SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men hew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is tho
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de-
sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss
hereafter.

it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions.
but to cleanse the grosser nature from those is:verities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of these
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration
of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-
reproach.

House and thought it his duty to present lt.—Read, and laid
on thetable.
CORN BILL.
The Order of the Day having been read, •
Earl BATHURST, in rising to move that the
House resolve itself into a Committee on the Corn
Bill, expressed his concern that the task should have
devolved upon him in consequence of the absence
and indisposition of his Noble Friend (the Earl of
Liverpool). His first wish bad been to postpone the
Committee, but as many Noble Peers had come from
the country on purpose to attend the debate, he had
thought that it would be more convenient for them
that he should proceed ; the more so, as he could not
say positively what day next week it would be in the
power of his Noble Friend to open the subject. In
taking that duty upon himself, he should not enter
into the origin of the existing agricultural distress,
as its causes did not appear to him to affect the pre-
sent Bill, which was only intended to amend the
Oorn Act. It was well known by their Lordships,
that, under the provisions of that Act, all importa-
tion of wheat and other grains was entirely prohibited
till the home price of corn rose to 80s. per quarter,
when unlimited importation might suddenly take
place. Much inconvenience bad been experienced
from this quick transition from a total prohibition
to unlimited importation, and from the consequent
variations of high and low prices. Wheat might also
be warehoused whilst the ports were open, and even
after they had been closed, it was brought to market,
to the great detriment of the British farmer. The
object of this Bill was to prevent the effects pro-
duced by that sudden transition from prohibition to
unlimited importation. This could only have been
done in two ways; either by regulating the quantity
to be imported, or by establishing a scale of duties.
The former could never have been done effectually,
even had the importation been confined- to one port;
the latter was therefore adopted. It was now pro-
posed that, as soon as the home price should rise to
between 70s. and 80s. per quarter, foreign wheat should
be imported on paying a duty of 17s. per quarter for
the first six weeks, and of 12s. after. Should-the
home price rise to 80s. or 85s. the duty on foreign
wheat would be 10s. for the first three months, and
ss. after ; and, should the price continue to rise, the
duty would fall down to Is. or become merely nomi-
nal. The advantage of this measure would not be
confined to the protection given to British farmers
against sudden and unlimited importation, but to
that afforded him against the irruption of warehoused
corn into the market; for warehoused corn would
now: be considered: as imported, and could not be
brought to market until it had paid the new duties,
which would be a considerable check on the opera-
tions of speculators. It had been said that the duty
imposed on foreign wheat would not be sufficient to
protect British farmers. But it must be considered
that, besides this duty of 17s. per quarter, the expense
of freight and insurance amounted to not less thanl2s.
besides the usual five per cent. for mercantile profit.
—Their Lordships would therefore see that foreign
wheat would have to pay 295. per quarter in duty
and expense of freight and insurance before it could
be brought into the market; this added to its own
value, which might he reckoned at 48s. per quarter,
would make it impossible for merchants to introduce it
into this country at a less price than 77t. which would
give British farmers an ample degree of protection.
He should probably be told that foreign wheat might
be purchased at SS.. per quarter ; but the reason that
its price was so low was, that our ports were closed;
the moment our market should be thrown open, the
price would rise, as it had invariably done on former
occasions. Neither was it to be believed that foreign
farmers could enter into competition with British
farmers. Agricultural distress prevailed on the Con-
tinent even to a greater degree than in this country.
Many cases wete known to have taken place abroad
in which mortgagees had gained hold of the property
of the mortgagers, from the latter not being able to
pay the interest, and preferring to abandon their
lands,altogether,to remaining saddledwith a debtwhich
.tiey could not discharge. Others who .held lands
from the Crown, had also been obliged to surrender
them; find the Crown, in consequence, had been un-
able to obtain any money from them. He understood
that some objection was entertained to that part of

which was most likely -ti3 be the case the
of it, amounting to 650,000 quarters, tt would be the
only foreign wheat that could be soldso low. Whei
he said that it was, not likely to be sold. SON as 7
he meant that its holders seeing the *l:liee. en*
rise would. naturally consider it would not be' ,
to their advantage to wait till British corn reach
80s. and then to sell their corn -free of duty, rather
than to dispose of it at 70s. and to pay a duty of 17s.
into the bargain. If their Lordships approved of the
first part of the Bill, and conceived the scale of Attica
calculated to yield sufficient protection to British far-
mars, he did not see how they could object to the
second, relative to warehoused grain, which was only
an extension of the principle of the former. It was
true that the present Bill would -be wholly inopera-
tive at the moment of its being passed, and would
yield no immediate relief to that distress, which lair,
like the nightmare, on agriculture.. But he conceived
that it was advantageous to legislate at a time whorl
there was nothing that could tend to inflame the past
sions. If their Lordships should wait till the 'price
rose nearer to 70s. they would not be abli to discuss
the subject with so much temper, and the People
would not feel so contented as they now did. As to
the idea of semi individuals, that there should be a
heaiy duty of SOs operating on all foreign grain, it
would be found impracticable in execution, as it
would amount to a total prohibition. Under all these
circumstances, considering the present measure one
calculated to produce much future good, he trusted
that their Lordships would not object to going into

the Committee.
Lord ERSKINE contended, that the object of the
authors of this Bill was to repeal to a certain extent
the Act which they had brought in themselves for
the protection of British forma: in 1815. As theft
was no pressing necessity for such a measure, he
trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would have no
objection to postpone its completion until the next
Session. He then took a view of the flourishing con-
dition of agriculture during the war. When peace
came, the markets bad grown lower and lower, and
had fallen down to nothing, because the Government
was no longer in the field. It was on that account
that his Majesty's Ministers had passed the Corn Act,
which it was attempted to repeal -by the present Bill;
a Bill to which the Noble Earl might justly apply the
name of nightmare, for it had been debated night
after night in the House of Commons ; but it was is
nightmare which, unlike all others, continued after
people were awake, for the incubus lay on the minds of
the agriculturists, morning, noon, and night. He con-
sidered his Maiesty's Ministers entitled to high praise
for having poised the Corn Act as they had done,
notwithstanding the violence displayed by the people
on that occasion ; for though friendly to the princi-
ple of alree trade, he conceived that that principle
could only be brought into operatioa when the coun-
try was in a natural state, which was not thg case
during a war of liberation, thrown upon us by ne-
cessity. The Noble Earl had admitted that corn
might be purchased abroad at sSs.—how then could a
duty of 17s. which would make the price of a quarter
of foreign grain only 525. yield sufficient protection to
British -farmers ? The Noble Lord then went into the
history of the proceedings of the House of Commons
and of its Committees, the Reports of which had laid
the foundation for the present measure. He wished
that, instead of lowering the protecting price, it
should have been raised above 809. dr that such a
duty should have been laid as would have proved
effectual. When there were more than 800 Petitions
on their Lordships' table' against this Bill, for what
purpose was the public mind agitated by an attempt
to legislate that which it was admitted must be at
present totally inoperative? Such a measure ought
not to pass, unless a proportionate reduction should
have taken place in the taxes of all kinds which
agriculturists had to pay to the State and to the poor.
Could the Noble Earl believe, that if foreign corn
should be imported at 525. the British farmer should
be protected in raising his corn and bringing k to
market ? Speculators would not be so easily checked
as the Noble Earl seemed to imagine. They would
cut his throat for one half per cent. more. But their
Lordships were told, that in order to remedy agri-
cultural distress, it was only necessary to threw the
poor lands out of cultivation! The landholder should
reply, " I don't see the use of all this taxation, it
must be reduced, it will be only throwing the Three
per Cents. out of interest." Suppose the poor lands
should be thrown out of cultivation, what would be-
come of their proprietors? What farmers asked was
a remunerating price, and before the passing of such
a Bill as the present, burdens must be equalized ;
manufactures, which brought so many poor into a
parish, and the large buildings for which were not
' charged mere than as many barns, must pay in a more
equal proportion. Had there beep an)' Petitions in
favour of this Bill ? Its professed object was the re-
lief of those who were deemed not to have been suf-
ficiently so by the Act of 1815, and yet it was a mea-
sure which its authors admitted they would be afraid
of passing, if it were not to be totally inoperative at
this moment ! They had no right to pass new laws
to affect agriculture, without first lightening its bur-
dens. But it would be said, surely this Bill cannot
be so bad, for it has passed the Commons by a very
large majority, and the Commons abound with Re-
presentatives of the landed interest. It happened
sometimes, however, that men seemed to have for-
gotten the opinions which they had expressed abroad,
when once they came into that House ; and, indeed,
" There are more things in Ileav'n or earth,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
—The Noble Earl then recapitulated his arguments
against the Bill, and moved that it be committed
this day three months.
Lord DACRE conceived that nothing could possi-
bly yield immediate relief to agriculture; and there-
fore regretted that an attempt should be made to le-
sislate in a manner injurious to agriculturists at the
very moment when nothing could be done Available
to them. At Dantzic corn now sold' at 82s. or 3,35.

was not satisfied that superabundanie of produce was
theAhief cause, or any cause of agricultural distress.
,The number, of inclosures, which had been mentioned'
as a proof of over-productions was only 18A0, corn-
prising of This
and 1-14th more produce than in 1800. But then
cultivation, forined
the increase of population had been so great as to
keep More than pace with that of production.
before the next Session it should be found that se.per-
abundance of produce was not the cause of awe
i al-
tural distress, the House would bays to legislate n a
'very different manner from what it was now called
upon to do. It was not, therefore, too much to ask
for delay, When there was not one agriculturist in the
country who was not ready to petition their Lord-
ships not to give him that relief which they were now
preparing and professing to afford him.
The Earl of HARROWBY maintained that the
only points to be ascertained were, whether their
Lordships ought to legislate now, and whether the

shadow of cause of the present distresi had been as-
certained, they would not satisfy the expectations of
the country, which, if it did not look for immediate
relief, at least expected from the wisdom of Parlia-
ment that a prospective remedy should be provided
for those evils which experience had shewn to exist.
The agriculture of the country had now for three
years and a half enjoyed a complete monopoly of its
own market, and yet there had been a continual low-
ering of prices. This he was disposed to attribute to
the quantity of corn imported at the beginning of
1819, which being followed by three abundant -har-
vests, occasioned a heavy weight on the market,
which had since continued to be felt. The object of
the present measure was to make it impossible that
the market should again be brought down on a sud-
den by unlimited importation. He believed, from
the change which had taken place in the currency,
that a protecting price of 70s. would now be quite
' equal to that of 80s. in 1815. As to the warehoused
corn, its owners would take care not to sell it so low
as to make the average price fall below that at which
importation was allowed' and the effect of the whole
would be that the price of corn would no longer be
subject to great and sudden variations, whilst the duty
paid on importation after British wheat had reached
80s. was a protection which the grower had not en-
joyed before. The fall in prices could not fairly be
attributed to the amount of taxation, for it had been
experienced to the same extent in those part! of the
Continent, particularly in Switzerland, where taxa-
tion was almost unknown* and it was at the time
when our taxes were heaviest, that prices were also
highest. The present law would prevent the recur-
rence of the effect produced by unlimited importa-
tion in 1819 on the market, and would place the
country in a more advantageous situation than that
in which it now stood. He therefore trusted their
Lordships would allow the Bill togo into a Committee.
The Earl of C A RNA R VON thought it desirable to
ascertain what was the minimum of protection which
would suffice to sustain the agricultural interest, as he
was convinced that the country could ndt flourish
long if the prices of agricultural produce were forced
much above those obtained in other markets of Eu-
rope. Such a measure would prove fatal to our com-
merce and manufactures, would destroy the home
market, and occasion incalculable distress. Before
they proceeded to legislate on this subject for future
generations, they ought to be well informed of the
causes of the present distress, and he thought they
could never have less data to act upon than they had
at present. He was of opinion that much of the ex-
isting distress grew out of the alteration which had
taken place in the currency of the country. This
subject, however, he did not mean to press on the
House at that moment. He could not persuade him-'
self that any Noble Lord amid think that 80s. or
even 70s. the quarter, could continue permanently
the price of wheat in this country. A higher price
than 60s. could not be reckoned upon. They had no
data on which 'they could legislate prospectively, and
therefore he put it to their Lordships whether k would
not be wise to avoid coming to any decision at pre-
seat? Upon these grounds he should vote for the
Amendment of the Noble Lord.
Lord REDESDALE' remarked on the assertion
that this was the fittest time for legislating on the
subject, because no clamour had been excited. It
ought to be remembered that the agricultural body,
with whom much of the labour of the country was
connected, was at present in a very agitated state,
and therefore he did not see that advantage now
offered with respect to time, of which some Noble
Lords had spoken. He objected to the present mea-
sure, as it had a tendency to encourage gambling
speculations fn corn; and thus to produce fluctuations
in the price which it was the interest of the country
should not be experienced. At present there was a
great depression, not only in the price of corn, but
in that of sheep, cattle of all sorts, and every de-
scription of agricultural produce. The farmer was
distressed not merely because of the money price of
corn, but because he could net get those articles of
which he stood in need in the way of barter for that,
portion of produce which would formerly suffice to
purchase them. If the burdens which the farmer I
had now to pay absorbed two bushels of wheat,where
they formerly called for one, •it could easil, be un-
derstood how the agriculturist was distressed. A si-
milar pressure was felt on the Continent. The far-
mers there were in an artificial state, as well as the
farmers of this country. It was not to be expected
that the prices would continue what they were now,
when things had got into a more settled state. He
therefore was unwilling, under such circumstances,
to pass a Bill like that now before their Lordships.—
This measure he objected to, as one which was to.
have no regular system for its foundation, but was
to depend on averages and returns from time to time.'

the price of corn rose to 80s. of which there was ap

Iford ELLEN BOROUGH considered the amts.
ment opposed to this Bill applied to it but as a per.
sent measure. The fact was, it ought not to be
!considered, as they were legislating to remedy a pre.
t evil growing out of the existing law., He hoped
that they would allow the Bill to pass, not as a per.
manent measure, but as one to carry us through pre-
sent difficulties till we got to a state of things which
would admit the passing of a law more permanent
in its character.
Earl DARNLEY objected to the frequent inter-
ference with those interests which were the subject
this Bill. Their Lordships had wisely declined
institute an inquiry in the course of the present Ses-
sion; but the House of Commons had come to a dif-
ferent resolution, and this Bill was the consequence
of the inquiry they had set on font. He was of or
nion the measure would be of no avail. It was, ho
ever, unnecessary to enter upon this subject new,

remove from our fields the plentiful harvest wit
which they were at present loaded, the price of grai

felt it to be his duty to vote against the Bill.
The Earl of MORLEY, considering the uncer-
tainty which always attached to the produce of
soil, could not feel as certain as the Noble Earl did,
who had just *sat down, that the price of wheat woul"
net rise to 80s. before the next meeting of Parliarnem

tion, and one that would be agreeable to the agrici

The Earl of DARLINGTON expressed regret
the thin state of the House, on the discussion of
important a measure. It had caused great alai.
among the agriculturists, and with the view he took
of it, he felt it to be his duty to oppose the measure
on every occasion.
