The Royal Assent was yesterday given by commission to the following Bills : Personal Estates Bid—Cotton Duties Bill—Tile Duties Bill—Exchequer Court (Scotland) Bill—Taunton Im provement Bill—Wangford Poor Bill—Mutford and Lothingland Poor Bill—Walton• upon-Trent Bridge Bill —Gravesend and Milton Paving Bill—London and Greenwich Railway Bill—Llanelly Railway and Docks Bill—Ockley and Warnharn Road Bill—Tunstall and Great Chen Road Bill—Gloucester, Over, and /liaise more Road Bill—West Aueklani Road Bill—lllanchest-r and Salter's Brook Road Bill—Ledbury Road Bill—Mac clesfield Road Bill—Royston Roads Bill—Ross, Aber eavenny, and flay Roads Bill—Wortley (York)Enclosure Bill. The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and the Earl of RIPON. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved for returns of wine imported into this countly, and the ditty paid upon it, for the last five years, ending sth April, 1833. Lord AUCKLAND had no objection to the motion, and he was sure that when the returns were laid upon the table, they would put an end to the false reports which had gone about as to the evils product d by the present duty. The Earl of WICKLOW, in moving for returns_ re lative to tithes in Ireland, said, by the Bill for the Com position of Tithes in Ireland, a power was given to the Lord-Lieutenant to appoint Commissioners to value the tithes in parishes where, after a certain time, the inhabi tants had not done so. It was well known that that Bill was merely intended to clear the way for other measures. The Ministry had promised three Bills on the subject, and only one had yet been pressed through the Legislature. —(Hear, hear.) He was surprised, that, when they had arrived at that late period of the session, no intimation of the other measures had yet been given. The Noble Lord moved a return of the number of pa rishes in Ireland where compoSition of tithes had been effected by commissioners appointed by the Lord- Lieutenant. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there could be no objection to the return, but it ought to be borne in mind that the political state of Ireland, since the Bill passed, had not been favourable to the operation of the measure. After a few words from Lord CARBERY, the returns were ordered. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition against the Local Courts Jurisdiction Bill. The Marquis of STAFFORD presented petitions from Newcastle under Line and other places, against slavery. Lord SUFFIELD presented 300 petitions to the same effect, including those from Portsmouth, Winchester, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Chester-le-street, Diss, North and South Shields, and Worthing. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to know whether these petitions were in favour of, or apposed to, the plan of his Majesty's Ministers brought forward in the House of Commons. Lord SUFFIELD said that parts of the plan were totally opposed to the prayer of all the petitions he had presented, and to the wishes of the people of England. He was of opinion, however, that the plan might be altered so as to meet their wishes. It was quite inconsistent with the prayer of the petitions that the slave should be made to pay for his own manumission. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from York, Montrose, and other places, for the gradual aboli tion of slavery, and that due consideration should be given to the rights of property. He agreed with the peti tioners, and thought that his opinion was more consistent with the acts and resolutions of Parliament than that of the Noble Baron opposite (Suffield). Many people, not only the slave owners, but those who had lent their money upon West India slavery, would be ruined, if this question was prematurely decided, and the immediate emancipation of the slaves carried into effect. Lord SUFFIELD said that he wa ready to recognise the rights of property, but not the right of property in human beings. 11Ien wot ked for the wages which would be given them, and it was absurd to suppose that if the slaves were emancipated they would not work. He could nut tell how the Noble Duke conceived that the question was brought on prematurely, when " some " change was ad mitted to be necessary by all, by even the West Indian proprietors themselves. He was cernin that immediate emancipation would tend to the welfare and prosperity of the colonies, The Duke of WELLINGTON said that, having met with an accident some yerrs since, he had the misfortune of not being able to hear with both his eafs, as he pre , umed the Noble Lord could. This sass the reason why he had not attended the West India Committee or the Tithe Committee ; but, from all he had learned on the sulf . ject, he would venture to say that the question had not had due consideration with a view to the proper security of property. He had himself, he would take upon him to say, done as much as any man alive, while in office, for the abolition of slavery, and had been eng ged in many ne gotiations upon it—(Hear, hear)—but he still retained the opinion that the rights of property ought to be at• tended to. Lord SUFFIELI) presented a petition from the Me thodist chapel of Lincoln, praying for the abolition of negro sl,very. Lord WYNFORD had been informed that persecution had taken place in the colonies, but he had no direct means of knowing the fact. Of this he was, however, aware, that the slave owners bad from the outset courted inquiry, and offered to prove, even at the beginning of the session, that the immediate abolition of slavery, according to our interpretation of the word immediate— Lord SUFFIELD said " No," across the table. Lord WYNFORD proceeded. The Noble Lord said " No"—he (Lord Wy nford) said " Yes." It appeared to him that they were becoming better Christians than the Apostles, because one of these advocated the right of man in man. While he said this, it was not to be supposed that he was an advocate of slavery ; but knowing that such property had existed from time immemorial, he thought it right to have the nature of that property considered. Lord SUFFIELD knew the Archbishop of Canterbury well enough to know that he was incapable of stating that which he did not strictly believe to be true ; but still he would assert that the assertions of the Rev. Prelate were in themselves false when he stated the number of converts made amongst the negroes by the clergy of the Established Church. The fact way, that the converts were made by the Dissenting clergy, and by them alone. The Church of England was certainly popular in our Weht India colonies, because they did less than the Dis senters. If this were otherwise, how would the Noble Lot (1 attempt to account for the rtcent destruction of the Methodist chapels in Jamaica? Lord WYNFORD explained. The Marquis of BUTE could not sit quietly by and hear such an attack made upon the Established Church of this country. He thought it a most uncalled for attack or, the part of the Noble Lord ; an attack, indeed, which never would have been made if the Noble Earl had heard the report of the religious society on education and the ii nprovement of the condition of the negroes, which was altogether supported by members of t!, Chinch of Eng 'tand.—(Loui cries of " Hear, hear.") The Earl of HADDINGTON said his Noble Friend opposite had not only attacked the Established Church, but assumed the fact that its members wer e v a l ue d b eca use they did nothing. Lord SUFFlFididenied that ne had cast s.uy general imputation ~eon the Church, but he w ou ld . refer to the easeßev. Mr. thydges, Chaplain to the Governor, w h r tad been convicted of having improperly flogged his .kmale slaves. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from the Wesleyan Methodists of North Shields, praying fur the abolition of slavery. Lord SEGRAVE presented a petition from Dursley, Gloucestershire, against the Beer Bill. Lord DARNLEY presented a petition from a place in Kent against slavery. The Earl of ANICKLOW, in presenting several peti tions, regretted the absence of his Majesty's Ministers on a discussion of a question so important as that of petitions connect-d with negro slavery. He thought it would have been at least coot-ikon s that Ministers should be present when the Noble Duke delivered his opinions on this ques tion. The Noble Lord then presented several petitions, amounting in all to twenty, from different districts, pray ing for the abolition of slavery. The Noble Lord also pre sented a petition praying for a better observance of the Lord's Day. Lord RADNOR brought up the report of the Stafford Bribery Bill. Oo the question that the report be received, The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that, under all the circumstances, the House of Commons had acted fairly; and, though he was originally opposed to the NW he felt that it had bee❑ so altered in Committee, that be could no longer oppose it. The main improvement to which he alluded, was that which deprived the Members, who aced en that occasion, of the indemnity which wa% extended to other parties. The report was agreed to, and, On the motion of Lord RADNOR, the Bill was or. dered to be read a third time to-morrow (this day). Adjourned at ten minutes past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 17. There being a Commission to day, the SPEAKER took the chair at ten minutes before five o'clock, shortly after which the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the at tendance of the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given to several Public and Private Bills, for which see Lords' report. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the members of the Alliance Marine Assurance Company, against the Fulham Road Bill. CITY OF LIMERICK ELECTION. Sir T. F RENIANTLE brought up the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition of Mr..T. Verriker against the return of D. and W. Roche. The Committee rt.pot ted that the two latter gentlemen bail been duly elected ; that the petition of Mr. Verriker was not frivolous or vocati , ms, nor the opposition to it. COLERAINE ELECTION. Mr. HARDY brought up the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of this election. The Com mittee reported that Sir John Poer Beresford was not duly elected ; that Mr. Alderman Copeland was du'y elected ; and !hit neither the petition nor opposition was frivolous or vexatious. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Bread•street Ward, praying for a reduction in the expenditure of the country, and for a repeal of the house and window taxes. Also petitions against slavery, and for an alteration in the laws affecting forgery. The Hon. Member also pre sented a petition from the inhabitants of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, complaining of the heavy amount of poor rates, and of the great proportion of extra-parochial property in that parish. He trusted that his Majesty's Ministers, in any amendments they might propose in the poor laws, would have this particular grievance well considered and looked to.---(Hear.) On the motion that the petitions do lie upon the table, Mr. OLIPHANT begged leave to inquire of his Hon. F. iend the Member for Ayr, when it was his intention to bring forward the Scotch Entail Bill. It was a matter of much importance, and it was desirable that those Members who were interested in the measure should have a full opportunity of discussing it. Mr. KENNEDY said it was his earnest desire to bring the measure forward in such a way as to affird a good dis suasion. There was, Hon. Members must be aware, much difficulty in pressing forward any measure in the present session, and it might be a question with some whether it might not be better to postpone the Bill until another ses sion ; but he was so deeply impressed with the necessity of avoiding all delay, that he had determined to bring the matter forward on Friday the 24th inst., when he hoped there would be a full and satisfactory discussion. After a few words from Sir JOHN HOPE and two other Members, the petitions were laid on the table. COLONEL EVANS AND SIR J. HOBHOUSE. Colonel EVANS rose and said, I am anxious to put a question to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Ellice), Secretary at War, and I can assure him that I do so with all respect for the office he holds, and not from any want of good feeling. The question is, in fact, one of great public importance, and not merely of personal interest. During a recent contest a statement appeared in the public prints assign. ing the power to the person holding the office of Secretary at War, to remove any officer of his Majesty's service at his pleasure, from his Majesty's half-pay list. That was the general bearing of the statement. But since then an other statement has been put forth, to a certain extent correcting that interpretation. Undoubtedly, Sir, the persons who report the public proceedings in this great city are well known to do so with great ac curacy and precision. But, at the same time, during the time of elections of great magnitude and im portance, when the Press takes a decided part, they are not generally very scrupulous—at least some portion of the Press is not very scrupulous in the mode they adopt, in order to carry their object into operation. Therefore, Sir, I am bound to assume that it was in consequence of some war of feeling or partizanship that this statement was first made to appear. But in the correction after wards given, the assumed power of the Secretary at War so remove an officer on the army half-pay list, with out reference to any cause, was most distinctly disclaimed. I ♦enture to think that this House will agree with me, that this is a most important matter, and that the question in regard to it should be correctly ascertained, both with regard to the situations of those holding com mis-ions under his Majesty, and to the freedom of election and the privileges of this House. I have therefore risen, not with any factious motive whatever ; indeed, I con sider it important that Government should have an op portunity of explaining their view of this question, be cause every officer h , Wing commissions ander the Crown— The SPEAKER here said the Hon. and Gallant Member must put the question. Colonel EVANS then said, I wish to know whether the Secretary at War has the power to remove at his pleasure any officer on his ftLijesty's half-pay list ? Mr. ELLICE said he had nohesttation in answering the question put to him by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel. If unfortunately it apnearea necessary toGovernment to remove any such officer, it would be the duty of the Secretary at War to take his Majesty's pleasure on the subject, and he (the Secretary at War) would be responsible for the advice he had given. He had searched the records of the War-office, and if it was any satisfaction to the Hon. and Gallant Colonel to know it, he would state that there was no case of an officer in existence bring removed from the half-pay list of the army, who had not been removed for some offence relative to his moral character. Col. EVANS—Then I undelsrand, judging by the practice, that the power I have referred to, is not vested in the Secretary at War. _ _ _ Mr. ELLICE was anxious not to be misunderstood. If a case unfortunately arose that, in the opinion of the House, called for the removal of an officer, Ministers would advise his Majesty to that effect, and it was within the province of the Secretary at War, to tender his advice to his Majesty on the subject, but for that ad vice he would he responsible. Colonel EVANS repeated his wish to know distinctly, whether the power rested in the Secretary at War or not? Lord ALTHORY said the Crown had oridoubtedly the prerogative of strikihg off any half-pay officer, and it a case should occur when in the opinion of Government that ought to take place, it was the duty of the Secretary at War to address his Majesty for the exercise of that un doubted prerogative. But he was at the same time responsible for his advice. NORWICH ELECTION. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presented a petition from the electors of Norwich, praying for an inquiry into the cases si b.ibery which h a d occurred there at the last election. Lord STORMONT said that this was a contemptible petition, which had been scouted by all the respectable inhabitants of Norwich. The parties had already had their case tried before the proper tribunal. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said that the Noble Lord might h ave spare d hi s d escr i pt i on o f t h e part i es w ho b a d provoked in rovohkis bandsedthi sp t e v t e i r t; e o a n s , r fi e i s r p c h t e a gentlemenbie asany in the county of Norfolk. He did not wish to disturb the Noble Lord in his seat now, hut to have the bribery which had been com mitted without the Nobl Lord's knowledge punished. (PRICE 7D.) Mr. YOUNG, seeing the Vice-President of the Boats of Trade in his place, wished to ask what were his inten tions with respect to the ten Bills on the orders of th day relative to the customs, warehousing of goods, &c., materially affecting the shipping interest, as the gentlemen in that interest were exceedingly anxious on the subject. Mr. P. THOMSON thought if the Bills were post. potted for a fortnight, or three weeks, great convenience might result. As to the merchants, shipowners, and those connected with the shipping interest, feeling great anxiety on the subject, he could only say that it was perfectly well understood that the pre sent Bills were only brought forward for the pur pose of consolidating the different statutes on the subject. When the Bills got into Committee, he should probably make some alterations in them ; but every opportunity should be given to Hon. Members of knowing what those alterations were to be. Mr. YOUNG could pr&ve to the Right Hon. Mem• ber, that if the Bills now brought forward were to pass, property would be allowed to be imported, that was not under the proper statute. Mr O'CONNELL moved the postponement of the issuing of the writ for the borough of Carickfergus, till the 6th June, on which day be should move for leave to bring i❑ a Bill to di , franchise that borough. On the motion of Mr. BERNAL, the issuing of the writ for the borough of Her,tford was postponed to Fri day se'nnight. IRISH SECRE I'ARYS HIP. Mr. H. GRATTAN asked whether it was intended to fill up the Irish Secretaryship. He had heard it re ported lately that it was not intended to do so, hut to transfer the management of Irish aff,irs to a department o f the Home -office. L.,rd ALTHORP said that no such thing was in. tended, and the House could not enter into the discus sion further. SUPPLY OF WATER TO LONDON. Mr. HUME asked whether the water survey for the metropolis hail been made. Lord ALTHORPsaid it had, as far as he thought it ne cessary, and as far as the money granted by Parliament would go. Sir F. BURDETT hoped that his Majesty's Govern tneur would n ot o bj ect to another 1,0001. or 2,0001. being granted, to make so important a survey complete. CORN LAWS. Mr. W. WHITMORE then rose for the purpose of bringing forward his motion relative to the corn laws. He would state as concisely as possible the object of the motion of which tie had given notice in the early part of the session, for a consideration of the present system of corn law& He was exceedingly anxious to bring the subject under the consideration of the House, because he was fully convinced that all Honourable Members who had seriously considered the subject, would find it highly deserving consideration. It would be in the recollection of the House that in former years he had brought the subject under its consideration, and if be had abstained from pressing his views on the subject latterly, it arose from two reasons ; one, that he was anxious to give an oppor tunity of seeing how the law of 1828 would work ; and the second, because he felt that he had but little chance of claiming the attention of a House of Common, constituted as it then was. A change, however, bad now taken place in the representation ; interests that before might be considered as net being fairly represented, had now a share in the representation of the people. One of the interests which had been admitted, and of which he was the humble representative, was the great marital - sic turers of the kingdom.—(Hear.) He could assure the House that if the question that be was now about to bring forward, affected solely the interest of th, manufacturers of the kingdom, and did not deeply affec' every class in the community ; however anxious be might be that the House should adopt his views on the subject. he would not be the individual to bring it forward. He would confine his observations to as email a compass as possible; but he hoped that the House wools feel that he was not justified in calling the atten tion of the House to the subject, unless he stated the grounds of his opinion for the necessity of sonic alteration in the corn laws. He would, however, consult the convenience of Hon. Members as much as be consistently could, and would endeavour to class his subjects under four heads. He would first, then, consider the application of the present law as fat as it might be expected to attain the abject for which it was intended. He mainly objected to the principle of the law enacted in 1828, because there was a certain price stated by it, below which nn foreign corn would be admitted. To a certain extent this law bad been founded upon the enactment of 1815, when the importation price was 90s. per quarter. In the year, 1816, by a lamentable visitation of Providence, the failure of the crops was se great, that the markets were opened for the recep tion of foreign corn, even at that high limitation. nor were the crops of 1817, 1818, and 1819, suffi cient for the purposes of the country, although the prices were not sufficiently high to admit the full operation of the law. The Hon. Member here read details of the prices of corn for several successive years—of the state o the harvest in different seasons—of the comparative pro duce and pi ice of different years, to show the " oscillatiot in the price of wheat, ' but they were read in so thick a tone of voice, and in so confused a manner, that we shoul,t perhaps only do injustice to the Hon. Member were we to attempt to give them. He wished particularly to impress upon the House the fact that in the last week of August, and first week of September, 1830, wheat was seventy-two shillings per quarter, and the duty con sequently two shillings per quarter, and, although it was the middle of the harvest, not less than 1 200,000 quarters of wheat and flour were imported. The object was, b) importing at a low duty, to keep it in bond until it coul be admitted into home consumption. Had the harves that year not been deficient, the large importations woul have pressed upon the markets, and the price might have been reduced as low as in 1822. If country gentlemen, thought that the existing law produced equality of price. they were never more mistaken ; the supply would always be regulated by the demand, and that alone would be suf ficient to preserve as much equality as it was possible in such a commodity to obtain. It, then, the present law were ineff ctual for its purpose, why, he asked, should it be continued ? The fact was that it encouraged gambling and speculation in corn to an enormous extent, to the injury of the home grower and to the destruction of regular wholesome trade. Sometimes much more than was wanted was thrown upon the market, and anything but a regular supply was the consequence of the Bill as it stood. The Honourable Member made some further remarks upon this part of the subject, but he spoke in so low a tone and in so indistinct a manner, that it was impossible to follow the train of his reasoning. He then adverted to the number of Enclosure Bills that had passed the House before the Corn Act was adopted, in order to show that the amount of duty previously esta blished had not had any effect in decreasing that number. From 1771 to 1791, 869 Enclosure Bills had passed— making an average of 43 per annum. From 1791 to 1804 the number of Bills was 900, or 69 per annum; and yet the duty in the former period was 2s. 6d. per quarter, and in the latter period (as we understood) 4s. per quarter. The Hon. Member also adverted, in some detail, to the comparative prices of wheat at different pe riods ; but all we could distinctly catch was, that from 1790 to 1799, the average price had ascended from 45.+.4d. per quarter to 51s. per quarter.—(Several Mem bers opposite here requested the lion. Gentleman to speak out, as they did not hear half he said.) lie called tin attention of the House to the extraordinary fact that in 1810, during the war, not less than 1,500,000 quarter of wheat were imported from France and the Netherlands, showing that, under any circumstances, even the moe unfavourable, a supply might he obtained, since the rancotous hostility then carried on against Great Bri tain could not prevent the importation. In the year 1815 commenced the wretched system of le4isla tion, by which the corn trade was now regulated, and which produced far greater evils than had ever been anticipated by its most determined opponents. All his feelings, all his convictions, were in favour of a free trade in corn ; be was satisfied that that system was by far the best; but, looking at the various interests that had grown up under the Act of 1815—looking at the condition of some of the southern and western counties of England— considering their over population and the maladministra tion of the poor laws—(Hear) —reflecting, too, on the temper and disposition of the people, he was not prepare(' to carry his principle fully into effect. He was aware or the extensive injury that must unavoidably b. produced by a sudden change, and for that reason he wished it to be gradual. On the subject of importation, it was highly gratifying to remark that the quantity obtained from Ireland had of late years increased to an un precedented ex tent. From 1815 to 1819, the average annual importa tion from thence wets 150,000 quarters, while in the las year, ending sth October, 1832, not less than 800,000 quarters had been admitted from Ireland.—(Coeers., Wnile contemplating the fitness of an alteration of th existing law, he felt bound to take into account tip burdens exclusively pressing upon agricultu re . H e di not think that upon any occasion enough het been said on behalf of the landed proprietors of the heavy tax statute I,bour on the roads. He was aware that all changes were in themselves evils ; and if a system wee, tie be altered it ought to he altered as little as po- i ale The proposition of Mr. R cards, in 1822, was, that th , f dlowing scale of fixed duties should be applied to thi different kinds of grain:— Upon Wheat los. Ott. ltye Barley 5 0 Oats 3 4 4 if that plan or anythiae ike it were adopted, he (Mr. Whitmore) win convinced that it would remedy most of the evils belonging to the present system ; and he thought, moreover, that the farmer would realize, if not quite, nearly the prices he had obtained during the last five sears. The duty should not be lelt to Orders in Council, nor should Government be allowed to deal solely with the question. He differed with those who were for fixed prices, and objected to a varying and shifting scale of duty. In his resolutions, be did not state that he would be willing to consent to a fixed duty on extraordinary oc casions, though he would on ordinary ones. It was his opinion, that if the ports were thrown open, and a free trade in corn established, it would not lower the prices mote than to about 455. or 471. the quarter. On extra ordinary occasions only would he have recourse to the system of averages. His object in proposing a fixed duty in ordinary times, was to keep off those periods of cala mity and scarcity which periodically afflicted other coun tries. When such calamitous periods arrived as that of 1816, there should be, to meet them, a supply of home grown corn. The next point he would allude to was, that by his plan great good would be done to the manufacturing interests, and, therefore, it was with that belief that he proposed that alteration in the present corn laws. The more corn was imported, the more the ex ports of the produce of this country would increase. Within the last four years the imports of corn had in creased, and our exports had increased in the same ratio. He would take the value of our exports to Russia and Germany. To the former country, in 1821 and 1822, the annual average value of our exports was 6,000,0001. ; in 1828, 1829, and 1830, the annual average value was 3,000,000/. To Germany, in 1821 and 1324, the annual average was 1,226,000/. ; and in 1529 and 1830, it was 2,132,0001., thus showing an increase of about 2,000,0001. in a very short period. He cited these calcu lations in order to prove that the necessary consequence of increasing our imports of corn would be to increase our ex ports. Those imports would vastly tend .to remove the difficulties of manufacturers, to increase the wealth of the country, and, consequently, to augment its population. They would also benefit the agricultural interest; for the consequence of an increase of trade, wealth, and popula tion, of course, would be a proportionable augmentation of the consumption of agricultural produce. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving two resolutions to the followi ng e ff ec t That the present system of laws, founded on a never-varying scale of duty, could not fail to cramp the trade of the country, and impair its pros perity. That an alteration should be made in those laws, by laying on a moderate duty, fixed at all periods hut in Limes of dearth ; that such an alteration would benefit the general prosperity of the country, relieve the agricul. turist, improve and increase manufactures ; would pecu liarly restore the relations of the kingdom with fereiget countries, and render more equal the prices of the produce of the country." (From the low tone in which the Hen. Member spoke, it was utterly impossible to catch the com plete substance of his observations.) The resolutions having beeu seconded, Mr. HUME had one principal question to ask of the House; whether they would warrant that a monopoly ...mild be granted to one particular interest, to the preju dice of any other interest ? He wanted to know whether they wished to place the manufacturing, commer cial, and shipping interests on the same footing with the agricultural interest? If they did, the same iurdens should be placed on land that were placed en all other property. Every species of property was heavily burdened except landed property.—(Here an Honourable Member remarked, that land paid several ,axes, the highway rate and the poor rates.) So did every other species of property, and other taxes from ,vhich land was exempt.—(lt was again remarked that funded property was not burdened with taxes.) It would tie very strange if it was. It was a debt, and those who contracted it, could not justly tax it, for that would be , sorrowing with one hand and paying with the other. He would now proceed to prove the injustice of the laws that existed at the present moment. He would do so by stating tile amount of corn imported since the July of the year the pi esent law passed. In every year of tie five that had elapsed since, this country imported neeily a million of iluarters of corn, fir the whole quantity imported was very nearly five millions of quarters. Now that proved :hat this country was an iniportirtg country, and that it 'lid not grow sufficient corn far the consumption. Whether a portion of 1-20 or 1-30 was requited to t ie imported to complete the whole quantity required for the consumption of the country, he wi uld not stop to inquire. But certain he was, that what ever portion was required, it was excluded on a ;navy duty, and thus a monopoly was granted to the agri culturists, which monopoly, whilst it I.oliefited them, wai Highly injurious to all the other branches of trade. Foe hat reason he considered the present laws unjust. If there were burdens on land, let them be taken off, and let burden of taxation fall equally upon all species of pro perty. He had made inquit ies as to the burdens on land, but he had never yet ascertained what proportion of the burdens of taxation was borne by a quarter of wheat. He wished to discover that specific burden, and then he would, when he discovered it, say that there could be a .trotecting dory on corn in proportion to its burdens. Until then he was for a free trade in corn, unities emrr. 4rncies might rise when the Government would be forced to raise a revenue on corn. They had always seen that vhatever the price of corn was, the landholders contended to have it maintained at that rate. When the price was 305., they contended that they could not live if it were e-e, and now that it was 60,. they were afraid of any reduction of the duty for fear of reduction in price ; but to (Mr. Hume) was of opinion that a duty of a few shil lings would give ample security. As long as the present variable rates of duties were maintained, it was impossible that so regular a supply, or regular prices could be mair., rained in the markets, as if the markets were left open and as a proof of that, they had seen the price of corn vas -ying front 70s. to 50,. within the short period of three months. It was impossible that any prudence, foresight, or experience could avail against such variation. Yet this was the result of the present system, which, as soon as the prices rose admitted such an influx of corn as brought the markets immediately down even below the former p: . rots.. What was most wished for was, a steady price, and steady supply of corn, and he opposed the present varying scale, in the ground that it did not afford this deaideraturn. It was on these grounds that he (Mr. Home) proposed in 1827, that a fixed duty should be laid on all corn imported, He at that time proposed that a fixed duty of 15s. should tie laid on all wheat, which should be reduced to 10s. when it could have been ascertained whether that amount would be sufficient to meet the burdens of the country, He had afterwards proposed, instead of the varying scale of duties adopted in 1828, that a free trade in corn should be allowed, on payment of a fixed duty of 10s. per quartet , on wheat. And what had been the result of the experi. inent then tried of having a varying scale of duties ? It had been this—that instead of realizing a duty of 10s. on every quarter imported, as be had proposed, there had been no more than 61. Sd. realised by the syetern adopted —(Hear, hear)—while at the same time it had been fund that the markets ware subject to such gluts and iecasional scarcity that they could not be depended 411.1. The duty which be at that time proposed on barley was Ss., yet the average amount realised by '1 1 , 3 varying system had only been 4s. Sd., and the duty which he had proposed on oats was 65., while the amount realized had been ss. Ild. From this it would be seen, that in, stead of ab iut 2 300,000/., the total amount of dtedes realized under the varying scale, the amount which would have been received under the fixed rare of duty proposed by him (supposing the same quantity of earn to have liven imported) would have been 3,260,0001., so that not only ',ad the public lost the advantage cf a steady market bi the rejection of his plati, but a million sterling had been lost to the Treasury. Nor was that all ; the country had iost also the advantage of the improvement in commerce, end the increase of the manufactures, which would have taken place, and the landlords themselves had had to pay large additional amount in poor rates, which could not have been required if the country were nourishing. He este firmly of opinion tthat the detriment to the country by the measure of 1828, bad entailed an additional burden •tn the public of five per cent., without a proportionate advantage to the agriculturist. He thought it a very ma erial question to inquire whether or not an additional number of agricultural labourers could be employed in agriculture by the exclusion of foreign corn. He con ',ivied that there could not ; and the question then coma (a) be, how employment could be given to the unemployed I ilmurers? His position was, that they could always find tnployment in the manufactures; for it was evident that tiere could be no limit to employment in manufactures iut want of demand, and what, he asked, was the e iuse of vant of demand ? Nothing but the r, filed of this rountry to take the raw m aerial, of other countries in xchange for our manufactured goodoThe price of the raw twenties imported, was to the manufactured goo_r_i' us inly ten or fifteen per cent, of the whole cost.
