Whittaker, Ave Maria-lanes.. ; To BALLOT on the following QUESTION, viz. " That this Court is deeply impressed with the injustice and impolicy of the existing restrictions on the Sugar Trade of Bri tish le aia. " That these restrictions, while they operate most injuriously 0:1 the interests of the Merchants, the Ship Owners, the Sugar Refiners, and the Manufacturers of this Country, as well as on those of the British community at large, are perufiarly oppres s:ye and unjust towards our fellisw-sulijects in India, and bighty detrimental to the interests of the East India company, not e:dy as a Commercial Body, but in eimneetion witia the prospe rity of the dominions placed under their goverment. " That, as the inhabitants of British India have the strongest claims on the protection of the East India Company, it is the slaty of this Court to afford their energetic support to all mea sures that have a tendency to promote the prosperity of the vast population over whom they preside, and who are equally enti tied-with every other class Ni British subjects to the favourable consideration of the British Legislature. " That it appears to this Court, that since the repeal, by the Acts of last Session of Parliament, of thy restrictions formerly imposed on the West India trade, no pretension exists for any excltsive protection to the sugars of the Weet India Colonies against those of British India.. " That as the present unequal duties on the sugars of the East anti West Indies terminate in March, 1824,- this Court do earnestly recommend to the immediate attention of the Court of Directors the necessity of using their strenuous efforts with his Majesty's Ministers to obtain an equalization of the said duties. " That should these efforts prove unsuccessful, contrary to the just expectations of this Court, the Court of Directors be re quested and enjoined to present petitions, in the name and on behalf of the East India Company, to both /louses of Parlia ment, praying for an equalization of the duties on Ellat and W'esr India Sugars, and fur permission to be heard by Counsel before the two houses of Parliament respeviyely, in support of their claims."

It appeared that 42.1 Appeal causes nn their table, remain undecided. He gave credit to the Noble and Learned Lord for diligence, but he thou:lit it was impossible I for the Nobl e a nd Learned Lord to get rid of the aercar in less than seven years. In the year 1821, 36 causes were-decided. In 1629, 3i; and p-acoeding in the same ratio, it would take seven years to get rid of the excess. Under the present State of their judicial business, he might ash what hope the subjects of ibis country could have of obtaining justice? It was impossible without some measure was adopted of a remedial descriptiontant justice could be done. The Noble Earl observed, by the ratifier on the table, that the Appeals from Scotland were live to one, compared with those of +England. To gee rid of the super abundance of produce (a laugh) from that part of the United Kingdom, something must be done. He considered the subject of greet importance, and expressed a hope that the Noble and Learned Lord would bring the question under cousideraion. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the papers to which the Noble Earl had alluded, were laid on the table in consequence of a motion made by himself, and it was his Intention ' after the recess, to bring the subject before the - House. De did not wish to discuss the matter on that occasion; but their Lordships must be aware that in 1813 the subject came under their considers , lion. The House came to a resolution to sit three Ames a week ter the purpose of getting rid of, the arrear of Appeals. The House and the Noble Lori!' on the Woolsack did their duty, yet soiwY he was to say, that the evil, instead of being diminished. had been-aggravated. Important, however, as the queirtion of arrear might be, it was small with reference to another view of the subject. They bad heard of delay in Chancery. ft was fre quently said, that suits did not go on with sufficient dispatch ; but hcwever that might be, the whole Mat' of the evil was the increase of Appeals in that House. If they would get rid of the ,Scotch Appeals, the Lord Chancellor would have time to dis eisitie the important duties of his Court The Noble Earl had Ittlly'Stated that the Scotch Appeals were as five to one. From the nature of Scotch Law, the time taken to decide th...ir causes exceeded the,time necessary for lunglish or Irish Appeals. He should feel it his duty to bring the question forward in order to have Willi! arrangement Made. They could not get rid of the iiffilatlty without tnaltlnk some ilterittion, which Would put the buftineos of the Court of Cbancecy and the judicial burl:sees tot that House in a way.to.aeor4 delay. Eta after the recess the Noble Earl slid he should call the attention of the House to the subject, and he coneladed lip moving 6 That the Returns' be printed fcir the inforrnition•orthdr tordshiPh"—Ordered.

Without entering into the question of the policy, of expediency of the war, he might say no person under . the circumstances of that war, could - expect to carry, the principle of a Sinking Fund to the full extent—. It was true that those principles had not been carried: into execution to the extent they would have been• under different circumstances, but notwithstanding all he had heard front high authority in the way of objection to the measure, lie was still convinced that this.country owed its means of carrying on the late wars, to.the endeavour made to give effect to theirri , portant principles of a Sinking-hind. It h.* been !thought desirable to ascertain what was the state of the country and the Revenue before Pailiament should come to any settled system. Ile was ready to admit that the only real Sinking Fund in time of peace was a dear excess of income oats the expen diture. In ti me of war different considerations might arply, like those on which the 2,kct of 1792 bad mi. ginallypassed. . lie knee that various opinions pre. .sailed on the subject. Some maintained that a Sinking Fund was wise in tinge of peace, but not in time of war. Others considered it of much greater importance in war than daring peace. .Without !ri tering into the merits of those separate questions, he ' fully admitted the great adirantage of having a real Sinking Fund during peace, consisting of-an excess of Revenue taken, not on the produce of one single year, but on afar average of several years. • hi the year 181,9 the House of Commons had passed a serie of Itesohrtions on which certain.measutes of taxatior, had been adopted, which formed the basis ef the Ili3 before their Lordships.

This year there was a surplus of £7,200,000, and the line of policy in some degree already sanctioned by their Lordships, had been to repeal taxes to the amount of two millions two hundred thousand pounds, and to form a Sinking Fund of the remaining five millions, according to the Resolutions of the year 1819. . After having read almost all that had been written on the sultject, in print and in manuscript, and having heard the sentiments of the men best able tolorm a right judgment, his opinion was triode up as to the. prop pricty of maintaining a Sinking. Fund. Adherence to it was absohitely necessary, unless it could be sup posed th?t this country should never be compelled to engage is war again. However desirous all must be to remain in a state of peace as long as it should be consistent with the honour and safety of the country, it mtist be evident to every one, that any system of policy, not grounded on the possibility of future wars, must rest on a rotten foundation, and prole a most likely cause of the rise of such wars. Future events could not be expected to differ much from the past. They must consist of an alternation of war and peace, and what would be the situation of this country if it always increased its debt in time of war, and never diminished it in time of peace? Such a course must terminate in her ruin. It would not be effected by the first, the second, or the third war, but it must eventually lead to a complete change of property. Every man of common sense must see that if the supplies could not be raised within the year during the war, some provision must be made to clear away the debt in time of peace. With all the experience which he had acquired during the last thirty years which he had been in Parliament, and after taking every minute view of the subject, he must support the principle of a Sinking Fund ; not certainly of an indefinite one, for beyond a certain amount it might . be attended with evils; but a Sinking Fund restricted to a limited extent would, he was convinced, be pro ductive of great advantages both in peace and war. It had been a consideration whether war impoverished a country ; but that consideration was not true as far as it related to England. Never bad she been . impo• veril.hed by any war in which •she had possessed the command of the sea. If a country became the seat of war, it might be impoverished whilst it lasted.; but looking at our maritime superiority, it was an nn doubted fact that thiecounttry had been enriched by war. ller wealth in every branch had encreased to an enormous extent, lot o'er timing the last tar, but in that of 1756; and whenever she had enjoyed a maritime• supra iority. For'sver acted es a mighty stimulus, creating artificial markets and artifieial-ess pease'. But solicit he said that he did not mean to assatt.aast wars Were not calamities. .He considered them ac such, on the coutrarre became of the great thareges, and revolutions-which they produced in pro . party,- in- proportion to their own extent. For there was not merely a change from- peace to war, but afterwards one from Warn() peace, and.inthe course of the last contest hilted been seen that the property of the Fuudhoklers had been iditninished'nearly one half. Thic might be partly ascribed-to the measure by which the Bank stopped- cash payments; hut he thought it would have happened to nearly the-came extent, if that measure had not been' adopted. Their Lordships had also seen Agriculture make during the last war such fit; ides as it had sever made before, and rents rise to an elevation which they had never previously attained. They had since beheld the re tro-active principle in full force, and the value of landed property diminish. He considered a perma nent Sinking Fund to a definite extent and likelyto be maintained a ol. o r important measure to prevent the difficulties and dangers. of those alterations from peace to war. Sapposiag that aliinking Fund existed, of sufficient magnitude •to .carry- on the i expenses of an ordinary war, the result would be that thebrealc. ing out et such a war would be attended with no new loans, no new -taws,• and no change of property. • If this utee.4tue of a Sinking Fund to that extent, it wooldbe espial,/ ante to whatever extent that Sink ing Fund might exist; for it-must have the effect of prnportionahly diminishing the evils of those alterna zi,.w;s• lions war to peace. It had been recommended be the opponents of that system, that five millions - of t..aes should be taken off during peace, and laid on „ o air, if a new war should ari se; b u t t hi s course would encrease the evils of the alternation, whilst rr uch good must be produced by a Sinking Fund, hick would reduce the debt in time of peace, and in time o f w a s would lighten its charges. He would Jot wish, however, that rt should be carried to an in efinite extent, oh account of the injurious effect s hick it might have on the capital-W . the -country ; and because, if-carried so far, it- would be less likely tc remain sacred in time of war, whilst, if it- were smaller, it would be nava- Tbat•was in-fact ;he ori ginal principle on which, a Sinking Fund had been established by Mr. Mt. ; It.ostais Ascended that it should accumulate -till '-ntmlatsci•four , ionsi, .tursi,- then Moth : , liew,faeoomtiliMirso wissi -the sum 44e4 ,Aviiitipeat4ntielr , proieset AKA* e,..ab0 1e ., ; foray Will 4, ,i*folli c op t skte?,*rigicial..in4wtifski. on 40 ,1 4! ditso4 l .4ol 6 s4lllM 4 lstablikrdeoad- would • litSda W 40,4 0 1(74 1 4-oSePlivii4 44 , 13115rit t5J 1 441414+41 sdlids•olltiarentakistOn eirmarof tiWPAILIRWIN I•34 46, 4 o ‘ 4l4 eielleeltitsad•po trnd Mn 444 Ataitafaer oik• geavtiosiom 41490,00 e TAiefiAtlPAOtilquablikilfrit OindlOStAve 144140... 41e. /POW dkft% ii lirene 10740104iNemoe ail44 APPAlWONiscitAnOrt7WAriebe,N Wet- stn e sir e ' C - ,7144144041 11 :1444/o"WallelitritiltwitilideisiiatOot twai L l 40110404$111g•kit • 04,41111 6410 1 11•44100 Pe - f lied f, eairrytir.4_l - ';4110 --- 14 . asi at ne* Acid f f : 4 1 , 47=1:27 5 7 04t0d u a1b • 1 0 4 bei4444."114124i Aii;l; swot. uoghNota9 • ?rf S O 3 .. e 4 JEW ;go 41t1 istnt4o4 p eve:2o c-. 11 .
