CORN LAWS.

The Earl of HAtitswief:e presented to their Lordships a Report
from the Committee anpointed to inquire into the Ctirn Laws. He
had reason to recrct that t:.e Committee were tiore•abled to make
• complete Report mum this subject on :termini of the many in-
quiries it would be necessary to m .ke and to take into consideration.
They had therefore recommended to the More the propriety of
postponing this important subject to :mother Selsion of Parkiment,
when another Ciimmittee might he appointed for the some purpose.,
This Report was received and Werra to lie en the table.
Earl STA Nttorr then rose to move the resolution he hail proposed
on this subject. From the evidence given helme the Cori! Coin.
mitts?, his Loidship s tiel, it appeared that the farmers, aceordmo
to the present reduced price of corm, conld not stipport the great
expends of their present mode of cnltivation: one limner who
Cultivated 700 acres, p.tid in 179.?. 2701 for the same portion of
labour as snot him in 1813, 8001. Under their eirenne‘tauce, what
was to he done? According to the system of
.ffnnine mongers
Cie price of corn was to be raised, but his proposition vi as oust to
raise tk:e price of corn, but t,) unburden the taron.r. by repealing
those taxes in particular which pre•sed most heavily upon the
grt, wet of corn. The 'Sable Earl concluded by moving,

" That it. be resolved by the flotew. !lint, to provide for the
Psi'Vie, at in ear rare. the tirees-aries of life, iM an tiltiCet of great
injilOnal importance; and that it. WAS nevesiary to hold out a st ratly
eitrooragement to the gro‘ver4 of corn, and to reps al those taxes
which pre4s lowa. %ray upon agriculture, with a doe rezard to the
exiizetwir, of the State, and the pi.eAcrvation of faith with the pub-
lic credit...r "

The Earl of TilltbWirl:E said, be Inld no nTijection to the prn•
ciple of the re%on&i),;, hot titon:z'it it wo,d•l r most aalvisln:e to
