Mr. HUMS asked Lord Palmerston ,if it was his intention to renew the debate on the Ashburton treaty. Lord PALMERSTON said he was satisiied with the result of of the discussion, for after the declaration of Sir R. Peel it was impossible for him to have divided the house. Mr. ti UM E then gave notice that, on the 31st of this month, he would bring forward a motion for the approval of the Ashburton treaty, and thanking the Government and Lord Ashburton for having accomplished it. Lord PALMERSTO took that opportunity of correcting a mistake into which he had fallen, in stating that Lord Ash burton was not only a British subject but an American citi- ,n also. In reply to a question from Mr. EWART, Mr. GLADSTONE said that corn introduced into Canada from any country in Europe or elsewhere could not, even after paying the 3s duty, be shipped as Canadian corn to England. The rule was that any article manufactured in any country was received into this country as the produce of that in which it was manufactured. If, therefore, the Canadians manufactured flour from foreign corn, such flour must be re ceived as Canadian, the rule as to the raw produce having no reference to the manufactured article. Mr. HOGG presented the report of the Nottingham elec tion committee, which declared that Mr. Walter, through his agents, had been guilty of bribery, but it was not proved that he had been cognisant of it. The evidence was ordered to be printed. A discussion then arose as to the issue of a new writ for the borough, to which Lord' LINCOLN objected, and moved that it should be postponed for a week. On a division the motion of Lord Lincoln was carried by a majority of 91 to 69, and the issue of the writ is accordingly postponed. Mr..WILLIAMS moved for an account of the public ropney expended on each of the royal palaces, gardens, and parks, and the appurtenances thereof, stating the amount of the ex penditure from parliamentary grants, crown revenues surren dered to the public by civil list acts, and other sources ;" and • also the amount of the salaries and othe r e moluments received by the 'rangers abd deputy-rankers in each year front 1811 to red by Messrs 1 842 inclusiv 1 Lord LINCOLN'S only 'objection to such a return was the great' labobr and expense which it would occasion. If the hon. member wished merely to know the principle on which this branch of outlay was regulated, he might obtain his ob ject by conning the motion to a shorter period.; and if he sought only to - know any particular facts, that information should be given to him whenever he would apply for it at the office of Woods and FOrests. He would suggest that the hoe. member should limit the' return to the laSt ten years. It was true-that some of-the palaces were not kept up for the use of the Sovereign, for they were in fact kept up .chiefly for the. benefit and amusement of the public, as in the instance of Hampton -court. As to the supp ose d object of favouring in dividuals who have political interest, Mr. Williams was greatly mistaken. No one had been recommended to her Majesty by the present government on that - score ; and he thought the house would hardly censure the application of this patronage when lie stated that the two last nominated occupiers of royal apartments were the Marchioness Wel lesley and the sister of the late Under-Secretary Drum mond, Mr. Huse denied that the return asked for would he at tended with the difficulty supposed by the noble lord. More palaces were kept up than were at all necessary. The old rule was a good one, which was, that every repair or alteration in any of the royal apartments occupied by way of favour should be at the expense of the occupier asking for it ; and that every such occupier should, on quitting, make good whatever, he had caused to be altered. He would advise Mr. Williams to aceeptahe return as offered by Lord Lincoln. Sir R. PEEL said, that Lord Lincoln'a offer showed the total absence of desire on the part of government to conceal ' • The official establishments were not now sufficient than the conduct nf the o r aip ar y business; and if extensive returns like these were thus - frequently called for, there would arise a necessity for such an increase in those establishments as would be extremely unacceptable to the friends of economy; moreover, the total of an account taken for 30 years would always look invidiously large ; even the expenditure of any private nobleman, on the aggragate of 50 years, would appear enormous. Let it not be supposed that all these palaces and parks were kept up for the Sovereign alone; a great part of this expense was- incurred solely for the health and recreation of-the public. It was better, for the preservation of the palaces themselves, that they 8414 be inhabited, than deserted; and few gentlemen, 'he pre sumed, would like to see Hampton -court Palace. the noble pile of Cardinal Wolsey, sold by Mr. George Robins. He referred to the great expenses incurred in the late christen ing, in the visit of the King of Prussia 'and in the royal pro. gress to Scotland, all of which -had been defrayed from the Queen's privy purse, without- any application for aid from the public, except in respect of a small sum laid out on Windsor Castle when the Prince of Wales was christened; and reminded the House :that the Queen had submitted her own personal revepue to the operations of the ineopie s taiE, 1p consideration of the sifferings'Pf her people. Mr. CuniiEssPoke''a few words about the necessity of economical vigilance. Mr. F. BARING gave some explanations connected with the late erection of stables. • . Mr. WILLIAMS said his object had been to see what was the expenditure 'of George IV. on these works and buildings. He admitted the utility of the parks to the people of the tue s ruled that they, And not his constituents _ at to pay for that accommodation. The la- dies occupying apartments might be very deserving; but if so, they 'ought to he provided ,for by allowenees in money. He would accept the return as offered by Lord Lincoln, but had no time to visit the public offices for the purpose of in .quiring into particular facts. Lord LINCOLN was understood to say that the occupiers of apartments are regularly charged with the repairs of them. . Mr. BORTHWICK could not lose sight of the employment which these edifices had afforded to the labouring poor. The returns were then ordered in the -limited foriP sPS - by Lost!) Lpieorasr. Mr. moved 'fo`r - some papers respeiting the corns mercial and other relations between England and Naples, and suggested reduntion of wages, Sir R. PEEL could not, as a financial minister, consent to reductions of duty with quite so much readiness as Mr. Hume evinced in proposing them. He was willing to present some of the papers moved for, but others he felt himself bound to withhold, apprehending that international animosities, now tranquilized, might be revived by the production of them. Some, bnt not all, of the papers were then voted. Mr. SMITH O'BarEsr came next. His motion was . for a select committee to inquire into the execution and operation of the poor law in Ireland. Be compl a i ne d o f th e con d uct of the Commissioners. For instance, where the gnardian a of an union bad ordered a meat dinne r s for the paupers on Christmas-day; the commissioners had rebuked them, alleging the necessity of protecting the rate-payers. There might have been exaggerations ; but all he now asked was the means of ascertaining whether the allegations made were exaggera tions or not. He earnestly advocated the principles of out door relief. When he had been speaking for a great length of time, it was observed that 40 members were not present. The gallery was cleared, but before the houSe could be cleared three or four members came in and made up the complement. Mr O'Brien then, ;iftpr tmjnfilgarlPt 4po§trOphe to - those who had attempted to arrest his progress, resumed his course o f argument, the bearing of which; from the indistinctness - of his delivery, it was difficult to collect. Ile did not mean, by moving for a committee, to exonerate the government from their proper responsibility of bringing in a bill upon this sub ject ; for the condition of the Irish poor was most deplorable. Lord ELIOT said that the Government had received very general testimony from most influential parties' as to the fact that the law was working well in Ireland. The dissatisfaction he believed arose from defects in the law, which it was his intention to introduce a bill to remedy, until whets he thought it better to postpone any general discussion op the subject. The workhouses in - Ireland contained 4,000 people, and he believed they were much conducive to habits of order and subordination. The committee of inquiry could, he thought, lead to no beneficial result, and he therefore opposed the motion. Sir D. NORREYS maintained that the workhouse system tended to deteriorate the character of . the peasantry of Ire land by encouraging habits of reeklessness and idleness. The man who once became accustomed to the luxuries of the workhouse, could hardly be expected to return willingly to a wretched hovel and, miserable fare. "- Mr: SnAw thought the existing law h4d pot an yet bad a fair trial. If ofit s door relieterc teifbe - ailoWed in it country like Ireland, where the mass of the population were sunk in extreme Poverty; it would be in effect a confiscation of the landed property of that country. 'Mr. S. CIUiNVFORD Supported the Motion. Mr. Escort deprecated the idea of taking the subject out of the hands - of the Government.' lie looked upon the great evil in Ireland to - be the same as - it was in England, the erec . - flog of union workhouses. - Sir BARRON supported the existing law, which, he contended, had not- yet had a fair trial ; but which would pro'ie erninently beneficial if supported properly by the gentry of Ireland.' Lord H Wa3 of op:nion that inquiry Was After same observations from Mr. FA - I.:Ncit, Mr. Gnecony suggested to Mr. O'Brien that under the circumstances it would be advisable to withdraw the motion. Sir It. Fenotisox contended for the necesity of investi gation. Lord BARNARD opposed the motion of the hon. member for the county of Limerick, while he contended that there were many defects in the existing law which required a re medy. 'Sir J. GRAHAM said that government had matured a bill on this 'subject, which would be laid upon the table before Easter in order thgt it might bp considered during the recess. In that bill moat of the matters ivferred to by Air. O'Brien would be found to be 'dealt with, but 'at the same time the power of the commissioners would' be maintained, as would also the principle of confining the relief to the workhouses. If the question of out-door relief were to he considered at all, it should be considered by the house itself, and not by a com mittee If was a qUetiiiii the - utmost importance, inas much as out-door relief in Ireland might amount•to the con fiscation of the landed property of that portion of the United Kingdom. • Mr. Ross said as it was the intention of the government to bring in a bill upon the subject, he would not e as he had intended to do, support the' motion of 114 bqn. friend (Mr. O'Brien). - - • Mr. S. 0 , BRIEN replied, and the houFe divided, , A ben his motion %vas defeat6l byamajprity of 108 to 23.

The right lion. baronet then moved the second reading. oild not move tl Mr. Ecir;kier said th'at the dissenters generally were dis satisfied with the education clauses of the bill, even from the Wesleyans to the Unitarians. He thought that the theolo t to be established by the bill was bused sj stem roc r• itted the liberal spirit which injusticeon T he Earl o t o f w A a r n d s o N d p i s u s n a t e d r a s , characterised the measure proposed by Government, though there were clauses which, if not altered, would be disadvan tageous to the Roman Catholics. Mr. G. KNIGHT said that a section of the Established Church was as muoh opposed to the educational clauses as all thoughtpatne parties, and dile h o Governmentped the adopted t w h e e r were tgoldenhe dissenters. mean b ewe il en e prin ciples on which the bill was founded would be extended to the rural population of the country. Mr. HAwas said that in his opinion the more known the educational clauses became the more decidedly would they be opposed by the dissenting portion of the community. On the part of the dissenters he protested against a scheme which vested in the Church of England power over a national fund for the exclusive purpose of education, the effect of which, he contended, must be to sharpen existing religious animosities. Sir J. GRAHAM had entertained a hope that the second reading would have passed without any discussion on the de tails of the measure, and he regretted much the tone of the remarks of Mr. Hawes. Lord Arundel had done more jus tice to the government plan , and he believed the fears of the noble lord on the part o f the Roman Ca t holics , as well as those of the dissenters, might be ielieved by the reflection that the schoolmaster was not intended to be a commentator on the Scriptures, but merely a communicator of ideas. The object in.view was certainly to promote the religious instruc tion of the young, and to rescue them from the practical in fidelity were at present plunged. It was im possiblewithout the assistance of the church ; and looking at the riots in to which carry any extensive system of education into e ffect of last autumn, which were chiefly carried on by youths be tween eighteen and twenty-two years of age, be felt confident that if such a project as the one before the house had been carried out ten years ago, those scenes would never have taken place. Ile was prepared to give all due weight to every objection urged , by the dissenters, and he hoped, therefore, the houSe would not hazard the success of the bill by allow ing egar f s e e el o in t. hegtsofd Sir G. Gran - di I not entertain a doubt that the bill had been brought forward by the government in an honest spirit towards all classes, and if they had failed in giving satisfac tion it was owing to the defectiveness of the details of the measure. As one instance of this, be referred to the fact jealousy isciis discussion. or anger, to exhibit th emse l ves i n th e. that the bill in its present shape excluded all schoolmasters who were not members of the established church. The clause relating to the selection of books was also susceptible of improvement, by giving a controlling power to the Privy Council, or by some other means.. ~ Sir R. Istous contended that the church of England had the constitutional right of watching over and superintending the instruction of the people, and his chief objection to the bili was that it did not sufficiently recognise this right. He could not see any reason for alarm on the part of the dissen ters respecting the management of the schools, for the trus tees of each union need not, necessarily be members of the Established church. lie hoped that the house would make no material alteration in this bill in deference to the threats or taunts of the dissenters, whosezeal must he much less than . it was represented to he, or whose numbers must be consi derably sMallei, for lie foisod that the entire number who had availed themselves of the right of being married otherwise than by the rites of the church of England was only 8,248. Mr. HUME said that government should not suffer itself to be overawed by the church, for the pecuniary benefit of which it appeared as if the people of England were born, married, and buried. He did not think the people of this country would submit to the thraldom imposed upon them by this bill. Every person in the country had, he contended, a right to education, as well as food for the body, without any reference to. religious distinctions. The cost of such education to the nation would be more than counterbalanced by the decrease of immorality and crime. Mr. Aosasfo said that the success of a measure like this must depend upon its being cordially supported by all par ties. He had no doubt but it would be honestly and zea lously carried out by the clergy of the established church; and he deprecated raising any questions which might give occasion to feelings of dissatisfaction. towards a bill, the general principles of which he agreed in, and which he hoped to see generally supported. Mr. F. BARING said that in the trustees of each union there should be a representation of the ratepayers, who ought to have some share of control over the expenditure of the money which was drawn from their own pockets. It was of great importance certainly in a large scheme such as this for the government to carry with them the good wishes of the Established Church, but it was also of vast importance that it should be carried out also with-the f avoura bl e w i shes of the ministers of the dissenting population throughout the country. After some obse?vations from Mr. HARDY, applied f only i i t n s .. effects mtoa kai kg would andan d cottono be t to her Mr. M.

The lion. member also stated other objections to the bill, to which he entreated the attention of the government. Mr. M. SUTTON did not think that the effect would be to drive the children from the cotton mills to other employ ments; on the contrary, lie thought the bill would hold out a premium to parents to take their children from other ems ployments in order that they might have the advantage of the schools. Mr. CossrpEts was of opinion that, uncles all the circums stances, the pro pled meaapre Was the most practicable that coold be adopted. • -- Lord 'AsttLEY said that his not having called the attention of the house to the condition of the agricultural population, was not because he did nos think it required improvement as regarded education, but because he had pecolis,rly directed his attention to those places where there were vast masses of people plunged •.in the lowest state of vice and ignorance. • He hoped that this bill would be discussed throughout with out crinsinatiOn or recrimination, and he still further hoped that the house would avail itself of the present most blessed opportunity of removing' a blot upon our character as a civilised nation. They must expect to call down the Divine, vengeance upon their heads if they .neglected to remove'this abomination from the land. Mr. COBDEN was of opinion that the difficulties of laying down a general plan of education were considerably increased by giving"a dominant power to the Church. ofltgl«ntl. contended that there was more vice ; io4delity, and im morality of every descriPtiOtti In the parish in whi c h th a t house sat, than las tti '4 l e f9ttntlin Manchester. This should be known injustice to the dissenters, for Manchester should not be singled out as a specimen of immorality when the very spot in which they were assembled, in which the Dean and Chapter of Westminster exercised their functions, and to whom belonged a great proportion of the property of the parish, was in a state than which nothing could be conceived worse. By this bill it appeared they were providing for the education of children in employment; but they were pro viding no education for the thousands of children who had no employment; and yet they Professed to call this a system of national education. What was the objection to g;ving some instruction to those children who, haviog nothing t o do, were idli n g about the streets . 'The church did not run after those children, 1) . 1 4 the moment an attempt was made to give the some e ducation at the expense o f th e na ti on, at once the church throws difficulties' in the way by making claims which ought not to be conceded. He would not ob ject to the second reading of the bill, because it would give some additional education, and discarded for the first time the use of the catechism ; but in the committee he would do all •be could to have those clauses , altered which were so execrable that. they must interfere with its Iscoefiicial opera tion. • • Mr. DARBY did not t 14 1 11; a secular education any guaran tee for moral conduct. • After a few remarks from Mr. HOPE, Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the good temper with which the bill was discussed in that house would not be without its beneficial effect upon the public. The noble lord threw out a variety of ,suggestions for the consideration of the government, amongst which was one for the establish ment of a normal school for which he was sure. the house would readily grant an additional vote. After a few words from Mr. Ross, The bill was read a second time, and the committee was appointed for Friday next. • A discussion then took place upon the third reading of the Dogs Diu, which was at length .carried by a majority of 6G to 43. Another division took place on a motion for the omission of the second clause, which was carried by a majority of 57 to 30; and a third on the question that the bill do pass, which was agreed to by 50 to 31. EMIGRATION.—TabIes, showing the amount of emigration from the United Kingdom, in 1842 4 have just reached us. They give the number of - emigrants who have embarked from each of fir thrcp kingdoms, which i s a s foll ows : —F rom England 14,x03; from Scotland, 13,108; from Ireland, 4&;553: total, 128,344. The parts of the world to:which they went'were the following :—To the United States, 63,852 Texas, Central America, and Buenos Ay res , 363 • Canada, 4L375 ; New Brunswick, ' Nova Scoti a , P r i nce Edward's &c. 12,748 ; West Indies, 813 ; the Cape, 517 ;'West ern Africa, Mauritius,. and Falkland Isles, 72; Sydney, 1,450 ; Port Philip, 864 ; Van Diemaa's Land, 2448 ; South Australia, 145 ; Western Australia, 563 ; Zealand, 3064: total, 128,314. Four-fifths of the. Irish emigrants went,to the British North. America!; colonies the largest proportion of the Scotch. Nyent caeada and Nova Scotia ; and five-seventh s - of the Unglish to, the United States. • Of the emigrants, 1058 were assisted from the poor-rates ' 2341 from funds supplied by the Commissioners of Colonial Lands and Emigration; and 982 from Bounties paid in New South Wales and Van Die Man's Laud.— In 1841 the n um b er o f emigrants was ;—From England,' 72,104; from Scotland. 14,060; from Ireland, 32,428: total, 118,592.. The number of emi g rants in 1842. was greater than in 1841 by 10 , 000, and exceedsr in a much higher proportion that for any previous year, Its extent is, indeed, unparalleled and astounding, amounting to no less than 400 souls per diem, excluding Sun days. Its direction, also, has undergone a material change. In 1841 theemigrants to Australia and New Zealand amounted to 32,500,; in 1842 only to 8500. The removal of so great a numbes of persons, most of tbern belonging to the working classes, must-have had a considerable effect in lightening th e pressure on the market for labour; but the return does not enable us to state what proportion, the women and children bore to the men.—Scotsman. , 11 h t e A re t.T t it o. , day.

The room had certainly the appearance of being generally filled ; and the assertion of the Mail, • that there was.a comparatively slender attendance, had re ference, we presume, to former occasions when the assem bly was crowded to excess. We are next accused of stating that a song was sung by Mr. Lewis, while that gentleman did not sing at all during the evening. On this point we may have fallen into a mistake. The song in question was announced in the hill as to be sung by Mr. Lewis, and as we did not know that individual personally, we naturally concluded .that it was he—a mighty venal offence truly ! The Mercury's correspondent also " complains " (poor fellow!) that some of the pieces which were actually en . cored were not noticed by the critics at all. Perhaps so ; but as we do not always consider an encore a proof of ex cellence, it is arrant impertinence to expect us, within the narrow limits ofa paragraph, to notice every such expression of popular approbation. Does the Mercury never omit, in his brief and bald notices of concerts, a single encore? Bah! He did not even condescend to attend or to notice this concert at all ; yet he assumes to be perfectly compe tent to criticise the remarks made upon it by others ! We differed from the Mail. too, it appears, as to the song of " Sandy and . Jenny." Our •` critic " considered it " prettily sung 1" the Mail (shocking discrepancy'!) re marks, without reference to the music. that " the singer's attempt to imitate the Scottish dialeel would have been far from gratifying to soutluirn eats," For ourselves, we never expect from an Bnglish singer either the perfection of the Scottish, dialect, or the peculiar expression and character of the Scottish music, which no score can convey. The song, nevertheless, was prettily sung, and the Mercury will perhaps allow us to go " Scot free" in this particular. when we remind biro that we did say that it was " warmly encored," The opinion we expressed of the clarionot oh ligato, was also entertained by parties in the room. %trite As competent to judge as the correspondent of the -X:10-vurY• Our paragraph in fine was written in a friendly spirit, for the encouragement of a talented and deservi% young lady ; and we marvel that the Mercury, who Kofesses to be the friend of rising genius, should, in his attack upon his con temporaries, display an animus calculated to injure her and her musical friends in their futurcapneals for public patro nage, and which is as little. creditable to his " discrimina_ . tion" as to his gallantry. lint he is a " liberal," and what have we to expect Hewould do well to remember,however, that thoso wh,o live in glass houses should not throw stones. We ponld paint out in any one of his publications numerous ,ealsrepresentations of facts, and his eternal puffing of laina ! self and thoie connected with him would be intolerable, were it not so palpably ridiculous that all feeling of in dignation at such assumption is tntrged in ioesistibie laughter. It is remarkable, too, that though he would fain persuade the public that "no reliance- is to, be placed upon us for discrimination, faithfulness, or impartiality," he daily appropriates portions of origina,t articles, and milsole paragraphs, from our columns, with, such apparent implicit reliance on their accuracy, that he deems it quito.uwaeees.- sary to acknowledge the source from which they are derived. We think this, has. unplatted the. Mercury's tissue of misrema4ntittions. tie Ettirrpoot gptantarb. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 1843. Our contemporary, the Manchester Gtardian, af fects, on \Vednesday last, to have discovered--and the same discovery was announced, on the same evening, at a meeting of the League, at Drury Lane, by the chairman of that body—that tho objections urged against the existing corn-law are, by Conservative journalists, " more and more feebly repelled ;" thus, according to the Guardkie, " shewing the conscious ness of the writers that, even amongst their own friends, the sliding scale is becoming exceedingly un popular." -\s an evidence of this assumed defection of the Conservative press, our contemporary quotes largely from a recent article of the LIVERPOOL STAN DARD—and q uo t es somewhat Wairly, inasmuch as he leaves out of view the fact, that the article in question was not at all an article upon the broad subject of the corn-law; but merely professed to point out the defect of the speech of Lord Monteagle, as one calcu lated, or directed, to throw light upon the main ques tion at issue, as between a fixed duty and the existing sliding scale)—, from which he derives the conclusion that the STANDARD, taking its cue from, and ex pressing the opinions of, the merchants of Liverpool, is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the prin ciple and working of the present law. We have already disposed of the inference made, that we watch the opinion:; of any man, or any set of men, before ex pressing publicly our own sentiments with respect to public questions. If the press of this, or any other country, is to be of use—and to he of use it must be respected—that powerful organ should lead, not follow in the wake of public opinion, still less follow in the wake of particular bodies of the community. We, for our own part, throw behind us the notion of consti— tuting ourselves either "farmer's friends," or "friends of the mercantile interest," peculiarly, convinced as we are that no man is entitled to either term who is not the friend of both. Passing by, then, the Guar dian's misinterpretation of our position and feelings, let us come to the points at issue. In the article referred to, we admitted that, Tinder the operation of the act of last session, " vast losses had been sustained by the importers;" that the intro duction of foreign corn into the British market, last year, had been " very similar to its introattetion under the act of 1828—viz. a siinultaneousittroduction of nearly a year's importation in one month, and that the month of harvest." We maintained„ however, that " a fair and dispassionate enquiry into, tlle working of the act of 1842"—tvhia Lord Monleagles was not-- would establish tho following facts, palliatory of the admitted mai-operation of the present act; that the importer last year bought under the appre hension of a deficient harvest ;". secondly, that " he bought part of his stock amid uncertainly as to what would be the corn-law determined upon ;" thirdly, that " he bought under the impression that combina tion could still work up the averages ; " and fourthly,. that " in addition to these circumstances, and as a con sequence of sotne of them ; he bought in a dear market." The whole drift of our remarks tended to this—viz. that the existing law had not as vet received a fair trial —one by which its legitimate future operation could be determined upon. The Guardian's reply to these positions is as follows • " That parties who bought wheat for import did so under the apprehension of a deficient harvest, there can be no doubt; and there is just as little doubt that under a fixed or'a free trade,.the same aPprehension would also cause .purchases for the.sarne purpose, The amount of these latter purchases, mwever,—the manner in which► they would be made, and the cOniequenees resulting from a miscalculation of the produce of the harvest,—would he entirely different. Under the• exist' A ng law, or any law imposing a greatly flue tuating duty, the purchases of corn for import, whenever thM, is a prikability of considerable foreign supplies being needed, will almost of necessity be made, as they were made last year ;—that is to say, suddenly and hastily, when the apprehensions of a late and deficient harvest begin to be entertained. every importer is well aware that the best chance of meeting a low duty will be just before the harvest is reaped; and each, consequently, will rush into the nearer foreign markets, buying every parcel that is ready for imme diate shipment, and caring less about the prime cost than the prospect of avoiding the duty. No doubt the temptation to do this has been diminished, but it has not been removed, by the modification of the scale, introduced by Sir Robert Peel; and a 'slide' in the duty from 20s. per quarter to is. per quarter is quite sufficient, as the events of last year proved, to indrce the merchants to buy in the same manner as they have previously done." Our contemporary proceeds, in continuation, to re mark upon the course of business last year; and maintains that nothing but " the sudden and glorious change in the weather" prevented the importers intro ducing their stocks, as under the old law, at the lowest duty. There is a singular indecision, apparent in the mind of the writer of the above passage, as to how many of the imperfections of the act of 1823 lie will admit to be applicable to the act of last session. It is conceded, in the lines printed in italics, that, by the new law, " the temptation" to rush into the foreign market on every apprehension of a deficient harvest " has been dimi nished." It is admitted, too, at the outset, that "un der a fixed duty or a free trade, the same apprehension will also cause purchases for import,"—of course, to some extent, the same "rush" to purchase. But we must profess we cannot see how it follows, "ex ne cessitate" that the purchases, under the preSent must continue to be made,"as they were last year," or that the same results must'follow. We maintained, in the article to which the Guardian's remarks are put forward as a reply, that thin, stocks' of importers last year were laid in under peczi,),'iar circumstances, and this position the Guardian has riot denied. We stated, too , that importers had m i s t a k en tneir power over the ave rages. As an answer to thiS the Guardian only gives us his opinion that it was soh ly the early andabundant harvest which rendered that -power insufficient for the object—the introduction of stocks at a nominal duty. It is proof that we want, wpm these points, not mere speculative opinions or assertions—proof, how far the present scale combimes the mercantile facilities af forded, or said to be :afforded, by a fixed duty, with thei protective operation of a sliding scale; and for this proof, which can 0n1 , ,r be afforded by a fair experience of the working of thi present act, we wait. The Guardian, as we have 'shewn in the above quo tation, admits that ti le present law has " diminished the temptation" to op erate suddenly in foreign markets, with a view to the introduction of corn at nominal duties at the month of harvest. And yet, whilst ad mitting also that a : fi xe d d uty wou ld , to some extent, involve in practice ti le same simultaneous, and conse quently clisadvantl.ge aus, purchases, he proceeds to state that, "as the sa me circumstances"—an improvi dent rush into these markets, and the risk of subse quent glut and I.osse3 in the home market—" would have equally defe ated a speculation under the law of 1823, its .failure last year) will not deter parties from engaging in aim' Jar speculations hereafter." Here he assumes one of the - very things which have to be proved, and in „oreover contradicts his own admission. The cases of 12 Est year, and any other year under the operation of tl - le act of 1828, were not parallel. The same circumst antes which occurred last year would not have " defeated the speculations of our corn mer chants, if tho re spec !ulations had been made under the operation of the of d "jumping" scale. Every man familiar with, the :trade in past years knows that the minimum d'aty has. been attained under more disad vantageous circumstances (the provisions of the law itself excepted) than any which occurred last year; and we believe we an: correct in maintaining that, had the old law beery in operation last autumn, we should have had every Iguartcr of foreign corn in the country released at the day of ls.• a quarter ! Nor will "simi lar speculations*" to those of last year be readily en gaged in again hereafter, for the Guardian's own reason that ":the temptation is diminished" to run risks whiih the experience of last .year has proved to be so hazar dons; and because the trade has learnt, from that, orperience, that the effect of-the present scale-is to pattaiCe the efforcs of combination. Let us see how the act worked last year, as some test to judge 'by with respect to its operation hereafter. every one knows that, under the operation of the old law, with its sadden leaps downwards from 13s. 4d . to the shilling d u ty, th e efforts of speculators, once COM. menced, were.persisted in, and (we rather think) were invariably ,successful: The stocks were heremeticolly sealed in the w arehouses until the issue of the adventure. Last year, hou 'ever, under the new law,—and this will take place mo re generally hereafter—importers came, week after weel c , at every reduction of a shilling in the duty, to market: with their stocks. The pressing de mand for consul nption was met, sparingly as the duty approached 12s. r. more freely at I is.; more fully still at los. and 95., rintil at Bs. the market was supplied and the average commenced a retrograde movement, thus indicating that the most favourable moment for -paying duty had arrived. - The Guardian says it was the early and abruidant harvest which checked prices; and to some - extent, no doubt, such was the case. Such a circumsnce, as an unexpected good harvest, *ivill4erate upon speculations made even under a fixed duty. But the working of the act itself —the gradual oozing out of stocks, in sufficient quantity to meet im mediate demand, and sustain it, if necessary, until the event of the harvest wa s decided--was, we contend, the main obstacle interpO sed, to prevent the success of speculation being corn plete ; and the past experience of its tendency thus to :interpose will, we venture to say, retard, most effectuall) any rash and headlong specu lation in years to corm • We have confined ieurselves thus far to an examina tion of the operation of the present law, as compared with that of the law of 1828. This point must be cleared up first, before we can arrive at a correct judg ment with respect to its merits as compared with a fixed duty. It is obviously unfair to argue the ques tion as berseen a fixed duty and the old law; and, from suck premises, condemn the present law. It is unfair to assume, without proof, that the defects of the old law are the defects of the present; and deduce therefrot a th 6 conclusion that we must come to a fixed duty or free trade as the only safe and valuable prin . The question to be decided, now, is one as to the co. mparative advantages of the present law and of a fixed. duty ; and this question we shall he able to ap prow :It in our next, our remarks having already run to au "Inconvenient length. In the meantime, we trust we have disposed of some. of the objections of the Gut trdian—such of them, at least, as are created by the use made, by reckless s pe cu l ators, of the facilities af forded to their wild and hazardous operations to &feat the law, by the act of 1828; and presume that we may no w argue the matter without reference to any more "-rushes to purchase" or " clearing out of markets at any price" than are fairly traceable to the two measures 'which, alone, are under discussion. . . . . When we consider that the movement in our Church to which the names "tractarianistn " and "puseyite" are applied, has been the work of a body of " learned, pious, and exemplary men, residing in Oxford," and devoting themselves, in the seclusion of that university, to the task—whether judiciously or not, we have not now to decide-==-of strengthenin g the fabric and illus trating. the doctrines of our venerated establishment; when we consider th a t one of the assumed objects of that movement is to inf use mo r e zeal, more v i ta li ty of religion, into the practice of .her clergy, and a greater amount of sacred interest and rigid decorum into her practices and formul ar i es; it.
