P attention of the Calamine* to one point. Undoubtedly
there would be many, and ought to be many, oppor
`.tonities of discussinif the principle of this measure at a
-future stage. The discussion might have been continue
,ad, but having got to an Amendment, it would be more
'consistent to dispose of that, than discuss the general
optimum. The Right Hon. Gentleman therefore sug-
gested, that after having come to a vote on the single
proposal, the Committee should not vile bn the 60s.
but adjourn till to. morrow. He had still a few words to
say as to the question which had been put to him by an
Hon. Member, who asked why 60s. had been selected ?
It was difficult to select any particular price, but the rea•
son applied to the adoption of that was founded upon the
averages. In 1815, the price was 80c. That was taken
with reference to the average of twelve years. Si:
years the price was 98s. and the other six 90s. In the
year 1822, the price was 70a. and the preceding
averages had given something more than 745. The
average of the last four years had been 60s. and from
all the averages they had selected an average in favour
of the agriculturists. The price of 60s. had been taken
as the most blameless assumption, and one on which it
was most difficult to object. In that instance they had
a safe price, which the agriculturists had a right to
consider not unfavourable to them. The next question
put by the Hon. Gentleman was, why any alteration
had been made? The reason was plain : the law under
which the country was placed was this :--until the price
of corn reached 80s. no foreign corn could be imported.
That state of the law it was most important to alter.—
It could not remain, and therefore the alteration was

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was true
that the Bill fur regulating Weights and Measures bad produced a
great deal of discussion, as any Bill upon such a subject naturally
would; hat if he was not mistaken, there was in that Bill an ex-
press provision, that although buying and .cling cora was to be
regulated by Imperial meanie, the calculations of Receivers and
Inspectors of foreign earn in the examhustiou of imparted corn,
were to he made according to Winchester measure. They bad

Mr. BROUGHAM wished the two measures were adjusted.
--He would support the original ResoLotion, though be thought
the price too high instead of too low. The Ansesdasent of the
Honourable Member (Mr. Hanka) would tend to raise the price,

highly approved of the principles a the intended change, which
was no longer to be resisted by the trade of the country. The Hos.
°endemism contended fat the necessity of cooties to a vete en the
speedos. and argued on the necessity for maintaining steady prices,.
and putting an end to the ruinous system of reneges
Mr. Secretary CANNING was ready to aver the Her. and
Learned Gentleman some consolation ea that proceeding which he
had se much deprecated. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had I
expressed his suspicion of some change of policy. Me could yen. I
tore to assert. not from his own knowledge, but authority almost
equivalent, that the Committee which a Noble Rai elsewhere had
ebseined, was promised some time since, under an express under-
that the en airy was not to be protracted so as to inter-
fkrelltia the p ge in that Hasse. The enquiry was not to
essiskte any thing which bad been done by a Committee of that
Henee. It was a promise given long ago, and the Noble Earl to
whom the promise was given was disposed to keep all the terms of
the compact. It would not delay the proceedings In that House.
Mr. ODRHOUSR thought that the tendency of the measure
was to keep wheat steady at about eCs. and it should therefore'
have his support..
Sir JOHN BRBRIGIIT said, that not only the agriculturists,
but every other class were deeply indebted to the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman for the principles he had adopted.
Mr. BARING spoke a few words, hot the cries of " Question
and adjourn" were so loud and general, that be could not be heard

in the iallery.
Lord MILTON thought it better to dispoee of the question
upon the Amendment to•mislit.
Sir T. ACLAND was determined to give the 'Daman oppor.
tunity of dividing upon the question of adjournment. He had
heard enough to induce him to agree with the proposition of the
Hon. Member fir Wareham, if he could be certain of being met in
good faith. But if they were to assent to that proposition and
efterwarda to have long debates with a view to lessen the proteetien
to be offered, then they would have sustained a disadvantage by
their concession.
Mr. Secretary CANNING said,there was a distinct propoddon
before the House, and it appeared most desirable to dispose of that
jundon. If it would afford any satisfaction to the Hoes. Gentle-
am he could assure him that beevoild as strongly resist the ma.
