Government has been to remove more than 7,600,0001. of
taxes, while the ordinary revenue of the last financial year
for which they were called upon to provide has considerably ,
exceeded the ordinary revenue (derived from the same
sources) °, the financial year that immediately preceded their
accession to office."
Sir R. Peel here details several articles upon which
duties were either repealed or abated, and premeds
thus:

With respect to the corn-laws, there were in force on the
Ist of January, 1842, rates of duty on the importation of
foreign corn, varying according to the average price in the
home market. When wheat was 62w a quarter, the duty
was 245. Bd. ; when 685., duty was 185.8 d. ; when 735., duty
was Is. . . . . .

Corresponding duties were levied, on the same principle,
on the import of other descriptions of grain. On barley, for
instance, and on Indian corn, when the price of Barley was
under 34a. the quarter, the duty on the import of a quarter
of barley, and also of a quarter of Indian corn, wu 12a. 4d. ;
when above 415., the duty was reduced to ls.
" These several duties wen reduced in the session of 1842.
In that of 1846 provision was made for their total repeal on
the lit Februry, 1849.
"Of the various proposals made by the late government
for the reduction of duties on articles of subsistence and
general consumption, that which contemplated the ultimate
repeal of the duties on foreign grain encountered the most
decided opposition.
" Let me recall te your recollection the circumstances
ander which that proposal was made.
" In the months of September and October, 1846, there
were indications in many parts of the United Kingdom of
that mysterious disorder which has affected to so serious an
extent the potato crop.
Sir R. Peel here quotes the evidence upon which
Government concluded that the potato crop had been
destroyed, and adds :
"It was no doubt possible that all these parties might be
in some degree mistaken; that events might subsequently
prove that they had magnified the extent of the evil; but
place yourselves in the position of those who were »spots.
table for the public safety, who received such reports at the
commencement of winter, without is hope of additional
supply from internal Noumea for the long period of nine
months, and you will not be disposed to pronounce • harsh
judgment on their motives for advising that increased facili-
ties should be given for the importation of food from other
countries. . . . . .

" Yon will bear in mind that the visitation was a very
peculiar one; 'that,' to use the words of the' lord-lieu-
tenant, we did not know and could not know the extent of
the evil ; ' that it was an evil not confined to these islands;
that many other countries in Europe were suffering from if
and that, in some of them, the restrictions on the import of
food bad been already suspended.
" I am bound to admit that if the advice given had been
limited to a suspension of similar restrictions In this country,
there probably would not have been a very serious difference
of opinion. Many who might have doubted whether the'
precaution was not superfluous, would probably have offered ,
no decided resistance to Its being taken.
" The point on which there was, and still is, the greatest
conflict of opinion was, the proposal to recotudder the whole
question of` the corn-laws, with a view to their ultimate
repeal.
When I proposed to the cabinet on the lot of November,
1845, the temporary suspension of all duties on foreign corn,
it became necessary for me at that time to decide whether
I could undertake to support, after the period of suspension
should have expired, the restoration of the pre-existing law.
Such an undertaking implied, of course, resistance, with the
whole weight and authority of the government, to any pro-
posal that might be made in parliament, by others, for the
modification of that law in its nrumple or in its leading
enactments.
.

" I found it impossible, consistently with my sense of pub-
lic duty, to give an assurance to that effect.
j "In ustifying my decision in this respect, I have no de-
sire to take any undue advantage of events which have since
occurred. That terrible-scourge which has since afflicted
Ireland, which has deminded an extraordinary advance of
10,000,0001. of money, for the purpose of averting from that
country the horrors of famine, must not be pleaded as a yin.
&motion of the course taken in January 1846.
" But, gentlemen, no prudent minister deciding on that
tonne at that time could safely exclude from his considera-
tion the probability that the same disorder which had
affected the potato crop of 1845 might affect that of 1846.
The experience of other countries in which the blight had
appeared tended to show that It was not limited to a single
season, and as an early proof that apprehensions on that
head were not without foundation, I quote the opinion of
Professor Lindley, tending to confirm the apprehension, that
from the same cause a second suspension of the corn-law
might beoome necessary.
' It appeared to me, that considering the nature of that
law—considering that it was passed wiJi the view of insur-
ing, through its own unassisted operation, an adequate sup-
ply of foreign corn in case of necessity—a single suspension
of it on the first occasion of sever, trial would be a powerful
argument against its permanent continuance, and that the
necessity for renewed suspensions (should it recur) would add
greatly to the weight of that argument
But, independently of this consideration, there were
other and more important reasons which influenced my
decision.
" My confidence in the validity of the reasons on which
I had myself heretofore relied for the maintenance of restric-
tions on the import of corn had been materially weakened.
It had been weakened by the conflict of argument on the
principle of restrictive policy—by many concurring proofs
that the wages of labour do not vary with the price of
cora—by the contrast presented in two successive periods of
dearth and abundance, in the health, morals, tranquillity,
and general prosperity of the whole community—by serious
doubts whether, in the present condition of this country,
cheapness and plenty are not insured for the future in a
higher degree b 7 the free intercourse in corn, than by re-
' evictions on its importation for the purpose of giving pro-
tection to domestic agriculture.
" It had been weakened also by the following considera-
tions, which were in a great degree new elements in forming
a judgment on this vital matter :
" The general repeal of prohibitory duties and the re-
cent application of the principles of free tri:de to almost
all articles of import from abroad, made the corn-laws the
object of more searching scrutiny and more Invidious com-
ment, and narrowed the ground on which their defence could
be maintained.
" Among the articles of foreign import prohibited up to
the year 1842, and then admitted at low rates of duty, were
some important articles of agricultural produce, salted and
fresh meat, oxen, sheep, cows, &c. You probably recollect
the panic which this admission caused—the forced sale
stock, the prophecies that it would be impossible to compete
with the foreign grazier, and that meat would be reduced to
3d. a pound. Five years have passed since this great e
in the law took place, and your own experience wilir=
you to judge whether the panic was well-founded, and
whether the prophecies have been fulfilled.
" The complete failure of those prophecies had, naturally,
had its effect on public opinion with regard te the probable
consequences of a freer intercourse in other articles of agri-
cultural produce.
" There was another circumstance still more calculated to
diminish apprehensions as to the risk of opening. the corn
market of this country to foreign competition. There has
appeared of late years a tendency to increase in the con-
sumption of articles of subsistence much more rapid than
1 the lacrosse in the population. It is difficult if not impos-
sible, on account of the absence of statistical information, to
measure accurately that increase in the case of articles of
first necessity, such as corn and meal. But it may be in-
ferred from the relative consumption, at different periods, of
articles in respect to which the comparison can be instituted.
"The fallowing is an account of some of the principal
articles entered for home consumption in the yearn 1841 and
1846 respectively :

table without being forcibly struck by the rapid increase in

Or---iid,

there be a doubt that if the consumption of articles of se-
Zrgnecessity has been thus advancing, the consump-
ertkies of first necessity, of meat end of bread for
instinct, hes been making at least an equally rapid pro-
grra ? •
Durkie the greater part of the period included in the

struggle for their maintenance would assume a new character,
and that no advantage to be gained by success could counter-
balance the consequences of failure, or even the evils attend-
's', protracted con tlict.
"My opinions in this respect may have been erroneous,
bat they were not formed without mature and painful deli-
beration, and I am wholly unconscious of any single motive
of self-interest, personal or political, which wag not calcu-
lated to bias my judgment in favour of an opposite conclu-
sion. If, from the confidence which the agricultural interest
bad reposed in the government, end the support they had
freely given to it, that interest had a special claim upon
me, I should bare ill-satisfied that claim by giving advice at
a very critical period, which might certainly have been more
acceptable—which might have protected myself from the
Imputation of being inconsistent and unfaithful--but which
la my heart and conscience I believed to be, as applicable
la that time and those circumstances, unsound and den-
gwous.
" Between the maintenance of the corn-laws inviolate and
• memare Involving their ultimate repeal, I saw ne middle
eel= satisfactory or advantageous to any interest. I
mw BM lees of satisfaction or advantage in indecision and
irrational delay; I could not admit the incompetency of the
present parliament to deal with this as with every ether
question of public concern; there appeared to me, upon the
whole, much less of public evil in the resolution finally to
adjust the question of the corn-laws than in any other that
could be then adopted; and that being my deliberate convie-
%ion, I felt it to be my duty to incur the painful sacrifices
which the acting upon that conviction must inevitably entail.
"There la no event that has since occurred (I speak of
events bearing directly upon the merits of the question at
issue) which does not confirm me in the belief that, even with
special reference to the agricultural interest, the Mane taken
was preferable to any other.
"So much, gentlemen, with regard to the past. In respect
to the future, it is my intention, if re-elected, to conform on
all matters connected with our financial and commercial con-
cerns to the general principles on which I have acted while
in Acting with the caution and circumspection which tend
to make reformation permanent by making it safe, and which
are indispensably requisite in all cases wherein the public
credit, or wherein extensive and complicated interests are
concerned, I shelties' disposed to support such measures as are
calculated to remove any remaining restrietioruion commerce,
to abate duties that are levied for the purposes of protectity
or that, by their amount, defeat the purposes of revenu—
e, apportion equitably the burden of taxation—and to Walt
the condition of those who labour for their subsistence.

" Such measures are not only perfectly compatible with,
but are mainly conducive to those great objects of constitu-
tional pelic:y, which it has been, from the commencement of
my public life, as it will be to its close, my unvarying pur-
pose to uphold.
" It is my firm persuasion that the centres sanctioned by
the present parliament, with reference to our financial and
sommeraial policy, has tended to fortify the established in-
stitutions of this country, to Inspire confidence in the equity
and benevolence of the legislature, to maintain the just au-
thority of an hereditary nobility, and to discourage the
desire for democratic change in the constitution of the
House of Commons.
. . . . .

" It hat aided the government in conducting the adminis-
tration of internal affairs, and in maintaining the public
tranquillity, even during • period of suffering from depres-
sion in trade, and a high price of food, much more through
the mild influence of general contentment, than through the
appliance of force, or the harsh coercion of the civil power.
And if the sad times of a yet severer trial should return,
that trial will not be borne with the lees fortitude and
patience when the privations that accompany it can be
ascribed solely to causes over which legislation has no control.
" I have thus, gentlemen, explained to you the course
which I have pursued, and that to which, if re-elected, I in-
tend to conform.
" In a few days, probably, the trust you have committed
to me will be replaced in your hands. If you disapprove of
that which I have done—if you think the commercial policy
erroneous or the motives for adopting it insufficient or un-
worthy, I cannot solicit or expect the renewal of your
confidence. Still less can I solicit or expect it, if you
think that that policy ought to be reversed—if you desire
to re-establish the principle of protection—to restore the
duties which have been repealed on cotton, on wool, on
meat, on flour, on the long list of imported articles, which
are either the materials for domestic manufactures, or enter
intoeral consumption as articles of food.
general
"It is my earnest hope that you will make your choice of
a representative exclusively upon public grounds—that you
will not permit the consideration of mere personal regard, or
of my long connexion with you, to influence that choice
against your deliberate judgment.
" If that deliberate judgment be in favour of the course
which I have pursued, and wkich I proposes to pursue, I shall
hope for a continuance of your confidence ; if it be not, our
intercourse in all the relations of private life will not assume
a less friendy character if, in the discharge of the trust com-
mitted to you, you should give effect to opinions upon public
matters at variance with those which I have expressed.

COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Hull-mast One.—The funds do not carry prices so
well this morning, which might have been antici-
pated, indeed, seeing that the rise yesterday was net
so much owing to a demand for stock for the purpose
of real investment, as to the accidental circumstance
of its being a " bear" account, and therefore stock
was wanted for delivery and making up
accounts. The fall is, however, sought to be explained
by the assumed unfavourable state of the Bank returns
for last week, which will be found analysed in the
last page of the Bspress. The falling off in coin and
bullion is particularly dwelt upon as the result of ex-
portation abroad. The unfavourable state of foreign
exchanges is doubtless likely to lead to exportation, but
in the present ease there can be little doubt that the
decrease of coin mainly arose from paw oat so
much in fractional_ part of dividends, ar Mist'

OIL.—JULY 16.—Cocoa-Nut: Scarcely any inquiry
exists for this article at late pricer, and as importers refused
to make any concession to-day at auction for 30 tens re-
packed Ceylon, only about three tone found buyers at 60..
Of 33 casks Sydney, only 6 casks were sold, at 475. 6d. per
cwt.; the remainder being taken in at the same figure.

TALLOW.—JULY 16.—The market remains in
the unto dull state as for some time put, and prices still
show a tendency to decline ; the hot weather has greatlyins.
peded the operations of chandlers, to which may be chiefly
attributed the protest position of the article. The nearest
value of P.Y.C. on the spot, is 48s. to 413 a. fid., SI in quantity
and quality. At auction to-day, 220 airs, first sort (chiefly
of very ordinary quality), won eD blue in at 484., being

CORN.—ExErme, JULY 16.—Though we have
had a small attendance of farmers at our Corn market to-
day, and fewer samples of Wheat offering than tbr some
weeks part, pales of fine quality were made at an advance
of Is. to 2a. per quarter over last week's prices. Barley and
Oats were in very small 'apply, and we note no alteration
in value.

Hurl, Jcir 18.—The trade generally has recovered from
the late depression, with buyers at advanced rates. Of,
Wheat very little is offering, and sales are made to the
millers at 41. to 6e. per qr. advance. Riga Oats real;se 15d.
to 161 d. per stone. Alexandrian Beans, 441. to 465. per qr.,
weighed 63 lbs. per bushel. In other articles there is nothing
new to report. The weather continues dry, hot, and forcing,
which is most favourable for the growing mops, and the re-
ports continue highly satisfactory. The only arrival of Lin-
seed this week is about 766 qrs. from St. Peters-
burg. A demand for immediate consumption hoe,
continued, and sundry sales have been effected:
There has been • good choice of fine qualities, and
such may be quoted ls. per qr. lower ' but of middling and
inferior there is none in the market. The value of Odessa
is 60s. ; fine Petersburg, 48e. to 495.; clean and heavy par-
cels of Memel and Konigsberg, 425. ; middling, 38s. to 395. ;
down to 345. per qr. for light inferior qualities. In Rape-
seed nothing new to report. Linseed Cakes continue to meet
a good sale, for the season of the year, at well-supported
rates—eay, 101. 6s. per ton for bat quality of Hull-made,
and 91. 10s., down to 81. 10e. per ton for foreign, according
to quality. Foreign imports daring the weak: Linseed,
750 qrs. ; Rapeseed, 1,380 ; Barley, 990 ; Beans, 1,610.

LIMILPOOL, JULY 16.—Although the very limited stocks
of grain acknowledged to remain in the hands of British
farmm will compel the millers throughout the country
to have recourse principally to foreign Wheats until harvest;
yet, during the period intervening between our first and
second markets this week the trade has continued to ex-
hibit symptoms of weakness, both Wheat and Flour having
teem rohasable at a further decline, and little business
ble in them or an other article. From Canada,
Tuteri= States, and Europe, we have to report, since
Momday last, a moderately fair supply of Wheat and Indian
Can, with a further large meson of Flour, but of other
erodeos the imports froth up for to-day are k&.,

dearer. Barley nominal. Oats and Shelling are each
rather dearer. Beans are fully 2s. per qr. higher. There

WOOL.—CH/PPENIIAII.—Thursday wee the anni-

ply of Wool, and a disposition on the pert of all interested
parties to do business. The highest price we heard of wee a
choice lot of principally Teg, which *old at 325. 6d. ; other
lots, from 28.. to 31s. There was considerable business done,
and prices were on the &dream

YORK, JULY 15.—The supplies of Wool still oontinue ,
and the attendance of buyers Is good also. Long...morel

place. The number of Sheep offered was also large ; the
butchers, however, seemed to have supplied themselves at
the preceding Wednesday's market, at which Sheep and
Lambs were superabundant, and many taken back unsold.
The fair, consequently, must be described as Sat. Good Beef
obtained 61d. to 7d. per lb.; but buyers, at these prices,
speaking generally, held off.
NEWCASTLE, Juir I3.—We have again to report a cow-
-1 paratively small supply of Beasts; upon the whole the quality
inferior. A very yam* show of Sheep and Lambs ; and a
small supply of Swine. All desetiptions of cattle meet with
slow demand, and prices have a downward tendency. Sheep
also a slow sale ; the number being large, together with the
Imes sustained in the dead markets last week, caused
butchers to purchase cautiously, and prices are from ed. to
Id. per lb, lower. Lambs have also undergone a consider.
able change, and prima have receded hom Id. to lid. per
lb. from last week. Little alteration in the Pig market. Prices.
