The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. would
only say one word with.tbe view of diminishing the
alarm that seeped to prevail among
,many
able Members. He must calf their attention to a fiat-
ter whiih the) had all appeared .to' lose sight of, viz.
th4t the greater part of the duties which the Groom-
ment proposed to reduce were not raised for the pro.,
tection of the,internal trade. of .the country, but were
the effects of aFfidental circumstances ; as, daring the
period that it svai tonna necessary to raise money- by'
loins tO-criiiy on the 'current expenses of`the minty,
thote.duties were then impdsed, from time to time,. as
temporary .per centages to soar an extent, as to render
the article:. on whicktbey were set almost prohibitory.
What hi was then stating applied patticulaslytO cop-
per—it was proposed now to reduce the dirty on Caliper
to what it was in 1808 ; nobody at that time complailiedl
that the-copper mines in 'this country 'were not twortiti
working. We heard nothing then of the depression of
copper manufactories. He, did n't tbitlk that the
copper mines wou'4l be at an deteriorated,- by the pre-
sent reduction of duty. On the contrary, the 'demand
tor the article, in his opinion, would increase. He was
disposed to listen to any arguments that might be
adduced aping the measure: of his Right. Hon. Friend,
but unless the objections were founded on broad and
liberal principles, he hoped that his R'ght Hon. Friend
would meet with the support of the Horse—(Hear, hear).
Mr. TREMAYNE piedicted the ruin of the Cornish
copper mines from the proposed reduction on foreign copper.
Mr. T. WILSON thought the reductions should be
temporary until their probable results could be ascertained, or until
a proper scale at which to fix them could be ascertained.
Mr. GIPPS thought the proposed reduction of the
duty on Woollens lower than the security of the trade warranted.
Mr. LINDSAY feared the linen trade of Seealand
would be injured by the proposed reductions.
Sir R. FERGUSON recommended taking the duty
off hemp, which would enable us to put down the competition into
which the Germanald entered with us.

Sir H. PARNELL was of opinion, that the linen
trade required protection. .
Mr. C. GRANT thought that. the protective duties
on the Importation of corn required some revision.
ROUERTSON. felt most sensibly the concessions
grgotedloyards the promotion of commerce.
Sri 4"rIVIAN said,that unless the Cornwall miners
could get' seloo pet ton for their copper, they could Dot raise it,
and must therefore be ruined by the .p4;l;soaed.recluction.
. Mr. HUSKISSON'was of a different opinion. He
also wished to say, that the reduction of the duty on
books could not interfere with the Law of Copyright;
as a single copy imported of a work, towhieh there was
a copyright, was an infringement, and might be pro-
secuted as such.'
Mi. SYKES approved of the reduction of the duty
on wooL He was happy to think there was a prospect of the: Cora
Laws being put upon a new and a better footings
Mr. J. ISENCTT hoped the Right H mOurable Gen-
denim would 'equalize the duty oo the export and import of wool.
He hoped. the duty oo Canada Corn would mot be. Seed till the
Corn question should be settled.
Mr. HUME thought the tinge proper to reduce the
duty on Canadian timber. The Right Hon. Gentle-
man talked of a duty of three per cent. on gloves, but
in that case the article would. be smuggled into the
country. All that had been done hitherto was nothing
in comparison of the alteration in the Corn Laws..
Mr. HUSKISSPN said, he had no objection to
make the arrangement spggested by the Honottrahlp
Gentleman , (Mr. Lienett), with respect - to' exported
wool ; but he '.saw reason` 'reduce the duty on
yarn. Ai great deal of it would be exported as the
duty now stood. There was one description of iron
called scrap iron, the duty on which was 17s.
which he proposed to reduce to 12s. thick sonte.sur-
prise at what had fallen from. the Member for IV!pistycie

similarly circumstanced to the producers of wine at the
Cape: One party had been encouraged its well as the

article on which there was so great a reduction of duty'
