STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Mr. 'BROUGHAM said, but for the indisposition of
the Member for Essex (Mr. West 'III), lie should not have
brought forward the question. It was a most impottant
subject. Ile hoped the House %mild resist the Rtl tt isters
and stand up for the country; if this were not done, lie
believed there was no hope of relief. They hail received
a sad foretaste of all.tt they were to expect, when, so far
from a reduction of taxes beiii promised, they were led
to expect new taxes might be hopused ; I'ur, it a reduc-
tion of sonic taxes weuhl be an aggravation, what a ere
they to expect but some new taxes to alleviate aggrava-
tion ? This was the favourite doctrine of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer; and argument, or riductile had not yet
beaten him out of it. It then became the !louse to res:st
the ministers promptly. If they really desired to pro-
'note teductiun, the vote of the House would only
strengthen the hands of government; and that was what
lie should call for, therefore it was advisable to appeal
thus to the House, b. fore the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer details on Friday next. The accounts must be
nearly ready, 110114 the arraugetneut made by his lion.
fiiend (Mr. Il t) last session ; and therefore there could
uot be any reason for delaying the amplest details and
the fullest teview of the financial situation of the country.
The hon. member then proceeded lo notice the aglical-
tnral difficulties experienced in different parts of Eng-
land. It was said by some that the distress was peculiar
to the agricultural 'ldea este. This he could not compre-
hend. Agriculture might experience some temporary
pressure, without affecting other interests; but that such
difficulties should continue fur six years without affecting
the general interests of the country, was what lie could
not understand. He deemed it to be impossible such a
state of things should continue without effecting the
whole home market—lt was impossible.—(Hear, hear; )
—The profits of the manufactitrer, especially he alio
prepared for the foreign market, arse small indeed.—
