press the clime, which seemed to (hitch oppoNtri to
the wishes of the House ; and even the Noble Mar•
quilt, if he understood him, had expressed his
iltment, and lie thought the Bill should not be
clogged with a clause which might tend to its de•
struction. If the proposed dowse primed, he
thought it would be an insult to the landed in-
terests.
Mr. FiLANCLAND Lams was of opinion that the
t louse proposed by his Right Honourable Friend
(Mr. Canning), io•tead wf injuring, would, in its
nperation, resetaially serve agricsiture, and upon
that ground it should have his support.
Mr. IlEnts Bitowsa opposed the dense, and
he thought that any man who supported it must
base his mind mode up to support two things: first,
thattlencouragetnent should be given to all future
speculations to import►ng eons ; and secondly, for
►educing the price of corn in the Braid' market,
He should therefore give it his must strenuous op-
position.
Mr. Davie. Gupta? said that every man he
hail ever heard speak, who was acquainted with the
sobject, was of opinion that it would be impossible
to frame regulations which would trod entirely to
prevent the earn when ground to be smuggled into
circulation ; and considering, us lie did, that the
clause would be moat ruinous, he should feel it his
duty to oppose it.
Mr. LOCKHART complaioed that no regulatios
snivel] at present whereby the proposed damn.
ould has wnh security. But the principal °hire.
lion to the inzosure was, that it would tend to creole
a feeling of distrust amongst the agriculturists, and
iodine them to suppose that the commercial iatetesto
were predominant iii the House of Commons.
Mr. Ilecoooo conatiered that if the boon could
be Oren to the holderm.of warehoused corn without
eletrirneut to the agriculturists, it should be granted,
for it •MIIS no objection to ask what right they had
to demand it ; and feeling that that clause could
do no injury whatever to any class of the commu-
nity, he should neurtily support it.
Mr. BEN ETT (Wattling...) felt as much sympathy..
Hoy mare for those who ►utfered tai consequence of the
imporistiou of corn ; but he also felt fur the unfits.
tuoute farmers its the country, who were not able
veto to pry the poor's rates of their farms, and who
were actuslly growing corn under more distressing
rierninssances than these who had imported it. He
was nodal...mot whether the clause was persevered its
or nor, for lie .hoped that if the Bill were clogged
t,ith this (-Luse it might destroy it ultogether, stitch

Mr. D. BROVINIS said that his objection extended
to the entire measure.

Mr. THOIII4B WiLeon said, that those indivi-
duals who now sought redress were slot ',laced in s
wo se situation consequence of any Act of Pie.

.worse. The agriculturists wore now suffering ex-
