CURATES' STIPENDIARY BILL Lord IIAWICESBCILY p.Tipoveil several amend ments, in consequence •of the notice that he had given yesterday, which were agreed to. The Earl of LAUDEILDALE gave notice of an amendment, which lie should propose on the third reading, it not being competent for such au amend ment to Lie introduced in this stage of the Bill. A few observations were made by Lord Hamm's*. MIRY and Lord Hot/LAND. *llO sat drat, seeder" lug to the strict rule of the House in the Commit tee, no &amendment could be introduced to any clause which had already been read. The Repurt of the above Bill was thee brought op. WELCH COAL. COASTWISE DUTY SILL. Upon the third reading of this Bid, Earl BATMUMIT said, that it did not land with his approbation, because it was partial, by freeing one part of the kingdom from the har den of a duty. to the injury of other parts. Ile supposed that the Welch hail teamed this Italian froiu Scot land, where an Act of Parliament had takes off the duty, in a similar way, from all coals tarried coast wise ; but still it did not go to that extent of exclu sion as the Bill now nadir consideration. lie trusted there was nut a Noble Peer in that House, who had Scotch blood flowing in his veil. 4, that, would permit Scotland to be outdone is a bargain by the iuhabitants of I%'ales. In respect to the duty generally on coals, lie thought it one of bad policy, and, when the times would permit it, was one which ought, as speedily as possible, to be re pealed. But, in the present instance, he never would concur in • measure which should take the burden from a portion of the kingdom; this wo sld be detrimental to others, however beneficial it might be to Wales. The Earl of LAUDERD 1.1.6 considered the con duct of the natives of Gloucestershire somewhat similar to the alleged situation of the Scotch. The Noble Earl (Bathurst) would recollect the Mon mouth Canal, where every provision had been made to tremor tit,: interests of Gloucestershire. Pro bably the people of Wales had Nigro their lesson from those who had been benefited by the privilege* extended to them in that Canal Bill. Ili* Lord ship concluded by expressing sentiments favourable to the Bill. The Earl of Rolm's, on the some side, spoke in favour of the Bill. The Loan ANCELI.OII observed, that with all his partiality for the interests of the Newcastle Coal Owners, he did not think this Bill one way or another could affect theta. But he would not sit down without expressing his dissent from a Bill, which, while it relieved the principality of Wales., was injurious to the owners of coals so the rici. nits. Lord DYNEYOII observed the mode in which this Bill hod been treated was not perfectly fair; far after all the tiros had elapsed in which this measure had been discussed, ao opposition was 'hewn to it till the third reading. The conveyance of maim, which waii the chief object of this Bill, would tend to the improvement of agriculture. _ Lord litirKagatlitY n few words against the Bill, not on account of its giving relief, or (wing beneficial to a part of the kingdom which lie war. extreintiv partial to, but hteisuse diutinibliing the duty in favour acne particular place was not a fair principle. After 'owe observation from the Earl of Llistit- Lord HAWRESDURY said, that in the int iia 'stance buildheJs were going on to a greater exteut than it was de e med afie'rwar - ds prOpet - to give effect to, and the SU LI3 contained iu the Bill was thought adequate to uswer the purposes of that institution.. Th e Bill then passed through a, Committee, and warrephrted without any amendment. STAMP DUTY BILL • Upon going into a Cuninutitee on this Bill, Lord Ito LLAN D considered it would be a derelic. tion of his public duty, if he did not make a few observations upon the present bill. It hail been brought into that House with a title denoting it to be different from .chat it really was, and o* , - that account derogatory to the importance and dignity of that branch of the Legislature. But settimg aside its hypocrisy, it affected the landed prope;ty tit a very hisproier manlier, by tusking a man pay for the transfer it a time when be was most unable to contribute any tax ; at a time when distress or embarrassment obliged him to sell hi, land ; for the tax must inevitably fall upon the seller. In that mimicry upens which all our eyes were fixed, in Spain, a tax of this description, the Alc.aoola. bad perhaps niore.contributed than any thing else to the injury of that country. lu those provinces where this tax had not existed, there was a greater attention paid to agriculture, commerce, and every other object of industry. The Bill also affected the shipping interest, its respect to the transfer of their vessels, and he mast condemn the mode in which it had compelled Attorneys to concern them selves with the collection of the revenue, for, in a summary way, they were to be struck off the Rolls. if they concealed the amount of the property so transferred. Although not being printed he had not un opportunity to eaawine it so fully as he wished, he must express his disapprobation of the Bill as it regarded the subject. Lord HAWKIMBURY said, that, in reap. 1 to this duty &Him; upon the seller, and never upon thi buyer, must depend upon circumstances. it would depend upon the state of the market ; if there were more buyers, he couseived they would be ready to Haar tins Iserdins.. With respect to the abstract propriety of legal instruments, there might be some question, but st had been found necessary and cm -oient. Ile could not agree with the No ble Lord who spoke lust, that the land Darner felt any more grievous bunko than those a ho possessed . . either pers'onal or commercial property. The L.irl of ltosst.rx argued, that the Bill was a dangorons eacroachmerit on the lauded interest of the country, by laying a considerable tax on this species of property, of which, by the provisions of this act, the agents of lauded gentry and their attorneys were to become, in fact, the collectors. the Bill was, he contended, deficient in its pro fession ; for though it was stated as the principle of thedlill, that the tax should in all instances be regulated by the amuout of tite property, yet whoa that property exceeded fifty thousand 'mewls in value, there was tIO additional proportivaute stamp duty on the legal article by which it was trans ferred. The Earl of LAUDBROALE, with much spirit and'elearness, summed up the various argeractits which might he adduced to prove the inexpediency aid dangerous terdeney of the Bill, which he hoped lie should convince their Lordships was al together kuproper to become a legislative enact ment. lie regretted much that the state of the time's, mid circumstances of this country, called upon Parliament so repeatedly to sacrifice all psi. rate considerations of convenience and property to the service of the public. Yet be felt more than ordinarily agitated on the present occasion, as it must be evident that England was now acting on that principle of relined taxation, which the his tory of Europe, both modern and ancient, would show to he ever the forerunner of a nation's dis solution. This would be an inevitable con stluence of making the property of the country only valuable as it was marketable in the eve of taxation. To act upon this principle would prove not • only disagreeable to these upon whom the tax directly fell, but injurious to the lauded interest of the country. It seemed, in some clauses of the Bill, a property tax, laid on upon the geuerally established principle of such taxes; but it shortly after exhibited a new appearance, and instead of beinig imposed in proportion to the pro perty, it was discovered that if two estates of 30,0001. value were to be disposed of, and secured to the purchaser upon stamped elides, according to the provisions of this Bill, not w ithiga n di ng th e one might be encuml wrist with inortgages or bond debts, to the amount of 215,0001- this property would be subject to the seine stamp duty as the other, which had no ineninbrauce *hates cr on it. Hence it was evident, the property worth only 2,0001. would be saddled with an equal quantal).* of taxation as that of 30,0001. otid the proportion sai , l to exist between the property and the tax was altogether nominal. Mut tie had yet a w o re serious objection to the Bill. By the provisions of the Art of Union, the land-tic of Scotland %pi only to bear a stated proportirni to that of Br.gland.
