APPEALS. 'lle Earl of DARNLEY said that before the winder of titertflai was entered into, he wished to take some me► lt. of the great number of Appeals before their Lard -4 ISt happened from a paper on their Lordshipa' tabie that there were no less diaa V S melee of Appeat• before tint House; that there was areat increaseof these from fornier years; and that, judging from thhilrogrest already made in Appeals, it would take seven years be ' fore the whole 'of these could •be decided. Id fact, it would be impossible to go through. them la a *honer time without a denial of justice. The Appeals from Scotlaad were by'far the most numerous ; and he con ceived it matertabthat some step should he taken Albeit' to bring them to a speedy decision, or get rid Of this ruinous system altogether.: ' .r. • r -1.. •. r The girl of LIVERPOOL said thitpapet thatireftstred to by the Noble Lord had been laid before' OseMosetita consequence of a motion - made by him (Lord Li 1):' He did wish to have that document laid before' the Home, because it was his intention, immediately after the recess, , to call their Lordships' attention to the importing qu tion to which it related. It would be recollected that, in the rear 1813, this ttnestion had conic under the con sideration ofahe House, and that a resolution bad then been adopted for devoting three days in each week to the hearing of Appeals. That resolution had been most strictly adhered to, and be was sorry that the evil, so far from having diminished, had been greatly aggravated. lhis. however, was but a small part of t the, evil. Com plaints had often been made of delays , in the Court of ; Chancery, and this accumulation of Appeals was one of the principal causes of such delays. if the evil of these Appeals could be got rid of altogether, then the Lord Chancellor would have time to discharge the cases in his own Court. The Scotch Appeals were more numerous by 'Mout five to one tbao the others; a eircnoistance probably arising out of , the nature of the Scotch Lsw. lie should submit it to their Lordships whether it might not be itroper to adopt some measure by which the' diffi culty in question might be got rid of; and prevent the business of the Court of Chancery from being impeded. He should call the attention of the House to this subject .after the recess. SINKING POND. On the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the National Debt Reduction Bill, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the House was that day , to take into consideration the subject of the Sinking Fund, which bed already been repeatedly before Parlia ment. Some doubts bad been started as to whether a measure of this kind was advantageous to the country ; and each doubts had been entertained by many high authorldee. For his own part. lie felt it his duty to say that he never bad any reason to alter the opinion he ori ginally formed respecting the Sinking Fund. He had entertained that opinion ever since the year 1786, when she Sinking Fond was first established. Experience had Certainly shown that it was not practicable to carry that measure to the extent originally proposed; but. it was,to be considered that since that time there intervened ewer. Of twenty-two years duration, attended with an expends tare of money unexampled in the history of any country; and, therefore, no one could be surprised that with such as elpenditore, the Sinking Fund could not be medal available to the great object for which it had been intend ed. Yet, ootwitbstauding this failure to the expected ese toot, he was sure that it was to the Sinking Fund esta blished in 1786, this country owed its ability to carry/ba the war daring the long period he had stated. At the peace it was found impossible to give effect to that Fund t, aad it became necessary to renew the system. He was. ready to agree in what had been repeatedly asserted, that real Sinking Fond was the excess of income above the expenditure in time of peace; and it was on that principle, that, in the year 1819, certain resolutions had been adopted by the House of Commons, which formed the basis of the Bill then before the House. It was then re solved that there should be a permanent Sinking Fund of five millions ; and he at the same time stated it as his opi nion that the country should always have a permanent surplus of Revenue to the amount of five millions • until that Food accumulated to an amoun t which should be a t-100th part of the public debt. The Bill now before their Lordships was upon that very principle. This year there was a surplus Revenue of 7,200,0001. above the ex penditure ; but it was conceived that the country would., derive eat relief. from a remission of taxes to the amount , of 2.00 gT OOO/. ; and it was determined to apply the remain der to a Sinking Fund, On the fullest possible.consider let ion which be had given to this subject, and after. hawing read every thing that bad been published on it si his opinion was made up as to the propriety and 1 expediency of a fund of this kind. The application lof such a fond was necessary to the existence of the , country, unless it could be shown that we were never again likely to be engaged in a war ; and he was sure the& any system arising out of an opinion that wars I would not again take place, must rest on a rotten foun dation ; and would, in fact, be most likely to involve us in wars. On a superficial view of the subject then, it muskappear an obvious proposition, that sonic provisain most be made for the contracting .of future debts, unless it cou:d be shown that the surplus necessary_ for carrying on war could be raised within the year. Therefore, on every view of the question, their Lordshipa must feel that a Sinkiog Fond to a limited extent would be &dyer. %agents both in peace and in war, and was a most ttn portant part of the financial system of the country... So. far from a system of this kind impoverishing the coentry, he timogi f t it necessary to observe, that in every war in hich the country had been engaged, its general wealth had increased, and great changes tied taken place in pro perty. Certain classes, however, had suffered great dis tress, and that nas one of the consequences of transi tions from war to peace. At one time toe fundliolders were much distressed, while rents were raised and agri culturists were making rapid suites in the acquisition of wealth ; hut since the restoration of Face, toe scale had been turned, and unfortunately cousidereble distress was experienced by the occupiers of land. Now, lie considered a Sinking Fund as likely to prevent the great inconveniences resulting from a transition .from peace to war, or from war to peace. • It would serve to diminish the evils of an alternation from wai to peace. Some measure for that purpose was necessary,. and this he, conceived,. of all others, to be the 1 eat. It was founded on the prieripielidOpted in 1786,, end the power and.secitrity oFthe country depended no the istio doh of it. Ile should not now enter into a discussion on the difference of Opinion which had existed on this subject is another place; bat he would assert that there Was now a clear surplus income of five millions ; and th:.ti during the last seven years taxes to the amount of 23 millions annually had been repealed, being one Midi of tbearbele taxation of the country during the !set war: Evegy thing, then was in a progressive wate,of recqvery ' 'fronilliw pressure af former taxation. The state of our .; :inannticwires wes now flourishing in a way that never ex isted before. He admitted that agriculture still lahoure•l under greratdifficulties; but he knel that the agricultu ral interests weir at this moment in a site of peg evasive improvement. Under all these circumstances, tg. treated the Noose wordd maintain the project now Reim; them, which had been supported by the authority of Mr. Pitt mid• Mi. Voi, and bad always been considered as darist awatatigeout to the best interests of the country. •TbiMarloesit.of lANSDOWN said, that some years ' ages& proPOsition had been made by Met to get, did of the • nhaeltinetrfifail4 4ieking Fond; and he was now happy to find that the Noble Lord agreed with him so far as to admit that a Sinking Fund els r ,, thing more than an Wes% of income beyond the rape:Witt:ire. the cus tom had long been , to praise the Sinking Fund, and yrt forltiait 'years past it had been applied to purposes quite different from what had been originally -intended ; and therefore it was a mere delusion to say there had - 'been such a thing as a Sinking Fhnd. The Noble Eat) 'Susie! wieee'idti int - eteess of income to the 'amount of flie enitholis. siThislie (Lord Larestlown) denied. Tice ' 'esestes.Wastio•more than three millions. But then the ititifiOak increaswof income which took placq last year upon. And how was that increase 'effected ? . Why by iinposing a burden of long continuance on pos terity; and withdrawing relief from them for many years. It was declareitillst there existed 'a surplus of live mil lions which did not exist; and now, in order to make up the differs**, a buiden was laid on posterity which went to defeat tl.e very object of the Sinklfig Fuud. The pre• sent Bill, then, was a delusion, by balding out a pros pect which did not exist ; and therefore Ire should pro pose to reduce the sum front five to three millions. Be was sorry to hear as an argument in favour of the Ssnk lug that it would have the effect of. prevention. great changes of property. Bat he must say that during the last thirty years greater revolutions ha I taken place in property than were ever before witnessed in this or any other country. There was, therefore, no ft rah is that argument. !t was a grave and iniportatit qucatiwi whether it would not be better to remit taxation by hiving no Sinking Fund, and to allow the Wiuntr'y to recruit its resources ; and if the increased taxation oe cesioned by this fund, had the effect of draining the ca pital. and resources of the countrv, it was the grea.est foliy imaginable to keep it up. H'e was, however, as: ire, that there was at this time a great danger of war, and he ' Wished to See a real surplus of income kept up. As to agricultural distress, if any partof it was removed. it was removed by a remission of taxation ; but the 22 millions 'of taxes alluded to by the Noble Earl, lia t been taken off, because they could not be paid, tedekhe Noble Earl must recollect the opposition which belied made last year to the 'hp& of some of the taxes, and particularly to the 11111 for . lacing a a part of the Malt Duty, which he roust now admit to have been productive of great relief and benefit to the country. It was, indeed, such a relief as no Sink • fag Fund ought to have interfered with. • Yet, 113:Witil standing, what had been said of the Sinking Vend els :- where, he thought the country ought to have one, and, • therefore, he should not oppose the present 11.11. Lord KING inaititained that there was no other sur plus of revenue than three millions, and that it was a mere delusion to talk of a saving of two millions, which was nothing more than borrowing a sum to that amount from posterity. As to the Bill then before the House, it was one of ate amphibious nature. There wrs no provisos whatever in it for tie payment of money ad vanced to the Emperor of Austria, amounting, with min ,arok interest, to about twenty ; and he •tbought the Bill ought to lire,: a preamble to this effect : Whereas a large sum of money had been advanced by this country ate loan to the Emperor of Germany; be -it enacted that, whenever the same shall he recoiered from his Imperial Majesty, it shall he hauled over to the Commissioners for paying off the National Debt." Lord ELLEN BOKOUGH thought the real Si nlii nl4 , Fund was not five, but three millions; and he wiled to hear that point expl lined by the Noble Earl. If there was a real surplus fund of five millions, he- thought that sum ought to be taken off in taxes. His Lordship contrasted the situation of Europe as it now was with, what it had been in lalB. At that tine there was a prospect of peace being preserved; bat now there was every probability of a long war on the Contineut, lii the year NIS there might have been great reductions its, the expenditure of this country, but none were made. Lord BEXLEY made some observations in defence of the Sinking Fund. The Bill then went through a Committee ; and the House adjourned to Monday. DOUSE Old COMMONS. • Mr. U.
