COURT (IF ALDERMEN, MAY I.

After some routine business, Mr. Alderman Loess presented
a Petition, signed by Mr. S. Dixon Mr. Crocker, Mr. Deputy
Brook, and 41leurs. R. Smith, Gibbs, and Stuart, praying t&at
Mr. Denman might not be sworn in as Common Serrant, on
the ground that, by a bye-law passed in the time of Philip and
Mary, such Officer is directed to be chosen out of the eight
City Counsel. The Petitioners farther prayed, that Mr. Bolland
might be sworn in, he being the only eligible candidate.
Alderman Lucas declined moving any thing upon the Petidon.
The Petitioners were then called in, and asked if they bad
anything to add; upon which Mr. Dixon descanted on the
importance of the law, and disclaimed all private animosity.
Sir JAMES SHAW ged if the objection was made at the time
of the election.—Mr. Dixon," Certainly not." •
Alderman Baows—" Is Mr. Bolland in attendincer

Mr. Dixon—" The Petitioners have taken op this matter in-
dependently of Mr. BoHand."
Sir Wm. CuLTl♦—" That is no answer." •
On the question being repeated, Mr. Dixon said, " I ha:vie
be is not."
The Petitioners were then ordered-to withdraw.

Sir Wm. Comm rose' but was stopped in his exordium by
Alderman Wood. who observed there was no questing before
the Court.

Alderman LOCA.! having declined making any motion on the
subject, Alderman WOOD said, the Court had nothing to do with
the Petition. The election was in the Common Count% and
this Court only acted ministerially in administering the oath.
Alderman lhowN coincided in this opinion.
Aldermen C. SDI= and Vintast.as thought the Law °Meets
should be consulted.

Sir James Snaw said, it did not appear this antiquated bye-
law had ever been acted upon, and be conceived the Court could
not take notice of it on the present occasion, but should pro-
ceed to swear in Mr. Denman.

Alderman Blown strongly deprecated the conduct of the Pe.
tide:men. It was an attempt to revive an obsolete law, made
nearly 300 years ago, which had never been acted upon within
the memory of man. Certain it was that it had been violated in
repeated instances. Such a bye-law went to render aU the inn-
pot tent offices of the City purchaseable by money, and deprived
that Court of even the shadow of an election. lie was glad that
be had made the inquiry, whether Mr. Holland was in attend-
ance as he had thereby learned this Petition had not originated
with him. Indeed, be was quite sure that Gentleman would be
above having any concern in such a proceeding. He (Alderman
Brown) bad supported Mr. B.dissid. and regretted That he had
not been successful; but the battle had been fairly fought, and
fairly won by hlr. Denman.
• Jr. Alderman WAIF/WWI said, it appeared, by this law, they
were to elect their Recorders and Common .tierjeants out of
eight Counsellors appointed by that Court. Now it was noto-
rious no such Counsellors were so appointed—that the City
Pleaders purchased their Ono—nand if the old bye.law were re-
vived, the highest Law Dikes would; in effect, be sold, nod that
Court. deprived of its choke of Recorder. lie thought Mr.
Denman should be called in and sworn.
It was thus carried unanimously that the Petition do lie on
the table, and Mr. Drennanwas swornlo.
Mr. disowit resigned his office of Keeper of Renate, wilt,
the Court came to a resolution to present him with a place of
plate, value £.50, in testimony of the high sense entertained of
his uniform good conduct during the time he filled that situatf,e .

Mr. HUME moved for Returns of all Money which had been

paratively limited circulation.
Mr. CURWEN seconded the motion.—Ordered.
CHETWYND brought up the Report upon the Va-

After some words from Sir R. Wu.sots, it was ordered to be

(Hear, hear !).—Ordered.
Mr. lIUME complained that he had, some time ago, moved
for Returns of the Sums in which certain Public Officers were
Defaulters in their Accounts. Ile wished to know when these
Accounts might be expected? •

sive, and he could not pledge himself to produce them on any
particular day. They would be made out as soon as pes.ible.
Mr. IlUblE then moved that they be produced forthwith.—

Mr. R. MARTIN obtained leave to bring in a Bill fur pre-
venting Cruelty to Animals.
• Mr. BENNET wished to know when the discussion upon
the Superannuation 13111, which had been put off from day to
day, might be expected?
Mr. LUSHINGTON said, his Majesty's Ministers were not
answerable for the delay, as it was entirely attributable to the
press of business before the House.
Mr. BENNET said, it was desirable it should come on at
an early day.
Mr. WELLS presented a Petition from the Land-owners of
Kent, against Mr. Ricardo's plms. The Petitioners looked upon
these plans with a surprise and.dismay."—Laid on the table.
Mr. GRENFELL moved for a Return of the several Pe-
riods, from 1722 to 1822, at which any Renewal or Extension
of the Bank Charter took place. Ile said it would be found that
in 1800 only was an application made by the Bank for a renewal
before the former Charter had expired. The reason assigned for
anticipating the expiration of the present Charter was, that the
Bank had agreed to suffer similar establishments to itself to be
erected anywhere not within sixty-five miles of London. It
appeared to him that if this relaxation was any benefit, it should
be alto extended to the vicinity of London, matt no qualification
should he made. lie should oppose the renewal of the Charter
to the Bank.

Mr. LUSHINGTON said, he had no objection to the pro-
duction of the Returns.
MABERLY said, he understood .it was intended to
allow the Bank to become bidders for this loan. As this was a
power which they did not possess under their former Charters,
he wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite,
whether, in the extension of their Charter, a clause was intro-
duced, or would be introduced, by which the Bank would be
enabled to go into the market and buy up Annuities, or become
bidders for the Half-pay Loan ?
;dr. LUSHINOTON said, that no such clause was intro-
duced, or intended to be introduced, in the Bank Charter.—
The Returns were then ordered.
Mr. WALI.ACE postponed the further consideration of the
Report of the Committee on the Navigation Bill until Monday,
the 20th instant. He also postponed the Commercial Statutes
Repeal Bill to the same day.

men thought they
took possession of theit..offite they. had discharged
their duty. Many of these Consuls-Ganerid, if he
(Mr. Hume) was rightly informed, were absent for
years together. The Noble Lord had greatly in-
creased the number of Consuls in 1815, without af-
fording any additional facilities to trade. The Con-
suls-General enjoyed large 'salaries, having scarcely
anything to do. There was a Consul-General in the
Netherlands with a large salary, and another at Paris
with a salary of £9OOO a year, though his Office was
open but from eleven to one o'clock in the day. , As
the charges now stood, a French vessel could enter
a port and discharge its cargo at one-fourth fess ex-
pense than an English one. Upon the whole it ap-
peared to him that the system ought to be reformed,
and he hoped the Noble Lord would tusa his atten-
tion to it. The Hon. Member concluded by moving
" That a humbk Address be presented to his Majesty, pray-
ing that he would be graciously pleased to order Returns of Fees
charged at the several ports by his Majesty's Consuls and Vice-
Consuls, from the year 1792 to 1821, and the authority by
which the same were demanded."
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did not rise
to give any opposition to the motion. The papers
would be produced, but the Hon. Member was him-
self aware that the subject was an important and diffi-
cult one. The Board of Trade had for some time
been considering how far it was practicable to adopt
an uniform scale of fees for all the ports; but so many
difficulties occurred in the detail of the plan, that, as
yet, they had not come to any decision. But though
this object could not be attained, yet it was easy ter
merchants to ascertain by application, either at the
Foreign Office or at the office of the Board of Trade,
what were the fees to be paid to British Consuls at
each particular port. Upon the score of uncertainty,
therefore, no great complaint could be made. It
might perhaps he necessary to say, that though Con-
suls were respon'sible at his (the Noble Lord's) office,
yet that, as'they were in fact commercial agents, they
were entitely under the controul of the Board of
Trade. As io the authority by which fees wete levied,
he could answer. the. Hon. Member, that it wigs under
the sanction of the Government at home. He (Lord
Londonderry) agreed that it was desirable to equalize
the charges at all the ports, and that it would be
better to pay the Consuls by salary, and abolish fees
altogether—(llear, heat). —But there were great diffi-
culties in the way of doing this. The sum paid
to Consuls already amounted to 30,000/. but what
would it be if all the Consuls and Vice-Consuls had
salaries? Therefore, when it was not possible to
salary all, it would be unwise to give them only to a
few ; but he had some hopes that a plan would yet
be adopted to remove a portion of the Hon. Merti-_
ber's complaint. But it was asked why merchants,
residing on the spot were not made Consuls, which
would save a considerable expense ? So they bad
been ; in a great many instances the Vice-Consuls
were ta&en from this class. But he was no friend to
' extending this system, for it was calculated to give
these individuals unfair advantages in the trade in
which they were engaged. This was the light in
which Government had viewed the subject, and,
before the end of the Session, a Bill upon.the subject
would be brought into the House. With regard to
the absence of Consuls-General, he (Lord London-
derry) had no objection to give all the information
in his power; but be should say that he did not know
a case such as the lion. Member had stated. The
Noble Marquis then referred to the case of Mr.
Chamberlain,Consul-General at Rio Janeiro, to whom ,
allusion had been made on a former night, with a'
view of rebutting the charges which had been brought
against that Gentleman. He begged the [louse to
suspend their judgment until the return home of Mr.
Chamberlain,when it would be sheww•n that thesecharges
were entirely without foundation.
Mr. ROBINSON said this was a question of much
delicacy and considerable difficulty. The paying of
Consuls by salary was certainly the mote desirable
mode, if the objections to it in the way of increased
expen:e were not so powerful. Much had been said
of the high charges of the Consuls at certain ports,
but it was a fact that they were sometimes without
receiving any fees, and that they and their families
were reduced to considerable inconvenience. If the
fees varied, it should be also recollected that so did
the mode of living at the different ports. The subject
bad been hug under the consideration of the Board
of Trade, and he (Mr. Rubinson) hoped they would
at length devise some plan for supporting the Consuls
respectably,without incurring any additional expense.
Mr. ELLICE hoped that, it any new arrangement
was made, it would not press upon the shipping inte-
rest. He would suggest that shippers might be al-
lowed to charge to the owners of the goods whatever
charges they incurred to the Consuls at the ports.
Mr: HUME then moved for returns of what
periods Consuls-General had been absent from their
ports since 1815. Ile considered that the President
of the Board of Trade deserved great credit for the
various reductions he had caused in charges affecting
the shipping interest. He hoped to see that Hon. Gen-
tleman pursue the same course with regard to the
present; subject.
After an observation from Sir R. Wicsow, and an
explanation from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, the
motion was agreed to.

not in Clare alone that their situation was so deplora-
ble ; in the Counties of Mayo end Rokemoisoa they
were in a state of absolott starvation. He was sorry
to see that the prospects were equally unfavourable
for the next year.
After a few words from. Sir J. NEWPORT and Mr.
DRUMMOND, the Petition was brought up, ordered to
be laid on the table, and be printed.
Lord A. HAMILTON also presented a similar
Petition from the growers of barley in the County of
Lanark.—Ordered to be laid on the table, and to
be printed.
AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

- -
The Marquis,of LONDONDERRY moved the
Order of the Day for the further consideration of the
Report of the Agricultural Committee.
On the question being put that the SPEAKER do
leave the Chair,
Mr. CURWEN rose, for the purpose of asking the
Noble Marquis (Londonderry) if he would agree to
go at once to the consideration of that part of the
Report relative to the scale of duties, instead of dis-
cussing that part which proposed the grinding and
eiportation of foreign wheat ?
The Marquis. of LONDONDERRY admitted that
the scale of duties was one of the most material parts
of the Report ; and he appeared to acquiesce in the
suggestion of the Hon. Member for Cumberland.
A desultory conversation then took place, in which
Mt. Goods, Mr. BENETT (of Wiltshire), and the Mar-
quis of LON DON Danny, participated.
Mr. LOCKHART commented strongly on the
conduct of Ministers with respect to this question.—
The Noble Marquis should not have been satisfiei by
detailing to the House the plans of ethers, he should-
enter into some proposition on hisbven responsibility.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY interrupted
the Hon. Gentleman, and said, " lam ready to do so."

Mr. LOCK HART immediately sat down.
Mr. ATWOOD contended, that the foundation
of a great political change was laid by the conduct
which Ministers pursued. All the propositions which
they had submitted to the House on the subject of
agricultural distress were obscure, inconsistent, and
inconclusive. The Hon. Gentleman then contended
that the increase of taxation since agriculture was in
a flourishing condition was in proportion to the in-
crease in the value of the currency. The price of
corn at the termination of the last war was 121.1.. the
quarter; and it was now from 475. to 495. the quar-
ter, and the taxes, instead of having increased one-
fourth, were naw actually doubled. He thought it
impossible to maintain the doctrine that taxation was
not the cause of agricultural distress. What, he
asked, became of the doctrine of the Hon. Member
(Mr. Ricardo), that recurring to a metallic circula-1
tion made no more than a difference of 10 per cent.
in the value of money, when that difference was by
no means adequate to account for the present diffi-
culties? When they came to examine the state of
the country they found that the taxes were now
55,000,000/. double what they had been in 1792.
to large an amount he thought sufficient to give an
idea or what the nature of taxation was—(Near, hear).
If they found that the standard of money could not
bear a higher price than at present, they then fixed
an, accumulated taxation. He thought it then of the
greatest importance to fix a proper standard of value,
and the best mode of knowing what standard prices
could bear, would be by recurring to experience as
the guide. The highest price which was ever ob-
tained, up to the period of the commencement of
the last war, for corn, was 475. 9d. For the half
century preceding the war it was generally 395. sd.
the quarter ; and from that back to 1693, 395. 4d.
making a difference of only ld. which strewed how
little effect the operation of the standard of cur-
rency then fixed had produced; and he saw no reason
for now altering it.
Mr. RICARDO observed, that the Hon. Member
who had just sat down had fallen into sonic errors,
on which he thought it was necessary to put him
right. The Hon. ►Member had spoken of him as if
he were an advocate for a paper circulation. He
spoke of him as if he had not been the first to cry out
against that system. The Hon. Member alluded to
a pamphlet which he (Mr. Ricardo) published on this
subject, and he was willing to trust the truth of his
argument to what was stated in that pamphlet as to
remunerating prices, without which the farmer could
not go on. The Hon. Member spoke of him as if he
was responsible for all the alterations which took
place in the value of money in 1819. A greater de-
preciation in the value of the currency had existed
befpre 1819 than had existed then, but for that de-
preciation he (Mr. Ricardo) was not responsible;
however, that evil was then remedied by the Bank
itself. He maintained that the difference between
the value of paper and gold was *not more than five
per cent. But whether the difference was 20, or 50
per cent. how was he (Mr. Ricardo) responsible for
it? He proposed a measure which would have made
the circulation of gold unnecessary, but the House
did not think it prudent to follow it. The principal
difference between him and the Hon. Member was
as to the alteration in the currency. Ile (Mr. Ricardo)
maintained that alteration was not more than 10 per
cent. He believed that depreciation, as applied to
the currency, was not-generally understood; for the
currency might be depreciated, while it increased in
value. If he were asked why gold was the best
standard, he would say, because it was always. the
standard; but if Parliament had not passed the Bill
of 1797, the country would not now be exposed to
the evils arising from the fluctuation of the currency.
If the lion. Memlaer meant that corn should be
adopted as the standard, be would have no objection
to it, if it were less •ariable than Old but no in-
variable standard could be adopted. He • could • •
sanction the argument that all our distress was att"
butable to taxation, he (Mr. Ricardo) had a large
extent of land, and not encumbered with debt, and
what he suffered was cbasiderably more than • what
proceeded. from taxation. After taxation iherresat
more suffering between the landlord and tenant.-
The Hon. Member had made a mistake in the prices •
corn at former-periods. Previous to 1744-the price
was 325. the quarter, and from that, down to 1783,

able to the House that he should now enter into the
defence of his propositions. He thought there could be
so doubt of the validity of the principle for which •ne
contended, and which appeared to him invulnerable.
After a few words from Mr. Atwoon in explamcm,..,
the House went into a Committee on the Resolution:.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose, and said
that he thought it would he more for the general
arrests of the country, if Honourable Gentlemen
fined themselves to some practical view of the sub-
ject, and not wander into extraneous questions....
(Hear, hear).—The great interests of the country.
would be sacrificed by travelling from the pinion.
tions which were submitted to the consideration rf
the House. He thought the ]honourable Memb;:
(Mr. Attwood) ought to have reserved himself I r
.the question which the Honourable Member for E.
sex was to bring before the House. Ile (Mr. Att.
wood) adverted to the Bullion question, which
brought forward the Honourable Member for For.
tarlington, the gladiator on that subject. Ile would
take a more limited field, and confine himself to a
narrower view of the subject, with a hope of elect-
ing some practical good for thecountry. He believed
they were all agreed that something ought to be
done to regulate the importation of corn, by a duty.
Not less than five plans had been submitted, all of
them endeavouring to aim at some change in the
existing system. But he now wished to cent to the
three principal questions which he had to offer to the
consideration of the Committee. The first was as to
the precise point at which the ports should be opened.
The maximum 'now fixed was eighty shillings; big
when the price rose to that amount, the ports, by the I
existing law, were opened, without any regulation
whatever. With the exception of the Honoinab::
Member fonlomersetshire (Sir Thomas Lethbric!ge),
and the Honourable Member for Wiltshire (Mr. Be.
nett), who had proposed two resolutions in opposition
to the principle, they were all agreed that there ought
to be some corresponding relaxation of the price a:
which foreign corn should be imported. He was
from thinking that distress arose from want of sntli-
cient protection, for he %%ell knew that protectica
Could not give prices. In his opinion, the price even
of seventy shillings svaa in itself a prohibition in
ordinary years. He would now advert to the v.()
resolutions proposed by the Honourable Member for
Portarlington (Mr. Ricardo), and his Right Honour-
able Friend (Mr. Huskisson). The former proposed
that foreign corn should be admitted on a general
principle when the price rose to seventy eh:llings;
but that a prior entry should be given to corn in
warehouse, at a price of sixty-five shillings ; and that
if the market price should rise to eighty shillings,
then that foreign corn should be let in, subject to a
duty. He had himself proposed that the ports shoall
be opened at sixty-five shillings, subject to ?I duty of
twenty shillings, which (adding ten shillings, the ex-
pense of bringing the coin here), would make the
charge thirty shillings, and the whole amount ninety-
five shillings—a price that, he thought, would be a
complete protection. However, before anything prac-
tical was decided upon, public opinion was to be
consulted. He knew that an idea prevailed arno::7,
a great body of the agriculturists, that it would rst
be expedient to open the ports before the price rose
to eighty shillings. But he felt no alarm at the pre-
position of the Honourable Member for Portarling-
ton, or at that of his Right Honourable Friend ; f;r
if the duty was to be of an operative character, it
was better to begin early than to wait till a glut of
foreign corn was thrown into the market. However,
he did not himself propose any alteration of the price
at which foreign corn should be admitted. Yet, as
there was a great mass of foreign corn now in the
warehouses, he thought it would be advisable to al-
low it to be brought into the market sooner than the
law, as it now stood; permitted. Upon this point,
however, the Honourable Member for Somersetshire,
and the Honourable Member for Wiltshire, were very
tenacious, opposing the admission till the price rose
to eighty shillings, except in the case of corn which
had been in warehouses for a certain time. Now,
with respect to the scale of duty, the Honourable
Member for Somersetshire proposed forty shillings,
which he afterwards offered to reduce to thirty-five
shillings; but he might as well have said tlisove
should not have any importation of foreign corn at
all, unless the Trite could be unnaturally forced up;
for a duty of thirty-five shillings, with the addition C;
ten shillings, the expense of importation, wou!J
amount to an actual prohibition. It would be quite
impossible that the foreign grower could ever supply
us upon such terms. If the Honourable Baronet sup-
posed that an expense of forty-five shillings could
be charged on an article that already cost eighty shit.
Pings in the market, he supposed a measure that, it
carried, could not last for a week. He would ask
the House would not -repeal the Bill in one sitting?
He could not conceive any delusion greater than to
sanction such a principle. As to the proposition of
the Honourable Member for Wiltshire, it partook so
much of the nature of the other, that he could by no
means agree to it. The Honourable Member prc•
posed a duty of twenty-foiri shillings, which, with
the ten shillings added, made thirty-four shillings-3
charge infinitely too high ..to remain as fixed, who
.the price rose to eighty. shillings; This, likewise,
amounted to nothing shore- of a direct .prolfilviticli
and could not be admitted as a general principle.
Looking to the proposition of the Honourable Mon-
beretor Portarlington, he found that it was for havi4
fifed'duty always in operation, and :that it should
be regulated on a moderate scale.!
OropOsitioa
differed from that of his Right Honourable Frield:
inasmuch as Iris Right Honourable Friend wooll
make his duty of fifteen shillings not fixed in -dl
