tt'nt'of pauperism existing in that parish. A proposition
had been made that her Majesty's Government should
• m.
not orris these matters into their serious considera-
ti i, but should devise some means for relieving the dis
tresses of the country. It was now twelve- months
since the Right Honourable Baronet had taken
'dive- He' had, at that time. asked for time te,
onsi.ler the measures he might deem it right to pro-
pose ; • and now, atter twelve months' consideraJon
he would ask the Right Hon. Baronet what. Measure 11(
was prepared to propose to relieve-the distresses of ti-:.
country. There was one subject which showed the dis-
tressed state of the metropolis. Ile had had an oppor
tunity of seeing one of the largest pawnbrokers in Lou.
don, who stated that such was the demand for mosey,
that many of the pawnbrokers had refused to •advance
money for goods, its‘ their capital was nearly exhausted
They used to •advance 3d. a yard on cotton goods noe.
they eould not advance even 14., because they Could buy
those goods at 2d. n yard. It was nut only the poor.t
classes who were suffering distress— the shopkeepers also
felt distress severely. Thlsy said there never was a tint
when there was so little money in, circulation, or wh,
orders were so unpunctually paid lois ..Persons who had
heretofore been in a good line of busjpess were now in
distress, and looked forward to the ensiling winter with
most painful feelings. They were not likely to have t
plentiful harvest, and if, as he believed, not more than
two-thirds the corn had been sown this year that had
been sown last, he was at a loss to imagine how any
good could result from any measure which did not in-
clude an importation of foreign corn into the country.
Pauperism increased as the price of corn increased.
With respect to the late alteration in the Corn-laws, he
believed that the principal advantage to be hoped filin
it was, that it would open the Nay for a still larger mea-
sure of reform. He hoped that the time would come
when no duty would be levied upon foreign corn, except
a merely nominal one for purposes of revenue. The changes
in the tariff might perhaps ultimately produtesoniebenefit;
but they could not, for the present at leasf; cause any
reduction in meat, butter, or the other .great necessaries
of life. The only other :great law that had passed this
session was the Inconie-tax ; and that was. a measure-
which would only tend to aggravate the evils under which
the country suffered. , . • •- •
Mr. BROTHRRTON said that he could bear his tes-
timony to the distress which prevailed in 'Manchester
and Salfurd, the seats of the cotton manufacture. • There
never was such general- distress among the working
classes as at present. Letters which he had recently re-
ceived informed him- that workmen in almost every
branch of manufacture were constantly thrown cut 0!
employthent. ' Inst-ad of being employed, many
of the. people were in a state of starvation, quite
devoid even of the means of emigrating to an-
other country where they might find employment.
With regard to improvements in machinery, he had ne
doubt it was a cause of throwing persons out of employ-
inent, - In seventy-five establishments -in Manchester the
same
.number of mills which, in 1829, employed' 2,650
persons, in 1841 employed only half that number. It
was also said that-joint-etock.banks caused the distress.
But it was the dearness of food which induced the manu-
facturers to have recourse to machinery, and do every-
thing which would lessen the cost of production; and the
distress prevailed where there were no ;pint-stock banks,
so that that could not be the cause of it. The cause was
that stated by the Hon. Member for Leeds. It was the
dearness of food. The cost of bread from-1838 to 1841
was 80,000,000/. dearer than from 1833 to 1836, and the
withdrawal of 20,000,001;1. a year- from trade must do
much to cause the distress. When the fiiod was de:li
the price of wages was kept up, and when it was
dear employment fell off.—(Hear, hear.) Prosperity
could -only be insured. by cheap food ;. in 1834,
1835, and 1836, there was a surplus in ,the public re-
venue; in 1837, 1838, and 18:;9, there was a deficiency;
it appeared, therefore, that the revenue was- in a more
healthy state in cheap years. It had been asked would a
repeal of the Corn-laws stimulate the trade of the coun-
try; he believed it would. The Right Hon. Baronet had
expressed his surprise that in such a state Of distress
there should be new mills in the course of erection; Why
-this would be the case under any circumstances, as then
were always improvementsgoing on in machinery, which
enabled those who possessed the latest improvements
to enter into further competition with those already esta-
blished. At the present time he believed that such'.
improvements were going on. There might also be an
increase in the amount of exports, but it was sent out
of the country at less profit. He found, by reference to
the population of five of the principal agricultural
counties, equal to that of Lancashire, that the amount
deposited by the former in the saving' banksvas doub'e
that of the population of Lancashire. That was suf-
ficient to show that the constitution of the agricultural
population was superior to the condition of the manu- 1
facturing population ; and such a result could only have
followed front the injustice of class legislation. He gave
the Government some credit for the commercial changes
they had introduced ; but he was persuaded that if their
policy had been still more liberal, they would have con-
ferred far greater benefit on the country at large. He
cordially supported the motion then before the House.
Mr. JAMES was not an advocate for the total repeal
of the Corn-laws, although he thought that an Bs. fixed
duty would be preferable to the present system. He did
not believe that the inquiry moved for by the Hon.
Member for Greenock could be attended with the
slightest beneficial effect, and he should, therefore, yote.
against the motion of the Hon. Gentleman.
Lord HOWICK was not prepared to vote for the
motion then before the House, although he felt much in-
debted to the Hon-. Member for Greenock for having
brought it forward. He thought it an advantage that
the state- of• the country should have been submitted to
the consideration of Parliament ; but he did not
think that • the proposed inquiry could lead
to any beneficial result.—(Hear.) He was aware
that Parliament had the- power of introducing measures
which might relieve the prevailing distress ; but it wit

were few parts of the world which would not take more
our manufactures than they did at present ; the only
difficulty was to find the equivalent which we could
take in exchange for them. He went through a
variety of details of the woollen and silk trade, to prove
that the present distress was not caused by competition

the preqent distress it was necessary to bear in mind
hat the manufacturing population were the best cus-
tomers for articles of manufacturing skill, S 9 that when
they were distressed the.effect was more perceptible than
if the suffering prevailed among the saute number of
the agricultural population. The distress of America
hail not arisen front her being deluded by philo-
sophers,-, of the . now school, but or the opposite one.
There was no means of extending our commerce with America,
but by taking their corn and previsions in exchange for our
manufactures. Besides the condition of our trade with America
there were -other causes of Wur commercial diteress. 'i here
was our position in India, and the withdrawal of capital from
trade and its application to the purposes. of war in that
country.. `then, too, there was the war with China. Whe-
rher the manner -in which our relations with that pople- would
be ultimately settled would- improve our commerce with them
remained to he seen... With respect to the Measures of the
Government—the Income-tax and the tariff—the former coal 1-
but injure trade, and the latter would benefit it but
very slightly. The only advantage,. indeed, - derivable
froin.the latter measure was it showing the tendency of the
Right Horn Baronet towards liberal measures. With releet
to the Corn-laws, he thought it matter of regret that, the
fixed duty proposed by his Noble Friend had not been adopted:
It was far preferable to the sliding scale, and would ultimategy,.
he had no doubt, lie made the law of the land. As for the pro •
position of a free trade in corn, he did not think there was env
vround for the tears entertained of its proving ruinous to the
farmers. The price of corn under a free trade would never be
lo wer than 50s. per quarter. There was then no reason to appre-
hend such ruinous results from free trade. Similar apprehensions
ha I been entertained formerly with respect .to lowering the
do-y on wool, and yet experience had shown that the diminished
duty had worked beneficially to the agriculturist. If they
would return to the old principles on which the code was for-
ni•rly founded. they would lop • off two or three millions of the
poeelation of the country. The population had within ashort
pekal increased by a million, and-if employment were not ob-
tailed for those people, they would be compelled to abandon,
not only their sliding scale, but all agricultural protection
whatever. Even at the present time the farmers were convinced
that the present change in the Corn-laws was but temporary.
Mr. G. PALMER was of opinion that it was not the price
of corn which caused the present distress, but our vicious system
of trade. which excluded our manufactures from almost every
market in the world. The- Hon. Gentleman went on to show
that the exports of cotton goods and other manufactures had
increased, and therefore it was not from wanting a market that
the distress arose. He believed it proceeded rather from a
vicious system of accepting the bills. of the manufacturers,
whether in Liverpool or elsewhere. The home market
was the most important to them. it constituted • six-
sevenths of the whole trade of the country, and they
ought not to sacrifice it for the other one-seventh.
The Hon. Gentleman-who spoke last alluded to population, and
expressed his fears that it would increase more rapidly titan the
food which was to supply it. In the year 1796, when the
p ipulation was not near so much as it was at present, the peo-
ple were in the utmost distress and destitutim. It ought to be
recollected that God never Fent more mouths into the world
than it would be able to feed.—(Opposition cheers.) But
that food must be produced at home, and they were not to
look to other nations for it. Her Majesty's Ministers knew the
state uf the country, and would legislate for it accordingly. He
did not therefore see the object of the present tbscussion.
Mr. E. ELLICE said that the House would not regret tie
Motion of the Hon.- Meinber for Greenock, if it only occasioned
the excellent speech of the Hon. Member for in-erness.—
He agreed with the lion. Member who last spoke, that God
never sent mouths into the world without sending food to supply
them i but if that -was the case, why were they now
;.ufferin7; so much distress when the rest of the world was teem-
ing with.what would supply them?—( Cheers.) What was it
but an unwise interference with the bountiful providence of
God ?—( Hear. ) lie agreed with his lion. Friend that one
great cause of distress was the decrease of the American trade. j

Ttut what was tl.e cause of it? He thought it was to be
found at home. He considered it waspartly occasioned by the
measure passed with regard to the currency. He would not
allude to this if he (lid not see symptoms of the same kind at
present. After the year 1819 the distress became very great.
In 1825 a calapse came—they had exported all their gold.
From 1822 to 1e425 they gave a stimulus to increased credit,
and consequently to increased production, and then came the
crisis of 1825. Subsequently to 1825—he believed in I€l34—they
did the same thing. They made an offer of a million of money
to South America, the consequence of which was that they
had a large trade with America, which being founded
on a vicious and insecure basis, could not be permanent.
'The same thing had taken place in every part of the world.
This was one of the main causes of the present distress. While
they attacked. North America as the main cause of the present
distress, they should not forget that the original cause had been
in this ountry. In the depth of the present• distress, he saw
preparations making for a similar revulsion. In one month the
dank of England had added two millions to the circulation.
Had there been no tampering with the currency? Tnere had
been no increase in the circulation of the country banks during
the same period. If there were to be another issue of paper,
the country would be hardly able to' recover from the collapse
which would be the consequence. He thought the Right Hon.
Gentleman did well to keep the subject' of the circula-
tion in his own keeping until the time of the renewal
of the Bank Charter. lie looked with jealousy to the
administration of the eurrency by the Bank of t ogland.
He would rather have it administered by Government ;
but most of all he should like to see a currency regulating itself.
At all events, nothing could be worse than a currency adminis-
.tered by a Government and a Bank tcgether. He thought the
measures with regard to the currency had occasioned a great
deal of the present distress. He believed the Bight Hon Gen •
tleman had been driven to a Property-tax by necessity, much
took off the duty from articles of consumption and raw material,
as he disapproved of a tax upon

Gentleman had, in fact, carried out the measures of his (Hr.
Ellice's) friends. With regard to reducing the duties on
manufactured articles, he doubted if it was right to attack
the glover, the shoemaker, and his (Mr. Ellice's) constituents
the silk weavers—( Cheers)—while they were not permitted to
have food at the same moderate rate as those with whom they
were called on to compete. He thought it moat safe to begin

factured articles. He Was not so zealous a free-trader as to dis-
regard what other nations did towards us, more particularly as
related to manufactured articles. Feeling the pressure under
which the industrious classes were suffering, and believing they
had a right to have the cause inquired into, he should vote for
the motion.

,
manifest that the House 'h lnad made up its mind as- foe
commercial changes which they were disposed to adapt
in the present session. He had no wish, therefore,. that
their sittings-should be prolonged ; but he did hope that.;
if the distress continued after Parliament had been pre-
reeiued, the Government would call them' together again,
before the close of the present year. He trusted that, if'
the late changes in our commercial policy proved ineffec-.
tual, the Government would be ready to adopt, as a last
resource, that policy. recommended by their predecessors,
-and-above all, that they would be ready to introduce a
considerable change in their new Corn-law. The pre,
veiling distress could not be effectually met by the
contributions of charity ; an increase of employMent
for the industrious classes, manifestly-the only remedy
for the evils under which the country at present so
deeply suffered. The argument of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, in
favour of the alterations introduced in their tariff by the
Government, was, that any increase in the impo:tations
from foreign countries must be accompanied by a corres-
ponding increase In the exportation of the goods manu-
factured in this country. But the same principle applied
to every other article as well as to the importation of fo-
reign cattle. In one way or the other, by legitimate or
clandestine trade, it was absolutely certain that whatever
increase took place in importations from foreign countries,.
must be met by increased exportation from the country.
An increased .exportation of our manufactures would
increase the amount of employment for our labourers.
And how, he would ask, under these circumstances, could
they refuse to allow of the importation of foreign cattle
and foreign sugar, and above all, the great staple article
of corn? He believed that the period the new•Corn-laa
had been in operation had been sufficient to show that it
a as not suited to meet the purposes for which it had
been designed. The present law had not, any more than
im
portations
of law which it superseded, caused large
of foreign corn at the time when such importations were
most desirable, namely, when the price was rising in
this country. Corn was still kept back in the hopes that
it might after a time be introduced at the minimum duty.
The new law had, besides this disadvantage, that it did
not allow any considerable importation of corn from
America. That was a most ruinous evil. The best
market of this country was America ; and under the pre-
sent state of our commercial legislation, every monetary
derangement in the . United States was severely felt in
England. No doubt, the late monetary derangements
in America could not be attributed solely to our Corn-
laws ; but he was persuaded that the English Corn-laws
were in some measure the source of the evil. In the
year 1836, and for some years following, a gr.at impulse
was given to the enterprise of the people of the United
States; 'canals and railways, and other great worksovere
undertaken in that- country ; and English capital and
English goods were remitted to America for the com-
pletion of those works. In return for these remittances,
we received nothing but paper Money, the payment of
which we never could ,count. upon. The last return
which we could receive from America in return for our
manufactures. would be: their agricultural produce,
and that . • return could not be made under our
present Corn laws. He believed that a fixed duty
upon foreign corn, even though it were greater in amount
than he thought it would be prudent it should be made,
would produce a beneficial effect by placing on a sound
basis our trade with. our best customers, the people of
the United States. Every argument, which the Govern-
ment had used in justification of the proposal they had
adopted relative to the importation of foreign meat,
would justify the adoption of a similar course with
respect to the importation of foreign corn. He was per•
suaded that if they allowed the importation of corn from
either countries, such a measure would not materially
affect the interests of the British agrloultnrist.
He believed that this country did not. now
raise an =Mint of corn sufficient for the wants
of its inhabitants ; and it was his conviction that if they
were to repeal the Corn-laws, that step would be fol-
lowed, not so much by a decrease in price, as by an in-
crease of consumption, He was persuaded that the
effect of admitting; foreign corn now would be, not to
lower the. price, but to increase consumption. It would
at once give employment to those engaged in producing
the manufactures whinh that corn would be paid for in ;
but the advantages of this would he far from stopping
there. At present they reduced their expenditure in
pvory direction, but as they got employment they would
increase their expenditure, which would give an impetus
to trade and commerce of every ideseriptton. Under the
general depression the shopkeepers hid been econo-
mising, and both they and the master-manufacturers, by
a system of action and re-action}, would partake the be;
nefits of returning prosperity. He was iitre' that
the Right tion. Baronet was' aware that 'he
was not stating any clap4rap or exaggeration
to the Rouse. "under these circumstances he still be-
lieved that a relaxation in the laws regulating the impx-
iatitan of food was the one practical remedy for . the pre-

in as great distress as the manufacturing interest. lie
knew how much the House disliked to hear an y details
regarding the shipping interest, but he could assure them
that the shipping interest was suffering the deepest distress.
The number of seamen employed, both in .the foreign and
coasting trade, had grossly diminished. The shipping interest
attributed the distress under which • they laboured entirely to
the reciprocity 1 iws, and he (Sir C. Napier) entertained the
same opinion. He had always been of opinion that such must
be the e evitable operation of the reciprocity treaties. He did
not blame either the late or the present Government for the

little good by the alteration in the Corn-laws wh;ch he had
effected ; and the new measure was as effectutl as the old one
in keeping out foreign corn. He believed that would ever be
the inevitable result of a sliding scale, whieh left the corn
trade in the hands of a few speculators. He felt assured, for
his own part, that the present monopoly could nut be maitVained;
and that the growing wares of the people would compel any
Government to repeal it. With respect to the Wig of the

universal condemnation of the system. Having stated his.
views on the subject, it only remained for him to declare his
intention of voting for the motion of the Hon. Member for
Greenock.
Lord PALMERSTON said that he regretted he could not
vote for the resolutions of his Hon. Friend. He could not
vete for those resolution's, for the reasons stated by his Noble
Friend the Member for London (Lord John Russell), because
lie thought the motion so - broad, as worded, that it was open
to -considerable objection. But he would assure the Hon. O. n-
tleman and the House that if he could not vote for the motion
it was not that he was insensible to the distress to which it re.
hated, nor incredulous as to the extent to which that distr. s;
prevailed. It was impossible for any Member who had
listened to the statements made in the course of the present
debate, or who had attended to the facts brought before his
eyes and to his ears, to deny that there did exist in
the manufacturing districts of the country greater and
more severe and extensive pressure from distress at
the present time than, perhaps, at any former period.
There was no person more anxious to alleviate thet distress
than he. But he expected the Government would have stated
some views of applying a remedy to the distress, and not bate
confined themselves to praise-s of the people for their patient
endurance.__( Hear.) Were they to go and enjoy their Lieu-
ries in a few weeks, and p-epare for the partridge shooting,
without affording, any relief to the people ?—( Cheers.) But it
might be said that the Government were trusting to the eotnilig
harvest. If so, lie could tell them they were trusting to a
broken recd.__( Hear, hear.) The summer sun would not
compensate for the rains of autumn, by which the produce cf
many a seed was lost.--( Hear, hear.) It might be sail that the

What then would give it? They proposed- remedies last year :
which would mitigate the present destitution of the country.
The channels of commerce were choked up. Clear those chan-
nels, and prosperity would flow in their eourse.—e(Cheers. )
The trade with North America had been alluded to, and great
distress was produced in consequence of the people of America
not being able to meet their engagements with this country.
But America had plenty of corn to pay them if they would only
allow it to enter the countrv.—( Hear' hear.) The late Go-
vernment had proposed to deal with the duties on sugar, and on
this subject he heard of some mysterious negotiations carrying
on with the Brazils respecting the slave trade. There were
treaties already in existence between tl.e Brazils and this coun-
try, which, if faithfully executed, would put an end to the slave
trade; and if the Government found that the Brazils would not
listen to their remonstrances and violate the faith of treaties, they
could point to the case of Portugal, and show that Parliament
was ready to give power for the purpose of enforcing them.
He had always admitted that a duty might be levied upon
corn and sugar, which would afford a revenue, while, at the
same time, it would leave trade free and unfettered. Those
were the remedies which they proposed to the Government,
and the Government ought to explain before Parliament sepa-
rated what their intentions were, whether they intended to
propose some measures to relieve the distress, or to leave
things to take their course until the distress should have
reached to a still deeper extent. The distress originated in
causes within our control, and the removal of those causes would
restore us to our former state of prosperity. At the same time
he did not think our commerce with the Continent of Europe
would undergo any great alterations. Political jealousies would
prevent nations so situated from acting on sound commercial
principles. Gentlemen who complained of the non-ratification
of the French commercial treaty were little aware of the power
of commercial jealousy in France. Those feelings had produced
a great effect during the Administration of Count Mole, and
recent events had shown that those feelings had not diminished.
Our Corn-laws had raised up• manufactures in Germany ; and
it was to distant nations—the nations of America—that we
must look for a revival of our commerce ; but in
North America they were met by the Corn-laws, and in South
America by the Sugar-laws. They should look to Africa, to
India, and China. -Notwithstanding what had fallen from an
Hon. Gentleman opposite he ( Lord P.) contended that the
measures •of the late Government had produced beneficial
effects on the commerce of the country. The measures adopted
with regard to Affghanistan hid opened a vast field of commerce
into countries watered by the Indus--( Cheers)— and in Central
Asia, and if the present Government did not, by their weak.
ness--(Much cheering)—abandon that position which the fete
Government had obtained for them—(Great cheeting and
counter cheering)—those countries world be found to be of the
greatest commercial importance to this country.
( Cheering and counter cheering.) But he did not think
the present Government would abandon that position, or
that policy—(Cheering, and counter cheering) _and he
thought so, because surely the present Government would not
have requested Lord Auckland to continue as Governor-
General of India, if they had not approved of his conduct,
and had not determined to continue his policy.—( Expressiou
of dissent from Sir R. Peel.) Did the Right Hon. Baronet
dispute that? He (Lord Palmerston) again asserted, that in
the month of September last,. the then President of the Board
of Control had written to Lord Auckland, requesting him to
continue in office.—( Loud Opposition cheers.) Now, that
offer could not here been made if the Government had net
approved of his policy. He (Lord Palmerston) could not sup.
pose that they would ask-Lord Auckland to continue in office in
September merely to dismiss him in December.-.(Cheers. )
Those who spoke of India in the spirit in which those taunting
cheers had been given, could know but very little of the sub-
ject ; and he contended that the late Government bad,
by their policy in Central Asia, opened a great field fur
the commercial exertions of this country,.—(Great cheering.)
Our operations in China were also calculated to teed to ex-
tended commercial relations with that country. The Right
Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- i
merit, had told them of the dangers of declaring war against an
empire containing 300,000,000 men ; front all that had been
seen of those 300,000,000 he thought they wi re more likely to
attract our attention as probable consumers of our manufac-
tures than to be dreaded as enemies in iwar. 'the only dif.
ficulty we had hitherto encountered in China was in finding
troops sufficient to garrison our conquests.—(Cneere and
counter cheers.) Laet year a merchant had showed hint (Lout
P.) a piece of printed cotton, which had been purchased in
Chusen, and he assured him that cotton of superior quality could
be manufactured in this ceuntry, sent out to Chusam, and sold at
half the price.—(Cheers ) What a field was thus opened fer
the development of our commerce?—(Cheers.) Th tee who
derided those advantages were little qualified to judge on •he
subject—(Cheers)—and ceu4l have little feeling for the distress
of the country, which could only be alleviated by opening fresh
markets for the product of its industry. The distress was ur-
gent, and some remedy must be applied; he conjured the Go-
vernment, therefore, not to adhere to the laws so recently
passed, if better remedies could be d6viseil. So.nething must
be done before the approaching winter, and if measures of
remedy were proposed by asy party whatever, he would not
withheld his support from them.—( Cheers. )
Lord STANLEY assured the Howe that he did not, at
that hour of the night, intend to detain the House with any
lengthened observations. But if the Noble Lord believed that
her Majesty's Government were going to fold their arms and
look on the coming harvest with indifference, he took a vary
different view of the state of things which had been left to them
by the Noble Lord and his colleagues than the Government
did.—( Hear, hear.) There was much in the present distress
beyond the reach of human legislate m.--(" No, no.") What !
would any man tell him that theirdistress was not greatly aggra-
rated by the deficient harvests of the last two years ?—(" No,
no, the Corn-laws.") He would not be tempted to enter upon
a question that had been discussed over and over main. The
most perfect freedom of trade would not
•have made up for
the effects of these deficient harvests. But the Govern-
ment did look forward with hope to an earlier
1 and more abundant harvest in the present year.
The Government did look torward with more of hope and less
of despondency than the Noble Lord appeared anxious to infuse
into the people, to the relief to be expected from an early and
abundant harvest. As to the policy of the Noble Lord, lie
every where found British commerce paralyzed by it.—
(Cheers.) The Noble Lord had told them with truth, that
we must not look to any great extension of our commerce with
the continent of Europe, but that we must look to foreign count
tries. Why, in America our efforts to extend ger ore.
merce were met by jealousies andquarrels, engendered under the
administration of the Noble Lord. In South America—in the
States bordering on the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific,
difficulties and embarrassments were experienced from the
Noble Lord's interference. In China, too, so far Emit having
commercial prosperity we were engaged in a war, the end cif
, which it was difficult to foresee, In India, the only result of
the Noble Lord's policy was, to leave to the present
Government the task 'of remedying the evils which
that meddling policy had entailed upon this country.
He joined with hum in deprecating the motion of the Hon,
Member for Greenock as one which, in the present state of tine
country. could led to definite result. Various causes had been
, assigned for the distress of the country, end as fit subjects for
Inquiry by different Hon. Gentlemen, The Corn-laws, the
Poor-laws, the currency, the increase of machinery, the alone-
sexy distress of the United States, the war in China, the war in
India, the increase of population, the tariff, commercial
treaties, large farms, reciprocity treaties, free trade, want
of education, want of emigration, the timber duties, were
assigned by different speakersduring the debate as
the causes of the present distress of the country. Now
it we required to ascertain whether each or all cf them
contributed to this distress. The Hon. Members fee Inverness
and Coventry attributed a great portion of the distress to the
monetary- derangements between this country and America. It
would be impoeiible fse. tile Government to go over the whole
of dictse causes, but after what had fallen from the Noble Lord
a.; to what had been done by him and those with whorl be was
ceennected, to give increased energy to the commerce of the
country, to. endanger which would inhibit the greatest imbeci-
lity on the part cf the goyerenterit, he could not help rising,
when, on every side, lie saw the danger that ensued from this
iodividual policy of the Noble Lord.--( Cheers.) 1
Mr. ELLICE said the Noble Lord hail misunde.,ratood him i
n not thinking- that he attributed much of the tifstress of the
country to the Corn,laws, •. • . .
Mr. Q'CONNELL, anehist loud cries of iiDivide, divide,"•
meted the adjournment of Outdebate.
Sir, R. • PEEL hoped the discussion would be brought to ti .
close this evening.
Mr. O'CONNELL said the people were starvtng; under such
circumstances, no point of courtesy might to be permitted to
prevent them doing their dtity. The people were starving with-
out hope of relief. '
The' question having been put,
~ Mr, 'HUME hoped the Bight Hon. Baronet would give
way. There were 20 gentlemen ready to speak ou that side,
and there was no chance of the debate being concluded to-
night, notwithstanding the attempts which bad been made to
prevent gentlemen from speaking. He had seen the Hon.
Member for Knareshorough about to rise—( A laugh )-..grid
had hoped to have heard his opinions, but he had aeeu that
after seine conversation with an Hon. Gatklienlau, the Ho". Member had sat down.—.(Cheers end laughter.)
Mr. FERRAND was about to rise to tell the Hon. Gen-
tlemee opposite the!. this debate had been raised merely to
throw irepedineer ts in the way of the Government, and that
the working classes looked upon them as the veriest humbugs
in the world.—(Cheers.) It seas true that ,he had been re- '
quested not to speak. as it might tend to-create delay.
Mr. HAWES begged to tell the Hon. Gentleman who hail
Wide use q terms se imparllamentary that they were undaunted
by his "menaces, and determined that the debate should be
adjourned. If the GevernMent was so anxious for supply,
why did they not make a House OP Monday night ?—( Cheers. )
On what ground did the tcm, Member make the attack he
hal done, and in language so very unparliamentary ?
( gear, hear.) He (Mr. Hawes) had intended to address
the House to-night ; but he had not had an opportunity, and
until the Noble Lord rose and elicited the indiscreet speech of
the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, not a single
Member of the Government had risen to state the opinions of
the Goeernmeitt on the subject. Could he forget the conduct
pursued by the Government when in opposition, to prevent their
opponents getting a Committee of Supply?
Mr. FERRAND wished to knew whether the Speaker or
the Hon. Member ket Lvnbelli was the proper judge of what
was, or what was not, unparliamentary language ?
'Mr. e : BULLER said, as the authority of the Speaker had
been appealed to, he should wish him to decide whether this was
the only assembly of gentlemen where one A.leneleer could get
up and call all opposed to hint a ,tEet of buivheg3 le'
Mr. c RIPP4 Tegeetted'iel the Member for Lambeth had
taunted theGOvertnitiet with not making a House on Monday.
Air, MVNIii had no fear of being considered a humbug by
the working cleesein hot' should he be suspected of a factionts yiki
position to the Government or the public sPlye• Ue, there-
,lo wished iliii:the Right HoHon.llertmet would consent to the
adjournment. . . „..
Sit ROBERT PEEL said that the impression that the
Government had interfered to prevent a House being made on

After a feW words from Mr. BARING,
General. JOHNSON said, he believed that the estimate the
Ministers were so anxious to bring on in the Committee of
Sit-Iply, was only that for their own pay.—( Hear, hear. )
The House then divided. The numbers were

Majority against the adjournment........ —649
On our entrance into the gallery,
Mr. HUME was addressing the House, and moved its ad-
journment.
The question having been prat,-
Sir R. PEEL said that the sense o!' the House was sufficiently
indicated by the decision to which. it had come ; but he would
not persevere in continuing a profitless discussion. He hoped,
however, that those who had motions for to-morrow would give
way. He also hoped that the lion. Gentleman would not press
his motion for the adjournment ,ottfre Home.
Mr. HUME const'nted.
The mltion for the adjournment of' the House was then put
and negatived, and,
On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, the debate was ad •
journed to this day.
LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES FUND BILL.
The London-bridge Approaches Fund Bill passed through
Committee.
DEAN FOREST ECCLESIASTICAL DISTRICTS I
BILL.
The Dean Forest Ecclesiastical Districts Bill was read a I
third time, and passed.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA (GOVERNMENT AND RE-
VENUES) BILL.
Lord STANLEY moved that the Report on this Bill be
brought up.
Mr. HUME opposed the bringing up of the Report without
further discussion. He altogether disapproved of the measure
in its present shape.
Sir ROBERT PEEL suggested that the Hon. Gentleman
should take the sense of the liouse on the subject now, to mark
his disapprobation of the Bill, and should take the discussion at
some future stage.
Mr. HUME bad no objection to take a division against the
. Bill.
. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and -the House
divided, when there appeared_

The Report was then brought up.
Mr. HUME protested against the resolutions as involving; a
reckless expenditure of the public money.
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Two o'Clock.
