WA ZEMOII.IIB, CONN SILL: •
The Marquis of LANsDaeition the absence of his Nellie
Friend tViscnunt Goderich), moved the order of the day for the
third reading of the Warehoused Corn Bill.
• The Earl of MALMESBURY opposed t'.e Bill alto-
gether. He considered it altogether unn-cessarv, when
it was known that the pi ice of wheat had not for yearst
reached what Government had Sled upon as the re-
munerating price. The effect it would have would be.
in a very short time, to reduce the price of wheat eight
or ten shillings a quarter. which would, of cour.e,
be fraught with ruin to the agricultural interest. H-!
bad nu objection to the measure in 'so far as it regarded,
the introduction of barley, which circumstances had
rendered necessary ; but thought that no 'such necessity
existed for the importation of foreign wheat. The No-'
ble Earl concluded by stating, that he had availed him-
self of that opportunity of once more renewing his pro•
test against what he must ever consider a most cruel,
dangerous, and unjust measure.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN expressed .his fire[
conviction that if, by any accident, the coming harvest
were to be delayed, a rapid and ruinous rise must ine-
vitably take place in the price of corn—a rise which
would be equally destructive to the agriculturist and'
the consumer; to the consumer, in the brit instance,
by whom great suffering would be experienced; and,
subsequently, to the agriculturist, who, when wheat
should have reached the importation price, would suffer
from the admission of foreign corn.. Such might be the
state of things under the existing law; and against these
calamities it was necessary to guard. The object of
the present Bill was to prevent their occurrence. The
apprehensions excited in regard to the admission of
bonded grain were unfounded. If the harvest were
good, but a small portion of this corn could be intro-
duced ; if, on the contrary, it proved unproductive, the
introduction of it would be advantageous and necessary.
The present was a limited and temporary measure, in-
tended to guard against what might prove no limited
or temporary evil.
The Marquis of SALISBURY said, when Noble
Lords talked of introducing only 600,000 quarters of
foreign corn at the utmost, and in case of necessity, they
knew not what they were saying. They might be con-
senting to the introduction of 1,000,000 quarters for
aught they knew to the contrary. The present Bill
was originated not as a precautionary measure, but with
a view to the improvement of therevenne, by that most
odious and abominable of taxes, a bread tax, which was
at once an injury inflicted on the people, and a direct
• robbery as it regarded the agriculturist. .

Lord ELLENBOROUGH would vote for the mea-
sure as an experiment, without pledging himself to the
principle involved in the Bill. He was the more in-
clined to adopt this course, in order that Parliament
might be enabled to go into the question, with the ad-
•antage of that experiment before its eyes.

Earl STANHOPE characterised the measure as an
act of public plunder, and declared it to be his opinion,
that if the price of corn were reduced, taxes could not
be paid. The present attempt formed a part of the
system now in operation, and which was calculated to
produce a revolution in the established usages and go-
vernment of the country. He should therefore think it
right to record his protest against the measure in the
J urnals of the Home.

Lord CARBERRY complained of the collision hi the present
Bill of a clause embodied in the previous one, and which was
thought calculated to protect Irish Interests.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, every reasonable expecta-
tion might be entertained that such a clause would be introduced
into any measure which might be brought forward in another
Session.

After an observation from the Karl of Matmesstrav,
Lord RBDESDALE observed, that the present measure,
though temporary in point of form, was intended to be permanent
in principle, and on that ground he objected to it. He was not one
of those who entertained an idea of the probability of scarcity under
the existing Corn Laws. The BM now before their Lordships was
a most iniquitous measure, supported on false pretence., and the
ultimate effect of which might be the sobversicxi of our happy Con-
stitution and Government, by King, Lords, and Common., as by
law established. The Noble Lord concluded, by declaring his in-
tention to record his opinion of the inexpediency and Injustice of
the measure on the Journals of the House.—The MU was then read
a third time and passed.
