CORN ..INg MALT.

The CILINCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
took notice of a Petition which had been presented
on the isth of Feb. last, on behalf of a great class
of Persons who were growers of Barley and Malt-
sters, grounded on a complaint against the. existing
Law, for imposing a Duty on Malt by the last At
of. Parliament upon that subjed ; that the Corn Act
also was extremely inadequate in its. provisions, par-
tial and oppressive in its operations, and highly inju.
rious to Agriculture, and, praying that
,the -whole of
slit bystem way be rcvibcd,tice. He-had reason fot
believing that this subject would undergo a thorough
investigation; in-the Most effectual manner by those
who were the best qualified to form a corred opinion
upon it ; for' • which- reason, in-order that the Public
might have the full benefit of their labours, he in.:
tended at an early day after- the approaching Easter
Holidays, to SubMit the stibjed of thiiTetition to
the consideration Of a Committee cf that House, so
far as it related to Complaints against the Corn..
Ad of the jsth of. the King, and that,stich Com.
mittee should consider the matter thereof, 'and de-
vise such alterations as may be necessary according

to existing circumstances.
Mr. POST. EP wished the Right. Hon. Gentle.
Man to extend his views further, and to takein
the whole syitem of the Corn Laws as they now
stood, both wish regard to England and Ireland,
and put the whole Law into one regUlar and solid
system, for that the last general A& which applied
to that subjea had produced some injurious Ofetts
upon Agriculture, whiCh had been impeded in its
progress in a manner which had not ben felt before
the passing of that Law. We thought it -his duty
to throW this out as a matter for the serious consi-
deration of that House, and of the Right Hon.
Gentlemen.

ApDINGTON said, that this was a sUbje4

which was under the particular attention of a Right
Hon. Friend, of his in that House, and which,.
would bring forward for the attention of Pcir'dlac;
'tient; and the House would then have to coos' he
whether they would go into a Committee upon .tun
broad principle which the Right Hon•
had stated, or give instruetions to a Committee how
they were to take the subjeet into consideration. a
Mr. CORRY said, it was in his contemplation
to hire brought the subjed under the considela"
lion or Parliament on the renewal of the Pct, &C:c
Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of to
Committee of Ways and Means. Gentleman
The Resolution which was for raising VI
Millions by way of Loan on Exchequer Bills, be
read, agreed to, and a Bill was ordered to
brought in pursuant to it.
Mr. CORRY moved the Order of the Day on the
Irish Countervailing Duty Bill.
The Bill passed through a Committee of Ll':
whole House, and the Report was ordered to b
received to-morrow.—Adjourned.
