The state wete in large bi large numbets ; sepa rated from Brest distance, and not mixing in poatics ; they lived contentedly, providing they It id anything. It was therefore a mistake to imagine that no great distress pre vailed amongst them, because it was not made known. He would detain the house while he made a few remarks in their defence. It was argued, that a benefit would accrue to the farmer from having a low rent to pay, no matter how low the prices of food were.—(Hear, hear, bear.) He certainly was no advocal-t for 1411 rents; they should be reduced, and reduced in pro portion to the times. Some exceptions certainly occurred, hut he was speaking generally of the disposition among landlords to afford the tenant a fair rate of remu neration. He himself knew one landlord who, not withstanding all the reductions that were made since the peace, made a reduction lately to the amount of 15 percent.—(Hear, hear.) Many of the small landed pro prietors had the will to follow that example, but not the ability. It was useless to ask the landed proprietors to bring reductions below a fixed point; many of them must give up their own residences, and retire to the Continent, were they obliged-to comply with the unrea sonable reductions that some would demand of them. How was an individual to know what a farm was capable of producing ? The produce after having been calculated was subject to great qualification by the cc. Teroua reductions that were necessary to be made. After all the necessary reductions bad been made,of course the proportion of clear profits, both to the landlord and tenant, would then appear. If there was a protection main tained mutually between the tenant and landlord the re muneration and profits to both would be equally secure. According to the argument fif some hon. gentlemen, the farmers had received all the relief they were entitled to._(bear, hear.) Now the farmer was obliged t make one reduction for rent, one for the cultivation o the soil, another for the loss of capital, a third for the landlord, and a fourth for himself, and upon the whole it would be seen there was a clear loss of 20 per cent. If it was good for the landlord and tenant to main tain the corn laws, still the labourer who shout 1 have his food cheap, was dependant upon the farmer, a nd, in conse quence of the high prices, where twelve labourers used to be employed on one farm, not more than six are now employed.—(Hear, hear.) The farmer had plenty of work . for them, but he could not afford to pay them, and (PRICE 7D.) to look to our Eat and West India possessions exclusively for our• supply of cotton, and:to secure ourselves against war by exchanging our manufactures for the produce of America, than to take anv of those secondary means of protecting ourselves from the dreadful consequences of war. Those who advocated the change of the corn laws in that house did it with the view to the hgricultural interests of the country, and that those interests might no longer remain on an insecure, hut be placed on a solid basis. They were convinced, that for their real and permanent security, a change in the present system must be made. There were no means so certain of increasing the ma nufactures and consumers as by encouraging our export trade. He knew it might be said by those who main tained the agricultural side of this question, that by encou raging our trade and manufactures it increased the value of land in the neighbourhood of large towns, but it did not generally increase the value of land over the country. In answer to that he would reply, that it was esta blished before the committee of agriculture that one of the greatest effects had been to equalize the prices of land. The right hon. baronet opposite (Sir J. Graham) had alluded very much to the evidence which had been given before the agricultural committee, and it would have been desirable if he had turned his attention _to the evidence given before the committee upon trade which was appointed last session. He would have then found that if there was anything from which our com merce suffered more than another it was the want of returns. Almost the only difficulty which the trade of this country experienced was, in fact, the difficulty of retaining returns, and it was the bounden duty of the Go vernment to afford every facility to remove it. It appeared from the evidence given before the committee, that nothing could more effectually remedy the grievances under which that unfortunate race of men, the band-loom weavers, suffered, than to enable them to procure cheap bread, and allow them to exchange their manufactures with those who were the natural customers of this country. But it appeared from the evidence given by the witnesses summoned before that committee, that if to any country it was important to have free and constant returns for its manufactures—it was most necessary to a country which overflowed with capital, and which required constant employment for the accu mula.ing wealth of the empire. Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Gurney, and many others of the most respectable wit • rinses who were brought before the committee, had stated that if there was one thing more than another strongly characteristic of the present time, it was that this country was almost suffering—(Hear)—from the redundancy of capital. It was an incontrovertible fact, that where there was a redundancy of capital, no thing could be so advantageous to a country—nothing so indispensable, as a system of free trade. But if in a country which abounded with capital it was important to encourage every possible means of employing that capital, it became still more important to do so in a time of peace, when prices were low, and when, consequently, that capital would go further than it as ould at any other time. He was doubly convinced that the question, unless brought to a satisfactory /settlement by that house, would be come the Catholic question of this country. He was sorry that it had been the case from the first up to the present moment, that the pre-eminency of the landed aristocracy had been the great curse of the country.—(Hear, hear, bear.) From long con viction be felt that if there was anything more feta! to the interests of the country than another in these times, it was the pampered landed aristocracy which natuarhy had led to a pauperised people. He maintained that the best policy for the house to pursue was to unshackle the country from those bonds which now fettered the com merceof the country. He had no wish to draw any invidious comparisons, hut as the hon. baronet had so be-praised the landed interest, he felt bound in justice to offer a few words in favour of the manufacturing and shipping in terests, with which he was so intimately connected ; acid he must say that those interests had never been done justice to in that house.—(Hear, hear.) The question was not between any small conflicting interests but was really a great national question, and it would be to the honour, the real and lasting honour of the united legislature, in the name of the nation, to abolish or greatly modify the corn laws. The Earl of DARLINGTON said that he thought the present motion would be productive of no good result, but on the contrary, that it would be attended with most injurious consequences.—(Hear, hear.) After hearing the most extraordinary remarks, and the inferences drawn from them, he considered it his duty not only to that house but to the landed in terest with which be was connected, to offer a few brief remarks upon them. For some time he had given his best and undivided attention to this subject, and the more so since he had occupied the position of representative of a large agricultural county, from which he had that day presented a petition, signed by the principal yeomanry and inhabitants of the county. He would call the attention of the house to this petition.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It might he said that they had drawn the picture in too high and glaring colours; at the same time he must observe, that the petition was couched in the most respectful language. They complained, that for a long time they had been labimring under a considerable state of distress, that they bad hitherto borne their distresses patiently, but owing to the great fall of every description of produce, and to the burdens which pressed upon the land and remained undiminished, it was utterly impossible fer them, though living in a state of the utmost frugality, to exist, and at the same time to bring up their families in that respectability to which they were entitled.—(Hear, hear, bear.) They further stated, that hitherto they had looked forward to better times : they had raised no clamour, but the times were becoming every day worse and worse. They further stated that if the house expected the improved system of hus bandry to be continued, they must grant some sort of relief, as otherwise the land must return to that state in which it had formerly been, and a large portion of the agricultural population would be thrown out of employment. He would now proceed to state why he thought the pre sent system of corn laws the most advantageous. It had been asserted that as the law at present stood, it was for the benefit of the landed interest. He denied that it was; it had been devised by that great statesman, Mr. Canning, and had given general satisfaction to the country at the time. It was, to a certain extent, a boon to the landed interest, and a sort of compromise between the two parties who were divided upon that question. On the one hand it insured the supply of a sufficient quantity of foreign grain, which would be ready in times of scarcity, and, on the other hand, it prevented an inordinate supply of foreign corn from being brought into the market, which, if a free trade was allowed, must have been the case. The first thing the house had to consider was, whether it would be for the general interest to depend for a supply upon the soil, or upon the foreign growers. At a meeting lately held in the county which he represented, a master manufacturer had given it as his opinion that all the land tillage of the country should he laid down in grass.—(Hear, hear.) This was probably the opinion of many persons, but he would only say that to those who held arguments and opinions of this sort, it was perfectly useless to offer any argument in defence of the corn laws. Some still thought that a certain supply of foreign corn should be kept in the country. He thought it was perfectly idle to suppose that the people of this country could compete with foreign countries. That was, in his opinion, quite impossible, and therefore the house could not ask the agriculturists to carry on their trade, not only without remuneration, but possible loss. Trades of every description in every country received protection, and why therefore should not the agriculturist be entitled to it ? II he was allowed to hazard an opinion, he should say that the agriculturist had the best claim. If they were not to have it, he would ask how it was possible, burdened as they were with no less a sum than five millions of poor rates, highway rates, and church rates and paying their labourers in proportion to that taxation, how, he would ask,was it possible for them to compete with foreigners—(Hear, bear),—was that or net, lie would ask, a fair argument for the British farmer?--(Hear , hear.) Io his opinion, the union of the a gricultural and manufacturing interests of the country constituted its strength, and enabled her to compete with her enemies. Such being the case, he regretted to ate the jealousy that existed on the pat of the manufacturing interest against that of the agriculturist, the very party to whom they first owed their origin and greatness.—(Herr, hear, hear.) That those two interests were de pendent upon each other, it was only necessary to re for back to what had taken place in the cod:ltry f the last few years, and, doing that, h e chal lenged any gentleman IQ shot`' a single instance they were in consequence thrown upon the poor rates. He would say that since this bill had been in operation the greatest possible advantage had accrued. One of the chief objects of the bill was to secure the steadiness of price, That object had been undoubtedly attained. If any one would examine the prices for the last 35 years they would see little or no variation. Under these circumstances he considered the bill had attained every object for which it was framed, and procured, which was another great obj,!ct, a sufficient and constant supply of corn. With regard to a fixed duty, he confessed his opinion was most strongly fixed, and even if it were not, lie knew no means of fixing the amount unless they could fix the seasons ; they could not fix the amount of duty; as that which would be sufficient fur a bad crop, would be too much for a fair crop, and vice versa. He maintained that the sum of :255. would, at the present moment, be the least amount of duty they could fix.—(Cries of " Oh," and " Hear.") The reason that prices were now low was to be found in the quantities of wheat that were now brought from Ire land. He should not move the amendment of which he had given notice, as he had received a note from the high est quarter—from a noble lord, a cabinet minister—re questing him not to press his amendment, as it was the wish of government to have the bon. member for middle sex left in as small a minority as possible. He should comply with this application, though his opinion of the original motion remained unchanged.—(Hear.) Mr. P. THOMSON was sorry to say that he had the misfortune to differ in opinion from many friends with whom he was in the habit of acting, and be differed from none more strongly than from his right hon. friend the member for Cumberland. He must beg leave, in the first instance, to correct a misstatement made by the noble lord who had just sat down. The noble lord had stated, if he understood him rightly, that be had withdrawn his amendment because it was the desire of the government that the hon. member for Middlesex should he left in as small a minority as possible. He denied the statement. The very circumstance of his being a member of the go. vernment, and yet voting with the hon. Member for Middlesex, was, he conceived, at once an answer to ti,e assertion. The fact, moreover, on which he denied the statement was that the question, was an open question with the government.—(Cries of "No, no," " Oh, oh.") Oa the ground alone that he was a member of the go vernment, though not of the cabinet, and yet was voting for the motion, he thought the house might see the cor rectness of his opinion. The Earl of DARLINGTON explained. He had said that the communication had been made to him front a high quarter—a member of his Majesty's Government, and a Cabinet Minister.—(Cheers from the Opposition benches.) Mr. P. THOMSON—WeII, that did not impugn in the slightest degree his assertion.—(A laugh.) What might be the opinion of any individual mentber of his Ma jesty's Government was quite a different question ; but if tie had understood the noble loid to say that it was the wish of his Majesty's Government, and if this were not on his part a mistake, he thought his standing there at the present moment a sufficient answer to the noble lord's assertion.—(Hear, hear.) His abject was to discharge the duty be had to perform in keeping in mind the example of the hon. member for Middlesex, who had introduced the subject with the utmost temper, with the utmost mo deration, and with perfect harmony. He felt more tho necessity of this because he could not disguise from him self the conviction which he entertained from the appear.. once of the house last night that he was addressing a very unwilling and unfavourable audience.—(Hear, hear.) He agreed with every gentleman who had spoken on theother side ; lie agreed particularly with his right hon. friend the First, Lord of the Admiralty, that it would be most desirable that now should be the time when the house should bring the question to an issue. The speech of the right hon. baronet was the most ab!e that had been delivered on thatsideofthe question, and he distinctlystated that he argued the case on the principle of the general interest of the country, and at the sante time he went through the various interests, and endeavoured to show that the corn laws must be continued with reference to each and all of those interests. His right hon. friend had made what he should term rather a landlord's speech, a speech that was certainly calculated to catch as many votes as possible. With that he did not quarrel, Arai to that point he should come presently. He did hope that whilst he on his side did disclaim entirely (and he should consider himself guilty of the greatest impropriety if he did not) to say anything to affect the feelings of the dif ferent interests, or to raise a dispute between them, he did hope at the same that the question might he argued in the sante spirit by the other side, and that the house would have to hear no more of those sneers against political eco. nomists, no more declamations against philosophy ; for certain it was that by such means an argument could not he maintained, though perhaps a cheer might be procured.. Every man who came into that house prepared to talk of the question seemed to be in his own opinion the very beau ideal of a political economist.—(Hear, hear.) Other gen tlemen who disclaimed the science were often tall:tog of political economy without being aware of it, or that their economy was not of the best kind. Some gentleinen talked of political economy in a style that night justly entitle them to be elected to the profesam's chair of toe University of Lag :do, in the island of Laputa.—(A laugh.) He hoped that the house would hear no more on this topic, but that the question might be argued dispassionately.—(Heat, bear.) His right hon. friend had made four divisions, the landlords, and farmers, tba agricultural labourers on one side, and the consumers on the other.—(Cries of " No, no, no.") He had good grounds for what he had said. Nothing could be more das:rable than to understand each other in the definition of words. The landlords, in a great p„rtion of the right hon. baronet's speech, as well as in the speeches of gentlemen who followed him, were considered as mainly interested in the present question. The house had been told at the end of the right hon. baronet's speech that political considerations entered into this question. He stated that it was necessary to maintain landlords in the mutate in which they were, anti that the present relation between them and their tenents was indispensiti.e to the security and well being of this country. He (Mr. T.) behsved that the landlords would be much better oil' under a very different system. He needed not to argue on that point, for he had only to call to his aid the hon. member for Surrey, who bad spoken in a manner which had justly elicited applause. That hon. ne:mber had, told the house, in speaking of the landlords' condition, that forty years ago he was receiving twenty shillings us acre, that the charges were so and so, t: at the charges were new the same except six shillings more; and that ho was still receiving the twenty shillings asAli this eniv d ffetenee, that whereas his rents used to be ps , d very , :•e, and doss now they were b idly paid.

CLAIR'S RECOLLECTIONS of THE WEsT INDIES. —The gallant author of this work has furnished an excessively amusing narrative out of his Transatlantic experience. He conveys what he has to say with the gaiety and off-hand spirit peculiar to a soldier, and whether his theme be war, or love, or field sports, or colonial manners, or garrison frolics, he is alike buoyant and entertaining. So full and frank a sketch of military life in the West Indies has never been given, and the reader is delighted to have it now from the pen of an officer of the Colonel's rank. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Macs 7. The SPEAKER took the chair about a quarter after five o'clock. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN brought in a bill for enclosing certain commons and waste lands in the county of Tip perary. Mr. D. W. HARVEY gave notice that on the 10th of April be would move for a Call of the House upon the consideration of the pension list. Mr. PRYME put it to the hon. member whether the day be proposed was not very inconvenient, as being in the middle of the sessions week. Mr. HARVEY said he would put it off to any day that would suit the house, but he could not do so unless some of those gentlemen who were in possession of the mo tion book for the next two months should give way to him. The hon. member then gave notice, that on the house going into Committee on theßegistration of Deeds Bill, he would move the insertion of such clauses as would be necessary fur the establishment of a general registration of births, marriages, and deaths. _ _ . Mr. CARTWRIGHT moved for a return of the ac counts of the receipts and payments of a charity in Stoney- Stratford.—Ordered. Mr. DUNLOP presented a petition from the borough of Kilmarnock, praying for the establishment of a gradual scale of the duties upon the corn laws. The peti tion was adopted at a public meeting, presided over by the chief magistrate, and was signed by 1,100 of the inha bitants. Mr. WILBRAHAM moved for a copy of the corres pondence with Sir Wilmot Horton, governor of Ceylon, respecting the monopoly of salt enjoyed by the East India Company. Mr. HALCOMB moved for a return of certain papers connected with the Warwick election committee.—Ordered. Mr. W. BROUGHAM moved for a retur❑ of the amount of the cash standing in the name of the accoun tant-general of the Court of Chancery, respecting bank rupts' estates, up to the Ist of June, 1834; and also for a return of the SUMS of money carried over to the accounts of the dividends of bankrupts' estates. The hon. member then said that he trusted the motion of the hon. meraberfor Colchester, respecting a general registration, would be disposed of by the motion of verich he (Mr. B.) was about to give notice, namely that on the 22d April lie would move for leave to bring in a bill to establish a ge neral registration of births, marriages, and deaths. Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS presented a petition from the coroners of the county of Warwick, praying for an increase in their fees. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the mayor and burgesses of the royal borough of Forfar, in Scotland, praying for a repeal of the corn laws. CORN LAWS-ADJOURNED DEBATE. The SPEAKER having called on Mr. Ewart, and the order of the day for the adjourned debate on the corn laws having been read, Mr. EWART said that he was perfectly convinced that if there was any mode by which the present distress could be alleviated, it was by listen ing to the claims of justice, and acceding to the just demands of the people. They had heard it repeated frequently during the debate of the previous night, both by the right hon. baronet opposite, in his eloquent speech, and by others, that agriculture was the foundation of all the prosperity of the country. He did not expect to find the exploded doctrine of the economists revived, that the prosperity of the country must be judged of by the amount of its agricultural produce, for that could avail little if they did not extend the trade to other countries. If the power of exchanging commodities was of such benefit to other countries, it must be of great advan tage to the people of England to have the same means afforded them of exchanging their produce. It had been often stated that the vent for manufactures was the home market. The home consumer was undoubtedly superior to the foreign one, but when it was known that two-thirds of the population were engaged in trade and manufactures, must it not follow, that the home consumer would be the trader and manufacturer?—(Hear, hear.) Every day that brings an advance in civilization the more home consumption would there be. The more the manu facturing interest extends, the greater would be :the con sumption in the foreign markets. It appeared from the evidence of a committee during last session that two-thirds of the cotton of the country were exported. The greatest of all evils was the foreign consumption. He would pre dict that all articles, whether wool, silk, or cotton, would increase in proportion with foreign consumption. The right honourable baronet stated that, according to the report of tlse agricultural committee of the last session, every interest of the country was in a flourishing state except the agricultural interest. It ap peared by that evidence that there was one evil greater than any other, from which the agricultural interest was suffering, and that was the uncertainty caused by the corn laws. It was the greatest question that could come under the decision of that house ; it should be decided. He had no hesitation in saying that an adjustment of the duties should be adopted. The right hon. baronet said the hon. member for Middlesex had omitted to state one evil to the agricul tural interest, and that was, the land tax. He (Mr. Ewart) was astonished to hear that. There was no pecu liar bargain on the land ; nothing pressed heavily on it, and consequently there was no claim for protection to the landed proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) It had been stated it would be impossible to maintain so great an unevenness in the price of corn, if a graduated scale of duty was imposed, as had existed for the last two or three years.—(Hear, bear.) He was certain, however, that if any gentleman would take the trouble to refer to the prices during that short period, he would find that there had been fluctuations, and al though they had not been so great as at some former periods, yet they were equally destructive of, or, rather, injurious to, the interests of the landowner, as would be a graduated scale of duty ; and l:e desired to ask the right hon. baronet, or any member of the house, whether, from the evidence taken before the agricultural commit tee, that statement was not supported by fact? flow much better was it to knit nations together by com merce, than to attempt to supply the deficiency that might be caused to consumers by coercive nisasures How much more natural was it that mankind should be prevented from going to war by commercial interthairse than by any other sort of measures? He considered there was no bond so strong for the security of peace as the e.al stunt intercourse of nations. He begged hon. members to look to our connexions with America. What was the strong bond of peace between this country and those great coin usercial friend'? It might be urged, that it would be better /7 / I_,Le ,ccessor to H enr y C o lburn.) burgh; for Scotland, M essrs . B e ll an d Bradfute, Edin gQ) for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin.
