Mr. ROSE explained, that he had never objected •
to die grineipk of protecting the farmer by duties.
litr-,MARRYATT opposed the Resolutions, con.
tatcling.that although the price of Corn in France
might ha 45*. per quarter, the expenses of bringing
it to this country, and the fair profit of the merchant.
would raise it above the present price of wheat in this
go•intry.
Colonel ELLISON said, that rents had been so
much spoken of, as
.if the excess of rents was the
cAoie or ;be difficulties under which the landholders
laboured. NW it was will known, that if no rents

which, at the present prices of grain, could not be
cultiva•ed. It was tree that the country owed much
to ita manufactures, but to encourage
.them it would
be the worst policy to depress ...or agriculture, as the
great wealth of every country was, to have food to
support its inhabitants.
Mr. Alderman 11:1'KISIS. said he should on the
present occasion vote for the Resolutions, on the un-
derstanding that they were. then to be agreed to, pre •

forma.
Mr. LONG WELLESLEY supported the Reso-
lutions, and mid that all that bad °can red since lest
ye tr had confirmed him in the opinion which he then
held.
Si, WILLIAM CURTIS observed, that six years
no laws were made lor the protection of the farmer ;
where then was the enormou; pressure which had
since that time fallen on th..m which rendered farther
pleasures of protection necessary ?• On the contrary,
she Property 'rat was about to be taken off, which
would occasion a great reduction in the expense of
raising corn. The amount of rents bad been spoken
of slightingly by some Gentlemen ; but it was well
known that in many instances the rents had of late
years been doubled, or trebled, which circumstance
past have had a most material effect on the price of •
graie.....The Resolutions were then put and agreed to.
Mr. ROBINSON proposed, in order to give a ,
further opportunity for consider'ng the merits of this
pleasure, that the resolutions be recommitted on
Monday next proforma, so that the Hoose should be
able to receive the Report on Wednesday, when he
would move that they should be reprinted, and they
would once more be submitted to investigation. .
Air. BA RING had no objection to the recommit.
;eat pro format he had already stated how tar l!.,
front the principle of the Bill, bathe wished:,
more time to be given.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,,,
,as the measure was so simple in itself, did not seal
the necessity of delay beyond Wednesday,
Mr. BANKES was understood to object to the •
House pledging itself so early to the object of the
resolutions.
Mr. CA_ did nqt consider
Ahimself, Or,.
any other Gentleman, pledged by * cOnflin
posed, to the principle of the measure. Than** •

Oone, if instead of taking Weduesday for receiving
t Report, a late' day were tiled. The Resolutions
would then have been some time printed, and the
latte of; say * Meek, bt allowing them to circulate

desirable, as there was a disposition to approximate,
and the sense of the nation would. then be obtained as -.
to what the price of corn should be, whether 75t.
or 80s.
Mr. B. BATHURST observed, that all seemed -
agreed as to the course to be pursued. As to the
day, the resolutions might be ordered to be printed
on Monday, and to be ready for discussion on Wed.

Mr. TIERNEY should prefer a later,..
Sir JAMES SHAW was understood 'to appwett
of the
.Report being received on Wednesday.
Mr. BARING objected to that day, and to hap* -
ing the question in that manner.
The CHANCELLOR •of the EX CHEQUgi,
was sot aware that the receiving the Report oisWed.

The Measure was reall/ so simple, that . there ,coald .
pot be any advantage in longer delay ; and by.the

that the setae of the country 'should be better aster-

shill more upon the subject of OK pleasure now, but
be conceived that 'What he proposed might probably,.
serve to save useleis discussion. •"
