Mr. PEARSE opposed the clause.
Mr. H. supported it.
Mr. IVIIII.3IOItE was convinced that the exportation a
wcollen yarn would be of the greatest liovantage to the cousin
and that in cons-quence of the iniprimencent of our nosh;no,;'
this branch of trade could be carried on sec!' Inc hest effects. It;
was sure that the tint, mment was pow.ecslci g lust sal COTrett
views, and he crusted the House would imal.h. ; to tiontopiatt
the end proposed. Gentlemen were mistiikria Von tho.ight toot
the prohibition of the exportation of wool would In a beatific. to
the reign of Queen Elisabeth, when no sui-h itr.tirtation esistm,
the wool trade was in a most flourishing state, b. in the rein of
Charle. 1., when the prohibition did exist, the cai.e was very tia,
ent. iii, was sure that his Majesty's Ministers. in carryitg their
present plan into effect, would produce more gip id than sad can
dune Icy any government in this country.
Mr. T. WILSON said, that he had gaited with much patience
to hear any argument in proof that the country could be > nttited
by growing wool to be worked up by foreigners, wi en it :add be
ao wdl done at home. At present wool was t *ported, niaratik.

manufacturing interests of this country. Ile ho cod alarm duty

article.

Mr. S. WORTLEY said that no gentlenan in this 7w3sn,
could say that were we called upon to give away a raw ma.
our own without a corresponding advantage. Ile had no eLjer.sl
to free trade, but the prorated measure would Lot benef.: it. Even

it required attention from the Uorenstneot. floe penny per pound
would be no protection, and he so represented the natty: to the
tiovernment. On this subject no doubt there would be way
opinions, and he was satisfied, as a country geuileinan, sod n s

A Member. whose name we did not Imr. supported the measure.
Lord MILTON observed, that in h.. way 01 viewing the qua.
tine, there was nothing between landlord and tenant ; it was a met.
sure which he thought beneficial to the country. He cared not
whether there was a reciprocity in this ovemfore or sot ; btu this he
knew, that if he sent valuable things to foreign countries, it woul4
obtain in return valuable things trout them. He did not believe
that either himself or his colleagues would live to seethe nom
when the foreigner would buy the wool out of the mouths of his
constituents ; they were too wise and too industrious, aad toot,:.
rprizing, to allow it. The farmer made no complaint on this sub.
ject, anti that was to hint the beat proof that the proposed measure
might be safely carried into effect. This clause would doguod. b..
cause it would promote the growth of wool t it was the interest of
the manufacturers l 0 get rid of those vexacous laws, by white thcir
trade vas now restricted.

Mr. S. IVOItTLEY explained.
Mr. 10 It K ENs( ON, as we understood, supported the incautre.
Mr. 111 SFMNER said a few words, which way ie.
audible in !lie gallery.
Mr. (110 01. AI ONDELEV supper:al the clause.
Mr. Fl EI(SE hoped the Committee would weigh the subject
well, bef ire titer proceeded to legislate in a mattes of vital coca..
quence to the hoe-este of the country.
Mr. C. 1:1(.1NT said that we were not departing frotn eat
ancient policy, but, on the contrary, returning to it. A great part
°idle rivtnurs of this country arose from the duty impelled on the
export of our raw materials. Ile was sure that no good could be
produced from the continuance of our present system. %nth rqprd
to the growth of long wool, he asked, could long wool only grow
in this country ? li'ith respect to Spanish wool, it was stud. Bey
thing like it could not be produced ; but what is now the fact ? that
everywhere in Europe something equal to it was produced. The
Saxon wool was, in fact, an improvement on the Spanish. In
France our growth of long wool was rivalled, notwitluaanding all
oar efforts 10 guard the growth of wooled sheep.
Mr. S. 11.011TLEF denied is Poo that we could produce
w., .1 richer equal to the Spanish or the Saxon. (Hear, hest ; and

nuasure.

ir.BENETT (Irani) said, that reneral denials were no proof.
•,
He had been a ahecp.keerr fur thirty years, and was quite aware
that long wool could he grown generally in this country.
Mr. S. WORTLEY mid he had made use of no denial which
be could not prove at the Rae of the House.
The clause was then agreed to. Several other clauses were also
agreed to.
A clause was then props:ma, to allow the exports ion of wool,
upon which a division took place, when there eppeared—
For the clause. ICI,; Against it, 20; Ilsjonty,

ation of long wool,
Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved, as an amesd:nent, la the
duty should be Id. per pound.
The original clause was supported by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Mr. Robertson, Mr. Mansfield. Mr. S. ‘Vorlry,
T. Achim!, Mr. T. Wilson Mr. Wodebouse, Lord 31ilsin, Mr.
Portman, Mr. H. Sumner, Sir J. Newport, Mr. Whitmire, and
Mr. Hermit. The House divided, when there appeared—

"in our re-entry into the gallery, we found the CHANCELLOR
of the }:XT11141`Ell on his legs, but the noise was so great that
we cield not collect his observations.

After a few souls front Mr. S. WORTLFY and Mr.Wttyr-
