more particularly attended to-
| Mr. Barring concurred fully in the plan
proposed by Mr.. Wallace. He thought that
/ free importation, with fu understand
ing thai no part OF the articles should be con-
sumed there or IN their colorits) would be
productive Of the greatest be1eht II II
was true that the proposed measures would
ruin halfa dozen counties in Ireland, no
doubt the House would regret it much. As
a British merchant, he, for one,' would say,
that he shouI reiec. ten times the advan'
tage now looked to, if purchased at The ex'
pense of the trade of ireland. But il it
| could be shown that this alteration could be
made wl,hou, any injury to Ireland, and at
the same time with great advantage to Great
Britain, as we'll as to that country, he hoped
that no clamor should b. allowed 10 impede
the measure.
Mr.. Marryat opposed the adoption of the
resolution. 1t the present system was new
one, he admitted that the proposed reguia-
ton would be good one, but il should be
recolected, that they were laboring under
severe pressure of axalIon. and that that a.
lone would prevent their shipping from
competing with those Of foreign countries.
He next pointed out the injury sustained by
that country, from the opening OF the trade
OF Buenos Ayres, and the private trade to
India, and commended that this was but trIt-
ling compared to that which the proposed
measure woulG produce. The course now
proposed to be adopted. reminded him OF
sumo lines formerly written by Professor
Person. That gentleman being one evening
shut oul from card party, the lady Of the
house proposed that be should anuse them
by writing verses while the party Played
He asked the lady TO give him subJect,-
she proposed that he should describe The
Devil, as walking abroad and taking view
of what was passing in this country. Dir.
Person then spoke as iDIiows:
ssWith wind and tide
Down the ,iyerdid glide
a pig, with vast c,erity,
The Devil did smile,
Fo; he saw all tie while
That at every strike
1t was cutting its throat,
And this, he cried
Is the boast and pride,
OF Ensland's commercial prosperity"
Sc it was in this case The Devil, who
loved mischief, would no doubt smile at the
cour-e now proposed to be adopted. The
honorable member cpncluced by saying, that
he hoped the house would not repeal laws
that had been the sleet anchor of their ma
tional prosperity.
After further Observations from Mr. Ser.
jeant Onslaw, Mr. HUE, an Mr. i. W II l.
son, the resolutions w.le put and carried.
