Government could not take the management of the Com-
mittee upon themselves, there was not a Member of the
Administration who would not be most anxious in 10°.
mole the enquiry by every means in his power. The
question, the Noble Viscount justly observed, was not one
of party, and he trustsd it would not be made so--it was
one in which the interests of all classes were deeply con.
cerned. Although he could not hold out the hope of app
extensive measure of relief to the agriculturists, the intro'
duction of the subject into the KING'S Speech,and the nese°
of the Government to the appointment of the Coanittej:
rig
would convince them that Minister's sympathised in 61_1
distresses—distresses which were not confined to the ",
culturists of this country, but were largely participated
by those of France and Holland. On the subject of the
currency, Lord MELBOURNE repeated the declaration Ingle
ill the House of Commons by Lord JoHN Rusegil"'
that the Ministers would on no consideration lend their
sanction to
y measure that could in the slightest degree
endanger the prosperity of the country, either by increasing
the amount of paper money, or by debasing the coin.
Lord ASHBURTON said that he could not conceive 10
the Committee could devise any imaginable measure which,
could give the agriculturists the relief they sought. Oa'
more could they have than a monopoly of the consumPtil
of the country ?—and that they now had! to the grea
specific for agricultural distress, there never was a reater de'
lusion than to suppose that that distress would be relieved
B
by tampering with the currency. So far indeed front t""
farmers being benefitted by a depreciation of the currency'
they would be the greatest sufferers by such a measure, an
its effect would be to reduce the value of the protection
which they now enjoy from the Corn Laws, from Os' °I.
655. to 40s. or 455.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER was for a repeal of t"
Corn Law, which he thought acted injuriously on the ill;
terests of the community, as all monopolies do, while it Zia
confessedly failed in the object for which it was enacted

namely, the keeping up of prices.
Lord WINCHILSEA could not be brought to acknowledge
that he agreed in the resolution passed at the first Meetiogs
of the Grand Central Agricultural Association, " Thad
prices must either be raised to burdens, or burdens lowere
to prices." The Noble Lord did not relish the idea of $
spunge. The landed interest, he said, were most desirous
of keeping good faith, but " if they could no longer Pey
what was to be done ?"
Lord WYNFORD then made a few remarks, after which
the CHANCELLOR put the question, which was agreed t°'
and the Committee appointed.

We are compelled, by the 'pressure of Parliamentarysija

other matters, to defer several articles till to-morrow. j
We see, by the Vote Paper of thin morning, that of
Stanley is occupying himself with the private business
