Earl TEMPLE, pursuant to his notice on a for-

to take into consideration the various Alts relating
to the ‘Vocolen Monufadttire."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
i in seconding the Motion of his Noble Friend, took
the tsportuoity of staring the motives which idle-
eecest him on the occasion. Three years had elapsed
since a Committee It id been appointed to take

orratizement had get taken place, and the Sospess

However nejtitionahle such an expedient might be,
as a remedy for temporary evils, it was peculiarly so

growing worse and worse. He trusted, that when
the Committee should make their Report to Parlia-
ment, the House would look the question in the face,
and come to such a decisi n upon it, as would put an
• mud to the irritation witch was keut alive in the
i colliery, by the frequent renewal tithe Suspension
1 tiit'. The l'ltCTeSt ot the manuraCturer, employers,
and employed, and that of the country, was the
some, via. to promote the growth and prosperity of
the mannfoeure.
