EVENING EDITION

he would have stated the scheme that Government had in
view. In that expectation, however, they were deceived; the.
present Government had not thought right to follow the example
set them by Mr. Canning in 1827. He came down to the House
and boldly stated that the easure he was about to propose Nos
the measure of the Goveim nment.—( Hear.) Why was that
course not adopted in the present instance?—( Hear, bear.)
The people expec'ed, and had aright to expect, 'hat the Go:
vernment would take upon themselves the responsibility that
belonged w them —( Hear, hear. ) They had chosen to throw
off that responsibility, and they had not even condescended W
submit their plan to the House. Those who had brought for-
ward the present question had acted a much more manly part,
they had boldly come forward and tated that their object was
a total repeal of the Corn-laws.— s(
Hear. ) He had attended
to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he could not
for the life of him tell what he intended to do. It was true
that something had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman
which led him to suspect what the scheme was ; and he was
the more inclined to that supposition when he re7ollected the
letter written by the Noble Lord opposite to his constituents in
which he talked of a fixed duty.—( Hear, hear.) The Ili ht
Hon. Gentleman had said, why was corn to be treated in a
fei ent manner from any other article ? He would tell him wit,' ;
because corn was an essential article of life, and it would be
madness to depend upon other countries for it.—(Hear, hear.) I,
He trusted lion. Members would not be led away by talking
about a fixed duty, because he would venture to say, if it wts,
established, it would not last three years.—(Hear.) He thought
the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to look with an eye
of great jealousy on the course pursued by his Right Hon'
Friend, as it would go far to rob the Exchequer.—( Hear, hear. )
It had been said and repeated more than once, that this was a
landowner's question. To that proposition he entirely dis 7
sented. He could not understand how it was possible that
the landlords could be in a state of prosperity while the farmers
who occupied their land were in a state of adversity. It was
impossible for the one to thrive while the ether was depressed. As
regarded the labourer, his case might be put on exactly tile
same footing ; and, as far as his experience went, the labourer
was found to be in a better condition when the price of corn
was high than when it was low. In his part of the country
the labourer got about 12s. a-week when corn was one shilling
a gallon. The Hon. Member for Wolverhampton had coy'
eluded his speech by declaring that there were three great en-
cumbrances which it was necessary to remove. He did not knoW
whether the Rt. Hon. Gentleman on the Treasury benches were
in their places when the Hon. Member stated that those inculn-
brances were the Church Establishment, the Natio:Aal Debt'
and the aristocracy.—( Hear, hear.) Who was it that com-
posed the last class? All the nobility, the clergy, and an
who were in possession of a considerable quantity of lab'
What were they to think of those who, in removing thoselo;_s'
wished to put an extinction on that class of her Majesty's stur
jects ?—(Hear, hear.) If that was the object, it became their
to resist the motion by all the means in their Power'
And it was not true, as was stated by the Honourable
Baronet who seconded the motion, that the landowner
wanted to raise the price of food. He was astonished
to hear such an assertion matte, and he begged to give as flat is 3
contradiction as it was possible to do. The best answer to sn!
an assertion was the high and unblemished character of the
landowner.—( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentlemen bad
concluded by referring to the speech of the Hon. Baronet, the
Member for Pembroke. He would follow the same example'
and refer, in conclusion, to a letter which had been ad-
dressed by the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Home
Department, to his constituents of the county of Huntingd-
don in the year 1820. The Right Hon. Baronet then re
the letter of the Noble Lord, but amidst so much noise that its
was impossible to give a detailed report of it. The readingt
the letter caused much laughter. He called upon the House
Commons to do their duty. He called upon them to act uP°'"
the opinions of the Noble Lord as expressed by him to his On
stituents in Huntingdon, which he considered much better than
t• e opinions now supposed to be entertained by the Noble
Lord.—( Loud cheers.)
Sir William Molesworth, Mr. Clay, and several of the MeV.
bers rose together, amidst loud cries of Adjourn, adjourn.
The question was put, and the Debate adjourned till W
morrow.

STANDING ORDERS.
Mr. ESTCOURT then moved to rescind the Standing °r.
der, number 10, page 34, and to substitute for it the follonl
Standing Order :—'• That notice of the day and hour on schlin
the Committee on the Bill is appointed to sit be given'.
writing, seven clear days beforehand by the agent solicitn?.
the Bill, to the clerks in the Private Bill Office, and to the
clerks in the Committee Clerks' Office ; and that all Conoitt:
be
proceedings of which such notices shall not have been giYo'
void."—Agreed to.

IRISH RAILWAYS.
Mr. HARVEY moved That an humble address be Prii
sented to her Majesty, that her Majesty will be graci°_,nuns
pleased to direct an alphabetical list of the names of all peir" 0
through whose property the proposed line of railroad betviee
the cities of Dublin and C.,rk is intended to pass to be for.;.
with made to this House, distinguishing the name of each r
son who is a Member of either House of Parliament." ioe
Lord MORPETH was very anxious that every infornitt4
should be given, but suggested some alteration in the vicruj
of it.

After a short discussion,
Mr. HARVEY withdrew his motion, and said that he /1°111(1
endeavour so to frame it as to meet the wishes of the House:w
Mr. HARLAND brought in a Bill to improve the pra'''y
and proceedings in the Court of Pleas of the County Pau"--
of Durham and Sadberge, which was read a first time.
The House adjourned at half-past twelve.

against the estate of the above bankrupt, described 0_..01
" printer," but more generally known as the proprietor

circumstances. He had engaged to-write a work for
Poe
tion called the " Lives of the Poets ;" a certain FL.;

in manuscript, and a further part he had already prepol,,,
the notes for. He now asked what portion under
bankrupt's estate he would be allowed to claim for. fo
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said he would be allowed to poi,
for as much as he could prove at the time of the b. 13
ruptcy the bankrupt was indebted to him.
The Solicitor who attended on the partof Mr. Anderrin't
said, that according to the custom of the trade his ch.-
would be allowed to prove for so much per sheet.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS was of opinion that some auto"',
were not persons who were rightful judges of their 0%
tal nts ; they sometimes over-rated them. And the
they might think their works super-eminent, they We'
not so.
The Bankrupt said that he had given the author notlol
to discontinue them.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS —From what time?
The Bankrupt could not exactly name the time. fir
when he found the claimant did not work at them "
gu arly, he gave him notice to discontinue the writing'
The Solicitor for the claimant deniethis.
Sir C. F. WILLIA ms would give every attention t° tbe
ease, and named a day for the entering into it. • er. Subsequently Mr. Harrild, of Distaff.lane, Pript et
broker, and Mr. James Inray, of Upper Thames-Wed;
stationer, were chosen the assignees, and the proceed°.
adjourned.
