THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, It/T. 31.—At Gloucester market, on the
26th, wheat was Is to 2s per qr cheaper : at Worcester, same
day, a reduction of Is per qr was submitted to. Barley very
difficult to dispose of. Fine oats in fair request, but all other

and the few sales reported in wheat and barley are at a further
decline of is per qr. Oats have been taken in retail, at former
prices. On beans the turn is in favour of the buyer, with ♦ery
little demand. Peas are held for former rates. At this day's
market wheat was again is per qr lower. Barley very dull, and
6d to Is per qr. cheaper. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans

in either.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Jan. 31.
THE ADDRESS.

(Continued from our Fourth Edition of last night.)
Sir JAMES DUKE—After the very able, full, and
successful speech of my Hon. Friend, I am sure that this
House will feel that I rise under no ordinary difficulty
to sec ,nd the Address which he has moved to her Gra-
cious Majesty. Sir, though I have had the honour of a
seat in this House now for some years, this is the first
occasion that I have ventured to offer myself to the
notice of the House, and I am sure, under these circum-
stances, I shall meet with the kind indulgence of the
House in the discharge of the duty which 1 have under-
taken with great reluctance—(Cheers)—with great re-
luctance from my sense of my inability to address the
House, but with great satisfactior, as a Member for the
city oiLondon,', in giving my cordial support and confi-
dence to her Majesty's Ministers, under the firm per-
suasion that they will continue to do everything on their
part to maintain the high character and peaceful in-
fluence of the nation abroad, and the contentment and
prosperity of the people at home, while, at the same
time, they will entorce reform and retrenchment in
every department of the:State, consistent with the safety,
and the honour, and the dignity of this great em-
pire.—(Cheers.) No one more deeply sympathises than
I do with our most gracious Sovereign, in her deep af-
fliction at the decease of her Majesty Queen Adelaide.
I fully concur in the sentiment that her late Majesty bad.
fully endeared herself to this country by her piety,
charities, and her exemplary virtues, and that berl; her
sale
will be long held in grateful remembrance by every
man,
woman, and child in this kingdom.—(Bear, hear.) H"
Majesty states that she recurs with great satisfaction to
the advice of her Parliament. The tirstth maaoting of the
h present Parliament arrived little moretwo years
ago' and I remember that on that occasion, instead of
the Hon. Mover congratulating theco house
to begin his
on the state of
which the country, he was necessarily m
speech by lamenting the great distress prevailed
in the trading and manufacturing districts of the king-
dom, many mills in that part of the country which he
represented being stopped, and the
.operatives thrown
out of work. I think I may feel justified in saying that
at no period in the history of the country has the House
met under more gratifying circumstances than at the
present moment. When we repeat that two years ago
the great commercial interests of this country had
passed through an ordeal which shook some of the most
potent commercial houses in the world, and threatened
ethers with a similar f Ate, I think we may congratulate
ourselves that in so short a time prosperity
of this country has been so firmly es'a.blsh edl
am happy to say, as the representative of the city of
London, that I believe at no period has the trade and
commerce of the City been in a Letter condition, and not
iu Loudon alone, or in the great commercial emporiums
of the country, but in the most remote towns and manu-
facturing districts we have evidence of an increased alai
greatly extended trade giving full means of employment
to the people, whose improved means and condition is
evidenced by the growing state of the revenue. At the
same time I deeply lament with her Majesty, that causes
t f complaint exist in the agricultural districts. I had
the honour t) represent a borough closely connected 1

with an important agricultural county, and from my
knowledge of the landed proprietors, and also of toe
farmers of the district, I confess I should be one
of the last persons to witness the distress of
that body with feelings of indifference. I believe the
farmers to be a peaceable, loyal, and industrious class;
and, as such, well deserving the favour cf the House.
But though I say that, I fear I cannot go further, and
agree with the means which have been suggested as a
remedy for the distress which prevails. I fear that, if
they were led to believe that this House could, by any
legislative measure, re-impose the duties which have
been taken away, they would find themselves deceived;
for I believe that the peop'o of this country could not
be prevailed upon again to have their food taxed, nor do
I think that any Government would propose it, or any
Parliament sanction it.--(Cheers.) I confess, however,
that, whey speaking e f free-trade, I am reluctant to say
much on the subject; because I have observed with some
pain that parties who are willing to believe that free-
trade has benefited the country, are supposed to be inimi-
cal to the agricultural interest. I fear it is supposed that
the repeal of the corn-laws was effected rather to
lower the landed interest—to depress the farmer, than to
benefit the manufacturer. So tar from that teing the
case, I am persuaded that nothing but the most over-
whelming sense of public duty, and the st.rn neces-
sities of the eountry, could have carried that mea-
sure. My Honourable Friend has said so much upon
this point, that it it unnecessary for me to detain
the House further with reference to it; but, without
referring to returns which were Bien to every other
Member of the House, I may re fir to one which I re-
ceived in my position as a magistrate of the city of London,
which shows not only that cheap food affords abundant
employment to the people, but that it tends to diminish
pauperism and to lessen crime.—(Cheers.) I hold in my
hand an official return which I received yesterday from
the governor of Newgate, and though my Honourable
Friend had already quoted similar returns, embracing
all England, I think that this return is the more striking
when we consider that the idle, the dissolute, and the
unemployed are generally to be found in the metropcli.
of the empire.—(Hear, hear.) The total number of
prisoners committed to Newgate from the Ist of
January to the 31st of December, 1849, were 2,964,
being a decrease from the previous year of no less
than 593, or one-fourth of the whole number. This
shows the diminution in a most striking manner, as this
gaol includes the whole district within the jurisdiction of
the Central Criminal Courts. I may also read a letter
which was not sent to me preparatory to any speech
in this House, for I was desirous to confine my obser-
vations to what I myself knew, and not to trouble the
House with information which was equally open to
other Members of the House; but I received a letter
yesterday from my Hon. Friend the Mayor cf Man-
chester, which I think of importance sufficient to de-
serve the attention of the House: —" I have a strong
impression that the operatives cf this district were
never, at any former period, more fully employed, more
comfortable in a social point of view, or better disposed
than now. The rate of wages is, I telieve, satisfactory;
and the cheapness of the necessaries of life, in food and
clothing, has wonderfully improved their condition.
The hat trade is rather an exception to this rule, though
but few people are employed therein, and the depression
is easily accounted for. I have never during the four-
teen months of my mayoralty had one hour's uneasiness
about the peace a the district. The speculation in
cotton, and its high price, now interfere with the pro-
spects of our master manufacturers and spinners, and I
think few are making money ; nevertheless the
trade of 1849 must, on the whole, be con-
sidered very satisfactory. Our own experience
in the home trade leads me also to think that the
demand from the agricultural districts has not
indicated that distress of which we have recently
heard so much." Now, if the general trade and busi-
ness of the country continues in this prosperous condi-
tion, it is to be hoped it will speedily find its aay to
agriculture; and, for my part, I see no reason to aetici-
pate that the present low prices for agricultural produce
will be continued. I remember when the measure for
repealing the corn-laws was passed through the House,
great apprehensions were entertained of an immense
supply of corn from the continent of America; but it so
happened, that recently, I met at Liverpool the
late American Minister, Mr. Bancroft, and ho gave me
his confident opinion that it was impossible America
could send any quantity of corn to this country, unless
prices ranged between 455. and 50s. per quarter. I do,
therefore, hope that the demand for, food will continue
to increase, and that in this fact alone the farmers will
find an improvement in their prices. At the same time,
I am most happy to concur with my Hon. Friend as to
the results of tree-trade in reference to the importation
of corn; because it was supposed that not one extra bale
of goods would be sent out of this country in return for
the corn imported ; that nothing but bullion would be
taken by foreigners. On the other hand, free-trade
has provel that at no period has commerce made so
rapid, so valid a progress as since the passing of the
free-trade measure, while the stock of bullion was
never so large, nor capital so abundant and so
easy in the commerce of the world.—(Loud cheers.)
But I will not dwell longer upon this point, except to
repeat my hope that the prosperity of the manufacturing
and commercial classes would soon be shared by the
agricultural interest. There is one part of her Majesty's
Speech to which it is my duty to advert—the expression
of her Majesty's gratitude to Divine Providence that the
recent visitation of the cholera has so soon abated; and
I am sure the House will feel tl at one of our first and
most sacred duties is, to endeavour to protect the health
of the people, who have shown, by their exemplary
conduct, that they are animated by feelings of obldience
to the law and loyalty to the Crown.—(Loud cheer'.) I
must also say, that I am highly gratified t, Lind her
Majesty contemplates en increase in the number f the
Irish electors; but, I confess, I should have been better
pleased if we had bra some intimation that a similar
measure was to be extended to this country.—(Loud
cries of " Hear, hear.") And I do hope that the Go-
vernment will even yet consider whether or not the many
towns still left in this country, which have neither the
privilege of a borough franchise, nor of sharing in the
county representation, may not now have conferred upon
them the privileges cf returning Members to Parliament.
I cannot sit down without r. ferring to the naviga-
tion-lawn, because I was one of those who voted
against the Government when the question was before
the House. I considered at the time that it was a ha-
zardous experiment, but I am now happy to find, from
the Speech we have heard from her most gracious Ma-
jesty, that several of the foreign powers have already
eonceded to us the advantages we have conferred upon
them, and that it is hoped others will take steps to fol-
low their example; and I am happy to confirm the state;
ment which my Honourable Friend has made respecting
the activity and progress that is now apparent in all the
dock and building yards of. the country, especially in
the port cf Sunderland, with which I was long con-
nected. At no time has there been so many ships in
progress, and at no period have so few been built on
speculation, but almost the whole of them to order,
being at the same time a class of ships that are fir Su-
perior to any that have been built heretofore. I may
add, that the energy, enterprise, and the character cf
British shipowners, as well as the class of their ships,
will enable them to maintain their superiority in the
carrying trade of the world. With respect to our foreign
relations, I heartily share in the feelings expressed by
my Hon. Friend, and I trust that the Noble Lord who
so ably conducts our foreign affairs, will still be
able to maintain the best understanding with
the Government of France, and to leave to us the bless-
ings ef peace for solve years to come.—(Cheers.)
shall not trouble the House further in secondingthe Ad-
dress; at the same time, I cannot sit down without con-
curring in the hope expressed by her Majesty, that by
combining liberty with order, by preserving what is
valuable, and amending what is defective, you will sue-
tain the fabric of our institutions, as the abode and the
shelter of a free and happy people.--(The Hon. Baronet
resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.)

Sir JOHN TROLLOPE would propose the addition
of a few words to the Address by way of amendment, to
express the wish of certain classes of her Majesty's sub-
jects at present suffering great distress, that their case
might receive attention. There was much in the Speech
in which ho cordially joined. No doubt there would te
general sympathy expressed with her Majesty at the
loss of her illustrious relative Queen Adelaide.—(hear.)
Our peaceful relations with foreign Governments was a
source of gratulation, as was also the desire ex-
pressed by some of them to meet us by conces-
sions in respect to the navigation-laws. As that
measure was now law, it vra; their duty to wish
it success. The next paragraph had reference to
the awful pestilence which had ravaged the coun-
try. He viewed the efforts made to improve the con-
dition and health of the poorer classes with plea-
sure. He considered those objects to be the para-
mount duty of a Government. Her Majesty's reception
in Ireland was also a matter of infinite gratification.
But to the next passage he made some exceptions:—
"Her Majesty has great satisfaction in congratulating
you on the improved condition of commerce and manu-
factures." After these words he would propose to intro-
duce the amendment he had read. All the agriculturists
asked for was a little of that reflective prosperity upon
themselves. With the exception of wool, the price of
the produce of agriculture was not augmented, but, on
the contrary, greatly diminished. Within the last few
months wool had risen in price from 25 to 30 per cent.
Regret was expressed that any class was suffering. He
hardly thought that complaints proceeding from every
part of the kingdom should be so lightly dealt with.
Large public meetings had been held allover the country
to expose the difficulties with which the agriculturists
had to contend. The meeting at Lincoln was attended
by 15,000 persons. After fair, but firm discussion, they
were unanimous as to the distress they laboured under.
Similar demonstrations had been made for the same
purpose all over the kingdom. He thought the once
powerful, but still numerous and important, body that
put forward these complants had not been treated
with proper respect.—(Loud cheers from the
Protectionists.) Not a word of comfort was there
for them. They did not expect sympathy; they
wished to make known to the world the precise condi-
tion in which the agricultural interest was placed. To
enter into a detail of facts would be tedious. It was,
perhaps, sufficient to say, that after they had invested
enormous capital in the improvement of land, they were
entirely thrown open to the competition in corn of the
whole world. Ile asked them again, whether that was
fair treatment ? Should not their complaints receive
consideration ? The agricultural were not justly
chargeable with apathy ? Look at the Crown lands in
the New Forest. There were 66,000 waste acres.
Could the Woods and Forests make both ends meet ?
Why, then, reproach them ? For thirty years he had
been laying out money on land. The great landowners
would not be the principal sufferers. It was the smaller
proprietors of land that would be ruined, To them it
was matter of life and death. They could not now sell
their land. No one in the present uncertain and gloomy
state of things would become the purchaser. There
.
were no buyers. This distress of those chimes would

eventually reach all classes, and if another enran'erircield
panic came, the crash would be treau ndou.. He eti7;ir
