Mr. CURTEIS said, he observed in the Gazette an adver tisement, the object of which was to procure a supply of American Flour fur the military stationed in the British \Vest India Islands. lie was alrsirousto finow from the Right lion. Gentleman opposite„the President of the Board ofTrade,why a preferences buuld not be given to the produce, of British agri culturists, particularly at the present time, when soMuch dis tress was felt in that branch of industry. . Mr. ROBINSON said, the reason why American flour was preferred to British for the use of the West India Colonies was this, that American flour was found to kill. better-in the West India Islands. British flour got a fair trial, and it was found not to answer so well. It was intedded, however, to make another experiment. - CURWEN believed the reason why American flour • kept better in the West Indies was, that the grain in America . was laid on a kiln previously tip it. being ground. `QUEBEC TIMBER. Sir W. CURTIS presented the tollowntg Petition, praying that no alteration might he made in the Duties Oil Foreign Timber ! • To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Pat liamt , nt assembled. , ,The Hnn►bte retition of the L►ndholders, Merchants, f'ro prietors of Saw Mitts; and Others interested in the Trade of the Canadas, residing at Quebec, Hu>llSr.v SIiEWETII —That in the year 1791 the Trade Mid Commerce of these Provinces with the Mother Country were so inconsiderable as. to ciorhq only 84 Slops, containing' 14,790 Tons, and navigated by 894 Seamen. That at that period few Lumber Esiablishinents existed in these; Provinces; subsequently, Great Britain, alarmed at the interruption of her Timber Trade with't he Baltic, determined to establish a permanent one with her COlonies, vittt of the reach of any contingencies that might arise from her Foreign relation:.— That, for this .purpose, she laid Duties on Foreign Timber. Dealsond Staves, professedly, as writ in their nature perma nent,.as none other could induce the investment of the very large capital essential to. the formation of such Establish ments as are necessary to carry on the !.umbel Trade in all its branches. That, relying . on the pernymency of such a policy, and the implied faith of t he. Government, so - understood to be pledged, Lumber Establishments were formed, Saw Mills, on a great scale, were erected, insMouch that the Means of cutting Deal in the Canadas ,are increased from the production of Ten Thousand to One Million Two Hondred Thousand, the quantity which it-is . now supposed may be produced annually, exclusive of the foreign supply from Lake Champlain. That, as respects the quality of the Timber from these Pro vinces..l he consumption of the different kinds aif Pine in the Navy Yards, and Spruce Deals generally, afford a sufficient proof that the prejudices which at fire existed are doing fast away. That in consequence of the exertions of your peti tioners and others, in conformity to the views of his Majesty's Government, the Tonnage employed in 1819 at the Port of Quebec amounted to 650 Ships, containing 155,8 , 12 Tons, navigated by 6,965 Seamen. - That the Exports amounted to 100,874 pieces of Timber, 1,381,393 pieces .Deals,.. and 3,585,523 nieces Staees, g.c. &c. 'that your Petitioners have heard with most serious alarm, that his Majesty's Ministers have declared their intention of doing away the Duties laid on Foreign Timber and Deals, for .'the purpose of protecting the Timber Tirade of t heir „Colonies. Your Petitioners humbly trust that your Honourable House will pause, ere it consents to a Measure, the result of which will be to involve in ruin the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. That their humble holses and wishes have ever led them to be permitted to live in close connection with, and dependence on the Mother Country. That they trusted th-at their rapidly increasing population, and .consequent propor lionahle demand • for the manufactures •of Great Britain, might.haVe rendered them worthy of a continuance of her fostering care. That with the loss of our Export Trade, we may naturally. look•to our being deprived of the uheans of purchasing the manufactured articles of Great Britain. .That by the de cline of our Import Trade, a defalcation will necessarily take place in the Revenue of these Provinces, which will mate rially diminish the means ,of defraying the expense of the• Colonial Government, and promotin4 the in'ernal improve ment of tire Grontry. That shortly such a measure as that now in contemplation. take place, the numerous Emigrants, who now crowd our streets, depending chiefly on the labour provided by trade 'fee their support, would beet - rine tar intrileeable hurt hers, arid involve us and them in one corrimon'distreis'. That yqur rctitioncis therefore most humbly pray, that no Lord CASTLEREA . 6H on• the Table a Copy of the Cireuhr Dispatch to his Majesty's Missions at Foreign Courts. —Ordered to be printer', Mr..CROKER obtain( d leave Iwbrirg in a Bit! to amend the Longitude Act• • • Sir IL. WILSON presentee a Petition from the Coopers: of London and Southwark, praying the insertion of ht r Majes iy's Haute in the Liturgy, her restoration to all her right s.and pt ivilegcs, an istgary into the Milan Commission,and the dis missal of his Majesty's Ministers. .The Petition was signed by 1,300 persotis.,—Orttered to be printed. Mr. LANIBTON presented a similar Petition from the -in habitants of Barnard Castle, County 'of Durham. The lits• nonrable Member observed, that the- Petition had affixed to it the signatures of 169 out of eoo b,,tiselmlders; thOse persons who had our signed it, were, for the most part, risen who derived their support trout Governafent.—Ordercit to be printed. Lord SEFTON presented a similar Petition from Liver pool. Ills Lordship obsert ed, that the Petition wassipsed by 3,000 persons, each of Hi o u affixed.-to his name his pro-, Cession and abode. He, fo u his own linowledge, could as sure the House of the respect - ability- and character of a large, proportion of the Petitionerst They first prayed that no fur ther proceedings 'knight be instituted against INC Queen-. and that her Majesty choulil be restored to all lief rights and pri vileges as Queen Consort. Secondly, they prayed that steps might be taken tci punish the authors of the conspiracy against -tier Majesty. • Thirdly,, a diminution of Takes; and foUri 11, a Reform of Parliamens. • CREEVEY said,. I hat being requested by corns' of his friends in Liverpool to support the Petition, lie would tres pass for a few moments on the House. lie was ready to give his support to every part of the Petition, The fit st thing the Petitioners played tor was, that her nejesty's name might he restored to the Liturgy. Upon a former oecasion, before the inquiry had been genie into, Its supported upon grounds of justice and policy, the propriety of restoring her Majest)'s name. If it was important then, it was much m ‘re import ant now, when the exclusion amounted in fact to punish ment, for a crime of which she bad been aoqJitted. Every ntin was interested in opposing the species of law laid down by the Noble Lord opposite (Castlereagh), who maint:iined,, that as the Bill of Paini :,ind 'Penalties had undergone a third reading, and bad then been only withdrawn, her Majesty was in fact morally convicted, tbaCthis could not be considered au acquittal. This was a strange kind ut taw, which .it" was the interest and duty of every man in the country to opyitse. If a third reading were sutlicirut to prove guilt, why should not a second, or'even a (list reading, have, the same effect ? (Hear, hear!)—lt would he much better not In carry it to a third reading, fur then all the filth, the trouble, and expense Of the evidence wont i have been spared. This new law of 11, Noble Lord's seas the Old story of "Acquitted Felons," a phi use of which be believed Mr. Windham was tli,author. The con duct pursued towards I heOitei it was worse. 4Acqult tett feloos" supposed.o trial : but lies Majesty's ti:OZklW•ts r t-o,cr.d f t ,„ ttt t h e Liturgy without trial or inquiry; and though acquitted, they still heard, night after night, the roost gross and foul asper sions thrown upon her in that Iluitsr. This w o uld tie.o„fAii and unjust, even towaidsa female of the lowest et a s, in soviets', who had been once acqeitted. This country k new o f no such law as that of the Noble Lord (Castlereagh.) The lase here was, guilty or not guilt y—fllear)—by the finding of tt jute. Her Majesty was attacked fur refusing to accept any provision till her name was restored to the Liturgy. How was it possible that she could agri to accept it s u nder sock circumstances.? She acted in t,Ws as became a person deter ruined to support her honour and character. , He trusted that in this generous Nation there would be ,fOund spirit enough to ptuteet the unfortunate and Illustrious Lady, if she should persist in her refusal, from suffering the pain and degrada . - tion of indigeoce.---(11 - Par !)-:ll Ministers should continue in their resolution of not restoring her name, he felt- couli dent that the country, which had hitherto supported her Ma jesty, would proti , et her against the distresses of pecuniary embarrassment. —Some itowiry into the outrages at Manches ter was the second object of the .petitioners. Though it was long since that disgraceful event twits. place, it was (pit(' on the part of the townsmen of Lire, pOol to wish that it should be inquired into. That man must have a mind singularly constructed indeed, who,wheol a defenceless crowd of men, women, and children had been brokeit-in upon, trampled down, nail butchered by the Military, when those Magistrates by whose direction it was done had received the grateful thanks of he Crown, opon their own ex park !date-, meat of the teletS j huts Mind trust be SinZlihrly constructed Wll . O thought that such an outrage could be forgotten. Even now, though late, every inquiry should he +smile into that me morable and shocking event. The third . prayer of the peti tioners was, that the taxes might be reduced. It gave hint much pleasure that the people -of Liverpool were Ilia- first to petition on this subject. He hoped soon to see similar peti titions pinned in front all parts of the country It seas quite a inoc li c ry t o li n t e l oat expectations of relief from any other source until such time as many of the existing lazes were taken off. This might- he Mole if the House perfoi toed its duty zealously, by inquiry 'into all the sources of expendi ture, and introducing economy into every branch of it. Ity taking a view of circumstances in the year 1792, when corn was at the same price as now, by comparing the amount of taxes then with that of the present day, it %%amid appear tuterly impossible that they could be borne. He hoped, there foie, that Petitions would be presented boot all parts of the country, praying for is diminution of their present borthens, many of which might be removed. The List prayer of the Petition ivas, that some It eforill might tie introduced in the present system of Repe..sentation in that House.• He felt vermin, not withstand:us: what the most ctoliburn Anti Re former ruight•think, that thy present system never received such a shock as it did by the - vote of Friday last, which he con tended svgs completely in oppouition to the sense of tie peo ple, and even to the opinion; of many who voted'against the ;notion. :Eliere was a peculiar circumstance in . the .c . ase of the Petitioners that justified them in their application GO come Reform. There were 100-000 Inhabitants in Liverpool and tinly ,25 or 260 U. voters. The representation was by no means a popular one. The right of freedom could tie ac quired only by ;ipprenticeship, so that any - person coming to reside there, however great bis wealth or tespectability might be, had no franchise. Beside s,.t he hifloence of the . Corpora thin, who load the contront and direct ion of tio,0001:or 70,0001. a year, was all powerful over the freemen.' 'they could coin- . mane!, ant of the whule•nitniber.7 nr 801, votes. It was need less to mention - how great the influence of the Crown must he in a town where there Wert see many profitable places to be disposed of. If the representation was more popular, the iii, tluence of the Crown and Corporation would nut of course be so dangerous as at present. Mr. GLAI)STONE begged leave to.mate a few observa tions in consegnence of ,what had fallen from the lion. Gen tleman' who had 9pulse last. Thefremaen of Liverpool were !Mine I'M IS than the Hon Gentleman represented.— They exceeded 5000, and nu such influence as that alluded to existed in the Corporation. Their influence was pi etty mucli the same as that of other Gentlemen in the town of wealth and respectability. The Corporation, he believed, diseharged, their ditties most conscientiously. 411 - the business tinder their direction was done by contract, which must have the effect of lessening their influence at elections, if they should b e disposer ho employ it. He was not personally agguainted with many of those whose names were signed to the petition, though he bad'resided a considerable time in the town. lie was not inclined to disPitte the character and respectability of sotne.; butthen, lie must . say, that he had opportunities of knowing the sentitrients entertained by -many. Gentlemen and Nierehants of:Liverpool of great wealth and character who did not approve of this peti..ion, but approved of the treasures of Mr. JOHN Smurn said, he held in his hand a Petition, to which he begged the attention of the !louse. It was that of the Merchants, Bankers, and Traders of- the City of •London, signed by 5,000 it:dividuals. He did not by thus =calling:their attention particularly to the Petition, mean to say that the persons of the description of these by whom it was signed, had a better claim to the notice of the HouseJlran men who lived in po verty and obscurity. Perhaps the latter ; from their distressed situation, had •a better clahn to attention. But as property insured education, and education some degree of talent and know ledge, lie had a right to say, that there never - Was presented to that House a Petition from .a more superior class of men.. Their first and principal prayer was that such measures might be adopted as were calculated to allay the present agitation of the public mind. No prayer could under ex isting circumstances, be more just and proper than this.—(Hear!)—He represented,what Was strictly true, : that they entertained the' strongest senti, ments.olloyalty, and the.most anxious, desire to preserve unimpaired the Institutions of, the Conn try. He would beg leave - to state the circum- • stanCes under which the Petition was got up. Previously to the Meeting at which this Petition was agreed to, a number of highly respecta ble individuals thought fit to send forth a Decla ration. of Loyalty to the Crown. They met at a tavern, .without having given any previous notice, except what was communicated to their own friends. From the manner in which this Decla ration was got up, it would seem as if it was the intention to impose the sentiments of those who signed it as the, sentiments of others' who did trot. But with this he did not mean to charge the highly respectable individuals whose names ap peared to the Declaration. From 'the mode of proceeding it would appear to be what it was not, an expression of the opinions of the Merchants of London. It only expressed the sentiments of the individuals, and if its 'character of indi viduality had been- maintained f he should not now have occasion to trouble the House. In consequence of this proceeding; a Meeting was called . at the Mansion..HOuse, of the Mer chants, Bankers,and Traders of the City of Lon don. The Meeting was most numerous; perhaps a larger collection of well-dressed men never as sembled together. All \i'ent on quietly till he came to the 3d resolution, which mentioned her Majesty's name, and then a greater clamotir was raised than he had ever heard • ,before - upon any similar occasion. lie was compelled to say that he had some reason for supposing this to be al together a concerted trick—(hear, hear!)---Land that some of the gentlemen who had'preViously assembled atthe, tavern for the purpcse of agree ing to a loyal declaration, had determined to prevent all, discussion. -Many of those Gentle men he knew, entertained an opinion, that pub lic meetings prevented all discussion ; and they, perhaps, intended on this occasion to give a Tactical proof of the truth of that opinion. He did not mean to apply the observation to all those Gentlemen•who signed. the declaration. In deed very few of them were present. The tt.. Hnult having commenced when her Majesty's name was mentioned, showed that it was done by concert. A sentiment generally prevailed in the city of London, that the proceedings against the Queen were impolitic, and the clamour:rais ed, •made it probable that the Gentlemen from whom it proceeded, were determined to put an end to any debate on the subject. He heard it said, that the business of the' meeting was: not fairly:conducted. For his. part he was aware of nothing that was not in the highest degree proper. The worthy Magistrate who presided did every thing in his power :to preserve order. He heard, indeed, of a prOtest;and'that the majority was on the other side. The protest, he believed, was supported. by only one signature, which could have of course no .great . weight. The worthy Baronet opposite (sir W. Curtis), who, upon this, as upon all occasions, whatever his opinions might be, :and however" he might differ from others, spewed good humour, that worthy Baronet ad mitted, he believed. that the question was fairly carried. Ile hoped they would hear no more of clandestine meetings,and if .public meetings were held, that .they would be conducted with proa priety and good order.' Sit W. CURTI!, rose. He agreed the Hon; Member who had last spoken, that a 'great _deal of-patty Spirit had been manifested at the Meeting in-the tgyptian Hall, bet he could not agree With 'the conchision drawn by the Hot: •Mernber, that the inanifeStation 6f such a tpirit was a prelude to - 4ontething worse. He would admit that the: requisition to the - Lord Mayer for the convening of that meeting had been signed by `Men of honour, respectability, and property; but .he-would never admit that it was signed b men possessing more influence, More talent; or greater property and respectability; than those whose names had been affixed to the declaration agreed to at the City of London Tavern. For - hiS own part, he should be always loyal ; he would support the. Constitutien, and in these times he thotrght - it ligistahat the public should know who Were 'the men ready to stand forward in support Of that Constitution. The meeting hi the Egyptian Hall was-really the largest he had 'ever witnessed in the Metropolis, and the Honourable Member who had just sat down, Made a speech which Was as distinctly heard as any 'speech eaeil'dea livered-at a ptiblie meeting, until the Hon. Mem ber came to - a sentence which alhidett to the Queen, and-then soma symptoms of disapprama tion were manifested. When the , name of the Queen was mentioned at any peblic"meeting Some disapprobation was shewn, And he believ e d that ahe majority of the.' nation, as well in that Rouse as out of it, disapproved of her, condtict. The-Hon. Member (Mr. Smith) could not coon= plain of - the little murmur Whichaprevailed - at the concluSion of his speed], which was heard asWell as the Hon. Member could expect. After the Secretary had come forward and seconded, the Resolutions which were carried, he (SirWiifiarn Curtis) did then ta,ke the liberty of coming ward-to offer a few observations to the nOtice'of as well dressed and as good looking men as he had ever seen assembled in that Hall ; bet there a•as a set of men determined not to hear him or one of his friends. This proved the irupoSSibilitY of drawing a true conclusion, or forming a sound opinion of the sentiments of a populous city from Resolutions agreed. to at meetings such a'S this. —This was the very reason which induced.tha bankers, merchants and trailers, who sigeed: the declaration, not to convene such a 'meeting: Those Gentlemen were, from the habits ofbusi ness, inclined to conduct themselves With a regu larity which never characterized such ptiblic meetings. He had seen many men, who, in con sequence of the confusion prevalent at such meets r , • ings, had declare& that they- would -hot, if tite state were going to ruin, ever interfere in such meetings. He remembered a meeting at GrOcer's Hall, at which there was such . confuskm 'as lie never before witnessed. There was 'in faCra personal battle royal., This was in the 'year 1794, and he had never since attended Such meet+ ings, except where they were all on one side, Mid where there was no difference of opinion. Ain;),rig the names of the requisitionists who blamed. tl:te declaration signed at the London Tavern, he saw* the name of a Mr. Astell ; and if he arerenot • greatly' mistaken, this Gentleman bad in the year 1819,signed a similar declaration, which was alSo signed by George Grenfell and Son, and /et the name of G. Grenfell was =M; the requisition ists. It was very extraardinary that one . set .:0f met should take upon them to dictate to anotht. There was no,petition to the House of Con mops proposed. while he was on the hustings. He hail heard .no other resolutions than those he hadhe fore alluded to put or -Carried. He retired, an d he believed that what was called Carrying a pe tition-was this, the Lord Mayor held tip in . his . hand amid ail the clamour, a paper, which aras . carried by a majority. He had thought it neeei a sary to put a few words, and he hoped the Hone would believe there was nothing incorrect in thy .conduct of him' or his friends, who wished for - ttlY•s thing but what was right. ,Mr. Asaata, after-the personal allusion' whiOS 'had been just made to him by the lion. Barenet; begged to defend himself from the charge of in a. consistency. When a year and a- half ago he had.: assisted at a private meetingOf the Merchants and - Bankers of -London, the -Country was then 'a; different state. If new :lights had since An( time broken in upon him, why was he not 'te'ats: . . tend a public meeting ? The object of that pri vate meeting was to consider the 'expediency 'of the Bills 'which had been brought into Para." - ' litiment, and which he had- nnequitocally held. The. very circumstance of the passing of those Bills rendered private rneetings necessary : because at present no improaAa , persons could break in upon a public meet.... •ing of the -Merchants and Bankers .of the City 'of 'London. It was • his decided cipinical; that' there would have - been e' no tumult -in th Egyptian Hall, but for the Hone Baronet's friend's'. The Declaration of the Merchants who met at the City of London Tavern, was-put forth as the Declaration of the Merchants of the City of Lona -don, which it was not ; nor had the persons Who signed that Petition, any claim to eXchtsive Iby atty. That those who. signed the Petition, we're; ' as loyal and as well disposed preserve the pub lic•peaCe, and to maintain-the Constitution, wonid be evident to' any one who.looked at :their genies, and Who saw their property and their rank in life. It 'was, however, their duty to • tell - the House •of Commons what •their -opinion was. Lord MILTON was -sure that 'the House; heard, :with the greatest regret from the Eat. Barenet, -that henceforth it would lie in vainAV, expect to• ascertain the iientitrienta of the Mer:a chants - and BAtkets•of the City of -London, from ony public nieet . rog at Which they were ats:sein.a.
