SILK TRADE.
Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the
House -went into a Committee upon the Silk Trade.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXt'll MOAB said it had just
been communicated to him, that the gentleman who was to plead at
the bar of the House was prevented by indisposition. HIM idea,
therefore was, thatthe Bill should that nightgo through the Com-
mittee, tie blanks be lilted up and made intelligible, and that on
Monday the Counsel appointed by the petitioners would be in a
tate to appear, or somebody for him. Ile therefore moved that
she Bill be printed.
Mr. HUME wished to suggest one matter which seemed to
escape the attention of the House. There was a portion of the
trade likely to suffer if the matte was not remedied—he alluded
Ito those who had In their possession what wss called cut silk. If •
picot of silk was cut to the extent of five or six inches, there was
no drawback to be allowed, sod he hoped this would be attended to
in the case of the petition.
The CHAIRMAN reminded the Honourable Member, that the
petition was to be referred to only as the ground of hearing court.
eel at the bar. Wilms the House went into a Committee, no mcn-
bet would be excluded hoes offering whatever suggestions might
occur to him.
Mr. BARING did not think a second petition should be re-
ferred to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER still thought it
would be the best plan to till up the blanks to-night, and that the
Bill should be printed and brought up in its amended state on
Monday ; it would be then time to discuss it in one and not in
two Committees.
Mr. ELLICE stated, that from some expressions thrown out by
the Right Honourable Gentleman, a report had gooe abroad that
some change yea intended. There was an immense deal of anxiety
upon the subject. He would give the Right Ilan. Cent. the credit
of supposing no change was to take place.
• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, from
every view be had taken of the subject, and front every considera-
tion be bad been able to give it, aided by various conversations
with all parties, be found himself warranted in stating that no
change whatever was to take place. The Bill was to go to the
country with no other alterations or amendments than thomialready
stated.

Mr. lIUME thought it would be a great hardship if the cir-
cumstance of the cut silk were not attended to; it would be un-
just to the individuals, if the public, who were to receive benefits,
were not to make some remuneration to those injured. The small
dealers would be materially injured, if the pteces of silk measuring
30 yards were not entitled to the bounty. This principle was ex-
tended to the ribbon trade. Be did not know why a line of dis-
tinction should be drawn. He thought if the bounty were al.
lowed to pleas of silk measuring thirty yards, it would be highly
satisfactory.
Mr. W. SMITH objected to their discussing the question in two
Committees; In his opinion no Honourable Meniber should make
1 any declaration whatever on the subject until in Committee ; it
would be then competent to him to act as he thought proper.
Mr. ELLICE would repeat, there was a gram anxiety upon the
public mind in consequence of sonic opinion entertained that the
Right lion. Gent. would not follow up his plan. Ile trusted he
would be consistent in the opinion he had formed. and would
persevere in the measure he hnl recoinmended. He hoped, from
I what happened that night, it would go abroad to the public that
the Right Honourable Gentleman had made up his mind on the
measure.
Mr. BARING thought the understanding of any man must be
singularly framed who could doubt the inn ntion of the Right Hon.
Gentleman. The language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
the petitioners appeared to him 'mange. He told them—•• I will
hear you on Monday, but I will nut be convinced by you." A Mi-
nister should, in his opinion, be cautious how he used such
language. If there was an allowance upon the cut silk it would
of count occasion an augmentation of the bounty. A small shop-
keeper seldom bought an entire piece of silk, the article depended
so much upon fancy : he generally bought a part of one piece, and
sonic of another. But the small shopkeeper should certainly receive
some remuneration, for the great dealer would be sure to undersell
him. There was a phrase in the Hill which he did not understand ;
it was—" new and uncut goods." What was meant by new goods?
It would not be intended, of course, that all the rubbish which lay
in shops for years, and was unsakable, should be entitled to the
bounty.
Mr. BERRIES said, those persons concerned, who made Com-
munications with the Treasury, had not complained of the insur-
mountable difficulties respecting cut silk. The phrase, "new and
uncut" meant the silk as it *us front the loom, in its original state,
and placed in bales.
Mr.C. SMITH knew that large sums would belost if the bounty
was not allowed for the cut silk. Ile could not understand why the
Right Hon. Gentleman was induced to refuse it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in answer to
the demand fee- the bounty on the est silk, that those individuals
connected with the erode who had had various Communications
with the Tremor/ and Board of Trade, and who used every argu-
ment in support of their claims, had not been able to advance any
claim, consistent with the principles on which Covernment acted, to
the giving of a bounty on remnants; for, if the bounty was .r anted,
it would be impossible fur the Gorernmmtto receive, in all the
country towns, all the remnants which the shopkeepers would throw
in upon them. This was the general principle on which the re-
fusal was grounded. He would not trouble the House with any
detail.

Mr. LITTLETON called the attention of the House to ano-
ther article, which, though principally silk, was not reckoned so.
Twelve parts of it were silk, and the thirteenth was mohair ; fur this
reason the article was called mixed. Ile had a constituent, who
was, he believed, the only manufacturer of this article in the king.
don. Some remuneration ought to be made to this individual.
' Mr. Alderman WOOD said he had many constituents who
would be severtly injured, who were large dealers in the article of
silk, and when they sent out large parcel+ to their customers, they
always cut a piece, which they retained to show the colour of the
pattern.
He thought the persons retaining these pieces should not

amended.

money would be better employod.
Mr. (lOULDURN said, there was no city In which the charita-
ble institutions, and the voluntary contributions to their support,
exceeded those of Dublin. Institutions, however, of the descrip-
tion for which the prcaent estimate was required, were such as
persons who subscribed expected a return for their money, in the
way of instruction or entertainment. It was therefore natural, that
noblemen and gentlemen who attended Parliament, and were
obliged to reside in this country for a certain portion of the year,
should contribute to the support of institutions which yielded them
such resources.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS explained.
AIL HUME explained that his objection to the grant arose from
its not being stated how the sum pmposed was expended.
The vote was then agreed to, Mr. 11 u see having consented to

withdraw his amendment.

It was then pmposed, that the sum of 15,5531. Gs. l Id. should
be anted to his Majesty for widening the streets of Dublin.
Mr. HUME wished to know why they should be called on to
widen the streets of Dublin ? (Hear, hear.) To be called upon to
widen the streets of that city was a call to which he never could at-
hand ; and he knew not why the people of Aberdeen should be
summoned to come forward and contribute to the expense attend-
' ant upon widening the streets of Dublin ? (Cheers.) Therefore be
should object to the grant.
Mr. JOHN Shl Cl'll knew not whether it was prudent or not
to widen the streets of Dublin ; but of this he was quite sure, that
it was just as necessary to grant money to Ireland for the improve-
ment of its chief city, as it was for Ireland to contribute her shore
to the improvement of Westminster Abbey. The Caledonian
Canal too, that precious job, had been contributed to by Ireland.
Mr. Secretary PEEL thought, that in addition to the general ar.
guments, there were peculiar reasons why the Committee should ac.
cede to the proposed improvements. It the Hon. Member for
Aberdeen would look to the improvements of Wesuninster Abbey,
he would find, as was observed by the Han. Member who spoke
last, that Ireland had avtributed her share to that improvement,
sod it vas quite reasonable tl at her streets should, on the same ,
principle, he widened, at the expense of both countries.
Mr. HUME said that he was quite ready to admit that the Ca-
ledonian Canal was one of the most luckless speculations that had

SORIC conversation took place in the House, which we were not
able to hear.
Mr. BERNAL, as far as we could distinguish, stated that he
would oppose the ;eduction of the dut7 on foreign runt.
BARBARY SLATES.
Mr. BRIGHT wished for sonic information respecting the con-
nection of this country with the States of Barbary, and said be
would, on a future occasion, make a motion on the subject.
IRISH MISCELLANEOUS ESTI.MATES—SILTPPLV.
On the sum of 2,0001. being moved fur the Cork Institution—
Mr. HUME wished to know what peculiar claim Cork had to
this grant; why was not such a part granted, for instance, to Liver-
pool. He did not see why a line of distinction should be drawn;
such institutions weresupported by subscription in othertowns, and
should be condoned on the same principle in Cork.
Mr. GOULBU R N said there were also subscriptions reboil in
the neighbourhood of Cork. As to Liverpool, there was a great
capital in that town, and therefore it bad no claim to such a grant.
It was of peculiar importance to disseminate information in Ire-
land, and the grant in question would be productive of great pub-
lic benefit. :
111 r. S. RICE said his opinion of the grant in question was, that
it was given to raise and encourage infant institutions: it was not
intended by Parliament to b: lived—it was meant to be a circulat-
ing grant; and when it had served in Cork the purpose for which
it was intended, it was to be withdrawn and given to other towns.
The grant war given in the year 11106, and it should now be ap-
plied to other purpoles.
Mr. HUTCHINSON said large subscriptions were giveri from
the neighbourhood of Cork. It was perfectly natural foe his Hon.
Friend to wish the grant bestowed upon Limerick: be did not
mean to quarrel witlttik maluigence of this feeling: great benefits

It was also announced that the grant could be limited to a certain
number of veers, and would then be applied to other provincial
tow ns—to &Fast, for instance, or some town in the north. It was
not intended any part of the grant should be applied to agricultural I
