end 1823, respecting the more exact venation and col ic, +ion of the revenue arising therefrom. Mr. HUME gave notice, that he would present a' petition to-morrow, from the inhabitants of . Cape Breton. Mr. B. COOPER e esented a petition from the pro rrietors and occupiers of collieries in the Forest of Penn, complaining that they were liable to Coal Du ties from ishick °theta werwixempt, atid praying fog. relief. Mr. RICARDO said, theti it was extremely sniped shit these collieries should- We-enbjeeted to restrithtstii from which others were exempt, and which prevented then proprietors from being able to enter into a fair compedet tion with the proprietors of other colleries. He did nob. see why some should be entitled to a favour which Urn not extended to all, and hoped that Ministers would some measure which would put all collieries upon ett terms. Mr. HUME was anxious to call the attention of . Nouse to this subject. Having been in Dam Wee time since, he made it his business to exansitie sad sea how the colleries in that neighbourhood were;,circume staneed, when he found that the coal of Chepstow wes'i exempt front Sea Coal Doty, while the coals of the Fo rest of Dean, though eight miles higher up the river paid it. This was peculiarly hard upon the proprietor, of the collieries of the Forest of Dean, who were thereby unable to enter into a competition with the proprietors of the collieries of Chepstow. By the exemption from the duty during the late war , Ch e p stow saved forty Shone sand a-year, sending 400 tons of coals daily to the Haslet market. He •hoped that Ministers would do Instice to the proprietors of the collieries of the I , west of Dean, and place them bpon canal terms with those of Chepstow. Lord (1. SOMERSET said, that when the =Wok, came before Parliament, be was ready to give it every at tention. Th e petition was ordered to be p rinted. ~ Mr. .l ERVOISE presented a petition from the horoda h of Portsmouth , complaining of the existing laws between, debtor and creditor, and praying for an *lteration in•theta t —Ordered to he printed. • • Sir R.

The liou-Mernher MO resented a petition from the Borough of Soutliwark,i praying for au auseadmeat in the Insolvent Debtors' Act. . ,‘ Mr. HOBHOUSE istid • that he felt it his duty to els amine the expenses of the present insolvent Court, m compared with those of a former period, and he found the difference so great as to call for some alteration in the cotnposition of that Court. In 1817 and the 1818, when pr.sided over by Sergeant Ruunington, amount the salaries and fees of the Commissioners and other offs-, c , rs of the Court was 9,9311 . 1 and in the present Court, within one year and a half, the amount was, 20,600 1 . The money paid into Court for one year, wbila under Se w . east Runntngton, amounted to 6,0001; and now the money paid in for one year and a half amounted to 6,3001. Thus, by the composition of the present Court, its expenses were three times greater thars.those of ,the old Court, while the money received now was one third less. Said) a state of things proved the necessity of. remodaling the Court. The petition was laid on the table and ordered to b printed. Sir ROBERT WILSON moved for Redone of the Aniount of Land Tax paid in the Borough of South wirk, distinguishing the charge *lion each parish. and the total am ount as sate the C omm issioaers, from 1819 up to the present period. The Hon.

COURT 07 melon 114 SCOTLAND. Sir R. FEROUSSON presented a petition from the lncortorated Weavers of Leith, complaining of the ells duct of the Court of Session in the case of John Hay, I be lien. Member stated that the petition was of consi derable importance, as it referred to the administration of jnetice by the Judges of the Court of Session in Scot land; yet he would not enter into the particular' of The case at present. He would await the opportunity when a petition would be presented from the aggrieved indi vidual, and he hoped that the Haase would then patient ly investigate the matter. The LORD ADVOCATE said, that when OW °Awe petition should come before the House, be would be pre , p tred to justify the conduct of the Court of' &sewn M.! would merely say that it was not the first time Mr. Hay's cr.nduct had been discussed, and he belieepdit was not such as to entitle him to much indtilgenee. ". ' Mr. 110 BIIOUSE said that inquiry was necessary.' It was perfectly immaterial what was the co nduct of Me. lil t y ;it had little to do with the subject. They were to examine the conduct of the Judges, whether it bad beet such as i ought to be in the adtmnistratioa of justice. I t was now necessary to enter fully into the subject, but he thanght the individual had some reason to complain, and partienlarly of the conduct of the Lord President Hope, who advised the prosecution, and was examined as a witness in the precognition, thus at once acting in the character of prosecutor, witness, and judge. Mr. HUME said that be rose for the purpose of eau tioning the House against the loose charge glade against ?sir. Hay by the Lord Advocate. He was sore that if the Lord Advocate himself went for certificates of character to Scotland, be could not procure better than those be held in his head of the character of Mr. Hay. He bad one from the Ministers of Leith, another signed by fifteen merchan's of that town, and another signed by twenty. five respectable inhabitants of Edit:burgh, to whom Mr. Hay was intimately knotn, all bearing testimooy to his respectability and his upright and moral charomeacter. Depart was surprised that the Secretary for the H ment had not interfered, when the hardships of this indi vidual were made knows to him. W ed to sh hen theow subject came before the House h e was prepar h justice bad been denied to this individual during a space of no less than fifteen years, a circumstance which relltht ed great discredit on the Bench of Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE deprecated discussion on the character of Mr. Hay, without notice. He made nit.' r .ference to the moral character of Mr. Ha say. He only ' alluded to the stat e of his mind, which was ck as made him first quarrel with his own agents, and then write' libellous letters to the Jiadges, which It was quite impos eblo tiley could overlook. •Sir R. FEROUSSON explained. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that the lion. Member for, Aberdeen compla ined of his not interfering, but surely] the lion. Oentlentao mutt be aware that the Judges or Scotland had as much right as any other Judges to be protected in. the exercise of their duty. His interference" at that time, so far from forwarding the impartial admi nistration of justice. would impede it. He was not dis posed to enter further upon the subject, till the petition of the individual came before the House. He would merely state that be saw grounds for criminating the Court of Scotland. The petition was 'laid on the table, and ordered to be print Sir ed. M. RIDLEY presented a petition from the Mer chants interested in the West India Trade, praying for tellet—Ordered to be printed. Mr. HOBHOUSE gave notice of a motion for the total repeal of the Window Tax (we believe) for the 11th of May. WARRNOUSINO I'LL.

He would certainly divide the House, if time Were not allowed to the Irish Members to consider the effect of the measure anon the linen trade. ' ' Mr. ORATTAN said, that the people of Ireland were not aware that the question was to come on . so soon.

Lord y John Russel's name was added to the Committee (we believe) on the Game Laws. - ' BEIM DUTIES ACTS. On the Houie going. Into a Committee on the Beer Du ties Acts, t The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said lie did not intend at so late an hour, to go at length into the details of the subject which he had to submit to s the op Coro. m -1 Witte. The course lie w ould now pursue wa t pose certain Resolutiots for the adoption of the Commit tee. If they were agreed to, he should afterwards bring in a Bill of accordance with them, and have it read a first time and printed, in order that the House and the coun try should have an opportunity of considering its provi elons previous to the general discasHons of the measure After the recess. The main object of the Bill was to af• ford the poorer sissies an improved sort of beer, at a , Cheaper rate than , they now p aid for, It, said by that mum to add, to their comfort, while the consequent increase in the consumption of beer and malt would contribute to benefit the agricultural and other interests of the State. At present therewere two citi fies payable on twosorts ef bee r ; the one was a duty of 10a. per barrel on strong beer, and the other a duty of per 'barrel on table beer. Formerly there wits also an intermedi ate duty on an article of intermediate qnality, but this c as uo longer the case, It was found. that as the strength of the beer approaChed to that which paid the higher duty, facilities were afforded for evading the Excise regulations and defrauding the Revenue. Any one, too, having beer 1 which paid 2s. per barrel, aad likewise that which paid 10s., might mix the two, and sell them mixed, by which the Revenue also lost considerably. At the same time, as the law now stood, the quality . which paid 2s. sold for 183. a barrel, and was of a very Inferior description, so that the poor man had at present no means of supplying himself with a good beverage, except by purchasing the beer which paid the high duty, at a higher price. He therefore thought it would be advisable to racer to an in termediate duty, if it could be done, under such regula tions as would protect the Revenue. It was, however.) necessary to prescribe some price at which this interme diate article should be sold; otherwise the brewer of ale aad strong beer might suffers severe loss, for the manu • facturer of the inferior beer might bring it up nearly to the standard of the other, and sell it subject to a low duty. lie therefore wished to apply to the brewer of the istermediate beer the same limitation of price as the ether brewers :sere subject to. Another restriction which he intended to apply to this description of beer was, that it should not be drank on the premises where it woe made. The clause he proposed was, that it should be competent to any person to brew beer not exceeding 275. per barrel Ip - price, and paylog a duty of ss. per barrel, and to sell it by wholesale or retail to any person, but not for con sumption on the brewer's own premises. This regula tion was partly with a view to obvious principles of po lice, and also not to put an end to the trade of licensed public houses. If the brewer of this beer were allowed bo sell it himself, it would give him an undue advantage over the licensed, seller, without his being liable to the supervision and inspection of the Police like Ohs latter. Of the intermediate beer be proposed tl.at 5 or 5e barrels of it, of 36 gallons each, should be made fro an qua m a quart ot er of malt, and that it should be sold in any qy n persons nine gallons, at Md. per togsallon. By this means, pe who were now obliged y a very high price for good beer could be able to procure it cheaper, and he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer ) flattered himself, with considerable advantage to the grower of barley, and with out injury to the proprietors of public houses. With re speet to the latter class of persons, he must say. that when the various modes of taxation resorted to within the last 20 years , which led to particular applica tions of capital, were considered, a sudden change might materially injure them. He was as much against direct or indirect monopoly as any man, yet he thought the interests of the publicans, who bad invested large properties In their trade, should be candidly, if not-li berally, considered by the Legislature ; and that they should not be thrown overboard in endeavouring to be nefit other parts of the community. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after repeating that he wished the present subject to receive the fullest consideration, concluded by merit% the first Resolution. He declared it to be the opinion of the Committee, that it was advisable to sanc tion the manufacture of beer at the rate of five barrels, or not upwards of five barrels and a half, from one quar 36oallons, f malt, a duty and un every barrel which, containing g r of ss. should be p of aid. Alderman WOOD, on behalf of the Publicans within flag City of London, who were his constituents, and 2,000 to Mosher. objected to the measure, because it did not Vika them to sell this beer as well as other people. ',__.‘ 11116. R. COLBURNE wishhe C ed know or from the Right H o nourable Gentleman (h to ancell of the Excise olio!), whether the present brewers might manufacture die new description of beer; also, whether it might be sold by refreshment houses paying a small duty ? The CHANCELLOR of tue EXCHEQUER said it a s not intended to prohib it existin g brewers from mak g this beer, but not on t he same p remises as the other beer; With respect to the refreshment houses, not knowing what places came under that denomination, he could not reply to the Hen. Member. , Me. BUXTON said offstha the Bill would do serious damage to a large body ublicans, but at the seine ' time it was so much the wish of the country, the agri iculturalists, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to ',adopt it, that he thought the most advisable way was for the Brewers and Publicans to yield with the best grace they could. After a few more observ ations from Mr. Bux ton*,, Mr. W. Williams, Mr. F. Palmer, and Mr. A Ideilaa Bridges, the first Resolution was put and carried. The other two Resolutions respecting the Licensing of the Brewers and Retailers of this Beer were also put and carried. The House then resumed, and the other Orders of the Day were disposed of. —Adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. -,.........----.—.....

We are tesolved never to treat Otis as a serious ;abject; and should now have dismissed it at once without a single remark ; but, in his speech upon Loan LIcZIPOOL spoke of its advantages in case ofwar and, if we had time to notice it, gave as pretty a descrip tion as heart could wish of the nature and tendency of war with regard to national wealth. The conclusion was, that some bow or other, war increased national wealth; but stilt, some how or other, war was not a prod thing. The Sinking Fond be represented as ne. cessary to enable the Government to go to war, when ever its honour, or safety, required it : but, he did not show how it was to give such ability. He took occasion to observe, that the " `Agricultural interest was reco vering!" Yes, greatly recovering! The last week's average price of wheat was, 435. 2d. the quarter, or nut quite be. sd. the bushel. This is Weed a recovering from 395. the quarter. That is to say, it is not quite so good for the manufacturer and tax eater ! bet, can re nts be paid at 50 *. a quarter ? However, lite delusion .will stand the Ministers in good stead. —lt will enable them to get along a little ; —it may carry them through the Session ; amt. with them, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. They are true practical politicians; if a thing will last them a week, that is better than a thing that wilt last them only a day ; but, a day is preferable to no time at all. They are deaf as adders if yon talk to them of what will take place to-morrow. Lord Lansdowo took this opportunity of saying, that, under all difficulties and all e mbarrassments, it was indispensable to maintain 111 tional faith; and he explained this to mean contiouini to pay the interest of the Debt in full in gold! There he is penned down, then. Yet, this Lord, in the conrm of his speech, said that the change of the property which bad taken place in this country was inferior to that on!, which is produced during a Revolution. This noble Lord seems to forget, that, i• fact, the transfer of pro pert) , is only beginning. The transfer of farming c ap. tat has taken place to a great extent; but, the actual transfer of real. estates is only beginning. When Mr. Ricardo talked about an Act of Parliament to make good Mies to the transferred estates, if be bad said that a law would become necessary to cut off entails ; to enable the owners of entailed estates to sell them in order to get looney to buy victuals and drink, he would have been tight enough. Such law must be passed before it be bong, or else the present possessors will actually be wAh• tut bread to eat In the House or COMIONS—Sir Thomas Lethbridge regretted that his motion about agricultural distress had dropped, in consequence of there not being members enough to make a House last Thursday ! Sir Thom bear us Or a moment: as long as corn can be said, wile= thee truly or falsely, to be upon the rise, though it be but one penny a bushel per mouth ; and though the causer be speculations on war, or apparent shortness of quantity, you will never get any body to listen to any motion about agricultural distress. This you may depend upon; and you may also depend that uo relief will ever be glven, unless quite an mode of proceeding be adopted, than the mode proposed by you. The eatates must be trans ferred, or, there must be a complete adjustment of con tracts, public as well as private. This you tremble at ; and its long as you tremble at thi., it is quite useless to talk about relief. The movements of the French have served, in a most singular manner, the cause of the Jews and Jobbers ; and we think it very likely that it will serve them and the Ministers to the end of the Session. — There was nothing else of any consequence except that the House went into a committee on the new Bill about duties on beer. This subject will come before our read ; ere again. But as far as we can see at present the Bill will not have that effect which the proposed Bill of Mr, Wm - -'s was intended to have. .roughain BOURBON WAR. We always said that the French would get to Madrid without the slightest opposition. This is admitted by the Morning Chronicle of to-day. It says that the Spa niards themselves admit that the French will get to Madrid with ease. If they do, they will establish a overnment in the name of King Ferdinand, and will proclaim all to be rebels that do not submit to it. We think that the settling of the business will require but a very short time; and we shall not be at all sur prised to see the leading revolutionists flee to England for safety; find in England not one single friend ; and then be compelled to flee for safety to the United States of America. In the mean time the French Chamber of Peers have been discussing the question of war uith Spain. The Morning Chronicle is surprised to tind in those discussions, "language contemptuous in the ex " treats towards this country !" Why should the Morn fltg Chronicle be surprised at this. It has a great deal more of this sort of langurge to hear, and we toid it so long enough ago. We told it that the French were not going to be base enough to crouch down at the sound of noisy English speeches and paragraphs. The Chronicle cites the speech of the Duke of Fitz-James. This Doke said that a member in the English-Parliament bad said that the allianre between France and Spain. establisher' by Louis the Fourteenth, was a source of powt prosrrity to France, and that, for this reason, he liked it. " Nothing," said the Duke, " could be het 11 said for an Engliehnial " bear such a sentiment man."—The Duke wen were to choose to oppose right which she herself 4 ' France would not hare She will feel, that to p " Government what is inj t , security, is an actual in 1, of France."—Nothing it is particularly pleasi that the French guage.—The Duke next the Congress of Vienna, peer Of England, that the terloo.
