DR. PARIS ON DIET. FOURTH EDITION, ENLARGED. This day was Published, in Bvo. Price 10s. 6d. A TREATISE on DIET: with a view to establish, on practical grounds, a System of Rules for the Prevention and of the Diseases incident to a Disordered State of the Digestive By J. A. PARIS, M.D. F.R.S. Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. Th.: information which it contains is important, and in very many instances altogether new ; the arrangement is judicious, and as it should !)e—the style popular and familiar.' —Trines Journal. Printed for G. Underwood, 32, Fleet-street. Hl: Royal Family, Nobil4s , Ladies, and Gentlemen, T are respectfully informed, that PRINCE's celebrated RUSST A %/IL is proved the only article that will prevent the HAIR falling df or turning grey, and if begun to change, by using it often, will, in a short time, restore it to its natural colour, and is the best article for dressing, pmerving, promoting, curling, and making the Hair look beautiful, at ss. per Bottle, or a Bottle containing five small, COs. CAUllol 4 .—There are several Hair-dressers who sell counterfeit Russia Oil, which I, trash, and to deceive have the villany to put the Proprietor's name, Prince, on the cover and bottle ; therefore the Proprietor begs Ladies and Gentlemen to he particular, when pur chasing the Russia Oil themselves, or sending their servant for it, to have it of the Proprietor, Mr. Prince, 9, Poland.street, Oxford-street, or of the principal Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Merchants and Captains, who have orders for Russia Oil, will be particular and guard against impostors who go about with base coun terfeits and say it is the Genuine. Several Merchants and Captains. who have been deceived, and have sent it to the East and West In dies, have been blamed for sending Counterfeit, and have had it re turned, as abroad they are very particular to have a Genuine article. The Public in general ought to be acquainted that there is a man of the name of Asher, who was a servant some time ago to 31r. Prince, who employed him to do the labouring part (as the principal ingredi ent is kept a secret by the Proprietor, who always mixed It himself.) This same man has the audacity to make a trash which he calls Russia Oil, and the insolence to copy the bill and wrapper, and to put his former master's name on the cover and seal. The Proprietor is sorry to say, there are several Hair-dressers and others, although knowing it is not the genuine, have the meanness to buy this trash, as they get it for a mere trifle, and impose on the Public by telling them it is the Genuine. This same fellow, some time ago, travelled, and tried to 'mpose his Counterfeits ,on Country Hair-dressers and Shopkeepers ; bat in Brighton, if they had caught him, he would have had a good ducking, as he took in several who thought it was the Genuine, as the wrapper was made exactly like Mr. Prince's. lie had even the vil lany to call on Mr. John Good, Hair-dresser, Brighton, and said he was a traveller from Mr. Prince and was now returning to London, with some Russia Oil on hand ; instead of which, if Mr. Good pur chased it, he would allow him 101. per cent. extra discount, on which 31r Good bought it. Some of his cutomers having bought some of him brought it back, and said they did not think it Ge nuine, on which Mr. Good, suspecting something wrong, wrote to Mr. Prince. the proprietor, London ; on the receipt of which, Mr. Prince went immediately to Brighton ; and Mr. Good and others, who had been deceived in a similar manner, went to John Bates, Esq. the magistrate of Brighton, and asked his advice. When the magistrate heard the case, be said he could have three months in the tread-mill, —as it was a fraud—for taking money under fale pretences, and granted a warrant fur his aporehension ; but the rogue Betting scent of it, ran away trout Brighton to London ; and the magistrate signing the war rant recommended it to J E. Conant, Esq. the magistrate of Marlbo rough-street, London, who sent officers to apprehend him, yet the rogue managed to keep himself front being taken ; but as the warrant is' . still open against him, if he does not leave off his roguery lie can still be punished. To convince Hair-iressers and others it is a fact, the, warrant may be seen at Mr. Prince's. Also Hair-dressers, or any one else selling counterfeit Russia oil, under any pretence whatever, with the name Prince on the seal and wrapper, are liable to be punished, with a dance on the treadmill for the fraud. The proprietor also ac quaints gentlemen who are in the habit of going to the hotels in Covent Garden, and its vicinity, that there is a hair-dresser under the piazza who sells counterfeit, and has taken in several purchasers, by telling them it is Genuine. Several gentlemen who have bought this trasl4have come to the proprietor to know if it was the Genuine, as they found it did not answer the purpose, and learning it was counterfeit they said they would never again employ him, and would acquaint the proprietor of the hotel cf his roguery. No doubt there are some Hair-dressers who think Mr. Prince, the Proprietor, is too severe with them ; but if they conscientiously con sider the thousands Mr. Prince has spent in advertising it, they must actually consider it next to robbery to endeavour to deprive Mr. Prince of the sale of it by selling Counterfeit; and besides, Mr. P. al lows a very liberal discount for selling again. To satisfy the Public in general that Mr. Prince's Russia Oil is the original and only Genuine, the blowing Gentlemen, who are the first Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom, have sold it above twenty years :— Smyth and Nephew, 117, New Bond street; Hendrie and Son, Titchborne•street ; Bayley and Blew, Cock spur-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford.street; Newbury and Son, St Paul's ; Dicey and Sutton, Bow Church-yard; Barclay and Son.

The arguments on behalf of the appellants in this part.hcara appeal having been concluded, Lord Wynford, who sat with he Lord Ctissis. cellor, gave the judgment of the House, without calling upon ibe Counsel on behalf of Mr. Brookman, to address thew lordships, :Ansi. ing the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, with one tsunami pounds costs. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONST Mr. Burrell, and several other Members from the House cf Com mons, brought up several private bills. Mr. Brown, from the 3letropolitan Commissioners of Lunar:7, brought up papers. Petitions were presented by Lora &Aerial. from Lincoln, in favour of reform ; by Lord Gower, from the Staffordshire potteries. to the same effect; by Lord Deere, from Dissenters in London and West- !Amer, against slavery ; from the Earl of Radnor, from a place in ' Scotland, in favour of reform ; bv the Earl of Roseberry, Ver.

So (wow! of Parlionieutary reform and vote by ballot, signed by upwards of 500,1 persons. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE rose to present a petition from Clerkenwell, in favour of Parliamentary reform. In doing so his Grace said ; " My Lords, on the aubject of Parliamentary reform, my opinion is, that his Majesty's ministers deserve the gratitude of every man in the country, for the measure they :save brought forward. They have consulted the interests of all classes, and relieved use herts!itary borough proprietors from the reproach of using objectionable niensores at elections, and at the same time they have secured to them (dose ad vantages which property ought to have. (Hear.) I have no wish to occupy your lordships' time by premature discussion, hut 1 could not abstain from axpressing my cordial assent to the plan of reform pro. posed by his Majesty's ministers, and it is my intention to support it to the utmost." The noble duke also presented a petition to the same effect from Poole. . . . The largo's of CLEVELAND presented a petition from the cor• potation of Totnes.s, Devon, in support of moderate reform. The noble marquis could not concur with the petitioners in ail their views. On ,he subject of the proceeding for reform in the other House of Pails. ment, it was useless to say more than he had already expressed. He would only repeat, that no private consideration, no personal benefit to be derived from the continuance of that system, which he knew to be detrimental to the best interests of the country, should prevent him from giving his best support to the measure for reform proposed in another place. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought the Totness petition irregular. because it alluded to the provisions of a bill which was not then before their lordships. The Marquis of CLEVELAND, finding it could not be received ac cording to the forms of the house, withdrew it. PRICE 7D. (Lord Wynford) denied that be had misrepresented any part of th' noble and learned lord's statements: all that he regoi:cd by amendment was merely that he might obtain a proper utalervarsling 0 the terms of the bill, which, he be t wed to oh :serve, had untlagotte se many alterations since it was brought forward, as to be ant pletely changed in its tharaver and detAls. With a view to &gaining a pro per unsicrstandillg on it, he should, therefore, ccrtatt ly persevere in his motion The LORD CHANCELLOR explained, and repeated that the r . ble and learntd lord's Diode of proceeding was altrgether urprett ted and if his motion were carried it would be equivalent to aural rejection of the bill. Tilt question was then put t and the House divided, when there appeared —tor the amendment—that the Bill be committed that day womb. For the amendment Against it .. Majority in favour of the original motion... 1G Oa our reednillaton to the House. the L01:0 CH ANCELIiCR was on his legs, and expressed him►elt as not objtvting to • postpori ment for a week. After a conversation, in which the Duke of WELLINGTON, L“rd ELLENBOROUGH, the Lord CHANCELLOR, and Lord Wirwvont) took part, the above arrangement was agreed to. Adjourned at a quarttr post SEVEN o'clock. CALICO DUTIES. On the motion of Lord AUCKLAND, the Calico Duties Draw back Repeal Bill was read a third time and passed. The Army Mutiny Dill was read a third time and passed. VANIAUPTCV BILL. _ _ Lord WINFORD rose, Weviou; to the order of the day for going into Committee on the Lord Chancellor's bill to regulate pro ceedings in bankruptcy, and expressed a strong desire to postpone the committee until their lordships could insure the attendance of a noble and learned lord (Eldon) there, and that of the noble and learned Chief Baron who was upon the service of the counlry. He thought the absence of those noble persons would induce their lordships to accede to the motion it was his ir.tention to propose. The noble and learned lord had not been able to consider the pro posed measure in all its details. It might be calculated to do a deal of good, hut it could not do that good unless it were materially altered. When they recollected the importance of the subject to which it referred, it was impossible for any one to say they were not bound to proceed with the greatest caution. As the bill wood, it would clash with an act passed in the Gth year of the late King, which regulated all matters of bankruptcy, and no doubt produce one of those evils for which they would have to find a remedy. This bill also swept away seventy coniniissioners of bankruptcy ; and after what he had heard upon the subject, his hope was that it might not pass before they received the assistance of the Lord Chief Baron. the Bill got rid of 70 officers, but the Judges and Clerks proposed by the bill would increase the expense to the amount of at least 4,0001. annually. His noble and learned friend hail said it would be no loss to the country, but come out of the Chancery Fund. He (Lord Wyn ford) should protest against that mode of payment. The Chancery Fund was the property of suitors in Chancery, and inviolable. The bill required further consideration. He objected to the constitution of the new Bankrupt Court. It would bear no resemblance to any Court in England. Ten Judges were to be appointed to dispose of one branch of the law ; ten Judges at the same time would do all the other legal business of the country. The noble and learned lord considered five judges equal to all the duties in bankruptcy. If right in that view of the subject, they might lop off five Judges, and save the country 10,0001. a year. Haying urged several other objections, the noble and learned lord concluded by moving that the bill be committed on the 15th of April. ' The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that his noble and learned friend, still in possession of his able faculties, had come down to that House with a skilful attempt in the outset to get rid of the measure. His noble friend disdaining the gallant practice of moving the Bill be committed that day three months, which was the open and fair way of getting rid of it, had moved that it be committed that day four weeks, which had the same effect in a cunning way s His noble friend in that respect hail acted like the cunning nisi prius advocate he had once known him. His noble friend wished to postpone the bill in the eh semi of two noble lords, neither of wham had expressly objected to the measure. He was able to make a fair and candid allowance for the absence of any noble lord, but could not consent to postpone the bill to the period proposed. Ills reason for avoiding the' de lay was founded upon this circumstance. The Seventy Commission ers of Bankrupts who were to be swept away were active comtnen tators on the bill, and were taking means in and out of that House ' to destroy his bill. In order to defeat the bill he had been be-1 sieged by counsel, attorneys, aunts, wives, cousins, nephews, cum multi., (this. (A laugh.) He was still exposed to siege, atom and sack. He was attacked every way in which a fortress would be taken or starved out. His noble friend at last tried the blockading system, and was desirous of putting back the bill to the 15th of April, which would operate as a death-blow. He could not pass over the ob. jections of his noble friend, who had attacked his measure upon a total forgettulness of all he had stated. With a well-feigned jealousy of the public purse, his noble friend had endeavoured to ruin the bill by as sating that it would increase the public expense. Instead of a loss, there would he a clear saving to the public of 15,0001. a year, and if he was not much mistaken, the saving would he 20,0001. He denied that there was 'he least intention to touch one farthing of the suitors' fund in the Court of Chancery. With respect to the number of judges, he at first supposed with his noble friend, that five might be sullizient for the business; but upon taking the advice of all who were most competent to know the tact, it appeared that the number could not be less than ten. The noble and learned lord went on to tiefend the principle of the men. sure before the house ; the judges to be appointed in lieu of the coin ,nissioners of bankrupts would not be judges merely—they would ]assess an administrative, as well as a judicial, character. He should not have detained their lordships so long, but .hat he was anxious to prevent any erroneous impression from going forth, in consequence of his noble and learned friend's speech, and he should only observe fur. then, that if the measure were not carried, and for which it ought to be recollected that 4,500 of the most respectable bankers, merchants, and traders of the City of London had petitioned, it world carry con sternation and dismay throughout the whole trading interest of the metropolis, however much satisfaction and delight it might give to those whose salaries it was intended should be saved to the country by the measure. After a few words front Lord MANNERS, which were inaudible below the bar, Lord WYNFORD characterised the attack of the noble and learned lad on the woolsack as unmanly. In the most distinct manner he, HOUSE OF COMNION3. Sir C. HULSE, ns soon as the Speaker had taken the chair. pre sented the H. port of the Londonderry Election Committee,which ata•ed that Sir R. Ferguson's election was VUitl, and that the petition was not frivolous. On the coition of Sir C. HULSE, a now writ wasordered for Londol deny, in we nom of Sir R. Ferguson, whose election was void. D lit; OA LE presented the report of the St. Martiti•A, Bi•ming ham, Burial-gro..nd Bill. Sir A. 110 Pk.; presented a petition from L'ilitligow far Parliamen tary Reform. tuticrriox— IRELAND. _ Sir R. lIATE.SON presented a petition from Londondtrry. and also. one from the Presbytery of Decry, in favour of the Kildare-street Society. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that all Ireland was against the proceed ings of this Society, with the exception of those who were not, and never had been, favourable towards the Roman Catholics, and their opinions. NIT. HUME concurred in the correctness of this remark ; it was im possible that the Catholic body should view with indifference these grants ; if properly laid out, they would educate all Ireland. Sir R. BA TESON contended, that the proceedings of the K"daie Street Society. were most liberal and popular. Mr. O'FARREL lament,d that the hon. ban. who presented the petition should hare indulged in very unconciliatory language. (Hear.) Sir J. NEW PORT said, if these grants were again moved he trusted there would be a ddilieht application of the tunds.—Petition ordered to lie on the table. Sir P. BATESON then presented petitions from Carrickfergus. &c. for the abolition of negro slavery—on the motion that they be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL wished it to be understood that the difference between the Catholics and the Protestants was this--that the Protes tants desired to educate their children, and those of the Roman Ca tholics too. without the interference of the Roman Catholics. Feeling themselves on an equal footing, desirous of educating their own chil dren, he trusted that the Ministers would not abdicate the high sta tion they had taken by their conduct on the Reform question, by re. newing the grants to the Kildare.street Society on the terms on which they had formerly been granted. Sir R. BATESON was about to reply, when The SPEAKER reminded the House that the question before them I was petitions on the subject of Negro Slavery. (Illear.)—Petition or dered to be printed. Mr. SADLER postponed his motion, regarding the poor laws, till April 19. Lord W. POWLETT presented a petition from Sunderland aga'tst the timber duties now proposed. LIVRAFOOL REFORM PETITION. Gen. GASCOYNE presented a petition from Liverpool, signed by 11,000 persons. They were decidedly in favour of the imposed plan of reform. He was for reform • but he did not consider it necessary to throw sixty boroughs overboard at once to accomplish this reform. Mr. EIVART with great pleasure supported the petition, and con sidered the plan of the ministers a great boon to the country. He had heard Mr. Canning utter the speech which had been heretofore quoted, on t c h t e r s ubject me of the representation : he had heard Mr. C. say, though he op . reform, that the day would come when Reform must be eon ed. Sir E. B. SUODEN said the petition was silent about the extensive corruption that had prevailed at particular places. Mr. J. WOOD remarked that the corruption resulted from the abominable system of out-voters, and that if this reform were granted, and the elections over In two days, 501. would not be °feted fur votes. Petition ordered to be printed. SOUTHWARK RZFOllit PETITION. Mr. C. CALVERT presented this petition, declaring that he had never seen so unanimous and numerous a meeting as that which adopted it. He with pleasure supported its prayer. Sir R. WILSON concurred in its prayer. So far from there being any thing like a majority, or any considerable proportion in favour of the ballot; he believed the contrary to be the ease in Southwark.— Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. C. CALVERT presented a petition from an Association in St. George's the Martyr, Southwark, formed to watch the application of the poor-rates, Su. in favour of the Ministerial plan of Reform, observ mg that they beheld with delight the destruction of the rotten oroughs, the extension of the franchise, and the reduction of the number of Members.—Petition ordered to lie on the table. 31r. HOY presented a petition from Southampton against the pro posed tax on ucam-packets.—Ordered to lie on the table. CALNC REFORM PETITION. Mr. MACDONELL presented a petition from Caine in favour of the Ministerial measure of Reform. Mr. HUNT said, it used to be observed of Caine that its representa. dyes were as much the political lacqueys of the Marquis of Lansdowne as his own servants were his domestics. The hon. member near him (Mr Peel) had made allusion to him and his trade on a former evening, 6 , had I been present, I would have replied (continued Mr. Hunt) that his father was the first of his family that was a gentleman, while my father was the first of my family that was a tradesman. (Much cheering.)—Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. BA I LIRE presented petitions from the Bread Society of Bristol against the Corn Laws—from the Chamber of Commerce, Bristol, in favour of an equalization of the Sugar Duties, &c. Colonel LYDON presented a petition from Evcsham praying to he heard by Counsel against the Di sfran chisement BilL—Ordered to lie on the Table. On the motion of Leib ALTIIOIIP, the defaulters on Friday last were called over. They were chiefly ordered to attend to-morrow. FIRST FRUITS, IRELAND. Sir J NEWPORT rose to bring forward his motion for the state of the First Fruits' Fund, in Ireland. Lord 0. SOMERSET complained of this motion being about to take precedence of the orders of the day. Sir J. NEWPORT said he had already postponed his motion three times. Lord A LTHORP observed that he had given way to the right hon. ban. This motion being uispostd of, he should bring forward his mea sure on the Customs acts. to ;impose the new duty on cotton. Alderman THOMSON said. he had several days attended for the purpose of presenting a petition from the ship-owners of London, against the timber duties now proposed, without being able to present the same; he should present it tomorrow. Sir J. NEWPORT then brought forward his motion, detailing the history of the lint Fruits' Fund of Ireland, and what had been pro posed by former parliaments on the subject. The produce of the Fund was certainly intended, by Queen Anne, to build and l repair churches in Ireland, but very little had been appropriated to such purpose, the coat of repairing churches having been chiefly raised on the land. Under all the circumstances, he thought he was justified iti again bringing forward this subject, and moving an address to his Ma jesty to resist the misappropriation of money to objects intended to be paid for by the first fruits, &c. and to inquire of his law officers who titer his Majesty has the power to direct a re-valuation of church pm petty in Ireland. The motion also detailed the results of the fund— that many of the benefices had never been rated at all—that the bishop rics had been rated at only 300 L &c. &c. Mr. STANLRY seconded the motion. Mr. tiOULBURN said, he did not understand what was to be the result of this revaluation, if it were acquiesced in—were all livings to be rated accordingly ? 41 : -- • ItV o , isionasip to 1788.. _ .10 Per ce nt 0tt,;,:,,l j-.. ~,,.\ . ~..., . ..- . 7., c ,- , ..... , - Sir J. NEWPORT proposed, should the new valunAbe granted ~tt ..: that all livings in I re l a nd a b ove one h un d re d pounds shout' to rated to e:'• l''. this fund. ,• ,-/ ~„,. Mr. GOULBITRN continued. He co u ld not see t i e atiestrage or .• ,' value of this motion ; he was still at Issue w ith t h e r i g h t h en haamet. Ile had before shewn. on authority not yet disputed. that the full valve cr the benefice had norm yet been taken as a criterion for pi., nicht to the First Fruits Fund. The right hon. baronet was quee re error on this subject. They ought to be told. In the even: of the o r nion of the lawyers being in their favour, what course it was then intended to pur. sue. He thought the course now proposed was inexpedient ; the nii. neters ought to take the law officers' opinion; and act on their own re.- spa nsibilily. Mr. LEADER said great credit was due to the right hon. bar. for his efforts to telieve his counts from the Grand Jury Presentments, and the question connected with the First-fruits of Ireland • Bed had brought together an invaluable fund of inform a tion on the subject. He thoutthr it was impossible not to do so:rt.:den; on this question now; and ht did rot agree with those who considered that the question was still in the state in which it had been. He was as wished that the right lion. mem ber for Armagh (Mr Cioulbum) should consider that the fund should not have the full amount of first-fruits that must have been con templated. If it were granted it would be of inestimable benefit to Ireland. It would not only be a just relief to the land, but would do much to put down those feuds which now distracted Ireland. it would put an end to the 2,000 debating societies in Ireland, and would supersede the r.ece•sitt of raising 1,000,0001 by grand jury assessments, and would v armt the reduction of 1,1100.1 1 001 in the army est mates. Ha hoped the measure would be carried. 3110 the greatest credit was due to the right hon. baronet for bringing it forward.—(Hear.) Mr. LEFROY, sen. could not we the reasonableness or justice to it •ulcting a man of one year's income, after appointment or promotion to a living or bishopric in Ireland. Had such persons no families to maintain ? If, then, it were not reasonable or just, how could they warrant such a measute ? He maintained that they ought to take the Standard of what was done iu Queen Anne's time. A year's intone, be maintained, had never been taken from livings for the First= rusts, and ought not to be. The proposition now submitted, was to whoa late a new law ; it was not *IOW on the rind& of any of the pre. ma% acts des this subject. This measure was *tither reasonable nor hallf the law were doubtful on the subject, why rot 1• the a new t . o explain it ;at all events they ought not to allow the fate to a!l the clergy of Ireland to hang oa the opinion of the law etficcra of the Crown ; it was endeavouring to accomplish a particular object by a side wind. If the church property were to build the church, he hoped the lay impropriators would be called upon to pay their part. Mr. :STANLEY, at great length, gave a history of the original M- I vitiation and application of tirst.tnets, and contended that the mea sure was no tax upon the clergy, but that it was an arrangetuent under stood, and forn ed a part of the compact on the acceptance of a benefice —and he thought that it would be for the benefit of the church that a new valuatitm should take place, artl that the first fruits should be ap propriated to their original purposes. Sir R. PEEL opposed the measure, because it was to establish a pre cedent of departing front old Parliantentaty usage, which the Heine might depend upon was founded in wisdom. He would always protest against the members of the honourable he use being called upon to give 'bele assent to a resolution with only two or three hours consideration. He objected to the mode in which the opinion of the law officers bad been proposed to be obtained. because that opinion omit be had on the resolutions, which were cslculated to give a bias, by expressing el e pe. Utica! tendency of the measure. Ile would not propose any street:.:. ment, but he trusted that the good sense of the Honourable tient It. man, would dictate to hint the necessity of withdrawing the Reso lution, and not suffeeng any further diacu'sion to take place ott the question. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the measure, and said it. was one of great importance to the people in Ireland ; and said that the practice had gone against the statutes, and that it ought to be restored to its pri. meval institution. Sir R. INGLIS thought the extent of the burden much exaggerated; in no part of Ireland dui the tax exceed lid per acre. He hoped that, as had been suggested, the resolution would be withdrawn, and the whole question previously submitted to legal advisers. Mr. S. RICE said the law officers were confined to the question whether the Crown had a right to re-value the tirst.fruits? The lion. Gentleman, however well disposed, spoke of a country with which he was entirely unacquainted. He (Mr. S. Rice) knew districts where the tax amounted to upwards of one shilling per acre. But the system excited, besides, religious contests, and dissatisfaction towards the esta blished church. He and his hon. Mend had fought the present ques tion for ten or twelve years, and he rejoiced that that night their work was at last to be completed. Mr. PEEL explained. Mr. STANLEY said that his Honourable Friend consent el to withdrawal! the resolutions, except the one referring to the law officers of the Crown, the question whether the Crown had the right of re valuing the first-fruits. Mr. FITZGERALD hoped. that were the law officers to decide in the negative, Government would apply to Parliament for legislative powers for a re-valuation. . After a few words from the Solicitor-General for Ireland, Mr. WYSE deprecated the taxing of a whole population of Catho lics for the sake of a few Protestants. He knew a case where a talWas imposed on a parish entirely composed of Catholics, with the exception of one—a Protestant, who himself objected to the imposition. Protes tants themselves bad petitioned the House against the existing system. Mr. NORTH doubted not the right of the Crown to proceed to a new valuation, but whether the new valuation be ing made, the levies could be raised according to that new valuation. lie thou g ht that ques tion should be submitted to the law officers, Mr. STANLEY said, the resoluti.n ctnanitwd the words, " with die view to the levy of the first fruits." After a few words from Mr. North, Sir Charles Wet:tail (who con. curred in Mr. North's objection), Mr. Stanley, an Hon. Member, arid Sir Edward Codringion, Sir J. NEWPORT replied. In the course of his reply, having in. trotluced and animadverted on a letter purporting to have been written in the year 180, by a right reverend prelate to another right reverend prelate, In which certain returns, which had been•moved for by the ho nourable baronet, were deprecated as proceeding from an opposition member, whose object was to degrade and desire) , the Protestant esta blishment in Ireland, Sir R. INGLIS and Mr. GOULBURN protested against the production of a private letter, written at so remote a dare, and not sutS. ciently authenticated. An Hon. MEMBER—The present question resolves itself into this: Are we to have a Protestant establishment or not ? The resolution respecting the question whether the crown had a right to ptoceed to a re.valuadon of the first fruits in Ireland, was then agreed to. CUSTOMS' Divots ACTS. The house resolved itself into a committee on the above sets ; Sir A. GRANT in the chair. Lord ALTHORP rose to propose that a duty of ss. 10d. be imposed on every hundred weight of cotton wool, or waste of cotton, imported (torn foreign countries. He calculated that the produce of this tax would be between 600,0001. and 700,0001. whence, deducting the ad vatureirs duty °isle per cent. which last year pro duced 320,0001. but on an average produced only 240.0001. the remainder would be about 400,0001. or, at the least, 320,01101. This was certainly not a cnmpen. sation for the duty removed • but looking at the state of the revenue, at the probable increased rec eipts,: arising chiefly from the reductions on duties made last year, and at the prospect of trade, he did not in the least fear that the amount of the revenue would not be amply sufficient to meet the exigencies of the State. lie then moved the resoltit ion. _ Mr. HU/dB said he could not approve of a tax on a raw material, hut must agree with the noble lord, that there was no comparison be tween this and the tax on printed calicoes, and therefore should not op. pose it ; but if the noble lend would reduce the army, there would be no necessity fur either tax. He was confident he must do so in a year or two ; the ministers were pledged to retrenchment, and he would keep them to their pledge. (A laugh.) Lord AIrTHORP ►aid, he hoped it would be possible to reduce the army by the time mentioned by his hon. friend. ( Hear.) Mr. WARBURTON said, after the passing of the reform bill, the whole country would be in such good temper, that toe army might be considerably reduced. Mr. (OULBURN thought if the tax was to be repealed in a year or two, it should not be imposed. Mr. ROBINSON would not object to the tax, but was con vinced the country must soon come to a property tax, which, by ad mitting a repeal of taxes that affected industry, would benefit the cond. try at large. Lord ALTHORP said it was his intention to repeal the present tax as soon as possible.—The Resolution was agreed to, Mr. P. THOMSON moved a scale of duties payable on the importa tion of timber from the United Stales, or South America, into the Wc'.t Intlies..—The Resolution was agreed to. The House resumed, and the Report was otdered to be recei‘ed to-morrow. The House resolved itself into • Committee on the trade with British Pbesessii•ns Ahmed Bill. Mr. P. THOMSON moved a scale of duties on the importation of vsnous articles into the Wear IE4IIEI and Bahamas. Sir H. PARNELL said, the sound policy would be to take steps for the entire repeal of the duties. Mr. HU AIR paid he was so convinced of the Impolicy of the duties, that he would bring the whole subject bdore the House on a future occasion. The Resolution was agreed to. The House resumed. Report to-mot 111 . 011LX. Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought in a bill to amend the repeesetea (ion of the peopis of England and Wales.—(Great eheertog.)-.-ile wished to state that the bill contained some few alterations from rite statement be had made to the house.
