A COMPLETE working model of the above-men tioned Apparatus baring been made, for the purpose of de monstrating that its principal and erect, are as distinct from, as they are superior to, any previously known, the Public are hereby Informed that the same may be inspected at Mr. HENDRIE'S, No. 12, TICHBORNE STREET, near the REGENT'S QUA DRANT. The model will be entruded to respectable dis tillers desirnus of proving by experiment, at leisure, the power of the said Apparatus in obtaining, at one operation, a pure spirit of great strength. At the respectable Rectifier's where it has teen upwards of six months in constant use, it has given such perfect satisfaction that a second is about to be erected. This Patent Apparatus has the double advantage of very consi derably shortening the time of operating, and of producing a much cleaner and stronger Spirit. Low Wines 70 per Cent. under proof, are rectified by one operation into Spirits 45 per Cent. above proof. The essential, or empyreumatic, nib are so com pletely condensed in the Still head, and retained together with the aqueous vapour, that the Spirit obtained is much cleafter and puree than that which, by the meld lieed,bee madergesPs seamod or 4.64heedflcatlno. A Still containing 2,000 Gallons may be abused twice in one day, and drawn over by this patent Head, with per fect safety and facility. As a substitute for the old Head, the patent apparatus is readily adapted to the boiler, and the worm, or condenser, already in na4: so that the Stills on the premises need not be changed. The cost. compared with other recent inventions for the purpose, is mode rate. Once fixed, no particular attention is required. The sim plicity of construction, the easy adaption, and the rapidity of its operation, render it for the West Indies the most eligible improve-. mem of the old Still that bas been offered. Mr. ilzsmus, Assignee in Trust, has the sole authority togrant Licences under the Patent. The terms will be found equitable; and any further explanations or references will be given.

Mr. CRAFER, from the Treasury, presented at the bar certain accounts, pursuant to act of Parliament, relative to toads and bridges in the Highlands of Scotland. ntsTnEss--cutans . mcir. Earl STANHOPE said he held in his hand a petition from the owners and occupiers of land at Chipping-Norton and vicinity, complaining of the distress under which they laboured, and suggest. ing, as a partial relief, the repeal of the laws imposing taxes on malt and beer. The petition, he said, was most respectably signed. lie begged to put a question to the noble duke at the head of his Majesty's Government relating to a document from which the noble duke had read a statement to the house on the first night of the ses sion, as to the circulation of the currency and Bank of England Paper. The noble earl wished to know whether there would be any objection to the production of that paper. He was inclined to be lieve that the statement contained in the paper was founded on a fallacy. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the paper with hr road to the haws. as the first night of tholsaalas.ott the sub4ret te ll:reed to, war a paper drawn up by himself, from information he had deri ved in communications with some gentlemen, and he did not think it such a paper that he could properly lay it on their lord ships' table. This he would, however, say, that the information on that subject which Government possessed should be sift:tided to die noble earl. Viscount DODERICH said, that he was about moving for some returns which would assist the noble earl, and to which no difficulty in producing them existed. The first was the quantity of gold coined, with the value thereof, distinguishing the quantity in each year, from 1819 to the present time, as nearly as could be made up. The second return was for the quantity of silver coined during the same period, also distinguishing the quantity coined in each year; and the third return was for the quantity of foreign coin and bul lion exported during the same period, as accurately as could be obtained. The petition which the noble earl had presented was then read, and laid on the table. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that the return, taken together, would give every information which the noble earl de. sired. If, however, any additional light could be thrown on the subject, every facility with that view would be afforded by govern ment. _ Earl STANHOPE said, that he knew it was the opinion of the late Lord Liverpool to be impossible to have en accurate return of the quantity of gold and silver in circulation. All returns on that subject were extremely imperfect. The motion of the noble viscount was then put and carried. The Earl of RADNOR moved for a return of the amotutt of stamps for 61. notes and upwards, issued since the let of January, 1826, to the present time.—Ordeied. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH AUSTRIA. Earl STANHOPE said—arcing the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Aberdeen)—l beg leave to ask one question. I wish to know whether& commercial treaty, which by a misnomer is called a reciprocity treaty, has been entered into between this country„,and Austria ? _ _ The Earl of ABERDEEN said that ►t was perfectly true that a commercial treaty had been signed, and he hoped that it was also ratified. • ------- Lord VERNON presented s petition from Bath, signed by 16 magistrates, praying for a revision of the game laws. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from Leeds on the subject of the trade to India, which was referred to the select com mittee. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that he had been requested to present a petWoa from the nobility and gooey of the county psv Lune of Cheater , by the lord lieutenant of that county, complaining of the distress under which the population was auffentig, and pray ing relief. Mr. Tierney, from the Tax-office, presented at the bar certain copies of the cases decided by the commissioners, at the assessed tax-uifice. Mr. Danvers, from the India House, presented at the bar the re gulations of the India government for the year 1820.

NEW WRIT. - - On the motion of Mr. PLANTA, a new writ was ordered to be issued to return a member to sit in parliament for the county of Radnor, in the place of the right hon T. Frankland Lewis, who is appointed treasurer of the navy. Mr. S.

THE OAHE LAWS. The Marquis of CHANDOS withdrew a motion which stood in the paper relative to the game laws, until a future day. The noble Marquis gave notice hat he would, on Tuesday, the 23d inst. bring forward a motion for the reduction of the duties upon sugar and rum. STATE OF TUE COUNTRY. Mr. EGERTON presented a petition from the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of the County Palatine of Chester, complaining of the general disuessed state of the country, and that county in parti cular, and praying for economy in the public espenditure, a reduc tion of taxes, &c. The hon. member concurreu in the sentiments expressed by the petitioners. Mr. E. DAVENPORT expressed bit opinion to be in a:cerdance with those of the petitioners. The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. W. PEEL brought up certain returns as to the quaaity of silver coin in circulation. Mr. IVODEHOUSE, in the absence of the hon. member for Shaftesbury (Mr. E. D. Davenport), begged leave to withdraw a notice of motion, which had been given by that hon. member (upon the distressed state of the country we believe), upon the ground that the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Peel) had declared his Intention of shortly submitting some measures to the house upon this important subject. Mr. Secretary PEEL denied having made any declaration upon the subject in question, but merely left it for the hon. member to bring forward or withdraw his motion as he thought proper. Mr. WILBRAHAM moved for a return of the amount of sunlit; received by the Commissioners of Savings Banks during the Lee two years. The hon. member ohsetved that it was generally ae. serial that the capital of the country was in an increasing eunditfuty, the tact might be so ; a nd hi s o bj ect i n m o v ing fur these, rein* was to ascertain to what class of persons the capital was falling; There might be some few wealthy increasing their property, abase the greater portion of the public were in an impovonsittog state. The blood might circulate in the heart at the same time due the extremities were In a state of decay. Mr. E. WODEHOUSE concurred in the propriety of the returns. As he was then on his legs, he wished to ask the right hon. gentle, ' man opposite (Mr. Peel) whether there was any truth in the ap: pointment of Mr. Franckland Lewis to the office of Treasurer of the Navy ? Mr. Secretary PEEL—Antinswer to the hon. gentleman's questioei • 1 have only to inform him that a new writ has been moved this . evening, on the appointment of that gentleman (Mr. F. Lewis) to' the office of Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy. Mr. N. WODEHOUSE said he was not aware of the feet, ree'er, course would not have troubled the right ben. gentleman with question. He (Mr. Wodehouss) had another question; tied to put of some importanceln his *pink% t vis.—How It ' in the minutes of the evidence of Mr. Ale:sander Honig: the se ewers to the queries put to - the Governor and Deputy Onetime! *I the Bank of England Were not in the precise weedy dew P - Mr. Secretary PEEL could only account for it by there bring no abort-hand writers present at the time. But the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trade. neither of whom were then in the House, would be best able to answer the hon. meinh,fi; inquiry. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sugaested bat the returns moved for should include the amount paid into the bards of the Commissioners, as well as the amount laid out in purchase of stock. This amendm nt having been made, the returns were ordered, for the years 1828 and 11129. to thel:Hat Decembe: in each year in. elusive. %Ir.

Mr. DICKINSON presented a petition from W. Touzev, M.D. praying for the Interference of the house to check the spread of small pox. On the question that the petition do lie on the table, Mr. IItI3IK said that the subject was one well worthy tl:c atten tion of the secretary for the home department. While anxiety was manifested to keep off the plague from our /1101e4, no less exertion ought, in his opinion, to be made for stopping the ravages of what must be considered a domestic plague. Persons, in defiance of ex perience, still continued to have their children inoculated with the small pox, and a legislative provision ought to be introduced which. while it would not interfere with the private prejudices of any,should still prevent children infected with small-pox from being allowed to come in contact with others. In the county of Devon vast mischief had lately accrued from the want of some such regulation. After a few words from Mr. Dicairesox, the petition was ordered to be printed. GREECE.

Cloonox, the Lunatic Licences Bill went through a committee ; —To.keezeported to morrow. avirs.T.—TAXATION. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the order of the day for the house going into a committee of supply, Mr. HUME rose and said that before the house went into cons. mince he was anxious to submit a resolution to its approbation, be cause he thought that the house had a duty to perform before they could agree to grant a supply. He felt that in offering himself to their attention he was undertaking a task considered, perhaps, by many to be difficult, more particularly from the great variety of opinions that prevailed. He wished merely to answer for himself; and he could not but think blame was to be imputed to those who had net sufficiently exerted themselves to controut the expenditure of the coustry, as for many years be had been of opinion that a great deal of sax present difficulties arose from the seals of expenditure and taxation which kis M4eety's ministers had been permitted to keep up since the peace. On considering the situation of the coun try which prevailed, the house, he thought, must hesitate respect ing the adoption of any vote, when they saw the empire in its pre sent state, instead of enjoying the advantages which it expected, and had a tight to expect, atter the conclusion of the war. Peace and plenty had bees premise& and these was a just right to com plain when those promisee bad not been fulfilled, and that his Ma. jetty's Government continued to maintain a system of taxation altogether incompatible with the results which the people were jus. tified in expecting. It was true that this endeavour on his part was pot new, as he had for the last ten years been endeavouring, though unsuccessfully, to impress the house with the mischief of the policy that had been pursued—to show that the country, instead of deriving benefits from a state of peace, had been obliged to support a war establishment, and that, instead of restraining expen diture the Government had gone on extracting every shil ling from the people that it was possible to raise, and to keep up establishments to the fullest extent they could. It might not appear practicable to "Ward relief by a remission of taxation ; but if the house would direct its attention to what would have ken the result' if a system of economy had been resorted to at the conclusion of the war, then they wuld see how much might have been done, and how erroneous and how mischievous was the system that had been pursued. Ile was certain that taxation continued one. half, if not more, onerous to the people, which could not have hap. pened if they whose duty it was did what they ought, by enforcing a reduction in proportion to the decreasing resources of the country from which that taxation was extracted. Instead of that, it would appear, by reference to the returns, that the amount of taxation now was equal to that of any period since the year 1817.—(Hear, hear.) In 1818 and 1819--years in which it was thought necessary to re duce by degrees—the taxation was no more titan it was now. In short, by referring to the estimates, it appeared the same scale was kept up, and that ministers swelled the estimates to the full measure of the means at their disposal. He therefore called upon the house to do what the country, through its representatives, unanimously called for. He would not then dispute how far the distress might extend. He believed it to be, however, general and extensive; while he was at the same time aatisfied, that the people of England looked altogether to diem for relief. And under what circumstances was Parliantent assembled ? His majesty, in his speech from the throne, had not intimuted that there was to be any reduction of taxation, nor heel a single expression fallen from any of the mlniaters from which such an intention could be derived. It was true that the house had passed a resolution to effect every possible reduction in the amount of rue establishments; but he knew too well that resolutions of that kind, so lo,ng as they consented to grant a supply, were altogether less, and could not be productive of any reduction. lie said that because be could prove the contrary, and could show that the re. peated recommendations in speeches from the throne had never been eccooopanieel by any proposal for en efficient reduction. He had taken the tremble to make copies—and they were curious—twin which It, could securely say, that scarcely had there been a speech since the year 1817, which did nut express the determination of his Majesty's government to relieve the country, and to reduce the esti. mates. But notwithstanding these repeated declarations, the house would be surprised, on looking back, that the expenditure at this day, the fifteenth year of the peace, and the thirteenth since the celebrated finance committee, was not lessened an iota. The ex penditure of last year exceeded that of 11117 by 1,600.0004 Any ono who heard the lion. Secretary for the Treasury (Mr. Dawson) the other night, would blieve, from the- lists he read, that the ex. penditure had been greatly reduced ; but he was emery to find that no such results had been produced. Ile felt himself, therefore, obliged to call upon the house to pledge itself to • reduction of taxation, which appeared to him the b.st means of meeting the altered circumstances of the country; coupling that, at the same time, with • change in the node of taxation; and these together would, he thought, be the bese method of effecting the great object he had in view. The house had agreed, in the year 1821, to a unanimous address for retrenchment. That address had been pro. posed as an amendment upon a motion of his for reduction ; but so far from following that economy. and so far from pursuing_thst resolution, the expenditure had actually increased; therefore 'it was that he was far from co:•sldering the resolution of the other night, although it had been proposed by a minister of the crown, as giving any promise of relief. He said so, because he saw no sooner did one vacancy occur than It was filled up; and for this he need only refer to what happened yesterday, in the new appoint. ment to that sinecure (Zee, the 'I reuutership of the Navy. No governorship of a colony appeared in which, when a oblige took place, there appeared any attempt to alter the rate of kis allowance. He was, theretore, doubly anxious to impresaaspou hon. members, if they w ished to relieve either their constituents. or tbeoutelero, with the necessity they were under of pledging theneelies to a reduction of taxation, and la doing so to canvass every motion for a supply.

The amount. therefore, which the house had to deal a ith was :116 500009'. He had no doubt that, if ordinary attention had been paid to economy, one-half of that might have been reduced ; and that, if the country had kept up military and civil establislimenn proportioned to its means, we should at present have paid off from 130,009,0094 to 130,000.000/. of our deb:, and been thereliy relieved to the amount of 6,009,0901. or 7,000.001) . per annum. l'te civil and military ovate. lishments for 1627 and 1828 averaged from 27,040,0001. to 28,019).0411. in 18 . 21 there hod been a reduction of 600.0001; and in the followieg year the estimates were re. ducted to 24,250.000/.

In 1825 they amounted to 26 500.0i:04 in 107 to 28,000,0004 and in 11128 nearly to 3.000,000/. more. All this or coned on account of the carelessness of the house, and through his Majesty's ministers having gone on re4eardkes of their manhole and the situation of the country. Last year, it would be tecellected, there wax, on the part of ministers, a stror.g declaration that seett would be the economy of the Duke of Wellington, that the estimates would be reduced, and every attention paid to retrenchment. But what was the fact ? The estimates, as propounded last year by the minister in the budget, plowed a reduction of only 220,000/ or or 230,0001. The expenditure of 1828 amounted to 17.211,0;1a for the three breaches. But did the house reconeet the "great pm. navel made by the clerk cf the ordnance and the sinewy at war, as to the redpctionti that were to be made? He bad flout them been led to ex *et that the expense of the lastycar would have been con , eider:arty kW. However, by the paper laid upo t the table of die house, histead of a dettinution, they had increa , ed from 17,211,080/. Se 17,666,0001. Therefore, judging from what had taken place, they had no right to expect any efficion reduction, unlen the house would interpose, and reduce the means placed at the diernal of sninieters. The lipase would, he hoped, ennise him if he phose.l them what it was that caused the present liituai in of the empire._ There was a call throughout the country, and a general one. that the hooted proprietors should reduce their rents to the stitederd of 1702. If that were to be dime, there should also be al approximation to that standard in the revenue and expenditure of the country.-- It was admitted by the finance committee of 1817, as well as the last, that every effort should be used to reduce the establish ments of the cluntry to the scale of the years 179/, 91, 92, because they were found in every way equal to the maintenance of the inter. eats of the country. The Finance Committee of 1828 also took that standard as a basis, but they could not succeed, as he regretted to say they were cut very short. It might be that the Government wished England to be the arbiter of Europe. If such were the co,* it was time for the people to awake out of this reverie, and to bring the establishments of the country down to the rate its finances could afibrd. At the present moment taxation was exacted to tee amount of upeetrils ct fifty-six millions. The whole Civil List Expenditure of those days was not more than 5,300,0001. it now exceeded twenty-four millions; so that the charge had increand five times beyond what it was in 1792. But, as profits of every kind had been reduced to the rate payable in 1792, as well as wages, had not the people right to demand the House to force his ,Majesty's Alinisters to reductions similar to that. The only reduction which had yet taken place had been a reduction of the interest of the debt to twenty-nine millions. As far as funded property was cencerned we had made a progress in reduction, but as regarded establishments we had made none. It was important to see how the charges had grown upon us. In 1792, the charges on the Consolidated Fund were only 105,000, they had now increa s ed to 1,200,000. 'rite ex penses of the Anny , which were, 4,100.000, were now 17,666,0001. Jut although we had added to the expenses of our military esta blishment, yet these were not the only expenses to complain of. We had Weed the Civil List and all Civil List I ',Tenses. The pre sent Civil List Was formed on au average of 1814, and of 1815, two of the most extravagant years that had ever occurred, anti we now continued to pay- that extravagant rate, without even the least appearance of Blinieters advising the Crown to return a portion. of the money. Witten prime were rising, and when the expenses of the household were considerable, there was no difficulty on their part, in coming down to the Louse, but they never came down to reduce the expenses. He (Mr. Hume) never would think of supporting the dignity of the mown, whilst sate .and Uncle and starvation covered the land. Why was it tied we preferred a monarchy ? Because it was thought that we eojoyed under it more prosperity than under a democracy or aristocracy. During the hummer reign, from the year 1760 till the year 1814, notwithstanding vatious Acts, the minister of the crown came down no less than eight times and demanded assistance. In 1018 and another year were paid certain atrears of regency 'ex penses, amounting to 5 747,000% £1,653,060 was under the cog. nixance of the crown, and not under tile thermal of the crown.- The crown had had five millions and a half of money above what had been stipule. ed by us in the Act of Parliament. He &seated that faith had not been kept with the peo,de in regard to the civil let. Where was the money which had been raised front the crown beds ? There had been collected front the crown lands three millions of money, and not more than 5,0001. or 6,000/. had been paid to the revenue. These lards were under the control of a blend over whom the Lank had tio power—who did not obey the instruc tions of the house. I c would come to the palaces presently.—(A laugh.) The honoereble baronet who had submitted a motion the utter night had excluded all the matters which he (31r. Hume) was anxious to being before the house. Toe amount of the money which had been supplied in support of the crown would aimo,t double the amount of the civil hat ; and it was time fur the-neoPle, through their representatives, to interfere. Some technical Meet.- tions might be raised to this inteeference ; but as objections, when it was contemplated to do anything against the people were waived without difficulty, so on their part, ought the sante facility to be at. forded. In 1792, the civil list wee 29,0001. in 1825, 222,000/. The whole amount of the revenue of the mown lands was given'in the three last reports of the Finance Committee. In 1827, it was 270 0001. in 1828, 245,000 e. 'Dime were nineteen different reports, and ftom the extracts which lie had raade it appeared that a century ago, it was celeuleted the crown lands wire ea. gable of producing from 2,000/. to 3,000/. In the eeventeenen report, in 1700, it was stated that all the fee.fitims, if we , would peoduce 40,0001. and it was reasonable to expect tl ei the crown lands in stock, would produce 430,0e,1/ enyeen By allowing the rauney to remain in the heeds of a bu ild , 14 had been frittered away ; at any rate, the public lad 7.01 deli .id that benefit which they had a right to expect.
