt in the last autumn, that it was utterly impossible that any Government could keep their places if that law was to be continued. He should leave the advocates of this statute to settle the point with lion. Gentlemen on the other side of the Muse who found it necessary to oppose the present Bill. But he could not help remarking on the other side of the House, that Gen tlemen who admitted the peculiar danger of the existing Act, who visited with the strongest condemnation any attempt to repeal the Act, yet recommended, when they were making alterations in the details of that measure, and modifying its effect, them to maintain the prin ciple of the old law. He did not mean, in treating upon that subject, to introduce any party spirit; nothing could be further from him, as he did not think it was fair in subjects of this kind. The Gallant Colonel, the Member for Middlesex, insisted in a comparison of the merits of this and the preceding proposition. It was impossible for him (Lord Howick) to do so, because even though the principle of the measure proposed by the late Govern ment met with his approbation, yet that measure did not go far enough, and it was brought forward at an unfortunate time. On the other hand , the p resen t Go vernment was now prepared to deal with the subject, and he was bound to give them this credit that had brought fonsard the measure in a manner the importance of the question required, and when they were fully capable of carrying the proposal submitted. They had also, lie thought, proposed a very substantial alteration and amendment to the existing law. No doubt they con tinued what he conceived to be most vexatious and most injurious restrictions on trade ; but, at all events, they mitigated those restrictions which now exist, and they diminished the evils of the present system ; and though they did not, in his opinion, go far enough, still as far as they did go they proposed considerable improve ment, especially as that improvement would lead, at no very distant period, to a more complete, and effectual reform of the Corn-laws.—(llear, hear.) It was the beginning of a progress, which he was per suaded no power in this country could arrest, towards a reform, before any length of time had elapsed, of the Corn-laws—a reform which would be founded on a much clearer and intelligible principle than any that had yet been proposed. The argument which he wished to address to the House was , that the Right lion. Baronet, in the measure which he had proposed, had adhered too much to the principle of the law now in force. Although, as he (Lord I.) had already stated. it was generally admitted, even on the other side, that the Act of 1828 had been n practical failure, he did beenfailure ha.d the the Act nec e e f ssary result lB2B of th proposed object which to not think that it was equally admitted that th a t itself. It was undeniable that when that Act had been proposed Parliament had been taught to believe that its effect would be to maintain a steady and equal price ; and that the increase of duty, in proportion to the fall in price, and the diminution of duty in proportion to the rise, would have the effect of limiting the lower ing and rising of prices within certain limits, which the framers of the Act conceived it was not expedient that they should exceed. It must be admitted that that was the avowed expectation of the Act of 1828. RS well as that of 1822. If it had not been framed with that object, it would be difficult to conceive what was the object and intention of that Act. He (Lord tended that that object was one which Parliament ought not to have in view.---Mear, Parliament stepped beyond its proper if it attempted to legislate with a view of e de o " M rn in ' o l ning what should be the price of food or any °tlw e e possible it (II.) con dity whatever.
