r "-:~ . I , ' x:~ ~. I%a!!etL , p I - Mr. WILLIAM SMITH did not deny the benefits of a real Finking Fund, nor was he therefore for employing the whole of our surplus Revenue for the remission of taxes. He Was a friend to a Sinking Fond, but the ar gument of his Honourable Friend (Mr. Baring) respect ing Holland, did not appear to him to,belust. The in terest of money vested in National Seeorides, and the •interest of money lent to private individuals, were there 'different, nut because Holland was without a Sinking Fund, but because, as his Hon. Friend had stated, the. Revenue of that country did not meet the expenditure, and the credit of Government was consequently not good. Taxes must thus either be. raised to meet that expendi tore, or now loans must be made either of which was injurious to public credit. The repeal- of the stamp duties on paper employed in law proceedings had his hearty approbation ; and he would likeisise vote for the motion by which his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hob hotise) called for the reduction of the window-duty, not only on account of the smallness of the amount, which would not interfere with the great principles of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's plan, but on account of the circumstances which attended the collection. It brought the tax-gatherer about our houses, and em ployed a host of examiners and collectors. His Ho nourable Friend (Mr. Bating) professed a wish to retain the remainder of the duty on salt, to the repeal of which the House was pledged ; but in this suggestion lie (Mr a Smith) could not concur. He believed the remaining duty was not heavily felt; but without a total aboli tion, the apparatus of the collection of a tax could not be abolished. Mr. BARING explained. Holland had no surplus revenue, which was the cause of the lowness of her credit. Lord MILTON thought it unjust that all the other claws of the community should be taxed fur this Sink ing Fund. There was an erroneous opinion, that the debt , had a real substantial existence. It consisted of nothing but annuities payable in discharge of the debt. Therewere two ways of reducing it—one by reducing the nominal debt itself, and the other by increasing the' . capital of the country. The capital of the country would be more increased by leavingin the pockets of the peo ple: the 5,000,0001. than by taking it out of their pockets, to reduce the nominal Debt. As long as the Sinking • Fund_existed, the country had a tight to call on us to - reduce-tisreneation. He hoped the remainder of the duty on salt would be repealed. There was no tan, - with the exception of the nialt tax, the reduction of %%bleb would afford greater comfort to the interior classes of people. Ile trusted the Chancellor of the • Exchequer would not be induced, by what had fallen from the Honourable Member for Taunton, to abandon the plans he bad submitted to the House relative to the silk trade. He thought the coal tax ought not to be remitted, as it was only a partial tax. Uoon the whole, approving as he did of the plpn which had a relation to commercial iegnlations, though not approving of the remission of the coal tax, he should support his Hon. Friend's proposition. . Mr. HUME was lorry to observe, that he differed not only from his Hon. Friend_ (Mr. Baring), but from almost all his Hon. Fliends about bins lasigh). The • question was not whether we should repeal the window tax, or abandon the Sinking Fund ; for it was not ne ces,ary that we should do the latter because we agreed to the farmer. The House might reps-al this tax, and yet, if it thought-it expedient, maintain the Sinking Fund at its present rate, by diminishing the establish ments. The supplies for the Army and miscellaneous services this year amounted to 16 millions; the amount of the w hdle expenditure in 1792. This would bear a very large reduction, without ,any detriment to the public interests or the national security. He re membered, about three years ago, when he pro posed reductions, the Noble Lord (Palmerston) -contended that the estimates had been made as low as they could be, and. that he would not remain in his place if they were reduced. Be. Ore next Session they had, however, been reduced a million and a halt; and the business of the native went on as before.— Let but the Hobe repeal the Window-tax to-night, and without touching the Sinking Fund, an equivalent for it would be found in a reduction of our establishments. If the House agreed to the former pan of the propo sition, he would pledge hints. lf to the truth of the latter. Let not, then, Honourable Gentlemen be afraid of the . *.-Sinking Fund, for it was not menaced by the million of his Hon. Friend. But he would go farther, and spew that this Si king Fund, so much vaunted and strictly guaided, was in itself injurious tc, the country, and that if it had not existed, the nation would at this moment have been in a situation so much the more prosperous. For the twenty-four -years between 1796 and. 1820, we had borrowed 479,000,0001. at an average of .54 3s. per cent. and lent out at 41. 17s. per cent. thus losing six shillings interest on tlx sum borrowed for, a Sinking Fund. The Honourable Gentleman here, entered into various statements to strew the delusive. or ruinous nature of the nominal Finking Fund kept up during the war. The Hon. Gentleman then concluded, by ob serving, be the matter as it would, however, it was de termined to have a real fund, and therefore a loan was made with the Bank. _The transaction was such as would disgrace any man who knew the 4 common rules of arithmetic. We borrowed 5,000,000/. from_ the Rink ; and the simple word of the Chancellor of the Exchequer converted that loan into a surplus. Would the House consent to be led by Ministers who had done things like these? He knew that his calculations would not pass with the Gentlemen opposite. It he put two and two rngurher, they were not allowed to make four —(Laughter.) But was the country to go on with this delusion, while there were people in it who needed re lief fiom taxation? By an improvident loan, we had what was called a surplus; and at least let it be applied to taking off the Assessed Taxes. Let this course be adopted, and he would warrant the three per cents. soon to be at par. Upon these views, he trusted the House wiold acquiesce in the present motion. By so doing, it would act wisely, and with a regard which became them to the interests of the people. And he hoped to see, before, ong, another vote assented to, which should have the effect of doing away with the Sinking Fund. Mr. SYKES, amidst loud cries of " Question, question !" said that be was disposed us. join in the approbation bestowed upon the financial plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He approved of the rent eian of those taxes which were likely to improve our commercial credit. On the Sinking Fu:4, he must say be had no reliance, and from the time of its institution by Sir R.. Walpole down to the present day, its only use was to furnish Ministers with the means of extravagance. Mr. HOEHOUSE aridly replied. He said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not got rid of one question which had been put to him—whether the taxation of fifty-six millions shouki coo. tines for four years longer ? Whatever might be the opinion in the Howie, Its (lir. Hobbouse) was sure that out of it, it would be deemed noNearrakeoss. It had bean admired by every Member in die Houso i , m ildevesli his M*444 Ministers, that k would be »letter die Miaow Tax dim soy other.

It k not true, as stated in some of the Morning Papers, that Colonel FRELMANTLE has proceeded, or is about to proceed, to "Mexico, on an important mission. We have received, this forenoon, a file of Charleston Papers to the 25th January. The following Are extracts: FROM THE COURIER OF THE 17TH JANUARY. FROM BRAZIL. In the proceedings of the General Assembly we find the report of a debate, which continued several days, on the subject of the titular honour of the Marquis of Ma ranham, which !fad been conferred by the Emperor on Lord Cochrane. The form in which the point was pre sented was offered by Senor Montezuma, that the appoint ment should not In confirmed, inasmuch as the As.. sembly had passed no law. authorizing such an appoint ment. The Resolution was supported w:h considerable warmth by many Members: others were opposed to any proceeding . on the subject, upon the principle that, under a Monarchical Government, it was an inherent poster of the Executive to create Nobility, independent of any legislative act. CHARLESTON, JANUARY 18. We learn that Gederal Apodaca, formerly Viceroy of Mexico, is daily expected at the Havaunah, from Spain, with about 4000 troops; these are to be joined by such as can be spared from Havannah, and from thence to proceed to Mexico. FROM SAINT JAGO. By an arrival in fourteen days front St. Jago de Cuba, we learn that a Colombian fleet, consisting of three ves sels of war, arrived time about the 10th or 15th Decem ber, with the Spanish troops of the garrison of Puerto Cavell° ; the boats with the Commodore on board were beat off with stones by the Spaniards, at St. Jag°, and a guard of soldiers was sent to protect them on landing. TROD HAVANNA li. We have received Havannah Papers to the 6th inst. By an arrival at llavannah, in 18 days, from Sall Juan de Ulloa. information was brought that all the vessels of the Expedition destined for that. place had arrived ; the greater part of the city of Vera Cruz was destroyed, and the communication between the Blangulla and the Castle was .unintertupted. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. HOBHOUSE after expressing his approbation of the " sound, wise and liberal views," which the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER had displayed in his Financial Statement 10 the year, stated that the measures founded upon them had not satisfied •the wishes of the country, which had been led to expect a more considerable diminution of Taxes, and in order that greater justice should be done to the Public, moved a resolution tending to repeal the whole of the Window Tax. The CHANCELLOR- of the Ex- CUEQUER ably vindicated the superiority of his plans; , fairly admitting that " he was aware that the roped. tions which he brought forward on a former evening were not calculated, in the ordinary sense of the word, to be , very popular; but that he knew he did his duty in no t taking any course but that which w;as calculated to up hold,those great principles which ought to regulate our commerce, merely for the purpose of obtaining a tempo rary popularity. He also assured the House, that by act ' ing as he had done, he had taken " the most efficien t means for effecting, and that at no distant period, still further reductions of the public burdens." Of this he gave what might be considered an immediate proof; for he an nounced that he had found the means of effecting a flesh reduction of £200,000 in the public bui diens, and of effecting it in a branch where they might sometimes be found to occasion a denial of justice —he meant the 'Duties on Law Proceedings. They did not yield more than 180,0001. per annum in England, and 20,0001. in Ireland, and theit place would be supplied, not by a new tax, but by an expected im provement of 100,0001. a-year in the produce of the Crown Lands, and by a saving to the same amount in the collection of the Revenue, in consequence of new re gulations which were about to be adopted. The House received this statement with loud cheers ; and Mr. Homousz having pressed his motion to a di vision.' it was rejected by a majority of 155 to 88. Dispatches were last night made up for Mr. BEG°, the Italian courier, to take back to Spain, in reply to those brought to Loudon a few days since by Mr. Bum, from Sir Wu. ATouar, our Ambassador at Spain. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign deice, in Downing-street, which sat till about five o'clock. This day, at one o'clock, another Cabinet Council met at the Foreign Office, in Downing•street. EAST INDIA HOUSE-THIS DAY. THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. This day a General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held , at the East India House, for the purpoie of taking into consideration the public conduct of the Marquis of Hastings. The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, said, the object of their meeting was to take into consideration the pub lic conduct of the Most Noble the Marquis of Hastings. The Court bad been called together by a requisition signed by nine Proprietors. The requisition having been read, Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD rose to bring forward the motion. He commenced by a warm eulogium on the distinguished career of the Noble Marquis, which had repeatedly received the approbation, not only of that Court but of both Houses of Parliament—(Hear, hear). The Hon. Gentleman preceeded at very great length to chew, that however opinions might differ as to the necessity, or even policy of the wars in India, yet that the conduct of the Marquis of Hastings was such as did him infinite honour ; and his country almost unbounded glory. When our Reporter quitted the Court, at half-past one o'clock, Mr. KINNAIRD was still speaking, and read ing extracts from the Journals of the Company and the Houses of Parliament, chewing the great benefit I ender ed the country by the conduct of the Noble Mgr quis, in the Field and in the Cabinet. The Honourable Gentleman had a variety ,of papers to produce on the subject, and the debate seemed likely to continue several hours. • BOW ..STREET.--THIS DAY. _ SUAMMIL OIFFILIGIL.-•-THIt Comtism/stay OF MR KIENIONV:h Taller, O. Slit/TIN Kum, Hsu, AND d6ODZIAN. The defendants were chargiNl with breaking the lamps o. Ketisingtan road, about one o'clock in the morning. The Patrol stated that the defendant King, with .evert or ela t others were passin g a l ong t h e road. King Was for emost, and being laid hold of he got aw a y f or a s h ort t i me b ut was secured. - It was stated by the Inspector, that not less than fifty lamps of, night were destroyed, each' of which cost, 6s. 6d. The same cu t . duet was pursued on the other roads. The Patrol swore positively that King mast have brill ea the lamps. Mr. Mnomom., from the respectability of the parties, s a id h e should he sorry in the first instance to press the Act to its full tent. The defendants had certainly come within the A ct , if the case was proved ; and i n the 'second instance it would ce't tainly be pressed to the fullest extent. With respect to King, th e patrol had sworn positively to him ; but as there was no ch,, :e against the others, they were called as witnesses, att.! swore tively that King did not, break the - due lamp positively swou, : , nor that they either saw or anew who did it ; the ci , o,plAir.t n. therefore dismissed. COURT OF (17=7771, MARCH 2. ELOPEMENT OF A %VAR!) OF COOL!. This was a question relative to t::e secret marries, a ward of the Court with a Mr. James, a clergyman t ri Wales. The lady, who was only 13 years of age,.l,;) left her guardian's house in compani v. , ith Mr. and had been married by banns in a village- whele sly was totaJv unknown. The application which had bet .made on the part of the guarjians of the young lad.. was, that . James, as the husband of this young lath:, j should be deprived of :he bencfit'of the funds belon g . • ling to the ward, and should be &elated guilty of a contempt of the Contt. Tiie,Lord Chance:lor had, in compliance with ti,i; application,.made an order, de clariag Mr. J tmes tube guilty of a contempt of Cou rt . When the marriage was discovered, Mr. James had left England for France, and the yonug lady had returned to her guardian's hou,e.. The order then made by the Court wit , , that Mr. larre3 should, before nest Term, appear bef:we the Cow t to await its ju !gtnent. Mt. liNiGnr now stated, that Mr. James IA AS in at tendance upon his Lord:Alio, and was ready to minim to any older his Lordship should think proper to make. The Learned Counsel wi.hed it to be understood that no contempt of the Court had been intentionally com mitted, arid that Mr. Jame did not Icrsi,w %that the young lady was a ward of Court at tbe time he married her. Under these circumstances it was hoped that no harsher order would he desired than was fitting to the case. 'lle Gentleman, however, was now ready. to submit to any corder his Lordship might deeru 'proper to pronounce. Mr. HART said, that on the pa: t of the pia: Jiatis his instructions were, that no other order was desired, than that which would secure the property, nor• iwthe hands of the Court, belonging to this young lady. Tilde was, however, one point in which he was anxious to collect his Learned Friend, and with respect to which a mis taken representation, he thought, had been male. It was said, that there was no I.ltentional contempt rt Court committed, and that the gentleman was not aware that the y ,, ung 1 idy was a ward of Cro:rt. No affidavit. he believed, had been made .if this tact. Mr. KNIGHT said hr had an affidavit to that effect in hi. !untl. Mr. Harr was sorry for it, because affidavits had hall fiied on the other side, distinctly contradicting the assertion. .1 he uoject of the guardiaus, however, was only to secure the property. The Loan CHANCEL/11X said it would be necessary to ascertain that point before any order was pronounced Mr. Hasa would look over the affidavits, and lie had do doubt but that smile arrangement might he niutle. The Loan this the Welsh ease? Mr. 1 - l Ant• replied in the .lE6r:bailee. The LORD CHANCELLOL—Then I think that a very clear case has been made out by the affidavas filed on the other side. Mr. Haut had no doubt but that ha could arrange with his Learned Friend out of Court.—No order, therefore, was at pre sent pronounced. , SPORTING IN'I'LL,LIGENCE. SPRING AND LANGAN. • • This fight, which has been so long anticipated, was last night settled. at Cribb's, where there was a numerous attetitheice ~f the Fancy, particularly in the interest of Spring, with a sprinkling of the flowers of Erin, who were in favour of the Pat-hinder. There was a great deal of sparring as to the preliminary arrangements- Langan sent in his proposals, which, with tew exceptions, were ap proved by the Court; though from the noise that prevailed, tile particulars did not exactly reach us. Langan offered to fight on a stage elevated six feet high above ground, which was agreed to. A deposit of fifty pounds to-night—agreed to; the next deposit on St. Patrick's Day of fifty pounds a-side, to which eonsicLrable lie sitatitm was expressed, for this season, on the part of Spring, that Reynolds, the friend of Langan, was to have a benefit on or :.bout that time, which was calculated. to produce £l2O, and Lan,; presumed to be a sharer of half, was violently negatived by Spring's 'supporters, and plausibly met by Spring himself. nantly repudiated any intention to shy off for such a rais.ll (for it was only at this period of•the debate that he made his appearance). Langan, however, gave way to his customer in this pthot, rather than lose another opportunity, and " the thing was dime." It was then agreed that fifty a-side were to. be put dawn before the be lite& of Reynolds--namely, on the 14th of March. The stage is not to be turfed, and the boards on which tkey are to fight are to he three inches thick. It was settled that the ,um was to be made up £5OO at each side. The fight to take place on the Bth of June, at 100 miles distance from London, and the Commissary-in-thief (Jackson) lo name the place. The articles were signed, and the crowds who waited to hear thefirisk separated, satisfied with their respective friends. Spring, take his conduct altogether, behaved modestly, and Langan was more sparing of the shillelah than might have been, and, in point of fact, than really was expected. Dr. RUMSEY, of Amersham, expired suddenly on Thursday morning. He had gone to Chalfont in his carriage., ac companied by his daughter, who had been set down at Mr. NAsu's. and he was proceeding far.her, when one of the horses got his leg aeries' the pole of the carriage. Dr. RUNISHY, being alarmed; opened the carriage-door and let himself out: he walked a few paces, and sat down on a bank, exclaiming he bad but a few minutes to live, and expired before . pssigtance could he procured. COUNTY OF &AVAN ELECTION.—At the conclusion of this election some rioting took place, and one man, of the name of Smith,was killed. Strongly resembling the person who proposed Mr. Coote, it was at first rcprted that it was that individual who had been murdered.— Two persons are implicated .in the murder—Weir, A constable, who is in custody, and against whom the Jury on the Coroner's Inquest have brought in a verdict of Wilful 41furcler. The other is one of the Staff of Ott Cavan Regiment, and has for the present escaped. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH 3. The arrivals are, English Wheat, 3,100 qrs. Barley 1,700 or*, Oats, 7,100 qrs.

It was proved that he gave the first blow ; but the Surgeon who examined the body being clearly of opinion that his death was occasioned by his being knocked down, the Jury returned a verdict of "Nanslaughter." The in jury was inflicted on Sunday se'nnight, and he died on Friday last. .
