forward a Meanies of this importance at so ad-
vanced a period of the Session ; but that he would
postpone all further proceedings upon it until next
aniloll. He said the Bill that was already before
both Hawses of Parliament, had produced a most
-i-isehieenue tied in the country, and particularly
Is the asetropolis ; that since its introduction, the
markets had tisen considerably; and that, in conse-
quence of this rise, the bakers had waited on the
Lard Mayors preying to make an alteration in the
smile of bread. After these, and many other in-
conveniences that had been experienced, he- trusted
the Bill, which was now lost, would not be renewed
during the present session ; bin that Members of
Parliament might have time to turn their thoughts
upon it. He would, therefore, object to the Speak-
er's leaving the Chair.
Mr. WESTERN said, he was sorry to find the
Hon. Gentleman objea to a measure that had si-
lently been discussed in Parliament. Should the
motion for the Speaker leaving the chair be now
agreed to, it was his intention to move in the Com-
mittee auntie resolutions, which should be the
ground-work of a Bill he afterwards meant to bring
in for regulating the exportation and importation of
corn; and which should be similar to a Bill lately
passed in that House, bat which was lost in conse-
quence of the Lords having made in it certain
amendments that were incompatible with the pi ivi-
legik fir the Cornolosts. He should bring in just
oath trendier Bill, with the amendments, and then
onedesnen,who meant to oppose it, should recoiled
dint it had passed that House without even a divi-
sion; and that it kid pa%seil the House of Lords
without any, or with very little oppositi
The SPEAKER here interrupted the Hon. Mem-
ber, by observing, that be was not at liberty to
take notice of any thing which passed in the other
House of Parliament.
Mr. WESTERN resumed. He said, be was
eery if be transgressed the orders of the House ;
bat his able& was to show that the B;11, of which he
name to -move a similar one, had been con-
sidered by Parliament as a necessary measure,
in as marls as it had passed both Houses in
the issaaaer be dreribed. He was sure that,
lire due 4oesidsration, Gentlemen would feel
this en be a most important measure. It was nothing
less than a measure to prevent thousands of acres of
lend throughout the country from being deserted b 7
die plough ; to prevent farmers from converting their
lands to other purposes besides those of sowing
torn. It was a measure to prevent the recurrence
of that scarcity, which had been felt in so dreadful a
manner some years ago; and, ultimately, to make
of corn moderate and cheap. These things
never be done by importation ; they must be
,y holdiag out a sufficient inducement to the
to cultivate grain. It was as much for the
of the consumer mit was fur the grower of

should take place. He also wished that

of the measure very apparent. He under-

that parliament would take care, that it would

Member moved certain resolutions similar to
