IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at 5 o'clock.

Earl GRANVILLE rose to move that in the event
of a division taking place in any select committee the
question proposed, the name of the lord proposing the
question, and the respective votes thereupon of each lord
present be entered on the Minutes of Evidence or on
the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Committee, as
the case may be; and reported to the house as the report
of such committee. The noble earl proceeded to say
that he should be perfectly willing to postpone his mo-
tion, if there were any chance of a debate arising upon
the free-trade resolutions which stood next on the paper.
The Earl of RADNO.R said that so far as he was con-
cerned he certainly did not mean to agree to the com-
promise which, it appeared, had been entered into the
other night. Not being present on that occasion, he
did not feel himself bound by it ; and he had come up to
town for the express purpose of moving an amendment
to the resolution which stood on the paper, and which,
in his opinion, did not go far enough.
The motion was then postponed until to-morrow.
FREE TRADE POLICY.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose pursuant to
notice to move to resolve that this house thank-
fully acknowledging the general prosperity, and
deeply sensible of the evils attending frequent changes
in the financial policy of the country, adheres
to the commercial system recently established, and
would view with regret any renewed attempt to
disturb its operation, or to impede its further progress.
The noble marquis said that the course which he had
taken was that which he had thought most likely to se-
cure unanimity, but it appears that, having done all he
could in the way of concession, he had ended, as was
usually the case, by setting more or less the opposition
of both sides. having placed himself, however, in this
position, he must excuse himself as well as he could. He
quite agreed that it was but fair to give a moderate mea-
sure of support to her Majesty's Ministers, in order to
enable them to carry on the government ; but when
they heard, as he had heard with somd amusement, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the other house declaring
that the Protectionist party had not tvished, or at least
had not endeavoured to return to a Protectionist policy,
he thought their confidence must be a little shaken.
For that reason he wished that a vote of this house
should also sanction free trade policy. They had heard
a great deal of an appeal to the sense of the country, but
he did not agree that the sense of the country was taken
by a simple vote of the other house without bringing
the question before this house. There was another
reason why the question should be brought before this
house, and that was that they had the First Minister
of the Crown in this house. He had wished to have a
concurrent vote of both houses, and that this house should
have adopted the resolution which had been carried in the
other house, and for the life of him he could not under-
stand why the noble earl opposite and his Mends would
not consent to that course ; either they were not sincere
in their agreement with their colleagues in the other
house, or they felt themselves weak and unable to carry
their own propositions there. Ho did not wish to
attribute to noble lords opposite any insincerity in their
adoption of free-trade policy, and he would take that
opportunity of saying that he saw no trace of protection
in the Budget, which had just been laid before the other
house.

(Left speaking.)
