In the last session of Parliament, Mr Courtenay, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, represented that he would examine the operation of the new system on the Silk Trade, &c. with a mind rendered as free from preconceived opinions as a sheet of blank paper. He, however, took care to intimate at the same moment, that he was a member of the Free-trade sect. Mr Vesey Fitzgerald, the President of the Board of Trade, exhibited similar conduct. While this was the case with them, Mr Goulbourn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, warned Parliament against inferring from the language of Mr Courtenay, that any change of system was intended; and assured it, that Ministers only required time to give proofs of their devotion to Free Trade. The Duke of Wellington and Mr Peel likewise declared it to be their intention to take the path of Mr Huskisson.

These uncouth and irreconcilable differences rendered it sufficiently obvious that the professions of the Boardof-Trade Ministers were not of the smallest value. We were fully convinced at the time, that no examination of the kind named by Mr Courtenay was intended. This gentleman possibly spoke in sincerity; we cannot assert that he did not; but that his superiors prompted or permitted him so to speak, solely for purposes of public delusion, is a matter on which we have no doubt whatever. The two speeches he has delivered in the present session, might almost justify the suspicion that he has been strictly VOL. XXV.

prohibited from acquiring the least knowledge touching the Silk Trade; for they certainly display an absence of such knowledge alike perfect and extraordinary. Mr Fitzgerald's speech abundantly warrants the opinion that Government has never looked at the state of the trade with the intention of doing any thing beyond completing what Mr Huskisson commenced.

The distress which prevailed to a large extent in the Silk Trade in the last session, continued to increase, and at the commencement of the present one, it had risen to a magnitude perfectly appalling. Mr Fyler made his motion in the House of Commons for a committee to enquire into its causes under these circumstances. Three years ago, the trade was deprived of its monopoly over the home market-the only market it possessed-and ever since it has been in great suffering. At the beginning of the term it was overwhelmed with bankruptcy and want; for somewhat more than a year it revived a little, but its revival would not allow profits to the masters, or a sufficiency of necessaries to the workmen; and then it again sunk into the extreme of wretchedness. During this term several millions of capital were lost in it, and numbers of the manufacturers were utterly ruined. At the moment when the motion was made, half a million of people engaged in it were struggling with loss, ruin, hunger, and nakedness.

Its members, who were necessarily much better acquainted with the working of the change of system, and the 3 Q
