nity was not afforded them of giving their
on a measure which was decided upon the most nay.
row and intolerant principles. Such was the nattue
of the Lords' amendments, that it would do the
grepitest-possible injury to the people most materially
interested in this Bill.
Mr. BRIGHT was heartily glad the Bill was lost,
not so much because of the principle it contained,
but because that inquiry was refused here which was
agreed to by the Lords. He hoped the MI world

the same fate st now met.

as to the regulation of our trade. .The Bill was soldy
thrown out in the other House by the isterferenc4,4
a Learned Lord, whose opinion was against the ma.
jority of the Committee.
Mr. CANNING said that the object of his Right
Ron. Friend undoubtedly was to introd.ice a more
sound and liberal mode of legislation with respect to

their efforts by a race for a little popularity, the
course would prove a very unprofitable cne for the
_public, and little, if any, progress would ultimately
be made. He thought that the subject ought now to
be taken up in that House where those amendment;
Originated. In its present shape it would not be
satisfactory to any party—not even to those for whose
benefit the alterations were intended. It was to be
supposed, that the Lords themselves would take op
the question, as it would be very natural for them to
give effect to their own report in the next Session.
