In a speech which denoted an orator young,
Said in all the King's aaions, at least for ten years,
His mental idirtni!y plainly. appears.

Thus whisprt'd the House, in an audible tone,—
" Sure the Member tiargets, while his passions so work,

AKEN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE 01 TIIE WHOLE

Boost:, TO_ WHOA! IT WAS REFERRED, TO CONsI:-
DEII CiF THE SEVERAL. PETITIONS, WHICH DAVE
BEEN PRESENTED TO THE HOUSE OF Co.vlk!ONS„
IN THIS SESSION OF PARLIANZNT, AGAINST THE
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

1 Lrcurij,.29- die Aprilis, 181 S.
BABINGTON, ESq, in. the Chair.

Mr,. T. ATTWoOD called in and examined.
[Continued from our Paper of yesterday.]

Besides t.he heavy .stock of goods at I.,iverpo.-rl, are
there not also goods to a large anibunt in Birmingham
itself, waitiog for the same `opening ?—To arleast
double the amount,.
Da you think the manufacturers. of Birtninghana
would tear the competition of any 'country-whatever
in theit manufactures, Where the trade was ~pen ?
Experience has shewn them •the.re is .no reason to
fear that.
You Have stated the great falling off of the trale•of
Birmingham since the comMerrcetnent of .tf,e re-
strielitkps of its trade to Arne.rica, and th.elos of that
trade attsige!her since the 2. d of February ; can yt
.state to the House th •t. any ~rater foteign trade lit
the mannfat'.'.lures of Birmingham has increased, or
improved dtating that time ?—Certaitiiy, no other
foreign trade has increased ;, but all our foreign trades
to the best of my knowledge have decreased since
that time. ;
•
. .

You stated, that the Whole Birmingham Mantr-
faiStures to Amei ica were froin 8 90,000koone
lion, what do you belietie to be the amount of the
same sort of minuf36tures exported Ito the West
Indies ?—Birmingham manufactures exipoi!ed to 'the.
West Ir,diei are very in amount.; I believe
there lino West India merchant irr Birmingham,
and I never yet knew Birrnlngharn goods exported,
toady great amount by any individual,. except Bir.
minglimn merchanig; I have knowg, very large
amounts of Birmingham goods Sent by Birmingham
Jadors to Glasgow, and to Bristol, and to Edinhro',
which I hate understood to be shipped principally to.
the United States of America, ,by the,Olasgow mer-
chants. •

Are you aware, or do you happen to know ,of
any other articles of iron ware, bat those made at
Birmingham, which are seat to the 'West- Indies t
I apprehend that the. hardwares that the 'hardWares
-which reach tbe.West Indies, go eXlnsively, or al-
most so, through the medium of the London
Merchants; but I cannot believe that the amount
is very considerable ; I dot believe that there is
100,0001. worth of hardware's goes to the West In-
dies annually.
. Can you state any other &uptries to which Bir-
mingham tnanufattures go ?-1 state, that- probably
about 000,0001..0r one-tilth•Of the Birmingham-exports to the United States of America, may be ex-
ported to South America, and difThr'ent parts of the
'Continent, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Malta, Hello-
land,, and the ports of the Baltic.
You do not mean that any part of those_iron
manufa6tures which went to America is sent from
thence to any part of Europe ?—No.
What do you believe to be the whole valtie of
iron manufaNures sent to the Continent of Europe
altogether from Birmingham'?—lndeed the whole
exportation of Bi,tmingliam 'goods to the Continent
of Europe is very small ; it is scarce worth mention-

ing.-
When the trade was open, what was its whole
amount ?—lf could nut be rime tnan 200,0001. a

year.
What proportion of .the e:lortatrin of Birminc;.;
ham articles gees from the purl of Liverpool ?—The
great bulk of thern
Nearly, the whole ?H-Nearly the whole. •
• You have stated, that very considerable manufac-
tures are rising in America, 'of steel, and the article
of nails.; can you state whence he 'fuel is obtained ?
--;There are coal mines, 'but wood is inexhausiible,
and is very preferable for these minulattures.
know that some years ago from two to fo..tr honAred
ton, of steel per ,annum were exported to the United
States of America, which was worked up into some
specie; of manufacture ig the United States; it has
not been since. that one-half as much as it and
the rea;on ,I understand to'he tint they manufacture
the steel themselves.
11, what part of America are, the coal mines you'
speak of ?—I really am not acquainted with xyhat
part they are in. .
[The witness w7..s dire6'ted to Wiihdraw.,
[The witness was again called in.]: ,
You have stated, that 'yon did not Apprehend
there was any ground to fear competition between
the manulattures.of,l4.:ngland ind those of the Con-;
tinent if the trade was °pea; have you ever hea“l
that it has been thought necessary to have prorea-s.
ing duties • here for !hp manufactures of GzrMatty
imported into this Country,. to •prevent their being
sent through this country to our foreign .colonies;
anti to other places, where they could not .ko but
through this country ?—I really am not, comptent
to.answer whether they have .been found neces:i ,ry
or nor'; I have heard thßt there are such duties,- but
I know•nothing at all of them.
In order to complete 'assortments from Birming-
ham, are not goods sent from Sheffield With th-Jse
of BirMingham• to America ?—A- few, Slieflield
goods are sent with goods from Birmingham. '
A few and things of that kind have
no doubt they are.
Do.'you rnt know that there is a, groat dell of
very expensive machinery used in the iron- trade ;
can you give any estimate of the sum sor.k•in ma-
chirterylA complete set of iron-works,- a cotni-
derable.set of iron-Works, cannot be erected for legs
than .50,0001.
Can you give any thing like a cOrretil account of
the number of such eStablishments in Birmingham ?
—;ln the neighbourhood of girmnrgham I should
consider that there are, at least leo sets of-iron-
workthat have cost at least 50,0001. besides
,many
others of less amount; all their capital is now lost,
unless circumstances ethane.,
'How many of those are Vinally employed now ?
—The greater part of them are employed in some
degree of, •,wotk, orob,bly not more tnan.ohe half :
whenan iron;work is ereaed, and a large ca.ital
supli in necessity forcei the proprietor to-work it
