of food, and thuse forcing an unenviable, and, he would
say, a dangerous contrast, as the people well knew it was
their interest to get cheap food, and it was the landowners
and lawgivers who alone debarred them from having it._.
(Hear, hear ; Question ; Divide.)
Colonel CONOLLY spoke amidst loud and continued
cries of " Question." He was understood to say that he
spoke in favour of the interests of all the parts of the em-
pire, and not merely in favour of Ireland or as an Irish
landlord. He hoped the House would not attribute to
him such an unworthy motive. He objected to the duty
of 10s. a quarter, as 1 kely to injure the whole empire.
If it were the intention of the House to maintain faith with
the public creditor, it was necessary that it should also
maintain faith with the agriculturists. If the manufac-
turers expected relief by despoiling the farmers and the
landed interest, they would find thetwelves much mistaken.
As far as Ireland was concerned, he was sure that no better
way could be found to dismember the empire than to di-
minish the advantages which Ireland enjoyed for the only
produce she had to send to the English market.—(Loud
cries of " Question.")
Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY was sure that the people
would not get food cheap by having money taken out of
their pockets. He knew of one manufacturer who em-
ployed three thousand men a day is iron works, who
wao persuaded, that to take away the protection from the
agriculturists would injure the manufacturers, by causing
a general depression of trade.—(Again loud calls of
" Question !")
Mr. HANDLEY regretted that the subject had been
brought forward, but he regretted still more that the No-
ble Lord had made a most tempori.ing speech. In his
opinion there was too much legislation in all these matters,
and men should be left much more than at present to their
own discretion.

Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET stated that his con-
stituency were favourable to the continuing protection to
the agricultural interest, although many of them were ma-
nufactures.—(Question.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT attempted to address the
House, but was not listened to. There were loud calls to
" Question" and " Divide." The Hon. Baronet tried in
vain to get a hearing. At length he said that the House
was not in a fit temper to discuss such an important ques-
tion, and he should recommend that it be referred to a
Committee up stairs. He believed a free trade in corn would
be a great benefit to the consumer ; and he would have a
free trade in commodities of every description without
any regulating duties whatever. He would vote for
the amendment of the Hon. Member for Middlesex.

Mr. HUME, finding a considerable difference of opinion
on the subject of his amendment, begged leave to with
draw it.—Amendment withdrawn.

Lord ALTHORP said, as the Hon. Member had with-
drawn his amendment, leaving him free to take the course
he wished, he begged leave to move the previous question.
The House divided on Lord Althorp's amendment—.

and ordered to be read again that day fortnight.

the House adjourned at one o'clock.
