As I have decided upen this gass , yon will not require any further comment jxn the trial just now , and therefore I leave that sMect , to come to what is of paramount importance , ' r ein the conTictiens on the fourth count .

      I hold that no conviction can be had on the fifth 5 S 21 , for more reasons than one , which I need not are stale , and which I regret l > eicg obliged Aw ; jmhlidy 10 mention , lint von znasi be gdiScd . I cow coma to the fourth count , jtieh charges the parses found gctltt on it ^ doing unlawfully that which those found foolish rider the fifth count did lawfully . It is my inten-3 E to move an arrest of judgment upen the whole T 2 &et ; that is to show that , firstly , the trial has ieai irregular ; secondly , the evidence has been sinmissible ; thirdly , the verdict has been illegal ;

      si , foHrtbJy , that the parties convicted on the fonrth Kit were not legally before the court . If those ejections were irregularities which could ba yet : ~? d , I should not state them , but they cannot , and it reason for stating them is to arouse yon to the arpietion of that work which you have so ssly commenced .

      The League clique in Knaresbro' have sent a memorial to Mr . Ferrand calling on him to vote with Mr . Yiliiers for a repeal of ihe Corn Laws . The Hon . Member , in acknowledging the receipt of the memorial .- thus addresses the party through whom it was sent : — Sir , —I fcaxe to acfcne-wledge the recei pt of youT letter , informing me that yon bare forwarded te my colle&gne , Ms . L ^ -wson , a requisition from a majority of the electcrs of Knarcsburough , requesting us to sup-> ortandTot 8 for ilr TUliers' motion fora Repeal of the Corn Laws . If the intimidation and corruption which were adoptetfby the agents of the anti-Corn Law Leagne in jour Borough , at tie last Section , for the

      purpose of Becnrjig the return of tbeir candidate after our Whig opponents Jiad retired ttom the fieia , and iad declared that they would not be jnstifieain disturbing the peace of the Borongh—are still in operation , I am not at all surprised at yonr communication ; but if the signatures nave bt * n obtained by a real belief in the falsehoods which are circulated by the anti-Corn Law Leagne , and their hired agitators en the question of the Corn Laws , I shall have no difficulty -when I visit the Borough , in convincing the electors of their error . ^ I T > eg yon to inform the reqnisitionists that I have jnst joined " The society for the Protection of British Indnstry . " ¦ which holds its meetings ? n every Tuesday and Friday , at Ho . § 9 , Pall . Vail : —one of its oV ^ -cta ia to obtain a Bepf-al of the prespnt

      Com Law , because it does not NOW afford sufficient protection to native indnstry , and to procure a law that will give more encouragement to the agricultural interest of Great Britain and Ireland , which alone provides a market for tbree-fonTtbs of our manufactures : and I am the more fully co - vinced of the urgent necessity for this measure from the feet that Foreign Governments , instead of adopting oar rninons policy , have been -warned by our rapidly increasing distress , and are lit this very time nursing and protecting tbeir own manufactures by securing to capital and labonr their jubI reward . If the Members of the Anti-Corn Law League irere sincerely anxious to relieve the present distress , they won d turn their attention to the -wants and snfferiegs of their starving operatives , from whose sintws they have extracted wealth , sufficient , aa they boast , " to buy up all the land : " if thty would contrast the enormous profits of their capital with the paltry

      reqnital they give for the labour of tbeir artizaas , tbey . might then grapple with the eMsJ cause of the present stagnation in trade : —but the same selfish spirit winch induced them to " annihilate by death from hunter" tbe race of Indian hand-loom weavers ¦ with that engine of misery " the po"wer-loem , " for tie purpose of giving " free scope to British capital , " British ingenuity , and British machinery , '" nevi declares that " to give their capital its due reward , " the price of labour at home must be kepi doim ;"and to enable them to effect this object , they hope to blind the manufacturing operatives with the cry of " cheap bread . '' In this they have signally failed : the ¦ working classes knew too well that bad wages are the cause of their present sefferings , &s ia ably shewn by one of th * ir order ( Richard Cro-wther , of Manchester , a fustian cutttr > , who , in a clever " essay on the cauas of bad trade , -with a plan of legal protection for wages as a remedy , " observes , that had wages are a greater obstacle to commerce than all the tarffi in the world . '"

      If Government -would again restore adeqnate protection to agricnltnre and trade—if the " free trade" manufacturers -would be content with producing a supply proportioned to the demand , instead of entering into xecklt-ss competition with each other , nntil their profits can only be txacttd from the "wages of their operatives—if they would adopt the golden rule of " liTe and let live , - instead of indiscriminately destroying manual labour by urrestrict-ed steam power machinery—if they -would render onto their aruzina " a fair , day ' s ¦ wages for a fair day s work , " the life-blood of Eng-. land ' s prosperity would again circulate in its former channel , her trade would revive , and her labouring population | ¦ wonld onca more become contented , prosperons and happy . 3 di . Yiliiers' motion-would , if successful , increase tile

      present distress ten-fold , by sacrificing the property ol Twenty-sevtn millions of cur fellow-countrymen for the uncertain and , at the best , tran > itory benefit of three millions ; and I kno-w no town that would more immediately and more severely Enffer from its effects than the borough of Knaresborough . My constituents art . a-ware that befoke they elected me their Representative , I distinctly declared my intention to oppose a repeal of the Corn Lawa , and I beg explicitly to inform them that I neither intend to forget the pledges 1 gave npon the hustings , nor to betray the interests of those who than reposed their confidence in me ; if therefore this my firm determination to act in conformity with

      the assurances I gave them meets with their disapprobation , they will , at the next election , have the oppsrtnnity of placing their confidence in some person whose principles may be more congenial with their own ; and if bo , it trill cause me no regret to bid farewell to a constituency who consider that deception and dishonour ought to be the chief qualifications of their representative . - 1 am .

      HOUSE OF LORDS—Tltsdat , March 14 . lord Mo'TEaglE , according to notice , moved " That a select committee be appointed to consider the operation cf the act passed last session to amend the laws r .-spectine the importation of com- " Lord Wharncliffe denied that the distress ao extensively prevalent in the conntry -would be in any -degree mitigated by the repeal of the Corn ( L 3-5 FS , and attributed it principally to gambling Ept-cn- ¦ lations in -corn , which the present act had done much to discourage . i Lird Clares don pressed for some immediate mea- , sure of relief from a distress which he described as fast ; going beyond the limits of human endurance , and ridi- j culed thB opinion that an inquiry such as that proposed j conld prove a " waste of time ' at a period of the ses- I sion -when their Lordships had literally no business to ' go on -withL The example of e-yery foreign nation showed that a movement was in progress in favunr of a free trade : and it was time that we deserted the ground we had un-wisely assumed , and connnenced a j mutual and profitable interchange of the commodities \

      ¦ which each conntry could best produce . He called for the committee , as the most satisfactory means of prov- ! ing , if proof "were possible , the beneficial -working of , the present la-w . He enlarged npon the danger of de- j laying necessary reforms nntil they conld no longer be refused , Bnd the evils of the existing uncertainty as to ! the continuance of protection ; and after an exculpation , of his personal motives , concluded by complaining that many of the pledges -with -which the present Government had entered " upon effice -were yet unfulfilled , and i insisted npon the necessity of setting free our commerce ' as a means of furnishing employment to our redundant

      population-Lord ASBbiRTO * had dra-wn a very contrary con- ; clnaion from the extensive details -with -which Lord ; Monteaglc ' s eneech had been crowded , and -was enn- ; -Finced that the principal cause of manufacturing j distress was the almost entire failure of the American j market- 2 * 0 argument , he contended , had been ad- j duced to sho-w that the distress , -which all admitted , j and which all lamented , bad been caused by the ] state of the Corn Laws ; and he -warned their Lord- j ahips not to attempt an alteration ¦ which might spread -vrider the existing depression , nntil its connexion "with the alleged cause -was clearly made out Gorn Laws in some shape or other were in force in . every part of Europe , and under their operation our manufacturing prosperity had grcrwn up , and the price . of food been maintained -wills fewer fluctuations than j in any other- country . statement

      The Date of Ricbsohd , in answer to a by Lord Monteagle , denied that Lord Grey ' s Cabinet had ever been divided upon the subject of the Com jj&n . Be approved the firmness of Government in tn ^ nmiwing the present law , and was delighted to hear that there "was do present intention of a change . Lord FitzwilliaH admitted that the present law was an improvement upon its predecessors , inasmuch as it in some degr » e approximated to a fixed doty . He supported the modon for a committee , and from the constant ? amtions to which the Com Lawa had been mb ; ecl from theii fiiBt institutions , and the constant disappointment and distress they had occasioned , drew , the conclusion that it would be ever so , until the true principles of commercial legislation wer e acted upon , and all artificial restrictions abolished .

      Lord Broeghsh contrasted the ability and the absence of party feeling with which the question had been brought before their Lordships with the spirit of factions injustice in which the concessions of last session—great in themselves , though , as he thought , insufficient—had been r *; Cfived by the League , and denounced in indignant terms the blind partisan violence which had led them to cavil at the carrying out even of their own principles . He defended himself from the calumnious imputation , that he had offered his services to the League , and explained the real character of the conversation "which had been thus grossly misrepresented . He exculpated the wore respectable members of the League from a connexion with this

      falsehood , as well as with the speech of the Dissenting minister who had hinted at assassination , but coruplained that they did not take pains to sever themselves from the pollution they must contract from such companionship . He supported the motion for the appointment of a Committee ; and after showing by the example ot the ye » rs in which the continental system was in full operation , and in spite of which there baii bttn an extensive importation , that the apprehensions of those who feared a dependence on the foreigner were unfounded , concluded by explaining , that although an advocate for free trade , he would not oppose the levying of a duty upon foreign produce for the purpose of revenue ; he objected only to the principle of protection .

      After a few words from Lord St Vincent and Lord MorMnSHit in opposition to the motion , Lord Monteagle replied , and tbeir Lordships , upon a division , dechnvd to appoint the proposed Committee by a majority of 122 .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tcksdat , March U . Mr . T . Dvscojibe stated , that he would postpone until this day fortnight the motion of which he had given notica for Thursday next , relative to the manner in which justice was administered by a purtion of thtmacistracy during the disturbances which took place last year in the manufacturing districts . Lord ASH LET gave notice of his intention to move on Tuesday , the 28 ' . h of March , the following resolution -. — " That it ia the opinion of this House that this continuance of the trade in opium , and the monopoly of its growth in the territories of British India , are desvructive of all relations of amity between England and Cbina , injurious to the manufacturing intcrettB of this country by the annihilation of legitimate commerce , and utterly inconsistent with the honour and duties of a Christian kingdom ; and that steps be takt-n as soon aa possible , with due regard to tbe rights of Governments and individuals , to abolish tbe evil . "

      Mr Ward moved for a Special Committee to inquire what peculiar burdens are borne , and what peculiar exemptions enjoyed , by the landed interest . He considered stability to be the great essential of any Corn Law ; and theru conld l » e no stability -without the ascertainment of the points to which this motion was directed . He did not believe that-any peculiar burdens were really borne by the landed classes ; on the contrary , he was persuaded that the peculiarity was all on the Bide of exemption to them ; but Be bad put his motion in its present shape that they might have an opportunity of making out tbeir case if they could He commented upon and disputed various general propositions in divers speeches of his opponents , particu larly denouncing an assertion ef Lord Stanley , that the

      general policy of this country required protection to land . He wonld admit the necessity for that special protection , if special burdens could be shown ; but he denied tbe existence of any such burdens ; for he ould not consider as special burdens the cogt of buildings and improvements , or the fluctuations ol prices , there being in every trade outgoings analagons to these . Nor was tbe Income-tax a peculiar burden on the land . But there were the poor-rates , the cmnty , highway , and church-rates , and the tithes . Now the value of house property was less than that of land ; yet house propwty paid more than half of tbe entire poor-rate . Land whs always gaining by every public improvement : thus he knew of a pariah where a railway , passing throngh , defrayed half of tbe rates for the poor . As to church-rates , the common argument used against the Dissenters , that they bought their land witb that incumbracBe , deserved to be remembered here , for it -was an argument fairly applicable to all burdens

      on ljrnJ . With respect to titbe it was not a burden but a co-proprietary right . That charge was not being borne by tbe rent , bnt having existed from time immemorial , independently of and collaterally to it . He then went into the history of the land-tax . At the Revolution it had been imposed at the rate of four shillings upon the value , as the value would be from time to time ; but at the present day it was still levied upon the low valuation which land bore one hundred and sixty years ago ; and in many parts of the country the levy did not reach to anything like four shillings , even upon that low valuation . If , however , the full four shilhngiwere actually levied , and this upon the real valnatinn , still the proportion borne by the land would not be larger than in most of the continental countries . Id the imposition of general taxes , tbe agriculturists ha . ; constantly contrived to get specialexemptioDS , as upon probate and legacy dntieB , and even the minor items of farm EervantB , husbandry horses , Bheep-dogs , and

      so on . Mr . G . Ba . vkes , though about to move an amendment on a snhject moT » interesting to tbe landed classes than the subj-ct of this motion , was fully prepared to meet the motion itself by a direct negative . To appoint a committee for the purpose now suggested would be peculiarly dangerous at this period of anxiety among the agriculturalists , by leading to the apprehension that Parliament was abont to derange them by still further interference- The object professed by the mover was to abolish all protections ; and , that being the case , why was this motion levelled against the agriculturists alone ? He defended himself from some attacks which were made upon him on a former night by Mr . Cebden , and which , on that night , the lateness

      of the hour and tbe interposed speech ol Sir R . Peel had prevented kim from answering . Mr . Cobden had then asserteo that the Dorsetshire labourers were paid at tbe lowest rate of weekly wages , and were the most ignorant , neglected , and miserable peasantry in all England . Mr , Bankes now read various letters showing the wages of the labourers on bis own estate to be ample , and their condition comfortable . The writers , he said , who were his tenants , bad sent him those letters in answer to inquiries which he had made without apprising them of the purpose for which he wanted their answers . They expressed their fears , however , that if the price of corn Bhould fall further , they sheuld not be able to continue the present remunerat'on . Some person , using Mi . Cobden ' B name as his authority , had lately visited every cottage in the qniet village in which he ( Mr . B 3 nkes ) resided , telling the cottagers how miserable they were , and leaving with each a packet from the Anti-Corn Law Leagno

      That visitor , be said , appeared to have reported tbe mere money wages of tbe labourers , omitting to state the allowances and advantages given to them in rentfree cottages and lands , wheat , fuel , and other articles . Mr . Uankes , after mentioning other particulars respecting the state of the poor ia his own neighbourhood , and tbe exertions which , as s landlord , he hod made for their benefit , and exposing the injustice of bis assailant in having made these charges against him without having ascertained them to be true , desired not to be understood , however , as expressing himsaif wholly satisfied with the condition of tbe Dorsetshire poo * ; on the contrary , he anxiously -wished and not without hope , for some improvement ia that condition It hid struck him with Borne surprise that , subsequent to the former debate , when large bodies of persons thought fit or necessary to congratulate the Hon . Member for Stoekport as to the figure which he had dto played in that House , and en the impression which he had made , that it was rather infelicitous that the flirt

      ground of congratulation to the Hon . Member was on his stern regard to justice —( laughter , and hear , hear . Was it , ba would ask , from a stern regard to justice that the Honourable Member proceeded to censure before he collected even the evidence ?—( hear , hear . ) Was such a proceeding consistent with any equitable or < Christian feeling , or was it a way in which the debates . should be carried on in that House , involving such serious churges against the characters of individuals ?— ' ( hear , hear . ) If such were tbe Honourable Member ' s i notions of a stern sense of justice , be ( Mr . Bankes ) hoped that it was a description of justice with '

      which he should n ^ t often be brought in contact . Hv flattered himself that he had now sufficiently disposed of rjl tbesu charges ; but there were still a few other points with respect to which h < 3 wished to make some observations . As for the line of conduct taken by the Hon . Member for Stoekport , who had been elected by a large constituency , and who was distinguished for bis eminent talent , he ( Mr . Bankes ) would only say that he felt called apon to give an answer to all tbe questions which applied to tbe situation of his property . There was one questiou which the Honourable Member , however , had put to him , which he did not think was altogether fair , he meant when the Honourable Member asked him what be iMr . B \ uka ) would say at the neit agricultural dloner at Blandford . In reply , however , he would obsorve that he could nut exactly tell , for the Honourable Member

      for Stoekport might be there himself . The Honourable Member bad said in his speech on the former occasion , that at the next dinner one black sheep would be thtre , and he had told the House what he would say . Now he ( Mr . Bankes ) would just state what he would say in answer , if the Honourable Gentleman did make his promised observation . The Honourable Member had alluded to what he said about the sun gilding the spire of the church , and the dome of tbe palace , and tbe thatch of the cottage ; and the Honourable Mcnifeer added , that the . black sheep he alluded to would get up and observe the chimney of the landlord . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , if he ( Mr . Bankes ) heard any such observation at that dinner from tbe Honourable Member , he would say yes , and the factory chimney too . — ilaughter , )—that tall , gawky , ugly chimney , which poured forth volumes of smoke—that chimney , to which might appropriately be applied the

      lines—•¦ Tbe * tasteless' column pointing to the skies , Like a tall bully lifts ; its head and lies . " tlaughter )—It might be bis ( Mr . Banke ' s ) duty as chairman of that dinner , to propose a health . He might have to say ho had to propose a toast in honour of a distinguished individual who was present , and who . was no personal friend of bis , but as he was the son of a farmer , and' was descended from a long line of Sussex yeomanry , he Came among them fu sheep ' s clothing —( laughter ) . The Hon . Member bad also said that he would put tbe agriculturists on their defence , and should call upon them to show tbe benefit which protection had conferred on agriculture- His answer was , that protection had brought thousands and thousands of acres into cultivation , which never could have

      taken place but for protection , and the labourers who tilled it , therefore , never could have beet * employed . The culture and enclosure of waste land had been going on rapidly for years , nntil tbe present check was put upon it , and until means were found of inspiriting the agriculturists a stop would be put to its progressthear , hear ) . He recollected travelling from his father ' s house to London , which was about 100 miles , at a time wbvn there was 40 miles of waste land to be seen , and now there waa nut 10 miles —( bear ) . Nj land could have formerly looked more unpromising and more hopeless than this land in Dorsetshire , Hampshire , and Surrey , but in travelling this road now , it would be seen that villages had sprung up , and thousands of husbandmen were employed on it—( hear , hear ) .

      If the Honourable Member had been in Dorsetshire , he must have been much struck with surpise at the desolate state of some of the land on the entrance of that county , but it was not worse than much of that now under profitable cultivation . In the union in which he lived he knew that a few weeks ago there was not a single able-bodied labourer on the rates , and this was the effect of the enclosure of waste lands , which it was the object of the Hon . Member for Sheffield ^ motion to put a stop to . To-morrow iii ^ ht that dangerous body the ami-Corn Law League were to remove to a larger scale of aaitauon , and were to appear at the first theatre of tbe town . On that occasion the Honourable Member for Stoekport was to take his benefit , and was to be

      the lion ot the show He wished to call the attnntion of the Chancellor iof the Etchequer to the money collected by this body . He should like to know where it was lodged —( laughter)—as it would enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer o apply for the Income Tax— ( laughter ) . — Phpy were told that this year the fund collected was , € 50 , 000 and next year it would be £ 100 , 000 , which , a ken at the medium of the two years would give X 75 , ( -O 0 to be rated to the tax . With respect to associations generally , he would not give any opinion of his own , but would refer to some expressions which be found on the subject in a debate which took place in 1825 . The first quotation was—^! The House would bear in mind that this association , though a

      public body , differed from most public meetings in this point—that they were all of one mind . There was no competition of opinion ; no opposing voice vva- ; heard . Every speech was previously arranged , and every decision was unanimous . Indeed , if any unhappy adversary had the hardihood to present himself , be would most probably get a reception which would prevent any repetition . Formed as such a body was , there was a danger in the indefinite duration . Under different circumstances the fickleuess of the multitude might operate as a check to ihe probable evil results ef such an association ; but he was compelled , with regret , to say , that a most influential body , whose duty it waa to impart religious consolation , and to keep themselves apart

      from political contention , not only encouraged , but I assumed a part of its power . Next , in upholding that association were to be found men of disappointed ambition and considerable talents , who exerted themselves , no matter whether on real or imaginary grievances , in exciting the public feeling against the government ; and in infiapiiig the population against the laws , and -what they described a prodigal and corrupt administration of them . " And again , subsequently was the following passage : — "Now , he thought that no man who understood the constitution of the country , could contemplate the levying of money upon his Majesty ' s subjects by an irresponsible body , to be applied to objects not pre-, viously defined , but at the discretion of the self- ' constituted authority by which such money was called for , with any other feeling than that of uue- quivooal disapprobation . " ThiB waa the language ; of his Right Honourable Friend the present

      Chancellor of the Exchequer , in introducing the bill , against illegal associations in Ireland . The next opinion he should quote w&b that of the Right Hon . Baronet now at the head of the government . " He , would first notice an argument that had been made use of , in the course of this discussion , bv an Hon . member , the effect of which if it were weB founded , ; would be to take away from government , or from Parliament rather , all right of interference in the j case of Associations that might be deemed illegal . The Honourable Gentleman had expressly said , ' he would not vindicate the acts of tb , e Catholic Association ; he thought them io be , ia many respects , indefensible , and he could not stand forward as their , advocate / But still the Honourable Gentlemva conceived , that the handB of the House were tied up—that these people laboured nnder such a grievance , as took from the House all light of interference with their proceedings ; those proceedings being admitted , by title Honourable Geutle . man him-

      self , to bo indefensible . Why , if this were so , there wa 3 an end ot all their deliberatn / ns in that House on . this or any other subject . If that doctrine was , to prevail , it must follow Jhat the subjects of this country , if they should imagine theraseJ ^ ee to be Buffering under a grievance of this jor any other kind , might resort to unconstitutional measures for their redress ; which measures , however Parliament could not interpose to > check , utzSii those grievances should have been Best removed , Now , he maintained , that from the rsornent ParEament recognised such a doctrine as this ; they would abdicate their legislative functions altogether . It seemed necessary to approach this argument in tiho first place , before he proceeded to aray " other

      observations ; for if the principle were once accepted where was its application to terminate ? Where were thesa associations to end ? T&ere were maiy ? persons who considered the representation of the people in Parliament to be so bad and inoii > ert'ect , that a large poriion of the people were deprived of their rights . Now , that might be considered a grievance , and a grievance of a very heavy kind y and , if thb a ^ ument he bad alludod to waq to be admitted , why might not the country expect an association for the purpose of obtaining Parliamentary Reform —( cries of " hear , hear" ) I What would be the consequence of such a system he knew not ; buthcealled upon the Hon . Grentlemen , who expressed by their cheess their willingness to have such associations ! that if they

      admitted the principle in one case , they must expect associations for the removal of every real ov supposed grievance ; and if Parliament should afterwards think of putting an eud to them , the answer would be , that the subjects of the country , and not its legislature , were tho proper judges of those grievances , and of the propriety of th « measures to- be taken to redreas them . That , however ; , wa 3 not his reading of tho law . He conceived Parliament to be the sole constitutional judge of these matters , and if the Parliament fchonj » h . t a law ought to ; be continued , those who fancied themselves aKgrie 7 edby it must not resort to unconstitutional measures to-procure its abolition . They might petition , they might represent their grievances to Parliament , and theis ; petitions and

      representations would be taken into consideration ; . but Parliament would abandon its duty , if it allowed any body of men to act independently of its authority , and only according to their own free pleasure . ' ^ These were the words of the Right Honourable Member for Tamworth in 1825 , and * they exactly described the association now in question . The Noble Member for Sunderland cheered ; in reference , perhaps , to the circumstance that th « association thus censured by Parliament , in 1825 , did in the end succeed . ( Hear , hear . ) lie would beg , then , to recall the recollection of the House to another association , which did not succeed in the end , though it produced great excitement and popular commotion in its progress . That

      association was a Protestant Association , ' formed on principles intended to be entirely in conformity with the law , and by men of respectability , of good talent ? , and Ol hOuest intentions . Of this association , Lord George Gordon was chosen to bo the ] head , for the sake of the weight which his excellent private character would give to any association with whieh he was connected , he being , to use the words of Lord ( at that time Mr . ) Kenyon , " a man of blameless life and conversation , not mixing in th . 6 vices of the age ; a man irreproachable in hid moral and religious conduct . "' It was not necessary for him ( Mr . Bankes ) to relate the transactions which followed , in connection with this Association , in the year 1780 ; he would only

      observe , that though its Members had meetings in all tho large halls in tho metropolis , it never occurred to them to hire Drurylane Theatre for their purposes . On the day before their petition was presented to the house , they assembled in St . George ' sfields , to consider of the most prudent and proper manner in which to attend its presentation ; and Honourable Gentlemen were aware , that on the day it was presented , hardly any Member who was present in the House thought he should leave the Housje alive ; indeed , the only public man who showed real courage on the occasion was the Sovereign , whom the anti-Corn Law League described in one of their papers as " Stupid George the Third ; " The anti-Corn Law League waa pursuing the same course

      I now , which had been pursued by the Association of ' 177 H in its outset ; meeting in large rooms and col-. leoung petitions to be bronght with ? great effect ' before the House ; but the present Association was certainly going much beyond that of ; 1773 , in thus announcing a public meeting in a public theatre—( hear , hear , hear ) . He ( Mr . Bankes ) would . put it to tho House and to the Govemi ment , whether this was not a subject fit for the i consideration of Parliament , seeing , ; as they did , I that from day to day sumo new attempt was made ,

      some new experiment for getting up public interest and public excitement—( hear , hear ) Public excitement was what the League professedly and publicly desired ; their complaint was , that hitherto I they had not been able to produse this excitement , I and , accordingly , first one scheme andi then another ' was resorted to , and now they were about to try a i public theatre . One thing was quite certain , that j until they had produced it , they would not come I before the House practically with a proposition as to i tho corn laws—( hear , hear . ) It was the absence of j the required excitement that had occasioned the \ postponement of the Hon . Member for Dumfries ' j notice—( bear , hear , )—it was this that had caused

      I the postponement of the Hon . Member for Wolveri hauiptOH ' a motion on the corn laws ; for the League I were conscious that at this moment there was no feel-( ing in unison with theirs throughout the metropolis , and very little throughout the country at large . j He could not refrain from humbly submitting to his I Right Honourable Friends that this was a matter not unworthy of their consideration , and as far as regarded the subject publicly , he was quite content to leave it entirely to their opiaion . As to matters affecting those who , like himself , desired to live quietly aud gafely among their tenantry in th « coun-, try , the ministry had not the power of knowing , as I he and other gentlemen in the country had , the 1 enormous extent of mischief which might be

      produced—which was attempted to be produced , at this i present time , by the emissaries of this League—> ( hear , hear ) . He did not complain that the emisi saries of this League , in his own neighbourhood , , had endeavoured to shake any influence he might I have there , or taken steps to prevent , if possible , his future return . Ho carad not : for that , and he would further tell the Honourable 1 Member for Stoekport , that if he could influence 1 public opinion against gentlemen who differed from him , there was no scat so much in danger as his ( Mr . Bankes' ) own ; for his seat depended entirely on public opinion , and he desired to retain it only so long as public opinion went with him . >( Hear , hear . ) He had no reason for any ministerial support in the county which he represented ; but he looked to Ministers for the peace of his private life—for the comfort , happiness , and welfare of the peasantry who lived around him . Ho looked to them to drive

      away , by some means or other , this new mode of sending emissaries throughout the country , paid emissaries ; for such were avowed and boasted of by the Hon . Member for Stoekport ( hear , hear ) . It was of this he complained ; and it was from this he entreated the Government to protect the country ; as one of their fellow citizens , as afaithful and dutiful subject of the Crown , he asked , he besought , he demanded this at the hands of her Majesty ' s Ministers . The Hou . Gentleman concluded by moving the following amendment : " That it is expedient , as a remedy for a state of anxiety embarrassing and unfair to the agriculturists , and injurious to commerce , that the attention si this House be directed to tbe continued existence- af associations , which , in matters affecting agriculture sad commerce , pretend to influence the deliberations of ihe Legislature , anl which , by their combination and by their proceedings , are at once dangerous to the public peace and inconsistent with the SMxit of thfi Constitution . "

      The original mot ' iwa , as well aa \ foQ anieni 3 m £ nA , having been put from tbe Chair , Mr . Coiidmn said , that wb . ee , he stated the wages given on Mr . BaaJt ' s estate , ho did noi mean to tax that gentleman with paying ts . his labourers less than other people ; bat he charged as the vi « e of the system upheld by Mr . Banfees . * and others , that it prevented the possibility of \ rell providing for the poor . He wanted t » know , not what was paid to particulai labourers in Dorsetshire , bat what was [ the average ol tbeir remuattration throughout the county . Even « o Mr . Banke ' s o ? n estate in the isle of Purbeck , there were cottages bo miserable , that medical men had denounced tfeam as actual causes of disease . Throughout thai coo , ity one person in every seven of the whole population was a pauper .

      M * . V . ykeham Marti * showed the large propor tion of legacy and probate dnty born ^ by the la-d He co ' . reeled some statements of the mover respect ing t ' ue history of the land-tax ; and reminded th < Hou a « , that when that tax waa settled by the act o W illiam and Mary , the charge was made to affect no ' and alone , but money , goods , debts ] aud stock o every kind , and waa in truth very much like an in come-tax . In our times , however , all theae othe kinds of property had ceased to contribute to th land-tax , and the assessment waa now left wholly e : the land . Gentlemen who insisted ! on the heav charge borne by the whole community for the sak of the landed class , should remember how large

Coventry ; complained of the , ad- j vantages enjoyrd by the rich under tne present system j of taxation . Tiie amount of the stamp duties was not

      progressive in proportion to the value of the transactions on which those duties were imposed . A mortgage for £ 300 . 000 paid only on a duty of £ 25 ; whereas , if it were taxed in proportion tosmaler transactions , it would pay a duty of £ 5 , 000 . Tithes were no burden on land . If tbe voluntary system were introduced tomorrow , the landlord would not get 6 d . of their value into his rents . The great bulk of the taxe 3 was paid by the working and middle classes . The poor were taxed for the articles of their consumption in a much greater proportion than the rich ; and the taxes so paid by poor men were spent in salaries to placemen , tbe connexions of tbe aristocracy .

      Mr . WOODUOU&e . quoted tabular returns , to prova the much greater amount of taxation borne by the landed than by tbe commercial interest ; and to show that seven persons in every nine are dependent upon agriculture . Mr . CothraiVe made an animated attack on thff Lt-a s ^ aK , whose orgaoizition he considered highly dangerous to the public peace . They professed to seek equality ; but it wonld be eqoslity of wretchedness . ^*" Tte reaf cause of the evils they complained of were overproduction and the advance of machinery He appealed to the H » use irt favour « f the classes wb » ha 1 always raTlied round t £ » Crown and constitution .

      Mr . Gicson hoped the House wsuld not unffar an amendment , attacking men ' * characters , to be withdrawn withonc a vo £ e marfein ^ f their general sense upon it . Much was 8 ; itd of tbe Antj-Corn Low League ; did no corn law leagues exist ? Had the couatry gentlemen never countenanced proposals Jbr robbiag- the public creditor ? Sada projects were going on even now . A Mr . Brown , the Honorary secretary to a central soaiefcy for the protection of agriculture ; had written to the Eeague so lately acl 83 f ) , to propoce that the League

      should cense to agitate against the corn law , and join to procare an issue of bank paper , which would hare beta nothing less than a robbery of tho public creditor ; Tfca landed interest , by voting for Sir R . ?

Peel of abettinx it .

      Sir B . Peel agreed that Mr . TV * 3 rd bad a right toa separate vote on his motion . He should first nega * ti ? a . though the forms of the House woald make th » negation ; ui indirect one , thtf amendment of Mr . Bankesj because he thought it an inapplicable amendment a » raised upca this mosion , anC'because he thought : it inexpedient io proceed on such a subject » 3 the suppression of theae societies by v ? ay of abstract resolution . Where the existing law is Eotfieient , the House may address the-Crown to execute it , though this may imply a cansure on the Ministers ; . if , on the Other hand ,, the existing law is defective , the House may proceed by w . iy of leg : s ! ative remedy . To the original motion he should likewise offer his resistance . Mr . Gibson

      had most uafairly taunted the landed cLisaaa with , haviDg admitted themselves , by their support of tha new Corn Lavr , to have been pre- ? ioi * sly defrauding the public . What would Mr . Gibson have said if the same taunt had been thrown upon tbe manufacturers iu consequence of their declaration , just now made through Mr . © ibson himself , of their willingness fcoabolish their own protections ? He strongly denied tbe charge of havi 3 g ever sneered at the manufacturing interest , which wou-ld have ill becoaie him . either in his- political or in hia personal capacity . Though ha should object to a committee , he should not , on any consideration whatever , objeofc to returns on the subject for which such a Comniivtea -was- proposed . It

      hud been alleged thut the laud was altogether exempt from probate a » d legacy duty ; the law Was not SO the land bore a . great portion of both theas duties : let a return of tbe amount of these duties , and of theduties on conveyances , be called for , : uid then the-Huuse would see whether tbe land enjoyed the exemptions alleged in these particulars . So with respect to other taxes , from which the land had been erroneously represented to be exempt . The profits of stock had lately been relieved from poor-rateB , aad the land bad been left to make up the difference ; let all this be seen from returns to be printed for the House . It bad been said that the highways kept up by the land were necessary for the transport of its own produce ;

      but w ^ re not the highways equally useful to those who had no land at a !) ? Then , as to tithe . Tithe fixed by the way of commutation was less a burden on land than variable tithe , but both were burdens . For his own part , he had never rested the defence of protection on the mere difference of bur decs . He had grounded himself in great measure on the considerations of general benefit , and of the dangers that must arise from a rash destruction of existing interests , BO vast in amount as those of , and connected witb , the landed clashes . He had never applied the general principle of buying cheap and selling {' ear , without this qualification of it Even if a conimit-ee were granted , the

      mover , whatever might be its result , would no doubt be prepared to vote the very next day for a repeal of the Corn Laws ; : and if that wpre carried , the subsequent equalizition of burdens would be left to take its chance . So complicated a subject might occupy a committee for a twelvemonth . He would not , after the arrangement of List year , consent to hold out an idea that he was prepared to concur in a farther change , the necessity of which he did not discern . Believing , as ho did , that the arrangement waa a- prodent one , he theught it his duty to stand by it , unless he could ba convinced , which he was- not , that the circumstances of the country required a- departure from it .

      Lord Howick wanted to have the balance struck between the burdens on one side and on tbe other ; aud if after that the greater weight should be found topresa upon tbe laud , he Would say equalz « it , but still in some other way than by a . corn law . If the subject were se complicated that it would occupy a committee for a twelvemonth , bow could Sir K . Feel think of " recommending it aa a matter to be considered by- the whole House upon printed returns ? Lord Hewick then entered into the effects of tithe as a burden on

      land before and since the Commutation Act , contending that since that act thy tithe was a burden on the land no longer . He gave no credit to the argument about maintaining the present settlement ; it waa- clear that tbe existing law -would not Burvive even another rotation of crops ; and it would be best for the agriculturists themselves that the intermediate uncertainty should be determined . He admitted the- evil of the anti-Corn Law League ; but it was an evil attributable to the present state of tbe law .

      Mr . Blackstone , as one of the committee of the Society for the Protection of Agriculture , positively stated that the Mr . Brown whose letter Mr . Gibson bad quoted bad nev r b « en , though he had attempted to intrude nimself . aa the secretary to that society . After some further conversation about the supposed Secretary to the Agricultural Society , Mr . BROWEK . T 0 H moved an adjournment , which , however , he did not press to a division . Mr . Villiers stated , that an agricultural society in the country had sent delegates some years since , when corn was low , to a general meeting of agriculturists in London , with instructions worded in strong terms , respecting tbe inutility of mere petitioning , the expediency of stopping the supplies , and the necessity oS a change in the currency . He would , therefore , ask tike proposer of the amendment to look at home .
