ailladant and cheap. Ht should vote for Mr. Has.
kisson!s. schedule.
Mr. WESTERN? itieited his ranter sentiments
in favour of the Bill, and opposed the clause of Mr.
Rose, on the ground that it would. place Iht power
directly is the hands of the- Privy Council. He.
however. did not wholly approve of the Bill, but
would ratismemilopeolispraiedb
meet as had been proposed by XlVTiii.itaeflndbe-
hind him.--( We understood him to allude AO 'some
amendment preplan*** former eveeing.)
Mr. BIirANP was sure that the onlyobject of every
• Member, wakto 411141 re a courant supply-of c,.rn at.
a fair price. and to hold out a fair encoorageiment for
capital in agriculture. He was not for hurrying the
•snea sure, as it would be most satisfactory to.the cpuntrg
to see that the. House did not run headlong inch a pro.
ject in which they could not have any personal Vierf.
Mr. CANNING was of opinion, that if it were in,
cessary to limit this Bill also with regulations of prices
it would be better to withdraw it Altogether, •and
bring in a new one, which might be subject to discus.
sloth in a Committee. His objection to therlause was,
that it pointed out needlessly to the Executive Go-
rernment that which it was their duty to do, and
which Parliament would indemnify them for doing.
It were much better for the Executive to act on its own
responsibility ; but this would not be a clause of dis-
cretion, but a clause of enactment. If the clause with
the proposed amendment Were added to the Bill, he
thought it would be necessary that the measure should
he recast, re-modelled altogether. He was content
with the Bill as it at present stood, but if the clause
and amendment were adapted it could not long cwt.
tinue the same.

, The SPEAKER thought it would be proper to
decide on the third reading of the Sill. and take the
clause into consideration when it wa =geed.
Mr.,CANN ENG explained. . .
The House divided—For the thirds read* of the
Bill, lo7—Against it, 27—Majority; 80,
Oh re-entering the gallery, we found Mr. PON,
SONBY on his legs opposing the clause of Mr. Ross,
whichhad been moved whilestrangers were excluded.
He thought to provide that Ministers might, under
certain circumstances, stop the importation of Corn,
would prove an unavailing elmennent. The best se.
curity the country could have in extraordinary times,
would be found in the courage of the Executive Go.
vernment ; mother safeguard would be efficient.-,.
He wished the.evottation of Corn to be left as free
as possible,, .
Kr. Alderltimi ATKINS was cd opinion this coun-
try could not become i great exporting country. In
fairness; this Bill ought to go band in hand with the
other; but he was of opinion it would be well that
no alteration in the Corn Laws should now be made.
He could not see. that any danger was to be appre-
hended from letting the question stand over till the
next Session of Parliament, So important a chapge
' in the Corn Laws might to be made with the tunscst
deliberation, and after the most mature reflectir.n.—
To hiirry a measure like this through Parliament,
could not be satisfactory to the country.
Sir H. Pi\RNELI. denied that the Bill had Seen
hurried through the House. The 'Right Hon.
tleman who had stated this measure would produce
'incalculable mishief, was completely answered by the
-last speaker, who, asserting this 'country could Rot
.becorne an exporting country, had preiVed, such evils
a! the Right Holt. Gentleman had apprehended were
'not to be feared. '
Sir C. MONCK, thought the best murky against
excess of exportation, would be found in the comps.
move lowness of price in the foreign market.
Mr. ROSE observed, that at Amsterdam wheat
was 10s. a (patter dearer than its our own market ;
mod that if they would grant him a Committee. he
wonid ptoduce a hundred similar instances: • •
Sir C.. MONCIC. replied, that admitting the state.
melt of the Right lion. Gentleman to be correct, it
did not invalidate his argument. It would cost 10
or 15s. per quarter freightage, which, with some port
duties and insurance, would still render British Corn
dearer than Foreign in the foreign market,
Mr. Alderman ATKINS explained.
Mr. LUSHINGTON stated, that in France wheat
was sold for 88s. per qaarter ; and at Riga, Coutland
wheats at 475.
Mr. CANNING observed, that though be consi,
dered the clause perfectly unnecessary, because it
professed to bestow a power which already existed,
lyet. if the adopting it without any amendment would
be any cousolation to the Right Hon. Gentleman, or
any relief to the alitrm that had been excited out of
doors, he should have no objection to its ineorpora-
tion with the Bill.
Mr. .1.. P,. GRANT. sajoktilat one powerfej reason
with him for trot krgreeitig sAth the clause was pre-
cisely that which induced the Right Hon. Gentleman
(Mr.Cahning) to Stipp:in it, because it was pertectly
unnecessary. He had .another objection also. The
clause would not.only produce po good effect, but i;
~would produces very. bad effect. It !mold create
fears in the agriculturist, wliile the object of this
measure was to give him confidence—(lfear)—aza
"It would, •oso far, do away the beneficial tendency of
it altogether. It was the bounden dint of the En.
&Rive Government, and it .was always in Sts power,
r.to stop the exportation of corn when occasion should
.call for it.,..and. krk
.with perfect confidence to that
'House for mai:tinny.. The tears'entertained could
be Oaf chi Tana Of ignorance, and he hoped they
had•been excited too by ignorance ; bat he was sure
they= had been -provoked by very improper means,
hlr..liVr.sTMlX and Mr. D. CaDDII opposed the clause.
The gallery was then cleared, but no division tool;
place; the'clanse was rejected and the pill was pissed=
