It bed been stated that, in Manchester, the health of those in the manufactories was better than the healih of 'haat otherwise employed. Sir F. BUR DEW said, the howledge of the Imre . facts that children were kept at work in an unwhole some stmoipbere from four or fire in the morning till,- perhaps, nine or ten at night, rendered it suffi ciently obvious that the practice was destrictive in *my way to their morale and their health. He hoped .the 'House irould not allow• this question to be put et; and that the Hon. Gentleinen would take care that there sboeld be no unnecessary delay in his pro ceedings. Lord STANLEY made some 'explanations respect ing the numbers in Sunday School,. Mr. PEEL explained, and observed, that a Peti tion signed by 6000, had been said to he signed by persons actuated by a dangerous spirit. The present Petition was framed on the principle of being signed by those arho were not interested parties. 'Mi. PHILIPS explained, and the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. RE vORM. Sir FRANCIS BURDIs'T'I" presented a member of Petitions for Parliamentary Reform, from Wiry.. le.bonne, Lambeth, Parldingtnn ' Retires, Batley, awl other placer; 'bow* 30 le sti. Ordered to 14 on the table. Mr. LYTTEUION noticed the delay in present in.: retinae of Glass Duties. • lawfully as eel itiodne e net,' he tht !,t 4. I .tiailledns' Iffered fro! _, Aip..l4r, depres sion. •In fact, when he : lo oked' al l the,Jeyedutt, be found that . this hide, of which, *OO hotel so deplorable a history, hod bees, left IA the i amount of 17,0001: in the last quarter.- 7 1 igr ry kearl 'from the Chancellor of th e Exchequer TrelOppogh it 7 , had been anticipated that there w,xla be a( , Vlr fon- ' siderable deficiency. It appear •Ilit ttic:me pen upon the table, that, in the year ending she Oth of Jemmy, 1811, this trade' had produced 348,0001.; iu 18f 1 t, 395,0001. ; in 184, 674,0601. Lin 1814, It fell to 656,0001.; hot this was pot the first year ht peace, when , it might be iuPpoied that this tied., as Well as others, would suffer a temporary degree. 'inn. In 1815, It rose again to 674,0001., theme amount as in the preceding year. This, win a skik log proof, if any were wanting, that this itade,was subject to the same fluctuation as others , and was not affected by partial circumstances. In the year end itig on the sth of January, 181 T, it amounted to . 596,0001. sod on the sth of January, 1818, to 595,0001. Thil„ it would be remembered, was the sum charted; but the sum levied was considirebly more. From all that he knew and hid heard en this subject, he. had no hesitation in declaring, that the trade was now reviling. They bad been told, indeed, .that although this was the case, the trade could not be said to he reviving, because the number of bankruptcies had greatly Increased. But he petit to may 'Gentleman to say, whether it was not notorloall that the general trade of the country, during defeat , L abree "Roar years,. bad out MOO a tirade tether of 'spec . 'Plotkin than of acteal benefit • end if this were conceded, as it must be, what, be would ask, could be alleged to show, that this trade was more exempt. ed from such consequences than any other ? The tanners had increased their capitals, in the hope of enlarging the profits of their industry, and they had suffered the inconvenience of this rashness. There was one fact which he deemed it of great importance to mention, in order to prove to the House that this tax had not pressed with peculiar severity on the trader* themselves. During the last ten years the seas for which Extents had been issued against those who were engaged in this trade did not exceed the sem of 20001.--,( Hear, hear ! from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.) —With respect to the argument, that the diminution of this tax would increase the climber of licences, he would beg to observe that in the Malt Trade, if we looked at the number of licences since the repeal of the War Malt Duty, we abeold find that the number of licences had decreased. — [Bear, hear I] —He contended, that if this trade bad suffered in any degree, it arose from a general curse, and could not he explained by soy specific and pe culiar cause. It had merely experienced the commmit fate of all other branches of trade. But this tax, it appeared, had been objected to, because it premed on apiculture, and affected the common necessaries of life. The whale of ibis moment, he- thought, had been greatly overcharged. its the first place,.llll maintained, that it.did not amount to fitte.penee.at acre on the r whole agriculture of the country. A, to the necessaries of life, be s pgreed, that, as a general principle, taxes which went to prevent their enjoyment shuold not be imposed, ,ipipsuch es they were semi tioui ; 'tet t be said, that if had been found essential to lay taseillp all the neseiseriee,e( life. what could be urged to eattept this part cular article? He pray.. ed the House to remember, 'that this nag not a gees. (ion to he decided on local_.or partial considerations, but on, general gruoods. Igt was ;heir duty , to sop port the Reline/1i and if the expenditure of the country had been reduced as low es possible, hew could any further rmduction of the Revenue he.pro• posed ? The prosperity of the country depeeded on supporting the Revenue, mod the House must not trifle with public credit. ( t :l'he Hon. Member con tinned to speak for some time longer in the seme.line of argument, beta continued coughing in the 'Loose rendered him Inaudible .in the, ; eallery.)-10 CPA. eluded with expVessiog his firm sad sincere conviction that this tax waresseinial to the Revenue, and that it did not presi with any degree of severity on the trade. For these' reasons, It, moved an amendment, that the Bill be reads-third listen thisday sit months. Lord A LTHogpe perfectly agreed with the Ho twistable Gentlamen,,that it it was the duty of Par liament to support the revenue; bat it was a superior duty to support the mauefacturee from which that revenue was lobe derived. If this trade was in such a. state that it would not bear the tex t that tax ought to be taken off. The Noble Lord proceeded to show that the leather Trade bad suffered greatly from the 'additional vas imposed in 1812, and to ergo the pro priety of its repeal ; but from the .rise in the -House we wera preowned from hearing so latch of what fell from his Lordship; as to nature no giving any ao. count 4,..f it. . - ,; E~ • 1 4 Mt.• • • . i - Sir -;,` ...-• _ •—• , ~, , • , „ • ~ , 4., • - - 4 - -. * . s : . . ..

That from the great burden of the delivery, they bare declined the publication of some of some ex pensive works, and especially Baron Ilutisboles Non-descript Plants of South ArneriLa ; that they ere already obliged to leave another copy at the primer's, by the .Sedition Act ; that although the Re•. Mr. Todd presented .from himself one copy of his edition of Johnson's Diciionaq to Sion College, they demanded soother copy under the Act; that that English Universities psi no duty on paper, and ran therefore undersell booksellers, sad are nor► so printing an edition of Scapula Lexicon, against one published by the London bookcellers. They preyed the House to consider the subject of Copy- Rights. Ordered to lie on the table, sad to be printed. A Petition to a similar effect was preberited by Mr. [IAN'S' EMU'S, from Lackington and Co. Ordered to liP on the table.

On the order of the day far the second reading of the Leather Duty Repeal Bill, Mr.C. G NT, jun. rase and observed, that the Petitioners for the Repeal of the Leather Duty came before the House under rather singular circumstances. If the House looked at the situation of the leather trade during the last century, they would see that every other *elide had horn* additional burdens, ac cording to the state of public affairs, except the lea• thee trade, up till 1812. All•.our staple commodi ties, and even the necessaries of life, were taxed ; but this single trade was exempted. If they looked at the diderence in the value of many, they would see{ that the proportions were now inferior. He denied that taxes coold always be imposed in strict proper.
