going at length into the question in its precut state. Although hes refrained from expressing .any opiniotemi the subject, he must say, that as he had always regarded with great jealousy the Corn Laws, he should, whenever the inteadissi measure should -be brought into the-House, watch it. with the utmost vigilance. This, it appeared, was to be a Bit to repeal foer existing laws on this subject, without meddling with the last Act, which had occasioned so much discussion as to the mode of axing the averages. He felt at this moment, as he had then felt, that though the averages :night be taken more exactly, still they were safficienely sis for all practical purposes al ready. When this Bill was brought forward, he should feel it his duty to call the attention of the House to those acts which it proposed to repeal, and to state his belief - Of how this interference wal likely to operate on a matter which he thought the less it were interfered with the better. Mr. Bartz - so, although he felt the same reluc tance to invite any thing like a premature dis cussion on this subject, as the two speakers who preceded him, could not help expressing his re gret that such a period as the present should have been chosen for the'introduction of a Bill of this sort. This was a time when the public feeling was likely to be excited to excess upon such a sulbject He trusted, however, that as the Bight ifonont'able Gentleman declared that this tnea sari, wzt not to have the effect of screwing up the price of corn, this feeling would not be in creased beyond the present state. When that Right Hon. Gentleman stated that this was ot the intention and would not be the effect of his Bill, he had that confidence in his•good sense to feel that there was no real. ground for alarm, lie only regretted that the present time had been cheseri for agitating the ques tion, when the Agriculture of the Country .was laboUringunaer such great distress. He feared it eOuld have the effect of exciting expects tions to the Agriculturists that something would he done for their relief ; at the same time that it would seem to countenance expectations out the part of the consuming classes that something would be done conduciie to their be nefit: That the Bill had no other object than was stated was all well, although he confessed, from the detail which the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Robinson) had given, he could not help feeling apprehensions that alterations of a more material nature than he thought would take place in consequence of it. With respect to the ave rages, opinion, were pretty well settled now that the importation of foreign corn would not he pro ductive of that injury that had been generally supposed. Mr. Ittwtx agreed with the lion. Gentleman who had-just sat down, in regretting the period at which this measure was introduced. lie hoped that the labours of the Committee would be at tended with that benefit which was anticipated from them, although he could not help thinking that the public, and especially that part of it which had loaded the table of that House with petitions for relief, would find that their hopes were frustrated and deluded by it. .It was cer tain that the mode olstriking the averages which had been practised since the last enactment on the subject, was most inaccurate, and perhaps, not in one case could be considered to have an swered the spirit of the law, nor to have given the public a true view of the case. When the Committee came to investigate this great and im pertaut subject, he hoped it would be released from the fetters which impeded a free progress on the last similar occasion. • Mr. Ho 1. M E SuMNca did not attaeh any weight to the consideration of time. The 'tight Hot). Gentleman who introduced the subject had told them- that his Bill would be for the purpose of altering the mode of taking the averages, in order that they might be taken more properly. Ile (Mr. Sumner) believed it would make but little difference as to the high or low price of Corn ; but he wished to know if it would have for its object to protect those who were subject to gross fraud by the present mode of striking the average Despairing as he did of any permanent general benefit being bestowed on the nation at large, from the measure in contemplation, he hoped it would• at least have this effect. If, however, it was ,intended by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that this should be the only remedy which his Ma jesty's Government would propose for the dis tresses- of the 'Agriculturists, he thought it would be but candid in him to 'declare, that 'such was the. fact, in order that the country might not con tinue to cherish the delusive hope that something more effectual 'would be done for them. Mr. F. considered, • that so long as a remedy. for the evils under •which the country was suffering was provided, there was no ground for supposing that,• to-morrow wuuld he better than. to day for that purpose, or that the day after would be better than to-morrow. With reference to what had fallen from the blight lion. Gentleman . (Mr. Robinson), on the subject of Irish Corn .being included in the average, he was of opinion,,that the introduction of Irish Corn in to the returns of the English markets, would be. to lower the averages in general.. .For, although for the few last years it had been better:than English Corn, the season having been unusually wet in England, yet in general the Irish Corn was•not so good as the ..English, and brought lower prices. Mr.CURWEN said, that great fraud had cer tainly been committed in the country. In the Isle of Man, the inhabitants bad been in the habit of using foreign grain instead of. British.— It bad been asserted that there was now but a very trifling remnant in this country of - corn im ported from foreign parts in the years 1818 and 1819. Instead of there being very little, he be lieved there was an amazing quantity, he thought pot less than 50,000 quarters, which was still held in readiness to beat down the market price of English corn. He considered the average price of 1818 to be the price which would be sufficiently productive to the grower. The con sequence of sinking the price of corn thus was, that the grower was obliged to bring into the market a larger proportion than ordinary for the purpose of supplying his labourers and others in hi 4 employment. Formerly there had been per sons who Were accustomed to speculate in corn, and make large purchases in that article when it became dull in the market, hoping it would rise ; they of c.ourt,e served to keep up the price. But this class of speculators was now no more, aid no persons made purchases t.xcept the public ; nor was there a single bushel of English corn bought in except for immtd4ate consumption. If the proptsed. measure was to be taken as an ulterior measure, it was by no means adequate to its professed object. The House was. pledged to au investigation of this sub ject -on an extensive • scale, and he hoped nothing would induce the House to defer it beyond the present week, or .his Majesty's.Glo vernment to meet it by a proposal to waste the Session away by referring it to a Committee, but that they would, as Ministers, come forward manfully and state specifically how far they were disposed to go in order to afford some relief to the agriculturists.—(llear !) Mr:Wm. DouGLAs regretted extremely that the: measure now before the House was so little likely to prove effectual in relieving the agricul tural distress. The country would never be sa tisfied on this subject, unless a full and fair dis cussion of it should take place in all its branches and bearings. Sir E. KN.tTcunuLL said, he had supported the motion of his Hon. Friend, under the idea that the investigation proposed would have pro duced general satisfaction. How far this inves tigation would lead to satisfactory results he would not say. lie agreed that it would be un- , wise to raise the importation price of corn still higher than it now stood by law ; yet he thought Government might de‘ise some other equally satisfactory mode of protecting the English far mers. There was yet another paramount consi deration which ought to weigh much with the House, and that was the excessive distress expe rienced by the agricultural classes, who now looked up to that House as their last resource, and who, he hoped, would not look up in vain. Mr. Ric tr.no observed, that the introduction of Irish Corn into the averages would have the effect of raising the price of Corn, according to the mode now practiced as to striking the aver ages. It bad been observed that the opening of the ports would be the means of instantaneously depressing the markets, which would remain in the same state for years. This might be true ; but under any system of Corn Laws that ever were, or ever could be adopted, it must always be the same. The only way to prevent this Would be to make their price the same as that of the Continent. Ile believed also, that raising a high duty on Corn, would also tend to the end desired. It did not appear to him, that the measure proposed could have the desired effect in relieving the distress of Agriculture. lie was sure the best thing that could be done for the Farmers would be to take off the Corn Laws al together. Jr.'A LOCKHART contended, that every day's exrerience proved the fallacy of the hope that was formerly held out to Parliament, that should they relax the duties on foreign commodities imported, foreign countries would naturally ad mit their goods and manufactures at propor tionately lower rates of duty into their ports. Instead of possessing now a more nourishing trade, as we had been promised, in consequence of our compliance with that fallacious maxim, foreigners lost sight of the boon conferred, and the goods remained on our hands. He was sur prised at the proposition of his very able and in telligent friend, that we should fix tl►e impor tation price so low as 353., which was the gene ral continental price. What, did l►e suppose that such a price would ever repay the agricul turist here, AS ho had to pay his share of the enormous expenditure and taxation of the coun try, more especially at the present high rents? This was to demand, like the Sybil, tl►e•same price for the material constantly diminishing. The result would be, if such a proposition was acted on, that the agriculturists,. like bankers, must stop payment, and stop dealing toi. Should such a shock come on in different places simulta neously, the property of the country would be shaken to its foundation, and the failure of the fund for the poor-rates, that canker of the land, would produce consequences little short of re bellion. These Poor Laws were, it was said, a subject of great delicacy. They were no longer so; they came upon the country with violence and open jaws, threatening to devour all before them. The wealth and power and sacred cha racter, of the Clergy would lie found• insufficient for their protection. The subject therefore ought to be approached, and he thought it might safely be approached in the way of restriction. Mr. IttcArtoo explained, that if the ports were left open and a less, price fixed for regulating the importation of Foreign Corn, the people, instead of being able to pay less taxes, would 'be able to pay even still greater. Mr. BENNETT disapproved of the Resolution, as inadequate ; nor did he think that including [risk Corn in the averages would raise them one farthing, although he thought it might be a source of fraud. Mr. CUIIIVEN said, that corn in Poland was as low as Ic2s. a quarter, which, added to the freight of 4s. made it as low as 16s. altogether. The resolution lfas agreed to, and the report ordered to be received to-morrow. SCOTCH BURGHS. Lord ARCIIIIIXLD HAMILTON moved for a re turn of Royal Burghs in Scotland that lost the power of electing their Council since 1685, stat ing the time- when that power was restored, and upon what conditions.—Ordered. SUPPLY. The CH.I VCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the. House resolving itself into a Committee of. Supply for the , purpose of postpo ning it. Mr. IT ustC took this opportunity of saying that the consideration of the Army Estimates should be postponed till they should have been at least ten days in the hands of Members. No Member could in so short a time as between Friday and Monday become prepared to discuss the merits of those estimates.' ,11e propdsed that the Navy Estimates should be considered, on Monday first, and the Army Estimates on this day. fortnight. The CUANCELLWi of the EXCIIEQUE.IC said ;hat there would he an obviou, iriconvonlence in postponing the Army E.timates beyond the day fixed for them. Some particulars he should be content to reserve, but the principal branch nniSt besubrnitted on Friday. . • Mr. H. G. BENNET said they would not vote the Army Estimates till they were at least a week in the hands of the Members. -The minority in that House possessed means of resistance which would be put in foree.—(Cheers.)—The subject would not be so readily got through as the Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to suppose. A discus sion might be continued' for days on the subject. He, for one,, would not vote the number of men by many thousands—(Cheers)----and Members on his side would resist such a vote to the last ex tremity. At a time when complaints of insup portable distress came from all classes of the people, retrenchment must be carried to the ut most extent. 64 We will," continued the Hon: Member, with great energy—" we will cut down the expenditure on this head to the utmost : we cannot afford the present establishment, and we won't afford it."—(Hear, hear !) The CHANCELLOIt of the EXCHEQUER said, that to pacify the lion. Member's temper, time mould be allowed for considering the subject. The navy estimates would be taken on Friday, and the ordnance on Monday. Mr. RicAnno said he took this opportunity to ask the Right llon. Gentleman whether the paper laid on the table contained all time trans actions between the Treastiry and the Bank re specting Exchequer-bills, and an account of all the bills purchased in the market by the Bank, between the sth January, 1820, and the sth January, 1821. The 61ANCELLOR of the ExclicgtTEtt said it in cluded every thins upon that subject ; and if any bills had been purchased by the Bank, the ac count would Ie found there. Mr. lI.G REY llcNNETasked, as was understood, whether the money for ‘s hich Mr. Theodore Ilooke had been detained had been paid ; and if not, what steps %i , ere taken to recover payment ? The C►HANCEr.r.ou of the EXCHEQUER said he could not give a full explanation. The Gentle man mentioned was not blamed. Ile did not know whether the money was paid or not. TRANSPORTATION-OF OFFENDERS' BILL. The second reading of this Bill was moved. Mr. 11. G. BENNET said, that as this Bill was for a very limited period, the business must soon come again before the House. llis opinion would soon be adopted, that there was a necessity for the Executive taking the whole subject of trans portation into serious consideration. It — had ceased to operate as a punishment. At Assizes it was well known to be sought as a boon: His bureau was filled with letters, entreatin g his in fluence to obtain as a boon wh a t was enforced as a punishment. During the last 4 years 11,000 persons had been transported. Such a stock of new corruption was yearly sent to the Colony, that no system of improvement was allowed to produce any regular amelioration. The Hon. Gentleman observed upon th e di s p ro p or ti on o f males to females in the, Colony : they were 50, 60, 100, and in some districts 140 to one, which led to a horrible and disgusting state of depra vity and licentioniness. He protested in the strongest terms against 'the forced exportation of so many males to a situation already so over stocked. Mr. IL CLIVE had hoped that the Hon. Gen tleman would have abstained from his remarks until the real state of New South Wales was better known, not only by the inquiries Govern ment had instituted, but by the arrival of the late Governor, who was daily expected. It was quite clear that the number of criminals in this country had decreased of late years ; but still our gaols were not, and could not be, large enough to hold them : the prisons would contain only 16,000 at the utmost ; and, supposing only 13,000 convicted annually, it was obvious that the places of confinement were insufficient. Some must be sent out of the country ; and the system of the Colony of New South Wales Iva's good, but still capable of improvement. Mr. BrssET explained, arguing that it was absolutely necessary that the system of secondary punishments shduld be re-considered. After a few words from Mr. GOULBURN, the Bill was read a second time. HULL POOR RATES Mr. Syxus moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Hull Poor Rates Bill, for the purpose of postponing it. It was read ac cordingly, and Mr. Sykes moved that the Bill he read a second time on this day six months.— Ordered. The House went into a Committee on the No va Scotia Trade Bill.—Report to-morrow. The Annual Indemnity Bill was read a third time and passed. COUNSEL IN CASES OF FELONY. Mr. R. MARTIN said, that the motion he had to make was a proposition so self-evident, that he had equal difficulty in finding arguments in its fa vour and against it; it was so reasonable that merely to mention it was sufficient to procure it the strongest report. It was for leave to bring in a Bill to permit persons charged with capital crimes, or with felonies, to make their defence by counsel. The reverse was, in his view, so utterly inconsistent with the benignity of our criminal code; it was so completely unjust to refuse to a prisoner the advantage enjoyed by the Crown, that he would not attempt to argue it. Mr. Jus tice Blackstone had called it one of the anomalies of the English law, for which he was unable to account, and he (Mr. Martin) presumed that the House would not have the slightest objection to remedy the defect. He accordingly moved for leave to bring in his Bill. Mr. LocKu.►ar did not intend to resist the measure in its first stage, but lie reminded the House that there were many solid objections to it, and he dwelt particularly on the inconvenience and delays that might result in the administra tfon of justice from a change of the existing sys tem. At present the Court was counsel for a prisoner, and he was not aware that within the last century any disadvantage had resulted from the exclusion of prisoners accused of capital ctimes and felonies from the use of Counsel. Mr. ;MARTIN replied ; mairitaiuing that , the Court not, la as Counsel for prisoners, but remained pertel \ etly neuter. He referred to the case of Bellingtam, where the Court had refused to allow delay for ,the arrival of witnesses_ to prove insanity in support of his argument. Mr. NOLAN contended that the case of Belling ham was directly against the Hon; Gentleman : counsel had there, as in all similar instances, been allowed to make and support the applica tion for delay. He hoped the HOuse world make no alteration in the most humane system of jurisprudence ekistin,g inany country of the world. The subject of the lion. Gentleman's motion had engaged the attention of the • bar, he could him self say from the time he came to it. It was un questionably a subject that might give rise to a great diversity of opinion. But the result of the best opinions which he had been able to collect from those most familiarly acquainted with the criminal jurisprudence of this country, and with the course of administering our law in that de partment, was, that the purposes of justice were best attained- under the present system. There was seldom •or never a case in which - the judge did not really act as counsel for the prisoner. After a fe%v words from Mr. R. ItTIN in re ply, and from Mr. DlCKlvsos, the gallery was cleared, and a division called for. The House, however, did not divide, and Mr. Martin obtained leave to bring in his Bill. The SOIACITO It•GEN En A L brought in a Bill for facilitating the course of business in the Court of King's Bench, which was read a first,thne, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The second reading of the Middlesex Militia Pill was postponed till Friday.—Adjourned. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH, FEB. 21. CAMPBELL V. ALLAN. This case, which excited a considerable degree of interest, and which was reported on the 16th Dec. last, was an action of damages at the instance of John Campbell, Esq. of late member of Parliament for the Sterling district of burgs, against Thomas Murray Allan, Esq. of Scots town Park, for slandering and defaming his cha racter by calling him a liar—an infamous impos tor—and a blackguard. Damages laid at 10,000/. The Jury found the issues proved, and award ed one shilling of damages. Mr. Campbell afterwards moved the Court to award the costs of suit to him. This motion was followed by a counter one, on the part of Mr. Allan, also claiming costs. Beth motions were ably argued a few days ago, and the Court, decided that each party ought to bear his own costs, and dismissed the motions on both sides. F I It E S. DREADFUL FIRE IN G urrsa-LtNE.---About five o'clock yesterday eyening, an alarming fire broke out in the extensive premises of Messrs. J. and C. Butler, wholesale chymists and druggists, in Gutter-lane (formerly the New London Tavern), Cheapside, which for a considerable time threatened total destruction to the sur rounding warehouses. The progress of the devouring element was greatly accelerated by the inflammable nature of .the stock, and the flames reached the warehouses of Mr. Gardner, a trimming manufacturer, on one side, and those or Messrs. Jackson and Co. engravers, on the other. By this time the appearance was dreadful, and fears were entertained for the Church in Foster-lane, as the flames had already communicated to Saddlers' Hall, which we un derstood suffered considerably ; but by the vigi lant exertions of the inhabitants, assisted by the Churchwardens, the flames were prevented from penetrating the sacred fabric. About six o'clock, a temendous crash was occasioned by the fall ing of the roofs of the premises of Messrs. Butler and Co. and it was rumoured that two firemen were buried in the ruins, but we were not able to ascertain whether the report was cor rect. The various fire-engines speedily arrived, and notwithstanding the alacrity of the firemen, the premises in which th conflagration commenc ed, which extend from •Gutter-lane nearly into Foster-lane, were entirely consumed and the houses of Mr. Gardner, and MesSrs Jackson and Co. in Gutter-lane, and six houses in Cheapside, whose back premises extend as far as the side of those of Messrs. Butler and Co. were greatly damaged.—(Morning Paper.) Last Sunday night an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Gibbons, carpenter, of Mary lebone-lane, which involved the whole neighbour hood in the greatest confusion. Et originated in the lower part of the house, during the ab sence of the family, and was not discovered until it arrived at an alarming height, when the flames burst from the wiadbws with con;iderable fury, and threatened d estruction to .;,!e neigh bourhood. After a lapse of several hours, the flames were got under, the whole of the premises, with the property, being a complete mass of ruins. MEL A.NC HOLY Evertr...—A family, consisting of four persons, a man arid wife, and their son and daughter, who resided in Lawson's Wynd, foot of Sheriff Brae, Leith, were observed • I hs the neighbours to be later than usual in opening their door, yesterday morning,, when it was broken up, and discovered that all, except the old woman, were lifeless, and she in am,very weak state.
