The debate and proceediegs on Mr. Bromcoaree
motioo, last night, present several very serious coot&
aerations to the mind. The motion was to the fol-
lowing effect :—" That it is the bounden dsty of Aft
House, well considering the pressure of the public har-
dens on all classes of the community, and particularly
on the Agricultural Classes, to pledge Itself to obtsle
for a suffering people such a reduction of taxatleo as
would afford them effectual relief."—The direct new
tire to such a proposition, would be fatal to those ea-
ticipations of benefit to be derived from the protest
Session, in which we hare freely and even proudly,
indulge. But my Lord LONDONDIRRY did not dire to
ask a direct Negative from the House. He moved ther
previous questions; on pretences too plausible to be do.
tected by any but very clear heads, or refused by say
bat very firm and hardy nerves. He seemed, oily
to beg of the House to delay its decisioo on
Mr. BROUGHAM'S proposition till Ministers should
have produced their plat of relief for the distresses of
the country. No less a number, however, that ow
hundred and eight of the Commons refused their assent
to this gentle request: thereby showing the time
temper of the house as to the ultimate success of Mr.
BROUGHAM'S motion. We do not know that Lori
LONDONDERRY ever Lad a more difficult task I. per.'
form, than that of last night; or that he ever footed,
with eo mach skill or dexterity. He felt a real fear of
the disposition of the house ; and that fear (w►icfi be,
could not wholly veil) he had the artifice SC Um*

his advantage. by making it the instrument of gaining
the companion of the House. His Lordship RHOS
made the majority of those to whom he appealed, pw
takers of the error of making the lavish greats .4
which Mr. BROUGHAM so powerfully complained. A
large majority of his Lordship's bearers were (arm hit
appeal to them) compelled to say within themselves.—
we sanctioned that dreadful expenditure, at the time,
and shall we now refuse to hear what Ministers have
to offer for our relief? They bad not
whatever their longing for reduction of taxes may be.
But my Lord LONDONDERRY has gained little by
his temporary triumph. Those who helped him
to gain it, fought with reluctance, and abysses ;
and will fight with him and for him, as long
as they continue that game, with escrowed re-
lactase& Meantime, we hope they have all learnt
one great lesson from the very nature of his de-
fence of himself and his colleagues. His Lordship ab-
solutely t mow of their responsibility for the lavish ex-
penditare of the last war, and cast it upon the very
Members themselves, whom Mr. BROUGHAM had called
upon to censure that expenditure. This may be a
warning to the House, bow. i.e future. they give their
confidence to Ministers, however humbly and earnestly
they beseech it upon their future responsibility. It
