Board of Works in Ireland; on the inutility of which
a Committee of that House had already pronounced.

COTTON-YANN.
Sir OSWALD MOSELY presented a Petition,
signed by a number of the most respectable MeV.
chants, manufacturers, and warehousemen in the City
of London interested in the exportation of Cotton
piece goods. He said they complained of the expor-
tation of Cotton-yarn being permitted. They repre-
sented the exportation of Cotton-yarn as producing
effects tux only detrimental to their own interests,
but as impolitic in a national point of view, as it °illy
served to teed and encourage foreign manufactures,
and to. give theta an undue ad*antage over those of
outs country.- ri - • ,
The-Petition was theninioukhewp and read.
On the motion that it thluM Aetna the table, -
Mr. PHILLIPS said,
,ttiarhi-the subject of this
Petition was very interestirig,toAbe manufact}ie4
districts, ,he could not allow it to pass without a rew,
words. He complained that the principle on *bleb.
the Petitioners grounded their representation to the
Haus*, was illiberal end impolitic. The returns of
the amount of die imports, and exports proved that
there was an excess of 6,000,000 lbs. of the cotton'
woul imported, over the quantity exported, and this
eacese was.nt course, absorbed and-wrought op in the
British nt.inufactories of yarn. Most nations of the
Coosigent had imposed very heavy duties on the im-
portation of British cotton yarn, audio many of these
wiliest& the amount of the duty amounted to a total
prohibition. If, therefore, any new duty was laid on
the eeportatkr of cotton yarn from this country, it
Wastkuito evident that it would put an end to the ma.
salaam of cotton yarn in this country. Already it
was almost impossible to effect any sale of cotton
psi eicthe Continent. _
.Lord STANLEY thought restrictions on the ex:
motion of cotton yarn would only excite expect:lA
tiers which he was afraid might prove illusory.
Sir OSWALD MOSELY Moved that the Petition.
should lie on the table and be printed, which wai
