The Sun. — London, England, 1834-02-05 00:00:00

The Speaker, aecompabied by the usual officera, and nearly all the Members present, about tOO, went up to the House of Lords, where they remained about twenty minutes. On his return he immediately retired, without adjourning the House, At four o'clock precisely the STEALER resumed the Chair, at which time about 100 Members were present. The SPEAKER stated to the House, that in pur suance of the power vested in him by the Act of the 240 Geo. 111. cap. 26, he had issued his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown, to issue writs for the election of Members to serve in Parliament for the following places :—For the city of York, in the room of Capt.

Howard ; for the borough of Huddersfield, in the loom of Mr. Lewis Fenton, deceased ; for the shire of Berwick, in the room of Mr. Marjoribanks, deceased ; and for the eastern division of Somerset, in the room of Mr. Brigstock, deceased. Two Members were then introduced and took the oaths and their seats, viz.: Mr. H. Fleetwood, Member for Preston, who was prevented by illness from taking his seat last Session ; and Mr. Blickburne, Member for Huddersfield. Mr. C.

Major FANCOURT gave notice that on the 18th March he would move a resolution of the House for the abolition of flogginz in the army. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE gave notice that on the 18th February he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the small livings in Scotland. THE - CORN LAWS. Mr. H. HANDLEY wished to ask whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose any alteration in the corn laws, or whether they would oppose any alteratio❑ if proposed by any other Member. Lord ALTHORP stated that it was not the intention sf Government to propose any alteratio❑ in the corn laws. As to the other part of the question, if any Hon. Gentleman thought fit to propose any alteration, be would do so without the sanction of the King--(Hear, bear)—and his Majesty's Government would not support such a mea sure.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CHICHESTER gave notice, that on the 20th March he would move for a Bill to repeal the Septennial Act. Sir A. AGNEW gave notice for the introduction of three Bills for the due observance of the Lord's Day. — Mr. DIVETT give notice of hie intention to move on the 18th of March for leave to bring in a Bill for the ex tinction of churcb_rates throughout England and Wales.

On the 6th of March be would move for a Select Committee to consider the present corn laws. Mr. WARBURTON gave notice that he would move for a Select Committee to consider of the laws regard ing the practice of the medical profession. THE DISSENTERS. Mr. WILKS wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite (Althorp) whether his Majesty's Government had deter mined to bring forward any measure for the removal of the grievances under which the Dissenters laboured ? Lord ALTHORP said his Noble Friend, the Paymas ter of the Forces (Lord John Russell), intended to give notice this evening for bringing in a Bill on the subject of marriages of Dissenters. His .Majesty's Government were aware of the grievances under which Dissenters laboured, and they had applied their attention to the sub ject. The first measure would be a Bill regarding mar riages. Mr. WILKS asked whether his Majesty's Government would support any measure for a national system of regis tration of marriages, births, and deaths? Lord ALTHORP said, before be answered that question it would be necessary to know whether such a measure would be likely to impose any additional expense on the public. As to the want of a registration, that was not a grievance that applied peculiarly to dissenters— (Hear, bear)—but affected all classes. Mr. WILKS gave notice of introducing a Bill for a national civil registration of all marriages, births, and deaths. The Hon. Member said be could not then name the day on which he should introduce his Bill. Mr. RUTHVEN gave notice of a motion for an in quiry into all sinecures, pensions, and places, with a view to learn what may he abolished. Sir T. FREMANTLE gave notice of bringing in a Bill for disfranchising the borough of Stafford. On the motion of Mr. C. WOOD, the Clandestine Outlawries Bill was read a first time. ADDRESS TO THE KING. Mr. LEFEYRE moved the address to his Majesty. He believed that the sentiments of his Majesty's speech wou'd give universal satisfaction to the House and to the country at large, especially as it would prove to the country that his Majesty's Government were not the mere organs of reckless persons having nothing in view but the destruction of property, but that, with the assistance of this Parliament, they would, in the correction of all abuses, preserve the greatest possible respect for private property, and the maintenance of the existing institutions. There could not be a better test or proof of this determi nation than the measure to which his Majesty alluded in his speech—namely, the abolition of slavery in the British colonies.—(Hear.) Notwithstanding all the arguments to prove the doubtful legality and vicious origin of slave property, this House, in the achievement of that glorious object, regarded the rights of private property, and made a sacrifice almost unparalleled in history.—(Hear, hear.) While this measure had given satisfaction to the country, and had had the happiest effects upon the slaves themselves, he was not without hope that it would be the means of producing the entire abolition of slavery in all parts of the world.—(Hear, hear.) And since the people of England had made so great a sacrifice without a murmur, would ■ot the people of the United States, who appreciated like ourselves the value of free institutions, follow the example, and no longer suffer the continuance of negro slavery within their country?—(Hear, and cheers.) His Ma jesty had directed the attention of the House to the benefits to be derived from the inquiries of the Ecclesiastical, Municipal, and Poor Law Commissions. He trusted , inquiry would at 110 very distant period, the municipal would receive the attention of that House, and that those principles would be applied to corporations which bad been applied to the reformed House of Commons, and given the people confidence in it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") With respect to the Ecclesiastical Commis sion, be thought the information it would produce would remove the exaggerated opinions which pre vailed respecting the revenues of the Church ; and Parliament being put in possession of that information would be better able to define what measures are best to be adopted for the interests of true religion and the safety of the Established Church.—(Hear, hear.) In reference to the commission on the poor laws, it would he found that the evils complained of arose, not so much from the present system as from the management under which it was conducted. The agricultural labourer ought to be in a better condition now than formerly, but under the present system of administering the poor laws he had lost that spirit of independence which once distinguished hina.—( Hear.) He now dem indel that as a right which was intended as a matter of fa vour.—( Hear, bear.) In addition to this, the spirit of idle dependence was prolonged and extended, for he brought up his children without shame or remorse to claim parish relief.—(Hear, hear.) Deprived as the agricultural labourer was of education, which after all was sparingly imparted—(Hear)—and seeing the superior comforts of those around him, he had been led into those acts of insubordination which disgraced the winter of 1830, and driven to commit those incendiaries which left such a deep stain in history. He (Mr. L•-fevre) trusted 'hat this Parliament would, in its wisdom, find an effectual remedy for this distressing state of things. As to the course of foreign policy which this Government was pursuing, the information respecting the Turkish empire was very gratifying, and he hoped it might be hailed as the dawn of a better state of things. But that branch of our foreign policy which gave the greatest satisfaction was the intercourse now subsisting be tween this country and the kingdom of France.— ,Loud cries of " Hear.") He trusted that the spirit of rivalry, and those absurd prejudices which once ex isted, were now utterly exploded, and that this Parlia ment would do all in its power to make the alliance of the two countries still closer, because there was no other security for the effectual promotion of free institutions in all parts of the world, nor any better means of checking, as much as possible, the encroachments of despotic power. The state of the revenue must also give the greatest satis faction, and he could wish th it there was not an excep tion to be made on the present occasion respecting the state of the country; bu', from the evidence lung before laid upon that tahle, and their own experience, they were compelled to admit that the agricultural interests, which were the most important in the kingdom, were labouring under the greatest depression.—(Hear, hear.) It was impossible for the corn-grower at present to make any profitable use of his capital ; and were it not for the present existing high prices of stock, many occupiers of land and owners would be insolvent.—(Hear, hear.) Let him not be supposed to be an advocate of high prices : he wished to show merely that the agriculturists were not only made to bear the burdens of the State, bnt had a much larger share thrown upon them than any other class.—(Hear, bear.) The Hon. Member read a statement to prove the effect of local taxation upon a spot of ground comprising 3,500 acres, in a population of 1,277,000, in which the poor rates and other taxes made the whole more than 11. per head ; but there was another burden to which he hoped their attention would he shortly drawn, viz., the tithes.—(Cries of " Hear.") He understood it was the intention of Government to introduce a plan of computation, or some other mode of reduction. He was not disposed to sanction, for one moment, that proposition which, he regretted to say, had found support among a large body of agriculturists in the west of England, that one_thirtieth of the produce of the land should be given to the titheowners instead of one-tenth. He knew that titheholders deprecated any attempt to interfere with their claims, but he trusted they would see the necessity of coming forward liberally to assist in the extinction of this burden. He trusted that something of this kind would be done not only to relieve the titbe-payers, but also to spare the receivers the moral degradation to which they had been subjected. This alteration would also relieve the agricultural labourers, whose case he did not consider hopeless, because his present depression proceeded only from unnatural causes.—(Hear, hear.) There was only one other topic to which it was his duty to allude, viz., the state of Ireland, and the de termination of his Majesty's Government to apply legis lative rigour to that country. He hoped this determina tion would receive the cordial support and vote of that House.—(Hear and cheers.) It was not for want of sympathy for the sufferings of that unfortunate coun try he advocated such a measure, but with the deepest conviction that it would be for the good of Ire land, and an act of kindness towards it. Even if it were not so, were there no other persons whose consent should he obtained to a question that was warmly agitated there ? Were the representatives of England and Scotland to have no voice in the matter? Must they submit to the dicta torial language there openly uttered?—(Hear, hear.) He called upon the Irish Members, who advocated the measure to which he alluded, as they valued the peace and prosperity of their country, to lose not a moment in bringing that question to an immediate issue. —(Hear, hear.) But let them not suppose that, by a system of reckless conduct, by which it was attempted to excite the passions of the people, they would succeed in in timidating the Government. (Hear, hear, hear.) Since that period the Irish Church Bill had passed, the vestry cese bad been abolished, and the Grand Jury system had been remodelled; and whatever measure might be calculated to promote reform in Ireland would no doubt have the best consideration of the House. He could not help hoping that that Union which bad been so ardently desired by even the Catholics them selves—(Hear, bear)—and which had secured for them the blessings of emancipation and a reformed Parliament, would be preserved inviolate, and by the two countries being continued through the Union to be identified, there would be secured for the people of Ireland a full security, and enjoyment of their civil and religious rights.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member then begged to move that a humble address be presented to his ;Majesty, which he read, being in substance a recapitulation of the speech. Mr. MORRISON rose to second the resolution. He would not touch on the topics that had been treated so fully and so ably by his Honourable Friend. The House could not but rejoice at the statement in his Majesty's speech, that the measure for the abolition of slavery had been carried so effectually into operation. It was gratifying also, that notwithstanding the troubled state of politics abroad, his Majesty had been able to preserve to this country the inestimable blessings of peace. That gratification must be greatly increased, from the recollection that it had arisen in a great measure front the good understanding that existed between this country and France.—(Cheers.) He trusted that this would have a good effect on the commercial affairs of the country. With respect to the inquiries adverted to in the speech from the throne, and, more especially, with regard to the municipal corporations, it was a strong proof that his Majesty's Government were determined to suffer no abuses ; and from it the House might hope, that following those inquiries would he an investigation into the state of the law of the country, which would produce a result in perfect harmony with the Reform Bill.—(Hear, and cheers.) His Honourable Friend, who was the representative of a county purely agri cultural, could speak with a knowledge of the state of agriculture which it were not po-sible for him (Mr. M.) to possess. He was sufficiently, however, acquainted with it to know that it had long been in a state of suffering ; at the same time the adjustment of the rents to the price of the produce was much more common than was generally imagined; but he could not hope to see the welfare of agriculture permanently secured until another great question, besides the poor laws, had been finally settled.—(Cheers.) He believed the opinion of all commercial men to be in strict conformity with what his Majesty had stated re specting trade. The commerce of last year was much more prosperous than it bad appeared before. This was evident from the reports that had been made on making in quiries ; but if any doubt existed upon that it would be removed by the statement of a few facts that he would take the liberty of relating. First, he would advert to the Cotton Trade, and the following statement would establish that it had increased 13 per cent. within a year, and not less than 88 per cent. comparing the last with the preceding ten years.

Here he begged leave to pause to do justice to the late Government as well as to the pre sent ; they had originated a series of the most beneficial changes in our commercial policy, and the present ser vants of the Crown, then out of office, bad uniformly supported the same liberal and enlightened views. It would be recollected that in 1526 Mr. Holliisson moved for the repeal of the duty of 6d. per lb. on German wool. He carried his point with great difficulty, and it was asserted that it would be equally injurious to the farmer and to the manufacturer. What had been the result ? The manufacture had enormously increased, and the farmer obtained 2s, per lb. for his wool. The following was a statement of the present condition and improvement in the silk-trade :- Entered for Home Consumption (quantity) in 1832, 4,392,073 lbs. ; in 1833, 4,758,45.3 lbs.-increase per cent. 81,i.

Increase 131 per cent. The Plouse would not fail to bear in mind, that of the last ten years to which he had referred, and which showed such a rapid and stetdy improvement, eight had been years of tree trade.-(Cheers.) The linen trade, to which be would next draw attention, had suffered in consequence of the fall in the price of cotton wool, which had led to the substitution of it in many cases fur flax. During the last thirty years cotton wool had been con stantly becoming cheaper, while flax had experienced no corresponding depression. The following statement was applicable to linen and its manufacture :- Entered for Home Consumption (flax), in 1832,995,512 cwts. ; in 1833, 1,127,736 cwts. (the largest year before was 1825, 1,018,837 cwts.)-Increase 1314 per cent. Prices : Exports-Declared value in 1832, 1,783,4321. ; in 1833, 2,199,4411.-Increase 23 1 ,4 per cent.

The progress of the trade in Dundee had, indeed, been quite astonishing. The import of flax, in 1814, was 3,000 tons. During the year ending Miy 31, 1831, there were imported into Dumb e 15,010 tons of flax and 3,062 tons of hemp. In the year ending May 31, 1833, the imports were, tons of flax, 18,777; tons of hemp, 3,380. The exports had increas,d in an equally astonishing de gree. In the year ending May 31, 1831, it was calcu lated that there were shipped off 50,000,000 yards of linen, 3,500,000 yards of sail cloth, 4,000,000 yards of bagging-in all 57,500,000. The imports of the raw material (flux and hemp), in the year ending May 31, 1833, might he taken as worth 700,0001., as the exports in the same year amounted to 1,600,000/., the difference of 900,0001. remained to be divided between wages and pro fits. He might add that the trade was still increasing in Scotland so fast that it almost threatened to come into successful competition with the cotton trade of England. Another great breach of commerce was the Iron Trade, and the result here was almost as gratifying :- 1' rice of bar iron in Wales raised from 41. 15s. to 71. (in April last it was (1.). Increase in Wales 50 per cent. Exports, declared value- In 1832, 1,190,7481. ; 1833, 1,425,723/. Increase per cent. 1934. 1: was not an unimportant fact, that large orders for iron had been received from abroad, and especially from the United States. That enterprising country seemed anxious to profit by the example ot the inhabitants of Liverpool and Manchester.-(Hear.) Rail-roads upon a most extensive scale bad been commenced, or were completed ; and on this account, hereafter, the orders fur iron might be still larger. At this moment it was probably checked, in some degree, by the high price of iron, and by the difference between the President and the Bank of the United States. He hoped that another country, much nearer our own shores, would soon pursue a aimilir course that France, ere long, would be one of our greatest cus tomers for iron ; and it was scarcely possible that a people so enlightened should long continue to pay a high price for an article merely because , it was produced at home. The Hon. Member said, that though he touched shortly on the leading subjects of the address, yet he was sorry to have so long trespassed on the )louse-(Hear)-but he still felt it his duty to allude to another subject contained in the speech, and that was the state of Scotland ; and he was happy to he able to say that the condition of that coun try was far better than it had been for a long period, and the m irch of improvement was coequal with any part of the British dominions.-(Cheers.) The linen trade was in a far more prosperous condition than it had been for 20 years previous.-(Hear, hear.) There was also a great improvement in other branches of trade in that country ; the number of persons in employment was greater, and the capital of the country was larger, than at any former period.-(Hear, hear.) There was ample testimony of the nature of machinery in that country, for the poor man who had brought up his family to the hand-loom now found other employment for them. Wages were likewise higher, and that arose upon the principle that whatever benefitted the master was sure to extend the be nefit to the servant.-(Cheers.) The improvement of machinery was a sure pledge for the promotion of trade; and, as a testimony of it, he would trouble the House with reading an extract from a letter which he had received from Glasgow, and it stated that from the improvements in machinery, such were the profits on the manufac tures, that wages had increased 10 or 12 per cent., because the improvement in machinery afforded a re. munerating profit to the manufacturer, in which the servant participated, who, instead of bringing up an infant family to the hand-loom, the manufacturer of which could not afford a profit to either master or servant, that family was now brought up to an occupation which was sure to secure to them the comforts of existence. -(Cheers.) Independently of that, the improvement in machinery supplied a large exportation of fancy goods to the American and Persian markets. He would now ask permission of the House for a very few minutes to allude to the state of Ireland-(Hear, hear) -the state of whose manufactures was visibly improved. The linen trade, the staple manufacture to which the country was so indebted, was prosperous. There was also another branch of that manufacture which flourished, and that was attributable to the improvement of machinery, and that was the mill-spun yarn. A very short period ago there was not a single mill in existence, and now be was happy to say that there were nine or ten in the neighbourhood of Belfast.-(Hear, bear, and cheers.) In fact, there were the best prospects for Ireland, as far as regarded her manufactures. All she required was her own industry, and the infusion of British capital.- (Cheers.) Why manufactures did not flourish in the South of Ireland, where every circumstance combined to make them do so, having the command of the British as well as the foreign markets, he could not say, though he must admit, that there were two or three prosperous manufactories in that country ; but why they were not general, could only be attributable to out rage and agitation.-(Loud cheers.) No country pos sessed greater attractions-land was moderate, labour cheap, and she possessed most unequalled geographical ad vantages. He was free to admit that in Ireland there were evils to be redressed, and wrongs to be remedied.-- (Cries of" Hear" from Mr. O'Connell.) He would not then enter into that question which so agitated the country. He meant the repeal of the Union.-(Hear, hear.) He had heard a great deal of arguments in its favour, but there were many against it which demanded the greatest consideration. He was not disposed then to enter into that question, but this he would say that any division of interests amongst these countries would prove detrimental to both. He would conclude by seconding the address. He had felt it his duty to say thus much as an independent Member of Parliament, and he offered his grateful acknowledgments for their having carried that measure which the feelings of the country rendered necessary.-(llear, hear.) The STEALER. having read the motion for as address, Colonel EV ANS rose—He did not anticipate any great information from the gracious speech which was made from the throne, because from time immemorial such speeches were considered of a very vague and undefined description, but the document now before the House, in his opinion, rivalled all its predecessors in that respect. The business of the last session bail been particularly dwelt upon, and, as he thought, unnecessarily. In the address now before the House he was sorry to see so much allusion to agricultural distress, because lie was not aware until this moment of any peculiar distress under which that class laboured.—(No, na ; a❑d Hear, hear.) The few remarks which he should have to offer would partake more of lamentatio❑ for the manufacturing classed, than for the agricultural.—(Hear, bear.) He regretted that nothing was prooliel by way of eco oowy, or reduction of taxes, particularly those which were FO much complained of by the inhabitants of the me tropolis; he alludr d to the house and window taxes. He hoped the Noble Lord opposite would give some prospect of a repeal of those taxes—(Hear, hear)— ' otherwise his anticipation that the Noble Lord intended to retain them would be realised. Those taxes pressed with such extraordinary unfairness on the metropolis that it paid more than all Scotland. The repeal of them was first I advocated by some of the Members of the present Govern ment on the ground of their being a war tax, and the feeling in the public mind respecting them was aggravated on ac count of the disproportion with which they were levied. If a tradesman wished to open a garret window, and a noble man wished to have an extra drawing-room window, the former would have to pay eight shillings or nine shillings, while the latter would only pay one shilling and sixpence; therefore it was impossible that the tax could be deem e d a fair one. The Hon. Mover had complained of the burdens on the agricultural class, and had given in stances of the heavy poor rates in two or three different counties. Certainly those rates were heavy, but they were caused chiefly by the abuse of the labour-rate, and he hoped that would be altered. It was, however, no proof of the distress of the agricultural interest.— ( Hear, hear.) The direct tax on boosts and win dows in the metropolis produced about three millions, while the resources of the metropolis did not keep pace with many other parts of the country. It was well known that the silk trade, the Indian trade, and many others which were chiefly confined to London, were now to a con siderable extent distributed amongst other towns, and yet, by returns laid before the House, it appeared that one third of the whole amount was levied on the metropolis, while not above one eighth or one tenth of the house pro• perty of the country was situated in the metropolis. The repeal of the window tax was brought forward in 1924 and 1525 by souse of the Members of the present Government, among whom were the present Lord Chancellor, the Chief Commissioner of Wriods and Forests, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Hon. and Gallant Member read the motion, which was then made, from the Journals of the House. Those gentlemen thought that its repeal ought to be the first and imme diate measure, and yet after a lapse of ten years, they seemed to think it ought to be the last.—(Hear, hear.) There was another objection to those taxes, namely, that although the Reform Bill was intended to extend the suffrage, they hail the eff et of depriving probably 100,000 voters of that privilege. He hoped, therefore, to hear that it was intended to repeal them.—(Hear.) He thought it would be the duty of some of the Hon. Members for Ireland to move an amendment upon those expressions in the speech of his Majesty, in order to save tt e Ministers front the unpleasant consequences which might ensue. With regard to Portugal, he hoped the inlerroation which some newspapers ventured to put forth, respecting an expected separation or hostility between Spain and Portugal, would be esteemed by the House as he esteemed it, unworthy of credence. He believed the present Regent of Lisbon to be well disposed to that country, and the Government having declared its inten tion formerly to observe a strict neutrality between the contending parties, he hoped he was safe in saying there was not the slightest grounds for supposing that this country would interfere with the internal affairs of Por• tugal. In re'erenee to the state of affairs in the East, he thought some decisive measures should be taken for the prevention of arty undue influence, affecting the commer cial interests of this country. As to Poland, it was time some documentary evidence should be laid before the House, with a view to institute a proper inquiry as to how far this Government would be justified in interfering in the affairs of that unfortunate country.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He would venture to say that the main causes of the dis tresses among the industrious classes of people were the monopoly of the corn trade and the oppressive system of t ixation which had been so long continued. The Right Hon. Vice-President of the Board of Trade in 1830, in one of the most able speeches that probably bad ever been addressed to that House, had most accurately pointed out these grievances—pointed out the necessity of having a new system of taxation, and an entirely reformed fiscal code. Many of the circumstances existed now which were in existence then. Now that Right Hon. Gentleman had given the most wholesome advice to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of that day; he was sorry he had not given the same good advice to his Noble Friend with whom he was now in office. As to the pressure of taxation on the landed interest, he would take leave to read two or three sentences from a speech of the Right Hon. Baronet, Member for Dundee. Those extracts would show no wild and visionary views, but the sentiments of a gentleman completely of the aristocratic school ; and from the whole of the evidence it would clearly appear that the words in the address were completely disproved. There could be no doubt that Government would have done infinitely better had it proceeded at once, and manfully, to relieve the industrious people of this country from the forty millions of taxation which was so heavily pressing upon them, and then, in deed, the commerce of the country might have been ex pected to prosper. In many of the speeches that had been made in that House, and in some pamphlets which had been sent forth to the public, the commencement generally was a tirade against those who had entertained wild and unreasonable prospects of immediate advantage to be derived from the acts of those in office. He could not plead guilry to that. He had looked up to many in office with that high respect to which, as individuals, they were un doubtedly entitled, but he must now view them by their acts, and he was afraid that, by viewing them by their acts, there would be found no inconsiderable portion of alloy predominating in the prevent Cabinet. The reform ing Ministers and the reformed Parliament had com pletely disappointed the hopes of the country.— ( Hear. ) Therefore, he was not now disposed to facilitate their measures, us he bad heretofore done, should they be of a similar character to those which they had already brought to the notice of Parliament. When he recollected that a large portion of the members of this Government had obtained their popularity from former declarations of liberal opinions—when most of them had previou'ly declared themselves to be favour able to short Parliaments, and yet this Cabinet seemed rigidly to adhere to a septennial duration— when lie recollected that many of them spoke in the most that prompt terms against keeping up a large standing army, a main th ta e in c i n n l g oni a e t s, t w hi h s ie p h r t e h se e n re t moment nd yet an army the y w o f 33 e , r 0 e 00 in was no power on earth in a condition, or would venture to molest—when he recollected the eloquent declarations made against the then calumniated Tories in their con duct towards Ireland, which was now governed by harsher measures, and by the maintenance of a larger army than it ever bad been visited with before—when he recollected that the House had been told by the Noble Paymaster of his Majesty's Forces, that the Reform Bill would increase the constituency of Ireland to about one million more voters than it had before, and yet by the restrictive clauses that had been introduced into that Bill the whole of the voters in Ireland did not amount to more than 500,000 — when he recollected that one of the great pledges of the present Government's coming into office was their deter mination to observe strict economy, and yet that the country was now 29,000,0001. deeper in debt than it was a year or two ago, principally occasioned by the extraordinary slave measure, he felt that he could not now facilitate the measures of Government, and he regretted the part he had taken in keeping up the character of Govern ment during the excitement that prevailed upon the Reform Bill. The Hon. Member concluded by saying, he regretted to be compelled to state that there were in that reformed House of Commons not less than 100 placemen and pensioners. Mr. HUME said it was not his intention to follow the other speakers through all the details into which they had entered, nor to discuss the personal merits of any one who assisted in drawing up the address. The simple duty of the House on the present occasion was to notice the views of his Majesty's Ministers, and what measures would be consequent upon those views.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He would call upon his Majesty's Ministers to do that which they asked their predecessors to do, to print the speech, the address, and the amendments, and to allow the House 24 hours for consideration. He considered that necessary, that the House might do jus tice to itself and the country. It was not possible for any one to carry away so long a speech, and address, or to give a decision upon them in five minutes. He re joiced in the political relation between this country and France, and would rejoice in commercial friendship. But what did the deliberative assembly of that country do ? Did they follow the example which the corrupt Parliament of England had introduced ? No. When his Majesty delivered a speech they took time to reflect upon it before they gave their answer. He recollected, that on one occasion a Hon. Baronet moved an arnendmest, and the postponement dale further consideration of the address, and be was very much mistaken if every man now on the Treasury Bench did not support that motion.—(Hear, hear.) He thought h e wa s only doing justice to Ministers to remind them of that circumstance. The people bad been taught to expect much from the reformed Parliament, and they had a right to expect it. Let the Government, then, place the House in a proper position, and not call for an answer, without allowing time for deliberation. He had sel dom beard in that House a speech, either from a mover or a seconder of an address, which had given him greater satisfaction than the present..—(Hear, hear, ,hear.) He thought both Hon. Gentlemen bad in a great measure made up for the omissions of his Majesty's Ministers. The Honourable Mover had exposed the deplorable state of ignorance existing among the agricultural population, and urged the neces sity of an ample provision for their education, of which there was not one word in the speech, although there was, amongst his Majesty's Ministers, a Noble Lord, who bad rode on popularity for many years, by making that subject prominent in all his public addresses ; and who, at the fag end of the last session, proposed the paltry sum of 20,0001. towards the education of the people of England. Was it to be supposed that they could have bad such a speech from a Ministry in which there were two Noble Lords who made national education their theme From January to December, and one of whom was the private counsel of the King ?—(Hear.) Some allusion was made to foreign despots, but it would be well to take a lesson from despotic Russia.—(Hear, hear.) Look at her efforts to raise the moral condition of her people, anti what were the King of Prussia and the Governments of Belgium and France doing? They were applying all the means they possessed for the purpose of advancing the t d ehre revenuesgraiit o t e b but gprheel which were unfor 2inOlp, whicho r o o O v n e l. m , l i g e h n ot t t i h o h e f e thus tli understood p appropriated,g opl e. there He the iven his Majesty's M inisters a pretty .

(1 1 a hot Queens th e o f a m Spain elio r and ati o n Po o r f t t u i g i e a l t , a but s_ iitci lr hd e at r (n e i nothing was done. Of what use was peace, however long protracted, if the taxes which war had intro duced were still continued ? (Hear, hear, hear.) As to the state of the colonies, be very much doubted whether the benefits of the measure which had been so highly extolled, would be found equal to the wishes of the friends of the slaves. Let bins be understood ; he did not object to the principle of the measure, but to the man ner in which it was effected. Very flattering observations were made about the state of the revenue, and he con sidered the Noble Lord, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, pledged to a reduction of taxation, especially as the revenue was so flout.ishieg, and economy was to be introduced. He thought seriously that this was an omission which would excite the suspicion of the people, and he would tell the people of England, from his own experience, that he never knew a Government in tending to reduce taxation without giving an indication of it in the:speech from the throne. It was evident, then, that the continuance of existing institutions, and the k eping up of taxation, was to be the order of the day; this he would tell the people of England; and further, that they must expect no reduction until, by their united voice, they compelled Ministers to make St,— and on this ground, as well as others, he protested against the speech.—(Hear.) He was happy to bear, by the statements of his Hon. Friend, that the manufac turing interests were in a more favourable position than formerly, and he also regretted with him the depression of the agricultural districts. Tne latter was owing to mo nopolies, and causes which favoured those monopo;iet. The proprietors of lend fancied they were benefitting then - selv, s by the present system. But the fact was, they were doing injury to their own property and to the country at large. He was quite w filling to second any effert which might be made to put the agricultural population on the same footing with other classes of the community in reference to taxation. There ought to be no par tiality; partial acts often failed to benefit the per sons for whom they were intended.—(Hear.) He had no doubt that those who now supported those measures would by and by come round to his views ; for he recol lected, in the case of Ireland, when only twenty-eight Members, of whom he was one, voted her the removal of the restrections of the linen trade in Ireland ; yet, in less than three yeats, he had an application front the party who formerly oeposed the measure to support it. He would then pass to the working of the Reform Bill. He felt that the people were bound, or at least war ranted, to call upon Ministers to complete the good work ing of that measure, to which they owed their elevation to, or at any rate their continuance in, office. In com paring the speech delivered by his Majesty that day with the speech which the present Government advised the same gracious Monarch to deliver at the opening of the last session of Parliament, he could not but feel that the dis crepancy which appeared fully warranted him in imputing to that Administration the grossest inconsistency. He would entreat the attention of the House to the exact words of the speech pronounced from the throne on the sth of February, 1833. His Majesty on that memorable occasion said—" Your attention will also be directed to the state of the Ctiurch, more particular ly as regards the temporalities and the maintenance of the clergy. The complaints which have arisen from the collection of tithes appear to require a change of system which, without dimi • nishing the means of maintaining the established clergy in respectability and usefulness, may prevent the collision of interests, and the consequent disagreement and dis satisfaction, which hive too frequently prevailed, between the ministers of the church and their parishioners. It may also be necessary for you to consider what reme dies may be applied to acknowledged abuses, and whether the revenues of the churchfe front to situationshmn et a y y t o n h o aieem t dot a i :an ( o:emoi that I t iesnionieetni o odai tni t rsh . yoeiv a ershradtp l ieef n esamrar o csrw: r al, e ,iiatoaoats c fnei • f e ettsuhhntoi Majesty table and judicious distribution." To that important ques r tion the attention of the Parliament had been directed by the present ministers of the Crown, and what was the course which after that recommendation they thought pro per to pursue? They, forsooth, introduced a Tithe Bill, but it was scarcely more than introduced when it was abandoned, and in the speech at the close of the session the Government thought evidently that the only prudent thing they could do was to avoid all mention of that abor tion of a reform, their measure respecting the state of the church. Every rational man in the community laughed at the idea of humbugging the country with such a thing. Now really it did appear to him inconceivable how any per sonswC fillingr it o h wn a e e the o h ul d a lsirpagevseepeohnt responsible stourdeliver that that th they should It h was av e to d h n speech of last year, but that they should have bad the rashness to hazard such an address to the Legislature when that storm was gathering over their heads, of which be witnessed the unequivocal indications at every public meeting he had attended for some time past. He con fessed he could not advert to those subjects without strong feelings of regret and indignation. Who could, without admitting the influence of such feelings, refer to their proposition for legalizing pluralities ? Ministers at the commencement of last session said that they would submit to Parliament a measure for putting an end to acknowledged abuses, yet the whole session passed away without one word being said upon the subject. To day they certainly had given no promises, and perhaps that was scarcely so bad as what they had dune last year—namely, to be most lavish of promises which yielded no results : it was a difficult matter to determine which plan of operation was the more disastrous to the interests of the country, or to their character as politi cians. Little did they know of the temper and feeling of the country, if they thought they could go on with s estimate s u nti c yin la mdesaf a t oetfshyefNst those meetings . 1 eepeuLt vig e cds ss w we andniisjthi im e h d eßtnh h ti egeohdf Right ts o hut u reoe l d sneso. impressaunnhdter when Gentlemeniii‘,tvehouilpcithoen wouldit discontent of uni formly impressed l thiat that mentione t l h f eo u fpt time eu h rh i c s and ro ra i wheneverenrfdroirymed,,wvas received h e e e ve(i attended ata i t tro% vn h ehn ol the country l vcchdeohi thinge u -s toh n ho t ean r y n fyetweh Irishee y r e haßomand daily , a calling ns Ct donet t hveoh worthrei t cn osh from thath, e e r.

Indeed, the unpopularity alone would be in his opinion a very strong ground to call for the repeal of any tax. Could any man think that the church was supportt fly any thing like the great body of the people ? and most assuredly the mode by which the revenues of the church were collected was any thing but acceptable either to the mass of the people, or to the more intelligent and reflect ing few whose opinions had influence with the public. The abhorrence of tithes was, however, not confined to a few—it spread itself far and wide ; there was not a man from one end of the empire to the other who did not feet tithe as a most grievous impost, galling in the mode collection, objectionable as to the nature of its applie,tion, and, most of all, to be condemned as an impediment Cu agricultural imp rovement and a tax b a rubPa°raia ian er this country oug ht to be ashamed.

It wa s an ancient :r e i l lf lerable burdens ? Did any Hon. Member flatter hi Fof with the notion that the vague and indefinite langlisq,? Yes, forsooth, they were to legislate on it " in duel,. son." He should be glad to learn what was mea ni i v ; " due season ;" who could explain that which mght as c , e the King's speech meant anything apploaching to ael i le . i 3 , anything or nothing? It was upon grounds such . 4 had stated that he could not give his assent to any add' s , being a mere echo of the speech, and therefore any e tt a e , sat down he should move an amendment, pledging , House to those principles which Ministers themselves roc, fessed twelve months ago; and vet it was almost much to expect consistency from those who, to the num' r of 275, gave a vote which oso were found a dor two afterwards to rescind. Had there ever been el: thing of that stilt even in the days of the the reagh Administrations, which the M em bera of t her as the days o f w hippi ng -in and dragooning the IP° a the present Gov e r nmen t h a d d e nounced times ou t of our of Commons? The whole annals of the unreformed liament pres en t e d no thing so disgraceful. La st year t" cry of Mi n i s t ers was " Give 114 time." Well , the Plit: liament did give them time, and after all nothing done ; an d t h e en d of the session came, and sti ll there 0,/, nothing but promises :—" wait, wait till next session; and now the second session had arrived, and so far ha° an attempt at performance, they had not even the greet: make a promise. Ministers could manage to be silent e,„ some important topics—they could be vague and indefienei on others; but when they came to a subject that sni t their taste, they could be abundantly specific and p ee s vise. The only subject they did handle in detail was t . r s t a te of Ireland, and there they indulged in denuno tions which, to say the least of t h e m, were uncalled fbri, indeed, they were little else than denunciations directes t against an individual. It well became the Government of a great country to put into the mouth of the Monarch: in addressing the legi slature, a notice of matters that ong rather to have excited contempt than any other feeling:, but how great were lit tle thin g s to little men ; to tbef ai-torted vision Daniel O'Connell appeared the ruler Ireland, and all that related to him they viewed thromil,go, a medium in which every thing appeared out of itssal preportions.

Here, then, they came back upon that selfsalli; vague and indefinite phrase "in due season."
