millions annually more than the real amount at the
Period of making the Loani. As for the question
'of a free tradei he must say, that however he might
agree to the principle, it -was, soinvolvedinto other
rPnsiderai ions, that it must be agreed to with many
!I'')difications. *lite had lived so long under a pro-
tectiog system, that if it came to be altered', every
11"t1vidual with all its relations to other
I)rduches, must be examined into and fully dis-,
llssed. On one of the most important parts of this
:Ystein, the China trade, he was in favotir of en-
'rging the .freedom granted on renewing 'the
Charter. This he conceived would addmuch to the
Prosperity Of the country. There was one thing
~4',1)4,1t perhaps deserved their Lordships' coo -
"deration; as tending to increase the, distress
from a deficiency in consumption this
tl4B the change of,bands which had taken place
") respect to 'capital: It rarely' 4pp'eued that
it:en horn to wealth were miserly ; They-were ra-
laef prottise and expensive. But men who; accu-
°lola ted tort ones .w.ere .often the.reverse. Tiros it
fell out that large "pit its, owing to the ciretim-
-41411,ces of the tittles, amassed during the, last quar-
ter of a century, _ were not possessed .by persons

l'entliture Which would/ have accompanied the
lame wealth if it had been 'inherited. This had
great effect Upon the prices of commodities?
141'1, upon the ep.cournement of industry. -But
men would soon learn to enjoy what they had
!required, and matters would soon again return to
'heir old course. As for the general state of the
towty, it was incontestible that our produce,
/he only. rule for calculation, was greater now
n'''ll it was twenty years ago ; and, from this he
t'llight safely inter that, if called upon, we were
Cinable of makin, a greater effort at the present
Petind than we weie at any former era. The di3-
tribtnion of property was not so good, hut the
Nntnon stock was aoginented. He had no doubt
thal an increased dcm4nd would speedily ensue,

the motion-, and of the-speech of the Noble. Earl,

Led ELLENBOitoUGIA' also animadverted upon
llhow of the 1.01)4:s-slimed in this discussion. He
BAs of opinion that 'he Corn Laws coital not and
"oght !ol to he altered.; this .could not be done
ii4ltott, aggravating the disproportion already ex-
°ling bet,veen the agrieultntists and manntac-
14rers. Uniform and steady prices were ihfinitely

it!issitodes were •the cause ot much alarm and
.Ipisery. The Noble Lord then alluded to the

Iti'ed with the Noble Lord who had just spoken,

:4"ent that prevailed was not occasioned by an
Vliveisal poverty, but by the restrictions on trade.

Europe, and the distresses of peculiar.
