Ilr. HUSKISSON rose for the purpose of making

Sir J. NEWPORT rose with a view to correct an

The debate of last night, ma Lord LONDON aaaaa 'a
swims for the revival of the Agriesiturel Committee,
was productive of two or three things which are de-
serviag of notice. Mr. Ricsavo distinctly stated,
that he had never asserted that " TAXATION WAS set
the cause of distress." He added, that " although
►s had said that its effects epos some classes were
not so great as upon others, yet he had not said that
its Teets were not inferiors." We receive this decla-
ration with great pl , because Mr. Ricardo ha

the character of being ►ell versed in the science of
political economy; and the opinion, ascribed to him
in the Parliamentary Reports, has been used with
great triumph and considerable effect by the enemies
of Retrenchment. We pointed eat the error of the

plopositiou—that taxation is Do part of the cause
of the distresses of the country—and certainly, ne-
ver was a greater absurdity uttered. It would,
in fact, ha pretty sear the truth to say, that excess of
wallow is the solo Masa of those dialogist'. As to
