PARLIAMENTARY . HOUSE OF COMMONS * Feb . 24 , 1826 . Mr . Canning ' s Eulogium upon Mr , Huskisson . [ In the debates on the commercial p 6 licy of . the country , the speakers have ranged themselves into two divisions , viz . the philosophers and the practical men . In the former class are the
Ministers and most of the leading men in the Opposition , with their respective followers j in the latter , a small minority , are certain bankers , merchants and manufacturers , and persons connected with them—some of these , JMr . Baring , for
Instance , acting in opposition to former opinions . On the 23 raof Febniary ^ Mr . KtxicE , the Member for Coventry , obeyhig the instructions of his constituents , moved for a Committee on the Silk
Trade ; the motiou was seconded by Mr . J . Williams , the barrister , and Member for Lincoln , who distinguished himself as one of the late Queen ' s Counsel : this gentleman made a vehement attack Upon Mr . Huskisson and the political inetapnysicians . In reply , Mr . Huskisson made a most able and satisfactory speech in defence of himself and his measures :
he Exposed the inconsistency of Mr . BAitfcNG , by reading and commenting on tlteP ^ tition ' which this gentleman presented from tlie London merchants , in m 20 > \ it behalf of Free Trade ; and he retbrtexlwiUi great severity on Mr . Wjl-UAMS , whose taking . up a question so
naach out of the line of his profession , h £ attributed to his recently-formed connexion ; " not a" political one ( alluding , we suppose , to Mr . W . havrhg married the daughter of Mr . Davenport , Member foi * Cheshire , and de ^ fHy interested in th& ^ Hlt ' maut * fa << fori-eh ' ' The debate was

met , for himself and colleagues , the charge of having deserted the principles of Mr . Pitt , and though we are far from joining in the worship here professed towards that great man , ( for great in many respects he undoubtedly was , ) we are tempted to leugthen our extract by a pas - sage on the principles and errors of Mr . Pitt . ]
" But , Sir , this is not the point upon which I felt myself most immediately called upon to answer the appeal of Honourable Members—this i 6 not the point upon which I feel called upon by my public duty to express my sentiments . It cannot lxe denied , Sir . that , under
saver of the measure which the Honourable Gentleman opposite ( Mr . Eilice ) has thought proper to bring forward ; and that he ha » brought it forward in the sincerity of his heart , and with the view solely to the relief of the sufferers whose cause he advocated , the House must feel
convinced ( hear , hear ) ; but it cannot be denied , that , under cover of that motiou , an opportunity has been taken , not by the Honourable Member , but by others , to attack the commercial regulations now in progress ; measures more seriously deliberated upon , and introduced with the more universal consent of all th € ) se
whose judgments were likely to be best enlightened on such matters , than any other acts of our public policy within my recollection . ( Cheers . ) The Honourable Gentleman whn introduced the motion was of opinion , that it was advisable to adopt a sound and settled system of
commercial policy . But the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who secouded thq motion , ( Mr . J , Williams . ) addressed you with a very different feelitig , and in a very different spirit . That Honourable and Learned Member , departing from those professioual topics , in descanting
upon which he had so often arrested the attentiou of the House , disported himself upon this , to him novel subject , certainly with all the confidence of a novice , Imt at the same time in a manner which , evinced a total incapability strf using * lute weapons , q $ hQ was wonk . fo < ta >> t n W »
