Lord Gaarrettur Someasee, Sir Cnatseornsa Cox; and other Members of the Went of Commons, • brought up two Private Bills, which were read a first time. On the motion of Lord Aportarizi, the Bid for regulating the Lighting and Paving of the City of Durham, was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, be held in his hand a Petition from an individual who was unknown to him; but the subject of it had some relation to a Bill then before the House, for the registry of deeds. The Petitioner stated, that be had been nearly wined by losses, in ionaequence of a marriage set tlement' 'and prayed that provi s i o n mi g ht b e mad e t o p revent such In future.—Ordered to lie on the able. The Noble Marquis said, he conceived it necessary that when any important Petition was intended to be presented to that House r their Lordships ought to be previnudy apprised of it ; and with that impression, he should give notice that a Noble Duke, a friend of his, meant on Friday next to preterit a Peti tion from a greet body of respectable persons in Ireland, rela tive to the system of tithes in that country; and that he him self should at the same time present another Petition to the same effect. REDUCTION OF TUE FIVE PER CENTS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the reading of the Order of the Dal for sammoning their Lord shipg ; which being read, the Noble Eatl said, that in rising to move the second reading of the Bill then before the House, he felt it necessary to make some observations respecting its nature and object, and 'he conceived the best way of making himself intelligi ble would be by a concise statement of the principal features of the measure. First of all he must say, he had not the least doubt that it was adopted ni a prin ciple of good faith, and on that ground it was the duty of the Government to pursue the course it had now taken. The only, question then was, whether they could proceed in it consistently with good faith towards the holders of Five per Cent. Stock ? When this Stock was created, after the American war, there was a condition set forth in an Act of Parliament that the same should not be paid off until meaty five millions of the National Debt were redeemed. From that time until 1793, when the war broke nut, it was in the power cf the Government to pay off the 4 per cents. During the same period, which was a period of peace, about ten millions of the Debt had been redeemed by the operation of the Sinking Fund ; and the question now was, whether by the continued operation of that fund, debt to the amount of twenty five millions had been redeemed so as to fulfil the condition entered into with the holders of the Stock ? His opinion decidedly wag, that the condition had been fulfilled ; for previously to the year. 1793, ten millions had been redeemed, and after that nineteen millions more and upwards were redeemed ; so that on such redemption taking place the Government would have been justified by law in paying off the Stock in question. But there was another circum stance which occurred during the war, which would have amounted to a fulfilment of the condition ; he meant the redemption of the Land Tax. •It might be said that the money on that occasion was raised on the landowner. But money must be raised somewhere, in all cases where a fund was to be created for paying off a particular debt. After what he had now stated, there could be no question as to the fact of twenty-five millions of the Debt having been redeemed. It might be said, that as by an Act of George H. the 3 per cents. could not be paid off without giving three months' notice to the holders, a similar principle ought to be acted on in this instance ; that Act, however, did not prevent the Government from paying off any portion of the 3 rer cents. without notice, provided the holders of it con sented. At all events it could not apply to the case now before their Lordships, in which the only contract was, the redeeming twenty-five millions of the Debt. The Act stated nothing more, and therefore the Go vertiment had a clear right to pay off without giving any notice whatever. But he was not bound to rest solely on that part of the question ; he would go to the equity of the case—and the best proof he could give of the equitable course the Government was now pursuing was the opinion of the Five per Cent. Fund holders themselves. By referring to the state of the Funds at different periods, and making a comparison between the prices of each, this opinion would clearly appear. At the time when the 3 per cents. were at 98, there was nothing like a proportionate rise in the Five per Cents. According to the several rates of interest, they should have been at 130 per cent. but they never got so high, and the reason was that the holders always knew they were redeemable. There was no doubt in the world then as to the right in question ; and if there had been a doubt he was justified in taking into consideration the general un derstanding which prevailed among the Five per Cent. Fundholders, that their Stock was redeemable at anytime, and the prices of their Stock were regu lated accordingly. There was not a Banker or a Broker in London who did not know this to be the case; and who could not calculate at all times on the advantages which the punch asers of Stock might de rive from purchasing in the 3 per cents. or Five per Cents. This fact, lie thought, would be sufficient to set the question at rest, so far as regarded the equi table legality of the proposed measure. He should now come to the mode of' carrying the measure into effect. It was by calling on persons to signify their dissent, and by implying that all who did not do so assented to the measure. Now, he would put it to the House whether this.was not an equitable and an expedient mode of proceeding? A similar course had been pursued at the time of the Consolidation Act, 'when it was implied that all who did not give their dissent had"assented to the measure. The same thing was done with respect to the Long Annuities. The principle now acted upon was warranted by pre cedent, and no individual could have any difficulty in making up his mind on the subject. He could not, therefore, see any necessity for delay, which, on the other hand, would produce great inconvenience, by the encouragement it would hold out to stock jobbing speculations. On that ground, then, he would maintain that it was expedient to cart y the measure into effect with as Mlle delay as possible.— . • I 1 K ICE SEVIN-PENCE. Asto theobjection that had been made on the ground of negotiations pending with foreign Powers, there was nothing in the state of those negociaions to in duce him to postpone the measure ; and he should be ready to advise his Majesty to repeat the same words now, with respect to Russia and Tur key, which • he had delivered in his Speech at the opening of the Session. This, however, he would state to the House, that if there were anything in the present situation of Europe, or in our relations with foreign Powers, which might in likely to involve this country in a war, his opinion would be that the measure under the consi deration of the House ought not to be adopted.— But without holding out any expectation of the man ner in which the negotiations might terminate, or calculating on what might happen in the course of some years, he would now assure their Lordships, that since the year 1816 there was no period hi which we were less likely to be engaged in a war than the present, and in which there appeared a greater pro bability of a continuance of peace—(Near, hear). He therefore saw no time more fit for this measure than the present. It was one which' would produce a saving of £1,300,000 to the country ; and there was nothing in the situation of the country that could obstruct it. Then, when their Lordships considered the increase that had taken place in the Revenue last year, and the still greater increase which might hereafter be expected—for it was progressively increasing—he was sure they must feel that so large a saving made in the public burdens would produce a great public good; although he would not deny that it must be accompanied by a sacrifice to some individuals. That a great public good would result from the measure must be evident horn the abortive attempts that had been made by some few individuals to defeat it. On these grounds he trusted their Lordships would agree to the motion for the second reading of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR, said, that in conse quence of what had fallen from the Noble Earl (Grey) on the preceding night, when his opinion was called. for as to a point of law connected with this case, he felt it his duty to - address their Lordships. No ore. could entertain a doubt that the Five per Cent. Funds were redeemable; and the fact was always known to the holders of them from the constant price they have in the market. Such had been the impression on this subject in the Court where he presided, and where they were so much in the habit of considering the Five per Cents: as subject to redemption, that unless a testator partic - slarly directed that the property of infants should either remain or be vested in these Funds, they held it to be their duty to put all such property into the Three per Cents. as being a Stock not likely to be altered, and where property must always be most valuable. With respect to the Act of the 24th Geo. 111. on the preceding night a doubt had been expressed in another place, whether three months novice should not be given to all holders of Five per Cent. Stock, as well as to these whose pro perty was vested in the Court ?—to this he would answer,. that there was no such provision in the Act of Geo. 111. The chief question on which he should now give his opinion vas, whether 25 millions of the Public Debt bad been redeemed according to the provision of the Act of Geo. III.? On that Feint he must say, that the Legislature could never have so fat forgot its duty, as not to have contemplated the possibility that a debt might be paid off on one hand and created on another. If ho were then requited to give an cpinion en this question, he would say, that 25 millions of debt bad actually been paid off; that such was the understanding of the holders of the Five per Cents.; and that understanding on the part of the holders was, pro 'auto, an argument that such had been the opinion of the Legislature—namely, that the tedemption cf 25 millions was a fulfilment of the condition stated in the Act, although more debt might afterwards have been created. But he would go farther, and maintain that the redemption of the Land Tax was a redemption of deLt. This was his opinion, and in stating it he was actuated by the purest motives. With regard to the political pact of this question he would not trouble the House with one word upon it. He had no motive in addressing the House,but to give his opinion on the law of the case. Earl GREY declared, that in what lie had stated on the preceding day, and what he was then about to state, his only object was, to save tile House front that stain which would rest upon its character, if a measure of this kind were carried through with m utual precipitation. He had stated his doubts yes terday respecting the law of the case, and now felt himself bound to express his obligation to the Noble Earl on the Wooliack, for the pains he had taken to clear av:ay any difficulties that *eight re.t on that part of the question. It was not his wish to obstruct the success of the present measure; but, on the Coe trary, to promote any plan that might reduce the in terest of money, and relieve the Public from the pressure of the burdens under which they laboured. But if doubts remained • t the iniiids of their Lord ships, it was their duty to allow time for the consi deration of the subject; and also to give time to those who were likely to be affected by the measure to de fend their interests. The Noble Lord opposite had admitted that these funds could net be paid off, until twenty-five millions of Debt were redeemed. The question then was, whether this sum had been so discharged as to give tarliament a light to pay off this fund ? He telt great difficulty in opposing any legal opinion corning from the Noble Earl on the Woolsack ; but the Noble Earl must admit that it was a Lone fide, and not a constructive payment of debt, which must have been contemplated by the Legislature; and had there heen a bonape discharge of the debt? The fact was, that while more than twenty-live millions were discharged, a much greater cn t i he r , ti t t l y ia s t if tw D e e n h t t s li ti a v d e b m ee il n lio c n rc s . a o te f dn ea Debt ti id it be i l adbeen st d dd is. , charged? The Noble Lord on the 'Woolsack s. iI it w.ts; first, by the Oper scion of the Snaring Funi, and next by the redemption of the Land Tax. He would ask, then, if these redemptions could be con.
