The Petitior. was read ; and a fieradverting to the m ischiev -0113 effects which the measure was : - .alculated to produce on the conmiercial, manufacturing,-a0 naval interests of the country, it proved as abov e . LoM GRENVILLE stated, that in order not to delay the discussion, of which' notice br.l - i 11 1;:enl.,-„ivett for this night, he. should prop o s e th a t the cen'ideration of thi3Petitiov. :ut post poned till 1.6 utorruw Or Friday. Earl STANHOPE begged leave to remind his NobleTrietad , that iris moti,ot stood for to-morrow.

The Earl Of LAUDERpA.LE sul.fgent,‘l to . tbe"Nohle 'Fori near him (Stanhopo,) . that it WouldArev;nitter to allow , t,14,e oimsidefation of. this Petition to precede his motion, as he might doVive important information heaiingnpdn his su.:lsect fiwo the debate on the Petition. Earl STANHOPE said this was the first time he had heard of the propriety of putting off a discussion on one subject, be cause a Petition was presented upon another subject., De pend upon it, said his Lordship, it is not my motion t14;4 1- the Petitioners Oppose. It appeared to be ag - eed that the Petition should be takeq into consideration to-tai irrow, if the was tick for , Earl GR,EY moved fora r e t urn o f the quantity cf Grain im potitsd' ir.t3 the port of London in January and,ql::ebroary, lit 1.); Alrar•trthe quantities imported into the other Ports of-.

'With the strong opie.ion which he entertained of the iinjuStiee, inn/Miley, and inbunmanity of this ttgx, tie • could not suffer the matter to' pass without taking the earliest opportnnity of callitng the par tic►fiatat!ention of,their Lordships to the subject. )He skt,"r:.con Vineed no 11 1 0 difiCatiOri that, could )e:ilevi se d by the NoLie Earl opposite (Liverpool-), ,and the Chancellor o tine Exchequer," could rent- der this a Made of ta::atinn which ought . to be • resorted to.' Without', however, entering.now ist • length into the subjett., he should merely observe, that'it war impolitic,' as 'light and air might :be Considered as paet of the raw material in such ma , nufactories ; that time tax was most unjust, because it'lmad no connection with the opulence of those On whom it was ptincipally to fall ; and that it rAs inhuman, because oft he ii,jurions elect which it must . have.on the health c.f those eMpl9yed the manufactories . . It was well known that at best . the crowding togetlr6r so large a body of persons as pecesz-mary in many manufactories, was far front being favourable to health ; brit the evil would be increased tenfold if the regulations Fri this subject, -'proposed in the CournoimS, were to Pass into a law. , - 111 e hoped the -Noble Earl 'void the Chancellor of tine Exchequer would reconSi-. tier that part of their system of- `taxation, and feel it consistent with their duty and 'inclination to abandon this intcrference with tile light and air iu the::.e manufactories: - Being himself connected with a mannfacturing county, he comma speak tin this point with the greater Confidence. -To tine remainder of the ta,:es, irl as far as they af fected those articles which people would have nail option whetber.to use or ,not, hezaw no objection.. He might have somednubt as tri..tlfey productive ness but he had 110 objeilloil to them in any other pant of view. But ttir this tax on tine win dow's of warehouses and man ufaCtories, he was de cidedly adverse, and he could not help stating, at this_ early opportunity, tinat in case the measure tame to that• House it meet vith his 'de cided oppositiop. •• The Earl of LtvERPooL, in answer to a que3- tioa from Lord Grenville, stated, that tse Bank Restriction Bill stood for committal to-morrow ; bunt Inc bad no objection to agree to any-arrange ment with respect to its progres -that might be convenient for their Lordships. • THE C0a...7' ylic Earl of LIVERPOO . I. rose to moye the Se e Gild reading,- which he prefaced with ati able, ai : gunrentative f anti eloquent speech of coirsidera hie leng,th.' The ineasttre, of which he was_ahout to propose the sett - rid rcatlin, was one that he bad most attentively considered during the course of the_ thre e l as t y ears ; and,cpuld conscientiously add; without the "least particle'. of prejudice; for if ever their existed a question, either with refe rence to the npinions•of persons with ‘vlrotri lie was,in the habit of agreeing— on most topics, or with reference to his own situation; on whicli he was fully divested of all prejudice, it was the very t On which he had that night the honour to address their Lordships... The first view of this , very ipiportant subject, which naturally presoitcd, itself, was the actual situation of the country, •uith respect to that, perhaps, most importaot Of all considerations, its agriculture. In that view, this It-wintry was different from manY - t)thers. mailer states, both ancient and modern, and among the latter, the Republics of Holland, Ve 7 nice,:andGenoa, a different line of policy was wisely adopted ; they depended for their supply of grain imporations from lar - er countries, - as: it was impossible that small States could lOok to agrictriture'ils a means of wealth, or even supply theirdomestic , consumption ; they therefore de pended upon connuere and mi:nufactures as their roidy sonrce'of; and :iggrantlizement. gitt very dilfe'rent was the case with retibee; to :,onn triesOr great territorial extent, and having n po- . of tut, twely r ; fifteL•4l,..o: twenr.v:p.:ll:ens to supply, Such counf;ries could, not p . rn - ,sibly ire dependent noon others!for an, article of ''`he C„rs't necessity, withnut• the greatest possible This count - -; shonld he, not only frank cirFula stances, but from policy,' not only a great coma mercial, but a great agl , icultural country, and the: principles of its lagislatidn.slionld . 4e with a vieW to the interests of both. _►'l n dire should, on this account, be sacrificed to the other.
