The House would bear in mind that every question con nected with it had already undergone a long in vestigation in the Committee. The objections to the tax were sifted in that Committee. and the re sult of that investigation was, that the tax could not be dispensed with. Much had been said as to the oppressive effects of the tax ; but he would say, OM tatting it m conjunction with other taxes, there was not that disproportion which was stated, nor did it press heavily or partially on the pee le. As far as manufactarers were concerned, whets a fa vourable state .4 things would permit it, souse mu &fictitious might be made; but experience haul proved that the •expectatiosts on this subject so much held out, asid the hopes so sanguinely enter tnet!, were fallacious. When they were called oil to relsovethe agricultural interests from the tax, the most impatient fakeers were• sanguinely aliticip.itril. Three millions of acres were to have been im proved. and salt was to have bjen purchased in vast quantities; but what was the result •? About :MO tons of salt was purchased for agricultural pur 'Mari.; and this, comparKl with all they-hod heard, amounted tat nothing. Su far he was justtlable in 'drug, the effects anticipated did not follow the redaction of the duty ; and though the revenue was injured., the agricultural interests were little im proved by the measure. It had been stated, that front the great . consusuption of the article. Govern ment would he enabled to reduce the duty, bu(fur the present 1w was coostimed. front all that had dossed, from all he had heard and seen, that this was a delusion. Ile bad, nuked, Coo doubt but that in future years the frlOUfttS of the country might realize that which appeared hopelrsa, lissom ly, that the Government might derive a great re venue rroM sett, consistent with the cheapness of that dick and the wishes of the country. As to the fisheries, every relief should he exteudrd to them, and to the entire subject should be afford ed, and was afforded, lm the Cot iiiii Atm where th e s ubject was fully investigated, and whose opi nions, founded:is they were on the most ample and the must impartial considerations the subject could receive, should go a great way indeed to influence the upinMns of the House and the country. Mr. CUStWEN said there was no like so oppressive, sod none flout which the Country was more anxious to he relieved, as the Salt Duty. The Right Hun. Gestlemais who spoke last had vairl,llsat the tax was nut injurious, and alluding to the relief given to agriculturists 'last year, he expressed some (hoop- Isonstinent- as to the , quantity sold.

Barnard), and the year that the duty was abated' lind there were but 80 tons of salt purchased; its the resent year, however. there were 308 toils pur chased for agricultural purposes. There were, he said, upwards' of 1,100 agricultural experiments made, and he was sure that not one of them would fail to answer every object that hall been predicted. lie would„ he said. heartily rejoice to see the period whim a tax so mach opposed to the interests and the feelings of the casuistry would be altogether re pealed.

Last year there was ti great increase of consuniption fur agricultural purposes, and he had ssu doubt but Chit that consmsnption would increase tenfuldaw-he bad no d o ubt but that salt would he universally toted fur those purposes. Pressing as it did upon else public, it was to be hoped that the Government would reduce this tax at 110 very distant day. Mr IDATLNrORC implored the itlgla Hon.

After a few words from Mr. Tani AV M g, Mr. VssEir Ferocitooto said, there wag one ob•ervatiou of the Hon. Gentleman . (Mr. Calc►aft), which he could not pass over unnoticed. That Hon, Gentleman had alluded to the salt *sties in 1 In laud, and he threw out a hint as to the propriety of increasing that duty. Whrii the certain taxes were fixed for a period ail) years, at the time of the Ultimo, that agreement aid not at all imply that those duties were to be increased at the end of the twenty years--.they were fixed for that pe riod to cairn the irritation, and to dispel the ap prehensions felt in Ireland at the time of the Union. He was sure the House would see the im policy and the iiiiustice of increasing those duties. No tax would be more destructive to the best interests of Ireland than an increase of the salt duties—it would be destructive to her fisheries, the most im proving source of her trade, and it would be destruc tive to hur provision triode. He protested against it, and he felt it his duty to take this early oppor tunity of avowing his determination to oppose ally attempt that might be made to increase those ditties in 'lreland. Great as the tof the salt duties were, he would rasher give them up altogether, and meet, through some other means, the necessities of the State, than to •object Ireland to a tax which would tend to the destruction of her best in- wrests.

He would be then prepared to strew the whole was Wooled upon wrong views— that the interests of Ireland were sacrificed —that the objects held out to her were never accomplished, but that the entire was founded on falls:ions and di lustre principles. Mr. Cs t.crtarr rose to explain. Ile assured the Right Hon. Gcoolentan and the Ilion. Baronet tout he did not at all mein to propose any thing inju rious to Ireland. After a few words from Mr. GastaeLL, the mo tion was put sod carried. lIESSACE FRONT THE LORDS. A Message horn the Lords requested the attend ance of David Ricardo, F.►q. on Friday next, at their Lorthhips' Committee upon the affairs of the Bank. Mr. Ricardo received permission to attend their Lordships, in obedience to their Message. WISH 'WINDOW TAX. M►. HUTCHINSON rose to present a Petition from the Inhabitants of the City of Cork, praying for a • total repeal of the Window Tax. He begged leave to cull the most serious attention of the Chan cellos of the Exchequer to.the prayer of this Peti tion. It wus signed by *very large number of the inhabitants of the populous and commercial city which he lied the honour of representing. They shortly, but urgently. appealed to the just►ce and humanity of the House to rid them of a tax which they justly conceived was most pernicious and fatal to their true interests. former Chancellor of the Exchequer had distinctly stated that this tax was only to colitioue fur three years, or during the war. The redemption of this pledge of good faith the Peti. bones, indeed the whole people of Ireland,solicited from the hands of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He could state upon his own recruit aid actual know. ledge, that no tax in operation was more injurious tit the health of the people of Cork titan this of which they how complained. He could state apart his own knowledge. that the efforts of the people to reduce the oppressive burden of this tax by shut ting up their windows, had had the sad mid melan choly .41(.11, by excluding the means of proper ven tilation in their dwellings, of increasing in a very serious degree the ravages of the contagious fever which had so unhappily prevailed to a dreadful ex tent in the south of Ireland. It was impossible then not to see the extent of the melancholy ope ration of this Act ; it was not alone oppressive in its immediate amount upon the impoverished classes of society. but it was dreadful in its ulterior conse quence in augmenting that own of misery which was already too severe and insupportable, from the extensive nature of the contagious disorder which so long affected the inhabitants of the Sister King dom. He knew that it was usual to call on a Mem ber who sought the repeal of a particular tax, fur a substitute in its place ; he trusted that no such ap peal would be mole to lain lin an occasion like this, where he hail shrwts that the health of the Petitioners yrus vitally uthcted by the existing sys tem, and that in the 'oil it would be foss, al no amount of revenue could be considered as a com. ',rogation for the evils it entailed on► the people...— lie therefore tumidly hoped that, situated as these Petitioners were, the Right Hon. Gentletnim would • constdera; would postpone the committal of the Bill until the paper usoved fur WRY fortlowning. The Ciroiat.i.oa of the Exam:man could not see the necessity of delaying the Comnittire until t h e pro d u ction of the paper alluded to. This fill was for the regulation of Exchequer Whiners ; any others could lie made the subject of separate cutisideration hereafter. Mr. GRENEELT. said, that before the Speaker left the Chair he would slay 14 few words on this subject. and more particulary so in consequence of what had been said on a former night, during the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Of the absence he made no (mlll4BlO, for he was reedy to admit the Right Hon. Gentleman to hR most exemplary in his attendance i n That 'jou". Hr stated on the occasion to which he alluded, and he now repeated his statement, that the measure which the Right Hon. Gentleman had now in pm press respecting the balancer of public money in the hands of the Batik, was not that which the House and the country had a right to expect, from the repeated declarations made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of the present Ses sion, and particularly on the lit February, and on the Friday before the last week, when he (NIG Grenfell) had alluded to the subject. He would unequivocally assert, that the statement and decla. ration of the Right Honourable Gentlenhot were calculated to mislead and disappoint (he did not mein intentionally) the people. Ile would appeal to the recollection of the Right Ho. 'mumble Geistlemen awl the House, whether, on the two occasions to which he particularly el toiled, the (louse were led to expect such a mea sure as this ? Ile would ask, if the politic out of doors hind any expectation (for he must speak hypo. thetirally) ilia this was the measure which wad held out to them ? He *mild ask whether, Particularly on the two last occasions, the universal utalerstand ing was not to this effect :—That whereas the amount of public balances accumulating in the Bank is seven millions, and that it becomes advisa ble to institute a measure by which six millious.out of the seven millions shall be rendered available to the public—in other words, to give the public a saving equivalent to the interest of the six tuillions out of the seven millions accumulating in the Bank ? Ile would appeal to all who heard the Right Hon. Gentleinan, whether that was not the way an which his promised measure was uuderstood at the time he mentioned it in the House ?—(Hear.)—He could refer to a circumstance which must bring this matter distinctly within the recollection of the Right Hon. Gentleman. When he (Mr. Grenfell) stated that lie would not be satisfied until all the balances in the hands of the Bank were rendered available to the public, did not the Right Hon. Gentleman state in reply, that his intended mea. sure would not merely be confined to balances of Exchequer bills, but would embrace all the public balances--(//ear)—and that its effect would he to take out of the hands of the Batik the use of six millions out of the seven millions to which the public balances amounted, leaving the Bank the use of one million as a remuneration for their trou ble in transacting the public business ?—(Hear.) —Now let the House consider whether this Bill amounts to the promise which had certainly been made of it. Will it give the public a saving of the interest of six millions 3 for that was the whole question. He repeated it would do no such thing, and that the utmost it could possibly achieve would be a saving of the interest of 3 millions, instead of 6 millions, making a difference, therefore, as against the public, of one-half of the promised advantage. The Master of the Woods and Forests (%Ir. Husks.. son) must have understood the Rt. Hon. Gentleman's plan in precisely the same way as the House did. He had stated, that the Bank during the war held public balances, to the aggregate amount of be tween 11 and 12 million', and for the use of the interest accruing out of these balances he had al. ways contended in behalf of the public. To say that this Bill gave the public any fair average belie. fit of the balances in the Bank, was to assert a mockery. The Bill only touched one of these ba lances—they amounted in number to 56—the Right Hon. Gentleman's plan excluded 55, slid his Bill only embraced one; his Bill was therefore a contradiction of his statement, and the House and the country were misled by a promise of deriving a benefit equal to the interest of six millions, when the measure through which this improvement was to be effected could only touch three millions.— ( Hear.) The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER Said he would make very few observations in reply to the Hon. Gentleman. The very tittr of his Bill, cer tainly the Resolution he moved for in the Com mittee of the whole House, was the best answer to the Hon. Gentleman's observations. The title was for the application to the public service of a part of the growing produce of the Consolidated Fund. It professes solely to ',ler to the Exchequer bills fact, subject to the Bank debt. and the anew an the Consolidated Fund. In WO, when the Bank had the benefit of public balances, amounting on an average to eleven or twelve millions, Mr. Perce vat conceived lie had made a good bargain when he got a loan of three millions free of interest. The present arrangement by this measure was, he tl gat t, still nmre advisable with against any forther reilliciirm of their bal ances, if it should appear desirable to iwtke such reduction , protect v iew tlie to o fla t s h lk e pi nt pisbiir ink r, 't*. The hill did j h it milc went to regulate one imporvoit branch of the fondle tankers. ' Mr. TIERNEY said, that the Right Hoe. Gen neutron had not said one word in answer to the main e pr p t ia ti n f at h i i o s n li o r t i. he F Friend's stautling. when he give notice of his plan respect- It se n. fv G At e i :;l l ;m i ti u n i ' s s ie u i t ' de a r i : ing public balances early in the Session. Was not that understanding that the Right Hon. Gentle man meant to take six millions train the seven mil lions of public balances in the 11.itik, and render the intarest . of that amount available to the public ? To this plaitt . qUestiou respecting the Right lion. Gehtleurait's understanding at the lime, his Hon. Friend had ,received no answer, or rather the an swer given was no answer at A laugh.)— The balances in the hands of the Bauk were of two descriptions—one. which referred to the sums in the Consolidated Fund, anti the other to the ge• tiara' balances. The operation of the Right Hon. Gentleman's Bill was to he restricted to the Ex chequer balances, and lie said lie saw no necessity for carrying the operation further at present. He was convinced this was not the opiuion of the Right Iluti.Gentleruati at the time he first gave notice of his plait ; he was convinced that he then meant to act fairly by the country in this transaction. But after he had given his notice, and then talked about it to his friends at the Bank, he was instantly obliged to back out, as it were, of his own proposition, and reduce it one half.—(fleur.)— By his Ilan, he asserted a saving of six millions was to take place, which was to go to discharge the three millions Bank luau, and the charge on the Consolidated Fund. Then wheat the Right lion. Gentleman came down with something like sit ex plicit proposition, the six millions appcared to he reduced to three millions.—( Here she Chancellor of the Exchequer shook his head, irs taken of dis sseat./—The Right Hon. Gentleman may shake his head, but he could not shake the fact.--Illetri.)— He says he will have three millions out of the six millions which he contemplates, available fur the Bank loan; but he (Mr. Tierney) disbelieved that any such excess of three millions would be found in the plan which he contemplated. The other three motions that lie contemplates, do riot, in fact, exist ; he cannot realise them. To talk of any ar rangement which did not embrace the whole aver ages of the quarter, was to du the work by halves. When the Right lion. Gentleman was questioned respecting these identical balances, on a former occasion, lie distinctly said lie meant to refer the arrangement of them to the Bank Committee. What he (MN Tierney) meant to suggest was, that 'the Right Hon. Gentleman would, for the present, postpone the committal of this Bill, and refer the subject to his own Finance Committee, who could make a report in a week at furthest. lithe Right Hon. Gentleman and the House refused to accede to Chia postponement, std now went into the Com mittee, they would be recording their votes on an understanding, that, by the effect of tints arrange ment, they would get rid of the Bank loan of three millions, which lie knew, which the Right (lost. Gentleman himself knew, was utterly impiacticii ble, according to this plan. Would the Right Hon. Gentleman consent to refer this quest' of the balances to the consideration of his own Fitiatice Committee? If he would not, then he (Mr. Tier ney) must move as au amendment to his motion, that this Committee be deferred until Monday se'nnight. The CttsNeit.i.oo of the EXCHEQUER replied, that his Bill went to regulate the whole questiou respecting the Exchequer balances. and lie could not consent to postpone it for the object alluded to; at the same time, he felt no difficulty in admitting that the whole of the other balances might come very shortly under the consideration and regulation of the House. This would form no ground what ever for delaying the operation of the present Bill. Mr. TIERNEY said, that all he wanted was to know the effect of the principle of this Bill. If the Bill were referred to • Conitnittee, be would pledge his existence they would make no such re port as the Right lion. Gentleman had made in anticipation of its efficacy. Mr. LUSHINGTHR explained that, when the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Grethen) had alluded to this subject on a former night, he (Mr. 1..) had in formed him, that of the six milliumi whit it this plats would, he was confident, make available fur the public. 3,209,0001. or 3,300,000/. was to I N IY o ff th" that they would be subject to the usual Mr. MABEKI.Y desired to know whether iii. Bank had not received an interest at the rite IX slid. on these bills, when the public only re. craved yd, ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reVied, that whenever they had held over those bill., thsv received the interest according to the regular a l . rasigement made at the time. Mr. MARERLT said, lie understood it we. Mi• mitted that where the public only (lensed a.l 1 ,,.. lefts , of id. the flank had cool rived, Gip:, the o tore of their bargains, to get per day on lier.e. Exchequer bills, The public brought their hitls, received their interest at the rate of 1 ; the If lilt h e ld out and got 2.P.: so that the difference, iirora , l of being in favour of the public, oho poichawd with reel capital. was in favour of the Beide, whose capital was formed by the working of its paper-mill. Mr. WILLIAMS thought it now quite clear, that after the public were shut out from receiving lll terest on Exchequer bills, which hail been held over after a certain day, the Raids continued to ob. lain an exclyive amount of interest. Mr. GaztirELL again protested against the pro. vicious of this Bill. Why was its operation re. stiicted to the saving of the interest on six millions. which was expected to accrue out of the Exchequer ? The amount first accruing wee, after the arrear on the Consolidated Fund was settled, to be applied to the payment of the Batik loan. He referred to the quarterly accowits, and said it was impossible to carry this saving higher than three millions by the present Bill. He pointedly condemned the limitation of the operation of this Bill, and ;isked why it should not be made to ripply to the whole amount of the growing produce of the Commit. dated Food ? lie could see no reason why this should be the case, except that the attempt to make it so, however beneficial to the public, would trench upon the profits of the Batik.—( Hear.) Tke CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER said, that this Bill was made only by way of eviler'. ineut, and its principle may hereafter be extended to the other balancer. lit his present Ow lie kept in view the principle of the tiegociation between Mr. Percival and the Bank, id 1808. Mr. MABERLY said, that from the ambiguity of the explanations offered in the Committee, he was more than ever convinced of the necessity of referring the subject to the Finance Committee. Mr. llcsistsson said, the system now propcoed protected the interests of the public creditor as much as any that could be devised. Mr. Geetirst.i. asked, would the Right Hon. Geotleman (Ole Chancellor of the Exchequer) state, why the same principle could out 'be acted tni, with respect to 11.000,0001. which was about to be adopted with refeience to the SUM of 6,000,000/. ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, as we understood, declared that such a proceeding would be inexpedieut. Mr. GRENVELL said, he could see no reason, an experiment, limited to 6,000,000/. keying been made, why it should not be carried further, to the whole amount of 11,000,000!. The House then resumed.—Report to-morrow. BANKRUPT LAWS. Mr. J. SMITH rose, pursuant to notice, to move. fur leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Bankrupt Laws. He observed, that, in calling the attention of the House to this subject, he meant not to enter into the history of those laws. There were, he he. lieved, many Gentlemen in that House who belies. ed they were not interested in this question—be cause they imagined that the Bankrupt Laws did imt affect them. It was, however, very difficult to say, who were, or who were not, subject to them. In fact, persona who were never directly connected with trade its their lives, might, as appeared from recent decisions, he subjected to the operation ef those Acts. That a revision of the Bankrupt Laws should take place, was most important to the in terests of the commercial world, and, he would say more, to the interests of humanity. As nu discus sion wits likely to take place, on the present occa sion, he should say no more at prtsent —hut move " That leave be given to bring in a Bill to altar sett amend the laws retinue to Baukrupts."
