GRAM INTFItCOVItS, BILL.

The Houlfe went into a Committee on the mori
of Sir JOHN NEWPORT, on the Grain Interconrfe
Bill between Great Britain and Ireland, Mr. Hos-
NOUS/ in the Chair. The Chairman acquainted the
Committee, that progrefs had been made with the
Bill on a former day, which he was directed to re-
port nn the Committee having leave to fit again.
Sir WILLIAM CURTIS moved, that the aerie
introduced in a former flaw of the Bill, ott the fug•
gellion of Mr. Fetter, for regulating the general ex-
port and import average prices, by the prices of grain
in Great Britain and Ireland, timid be expunged,
on the ground that as grain was generally lower in
Ireland than Great Britain, the effett of this mode
of taking the average would prevent the importation
into Great Britain, even when grain maybe at the
import price in this country.
A long chi-cuff-ion took place on this queflion, Mr.
FOSTER, Mr. ROSE, Mr WESTERN, Mr. PER-
CIVAL, and Lord CASTLEREAGH contended,
on one hand, that though they might not be very
fanguine with rape& to the extent of the beneficial
operation of the chore, it would have a nrifehievous
effect to enact the general principle of unreilrained
intercourfe without fume adequate regulations. They
admitted the deli ablenefs of efiablifbing a complete
freedom in the intercourfe of the two countries, but
infifted that if the prices of Ireland fhould not be con•
tittered in making the average, tire prices of Great
Britain might give the import average, whi'.tl thofe
of Ireland would be under it ; in which cafe Great
Britain would have the advantage of the fi reign im.
port, as well as the import from Iteland, whillt Ire-
land would have no foreign import to replace her
fupply to the Br itifh Market. If the claufe fhould be
expunged, therefore, they fhould vote again(' the bill
until it fhould be taken up on broad grounds next
fefliqn.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT differed with thole Right
Hon. Gentlemen as to the operation of the Bill. lie
had, however, no oblation to taking the fenfe of the
Committee on the fubjea of the average, but was In
convinced of the ioundnefs of the principle of the Bill,
and the advantage it would Le of to Ireland, that
whatever the Committee might determine nn the
elaule in queilion, he lly,uld perfß. in! his original
meafure.

The CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQJER and
Mr. PAKNE.LL maintained, that a perfect freedom
in the intercourfe of the corn trade between the two
countries was allowed on all hands to be defirable,
and under that conviction they would (import the bill,
even though the Committee might rejea the claufe.
The (late of the hatveft in both countries was fuch,
as to preclude any apprehention of mifchief, and
every opportunity fhould be taken of carrying the
union into full effea. Some regulation of the nature
of that contained in the claufe would be neceffary,
but the queflion might and would be taken up in
next Sefton, when the Houfe would be better able
to decide from the information that would be obtain.
ed, what precife regulation ought to be adopted,.
which regulation might he enatted in a fupplemental
bill. A divifiois then took place.
For the Claufe 28—Againfl it 34.
The report was ordered to be received tomorrow.
itisoovtar DEBTORO SILL.
Mr. FRANCIS moved the Order of the Day for
the fecund reading of the Infolvent Debtor.' Bill.
Mr. CAR R expelled his difapprobation of the prin-
ciple of the Bill, which he thought an net of cruelty
to a great proportion of creditors in the country, par-
ticularly as a (imam. Bill had palled not more than'
two years ago. He coafidered it as holding out an
encouragement to debtors to throw themfelves into
jail, and wait for the pafiing of an Alt like the pre
fent. He had particular objeaions to a claufe in
the prefent Bill, which he Mould take an opportunity
of flaring.
I Mr. FRANCIS obfervest that if the Hon. Gen•
tleman had any thing to pr.( pofe with regard to the
particular claufes, it might be better done in the Corn-
mittee.—The Bill was then read a fecund time, and
committed for to-morrow.
