• l,* r ofr .01` . •- .~ . . . I thin t. it-(- Mr. CALCRAFT felt much obliged to his Hon. Friend who had just sat down, for what he bad said en the subject of those law taxes. They were of a charac ter the most odious and oppressive, and were among the very first effects of taxation, which the people of this country had a right tb expect would be now done away with. But he particularly wished to ask the Right lion. Gentleman what was meant to be done about the rfpral of the present duty on salt ? ( Hear.) The pledge, the solemn engagement that Parliament was under to • the people, was not to be for a moment forgotten. Tat was—that on the sth of January, 1825, this tax was to terminate; and he (Mr. Calcraft) was still of opi nion that Parliament oteght to redeem its pledge by taking especial care that at the appointed time the duty sho•ild be wholly remitted— ( Hear ). . • Tee CH AgGSLLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that as to the different items which he had selected in kis'statement as pro. per for the purposes of reduction or Improvement, it was possible he might have made, out of the number to be moldered, a wrong choice; It might seem strange, but experience.proved that there. Was ar much difficulty to be eneriontered in deteAniniug what taxes ought to be taken off, as there was in ascertaining what might be put on, ' with the least possible injury to the public interest. lie begged to assure Honourable Gentlemen that it was Matter of much difficulty to weigh the reasons fog repealing one tax, against those whie,h might be urged for the repeal of another ; and the principle upon which he had acted, in the selection he had made, was, that the result of his plan would enable ParliantZto to pro. . vide the means of effecting, at a future time, a further reduc tion of taxation ; whereas he conceived that the repeal of those other duties and taxes that had been adverted to, if effected, would not leave to Parliament the means of future reduction.— Ile begged to assure the Honourable Member for blidhurst (Mr. Smith) that the subject be had addressed the Committee upon, had not escaped his phservation. He was quite aware that there was a degree of oppresaion about the operation of the duties in question. In balancing, however, one duty ag. Tint another, he (the Chancel lor of the Exchequer)"had been led to think it nould ho more ad vantageous to begin by endeavousiug to effect the other objects to which he had called the attention of the Committee, than by at tempting the attainment of other ends, which, however desirable they might be, would not enable Parliament to repeal either tams in future. The course be had that nigist recommended, he still con sidered to be that which would prime most beneficial to the Public. Mr. BROUG HA NI felt considerable disappointment at the pro ject which had been that night laid before the Committee--(Hear). IN so saying, let it not be torn moment supposed that be wished to treat with the slightest disrespect those very sound and enlightened principles of commercial policy which the Chancellor of the Excise. quer had so clearly and broadly recognised. Nor weerd he deny that i t was seldom possible to effect any girt alterations—Ms provements, though they might be—in local and commercial property, without much present injury —(liter, bear, hear). — It was impossible for them to trace. back their steps frum the exer cise of wrong principke to right principles, without working in jury or mischief to some extent. It , had been well said, that one of the miseries of a had system of government or commerce was, that they could not find their way back through former errors without, during some intervals, doing still greater injury than wuuki have been worked in the same space of time had the old system cold:turd. But if viedrs of commercial improvement, founded upon filth principles as the Hight lion. Gentleman had been stating, could • I be carried Into effect, consistently with the good of the whole na. • tom—(that deposit which was intrusted to the caret/11%6a' inentj— it would be the duty of she Legislature stoutly and manfully to sup port the Covet ninent io effecting them--(Hear). tteservingbis opi nion, however, of `the proposed measures In their details, he wished to be understood as at present expressing his approbation of their principles only. His great objection to the project which had been °pent d to the [louse was—not as to the repeal of the fishery and linen lii.onties, for of that he must approve; not al to that repeal of dirks which was to be effected on silk by the taking off the duty on the raw material, and thereby giving to our manufacturer the benefit of the repeal ; not as to the repeal of the coal duty, which was called for by so large a proportion of the people, and es pecially by those of this metropolis and the adjoining counties; not ' tyro the repeal of the duty on wool, accompanied by a prohibition to export'the raw material; but his Objection, at present, was to one or two points, on which he would o ff er a few observations to the 'louse. He understood, then, that on the hems specified the Might lion. Gentleman reckoned that there would be a growing' surpius - tot the protein year of about A 7 3 ,0,000, and about double that arnout.t we. to be calculated on some other branches of the revenue. Ntiswahis being the statement of the surplus which was to be mail. We to the !tight lien. Gentleman, what were the effects that were to blow everts the execution of his plan? The only advantage that he (Mr. Ilrougharn) could understand as arising from It was, that coats and silk would be cheaper ; - wool would noz.be mach af fected. Now the lightening the duty on coals was p very good mea sure, and would be extensively felt by the poor; but the alteration of the duties 'on silk afforded no such general relief. Then as to rum ; the proposed reduction of duty was not even suggested to be for the relief of the consumer, but only of the producer; and as to any -trues. sure which would have a tendency to render ardent spirits cheaper, Le confesied that he was one of those who would rather support that which should make them dearer, for the sake of public murals. With respect to coals—the other subject an which all persons must • be pleased on finding there was to be an alteration of duty—it was to be remembered that it was a benefit that would not extend to thepoor generally, but patilaliy only ; but to the poor of this city, and this and some other counties ; it being clear that the poor ..of London were persons,for the most part s better able to pay for this article than the poor elsewhere. He felt, therefore, that however sound the principles were upon which some of these duties were about to be reformed, the application of the surplus revenue that had been spoken,of was not such as to justify . the public in hoping for any present relkf front the pleasure °ltasca ; or to give them any con fident expectation, that in the course of a few years any other fund would be realized tbatwould furnish themeans of future and increased relief. There was yet one mode of obtaining for the people relief from the taxes that mon heavily pressed upon thetumbkh was not noticed fn the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, hut might be most salvantageously resorted to--he meant the appropriation of some part of• the Sinking Fund. Now, a Sinking Fund, especially with compound haerest—(alaugh),—be took to be one of those errors that were observed to be daily upon the wane. A very few years, ,pethaps months, would not pass away before a return to the true /milky would sweep away this anomaly; and his Majesty's Minn tees would grant—(grant he would not say, for it would be their duty to extend)—oot to the prayers of the People (for it would be their right), the fuU benefit of those just and sound principles, and, that comprebensiveamlicy, the value and necessity of which had been preached so long to them from that side of the House, and had been pressed upon them from ont of doors, day lifter day, by the - discussions of better educated, and better informed, and more en lightened persons than themselves—(A la ugb, and cries of " Hear"). lie objected next to the appropriation of the X 500,1100 received from Austria, that perfect God-send, as the Right Honourable Gentleman had described it, to the building of churches. Let it be remembered, that Parliament bad already granted £1,000,000 for building churches; and granted it with singular unanimity. There; was not a murmur from any of the classes from whom the money was raised—not even from the Dissenters; oho, of necessity, were excluded from taking any direct benefit in the object of the grant. It would be a most ungracious return for the lib era lity of th e Dia seaters and Sectaries of all denominations, to say—that this " God send," should be applied to the building of more churches, fruit which the whole of their respectable, industrious, religious, and en lightened. classes should be excluded : for if they were to be built upon the same principle as the other churches had lately been, these sects would virtually be abut out. On these grounds, he should up. peer this vote, and be rejoiced to find that he should not stand alone. He would certainly press hip opposition; he trusted the project would be equally opposed out of doors; and that they who had acquired equally with churchmen a right so to do, by not opposing the fine vote, would bring their complaints before a Parliament talks to redress them, as bearing in its mind the liberal way in sow pada had acted on a former occasion. Then as to s* a this half million, if k should be otherwise ypplied, er e killeMbd as present quite in the way of Ministers, he would sug gest dist Sheen Issold be no better means of getting rid of the money that, tba India* of schools. With the 1,000,0001. already sub serlbedjen few churches had been built: to be sure they were rather awalifittelat strictures, and, indeed, the thing seemed to have Wen senevellat oveselonealtogether. But he was very sure, that en the maw Petal leak, 5,500 schools for the education of youiviogit h a t w i t h the mow, In- thatevent there a le wish in this country. whiCbsu t h e sum were •dotrosid, not have its whoa. The money might • net to be paid, or to be pale Y the won of the feadi, allot ehe erection of the schools, prg ade quate ta fuerdsh the secessary compensation. Upon this proposition, ra11PF.11.7. 11..... • -' • . • • iissurcrviamos . , - hear/ em ire some mercy upon thitir country- • men; and, meanwhile; he could no; refrain from observing upon such a proposition as this, that there was some- . thing too much like cant in the whole of it—(Hear.) . it was very likely that he should be found in a small minnrity in. deed in that House; but out or It he was sure of a large majority, who would think tat half a mintin of money, instead of being added to the 1,000,0(701. already granted for building new Churches, would be much more usefully empifled in inlilding aefgoisr- Wfth his Honourable Priend ( Mr. Calcraft) he perfectly.opamerid— that the Salt Tat must, looking to the lolemn ~lllngliegg..o ment had given, stiffer a natural death at its a It would not be the least recommendation attaching to the repeat of that tax, that the collection of so considerable a brand% of the Revenue would be lopped off; and therefore the Revenue would' be considerably benefited. Ile had no doubt that with the million and a half on Aielt the Right-Honourable Gentleman had calm. laced, and one or two millions taken from the Sinking Fund, the reduction of taxation might yet be carried to a very considerable extent, indeed, without interfering with the funds necessary for et: /goin g the proposed commercial reforms. They might repeal not only the Assessed Tays, but also those Duties which were co be called' not merely a tax, but a cuing injustice and an iniquitous burden on the most laborious and' oppressed class of the commu nity—namely, the Law Duties; stiNch, to the disgrade of this age and nation, had been allowed' to remain in their present state, at a time whe n all the great Wenches of commerce and re venue were established on bettee and more enlightened princi l ies.— These Taxes mi g ht be reconsidered; and the worst of the Assssed eases; that on windows—mi g ht be remitted. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the case of the Tea-cleties in Me, and of the Coffee-duties-about eleven years a g o as remark able instances of the consumption of an article increasing so much under a reduced duty as to yield as increased revenue. Upon the same principles he felt no manner of doubt that Ministers would. find they could, (as in the duty on wine, the consumption of which had decreased with the increase of_duty), by lowering duties, raise the revenue, while they relieved the consumer, and then become enabled to remit taxes, and lighten those burdens which now pressed most heavily on the people. Mr. HUME expressed his satisfaction at the state ment which had been made by the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished to knoW, :however, why some relief had not been given to the West India Interest—which he expected would have re-, ceived a:remission of at least 7s. per cwt. off,the duty on &gar? • Ile also thought that a reduction might have been made of a million or ,a million and a half in . the Dutieslrom beer, and that dive was no reason why a poor ; man should pay thitty-five shillings a barrel, for what a rich man paid_twenty dye shillings. lie also objected to the retention of itieSinking Fund,which was only plausible as a support t - 44 public credit. He also argued in favour of diminishing the dittiei opt home l and foreign spirits, and that on foreign wine, and tar ther insisted that the whole of the Assessed Takes ought to be repealed, and the Sinking Fund approptiateJ tn ,the public service. The Honourable Member next ad verted to the fax on Lsw proceedings, and orgeatly re commended the Chancellor of the Eta! °quer to peruse Mr. Bentham's arguments against that duty. He con cluded by opposing the rote of 500,0001. for the build ing of churches, as a partial measure.. Mr. ROBERTSON said, he cni.id not allow that an increase ot consumption must necessarily follow a re duction of duties. It was by In i oct ease of commerce I the Public 'Would be benefite.l, and therefore het bought' the Chancellor of the Exchequer had chosen well in those duties he selected for reduction. Mr. BENNET said, that all the mischief which op pressed- the country arose from the alteration of the currency. It was a measure of fraud. At one period they robbed the public creditor, and it was now pros ' posed to rob the public debtor. This would have the effect of bringing ruin on thousands. 'Tie country suf-: feted these evils by no etror of their own, but by the act of the Government and of the Parliament. Avi culture was not, he would admit, so depressed now as in 1817 and 1818, but it washy no means in a flourish ing condition.. Any advantage the ct,untry noir en joyed was owing to the people themselves, totheir skill, their indult% y, and talent. They Were, not indented for it either to Parliament or to his Majesty's . Ministers. •It was this very Parliament that supported measures di rectly opposite to those new proposed. Mr.DAVIES GILBERT merely rcse to express hit wish that the Salt Tax should be allowed to expire. If free of duty salt would be extensively employed in agticultute, and also in the coarser arts, such as pi*: wry and I:nick-making, &c. • - Mr. BROGDEN then proceeded to read the Hew lotions. 04% corning to the second Resolution, . • Mr. BARING rose to inquire by what means the Right lion. the Chancellor Of the Exchequer proposed to raise money to pay the dissentients? . The CHANCELLOR ache EXCHEQUER said; the means employed would_ ot course depend upon the amount of the sum requited. Whether it would be by a new loan (which of course could not be called an-ad dition to the debt) or by an issue of Exchequer Bills, he' was n- . )t now prepared to-say.—The rest of the. Resoln tions_were theft read, and the House resumed, when the !Levitt was ordered to be received to-morrow. SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the Report of the Committee of Supply should be brought up. Mr. Warms asked a question respecting the new Dock at Sheerness, which was satisfactorily answered by Sir Geonot CLERK, who stated that a few - pounds would render it perfectly applicable to all the purposes for which it was intended. On the vote of the Committee for increasing the Mi litary Force being read, - 4. Mr. HUME decidedly objected to so large ' an esta blishment. The Hon. Member' again contended that the expense was more than the country ought to bear. He read an extract horn the speech of a Noble Lord (Castlereagh), delivered in 1817, where he called the at tention of the House to 7,000,0001. as an extravagant vote, and the N ,bie Lord recommended not more than six millions and a. 13.111. The general opinion was, that the Estimate to which he had alluded ought to be re duced but this year the country was to support a larger ' establiJiment than in 1817. On the whole, there ap peareitto be a determination to make England a nsilitary nation, which we ought not to be. There appeared, he was ready to admit, on the part of the present Minis teri, a disposition to do tight for the country in all matters with the exception of the military establish ment. The estimate of the number of men appeared to him to be wrong. It it were reduced 10.000 they would do right. He considered it his duty to per suade the House to-make that reduction from the pre-, sent number. The House and the nation had nothing but peace to look for. Mr. Hume concluded by re. peating the motion he made iu the Committee for re ducing the Estimate. Lord PALMERSTON said, this question had been se fully dis cussed on a for Mer evening, and the opinion of the Cbaunittes had been so decided on the plot, that he should not trouble the Home by arguing it again. We rose, therefore, only for the purpose et correcting an error into which be Ileneurable Gentleman had fall with respect te the Military Establishment, when he stated that k was greater this year than in 1817. The ansabsr of men proposed for the establishment of 1817 was 107,000, ax a charge of while thb year the number prosiosed was only 76,000 men ad 64 104)1 4 charge was ,e2twoo ohm of 1,8,000"0.

So. general was the anxiety yesterday afternoon td hear the fitancial disclosurcof the CHANCELLOR of the' Exclitouan, that the lobby and avenues of the Houle' of Commons were crowded at an early hoist by care I expectaffts, amongst whom were many eminent Cori. talists and Members of the Stock Exchange. Nl* sae their cut ioity disappointed.. The Right Honourable Gentleman drew a most gratifying picture of the ni• tional resources, invigorated as they have been by die wise policy of his MaJesre's Government, both ,n regard to the foreign relations of the country, and also' to the enlightened commercial principles' which have been adopted on a mature . consideration of their fitness to the present stale , of trade. So pro.' sperous is the general course of our affairs,, that the Government, whiehrolateltreduced the Five per Cents. th Four, feels itself nos: , hI a situation to propose the redaction of the old Fours to Three awl a Wolf Little di no difficulty is to be anticipated in this operation. 'The Stock is not comparable in magnitude to the Old Fives, which were convened into New fours, and are in consequence irre2eemablz for some years to come ;and the reduction of a .. half per cent. on the interest is not much more than , crwres?ondent to the present difference of market price between the Old and New Fours. The saving to the flublic, however, will be about 574,0001 per annum, the 'capital of the Stock to be reduced be tween 74 and 75 millions. The surplus of our Income, our Readers have been already apprised, amounts to no less than 6,710,98.51. Of this rum, Five Millions are to be applied as a Sink ing Fund ; and the remainder enables Governmeht to propose the remission of some of the more burdensome taxes. It affords us peculiar pleasure to find, that among the taxes to.be remitted, is a part of the Coal 'Nx, an impost of a most injurious arid unequal nature. The West India Interest wiU be in some degree relieved by a diminution of the Duty on Runt ; and the Manuactorlng Interest will be greatly benefited by a remission of some pan of the Taxes on foreign Wool and raw Silk. For more ample details of this most satisfactory financial state. tient, we tuna however refer to the speech of the Right Ho. nourabk Gentleman himself; and we have only to add our coupe- Wail ,On the pleasing respect w,hich is there held oat et a 'pia greedy' improvement in the - national resources for several years jet to come.
