The Cemnnssioners -were the Archbishop of Canterbury , tie Lord Chancellor , Lord Wharndiffe , the Duke , of Buccleueh , aad the Earl of Shaftesbury . TbB Commissioners entered the Bouse shortly before two o ' clock , and took their seats at the foot of the throne . The Lord Cexscellob directed the . Gentleman TJBher of the Black Rod to summon the House of Commons to the bar of their Lordships' Honse . The Speakeb of the House of Commons , attended by several of the Members , shortly afterwards appeared at the bar , and
The Lohd Chasckllob having informed the members of the Honse of Commons that it was not con-Tenient for her Majesty to attend in person to open this present Parliament , stated that her Majesty had been graciously-pleased to issue her Royal Commission , authorising the Commissioners therein nuned , to do all things that might he necessary for the opening of the Parliament . His Lordship directed the Commission to be read . Toe Ckrkthen read the Commission at length , The Lobs Chascellob , in the name , and on behalf of her Majesty , read the following speech : — " 3 Jt Lcxrds akd Gektlehex , " We are commanded by her Majesty , to acquaint yon that her Majesty receives from all Princes and States assurances of a friendly disposition towards this country , and of as earnest desire to co-operate ¦ with hex Majesty in the maintenance of general
" By the treaty ^ rhieh hei Majesty has concluded -with the United States of America , and by the adjustment of these different a which from their long continuance had endangered the preservation of peace , her Majesty tracts that the amicable relations of the two countries have been confirmed . " The increased exertions -which by the liberality o ! Parliament her Majesty -was enabled * o make for the termination of the hostilities with China hare b een eminently successful . "The skill , Taloar , asd discipline of the naval and military forces employed upon this service hate been most conspicuous , and have Jed to the conclusion of peace upon the terms proposed by her Majesty . * 'JHer Mjjjesty rejoices in the prospect that by the free access -which -will "be opened to the principal marts of that populous and extensive empire , encouragement win be given to the commercial enterprise of her people .
** As soon as the ratifications of the treaty shall have been exchanged , it -will be laid before yon . ' Iu concert -with her allies , her Majesty has succeeded in obtaining for the Christian population of Syria an et-xabli&hment of a system of administration -which they were entitled to expect from the engagements of the Sultan , and from the good faith of this country . •' The aiSerence for some time existing between the Turkish and Persian Governments had recently led to -acts of hostility ; but as each of these states has accepted the joint mediation of Great Britain and . Russia , Her Majesty entertains a confident hope that fchtir mutual relations -will be speedily and amicably adjusted .
" Her Majesty has eoneladed -with the Emperor of Russia a treaty of commerce aod navigation , -which will "be laid before you . Her Msjesiy ieguds this treat ? ¦ with great satisfaction , as the foundation for increased Intercourse between Her Majesty's subjects and those of the Emperor . " Her Majesty is happy to inform you that complete sncetss has attended the recent military operations in Afghanistan . " Her Majesty has the greatest satisfaction in record-Ing her high sense jof the ability with which those operations have been directed , and of the constancy asd valour -which have been manifested by the European an £ . Native forces .
" The superiority of her Majesty's arms has been established fay decisive victories on the scenes cf former disasters ; and the complete liberation of her Hajssty ' s subjects who were held in captivity , -and for whom her Majesty felt the deepest interest , has been tffected "We are commanded bj her Majesty to inform yon that it has not been deemed advisable to continue the occupation by a military force of the countries to the west ward of the Indus . " { xEXTLBlLBS OF THE HOTJSE OP COKMO 5 S , " Her Majesty baa directed tfcs estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you . " Such reductions have been made in the amount of tie naval aod military force as have -heen deemed compatible , under present circumstances , -with the efficient performance of the public service threughout-the extended empire of her Majesty . ** Ml lOBDS AJTD GBSTLBMBS ,
"Her Majesty regreta the diminished receipt from some of the ordinary sourest of the revenue . *• Her Majesty iesrs 'haVitunat be in part attributed to the reduced consumption of many articlBS , caused by thai depression of the manufacturing industry of the country -which has so long prevailed , and "which her Majesty has bo deeply lamented . " In considering , however , the present state of ths revenue , Her Majesty is assured that you will bear in mind that it has been materially affected bj the extensive redncfions In the Import Duties , "which received your sanction dnriag the last Session of Parliament , and that little progress has been hitherto made in the collection of those taxes which were imposed for the purpose of the supplying the deficiency from that and oiher causes . " Her Majesty feels confident that the future produce of tb * revenue win he sufficient to meet every exigency cf the public service .
"Her Majesty commands ua to acquaint yon that Her M 3 jesty derived the utmost gratification from the loyalty and affectionate attachment to Her M » jesiy which were manifested on the occasion of Her Majesty ^ -visit to Scotland . " Her Majesty regrets that in the course of last year the public peace In some of the manufacturing districts was seriously disturbed , and the lives and property of her Majesty ' s sulgecta were endangered by tumultuous assemblages and acts of open -violence . The ordinary law , promptly enforced , was sufficient lor the effectual repression of these disorders . Her Majesty confidently relies upon its efficacy , and upon the zealous support of her loyal and peaceable subjects for the maintenance of tranquillity . "We are commanded by her Majesty to acquaint yen that measures connected with the improvement' the tew , and with various questions of domestic policy , will be submitted tor your consideration .
"Her Majesty confidently relies on yonr seslons endeavour te promote the public welfare , and fervently prays that the favour of Divine Providence may direct and prosper your counsels , and make -them conducive to the happiness and contentment of her people .

O'Bbikh gate xntice that he would , on Thursday , the 16 th of February , move for a Select Committee to inqnire into the mode in which the Poor Laws had been carried into operation in Ireland . Lord Ash let gave notice that he would , on the 16 th of Febrnary , move that an address be presented to her Majesty , praying teat she would be graciously pleased to take into her serious consideration the best means of diffusing a moral and religious education amongst the working classes . Mr . T . S . Dckcoubb gave nctire that he would , on Thursday , move for a Select Committee to inquire into the administration of justice by magistrates during the late disturbanoeB in the manufacturing districts .
The Hon . Mehbeb also gave notice that he would , on the same day , move for an inquiry into the mode in which Lord Abinger discharged his duties as a Judge during the Special Commission . The mover and seconder of the Address having entered the House and takes their seats , The Speakkb proceeded to read the Speech delivered by the Lords Commissioners to-day , at the conclusion of which , Lord Coubtksat then rose , and said—Mr . Speaker , in rising to propose to this House the adoption of an humble address in answer to the most gracious speech of her Majesty just read , I feel that I am not preferring any unreasonable reqnest when I entreat for myself that kind and indulgent hearing which ,
ander similar circumstances , this House has been accnBtomed xo bestow- ^ lbear > "Whilst the magnitude and variety of the topics adver ed to in her Majesty ' s speech are snch as to place under no ordinary difficulties the mover of the address—( hear , hear)—I yet feel , Sir , with unqualified confidence that these are topics npon which there can be but a unanimous concurrence—( hear ) . I feel , Sir , that in the announcements which her Majesty ' s speech makes there are many to -which -we all will be prompt and anxiouB to manifest our concurrence— ( hear , hear ) . I feel that we all hear with equal satisfaction that announcement with which for many years past the speeches from the throne to Parliament have commenced . I mean , Sir , the gratifying
announcement that the Sovereign of this country continues to Teoeive firm assurances of friendly regard from all foreign powers—( hear , hear , hear ) . These , Sir , are assurances from which I trust we may augur a long continuance of that peace with which it has pleased Providence so long to bless the nations of Europe . Snt there is one announcement to which I feel particular pleasure in calling upon this House to respond ; I mean that part of the speech in which her Majesty informs us that a treaty has been concluded upon a satisfactory basis with the United States of America . ( Hear , hear . ) I am sure , Sir , that however great are the evils of war , « very one in this House wiU agree with me that they arc not merely to be measured by the loss
of blood and the waste of treasure , but that there is a still greater evil in the disruption of those ties which onght te bind- the families of mankind together . ( Hear . ) Those evils wonld be tenfold , if such should happen between us and that kindred community which has sprung up under our auspices . ( Hear . ) We are bound to that community by the kindred of blood , by the similarity of laws , and the identity of our language , and onr religion . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) I am sure , Sir , that no man who hears me can look without interest upon the progress of that community from its infanoy to it 3 present and enduring maturity . ( Hear , hear . ) I am sure that every man must feel with me , that the evil of any interruptions of our friendly relations
with the people of America , would be an injury not only to ourselves but to the rest of humanity—( cheers ) . It is , therefore , sir , with unhesitating confidence I call upon the House to express its satisfaction upon the adjustment of those differences whieh had for some time existed —( bear , hear ) . I am sure the House will not hesitate to express its satisfaction with the wisdom and conciliatory feeling on both sides , by which this adjustment has been happily effected , with a just- regard to the national honour of two great countries—( hear , hear ) . Let me turn now , sir , to another announcement which her Majesty has graciously made respecting the triumphant close of tie war in Afghanistana war which was carried on under circumstances of
no ordinary difficulty—in a country of a peculiar character , and amidst foes of unknown numbers , ef untried courage , ef strange discipline , and unparalleled ferocity . That extraordinary war has now been brought to a triumphant closn by the constancy and valour of our troots , to which , 1 trust , we shall be the first so offer toe just meed ot applause . It were idle—it were unnecessary—now to dwell npon the reverses of a foreign campaign . Bat , Sir , 1 cannot speak upon this subject without inviting the House to call to recollection the many instances of individual valour and power of endurance which were manifested by our troops , both European and native —instances which make ub feel the greater satisfaction that that courage was not exhibited in vain , And that that suffering was not unattended with goad results ; for it leads us to rtflect with increased satisfaction that British honour has been vindicated , and that the superiority -of British arms V >» b been established on the scenes of former reverses .
Sympathising deeply , therefore , with -what out troops hate experienced , and still more in accordance with the expression of interest of her Majesty npon this topic ; moreover entertaining warm feelings of admiration and respect for those heroic captives , who in the hour of danger and suffering exhibited a manly spirit of daring , united with and elevated by a power of endurance , howev- r great , which peculiarly belongs to the female character—( cheers)—taking , a warm interest in ( he fortunes of those captives , we shall no longer delay to concur cordially in the expression of the address , which I will venture to submit to your notice , in acknowledgment of the valour and constancy of her Majesty ' s troops , and of a deep conviction that in withdrawing
beyond the Indus , we leave behind us an indelible memorial of British courage and British valour We may turn with feelings of perhaps a less mixed character to another topic suggested by her Majesty's speech , 1 mean our relations with China , and I am sure that , with equal satisfaction , we shall learn that a treaty has been concluded with Chiaa , result ing from the superiority of our naval and military forces , and founded upon terms which her Majesty has proposed . We may , I trust , look forward to this as the commencement of a permanent and salu tary intercourse between this country and that mighty and extensive land . We may , I trust , look somewhat even beyond that—we may , 1 trust , look
to those more enduring results , and those noble triumphs , which shall emanate from that intercourse , I mean the triumph of knowledge over ignorance —of civilization over barbarism—of Christianity over Heathenism and Infidelity . There is one result in which I bilieve we may now rejoice , as having already taken placer—I mean the revival of commercial intercourse with that country—an intercourse which bids fair to be firm , constant , and systematic , and whi'h opens a new and untr ied market for the productions of our manufacturing industry . There is not , I am sure , a gentleman that 1 am now addressing who does not leel that if ever there was a time when the prospect of new markets for our manufactures was essential this is now that
period —( cheers from the opposition ) . Sir , we are informed by her Majesty ' s speech of a fact , alas ! of which the experience of most Hon . Gentlemen , whom I now address , has made them aware—that considerable bodies—masses of onr manufacturing population have been suffering for some time under a state of distress occasioned by the depression of the markets of some departments of our manufacturing industry . Sir , we must learn with great regret as evidence of that fact , the inability of a large portion of our manufacturing population to purchase those articles of comfort , or even of necessity , which , under more prosperous circumstances , they had been accustomed to ; but this inability is one of the causes to which we are to trace the diminution in the receipts from the ordinary sources of revenue which is announced to us in her Majesty ' s speech . That the diminution may be , and is justly attributable also to other causes—to causes which may be , and it is
hoped will be temporary in their nature , and which cannot bat have been present to the minds of those who originated and carried the great financial changes of last rear—I mean to the reduction in the duties upon imports—is no doubt a matter wbioh it is satisfactory and gratifying to believe . But , Sir , at the same time , the fact remains—a fact which is brought before us in this the very first stage of our proceeedings—that large bodies of our manufacturing population are in a state of distress and depression . Sir , it is in no language of cold and ordinary condolence and pity that I now take this opportunity of saying what has been so often said upon the subject . W e cannot but sympathise deeply with the -way in which , I will say not only the manufacturing , but the agricultural portion of this community have often oorne distress and privations , submitting to them with a fortitude and resignation deserving of a better fate . Such a circumstance renders their
distresses still more entitled to the calm consideration of an English and Christian Legislature . This state of things exists . Of the remedies for thiB state of things this is neither the fitting time , nor am I a person qualified to speak ; but , Sir , this much I may be permitted to ssy , that while I look forward with hope to the result which will follow from the continued operation of the commercial and financial changes of last year , and to the prevalence—the gradual prevalence in foreign countries of sounder principles of international policy—( hear , hear)—while l look forward to these considerations I must
be permitted also to Bay that any remedy for the national distress whieh legislation can supply is to be found , not in any crude and hasty measures , not in attempts to exalt and magnify the importance of one interest above others—( hear , hear , on the Opposition Benches , repeated by the Members on the Ministerial Bide >—it iB not to be found , I say , in endeavours to magnify any one interest above others , but in a calm and dispassionate consideration of all the interests of the community— ( cheers from both sides of the House)—while we weigh justly and duly the importance of each in the social scale of our country , attaching and assigoisg to each its

due share among the elements of our national greatness : and while we take into account all the component parts of this great community , giving a just and fair consideration to such peculiar circumstances , and to such peculiar burdens , as may result from a complicated and artificial state of sooiety . It is because I traced in the oonduot of her Majesty ' s Ministers , the operation of snob principles of legislation that , however reluotaut I was to obtrude myself upon the notice of the Hous » , I think it my duty in acceding to the proposal made to me , not to shrink from the public expression , as the representative of a large and important constituency , of the general confidence which I entertain in her Majesty ' s present advisers . —( Hear , hear . ) In the
great financial measures of last year the country recognised a great scheme , not to be judged of in its individual parts , or in its temporary operation , bub to be looked at upon the whole and in a series of years . —( Hear , hear . ) I believe that if her Ma-: jeaty's Ministers continue to act with a similar union of boldness , prudence , and caution ; if in the measures which may hereafter be propouaded an anxiety for the general welfare be exhibited in union with a due regard to the various interests of the country ; if they shew themselves ready and . anxious to maintain peace at the risk of everything but national honour ; to promote economy at the hazard of everything except the efficiency of the public service ; introduce change where change may
be improvement , but to repudiate and reject it where it is nothing but innovation , —I believe , Sir , if her Majesty's Ministers continue to act upon these principles , they will also continue to reoeive , asiin my judgment they will continue to deserve , the confidence of a large portion of the country—( cheers ) . Sir , it is with these views and these feelings that I have come forward on this occasion to propose the address in answer to her Majesty ' s gracious speech ; and I have on ? y , before I proceed to read the address which I shall submit , to express my grateful acknowledgements to the House for the kind forbearance whioh they have manifested —( cheers ) . The Noble Lord then moved the address , which was , as usual , an echo of her Majesty ' s speech .
Mr . W . P . S . Miles seconded the Address . The address was then read by the Speaker . The question having been put , Mr . C . Wood said he had no doubt that the Noble Lord in no degree miscalculated the feelings of that House when he gave expression to the satisfaction which every one mun feel at the announcement contained in her Majesty ' s 6 peech of the termination of those hostilities iu which this country had been engaged in two quarter ? , and of the improved prospect of peace , arising from the termination of differences with the United States . With respect to the termination of hostilities with China , he apprehended that no feeling but one of satisfaction could
prevail . However confidently we might rely upon the skill a * d valour of our troops , no one could contemplate without anxiety the continuance of hostilities at such a distance from this country , with a population so large , in a country of which we knew so little ; still lesB could any one contemplate without feelings of the greatest regret , the indiscriminate slaughter of a brave , though barbarous people . It had been the result of that war—a result which seldom attended such operations—that every object for which it was undertaken had been effected . Reparation had been made for the cruel and insulting hardships heaped upon British residents ; compensation had been made to our merchants lor the losses
which they had sustained ; indemnity had been obtained for the expenses of the war ; and he thought the Noble Lord was justified in anticipating that an opening had been made for our commerce which would be beneficial not only to this country but to China itself , to whose inhabitants it would secure the benefits of humanity , of civilization , and of religion . —( Loud cheers . ) With respect to the satisfaction whioh the Noble Lord had expressed at the conclusion of the operations in Afghanistan , he ( Mr . Wood ) apprehended there would be no difference of opinion in that
House——( hear ) . There could be no difference of opinion an to the advance upon Cabul , and the vindication of the honour of our troops—( hear , hear ) . But the House was not called upon on tbia occasion to express any opinion whatever as to the general policy upon which these operations were conducted ; because already two notices of motion had been given , by the Hon . Member for Bath , and the Bight Hon . the First Lord of the Treasury , which would afford opportunity enough to discuss that question —( hear ) . He hoped that before these motions came on , her Majesty's Ministers would be able to lay before the Hoase , the information necessary to form a correct judgment of those operations—( hear ) . He trusted that the information , which Ministers already possessed ,
wonld enable them to contradict the reports which had been circulated of excesses committed by our troops—excesses revolting to every man of common humanity—excesses said to have been committed by onr troops upon the unarmed inhabitants of oitieB ot which we had for some time been in peaceable possession—( hear , hear ) . He trusted that Ministers wonld be able to inform the House that we had not left , in the conn tries beyond the Indus , a justly exasperated population . With respect to the treaty with the United States of America—that was a subject upon which the House would look to the Government for explanation , which he was sure the Government would be most anxions to give—( hear , hear ) . He for one was ready to admit that , in
adjusting our differences with that country , no importance should be attached to a few square miles of disputed territory , more or less . I confess it appears to me , upon the authority of a document , of tb *> authenticity of which there can be no doubt , that all those questions are not so satisfactorily settled as we might at first have been led to believe . The subject upon which I now wish to have an explanation from her Majesty ' s Government , refers to the question of what is commonly called the right of visit . I apprehend that of all the questions likely to agitate the public mind in the United States , there is not one more calculated to lead , to angry feeling than that of their right of visitand as there has been some confusion between
, what is called tha right of visit and the right of search , I shall take the liberty of stating my view of each as distinctly as I can . I apprehend the right of visit claimed by this country to be the right of our cruisers to ascertain whether a merchant vessel is justly entitled to the protection of the flag which she may happen to have hoisted on the vessel being at the time in such a condition as to render her liable to suspicion—first , that she is not entitled to the protection of that flag * and next , that if she be not entitled to that protection , she iB either under the law of nations or by the right of treaties , subject to the suspicion and controul of other Powers . That was the claim put forward by Lord Aberdeen in bis communication with the Envoy of the United
States , and supported by arguments which I am sure it is unnecessary to repeat in a British House of Commons . —( hear . ) It is enough to say that if thiB right is not to be exercised any vessel may sail unquestioned and uninterrupted through the squadron of cruisers we possess full of slaves—( hear , bear ) . It iB enough to say that the most atrocious buccaneer or pirate might sail unquestioned through the fleets of all the maritime powers in the world if the right in question were denied . But this right is not only denied by the United States but it is also stated in the document to which I have referred that it has , been grown up by this country So monstrous does this assertion appear to me that I shall take the liberty of referring to the
words of the President's Message relative to the subject . The extract is of the following nature : — " In enforcement of the laws and treating stipulations of Great Britain , a custom has threatened to grow : up on the part of her cruisers of subjecting to visitation ships sailing under the American flag , which , while it seriously involves our maritime rights , would subject to vexation a branch of our trade which was increasing , and which requires the fostering care of the Government ; and although Lord Aberdeen , in his correspondence with the American Envoy in London , expressly renounced any right to detain American ships in the high seas , even if crowded with slaves , and limits the British pretensions to a mere claim of visit and
inquiry ; yet , it could not be well discerned by the executive of the United States how such visit and inquiry could be made without detention and the consequent interruption of our trade . It was regarded as the sight of search , presented only in a new form and in different words . " That was the view which the President of the United States took of the question , which he treated as equivalent to the right of search whioh was at once given up by Lord Aberdeen . The statement of the American President created great excitement among parties who take an interest in the suppression of the slave-trade ; and the subject iB one which calta foi an explanation from the Government . I will eay for myself at once , that I entertain not the slightest
doubt what the answer of our Government will , be . I have not the slightest doubt but that they will tell us they have made no concession upon that subject to the Government of the United States . 1 believe that no British Minister would , or could , make such concession . He would quote to the House the eloquent language of Lord Aberdeen ' s diepatch upon the subject . That language was as follows : — " The undersigned begs to repeat that with American vessels , British oruiBers have , no pretence to interfere . Such vessels must be permitted to enjoy a monopoly of the unhallowed trade ; but the British Governmeat will never endure that the fraudulent use of the American flag shall extend
impunity to thoBe by whom it is abhorred , and who have entered into solemn treaties for its suppression . " —( loud cheers ) . He ( Mr . Wood ) believed ( that that eloquent passage embodied the feelings of every Englishman on the subject ; and he believed that no concession had been made to it by her Majesty ' s Government . He trusted that the spirit of the regulations hitherto enforced upon the subject would be preserved for the future , tie was aware that the instructions to be given to our cruisers were under the directions of Dr . Lnshington and Captain Denman—men whose names were a security for the able and effectual discharge of the duty they had undertaken : but he ( Mr . C . Wood ) hoped that in the new

instructions the spirit of tbe old instructions would be adhered to . He was sure the answer of the Government upon the point would be satisfactory to that House-r- ( hear , hear ;) He could not , however , help saying , that the present state of the question suggested a doubt as to the final settlement of our differences with the United States . But , speaking generally , with regard to our foreign affairs , he was sure the House would receive with satisfaction the statements contained in the speech from the Throne , and would join in its congratulations . He confessed , however , that he derived but little satisfaction from the expressions in the speech relative to our internal polioy . ( Hear , hear ) The House would , no doubt , participate with her Majesty in
the sympathy which she expressed for the sufferings of her people . But surely those sufferings mere of a nature to oallforth something more than sympathy . ( Hear , bear . ) He did expect to find in her Majesty ' s speech—he did not say the precise nature of the remedies which the-Government was about to propose—but he did expect to find in it some indications at least of the measures they intended to bring forward for the purpose of removing that depression of our trade which has now lasted too long . ( Hear . ) And when he remembered the censure of which the late Government was the object for introducing great measures which thty had not announced in the speech from the throne , he could not help thinking that no such measures were now in
contemplation . The Hon . Gentleman who seconded the address had told them of some symptoms of reviving trade ; but no one could be so sanguine as to believe that any great improvement had of late taken place in the condition of the people . —( Hear , hear . ) If be considered the state of his own county ( Yorkshire ) , he need but appeal to the Hon . Member for Leeds , who , this time last year , drew a touching picture of the distress that existed . It was no exaggeration to say that , in the last year , the distress had doubled . He had a return of the money sp ^ nt in many parts in out-door relief . In Leeds , in 1841 , it was 17 , 000 / ., in 1842 it was 23 , 000 / ., the number of applications in 1841 was 7 , 380 , while in 1842 it was double that amount , being 14 , 300 . —( Hear , hear . ) If
ke referred to the Member for Lancashire , he would tell the same tale . —( Hear , hear . ) If be turned to Scotland the same complaint existed there , and what was . still a more convincing proof , the distress had penetrated into the agricultural districts—( hear , hear ) . In such a state of the country , were the representatives of the people to sit with tolded arms , without attempting to legislate 1 —( hear , hear ) . In order to restore the vigour of commerce , they had been promiBed that measures should be brought forward that would considerably alleviate the distress—( hear , hear ) . No one could doubt what those measures ought to be , namely , measures that would increase the demand for labour , stimulate trade , aud improve the condition of the people . At the
conclusion of the speech from tbe throne at the end of last Session , such measures were promised ; and he must confess that it was with feelings of the greatest disappointment that he found in her Majesty's speech at the opening of the present Session , no indication that that promise was to be followed up—( cries of hear , hear , hear ) . No sounder principle could be adopted than that of buying in the cheapest market , aud that there Bhould be no benefits given to classes . Such was the policy pursued by the late Government , and which he bad been in hopes of seeing carried out , as the sole means of improving the condition of the people . These principles were adapted to many articles last session , but not to those that materially affected the conditien of the
people—( cheers ) . With many articles of manufacturing indus ; ry and consumption the Government had not attempted to deal ; he had hoped to see something done with respect to sugar and corn , but the speech was entirely silent on that point . He knew not that in any article affecting the consumption of food the price had been reduced by the Legislature of last session —( hear , hear . ) Fortunately for the population of this country the prioe of wheat was lovr during the last autumn , but be he did not sro ho < v that could in any way result from the measure of the Right Hon . Gentle man . He thought the panic and alarm whioh had existed among the agriculturists were the most unfounded panic and alarm , as far at least as the
measures of the Right Honourable Gentleman were concerned , that could possibly prevail . For three months after the Bill of the Right Honourable Gentleman for regulating the prioe of wheat passed into a law , the prioe was only three shillings lower on the average , than when the old law was in operation . It was true , that under the operation of the sliding scale , it all came in at the time of the harvest ; but he did not believe that one grain more or one grain less came in in consequence of the change— ( hear , hear , from the Opposition ) , it came in at a different time ; it came in paying a different rate of duty ; but so far as the producer and the consumer , were concerned tie believed the new law was altogether a dead letter ,. The price rose up at the end of July
to ratrer more « than sixty-tour shillings , but tha prospect of the early harvest showed that it was impossible to do what bad been done in the preceding year , raise the nominal price to 7 . 0 a . or 80 a . by means or fraud . The early harvest rendered Jt necessary to bring in , in tbe month of August , no less than two million quarters of corn , and the operation of the law tended as unnaturally to depress the price of corn during the autumn , as it had to raise it previously . He hoped the agricultural Members would bear in mind that they , as well as others , were suffering from the operation of the sliding-aoale . —( Hear ) Much had been said about the necessity of giving thenew law a fair trial . It seemed to him to have been tried aud condemned . No alteration , as far as the consumer and the producer were concerned had been effected
by the new law . Whatever might be the principle upon whioh future Corn Laws should be based , be it protection , be it revenue , or be it a duty for registration only , it must be acceded by all that it was desirable to get rid of the uncertainty which now existed—( hear ) . He believed that the reduction in the price of agricultural produce was to be attributed entirely to the want of demand . It might be difficult to ascertain the exact falling off in the whole amount of consumption ; but he had been told , on good authority , that in the town of Stockport alone the quantity of beasts killed in 3 months of last year was less by 700 than intho same period of 1841 . He had been also told by a high agricultural authority , that owing to disease and other circumstances , there were not at that time sufficient cattle in the
country to supply the ordinary demand . If that was true , it was the interest of all classes to provide a remedy for such a state of things , and the only adequate remedy was the improvement of trade and the employment of the people . He believed that no advantage which even they as landlords could derive from the utmost prohibitory duty , could in any way equal that which they wonld derive from the prosperity of trade and manufactures . He believed that amongst agriculturists themselves thiB opinion was spreading in every directioa . They found that the price of agricultural produce was diminished ; they found that a portion of the population who had for years been employed in manufacturing towns , was falling back upon agricultural
parishes ; they found that the surplus labourers had increased , that the poor-rates were becoming increasingly heavy . All this produced a conviction that a change must bo effected . Allusion was made in the speech of her Majesty to the deficiency in the revenue . He believed that they wvre then to a considerable extent Buffering the penalty of rejeoting , in 1841 , the measures which were then proposed by the late Government . ( Laughter from the Ministerial benches . ) That those measures were sound in principle he believed no Member of her Majesty ' s Government would deny , after the deductions which they made last year , whatever might be the opinion of their supporters . It was impossible to denv those measures were calculated te create a demand
for our manufactures abroad , and thereby to improve the condition of our manufacturing population . They were told at the time when these measures were proposed that all that was necessary was a change of Government , aa though when Hon . Gentlemen opposite were placed in office money would be sura to flow into the Treasury . He apprehended that the result was far from bearing out such an opinion , tbat at that time tbe deficiency waa greater than it had ever been—( hear , hear ) . Up te the 10 th of October the certified deficiency was two millions and a half . Had it been diminished ; in the last quarter . ' —( bear , bear ) . He thought not ; he thought he might say that tbe deficiency up to the 5 th of January , was not leas than three millions and a bait . He sincerely hoped
that the receipts from the Income Tax would be as great as bad been expected by tbe Right Hon . Gentleman himself , but they mubt double his own estimate , in oider to meet the deficiency . He believed tbe falling off in ordinary sources of income extended to every thing , except the Post-office —( heat , hear , hear ) . The greatest deficiency was in tbe Excise , whioh was not touched by the measure of the Right Hon . Gentleman , and whioh had usually been considered as the best test of the prosperity of the nation . If they were ever to be relieved from the burden of the income tax , it could only be by the improvement of tbe ordinary sources of revenue . He could not but hope that the Government ¦ wo « ld bring forward some measures for improving the state of commerce . Even the speech of the Noble Lord encouraged such a hope , for he bad expressed a hope that the Government would persevere , not rashly , but steadily and firmly , in tbe course which they had
pursued during the last session . He trusted that even before that debate was concluded , the Right Hon . Gentleman would not leave them without s ^ me assurance that auoh wan his intention . ( Hear , hear . ) Such an assurance would only be in accordance with the recorded opinions of the Bight Honourable Gentleman himself , and of the Government of which he was the bead ; and he might depend upon it that whatever the opposition which he might meet with from gentlemen who sat behind him , he would , at least , have the continued support of that ( the Opposition ) aide of tbe House , in carrying out those measures which were best calculated to improve the condition of the manufacturing population . The condition of the people was one of which tbe oldest man could scarcely remember a parallel . The depression waa similar to that which prevailed when Mr . Huskisson , in 1825 , brought forward his measures for the relaxation of the tbeu . ee tn

mercial tariff . Under that relaxation , trade revived . He believed that a similar era had now arrived , aud he also believed that from tbe application © f similar rentedies to the whole of our imports , aird especially to the great articles of consumption , they might look for a revival of traide , an increase of revenue , and an improvement in the moral and social condition of the whole popuiation .- |( Cheers . ) Sir R . Perl said he was happy to infer , from the general tone and tenor of the speech of the Honourable Gentleman , and the approbation with which that speech jwas received from those who generally concurred with him in opinion that there was every prospect that they would be able to present to her Majesty an ! unanimous address in answer to the
speech . He could not have heard the declaration of the Honourable Gentleman , with reference to the foreign policy of Her Majesty ' s Government , without great satisfaction , because it appeared to him to imply entire and almost unqualified approbation of the policy which her Majesty ' s Government had pursued with respect to foreign affairs . —( Hear . ) The only reservation which the Hon . Gentleman had made , was with respect to the course pursued to the westward ef ibe Indus ; and as there was a notice on the books ' * of jthe House with respect to that particular subject there would be a more fitting opportunity afforded of expressing his opinion . The Hon .
Gentleman referred particularly to the treaty which this country bad j concluded with the United States . The Hon . Gantleman said , with respect to the differences referred to in-the speech from the throne—namely , those between the iState of Maine and the United Statesthat a few miles more or less of territory was of little importance , compared with the adjustment of differences between two ] mighty countries , which had * continued for half a century , and which were now amicably settled . He rejoiced to hear from the Honourable Gentleman his frank admissions inrespect to the policy pursued towards tfee United States , as far aa the question of boundary was concerned . If an opportunity of future ' discussion was allowed , he felt confident that he should be able to
show to tbe House and the country that the treaty conducted by his Noble Friend , who had almost retired from public life , and who , influenced solely and exclusively by a sense of dnty to bis country , was induced to leave his repose for tbe single purpose of contributing , if possible , to Jthe ad juitaaent of the question between the two countries—he trusted he should be able to show , if the policy of that treaty should be questioned there as it had been out of the House—that the treaty of the Noble Lord gave them every thing essential for the maintenance of the North American provinces , though be did not believe it gave them that they were entitled j by the intention of the parties justly to expect—( Hear , hear , hear , )—yet considering the uncertainty which prevailed as to the letter » t the treaty ,
the ignorance of the Geography of the country which prevailed at the time ; considering also how impossible it was to execute the treaty , the division made giving one half to the United States and the other half to this conntry , their military stations being preserved , the adjustment of ; tbe question upon tbe whwle being more favourable than that which was given to them on a former period , he fait confident he would be able to provej satisfactorily to the House that they bad acted consistently with sound feeling- —consistently with the interests of the country in ratifying that Convention . —( Loud cheeis . ) He knew there were parties who tried to obstruct the amicable settlement of the question , there were those who blamed Mr . Webster as well as Lord Athburton , because he had seceded
from the pretensions put forward by the United States , because he saw there was no other mode of bringing tbe question to' an amicable settlement—( hear , heur ) . He was taunted with selling his country . Here it was the A . 8 hbu * tou-capitulation , there it was the Webster capitulation ; but G- > d be thanked , there were sufficient moderate and good men who knew that a relinquishment of extre ' me pretensions on each side might be compatible with tbe authority of each , and that tbe question of dispute was nothing compared with the establishment of an amicable union between the two great people of I kindred origin and kindred language , and whose interests were as deeply interwoven as their origin—( hear , hear , aud cheers ) . He thanked the Hon . Gentlema i for the fairness and manliness with which
be expressed his sentiments of that treaty . Tbe Hon . Gentleman had given him an oppoitunity , and he rejoiced at it , of making some observations with respect to tbe message which contained matter important not only to England and tbe United States but to every civilized country that trafficked on the ocean . It was a painful duty to him to refer to the message of the President of the United States , but he sincerely and honestly believed that it was necessary that a good understanding between the United States and this country should ; prevail on the subject of the right of visit—( hear ) . That message did not give a good account of the nature ef the negociation . The Right Hon . Bart continued at great length on this subject , but did not touch on any other subject of foreign policy .
He then proceeded to comment on the various topics of domestic economy , including the revenue , the import duties , the excise , and . the eorn laws , —on the latter portion of hi * speech with much emphasis ; and in conclusion declared that the Government had no intention of p'oposiinr any extensive changes in the corn lawa dating tbaJ-Sewion . Loto John Russell assured the House that he did not intend by inu vote to offer any dissent to the address which had been moved—( hear , bear ) . Be agreed generally with tbe statements contained in the Speech relative to foreign affairs , bat deprecated the
proclamation of Lord Ellenborough which be denounced as paying the same respect to Pagan superstitions and the most gross idolatory . as if they were really the Christian religion . The Noble Lord also commented fully and freely upon all points of domestic policy , and attacked Sir K . Peel on tils adherence to the sliding scale ; and also on the feeling throughout the country on tbe subject of the Income Tax . He then alluded to the disturbances in the manufacturing districts , and advocated the spread of education among the working classes as a means of counteracting the effects of which might be produced by " the harangues of mischievous demagogues . " i
Sir Charles Napier , Mr . Wallace , liOrd Stanley , Viscount Palmeraton , Sir Robert IngUs , Mr . VUUers , Lord Howick . Mr . Hume , Mr . Ferrand , Mr . Ewart , Mr . J . M . Gibson ' , Mr . Brother ton , Mr . G . Brookes ,-Mr . Sergeant Murphy ; , Mr . Mark Phillipps , and Ciptain Pechell , afterwards took part in the debate . Tbe proceedings were enlivened some little by a tilt between some of the League Members and Mr . Ferrand . When Mr . Yiiliera was [ attempting to take credit for the bold the League have upon the public mind from the " ticket meetings" lately held , Mr . Ferrand laughed . This provoked a keen observation or two from Mr . Villiers . After Mr . Hume had spoken ,
Mr . FERRANDisaid tbat if the Honourable Gentleman wonld give notice of his intention to discuss tbe question of free trade , he ( Mr . Ferrand ) would be prepared to join issue with him , to appeal to the country upon the different principles , and by the answer given byjthe people to that appeal he would be content to abide . He agreed with the Honourable Gentleman that the labour of the working man should be protected . He believed it was high time that the labour of the operative should be protected , but that protection never would be obtained unless machinery werel taxed—( opposition cheers , and hear , hear ) . It ' was high time to cry "hear , hear , " when machinery had deprived the people of their daily bread . The workman was commanded
to live by the sweat of his brow , aud machinery took away from { him ; he power /—( hear , hear , from Mr . Vilhers ) . Hear , hear , from the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton , who gloried in the present application of machinery . The Prime Minister of England was cheered last session by Honourable Gentlemen opposite when he proposed his measures of free trade ; they said that as far as he went those measures would , work for the benefit of the country . Had they done so ! ( Opposition cheers . ) They came and told him , with great ingratitude , after he had been led away by their cheering ] smiles—( great laughter)—and had taken their testimony and their great profession ' s in favour of free trade , that they now found not only
commerce more stagnated , but agricultural distress along witn it . Was the House to go along with them any longer in the professions they made ! Did the country go along with them ? Had they appealed to any great publio meeting in the north of England ? Had they appealed to the masses 1 Had they not held their meetings , to whioh the audience were admitted only by ] tickets ? ( Cheers . ) Had not the majority of every assembly been composed of women I ( Laughter . ) Were they the proper persons to judge of such a question aa the Corn Laws ! They had been exoited by the eloquent and poetical overflowings of the Honourable Member for Bolton —( loud laughter )—but would they not have been better employed at home iu their domestic
duties ? He was glad that he could discuss those things in that House in the presence of the Hon . Members , without fear of being bundled out ef the windows —( cheers ) . There were two or three men who did attempt a discussion at those meetings . They had the presumption to differ from some members of that House ; they wished to discuss the question on its merits '; they wished to tell the workmen that the Corn Laws never injured them . Honour able Members durst not listen to them , and the manner in which these men were treated stamped the Anti-Corn Law League with indelible disgrace —( cheers ) . The ] Hon . Member ( Mr . Villiers ) might say that they had | the people with them . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) would to ready to meet and discuss the matter in any town in the north of England . Would
they accept the challenge ? Mere assertions were ouly trumpery matters in these days . Let them come to the proof . j He would meet the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton , the Honourable Member for Bolton , or any other Member connected with the Anti-Corn Law League in any town in Yorkshire or Lancashire —( hear , hear ) . He asked honourable members opposite whether the measures of the Right RonJ Baronet , though heidiffered from him with respect to many of them , had not caused a reduction in the price of food ! The price , of meat had fallen from 7 d . to 5 d . and to 4 ^ d j in the north the price of flour had fallea to a great extent ; oatmeal had fallen in the same Droportion ; aud potatoes had fallen from 8 s . 6 d . to 3 s . a load . The working classes would have benefitted by thisfall if ' thejbad been allowed to do so j but they were excluded
