If it had cot been to the ccasideeation lie antiahed to theingiffle-" aoce of the Bill, and the delay occasioned by waiting for the deliberation and opinion of conspe tut judges, the measure would have been long since proposed to the House. It had alrea•ls been considered ai,d sanfliinied by the Board of Costons, and the Board of Teetde. ihere was but very little &femme of.opiniou on the subjett amon„e the most intelligent men. It was a schedule upon Which much 1 shour had been employed ; there were no less than fise thousand resolutions; and the schedule' pre vented the trouble of a general inspe,ction, by p:onipt reference to every article. Ik. need only say, that Mr. Frui t . a Iran of the most transcen dent charader, and extensive knowledge; had be s:ilwed the most tineennitton pains on it, and whar iher were its merits, they should be attributed to him. This. he also observed, e'-as a measure intro autiory to anether, of which he gave notice that it teas his intention to bring fteseerd, and which was of the greatest iinportaacc. He meant the bedding of Wathiyases for storing told bonding *articles of commen.e. The immigration of the measure pro. posed affftrded a moiled which was at once a source of deli:4l:u admiration, and astunithrtientein contemplating the immense resources of the coun t?"; its enormous capital ; its extensive ciedit-1 credit which lays the foundation of the chunkier of the country. The Right Hon. Gentleman here en tered into .t description of the resources and pro. gres.ive improvement of the revenues. lie stated, that within the last ten years the customs' duty had doubled, and the increase of our commerce and me t igation was more than in proportion. It 'was a solsjeeff of pride and satisfaftion to consider, that this nerease was against the pressure of unexampled difficulties • it was fl attering to our feelings, and lucid nut the fairest promise. He therefore should propose this resolution, that certain Duties on AVares and Merchandizes, and the Tonnage I)uties, .should be consolidated, and certain Vtities ex changed for others. He sass! his (skied was at pre'. sent to have the Chairman report progress, and have leave to sit again on to-morrow senmght. In the interim the sAedule may be printed fur the infor- Illation of the Committee. Mr. BUIWON objeaed to that part of the reso lution which respeected the Tonnage DutieS. The other measure intended to be proposed by the Right ;ion. Gentleman should have his warmest support ; a...A for the purpose of hastening its introdnaion, lie was in favour of the time proposed, that it may br reroduced this Session. General Cs' ASCOIGICE was averse to the short ness of the time proposed. The schedule had under gone same great alterations, and the subjeas which it contained were extremely numerous. It appears .that the Honourable Gentleman's intention is, where ever there is a karakul, to raise the duty to the next highest integral suns ; this he by no means could consent to. He did not see the present schedule ; and notwithstanding what had been said b 7 the Right Hon. Gentleman respea:ng the little difference of opinion which prevails on the sulica, he could state that a very large commercial town had not made up its mind on that snbje& We are not now, it seems, to expe.l this promised explanation ; the Right Honourable Gentleman denies having used the word iferafati.ry, (here the Chancellor of the Ex chequer exclaimed, lizar ! Hear!) but the Right Hots. Gentleman acknowledges that lie expressed a We that he should be able to make a communica tion in a short rime to the !louse ; but that he did not pledge himself to the nature of the communice fsn ; now as the Right Honourable Gentleman hid used the term Able. It must be understood that ' he meant to hold out a pleasing promise, for it cannot be presumed that the Right Honourable Gentle man could apply such a tetra to any prove& of conuntinication which would tend to the renewal of what we all deprecate. In concequence of the declaration of the Right Honourable Gentl e . warm, his comenueuts, waiting for the desired event, had delayed to call a meeting on the present subjed. He therefore wished for further time to consider of it; Air it looks as if the Right Hon. Gen tleman was inclined to precipitate the public busi ness for the purpose of proroguing Parliament.— l le then:titre ping fed that the further consideratiou should be deterred until this day fortnight. The CHMJCEI.LOR of the EXCHEQI.'ER said, the queetion before the House was ditletent from that urged by the Hon. Gentleman. As to the fear expressed respeehing the prorogation of Parliament, thcre Was businss to keep tt.ie House sitting, perhaps as long as the Hon. Gentleman mar wish. General GASCOIGNE wished his constituents may have time to assemble, and consider of tile . These wits not time to g:t an answer to a letter.

The Valr Yug.tiv,s. for there was no other ostensible cause, and still continue to rise. They left off yesterday at 671.—1 f the Minister saw that such was the im portant consequence that followed his declaration, and if he had reason .to fear that the construEtion put upon his words was stronger than they would warrant, he must naturally feel it a caw of deep - responsibility. He has been loudly censured by his adversaries for the impulse given to the Funds by his flattering financial statement in December last. What would not the same persons say now were he to positively promise a sad:. fadory com:nunication, and were the Funds to fall upon that communication proving unsatisfactory ? It would be said, that he ytood by a silent speda tor, while the public were giving to . him words which he never used, and were throwing away tlwir property in -specuLttions upon a false report. n'e do believe that it. was from this principle of delicacy and caution that Mr. Atmoauroa war SO atpaous last night to guard against misrepresenta tion, however slight in the pre , cnt case. Had any Messenger arrived in the course of the day, or had the weather not I-wen unfavourable enough to sc. count tcr the delay of the Messenger expeded, Mr. Aontsor ots's anxiet y - might have been imputed to a different motive ; but in the present state of things, we car. only consider it a!: a wish to restrain an over-sanguine temper of the public mind. He certainly could not know on Tuesday, the nature of his promised communication ; but he could, and probably did know, that he had brought the ne gociation to an issue, and hoped that the answer would be decisive of peace, fur until matters were brought to a conclusion, nobody could have ex peded any communication.

The gallery of the House of Commons was yis ttr4l4y evening crowded with strangers.

Alluding to what passed in the I louse on litettLiy last, Gen. CASCOIGNE observed, g , that the lard Hon.

Mr. ADDING I ow, in his answer; denied that he had used the term " satiladory ;" he said he had Only hoped to be able to make a communication, but that, as to the nature of it, no thing could have been asserted r as, in fast, he did not yet know it himself. We have examined all the Daily Morning Papers of Wednesday, and in evi dence of their fidelity and precision, we have the pleasure to find that they all agree in limiting the words of Mr. ADDINGTON to a mere hope of being able, in a few days,'to make a communication, or soffit communication, but not one of them has niade him promise a lallefag4l communication. Mr . At, n s,:rew, however, took care to add, that lei wished his wor..!s to he understood extoll} as they were, and that he 44 not mean the " slightest ,a. Irvin his first statement.
