Lord Vernon and the Bishop of L.ichS l.i ani Co ventry took the oaths and their -eats. The Bills on the fable, tt.e Irish (fait-rent, 'fur key 'Tobacco, etc. Bilis, were read a wird time, and passed. Lind HOLLAND presented a Petition from certain Debtors 'confined in the King's Bench Pri son, praying for relief. It WAS by no means his in- tention to grounA any motion on this or suchl-ke Petitions, as had ptssed the House last Session. His objed was, in presenting it, to solicit the atten tion of :1 Noble Eatl (Moira) who had already de voted much of his time and atteniii.n to this sub jed, and also of a Lnroed Gentleman (the Solicitor general) in the other douse, who, with ,uch might co operate in it, to unite their endeav 'ors in making some improvements in the laws between debtor and creditor. Such improvement, he had r PAS( .1:1 to believe, way a great desideratum ; and he, for one, was certainly very anxious to see it effefted• For the prevent. be should content him.eif with ex ptessiog that wish, and moving, " That the Petition do lie upon the Table.---Ordered. FINANCE. The Earl of WARWICK rose, pursuant to no. lice, to draw the attention of the House to a subjett to which he hail Alluded on a sormer day. It was a stahjed dry and difficult in its nature, and from the little pitACtice and pretension he had as a Parlia mentary speaker, he could not be expefted to ex• pand or enliven it much. In the present critical state, however, of this country, and the civilised world, when no rational hope could be entertained of any solid and permanent peace,till France was dis abled from putsuilig her system of aggrAnlisernent and of plunder, and when the protraOton of the war must every day Aggravate the burdens which Alt rm.!) , weighed so heavily upon the people, he felt it his dirty 1 to exert whit poor Abilities he possessed, to alleviate and equalize those burtbens, as the most elfeeturd means of enabling the country to prosecute die con test with vigour and eff.ift, for it was not easy to lot ewe its termination ; and the longer it continued, the heavier must the burden of taxation press upon the people. Indeed, in his opinion, it would be im possible to go on under the Financial System at pre sent pursued by His Majesty's Government; and, under that coovietion, he nad turned his mind to the subjeft, and had happily hit upon one hitherto wholly unthought (Wand entouched, which, if adopt ed, would furnish toe only fair mode of taxation, that of equally and equitably distributing the pres- Isure of the present burdens on the shoulders of all His klajesty's subjeas. The Noble Lord 1 here took a piper mat of his pocket, and ob served, that, it the House allowed him to read it, they would dud his system developed in fewer words than he could otherwise convey its bearings and tendency to their Lordships. His Lordship then proceeded to reed the paper, and to thew that the drift of his system was to tax capital ; tha: property could not be accurately defined; that it could be de scribed only by its sign, labpor ; and to Labour only, as its sole source, was Al property to be referred. This should, therefore, be the criterion of all taxation, and not income or peopetty. which was now made the chief objea ot taxation.— lu illustrate this position , the Noble Lord einemd into a variety of calculations, founded on the amount of the population, and of the expenditure of the country. The population he took at twelve millions and a halt for Great Britain, and the ex. penditure at above thirteen hundred millions an nually. He divided the population interviewee, who expended from sixpence to twenty shillings per clay ; and entered into calculations to prove that, by 3 tax of ten s h illings only per cent. on that expenditure, there might be raised thirteen millions and a halt, which iiitwo millions snore than is now raised by tlv_i Property Tax, which is universally fit to be on. equaily burdensome and oppressive, while the por tion wide's he assessed on each individual, would scarcely. if at all, he felt The Noble Lord would not &Agin the House, by entering, minutely, into bis psneh, as they would be better understood by referrire to the paper, which he should now lay or the Table, and which he moved to be referred to a Cormektee to consider and report. Lord CRtIVILLE observed, th it on account of its informality, the motion could nut be entertain ed by the Home ; for the piper to which the N o . ble Earl hail alluded, was not regularly before the House, and therefore could not be made the subjea of discussion and in•:cs!igition. He Vidia convinced that the Noble Earl tea, aauated by the purest sense of duty to the public, in iihruitting his plan to tiro House; but, upon con I,'et nion, lie seas equall7 convinced, that the Noble Earl and the House must soon perceive that such it system WAS wholly im. pra.!lii able. In point of theory, no doulit ' it was siliple and comprehensive; hut all the financial knowledge and experience v. hich a length of wars had acquired, only tended to prove, that when such • systems were attempted to be brought into ornatce, they were attended with ten times more 4.l4ficully and inconvenience, than those which they were in tended to displace. So far from that boasted sim plicity being conducive to fajlitate the collection, and enlarge the amount of the reveniv, it was found necessary, as in the Property Tax, to vary the principle of it into a multiplicity of modes of opa -1 ration, in order to get at the amount of what pro- perty could be made liable to it. The Earl of WARWICK would not allow that his plan would weigh mote heavily on the poorer classes ; one the contrary, it would Alva the em ployers only, not the employed. 'the Earl of SELKIRK reminded the Noble Earl, that when he computed the population of ti.e country at twelve millions and a half, he took into the account women and children, who were not sup posed to contribute. The Earl of WARWICK contended, that he meant it only to affea men. On the ivlotion for referring the Paper to a Com mittee, Lords GRENVILLE and HOLLAND again objeaed to its irregulatky, and suggested to amend the motion thus, that it be aefurred to a Committee to consider of the best mode that can be deviled for increasing the revenue. The question was then put upon this motion, and negat:ved without a division.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS• 'f he following Gentlemen were appointed by ballot, to try and determine the merits of the Elec tion for Wick:— „I 41101 :;ir Wm. Middleton, El. Thomas Brooke. Flee.

Lord FOLK ESTONE said, that when he gave notice yesterday fir taking into consideration, on Monday next, the Petition which he bad presented relative to a vi"lation of the resolutions of the House, he did not advert that no order bad been made tor summoning the witnesses. It had been suggested, that it would be the most regular mode to convert that notice into an Order of the Day for summon ing the witnesses mentioned in said Petition. He should, therefore, move "That that Order be read fin the purpose of being discharged," and suSsti tUte in its place " That the following witnesses be called to the Bar on Monday next." This he di I as being the most regular and effectual mode of bringing the Petition under tile can.idcratioo of the I-louse. The Noble Lord then moved " That the following witnesses do attend at the Bar of the House on Monday next, viz: Witham Drake, William Drake, }nninr, Ann Drake, Tho mas Weatherhead,Jrd•n It rchard, Joh i P.lhm,JMni Reynald, Daniel Richardson, Christovher Richardami, Wm ren, and sinneothers whom he stashed." Mr. SHERIDAN said, that he need only answer the Nob!e Lard by observing, that be would be far from wishing to ohjea to any alteration. or any ad ditional Motion which the Noble Lord might choose to make, in order to throw light upon this subject. He could inform him and the House, that every Motion he should make upon the subjea, should have his most serious support • but he had. at the same time. to acqua•nt tiro. that he (Mr. S.) inte 'Jed to present another Petition against that Petiti oner and his agents, for whom he appeared, relative to some instances of subornation of perjary. Lord Folkestone's Motions fr . the calling of these several witnesses were then severally put from the Chair, and agreed to. Mr. Sheridan presented a Petition from the Inha bitants of Westtninster. relative to a Bridge to be built over the River Thames. near St. Clement Danes.—Ordered to be referred to a Committee.. The Sheriffs of London presented a Petition frum the Lord Mayor.

The said Sheriffs also presented a Petition from the 1407 C body. relative to the Improvement of the Navigation or t he River Thames, westward of Lon don-hridge.—Ordeled to be referred to a Com mit:ft. • Mr.LEIGii KICK expressed a swish to have the time protratted for receiving a Private Petition for Leicestershire.

Member, that the most risgolar mode would be. 1,4 r the Bootie to receive the Petition, and then hear any circumst ince; which mig!it he stigzested for delay, in regard to the Bill La be atm wards pro posed. Mr. KECK adeea. that it was per fealy impossi ble to bring in the Bdl he alluded to before ther.:;tli of March next, as it was for a very extensive pur pose, being fur the inclo.ure of several thousand acres of Land, in Leicestershire. The Petition was presented, and leave given to bring in ■ Bill, according to the prayer thereof. General Gascuyne presented a Petition on bvhalf of certain Merchants in Liverpool, trading to the ('Mast of Africa, praying for a cintinuance of the grant of t B,oool:given to them in the year 1805.

Baronet. whose Mot inn stood for this day, (Sir James Pulteney's Motion relative to F.nance) would, on account of the discussion likely to take place upon the Slave Trade Abolition Bill, post pone that Motion till Tuesday next. To this proposition Sir JAMES PULTENEY agreed ; so that his motion. relative to the linancisi Resolutions, stands fixed for Tuesday. • Mr. BASTARD obtained leave to bring in i s Bill for the furt:ier regulation of parish aFpreii tires. Mr. lIIBBERT said, he had to present a Peti. tion from certain West India Planters, relative to compensation on account , of the Abolition of the Slave Trade. They were such as had purchased lands Under grants of the Csown, and to whom 4 certain mode of culture was prescribed, by the 28th of the King. sea. 51, chap. 15. He begged to know, whether His Majesty's Ministers were authorised to canfent to such compensation ? • Lord HOWICK answered, that he had already stated, en a former occasion, that he was not au. thosised to ►igntty Ilia M.tjes:y*a pleasure till atter the Bill in question was pave 1.
