Mr. HUME moved for an Account of Cotton Yarns

inclusive, tozether with their value, tke,
Mr. HUME said, that in 1821 Returns of the Accounts
of the Four and a Half per CAnt. Duties on Goods im-
ported into Barbadoes, and other neighbouring Colonies,
hail been laid on the table. The accounts, however, only
came down to 1819; and he now moved for their conti-
nuation from that time to the present time. He did so
with the view of attempting to relieve the West Indies
from this charge, which they were quite unable to bear.

Lord ALTHORP presented a petition from the Grand
Jury of the county of Northampton, complaining of the
sums of money paid for passing Irish and Scotch ♦agrants.
Mr. GARDNER bore testimony to the evil occasioned
by the necessity of passing vagrants, and the large sums of
money expended for that purpose.
Mr. GREENE concurred in this representation of the
evil. In the absence of a Noble Lord, he begged to say
that it was his intention to bring some measure respecting
this subject under the notice of the House.
Mr. C. FERGUSSON said that there was abundant
proof of the expence occasioned by Irish vagrants; but he
knew no examples of money thus spent in the conveyance
of Scotch vagrants. Scotland would be glad to maintain
her own vagrants, if she had none others to support.

Mr. MUNDAY, Mr. DICKINSON, and Sir M. RIDLIY,
gm their tratialony to the fact, that the expenre incurred
fer Scotch yhermnte WWI considerihle.

Mr. O'CONNELL thought that if Irish vagrants were
to 14 drawn from this country, their deportation should he
provided at the expence, not of the country to which they
were going, bet of that in which they bad spent their life
in labenr. There was another class of vagrant: he should
like to see transported to Ireland. He meant the rich
vagrants, who collected their rents in that country, to
spend them in foreign lands.-7(llear, hear, and a laugh.)

Mr. LYTTLEToN trusted the Hon. Member for Lan-
caster would soon submit to the House some measure to
remedy this evil.
Mr. DAWSON said, that with regard to Scotland, he
could show that invitations were often sent over to Ireland
for labourers to go.to Scotland, where they were wanted
to underwork the *tire labourers of the soil, and they
were then sent buck in a very miserable condition, after they
had served the purposes of those who called them over.
Mr. FERGUSSON observed that the Hop. Gentleman
must be mistaken, As Scotland ❑nfortunately possessed no

power of sending bark the vagrants to their own country.
Mr. GRIFFITH said, the Hon. and Learned lilember
for Clare W3S mistaken in the way in which he had spoken

of the Irish vagrants. They made a trade of this passing
and repassing between the two countries.
Sir IL HERON said a few words which were inaudible
in the Gallery.
General GASCOYNE declared that the Irish vagrants
were a grievous tax upon Liverpool. Ile thought an Act
ought to be passed declaring that every person who brought
over an Irishman here, and did not give security that he
should not become a burden to any parish, should be liable
either to pay a penalty or to have him sent back to Ireland.
Mr. SLANEY thought that the only mode of prevent-

lug the immigration of Irish vagrants here was to raise!
the condition of the peasantry of that country, and to place
them as nearly as possible on a level with the peasantry of
England.
After a few words from Mr. O'Connell, Sir C. Burrell,
Mr. G. Dawson, Mr. Benett, Mr. Protheroe, and Sir IL
Inglis, th• petition was brought np, laid upon the tabh.,
and ordered to be printed.
