Williams, R. Walker, T. E. Winnington, A. White, W.
Wilahere, A. Yates.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. F. Baring
were present at the interview.
Mr. Warburton stated that he had been requested to in-
troduce the deputation in the absence of Mr. Wallace ;
and then in a very clever and forcible manner represented
the objects of the deputation. He stated that the plan pro-
posed by Mr. R. Hill had been thoroughly examined, its
adoption had been recommended by the Parliamentary
Committee, and in proportion as it had become known it
had received the sanction and support of public opinion ;
and that opinion had become so general and so strong, that
the very numerous attendance of Members of Parliament,
in addition to the deputation from the Mercantile Com-
mittee, was the result. They were there to evidence to
his Lordship the strong interest felt by the several con-
stituencies, and by the commercial and trading interests,
for the adoption of this measure. The Parliamentary Com-
mittee had been assisted by a Committee of Merchants,
who had been able, from their high respectability and
great influence, to produce a great body of evidence
in support of the proposal, and showing its vital
importance to the commercial and trading interests of the
country. He pressed this matter upon his Lordship's at-
tention on its own merits, as well as fro m a conviction that
it would be felt and received from the highest to the lowest
as a boon, if conceded now. To the poor he might say in
particular it would be an invaluable concession, and one
that would be received, from whoever should concede it, as
a highly popular measure. If he might be pardoned for
making the observation upon such an occasion, he would
say it would be a concession so wise, that it would be well
calculated to make any Government justly popular, and he
would strongly urge it as a measure which a Liberal party
had a just right to expect from a Liberal Administration.
There was no measure that could be immediately
granted, the benefits of which would be so extensively
felt, or that would be so well calculated to remove, in a
considerable degree, that discontent which it could not
be denied or disguised now existed. As to the revenue,
that was a consideration not to be overlooked or lightly
considered, and it had been well considered by the Pal-
liamentary as well as the Mercantile Committee. The
returns of the advertisement duty for -five years
before and the five years next following the repeal showed
that the reduction of the duty, slight as that reduction
was, compared with the reduction now proposed on
postage, had converted a slightly decreasing retut n into an
increasing product; it had increased, and in the last year,
1838, was still increasing. He then referred to the im-
portance'of the testimony of Sir Edward Lees, the Post-
office Secretary for Scotland, and said the result of the
whole in the minds of those who had maturely and fully
considered the matter was, that a penny postage for the
whole of the three kingdoms was the only safe sum in a
fiscal point of a view.
Mr. TRATERS, as one of the London Mercantile Com-
mittee, could assure his Lordship that this matter had
been maturely considered by men of great commercial
experience, and that the conviction was general that
the revenue would be Pale at a penny, but that two-
pence would not yield the great results commercially
which a penny, in his judgment, would certainly yield. ,
He should be afraid of obtaining his Lordship's belief if,
on an occasion like the present, requiring a subdued
expression of conviction as to results yet to be produced,
he was to state the extent of his own confident anticipa- ,
tions ; but he would assure his Lordship that the conces.
sion would not only enable merchants and traders to do
their business much better, but also greatly enlarge the
quantity done. The increase to the general revenue from
that would not escape his Lordship. But one grave and
serious evil would not be removed by a two-penny rate—
that was evasion and smuggling. His Lordship could
have no adequate idea of the extent to which the present
heavy ratei forced the smuggling practice upon ali—not
the smaller traders only—he did not except himself; and
though he was not to be classed amongst the highest or
the lowest, those of greater as well as those of less exten-
sive commercial importance were driven to this practice,
and a penny only would, by removing the cause, remove
he effect, and bring this large class of corresponding into
the Post-office.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL represented in very strong
terms the sentiments of his constituents in Edinburgh in
favour of an uniform pennypostage, and that the feeling
there was not limited to political party, bui, was general
and intense.
Mr. MARK PHILLIPS then stated several important facts
relative to the extent of the evasion forced upon the com-
mercial and trading interests of Manchester and Liverpool,
shoeing the impossibility of preserving the correspon-
dence of the country to the Post-office unless this plan was
adopted.

Mr. O'CONNELL, from a distant part of the room, which
was delyuly crowded, stood upon a chair, sod said—One
word for Ireland, my Lord. My peer countrymen do not
smuggle, for the high postage works a total prohibition to
them. They are too poor to find out secolocl4ry convey-
ances, and if you shut the Post-office to them, which you
do now, you shut cut warm hearts and generous s fft etions
from home, kindred, and friends. Consider, ray Lord,
that a letter to Ireland, and the answer back, would cost
thousands upon thousands of my poor and affectionate
countrymen considerably more than a fifth of their week's
wages ; and let any gentleman here ask himself what would
be the influence upon his correspolidence if, for every letter
he wrote, he or his family had Ito pay one-fifth of a week's

Mr. Ht'ME then produced sorne statistical details, con.
firming Mr. Warburton's conclusions.
Mr. MOFFATT, the treasurer of the London Mercantile
Committee, said that if Government felt any doubt about
the ultimate safety of the revenue, and had no difficulty in
farming it out, there would be no difficulty in London in
finding a body of high mercantile character to carry out
the plan proposed, with the same security to the public for
safe conveyance, and not to exceed the charge proposed of
one penny; and also to secure to the Government the full
amount of revenue which is now derived from the Post-
office department.

Lord.
MELnounNE said that the able manner in which tbe
subject bad been brought under the attention of her
Maj,,sty's Government by Mr. Warburton would secure
for it the most serious attention, if its own importance
did not. It was one of great moment in a commercial,
literary, and social view, and he could not but
feel for these interests which had been so ably
brought into view by the gentlemen who had spoken, and
particularly for those whieb.had been so feelingly expressed
by the Honourable Member far Dublin. It would be ob-
vious to all present—indeed they had shown it was present
to their minds—that the revenue must, for the safety of all,
be provided for and made safe ; and that was a considera-
tioa, he might say, nearly as much to be borne in mind by
the gentlemen of the House of Commons, so many of whom
were now present, as of her IVl:ljastY's Government. Of
course the Deputation would not expect him to express
itdsem importance neeTi and n d the
any opinion on this occasion ; but they might rely upon the
subject receiving that attention
many interests connected with it
Go-
vernment had already discussed it—they had come to no
adverse conclusion—they would further consider it, and
could not fail to give a very careful consideration to the
statements which had been made at that interview.
The Deputation then retired.
A strong feeling evidently pervaded the room in re-
ference to Mr. Warburton's allusion to the just expectation
of this important measure being conceded by a Liberal Go-
vernment. He was then loudly cheered.

left suspended in the air, in the midst of the flames,
