Mr. KITCHEN thrbleored a resolution to the afoot—
" That the meeting with alarm that by the statement
of tits Claudio, el the Bzobeqnsr it is his Intsallon to qua-
Use the import &Pi on foreign hops with the excise ditty on
British hop; and that, taking Into oosideratice the very
peculiar and szo lona nature of the hop mode, the broad
and acknowledged procdpkts of tree trade do not apply to it;
they therefore minim to petition the House of Commons
against any alteration whatever at the present time ea
Ul-
timed end uncalled for • the incremsd production of the last
eve years having exceeded the consumption.
Kr. J. NO LL= seconded the resolution, and mprened his
fear that Mr. Gladstone was ill-suainted with the nature
and peonliariUm of the hop trade, which wu quite an mow-
MAW OW.

Mr. 6:*/ °onto:wow moved ea sumolsesut is favour of
the resolatices of the Cbsseellor of the 2er
duffs the aselsollatios of the customs sad = duties on
hope, which, however, wee lost, and the resolution carried.
Mr. °Bozos Ilawirr awned a rasoladou boar effect that
the only chance of swarthy' ruin to the bop tilde la to fa-
unas their members to oppose the budget sea whole.
Yr. Cows weeded the tonelalloa.

tiles CMAILLIS NAPE'S, M.P., maid, es a free trader, he did
not think it eery likely that he should comforts to the terms
of the taeolutioa. It was, in lent, quite impowdble for him
to obey the order of the snewang to sestet in throwing the
budget out alteptheir. he regarded ti
kequest:Wu of bops,
although he wee unaeguabted with the trade, the state-
ments which had bees made .tinged his that It wan, to say
the least, rather sharp mottos ou the pert of the govern-
meat only to reduces tn. duty as British hops 61., while that
oa fareigu wee diminished by Sle. • but ha doubted whether
the might not be rusettlid is oommittee. He should
do all to assist in currying oat the wishes of the meeting
esweldest with Me views of free trade.

Mr. Joni Lora; M.P., said, with regard to the object-
tics to the budges as a whole, he *eight the reselation went
a hide too far. It yea undoubtedly the greatest budget that
bed bees produced Moe the days ef Mr a. Peal. It dealt
with erverythbeg. With regard to the poetise of bops, it
wee deer very little benefit would be ,served in say quarter.
The great principle lathe reduction el duties was the asthenia'
it gave to trade. Tim evidence adduced before the ememittes
on hop duties clearly proved that until the malt duty was
dealt with the reduction in the duty an hops would have no
effect at all in stimulating trade. He bad no hesitation in
saying that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not been
happy la his selection of the hop duty to be desk with la the
way int proposed. (Hess hear) ne far as he was eon-
evened, although he saw rimy things that he admired In the
ppmeeat government, ha should molder the budget as an
Isdepead—t member, and if, upon dimwits, the other
matters appetwed to him se eidesnmeable ea We repeal
lope, he should he cm ef Weikel men to wpm

Irv. M.P., meld be bad ler the last 19 years re-
presented the hop grown of Worcesienbire In Parliament,
sad had taken a part Is all the battles that had been fought
was the question. His views se to the utter injustice of
Mr. Gladstone's pretest proposal weedy etoiseitial with Mee
expreased by the hem gsa who had previously ad-
dressed them.

Upon iiiiMatint being put It was deviated to be lost.
Mr. HOD/BALD thin moved—" ID ow the proposition of
the Chastain, of the Exchequer biomass law, this meeting
urges upon the member, of the House of Conscious who had
been present the neosseity of using their unmet endeavours
to obtain a drawback foe the holders of British hops that may
be in stook co the day the reduced dades come into opere-
ttas, equal la amount to the daimon betvent the duty
bithene paid on British hops and the duties to be lerieil an
hops in future, its otherwise foreign hops at the reduced duty
will compete unfairly with British hops that bare been
charged with the higher duty; and la ere this preposition
should not be acceded to, that the reduced customs dude@
should not take allot mill Jemmy 1, 1E61."
Mr. BROODS seconded the motion, which wee put and
tarried unanimously.
