mons. Vel;Ts'AVAirttri;. el. 7: that se-
veral of the. L,Lind who,
had they'f€•:. t.,wirke -defeating the
Bill, would nevex,-, the Amend-
ment, were thafri'eteaPollti<c their votes. We
regret to see them in such bad company ; but
hope they will yet see the necessity of prevent-
ing, while it is yet time, the miserable conse-
quences which would result from the disappoint-
ment of the great expectations of the people.
We have nothing to say to the Duke of Wel-
lington and his friends, who, no doubt, deem
every thing fair in war. We only wish to be
enabled to distinguish wolves in sheep's clothing
from actual sheep.
The evil may yet be remedied in the next
stage of the Bill.—Morning Chronicle.
An alteration of considerable importance was
made in a clause, of the Corn Bill, in the House
of Lords, on Friday night. Corn, generally, is,
by the Bill, admissible on payment of a duty.—
By the alteration it is proposed to revert to the
old prohibitory principle, and admit no bonded
corn into the market until the price is 665.
This alteration was proposed, we regret very
much to say, by the Duke of Wellington, one
of the Members of that Cabinet by which
the Bill in question (which has no connec-
tion with the present Ministry) was con-
cocted, and one of the greatest professed ad-
mirers of that excellent Nobleman the Earl of
Liverpool, by whom the Bill was drawn. The
Duke, indeed, states that he hail not attended
to the:details of the Bill. His Grace's negligence
in attending to a measure, which we should think
he must, from his present conduct, have deemed
a very important one, will not bear him out. His
amendment does not go to affect the details of
,the Bill ;it destroys its principle. The sinit
and substance of the difference between the pro-
posed and the existing law, is, that by the former,
foreign grain shall at all times, and under all
circumstances, be admitted into the home market,
on payment of a duty : and by the latter, foreign
grain, under certain circumstances, cannot be
admitted into the home market at - all. His
Grace's Amendment will place foreign grain in
bond in this latter predicament. It is not, there-
fore, an ignorance of details which it involves,
but a complete departure from principle. We
shall not say one word on the notable project of
giving a premium of 4s. in every 625. to tl4
foreign holder of bonded grain over the English
holder nor the necessary consequence, the de-
struction of English Bonded warehouses, and
the building of Dutch and French ones, for this
is a part of the details of his measure, 'to which,
we dire say, his Grace has not attended. The
remedy, however, is still open ; the Amend-
ment may be negatived, on bringing up the
Report, and in several other stages of the Bill,
and, we dare say, it will.—New Times.
