GREECE. Athens journals of the 28th ult. have tn ived. They do not confirm the news received by .Tr ieste of the-dissolution of the Chamber of Representatives, in ' consequence of a severe check received by the Ministry in the discussion on t he elections ; but we End, by the report of the proceedings in the Chamber, that the Ministry had received more .than one check, and that a dissolution was probable. As the news from Trieste gave no date for the dissolution, we-can not conclude from the journals that it has not taken place. The Courrier c r Athenes gives a gloomy ac count of the internal condition of Greece. According to this journal, most of the provinces are overrun by brigands, who carry on their depredations almost with impunity. The same journal has the following on the prolonged absence of King Otho : " Urged by the independent press and public opinion, the Ministry has at length broken silence on the pro longation of the absence of the King. The Week, a semi-official journal, says:—' The King has been obliged to remain at Munich beyond the time which he had him self fixed, on account of very important negotiations respecting tho most grave interests of Greece, and particularly the prompt and complete execution of article 40 of the Constitution. His Majesty will return to Greece as soo n as he shall have brought to a termination what i n his high wisdom he has undertaken in favour of the nation.' On the other hand, it appears by the last news from . Munich that the King has decided on prolon g i ng con siderably his stay in that capital. As to the question of the succession, we are assured that it has been agreed that if the Queen of Bavaria, who is now pregnant, shall have a male child, he is to be baptized according to the rights of the Greek Church as soon as he shall have been recognised as the successor to the throne, conform ably with Art. 39 of the Constitution." We read in the Courrier of Athens— , " A disgraceful s cene too k pl a ce on Sun d ay, .23d, in the house of M r. King, a Protestant minister. This gentleman, w h o is an l A me rican sub ject, has been in the habit of preaching every S un d a y at a fixed hour in th e G ree k language, on which occa sion the entrance to his house is always open to the Public. Hitherto not more than a dozen young persons have been in the habit of attending, but on Sunday last upwards of 50 presented themselves at the moment when Mr. King, in alluding to the crime of Cain, pointed out the disastrous re s ults of religions divisions. Suddenly one of his auditors, inter rupting Mr. King, expressed a wish to put sun dry questions to him. M. r . King mildly replied th a t , it the questions referred immed iately to the s u bj ect on which he was then speaking, he would answer them i immediately ; but that, t such was not the case, he wou ld defer the discussion to another day. On this the interrupter I demanded an immediate solution • some of the persons present supported hi m , w hile others opposed him , and such a t err ifi c no i se ensued that Mr. King, th i nk ing himself in danger, left the pulpit, protesting against the violence used against him, and h o isted the Americ an flag on hi s hous. The c rowd then left, uttering loud murmurs, but without com mitting any act of hostility." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

Of Madras, 2,200 bags were offered at auction; good and fine grainy sold at 41s to 43s 6d, being about former rates; but soft kinds were only in part disposed of, at easier rates, brown at 26s 6d to 295, yellow 29s 6d to 335, bright 34s to 365. FOREIGN.—To-day only limited purchases were made in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and there was no public sale; prices close rather lower than on Friday last.

Prices are again id lower for Oolongs. For Gunpowder the demand has been brisk at fully last week's rates; but Young "Tyson met with little attention, and prices are rather lower than on this day week. Other sorts of green supported previous terms, and have met with a good demand. Scented and Pekoe sorts maintained last week's quotations, and several parcels were sold. Of 14,000 pkgs Tea offered at auction yesterday 7,000 were sold, being a much larger production than of late.

Demerara is offered at from 2s 2d to 2s 6d for 30 to 40 over proof, still little has been done for any purpose. For the lower sorts of Jamaica there is much dulness in the market, and rates yet tend downwards; fine, however, has been sold to a fair extent, at former terms.

A "MtRAcLE."—RcatE, MARCH 31.—The alarm ing explosion at the church of Santa Prassede, in this city, Last week, was followed up by a scene of another but not less singular kind in the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria, in Trastevere, where a preacher of the order of missionaries succeeded in working up his hearers to an unwonted pitch of fear and contrition at their misdeeds, and informed them that a collection of such miserable sinners had no longer any right to insult the Divinity by appearing in his holy house and presence. He, therefore, invited them all to leave the church, and, setting them the example himself, he came down from the pulpit, and led his wondering congregation into the Piazza, where some time was occupied in prayers n m g o t i h n e t r o o ft the church, or processions. Finally, he informed them that by the inter cession h, hopedand they accordinglyw er e m o h r e e knocked at the door (whichhad been shut meanwhile) and dmittance tor himself and his flock, who were stir worthy obtained a of the t h r e e returning a large image of the Virgin Marysurrounded prised to tapersfinL exactly opposite the entrance. iI usuale by lighted .colo" saluted this change of place on the part cry of " Mira and salutary effects are asserted to have already of the statue, .consequence amongst some hardened shown themselves in Trasteverini o ff enders, s, .. hose consciences have b een touched by so great 4 pro,ligy% CASE of SUICIDE -- on Tuesday an inqu es t was . hold at the Sussex Hotel, near the terminus, before W.

Their Lordships assembled at Four o'clock. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny Bill, the Mills and Factories (Ireland) Bill, and the Designs Act Extension Bill. The Lords Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Minto, and Lord Campbell. Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure. Their Lordships re•asssembled at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord REDESDALE presented several petitions against Papal aggression. Lord RATHERTON presented a petition in favour the Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented peti tions from several places in Scotland against Papal ag gression. APPRENTICES AND SERVANTS BILL. The Earl of CARLISLE moved that the report on this Bill should be brought up, with amendments. Lord REDESDALE objected to taking the age of 18 as a limitation, and would move that the words be omitted, so as to extend the provisions of the clause to any persom whom the master was bound to supply with food. The Earl of CARLISLE agreed to the amendment. The report on the Bill, as amended, was then ordered to be received. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the third reading of this Bill. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL the mo tion was agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this Bill.—Agreed to. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of the Patent Law Amendment Bill (No. 2).—Agreed to. The Bills were ordered to be referred to a Select Com mittee. LAW OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Bill to amend the law of evidence. This Bill pro posed to admit parties interested in the cause to give evidence in civil cases. It had been decided by the courts ,of law that a party was excluded from giving evi dence only by having an interest in the event of the suit; that point had been settled by the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, when presided over by Chief Justice Tindal, in the case of Worrell v. Jones. Since then the evidence of persons having an interest was admitted under the provisions of Lord Denman's Act, passed in 1843. The Bill which he now proposed was merely a corollary of Lord Denman's Act; since that Act had poked the County Courts Act had passed, and in every cause tried under that Act the parties to the suit were examined, and in the majority of instances they had been examined. He proposed to extend this provi sion to all cases. It had been said that this provision would be an encouragement to perjury —(Hear, hear) —but the refusal of such an enactment was a temptation to subornation of perjury, and there were not a few reasons to show that witnesses tendered by parties were much more likely to commit perjury than the parties themselves. No one could be better acquainted with the case than the parties themselves, and under cross-examination the perjury of such persons was much more likely to be discovered than that of a suborned witness. Again, how many persons were there who would have a scruple at foreswearing themselves who would not scruple to suborn others. Again, how often did not partial witnesses give a colour to transactions who would not commit the foul crime of perjury. Again, the man who committed perjury in support of his own case would make much greater shipwreck of his character than the man who should give exaggerated evidence as a zealous partizan. But those who opposed the principle seemed to forget in how many instances they already admitted the testimony of parties, both in affidavits before a court of common law, end in answers to interrogatories in the Court of Chancery. Ia both these cases there was far more real danger of false swearing than in viva voce examinations, and be sides there was sure to be concealment of truth—almost as great a moral crime; for the party swearing was not sworn to tell " the whole truth," but only that what he swore was the truth. He considered that it depended on the principle of the form of the proceeding whether it was right that the litigant parties should be examined. Should an action for assault or battery be brought into a civil court for damages, the plaintiff is not at present ad mitted as evidence, whereas, if he happens to be de feated in the one court, he can have recourse to the cri minal court, and then he alone can give evidence, as the Crown is the prosecutor; and thus the plaintiff may, on his own testimony, convict his adversary. He did not mean that a system that is irreconcileable with one court should be admitted in another. He should now refer to the testimony of some very eminent and ex perienced men in favour of his opinions. Mr. Ad dison who was a judge in the county courts in the north of Lancashire, a gentleman of some nine or ten years' experience in those courts, gave it as his testimony, that there was no apprehension of perjury taking place, and that it was wrong that an examination of the parties on the grounds of perjury should take place, as such did not often occur. He (Mr. Addison) gave several cases dur ing his experience, when the defendants did not plead a denial on oath, and that out of 64 cases, consisting only of the plaintiff and defendant, that came under his in vestigation, 27 were decided in favour of the defendant, and 37 fur the plaintiff, and such did not occur through the examination of the parties. Mr. Dowling, chairman of the county courts, for forming a system for them; Mr. Childers, another chairman of county courts, and Mr. Gale, county courts judge of Hampshire; Professor Amos, of the University of Cambridge, who had been for many years the Recorder of Oxford, and afterwards of Cam bridge, a gentleman distinguished alike for his eru dition and legal acumen; all these distinguished lawyers were strongly in favour of such a mode of proceeding. He did not think that he need go further, any more thanthat he thought it unjust and unfair that in the case of a difference between merchants or other em ployers, the proprietor, as plaintiff, would not be per mitted,,though his evidence might be most potent in fur thering the ends of justice, whilst his servants and others who could not clearly elucidate the case, were admitted as evidence, very frequently to the prejudice of their masters. Ile considered that it would be most invaluable to admit the testimony of the masters. Now he would ask, was it not equally right that such plaintiffs should be heard in the high courts as well as in the county courts, for he believed that there would be greater secu rity in the supreme courts, as the case would be tried before a jury and an experienced judge, who would di rect, instruct, and superintend the jury in cases of diffi culty, and he felt assured that there would be no appre hension of perjury or bribery before such a tribunal. He would add that it was much more probable that perjury would take place in the county courts than in the su preme courts. He then moved the second reading. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had no ob jection to the second reading of the Bill, but he should say that he considered that those who knew most of the proceedings of the supreme courts were the fittest persons to examine all matters appertaining to such proceedings. He should say, from his experience, that the Adminis tration of justice would be best promoted and facilitated by the parties being examined.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") He looked upon the judges of Westminster-hall as the most suitable persons to entertain those proceedings, and not the judges of the county courts, who were not so ca pable fur the examination of the litigant parties. He also thought that it would be judicious that each side should put interrogatories to the adversary, for fre quently the most able counsel would influence a jury; and, in addition to that, a false witness often deceives a jury by the manner he details his testimony. He be lieved that the Legislature had taken a long stride in favonr of the Bill. There was another matter which he looked upon as a very important one, and that was, that by the present Bill the wife could be coerced to come into court to give evidence against her husband. Such a course he looked upon as very unjust, because by it do mestic confidence would be risked to a very great extent. He hoped that their Lordships would not support that clause of the Bill, and he intended vghon the Bill went into committee to move the rejection of that clause. Lord BROUGHAM said that he did not see why the wife should not be brought into the higher courts as well as in the county courts, where the wife could be brought witness against the husband for a sum under 50/. Lord CAMPBELL said that ho wished to see the maxim always upheld, namely, that the wife should Lot be examined against the husband. As it was in clramon law so should it be in Chancery. It was a disgrace to the administration of justice that parties should now go to the Court of Chancery in quest of having their claims sanctioned, while before that could be done they were sent back to the courts of equity, and had to go through an interminable course of litigation, so that in many cases years rolled on before their case was decided. He considered that the measure now proposed was a movement in the right direction, and, while he objected to some of its details, he must give his support to the second reading of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Lord CR ANWORTH also supported the second reading of the Bill, and confessed that, in his opinion, Jeremy Bentham was right when ho said that, were the wife examined in cases affecting her husband, in five cases out of six no other witnesses would be re quired. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the Bill was read a second time. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COALIIONS, April 11. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The followinc , Bills were read a third time and passed: Argerstein's b ßranch Railway. Bristol and Exeter Railway. Commercial Docks Improvemont. Wiveliscjmbe Turnpike Road. PETITIONS.

Mr. Pulman, the Deputy- Usher of the Black Rod, ap peared at the bur of the House, and summoned the Speaker to attend in the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given to certaiu 'Bills (for which see Lords' report). The SPEAKER returned, and the House resumed. Mr. ROEBUCK presented petitions from Sheffield, for and against the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill.

RUSSELL gave notice that on Monday he ifibuld move his motion with regard to the Kafirs 13 an amendment to the motion of the Honourable Member for Stafford. VICTUALLING THE NAVY. .Colonel CHATTERTON wished to ask the First Lord or the Admiralty how the balance of the sum voted for thb victualling of the navy for 1850-51, viz., 496,1821., was disposed of, and in what proportions to English, Irish, and foreign houses; as he has only stated that 34,4781. was paid for salt pork out of the original grant, in his reply on the Bth inst.? Sir F. BARING was not prepared to go into the de tails; but he should have no objection to supply the in formation if the Hon. and Gallant Member would move for it. CIVIL BILLS. "Mr. SADLEIR wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland what information, if any, had been collected by the Government to justify the scale of Salaries, the stamp duties and fees, proposed by the Civil Bills, &c. (Ire land) Bill, and whether any and what returns have been obtained from the assistant barristers and clerks of the peace of counties with reference to the amount of busi ness done in the Quarter Sessions Courts during the last feiv years? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said Government had framed the scale on the returns before the (louse. THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER. Sir E. N. BUXTON, in the absence of Mr. Horsman, asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was true that the Bishop of Gloucester had renewed the lease of Horfield; and, if so, whether there was any ob jection to laying a copy of the lease before the House, together with any communications that might have passed with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners on the stibject?__ _ _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said he had communicated with the Ecclesiastical Commission, and had ascertained that they had no jurisdiction in the matter to which the Hon. Member referred. ' NEW AMERICAN TARIFF. • J.ord J. MANNERS wished to know whether the Government had received any dispatch respecting the recent proposed alterations in the tariff of the United LABOUCHERE said the last dispatch received by the Government was dated on the 28th of February, and it stated that a Bill had passed the House of Repre sentatives amending the law, which was previously very faglty, respecting imports, but this Bill had not become law. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. On the motion that the House at its rising adjourn till Monday, Sir G. GREY said he wished to correct a statement which ho made yesterday, in answer to a question from the Honourable Member for Montrose, with respect to the admission of the public to St. aul's Cathedral. He stated yesterday that an arrangement had been made by" the Dean and Chapter and the Ecclesiastical Com missioners for the purpose of throwing open the area of St. Paul's to the public free of charge. That statement was perfectly correct, but be then went on to say that in anticipation of the order of the Privy Council the Dean and Chapter bad already opened the area of the cathe dral. He had received a communication from the Dean today, saying that this was a mistake, and that it was necessary to adhere to the present charge for a short time longer, pending the carrying out of the new arrangement, but that he had every reason to hope that the building would be opened to the public without charge by the Ist of May next. PATENT LAWS. In reply to Mr,CARDWELL, Mr. LABOUCHERE said it was the intention of Earl Granville to introduce a Bill that evening into the House of Lords for the improvement of the patent laws. The motion that the House at its rising adjourn till Monday next was then carried. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. In answer to a question from Mr. AGLIONBY, Lord JOEIN RUSSELL said that he proposed to take the second reading of this Bill on Monday, the 12th of May. ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. AGLIONBY moved that Henry Edwards be dis charged from the. custody of the Sergeant -at-Arms, without payment of fees. The ground of his motion was, that the proceedings of the Committee were entirely • informal, in consequence of their having adjourned over, more than twenty-four hours without having obtained leave from the House. Well, they did adjourn for more than twenty-four hours. This might have been an act of kindness, but it was to come to any decision without having reference to the orders of the House. There had evidently been a breach of those orders, and therefore the House could not act upon the decision of the Committee. They had adopted a course which no doubt was quite in accord ance with the impulse• of good feelings, and which was calculated to save expense and the feelings of the par ties concerned.—(Hear, hear.) But they should re member that they were not to act upon feelings, but upon the directions of Parliament. He would, therefore, simply content himself with putting the motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that this was without doubt a great and important question. It ap peared to him that certainly a mistake had been com mitted by those appointed to make the inquiry. Were even the Act of Parliament entirely complied with by the Committee, it was perfectly evident that the state ments made before it could not be gainsayed. He did not desire to enter at all into the question, but it was plain that Edwards had been duly committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and that be could not be released under a month without an express order of the House. Mr. G. BANKES wished to know whether the Hon. Member for Cockermonth had any particular interest in relieving Edwards from his present confinement? Sir F. THESIGER said that the facts of the case were all patent to the House. and it was clear a breach of the privileges of the House had been committed. Yet, notwithstanding this, it was quite com petent for the House to entertain the question as to whether Edwards should be retained in custody or not; but on constitutional grounds it was his impression that the House should come to no decision until they had the evidence before them. "Mr. WALPOLE regretted that Mr. Edwards had not been called to the bar of the House and questioned upon the allegations contained in bis petition. His petition denied the charge imputed to him, and though he (Mr. Walpole) did not think it expedient to raise the question of ..he validity now, he yet thought it would be decidedly unjust to retain Mr. Edwards in custody without at once questioning him upon the matters brought against him. He should therefore move as an amendment that Mr. Edwards be called to the bar of the House, and questioned by the, Speaker upon the truth of the allegations contained in his petition. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded the amend ment. Mr. AGLIONBY could not agree with the amend ment. Mr. Edwards ought to have been called to the bar before he was committed, and he should contend that the House had no right to d o it now . The q u e s ti on now to be considered was simply had the Committee power to report? He, for one, certainly thought they had not; and therefore the committal of Ur. Edwards was illegal. He had no objection to the course proposed by the Hon. and Learned Attorney- General, and he hoped the House would adopt it and postpone the discussion until after the meeting of the Committee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL told the House that, had it not been for the technical objection raised by the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, 51r. Edwards would long since have been called to the bar, and questioned about the truth of his allegations. He felt the inconve nience of keeping that person in custody until Monday, but still, if the Hon. and Learned Member for Cocker mouth were authorised by Mr. Edwards to sanction that course, why there was an end of the difficulty. He thought the right course to pursue, and that most agreeable to precedent, was to call the prisoner to the bar of the House, and to read to him the minutes of evi dence, and then if be could clear himself of that evidence, ,he had no doubt the House would order his discharge. Mr. AGLIONBY considered that as all the injury Clad already been done to Mr. Edwards, it would be much better to continue him in custody until Monday.— (Laughter.) Ile was perfectly satisfied that he would be liberated on Monday on the legal question, and without being made liable for costs, and therefore he was in favour of an adjournment of the question until that day. Sir R. INGLIS reminded the House that the prisoner was convicted on the express testimony of two creditable witnesses, who were examined in his presence. Mr. ANSTEY said it had been assumed by some Hon. Members that Edwards had been committed for the purpose of compelling him to do something to fur ther the proceedings before the Committee, but that was not the case; he had been found guilty by the Com mittee of a successful attempt of tampering with the evidence of important witnesses, who, thanks to his exertions, had absconded, and were now perhaps beyond the jurisdiction of the House. He thought the petition of the prisoner considerably ag gfavated the contempt of which he had been guilty, and his denial of be charge was anything but satisfactory. After a few words from Sir F. THESIGER, the figther consideration of the petition was adjourned until ONFonday next. ASSESSED TAXES ACT. Mr. COWAN 'presented a patition from Edinburgh gainst the house tax. Mn th© motion that, the Speaker do leave the chair, i.Mr. BANKES wished to know whether the Chancellor If the Exchequer had yet made up his mind upon what )ftnciple he meant to ascertain the assessment for the souse-tux? 'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the rating would b 3 made On the annual value of the house, to be ascertained as it best could be. Mr. DISRAELI then said—l proceed now to the onsideration of the amendment of which I have given ziotice, on the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman the chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir, the manner in which Vie Government, an d I m ay say, i n a certa i n d egree , th e *louse of Commons, have considered the position of the dgricultural interest of this country since the meeting 4ince the commencement of the session of Parliament, gums to me so perplexing and so contradictory—so Wanting, I may say, inconsistency—seemingly influenced slo much by a spirit, however unintenti o n a l, of injustice— trending so much, I think, to hurt the feelings, shake the confidence, and offend the jest and honest pride of a very important portion et her Majesty's subjects— thtat .1 thought, Sir, before the adjournment of the House, before we west 'auk to our constituents, I would make an effort to induce the House and the Government dis passionately to coksider, and after a fair discussion, Watt- 1 encecl, as I am'sure it will be, only by a desire to errive at a 1 just and true conclusion, to induce them to adopt that opinion which I have expressed in the resolution which I shall put into your hands, and which I believe to be dictated by a principle of justice and sincere feeling of , sympathy and conciliation.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The suffering and distress of the owners and occupiers of land have for a considerable time occupied the attention and consideration (and naturally too the consideration) of Government—as the admissions by confession, and expressions which were continued for several sessions in the speeches of her Majesty's Minis ters; but it was only this year that the Government, no doubt seeing the gravity of the circumstances, felt it to be their duty to counsel her Majesty in her most gracious Speech from the Throne, publicly and authori tatively, to recognise and deplore the existence and con tinuance of these difficulties. Sir. lam far from pre. suming to blame her Majesty's Ministers for not having counselled her Majesty on previous occasions to have made an acknowledgment which then would have been only a just one, for I am aware that it is no light re sponsibility which is incurred by a Government when they counsel the Sovereign to acknowledge the distress of au important interest in this country. No doubt that such a recognition vases, and naturally raises, the expectations of the community that the acknowledgment will be followed by a remedy. It is difficult to under stand what can authorise Government in a manner so public and so authoritative to call the attention of Par liament and the country, I may say even of the world, to the condition of a class, unless they felt that that condition was pregnant with important conse quences to the whole community, and unless they wished to prepare Parliament and the country for the undertaking of measures which should at least attempt to mitigate, if not remove, the distress which they de. plore.—(Cheers.) After that important act—after the meeting of Parliament and the Speech from the Throne; when expectations had naturally and unusually been ex cited, not only throughout the country generally, but particularly amongst that class that were suffering, and whose sufferings, difficulties, and distress, after the re-, cognition of them by the Throne, were no longer a theoretical evil, no longer a question of doubt, but a great political fact, a Parliamentary consequence, tq which the political council of the country was called 'upon to address their attention—(Hear)—the First Mis nister of the Crown said to this House while ho de plored with well-expressed sympathy, and in tones almost of despair, the distress which existed, confessed to the House of Commons that he w as un p re p are d anal unable to propose any remedy.—(Hear.) What, Sir was the conduct of this House under these circum e stances ? Duly respecting and appreciating the commu-t nication from the Throne, and astonished at the confesa sion of the Minister which followed it, the House felt it, to be its duty to interpose, and a discussion of great gravity and considerable length occurred.—(Hear4 A proposition was made in this House expressing it& opinion that under the circumstances of the case, and after such an acknowledgment, and in consequence of , the existence of such distress and difficulties, it was the: duty of the Minister to introduce a remedial measure' which the circumstances of the case required, and; which the acknowledgment of the Crown rendered in-' evitable, as it seemed to us.—(Cheers.) What was' the result of this motion? In one of the fullest Houses of the session that expression of opinion was negatived by a; majority so small—(Hear, hear)—that upon a subse-: quent occasion the Prime Minister of the Crown con-' fessed that the result of that division shook the Govern- 1 ment to its centre.—(Cheers.) Indeed he intimated that it was, if not the proximate, the real cause of the disso-; lotion of the Cabinet and breakup of Government.—: (Cheers.) Thus far, on considering the events of the' session, we observe that the Crown, under the advices of the Government, has recognised the extreme distress, of the agricultural classes of the community, and at the same time that Government, not coming forward to fulfil! es it were the implied intentions of the Crown, the House' of Commons stepped in; and although it did not for nattily obtain on the part of the Government an agree ment, still there was a favourable expression of opinion; that it was the duty of Government so to interpose. And' interpose the Government did, because, when within forty-eight hours of that division it became the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make his financial statement for the year, be made a proposition of twte measures, the object of which was to mitigate the dis tress of the owners .and occupiers of land—(ob, oh, and Heaalhear)—proving, therefore, that the interposition of the House had created the necessary harmony that was, requisite in the Ministry—(Laughter)—and that the , recognition of that distress of the owners and occu piers of land made by the Crown was now likely to be followed up by measures proposed by the Go vernment to mitigate if not remove, that distress.— (Hear.) I enter at this point into no controversy on the amount of the possible relief to be afforded; all I wish to remind the House of is, that after Government had de clared it was not in their power to propose any measure to mitigate the distress, the House of Commons ex'- pressed their opinion, and immediately afterwards a pro position is made with the object of mitigating those dif ficulties.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, the financial statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Ex chequer met with a reception which was extremely un favourable. lam bound to say, speaking, as I shall continue to do in all I shall have to say that which I be lieve to be really true, that as far as the quarters from which that opposition principally emanated, I think the obloquy which the scheme of the Right Hon. Gentleman met with was unjust. I think that although in his finan cial statement, so far as my own views and principles and those of the gentlemen with whom I have the plea sure of acting aee concerned, these views are not fa voured; yet so far 'as those who aro supporters of the Right Hon. Gentleman are concerned, I think they had very little cause to impugn and find fault with what was proposed. It was in accordance with the principles of the Government and of those who are its general sup porters. But having made that admission, of which the Right Hon. Gentleman may make as much use as he likes, he is himself the last man in this House who will deny that his financial scheme was blamed by his friends in a manner not very flattering to a Minister of Finance. —(Hear, hear, and laughter.) There was a great out cry in the country, especially in the towns, against the Budget of the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) There is hardly any term of vituperation, any epithet of obloquy which was. not showered on the luckless Chan cellor of the Exchequer.—(Laughter.) He was abused, • he was denounced, he was described as the Jonah that ought to be thrown into the surging waves to save the other passengers on board the vessel.—(Laughter.) In deed it was generally understood by all the Members of ' the Liberal party, and declared by them, that they were ready to make any Sacrifices to support the Government; but that a sine qua non of their adhesion was that the Right Hon. Gentlernan the Chanceller of the Exche quer should never appear again behind that red box.— (Cheers and laughter.) But, together with this general dissent, there was also that which I must describe as the metropolitan howl—a peculiar outcry, which has its characteristics, which threatens a great deal, but does very little.—(Laughter.) It does not carry Reform Bills like Birmingham, nor corn-laws repeal like Manchester —(Laughter)—which always deports itself in the most alarming manner, and which always commences by say ing " Stop the supplies," and ends by supporting the Minister.—(Laughter.) But, Sir, if this is the state of the urban community, if this is the manner and spirit in which the propositions of the Government were wel comed in the country, what was the manner in which another proposition' for alleviating the distress and assisting the difficulties of the agricultural class was received?—(Hear, hear.) Sir, on the evening of the financial statement of the Right Honourable Gentleman, when he was denounced by his intimate supporters, and attacked by his most confidential adhe rents—(Hear and laughter)—the Right Hon. Member for Stamford (Mr. Berries), who took the lead on this side in the observations offsred during that discussion, made no allusion whatsoever to the measure brought for ward for the relief of agricultural distress. If I speak of myself, my mouth was silent all through, for I took no part in the debate. Two other county Members made some reference to the proposition of the Government. One of them was the Hon. Member for Oxford, who now ticod the proposition of the Minister indeed, but, with his characteristic ceution, gave no opinion on the sub ject; the other was the worthy Baronet the Member for' Essex, who shrewdly accepted the proposition, because it seemed to involve the concession of an important prin ciple. This was the reception which the Right lion.. Gentleman's statement met at this side of the House, and as for its reception with the agricultural community out of the House, certainly there would be some diffi culty in selecting any terms of panegyric —(Laughter) —in which it might be spoken of, but this even the' Right Hon. Gentleman himself could not have antici pated—(Hear, bear)—but I think I may defy even the. powers of research of the Treasury to bring forward any expression of blame.—(Hear, hear.) It was indeed cen sidered insignificant, but so little was expected from the present Ministers, that there was not even any great disappointment on the part of that class of -the, community which were prepared to receive any substantial measure with contentment and grati-' tude. Such being the state of things considerable' events occurred. There occurred a Ministerial crisis. The public business was arrested and suspended '.for: nearly six weeks. , I threw a veil over that chaotic Piss' riod which has nothing to do with the circumstance -to which I am now calling the attention of the House. But after that interval of agitation and anarchy the House, of Commons, having recovered its usual sobriety of tone, was naturally very anxious to receive the financial , statement of the Minister. Great difficulty was expe rienced in arriving at this, and efforts were made on both sides of the' House, and by various contending sections representing all views and shades 'of opinion, to' procure this statement. But after almost convulsive efforts on the part of the Government to avoid any ex planation, the day was fixed—the House assembled— . and the explanation was made.—(Hear, hear.) Great anticipations existed in the public mind and in this House that there would be a considerable alteration in the scheme of the Minister. The Hon. Gentleman, who had described the Chancellor of the Exchequer as Jonah —(Laughter)—and others with him, naturally felt some awkwardness in supporting the same Budget which they: had thus coarsely denounced. We were all waiting in. great expectation. I give great credit to the Right Hon, Gentleman that under the circumstances of the case he mainly adhered to the financial scheme which he ori ginally proposed. It showed that moral courage on his part which both aides of the House must admire — (Hear, and laughter)—but what surprised me most was, that in the alterations made, the only persons considered'were those who had -declared the Right Hon. Gentleman unworthy of all confidence, and they were considered at the aspens° of that party which had at least treated him with the courtesy and the respect due to his eminent position.—(Hear, hear.) On that occa sion the Right Hon. Gentleman, on re-adjusting his scheme for the repeal of the window-tax, which required greater funds than had been originally at his disposal, found this resource in a quarter unexpected, and in ts, manner unprecedented. The Right lion. Gentleman. wanted some 200,0001, more than his original eLan (la. mandsd, and what does be du? He takes up his pen and scratches out the two remedial measures intended to mitigate and assist the difficulties of the suffering land owners of England, and then he gives for his reason that the proposition was received iu such an ungracious man ner, he will now show his sense of our went of grati tude. I have always thought, Sir, that Ministerial propositions in this House were the result of grave counsel and the mature deliberation of Cabinet confi dence and communication; that they were suggested by a sense of public duty; by taking an unimpassioned sur vey of public circumstances; that they were not brought forward in levity or merely to gain party support; nor, on the other hand, were they to be withdrawn from any feeling of personality, nor in a tone of flippant ca price.—(Rear.) But what remains? The fact is, that we were as guilty of ungraciousness who wereonly silent. Recollect that that which was proposed by Government as a consequence of mature counsel, as a matter called for by a sense of public duty, was withdrawn on the plea of our ungraciousness, and was extended to that— I will not say adverse—interest, which had been parti cularly distinguished for the mean and almost indecorous manner in which tbey treated the financial statement of the Minister. The Right Hon. Gentleman had no right to expect gratitude from us. He had done very little for us—and if it was received without any demonstra tion of practical gratitude, he had no right to be as tonished. But according to his own notions he ex pected differently, although they who spurned him and hie Budget were treated with additional favours; while we, who treated his suggestions with respect, had our claims to consideration depreciated, and had it an nounced in the face of the House of Commons that if we had any claim it had been forfeited by our disre spectful conduct.—(Hear, hear.) But these are slight considerations, though important in a certain sense—for all this time remember that the interest suffering is that which the Government are every night admitting to be the only suffering one in the community, the interest of which they counselled their Sovereign to recognise the distress. Yet it is proposed to extend that which is taken from us to a portion of the community which we are every night informed is in a condition of unpa ralleled prosperity.—(Haar, hear.) I beg Hon. Gentle men at either side of the House dispassionately to con sider the circumstances at which we have arrived, and the incidents which have occurred in this short but eventful session. Is it not true that the circumstances I have detailed are an accurate narrative of what has oc curred?—(Hear, hear.) Is it not true that the distress which prevailed in one particular class was announced and noticed in the Speech from the Throne, and that the First Minister of the Crown, notwithstanding the expectation raised by that announcement, acknowledged to Parliament that he can do nothing to remedy that distress? Is it not true that the House of Commons in terferes to assert that this remedy should be prepared? Is it not true that, forty-eight hours after, the Govern ment brings in a Budget in which no remedial measures are contained? and is it not equally true that this Budget is withdrawn, and another substitued into which remedial measures are admitted ? (Hear, hear.) I would ask any men of sense and honour, can they sanction a course of proceeding as unjust as inconsistent ? Is this a line of conduct which tends to establish confidence in a certain class ? Is it one which necessarily offends the feelings of that portion of the community, and leads them to believe that their claims are not viewed in that spirit of justice which ought to prevail amongst all classes of the community? I would ask, has anything occurred in the condition of the owners and occupiers of land since Parliament met which makes any difference of opinion as to their con dition? No one can say there is any such. There is no doubt, whatever may be the cause—whatever opinions may bo held of the expediency or the necessity of the legislation which occasioned it—no man in this House will deny that the owners and occupiers of land in the United Kingdom are in a state of unprecedented difii culty.—(Hear, hear.) Look at the main features of the case. You have a diminution of rents, which we aro informed may be taken at the rate of 10 per cent. [A Voice, " More.") lam told more. I will say, however, a diminution of rents to the amount of 10 per cent. I do not know whether it is more, but I know it will soon be more.—(Hear, hear.) Take the rental of the United Kingdom at a moderate computation—at, say 60,000,0001., as that amount is accepted by the most eminent statists. Well, here you have a loss to one class of 6,000,0001. I do not say that this is a sufficient ground on which to come forward and ask Parliament for relief. This is not the point lam going to put before the House. You have, and will have, a continued diminution of rents; but I must remind the House that at a certain period the diminution of rent ceases to be a mere loss to the proprietor of the land; for when you have ac complished a diminution of twenty-five per cent., you have, by an unnerriog law of economics, thrown certain lands out of cultivation—your cold clays and your thin land can never be brought into cultivation on a diminution of 25 per cent. Now, I will not say that any such diminution affords per se the slightest claim for any class to come to this House to ask for relief. But lam not of that school which looks upon any diminution of rent as an abstract accession to the national prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) And this you will all admit, that a diminution of rent, even to the amount of 10 per cent., or 6,000,000/. a year, is a cir cumstance which has a tendency to create distress among the class which has to endure it.—(Bear, hear.) Let us look first to the case of the occupiers of land. I shall take a very moderate estimate of the amount of capital invested in the soil by the farmers of the United King dom before that change in the law which has occasioned this diminution of their capital. I shall take the whole amount of the capital of the farmers of the United King dom at that which has often been stated, and by very eminent authorities too, as the amount of the capital in vested in the soil by the farmers of England alone. I shall take the amount of the capital invested in the soil by the farmers of the United Kingdom at the time when the repeal of the corn-laws took place at only 300,000,000/. Now a third of that has disappeared. I do not mean to say that that circumstance alone con stitutes a good reason why the farmers of the United Kingdom should come to this House for relief ; but it is indubitable evidence that the class which has undergone such a vicissitude of fortune must necessarily be in a state of great distress and difficulty.— (Hear, hear.) We cannot suppose that since that pub lic recognition of that distress and difficulty was made by her Majesty in her most gracious Speech, and more especially as that recognition was not made until the suffering had become chronic—we cannot supp l o tk se ely to that anything had occurred, or that anything is occur, to remedy that evil. Well, then, I think I have established this position, that if her Majesty's Ministers are in the happy position of having at their disposal a surplus revenue—if, as they themselves admit, there is only one, although a most important, class in this coun try suffering great distress at this moment—if all other classes are in a state of unprecedented prosperity, it surely became her Majesty's Ministers to consider whether, if they had resolved on a distribution of that surplus in the way of remissions of taxes, it was not in their power to propose such remissions as might alleviate the distress and mitigate the suffering of that class.— (Hear, hear.) And now I have to consider whether it was in the power of her Majesty's Government to pro pose in the construction of their Budget any measures which would have that tendency. I must admit that I have considerable advantages—such as seldom fall to the lot of a Member of this House speaking from the Opposition side—ia arguing that point. Her Ma jesty's Ministers cannot call upon me, although the task were but too easy a one, to substantiate the statement that distress exists.—(Hear, hear.) They have themselves given the most authoritative evidence upon that head; and it must have been after frequent councils—after profound deliberations—after lengthened and mature researches—that they counselled her Ma jesty to make that declaration to the country.—(Hear, hear.) And, therefore, it were hardly necessary for me to advert to those great statistical facts, which, never theless, with the indulgence of the House, I shall briefly allude to. I have another great advantage upon this oc casion. I might under ordinary circumstances have been asked even if her Majesty's Government admitted the distress as they did on the first night of the session—l might have been asked by her Majesty's Ministers, " What can we do?" But I can hardly be asked that upon this occasion, because her Majesty's Ministers have themselves in this session proposed measures to remedy those evils—(Hear, hear)—have themselves, after due deliberation, of course, proposed measures to the House - efficiency or inefficiency of which may be matters for future controversy and discussion; but the great fact remains, that they have themselves, after having deli berated on the sufferings of the owners and occupiers of land, devised schemes for the relief of those sufferings. —(hear, hear.) Those are very great advantages—dis tress admitted by the Crown, nay, announced by the Crown, and remedial plans nut only suggested, but proposed by the Government. Happy interest ! which finds itself in such a position.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Well, we have at once a measure—and it is the first measure to which I shall refer—we have at once a measure, the object of which is to relieve this distress and which to a certain degree, in the opinion of the Government, is efficient for that pur pose. It is the opinion of her Maj esty's Ministers—and it is the only one of their proposals which I shall pro ceed to consider—that it is desirable, or rather that it was desirable, that the expense incurred by the owners and occupiers of land in the maintenance of pauper lu natics should be borne by the community which is generally interested in that subject, and that the tendency of such a measure, if it were adopted, would be to afford relief to the agricultural interest. In the making that suggestion her Majesty's Ministers acted on a recom mendation in the report of the Lords' Committee on the burdens upon land. That temperate, painstaking, an d thoughtful Committee, the business of which was con ducted by men consisting of both parties, and second to none in either House of Parliament in their knowledge of the rural life and interests of England— many of whom were warm supporters of those prin ciples of political economy which regulate our present commercial legislation—that Committee gave it as their opinion that the charge for pauper l una ti cs was one which ought to be removed from the land, and borne by the community at large. Her Majesty's Ministers, after having deliberated 011 that suggestion, made a proposition to the House of a partial character, but completely recognising the principle of the Com mittee of the House of Lords, anti brought forward that proposition as one the tendency of which was to mitigate this distress and t o remove this depression. Well, then, we have a practical measure before the House for this object —no matter what may be the amount of the con cession or its degree of efficiency--we have a practical measure introduced by the Government, after due de liberation. Ido not myself consider that that proposi tion of her Majesty's Ministers was by any means to be despised. I agree with my Honourable Friend the I Member for Essex (Sir J. Tyrell) that it conceded a , great principle; and I myself, on a subsequent occasion reminded the Right Honourable Gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer of that fact; bat the Right Hon, r flteelleeran mieeindersteoti the ti.ndeeey of my o " ela ' Le tione. 1 I allied the admission of a that proposition of the Government, not becatu e r ,. would found upon that circueastance a precedent.. 70; removing iron] reel property, and more especia ll 7 tr , the land, the administration of the local taxation er the country, or, rather, the local administration ef , ', A principle mad° l'i country. There is nothing I more deprecate, or vili," , " t I should more deplore, than a removal of L i u ., local adminietrat.ioo, and such a course I have never advocated.—(Hear, hear.) What I valued vi ne that that was an admission that the local taxsiwf,. which is a consequence of that local edministration, wee . o f prope. ,_ l° . a T Peculiar t r e rd a e d n m u is p E o ic u n a l‘ p ,h a i r c t l i i c I n lavralkueinddas embodied the proposal of her Majesty's Ministers, and that adtla:, sion might have led us to the consideration of some very important circumstances, into which, however, I dell, think it necessary to enter up on thi s occ asion. 11 %, ras_ , now, I have pi ece d b e f o r e th e H ouse one v ery cnod e but emin ent ly en d essent i a ll y pract i ca l measur e, the e dency of whi c h wou ld b e to a ll ev i ate t h e di s tress o' te tbet .1 agricultural i n t eres t ; an d h ere I must o b se rve Ote ro wish to confin e m y se lf so l e l y to a cons id era ti o n of T., overwhelming dif f i cu l t i es w hi c h are now exper ienced u a l. the occupiers of the soil.—(Hear, hear.) This is a 0 °,4 sure, mind you, that has been sanctioned and aPPr e/ e i r of by the Government, that has been submitted to their' examination, to their mature deliberation, and that ha s been introduced to the notice of Parliament under..,.,, the, most remarkable circumstances. These circumst",;, prove how deeply they must have considered the raa t ' er and how anxious they must have been to arrive at s n i f tisfactory conclusion with respect to it, because, cle e va convinced as they were of the distress of the occuPiel l o the soil, and notwithstanding th e a d m i ss i ons o f the 0 0) . 0 , upon the subject, they had th emse l ves d ec l are d theirL s ability to suggest a remedy for that distress, and it 'd not until after a decleratien o f o pi n i on on the Part fiet the House of Commons that th e y were i n d u ced t O , I their ingenuity to work in the m a tt er .—(H ear , he°Nd ee shall now remind the House of ano th er measu re, 100 4 rate in its character, but which i n th e re li e f that it we ' b e afford would be very much valu e d by th e f arme rs of ! tit ' $ country. lam nor, however, now recomme nding l o s measure; for I am only going through this catalogue „ ti , the purpose of showing that it is no t diffi cu lt to find Ilir str sures of a remedial character fo r th e agr i cu l tura l inte r , e by. one of which had already b een se l ecte d an d a dopted eii the Government. Many leadi ng country gen tleme° " o both sides of the House—men well acquainted wi,t h : e bt provincial life and wants—have suggested that as o' re ies' the community at large have taken upon themselveetho cost of public prosecutions, they should eomplet e „„ e ti duty which they ought entirely to fulfil, and take 7 0 00 themselves also the expenditure of the gaols of the e; t he try, which are maintained for public purposes to",, t his public advantage.—(Hear, hear.) I cannot state av n i, 0 moment the exact amount of the relief which o„. 1 . 1 ",,„0 measure would afford to the agricultural interest—s"-boe lost the account of it; bet it is one moderate in its' be be ratter, and yet it is one that from its nature ifu el ",bet extremely appreciated by the farmers. There are u' e bt measures which the Government might have brodto forward of a much more important character, but 0 b ,. / . 5 0 might have been adopted and would have afforded Pi t o relief to the occupiers of the soil, while their al: of would not have interfered with any of the prineilo e i , e. our present commercial system, or any of the P h os ciples of our local administration; and I;i to now before me one ' o f th ose measures. llt oe call the attention of the House for a moment to t h e o r penditure in this coun t ry on t h e poor. The to tal penditure on the p oor i n E ng l and and Wales, ote" le ts the county rate, amounts, according to the last 0 0 1 00 1, return, to about 6,200,0001. a year. Less than s,oo°'A 'be of that sum is expended on the in -maintenance ae" tr y; out-door relief of the p auper population of the eou li e t he while on other charges connected with the relief o t ,' og . poor no less a turn than 1,300,0001. i s expended 113'1,0 land and Wales. N ow o b serve that the items v,"00 form chat very con s id era bl e amount are items which etli little, if at all, affect e d by t h e agency of your 100%10' ministration. They cons i s t mainly of your este," ln ets went charges—of the fi xe d sa l ar i es of the 13,00 0 ow e s connected with the administration of the poor -la 101 (Hear, hear)—all o f w h ose o ffi ces have been itri eli , ill and devised in consequence o f your recent changelod the poor-law system.—(Hear.) Then, again, in W o o we find a similar e x p ense o f a b out 370,000 / . per 02,00 You have the re f ore a lt oget h er i n the United iCingu'o sum of 1,700,000/., which is fastened on real propeitd which presses grievously on the land, which in Ir e e iolf presses entirely and especially on the land, and o ; i is is scarcely affected in any degree by that local °",,, 0 0 nistration and that local government with sville h ; ,'"oe' all agree that it would be most impolitic and ',;eet pedient to interfere. Now, the surplus of this JGO: amounting to 2,000,000/ e would have permitted the 0 vernment to have d ea l t w i t h this great sums e p ic' is is my belief; that if h er M a j esty ' s Ministers bad' ili , et e• _ pounded a well-devised measure for that obJ e ""rtb o after that important recognition from the Throne e ", s et continued distress and difficulties of a most ilne: a . sh class of her Majesty's subjects, they had introduce ° , - r ed a measure they would have done more than mere L ee, lieve a suffering interest from a great incuut h " - iest They would have laid the foundation of that wise' n old temperate, and that remedial legislation which have adapted the cultivators of the soil in the jai Kingdom to the novel circumstances and the ne W i . - 01, dition in which your unexpected, and, perhaps. ' e „,,eld, say, your hasty legislation has placed them. You "-,, ot, have commenced a course of legislation the tended% of which would have been to put an end to that It sli classes, and that fatal con t roversy that is raging btteeltl the rival industri es o f this country .—( Hear .) you ' v- (1 41 have laid the foundation of a great system of ret e eo legislation, which would have done much to bring h- el good feeling to th e commun i ty; and you wont", ,70$5i# found all men of mo d erate m i nds and temperate chsr,;gb dons rallying ro un d you i n such 111:1 effort. And 01° 1 - 0 0 they could not have acknowledged that this Y"'eee o first step was equal to the occasion, they would t he recognised in it an earnest endeavour on the Port r)s-itir Government of thi s country to do justice to a 005bopt portant interest, whi c h a ll men now, althoug h per re' $ not openly, a c k now l e d ge h as b een dealt with with ' il It cipitation which is to be regretted.—(Bear, hear.) $ lO not my intenti on now to ma k e such a proposal °e House, or even to co nve y t o t h e H ouse that by the; si ros g 0 lution which I bring f orwar d I h ave any cover t O dd of of recommending it. I d o not hi ng o f the kind. •I s w 's it have been happy to have supported the Governceeeor they had brought forward such a proposal. Und er the dinary circumstances, after the announcement on 00 subject of agricultural distress in the Speech fre ° 2 o l 3 Throne at the commencem ent o f t h e sess i on , I i'yoot not, with such a surpl us i n t h e Treasury—l evoe'le-ioed have shrunk myself; if th e G overnment had no t ...- or to undertake the task, from offering to the House sl3 b 0 portnnity of accepting the commencement of s e i s l o happy system of legislati on . B ut circumstances at iir since occurred which, i n my op i n i on, render it Ot e 'a l 0 expedient fur me to propose to you to support s A iese, measure. More than two mon th s h ave now elapsed '',,t 0 1 the meeting of Pa r li ament . Th e financial statete . „%elt , the Chancellor of th e E xc h equer was made eight ",-00' ago. It held out t o an i mport a nt class in the irods munity the expect a ti on o f considerable relief fieso a tax of a very unp o p u l ar c h aracter. Circunlotsid have permitted the i n t ent i ons of the Ministry to nifo for a considerable time before the community a ill Ministry themselves having again been reinstat e n .dlot power, have come forward and again proposed a S L Pt 0 scheme with regard to that important class, or rath-oto, scheme still more calculated to attract popular fe; D ot The expectations of the community, therefore, hav e it only dwelt upon that plan, but they have dwelt tiP e te 0 as a probable event, and have been accustomed of l o re' consider it as a gain entirely realized. I think, ‘ t 0 01 fore, it would be most inexpedient to interfere wit"for arrangement which Ministers have proposed with re not enee to the repeal of the window -tax. But that "„b 0 the 'main reason that prevents me from offering , 911- ,. 0 0' proposal as that to which I have referred as an tu te e . o o° tive for a repeal of the window-tax. I should act ,13- 4 01, sistently with all that I have said in this House , ,'", t ll what is much more important, I should act inconsisteßteg with my profound and sincere convictions, if I took o e t , which would do exactly that which I am always atteVar i p ing to avoid and always attempting to deprecate—natd e be place a question before the House which would .01 essentially and entirely a question between town 1 ) le country.—(Hear, hear.) Tne object of those hull o s efforts which I make with respect to our taxation fi el been, if possible, to terminate that cont roversy, to 0° he , those feelings, to put an end to that strife and rivalry ; 6 , tween the great interests of the country ; b eca use .k or y lieve that it has already been productive 1 great hii 0 to the comMunity, and becaus e I s i neer y bel i eve i° or rife with very perilous consequ ences, if ontinue d t 0 O• national inatitutions.—(Llear, hear.) "otally . irresr ot e tive, therefore, of any considerations, I fiever would l3o' sent to briag forward a proposition which would he m p the relief of any one class and the injury of ' or - be I would never attempt to obtain that justice fo r „ t bi landed interest, which I am - meet anxious to obt°''',,el, a su n c d h means and in such a method.

It is certainly rar e - 0 0 rious that we, who are always twitted with bel L eo, l ea champions of a particular class, should be told to' i i, its are perpetually fighting the battles of other interests every attempt that we make for the remission ( I f : t bet tion.—(Hear, hear.) But let me show the Nol s " din the remission of taxation which would be involve id be taking off these 1 ,700,000/. from the land would very considerable; and that the statement that " De la a change in the system of raisin this amount W-- 0 g fader afford no relief ._ to the agricultural interest faLacy which the farmer who is suffering 13 00 d. the burden of th e poor -rate never can comPre"-ese Observe his position.
