A MFAsii under the gallery, whose name wi coole
'tier :pawn, took occasion to ask the !tight Honorable
.oenreeman, the President of the Board of Trade, whe
thee in ceuseeinence of this measure, it was to be who
that.the proposition would not he agreed to.
artier! it Went intended by an. Honorable . Member t'
hyjieg toward for, the appointment of a Committee to
hviaire info the general distreeeed state of agriculture
st•
•:te the country..
sr. RQBINSON replied, that he could not foresee
• irhat'mieht be the derision of the House upon the pro-
Ylneition to which the Honourable Member had al-
• tided, but he thought it quite clear that the measure
•
he had in view, and which related merely to
It•thermake of tikieg averages upon corn, could not in-
as; teifete ireasy degree-with the large and much more
P.4••iurportant question of an inquiry with respect to the
Cate of agriculture in the country.
'the Huse having resolved into the Committee,
r. ROBINSON rose and said, that he thought he
should beet diecharge his duty, and satisfy the judg-
ment of the House, by confining himself on this occa-
sion to the immediate point to which the resolution
e): with which he proposed to conclude would refer, with-
=,eitt entering at all into the more important ques-
;; ;• thetas to our agricultural distress. With respect to
'4', the averages, as taken heretofore, it was known that a
.r :tru...“ deal of intricacy and confusion prevailed upon
ra• ..the subject of the laWs relating to those averages.
"'I 11SC laws alluded to were the Acts of the 31st, 33d,
..'4llth, and 45th of his late Majesty. As to the latter,
they bad for some time been repealed in practical opera.
• Then with regard to the Acts of .1791 and
1)1;3, it was rather difficult, upon reference to the Act
1•:-• 411791, to ascertain what the state of the law really
4: • etas. If the Committee should agree to the Resolu-
tion which he bad to submit,• it was his intention to
propose a Bill for embodying all the useful prodvisditions
ions
••••*e of the existing law upon this subject, with a
fouuded upon the recommendution of the Committee
',fleet Session, before which evidence had appeared
to ,hew the evils belonging to the present system. By
that system the average was taken in each of the 12
maritime districts, and from these, collectively, the
cetera' average was fixed. But, to form the average
• of each c./.striet, the average was previously taken in
e.r.b town of that district—that is, the total of the
cdru sold in each town, as well as the total of the
• p.-ice paid for such corn, and the one divided by the
ether, eonetituted the average, awl the same division
fisdu the corn and the price in the aggregate of those
) .
towns, eoestituted the average of the district. Such
esa was the system by which, in dividing the total of
t!'.e coru•by 11;e total of the prices in the 12 districts,
feat the average of the kingdom was fixed. Thus
the general average depended upon the average of each
of the towns comprehended in each district, and
ticularhence
it elia.clear that. the price of corn, in a par
town of any district, might have a very undue in-
flecnce,npon the general average. He proposed, there •
f.e.e., to abolish the plan of taking the averages from
t!te 12 maritime districts, and to substitute that of
tal,ing them front nor We counties and towns tufts the
!!roost average from the aggregate of the corn sold In
•
IN: whole, divided by the total of the price paid for it.
•••:••• • Theobject of this arrangement was to defeat such sire-
calations as had been entered into within the last year,
• , the for inirpose of unduly influencingdie settlement of
,
t
tte. Average. Another alteration which he meant to pro-
.: •
et and v. Lich erottld form au addition to the exist-
. • isr ~Aesgh it, would produce no influence upon
s the •AY %lige'', was to ideloele the counties of Kent, Ea-
• auti Fmssere among those from which the averages
e .!re to be taken. The next addition which he bad to
, iropose refeered to the power vested in the King
hi andh
(;suuCil for the appointment of those towns fr

' the Ii rag in Council was empowered to transfer the

. it teeing of averages from one town to the other upon

• ' k -
mat representation of the tlagistrates at Quarter-se

s.atis. But he rather thought thatthepower of the King
ist Council should be enlarged, and that his Majesty

ing another, as well as to insert any town

'be meant to hare thstislarld-ln
in those average-. It ass ab
Bill to correct an error whirl, existell et present 1,
respect to what was called British corn---for, in conse
quence of this denomination in the eilatinglaw. Irish
corn was excluded from the 'overages, although the
Irish corn imported into England was..actnallys
thelsest
the conntry produced, aorl, from the law ash Inn
since enacted relative to the import of Irish corn, it
mustbe ohvi..us that nu su.:li distinction, could bojust.
But the error to which he alluded wss the result of a
mere technical Custont-house ioterpretation, which
inferred that British corn alone watt meant. The
Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving a Re-
solution, " That it was expedient to repeal the seve-
ral acts alluded to, with respect to the 'tenement of
the average price of corn, and in order to propose
another law in lieu thereof.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that tlie erste'', of averages
was understood to have been settled upon before the
last Corn Bill was passed.—Front tHs and other con-
siderations, he should feel it his ditty t•ensetch such a
measure as that proposed by the• Right llon.Gentleman
with peculiar jealousy, although he would not object
to the Resolution which he hid aubruitted tv die Cam-
.
tnittee.
Mr. BARING coull not help espret.sing Isis regret
that any roe.isure of such a nature slrould have bees
brought forward at this particular period; for this
measure was, in his apprehension, caloulated to create
considerable uueasitw..s among the penple—he meant
among the coils 1111 l ets of corn, while it might hold not
erroneous prospects to ti. growers of that article.
The Right Hon. Gentleman had said; that his Bill
would produce any material influence upon the aver-
ages; but it might have the elfert of screwing %p Dore
to the import price. Policy as well as justice aboeld
have prevented the agitation of this subject a •fur he
maintained that the system of taking averages was
understood to havebeen settled. upon the discussion of
the last Corn Bill. lie remembered, indeed, that in
consequence of this undcrstauding, many Gentlemen
argued, that although the import price was nominally
fixed by that Bill at tills. the real prier., in oonsequence
of the mode of taking the averages, would not exceed
765. Nay, some Gentlemen set the real price down so
low as 735. or 745. Yet the Right Iluu, Gentleman
now proposed to alter the arrangement, the reasoning
upon which probably reconciled many persons to the
enactment of the late Corn Law, notwithstanding its
general unpopularity. He was the more surprised at the
Right lion. Gentleman's proposition, as it was now an
opinion pretty generally settled, that the import of
Foreign Corn had nothing whatever to do with the
distress of the country or that of its agriculture. Upon
these grounds, lie disapproved of the Right lion.
Gentleman's proposed Bill, because he thought it cal
culated not only to create unesainess amoug the con-
sumers, but to kspire the growers with false hopes.
Mr. IRVING expressed his opinion, that the
public, if they looked for any relief from the measure
under the consideration of the House. would certainly
be disappointed.
Mr. H. SUSI NER said, that the measures before thd
e
House would, In his opinion, fulfil the -object it
new
ba
in view ; it would protect those d 0
subjesubjected
cted to fraud. It would be but can
mended todid on tgo
he
part of Ministers to say, whether they i
farther. If nothing more was intende4, it was nut right
that the country should he deluded by an expectation
that more would he done.
Mr. F.. LEWIS said, that when the average of
erfectl 80s.
per quarter was Muted by Parliament, it was py
understood that the real average would not be inure
than 765. Ile disapproved of joining the average
amount of Irish corn to that of this country, because
the Irish coin was of an inferior quality to the Eng-

dish corn.
Mr. CURWEN said, that the House wai not aware
of the injury which the country suffered by the frauds
which had been practised in the mode of taking aver-
ages. He was sure that, within a very limited pe-
riod, the country bad lost at least one million by
the frauds which had been committed. lie begged
to call the attention of the Coustuitte to one fact, which
he conceived worthy their attention. Large quanti-
ties of corn were imported from Denmark into the Isle
of Man, and front thence shippel off to England: fro nt
that canse the northern counties suffered most materially.
An Hon. Member (Mr. Daring) professed himself a
friend to the agricultural interests. The Hon. Member
appeared to him to be a very singular friend
the
indentthat
interest. The lion. Gentleman stated, that
duction of foreign grail) was of no injury to the
tati Enon g-
lish agriculturist —Now he (Mr. C.) had uo hesi
iA saying, that the greatest injury resulted to the Eng-
lish farmer from the introduction of Foreign Wain.
If the ports of this country were not opened for five
ears, one bait season in five was the common calcula-
tion, the accurnitlatism of Foreign Cora daring the
year in which the ports would be open, viould be an
great as to clog the maritet, and leave so ear% behind
after the consumption of the season, as Materially to
inlinenee the state ti the Edgl market fur the three
or four subsequent years. That he thought was a
great evil, which called fur immediat;corrhectioo. The
Honourable Member (Mr. Baring) said, tat the i
portation of Foreikn ebr u in WIS. had no effect upon
'the market, he (.11r. Curwen) differed entirely with'
him on'that point-11f could state it as a fart, that
there were fifty thousand quarters of thii Grain is-
pcirted in the year Itsiti, at present in the Port of Lon-
don ready to he brought down whenever there should
appear to be &DT' 3111111141 Ce in the prices. Another great
injury to the agricnivaral interests resulted from tho'
fact he had just stated. The siseculator, who formerly
brought his capital into the market and piirthased up
the surplus corn, and waited for an advance of prices,
an longer appeared--there war no persoo noWdoiling
between the consumer and the farmer. lie hoped that
• sonte really efficient measure would be adopted—bat
at least some candid declaration would be aide by Mi-
piston as to-the talent to which they kneaded tor to
save the agficulterist from atter ruin.

had spoltehof the injury which
Foreign Corn occasioned in t's.
That tnigittise so ; but the only marl!
4 saw for this evil was, for this country to lower the
prices of Corn swirly to the standard of the prices of the
Continent.—(Heir, tad a langli.)—The only way
Cora` hn
could be &Mork he snpposetl, to keep out Foreig
was by putting high duties upon the importation-ofB:
that was the meal's Iry which the British grower was to
have a monopoly of British aserket. Now, suppose that
a year of scarcity bad arrived, and that a high duty had
been placed on the imporation of Foreign C3rn, would
any Minister in Englatnl, at such a time of distress, et-
tempt to enforce that duty—would any English Minister
attempt to shut out relief from a starving people ? I
possible: and; therefore, the Otis would he left open
sod free, and the immemie importation which the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Citrwen) looked upon as so great a mis-
fortune, would take place. Much had beets said as to a
remedy for the distfess of the agrirrilturist ; he (Alr.
Ricardo) was of opinion that the only remedy for that
distress was the total repeal of the Corn Laws.—(llear.)
The Corn Lases ought to he taken off altogether, and he
was sure that woes or later a measure of that sort
would be adopted.
Mr. LOCKHART complained of the great and
progressive distress of the Agriculturists. He could
not roe that any alteration in the mode of taking the
averages would at all relieve that distress. The high
state of the taxation, at a time when the value of tke
land was so depreciated, appeared to him the great
clime of the evil. That evil was, no doubt, greatly
increased by the measure which a Right Honourable
Meenher. (Mr. Peel) had introduced into that House.
He (Mr. Lockhart) was convinced, that if the system
whir* that measnre sought to establish was. not very
soon departed from, the matter would cod in absolute
convulsion and ruin. The House was not to suppose
that banks only stopped payment ; agriculture might stop
payment, agriculture might be brought to that
state, to which it was fast approaching, when the
land would render no return to the landlord.
The measure before the House might, perhaps, answer
the petty end for Which it was proposed but very dif-
ferent measures indeed should be adopted to render any
thing like relief to the English farmers.
Mr. RICARDO explained.
After a few words frcen Mr. Bennet and Mr. Curwen,
the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be
brought up to-morrow,
tiCOTCH BURGHS.
Lord A. HAMILTON moved for a return of
number of the Royal Burghs which bad lost the power
of electing to the Council since the year 1685, the
particular time whets each Burgh lost that power,
when restored, and nnder what conditious.--Ordered.
ARMY ESTIMATES.
Mr. HUME said, that the Army Estimates stood
for Friday next, a time entirely too short fur a due ex-
amination of the different items committed in those
altimeter. Ile therefore suggested to the Right lion.
Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), that
the disseesion en the Army Estimates'should betes
post-
poned to Monday fortnight, and the Navy Betiosa
to Monday nest.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that inconvenience would be occasioned by postponing
the principal part of the Army !Latinate' beyoud Fri-
day next. The consideration of the remainder of t
he
he
Army Estimates and the Navy Estimates might
postponed to Wednesday and Friday fortnight.
Mr. BENNET urged the absolute necessity of grant-
ing time to consider these Estimates. If that de
lay
was refused, the Minority possessed resources whi
they would undoubtedly put in force. It was impels
Bible to say how many debates %nay take place sin these
Estimates. He knew there were many Honourable
Members who coincided with him in the determination
to resist the amount of force called fur by these Esti-
mates to the last extremity. Our establishovnt must
be cut down to the national income. We could not
afford such establishments, and therefore lie would
not vote them.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed
to postpone the consideratiou of the Army Estimates
to the time proposed. The Navy Estimates he would
fix fur Friday rie.,t, and the Ordnance for the Monday
following.
Mr. RICARDO nislied to know whether the paper,
laid on the 'f able relative to the transactions between
the Government and the Bank, contained every thing
that had taken place from February I ts3o, to February
1841 ? Aud also, whether it included a return ofl
the Exchequer Bills pnrchased by the Bank in the'
market during the same period ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
it included every transaction that took place between'
the Government and the Bank, and that if there were
astrporchalers of Excirequee Bills they also were in-
cluded.

MR. 1100 K.
Mr. BENNET put a qnestion to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer respecting Mr. Hook, formetly a Treasurer
at the Isle of France. He wished to know whether the
money of which he was a defaulter had been paid ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated,
that Mr. Hook's conduct had been inquired into, and he
was found to be an honourable officer. lie coatd not an-
' ewer whether the money had been repaid or not.
Mr. COURTEXAY moved thesecond.reaeing of the
,Offeettiers' Transporiation Bill.
Mr. BENNET (lid not rise to oppose the motion, but
to express a hope that Parliament would take the subject
into its consideration. The present exercise of tran-
sportation operated as a bounty to the encouragement
of crime, Every year a stock of corruptlon was• sent
