WINDOW TAX OF IRELAND. The Marquis of Dowesurett moved. that there he laid swots the table a Copy of a Circular Letter from the Treasury of Ireland to the Clergymen of the several parishes of Ireland, respecting a com mutation ..f the Wits(low Tax. This being ordered, the Noble Marquis then rose arid said—‘• My Lord., I rise fur the purpose of presenting to your notice two Petitions from (related, relating to the sufferings of the people from the pressure of taxation, and complaining of one more thas, u s u a lly obnoxious—l mean the Tax upon Windows. 0 of these Petitions comes from the several parishes of Ordain. in their respective Vestries u.seionled, th e other is from the inhabitants of Belfast—but be fore I move to have these Petitions read, I beg leave, with your Lordships' permission, to ad dress a few words on the claims of the people of Ireland to' be relieved from the severe pres sure of the Winslow Tax. Before the Le gislative Union or the sister kisigdmnt. this tax had been imposed by the Irish Parliament on the proposition of Mr. Lorry, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. It war understood at that time to have hero imposed ally for a limited !Period, and was especially denominated by Mr. Corry, as " A Ivor Pr"isillar" which was to cositinue either for three years, or until the restoration of peece. It has been since continued. as your Lordships are aware, by the Imperial Parliament front year to year. Duritig the last year a circular letter was transmit fed fro•is the Treasury to the several Clergymen of Irelsoil—that which your Lordships have just or dered to be laid on your table—proposing a halms of the Window Tax. To this commutation violists* objectiolis have been urged, but the g ))))) tits - which f shall priticipolly oppose is, that it tends to give a legislative power to vestries. The tax, however, li.ving been proposed fur the war only, ought its justice to be repealed on the room of peace; or if circumstances might render that im possible. ought at least to he reduced. Thi, latter imam rests uu the more tenable foundation. Mits. much as the original tax hail been not unfre quesitly increased. since its first iinposition, even at one time by Mr. Foster, to the mimosa 0 1,50 per cent. On this, however, f shall chiefly rest, that as the tax Isuil been a war tux, the people on the re sturetion of peace have a right to some relief. I now MOW that these Petitions be read." The Petitiosis bring read, were laid on the table. BATH GAS LIGHT.

Sir GEORGE IVARRENDEII moved the Horne should resolve itself into a Committee of Slimily. the Committee he stkted, that alts gli it was necessary to preface his Resolutmotir by a kw ohaervations. yet. from the nature of the evidence before the,hfouse already, upon the subject of this night's business, lie was coutident what he should have to say would be confined within a very nar row space. The Committee was snare, that the public establishments connected with the Navy hail- been of late years einisiderably• enlarged ; the - Esiimates for the last ten years had also been digested and Lid' before the House, in ta printed form, consisting of several separate and distinct items, whit+ rendered them the' more easily understood ; for the last two years they bud, moreover; been submitted to the Com mittee sitting upon Public Expenditure, which had, through its Reports. from 'time to time, givemi to the House and the public a much more detailed view, and far more correct information; than he could possibly expect to give the House io the shape Of a prefatory speech. For the items of iii formation, therefore, he referred the (louse to those printed papers, already in their hands. During the late war, every one might have observed that the naval establishments haul increased considerably iu their expense, owing to drawing all that busi ness of constructing vessels of war into the King's own dock-yards, which formerly used to be dune for the greater part in the yards of 'private mer chants ; the ultimate conseipsenee of which was, that a great saving and ecoutnny in this department was effected—the immediate cusiseipience was, that the yew!s constructed were of a vastly iinpmved descript . . Ac. Jeraldr portion of the expense of these dock-yards would ressiairs IA permanent charge on the (votary. Another large branch of the public expenditure in the 'freesia year, con sisted in the expense aitteialitig the erection of va rious public winks its the naval yards; these would he found to have been stated ut length in the Report alluded to, accompanied by u detailed statement by that eminent engineer Mr. Rennie; sale rein had been stated the probable loss the public might sustain if these works were left at this 1ie11.4111 in an unfinished state, and also the ud vantage likely to result from their bring com pleted as NMI ae 110toilble, whilst the price of la bour was so much lower tie sum during a state of war. The additioas and improvements made in the duck-yards at Sheerstesv mid Chatham woold, lie believed, do away with time alleged nrces-ity of constructing naval arsenals of a more extrusive and costly nature in other parts of the river, at an ex pense of Site or six millions; and more particularly this expense haul been moat probably prevented by the improvements made at Sheerness. Ile was in. voluntarily drawn into a ►ubject olsoine importance to the armee, that it ►hould be cominented upon. It had been said in that Howe, when the subject of his Majesty's 1111141 forces had been discussed, that it appeared to he the intention of Gayer ttttt cut to raise the land at the expense of the sea forces, and thus to abandon fur the army that which %night be well termed the long-tried and natural hulwavks of Old England.
