Lord MILTON put it to the Hon. Member for Tatentonj.Vlr. Baring). whether it were wise, even in his view of the subject, in order to maintain the value of the funds, to go on with this grinding system of taxation. He wished him to consider whether it would not be better to leave capital in the pockets of the people to fructify, rather than thus tear it from them to support a fictitious credit. With respect to the tax under considera tion, he agreed with those who considered it oue of the most mischievous taxes which could exist. He referred to a speed' delivered from the throne in 1741, which recommended that duties should be taken off raw materials fur the encourage ment of trade and commerce. He agreed with those who declared that agriculture was the basis of our wealth ; yet manufactures were the shaft. and commerce the capital of that column. it was by the industry of our manufacturers and the enterprise of commerce that our rents were paid. If manufactures and commerce were driven away by any impolitic interference, we should retrograde to that state of agriculture which existed in Poland. Ht thought the malt tax would have beets the Most advantageous to take off, but if the House should agree to take off this, be should moire that it be an instruction to the Committee to insert I clause to take off the duty on foreign wool. lie reminded the House that he had now four millions of surplus revenue or SiiiVng Fund, not now kept up ou the principle which that fund was first established by Mr. Pitt. In fact we now paid four millions of taxes in order to mate' the fandbolder's property more valuable, mud in his opisios they might just as well lay est four millions of taxes, to retitle in land or corn, is order to keep sip the prima of those two articles.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH fiQU ER said, it ap peered the object was not only the repeal of Ibis tax, but of all other taxes to which Gentlemen might Sod any °Nee tion. This was the beginning sail operiug of a g t es smelt as the finances of the country, soil the extent to which it might be carried was only to be guided by the dis cretion of the parties carrying it on.—(Hear.)—He felt that it would be impossible (or any Government to go on, sad to support we complicated a systems of finance as ours, whit ey! the minima and firm support of Parliament he foe one should despair of e ff ecting it under a continue d system of shark on the revenue.

The amount of this tax was said to be very trifling, but it was highly important to repeal port of the Consolidated Fund. Thu measure was said to tee accessary to euforce ectssomy ; but that was quite superfluous, his Majesty's Governmesit were holly impressed wills the Necessity of it, and had dune all that was puissitile, and (as we understood the Rigid Hun.

It was 'chasm !edged that the repeal of this tax would prods'. e rio guest ad vantage so agriculture, whilst it would operate very iujori iiiiiity 011 the . For these reasons lie should move the previous question. Mr. SCARLETT said his Impression in favour of the re peal of the tax was net at all weakelied by any of the argu ments of the Right Honourable Gentleman. The speech of that Right Hu.ourable Gentleman he considered the must unconstitutional which lie had ever hearth pronounced in that House by any Minister of the Crown. The r i uestio u r,r the House to consider was, first, whether the poblic credit were to be supported; anti neat, what was she best means of supporting it. The proiripte seemed to I.e perfectly understood; it was in the details of the Hight lion. Gentiemon's argument the fallacy seemed to lie. This was seta tax 'hat would lures. upon meadow or grazing laud, lint upon .vie wady. One of the arguments of the Right Hon. Gentleman (.f so it could be called) was, that the removal of this tax assailed the revenue. Hut, if Mi nisters reduced the she elefigiemy would soon be mode up, and the 1110011111 of this tax sunlit go to relieve the burden. of the people. He had also said du,. • very sensible reduction would be made its the expenses of the cavalry nest year ; hot lie believed she House would agree wells him that the best way to the performance of the Right Hon.

Bet he was • Member of the Aerial,. tarsi Committee, and had paid coutsiderable attention to the enhject, and having examined the 112 Petitions that were laid before She Committe, he could only And one solitary Petition mention this tax, and that was oae from the hundred of Parkimore, in the county of Leicester, wad the reasisos they assigned were rather strange, for they said that be. cause the frame-knitters had been all oat of employment, ergo they should repeal the Horse and Malt Tax.

He was as mach disposed as maw to relieve the hordes im posed upon the country, by a long, exprosive, and exteaded war, but he thought it was too much to attribute all our dia. tresses to taxation. When the sissified°, two countries were compared, they should always consider the respective capital and popalition of each. Take Ireland, for example, aid it by a. means paid in proportion the same taxes as this country, becasoe its capital had bees so diminished, although it could nut be denied it was proportionally taxed. He objected to the present motion on all the grasads he had stated. It had bee. said on other mcasioas that " Know ledge was putt he said emphatically That credit was power; 11114 he therefore e•raestly called on the House to p.otcct that best and surest resource of the country's wel fare.—(lleor, hear.)

Doe of the great objections to the present tax was, the great Inequality wish which it fell upon the agriculturists. The pressure was augmented on the farmer in proportion to the difficulties wit► which he was surrounded. The Right Hos. Gristtestae (lir. Huskissoa) had spoken of substitutes for this tax, but instead of imposing a tax upon Parma, be would suggest as admirable tax, and that was a tax apse placensen.—(Lbud eirre.)—He could assure the Gentleman' who regimented the landed interest is that House, that whenever they wanted a 'substitute for the removal of an °premier tax, they would Sad a tax upon placemen at the present day a most productive source of revenue...-(ifnek lanabler and claws.) Sir CHARLES BURRELL supported the selective of the Ist Mr. CA I.CRAFT said, that although the question had been so fully discerned, he could not allow it to peas with. out remarking wpm one topic in the speech of the Right Hoe. Gentleman. He alluded to t►e use that °endemism, had made of the 112 Petitions of the people. Instead of ex amining their contents, to see whether any remedies could be applied to the grievances they complained of, it would seem dint all the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman was directed to see whether he could discover any error or omission to criticise. Thew Petitions were presented to the Committee, with • view to relief generally, not for the porpoise of poloting out a particular mode. He had re membered whew the Right Hon. Gentleman was out of office, there was no man more active in his cries for re trenchment. Rot since be weal into olive there was ao sp.eies of estrarragance, except in one instance, which he did not uaiGirmly supper,. Mr. HUSKISION captained. He said a more gross or unparalleled misrepresentation of what he had said respect. log the Petition's Mr. M A BER LY 'etude a few observation" (as we wader. stood) in f of the repeal of the tax. Mr. BROUGHAM said, it was most true the question bad hemi most fiely agreed on one side of the Hone?, and as folly on the other as the merits of Menge would allow, but be wished to state briefly the grounds upon which he should gire the motion his support. In the first instance, that lax sinned against all the principles upon which taxa tion could be justified. It was • tax imposed upon tools, upon an implement of labour, and one of the most essentfal implements used in husbandry. When the tax upon iron was proposed, one of the great objections to it was, that it tended to impose upon labour, and in proportion as it is. ereueeti the labour of • workman, in that proportion did it contribute to the tax; In consequence of which, that tax WAS rejected. But even that tax was free from an objec tion which the present lax contained, namely, its inequia. lily, for it fell equally upon •II by whom iron was used. The third objection was, that it fell moat unequally upon thine who were least able to pay it. He should not trouble himself in providing • substitute, for if the means were taken sway, Misaintrvs would square their expenditure ac cordingly. Upon all these grounds he should support the motion for the repeal of the tax. . _ • After a *hurt reply from Mr. CURW EN, the gallery was cleared for a division : The numbers were— Fur the Repeal Against it ll3 Midorlig against Ike Minister .. 28 On our retorts to the gallery— Mr. CURWEN brought in his Bill, which was read a Arm time, sod be proposed the second reading for tomorrow (this day). The CHANCELLOR of the CHANCELLOR objected to to-morrow as being an inconvenient day. Mr. CURWEN said, that after the measure had under gone midi a full and complete dismission be hoped there would be no further opposition given to it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he by tin means considered the vole of the Howse to-night a Anal decision. Mr. CURWEN said, he should feel it his duty to persevere he Axing the ',cowl reading for 10-morrow. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that the sense of t►e House ' might be taken when the Report was brought up.

On Wednesday evening his MAJESTY gave his annual entertainment to the juvenile branches of the Nobility, Gentry, and persons of distinction, at Carlton Palace. The Kinn, with • view to pre vent his young guests from being under any re straint, commanded that no State or Court etiquette or ceremonies should be observed. The invitations this year extended to those of very tender age, which was the case with the twie young ladies, the daughters of the Count and Countess MUNSTER, one of them will not be four years of age till the 17th of August, mid the other is o n ly five. His MAJESTY also most considerately com manded the early hour of half-past eight o'clock for the time of invitation, at which hour they began to arrive, all anxious, no doubt, to enjoy the high and distinguished honour of visiting the KING. The only exterior appearances fur the enteitain ment in the Palace-yard were some lumps, in con sequence of the side door being opened for the re ception of Chairs, &c. Townsend and Sayer, with an assemblage of constables, were in attendance, to preserve order and regulate the carriages. The entertainment was given in the lower suite of rooms, the vand stair-case leading to them from the Octagon Ilall, were decorated with grown trees and flowers, from the Royal Gardens et Kensington, Kew, &c. which had a most delightful effect, as well as a most fragrant perfume ; this was also the case in all the rooms opened for the . occasion , and in cluded the whole suite with the exception of the new dining room at the east end, which was finished and opened for the receptioisof the Sovereigns when they visited England, which was- reserved for the supper. The conservatory, and a new temporary room erected in the garden, were also decorated with trees and perfumed with flowers. The temporary room had been put up within the last three days for refreshments of fruits and confectionery of va rious descriptions, the most choice and delicious, by the King'. confectioner. It was very neatly lined with fluted white, ornamented with pink, the top similar, resembling the form of a tent; from the centre hung a very neat and elegant lustre; the .0 cess to it was from the room adjoining the bow.room. In another room tea and coffee were served. The elegant Chinese lanterns in the Conserva tory were lighted, this delightful place was also illuminated by patent lamps. The band, con sisting of Mr. Rice, Mr. Tully, and ten other eminent performers, were stationed in this place. Some card tables were prepared in the Library for the parents of the visitors who chose to amuse themselves id that way. The room set apart for dancing was the King's old Dining-room, adjoining the Conservatory, which was chalked with fanciful and appropriate device.. To keep it as cool as passible the windows which look into the garden were opened and tight white blinds pot in ; however, the wind was found to be so extremely cold they were obliged to he closed. Their Rapti Highnesses the Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Princess Au gusta, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Feodor were present. The King entered the rooms set apart for the entertainment soon after the juvenile party began to arrive, and most affably conversed with them. The room set apart for dancing wss extremely crowded, and much inconvenience was consequent ly experienced. At niae o'clock dancing commenced, and con sisted of quadrilles, particularly by the youngest part of the distinguished assemblage, which be ing observed by the Princes* Augusta. her Royal Highness very kindly and judiciously interfer ed, and matte ouch an arrangement as wholly to obviate the difficulty, by dividing the assembly, conducting the greater portion into theConaervatory, where three sets were formed behind the hand, and two sets remained iu the front of the band as be fore. Her Royal Highness afterwards sat on a sofa in the Conservatory, and enjoyed the juvenile scene extremely, which continued till a little after eleven o'clock, when slipper was announced, and they were conducted to the royal banquet in the room as above described, where, it is needless to say, mil delicacy, particularly suitable to juvenile appetites, were provided. _ . After supper the youngest part of the assemblage were conveyed home, the merry dance was then recommenced by the elder children, in which many of the parents partook, and some waltzing was introduced, in which Lord Greases and Lord MouniCharlea were particularly distinguished. The whole of this interesting culerlainnsent con cluded soon after one o'clock.

JUTY received the Deputation from the City of Coventry with their Address. accompanied by their Representative, Mr. PETER Moons—Mr. ELLICE, the other Representative, was prevented attending by family misfortune. They were introduced to her MAJESTY by Lord noon. Her MAJESTY re ceived them most graciously, and remelted the gracious Answer which follows their Address:— TO NM MOOT TICILIANT WAJISTY CAROUSE AIIRLIA LLITABITII, QUOIN OF GOUT BRITAIN! AID All- LAND; May if phase pour lifajfely. Re, his Majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, Inhabltaista of the City of Coventry, beg lease again to approach your Royal Presence, and In give utterance to our feelings of loyalty and devotion is your Majesty—feelings which have increased from the sub•rgsent ruetemplstio• of your Ma jesty's lofty and heroic demeanour. A conspiracy, eswlnalled for its atrocity in the animals of civilised nations, was formed agsinat your Majesty; " Per jury slept forth to swear all true ;" • venal band of pen sioners and placenses was arrayed against yon ; but " He who is higher than the H laughed them to scorn :" He who protects innocence, however persecuted; and virtue, however oppressed, MA remelted yaw from their toils, and their names will be known to posterity in association with whatever is mast vile avid disgraceful in the page of history. We congratulate your Majesty on the conclusion of Ih• woeonstitetional proceedings Instituted against you, te►- minating as they did, in the clearest manifestation of your Majesty's unsullied honour; ■nd we only lament that malignity should so long retain possession of the human heart, as still to debar you the full enjoyment of the privi lege• of your exalted station. Although your Majesty may he excluded from the vain pageantry of a Coronation, and although yonr name be not Included in the formal prayers of the Established Church ; yet, under these Ptyalin's, your Majesty may well commie yourself ender the rwdeetinn that you are crowned with • nobler diadem—a people's love—and that million of hearts pour out their daily aspirations to the Throne of God, that he will shod his choked blemines on your Mojeaty. We now, en behalf of a considerable portion of its isha bitauts, tled your Majesty's seecntaace of a Wairk the entire manufacture of the City of Coventry; and we present it in the hope that it will measure to your Majesty many, many years of uninterrupted health sod happiness. The QUEEN'S Answer to the foregoing Addeo* : This Address from the Inhabitants of the City of Coventry is conceived in such a spirit of kindness. and breathes so tenth sincerity of affection, that it will not readily be obliterated from my memory; nor can I be insensible to the valuable sod elegant token of their regard, in an exquisite a specimen of their skill, with which it is eccompenied. The result of the late conspiracy against my booster as a woman, sad my diguisy as a Queen, has added another signal testimony to the salutary truth, that even • reluctant Government must yield to the moral energy of the popular voice, when it Is clearly and unequivocally expressed. That conspiracy was such a tissue of falsehood, tweedy, cruelty, and esery species of bereaves, that, for the honor of human nature, I with the recollection of it to he as evanescent as the impress*" which it has left upon my breast. If, Malted of being the Consort of a King, I had pet. seared as independent Crown, I should have considered the love of the people an the brightest jewel in the diadem which I were. It is the will of the people that consecrates the origin of power; bet it is the love of the people that alms, can snake the possession of the sceptre pleasurable, or the enjoyment of sovereignty sweet. if I am not, like farmer Queens, to participate in the august ceremonial of the Coronation, the regrets of the people will cause this very indignity to constitute my aggro+ distillment rather than my humiliation. THE QUEEN'S CONCERT. On Wednesday her Majesty the Queers had her first Concert ■t Cambridge House, which was at tended by a splendid circle of Nobiloty and Gentry. The superb Drawing Rooms were brilliantly ilium,- noted, and refreshments of every denomination were ►erved to the numerous company before the Con cert begun. The company began to assemble •t nine o'clock, and the Concert war opened exactly at ten. The music was a choice selection, and the Performers, male and female, were of the first clam, and contitmed, with intervals of relief, till lit o'clock, when her MAJESTY retired. Amongst the numerous visitors were— The Marquis sad Marchioness of Taiiistnek, Earl and Countess Potwilliasn, Earl and Countess of livery, Lord sad Lady Milton, Lady Aim Hamilton, Lady Prnacis, Lord Robert Spencer, Lord William Filirgerald, Lord Areliihald Hamilton, Drama Sir R. Ferguson, Sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Rrotegham, M.P. Mr. Denman, M.P. Mr. Creevey, M.P. Mr. Pete► Moore, M.P. Mr. Home, M.P. the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. mad Mrs. Thorp, Mr. Sheriff Waith man. Sm. &e. ke. There was an elegant display of refre►htnenta for the company who chose to stay and partake of them. As the company assembled and retired, the popu lace, who filled the street and every avenue to the house, successively greeted them as they were an nounced, with repeated cheers. When the whole company had departed, which was after one o'clock, her MAJUTY, accompanied by Lord and Lady HOOD, returned to Brandenburgh-honer. On Sunday, between twelve and one at noon, tremendous hail storms, accompanied with thunder and lightning, visited this city and neighbourhood. The hailstones were generally the size of the largest pease, and in some places maws composed of hailstones, larger thou an egg, fell, and were pick. ed up by several persons in and near the city. (Herefra Journal.) TUX 13Wl i sn PRES S. LONDON, FRIDAY, Jam' is, isti. A Petition or 11 very singular nature' was't.te- • - • noted last night in the House of Lords, the pur ' port of which was to complain of an extension of spiritual jurisdiction on the part of the Bishop of PETEIBOROIJOH. It appears that a Gentleman, duly qualified fur orders, applied some abort time ago to• this Reverend Prelate for ordination, and produced a certificate from the Archbishop of You, signifying that he had signed the 39 Ar ticles of the Church of England. The ~r Presartottouou having satisfied himself upon this point, offered the candidate 87 questions sod an swers upon points of faith fur Ins signature. The Gentleman not conceiving that the Bishop of PLTERBOROUGII had • power to frame any addi tional article. of faith for the Church 'af"rhOstrid. , very.propetly refused to affix his signature to them. mod for this refusal the Bishop declined to grant him oniinatiun. The matter was last night sub mitted to the House of Lords, but the Bishop dis claitnet the authority of the House to entertain • question affecting this privilege of the Eiiisropol Briieh, and declared that the power of wanting or withholding ordination rested altogether in the di.- creti of the Bishops. The House was evidently unwilling to press the matter, and the Petition was " not laid on the table. Last night in the House of Commons Minister. experienced a signal defeat on the motion kr the repeal of the Husbandry Horse Tax. Mr. CURWEN moved for leave to bring in a Bill for that purpose, which was carried by a majority of 28— there being 141 in favour of it, and 113 against it. However, the Cilancettoa of the EXCIIFATIER observed that decision was not to be considered final, so that most likely another effort will be made un the second reading, which is to take place this night, to defeat the exertions of those who endeavour to effect some retrenchment.
