The. Hon. Gentleman stated, that many afflicting instances had occurred, where dead bodies so. thrown ashore had been utterly neglected; and other instances had happened, where the dead had been buried in heaps, which was certainly most disgusting, and highly improper.

Before the war, there had been a considerable ninnies, of students educated for the Priest. hood'in France, Ind y, Flanders, Spain, and Lisbon, who were now prevented from going there for their education; therefore it was proper to have them educated 'at home, and abre act their minds from any foreign principle or politics.

With e.e.aril to carriages, he did not mean that two should pay so much as the double of one, or that three should pay as the triple of one, and so on. With regard to postieg carriages. he meant to I.ly them aside entirely. He ought to state that the tax on ere,. hounds would be raised higher than those on other specie: of dogs.
