(.~~ ~,~ t 1N Pi t . A lown•••• 4 1 : k;,. fore to give the home manufacturers the advantage of his vote for the continuation of these duties. Mr. MA BERLY trusted the House would feel the necessity of being governed by some filed principle ; thirty p r cent. had been stated as the maximum. On no account, theielose, could he agree with the Right Honourable Gentleman in upholding a tax beyond that rate -for-thertimtectinn of the home manufacturer. The CHA NCELLOR . of the EXCHEQUER said the Honourable Gentleman was arguing on a princi ple which he knew did not apply to this question. the Honourable Gentleman knew that the Bill originally introduced imposed an ad valorem duty of thirty per cent. but afterwards a rated duty was substituted, higher than thirty per cent. Mr. C. GRANT—Yer, but that effect was not in- tended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he knew not what the intention of the scale was but the obvious effect of it was a considerable accession of duty. This was not a question* pi inciple, but of ex pediency. Mr. C. GRANT denied, that in making the transi-, Lion trom the ad valorem duty of 30 per cent, to the, rated scale, the duo , had been intentionally increased, or that knowingly the increase had been admitted. We had no such intention, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, or consciousness. Uur intention was to adjust the scale on the rate of 30 per cent.. As. far as we did deviate ; it was urconsciously. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that he supported the amendment, because there was an uncontested case made out that a duty of 60, and 65 per cent. was imposed, when it was intended. that it should not exceed 30 per cent. After some titiservations by Mr..COCRTZWAY and Mr. Frtza, the Committee divided. The numbers on each side were 26. Sir A. Guam the Chairman of the Committee, gave his vote . for the amendment, which was therefore carried. A second division took place while. we were absent from the Gallery. The numbers were again precisely the saute, and Sir A. Guinn had again the casting vote Mr. HUME complained of the injustice of levying a. duty of 30 per cent. on India shawls, while the same article was admitted into that country from England at a duty of 2i per cent. He moved, therefore, with a view to reduce the duty, that the mention of shawls should be omitted. • Mr. OOURTENAY admitted the facto stated by the Hon. Gentleman, but denied the adviseableness of the reduction. The Amendment was then withdrawn; and the several other clauses being agreed to, the Report was ordered to be brought .up tomorrow. The House then went into a Committee for the purpose of takintinto further consideration the postpone d Resolution relative to the Duties on Sugar; namely, to admit sugar for the purposes executing, at a duty of 295. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that if was only an experimental measure for a year. The Resolution was then agreed to ; and the House having re sumed, the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Butter Trade (Ireland) Bill went through a Committee, in which it received several amendments. The Report was re ceived, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Mom day; and the Bill, as amended, was ordered to be printed. REPEAL OF THE DEAD WEIGHT. The HOW then resolved itself into a Committee-on the Military and Naval Pension Act. • • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the measure commonly called the Dead Weight had been under discussion in the Finance Committee, l and there it was no longer argued that it was useful.— In 1821 the great pressure on the finances-of the coun try made the Government anxious to find ui any means to relieve it. It was accordingly proposed to obtain this relief by creating an annuity which should spread the charge over a space of forty-five years. He did not wish to enter into any discussion of that ar rangement, but the remit of the Finance Committee's inquiries were to recommend the removal of the-mea sure as too complicated, and as introducing confusion into the accounts. Toere was at present, he believed, po difference ut opinion on the subject, whiCh made it unnecessary for him to go further into the . question ; but when the Bill for repealing the Au was - brought in, there would be an opportunity of debating it. He should ooly'move, as a Resolution, that leave be given to . tiringin a Bill Inc repealing the Act passed in the third year of the K.ng, relating to the Naval and Military 'Pensions, and for providing for the payment thereof. Mr. HUME heard this motion with great surprise. It had already coskthe country a large sum; and before it would expire, it would cost the country upwards of 4,000,8001: He was surprised that Mr. Vansittart should balm been allowed is procure the passing such Acts as these; but for this suit rf service he had received a pension and a Peerage. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUBR de fended his predecessor against what he thought was a personal attack by Mr. Home. 'The Noble Lord had not been actuated by any culpable motives, as the Hon. Member seemed to supposi. The loss on the measure arose principally, or altogether, Irons the rise in the Funds, which his Noble Friend could not foresee, and for which he deserved as little blame as he would have deserved praise had there been a gain instead of a loss. Mr. MABERLY said a more mischievous or inju rious measure never passed that House than the Act it was now proposed to repeal. it was a fraud on the country. He hoped such a measure would never again be brought forward ; and he believed it would not, for it. was unanimously condemned. The Hight Hon. Gentleman, he believed, would never follow such a course of proceeding.: It wacinjuriods, also, in conse quince of the annuity being purchased by the Bank of England, as t made the in send notes into circulation whack they had no means of withdraiving. If they had sold this annuity as they mice had contemplated, during a panic, it would have oaused an inconceivable injury to the country. Mr. LES PER compered heartily in the motion, for amore absurd meastsse never was brought into Par liament. • The Resolution wes•then Ggreed to. The Heine resumed, the Report of the Committee was brought up, ilesee was given to bring in a all in the some of the Resolution.; old a hill was. aterailinglY• ordered to by brolight in. SAiligile SA mu.: The Report on the Saving Basks' Bill was lirouglikqp. On the ensitian that it be read, LEWIS rose to propose an additional clause The Right Hon. Gentleman expressed great apprehen sions lest when the sum vestell in the Natbnal Debt by the Trustees of Savings' Balks became great, /here might be, in consequence of a rist ir..the rate of interest, or a panic, a sudden demand for this monoy, and the country be exposed to great danger. The clause die should propose, therefore, would be to limit the sum vested by Saving,' Banks in the National Securities. — When that amounted to 20,000,0001. he should propose that the Commissioners for the National Debt should not be authorised to receive any more, and that the Trustees of Savings' Banks should be authorised to place the money entrusted to their care wherever they thought fit. The Right Hon. Gentleman also objected to those parts of the Act which limited the amount each indi vidual,might deposit in them. Mr. BENETT thought there was no danger to be apprehended from the wing being invested by Friendly Societies ill the National &entities. T ed ent t i o on l e i d im by ve th ry e Right. }Hio.nG.GUeßnNtienETansai o d p t p h o e , *ile a n fe e e i n gold, a they drew great, because all th ose who had money in Savings' Banks would probably demand it i n it out under the influence,of a panic. The CHANCELLOIt of the EXCHEQUER had no grea t objection to the clause , b ut he did nut think it was required. The check now given by the Act to any individual vesting beyond a certain am( unt in a Savings' Ba'ilc, was a sufficient security against the danger apprehended by his Right Honourable Frien,i.. It would be safer, in his opinion, to leave the Bill without the clause, than to add it, for he knew bow difficult it was to satisfy people that filth had been kept with them, it they were not allowej to go to the strict letter of an Act I f P rham-nt. To bring about the danger supposed,halt a million of persons must act in concert, which was not very likely to ecru'. He had looked at the workings of the Savings' Banks during the panic, and he found that 1,200,000/. ha.l been taken out of them within a few %seeks, when the panic was at the highest; but during the same period 600,0001. had been paid in. If the sense of the It lute were in favour, of the clause, he would nut oppose its introduct on; but he thought it unnecessary. Mr. MONCK thought the danger the clause was intended to provide against more imaginary than real. Colonel WILSON wished the operation of the Amendment to be deferred till May, 1825. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined acced ing to the preposition. After a discussion between Mr. Mower:, Mr. llnstr, Mr. J. Ma &TIN, and Mr. F. Lawn, the amendment was put and carried. CORPORA TS renns' SILL. Mr. OTWAY CAVE moved the third reading of the Corporate Funds Bill. • Colonel WILSON was decidedly opposed to the Bill. The common course of law afforded a remedy for the embezzlement of public money. He'shoutd move that the Bill be read a tiiirii time that day three months. Lord LOWTHER thought the Bill an unjiistifiahle and unwarrantable measure, by interfering with tt,e power of Corporations. The oldest Corporation in the land—that of London—distributed its funds.to the mo..t various purposes—civic feasts and snuff-boxes, and such convivial and ,political objects. . Why then shook' t i nt a. Corporation c .ntribute t r the election of a Leib,. - townsman whom they knew to be able to support their intetests? • Mr. CAPEL, in assigning the reasons for the sup. post which he felt it necessary to give to this Bili s in stanced the case of the borough of Queenbornugh, as an example strongly proving the necebstry of the occasional interference of Ertlisment, by s. me specific enactments, to repress the abuses which too often disgraced the exercise of torpor ate funds, powers, and privileees—(Hear). Mr. H. GURNEY supported the Bill. ' Mr. ROSS opposed it as unconstitutional in principle. Mr. BATLEY was decidedly favourable to it. - The House then divided, first on the Amendment proposed by Colonel Wu.sois. For the Amendment 10 Against it 35 Majority . -25 Secondly, on an Aniendnient "loved by Colonel SII3THORP, that the Bill be read that day two months. . • . Ayes • . • • 4 Noes 35 • Majority against it • There was another Amendtnent proposed, while strangers were absent, but oo division tout place; and the Bill was read a third .time, and parsed. The amendments to -the Beer Bill were agreed , to.. The Bill was ordeied to be read a third time to-morrow. and engrossed. The amendments to the Night Poaching Bill were arm agreed to. The Bill was ordered to be read a third tisne to-morrow, and engrossed. The House resolved itself into a Committee on the. Church. Bedefices' Bill. The several clauses were agreed en, the House resumed, and tl;ii . Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday next. The Hou-e went into a Committee on the Prerogatite Court iti Canterbury . Bill. Mr. HUME objected to the amount of the fees, and thought that, as the Bill could not come into opiration for some years, k might be withdrawn for the present. Dr. PHI LLIMOItE could not consent to lessep the amount of the fees. -31 The House resumed, the Report was brought up; and the House, after disposing of the other orders of the day, adjourned at HALF-PAST TIVELVII O'CLOCK. BRITISH WOOL TRADE. . REPORT OF THE CoSIMITTEE APPOINTED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE STATE OF THE WOOL TRADE, &C• That the Committee have met, sod examined several witnesses upon the matter• referred to them, and submit for considerdtion the whole of the evidence they have received. They have directed their inquiries principally to the following matters :—Tne past and present state of the growers of short or clothing wools, of long or combing wools, and of British Merino wools. The probability of any change in that state, the stock of British wool now is the hands of the grower, the stapler, and the manufacturer, and a comparison between the stock in hand - bow and .at former periods. The depression in the price of wool, and the various causes from which it is alleged to proceed. The past and present state of agriculture in light and upland soils, as dependent upon the folding system, and the use of particular breeds of sheep. The change which is alleged to have taken place in the weight cf the carcass of the sheep, in the quality of the fleece, and in its usefulness for the purposes of manufacture. The various uses I f long and short wools i The application cf short wools to the purpose r f comb ing. The export and import of woollen cloths. The effect of duties in this and in foreign countries on wool And woollen manufactures. The proportion between the home alutshe foreign market for woollen nianufai; tu►es. The 'change which has taken place in the dew and `for the fine articles of menuf icttire. The past and pre-' 'sent value of cloths manufactured solely from British wools; from any mixture of British wools with the fine wools of Germany and Spain ; with the low wools of the Mediterranean, Germany, Denmark, Russia, and Iceland ; with wools from Australia. The value of cloths made wholly from foreign wools. The effect of the manufacture of articles made of cotton, and of wool mixed with cotton, upon the wool market and upon the woollen trade. The importation cf woollen rags, and the uses to which they have been applied. The pro bable increase of the supply of wool from Australia. In order to bring under general view the documents which have been laid before the House relating to this subject, and for the purpose of more convenient re ference, the Committee have directed that these docu ments should be added in an Appendix. (It consists of'7oo folio pages.) 17th June, 1823. The following is an extract from the evidence above referred to : Mr-J.llllnm, jun. of Southaver, near Lewes, examined—Are not the burdens upon your farm grater now than they were ten years ago: such as County Rates and Poor Rates?.—Not much greater than any were •ten years ago.—greater than they were 20 years as.. Are your parochial burdens as heavy now, when you can get only a d . a ram " for Temarerool. as they were when you got half-a-crown a pound for it ?a—Yes. quite as heavy as they were then. You have stated that you got between 6d. and led. a pound for mutton; have you never got =On than that ?—Yes, I hsvo got is. a pound. Comparing the price of the present day with a series of years, is it less than what you have obtained for a great many years?--Yes, mutton and beef are both falling every day. Sheep are now kill ing at a year old, instead of two years old. ' Do you comae the present price of Meat a remunerating price? —l(cs, I think it more than a remunerating price bad we recovered front the effects of the rot. Dors not elle excess of that price compensate for the deiciency in the price of wool ?—I think it is more than a remunerating price for those who have sheep now to sell; but looking back at the loss we sustained from the rot, that loss wawa great that we have not recovered Isom it yet. Mr. William Nottage examined—l carry on my business in Rus sell street. Bermondsey. lam a woulstapler and fellmonger, and general dealer in English wool. 1 have dealt on my own account since Midsummer, 1792. I was apprenticed seven years before that. Does a deterioration invariably follow an increase in the weight of wool ? For the purpose of making cloth it does. Is not the quantity of what is called coarse wools greatly in creased ?—From that description of sheep, certainly. Can you give the Committee any information as to what you conceive to be the causes of the increased weight of the fleece, and the consequent deterioration?—As far as my observation goes, wherever enclosures take place, aid •the land becomes better cul tivated, they keep a better kind of bli:vp, a larger kind of sheep; and South Down sheep of a good size are always more marketable than of a small size. In the prices you give or offer for wool, do you take into consi deration the stocks in hand with the farmers?—We arc governed by the demand, which of course is regulated by the stock in hand; but we very otten know nothing of the stock in any other hands but our own. In what state are those stocks now consider the stock in the hands of the dealers very loss now to what it is on the average of years. Was it not the custom formerly far staplers to keep large Stocks in their hands to supply their customers?—l have frequently had more than double the quantity f now have; and I used to he in the habit of receiving orders from manufacturers for 200 or 500 packs at a time. I scarcely ever now get orders for more than 40 or 50 ; and that bring the case, I keep a less stock. Nr. William Ireland— lam a Black well-hall factor. We have been using English wools for second and livery cloths; but accent!) , they have been so very much lowered in quality, we have not been able to meke use of them at all, and have been obliged to make use of low Garman and low Spanish wools forthat purpose. When did you begin to discover that the English wool had become so much worse ?—lt must be five or six years hack, or six orseven. I have samples of cloth which we manufactured when we firit went into business, and I have samples of those we now manufacture. Did you discover it previous ro the' time when the tax was taken off in the year 18247—We did. Did you act upon that discovery previous to the tax being taken off?—We did. During the time the tax continued, you began to use foreign wool, in consequence of finding that the British wool clid nut an swer the purpose as well as it used to do?—We did. Is that general in the clbtliing country about you?—ln Glouces tershire and Wiltshire it has Daft very general. , Did you begin the ti-e of the foreign about the time the other manufacturers did?—Yes; the manufacturers have been running a great race lately, seeing who could produce the best article in the market, and . have made very great intprovements. Do you still make cloth eiriri ly of Is:tight's wool? We ate noir particularly engaged in making those super cloths ; and for home consuniption swot make some nt the livery drabs and seconds. At what price do you sell the cloth made of English woul?—We have been making, recently, livery drab cloths, a sample of which I will beg to produce (producing the same); that we sell at 95. 6d. per yard; *bat is for box coats; that is from a Dorset wool. - Do yoii make any of that mixed with foreign for liveries?—The Frome people have been mixing lo* foreign wools with English wool for that purpose ; and my brother-in-law, who lives near Dorchester, came to town last week to purchase foreign wool, for the purpose of mixing it with the British wool. Ten years ago was the cloth made of British wool better than this pattern which you have now delivered ?—h weold have been better ten years ago, if the saute sort of wool were used whichas now. The fleeces are run into different sorts, and we have rise from the low sorts to the higher, and are now using the very best sorts 'for that purpose, ;said they are not good enough; whereas we used to sell the higher sorts, and keep the lower for manufacture. For what did you sell the fine sorts? For the best flannels, and for the second cloths, such as servants' coats are made of. You are obliged to use the finest for the common livery cloth?— We are. And that in consequence of the wool having become coarser than it used to be?--Yes. Sine; what time has the wool become coarser?—We have ob :servedli for, the last seven year'; the breeds have been crossed. 1 reecilklet giving 2s. 6d. per pound fur Dean Forest Down wuo:s to make white second cloths. We were at chit time eery much engaged io that trade. We must have them free from black hairs. That is an article we cannot get at any price now ; it is not to he procured in the kingdom at all. Dkci' you-make a discovery that Biitish wool was deteriorated in quality before the existence of the sixpenny duty?—Oh, yes, we certainly did. • Supposing a drawback were allowed upon the exportation of cloths at the Custom-house equal to the duty imposed upon the raw material, could that he done without frauds being committed by the manufacturer ; might he not demand a drawback, pretending that his cloth was manufactured ofsforeign wool in a greater degree than it was?—l think it would be subject to that. Could the liability to fraud be set aside by having sample pieces of cloth at the Cvstont-house, and referring to them, in the hands of competent judges ?—I do not think it could; for in the low de sc ript ion of cloths, made from Mr. Webb Hall's flocks, I have laid with them a o:oth nude of Germau wool ;•and• il l your Lord ships will be kind enough tolompare these patterns with that cloth, it would require very great nicety of judgment to discriminate be tween then. • Do you think there would be a great tendency to commit those frauds ?—I think it would open a door to them. You state that the wool trade in foreign countries is now on the decline?—l think it is. To what cause do you attribute that ?—I attribute it to the mar kets being very much overstocked. Do you mean the trade in cloth, or the trade in woollens gene rally ?—I mean the trade in woollens generally. I undetstand from Calcutta that cloths can be purchased considerably cheaper than I can shipthem hem THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. FRIDAY, JULY 1828: STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.' The Consol market opened in a most agitated state this morning, and Consols, done yesterday at 87* a, opened at 87, and im proved to 87* i ; but when it was known that his Majesty's ship Britomatt bad arrived at Portsmouth, with disastrous news from Lisbon, such as a battle having taken place between the Royalists and Constitutionalists, in which the latter were completely de feated, together with the approach of Don Mtouix's troops to Oporto, Copula became exceedingly heavy, and receded again to 87 to *, at which they are at present. The advice of the Finance Committee to redoce the Sinking Fund to two millions, has also operated greatly on the market, and caused heavy sales this morning. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

C. 7 1 $ We understand that the Fourth Report of the Finance Committee, which was presented to the House of Com mons last night, contains a recommendation of a con siderable reduction of the Sinking Fund, via. fro* Five Millions, to Two Millions per annum. The Re. purl, however, deprecates the keeping it up esitn to Two Millions, unless it can be done without additional taxation. It One Million ceuld he made up by a re duction of expenditure, the Commissioners think the fund might then remain at Three Millions. The Report also embraces the subject cf Public Buildings, and Civil Soperannuations. An amendment to the Customs Bill, going through the House, was proposed by l'Atmerr THousog,- having for its object the alteration of the Duty on Ewa India Silks to £3O per Cent. ad valorem, instead of the charge by the piece. It was supported by Mr. CRAMER GRANT, and finally carried by the casting Vote of the CHAIRMAN of the Committee, the numbers being twelty-six on each side. The CHANCRLLOR of the ExcuEQuert did not object to.tbe general principle of an ad valoruni duty, and indeed it is in every respect so much mote fair ancrequitable, and operates so much more favourably on consumption, than any other mode of charge, that it would be desirable to extend the prin ciple to many other articles of importation. If silks are charged by the piece, no distinc ion of quality t an be made, but pieces of all values pay alike—a circuits. stance which makes us feel e kasure at the alteration effected. The Park - Papers of Wednesday give• no flesh ac count, from the theatre of war. A few Tutks had passed the Danube at Oltenitza, to destroy the works, but had retired at the approach of the Russians. Long GRANVILLE was expected to lease Paris immediately, and Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY to arrive on the 13tit • instant. By his Majesty's ship Britomart, arrived at Ports. mouth from the Douro, we have accrunts from Oporto-- to the Ist inst. These advices, we are sorry to say, are of the mast desponding character, as .regards theCon ttiutional cause. It will be seen from the sehjqinert communication, received through the North and South American Coffee House, that the troops of Don *- Gm, after having beat their opponents, are within a few leagues of Oporto:. • OPORTO, Jowl We are in a little alarm, for the operations of the armies are now only three leagues from G Martha Saldanha, Count Villa Flor, and the Marquis Palo.eila, have gone to the army. General Stubbs remains in Oporto,as General of the North. Oporto will be the ,cene of battle, if the enemy rorce.thrpugh the posittoa. our troops have taken. The carnage has been dreadful —all yesterday the wounded soldiers were entering. The British vessels have dropt down the river behsw the Convent of St. Antonio. The English families ave . on board the brigs of war, and ail the Englishmen in tend going on board, should things come to the was?. All the baggage has entered Oporto, and Gen. Stubbs has issued a general order, calling upon every person capable of carrying ....rns to appear this evening at six o'clock. Some further particulars by the letters from Oporto of the 30th of June " Count Taipa, finding the battle lost, became delirious, and i;ttemptecl to throw himself_ into the river, but was prevented and . taken on board a ship. The battle was fought near the Vouga, and Sal. danha has retreated and taken up a position within two leagues of Oporto, Wheie lie means ;o make a stand, if the enemy do not attack him immediately." --....p.-_ Since writing the. above, we • have reCeired the 'fol lowing account on this subject from our City Corres pondent: The important news received from Oporto this morn ing, of a severe battle, seems to be doubted on 'Change. and is stated to be greatly exaggerated. Several letters . from the above . .filtiatter have been received, 'but we. cannot learn whether they came by the Britomart or the Procris, which arrived yesterday ;• hut certain it I that the letters are dated the '29th and 30th June, and differ greatly in regard to their cor.tents. Some are. written in great agitation and alarm, while alms are cool, and without fear. • • The following is what we have been able to collect' from the various letters; 44 The Count de Taipa left Oporto for the army i day previous to Villa F:or, Palmella, and B.4lthitilat,. when he returned in a state of m4dness, reporting rhat all was over.. Sajdanha would .not credit this ala7m ing account, but immediately mounted his h' sr, and proceeded with .tha utmost speed to the :um, Which he formed in a most excellent position, and w trot to Oporto that it the enemy gave him but nice days time, he would be in a situation, not only to repute them,,but give therm battle: . upon which info:m , t;on Villa Flor ar,d Palniella left to join him. Saldanlia • Stated, that on his arrjval at the army be found they !lag baggage for at least 30,000 men, and that half the -ear! was occ.ipied in guarding the baggage. In consequence lie gave orders that most part of it .houid be sent hack to Oporto. This order is supposed to hise causal tit great confusion there." • The family of Harris, at Oporto, who had trobatke4 has re-landed again.
