Westbury (Mr. Wilson) into his argument. It was
wiser, in that prelitninery stage,.to confine themselves to
the simple question, should they reject all progress 10
the matter or not ? for that was the proposal of his
Bight Hon. Friend—a proposal to which he (Mr. Car&
well) ventured to oppose himself. In Committee be
hoped they would hear every reasonable proposition for
improvement which either side might suggest, and be
trusted that eventually they should arrive, with the
general concurrence, at a final, conclusive, and at the
srme time saf and satisfactory settlement of this most
difficult and most important question.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HENLEY con,idered that the argument of the
Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down abounded 10
inconsistencies and fallacies. The Hon. Gentleman bad
warned them to look to the long-voyage trade and to
their warehousing system. What did the Hon. Gentle-
man say? " you don't make some relaxation in your
navigation-laws, the American ships will carry cotton
into Russia." Was it not open now, he (Mr. Haeley) would
ask, to America to do something in that way ? The
Hon. Member, after adverting to the warehote.,os;
system in this country, and to the observations of tile
Hon. Member for Liverpool on that breech of the gees"
tien, directed his attention to the argument of the lion-
Member for Westbury (Mr. Wilson), which also
abounded, he said, in fallacies, and in which he (Mr.
Wilson) cut his own throat, for his argument cut both
ways. (Hear.) The Honourable Gentleman the
Member for Westbury had thrown over altogether
the question of reciprocity. He said that the fo'
reign countries referred to had given us all they could
give us. Well. if this were so, why did they resist the
clause in the Bill in reference to reciprocity? Were they
going to legislate a lie? The Hon. Gentleman thee
contended that the commercial marine of this country
had, under the navigation-laws, kept pace with the cow'
mercial wants of the country. If this great experiment
did not succeed, in what situation would this country
he placed? Unless it did succeed, and unless the coal'
mercial marine of the country could be upheld, the
country would be placed in a most perilous position, 20
the event of an unexpected rupture taking place between
this country and foreign countries. He wished here 10
ask the Government what they intended to do with'
respect to impressment? There was also another qua"
tion which he wished to put to the Government. They
did not propose to put the shipowner on the same
footing as the foreign shipowner. How did he
show this ? They relieved the British shipowner, it was
true, as far as the apprentice was concerned,
but they did not do so as regarded the man-
ning of the ship, therefore they did not place the
British shipowner on the same level with the foreign
shipowner, and the consequence was that the former
would be placed in a false position. If the supporters or
this Bill meant it to benefit the public and the British
shipowners, as they said they did, why was it that they
did not throw open the coasting trade? If that trade
were thrown open, there could be little doubt but the
consumer would gain by getting coals cheaper. If they
were honest in their statement, that by allowing the
shipping of foreign countries to come into competition
with ours as regarded our foreign trade, we woug
thereby increase our shipping, then the same principle
must apply with equal force to the shipping engaged in
the coasting trade. Why, then, did they not throw that
trade open? The truth was, that they were making an
experiment in which they had no confidence, and they
were therefore afraid to carry it out to the full extent,
lest it should break down altogether. Was it therefore
wise, when there was no immediate necessity for this
measure, to which their largest commercial towns were
opposed, to press it forward, and to do so merely tocarrf
out the principle of free trade.

Mr. dLAIiSTONE moved the adjournment of the
debate until Monday next.
Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to the motion
the understanding that no further adjournment iihouid
take place.

111 i. KER made some remarks amid much noise Oa
laughter, to the effect that he looked at the question as
very doubtful one, and he could not give the Gown'
ment much credit for having used any very great coil'
sideration about it.

Mr. DISRAELI inquired if the Noble Lord could OS
make an arrangement more convenient to Hon. Memberi
than the one proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman tilt/
Chancellor of the Exchequer, with respect to the re'
sumption of the debate on his resolutions.
Lord J. RUSSELL would see before Wednesday if
it were not possible to fix an earlier day than Thursday
next.

Mr. DISRAELI replied that Thursday would be s
vury convf•rdent day.

Lord J. RUSSELL could not say positively that
Thursday would be named, as there were other motions
which would have precedence.
Mr. DISRAELI said, as the subject was one of great
importance, he hoped, under the circumstances of tbe,
cue, that Hon. Members who had motions would ne'
object to postpone them in his favour.
The Summary Conviction Bill was read a secorl,l
time.

• TITHES.
Mr. HUME, in the absence of Mr. Aglionbit
moved for returns "of all agreements for the corn'
mutations of tithes, which have not been co 0;
firmed by the Tithe Commissioners, in the several
counties of England and Wales, specifying in each oese
the legal or other cause of hindrance or preventiot
to the confirmation thereof, and how long such cause or
hindrance or prevention has existed and continued, since
the year 1836; like return of all awards for the cow'
mutation of tithes not confirmed, with a like return of the
cause of hindrance or prevention to the confirmation
thereof, and how long it has existed since 1836; like
return of all apportionments of rent charges which have
not been confirmed, with the legal or other cause 0:!f
hindrance to the confirmation thereof, and how long 1$
has existed; and return of all parishes or townships, or
separate districts, for the commutation of tithes, in which
the tithes have not been commuted, and the cause 0f
hindrance to the commutation:in each such parish, town'
ship, or district since 1836."

The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Twelve o'clock.

TIIE NEWS VENDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.'
Yesterday evening a meeting of the general committee,
and subscribers of the above institution, founded in 1839'
for the purpose of granting temporary relief and per-
manent assistance to masters and servants engaged 9'
venders of newspapers, who, from age, infirmity, and dis-
tress. may require the aid of the benevolent, was held 0
the Newsvenders' Hall, Black Horse-court, Fleet-street,
for the transaction of general business. The annual re-
port cpngratulated the members on the satisfactory Pre"
press the society was making, whereby the committee
had been enabled to make their present funded stock
,to
amount to 9501. Three per Cents. The receipts, 10;
eluding the previous year's balance, subscriptions, sou
donations, amounted to 140/. 17s. 2d. The expenditure
was 118/. Bs. 9d., leaving a balance in the treasurers
hands of 22/. Bs. sd. The report concluded with s°
urgent appeal to the members of the trade to help the
indigent, worn-out, and helpless newsvenders.
COST OF WAR IN TIME OF PEACE.—In the first
forty-five years of the present century, we had fourteen
years of war and thirty-one of peace. We have a debt
of 800,000,000/. accumulated by war, and yet we hay!
expench,d 500,000,000/. in further war expenses, lastest'
of paying off our unhappy obligations, And our preSefll
war expenditure in time pof peace is such, that it p
would
pay off the national debt in forty years, interest e]t-
eluded. If to the direct war expenditure we add the 11'
direct--the interest upon our debt—we find that this
would pay off the debt by instalments in less than
twenty years.—Stamford Mercury.
