NOV. TO. TIFFI - NATIPIS Order!)--Much bad been said about the influence of forouritiant. Now Aire yit was more rational to suppose, that such an inflaence should be exerted in support of 26 young men of family and fortune, titanic' behalf of an old worn out officer. Mr. Vyse and Mr. Serjeant Best followed on the same side as Mr. W. Pole. Mr. Brand and Mr. P. Moore spoke in support of the motion, as. did also Sir Charles Barren, who considered the officers a harshly treated. Atter Colonel Palmer had replied, the House divided, when there appeared—Fur the motion 37; against it 144.—Adjourned. NOV. 18. HACKNEY COACHES. Mr. LUCHINGTON rose to move for leave to bring in. a Bill :to alter the Hackney Coach Act of last Session, by abolishing all that part of it which related to the delivery of tickets by the drivers of every fare. Repeated efforts had been made on the part of pertain. proprietors of hackney coaches, through the medium of the. Cons.,. missioners, to get the sanction of Government to bring in an'Act , 'which might have the effect of cm reeling the abuses, andpreveorting the frauds that look place amongst the drivers ; and the Act ot-lst Session, introducing the ticket system, was suggested as beiog - likely. to effect that desirable object. Thus originated ; that lull, but it had completely failed, particularly its chief regulation. There lags now no way of allaying the ferment which that measure,had occasioned, except by abolishing all that part of the Act relating to tickets; and that was.the object-of the preliminary Bill that he pro posed to bring in. When so nincli of the Act should be abolished.as • related to the tickets, what would be Kt was only connected with , the licensing of hackney chariots, and the 'norther of persous•to be• carried. At some Koine period he should propose the introduction of other measures, to regulate not only those object's, but the gene ral mamigement of hackney emlches. Leave given to bring in the Bill accordingly. PROPERTY TAX. The Cflowerttav of the EXCHEQuER having inoved that the House do resolve itself into a CommittreofSopply, Mr. GEENFLLL rose to *tate, ai it wits acitnowledged that the odious.avd n1(1111.406:11 tax on property expired on the sth of April, that *lmuld any attempt- be made to renew it, hard Government would introduce such climacs, as would have the effect of softening the severity of its inquisitorial .power. He also trusted that some endeavour would, in such cave, be made to render the tax less une qual, and therefore less unjust; for, as it now stood, those persons in the middling class of life were compelled, to pay as much as the possessor of twenty or fifty thousands per year. Where was the. equality of taxation -in this?. If the Ministers, in the event of ap plying fur any renewal of the Act, failed to make the amendments which he had suggested, he should feel it his duty to propose them to the House—particiduily that the Commissioners'shoulsl be bouval terseervey respecting all irritate circumstances and fortunes of those individuals who might appeal to them ; which secrecy was not re quired as the law now stood. SUPPLY—ARMY EXTRAORDINARIE4. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, the estimates respecting the Army Extraordinaries being ordered to be referred to the said Committee, The CHANCELLOR of the li XCHEQUER,. after observing that the whole arratint cif Army Extraordinaries for 11314 would be about ten millions, and that he did not propuse to ask for the whole amount now, betamese as yet he was unable to lay beforethe House all the accounts, moved that a sum not exceeding 8,000,0001. be granted to his Majesty to meet the extraordinary -expellees of the army. After a discussion of considerable length, in which Mr. Tierney. Mr. Baring, the Chancel:lr of the Exchequer, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Rose, took part, Mr. WHITBREAD felt it his duty to ask the Right Bon. Gentle man whether there was any truth in the report, that Ministers for the last 48 hours bad been in possession of dispatches from Sir G. Prevost, communicating amongst other things, that 2000 of our troops, not of the militia, but those bearing the name of the Com mander under whom they had served, the Wellitigtonians, hap! 4 serted the standard of Sir 0. Prevost The CHANCELLOR of the Exeuvoutm replied, that Government had received dispatches trout Sir G. Prevost, but he was not pre pare- to go into particulars at present. A!r.
