He was, however, aware that in passing such a law there were reasons to believe that though such a system might be generally acceptable, still, at the same time, it could not be carried into effect without repealing many laws existing in the West Indies. What he had therefore intended was, that the measure he proposed should not take effect, ex cepting in those islands where their respective Le gislatures had already repealed such laws as would prevent the fair operat►on of the measure. He begged pardon for having detained the House so long. Lord GODERICH said, that though the tion he had recently held did not necessarily make him acquainted with all those particulars to which his Noble Friend had referred, lie certainly knew enough of the situation of the West Indian colonies, to be fully aware of the importance of the different points alluded to. He was fully impressed with the difficulties, but was afraid that it would be impossi ble for him to submit to the House during the pre sent Session of Parliament any measure on the sub ject; for he was sure that a precipitate and uncon sidered measure would be more prejudicial to the in terests of the colonies than leaving the present sys tem untouched, and would defeat the object which his Noble Friend, whose attention had been directed to the subject, had in view. At present he should only say that the suggestions of his Noble Friend would be the best light to guide hint in the consi deration of the question.—(Hear.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at half-past four o'clock. . Lord FEVER SH AM presented a petition from an agricultural association in the county of York, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. His Lordship presented two other petitions to the same effect— one from a place in the East Riding, and the other from a place in the West Riding of the same county. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a peti tion from Bridgewater, in Somersetshire, against Roman Catholic Emancipation. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a peti tion from the Corporation of Shoemakers in Dublin, praying that the House would not_make any altera tion in the manner of choosing the High Sheriff. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from the county of Bedford, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN THE WEST INDIES. Lord BATHURST addressed the House at con siderable length, but his Lordship spoke in so low •a tone of voice, that we could only collect but little of what he said. He called their Lordships' attention to the state of the Administration of Justice in the West India Islands, and recom mended to their Lordships' attention the Report on that subject, prepared by the Commissioners appointed by his Majesty. There were five Courts of Common Pleas, . each of which had a Chief Justice, who was assisted by other Judges who Were not professional men. The impoverished state of the West Indies could not afford to pay in an adequate manner Judges of much professional knowledge, and he considered this to be one of the great cause s o f th e def e cts in administering the law there. They would not get professional men to go out from this country to rerriain for ten or twelve years in the West Indies without an adequate remuneration for themselves and their'family. In addition to which, it was desirable that those who administered justice should not be suspected of hav ing their execution of justice warped by local pre judices and local partialities, which necessarily grew out of a local connexion in the West Indies. The state of society was such—he might say in all the West Indian islands, but certainly in most of them —that it was utterly impossible for any one to reside for a length of time in any one of those islands with out having formed such connexion. Owing to the impoverished state of the West Indies, he was afraid that the Secretary of State would be undertaking a useless task in endeavouring to make the different Legislatures agree to labour together, in order to have a Court of Justice common to all. There was only another mode of effecting a reform in the Courts of Justice, and that was, by an act of the Legislature of this country. The Parliament of this country had the power of legislating, with respect to the West Indies, upon every subject but that of taxa tion; but it was a power which ought to be very sparingly used. What he had in contemplation was to establish a certain Court, and appoint a Judge, whose duty should be to go twice a-year to the Court, in the discharge of his duty of administering justice. By ouch an otablisbrnent, and with a sue- THE 11INISTRY. The Earl of WINCHELSKA, understanding Parlia ment was likely to be prorogued in:a few weeks' time, con sidered that he should not be acting with courtesy to their Lordships, and in particular to the Noble Marquis oppo site, who expressed a wish to be informed, whether it still was his intention to bring forward the important motion of which he had given notice ; he considered that he should not be acting with fairness, if he allowed the House to ad journ that day without giving an explicit answer on the subject. When he gave notice of that motion, he did so with the strong conviction, that his Majesty's Govern ment formed, as it was, by the coalition of two oppo site parties, did not present that uniformity of feeling which entitled it to the confidence of the country.—When he considered that the settlement of questions of the great est importance had been avowedly stated by those who were considered the leaders of their party, as tending to the ultimate tranquillity of the country ; and when he re marked that those Members of the late Government who formed part of the present Government, had been strongly opposed to those questions, he had, acting from a convic tion that there was not that unanimity in the Government necessary to entitle it to support, given notice of that mo tion, which, he distinctly stated, he now withdrew.— When he considered that the notices of motions to he brought ender the consideration of the House, and which would fairly have brought to the test the principles of the individuals who supported them—when he considered that those notices of motions had been withdrawn and aban doned, lie must, therefore, conclude that the unanimity of opinion in the Government must have arisen from some concession of principles of the Noble Lords opposite to clear their characters, and they might avail themselves of an op portunity, before the expiration of the present session of Parliament, to state inwhat situation they stood, and upon what consideration they had been induced to come forward to support the Government. The Marquis of LANSDOWN.said that the Noble Earl had very candidly, in consistence with the courtesy expected from him by the House, and by himself, finally stated his intention of abandoning' that. notice of a motion which he had undoubtedly given for the purpose of eliciting such a statement as would be incumbent on him (Lord Lansdown) to give, in answer to the charges which the Noble Earl in tended to make. But it was not for hint to inquire into the motives which had induced the Noble Earl at any time to conceive the intention of giving notice of a motion ulna any subject or upon any question which subsequent consi deration might have induced him to withdraw. He was, however, certain that he was justified in entertaining the opinion—as there was nothing irregular in the course which the Noble Earl intended to pursue, but which was on the contrary, the regular, the received, and constitutional course, in which every Noble Lord, who thought he had reason to complain of the constitution of the King's Go vernment had a right to submit his views upon the con stitution of that Government to this House and the coun try—that the Noble Earl had at last seen good reasons to abstain from proposing to the House to adopt the opinion which he at one time had been induced to form, whatever reasons lie might have,,or indeed must have had, for adopt ing such an opinion, the Noble Earl had for reasons, and he had no doubt most sufficient reasons, determined upon altering that course, and it would be therefore highly un becoming in him (Lord Lansdown) to avail himself of the few observations which the Noble Earl had thought fit to make in withdrawing his notice of the motion, to enter upon that subject which the Noble Earl did not consider as furnishing a ground for any Parliamentary proceedings. He therefore assumed, as he had a right to assume, that the Noble Earl now saw nothing tangible in that respect— that after having given notice of a motion for the consi deration of the House, yet, upon reflection with himself, and after communication with others, he considered that he had not sufficient grounds fur submitting that motion to the •House. But in stating his intention to abstain from making any motion, the Noble Earl had briefly in timated that he conceived that that unanimity which he stated to be desirable in his Majesty's Government had been obtained by some concession which he had not thought fit to particularize. The Noble, Earl had alluded to notices of motions which had been withdrawn. He did not know to what motions the Noble Earl alluded, for lie knew of no notices having been given and withdrawn, excepting those which had been given from the other• side of the House, and which had been as successively withdrawn, as fast as they were made. He wished, however, to take this opportunity, in the face of that House and in the face of the country, to declare, that no one opinion which lie had ever entertained upon any subject had been withdrawn or compromised, as affording a ground for that connec tion, Which, upon the grounds of public principle and honour, and upon the grounds of public principle and honour only, he had thought it to be his public duty to form ; and when he should hereafter hear any allusion made to this subject, he should beg the favour of any Noble Lord who made such allusion, having access to those records:of the proceedings of that House which were known to exist, and having the benefit of that diligent attention which the Noble Lords opposite had given to those pro ceedings.-.-he should beg the favour, lie repeated, of the Noble Lord availing himself of those sources which lie had mentioned, to point out that particular opinion, which at any' hne he had given, which the Noble Lord might think inconsistent with the . course he was now pursuing. He had thOught it his duty to give hie support toe Government with which be had no connexion,--a course, perhaps, un intelligible to some Noble Lords—publiely and loudly, upon principles which he thought important to the welfare of the country. He had gone still farther, and *hen he had seen Noble Lords acquiescing in silence in those measures of policy to which they now made objections, connected with the commerce and navigation of the country, he thought it his duty to come forward to state his warm con currence in those measures, warning Noble Lords, at the same time, of their extent and importance ; and having so warned them, and having so stated his own concurrence and approbation, lie had had the good fortune to see those measures unanimously carried. He little thought that that unanimity, revealed in those measures which were adopted with the approbation of this House and the country, would ' be made the basis of a charge, not only against the King's Government, but also against those individuals who, in consistence with the principles they had acted upon, conti ' nued to manifest on the one side of the House that support which they had loudly proclaimed from the other.— (Hear.)—As that unanimity had been useful to the House before, so that unanimity was the foundation of the con , nexion which, on public grounds, he thought right to form. He should say no more upon the present occasion, but to state that he was obliged to the Noble Earl for the informa tion he had given to the House, and he should certuinly consider all further notice of this subject as unnecessary, ' unless some Noble Lord should take it up. The Earl of CARLISLE hoped he might be permitted to say a few words. In obeying the command of his Ma • jesty in accepting the office which he held, be was not PRICE 7D. con.cioue of baring forfeited any pledge, or abandoned any principle. The Marquis of SALISBURY, in presenting a petition from a place in Staffordshire, against the proposed altera tion in the torn laws, took occasion to defend himself from the charge of inconsistency brought against him, in com mon with other Noble Lords. Whoa the questions re specting free trade wire first brought before the considera tion of Parliament, he Mai but inexperiensed in public affairs, and he did nob know whether he should now have courage to state his opinion respecting those measures, if he did not see that it was strengthened by experience of the benefits which that system produced. He was entitled to argue, from the present, that-that system was the cause of the distress, unless the Noble Lord opposite could prove it to be otherwise. He was ready to submit a motion on the state of the Government at the earliest opportunity, pro vided he had sufficient information to enable him to do so. Lord REDESDALE defended himself from the charge of inconsistency, and concluded by baying, that since the year 1820, he considered that Lord Liverpool had been departing from the principles which had formerly iquided -his Majesty's Government; and therefore, from that year, he had disagreed with him. GAME DILL. The Marquis of SALISBURY, in giving notice brat he should on Wednesday next move the second reading of the Bill for Legalizing the Sale of Game, moved that the House should be summoned for that day. CORN LAWS. Lord FEVERSHAM presented a petition from an Agri cultural Society in Yorkshire, against the proposed altera tion in the Corn Laws. The petition was received as coming from the individual who signed it. The Noble Lord presented petitions to the same effect from a place in the East Riding of Yorkshire; and from Pomfret. The Earl of POWIS presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in the parish of Sarum, to the same effect. Lord KENYON presented a petition from the graziers of East Grinstead and Romney Marsh, praying for protee tion'agaimkt the importation of Foreign Wool. The Earl of DARNLEY observed, that although the importation of wool had been immense, the manufacturers had not been benefitted by it, while it had inflicted a seri ous injury on the agricultural interests. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from the Millers and Mealmen of Cahir, praying for protection hn the proposed alteration of the Corn Laws. The Noble Lord said that he should take an early opportunity of asking, some questions with regard to the disposal of some of the items included in the returns of secret service money. Lord CARBERY presented a petition front Cork, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. . _ The Earl of MALMESBURY said, that it would be in the recollection of their Lordships, that be bad yesterday given notice of his intention to ask this day some questions respecting the importation of Foreign Wool ; but at the present late hour, thinking it would be better that the House should proceed with the order of the day, he would defer asking those questions to another opportunity, and at the same time postpone the presentation of two important petitions which he had on the subject from the owners and occupiers of a district of poor land in the neighbourhood of Salisbury: but he would avail himself of this opportunity of exempting himself, like the Noble and Learned Lord, from the remarks of the Noble Marquis, by stating that for the last two years he had been opposed to Lord Liverpool's Government, on the principle of the proposed Bill. The Earl of WESTMORLAND said he wee willing to take his share of the responsibility in recommending the Bill now before the House to their Lordships ; and in allu sion to what had occurred in a former debate on this mea sure, declared that he agreed with the Noble Lord oppo site (Lord Goderich)in all that he had urged in its favour; at the lame time that he disagreed with the arguments which hid been used for the same purpose by the Noble Marquis (Lansdown). The Noble Earl was proceeding to state his opinion on the proposed measure, when Lord GODERICH reminded the Noble Earl that there was no question before the House. Lord WESTMORLAND said lie would cure that defect by moving that the Bill be recommitted. The Noble Lord then proceeded to argue in support of the principle of the 13i11, which he said it was necessary to settle for the benefit of all parties: He considered the law, as it at present stood, injurious to those who were dependent on labour fur their support, to the cultivators of land, and to the commercial and financial interests of the country. He wag opposed to extremes. A writer who was a great enemy of the Cora Laws had said, let wheat be ss. per bushel, and the com munity at large would be benefitted ; but if we once had wheat at that price, lie considered that the country would be ruined. The Noble Lord then entered into a detail of the manner by which the agricultural interest might be in jured by the importation of foreign corn by a sacrifice of capital to the extent of 10 or 20 per cent. by the import ers; and concluded by stating that, approving of the prin ciple, he should give his voice in favour of the Bill, though lie thought a price should be fixed when the importation of foreign corn should commence ; and when in the Com mittee, he should propose that that price should be 50s.— The Noble Lord then moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee. . The House then resolved itself into a Committee, the Earl of SUAFTZSBULLY in the Chair. Lord STAN HOPE moved that the words " meal" and " flour" be omitted from every part of the Bill. Lord GODERICII observed,- that it was not usual to object to the preamble of the Bill, until the clauses should have been read. Lord REDESDALR objeeted to the wording of the Bill: he thought the repealing clauses should only repeal such parts of former Acts as were not already repealed. Lord GODERICH explained that the Act of 1816 re pealed all the antecedent Acts. If, therefore, that Act was repealed, it would revive all the antecedent Acts. Thestirst dance having now been read, Lord GODERICH said, with reference to the amend ment proposed by the Noble Lord (Stanhope), that the law as it now stood between Great Britain and Ireland, prohibiting the importation of flour, was an act of the Irish Parliament. That prohibition had not been altered by the acts of 1804, 1806, 1815, or 1822, and the amendment, if adopted, would not be beneficial to any class. By documents which had been produced before the other House, it had been shown, that the importation had never amounted to any degree of importance, except when the harvests all over Europe were bad.. In 1801, a quantity of flour had been imported from the United States, but the advantages derived from it, were inadequate to the risk. If that were the result when the temptation to introduce it was so mucl► greater, there could be now no danger from the measure. The amendinent would only have the effect of throwing into the hands of a few opulent millers in the neighbourhood of town a monopoly of the Wupply of flour. Lord ELLENBOROUGH supported the amendment el his Noble . Friend," m an Englishnian looking to the inte rests of Ireland. He knelt , that there was a large capital sunk in that country in the corn and flour trade, and he would give Ireland a monopoly up to a certain extent, in order to protect the capital invested in that trade. Earl STANHOPE was at a loss te know on what prin ciple they could refuse the benefit to the people of that king dom, which they derived from the existing laws. Their Lordships were well aware that if flour was iu a good state it would bear the longest voyages. The Earl of HARROWBY did not agree with the Noble Baron (Ellenberough) in thinking, that for the sake of the millers of Ireland, their Lordships ought to ex clude all foreign meal and flour from this country. He contended that the principle of the corn laws had always applied equally te flour as to wheat. But even were it otherwise, he would put it to their Lordships whether they would, particularly under present circumstances, im pose a prohibition on the importation of that article which constituted the most considerable of the exports of the United States of America, and thus :deprive thorn of the principal means by which they were enabled to purchase our manufactures. The Marquis of SALISBURY supported the amend ment. It had always been the object of the legislature to encourage the Irish miller. The Earl of MALMESBURY could not agree in all the principles advanced by his Noble Friend; but be had no objection to giving Ireland the advantage of a prohibi tion. With respect to the doctrine of the Noble Earl op posite (Harrowby) that Aour and wheat ought to be pot upon the same footing, it was certainly one in which he (Lord Malmesbury) could not concur; because flour was a manufactured article, and was therefore entitled to more protection than wheat, which was the raw material. As to depriving Ireland of an advantage for the sake of the United States, that certainly was manifesting a degree of sympathy for them "FLA they had never etinead towards us. On the eentriry, thole liferlrlitticloktlntrf the Dia meter of whose eomiaevel4l4* *ran Iteore' *Aim, to the manufacturing interests. Lord REDESDALR inlAteel:attniteidininit, and argued against the general 'lWlNsip);4l;the'Biti, The tystsui on which it proceeded 'wee, thee - Vie^ fitemeter:were not to receive a greater price for iabiar earn • thin fins., which sum was held to be a remunerating price. Now in very bad seasons, that sum, so far from being a remu nerating pries, would bee ruinous prise to the farmer, and therefore the principle on which the measure was grounded failed. With respect :to ground corn, theirLordshipeshould remember that whenever the country imported an article in a manufactured, instead of a raw state, she threw away an advantage which she ought to have retained to herself: The general effect of the Bill would be to produce a con stant and regular importation of foreign corn, and the British farmer would be ruined. For whenever a bad season came, which would yield him but halfa erop,being obliged, nevertheless, to sell this half crop at the same price as if it produced him a whole, it was clear he must be a loser that season; and then, not being allowed to remunerate himself for this less, in the next season he would also be a loser on that. The Noble Lerch went ou to contend, that by diminishing the price of corn, the farmer was obliged to diminish the quantity of stock ; and by diminishing his quantity of stock, he would be rendered unable to manure as much land as-before. Thus the operation of the Bill would be to defeat its own object; for by throwing land cat of cultivation, it would of necessity render corn morn dear. With respect to Ireland, their Lordships, he thought, were bound to afford every eneouragetnent to the cultiva tion of laud in that country ; for if the land there were properly cultivated, it would produce more than double the quantity of corn suffieient for the consumption of this country. His Lordship, after adducing many of the argu ments which he had urged on a former night, cone/tided by exhorting the House not to permit the importation of meal and flour, as it was contrary to every principle of sound government to admit manufactured produce into the country. Lord CARBERY said a few words, which, w e r e no t distinctly heard. Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that th e r e was no small contradiction between the statements of the Noble Viscount (Goderish) and the Noble earl (Harrowby) op posite, as to the amount of flour imported from the United States. The Noble Viscount said the quantity was very trifling; while the Welds Marl gave the House to under stand that It was very great. Howeer, be it great or small, be (Lord litllesiberoagis) was not disposed to sacrifice the manufacture of Ireland to Shaker America,--a country, which was certainly net she asset friendly is her disposition ; towards us. A great many Irish Lords seemed disposed to vote for this Bill undo( • mistaken impression. They thought that they'derived an.advaltage ender this Bill in having a concession made tathent with respect to oats. Now he (Lord Illlenborough) first entreated of these Noble Lords who were connected with Ireland, not to separate the in terests of that country from those of England ; for whenever they did so, they would find that, ultimately, it would turn out to their prejudice. But did this Bill, upon the whole, afford *am an advantage over the Bill of 18t% It was true, that under the present Bill, when oats conti nued for three months at from 28s. to 29a. there would he an advantage of 9d. over the Bill of 18%2 ; but, except when that contingency occurred, there would be a 10111.- 131. a he entreated the people of that country to look more to the export of wheat. He knew that jest now, oats con stituted a more important object with them than wheat ; but let them look at the history of their agriculture, and they would find that wheat was a new invention in Ireland. It was not very long sines there was not a loaf of wheaten, bread to be had in the opulent town of Belfast ; and those who first attempted to sow any wheat there, were looked upon as making a most extravagant experiment ; yet now they produced wheat of the finest quality. He therefore entreated the Noble Lords connected with that country to afford every encouragement in their power to the cultiva tion of wheat. After a few words frout the Earl of Wscatow, which were wholly inaudible, the question that the words— "meal and Bout" should continue pelt of the Bill was agreed to without a division. Earl BATHURST objected to the words "should at all times." He contended that the preamble was in direct: contradiction to the emu/ding clause; these worde ware in contradiction to the principle of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.)— He stated " that it was expedient that corn, &c., ghoul/ at all times be allowed to be imported into the fruited King dom for consumption," upon payment of certain duties.— Now these duties were prohibitory duties; was it common. sense then to say, that at all times these articles should be imported at prohibitory duties? Was it common sense to say, that, whereas it was expedient to allow snore corn stud flour to be admitted into this country, be it therefore enacted that it be admitted at 101. more than the price it bore here ? But he denied that the principle of this Bill was prohibitory. The duties were partly prohibi tory, partly reetriet,ive, and partly nominal. When the price of corn was under 60s. they were prohi bitory ; when it was at 655., they were restrictive ; and. when it reached 70e., they were only nominal. Now, when. 'he fret read those words, they appeared to hint to be of great importance, but they appeared still more so, since he had heard the Noble Marquis who supported this Bill de clare that this country should be dependent on foreign na tions. He (Lord Bathurst) denieel that such was intended. to be the principle of this Bill. And with respect to the principles of free trade generally, he denied that the late. measures of Government were founded on principlea cet: free trade, any more than this Bill was founded on the rinciple of a free trade in coin. It proceeded on prin ciples of prohibition, regulated by restrictive duties ; an/ as well might it be said that the press was free if it were placed under the controul of a licenser, to that this trade was free while it was eontrouled by restrictive duties. They might as,well talk of a free press under a censorship, as of free trade in grain under graduated duties. He concluded by moving for the omission of the words " not at all times." The Earl of HARROWBY said, that the eltitt nierit of the Bill lay in faing the prohibitory duty at such a point as would satisfy both parties throughout the country,. The Earl of MALNIESBURY disliked the Bill, becaesu it was a clumsy plan of prohibition. He pointed out thc , hazards with which the native growers were threatened by speculations in foreign grain, and asked why the Govern ment should not, instead of the Bill, protest the agricul turists by a plain prohibitiLm. He would move the sub stitution of fists, instead of 60a., which was proposed as the remunerating price, at the proper opportunity. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that it was inipeti gaols for him to have stated, as Lad been alleged by a Noble Earl, that it was desirable for this country to be aepeudent upon others for a great or any considerable portion of her grain. What he bad said was, that it was in the nature of things that a rich country should be so dependent 011 others, and that this tendency could not be checked, with ous injuring the wealth of the richer country, and conse quently, in our case, without injuring the capital which was to remunerate the agricultural interests. But it was . . utterly impossible for him to agree with those who thougiit that the country ought to be wholly independent of foreign countries for any portion of the food of the populatiouS. He thought that it was highly desirable to get rid of the word prohibition from our commercial code, and thotigh there were many restraining duties which acted as prohibi tions, and which in the present artificial state of the affairs of the country could not immediitely be done away, yet. it was something to gefrid of the term prohibition. The Marl of LAUDERDALE said that the °Meet of the Bill won't, lower the, „prices of grain, and as high prices argued an increased state Of enjoyment and a better remu neration to all the opetati.ye 'classes, low yricte were shy thing but desirable. Viscount GODERICH weld; that Al were justified by the experience of a century in concluding that this country must from time to time Ink dependent upon others for a supply in times of scarcity. He admitted that in some sense they must have prohibition, because, for reasons of state, the native grower could teener be allowed to have the fall benefit of high prices, and therefore he must be protected from the effects of very low prices ; the supply of the food of the population having to depend upon the agricultural classes. He had never contended for an entirely free trade, even in other com munities, without paying any duties ; bet he thought it de sirable to modify the duties according to the reduction of expences in mAnnfeetures, especially as many of thorns duties had operated as prohibitions, though never intended, to be such by the legislature. The House had only to re flect that many of those duties were mere exi4encies, to which the Goveininent had been driven by the expensive operations of the war. Lord ELLENBOBOUGH advised thP:o Ministers would hold several Cabinet Council', and apse upon some under. standing of certain terms of politiel economy commonly in use among them, such as those of prohibition and free trade. He thought that the view held out by the Noble Marquis (Lansdown) and those who acted with him, was the most dangerous and mischievous that could be entertained by any government. They argued only as to what was proper to be done in a rich oountry to increase tie national wealth. But were there eo other considerations besides wealth in the practice of government ? country was an agricultural as well as a commercial country. Great and superior wealth did not imply national strength. Let their Lordships look at the growth of mercantile wealth in this country. lied the happiness and morals of the people been increased Had they not rather increaled in Rimy and 'rime beyond
