were gee es monomaniacs. Now a very considerable

larger Mewed m ens of so extravagant a character. After
the meneme elf 1819 had pealed, they were told that the

wen dimmed that it was less settled than ever. They, the
annum reformers, had been laughed to scorn, and Sir
nelpet Peel was set up as the god of public idolatry,
bet that worship had been changed to something of a eery
dlibeeet character. By his bill of 1844. which had been
mid the complement to the bill of 1819, England would be
Nellleed to a state of misery such as had never before been
iseents. Mr. Salt next reviewed the operation of the bill of
the stringent effects of which (he said) Lord Castle

went on to eenthat the arguments that panics were produced
by gluts d geeds in the market, remarking that the re-
called eat lied seem existed under the enactment of 1793

sumption of seal pigments all aorta of arguments had been
