Mr. W.. HORTON assured the lion. Baronet there was

The SPEAKER here intimated futile House that he had die-

decide, whether it did not` reflect on the privilege of that House,
and'hedee render the Petition inadraissible in point of form. The
Petitioner stated, that itt'.cousequence of a pledge given by the
lien. Under-Colonial Secretary that the Petitioner should be per-

evidenee, the .floiese had deeliiied to give any reply to the request
of the Petitioter. 'Now' in his view of it, this was en inference
the House could not suffer to be drawn as to the influence stated
to be thus exercised.
Mr. Secretary CANNING, admitting the force of the Speaker's
decision on the point of form, said, lie however should not be dis-

derision endeavoured to. cast upon us. Whenever this subject
should be introduced to the notice of Parliament;' and which if
it was to be, he hoped would be early in the next Session of Par-
liament, because suspense was more injurious even than the enact-
Inca of the measure itself; they would regulate our interests ac-
cordingly, and make up our minds to endure an evil we could not
prevent. , But in this revision he should implore Parliament to
act with mature deliberation, and to recollect, that if they assisted
one class at the ex-pence of another,. they would not be dispensing
even-handed justice; to recollect too that Ireland in particUlar
claimed its •attention, and that if agriculture was depressed, it.
would he peculiarly baneful to that part of the United Empire.
Mr. H. SUMNER remained of the same opinion be had for-
merly expressed. 'To justify the House in adopting.these mea-
sures a strong case ought to have been suede out;.: but.Miniaters
had made out none... since the 18th of last month, one-half of
the Irish Membere,'who were particularly interested in the ques-
tion, had gene may. The importance of the subject was such
that it ought not to be decided without a call of the House.—
The effect of these measures had been already inj'arious to the
markets. The original proposition was for an unlimited discre-
tionary power, and when it was fistula that it would not go down,
it was changed. But how changed ? The Right Honourable
Gentleman said that it was net now an unlimited power, but a
power confined to the admission of 500,000 quarters of wheat.
This quantity, in addition to 1100,000 now in the Warehouses,
would amount to half the highest importation in any one year,
And when the agricultural distress of 1820, 1821, and 1822,
the effect of excessive importation, was recollected, he thought
the limitation as to quantity now introduced into the measure,
did not greatly improve its character. He thought,, it hard at a
time when the Poor Rates upon the ageiculturatelasses were
likely to. be increased by the.peramis hitherto employed in manu-
factories returning to their settlements, that their Ability to. pay
them should be diminished by the ailmiasion of foreign corn:
The Right Hon. Secretary for the Home IYepartment had not
touched this part of his argument. Ho had indeed,lteard no ;tr.
gement from that Right Hon. Qeutlentets,„ but
,isbat would be
equally applicable to every. dissolution...of.ParliaMent. ' lie was
determined to do his duty in that litiuseite. the.igricultural inte-
rest, and he,elioeld therefore certainly diridiitite. House.:upou the
present,question.
Mr. STANLEY•regretted the opposition this measure had ex,
perienced from the landed interest. He was sure that it was cal-
culated to excite prejudice against them in the entwitete. He had
been recently so engaguaf as to afford Itim the 'Opportunity of see-
ing the interior of the demeatic situation of • the suffering manu-
facturers. When he had seeti men working for 15 hours in the
day, in order to obtain Os,* tfe.'w week; when he had seen
them starVing with' theirinn tiii4 month after month, With no
more than,onc meal, and that of oatmeal, -in the day; when he
had witnessed the .exemplary patience, with which they had en•
dured their sufferings; and the' noble pride which, in many in-
stances, had deterred them front applying, for parochial relief,
he might be expected to come to this discussion with more
warmth of feeling, than those who hail not had the opportn-•
nity of witnessing tho"aettial operation of the distress. He
perhaps, like a drOwnineman, - was glad to lay hold of the first
straw that presented itself. From what he had seen, he might
hail with joy the first ray of light which broke upon the,
gloom ; but lie could not refuse his hearty approbation to
.the
present measures, which he thought calculated, at least in
Nome degree, to alleviate the actual physical suffering, upon
the unfortunate victims of calamity ; • and still more calculated
to diffuse the moral feelings of gratitude arid satisfaction. The
measure could net he, gild was not cousidered As a remedy to the
distreas, for it did not profess to. go to its causes, any more than
it could be considered as a decision of. the Corn Laws ; he de-
fended it only es a temporary and partial alleviation. He believed
that it was not expected in the distressed districts, that the mea-
sures would snake specs alteration in the present state of things.
Their animosity Was directed not against the Corn Laws but
against the Power tows; the effect of which, when depression
already existed, must be in the first instance-to' encrease the die-
fress of the I,lbooripg,popillation. ITO was surly thet these mea-
tures 044 Rik formil a partial alleviation, 11 any ; but they
were deiiiitble air showing a sympathy with distress, as calculat-
ed to soothe the irritated minds of the working class,' and-to con-

this ismeideratieb•iihine, hi Should feel thethe did injustice to his
feelings and his duty if he withheld from his Majesty's Minister*

Mr. ,BARING could not agree with his Ilont•Priend in ap-

because it appeared to him to he what P 9 one meld, read or

not know. The preeent sure also to' pisiover, an the eantumer;

the dealer, and the grower, were to be left without any other know-
ledge of what was to become of the price of corn, excepting that
it was at the disposal of his Majesty's Government. The Hon.
Member then contended that the Government had acted most in-
judiciously in touching the currency under the particular circum-
stances of the country. If they had left the ship to right her-
self, the distress would long since have subsided, they should
have heard nothing of the want of food at Manchester, and the
settlement of the question of one pound notes might safely
have been left to the next year. Ily the course pursued by Go-
vernment all the distress was aggravated. The measures they
adopted knocked from under 'all the little traders from one end
of the country to the other,. thirlittle capital upon which they
carried on their affairs. There had been no want of goods, or
of market, all that they wanted 'lves capital with which trade
could be carried on ; yet the Ministers ran heedle..ely and with-
out cause into a course whirls rendered capital far more scarce
than it had been before. He said this to sheW the HouSe'what
hands were to guide the reins:of that large and important power.
which it WIN now proposed-itnientrust with the Government."
Their conduct in respect to the present question had not been
more satisfactory. The difficulties of 'the manufacturing dis-
tricts bad long been known to exist, and nothing was done; but
as soon as a riot and some symptoms of insubordination took
place, down came the night lion. Gentlemati-4e would not Say
frightened, because their courage was equal fo*that of others—
but in what the country thoUght a Nubs to ask for these
extraordinary poWers. The distress had existed long before, and
the only alteration was that some degree of Insubordination had
been manifested. He understood that all the confusion awl alarm
which had been excited by the agitation of the currency question,
was to cud in this. He might be wrong, but be was informed
that the Committee over which the Right Hon. Gentleman at
the head of the Home Department presided, had come to this con-
elusion, that in England there Were'to be no, orie,pound notes, in
Ireland there were to be ,three pound notes, and in Scotland one
pound notes were still to continue. This was to be the beautiful
theory of our currency. He Was not then prepared to trust in
their hands, whatever respect he might have for the Rt. Hon:Gen,.
denten opposite, a power by which the price of food was to. he,
regulated by aiqoversonent which had siliewn such inconsistency
and vacillation:: If he were asked what measures could be
adopted 'to give relief at the present moment, he should have•
as much difllgiifty in answering as any one else. What he
thought, they ought to.do was, to apply themselves at once to
the whole queletion.sif

Bugs a quarter; and that was what he wished to 'eel! it... Yet, if
they fixed such a zloty bow, he should got be iurprined if next
year they were called upon to alter it. He did not know what
was to prevent the inquiry taking place now., In the early part
of the Session it a'a9 lead' that the mensure respecting the cur-
rency prevented it, because it was necessary to bring gold into the
country to supply the vacuum iu our circulation ocatMoned.by the
withdrawal of small notes. That objection could not now ap-
ply, because. by emptying the warehouses of Foreign corn, they
would now' be filled up again. According to Mr Jacob's re-
port, the supply_ of corn on the Continent which could ,be
sent here, was not very great; and that was because it had
not been grown with , the expectation of an English market.:
He should like to try the experiment now, while the German
corn growers had not supposed that we were dependant upon
them, and when corn could not be poured into the market• in'
pitch overwhelming quantities as to create any alarming coolie-
euencei to our own froducers. Therefore looking at the quell-

ing that not to be a sufficient .protecting duty to the agricultu-
riat. Upon this point also it had been stated by his Right Hon.
Friend, and he believed to the general satisfaction of the House,
that the reason of fixing the duty was, that there Was no inten-
tion-to alter the Corn Laws in any way tor this Act. He thought
the criticism passed upon the Hon. Member's speech, by -the
Honourable Member for Bramber was perfectly just. The Hon.
Member complained that in the absence -of inquiry and present
legislation, the agricultural classes would be left• in uncertain-
ty, that rents could not be valued, and that none of the ordi-
nary transactions between the landlord and 'tenant, or the.
grower and consumer, could be proceeded with. Yet in the.,
same breath he declared that the utmost they could do would
be to make an experiment, which they Might* be called upon to
unmake in the ensuing: Session. He was . perfectly surprised to
'bear it , said that the rent of land iti this country was entirely
governed by the state of the laws relative to foreign corn.—
Untioubtedly, ' the introduction' of foreign corn would have
some effect upon the value of land. But he was confident that in
all the debates which had taken place upon the questions, there lied
been no exaggeration so great, .on the part of both grower ann
consumer, as that Price was in any material degree• affected by
legislation. The Hem. Member recommended them.to take what
he called a very simple measure, namely, to go back to the Com-
mittee and sit there for half-an-hour, and the whole question
would be settled. Every body would be centented--there would
be no difficulty about principle-4nd the'valee of rents and leases
would be decided at once. If the Hon. 111:I.:ober really indulged
awl utopian expectations,: he 'feared he would find them very
greatly disappointed if brought to the trial. ''''' He did not intend to
fellow the two Hon. Members into 'all.the details, but he would
say one word as to the cuirenty. He did not know,' after the
effects of that ever speculation, which had been going on for a year,
and after the failure of sixty or seventy country banks, and when
there was no longer any credit left in the country—..he did not know
in.what way the 'Government could interfere with a remedy, or
how they could tits well restore confidence as by providing against
a recurrence of the' wane evils. 'He knew not what those Hon.
Members would have done, bathe had heard nothing 'suggested
from which any satisfactory result could have been 'looked for.
When they thought it right to bring forward their budgets, the
House would be able to judge of the remedies which they had
to. propose. He :was surprised. at . the apprehensions exptossed
by the lion. Member-for Bridgmiteh, ,that an alarm would be
raised uniting th4'groWers of corn. , If, indeed, the Parliamentary
meesuret,yould have. that effect, he would grant thht the reason-
iugs of the Hon. Gentleman were right. But it should be re-
membered that there 'was another ground of alann--nainely, a
deficiency-in the.quantity of corn, which would be necessary for
the support of the country till the neit year. 'Now those two
causes could not co-exist ; while one clam of persons apprehended
the deficiency, to which he pointed, and required adoption of
suitable measures, a second class called upon the House to guard
against the other cause of alarm. And yet in whatever degree
apprehensions were entertained with regard to a possible de-
fic,iency in the quantity of corn, the result must be a rise of
,prices, while an apprehension of the other sort must be productive
ofa fall.: Such a quantity es 800,000 quarters (which was all
the wheat ,at present in bond) could not have the effect of
Creating any great depression. He had before stated that even
a very considerable quantity could not affect prices. In this, he,
alluded, to
,the. 400,000 quarters to which the discretionary
power !Wits limited ; .and his Right Hon. Friends had sheWn that
it was a measure to be acted on, only accordingly as the'eirtrum-
stanetsi of the times might render it necessary. Some :Hon.
Members were for regulating the limitation by the prices, and
the Hon. Member for Shaftesbury was for imposing a duty of 20e.
while objections were variously raised by others against a stand-
ard duty and a standard price of corn. 500,000 quarters were
Said to be all the grain that could now be found in foreign,parts.
This he thought could he best ascertained by reference to the re-
port of Mr. Jacott;' but in the nature of things that quantity must
vary, . and when once called into demand it must necessarily in-
orease,:' and 'be supplied by a quantity, even to twice the stated
amount: • God forbid that the evil which the measure was de-
-,eigned to obyiete should occur; but in the present state of things
,would shy Man take npon,,him to say that it ought to be left un- '
,tiegardoa; ' Fort an instOce of the expeilieney of precaution in a
t aselike 'the present, he *ousel recur to the.period of 1816. The
harveenlef that year was a miserable one, and yet the ports were
not opened till, the lfith of November. Though Corn was at the
price of 100 s. It was impossible' to open them for the three .montlai .
which intervened from the July preceding,., when the first pres-
sure of the scarcity was felt. Unless then it could be shown that.
a deficient harvest was a thing of rare ott-orrence, such as fell out
once perhaps in a century, and not such as might be expected to
happen within the space of ten years, they could not rationally re-
fuse to concur in the measures now before the House. lie Was not in-
sensible to the wayin which the question affected the relations of
atielety, as of landlord mid tenant ; but lie challenged the warmest
.:advocate of the Corn Law to say whether he would 'leave the
country under its operation for 10 weeks, without any remedy for
the evils Which it might occasion. Ile did -notindeetl anticipate
the inisfortune ; but;lts. 'bare possibility Was eimigh to justify
them in.making prowl/drm against its oeourrenoe, and the state of
the country, called upon- them to look with
,favour upon the pro-
-1,04(41 measure. The testimony which, the Ilon., Member for

for Taunton, they were likely to allay the uneasy 'fo'sling which
now pervaded the nation. .

Sir E. KNATCHBULL concurred in many observations of
the Right •Hon. Gentleman, particularly, au to the inexpediency,
of the time for going into the general questidn. He was surprised
that Government should bring on the present question, as the
Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs mug have known that it
wou,l4.iniVitably bring on a discussion of the whole law relating
to the sullied:. had nit heard a single statement to convince
him of.the benefieial effects of the measure, which would be sure
to throw Ilium on the landed interest. He thought it more ex-
'pedient thalGovennetit should act on their own responsibility,
and afterwards call fur an indemnity, if it were required. To. the
matisUrnitif liberating • ihe bonded corn he had no objection, but
he' could,not make any further concession. In'this lie spoke the
sense of a very large body of agriculturists. ' • •

Viet OF iliii 'debate, I ikehie concluding topiiii of • the IlinioUrable

Government have choice. They can accomplish the object in
view by a permanent alteration of the law, as recommended
by the Honourable Member for' Taunton- (Mr. 13aritig),.. alur
others ; or they can devise some measure adapted to the par-
' ticular case with which they are called upon to deal. Tlie hot
means, of which Government have the election, are, .. to act_
either upon their own unaided, unsupported discretion, or by '
the previous advice of Parlimient, Now, Sir, I hope it will
be seen that I have fairly stated the case.—..(Hear, hear !)-1(

there is any one in this House who will maintain the prop.-
aition, that the extreme provisions of the Corn Laws may now be ,
carried into operation, there will be a fair issue between his Mit--
jesty's Ministers and him. Such a one will be a just and fair.
antagonist ; and he will be at liberty to say that the whole of oar
proposed' course of legislation is vicious. But, until that propo-
sition shall be maintained—and often as Hon. Gentlemen have

been challenged to come forward and support it, no one has been -
found to accept the challenge—the reverse may fairly he assumed'
as undeniable.—(Hear, hear, hear!)—Why, Sit, even the Hon..
Member for Brecon (Col. Wood), who is the only one Wito has-
approached any thing near %o maintaining the proposition I
have adverted to, even he has varied in his proposals, for he
has risen ss. since the last debate in the price at which lie
would allow the opening of the port. 4. He, Sir, who would
have the Corn Laws permanent anti unaltered, has agreed,
pro hac rice, that the restrictive price should be altered .from
80s. to 70s. The other night, Sir, the Hon. Gentleman bad
the price down as low as 65a. ; but this morning came a letter
to me by post, expressing a hope that I should come into his
proposal that 70s. should be the rate at which corn should bar
admitted, and all would be well. I suppose, Sir, that the ,
lion. Gentleman having gone out of town since the last de•
bate, and having an opportunity of looking into his field*,
thought' that 10$. would look much better than tiss., riot so
substituted, without a word. tof comment, •the one sum fot..the
