Mr. CANNING preestned -a Petition against the propped,
alterations of the Corn Laws from Liverpool, signed by'2o,loo
persons. It was bnpossible, be thought, for any manto see these
Petitions presented, and not perceive the public nand was muck
inflamed. Observing this, they mast feel the impropriety of
pressing a measure like that now fa prows, through the House,
whsle this ftSmentexisted. . He would give no opinion himself ,
on the measure; but thin he would say, they might yet gain
much% information on the subject: He, fur sone,'should approve
of any 'steps taken (and to co operate in them as far as Jay in
power) to postpone the proposed alteration ftrielnataace,
and sitlastleently to diffuse among the people more at infor-
mation on this important question.

• 7 '• LOUD CASTLEREAGH.
About this time. Lord CASTLEREAGH entered the
douse. The instant he. appeared, ,he was greeted
with loud cheer,s.' Business was for some moments
luspended....H .Lordship boated, and took his seat
amidst the acclamations of the House:
CLOCK, A2l,OllkAtcllllAKERs' pEllTzo.ll.
SirW. CURTIS presented a Petition from cgthilli
Wuclvand Clockmakers of London, praying the in-
terposition of the House to protect their rights,' by
preventing the introduction of foieign Watches in this.

• Sir J. NEWPORT thought these:minufacturers
ought not to ask an exclusive monopoly- for them-
. selves, at a time when they came forward tp oppose
a similar measure for the priateition of t& Agricul-
turists.. • Fieedom •of• trade ought not to'be partial'
but general.. if Agriculturists were. not to be en-
couraged, the Manufacturers ought not to.be.allow-
ed the exclusive monopoly which they prated.. •
Mr. ROSE- said, the manufacturers claimed no
monopoly ; they only desired to be protected from
the effects of the .fraudulent importation, and he
could not let.thisOpportunity pass without correcting
the misrepresentation of the Hon. Baronet. • ~ -
Sir J. NEWPORT contendeda what they peti-
tioned for was a monopoly. . •

Sir W. CURTIS said, all. our 'Mrtrufaeturirs
wanted with-respect to foreign goods was, thatahe
public-might be able to:distinguish a good English
watch front one of foreign make.
Mr: BARHAM thought that which they asked
for was a monopoly. There could be ne fraudulent
importation of. watches, if importation of theta were
not prohibited.. With respect to the Corn 4ws, a
. spirit of resistance had been artfully excited in. the
country, which would not allow the House to deli-
berate on them. The appeal made from the House
to the country was rather extraordinary, considering
the quarter from whence it came. The orators of
Palace-yard and Copenhagen-house had never gone
so far as to touch on the pithy sebject of the food of
the people, to. inflame the, public Mind. On such a
subject ao talent was necessary to produce this effect.
The feeling "eiCited had now risen to such a height,
that however desirable the measure in progrees; the
House, would not dare Act pass of Order,

The SPEAliEi.sisid, the Hon. gentleman bad
spo)cen.yery unedylseably.
Mr. BARHAM explained. The sense in which
meanit to use the words dared not, was this—the
Souse dared r.qt do that which it ought not to do.
IFie contended, the 'House ought not to favour the
filliainifsettirers while they refused to encourage the
figriculturalists. •
.blr. LOSE said, the Honourable gentleman h$
remarked there could be no fraudulent importation
if impartation were not prohibited. No article was
:imPorillitkfisto this country which did nut pay a duty.

protection when watches of foreign manufacture west
