Sir IhNIIY PARNELL rose to move the °Eck'
of the Day for taking into consideration the c.
port of the Irish Corn 'Committee. The utility,
he said, of-pursuing such a plan, as would render
Great -Britain and Ireland independent of foreig:l
supply, was obvious to, every person. With re,
spect to Great Britain, it could be no longer de.
nied, that if:more capital were employed in agri-
cultural pursuit, the quantity of corn must bi
considerably increased. The allowance of" ex•
portation of. this edible from Ireland- would eon:
tribute Aothst:4loine effect. After taking a View ol
the different systems adopted at former periol,
of our history, and shewiag, from the Report i>.
the Committee, the eflectt of free exportation
as contrasted with the practice of importing corn,
he declared hiinsell lit favour of restrained inipor•
jation. If the ports of Germany, Poland,
were thrown open, corn might be imported theuct!,
so as to .undersell the Irish corn growers in the
market of this•country. ,It then hecame it gues•
tion of, policy, whether the Government of Icatg-
land should give,an advantage to foreigners,
pay for the iMprovement of other countries, fn
give to Ireland such advantage, and iiuluove that
country. The latter course, he contended,.
that which ought to be pursued, as any thint:
tending to enrich Ireland, would return to bsnefit
Great Britain. He was favourable to the'fre:
exportation of corn, aS recommended by the Cum-
mittee, and thought it.. would be beneficial to flu
country to permit its exportation it a hl het
price than that at which it was now allowed toiu
exported, as the present arrangement made it ne-
cessary for corn-to fall 30s, in the quarter helot;
it could be exported. The Hon. Baronet we'll

proposed to submit to the Committee. fle parti.

of them, which was of a new character. This re.

mittee on that day three mouths. He procc:edQ,,
tomake some observations on the. Report of the
Committee, in the course of which he contended,
that the measure proposed to remedy the higl
price of bread went to increase the evil. Witt,

parts of Ireland, in the year 181:1, to have amount,

tion; and this was the time chosen for briuginp
the subject before Parliament. Ile urged man)
objections to the report, and contended: theta
never was a report produced on a subject of suet
luau-nail/le, founded on such slender evidence m
the present. He could 'not approve of going int(
the proposed Committee so late in the Session
`and therefore moved -as an amendment, that tht
House shOnld go_into it,on that day three months,

Me;:ROSE declared he had bad no conversatioi
out. of doors on the subject with any human be,

might be expected to:produce effects very dillerein
from those ‘yhich be (Sir'H. Parnell) hoped %void(
result from them. Permitting corn to be export.
ed at a higher price than was,at present sanctionet
by law, he maintained- was virtually to raise tip
price of corn. He was against fixing the price 0
corn at a high rate. If this were done, the pay o
the manufacturer must be increased, and dont;
this they raised the price of ,theic manufactures

Mr. _
ratsTox was in_ favour of going into ;
Committee, as the likely means of promotingtk
increase of agriculture an enabling uus to aepeili

on orir own fesrearees for supply, instead of a pre-
carions dependence upon the continent,
Mr. Rosa andr. PansTotv mutually explained.
Mr. BRAND was also an advocate for going into
the Committee, in order to give the subject fair
consideration. He thought the measure the best
that could possibly be -proposed, for providing a
permanent supply to meet the wants of the peo-
ple at a regulated price. He was not, however,
sure that he concurred with the Hon. Mover as:to
the extent of the price to be fixed, before permit-
ting importation to he resorted to.
Mr. Alderatan ATKlNs.was against the motion,
nod the .question ought to be postponed
till next Session, .when 'further evidence being
examined, anti information obtained, the House
might come to a right decision on this most im-
pottant subject.
Lord CAsTI.ratEXOR Spoke lb favour of discus-
sing the question now,. when it,,was not likely to
infloence the state of the,..tuarkets, and.could be
considered dispassionately.:7-11e,waa not aware
that further information wasinecissivy, and held
it to be most desirable to prOvide by this measure
against the great variation to which the price of
grain was liable from the foreign market, being at
one time open to us, and at another time shut
against our shipping. He was also of opinion
that the scale of prices must be advanced, though
it was a 'very difficult point to soy item much.
On these j,,Tourols he would vote. for going into
the Committee, and would hereafter be regulated
by eircionstances.'
Sir JottN'NEWPORT was for discussion, and itn-
mediate decision.
Sir W. CURTIs was against going into the Com-
. Mittee, and thought the farmers ought to be sa-
tisfied with the high prices they at present re-
ceived.
The. CHANCELLOR of the Ex6lTEctur.a approved
of going into' the Committee, as it was better to
in testigate the matter its this manner, than send
it abroad for popular discussion. It wasmost de-
sir thle to establish a steadiness of price in grain,
which he was convinced this proposition would
effect. 'The great fault of our system bad been,
that by giving bounties on importatiOn from the
tear of scarcity, -re had, for the relief of immedi-
ate necessities, cut off the permanent sources of
supply. This ought to be remedied.
Mr. Hoawaa supported the other side of the
question, and maintained that we had flourished
under the circumstances of hawing our corn laws kr,
dead letter, and in spite of all the exertions of the
enemy to shut us out from the Continent. He
was, therefore, not afraid to trust to the same
sources hereafter, instead of adopting the pro-
posed measure, the sole effect of which would he
to raise the prices of grain and the rents of land
in this country. He, therefore, strongly con-
demned the motion altogether, and the resolution
on which it proceeded. He would vote for the
postponement of the Cominittee.
Mr. Etrzozaa,Lo replied to the last speaker,
and observed, that we had merely subsisted
from the prohibition of the distillation, 0 and
that ~Veai not a . state of supply fit for the
coantry,to pliottil in., Ile also denied,. that
-'the object of the measure Was to raise the price
of subsistence, or that it would leave that effect.
Mr. Housten explained.
Lascl;w3 thought that the Report was
not sufficiently. intelligible ; sold that the Com-
mittee shonld hi postponed to themext session.
Mr. Cioocn and Mr. CAREW 'staid a few words.
Sir H. PARNELL replied at souse length after

PAIMEIt'S CLAIMS.
On the motion for a Committee of the whole
House npint Palmer's per Centage
Mr. Rose spoke at considerable length against
the claims of Mr. Palmer, and he rested his ob-
jections on the conduct of Mr. Palmer himself,
who had violated his engagements.
Colonel PALMER said, that in the Select Com-
mittee, Mr.' Palmer had been acquitted of any
fraudulent iutentioo. He then read several duet],
merits and extracts of letters, the 'tendency of
\Odell, was to justify the conduct of 'Mr. Palmer.,;
and shoved that thvlisrespectful erAduct of that
'Gentleman townrOlte Postmaster-General had

A protracted discussion ensued oft this question.
