consideration
being dons,
Earl that after a consultation with some of
his Noble Friends, he was of opinion that it would
be better to polo pope the consideration of the
subject to-a rotate day. One of the reasons which
had induced him to come to that conclusion was,
that papers which he had moved for had not been
printed, by which he intended to shew their Lord-
ships that the protecting duties on the trade
between the two countries were not equal, milf
particularly that which related to the potteries of
this country, and the introduction of that pan of
the manufacture of this country bon Ireland. An-
other reason for postponing the motion was, that he
intended to introduce the subject of the Corn
Laws, which had been so detrimental to Ireland,
and it being taken up in another place as to
the mode of striking the averages, which be
trusted would enable the Government to find
out some mode to relieve the evil, might be of
more advantage than if the subject was agitated at
the same time in both branches of the Legislature.
Another reason he had fur postponing his motion
that the question relating to the claims of hie Ro-
ma Catholic countrymen for emancipation had
made some progress in the other House of Parlia-
ment, and it would be impossible for him to cuter
into the general state of Ireland without urging their
claims. There was another subject to which it would
have beam his duty to have drawu the attention of
their letwiebips, that of the importition et fda 1701
rite into this country, which by an Act of last See.
sion were allowed to be imported on en equality, bat
no sooner had the privilege been granted than an
order was sent to the out-ports to have its strength
reduced before it could he brought to market. Al.
thoogh he felt for the distress of the people of Ire.
lend in general, there was one data he felt more for
than the res., the labouring poor, as they called
more for immediate relief than ally other part of the
community of that country ; for although provisions ,
were so cheap as to distress the agriculturist, the
labouring poor were not able to purchase thean..
The Noble Earl then moved that the Ottliier'the •
Day should be discharged.
The Marquis of Lsesoowti said, there was one
point as to the state of Ireland, which he wished to
draw the attention of the Noble Earl (Lingered)
opposite to, the great commercial distress foe whist
of a circulat;ng medium, or a banking systeni,
which all commerce in the southern parts of Ireland
had been nearly stopped; as to any assistance to this
kind of distress being given by Government loans,
there was no man had a greater objection to such a
system than he had. He could not, however, help
thanking the Noble Earl opposite for the prompt
assistance he gave by loan last year to that part of
Ireland, when the great failures of the banks took
place. In some large towns in Ireland there were
no banks, and it was not for want of capital, but
persons of property were restricted from vesting it
in such an undertaking, as it would make them lia-
ble to the Bankrupt Laws. In Scotland there was
no difficulty in persons collecting capital for a
bank, for those who subscribed to it rue uo further
risk than the amount of their subscription. He
hoped the same system or regulation might be ex-
teuded to Ireland, if not, he would rather that coop-
try should depend ou their domestic circulation,
than the renewal of such banks as had by their
failure struck such a blow at the commerce of the
country, that perhaps she might never be able to
overcome.
The Earl of Livintroot. said, he 'greed with
the Noole Marquis that the failure of the banks in
the last year iu the southern parts of Ireland, gave
a great shock to commerce, and hit, Majesty's
Go-
vernment had adopted a course of relief by luau,
which certainly was not one he approved of, but
the necessity of the case called for it. The subject
had not escaped the attention of his Majesty's Go-
vernment, for it was not only his wish that the
Scotch banking system should be extended to Ire-
land, but also to England, so as to allow indivi-
duals of capital to put their property into a bank
so as to become a principal without risk ; for there
certainly was great difficulty in either the chattered
Banks of England or lrelaud giving relief, nheu
they saw what the ports of Liverpool and Blistril
had grown into, and what a large banking apneas
it took to aid them in thus stippiwting the?, cofile
mercial and shipiiiie, interests. If the subject
properly brought before their Lordships it should
have his ntaightuce, and he thnuked the Noble Mir.
quer for having mentioned it.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that the
Bank of laerand had tried to form btazich • banks,
