and some strong rattles equal; lac if best was done' to either, it
was to Burn. •

tention of that Noble Earl to move the second reading of the

Lordship then postponed the second reading of the Bills con-
meted with the Navigation Laws to that day.
Sir 43.`Htt.t. and others brought up a Message from the Com-
mons requesting that the Marquis of Dowesiner be allowed to

rough of Devizes against the Catholic Peers Bill.—Laid on.the
table.—Adjourned.

ashire, against the Licensing Bill.--Ordered to lie on the table.

mit to the House a series of Resolutions, one of which would

fitments of his Majesty, in right of the Crown of Ireland, which
have been sold under Acts of the Irish Parliament, authorising
their sale : and of the appropriation of the sums received from
those-sales.
Sir GEORGE HILL said a few words ; after which the mo-
tion was agreed to.
Mr. lIUME then moved for a Return of the present income
of the Lands and Hereditament* not sold.
Sir G. HILL thought the motion was too general and exten-
sive. He had no objection to any particular return for any ob-
sect in the contemplation of the Hon. Member.
Sir J. NEWPORT thought the Return moved for would be
unnecessarily voluminous.
Mr. lIUME then withdrew his notice, and said he would
consult with the Right Hon. Gentleman, as to the best mode of
obtaining the inforntation necessary for his particular purpose.
Sir J. NEWPORT brought up the Second Report of the

certain &gathers of Yarn, in the town and neighbourhood of
Arbroath.,
Mr. PHILLIPS animadverted on the conduct of the Chan-
cePor of the Exchequer. He was so accustomed to impose-
burdens on the People, that be could not do a gracious thing
. towards the People without coupling it with something ungraai
does. This he instanced in the course pursued by the Right '
Honourable Gentleman when be introduced the Bill respecting
Spoiled Stamps, which be made the vehicle for imposing a
heavy tax on the transfer of agricultural property, and this
was the way in which he had thought it right to shew his re.
gird for the agricultural interest.—The Petition was ordered
to Ile on the table.
- Sir A. DON presented a Petition from the Skinners, Tan-
ners, Carriers, and others concerned in the Leather Trade, in
the town of Kelso, Roxburgbsbite, praying the Repeal of the
Leather Tax.—Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Alderman BRYDGES presented a Petition from the
Muter, Wardens, and Fellowship of the art and mystery of
Clothmaking. The Petitioners set forth that a very great trade
Was formerly carried on by the manufacturers of clocks and
watches. but of late years, from the 'number of foreign clocks
std watches introduced into this country, their trade bad fallen
Ile, those connected with it reduced to great distress, and many
brought to a state of paoperism. The Petitioners now com-
plained of the provisions contained in a Bill lately introduced,
which authorised the warehousing of foreign clocks, watches,
and watch glasses, as they were apprehensive that the articles
SS warehoused would either find their way into the home, or,
being altered in appearance, be exported to foreign markets as
*Wes of British manufacture. They therefore prayed that;
that part of the Bill to which they alluded might not be suffered
to pass into a law.
Mr. THOMPSON, in seconding the Petition, observed that
he concurred in all the opinions expressed in it. He had reason
to know that the greatest alarm prevailed amongst all persons
engaged in the watchmaking trade respecting, this measure ; and,
for his awn Fart, he believed that their apprehensions were not
groundless. fhe frauds which would arise out of it were obvious.
it was the duty of the House to protect our own manufan-
tures in the first place, he thought this Petition entitled to great,
attention. It was to be observed that the Petitioners did not
Merely state that the measure would be disadvantageous to their
trade, ' • that it would absolutely destroy it—(Hear).—The
House should, at all events, afford such protection to the English
'Manufacturers as would not expose them to an unfair competio
don with the foreigner, who, from the cheapness of labour in
other countries, and the absence of taxation, was enabled to sell
the article at lower price. For these reasons he hoped the
House would not pass into a law that part of the Bill in question,
from which the Petitioners apprehended such ruinous results.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, for the last ten years they bad
been iu the habit of receiving representations of the distressed
state of the numerous class of persons connected with the watch
and clock trade. The had certainly lost much of their foreign
trade, and the provisions of that Bill against which they now
petitioned, went to take from them the home market, to the
supply of which they were now confined. He thought that the
Petitioners were fairly entitled to have their case taken into

Mr. WALLACE said, this was not the time to enter upon '
the subject of the Petition. When the Bill got to a Committee
the proper opportunity would occur for taking it into consider-
ation.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Xs E. BUItDETT presented a Petition from certain Agri-
culturists in the Parish of Bratling, in the Isle of Wight, com-

Sir W, LEMON presented a *Petition from several
Persons engaged in the Fish-curing Trade of Corn-

aiatred that the proposed modification of the present
duty would- opei,ate at a new tax. lie thought no-

ment cheered by the Hon. Members. 'lli should be
happy to find the tax repealed ; but be would not
wish to have it repealed at the expense of public credit.
Mr. TREMAYNE said, he had nodosibt-theChan-
cellor of the Exchequer was not aware of-the sevei ity
with which this tax pressed upon the fisheries. One
individual engaged in that branch of trade would
have to pay eight thousand pounds for duties, in Ja-
nuary next. He saw no chance of relief but in the
total repeal of the tax.
Sir *M. W. RIDLEY thought the taking off of a
tax would be as beneficial if proposed by any Mem-
ber, as it would be if proposed by the Right Hon.
Gentleman.. The tax on salt would have a consider-
able effect on those engaged in the manufacturing of
glass bottles. They would have to pay £6 a ton for
their alkali, instead of 50s. as heretofore..
Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN said, he thought a total
repeal of the tax was most desirable ; but he had no
wish to disturb the general satisfaction which pre-
vailed in the House when the Right Hon. Gentleman
brought the subject forward, and be had therefore
abstained from remarking upon it.
Mr. BRIGHT spoke in favour of the total repeal.
He was satisfied the repeal woubLnot affect the Re-
venue ; and he, therefore, hopel the Hon. Member
(Mr. D. Gilbert) would be induced to vote for the
repeal, even though it should be proposed) from his
(Mr. Bright's) side of the House.
Lord A. HAMILTON said, that when the Bill
came regularly before the House, he should be pre-
pared to shew the effect of the tax upon Scotland.—
He understood that that part of the country was not
to be benefittedby the repeal, though it would in its
consequences be injurious to Scotland. He looked
at the question as one affecting the general welfare
of the empire—(Hear, hear).
• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
it was his intention to propose a clause, exempting
Scotch salt from the duty. As the tax would fail
heavily upon Ireland, he purposed also proposing a
measure for the relief of that part of the kingdom.—
Upon the question respecting the Fisheries, he con-
fessed be had net yet been able to make up his mind.
It was an important subject; and he was not yet pre-
pared to give up so considerable a portion of the
Revenue as that arising from salt consumed in the
fisheries. He thought, -however, that these points of
detail should be reserved until the question came be-
fore the House in a regular shape.
Mr. C ALCR AFT agreed that the discussion should
not be anticipated ; but it was an advantage for the
Right Hon. Gentleman to hear the sentiments of those
whose local situations gave them opportunities of
judging of the effect of the Tax. It was evident that
the more the Right. Hon. Gentleman proceeded in his
measure, retaining a pact of the duties, the more he
was surrounded by difficulty. The retention of. the
tax was, in fact, putting a new tax upon another class
of the people. It would be better to give up the
paltry remnant of the'tax ; and he trusted the Right
Hon. Gentleman would gain himself the credit of
doing so before the end of Session. He (Mr. Cal-
craft) understood from the Salt Shippers of Liverpool,
that it wool! be impossible for them to collect their
debts from the retail dealers if the tax were retained.
Mr. HUME said, the bleachers, who were much
interested in this tax, would not be able to carry on
their .trade if the tax were continued in the shape
proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. WOPEHOUSE said that the present tax was
in all respects a new tax. He implored the Right
,Honourable Gentleman to remit the tax altogether,
and he might be assured that his doing so would
be considered the most acceptable boon he could
offer to the People.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said the remnant of the tax
would operate as an additional burden upon Ireland.,
Mr. CARTWRIGHT suggested that the repeal of
the Leather Tax should be suspended for the present,
and that the whole of the Salt Tax should be taken off.
Mr. C. HUTCHINSON assured the Right Hon.,
Gentleman he had received, communications from
Ireland expressing the greatest alarm at the tax as it
was now proposed to retain it. He trusted the Right'
Hon. Gentleman would give it up.
Sir ISAAC COFFIN .said, the fishermen would
by this tax he deprived of the means of living alto-
gether. He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would
not forget that the fisheries were the nurseries for
British seamen, who bad so often deserved and re-
ceived the thanks of the country.
Mr. CURWEN trusted the Right Hon. Gentle-
man would not persevere and force the House to
compel him to give up-the tax.
Mr. W. SMITH said, that the fisheries had long
been a losing trade in consequence of the heavy pres-
sure of this tax. The proposed drawback on expor-
tation would be of no assistance to them, for they
could not defray the expense attending the tax as it
affected home consumption.
Mr.T. WILSON was not one of those who thought
the Salt Tax should be wholly taken off, unless mea-
sures were suggested for making up -the deficiency in
the Revenue which such a measure would occasion.
Mr. LESTER supported the prayer of the Petition.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD described the injurious
consequences which retaining the proposed amount
of duty would have on the trade of Leland, which
was already so distressed that it could hardly sustain
the burdens already imposed on it. He would be
the last man to start _unnecessary objections to the
plans of his Right Hon. Friend, but in the present
case he felt thatlie should fail in his duty if he wele,
,not to state that to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
which he knew must speedily be pressed on his attest-.
tion from other quarters.
Sir IL FERGUSSON chewed that the duty pro-
posed to attach to the fisheries, though it would be
felt severely by the parties, • would contiibute but a
very small sum to the Revenu.e.—The Petition was
then read, and ordered to be printed.
MUMMY OS THE COUNTRY.

Mr. WESTERN, pursuant to the notice which he
bad given, rose to perform a duty which he regarded
as one of great importance. He thought it right to
say, that, op his opinion, the present calamitous si-
tuation of the country ought to be aiirribeci to that

,genre,
result of a very laborious inquiry, commenced and
prosehited with a sincere desire to get at the real
truth. At the outset, then, he took upon himself to
arraign the wisdom, justice, and policy, of that mea-
sure, which had been adopted by the House some.
years ago—the measure under which the country had
returned to the old standard of our currency. Among
the authors of that measure, there were men to whose
opinions he looked up with great deference.' He did
not mean to treat it as one which had been exclusively'
framed 'by his Majesty's Ministers. He knew that it
had passed with the concurrence of the most distin-1
guished Members of that House; and, therefore, i*
bringing forward this motion he did not mean to up-1
braid Ministers with it; and still less did he mean to
censure those of their opponents who had given it
the sanction of. their approbation: He considered
their authority entitled to great weight; but still, as
he could not regard any set of men as infallible, he
must hold that it was possible 'for them at times to
be egregiously'in error. In the case to which he now
wished to direct the attention of the House, he was
of opinion that at no period had a body of statesmen,
in this or in any ether country, committed a more
fatal error, than had been committed by the passing
of the Act for returning to the ancient standard of
our currency. When he spoke thus, he did not mean
to confine himself to the Act of 1819, • but he spoke
of that together with the concurrent measures of the
years immediately preceding.. He had at the outset
arraigned the wisdom, policy, and justice of the mea-
sure, and he felt justified in going further, and say-
ing, that to that all the present lamentable distress,
and all the difficulties with which the country had to
contend were to be ascribed. He did not deny that
there were circumstances which, without this, would
press heavily on the country.' The taxation under
which it laboured--the laws respecting British agri-
culture, and the Poor-rates, were sufficient to cause
a considerable pressure, without the currency; but
with these the country had thriven and prospered,
and with these it had still continued to thrive and
prosper, but for the adoption of that injurious and
fatal measure, to which he now called their attention.
He wpuld undertake to prove that this measure
pressed severely on all classes, with the exception of
the fundholder and the annuitant, and if he failed to
make out this, he would give up the subject altoge-
ther. He would also shew that the severe distress at
present experienced in Ireland was to be ascribed to
this measure. He begged to call the attention of the
House to the moral and political effects of lowering
or raising the value of money. He accordingly
shewed the effect which each operation must produce
on the situation of a person possessing £lOOO per
annum, whom he supposed to owe £5OO out of the
£lOOO, and shewed that the operation of the two
changes would go to strip him of his whole property.
This, it could be :hewn, was the case, or nearly the
case, in thousands of instances where mortgages had
been made, and obligations contracted, under the al-
'tered currency. Though it was obviously desirable
to avoid lowering the value of money below the re-
gular standard, yet this would not, morally speak-
ing, produce the same extent of injury, nor did it
physically produce the same degree of evil, as raising
it would not fail to do. In the latter case it affected
all classes, down to the meanest labourer. The dif-
ference between raising and lowering the value of
money ought never to have been left out of the con-
templation of those who decided on giving up the
standards by which the concerns of the country had
been regulated for a quarter of a century. The mea-
sure had enormously 'increased all the burdens of the
country. Though he did not wish to call the atten-
tion of the House to an essay on the theory of money,
he felt it-necessary to submit to them some gene; al
propositions, to which he thought no one would
object, on the uses, functions, and nature of money.
By all modern authorities it was agreed that money
was only important As a medium of exchange and
a measure of value. By Doctor Adam Smith it
was said to be valuable, as a necessary instrument
of commerce, but it formed no part of the Reve-
nue of a State. One essential quality in money
was this, that it should be as invariable as possible.,
—On this account the precioui metals had been pre-
ferred by the common consent of mankind, but these
were not secure from variations. The State of the
mines being more or less productive, or the discovery
of new mines might cause their value to vary. Ocher
causes might affect their value, such as an increase
or a falling off in the demand, or the adoption of sub-
stitutes for them. As soon as a credited currency had
been established, which was the case here, and in other
parts of the world, as a part of the aggregate cur-
rency, the character of the metals for invariability
must necessarily be affected. Other circumstances,
:itch as the increase of wealth and population, would
also change.their value: and these in modern times,
but for that credited currency, which had been brought
to such perfection, would have rendered the supply
.of the metals, if the mines were not more productive
than formerly, inadequate to supply the demand.—
He then read extracts from Locke and Dr. Adam
Smith, on the character of the precious metals,- and
shewed that, in some instances, it had. appeared, that
rents received in corn had, in a long course of years,
varied less in value than those paid in money. Ho
proceeded to shew what had been the effect of the
depreciation of money during the late war. He. was
not one of those whp thought the country had only
enjoyed a fictitious prosperity. To him it appeared
that we had acquired all that had constituted 'real
wealth, while that state of things continued, and at
the same time the population had increased more ra-1
pidly perhaps than it had ever done within a like
period before. In spite of all the pressure of the war
the nation had advanced with rapid strides in her agri-
culture, in her manufactures, and in her commerce;
in everything that could indicate real wealth. This
wealth remained to us at the end of the period to
which he had referred, and was available for
all pur-
poses. In former times, under circumstances some-
what similar, the population had increased as wealth
was accumulated. This would be seen from an -ex-
tract from a work written by Lord Bacon, then Sir.
Francis Bacon, towards the close of the reign of Lli.

' ilacreased currency, bad been stated by Mr. Hume;
and it was curious that the same ell kal. should then
be produced' at PeriOdi so distant, friSth eitFh other iq
this, and as he. believed in every other country from
the same cause. He 'proceeded"tosbew how the value
of gold might be carried down by, a great credit cur•
rency, and, on this 4ubject he referred to a very able
speech' which had been made by the Chancellor ef
the Exchequer some years ago, in vfhith the Right
Hon.Gentieman hie described the difference between
paper and gold, and explained the circumstances
which ought to be regarded as affecting the [nice
of the latter. He (Mr. Western) considered the al-
teration of the currency to have altered the prices of
Wheat. To ascertain this he had looked back at the

-prices of wheatin the one hundred and fifty year ante-
rior to the commencement ofthe late war. Heltad got
,the average price, of each ten years through that pe.
riod, and these he had turned into averages of 50 years.
Not to detain the House with the whole, he would
merely state the average prices of corn in each fifty
years of the period to which he had referred. In the
first fifty years, ending in 1695, the average price of
the quarter of wheat was 445. 9J. In the second fifty
years, the price was Us. Id. and in the last fifty
years, ending in 1793, the prise was 445. 3d.—there
being a difference of only a few pence between the
prices• of the first and last periods. In the period
which had since followed, the average price had beea
in the first ten years, ending in 1803, 795. 11d. is
the second ten years, ending 1813, the price was 995.
During the period of 150 years which he had men-
tioned, he believed the highest price of the quarter of
corn was 525. In the first ten years which followed,
the price advanced to 80s. and in the next to 100 s.
•IHe believed war had commonly little effect on the
price of corn. The average price of a quarter of
corn in the five years before 1756 was U. 14-. The
average of the five years ending; in 1763 sea, 1/. I Ts.
In 1764; the average price was 21. Is. in 176 • it was
21. Bs. and the average of the first five ; ears after
1765 was 21. ss. He now came down to the Ameri-
can war. The average price of corn in the hve years
immediately preceding the American war was 2.1.11 r.
The average price during the whole war nas 21.65.
This was less than the average price of the five years
preceding the war. The price in the year after the
war was 21. 14s..and the average price in the first
five years was 21. Bs. 2d. the average dialing the
whole of the American war having been V. 6, He
argued from this, that war did not necessarily increase
the price of corn. He also drew his argument from
another fact—from the Reports of the quantity ri
corn sold in the London markets in the years 181'2
and 1821. This tact was very curious, and corrobo-
rated his position thoroughly. It would be thought,
very naturally, that the demand for corn had in-
crcased in that period in the same ratio as the popu-
lation had increased. In 1812, the quantity of wheat
sold was 380,921 quarters. at 1255. per quarter. In
1821, the sale was 985,600 quarters, being a smaller
quantity, at the rate of 50s. He should •be glad to
hear it stated that this alteration could have occurred
from any other circumstances than the operations
which had been effected with regard to the currency.
This was the cause of the existing distress, and not
an abundance of corn. He should presently make
out that this measure had not only sunk the value of
corn, but that every other species of property had
fallen in value, although not to the same extent.—
When the measure for the restoration of the currency
was first proposed, the Right Honourable Gentleman
opposite said that they were only doing what had
been done in the reigns of Edward I. and Elizabeth.
He could shew that this modern measure had no ana-
logy to the operations which were effected in those
.remote times. With regard to Edward I. there could
be no return to an ancient standard, because the
coinage then in circulatipn consisted of nothing but
counterfeits. • Edward VI. had the coinages for re-
storing money to the value of the standard of Heart
• the Eighth, and such interference, no doubt, created
• considerable embarrassments and difficulties at the
time. But it was set forth in the diary of Edward
• the Sixth, that these alterations were made for the
purpose of paying his debts; in fact, the object was
tO cheat his creditors. I3ut these alterations were
never intended to be permanent. They did not last
more than six years, notwithstanding that they had
not the effect of disturbing private contracts, much
less so dreadful an operation upon a public debt as
this country now suffered under. They had, indeed,
no real effect upon the standard, for they ended in
six years by the Act of the sth of Edward VL The
statesmen of those days knew better than to revert to
the ancient standard of Henry the Eighth, which had
been abandoned only twenty-five years, even with-
out that pressure which now weighed down the re-
sources of the country. In the case of William IIL
there was no alteration made in the currency—.
(Hear, hear, from Mr. Peel).--.-He knew that•a quan-
tity of debased and clipped coin had been called in—
(Hear, hear)—but it was taken in taxes, and not
again issued. He must say, therefore, that it was
perfectly puerile to say that a measure like the pre-
sent bore any similarity to those of our ancestor.
The House must retrace their. steps in a measure
which they undertook in ignorance; and he took
blame to himself that he did not at first remonstrate
against it with all the pos% er he possessed. He would
warn Honourable Gentlemen, by •the responsibility
which attached to them, not to let any false or mis•
taken pride instigate them to refuse an investigation
of a measure that had produced effects which at the
time they could not foresee; for if they did so, they
would be turning their backs upon the country and
betraying its real interests. The HonOurable Ale.m-
ber then read some passages from Hume and LOCEe,
upon the probable results of alterations in the cur-
. rency, which he considered to be singularly prophetic
of the distress in wliich the country was now plunged.
IHe contended that the elect •of the alteration could
