confidence. on this occasion, upon his Majesty's Minis-
ters. They had the best opportunities of conidgilig,
the subject, and hr hoped their s)atein would be found
to afford a fair dree of prtitettfon to Ilse agricultural
interest. *There bad been much unnece.saly claturin
on both sides. He hOpird, however, that the present
measure would be- found conducive to the welfare of
all classes.
Lord HOWICK commented on some of the state-1
ments and arguments of the worthy Alderman, and
declared his intention to vote for the Amendment.

Sir F. BURDETT said, that he should not enter into
the question so as to be troublesome to the Committee,
bat should briefly state his opinions upon one or two
points. The.landed Gentlemen of England were not of
the gra•ping disposition imputed zo them by the Worthy
Alderman% They were on the Contrary, he firmly be-
lieved, the most liberal and high-minded class of per-
ions to be found in any country.--The Honnurable
Baronet considered the interest of the landholder and
the manufacturer inseparable. If one was impoverished,
the other must be in the same situation. Sorbething
had been said about a departure from Win Chester
measure for Imperial • measure. The observations
which arose upon the change in the Standard mea-
sures, would apply to the present state of the country.
He was one who thought the distress of the country.
Artificial. It had been occasioned by bad legisla-
tion; in changing the commln measure of the coun-
try—the currency. Every man found that his income
had b reduced by that change about one third.: owl
the country Gentlemen, when called on to pay their
taxes, found themselves embarria'itd. If the currency
had not been altered, there would have been no agri-
cultural distress. 11:fore that elevation there i!se no
distress among agriculturists, and the wonder was, how
the country had borne the buithen of the war without
injury to agriculture ? At the close of the war. it
was floorishing. If that oas so, was it not a (oh:
ei clog proof that the aviculture of the county hid,
not been injured by the importation of foreign corn?
—When, some, time since, the right of the public
creditor was agitated, it was said, " We will strip
the coats off our backs, rather than injure the public
creditor." The Hon. Baronet was of opinion, that
Parliament was bound to observe the same faith with
the landholder .as the public creditor, and when they
altered the currency, they broke. faith with the landed
interest, as ouch as if they had reduced the National
Debt, and defrauded the public creditor. It was the
duty of Government to keep the currency at a fixed
,standard. With respect to the question before the
House, he was disposed to support the resolutions. The.
Hon. Baronet thought high prices for corn were better
than low prices. It was not likely corn would rise to a
rice which would give the petiple much advantage Irons
the intended measure. However there might be a famine
price. and therefore the Resolutions ought to be adopted.
If instead of going suddenly to a gold standard of cur:
uncy, a proper remedy had been applied for the de-
predation, the country might have been at that time
in a state of prosper.ty. He could not think there was
then any room to do good for the country, but if the
country Gentlemen expected good the measure before
the House, he was satisfied with it. The Hon. Baronet
was prepared to oppoett any proceeding which might
injure trade. .

Oa the opening of the Gallery we found the Committee is di..
cession upon the amount of duty to be paid, when the price was
sixty shillings.
Mr. FRRGUSSON said, that there appeared to be still a great
many Members whO thought that Soo was tee low as ao average,
sad 70 too low as au importing price. Anomie' the raretedm_
price to be 60e. there would be so protection at all fee aims(
at tos. The Hon. Member concluded some ether meamabs by,
proposing that when the price was at liSs. the duty Amid be air
shilling instead of two.

be estirely against the principle of the measure—for It 'would, in
effect. make the average ids. instead of 60e. and the imparting price
nog. instead of 70a. The Ameodamot was &mar withdraws.
