duriDg the emergency through which wo had just passed , eres uader thd most prohibitory system . With respect to the general state of the country , it was not as Lord G . Btntinck alleged , oaeof tharae or degradation , although it was undoubtedly one of suffering , eut of which tbe conntry would rise again to its former prosperity . There wag nothing in the present state of the country to justify despondency in any mind . As to the revenue , he had no doubt but that the houie would readily grant to the government all the supplies necessary to meet the exigencies of the publio service . If he entertained any
hopes as to our speedy recovory' from our present difflonlties , it was not because he had any great reliance upon any thing that garernment could do . Hie hopes were based upon a broader foundation—upoa the great and noble character of a nation , a character which had redeemed It on past occasions from crises of a still more portentous nature than that from which tt li now suffer , ing ; and in following and aiding , as far as possible , the nation in working out it own redemption , the governm « nt of the country would prove itself worthy of the high truBt wbioh had been reposed in it ,
Tn the debate which followed no new point wai taken up . Mr Robinson , Mr Bankea , and Mr Newdegate repeated , 1 h their several fashions , the arguments which formed the staple of Lord G . Bentlnck ' s speech ; and Mr Hume and Mr Labouchere re-bashed the common * places of the free traders . Tho former gentleman , however , declared that though he had always opposed coercive measures fo » Ireland heretofore , he was now prepared to vote in favour of such measures . Mr Scott regarded tha Queen ' s Speech in the light of one lengthened Indictment against the government , to which , as they themselves concocted it , they might be taken as pleading guilty . Every paragraph of it wai a condemnation of the ministry . It condemned them in all that It said , and in all that it omitted tosay—the honourable gentleman evidently viewing it aa not only indictment and plea , but ae judgment also , a view of the matter which afforded considerable amusement to all parties present .
The report was then brought up , and the address was ordered to be presented to her Majesty . The bouse then adjourned .

,, , , , ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES . NOTICE TO DEPOSITORS . The printed certificates are now inj course of issuebut it is found impossible to meet the wishes of some of the depositors who desir e to have them by return of post , or even in a few days . Notice is hereby given , that receipts or vouchers for money paid into the Bank prior to 1 st inst ., are required to be left a full fortnight for examination ' , and if at the expiration of that time from the date of posting them the certificates are not returned , depositors , in that case , will do well to apply to the manager by letter .

Depositors will please to send their signatures and correct address and description , with the vouchers , in order to save delay and prevent miscar . riage of letters .
All letters containing such vouchers to be prepaid by the depositors , who will , ON THIS OCCASION ONLY , receive the amount of postage so paid , with the certificate . All depositors not prepaying their letters will be charged with the double amount of postage on delivery , and the sum will be deducltd from their credit at the Bank . It having been observed that in a very few cases , withdrawals have taken place previous to the ap . pointment of a Manager , on which the depositors Heglected to claim , or on which interest was not paid * owing to the then incomplete arrangements of the Bank—NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that such interest will now be remitted , as may appear due up to the date of such withdrawals , on the necessary application being made to the Manager for that purpose , GIVING FULL PARTICULARS OF AMOUNTS AND DATES .

England . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr M . O'Cosseu . said that the speech the home had just heard was exactly gnch a one ai was calculated to excite to frtntj fee already inflamed people of Ireland , Tfaehon . baronat bad l » en particularly facetioa * on the subject « f certain Irish members dying on the floor of the tonse . He ( Mr O'Connell ) feelieTed that tho necessi ^ for such an extremity would not occur , brcauee the Iri&h rae-nbsrs could , as they had done before , defeat « nj Coercion Bill that might be bronght forward . The hon . bart . had alluded to a certain « peech made by ArchdeaconLaff * n . but ha had ealj quoted the commence , nent of that speech omiting the conclusion , which deaounceacrimej andexhorteotliepeop letopeaceandorder . ( Hear , hear . ) It should bt recollecUd also that the commencement of the speech , however ill-advised it
might be under other circnnMtances , htd been provoked by the constant calumnies and abuse of certain English newspapers . He would ask that house , did they think that if the people of England suffered one-tentb . of the oppression tinder which the Irish laboured , they would fciveremuaed quiet under it ! MrS . Cziwfo&d urged the paramount importance of Mttlingthe Landlord an 4 Tenant question . ; He was by so means satisfied with the assurance of the Hiniitan ob the subject . Thej had promised the same thing latt year and bad done nothing . Mr Heaqhk defeated Archdeacon Isffim .
Sx W Sommvuls described at great length and in itrong lasgaaee the character of the present outrages in Ireland . As to the Poor L * w , its success in Ireland had exceeded bi » expectations . It wss true that la some parts of the coantry the law might not in itself be sufficient for the purposefor which it was framed , but that ¦ was no reason why its provisions should not bo en . forced . Theresonrces of Ireland should he drawn upon , as f * r as they could gafot tho support of the poor , and when the people of thi » country were confident that in any district their resources wete exhausted , destitution still remaiHingunrelieveii he was sura that they wonld come readily forward , as they had already done , to supply such aid as might be necessary . HrS . O'BsiEff supported the address and wonldvote for ' strong measures' for Ireland . Mr Feisqds O'Cwnwasaid , that as this was confessedly the financial programme to tbe session , he was not at all astonished to find the Chancellor of
tha Exchequer checking the exuberance of the member for Drogheda . He could not see what great advantage the Chancellor of the Exchequer would derive from bis financial programme , after the comma , nicxtions which had been made by the right honourable eentkman , the Secretary for Ireland . The object of calling Parliament together was to giro stability to the money-market , and what had the right honourable gentleman told the hoasa ? He had a n * sounesd tbjjTfact , that 2 , 600 , 000 paupers were bus * tained last year , whilst ho made the appalling revelanon , that the potato crop , usually valued at eixteen millions , was this year valued at no more than four millions . ( Hear . ) Now . although the confessed object of the Irish Coercion Bill was to give stability
to the money-market , and confidence to the speculator , he feared that this announcement , coupled with the rateable value of the property of Ireland , as declared by the honourable member for Marylebone , at fourteen millions , would cause despair where hope wa 3 anticipated . ( Hear , hear . ) Here , then , we have the astounding fact , that the whole property of Ireland was estimated at fourteen millions , while the deficiency , in one crop alone , was estimated at twelve millioEB ; and doe 3 the house suppose that that deficiency can be made goad by coercion ? But even this financial blunder of the rL-ht honourable Secretary for Ireland , should nat have induced him ( Mr O'C . ) to take any part in the present discussion ,
bad it not been for the ill-timed speech of the honourable member for Northamptonshire . But for that speech he would have accepted the invitation of the right honourable Secretary for the Home Department , and would have abided the coming of that discussion , which he assures us will baa fertile source of disputation . He thought the Bpeecbjustdeliveredbythe honourable member for Northamptonshire , was most ungenerous and most unfair , for if be ( Mr O'Connor ) were to describe murders committed ia England , he too might narrow up the feelings of the house . But English gentle * men would not , therefore , seek for measures beyond the law to pat down each crimes in England . No
man was more anxious to repress crimes in Ireland than he was ; and more ready to assist the government in pntting down crime , provided that the government were determined that there should not be a recurrence of crime . They heard of coercion being asked fsr Ireland , but improvement was never proposed by any of her Majesty ' s ministers . ( Hear , hear . ) There was tranquillity in starvation and quiet in the grave , and aa long as that was the case there would ba no improvement . The power ef the govennEeHt was sufficient to repress crime , and there was no necessity for coercion beyond the law . The eause of crime in Ireland was misgovernment . He should not have risen but for the harrowine and unfair speech of tbe hononrable member for
Northamptonshire . He asked the government to solve this problem , which was to him a paradox , and until they did , they W 6 uld bejostly chargeable with every crime committed in Ireland . How did it happen that with a genial climate , an industrious people— ( laughter ) —he understood that laughter , but in spite of it he contended his countrymen were industrious , as they traversed the world in search of the lion ' s share of labour , while industry in Ireland was not only a tax bnt a condemnation « f the industrious . Thus , the man who rented laud at a pound an acre , and who by his nwastry increased its value to 25 s . an acre induced the avarice of the landlord or the middleman to dispossess him , or to increase his rent by the value of his own industry , and now where ' s the laugh ?
< Hear . Lear . ) He repeated the qaestion , therefore , how did it happen that with % genial climate , an inciustriouB people , and a fertile soil , the Irish people , in this a * e of progress , - were bo far behind other nations , not so highly favoured—that they alone-were retrograding , while other countries were progressing in civilisation ? He would Bolve the problem for them . It was because they bad been disinherited , classafter class , until the government were obliged to ask for Coercion Bills , as salves for the wounds themselves bad mtde . What did gevernment propose with a view of preventing the necessity of other Coercion Bills I Why did they not propose their remedies first ? The government had first disinherited the Church ; they fed the landlords
UDOntwentvfive per cent , of the Church property ; the Free Trade party were then allowed to feed upon the landlords ; and now the hononrable member for Nor * thamptocsbire had said the landlords were not able to feed the people without the help of government The policy of government had ever been to make Ireland the battle-field of political factions , and hence when the church became weak through exhaustion ' , and when the people could no longer sustain it at war pr ' ces , the political aid of the landlords was required and the church was sacrificed . Then free trade became the political cry —( hear , hear )—and its supporters achieved political ascendancy and , in turn v tbe Irish landlords , the English landlords , too . were v sscrifieed —( hear , hear )—and when the rail wav mania
Miad achieved tne ascendant , the Free Traders , in Virn , must be sacrificed to the dominant party . Thb isthe policy that he ( Mr O'Connor ) objected to this m « je withering system under which Ireland has ' been pauperised and England bronght to tbe verv brink of mn The landlords had it in their power . ' hemaintimeo ^ to discharge their duty to the people tomorrow , i ^ they chose . There was just one mastergneyante In Ireland ; and , if that were removed it would doa thousand times more good than settW the people to knock downhills and di g holes Give . t ! ie teniatrj perpetual tenure at a corn-rent and all would he rigVt ; and until they did that , the Irish peopte would fe eternally cDrainz to the povernraent forassiatance , aud the landlords for coercion . Thev were constantly heariog of the virtues of every man who was murdered , and the valour of the landlords : but they ought not tofor Ret the starvation and sufferings of the people Members ought to remember the r own avowal ; that there wasno other occupation but Iwd , o Ireland , and that land mast be had . He eoold not join in the eulogiuras on the Irish landlords . They were not to be compared for a moment with the English landlords . And what was the reason ? Tke reason was , - that most of their estates were mortgaaed ; and their nianajement was handed over to middlemen , in order that they themselves ' might reside in England or abrjad , and those middlemen oppressed the tenantry , lie would describe the system . An Irish middleman rented from a landlord , say athousand acres of land ; he paid the lord a sufficient amount , by way of fine , to enable him to abandon his country and his duties , this eave the mddleman a hold upon the land , lard and a dominion over the tenant . He let 800 acres of the land at rack rents , reserving 200 acres
» m * m * ^— ' ' . ¦ and the mansion , which he kept in his own hand ? , and which the serfs were obliged to cultivate by free labsar , supporting tho house with fowls , eggs , and other provisions : giving the ladies' glove money , ' and the bailiff'bush money , ' while the agent of the absentee was , in general ,, an attorney , who was allowed to scramble for the head rent , after the middleman had screwed his profit out of the miserable tenant , and this attorney had an interest in ejectingand persecuting the tenants . This man also became & magistrate , and was appointed to discharge those duties , which , of right , appertained to the owner of the soil . ( Hear , hear . ) How could they hope that the Catholic population , the outlawed population of Ireland , would all at once come to
recognise and respectthe law . It would , indeed , take generations to do that ; but let the government proceed peaceably and progressively , and they would arrive in course of time at this desirable result with , out Coercion-Coercion Bills would only check their progress towards it . It was a melancholy thing to think that to-morrow , on 'Change , the report of a new Coercion Bill for Ireland would raise Consols two per cent . Ireland was the battle-ground of the Stock Exchange ; and government was obliged to have recourse to Coercion Bills , as a means of propping themselves up . Instead of passing Coercion Bills let them set the people to cultivate the land . The land was something . Let the government proceedtobase their measures on a reality , and not a
fiction . He would quote the motto of the right hon . member for Tamworth— 'The science of agriculture was only in itsinfancy . ' He ( Mr F . O'Connor ) had made this a household word in every cottage in England . He begged of them not to talk to him of over-population , and emigration , and Poor Laws , while one acre of land in the country remained uncultivated . If when the land was cultivated to its utmost extent emigration should be found to be necessary , he should agree to some measure of that kind , but not till then , as he considered it the paramount duty of the government « f a country to cultivate the national resources of a country , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) contended that so long as one single acre remained
uncultivated to the highest state of its capability , that every pauper was a verdict of guilt against that government . { IIear ; hear . ) Why go to foreign countries for food that yon could produce at home ? ( Hear , hear . ) And why have recourse to coercion , as a Beans of securing tranquillity , that improvement may fellow , when we have the avowal of the hon . gentleman who seconded the address , that we may not live to see , that the present generation , or the next generation may not see those promised improvements , while coeroioB is immediate . Isn't this hope for Ireland ? and was not his incautious admission , that the cause of Ireland's distress and poverty had been continuous misgovernment , a justification , or at all events a palliation of Irish crime . and a
condemnation of English government ? ( Hear , hear . ) And ihen the hon . baronet , the member for Marylebone , read a garbled extract , from the speech of the venerable Archdeacon Laftan , but it was a practice with that profession to which he belonged , to require the reading of the whole of any document , that was adduced in evidence ; and he ( Mr O'Connor ) haying read the whole of that document adopted it , justified it , and approved it , because ia it , taken as a whole , he recognised tha very strongest denunciation of crime . ( Hear . ) He did sot gather much comfort from the avowal , either of the right hon . secretary for the Home Department , or from the secretary for Ireland , when they stated that coercive measures were to be confined to the disturbed districts ; for the
house might rest assured , that such an application would be the plague spot which wonld spread throughout the length and breadth of the land ; the complaints of disease , pestilence , and famine , ahiftinif fteir gronnd from the coerced to the uncoerced districts , until at last a national measure of coercion would be applied for . And the government must not mistake cause for effect , but if they hoped for trar > qniilfty , they must remove the causes which have led to discontent . The Catholic people of Ireland cannot be won to affection by coercion , nor will the desp-rooted injuries , that they have received at the hands of British rulers , be banished from their metnories by other than kindly and encouraging means . ( Hear , hear . ) In order to ensure a proper
representation ef the industrial mind of tho countrv . and a profitable cultivation of her resource ? , he ( Mr O'Connor ) implored the English and Irish landlords to unite upon the establishment of some real basis , upon which the constitution may be founded ; it was impossible to stretch fiction to meet national requirements '; tbe nope of tbe nation coald be only oased upon a reality , and that reality was only to be found in the land , upon a system which would enable the cultivator to work willing task work everyday in the year , for his own benefit , instead of rivine his slave - labour grudgingly to another . He ( Mr O'Connor ) called upon the government to lay a proper measurefor the adjustment of differences between landlord and tenant , upon the table of that
house , for he begged to assure them that it was hopeless to expect to govern Ireland by abuse of the people and their priesthood . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not ask for such a measure as that concocted by the Irish Council , which was one jumble of complication from the beginning to the end , making confusion worse confounded , and , in short , asking for additional privileges to those already possessed by the Irish landlords . ( Hear , hear . ) He asked the government whether , after the confession of the hon . member who seconded the address , that Irish distress and dissatisfaction was consequent upon misgovernment , whether the necessity for coercion was not a condemnation of that government . He would sow appeal to the different sections of Irish members ,
whether of the Irish Council , of the Old Ireland , the Young Ireland , or the Confederate party , to merge their own little differences , whatever they might be ,. in one common feeling of patriotism ; and notwithstanding the taunt of the hon . member for Marylebone levelled at the declaration of the hon . member for Kilkenny , that he could become a victim m the cause of Ireland if necessary , he , ( Mr O'Connor , ) although an English member , did not forget that he was an Irishman , and his resolve was now the same as in 1833 . to enlist as an Irish soldier , to resist coercion to the death , and if all the Irish members were impressed with his feeling they would sit in that house , stand in that house , Bleep in that house , and die in that houseif necessaryrather
, , than allow their country to be coerced . ( Cheers and shouts of 'bravo' from the Irish members , which were fo'lowed by a general cry of « Order , order . ' ) It was fourteen years since he first had the honour of a seat in that house , and he then , as now , told the ministers that , apart from all party and factions feeling , he ( Mr O'Connor ) would to prepared to give his assent and support to any good measures they might propose , and he repeated the same now ; but as they were not likely to propound those healing measures , they should have his most determined opposition . ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) He repeated it , that in all good measures he was ready to
aid them , but as they were not likely to produce those good measures they must expect his most stern opposition ; that was his answer to laughter , and it was good reason , sound justice , and good logic . But the present ministry was a weak ministry—the weakest ministry that every sat upon those benches—holding office upon toleration , and hoping to strengthen their hands by hatred to Ireland . ( Cheers from the Irish members ) Again he declared that he should not have taken any part in the debate upon the address , had it not been for the ill-timed , ungenerous , and figurative speech of the hon . member for Northamptonshire . ( Cheers , and cries of Divide /)
MrGB 4 TTA . ii withdrew his amendment , and after the Chancellor of the Exchequer , in answer to Mr Berries had promised a sUtement on the financial policy of the government on Tuesday next , which would give an opportunity for a debate on the monetary question / the addreii was agreed to , and the house adjourned shortly after twelve o ' clock .
HOUSE OP COMMONS . Wm > hes » ay , Nov . 2 * . —TheSwuto took the chair at four o ' clock , when several members were sworn . Kamerous petitions were presented on the subject of the admlnloH of Jews to Parliament , pro , and eon . amongst the latter was one by Sir R . Inglls , from clergy of diocese of York , praying that the house would not admit amongst its member * thoie who regarded the 8 ariour of the World as no better than aa impostor . Poor Law Coxhibsion . —In answer to a question from Mr Baokes , Lord J . Rcssem said that no appolntm ; nt had yet heen made to tbe office of President , of the New Poor law Commission . Until the necessary order in council should bo made by her Majesty , the commissIonerannaeFtli * former act would be responbible for the confluct of the Poor Law .
State of IBEUSD .-Capt . Hahbu was anxious to hear from the Secretary for Ireland whether any steps had been . taken for the trial of the two priests mentioned in the previous n ght ' s debate—namely , ths priest who had denounced Major Mahon on the day previous to his murder , and the other who en an inqneitopoa a murdered man admitted that he had acted in a similar nunner . Sir W . Someeville said that bo steps had been taken by government in furtherance of tbe object alluded toa Mr F O'CoKKoa wished to know whether any steps bad been taken to bring to justice the persons against whom a coroner ' s jury had fouad a verdict of wilful murder in 183 * . He alluded to the cases of Archdeacon Ryder . Mr Bagnal , and a Capt . Collis . Sir W . Soxebviue said that the hon , member had better give notice of his question . - The CnAHCELioB , of the Exchequer in answer ; to Mr
Robinson , said the inquiry en the Bank Qaestion was to bo general , and would include all ' topics connected with the currency . ¦ . " . v - The Abbiess . —On the bringing up ofthe report of the committee on the address , ¦ .. MrR . Osiokbe reviewed the leading topics of the Speech , ' having lost bis chance ef speaking on the pre . vlous night . After adverting te the Currency question and our foreign policy , he defended Arcbdeacon ^ Luffan ' on account of his excitable temperament , and as having lately suffered from ULheatb . With reference to Irish polloy . He denounced'the outra ges prevalent in some district ! of Ireland , which he declared were not wholly
of au agrarian character . Under these circumstanced he was not altogether disinclined to strengthen the bands efthe Irish Executive , but btfore he gave his vote for a measure of coercion he must first ascertain from the governmentwhat schemes for the social amelioration of the country the government intended to derelop . Much itreBB was laid upon the beneficial effects of a Tenant Right Bill , but until they Improved the condition of the labouring classes in Ireland , nothing could be « fleeted for the improvement of that country . _ He regretted that the Speech from the Throne had not foreshadowed a bill to facilitate the sale of encumbered estates .
Lord <* . Bentinck called for definite information as to the reasons which had Induced the government to puriuii the disastrous policy they had done with mfereHce to the commercial distress and the currency . He denied that there was any truth in the cry of tbe government and of the Free Traders , that the railroad speculations ha « created the distress in the money market . Mr Hey wood said that £ 161 , 000 , 009 had been spent on railways , and that no conntry coald stand such a drain ; he forgot to tell the house that that sum was spent in twenty years , and that only £ 85 , 000 , 000 bad been spent in the period between 1840 and the present time . That was not more than £ 12 , 800 , 000 a-year ; and after the large sumB which we had spent every year during the last war , and especially in the laBt year of it , it was
absurd to contend that an expenditure ef £ 12 , M 0 , 0 S 0 annually had bronght us to the verge of ruin . It was welf that the Free Traders should have some scapegoat on which to throw all their sins ; but how was it that in the United states , in Belgium , Holland , Bavaria , Prussia , and France , where the same dearth had prevailed , and where Urge sums had been expended in railways , the Ministers had congratulated their respective countries on having conquered all their financial difficulties ? The difference between these continental Powers and England was , ( hat not one of them had contented to abandon the principle of protectien to native industry . Not one of them had reduced the import duty on the commodities of foreign states , without gaining noiprocal advantages ; and the consequence was that they were now carrying
oh their manufactures to the detriment of those of England , and were even purchasing at Liverpool at the present moment more cotton than af any former-period at a lost to the British merchant—cotton which was . forwards to be worked up to meet the English operative in his own market . This was owing to our want of credit , to our moaey laws , and to Sir R . Peel's celebrated Elbing letter . Whilst we had been contracting thecurrency and passing Bank Charter Acts to saturate the country with gold , France had been contracting , not the number of her notes , but the site ef them from £ 90 to £ 8 . Bavaria had been establishing saving-bank > notes on the one hand , and railway bank-notes on the other , The Emperer of Russia had been sending away his gold and establishing three new series of bank-notes , each te
the amount of £ 950 , 000 . We , on the contrary , had been restricting our currency on the one hand , and letting in free imports on the other ; and the consequence was that England , which in 1845 was seated on the loftiest plnnael * of prosperity , presented in 1817 a lamentable spectacle of shame , bankruptcy , and disgrace . As to Ireland , ho trusted the government were not about to present to the world the spectacle of one set of mes turning another out , and then governing on tho same principles which they had repudiated in doing so . He would reserve his judgment on the Irish meaeiues of the government until they were before the houBe . Advert , ing to the subject of the slave trade , be animadverted upon the policy ef this country with regard to it ; attributing to that policy its increase instead of its sup .
pression , and concluded a lengthened speech in the fol . lowing terms : —For myself , I confess that I cannot see daylight at present . I know not what course we can , with safety , pursue , unless it be that of retracing our steps . The hen . member for Lancashire ( Mr Heywood ) said last eight that he could see only one ray of sunshine to illumine the gloom and darkness which sur . rounded us , and that was to be fonnd in the circumstance of her Majesty having been whisked along a railway at the rate of forty . flve miles an hour , ( A laugh . ) According to the hon . member , her Majesty passed like a bright star through the darkness ; but if he can farn . ish us with no greater hepe than is afforded by that cirenmstance , I fear that we have only the prospect of a melancholy fiture before ui . Oh ! how changed are the
auspices nnder which we commence this session as com . pired with those under which the leiston of 1846 began ! Then her Majesty permitted her Royal consort to hoaonr ut with his presence ia this house , as it were to swell the glory of the pageant—the sort of triumphal procession by which free trade was ushered in . Great promises were then made—high expectations were raised . I am surprised at not seeing here in bis place the hen . member for the West Hiding of York and the borough of Stoekport ( Mr Cobden . ) One might have expected that hon . member to have appeared here to face the dangers and difficulties of the present hour . I think that if the hon : member were here he would deem it his duty to explain how it has happentd that ahis promises and vows had been broken . ( Hear
hear . ) We know that la 1841 the hon , member delivered a celebrated address—one of those eloquent effusions which helped to make up the - weight of 416 toss of tracts circulated in the course of the Anti-Corn Law agitation—to the non . electors of Stcckport , in which he told his auuieuee that it was necessary to abolish the * im > pious and anti-Christian Corn Laws , 'and in two months from the passing of the bill which should effect that object , flour would be six farthings a-pound , whilst th « rt would also be plenty of employment at advanced wages . The hon . member also said that every mill would be going , and every loom in motion—that nsw houses , new churches , and new chapels would arise in all directions , and . in short , that there would be no limit to the prosperityof themsnnfacturers and theirworkpeople . The hon .
member further called upon all Christian mea to put down the impious monoply which , he said , took from each of the persons whom he was addressing fourpence out of every shilling , which fourpence they ought to have to expend In the purchase of tea , coffee , and clothing , Yes t the hon . member did not hesitate to declare that the unchristian Corn Law took one-third of their food from the wives and families of the poor in order to increase the overgrown wealth of the Duke of Bucking , ham and Sir James Orafaam , ( Hear , hear , ) I rejoice to see my right hon . friend in his place as large as life . ( A laugh . ) I rejoice to see my right bon . friend looking so well , fruh from tha contemplation of those hoards of wealth which the hon . member for Stoekport gave him
credit for possessing , which is doabtlesB a more agreeable occupation than that of bestowing attention upon those miserable free trade measures which are now beginning to develop ? their fatal results . I also rejoice to sec my right hon . friend on tha present occasion , because , if recollect rightly , contemporaneously with the address to which I have been referring , appeared another from my right bon , friend , and his presence here proveB that he has not beeoma the victim of an imnraoatioa which be introduced into that address . My ri ^ ht hon . friend in his speech to the electors of Dorchester expressed his horrer of certain changts then suggested b y some persons , and exclaimed : — ¦ < May I be cold bofore that dreadfal day ,
'Pressed with a load of monumental clay !' ( ' Hear , and laughter . ) And then my ri ght hpn . friend indulged in this apoBtrophe : — When thou , impirial Troy . muBt bend , And see thy warriors fell , thy glorious end . ' ( Laughter . ) But to revert to the promises which were held out la 1845—how different are the results of free trade measures from what we were taught to expect 1 We were promised prosperity and happiness , instead of which we see nothing but ruined employers and Btarvlag people—starving in the raidst of plentyfor have we aot just thanked Almighty God for the bounteous harvest ? How different was the position of
the conntry under the protective system , when we were content to pursue our prosperous and wealth-making industry in the old trade-winds of national and colonial pro ! e : tion . ( Hear , hear . ) Then came the day when unfortunately , the trade and commerce of this country —wantoning , BB it were , in their very . wealth and prosperity—not content with the benefits which they possessed , mutt needs listen to the seductive language of the right hon . baronet , the member for Tamworth , and tha hon . member for Stoekport , andto abandon the solid advantages which they enjeyed , ' for the meretricious tinsel of free trade . ( Hear , hear . ) Now how changed is their state : — - '
' How , like a voinkar or a prodigal , The scarped bark puts from her native bay , 1 Hugg'd and embractd by the strumpet wind . ' How Ilka a prodigal doth she return ' With over , weathered ribs and ragged sails , Lean , rent , and beggar'd by the strumpet wind . ( Cheers . ) Lord J . Rosbell , before alluding to the noble lord ' r speech , addressed himself briefly to some of the topic ' s contained in that of Mr Osborne . As to the sale of encumbered estates , he attached great importance te a measure which would facilitate the transfer of estates so circumstanced ; and inch a measure would , iu' all'pro . babllity , be speedily introduced into the house . ' The same with respect to a nvasnre to put on a better foot .
ing the great and important relation between landlord and tenant . The government were , therefore , not liable to the charge that coercioa onl y was in their mind . As to the mistaken nature of such a policy , his mind was still unchanged . As to Lord G . Bentinck ' a speech Mr Canning ' s phrase , 'that muoh good indignation had been thrown away , ' was very applicable to it . It was only with a view to the general convenience of the bouse thatthe Chancellor of the E xchequer had postponed b > explanation till Tuesday .
