Sir ROBERT WILSON took that opportunity of asking the Right 1-Don. Secreary for the Home Department, whether a re gulation had not been made by the Magistrates, in consequence of which, individuals imprisoned for small debts in Coldbath fiehls Prison were treated as felons, not being allowed to see their friends, except.once a week, and then only foe an hour? Mr. Secretary YELL stated that he had received complaints relative CO certain alleged abuses in the Government of Cold bath-fielda Prison. and as that prison was under the direction of the Magistrates of the District, he had communicated with them on the sulijeet, and some new arrangements were making, Mr.. MITCHELL presented a Petition from the Shipowners of Hall, engaged it. the Rehr ing's Straits Whale Fisheye, praying for an increase in the ILty tarn Tallow.—Laid, on the table. Mr. CURW EN presented a Petition from the Graziers of Wiltshire, praying for additional Duties on Foreign Tallow.

A Return - of the Extraordinary Expenses of the Army was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. LUSIIINGTON presented some Papers relative to the Navy Pay Office.—Ordered to be printed. Sir JOHN NEW PORT gave notice of a motion for to-mor row, for the production of a Letter, writteu by the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, on the subject of the First Fruits. Mr. GOULBU lAN hoped the Honourable Baronet would postpone his motion, as it was impossible his memory could be so accurate as'to remember the contents of this out of the many letters hi wrote to Ireland, to enable'him to support or oppose the motion. Sir JOHN NEWPORT then postponed his notice to to morrow sennight. Sir HEN ItY PA RNELL presented a Petition from the Clerk of the Peace in the County of Monaghan, praying for a commu tation of the Fees of Office into Salary.,-.Ordered to be printed.

The Ilimourable Member also stated, that he bad abandoned his intention of making a motion on the subject of the Post master-General of Itieland, having heard that it was to form part of the labour of the Commissioners of Inquiry. ' 44 1 11,1191G 1 11t1 14E asked when the alteration in the Dis tillery taws wad iitteholed to take place in Ireland? The etrANSTELLOIR of the EX CII EQU ER meant to have ststedicirra (+draws' ocewdoo, that, without pretending to name the.presise•daY, he' did not think the alteration could possibly begio to operlc before the 10th of October. On the motion of Mr. Brea for the second reading of the Shadwell Church Bill. )lair: BENN r.T moved that it be read this day six mouths; awebe ground that the Bill had been unfairly intro ' dticeilitito the Mouse, -after the notice of a different party to the said effect. Mr: Stexer WOUTLFY and Mr. CA , supported the AnseVidlitebt; and after a short conversation, in which Mr. Illatevrixv, Mr. I). Ciii.arar, and Mr. Bests, participated, the gallery Was 'cleated for a division. No division, however, took place t he Amendment being carried without. The SPEAKER took occasion tb impress upon the House, that it was an errsneous notion to suppose that any party giving notice of an intention lo apply for leave to bring in a Bill, could thereby preclude any other'party front making a similar, or any other application on the' same subject to the House. The ob vious abuse of such a state of things would be, that those who wished to prevent any measure front being sanctioned by Par- Ramert, might do so by giving a nugatory notice early in the Session. . In answer to a question from Colonel BAGRIU.X., The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that it *ay his intention to assimilate the mode of collecting the Leather ' Tax ir. Ireland to that in practice in England. Mr. eitLenArr said, that If the Chancellor of the Exche quer Meant to do no more than he stated with respect to the' Ifish Leather Tax, it would remain as objectionable in Ireland as it was at present, To assimilate the colleition of that Tax to the English mode would be to place it under the Excise.— l'he whole tax was but £300,000, and so long as it remained artier the Excise, it would be felt as an onerous tax to the Ma r t.facturer and to the Public. •He therefore gave notice that at the lot of May he should move fur the total repeal of the Leather Tax. Nit. BLACKBURN presented a Petition from Lancashire aeaiust the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Mr. JOHN SMITH would be glad to knew if the Chancel lor of the Exchequer had applied his mind to this very Impor tant subject, and if it was his intention to propose any ameliora tion- of the law as it now stood? The CHAN'CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not say that he had any such inttettion. He admitted the importance of the subject ; but thoaght it was rather a matter for iudividual exertion, than for him in his official capacity. After the lobo.' rictus exertions and many experiments of his Noble Friend (Lord Althoro, he was rather, deterred, than otherwise, from turning tilt attention to the subject, with the little leisure he had front the pressure of other duties. . Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the Crown Lawyers, who had so often corn* forward fa that House to oppose the resell* of privite exertion far the anwhoretion of the law, ought to propuie something totremedy the crying defects of this part of the Statute low. • ; !air. BRIGHT hoped to hear of some such Intention from the Attorney-General, who .wiipt then in the House. , The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should most wil lingly "Rend to the suggestion of any one on this important sub ject ; at the same time, he should rather decline originating any new law on the subject, In favour of Those who, by a more in timate acquaintance with that particular branch of the law, %ern-better qualified than himself. Sir JOHN •BOUG HEY seggeded to the Attorney-tseneral the propriety of :mending the law oa this subject; so far as to idmit of the debtoe's life bring insured, to pay the expenses - of . bringing him up to Leaden, and *homes, which expense. at ,resent fell upon the c reditors. • Th e Petition wasiatsiered to be I.llLon the table. A similar Petition to the above was presented from Bridge water.—. Laid on the table. NATIONAL DZIIT REDUCTION BILL. TheCHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for. khe House going into a Committee on this Bill. Mr. GRENFELL availed - himself of this oppor tunity to makka few observations en the subject of the Sinking Fund. Although he approved of the measure now brought forward by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, by which that sham Sinking Fund was put an end to, he did not think it would be altogether useless to point out some of the errors which had mai ked the system of managing that part lof our Finance System for so long a period. The louse would recollect that the original Sinking Fund Act was passed in 1786, and that a clause had been introduced into it by Mr. Fos, that the Commis sioners for the Redemption of the National Debt, should be allowed to apply any money in their hands to contract for any loan. This, in his opinion, was a most wise and providential clause. Instead, how ever, of Ministers acting in the spirit of this clause, their mode was directly the reverse. From the year 1793 to 1819, they had been persuaded, and unfor tunately they had also persuaded that House, that it was advantageous to the country to borrow annually a loan of some millions; and for this loan they gave 'to the Contractors, an article which they all knew very well by the name of 3 per Cents. With this money, which they had thus raised from the Con tractors by giving them 3 per Cents. they sent the Commissioners into the market to re-purchase that identical 3 per Cent. Stock. Now, if this strange system had been innoxious in its operation, it would not so much have signified that the Minister had pur sued 'a course marked by absurdity. But when it appeared, which by papers he could thew, that the effect of it was to create, by the four last loans, a positive loss to the public, to the extent in perpetual annuities of 268,0001. it became matter of more serious consideration. One occasion in the course of this loan-raising system had occurred which illus trated what he advanced. On this occasion the ge neral anticipation was, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer meant to raise a loan of 24 millions. At the meeting which always preceded the contracting for the loan, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, for the first time, that it was his intention to follow the mode recommended by Mr. Fox, so that instead of 24 millions he should want only 12 millions. The effect of this intimation was, that the Funds rose im mediately from 65 to 71. The difference thus to the ' public between the one mode and the other was up wards of three millions of money. Upon this calcu lation it followed, that if Ministers had pursued this plan from 1793 to 1819, there would have been a saving of fifty millions to the public. For his own part he begged to say, that he was friendly to the system of maintaining a surplus Revenue in a coun try, and, above all, to the accumulation of a Surplus he was a warm friend. He must say he was sur prised at the doctrines held by his Hon. Friend, the Member for Portarlington (Mr. Ricardo). He de clared he had no objection to a Surplus Revenue, but would not agree to its accumulation in the shape of a Sinking Fund, least some rapacious Minister in future times might lay his hands upon it. Now, he did not see that it was clearly made out that any Minister was likely to misapply this fund, seeing that he could not lay his hands upon it without the sanction of Parliament, and also of the Public at large, whatever might be his rapacity—(Hear).— Supposing, however, that the money was so laid hold of, if it were applied beneficially for the coun try, he asked whether this was not of itself a sufficient argument in favour of the accumulation? In 1814, he had been one of those'who supported Mr. Vansit tart's plan, which was the greatest inroad that had ever been made on the Sinking Fond. He did so be cause he thought the nation overtaxed, and wished to give them breathing time. The Minister did on that occasion avail himself of this Fund, and the con sequence was, that the people were relieved from taxation for three years. This, in his opinion, was a demonstration of the efficacy of the Sinking Fond. In speaking of the errors of his Honourable Friend's (Mr. Ricardo) judgment, he did so under the convic tion that when there was a difference of opinion be tween them, he could not more oblige him than by stating the grounds of their difference. Of his Ho nourable Friend's scheme to pay off the National Debt, by making the whole capital of the country contribute towards its liquidation, he wished to say, that he thought it one of the wildest be had ever read of. How could he devise a.plan which shottld have the recommendation of justice, and adjudge in what proportion every species of property should contri bute? The leasehold, the Funds, and freehold pro perty, might be easy—but what other property, be wanted to know ? But that was not the whole of the difficulty. He wanted to know, after such a plan should be devised, would it be possible by persuasion or force to induce every man to come forward and sacrifice a portion of his property towards paying off the trifling sum of eight hundred millions? It ap peared to him useless to entertain such an expecta tion. Neither could be agree with his Honourable Friend the Member for Aberdeen in - his notion, that because the Sinking Fund,had not actually extin guished a portion of the Debt during a certain num ber of years, therefore it had been inoperative. With regard to the case put by that Honourable Member, of a man with a debt of 10,0001. and living at the rate of 5001. per annum, he begged to say, that if upon each fresh loan of I,OOW. the steward raised the rents from the estate 601. higher, by the time the debt arrived at 20,000/. the income of the estate would be raised to 1,6004 a year, in the same way as the income of this country had been raised by taxation. In conclusion, he begged to say he should give his warm support to this Bill, and to every measure tending to sustain a real surplus revenue. Mr. JOHN SMITH was at variance with his Honourable Friend who had just sat down, upon some points in his doctrine. For instance, although the Sinking Fund was borrowed in the way he had stated, yet in the opinion of the Contractors, it] tended to sustain public credit, and then the Minister. was enabled to obtain better terms. • With regard,to the incident alluded to by his Honoorablei Friossti,, he (Mr. Smith) always had been of opinion that it was an act of great decision, Ad highly creditable tb the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wasl convinced,- had not the war ended, we should not have been able .to go on borrowing for two years longer. We must have had recourse to some other system of Finance. He gave I est . • lows& / teethe fill before the House. 3 II • • 1 1 Sir HENRY PARNELL'saii, that if the present situation of the country were such that it could not bear the taxes which must necessarily he paid to form a Sinking Fund, he should oppose the present Bill. He however could not say that he thought the coun try incapable of bearing a Sinking Fund. Our com merce and manufactures were admitted on all hands to be in a most flourishing state, and he believed al great change to have taken place with respect to the agricultural classes. He assented to the proposition before the house, hut with some qualifications. Ile , wished the sum which could he spared for a Sinking Fund to be applied to converting the permanent into annuities determinable within a certain period, and at the same time he wished care to be had to raise such surplus in the way which would be least an noying and least injurious to the people. Ile was of opinion that Government ought . to look over every establishment with a view to ascertain whether still further reductions could•not be made; were this done lie believed our expenditure might be very consider ably reduced. If care were taken to give up those taxes which were most oppressive, and to retain those which were least injurious, he thought great relief might be afforded. The principle to be kept in view should be this, to interfere as little as possible with the further accumulation of capital in the country. He hoped the half-pay.annuity plan would be abandoned, as, to keep that up, would make it necessary to take a very extraordinary course, by diminishing debt with, one hand, while creating it with the other. Mr. RICA ItDO said, a plan like that suggested by his Honourable Friend, would do away many of his objections to a Sinking Fund. To make the per manent annuities determinable at the end of a given number of years, appeared to him a very desirable measure, and one that deserved the serious attention of the House. He defended the objections which he had formerly urged against keeping up a Sinking Fund on the present plan. The Right Hon. Gentle man had described him to have admitted, by the case he had supposed, in a late debate, of the situation of a person with a thousand a year, under certain cir cumstances, that the Public Debt was less in amount than it would have been if we had no Sinking Fund at all. He gave the Right Hon. Gentleman great credit for his ingenuity in taking that to be conceded which was the only point in dispute. He had never made the supposed admission. His objection to a Sinking Fund was, that it placed a large sum in the hands ef.Government, and thus encouraged a profuse expenditure. The Right Hon. Gentleman supposed that if the Sinking Fund were given up, and the mo ney which was to form it left in the bands of its pre sent holders; it would hot increase. They supposed that the capital of a Proprietor could not . be im proved in his hands, as it might be in those of his Steward. For his pal t he was wholly of a different opinion, and therefore he wished the money of the People to be left in their pockets. Mr. HALDIMAND thought, as it was admitted that the amount of our clear surplus did not exceed 3,000,0001. to talk of its being equal to 5,000,0001. was to raise a delusion, and to take credit for two millions more than we had a right to take credit for. He differed from those who thought it would be well to have no Sinking Fund at all. The public creditor had waited long for a real Sinking Fund. During the war, nothing but the .form of one, or the ma chines.), as it had been called, had been kept up. He therefore thought it but justice to the public creditor, that some poi tion of that surplus Revenue which was at length gained, and for which he had waited so long, should be applied to the reduction of the debt. Would Ministers be able to borrow on the same terms, supposing them to want a loan, if they had no Sink ing Fund, as they could obtain while they possessed one? It was known that they could not, and there- foie he was of opinion that in the long run the Public lost nothing by a Sinking Fund. He contended it was a fallacy to suppose that the debt had been created for the , benefit of the Stockholders. It had been contracted for the service of the Public, and the good faith of the nation was pledged to the public creditor.. He should vote for the proposition of the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mr. MONCK was of opinion, that a Sinking Fund was useless in the present state of the country, and thought it would be for the interest of the public cre ditor, that taxes to the amount of the existing Sinking Fund should be remitted; as for his security, it was not enough that the necessary taxes should be raised, but that they should be paid with good humour.— He hoped no attempt would be made to pay off the Three per Cents. in time of peace, when their price might be £BO, £ 9O, or . £ lOO. It would be ruinous to the country to pay such stuns for Annuities which they had sold for £6O. It would be better to apply any surplus Revenue that we might possess to pay off the unfunded debt, and to discharge those securities which must be paid at par. Mr. HUME objected to a Sinking Fund on the present plan, as it was always given when called for to the Government, almost without opposition. From that Fund, which had beep so many years accumu lating, not less than £324,000,000 had been taken. Whatever sum might be in future set apart for a Sinking Fund, he wished to see applied to convert ' our permanent charges into Long Annuities. The question was then put and carried, and the House resolved itself into a Committee. Mr. HUME objected to the proposition for fixing the Sinking Fund at the sum of £5,000,000, as, in the event of there not being a clear surplus to that amount, the deficiency must be made up by increasing the unfunded debt, and thus they would return to the old delusive system. 7 2 - • Mr. G R ENFgl4l4'*ished tt;'i!tclii , s4 .

The war faction amongst us continues active; and exhibits such a want of truth and candour its pro ceedings as can only arise from the very worst of motives.
