AGRICULTURAL MIMICS&
Mr. BESETF presentee! a Petition from certain
Landholders in Wiltshire, complaining of Agricultural
Distress. The HOU. Gentlemsn observed, that the far-
mer. who had always given his money when he lead ir,
to support the exigencies of the state, and had exposed
hls person also in the service ofhisrountry, lead a strong
claim epon the Legislature f..r relief in his day of dis-
tress. He maintained it was taxation that must depress
the power of the farmer to compete with the foreign
corn grower. It hail been the opinion of those most
eopersant with the matter, that the landlord ought to
have one third of the produce of the land for his rent.
Dot in consequence of the increase of taxation, and the
poor rates, it was now impossible to obtain rent at so
high a rate. He did not think their conditios was so
deplorable as some seemed to think; but if the House
did not take it into their eerions consideration, the pre-
sent state of the landed interest, to whose fate was
bound that of the azrieultitral classes, and the peasantry
of the country, that valuable interest would be com-
pletely lost and destroyed. Too little attention hs his
opinion had been paid to their calls fur relief during the
Session, and lee hoped that the House would not separate
that night without expressing its decided opinion on
t'eis momentous question. He hoped they would not be
sent back amougst their Cc restituents with the stigma
that they had trilled with their distress, and turned a
deaf ear to their complaints. He hoped, therefore, that
many, more able than himself, would speak upon the
subject, in order that such an impremiou might Pot go
forth.—(Hear, bear.)—He moved that the Petition be
brought up.
Mr. ELLICE seconded the motion of his Honourable

putting
a stop to all dismission, Ii tlllerHouse.on this subject.—
The only purpose Bost itaditeest answered by the appoint-
ment of tails Committee mass that of enabling public be-
siness to go on without the impediment it might have
met with (rem the constant recurrence of a theme that
occupied all minds. He thought it would have been
more honest, In the first instance, to haveannv►red those
whoclatneared for relief, that it was unprofitable to give
them any more than what coed be derived from the
measures of Government, announced at the commence-
ment of the Session, which was 'text to saying that they
eonld do nothing at all for them. He had looked at the
Report of this Committee, and from it be learned, and
the Howe and the conotry would be surprised to hear it,
that all they hail done was to see bow far it was possible
to raise the price of core. They bad thought only of
giving the firmer a remunerating price, without consi-
dering how the consumer would be erected by such a
course. If it had been fairly stated at the commence-
ment that this was all the Committee were to direct
their attention to, he was sure the House would not
have allowed it to have been appointed. If they had
done their duty, it might possibly have occurred to them
to look a little into the causes of that situation of the
agricultural interest which it was their ostensible pur-
pose to investigate. They might have thought it in-
cumbent on thine to consider how far over-taxation had
been the cause of it; sad also bow far, what he should
continue to desicnate, the fatal errois made in the al.
teration in the currency in 1819 had coutributeil to the
Eisend distress. But el these points had been stu-
diously kept out of view. The very first paragraphs of
the Report set out with stating the low price of corn,
arising from overstocked markets. In the view the
Committee hatlmicen of this part of the subject, they
seemed to have left out of their consideration the damp
harvest that had prevailed throughout the whole south
of England, which hail obliged all the farmers in-that
part of the ,00notry to beat out their corn. Resides•
which, they were obliged to do so to pay their rents.—
Upon this state of things, however, they had come to
the coeclusion, that it was expedient to advance s sum
, of one million of money, upon the warehousing of this
ansoanil grain. This, it must Le Clear to the House and
the country, was not the way to look at the question of
the present distress. It wits not what was or oagbr
to he, the price of corn, that was to be considered—
it was what was, and should he the price of the best
wheaten bread to the consumer. Taking the price
of the hest wheat at fifty or sixty shillings a quar-
ter, it would be from 2.1 to 39 per cent. shove any other
market in the world. In this state of things, 'bow was
the country to maintein its looting ar the first commer-
cial nation? Toe revolt must he, that we should first he

as any our could do for the distresses of the
agricultural elas.es, hit lie tlion!-ht the Committee had
completely mistaken the mature of their duty, in setting
out of sight the iutrrest of the consumer. Ile would
