THE TARIFF.

Mr. BLEWITT said, that the Right Hon. Baronet had
acknowledged that he had been treated with great courtesy by
that side of die House.—(Cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh.")
Now he was about to ask a question, to which, he hoped the
Right Hon. Baronet would give a courteous reply. He wished
to ask on what day he intended to bring forward the question
of the tariff?

Sir 11. PEEL was desirous of fixing the earliest possible
day for bringing on the tariff, but he could not bring it on
until after the question of the income tax should be disposed of.
He meant until the House should have consented to the prin-
ciple of the Bill.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL—After the second reading ?
Sir It. PEEL could not flx the day ; •lout it was necessary
that he should feel assured that the Income Tax Bill would
pass before he could bring forward the tariff. As soon as he
had that assurance he would bring on the discussion on the
question of the tariff, for he felt a greater interest than any
other person in having the question of the tariff settled as
speedily as possible.
Mr. LABOUCHERF. had heard with great regret the
statement of the Right lion. Baronet. Ile could not tee any
necessity for pressing on the question of the income tax. He
deeply regretteol that the Right Hon. Gentleman, knowing the
present feeling of the country on the tariff, that he
should have put the House in such a position that
they could not discuss the question of the tariff
as speedily as they could desire, because the Right Hon.
Baronet pressed on the income tax ; and they certainly must
discuss the provisions of the Biil on the income tax, which the
Right Hon. Baronet proposed to introduce. He could not see
any reason for the Right lion. Gentleman not proceeding at
once with the tariff, and after that should be settled, going on
with the income tax. If any delay took place in the dis..
cussion of the tariff, he trusted that the country would see

that the responsibility of that delay rested only upon those who
refused to discuss the tariff until the income-tae Bill should
have been disposed of. Of what consequence could it be
whether the in:ome tax wa3 disposed of a week sootier or a
week later, but every day's unnecessary delay in settling the
question of the tariff would be Froductive of the
greatest inconvenience to the commercial and trading classes.
He regretted exceedingly the determination of the Right Hon.
Baronet, as he considered it was occasioning great and unneces-
sary delay, in the settlement of the important questions con-
nected with the tariff. _

Sir R. PEEL (who spoke with his back to the Gallery, and
in a very low tone of voice), said that the Right Hon. Gentle-
man need have no apprehension that, when the income tax
was pawed, the tariff would be delayed. He (Sir R. Peel)
attached as much importance to the reduction of the tariff as to
the pawing of the income tax. He felt bound in honour to
deal at once with the tariff ; and he should feel him-
self as touch called upon to relinquish his situation
from a defeat on the tariff as on the income tax. Attaching,
as the Right Hon. Gentleman did, such importance t,) this
measure, he could not see how it could be benefited by pro-
longed discussion. There were a great nuniLer of articles in
the tariff, amounting to upwards of 200, and each separate
article would come under the consideration of the House.
—( Hear.) He (Sir Robert Peel) had great confidence
that when he came to the subject of the tariff,
he should remove many apprehensions not only of the manu-
facturer but the agriculturist also. lie did not say there
would be no reduction in the cost of living, and there would be
an advantage to the community in general. one would be
injured by it. lie thought to press on the tariff before the
income tax would be most inconvenient. On Monday he should
propose the first reading of the Income Tax Bill, and take Fri-
day for the second reading. He should proceed as speedily as
possible with the income tax, and as soon as the convenience
of the House would allow, he should proceed with the tariff.
He believed he should allay the apprehensions of the manner
facturer, and although he reduced the duty on articles of foreign
manufacture, he wished to put a stop to smuggling, which
was the consequence of the present high duties.
Mi. LABOUCHERE could assure the Right Honourable
Baronet that nothing could be further from his (Mr.
Labouchere's) intention than to impute any want
of sincerity to the Right Hon. Baronet. He never suspected
that the Right Hon. Baronet would, when the income tax was
passed, delay the tariff. But still he could not help feeling that
it would be much better to proceed with the tariff.
The resolutions were then read and agreed to, and leave;
given to bring in the Bill.
CARDIGAN ELECTION COMMITTEE.
The Sergeant-at-Arms announced to the Heise that the
Hon. Member for Mayo (Mr. M. Blake) was taken into cus-
tody, ordered by the House, for non-attendance n this Com-
mittee.

In reply to Mr. BLEWITT, it was stated that. it was not.
competent to have the Hon. Member now discharged front cus—
tody on payment of the usual fees.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and tb!,
House Adjourned at a. Quarter before Two o'Cleck.
