To•morrow.] CIVIL LIST. Mr. LENNARD seeing tl.a Right Hon. Gentleman in his place, wished to ask him whether it was the inten tion of Government to make any reductions in the ex penses of the Civil List, pat ticularly that part of it which related to the expenses of Foreign Ambassadors. Mr. Secretary CAN replied that he certainly had not intended to carry further reduction into the Civil List during the present Session. Some reductions had already been made since his coining into office. At the same time h. did not pledge bitnself that something fur ther might not be done. Mr. LENNARD then said that, as his question had not received a direct negative, he would suspend any motion upon the subject for the present. a OP ryes—CJMUUTATION. Mr. HERRIES brought up the Reduced Assessed Taxes' gi IL Usir the question of its being ream a first time, Mr. EAU:RAFT said that be would take that oppor tunity of giving his meed of praise to the present Chan, e'. lor of the Exchequer, for the very wise and humane re gulations which he had made with regard to the Assessed ' Taxes in Ireland, by rep. sling them altogether.—(Hear.) They were small in their amount, but v-xations and op pensive. to a degree, in the collection. Of tde manner in which he had disposed of the English Assessed Tax-e, be (Mr. C.) could not give so qualified as approval. He was obliged to say that the reductions were no: made in that class of burdens which pressed most heavily upon the bulk of the people.—(Hear.) Being precluded at this stage from suggesting any amendment to the mea sure, he could only bay, that be would have wished to -see the Leather and Candle 'lax commuted for the reduc tions mode in the taxes on horses, ponies and carriages. —(Heat.) He regretted that these were not the taxes reduced, as they w.'uld be of more extensive operation, and confer more material benefits. Of the reductions made in the Window Tax he entirely approved; but he wished those had been carried to a total repeal, and that the taxes on carriages had be. it left untouched. This latter was a tax upon luxury, the fittest thing to be taxed ; and in fact, the number of eqnipages set up by indivi duals bad ratiter increased than niminighed during its ope ration. The tax upon leather, npon tn., other hand, was an impost upon a necessary of life, and leal.!rigt most heavily upon those who were most entitled to exeitip.;,:n and protection, namely—the poarest classes. To this vast body it would be a great boon if the Leather Tax was remitted; for though one-half of it was already re duced, yet such was the profligacy in the collection of it, that the half that remained, whilst under the Excise, was quite as oppressive as the whole would have been as it originally stood. It would be his wish, therefore, to re peal these two taxes altogether; but, as he was precluded from commuting them, lie pledged himself move them substantively. This, however, would be in the event of the National Debt Reduction Bill not passing for if that Bill, which was now before the House, pig in its present form, the hands of Parliament would be en -1 tirely tied up from making any further remission of tax ation. For the principle of that Bill was, th the surplus, whatever it might be of revenue over the expenditure, should go to a Sinking Fund, and, therefore, whether the excess was 3,000,0001. or 5,009,0001. the whole was to go to that Fund. But if be understood lientlemsn in that House rightly, many of them seemed to be of opi nion, that greater reductions might bet made this Ses sion. ney accepted the reductions already made, but they did not exclude themselves from pressing for more. Nothing could be more invidious thar the manner in which the late reductions had been made. This House might very properly he taunted with reducing those taxes which applied exclusively to themselves. and ne glected those which concerned the bulk of th e people. If this Reduction Bill did not pass before the rec-ss. he weal take the sense of the House upon these two taNes: but if in this lie was dis ippoin . e I, he w•itil.l then uhile two separate motions ilium lien; to the Hoare. The Bill was then read a first time. TAX UPON COTTAGER. Mr. CURWEN gave notice, that as the whole of the Duty upon Cottages was not repealed, lie wive it, as an instruction to the Committer. on Assessed Taxer, to take the subject into their conshieration. Pt TIES ON CRITtSki SPIKICS. Sir RONALD 14sEft6USSON seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman in hie plac-, wished 14 put it qiies . • to aim of great import:vice to the distiller and agriculturist.— It having been stated that it was meant to lower the llotieson Bri:ish Spirits, a illse impression jiad gape abroad that the reduction was to came into lint - radiate operation t and the consequence was that in Scotland a ll nrders given to distillers and dealers in spirits had been countermanded, the buyers being naturally unwilling to loneliest. until the Duties sLoutil he taken off. It was tit, therefore, that the distillers should understand pre cisely when the reduction wes to take place, and slat) whether it was to esteun to the stoa in nana. As :his PRICE SEVEN PENCE. was the hest season for the distilleriei, if the wele now cheated by any.doubts upon this subject, the market for. barley would be entirely taken away. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was obliged to the Gallant Officer for affording him an opportunity of giving the fullest explanation upon a suf. ject of the greatest importance to all parties. 10 the tirbt of questions he would reply, thit it was not MS in tention that the reduction of tbe duties on spirits, which he ultimately intendeJ, should take place before the 19th . of Oct. He could not say the precise day on which they were to be taken off, but as it was so distant he thought it could not interfere at all with the operations of the _ . . distillers. - As to the stork in hand, he vas anxious to give that question as favourable a consideration as possi ble. In Ireland a distiller was allowed to bond his spiriu in the King's stores, without paying the duty until it was sold, so that he lost the present duty only upon such quantities as passed away from him. This regulation it was meant to extend to Scotland, and the advantaves which it would afford the distiller Scotch would not lie inconsiderable. ABOLITION OF THE SINNING FUND. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a petition from certain in habitant householders of lit. Anne's parish, Westminster, praying fur a total repeal of the Assetsed Taxes. The objects of the petition were chiefly directed against •'te system of the Sinking Fund. The petitioners declared that there was no contract implied or expressed between them and Government by which they were Wand to pay more than the current expenses of the State for the year, and the interest of the Debt. He (Mr. H.) had no douln but that if time were given before the sinking Fund pegged into into a law, these would be found to be the sentiments of the great majority. The petitioners also stated that Ministers should never be intrusted with a surplus of Revenue, which was always betser in the pee pie's pockets than in their hands. They therefore pray cii the house to ?nt the finances of the country upon an in telligible basis, and particularly to abolish the Sinkin.; Fund, which one Chancellor of ►he Exchequer had ac knowledged to be a system of deception. Mr. MAXWELL, in seconding the petition, made some observations upon the Watch Cottage Tax. This was a tax, he contended, which ought to be entirety done away with, for it was collected wader circutnstanc , s of great oppression and cruelty, whilst nct a fourth part of it went to the account of the public. - • Lord A. HAMILTON also joined in a recommendation for the repeal of this tax. Mr. HOBHOUSE wished to know what day the Char. cellor bad fixed for the discussion of his Sinking Fund Bill. He hoped a distant day would be named, that the sentiments of the people at large might be taken upon see important a measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEI, before replying to the question, wished to clear away some mis apprehension which seemed to prevail respecting this Bill. Gentlemen on the other side were not correct in supposing that this Bill wooLl preclude them from fur s thee reducing taxes, for they might prevail upon the House to do an act which might be inconsistent with its own Resolutions. But in fact, this Bill was rathei a simplification of the existing law with respect to the Sinking Fund, than the originating of any new measure. If, then, the objections urged to it now were goad, S 3 they also were to the existing law. And as to the time for passing this Bill, if it was at all benefidal to simplify the law, the sooner it was dore before the sth of April the be:ter.After this explanation, he trusted there woeld be but little opposition to the Bill, which would he suffered to he read a first arol second tint • as a matter of course. The proper place tor debating whether the Sinking Fond was to he 2,000,01101. or 5,009,000/. woUl d he the Committee, for such a question could not be raised on the second reading. As then there was a future stage for discussing the merits of the question, he did not ste why much stress should be laid upon the time the first steps were to be taken utnan it. Mr. CALCRAFT agreed with the Hon. Member for Westminster, that nothing was more desirable or neces sary than a simplification of the public finances. At present the Sinking Fund by law ought to be 15,000,00',./. but by a Resolution of this house, it was reduced in fact to 5,000,000/. He could not agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that after appropriating a Sinking Fund of 5,0110,000/., this house is afterwards turn round, anddisninish that sum by a further remission of taxes. When the house had once passed the vote, he thought it was not to be disturbed slightly. The proper time, thy, fee discussing the question, was before the Bill passed. 11 there to•be a surplus a' all, it wait certainly desir able that it shottld oe ap ,:.rriatekt before the , sth of April, but it could not ntch` prejudice the . puma: ass: • counts if it was postponed still longer. When the Right Hon. Gentleman had got this Bill for the appro priation of 5,000,0094, he could Lave a tooth stronger areument against remission of taxes, than the present mere Resolution of 1819 could possibly afford bin. So anxious, however, was the Right Finn. Gent, to bring on the qaestioo, that the Report of the Resolutions was to hr brought up this very evening. After what be had mated, be hoped the consideration of that Report tron:d be defined till to-morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be thought, alter the disc,ission of last night, that there would be no objection to bring iip ttie Report this evening. Be had, however, no particular wish to press them to-night, if the house v ere disposed to discuss them. Ile hoeei, however, that in the event of his conceding now, no ap position %amid be given to their being brought oa savvy to-morrow. Mr. Ti ERNE!' remark d, th.rt from the itte :re of the business which was to come 'secure the heeler to-morrow, it appeared to him as inconvenient to take those Rest lotions then as te-day. The house might naturally ex pect that then, .lion relative to Ireland would occupy the grea'er part of the evening. He could not see v. i.at great injury the postponement of this Bill would wt.; it, since, it the Siuking Fund was suffered to co on, oa it had for some years, it was of little consequence }ma long after the 5 . 11 of April the new medsure came i..to optra.. tioc. Sufficient notice, be thought, under any cit stances, ehopisi be given, that Gentlemen inlght see twee. tiler they would continue a Sinking Fund inahe preee .t state of the courory. In the event of sack a discostmit t.king place, he wiped the country gentlemen would net tie found wanting, er that a chattier in price' woalri not induce them to be remiss in their exertions for a redac tion of taxes. Wi.h this view he would wrest to ths Right Hon. Gent. to put off the disco-sion of the Report to Thursday. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be bad no objection to accede to this smog-8600. if Lis Right Hon. Friend neer him consented to forego a tno tion of his respecting Ireland, nia:h was of no great pornsece. Mr. TIERNEY th.eoght it cot anreasonab'e, fro is Vie nature of the mttiou of Thursday, to calcula . e that ail discussion upon it would be over -by nine o'clock 4 night.
