THE speech delivered by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in
the debate on the third reading of the bill for the re-
peal of the existing navigation acts, will have been
reed throughout the empire with feelings of no ordi-
nary interest. As the deliberate judgment upon final
bearing of one of the most highlyinformed and
dsaeat intelligences that has ever occupied a seat in
legislative equity,, the industrious million', who are
praintiffs in this important suit, will hear its lucid
and masterly summing up of the evidence
and argument on both sides with earnest
solicitude, and its grave but unqualified tone of
authoritative decision on the merits of the case, with
rare satisfaction. It is the closing and conclusive
tribute of experience to the truth of the policy
contended for by the friends of industrial freedom.
Its accents are neither those of concession or com-
promise, bat of thorough convictioe and hearty en-
eounement to go forward in the path of unpro-
tected enterprise, nothing fearing, nothing doubting.
In this light the eloquent and able speech in gees
Lion would, under any eireumstanoes, have told with
no oommon power upon the thoughtful mind of the
country. It would have contributed to 'Kieft addi-
tional confidence to all in whom any misgiving still
lingered as to the ireemeibildy of free trade as
adopted and engrafted upon the national policy by
the enocemive acts of the legislature from 1842 to
1846. And such confidence—the firm and abiding
ammance that the controversy is practically termi-
nated, and that at home and abroad men may in fu-
ture act upon the resolution taken by the people and
parliament of the empire that capital and
shall henceforth be free—this confidence
was, in reality, all that was hitherto wanting to the
full and fair trial in practice of what Sir ROBERT
PEEL, with his charsoteruitio caution, thought fit to
call " the great experiment of a liberal commis:ail
system." Capital is a nervous and capricious orestare.
It shrugs its shoulders at the phrase u experiment."
The experiment may be very praiseworthy, =AI,
patriotic, and all that; but Capital will at best only
touch it with the tips of its suspicious fin=
long as it wears the garb or talks in the
of experiment, Capital will never give its
hand freely or frankly to the problematical wooer of
its favour; and as for a hearty embrace, coy Capital
shrinks from it inetbietively. But let the new prin-
ciple be ones admitted into the ranks of acknowledged
and governing maxims of the state, and the reserve of
Capital will-soon begin to thaw; its former qualms
are speedily forgotten : it has no objection to make
a journey with its new acquaintance, jut to see how
their tempers and objects may agree; and at last
fiiidim that them is after all nothing dangerous nor
deoeve in its practical ways of working, mistrust.
fal Otal consents freely to join hands and share
fortunes with its reotntly-acquired aoquintemem •
It is nbt, however, for the Mrvioe rendered by
