AGRICULTURE.
Earl GREY presented a Petition from certain of the Owners
Zllsi Occupiers of Land in the County of York against the
3/°111,4 Importation Bill. He' himself saw no prospect of alle-
-`
6411 to the sufferings of the country, as connected with agri-
ulture, from the provisions of the pending Bill. While no-
eig this point, he wished to remind their Lordships that he
bad intended to have moved for a further and greater reduction
the taxes, and that he ostponed this motion in contem-
finati°ll'of what might possibly be accomplished by the other
Ljuse• The measures so expected had since come before their
r"thips, but proved most inadequate to the desired end; and
if he at present had abandoned his intention, he begged theii
tiordsliips to understand that this relinquishment was not in de-
e!ence to an unworthy juggle in any form. Let things only
144, their course, and their Lordships would presently have to
deklre the transfer of landed property to other hands' to the
4triment, if not the destruction, of the authority of that House.
He hoped that after this remark, it would not hereafter be
Voted against himself, that he had failed to protest, as far as
I,s °Pinion could go, against this measure ; but he despaired,
"Y making a specific appeal to their Lordships, of doing any
4"I, though he hoped most sincerely that the results might
Prove better than his present fears.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL had not risen to take up their
4.`Ships' time, but he would not suffer the remarks of the
uAc'ble Lord to escape all-notice from the side of the House
I)°,11 which he had the honour to sit. Whenever an oppor-
,„iil'lldY should occur for meeting the discussion, on even the
ost despairing view, he trusted that he should be found ready
enter the lists, and support his own opinion. No man could
r'ssibly regret that change of property which the Noble Lord
tirnated more than himself ; but it was one of those calami-
- tre4 more likely to ensue from pushing our reductions to an ex-
. eble than from any other cause. Before he sat down, how-
rer, he wished to advert to what he understood to have passed
in his absence. He had stated, with respect to the second read-
ing of the (Corn Importation) Bill, that he was ready to have
, .Petted his opinion at the second stage of it ; but it was wished
a' defer the debate till Friday, and not to debate it to-morrow,
mh all days were alike to him.
Ater a few words from the Earls of LAUDERDALE and
i 0..7P,P00r., it was agreed that the Bill should be committed
Mood ridaY, and also that the third reading should 'stand for
i.—Noble Lords were directed to 'be summoned.
