1 . t_ h C d d 144 44 by their Protest fellow-subjects, . and that thenGrea• Britain might bid iiiiWetto Is wiensies; and attend only to the preservation of its own libertiermttleh no one else seemed to regard. Lord CA R BEIM/ said; that the . Cdthntie-Msocia deo' had 'assumed Unee ten al authority, antilhiiefoie it ought to put an end .to'.—Lord Gaosvarroa explained. The Earl of K INGSTON rose, briefly' to correct a mistatarrent which had been made by a •Noble Lord' (Lord Liverpool), relative to the seizure of some cattle, bi tsy Of &Sink, for the nonlayntent of Catholic War.' The Marquis of ' LANSDOWN considered the statement just made by a Noble Lord was proof that the House were in the dark *upon the real conduct of the Roman CathOlic :Association. It was' in itself suf ficient to induce their Lordships to make inquiry. The Noble Marquis, on the general subject before the House, *as convinced that the state of the Catholics of Ireland reqUired the consideration of Parliament.. He was bound to look to the provisions of the Bill; and ask hirtt +self whether, if it were passed, it would be a remedy Tor the existing evil ?; He was bound to conclude that it 'would be ineffectual. He • did not find there was any intention to put down meetings of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. On the subject of Rent, he would say it was impossible to prevent money from being given and received. The purposes of the Catholic religion could not be carried on without subscription, and it was int possible to stop it. Without troubling the House on the object of the law, he was justified in contending, that the evil they attempted to defeat, would not be de feated. The toot of the evil was in the state of society in Ireland. The people of Ireland were denied the rights of the Constitution, and mixed as they had been with•those who did enjoy all the privileges of the Con- , stitution, expressions of disappointment and 'displeasure would naturally break out. The heart would feel and the pulse beat—it was vain to expect tranquillity_ in that unfortunate country, until the cause of complaint is removed. A' people equal to any upon the face. of the earth, claimed a share in tha benefits afforded by a free Constitution. They might be described in the lan guage of Milton, who said-46 Think ye, Lords and tommons, what it is you are to govern—a nation not equalled on earth, acute to invent, subtle in conversa-. tion, and not void of capacity to accomplish any ob ject." Such are the people of Ireland, and the Noble Marquis called upon the House to redress their com plaint. Instead of enacting additional restrictions upon the Roman Catholics of Ireland, it was most desirable that they should remove those causes of irritation and discontent of which no man could deny the existence, and which he and his friends knew were to be met with' at every corner. It was not by penal or restrictive sta tutes that their Lordships could hope to reduce the distemper of which they complained. Penal enact ments would be worse than useless —(Hear). He would say of these enactments, in the language of our im mortal Bard : The elements Of which your swords are tempered, may as well Wound the loud winds, or with bemock'd-at stabs, Kill the still closing waters !"—(Cheers.) He had heard, even within the last forty-eight hours, hopes held out to the Irish Roman Catholics. He trusted that those hopes would have a healing influence on their minds, and prevent the further expression of angry feeling on their parts. He could not sit down without expressing his sincere belief, and he hoped it might reach . the Roman Catholic body, that many Members, both in that and the other House, who, from mistaken views, voted for the present Bill, were, not withstanding, the most zealous friends of Catholic Emancipation—(Hear). He said this, because he wished the Roman Catholics to 'continue their confi dence in the men, who, upon that question, had uni formly advocated their cause—(Hear, hear). He now entertained the hope that the restoration of the rights of the Roman Catholics would be restored, and that in a manner most valuable to themselves, and at the same time most palatable to their brother Protestants. Entertaining this !type, be did not intend to be so pettinadous in his opposition to this measure as be was otherwise indined to be ; and he was the less in. cased to be so, inasmuch as be hoped that the BM, if passed, world never be acted uposs, but would be superseded by a measure as well of justice as of wise and liberal and conciliatory policy—(Hear). The Earl of HARROWBY supported the Bill.— What would be the state of Ireland with a rival Parlia ment? He wished the Bill to pass, because it was the dutrof Par• fitment to provide for the trauquillity of Ireland. The Noble Bari was also desirous of passing this Bill, because it was necessary for the benefit of the Roman Catholics themselves. The Catholics ought to rejoice that they bad an opportunity of proving, that although they had been misled, they were still kip), and ready to submit to the law. That conduct would shew that they were entitled to putleipate in the blessings of the Constketiom The House then divided—.

CANAL. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for making a Ship Canal Irani the English Chan nel to the Bristol Channel. It was brought in and road a first claw. On the Illation that it be read a second rinse, Sir T. LLTHBRIDGE said, he wished to state only to the House the nature and objects of the Bill. The project of connecting the Bristol Channel with the English Channel had been undertaken by men who were perfectly aware of the great flatland advantage of the measure. It was a speculation which was not likely to fail for want of the means to carry it into exe cution, and could not be classed with those delusive projects of which they daily heard mention, and which were, in his view, highly injutions to the community . at large. Tbe sum required was 2,000,0001. and the whole of that stun had been subscribed. The Canal would pass through a line o f countr y, I P 7) / a x rr d of which was poor land, but the reit very riche The pro perty to bs pargbased for this purpose belonged to 1000 different persons • of these 918 -had been applied to, (nit of whi c h number only 50 were opposed to the project. IR would pass rpugh or near severs) towns,' and would, tberefe re , be productive of much lOCRI ps well as stational advantage. The Channel (which would receive ing trade, and thereby in part remove the nursery of our 'aloft who'now acquired skilVand experience in the difficult. naviption.round the Land'o'Faid7 thought, besides, that die` can */ atilditirbadrvermitdot be coMmucted for C2,000,t)04.‘ Sit T.

Estimates were not always correct; it wii, hoviever, Calculated that two millions would cover the whole expense. But whether it cost two millions or three millions was of little importance, when its general national advan tages were taken into considera tion. 'Ms Petition was ordered to be read a second time. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from Drogheda, in favour of the Liverpool Railway' Mr. C. CA LVERT presented several Petitions from St. John's Parish, against the South London Water Works Bill.

DAVIS presented a Petition from St. Stephen's, Bristol, for the repeal of the House and Window Duties. On the motion of the same Gentleman, a return of tobacco and snuff which had paid the duty up to the 24th of October last, was ordered. Mr. C. CALVERT presented a Petition from St. Saviour's, Southwark, for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. Mr. BROUGHAM thought the doctrine of taking off Indirect taxes, was carried a little too far. The relief was not so imme diate to the public. The next day after the duty of £l6 a tun was taken off French wines, he was at Guildhall, and he there heard that the wine-dealers had raised French wines £lO a tun. Sir R. WILSON said, the same advance todk place on !withal, when the leather tax was taken off.—The Petition was then read, and laid on the table. Mt. D. BROWN presented a Petition - from the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Ireland, in favour of Provincial Banks. Sir W. INGILBY presented a Petition from Holbeach, for the repeal of Assessed Taxes. Captain 31 ABERLY presented a Petition from Northampton, favour.of the County Courts Bill. Mr. HU ME presented a Petition from. Londonderry, in favour of the Catholic Association ; which, after a few words from Sir G. l aw., was read, and laid on the table. Mr. HUME begged to move to discharge the notice of audios admire to the Irish Church, in consequence of the progress and state of the question as to Catholic Emancipation, till the 10th of March; and on that day to substitute in lieu of it, the Motion far dispensing with the Sinking Fund. A Message from the Lords Informed the Rouse, that they had rued the Exchequer Bills Bill. Mr. BROWNLOW presented a Petition from the Protestants of Ireland, praying for an opportunity to offer a justification of the character of the Orange Association of Ireland before they Imre dissolved. Lord ALTHORPR was glad to hear the declaration of the Honourable Member, that the Orange Association was to be con sidered as extinct. • Mr. ABERCRO M B Y concurred' in the congratulation of his Noble Friend, at hearing from the Honourable Member, that the 'Orange Associations might be considered at an end. He had no ' objection to the Petition being laid before the Committee up stairs, If the Orange Associations thought it necessary. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that whatever were the op. position to the Catholic claims which he had made and should make, there was no man in the House heard with greater satisfaction than he did the declaration of his Honourable Friend,, that the Os ange Associations are at an end. He did not call in question their loyalty, but the principles on which' they were confederated together were objectionable. Many of the persons connected with Government had been Members of these Associations, to mo derate their sentiments, and to prevail on the Associations to dis solve themselves. Mr. ABEItCROMBY was glad to have heard the explanation of the Right Honourable Gentleman, which be thought was absolutely required. After a few words from Mr. BaowiLow and Lord ALMOST& the Petition was read, and referred to the Committee in the State of Ireland. Mr. A BERCROMBY presented a Petition front Bandon, in favour of the Catholic Association. Mr. M. FITZGERALD presented two Petitions from Killain, on* me — rry, against the Bill for putting down the Catholic Association.. MA BROUGHA M brought in the Apothecaries' Regulation 111111, wadi was read a first time, sad ordered to be read the second date tweaerrow. He noticed u misrepresentation which had gone abroad of what be bad said en the occasion when be gave nodes of this Bill. He had been stated to have said something disrespect ful of the proceedings of Trinity College, Dublin, respecting their practice as to Diplomas, than which nothing was farther from his intention. Mr. CROKER said, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had certainly said nothing against the Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Trkairy Colleges. Mr.. HUME said, be believed the University of Aberdeen was about to make a regulation to remove the stigma which at present was faxed on them. Mr. MA BERLY presented a Petition from the parish of Mary la.iseasse, in favour of the repeal of the whole of the Assessed Taxes. ASSZSSED TAXES. _ _ _ Mr. MABERLY rose, to bring forward his motion for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes, and he was satis fied that if 1000 householders were canvassed, 999 out of them would be for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. He thought that following, up the Chance of the Exchequer's own principles, he had not taken the best c,ourse for the attainment of his objects. He had reduced the duties on no articles which formed a part of our manufactures, except that on iron, which he had left still at a rate of duty amounting to prohibitory. Coffee was an article almost of luxury, and wine was unquestionably one of that nature. He admitted that the seduction Of duties on foreign articles would induce foreign nations to take Off more of our manufactures.

There was still to be a difference ef 4e. a gallon between the duties on spirits here and in ficoOand and Ireland, which was finite sufficient tp slitce th,e p 4 ngußip.c4 of gongOing • tits du ties ngtu be as well as wine.

The tut 'nn -hou-es and windows .he thought even m •re oppressive than the Property Tax. The mode or reducing tales in part was a very inju dicious one, a. the whole of the machine! y of collection remained, and burthened the collection with a heavy per tentage. He tame now to the Sinking Fund, which, from the time of Sir Robert Walpole,to this very hour, had been eui.gized as the only means of reducing the debt. But from the time of Sir Robert Walpole to the present time, he (Mr. Maberly) was ready to prove that it had increased the debt instead of rearing it.— The Sinking Fund was always a fund for the Minister, and was always laid hold of whenever a temptation oc curred. The daily purchases were always held out as a great advantage in supporting public credit. But the Right Honourable Gentleman had thought proper to depart a little from it, and 0,500,000 only remained for the daily purchases ; and he would ask whether that was a sum which could be supposed to support the public credit of this country? He admitted that the charge of the debt was reduced, but that was owing to the- industry and energy of the people, enabling . the Ministers to reduce. the interest, and not at all affected by this delusive Sinking Fund. It was the giving up twenty 'millions of direct taxes, which had been the first cause of the present prosperity of the country. If it were-expedient to maintain this fallacy of a Sinking Fund at former periods, it could not be necessary now, when the fallacy was exposed, and the necessity of it no longer existed. He antici pated that it s would be said, notwithstanding there had been no real Sinking Fund from the time of Sir Robert Walpole to this time, that the public credit would be ruined if that fund were not maintained. lie (Mr. Al.) gave the Chancellor of the Exchequer perfect credit for the uprightness of his intentions in rejecting the popu larity which he would have obtained by abolishing the House and Window Taxes. And he gave the Right Hon. Gentleman and his Colleagues credit for the revo lution which they had brought about in respect to trade ; formerly, the rule was restriction, and freedom was the exception; but now, restriction was the exception, and freedom was the rule. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving his first resolution, for taking off the whole if the Window Tax. Mr. LEYCESTER seconded the motion. He was favourable to the measure, as it would cure the evils of absenteeship, and abolish all the vexations and abuses of the system. Mr. HEATHCOTE professed himself anxious to relieve the country from the Assessed Taxes, but he thought that could not be done without the abolition of the Sinking Fund ; he conceived that would be the most effec tual means of preserving peace, or enabling the country to go to war. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he confessed he was much surprised at this motion be ing brought on to-night, and chiefly at what was said upon the extinction of the Sinking Fund. The Ho nourable Member for Aberdeen intended to bring the same subject under the consideration of the House, and he wondered this motion, with the same object, should be made without a distinct basis. However he had the precedency, yet he thought it would have been more fair and reasonable, if he had prefaced it, before he brought it under the consideration of the House. The Honourable Gentleman had alluded to, and taken ex ceptions against, some diffei ent items of his reductions, and then turned to the abolition of the whole of the Assessed Taxes. The Honourable Member for West minster had also given notice of a similar motion for the repeal of the Window and House Tax. The Ho nourable Gentleman had been kind enough to approve of what had been done lately, and of the exertions of the Ministry for the benefit of the country. He said this was no more than justice. He could vouch every thing he had done was intended for the best interests of the country, and to place it in the most advani tageous situation. However, the Honourable Gentleman had commented with some severity on those reductions he had made for facilitating our trade and commerce. He would not contend the principle, but say, the re duction of those duties was a boon of 1,500,0001 1 or 1,600,0001. to the country, and in the next en suing year would be upwards of three millions and a half to the relief of the country, and yet the . Honourable Gentleman requires to get rid of the Sinking Fancy. — The Right Honourable Gentleman then alluded to his reduction on Hemp, which would be reduced to SO in stead of 15 per cent. However, people interested in this matter, and who are well acquainted with every thing on the subject, believe the reduction of 15 per cent. which is one halfpenny per pound, will be a very great boon, and that he would not be blamed, but rather praised, for making that selection. The next ' item mentioned was Coffee, the reduction on which it was said was of no value to the Country, that it was not to general use, and was but a mere article of luxury. But were it not from some extensive cause, such as the duty, the consumption would be greater. The sure criterion of duties being too high, was the consumption lessened. A cup of coffee might be a luxury to the 'honourable Gentleman after dinner, but it was a part of the poor man's necessary meal. It was salutary, palatable, and nutritious, and he Wished to increase the consumption of it as much as possible in the country for the comforts of the people. Let them consider, besides, how beneficial the increased use of coffee would be to our West Indian Colonies. This reduction would *cause its very extensive cultivation tpere, with less skive labour, and thus tend to amp. 'borate the condition of the slaves. He then ob-, jected to what was done with the duties on wine, asserting that 'it was a mere article of luxury; btu ' he did not view it in that light ; and were it even to be so viewed, why should her 'not give those luxuries to the respectable; though poorer orders of society, which the higher clashes enjoyed ? - The - arguMent of the Hon. Gentleman, on Os mbject, wasdireetty in the teeth of House - could not have ddne less thain he had proposed: The Hon. Gentleman said, that the tax on tobacco ought a--Not lessahan three millions soda half. .How the sum applied to theleduction of the. wine duties (750,0004 Operate favourably on tobacco? If any thing were done respecting that article, the_ preventioo of smuggling must be its leading feature. Now, in pr. der to check that great evil, a 'eduction of the . duty must be made, sufficient to put it out of the smugglers power to compete with the fair trader ; therefore,a much greater portion of the duty on tobacco than 750,0001: must be taken off, or we should be doing nothing. But the public interests did not admit even of such a reduc tion, which, after all, would be unproductive of the de sited object ; for suppose that one-half the duty Were repealed (in lieu of the reductions proposed by himl, the consumption of that article must he doobled,in order to meet the defalcation which such redection must cause. 'lles, even applying the 750,0001. which he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) had already proposed should be directed to other purposes, these would still be a deficit of 750,0001. But, the Honourable Gentleman asked, If ydu do not chine to reduce the duty on to ? ,bacco, why not direct your attention to tea:" The duty on tea, the House knew, was 100 per cent. on ire value; yet, tempting as it necessarily was, smuggling of tea was muck more difficult of' practice than of other articles. The duty on tea produced upwards of 3,000,0001. The same objection consequently applied to the partial reduction of duty on that article which he had suggested with reference to that on tobacco, for no reduction of less than three-fourths of the duty could hate the effect which the Hon. Member anticipated. Three-fourths - of that duty would be 2.250,0001. but even were it only a million, how could the deficiency be made up, unless indeed consumption could.be pushed to a paint on which no rational man could reckon ? Now even suppose a million only were reduced, although the Honourable Gentleman recommended a much larger reduction--. Mr. M BERLY.-1 beg the Right Hon. Gentleman's pardon. I only intended to press upon him the necessity for reducing the Assessed Taxes by the sum which he proposes to apply otherwise. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry he h-ad misunderstood the Honourable Gentle man's argument, but even according to the Honourable Gentleman's own principle, a. sum 01E500,000 only could be applied to the objeet proposed by him, The question tesolved itselldistinctltioto this—had the best course been followed ? If he were to adopt the Hon. Gentleman's suggestion, he might have applied himself to the reduction of the' duty on tea; still the Honour able Gentleman argued, that at all events the Assessed Taxes ought to be got rid of, and pro r osed to effect that object by the application of the Sinking Fund. But, he would ask, had nothing been done towaids reducing the Assessed Taxes, even while the Sinking Fund was maintained? Since the year 1821, the Assessed Taxes of the United Kingdom were reduced by no less a sung than £3,soo,ooo—(Hear, hear)—one half of the entire amount. Relief had also been given to the people in other matters—in articles of necessary consumption ; in malt, salt, &c. Considerable relief had also been afforded by reduction of duties on articles of foreign production. Was that doing nothing for the relief of the people? • The Hun. Member said, that by applying 3,500,0001. of the Sinking Fund to the repeal of the As.essed Taxes, there would still be a surplus of 1,500,0001. while the Honourable Member at the same time con• tended, that there was in fact no surplus at all, for that everything connected with the payment of what was termed the dead weight by the Bank, was a juggle— (Cries of Hear, hear). Thus, the Honourable Gentle man contended, there was in fact only a surplus (Sink. ing Fund) of Three Millions, yet he required that we should repeal tales to the amount of three millions and a half. which would leave a deficit of half a million— (Hear,hear). Such a proposition was contrary to rea son and contrary to every principle of political eco nomy. Mr. Ricardo himself always contended (Particu larly in the debates of 1828) that we ought to have a surplus, although he disapproved of a Sinking Fund,. He had' thus, he thought, said sufficient in reply to the Hon. Gentleman, and should therefore reserve his oth* arguments for defence of his system. The Honourable Gentleman said, that outside the walls of that House hit (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) propositions were received with disfavour—but, from what had come to his owe knowledge (and he thought it sufficient author r:tf)-he could assert that the very reverse was the fact— ' (Chow s). And he was convinced that when they should come hereafter to be judged with reference to the principles on which they were founded, so far front being received with dissatisfaction, he had reason to trust that they would be reeognited as originating in the best feelings and desires to promisee the Comfort ! of die peep's, and founded on the most fair, just, and enlightened regard tu their interests--((.heering). Mr. CALCRAFT expressed the extreme satisfaction he felt at hearing the statement of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday list, hut should, neverthelest„ vote for the first of his Hon. Friend's resolutioni for remitting the Window and House Duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman had un. questionably taken, since his entrance into oNce, alsOit enlightened and liberal course for the adveVage ofthe nation, yet he (Mr. Calcraft) conceived that a largi portion of .the Sinking Fund applied in the repeal of direct taxes, would do more service than in reducing the capital of the debt. They were now, after ten :years of peace, paying upwards of fifty millions of taxes— and was that state of things to continue till we a ere plunged in imbiber war? The Sinking Fund appeared to him a mere teseppeitlio to expense and restless ambition.—After a finis , non elbeesoatime relative to the Wine Trade, the Honourable Maribor coneluded by supporting the first of the Resolutions. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY was for the repeal of the 'Whole of the Assessed Taxes; and after abolisbiug them all, they would still have a surplus of two minions, provldea '44 gave up the Sinking Fund. Mr. Alderman . WOOD could assure the Right Hon. Gentleman that his mode of relieving from theWindoss Tax gave no relief at all ; because, whenever he took off that tax, the landlord added the amount to the rent.
