After remarks in the same spirit from Mr. Wodeboses
and Mr. P. Bennett, and after reiterations from Mr. J.
eeCesnali,of statements already made on the Italian question
Mr. A. HENRY said that snare doubt had been expressed
as to the present condition of the manufactering iateribt ;
and he corthined is. was much surprised at the want of in-
formation which had been exhibited by some bon. urethan
opposite. This wasa subject on which he was able to
speak with coafidenes ; for he war entrusted with manufac-
turing establishments in Leaceshire, Yorkshire, Leicester.
shire, Glasgow, and Bask, and was also a very ex-
foliates exporter of manufactured articles to all parts
of the world. (Hear, hem) He could assure honour-
able gentlearen—end be was certain the house would hear
it with greet satishotica—that the manlike:daring interest
was now in a state of onsiderab's prosperity.
Mr. HUME said he was anxious to state his views of
what the government ought to have done, consistently with
the feelings, and wishes, and wants, of the country. The
km. member for Doreetailtire asked the government to do
gemething for the agricultural interest ; let him state what
they were to do, or what they could do. What could they
do for the comet fanners, except to lessen the bard= of
general and local taxation, by reducing the expediters of
the eonntry to the lowest rate at which the governmentcould
be serried on ? Owing to the artificial state in which agri-
culture bad been long kept, most unfortunately for the coun-
try, fakeers were now exposed to • savers competition from
all parts of the world ; and they would be entitled to pretee-
ns. if it was afforded to any one branch of manufactures.
Still he was convince I that a free trade in corn was the her
for all classes. He rejoiced to hear of the improvement in
the manufacturing aid tommercial world, and perfectly
omisurred in the paragraph older address, which expressed the
gratification of the housson that subject But he could not ad.
mit that that expressed all which the government ought to do.
The royal speech ought to be • plain statement of what
ministers meant to do during the session. Such was the ease
now in Belgium, in Francis, and to an extraordinary degree
in the Mated States. Let government state what the
country wanted, and what they meant to do, and not gloss
over important questions. Home matters were too much
pawed over ; the first five paragraphs were devoted to foreign
poliey, sod the debate on the address had almost wholly
turned on that point. The noble lord at the head of the
fora i n department bad made& clever speech for the pur-
pose; but if it meant anything, it was that the English
people were called on to act as the police officers of the
world. With these views he meant to pike on record what
he thought ought to have formed part of the speech. Last
session there were between 2 and 21 millions of petitioners
for parliamentary reform, and • large number for reduction
of the excessive bunks of our unequal taxation. Was
it not, then, meat extraordinary that no notice had
been taken in the speech of the popular demand for these
objects ? As to Ireland, in its present state, he did not ob.
Joe% to the continuance of the extrdordinary powers that had
beth granted to the government ; still the Irish m.mben
ought to be listened to ; and these p ought cot to exist
• moment longer than necessary. What, OW the other hand,
had rendered England unquiet but the demand for reform
and reduction in taxation ? The speech -poke of a reduction
of some of the estimates; but not a word did it say of
the redaction of the general taxation. A revision of our
whole fiscal system was loudly called for, and something of
the: kind ,had been promised when the income tax was re-
imposed ; bat not • word was heard or it now. In Canada,
where responsible government was at length established,
Lord Elgin was calling the attention of the repreecaratives
to the reduction of taxation, because it was loudly
cared for by the inhabitants. If any such relief was con-
templated at home, why was it not announced in the speech ?
The time was now come when the government must be
carried on with the moment of the people, or it was impossible
it could be carried oa at aIL The onneinn from the speech of
all allusion to the state of our colonies was most signifi-
cant. Allusion had been made to the reb dli in in the Bast
lodise, but none to the rebellions at the Caps and in
Ceylon, whereby a far greater number of lives had been
sacrificed. To the tenth Qpaarraaggmph of the address, which
deplored the existing disaff etton of Irel and, and alluded to
the continuance of the extra'adituary powers, he should

The adders was then read by the clerk at the table. On
bin arriving at the tenth paragraph,
Mr. RIME moved the fret of the above amendments.
Kr. G. JUNKIE mid le would cheerfully second this

anteadneent.
The amendment was then put, and negatived without a
division.
On the 11th paragraph being put.
Mr. HUME moved the venni amendment.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD entirely approved of this amend-
ment, but could not see the me of it without it was pressed
to a dirties. It was too good to be thus disposed cs 4 and
he hoped the bon. member would divide the lease.
Mr. HUME midis had already pledged himself that he
would not press his amendment to a division • but it was
