' Hany , whose conduct was again severely commented on bj Lord Broug ham . COMPEHSATIOS TO TEHWTS ( nHXAHD ) BILL .
Lord STisitT rose to moTe the first reading of the hill fpr Compensation to Tenants in Ireland . He believed that there was uo one who would not concur in the opinion that the grand remedy for some of the most prominent erils under which Ireland laboured was to provide remunerative labour for her surplus population . There were only two modes by which this could be effected —either by emigration , which would reduce the arnousi of population within the limits of employ ment , or ~ bs increasing the means ef employment so as to mate it commensurate with the amount of the population . Fjr liis oirapartlie didnot think tliat emigration , ivhicl : lc itself was for many reasons objectionable , would l » c a « v r . iSi-ientremedyfor the evil , especially as Ireland h ; t , ' . - .. , enough and to spare for her population ; but
vfiur . i ' .. i- uid want was capital for employment , which coul < i - . sj he got either from the Crown , orfromthelandlord , t-r from the tenant The third source , however absurd it might seem to some to talk on Irish tenants ' capital , was The most important of all , and to it the Government now proposed to turn their attention . That class of persons in Ireland were often possessed of more money than they were inclined to admit , and besides of another capital—their labour and industry . He compared the average size of farms in England and Ireland , and after mentioning sonic of the more prominent evils of the Irish system , explained that the Government proposed by this bill to secure compensation for three principal kinds of improrasents effected by the tenant—buHduig , draining ,
and lenehsg . The noble lord then entered into a minute det ; u ! respecting these improvements , and the amount of compensation to be allowed for them , and proceeded to state that such compensation would only be secured to the Tenant who was ejected by his landlord . It would also be necessary to provide inexpensive means of settling these claims between landlord and tenant ; and for this purpose it was proposed to establish an officer in Dublin , with the title of Commissioner of Improvements , to whom all claims of compensation should be addressed in writing This officer should then have the power of appointing Assistant Commissioners , who would be sent down to examine into cases , and make awards , by which means tenant ? -r , onld not be put to the expense of a journey to Dnblin .
The Marquis of ClakeicaBde said no one could bu expected to pass an unhesitating opinion on a measure which treated the subject in such detail , but rejoiced at the bill , as a means of relieving the Irish landlords from much cf the obloquy that now attached to them , and saving them the trouble of finding agents for their estates , whose v-ace would be supplied by the Commissioners . In his opinion , the hill would do very little towards remedying the evils complained of . The Sari of Wjcklow expressed his conviction that the ball was founded on justice , equity , and good faith . Lord Bosse thought the principle of the measure very objectionable .
The Sari of Devon said , it was a great mistake to suppose tkaiiliis measure was meant as a panacea for all the ills of Ireland . It was intended to meet a particular class of distress , and he besought the house to consider it simply as applying an effectual remedy to a great practicalcvfl . He rejoiced in the bill , as one easy of applicat ion , and idir towards both Landlord and tenant Lori ! PivsTMiN expressed his sincere disappointment at the measure , as containing some most objectionable provisions , which would also be found most difficult of execution . The K 21 was then read a first time . Lord Rabsoe moved the second reading of the Bastard Children Bill , and briefly stated , that the principle of the existing law was bad , as giving to designing womeu the power of gnsnarjng the unsuspecting , for which reason lie hoped the house would consent to some alteration .
Lords ¦ ffHAKKCLtFre and Cabsabvos both opposed the bill , on the ground that so short a time had elapsed sinee the amendment of the law , that it was quite impossible to pronounce how it would work . - On the question being put by the Chancellor , that tie bill he read a second time , Lord "iVuABSCLiFFE moved that it should be read that day sis -months , which was carried . Their Lordships then adjourned . TOESDAT , JdSE 10 . After the presentation of an immense number of petitions against the measure , The Duke of Wellisgton moved that their Lordships should resolve themselves into committee upon the Maynooth Bill .
The Duke of Leinsxeb , as a near neighbour of the college , said a few words in-vindication of the discipline and of the system of instruction pursued there ; and Lord Clanci-ny then moved that the bill should be committed
thattia- ; that t ^ v
as months , resting his opposition principally on the atstuse of proof that there was a want of funds at Maynoodj , and npsn theinappropriateness of the time at which the measure had been introduced . Lord " i 7 icei . ow expressed his obligation to the Government for the wisdom anil courage they had displayed in divisiEg and proposing this measure , but trusted that he might regard it as an index of an intention to connect the Roman Catholic Church with the State by means of an endowment This was now only a question of time and mods ; ? he former was as propitious now as it ever would
be , brc the hitter was still one of difficulty . lie objected either 10 charge the endowment- upon the Consolidated fund or to take it from the property of the Irish Church , but thought that if it were placed as a rent-charge upon the last ? , neither Parliament nor the landlords would have a l-Jj&t to eoaiplain . lie showed that the plunder of the Irish Protestant Church within the last ten years woulf : hare r . inply sufficed for this endowment , and concluiUaBv urging the Government , if they meant to pre-SCne tranquillity , to pursue thd * present nieasure , au < l heprojiareduext session with one for the endowment of the llnviisi : Church .
Lord TjTZWiLLLUC concurred in the opinion that , after endowing Maynootb , an endomneut of the BoinMi clergy would be absolutely indispensable . He agreed also general "; j in the -views of Lord"Wicklow as to the source from -which the necessary funds should be provided , but thought that to avoid the appearance of degradation , the uumsiurs of both religions should he placed upon exactly the same footing . Loru Cukcabiy having withdrawn his amendment , J . oni vfharncliffe denied that the present hill was any earnest of the fnture intentions of Government . He had himself formerly expressed opinions in favour of an endowment of the . Roniish clergy , but it would not be prudent to propose such a measure unless it were in conformity with the opinions of the English people . In the mean time , it would be the business of Ministers to watch that feeling .
The Marquis of Beeadalbake trusted that the people of England would take warning by this declaration ; and the bill having then rapidly gone through committee , their lordsUps adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Feibay , Jcse * . Lord Ashley moved for leave to bring in two bills for the regulation of the cure and treatment of insane persons ia England and Wales . The noble lord , iu an able speech , enforced the necessity for affording greater protection than now existed to the lunatics in all parts of the country , those residing out of as well as in lunatic asylums , and hoped that his bilk would meet with no opposition in their progress through Parliament Sir 3 . Gkabax , with great satisfaction , seconded the motion . The speech of the noble lord J : ist session would not readily be forgotten by those who had heard it , and had convinced the Government that it was a subject their attention to which should be no longer deferred ; and , accordingly , during the recess he had , iu conjunction with the noble lord , considered the subject , and the result of their labours was then before the house . The bills of the noble lord were not exactly Government hills , but they were brought in with the sauction of the Government , which had resolved to support them .
Lord Clements said that the bill showed how differ , entiy they were disposed to legislate for England and for Ireland . Sir 3 . Gsjuuu said that a similar measure was prepared for Ireland . Mr . Fox Macle highly eulogised ti : e philanthropy of the noble lord , and suggested that a commission should be appointed to rcjiort on the state of lunatics in Scotland , all of the asylums in that country being supported by voluntary contribution . He thought , as to legislation , the extension of the present measure to Scotland would do all that was requisite . The Lord Advocate said the subject lia . l attracted considerable attention in Scotland , but he wished to see the progress of the present bills before framing cue for Scotland . After afewobservations from Mr . G . Strickland , Jfr . Henley , and Mr . Brotherton , leave was given to bring in the mils .
The house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mosday , Jcxe 9 . The hens ; met at four o'clock , when Lord £ .

fractional notes for such sums as 25 s . or 30 s ., which were found extremely convenient at small markets in Ireland , and thus compelled the Irish baukers to keep a larger quantity of silver in then : coffers than hitherto . He objected also that it did not make the notes of the Bank of Ireland a legal tender . Colonel Coxoelt thanked Ministers for this bill , but hoped that they would insert in it some provision for the probable increase of circulation , which would be shortly demanded by the expanding energies and increasing prosperity ' of Ireland . Even in the last year the circulation had increased one minion . He gave a most gratifying account of the increased exports and imports which had taken place within that period in every port in that country , but more particularly in the northern ports of Derry and Belfast , and expressed a hope that nothing would be done , either in direct or indirect legislation , by Govern , ment to impede this incipient prosperity .
Sir E . Peel wished that he could impress on the minds of Irish members , who seemed to believe that capital consisted in an excessive issue of paper , the conviction that no country in the world would derive greater benefit than Ireland from an improved system of bankiug . No country had suffered so much from a bad system as Ireland had . nc knew from his own experience that the most heartrending and wide-spreading distress had arisen in the west and south of Ireland from the simultaneous breaking of the banks in those districts some twenty or thirty years ago . It was , therefore , necessary to found the currency en the certain and immediate convertibility of its paper into gold . Even its joint-stock banks—which were moic recent institutions—had not been well conducted . For
instance , the Agricultural Bank , by the innumerable branches which it bad established , and by the excessive issue of its paper , had affected every local bank in that country . There was one joint-stock bank in Ireland , which had been mest admirably conducted . That was the Provincial Bank ; and yet that hank had been most injuriously affected by the Agricultural Bank—for it had been obliged to be always ready with a considerable quantity of goldfor a run . In 1837 the Provincial Bank hadin its coffers a quantity of gold greater than its issues . AU that gold came from the Bank of England , audwas principally supplied from London and the branches of Liverpool and Bristol . He showed that at that time the banks of Ireland were compelled ¥ y the conduct of the Agricultural Bank to provide themselves with two millions of gold , merely
for the sake of protecting tbeir own credit . He was going to relieve by this bill those banks from the constant necessity of being provided with that immense ameunt , not to gnard agaiiut their own iucaution , but against the incaution of others , and from the dreadful suspense and anxiety in which all banking concerns in Ireland had hitherto been involved . He then proceeded to defend the details of the bill , and to point out the advantages which it would confer upon Ireland by abolishing the exclusive privileges of the Bank of Ireland , and by opening to all the other banks the power of competing within the hitherto restricted limits . AUthathe askedwas , thatif there was in Ireland that increasing prosperity which required an increasing circulation , they would provide for the security of it by assigning some portion of banking assets to the provision of a certain portion of specie .
Mr . E . B . Roche observed , that , though he was not going to throw any impediment in the way of this bill going into committee , he could not refrain from stating his . opinion that there was ^ olnecessity for the interference of Government with ' this subject , and that Sir H . Peel had made out no case for it . Mr . Redisgtos complained of the manner in which this bill took the average of the circulation of Ireland , and contended that it must operate injuriously upon that country . SirE . F £ Bousos considered Ireland to be unfairly treated by the restriction which this bill imposed on the amount of its currency . LordCussEsrrs objected to a portion of the bill , because it appeared to him to steal a march on the banks of Ireland , which was injurious to then * interests .
Mr . S . Cbawfobd submitted to the revision of the house both the immediate effects and the ultimate object of this biU . Its ultimate object was to assimilate the currency of Ireland to that of England , and to abolush the banknote circulation in bothcouEtries . The restriction on a paper circulation in favour of gold was not , in bis opinion , a benefit to England , and therefore he was unwilling to asshnitate Ireland to England in that respect . Besides , the circumstances of the two countries were different . England was a rich , Ireland was a poor country ; and the immediate effects of this bill would be to check the circulation of Ireland at present , and to stop the credit which had been so judiciously afforded to industry within tiie last year by the banks of that country .
Mr . Wise maintained that there were clauses iu this bill which carried out its principle too far . In his anxiety to restrict the over-issue of paper , Sir B . Peel had not provided any means for securing that expansion of issue which must follow the development of labour and capital . He also thought that as the bill contained uo provision for the formation of new banks , it would act as a monopoly in fevour of the existing banks . The house then resolved itself into the proposed Committee . In the Committee some discussion took place on the first clause , and an amendment was moved upon it , which the Committee negatived upou a division . The other clauses of the bin were then agreed to , and the house having resumed , the report was ordered to be received ou Thursdav next
THE HOUSE AM > ITS " PRIVILEGES . " Sir TV . Gossett , the Scrjeant-at-Arms , then appeared at the bar , and acquainted the house that in the case of "Howard r . Gossett , " execution had been levied on Saturday last , the 7 th instant , for £ i 3 G 12 s ., being the amount of damages and costs in the suit . On the motion of Sir R . Peel the communication just made by the Serjeant to the house was referred to ths Select Committee on Printed Papers . The other orders of the day having been disposed of , the house adjourned . TCESDAI , Jl'SE 10 . The house met at four o'clock .
KEFomi Bin—raiixG clmjsks . Mr . T . Dcxcombe gave notice , that on Tuesday , July S , lie should move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the rating clauses in tke Reform . Bill . He tagged also to ask the rigM lion , baranot , the Home Secretary , when the report and evidence furnished by Mr . ltogers , the Government inspector , with regard to the conduct of Mr . Briseoe , a county magistrate , in imprisoning a man named Price , would be iovtUeoming , as he understood that the report had been prepared and sent in , Mr . Rogers having returned to town ten days ago . Sir J . Graham assured the lion , member he had received no report such as he had referred to , and that he was totally misinformed on the subject . Mi-. 0 . Gokb presented 115 petitions against the present Com Laws . fiir . Miles presented several petitions from Somersetshire , complaining tliat the agriculturists had not sufficient protection .
CORX LAWS . Mr . Villiebs moved for a committee of the whole house for the purpose of considering his resolutions for the abolition of all restrictions on the importation of foreign corn . After taking a review of the declarations made by Lord John Russell , Sir James Graham , Colonel Wood , and others on tliis subject during the present session , he proceeded to congratulate himself on the improvement of his position in bringing forward these resolutions at present , as compared with that which he occupied on similar occasions in former sessions . There was now a general admission on the part of those on both sides of the house that it had become the duty of some member of Parliament to test the oninions of thn
mostinfluential parties inParliamcatonthisquestion ; aud , therefore , he now came forward to contend that the Corn Laws were wholly unsuited to the present condition of the country—that they never had a laudableobjeet in view—that at times they had proved most injurious to the labouring classes—and that the sooner they were abolished the better . The object of them originally was to make laud dear ; and that object had been consistently pursued in all the legislation which had been adopted since . The farmerwho had been declared on high agricultural authority to be a man of Tery contracted views—had been de * - luded into the support of these laws by the fiction that price meant profit , lie had , therefore , given his vote in support of those centlemen who told him
that high prices meant high profits , and against those who told him that if he trusted in such a fiction he would find himself wofullv disappointed lie wished to call the attention ] of ' the former to this question—who were his friends , and who were not ? He wanted the members of the Agricultural Protection Society , and more particularly Mr . S . O'Brien , who had Us resources at his command to explain how it was that the fanner was in his present distressed condition , considering the protection which had been so long afforded him , and how it happened that the farmer differed from anv other capitalist , lie thought that Mr . O'Brien was precluded on tins occasion from saying two things at least—farst , that it was owing to the recent measures of her Majesty ' s Government that the farmer was in distress , for he had been subject to similar distress at different periods during the last thirty-five years and , secondly , that the landlord and the farmer wer e
swimming in the same boat together , for the laudlords were in general well off , and had not made any reduction in their usual luxuries and establishments A very intelligent farmer had told him that the agricultural body would be well satisfied if he could draw from any member of the Protection Society an explanation of what was the matter with the farmers , and why they were so often , indisposed . He then proceeded to ridicule the language used by speakers at agricultural meetings in different parts of the country , and to show that such meetings were now dividing themselves into two classes—oae consisting of landlords chiming from the Government farther legislative protection , and the other of farmers claiming from their landlords something very different from legislative protection . That fact had led Mr . Cobden to declare that protection was injurious to agriculture , and to move for an inquiry to test the correctness of < that declaration . That
motion was refused , ami the house was told by Mr . S . Herbert to trust to her . Majesty ' s Government , and to see what would happen . Great improvements ia our system of agriculture were said to be required , but it unfortunately happened that before they could be made , the landlords required further protection

from the Government , and the tenants further consideration from their landlords , arid neither the Government nor the landlords would grant what was required of them . Those who were anxious to provide a further supply of food for the population were told to wait , and therefore they were obliged to inquire whether the improvements for which thev were to wait had any chance of being accomplished . He entered into a long argument to show , that so long as the present system continued there was not the slightest chance of those improvements being accomplished . There was therefore no likelihood of providing from domestic sources that adequate supply of food which the population required . What , then , was the reason that precluded ua from providing
it ironi toreign sources . Those who were interested in the maintenance of the Corn Laws had been guilty of a premeditated attempt to deceive the people on tbis subject , by stating in 3 undrv publications that this foreign supply wouldmakefood cheap , and that if food were made cheap , it would reduce the wages of the people and injure them accordingly . He hoped that those who cheered that statement wouldcotne forward that evening and refute the gpech of Sir Janies Graham , who had triumphantly shown on a recent occasion that the poor were better off , and that pauperism and crime had materially diminished , owing to the recent decrease of prices . The fact was , that when you rendered the price of food high , you threw twothirds of the labouring population of Great Britain
out of employment . A scarcity was said to be a curse inflicted on a country by God ; but ought we , when we crcateia scarcity by our faulty and imperfect legislation , to attribute it to the operations of Providence , who has" filled the earth with good things V The existing Com Laws and the Canadian Corn Bill had not been passed to increase the supply of food for the people , but for special reasons , and they had nothing to do with the present agricultural distress . Sir J . Graham had told the House that there was an annual increase of 380 , 000 souls in the population of Great Britain every year , and had admitted that some relaxation must be made in the Corn Laws in proportion to the future increase of the population . Sir J . Graham now said that he did not make that
admission with that view . Be it so . Then he ( Mr . Villierd ) would say , that it was not the annual increase in ouv population , but the enormous amount of destitution and distress in the countryevinced by the fact mentioned by Sir J . Graham , that we had 1 , 500 , 000 paupers last year—which required the alteration he proposed in the Corn Laws . He showed that , if an unfavourable harvest , or a period of scarcity , should recur , there , wore circumstances which would make the pressure of them more severely felt by the country than it had ever been formerly , inasmuch as the standard of living had been much exalted both at home and abroad , and as many countries , France and Belgium , for instance , which had been exporters , were now importers of
corn . Besides , their legislation had discouraged agriculture in every country in Europe , and there was not a grain of corn grown upon the continent at present with a view to the English market . Moreover , the recent alteration in our banking system would render the revulsion more severe on the manufacturing inter est , whenever it should become necessary to export bullion ; and whenever they were first compelled to send for corn , they must send bullion , or else submit to a most ruinous fall of prices in their manufactures . He was at a loss to know what plea would be urged by the Government in replv to his
demand , on behalf of the people , for free access to means of subsistence . If the Government should either plead the pressure of local taxation , or the peculiar burdens oa land , he would reply , " Bring us in at once an account of what is paid on those scores , and we will show that it is far less than the loss which the people sustain every year owing to the restrictions on their supply of food . " He called upon the Government to indemnify the landlords in any way they pleased except that of making the food o ! the people defir . Mr . Oswald seconded the motion in a brief and forcible speech .
Air . CmusioPHBtt moved a direct negative to this motion , which he cousideredto be at ouce impolitic and uncalled for . No complaints had been made recently respecting the high price of food , and he was convinced that if the poor themselves were consulted on that point , they would declare themselves content with the present prices . The present Corn Laws had been enacted to prevent fluctuation in prices , and had been eminently successful in effecting that object , as there had been less fluctuation under them than under any former system . The repeal of those laws would not be attended with the beneficial results which Mr . Villicr a anticipated ; . for no reciprocity in foreign countries had followed any other of the relaxations which we had recently made in our
tariff . _ There was no risk of our population suffering any privation , or of our manufacturers sustaining any lossfrom the want of exchange and intercourse with foreign states owing to the operation of these laws , as an immense amount of corn had been imported into the country during the last two years , under the existing duties , and a corresponding amount of manufactures had been exported to pay for it . ;" Mr . Miichell expressed his intention of supporting the motion of Mr . Yilliers , because it condemned emphatically the sliding scale of the present law , which operated in many respects most injuriously to our foreign commerce . He showed that the Zollverein had been instituted in consequence of our Corn Laws , and thatowing to the ZoUvcreinwhich
ope-, , rated almost as a prohibition on our manufactures , we could not get corn from . Prussia unless we paid for it in . bullion . That bullion was in consequence withdrawn from our circulation ; and as soon as that was done , the Bank was compelled to put on the screw for its own protection . That depressed the price of our manufactures , and aggravated the distress which was likely to prevail from other causes during a time of scarcity . He had been told that the crop of this year had already sustained considerable injury ; but , be that as it might , it was at any rate a backward crop , and a backward crop always subjected tllC C 0 U 11 trj- to great risk . The object of those who advocated the present Corn Laws was to make the country , independent of any supply of foreign corn . But had
they considered , supposing that our crop failed in the easuing autumn , where the requisite supply was to be got ? Europe was completely drained of corn . These was no chance of obtaining it in the Mediterranean . In the northern parts of Russia a famine was prevailing at present . In Odessa perhaps you might procure a million of quarters , but no one dared to send out an order for corn either to Odessa or to our more legitimate market , the United States , at present ,, because nobody could say what the effect of the duties would be before the corn ordered from those markets arrived in the harbours of England . It was therefore possible that we micht have simli a
price of corn next autumn as we had not had for many years . Mr . Mitchell then proceeded to explain the reasons which had converted Mm from a partisan of a moderate fixed duty into an advocate of the total repeal of the Corn Laws . He recommended the house to legislate upon this subject at present , when it could legislate calmly , and not to wait for a time of destitution and distress , when it would have to yield the repeal of these laws to clamour and intimidation . Mr . Buck made a stout agricultural speech in favour of the existing Corn Laws , and deprecated the constant but ineffectual attempts of Mr . VUliers and his friends to repeal them .
Mr . Mauk Philips supported the motion , and exhorted the house to come to a spoedy solution of this question , which was at present keeping all the great interests of the country in suspense . Sir J . Graham said , that notwithstanding the sneers to which he had been exposed for the speech fce had lately made , he would again declare , that the prosperity of agriculture must depend on the prosperity of the other branches of native industry , and that this prosperity would be most effectually promoted by giving an uninterrupted course to the natural flow of native industry , lie would not deny that it was his opinion , that by a gradual and cautions policy , it M'as expedient to bring our system of Corn Laws into a nearer annroximation to those
wholesome principles which governed our legislation with respect to other industrial departments . It was , however , his conviction that suddenly and at once to throw open the trade iu corn would be inconsistent with the well-being of the community , and would give such a shock to the agricultural interest as would throw many other interests into a state of convulsion . The object of every Government , without distinction of party , fov the last twenty years , had beentosubstituteprotecting forprohibitorv i&-ffui f . ? ? ' Protecting duties where it hud them to deal with , lie a . ipovcd this as a safe principle , aud showed that it was the keyiT / Vf J ]? ? n v Sil > R- Pcel - Mr . Villiers had stated that the Corn Law of 1842 had not been
introduced with any view of diminishing the protection attached to the agricultural interest ; but he read an extract from the speech of Sir 11 1 eel m proposing it , to prove that he pronosed it explicitly as a decrease of the protection whic ' h the home-grower previously had . Mr . Villiers had talked ot the delusions practised on the farmers : but he reminded Mr . VUliers that there could be no greater delusion thw to hold out to the people that thev vould on the long run gain any considerable advantage m the price of food from the repeal of the Com luT ; H ^ owmbatedthe doctrine of Mr . Villiers , UAul P 5 J"stem of Protection no improvement 2 S 2 S 1 H ? t' mm P ° ssibl . v take P ««» . i » the agriculture of the countrv . Heslimvwl t . lfnt . ttntrl ™ . ! ion tho

ViUiers could show him thatfvee trade with open ports would produce a more abundant supply to the labourer he-would make him a convert to the doctruie of free trade m corn . He confessed that he IWjt i n A ; »» y <> f 4 * proposed by Lord John RuswU ; itwoukl be of no avail as a protection , whilst it would be liable to all the obloquy of a protecting duty ; and he -therefore agreed with Mr . Mitchell , that if we got nd of the present Cora Law , we had better assent to a total repeal . He thought that the probable quantity of corn received with open ports was greatly underrated , and argued from statistics that it would displace one-eighth of
Untitled Article
the produce of Ireland , and in England the clay land , which was most costly in cultivation . The displacement of the labour expended on that land would in itself be very disastrous ; but it was also the oldest land in cultivation ; it had been cultivated for wheat , and it was therefore liable to a very heavy annual charge for tithe . If it were converted into pasture , its value would be very inferior , and the tithe imposed upon it would be more than its rental . He proceeded to demonstrate at considerable length other
injurious consequences which would result from the sudden change pronosed by Mr . Villiers . It would produce not only great panic among the agricultural interest , but also a great diminution in the demand for agricultural labour . If 500 , 000 or 800 , 000 labourers should be thrown out of employment by it , all the machine of government would be so thrown out of order , crime and pauperism would increase to such an extent from destitution and distress , that the shock must be of a most convulsive character . He concluded by giving his decided negative to this
motion . Mr . Bright was at a loss to discover whether the speech winch Sir J . Graham had just delivered was intended to give more hope to the Opposition , or more consolation to the Ministerial , side of the house . Sir Japes had evidently been endeavouring to say one thing in one part of his speech , and to unsay it in the next . In the commencement he had been a furious free trader—in the close he had brought forward in a mass all the fallacies of the Protection Society . It was tune that this imposture should cease ; for so long as it prevailed the country would be involved in a perpetual agitation . The question of the repeal of the Corn Laws was now only one of time . He would score off every part of Sir J . Graham ' s speech after that sentence of it which contained the annunciation
that free trade was the keystone of Sir Robert Peel ' s policy . Let the county members reflect upon that , and let them remember that if Sir R . Peel gave the word for the repeal of the Corn Laws , they had no power to prevent it . He then gave a history and eulogised the proceedings of the Anti-Corn Law League , the annual contributions to which had increased from £ 5 , 000 in the year of its birth to £ 110 , 000 in the present year . He knew that when they . went to a division they would be in a minority , but minorities in that house had often become majorities ; and he did not despair of seeing that result produced again , knowing , as he did that the Corn Law created nothing , and blighted everything .
Mr . A . S . O'Brien observed , that although Mr . Villiers had challenged him to rise and defend the publications of the Protection Society , ho was too old a fish to rise at that fly . He merely rose to show that he was not unwilling to do justice to the great taste and skill displayed by the manufacturing classes in the arrangement of the bazaar recently opened in Coyent-garden . The agricultural legislation of herMajesty ' s Government was not sufficiently popular with the farmers to induce a county member to stand up in its defence The last person , however , whom the county members could blame for it was Sir li . Peel , whom they had placed and still kept in office .
Dr . BowniKG supported the motion , as did Mr . Cavendish and Lord Edhi . votox , who briefly explained the reasons which induced them to abandon their former opposition to it . Mr . Cobden said , that tho question mooted by Mr . Villiers had not been met , but had been systematically evaded during the whole of the present debate . The question was—first , had they aright to restrict the supply of food for the people ; secondly , was it true that they had a law to that effect ; and , thirdly , if their Corn Law was not to that effect , what was its purpose ? He asserted that the Corn Law did restrict the supply of the food of the people , and called upon the members for Dorsetshire and other agricultural counties to denvit if thev could . If thev
denied it , then he called upon them to explain whether the labouring classes in their respective districts were sufficiently and wholesomely fed , ami if they were not , why they were not ? He then proceeded to prove that the present system ef Corn Laws was not only injurious . to the community at large , but also to CTeyy portion of it . He denounced it as rash and perilousyinasmuch as it had left us with no . more than 200 , 000 quarters of corn in bond at a period when Europe was drained of corn , and we had the prespect of a backward , not to say a failing harvest . If those laws were repealed at once , he believed that rents and mortgages would be better paid than they were at present , and that fresh land would be taken into cultivation , instead of" old land being thrown out of it .
Mr . G . Bankes defended the existing Corn Laws , aud exposed what he called the historical errors into which Mr . Cobden and Mr . Villiers had fallen . They had declared that for the last thirty years the state of the labourers had boon growing worse and worse . To that declaration he replied , that for that period exactly protection to agriculture had been growing less and less . He also showed that the fluctuations in the price of corn in England had been still greater when the trade was free than they ever had been under a restricted system . He attributed the burdens which now pressed upon the landed interest to the expenses of the ware which William III . had carried on to increase the glory and to promote the commerce of England , and considered it very
unfair in tho manufacturers to seek to take away from the landed proprietors that protection which they had now enjoyed for many years . Lord Joux RussKLLindulgedin several pleasantries upon the speech of Mr . Bankes , but commented with severity on his admission that the condition of the labourers of Dorsetshire was still most deplorable , and deserving the commiseration of the house . He then pointed out the inconsistencies of which Sir James Graham had been guilty in his speech of that evening . Sir James had told thorn , that industry ought to have its own course—that what was true of manufacturing , was also true of agricultural industry —and that protection was injurious to the landowner . ??? . ^ < k therefore , expected that Sir James Graham .
it Uo did not go nloag with him in his proposition for a moderate fixed duty , or with Mr . Villiers for a total repeal of the Corn Laws , would at any rate propose some scheme by which the existing" protection would he diminished , and by which some advances might be made in that approach to free trade which all parties deemed so desirable . There was nothin " in Sir James Graham ' s past conduct to render such a supposition unnatural , or such an alteration of his policy impracticable . From that point , however , he suddenly started off , and used against the motion all the arguments which had ever been urged in behalf e at \ n P rotec , tioi > - With regard to the motion of Mr . Villiers , he had only to observe , that his first two resolutions were in accordance with those which he ( Lord J . RussellHiad nronnsprt « few Tmrhta a ™ .
and as lus lion , friend proposed to consider in committee his third resolution— " that it is expedient that all restrictions on com should be nowabolished , " he ( Lord J . Russell ) felt himself at liberty to go into committee with him , and to consider in what way a relaxation of the Corn Law should be made . The j ij' it ; now stood > was vicious m principle , and could not be long maintained in its present condition . He saw its fall indicated , not only by the vigour of the attacks made upon it , but also by the feebleness of the defence offered for it ; and he therefore warned the country gentlemen to pause before they allowed an impression to be made to their disadvantage in the minds of their fellow countrymen , by the constant repetition of the remark that it was only kept up to enable thorn to keep up their rents . * 1
Sir R . Peel , after some remarks upon Lord J Uussell s intended vote , proceeded to observe that experience proved that the high price of corn was not accompanied with a high rate of wages ; for the rute of wages did not vary according to the price of corn . It he could believe in the predictions of Mr . Cobden . his objections to an immediate repeal of the Corn Law would be greatly alleviated ; but he could not , and therefore he must proceed in pursuance of his own policy to reconcile the gradual approach of our logistion to sound principle on this subject with the interests winch had grown up under a different state of things . He then proceeded to defend the existhi " Com Law and tariff , and to maintain that under their operation there had been a great revival of domestic
industry and foreign commerce . He did not think that tho existing Corn Law was liable to the objections urged against it . He did not think that the predictions of its failure had been verified , and theretore he was unwilling to accept the proposition of Mr . ViWiers . Heuid not defend the Corn Law on the ground that it was a protection to any particular interest . _ He admitted that it would be impossible to maintain any law on the ground that it was intended to keen up rents ; but looking to the obligations of thelandlords he thought that any such change as that which Mr . Vilhers suggested would , if suddenly produced , tell injuriously on them , and still more injuriously on the large and numerous class of the cultivators of the soil , and others connected with them .
Lord Howick called attention to the fact that not one word had been said that evening by the Government in contradiction to the first two resolutions of Mr . \ i » im condemnatory oF the principles and policy of the present Corn Law . If the last resolution had been thus worded , "that it is expedient that all restrictions on corn should be cvaduau ' v abolished , the speech of Sir It . Peel would have been an admirable one in support of it After a brief reply from Mr . Villicrs , the house divided , when there appeared—For the motion ioo Against it "" 054 Majority against it '" * 132 The other orders of the day having been disposed of , the house adjourned . ^

David Ross an opportunity of confronting and confounding his enemies : and we trust that their oxample will be followed in every loealitv where the reputation of Mr .
