MONDAY , May 13 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —On LV > rdBEOTOHAM present a lotion from Unirersity College , upon ^ feiftS ^^ ed tbat . hasttte OTiwreitics were anxious , to , introduce every requisite improvement , that which they could not do was to repeal the statutes by which they were governed . He hoped that no proceedings would be taken
which would Lave toe enecc ot iomng some ot tne most re spectable , faithful , and loyal of her Majesty ' s servants to choose between their duty of obedience to her Majesty ' s commands and their duty with respect to the execution of the law . A conversation on the Greek question arose , but { he final consideration on the subject was postponed until all the papers were before Parliament . The Distressed Unions Advances ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time , and the house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Australian Colonies Goversuest Bill —On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill , Mr . W . Gladstone rose to move , as an amendment , the following resolution : — " That this house , adverting to the numerous provisions of the Australian Colonies Government Bill , which require the interference of the authorities at home in the fntntare regulation of the affairs of those colonies , and . desirou 3 to reduce as far as possible the occasions for such interference , and to place the political institutions of the said colonies -upon the bhsis most likely to be permanent , will not give its further sanction to that bill until there shall have been afforded to the governors , legislatures , and people of the said colonies an opportunity of considering
the provisions of the measure as they stand , in conjunction with the several proposals varying from them which hare been submitted to the notice of the house . " He said that this could by no possibility be a final measnre , or satisfy thecolonists , and that in the case of New South Wales especially ; which held two-thirds of those affected by the measure , we were not only narrowing the franchise ( excluding the great capitalists of the colony on the one baud , and the newly arrived respectable emigrants on the other ) , but were letting in the element of convict representation , which would tend to the worst form of oligarchy . He then assailed the absurdity of allowing those colonies in which no representation really existed to alter die franchise , while that right
was refused to New South Wales where a represen tative body had been created . On the ground that this measnre would mischievously impair and restrict the privileges of the colonists , he should endeavour to delay it , and he should urgeupon the house such postponement as would enable it to give the colonies a well-considered bill . ¦ ¦ Mr . Roebuck assented to , and seconded the , proposal for delay . He described the bill as crude , inennsistent , and mischievous , and also as an evidence of Lord Grey ' s desire to shirk h s duties . He protested against the housebecoming a registering body , to confirm and enrol the acts of minutes ; Mr . Hawes accused Mr . Gladstone of opening up
every topic and principle of colonial government , instead of taking the more direct course of moving the tliri reading that day six months . He described it as a mockery to propose to send out the bill , loaded with amendments and substituted , clausesj to four colonies , and ask four governors to return reports on which , practical legislation could be founded . Such a proposal had never been submitted to a House of Commons . He said that the decision oa the bill was to settle the question whether England should have colonies ornot . He defended the provisions of the Bill , declaring that it did adopt existing institutions , and denying that it was in reality objected to by the colonists . . . . ¦
_ Mr . ' Evelth Denison said that the bill was wrong in much that it provided , and wrong in much that it omitted ; wrong in the form of constitution it granted —wrong in Ihe federal assembly it prbvided-ani wrong in withholding from the colonists the managem ? nt of their own affinrsi It was especially wrong as regarded the case of the waste lands of the colonies . On this latter point he had an amendment on the paper , but he should at thig moment promise only his support to Mr . Gladstone ' s amendment . •¦¦¦• Afterfnrther discussion the house'divided , and the numbers were— ¦
For the originalclause 226 For the amendment J 23 Majority against Mr , Gladstone . * . 88 Several Other amendments having been made and negatived the bill was read a third timcaud passed The House tnen . went into committee on the Stamp Duties Acts , and agreed to a resolution on winch to found a lull .-Sir Henry Wllotjghhi asked for some " explanations from the Chancellor of the Exchequer He was willing to let by-gones be by- « rones , but he should like a statement which would show the house in detailhowthe antici pated loss of £ 300 , 000 ¦ waste arise . _ The Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was impossible by anticipation satisfactorily to apportion the losses of each department .
After some conversation the house resumed . The house went into committeep-o / ormaonthe Factories Bill , in order to withdraw the clauses proposed by lord Ashley , and to substitute those proposed by Sir George Grey . Colonel Sibthorp hated wishy-washy compromises , and hoped to hear that Lord Ashley adhered to his original plan . ' . _ lord Toes Manners urged upon Ministers the importance of bringing in the bill as early as possible , as the agitation occasioned much excitement in the country . Sir GeobgkGret assented to the observation , and proposed to fix an early day for the discussion . The house then adjourned .
TUESDAY , Mat 14 . HOUSE OF LOItDS . -Lord Porihan moved for the appointment of a committee on the state of the law affecting parochial assessments ; with the object of having an uniformity of rating . The Marquis of Lansdowxe stating that the Government had no objection to the committee , the motion was agreed to . The noble Marquis gave notice . that on Friday fie Bhould move that the houseat its risin < r * do ad-] oura till the Monday after Whitsuu week .

Prefacing l £ Klin F | £ ^^ agricultural interest that he would show them their position , and what they had to expect , he observed'that although at the opening of parliament mention of agricultural distress had been omitted from the speech from the Throne , and the complaints of the interest had been treated with contempt , while the landowners were insultingly told that they were raising the cry only to maintain their rents ; the ^ Premier had at last admitted that such distress really existed . At last , that was to say when wheat on the average waa at
£ 10 a load , and the importations continued to in . crease . Then , oy way . of relief , when the agriculturists asked for bread , the Ministry : gave them tricks . Landlords were told to reduce reats , but fie contended that no such reduction could diminbh the distress ; and if it would , no government had a right to ask a sacrifice from private persons to re-X ^ tiHsnun caused by publielegislation .

He stated that the prices of agricultural produce had declined from January to April 1850 , and the trifling rise now was a mere casualty . Wages were' wretchedly low —in some counties six shillings a week—and after harvest matters would be far worse . He complained of the stress that had been laid upon the hasty expressions of a few agriculturists who were suffering under their unparalleled grievances , while the Orlando-Furioso orators of free trade were allowed to
go about the-country , calling the farmers " oxen " and « cowards , " and all kinds of opprobrious epithets .: After reading a variety o ? documents in proofof the distress of ; the agriculturists , he said that the experiment of free trade must now cease , and protection must be granted to loyal men , who Vere always ready to form a constitutional force ; to Vhieh the owners of mills and factories were glad to appeal when their own men rebelled against them ' . * ne Ministry used unconstitutional means to force atomies , and compelled men to-vote against their eonwMttcea-but if . injustice were still to be inw 2 ifL ? . 011 a manner ,.

than under too old Corn . liaw before he couldconsent ioV Consideration o ^ former had , ahdcould afford , a time both of fiieh andlowprices . . v ; , ;•; b " ' Colonel SiBinoRP . said that he was bound " to vote for the motion , although ' he had . no . idea'that'it would be carried . He had no hopes from the present Parliament , and looked anxiously to . a dissolution . ^ As for the Free-tradera , they " were ' sheep in wolves ' clothing . " " . ' ... . .. ¦ Mr . Plbmpirb said that the agricuUurists were very hardly treated , and were insulted by one party with prophecies that never would be ' accomplished
while another party seemed to have taken for their motto " Success to manufactures , and perish agriculture . " He should support the motion . . . Mr . Suney said that the agricultural interest was more heavily taxed than other interest ; and to the amount of the excess , when ascertained he thought that interest entitled to relief . It would ' have been better to maintain a low fixed duty iu compensation for this excess , but as matters had been thus far setttled , tho free-trade experiment ought to be tried through , although he was by no means sanguine as to its success .
The Marquis of Grasby . said that there was an obvious . reaction throughput the country against free-trade , and that re-action was occasioned by a severity of distress which extended to all classes . He read extracts from the letters in the Hornino Chronicle upon the state of Ireland , in evidence of the wretchedness there , and he also cited statements which appeared in this journal , showing the impossibility offindingemployment forthe needlewomen . Agricultural wages in the southaridmiddle of England had , in some instances , fallen as low as 4 s . Gd . a week , and corn throughout the country , was shown . on the 4 th instant to-be at dfos Oil ,, while the manufacturer was feeling the home maraet—hi 3 bestresoiirce—gradually slipping a-W worn before him . . The whole nation would therefore , erelong , pronounce upon the free-trade experiment .
Sir B . Hall taunted the Protectionists with going about the country , ' deluding the poor farmers into the belief that great things were ^ to be done for them , and then coming to that house and doing nothing . This kind of farce ( which he compared to the proceedings of the Irish Repeal party ) had been going on for three years , and that every night when tho discuftsion commenced the Protectionists could muster twenty-seven members only . That was not the way to carry a measure , or force on a line of policy . J Mr . W . Miles said that the taunt was unmerited ; that he and his party knew perfectly well that the present Parliament was in favqur . of free-trade , but a re-action was . coming , the manufacturers' home trade was falling off , and' when the desirable effect in altering the state of parties in that house had taken place , the Free-traders might be certain that he and his friends would assuredly propose a recurrence to the old system ; , . ,
Mr . Mitchell said , that thebest proof that wages had not fallen ^ was , that the consumption , of bread had increased by one-third . , The operative population' "was" icubetter circumstances than ever ; and even , the . farmers were , in . the present state of prices , better off with wheat at 45 s ., than some years ago with if at 60 s . But he would state that the former price was what . the . farmer ought to . hare , and gentlemen who advised him to sell lower , were inducing him to sacrifice his property . He then addressed himself to . Mr . Sandars ' . recent statements as to the price at which he had . imported foreign corn , and described the cheap wheat alleged to be Pomeranian by . that gentleman was bad Silesian , and that on the day it arrived in England , it was 5 s . below good English wheat , and 7 s . below red Rostock .. "; . -..
Mr . Sandars accused Mr . Mitchell of ignorance upon the subject of corn , doubted whether he would know one variety of foreign wheat from another if it were laid before him , and denied that he had produced , or tried to produce , any erroneons impression upon the honse . or . upon the farmers by his statement as to tho . wheat . in question , the quality of which he . defended . Ee tread agreat number of statistical details in support of his theory as to our probable dependence on foreigners for the supply of food . . .. ...
Mr . Wilson entered . upon an examination of the last speaker ' s figures , and charged him with calculating from theJowest fluctuation ^ inste ad of from averages . The present period of ; prices was an exceptional time , and the last three months afforded no fair criterion . But , even now , the prices at all the continental ports were rising , while , in England the coHwnspe < : tor > report showed that , at Canterbury , wheat had nsen within the last four weeks from 38 s . < d . to 40 s ., and in Berkshire from 40 s . to Ms . But he would look at the general bearing of the free trade system ; and : it was matter of congratulation that although ,, as yet , Vthero did not exist that universal prosperity which could be desired , what suffering there was chiefly fell ut > on the
neiptul middle , and not upontho helpless working classes ^ . whereas , in 1849 , there were 784 , 000 outdoor paupers , and 043 , 000 paupers in all , there were , in 1850 , but 748 , 000 out-door , and 809 , 000 in all . And the suffering was by no means confined to the agricultural classes , for the residents'in great towns shared it . It was , he contended , absurd to charge , the distress which existed upon free trade , for it arose from other great causes , the chief of which was . the condition of the railway system . In 1848 we had 147 , 000 men employed on railway lines , and . now we had but 45 , 000 , which showed . 100 , 000 idle workmen . As regarded other classes , there was , in 1846 , the sum of £ 51 , 000 , 000 invested _ m . railways , bringing an income of
i 2 , 70 U , 000 ; while , in 1850 , there was £ 102 , 000 , 000 so uive 3 ted ,. brmging an income of but £ 2 , 500 , 000 ; showing that fifty-one millions of money had been sunk ., ¦ ; , . ..... . . . " ^ HBRRiKs . said , that although the last speaker , in his elaborate calculations , had evaded the result at which he ( Mr . Herries ) arrived , : he had been unable , to deny point blank that ' free trade was in a great measure the . cause of the suffering he admitted . ^ Bfimarking . upon the opinions Lord John Russell formerly held as to the expediency of an 8 s . duty , and as to" 50 s . beingafair remunerating price to the . farmer ,, he declared himself at a loss to reconcile with these opinions his lordship's reply to the deputation which had recently addressed him
on behalf , of protection . He professed himself shocked at hearingthe term " experiment" applied to therecent legislation ,, as he had not been informed , at the time that legislation was in contemplation , that it was an experiment , but supposed it was a course upon the necessity and wisdom of which the government had decided on Conviction . He appealed , however , to Ministers to admit that they were disappointed with the ^ result of that experiment , i Passing to the terms of themotion , he said that he : was convinced that a - moder « ate fixed duty , which would •; be most acceptable to the farmer , because if would circumscribe comnetitioh * ^ I 1 ^ 3 ^ POrtationk' ordinary years , and t ^ . ^ . - ? ^ :- m . "p other interests would not operate tothe
materially increasing the price of posed to them ; and ho warned themthat they would need le support of that' loyal body S their own " domestic opposition" which was always turning against them on some question or other , should finally rebel against them ¦ The Chanckllor of the Exche ( juer was glad that this motion had been brought on , because discussion was far better conducted in that house than by deputations and manifestos . He rejoiced ; also , at finding that the opposition had been " ¦ brought to something definite , and that Lord , Stanley had at ength boldly-unfurled the atandard . ' of nrntonHo ^
l-Uud and significant Opposition cheering V The advocates of two lines of policy were now fairly ^ at -issue , and he would ¦ therefore Z dare for himself and hia colleagues , that though they ^ beheved that no ^ arliament which couldlo got together would reverse our recent legislative policy , be ttat . asit . nnght ; by ' that " policy , th ^ would stand or . fall . TVBile ^ disclaiming ah / idea of msulting the agricultural interest ; He ^ Ould equally disclaim any thought of encouraging In that body a delusive hope that there was any misgiving on the part of government as to the wisdom or value of the free , trade policy of the country . In reference to the motion , he then proceeded to deny the fact that there was any general distress in tne
country , and wished to establish its non-exiattencefrom facts , not by counter-aBsertion . ' With this view , he recapitulated the points of Mri Wilson's speech , reiterating that gentleman ' s arguments , and then went on to adduce evidence of his own , taken « rom the statistics of poor-law relief , of crime , of revenue , and of exports .

tho'Exchequer , for the sako of giving : thenhousoi a somewhat more , accurate idea-of the , policy > of the Protectionist party than had yet been presented to it . Answering ^ ir Benjamin Hall's taunt about the "twenty-seven , " he , pointed , to . the , now densely crowded'benches , but said that l ( ad the house been aware that it was to be favoured with Sir B . Hall ' s eloquence ,, the seats would have been as ; completely filled at an early hour . He accused the Chancellor of the Exchequer with repeating not only ' his own speech on the first day of the session , but Mri Wilson ' s of that night . For himself , - he ' shfiuld not have recommended this motion ( which had icome rather
unexpectedly upon him ) , because , it was partial in its terras , and referredtoone class only ; whereas he should have framed it so as . to demand : inquiry into the condition of ¦ ¦ eyeiy : suffering class ; He would , however , endeavour . to give an . ideaof j whiit he understood by protection .: Xo tax , a community for the advantage of a class was not protection , bnt plunder . ' What he and hisparty desired was legislation founded on the wiso legislation of 1842 , ; and upon the mistakes of 1846 . He . was for ^ reciprocity with foreign nations , but for real reciprocity ; and lie would enact that their products should not come into our ports duty free when our products were met by hostile . tariffs . As regarded the particular
article of agricultural produce ,, ; he wished ! that placed upon a fair basis for tho reciprocal tprocess '; and as at present agriculture bore heavy and exclusive burdens , he would ask that : it should' either be compensated by a duty of 7 s . or . 83 ., or , which he much preferred , by a due adjustmentof those burdens , and of taxation . He thought that we were , quitoiwrong , in reducing Customs . duties ; . which were not odious to the English , instead of attacking Excise , which they hated . Under all circumstances , he should support the motion , which , to a certain extent , pointed in a right , direction . ¦¦ : ¦ . ' ,. , Mr . Cobdbn said that Mr . Disraeli ' s party did not seem to like the dangerous position which hadbeen
taken up by their leader . As to the -remitting agricultural taxes , Mr . Disraeliand his friends were disagreed , for at their last ; meeting they had de-. clared that they would not be bribed from demand : ing protection by any remission which could be proposed to them . All the trouble and time which had that night been devoted to tho question of the price of corn had been utterly * wasted ; for - ' ' tbi real price of corn was the price it fetched in the world ' s market , and at that price the labourer had ' n right to buy . it ; He declared that he had new regarded free trade as an experimeht . ' rior did ' the country so
regard it . He re-asserted , that free ; trade was working most fortunately ; - "He commented lupon the hel p less kind : of advice given by * the leaders ' of protection to the farmers ; namely / , to wait passively for a dissolution , for by the timo 'it arrived they would be _ completely ruined if theirown ^ predictions were verified .
