Mr. BIZIGIIT was glad to find that the repeal of this Ina %%until afford the country gentlemen no relief tend that they knew steels In he the fuel ; it • hoped that, even before the prcLent session rimed, they would repeal some tax that would at once cll'ard them and the country relief. Tliete was no rbanee of trli.•f w thisut real acute...li in of taxation, in which nll 'he !tenpin of Legland would I,e beneficed.

As to the relief to ;eat e, it would benefit it about three far things per acre. Mr. CALYERT understood that the object of the c peal was to relieve agriculture. Mr. 1). GILBEICI said, the repeal was calculated to Intel ease the t•onsumption of malt ; that was the (Italy way ill which benefit could result to the farmer. As ill re list to the country, he did nut view this measure as one that Was calculated to afford such 'whet . ; the lethal of the salt tax would indeed relieve the cottony. lie, however, should not support its repeal this session, if the malt dilly repeal were persevered in. Sit I'. LX,TIIIiItIDGE said, there was nothing like relief to the agricultural interests in the repeal of the malt ditty; lie had expected that government would have Conte down Wills a vet y different measure of relief. lie knew what the state of the c ountry was, and lie felt as• bored that tic present system of taxation could not go on. (Hear, lieu r.)--M inkters most change their course, if they see iottsly tt•ouglit of aelieviug agriculture. Mr. 'l'. WILSON deprecated the continual agitation of agliceiltstral interests, while there was a committee on the subject silting. It would be better to wait for a report. Sir C. BURRELL lamented that ministers had given up this tax, without consulting better with their friends, fur though they gave up a million and a half, the benefit would not lie to the people in general. Mr. cALvEitir reminded the committee, that those who brewed at home would have the malt duty to pay. He did not expect all gentlemen to understand this sub. teen, but he hoped that they would comprehend what they heard; it' there were error about the prices, it most I/0 flout the defective manner in which he had expressed himself. Gen. GASCOYNE said, as the measure had gone thus far, he should not throw soy o.istacles in his way ; but he hoped that it would nut be lung _before the salt tux repealed. (licor.)

Lord NOIIMANBY knew his own motives too well to feel affected by the lanatage of the letter ; but was it not something like a lu•each of privilege to say that his conduct or system was calculated to undermine the best nattiest.? . . Lord LONDONDERRY thought private letters were not to heroine the ►utrjret of nose rvation there. Surely it v.a. nut imputing improper motives to say that such system xa• etoculdtett to undermine the best interests. Lord J.
