SCOTCH AND IRISH SPIRIT DUTIES. Mr. HOME DRUM3IOND rose for the purpose of presentino a petition fmm the distillers of Scotland against the proposed addi tional duty of is per gallon on home-manufactured spirits. The hon. memberproceeded at some length to shcw the very great hard ship which would result to the distillers from this additional dirty on beme-distilled spirits, whilst no additional duty on runt was hp. posed, in order to protect the home market. In 1825, the posit g of the last regulation, a duty of Bs. 6d. was imposed on rum. alit* home spirits 7a. leaving a protecting duty in the favour of the It Atte distillers of Is.

A correct copy of the above Bill having bm read to this Council,, and all its parts and provisions having being fully discussed and considered, And this Council considering that In the question of Reform, it is not merely the abstract merit of any particular pion which ought to be attended to, but that due must necessarily be had to its practicability, and to the means re re r liting or conciliating all classes of the community to its support, without which there can be no security for any chin • and considering, also, that it is of the high est importance to the cause of the people that some general and effectual plan of Reform should be laid down, which the people may claim as their Constitutional and Legal Right, and which, whilst it restores the juats Rights and Interests of the Lower and Middle Classes of the community, may protect alike the just privi leges and immunities of the Upper Classes, and may in fact serve as a common rallying point for all ; and considering further, that in the selection of such general and effectual plan of Reform it Is desirable that no novel or dubious claims should be advan ced, and that it would weaken the cause of Reform to stir up any die. putable questions of political improvement, to which the people have no constitutional right, with whose indent, sacred, and undeniable Constitutional Rights, of which they have been unjustly and wrong fully deprived • and considering also that, under the present urgent circumstances Of the country, it is expedient that such plan of Reform should be so undeniably just, rightful, and conservatory, as to hold out the prospect of being carried speedily into effect, for the relief of the National Distress, and for the prevention of those tremen dous calamities which a continuance in the present measures of the Government cannot fail shortly to produce ; — and this Council fur. titer considering that the 'Marquis of B landfont's Bill does, in fact, unite and secure all these great objects in one common bond of union altogether ; considering that it seeks the happiness of the people through the broad, beaten, well-tried road through which our fathers travelled to Liberty, Prosperity, and Glory ; that it launches not out into the ocean of novelties, doubts. differences, and discord, but casts anchor, as it were, on the Rock of the Constitution, which never failed our fathers, and, under GoD's grace, can never fail us;—considering also that, under the present state of things, it is necessary to the interests of all, that all should make mutual concessions to each other, and forget their common rivalries, and unite together for the common safety ; and considering also that Universal Suffrage, in its full extent, is not a clear, de. fined, and acknowledged Constitutional Right, and that only seine few traces of it remain in the elections of Knights of the Shire 400 years ago, and scarce any traces of it remain in the election of Ci tizens an d Burgesses; and considering also that Annual Parlia ments are not a clear, acknowledged, and indisputable Camila clonal Right, and that it may be doubted whether they would work better for the People than their undeniable Constitutional Right to Triennial Parliaments, of which they have been wrongfully and unconstitutionally deprived ; and considering also that Vote by Ballot is not known to the Constitution, that it cannot be claimed as a Constitutional Right of the People, and that, how ever excellent it may be in itself, it may be calculated to weaken the cause of Reform, by miring tip a novel and disputable question of political improretwersi with ancient, undeniable, and Constitutional Rights; and considering further, that the doe. trines of Universes/ Suffrage, and Annual Parliaments, and Vole by Ballot, may be calculated to weaken the cause of Reform , by creating divisions in the UP P ER AND M ID DLE C LAS S ES of the Community, without producing any greater unanimity of additional teal among the LOWER CLASSES, or any other equivalent advan tage whatever ; and this Council considering further, that the Mar. quit of Blandford's Bill d o e s i n f a ct restore to the People all those great Constitutional Rights, Privikges, and Protections, which their forefathers posacased, but of which they have themselves been wrongfully deprived, and more especially that it—Dismisses all placemen from the House of Commons, agreeabl to the great CONSTITUTIONAL ACT OF SETTLEMENT, wh ich places the present FA3IILY upon the THRONE : 2nd- -That it repeals the Septennial Act, and gives back to the People their ancient and un. deniable Right to Triennial, or more frequent Parliaments, recog nised and secured by the great Constitutional Act the 6th of Wil. Ham and Mary, cap 2 : Sully—That It abolishes the qualification of property, as fixed unconstitutionally by the Act of Bth of Queen Anne, cap. 5, and restores the ancient and undeniable Right of AS tin; and voting as a Citizen or Burgess in the Commas' House of Parliament, to every individual among the Common People who may be lawfully chosen a member of that body : agree. ably to the ancient and undeniable laws of the land, it renders it imperative on the Citizens and Burgesses of the House of Com. mons to be in general real Citizens and Burgesses resident within the places which they represent, and consequently, ee -1 quainted and identified with their wants, feelings, and inter ests : bth—That secures the fidelity of such Citizens and Bur., gesses by putting in force the ancient Constitutional Law which' provides that all of them shalli receive a certain known, definite and reasonable payment from their Constituents, for good purposes.' instead of an nneertaia;unknown, and enormous payment fur bad purposes from the Government : 6th—That it makes effisctual pro ' vision for breaking up the rotten boroughs, and transferring the elective franchise to the great towns and districts now not repre sented, OT inefficiently represented : 7th—That it makes provision for greatly diminishing the enormous expence with which elections of Members of Parliament are so generally attended : fith—That it makes provision for securing the elective franchise to every house. holder in the United Kingdom, who may be :willing to contribute to the Poor's Rates, which every householder is in fact now liable to by lase ; and that by the general prosperity which it must natu rally produce it must so diminish the magnitude of the Poor Rates on the one ha nd, and so increase the means of the Lower Classes on the other, as to render the attainment of the elective franchise a matter of comparative facility to all, the difficulty in the way of such attainment being so far seduced as to serve rather as a slim. lass to virtue, than as a denial of justice:—and this Council consi dering further that these great and invaluable privileges are not ad., vanced as disputable points in the Marquis of Blandford's Bill, but that they are claimed, insisted upon, and demanded, as the ancient and undeniable Constitutional Right of the People ; ard considering finally, that it is of the highest importance to , success ia this great cause, that the People should make their stand on this just, legal, righteous, and unassailable ground ;—considering all these things, the POLITICAL COUNCIL OF THE Town or RIR3IINGIIAM, Unanimously resolve, Ist.—That the BILL or REFORM proposed to the !louse of Commons, by the MARQUIS Or BLANDFIMID, is admirably cal culated to accomplish its great object, that of "maiming the Con stitutional influence of the Commons, in the Parliament of England." 2nd. That it is calculated to effect this great object thoroughly and radically; at the same time, that it is strictly conservatory of all the just and Constitutional Rights and Immunities of the pri. vilegcd classes. 3d.-1 hat by strictly confining itself to the ancient, well-known, and undeniable RIGHTS or THE CONSTITUTION, it marks out and defines a SPECIFIC PLAN Or RADICAL REFORM, in sup port of ,which all opinions can unite, and all interests combine ; 'Vim of RADICAL REFORM in the obtainment of which the MIDDLE CLASSES may co-operate cordially with the LOWER CLASSES, without exciting the alarm of any portion of the [Terve CLASSES, who are not associated in the national plunder and op. presslon. 4th.—That it cuts up by the roots all the abuses and'etwruptionsi which the supineness of the People has allowed to grow . up and de form the face of the Constitution, and does in feet re:ffirm and re- construct the fair fabric of Laglish Liberty, as it existed lb the best tail happiest periods of Ertgfish History. sth.-:-:That, therefore, this Council is of opinion that the blahs GUIS or BLANDFORD'S BILL ought to beadopted as the common RALLYING Pots'r of the People, subject only to such alterations and additions as may be requisite for carrying its great provisions into effect.

Under the proposed system rum could be rectified and manufac. tared into gin at a less expense than from grain, and must be a:. tended with the ruin of the home manufactures. He did, therefore, hope that the chancellor of the Exchequer would give some Wit!. factory explanation of his views, in order to remove the very peat state of uncertainty and anxiety in which the distillers were placed. The petition was brought up. Mr. BROWNLOW said he held in his hand a similar petition. signed by six or seven distillers, as a depntati.rn representing the *We body of distillers in Ireland, who complained of similar din. acuities in which they were placed with the last. petitioners. He considered it was contrary to all precedent that the duty should Le retrospective, which affected those distillers most seriously who Iltd alntracts for delivery of large quantities of spirits, without has. I the slightest idea of an alteration in the duty. In the year 182:, the duty was not made retrospective, but only commenced at ti c passing of the act. He considered, in this respect, the distillery had great reason to complain. (Hear.) The honourable memb..; proceeded to point out the great increase in the consumpOrt of rum, which amounted, in the ye ar en di ng sth January, 11134. to 257 , 000 gallons more than the year immediately preceding. An advance in. barley had also taken place of Si. 9d. per ter'vfithia the last five years ; and it was impossible, under all t'.:• circumstances for the distillers to' bear competition with the W( Indies as the diaties were now levied.

EXPLANATION. • Mr. HIJAIE rose for the purpose of drawing the attention of the house, and more particularly that of the tight hon. baronet opposite (Sir Henry Hard in ge,) to a statement made in a Morning Paper which he then held in his hand. It was not often that he (Mr. Hume) troubled the house with any complaints of misrepresents. dons that regarded himself, nor was there any man who valued more the reports of the proceedings in that house than he did. He considered the reports of the debates, as the medium through which the country at large was made acquainted with what passed in that house, and extremely valuable to the public when given with accuracy ; and so far was he an advocate for reporting, that he intended to support the intended motion of his hon. friend (Colonel Sibthorp) for granting greater facilities and aecom. modation to the reporters; and he hoped that motion would not he abandoned. The paper he held in his hand, which was, generally speaking, as accurate as most, contained cue expression which excited very considerable surprise, as it al leged that the lie had been given by one honourable member to an other. (Hear.) The circumstance was so unlikely to have pawed without interference from the chair, that he was sure he had only to draw attention to it, in order to ha correction. The passage was given in the report of the debate on Lord Eilenborough's Divorce Bill on the preceding night, and made the right hon. baronet (Sir Henry Hardinge) may, " That the lie, therefore, that Lord Ellen borough had connived at his own disgrace was so monstrous, that he threw it back on its contemptible author." A gentleman bad called on him that morning, to inquire if any such expression had been used, and expressed his surprise, if it had been, that it should be passed over unnoticed by the chair, or any hon. member, for it amounted, in substance, to giving the lie from one member to another. He (Mr. Hume) had listened with the greatest attention to the whole debate, and did DOI recollect any expression approaching in description the one in quest km. Sir HENRY HARDINGE trusted the honourable member for Aberdeen, and the house, could not supple for a moment that he should have so far forgotten himself, as a member of that house and as a gentleman, to have made use of the expression attributed to him. What he said was in allusion to the false accusations which had been circulated against Lord Ellenborough, that he had been privy to his own dishonour; and the observation be (Sir 11. Hardinge) made was, he should treat the authors of those lies with the contempt they merited. He did not say author, nor did he make, or intend to make, any redaction on the honourable member for Aberdeen. The reports In the papas was, annuli) speaking. accurate—but there was: an error in the concluding paragraph of what he was alleged to have said. He was made to say, on the part of Lord Ellenborough, that if it could be shown that he had done any wrong, he would be the first man to come forward and atone for it." What be did say was, that if lie (Sir H. Harding.) had stated any thing that was 'ruing, he should be the that mats to come forward and acknowledge it. In conclusion, he could but ex press his regret that any misrepresentation of what be had said should have occasioned the hon. member a moment's unplearnant feeling. Here the conversation drepped.
