The inquiries into the mal-praetices at the Hotel de Ville, in the Bureau des Plans and the Bureau de la Grande Voirie, are going on with great rigour. .The chiefs of each of these bureaux, as well as M. Hourdequin, Chef de Division of the Grande Voirie, and M. Solet, a clerk in the same office, both of whom are in arrest, have been repeatedly e xam i ned. Marshal Gerard, who. Lieiit.-Col one l , oft the list of the •Sfiff,'in which he held the post of sub-l u t en d ant. the ie as Commandant of the Nation a l G uard ofraris, has struck name o f Is 4, • .8 • • Lord BROUGHAM said, of all modes of raising a revenue a duty on necessaries of life was the very worst. They had no mode of calculating the revenue ; and in case 'of exigency they could not tell whether it would be - possible to raise the revenue or not. Another obvious Ohjeetion struck every one as soon as a duty was - mentioned for tile purpose of raising a revenue. for instance, in ordei: - to raise a million and a quarter revenue, by imposing a fixed duty, it would raise the price of all other kinds of grain, as well as of that imported; and thus they would draw eight or ten millions from the consumer, while only one million and a quarter would go into the Exchequer. A duty on consumable commodities was in fact a poll-tax, and was exceedingly to be repudiated, as all paid alike according to their means ; in fact the poor paid more to it than the rich, as the amount of - their means spent in food formed a larger proportion of their expenditure. He perceived by the Votes of the other House of . Parliament that a great numbei of places had been added to those where the averages had been usually taken. He begged to ask the Noble Lord opposite whether the places so proposed to be added were places in which. the price of wheat had generally been loWer than in the places where the averages had been hitherto taken ? The Earl of RIPON had no objection to answer the question of the Noble and Learned Lord. The principle that had induced them to add a number of towns to those that now made returns, was in order to prevent the possibility of any essential fraud, and not with the view of lowering the averages. If 'they had had any such object in view, they would have been committing a fraud. They bad taken such large market towns as would be most likely to give a fairer view cf the average price of the country, and diminish the chance of fraud.--(Hear, hear, hear.) If his Noble and Learned Friend would only look at the towns they had selected, he would find that although they had given towns in agricultural districts, they had also given towns in the manufacturing and maritime districts. The principle they had acted upon was not for the purpose of diminishing the averages, but to give a fairer view of the quantity sold, and therefore diminish the chance of fraud. Lord BROUGHAM did not for a moment impute to the Noble Lord, or his colleagues, the intention of doing any thing improper; but he was afraid that the averages might be affected by the proposition they had made. The Earl of RIPON said that such could not be the case, and the averages were struck by putting the quan tity together, then adding up the money, and substract ing one from the other ; no effect would be produced upon the averages, except from the larger markets. The Earl of RADNOR had no doubt that these towns had not been selected with any improper motive, but he had as little doubt that the result would be to lower the averages:, which would be a disadvantage to the people. There was no doubt it might have a tendency to prevent fraud, but he (Earl Radnor) very much doubted whether that tendency would do any good to the public. He believed that that tendency to fraud, however much they might repudiate fraudulent transactions in them selves, had been a benefit to the people, because it had been the means of introducing a greater quantity of corn into this country. lie believed that the present plan would be more stringent, for he believed that the proposed sliding scale would possess all the objections of. the sliding scale under the present system, and that in a very great degree. He also believed that it would equally open a door to fraud. lie could not under stand-why the Government had introduced this They expected no good from it ; they did not expect than it would be any relief to the country. He (the Earl of Radnor) believed that the farmers would be better off without any prOfettlOn.—(Hear, hear.) The whole principle•he contended for was ada-14t.c.,1 by the Government in last Septombor, or about that time, in the course of the correspondence between Mr. Henry Gunter, the Board of Customs, and the Board of Trade, on the subject of the reduction of the duty on preserved turtle, which was admitted duty free, the s4rog e 4 live turtle. The Earl of ;RlPON—There is a duty on live turtle. ---(Hear, and laughter.) The arl of RADNOR—He had lately seen in the newspapers, and he believed there was no doubt of the fact, that the Government had distributed certain Ord nance stores among the distress d wea vers of Spitalfields I * for their relief. Now h e (t arl of Radnor) could not approve of charity of tat kind. He did not think that stores should b e t h us gratu i tous l y di s t r ib ute d for which the people h a d pa i d i n taxes, Besides, if such relief were to be afforded to th e weav ers of Spitalfields, why, it might be asked, s h ou ld i t not a l so b e exten d e d t o the distressed operative s o f M anc h ester , Bi rm i ng ham, Paisley, and other places? F op h i s part h e b e li eve d th a t the practice was unjustifiable in principle. He had heard of a memorial lately addressed to the Oevernment from Paisley, praying that the provisions lying in store in f Liverpool and other plac es mig h t b e a d m i tte d d uty f ree , the use of the poor of th at town ; an d h e was sorr y to say that it appeared the request could not be acceded to. It was his intention to inevi; be, fore the House separated, for certain returns connected with the use made of the Ordnance stores, and with the Paisley memorial, when he would again re fer to thope subjects. He wished to take that opportunity of stating, that he considered the new measure would in effect be more stringent than the . present. Corn-law Bill, inasmuch as it would tend to raise the aye -rages, and thereby to exclude a good deal of foreign corn which now came into the country. The Earl of RIPON said that the Noble Earl had been very jocose about a matter which he must have thought of great importance—namely, the free impor tation of turtle. Now he (the Earl of Ripon) hap pened not to be very intimately acquainted with that xery important matter. The inqniry about which the Noble Earl joked so much was a necessary one, inasmuch as it had not been before determined what duty preserved turtle should pay, Such questions were not uncommon, About five years ago the same Mr, Gunter imported a large cargo of ice from Norway, and the whole Customs were in commotion as to what denomination it should come under, and then what duty it should pay. . The question was referred to the Treasury, and by it to the Board of Trade, who decided that ice was goods,— (Laughter.) LOrd CAMPBELL said the •ice was dissolved before the question was solved.—(Laughter.) The Earl of RIPON then proceeded to. censure the manner in which the Noble Earl had alluded . to the efforts the Government had made, on former occasions, to relieve the distressed. Lord BEAUMONT referred to the new mode of taking the averages, and said he much feared the factors would influence the new markets as they did the old. The only way to ascertain the truth on this subject was was too great a sacr ifi ce f or to take it from the grower. The scale which they had ua l t s3 :811 alte ra ti on was made in t h h e u d farmer proposed make,els w h ere less dista nce t h ey taking the averages. grown, the Lord BROUGHAM t hou g ht the Noble Lord would admit, that the nearer the avera g es were taken to the would have to go to fin d a market ; a nd corn was likely to be higher in the more distant p arts. place where the corn wa s The subject then dropped. Lord BROUGHAM then presented petitions from the west of Scotland, complaining of the price of food, and praying for an alteration of the Cr Corn-la ws , Messengers from the House o Co mmons brou g ht up the Loan Societies Amendment Bill, which was read a first time. Lord CAMPBELL presented a, petition. irom the Presbyterians of Belfas t, praying that some remedy might be had for the present defective st ate of the law relative to Dissenters' marr iages. Another object of the petition was, that the system of registration of births, marriages, and deaths in Ireland, as the law at present stood, was extremely. i defective. and i nconven i ent. Many fa.nilies in Ireland ot t i tr went persuasions, were at times anxious to ascertain their pedig rees. A new system • had been introduced in England which had been - attended with very great success. At tirstiot_eneountered great preju ' dice,and people were axerse adual t i ore,,i ster their c hild ren un d er it, but the prejudice had gr y died away. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal ,together with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, were registered along with the other subjects of the realm. He (Lord Campbell) thought that all objections to the system had disappeared, and it was now attended with great benefit to the com munity. Why should not the Irish people have the be nefits of this system as well as the other Parts of the em pire. The Poor-laws had been established in Ireland, and he (Lord Campbell respectfully submitted to the Noble Duke opposite that the system of registration might be introduced through the district officers in Ireland. Lord REDESDALE said that , so fad rp oi „ the system having given satisfactioil l iii.: k _Aew that in many parts it had 9eßgr:g4 aiSaiisfaction. Lor CAMPBELL said that he was aware that the system had been met with considerable prejudice, and that indictments were issued against many persons re- Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND presented a petition from Saddlebourne, in Yorkshire, with the same prayer. Lord DUNCAN presented a petition from Bath, signed by the City Sheriff, Aldermen, and twenty-four Town Councillors, complaining of the inefficiency of the plan proposed by Ministers for the alteration of the Corn laws, and humbly praying for the avoidance of class le gislation.—(Hear, hear.) Captain DUNDAS presented a petition from Green wich, praying for the abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr. RAIKES CURRIE presented petitions from Northampton with the same prayer. Mr. FERGUSON presented similar petitions from Banffshire. Mr. VERNON SMITH presented petitions from several places in Northampton, praying for a total abo lition of the Corn-laws, and an alteration in_the Suffrage. Dr. BOWRING presented 61 petitions from different places in Scotland and England, all very numerously signed—one from Burnley, with 1,782 signatures, one from Wortley, with 1,800 signatures, and various others with many signatures—all praying for the entire and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws.

Mr. EMERSON TENNENT presented petitions, praying for alterations in the law relating to Presbyte rian marriages in Ireland. Sir 11. BATESON presented petitions from two places in Derry, regarding Presbyterian marriages, praying that the House would be pleased to pass a law, to legalise all those marriages which had already taken place. and make such marriages valid in future. This question caused great excitement in the north of Ireland. METROPOLITAN BRIDGE TOLLS ; Mr. MASTERMAN presented a petition from the in habitants of the metropolis, praying that the tails on the different metropolitan bridges should by taken off. Mr. B. WOOD presented a petition to the same effect, from the inhabitants of the Wttterloo.road. Mr. G. W.

Mr. VILLIERS presented several potitions from Nantwich and other places in Citeshirt, praying for a total repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws ; also peti tions to the same PitUet from the shoemakers of Cheshiro. MrsMITACIN BY presented a petition from an agri uultoral district in Cumberland, unanimously .signed by the occupiers of estates, and farmers, praying a repeal of the Corn-laws ; also a petition from the weavers of Car lisle, to the sumo effect. The petitioners stated that great di.treis oeisted in the town, which they attributed in a great measure to the system adopted by the manufac turers in endeavouring to underooll each other—a system which ought to be chocked. The petitioners suggested that Bill . should be introduced into the House Air the purpose of regulating the price of wheat, as a means of alleviating the sufferings of the people. The petitioners further stated that for some time past they had not received more than 3s. 3d. per week each individual, and they were now further reduced and many of them were now only in the receipt of is, 3d. per week. Mr. ALDHAM presented a petition praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. COBDEN presented a great number of petitions from Lancashire, 'Yorkshire, and a variety of other places, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Captain PECHELL 13resented a petition from an indi vidual of the name of John Ball Browne, surgeon of Brighton, complaining of the provisions of the Act for Re covery of Small Debts, and prayingthat execution should by had against the body, and not against the goods.-- (A laugh.) Also, a petition from the Endfield Congise gation, against the plan proposed by Sir Robert Peel, respecting the Corn-laws. Also a petition, signed by the members of the congregation and other friends of Union street Chapel, Brighton, praying that that House would immediately take into their consideration the Corn and Provision.laws. DISPUTED RETURN. T lh e SPEAKER informed the House that the parties to te petition complaining of an undue return for the county of Carlow had no intention of proceeding with the said petition, on both sides.—(Hear, hear.) CORN-LAWS. Sir C. NAPIER presented twenty-four petitions, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. BUNBURY presented petitions to the same effect. Mr. J. PARKER presented petitions from Rotherham, Blackburn, and several other places in the West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. THE WEST INDIA BISHOPS. Sir C. NAPIER wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, where he intended to put the three new Ulshops in the Leeward Islands ? Lord STANLEY said it was the intention of the Government to divide the dioceses in such a manner that the residence of one Bishop would be in Barbadoes, and of the two others the residences would be Demerara and Antigua PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. Mr. LITTON presented a petition from the congre gation of the Presbyterian Church at Cromlin, praying the House to pass a measure to legalise all marriages heretofore solemnised by a Presbyterian clergyman be tween Protestants and Dissenters, and also such as were to be solemnised in future. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. C. BERKELEY begged to know from the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose ane alteration in the Sugar Duties. Lord STANLEY said that it was impossible for him, under present circumstances, to give any answer to the question of the Hon. Member. The subject was one of great importance, and, in conse quence of that very great importance, and in con sequence also of the more extensive measure which was in contemplation by his Right Hon. Friend, it would be unwise If he were to give any answer on the subject of the alteration of the Sugar Duties, or the intention of her Majesty's Government with regard to them. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. Colonel RAWDON hoped he should be excused for asking a question on a subject in which a large portion of the co►mmmut took a great interest, which was connected with the great cause of civil and religious liberty.—(Cries of " Order, order.") . The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member might ask any questions he liked, but he must not introduce them by any observations. Colonel RAWDON would ask, first, if the Govern. ment had prepared any Bill to legalise the Presbyterian mixed marriages in Ireland ; and, secondly, if it were the intention of the Government to introduce a clause into such Bill, bestowing on the Presbyterian ministers of Ireland the right Which they had so long exercised, of uniting in marriage the members of their order. Lord ELIOT could only reply, as his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government had replied to a similar question, on a former occasion, namely, that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill without delay, legalising the marriages referred to, but that they must take time to consider the prospective measures to be adopted with regard to such marriages far the future. He would add that directions had been given for the drawing of the Bill which would be introduced as speedily as possible. SPANISH AFFAIRS. Colonel FOX wished to ask if it was true that the noto rious Cabrera had had permission from the King of the French to leave Calvados.in the south of France, to come to Paris ? He had been informed that Cabrera was either now in Paris e or was expected there daily. This report h a d caused considerable alarm in the minds of many Spa niards in this country. He had also understood that a committee of disaffected Spaniards was about to be formed in this country, for the purpose of aiding in the organi zation of a revolutiottal movement in Spain, which it was intended simuktbrea out in April. air It PEEL had received no official announcement of the arrival of Cabrera in Paris ; but the same report _..y. :: ~LS:d:. which had reached the Hon. Gentleman had also reached the Go' ernment ; therefore he could not po,itively state that Cabrera was not in Paris. With regard to any attempt to organize a revolution in Spain by a committee in this -country, he had no hesitation— ROYAL COMMISSION. The Right Hon. Baronet was interrupted by the ap pearance of the Black Rod, who summoned the House to attend at the Bar of the House of Peers, to hear her Majesty's assent given by Commission to a certain Bill. The SPEAKER then left the' House to go up to the House of Peers, attended by several Hon. Members. The SPEAKER shortly after returned, and informed the House that the Royal Assent had been given by com mission to a certain Bill (for which see Lord's Report.) Sir ROBERT PEEL said that he had been inter rupted by the necessary departure of the Chairman from the House, in answering the questions put by the Gallant Officer opposite. The Gallant Officer had asked him whether or not her Majesty's Go vernment were aware of the arrival, or of the ex pected arrival, of Cabrera in Paris. To that question he (Sir Robert Peel) had answered that they had received no information of the arrival, or with respect to the probable arrival of Cabrera in that capital. But the same report which had reached the Gallant Officer had reached the Government, that Cabrera had arrived, or was expected to arrive, in Paris. But what his object was, if he had ar rived, it was impossible for them to say. As the Ho nourable and Gallant Colonel had referred to conspi racies he (Sir R. Peel) could only express his earnest hope that the Spanish Government, supported by the great body of the Spanish people, would have strength and energy enough to resist any such machinations. Colonel FOX begged to add that his principal object in putting the question was to give the Right Baronet an opportunity of refuting a report stating that the French Government lent itself to such proceedings. Sir R. PEEL desired it to be understood that he did not in the slightest degree allude to the French Go vernment as being connected with such proceedings ; in fact, he referred to an alleged conspiracy being commenced in this or some other country ' • and he repeated th a t t h e Spanish Government would have power enough to put down such proceedings. - EASTERN AFFAIRS. Sir C. NAPIER asked whether the Right Hon. Baronet would give directions for search to be made at our embassay at Constantinople , for those papers al ready asked for, respecting the instructions given to our officers with regard to the retreat of the Egyptian troops? SIR. R. PEEL said he would give those directions, but if the papers should be forthcoming he. would use his own discretion as to bringing them forward. Sir C. NAPIER asked then if the Right Hon. Bart. would produce to the House a copy of the instructions given to Sir R. Stopford.—(Hear, and laughter.) Sir R. PEEL would decline for the present. Mr. MURPHY gave notice that on Monday next he would call the attention of the House to the deten tion and imprisonment of certain of her Majesty's subjects by the authorities of Central America. Also, that he would move for copies of any correspondence that might have taken place on the part of her Majesty's Government on the subject, and also for any d es p a t c h es w hi c h t h e Government might have received from Sir Charles Metcalf. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN gave notice that move, when the House wen t i n t o C ou ,- L aie should ,Ittee upon the subject of the Corn-laws, thlo- British colonial wheat be admitted into this - all Sir CHARLES N country' at a duty of ls. House went -'VIER gave notice that when the i ", - Committee on the ia Bisho Bill, h .nould . move, as an amendment,West that ln two be sub ps uted for three. _ _ Mr. 11. BERKELEY gave notice, that at the first opportunity he would call the attention of the House to the present state of property in British Guiana. If means were furnished for facilitating the importation of free la bour, and that means were taken for bettering the condi tion, both spiritual and temporal, of free labourers in that country, the merchants of Guiana would not fear compe tition with those of any other part of the world. SCOTTISH JUDGES. The LORD ADVOCATE trusted the House would bear with him while he trespassed for a short time upon its attention. It would be in the recollection of Hon. Members, that in the course of a debate which had taken place last week, a statement had been made by the Right Hon. Gentleman, the late Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, that the late Lord President of the Court ofession in Scotland had not, doting the last two years, performed the duties of that im poltant branch of the Courts of Scotland. That statement was so inconsistent with the real facts of the case, that he (the Lord Advocate) considered the Right lion Gen tleman had made it upon erroneous foundation. He could state with confidence that the Lord President, r down to the .close of the Civil Court, had regularly discharged the duties of his office. The Honourable Gentleman had moved for a return of the number of jury cases during a certain period ; and in the course o: the discussion strong reference was made to him (the Lord Advocate), and allusions were made of no very de licate or pleasing character. lie had felt considerable diffi culty as to the course which he ought under these circum stances to pursue. He might have stated that the re fusal to grant the return was the act solely of her Ma jesty's Government. lie wished, however, t o g i ve every publicity to the facts. Indeed nothing could be so foolish as to attempt secrecy with respect to a document which might be obtained from the attorney's clerks. his at tendance in that place rendered it impossible for him to speak at the time of the discussion from his own personal information; and he felt that it would be better to remain perfectly silent, than' to make what might appear to be a qualified statement. He had, therefore, written imme diately after the debate to Lord Chief Justice Clerk ; and his Lordship, on receiving his letter, had taken to his councils the Solicitor-General of gcotland. He would read to the House that part of the reply which ap peared to him, to bear most immediately upon the question. The Chief Justice Clerk said, as to the statements he (the Lord Advocate) had made, that the late Lord President had presided at all the Jury trials up to July last, and had remained in Court in one of those cat e; until near nine o'clock at night, and was out next day at 10, for the next trial, not one whit the worse for his attendance so late on the evening before. It so happened (said the Chief Justice Clerk), that after the Solicitor-General and he had taxed their memories with reference to the Lord President's attendance in his Court, they recollected that there were no more than three cases in which any one had sat for the late Lord President since Nov. 1830.—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) Such was the statement he (the Lord Advocate) had received from such very high autho rity as the Lord Chief Justice o f S cot l an d . H e d i d not impute anything unkind to the Honourable Gen tleman opposite, but he seemed so urgent in the observations he had made that he (the Lord Advocate) was determined to take measures to ascertain how the facts with reference to the matter really were, and he thought it right to lay those statements before the House.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WAKLEY observed that the discussion arose the other night upon the motion proposed by the colleagues of the Learned Lord opposite (the Lord Advocate) ; he had no right to blame his (Mr. Wakley's) side of the House—(Laughter)—for the acts that' gave rise to the dis cussion were those of the Noble Lord's colleagues. If the motion was granted there might be no blame at all attached to the Lord President.—(Hear, hear.) How ever, the statements made by the Lord Advocate were, as far he (Mr. Wakley) was concerned, perfectly satis factory.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK said he would take all the blame to himself with reference to the observations which were called indelicate by the Hon. and Learned Lord opposite. He objected to the refusal of the motion upon constitutional . grounds, for he thought justice should be above suspicion, and if the motion was refused he felt that suspicion would rest not only upon the Lord President, but upon Honourable Gentlemen opposite. The explanation then made should have been made before. Mr. HENEAGE made some observations which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. VERNON SMITH said that he should defer his motion for " a copy of the Order in Council relating to the emigration of Hill Coolies to the Mauritius, recently is sued ; and any correspondence relati ng th ere t o s i nce October, 1841," till Tuesday, the Ist of March. ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE CORN-LAWS. The Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Corn-laws having been read, Sir W. CLAY rose, but the great noise occasioned by Hon. Members leaving the House, did not enable us to catch the commencement of the Hon. Gentleman's address. He at once confessed his want of ability to reply to the speech with which the Hon. Member for Knaresborough closed the debate last night, and if he had the ability, he should not have the inclina tion to do so.—(Hear.) He should be unwilling to do any thing to damp the ardour of the Hon. Gentle man, or to check the career which was likely to afford so much amusement to the House, and to debar the party to which he had the honour to belong, from the enjoyment of that amusement. He turned with satisfaction to the speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and he (Sir W. Clay) was quite sure he was only ex pressing the sense of the House when he said, that all who heard it could not fail to hare appreciated the ability, as well as the courtesy and moderation, which characterised it throughout.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Before, however, he (Sir W. Clay) attempted to reply to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman, ho would briefly advert to the speech of the Right Hon. Member for Tam- Worth, in which he introduced his motion to the House. The Right Hon. Baronet had omitted all reference to the influence of the Corn-laws upon the currency, al though he could, not but know that amongst all who were acquainted with that subject, whe ther in theory or in practice—whether by com mercial experience, or by the laborious applica tion of profound thought to its investigation —there existed an universal opinion that the Corn-laws:did affect the currency, and produced those fluctuations, those alter nations of expansion and contraction, the effect of which produced such extensive suffering. He must know that such was the universal opinion, and he (Sir W. Clay) must think it was his duty to show either that so pre . alent an opinion was unfounded, or that the measure proposed would remove the tendency.—(Hear.) But in the elaborate speech which occupied three hours, the Right Honourable Baronet did not make the least allusion whatever to that subject, or to the disturbance which the Corn-laws occasioned in our commercial relations with other countries, Now it certainly did appear to him (Sir William Clay), that the silence of the Right Honourable Baronet on such a point, and his abstaining from denying that the Corn-laws had an effect more or less in producing the languishing state of our commerce,was not without some significance. Indeed, he thought that silence spoke volumes. But there were still more extraordinary ' omissions in that speech.—(Hear, hear, hear.) it was an extraordinary omission to make no reference whatever to the reports to Government upon this sub ject. There was a gentleman sent out by the Govern ment itself to obtain practical information as to the comparative cost of the article in different coun tries. Before the meeting of Parliament, many rumours were spread abroad as to the probable result of that inquiry upon the plans of the Right Hon. Ba ronet. The adherents of the Right Hon. Baronet were exulting and exclaiming, - " You see that Sir Robert Peel will not take a matter in hand without proper information, He would not bring forward any crude or un digested measures—he would ground his pro position on accurate information. He had sent fer accurate information." Such were the opinions of the people out of doors with respect to 'the measure, which they hoped from the Right Honourable Baronet. (Hear, hear.) The House also ex pected that his measure - would be grounded on the details he had so obtained, re g arding the protective duty he m ean t t o g i ve t o the lan ded interest.—(Hear, hear.) But so far from that being the case, the iti'int Honourable Gentlem an never a ll u d e d i u his speech to Mr. Meek's report, and the public would never have heard of its existence if it ha:1'11ot been laid on the table. It did appear to him that the Right Hon.. Gentleman made a careful and well-digested speech. Looking to his great ability, and his acknow ledged skill in debate, it was impossible not to feel that those points which he (Sir R. Peel) must allow to have been important, were designedly omitted by him, knowing that they were incapable of being used for his assistance. Ile would now address himself to the speech of the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the 11-LA of Trade. - That Right Hon. Gentleman t.,1 not follow the example of the Right Hon. pare:let, but he boldly faced . those difficulties from 1. :"...tCh the Right Hon. Baronet had shrunk. lit may be doubted. however, whether the discre= tion of the Right Honourable Baronet was not better than the courage of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. That Right lion. Gentleman assumed throughout his speech, that the question was one between a fixed duty and a sliding scale. No doubt the question between his Noble Friend (Lord John Russell) and the Right Honourable Gentleman might be fairly said to be one between a fixed duty and:a sliding scale ; but the Right Hon. Gentleman had no authority to assume it to be a question between a sliding scale and a fixed duty of Bs. His, Noble Friend had carefully abstained from stating the exact amount of duty—he only advocated the principle of a fixed duty. The Noble Lord said he conceived the agricultural interest entitled to protection for the exclusive burthens to which it was subjected ; and he also advocated a fixed duty to prevent too great and too sudden an alteratioati, If a fixed duty were calculated upon the burden, borne peculiarly by the landed interests, then _ the duty ought to be much lower than Bs. Mr. r.bulloch had calculated that a ss. duty would be 1837, when he (Sir W. Clay) liut) ' e:officient. • In brought forward a motion for the repeal Of ik existing - Corn-law, he had been anxious te. 1110 . ". fixed duty, and he tout 'arguments to justify a ss. l ' 3 .. assure the Right Hon. Gentle man that he coy' ..0 not on the score of any peculiar burde n s b° l - ..e by the landed interest, find any argume , - -.Ls to justify. it. If the imposition of a duty NW' -- ....e grounded on the necessity of preventing too sudden a revulsion among the agriculturists,then it would bemore capable of defence. lie felt bound to say that in his opinion a fixed duty could not be justified on the grounds of any:peculiar burdens borne by the landed in terest. There was one feature throughout the arguments, both of the Right Honourable Baronet and of the Right Ron. Gentleman who had spoken last night, which had peculiarly struck him (Sir W. Clay). It was that both the Right Hon. Gentlemen had strenuously denied that the Corn-laws had caused the present distress in the manufacturing districts, and they both frequently and emphatically declared that they did not anticipate that the proposed alterations would tend materially to alleviate the distress. They had so frequently made the statement that he thought their agricultural supporters might well ask them why they interfered with the existing law at all.—(Cheers.) He (Sir W. Clay) might perhaps not be prepared altogether to deny that, perhaps, in some instances, too much had been attributed to the Corn-laws as the cause of the existing distress ; but if it was meant to be contended that the Corn-law had not any affect in producing the existing distress, that was a proposition which he was by no means prepared to admit. (The Hon. Gent. then read extracts of evidence taken be fore the Agricultural Committee, as we understood, show ing that the present Corn-laws tended in a very great degree to bring about a decrease in the growth of corn.) With respect to the arguments of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite (Mr. W. E. Gladstone) in reference to the growth of rye, if he (Sir W. Clay) were disposed to take any one thing as an illustration of his own view of the case, it would be the instance cited by the Right Hon. Gentle man. l le (Sir W. Clay) would show them, fiom a case in Prussia, where no stimulus 1% as der.ved from any corn law, that it was merely a question of supply and demand, and that the fluctuation in the price of rye was as great as in the price of wheat. This was precisely the case of those wh o thought with him (Sir W. Clay) on this subject—the more extended the circle was from which the supply Was drawn the more were the chances of invalidating the supply diminished. For instance, a field was more uncertain in its produce than a farm ; a farm was more uncertain than a county, a county than a kingdom, a kingdom than a continent, and even a continent would be more un certain than the whole world. If then, under a free trade, they committed themselves to the system of de riving their supply from every country and variety of cli mate and soil, precisely in the same degree did they increase the steadiness of that supply, and diminish the chancey of fluctuation. The next point taken up by the Hon. Gentleman was an attempt to show that the existing Corn-laws—for he had expressly referred to them—ha been falsely charged with having an injurious effect. He would state the Hon. Getleman's argument, and he believed it to be this, that at present two millions of corn were annually, imported, and that, taking the average amount of their" home produce, and the chances of bad harvests, no less amount of importation of foreign pro duce could be reckoned on ; he could not, therefore, see but the same effect would be produced on the currency under a free trade as at present. Now, the fallacy into. which the Hon. Gentleman had fallen was this—that he had taken no notice of the very great difference between the creation of a market and the ext6n sion of one.—(llear, hear.) At present, if' they wanted corn, and went suddenly to any corn producing country—say the fertile valley of the Mississippi, they found no demand for their manufactures, nor in clination to take them ; there were neither dealers, nor store-keepers, nor agents, nor any of the ma chinery without which their manufactures could be distributed.—(Hear, hear.) They were all essential to a market, and a market could not exist without them. It was in vain to expect to prevail upon such a people in a moment to give corn for their manufactures. But let them reverse the case, and ask what this district would have been if they had been doing a regular trade with them to the amount of a million quarters a year ? When the period came that required an increase in their trade, there would be a better opportunity of doing so in consequence of the American pur chaser having acquired the habit of enjoying their manufactures, and thus creating a demand for then. He confessed that, to his mind, this was absolutely con clusive against the argument of the Right Hon. Gen tleman. Now, the Bight Hon. Gentleman had attempted to show that, under the law proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet, there could really be as free trade as there could possibly be with a fixed duty. It was absolutely essential to the very existence of a mutually beneficial trade that there should be a free interchange and com munication between the merchants of either country, Ile really believed that out of • Parliament the questir in had in a great measure ceased to be a political.'one. This was the case to a great extent is the large borough which he (Sir W. Clay) had the honour to represent; there those who, in other respects wi n supporters of the Government, regarded the sliding scale as a sys tem highly injurious to the country,--(Hear, hear.) If his Noble Friend and his colleagues could have carried their Bill of last year they might have gone to the people of foreign countries, and have said, "Bring us that corn which you can produce more cheaply than ourselves, and we will give you in return those articles which we can produce more advantageously than you." " Come when you will," they might have said, ' our ports are at all times open to you ; at all times will you be able to calculate the price at which you can supply our people with food ; at no time will we entrap or deceive you by fiscal regulations ruinous to your enter prises, and the fluctuations in which you can neither foresee nor prevent." Such was the language which his Noble Friend and his colleague. might have used, could they have prevailed upon Parliament to accede to the mea sure. But could the Right H')n. Baronet and his Gc.- vernment do so ?—(Hear.) lie thought they could not. He thought the Government should not invite the people ovithe country to engage in a gambling, a destruc tive, and a ruinous commercial intercourse.—(Hear, hear.) The people of this country know of the existence of food in abundance, which their own industry might secure for them if they were permitted to get it; they know,' that the harvests of the whole world are at their COA' mend, if their own Government would permit theft' to avail themselves of them.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of that, although they stand in need of food, they fsre to be restricted in their supplies, and the Government interposes and tells the people though they do vvarit food, they shall not be permitted to get it unless certain enormou s . Bart. then, na, duties are extracted from them. ("e "on. detaii off a very inaudible tone of voice, entered into a _ the measure proposed by Sir R.
