ENGLISH SILK MANUFACTURE.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE. held a Report of
the Committee on Foreign Trade, on the subject
of Silk and Wines. He did not expect that any
general measure 'could be adopted this Session,
but lie trusted he should stand excused with
their Lordships whilst he briefly described the
subject and the nature of that Report. Its prin-
cipal part referred to an important domestic ma-
nufacture, and he had no doubt their Lordships
would be highly gratified with the information
which it contained respecting the prospects of
that manufacture. As the views of the Commit-
tee were favourable to a great existing interest,
they were more likely to meet the views of Par-
liament than those which, although equally well
grounded, happened to be in opposition to ether
existing interests. In saying that they were fa-
vourable, however, he only meant to say, that
that favour was consistent with every principle
of public economy. Their Lordships would not
be more gratified than surprised to learn, that
the extent to which the silk manufacture had
been carried in this country, had been such as to
create a new demand for labour. That manu-
facture had been established under particular
circumstances, and had been originally supported
by prohibitory laws alone. But yet, for a con-
siderable period, 'it had been compelled to draw
the raw material which it consumed' from those
very countries whose manufactured silks were
prohibited, and had thus laboured under a kind
of dependence which operated as a powerful
check on its prosperity. It had since happily
occurred, however, that it had been enabled to
draw its supplies from a part of the world placed
under the British dominion, and to receive those
supplies twice, and even three times a-year. The
consequence had been, an, increase on the part of
the silk manufacture in this country to an amount
which was scarcely credible. It was well known
that the manufacture of silk had always been a
favourite object of French policy. Yet, much
as our manufacture had to contend with the en-
couragement given to, and the general taste for
French silks, it was a fact not less important
than true, that the quantity of raw material
now used by the silk manufactures in this coun-
try was greater than that consumed in the
whole of France. The amount imported from
the East Indies and from Italy into Great Britain
exceeded by several hundred thousand pounds
what France produced and imported for her ma-
nufactures. It appeared from the official state-
ment of the French Minister, that the quantity
of raw silk grown and imported in one year in
France was two millions of pounds ; whilst that
imported into Britain, in 1820, amounted to two
millions and an half of pounds, and the actual
value of the silk manufactured here was ten
millions sterling. A convincing proof of the ad-.
vantage of adopting the principle of a free trade
would also be found in the fact, that from the
moment when a free trade had been admitted to
the East, and the efforts of individuals had been
allowed, there had been a progressive increase,
not only in the quantity, but in the quality of
the silk imported and manufactured. The first
point to which .'the Committee had directed its
view was the duty en the raw material.. With-
out venturing to hope that any considerable re-
duction could now be made in that duty, the
Committee trusted that their Lordships would
see the propriety and importance of relieving the
silk manufacturers from the grievance of paying
enormous duty on the raw material. A large re-
duction of that duty would immediately create
an increased consuription in this country, and
large exportations abroad. With respect to the
drawbacks allowed on re-exportation, so much in-
convenience and so much expence must be in-
curred, to obtain them', that those on small parcels,
and the trade was chiefly carried on in small par-
cels, could not be obtained at all. The silk-
manufacturers did not wish to rely for protection
on tl►e continuance of the present system of pro-
hibitiotis. They confidently stated, that if a duty
were imposed on Foreign Silks, to the amount of
affording them cornpensatien for the increased

price of labour in this country,
.and if the duty
on the raw material were lowered, they- would
be prepared and desirous to stand the compe-
tition with the French silk manufacturers, both in
England and for exportation. It was indeed al-
ready. known, that in the United States, and in
other parts of the world, a preference was given
to our- silks over those manufactured by the
French. There was another point which the Com-
mittee recommended to the attention of their
Lordships. The place ,where our silk manufac-
tires had been established, Spitalfields, was now
subject to an Act of Parliament, authorising Ma-
gistrates to regulate the prices of the workmen,
and to interfere in..such a manner as to make it
impossible foe any silk manufacturer, however
intelligent he may be, to introduce any new ma-
chinery, not enly at Spitalftehls, but in any other
part of the country.. The...rogeit of this Act was
to prevent all the improvements which had been
made by the French in their silk manufactures
from being used in ours There now existed in
England a machine, the exact copy of one invent
ed in France, and considered in that country as
the most perfect piece of machinery ever applied
to the manufacture of silk, and yet it could not
be used, on account of the existing Act, There
.was no doubt that the Act itself was intended to
secure the parish against the increase of the
poors' rates ;-but the mischief which it did to
the silk manufactures more than counterbalanced
the good which it was intended to produce, and
would justify its .repeal. On. the- whole, the
Committee trusted that their Lordships would
think the. British Silk Manufacturer entitled to
their attention on every prin'ciple of political
economy. The other part of the report related
to the Wine Trade, and though the inquiry had
not been extended so far, under present circum-
stances, as it might. have been had any change
been contemplated in the existing system, yet
their Lordships would and that much interesting
information had been collected upon the subject.
The Noble Marquis concludetl by Moving that
the Report be laid on. the table, and printed.—
Ordered.

The Marquis of LaNsnowN then gave notice,
that after the Recess he should call the atten-
tion of the House to the Foreign Slave Trade.
The Earl of DARNLEY postponed his motion
respecting the Stationary Office in Ireland, to
Monday, the 18th inst.

IRISH COURTS OF LAW.

Viscount SIDAIOUTH moved the Order of the Day for
going into a Committee on the Irish Courts of Law Feei Regu-
lation Bill.

The Earl-of DONOUGHMORE moved, that before going
into a Committee, Counsel should-be heard at the. Ear in sup-
port of Clansey's Petition whist the Bill.
A long conversation ensued, in which Lord Becks&le, the
Marquess of Lansdowne, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of
Limerick, and Viscount Sidinouth, took part, and at the dose,
-of which it was agreed that Counsel should be called to tb, Bar,
and instructed to confine himself to the point, whether the
Petitioner held his office under a patent, or merely during
pleasure ?
The House then resolved itself into a Committee, and Coun-
sel having been called to the Bar, Mr. Blake appeared and
spoke in support of the Petition. Counsel having withdrawn,
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE opposed the whole prin-
ciple of the Bill, and expressed his intention of throwing every
obstacle in his power in the way of its passing into a law.
Viscount SIDMOUTH stated, that the Noble Earl already
had discussed the principle of the Bill again and again, and
wished to know, as the House was in a Committee, whether it
was his intention to object to any particular clause.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE objected to the whole. and
moved that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit
again.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if the Bill were fit
to pass; the clauses were not objectionable. The fair course to.
pursue would therefore be, to discuss the propriety of the
passing- on its third reading. He should now move that the
House do resume, and that the Bill be taken into. further con-
sideration on -Wednesday next, on which day he should incve
that the Standing Orders of the House ;be suspended, in order
that the Bill should be allowed to pass through more then one
stage, the same day.
The motion of the Noble and Leaf' ned Lord was then agreed
to, and-the House resumed.—Adjourned to Wednesday.
