F r i en d (Hr. to the distrust which Mr. Fox had fur Nli , hot that great Statesman had carved his e!i.tron farther than Ins Hon. Friend seemed prepar ed to Ann,. The real question at 'present was 011.--• ,114 it expedient that, it; the ',resent crisis, there should be a sinking fund provided to the amount of five ? There were two ways of unosidering the principle of this sinking fund— 'me way was, that it should be made to provide a surplus above the ex peilditure, to be ready to meet the emergencies of any future war. In lent way be was its warmest admirer. The other nay was, that of twovirling this food fur the extiuc tion of tl..e national debt. In looking ut its oper a:lion in the last cease, he must revert to the con duct of a former Minister—he alluded to Sir R. Wul i nile, who was, lee thought, the greatest truth°. r•ty upon any question of finsitce. He was the man who raved the country at the bankruptcy of the South Sea Company. who raised the credit of the country, and established a rate of interest at three per coot. instead of the previous rate of eight per cent. Walpole was a steady and cons'inent Minister—his followers could rely upon his firm. nets—they never found hies gainroyiog his plans or his projects ; he established a sinking fund which mired the country seven millions—at the period of 1763, the saving amounted to teu millions addi tions', and Mr. Pitt's sinking fund reduced the debt eleven millions (though it augmented the debt at the opposite side), making a total redo& lion of the debt to the amount of twenty•tight roil. lions in the space of a century. What proportion slid this bear to the present enormous debt of right hundred millions, and see what the rate of reduc tion of this amount would be, assuming that a peace of 45 years was now likely to be had fur the country. Ile could not think, in this state of things, and with so much distress surrounding them, that, for the purpose of reducing this debt in manner proposed, they should be called upon to lay by a sinking fond of five millions. He had also the strongest objection to the proposed taxes : that on beer .mild materially affect the tower classes. The Noble Lord then commented iu d tail noon the nature of the financial Resolutions and contended that the proposed tans were of most injurious nature. Not content with taxing the beer of the poor, their very tea vas to have 14 vice augmented. This rotio of taxation war, h 4 person...l, to be carried on until that proud pea santry, 's once their country's pride," were at length driven to live on bread and water.—( Hear.) Mr. litcsaoo could not agree with the lion. Cletilleinati (Mr. Lamp) that it was desirable to fol io, the precedent of 1794, at the conclusion of the American war, and to re-estrhhsh what he called • oinking fund. Now it appeared to him (Mr. Rio , 'wilt)) that that was the very period to which the eiteniiis of this sicking fond would direct their at. tentioti in support of their arguments. What was hereon. of that 'nuking fund ? The answer was, it bad reduced millions of debt—of what debt ? not of I lie old standing one, bnt of a debt fresh contracted. So that so long as the Minister had this food to go to, lie was always ready to incur fresh debt. The same fate woul d . again await a similar fund. If it were intended as a fund to provide for a new war, then there war no pressing necessity fur laying by the money now; it would then be touch better to let it remain in the pockets of the people. He had o iealou• distrust of leaving such a fund, not in the i•Jnitl- of the present Nlinisters particularly, but in the hoods of any Ministers.—(Nice.) 'hen he tie had ,his opinion of time sinking fund, it was use. Irss for him to take into his consideration the na ture of the taxes which were to be applied to it. we' however said that the malt tax must, in the end, be paid out of the poor's rates : it was clear then that it could not fall upon labour. as bad been by some asserted.

This was not consistent with the fact, for, on the contrary. lie almost invariably op. posed the hew taxes. unfortunately for his country in most instances without success. At the end of the American war, this state of the country was worse than it was at present—so far from there being then a surplus, there was no actual deficit in the revenue, as compared with the expenditure.

The Muse then divided, when the numbers were— , For the Marquis of Tavistoeles Amendment AO Against it. Majority against it.... 111 0.1 our re-admission to the gallery we found the House in the Committee. In the Committee, when the clause was read im posing a ditty of 94. 61. a quarter on malt, to be levied en the stock in hand, Mr. BRAND rose to oppose the last part of the etiuse. The trade was at present labouring under so severe a pressure, that they would he entirely unable to meet the demands of Government, if they should Lee obliged to pay the duty on the stock in hand. It would be the heavier on them, as the barley had been laid in at a very high price. The Right Hon. Gentleman's estimate of the pro duce of the tax. independently of the stock in hand, was 1,400,0001. ; and if they should exact it on that also, it would amount to 2,000,0001. If there ever was a time in the history of this country, when circumstances called fur every mitigation in the burdens imposed otiose every order that that House could afford, the present was the time. The Right Hon. Gentleman had *heady expressed his willingness to give the maltsters time for the first payment ; and he therefore hoped he should defer it beyond October till a later period in the yeur.— A great anxiety also vprevailed among the persons most interested, and he wished the Right 1101). Gentleman would declare, whether he enema 10 abide by the rule formerly laid down by himself when he remitted the duty in 1816. The Hon. .Gentleman then moved that the part of the clause relating to the stock on hand should lie omitted. Mr. C. CALVERT spoke (45 we understood) in support of the motion. Mr. H. Davis said, that the great distress which pressed on the mobsters at the present moment claimed every indulgence the House could afford. Mr. C. C•toviae said, he knew one individual who had not less than ten thousand quarters of malt nn hands. and many others who had large quanti ties, aatl he apprehended it was not possible for them to give in an account of their stock with exactness. Mr. BEa W. said, that, considering the com paratively low price of barley at pre.ent, extendim; the duty to the stock on hand, was a cruel and unjust measure, particularly as it affected the smaller monsters, who would be quite unable to pill duty of gs. 6J. a quarter on their stock on band. The Cu ASICELI,Oa of the Exeurneett said, that the greater part of the stock purchased at a high price last winter had been consumed ,and that that On bawl had been purchased at prices grrrJrtalit ap proaching the present. 11. sides, the mode of taking the quantity of stock wus highly favourable to the miltster, for it was taken on the barley, but it was well known that the measure of a given quantity of barley, after undergoing like process of being con verted into malt, was irides - Keel; on the whole, be was r.f opinion, that miles, a case of much greater hard ship ahonhl be made out, the House would not lie justified on the part of the public, in aliamlimiog the duty on the stock in baud. With respect to the payment of the duty, lie was dislrwr d to afford the maltster every sccomniodation consign:id with public convenience. lie would give the maltirter, at present, the benefit of the precedent set by the Treasury in 1816. a n d in calculating the duty, make an allowance of 5 per cent. on pale malt. and t 3 per cent, on brown malt. He Unroofed also that they should have Ole a dvantage of paying the duty by inatulments; the first to he demandable the 10th of November, at ad. a bushel; the second in .111113Ory, the third in February, arid the last in April. Mr. C.CALVENT said, that having been engaged in the trade fur thirty years, he could state, on his honour, that there rarely existed that difference, in the proportion, between barley and pale malt, de scribed 'ley the Right Hon. Gentleman. though taking a given quantity there might be an increase of malt in the present year. front particular circum stances. The duty on the stock in hand would, according is his calculation. be 900 0001. which, udded to 1,400,0001. would make 6000,0001. be tween July twig and Joly late. Mr. Dust 'smog said that the stock on hands at present was less than 191 1 6. and that the produce of the duty on it would nut be so much as was es. booted. Mr. Ltretri.row said that he believed the duty would fill on the maltstwrs. The question then was. whether as great • duty should be laid on a small cities of poems ? He not. But adnaitting it would fill on the he thought it unwise to *pia* 'evert a tax ouo only reangoiog luxury { .. tiae lower orates, which was hut sile 11.0 e re moved. from an article of mucosity.' It was also well worthy the eoistitreriainie of the House whether they would agree to a 'measure driving the lower ranks from the ewer Malt liquor to that of spirits. If a tax an prope r ty 'had not at present beers pro posed, it was owing to the selfish majority ors th e 'other side of the House, end not to that on his side. if a comPerismr were thin snide between a Malt Tax and a Pioperty Tax, lee had no hesitation in Saying lie sh o uld vote in preference for a Property Tax properly modified, which would fell on the rich its the first inotance. • L• After a few words from Mr. lltcsitoo and Mr. 13*mm " • • Mr. 1120111211 AM argued, that theimpo.ition of the duty' on the stork in hand, like the privi leging@ odiosistte of the Itortions, wipi a *eerie retrospective liw. keying a• very large sow of money off a bin ted number of powers, the tisaltstero.

If it were not then sold, and Oita addition were ant mode to Ilse missal, it would come into the ton ken in competition with the new malt, which would he subject to the tax, and thus uts unfair advantage wool,' Le given to those who had much of it. Wits it loot just. there fore, to place the owner of the 0111 Nod of the new stock on a level ? I t his view of the subject, this tax would slot roll on one body of iirtherilit4l, snore *hits another. but would be &Gird equally over the community. Mr. S. WoRTLEY was perfectly convinced. that, if the House imposed this new tax on the stock in hand, it would be quite impossible for the niallster to raise the price of the 'uncle in such a ratio on his customer, us to enable him to cover his ex penses, much leas to obtain profit. He should th e refore vote against the clause. Lord ALTIIOIIP said a few words against the measure. Lord CAsxt.sateacti (observed, the brewers had had an opportunity of decrekrsing the price of beer some lime since, in consequence of the decreased value of malt, but they had not afforded tint be rofit to the public winch they tnight have done, because they were in expectation of some measure of this kind. They had, therefore, no reason to complain if an additional duty were now imposed. The snaltster would, by the fall of the article in the market, about which ao mach had been vaid, have sustained as great a loss as any that might be supposed, to arise from the additional impost, without any benefit front it ben% derived by the public. Mr. Goocei expressed his hostility to the clause. Mr. Wit.sux supported the clause. In his view of the question. the tax would root bear so heavily on the ntaltster as Gentlemen seemed to suppose. 'Mr. J. P. GRANT thought it was a monstrous proposition. to say, that the person having a large Klock on hand, ought not to complain, b-cause, if this tax were not laid on,. lie would sutler to an equal amount front some other cause. It would surely be more proper, under such circumstances, to endeavour to alleviate the maltster's situation, in- stead of embarrassing him farther by a new tax. Mr. LITTLETON hoped. looking to the si►uation of the country, and considering that thin tux wits proposed, not so much in aid of the styptics of the year, as to assist time sinking fund, that the House would lean to the Itlwral side of the question. and act as favourably at possible towards the mobster. The CitAticet.i.uit of the Escsequtm again supported the clause, taking precisely the same line of argument that had previously been adopted by - - - Mr. ( - 1 uskisson. Alderman WSITItat kW said. he DIM Rrhrefir to this tax allorother, soul ought have opposed it, eves if he had vutill fur the 3,000,1000 f.; lint, in 111/ opinion, many of the arguments urged ',elitist it, were oat trunlile.

The p • t for consideration was this—if the molester could shear that it would lie out of his power, should this tax be bid on, to cover his expenses, he would then he entitled to the merciful rricarti of the Muse—but, if this could not he *hewn, then, hi conceived, that many of the arguments which had Iwo adduced aEaiasl the tax, went for nothing. Mr. RICARDO said a fen words, illustrative of his former opinion. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON said, the encouragement of the breweries of Ireland was of the utmost im portance. Many efforts had been made to make the use of malt liquor general is thist country; and he called nn the Hight Ilun.

There were many poor persons, females particular'', who received • trilling pittance from the poseerates, perhaps es. 64. or fie. per week, whose principal comfort, say, whose subsist /wee was a little tea. If the Right Hon. Gentleman would apper his feelings to exert themselves, be would find, that even a tax of4l. per cent. was not such a trifle as he appear ed to think it.
