Mr. WALLACE; for the convenience of the House, an, he
persons out of doors, begged leave to state the course whirJAThe
intended to pursue with respect to the Warehousing Dill. ;

most anxious to forward the progress of the Bill,
sent stood for a second reading. From the great quantity °to`
business before the House, he found it would be imposaihl,
pass through its several stages until the beginning of Julep to
period too late, he feared, to permit the measure to go ti,.„Pre,
the House of Lords, 'and be discussed there. He there.`"the
reluctantly, had come to the determination of ostponing
P der-
Bill till next Session. He wished it, however, to be tie
stood, that he was now, as he had always been, fully convitt`—,,,
of the advantages which were likely to result to the coune,rc,"'
manufactures, and every interest of the country, from the alai's;
tion of the measure, and he gave the most distinct pledge on
he would take the earliest opportunity in the ensuing Sessi.e.

The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving,, of
amendment to the order of the day for the second reading
the Bill, that it be read a second time this day three months'
Mr. RICARDO regretted that the Right lion. Gendeljr,
intended to withdraw the Bill, the operation of which he. to

Ricardo) believed would be found to be extremely benefiel7o,
the general interests of the country. He hoped the Right to
Gentleman would redeem the pledge which he had giv,l'.bit
bring forward the measure next Session. He begged the the
Hon. Gentleman would take into particular consideration 2.„
state of the silk trade, which'at the present moment was labto
ing under peculiar disadvantages. He believed that if 'Poi,
trade received proper encouragement, it would be able to silk,
petewith foreign countries. It appeared to him that ours „of
manufacturers were not so much injured by the competiw,,—ths
the fair trader as by the contraband dealings, which werether
result of the high duties imposed upon importations. An°7s
great grievance which affected the silk trade was the Spitalfiel
'Act.
Mr. ELLICE felt obliged to his Hon. Friend, the Melubbert
for Portarlington, for having directed the attention of the Rigs',
Hon. Gentleman to the state of the Silk Trade. He trust, 'n
that, previously to the measure being brought forward all„1,
next Session, the Right Hon. Gentleman would be able to
nounce the intention of Ministers to reduce the duties upon c,
raw material, and take other steps to protect the silk-mane e%'
turers from the danger to which they would be at present
posed by foreign competition. 1114
Mr. GRENFELL also expressed his regret that the Itf
Hon. Gentleman had abandoned the further prosecution %La

have taken place upon the measure, would have removed re,
the public mind the false impressions which existed with
spect to it. on
Mr. WALLACE', in reply to what had fallen from pre'
Gentlemen opposite, stated, that in the interval between thf,lttle

would become the object of his most serious consideration•calio

privations, not one of the least of which was the being et"-
