Lord SUFFIELD stated, that he had received a petition of a nature, from the Magistrates of the county of Norfolk, and feelin as he did the propriety of the prayer of it, he would sup. port t he petition of the Noble Lord. After a few words from Earl GIIOSI'ENOR. in support of the petition, in which the Noble lord entreated the House to make some amendments, during the present Session, in the thane Laws, The petition was laid on the table. SILK TRADE. The Earl of WESTOIORLA ND presented • petition from 7.000 inluhitants of the parish of St. .Mathew, Bethnal r.r en, proe ms; that the Bill now before their Lordships, for the repeal of the reitrlctioms on the silk trade, may not pass into a law. The petition ►rued, that it would tend to incrrise pauyeirm to an alarming ex tent ; and utoler all the circumstances of the case, he requested the Noble Earl opposite (Loudentole) to postpone the consideration of the measure until linable Session, when the new laws relative to this trade would have been in operation. The Earl of LAUDERD.ILE _observed, that the Noble Eari was wrong in supposing that the of the new laws on this sub ject rookd be known next year, as the Act would not tyke tercet until Ind& He should be much obliged to the Noble Earl (West • morland) to look over the names of his petitioners, and sec if a great proportion of them had not signed the petition that had been presented by the Noble and Learned Earl en the IVoolssek a few days since. 1:e did not like to mention names, lest he should bring individua Is into danger; but to stew their Lordships how little :hese petitions were to be depended upon, he would mention an instance of a poor man who had rtfu ed to sign the petition that had been presented by the Noble and Learned Earl, and on the day after his n.fusal, his name, and those of his wife and children were attached to it, in a neat clerk's hand ; and so zealous had been the party who bad written these names, that they had given the man two children more than he had ever possessed, in order to swell the number of the petitioners. How many bad signed in this wry he did not know ; but he should be sorry if that 61 . any House of Parliament should be instruments to such a conspiracy. The Earl of WEST3IOR LA ND said, that whether this was or was not the ease, the people's minds were alarmed, arid he did think it impolitic to agitate them unnecessarily at this time. The petition was then laid on the table. On the Order of the Hay being read for their Lordships going into a Commit tee on the Silk Trade Bill, The Earl of HARROtVItY observed, that after the decision their Lordships had conic to in the lest Session of Parliament with respect to the restrictions on the silk trade, be rout I not avoid ex pressing his surprise at the Noble Earl introduemg his present Bit'. To the yowl so he had put on a f enter ocauion to the Noble Lord, why he should wish to persuade their bolds:tips to come to a different opinion now to that whisk they tame to last year, he bad received en satisfactory answer. Foe himself, he could see no Tea son for prematurely apes:log Acts under which the town had en. joyed a long course of tranquillity, a d the trace hey regulated had' flourished. Under hse consluerations he so !hi move, that the ! word , t now" be left out, and that their Lordships go into a Com. rnittee on the BUI that day six months. The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not expect the opposition that had been made to this measure by Node L 'ids oppotate ; and the argument of the Noble Earl as to the eau iunlity of the town and the flourishing state of the mitotic ure fan jet these restrictive statutes, if it were good at all, wt u'd poly to other manufactures. Why should not Manchester, for in lance, be placed under the saute emulations with regard to its manufacture, as the diuritt of aphid:kids •es with refereneeto its trade. The fact was, the error of the system was glaring, and it could be supported by Noble Lords only because it was an error of long standing. The Earl of WESTSIORLA ND thought it too much to risk the peace of tto metropolis with these theoretical speculations, wan the trade to which they referral was flourishing. He sin eerely wished that the Noble Earl opposite would mix a little hu /Lanny with his philosophy, and not drive those poor people to de spair by the premature introduction of a measure that they think would be ruinous o h sns Their Lordships then divided on Lord Ilarrowby's amendment, when there appeared Contents 17 Not Contents . - 23 Majority for the house going into the Committee —6 On our re-entering the House, we found their Lordships in a Committee on the Bill which was reported, ordered to be engrossed. red fixed for a third reading on Friday next.

The attention of Government was repeatedly Colonel TRENCH rose to explain certain points which had assistance, applied to the repeal of direct taxes, and of taxes arising been adverted to on a former evening, relative to certain statements Sir J. NEWPORT then moved that the document be laid on from consumption, as they alfected our general trade. If' these which he had made respecting Ireland. The lion. Member took the table. taxes could be repealed to their full extent, he would not deny we. an opportunity of eulogising the cosduet of Mr. Strickland, REPEAL OF THE LEATHER TAX. ought to go to that extent. Ile was not prepared to say the leather to the Duke of and ' 1 Devonshire, P."' . • • .. ... f ax ass not objectionable. All taxes were so. He would not deny this tax was objectionable, on many grounds. He was not pre pared todefend the principle on which it rested. Ile had not a greater objection to the tax itself than he had to the restrictions at tending it; but were these restrictions confined to this particular trade ? Were not taxes imposed on other articles. bearing a much higher proportion to the intrinsic valve of the article ? Ile would take upon him to state, that in the consideration and in the political view of our !Mannal regulations, there were questions deserving of a much earlier attention than a tax upon leather.— He would remind the House of what occurred in the case of the English distilleries; we were then told, that whatever sold might be derived from the measure, would be more than met by corres ponding evils in other respects; we were told of what he knew actually took place upon the bonlers of England a:.d Scotland. With respect to the article of spirits, he admitted the duty was high, when compared with the value of the article. If be had 3.10,0110/. to spare he would rather deal with this article than with the measure before the House. He would rent the duty upon to bacco; this amounted to four shillings the pound; the anginal price was three-pecce. The duty was in the proportion of I,fieti per cent.; therefore this article 4 all o th ers. held out the greatest inducements to smuggling. If he had 3.50,11001. to remit in the way of taxation, he could not see how it could be better applied than in the reduction of taxation upon this article. He would peter its application to this object to a reduction upon leather. , He would appeal to the Hon. Member for Waterford for an ac. knowledgment of the measures rendered necessary to be taken in that country . by the illicit introducti o n o f to b acco . Thi s was, in his opinion, a monstrous evil, and requiring more serious consideration than any restrictions imposed upon the manufae. lcure of leather. He would next refer to a tax, for the repeal of which the Gentlemen opposite were so particularly anxious —he meant the tax upon coals. It should be shewn that the , repeal of the leather tax wou ld b e more beneficial than that 'upon these articles. In his opinion, it we, a matter of doubt how the balance inclined. With regard to the tax, the repeal of which was sought for, he did not defend it; he did not maintain it was a good tax ; such an anertion es this would be preposterous and ab. surd. lle affirmed, in the largest sense, that the tax ought to be repealed ; it ought not to be continued but for the necessity of the measure ; besides, he did not approve of this reduction as proposed by the lion, .Member; it would be tying up the hands of Perlin. ntent, and be the means of preventing them from looking at the reduction of other taxes, and calculating upon the best means of procuring that reduction. Gendemen seemed at once displeased and surprised that he should think of applying restrictions to Ire land similar to those existing in &gland. Ile was sorry to be ob liged to impose restrictions any where, but if they were necessary at all, it was in Ireland, fur there was no place where they were so shamelessly evaded ; and front the nature of these evasions, the tanner was in the habit of manufacturing a bad article. In conse. quence of such conduct, the character of Irish leather was mai. heed, and it was necessary to alter it. Here it was worthy of re. mark, that in part of Ireland where these restrictions were not, either now or at any other time, even there the production of the tax upon leather was diminished, and its quality deteriorated : this was owing to the necessity imposed upon the tanner of working rapidly, if the duties were collected in another manner. He therefore felt it an object of peculiar regret to be under the necessity of applying these restnetions to Ireland ; but with. out dike application, the taxes would not be paid. It would be impolitic and imprudent for the House to pledge itselV to the keeping up or the repeal of these restrictions. The tanners and corners did not wish to have them given up—they wished to have them retained. The question between him and the Hon. 31eniber was abort ; he objected to the tax—he admitted its disadvantage; but there were other taxes, he was sorry to be obliged to admit, were more liable to objection; and if he had 350,0001. available, he would prefer the repeal of other taxes. lie would not pledge himself, if he had such a sum to share, to the repeal of the p resent enactment. Upon these grounds he thoughti it his duty to oppose the motion. Lord Al. flloltP said, the laying on of the restrictions in Ire. I land, fur the sake of thirty or forty thousand pounds, was just cause of complaint. If thi argument used by the Hight Hon. Gentleman was advanced upon the silk question, that measure would not be carried. The operation of the present system was to injure the manufacture itself. Ile would support the proposition of his Hon. Friend. lie would wish rather the Bill was put off till next Session ; this would enable the parties concerned to change trades ; if they were so incliued, the tanner may become a currier, and the currier a tanner. Generally speaking, taxes should he taken drat once ; but this was an exception to the rule, and in his opinion longer notice should be given that the tax was to be taken He would not trouble the House farther. I Sir J. NEIATORT conceived this tax ought to be repealed, were it only for the enormity that it wrung neon money from the pockets of the poor than it placed in the Treasury. The restric tions imposed in Ireland were not attended with the desired effect. It was strange that the duties, amounting to 51,0001. at the time of the Union, had diminished, notwithstanding the increase of the The SPEsari having called on Mr. Caleraft, Ger. GASCO E suggested to his Honourable Friend, whe ther it would not be better to postpone the motion of which he had given notice fix a short period. Mr. C.II.CRAFT said, that he could not attend to the sugges. tan of the Gallant General, u he felt it to be his proper noun to persevere in his euction, the object of which was, the entire re moval of the duties on leather, and to effect it in such a manner as to leave no ground of complaint on the part of those who had a stork on hand, and consequently to leave no necessity fur draw. backs, as he should apply for l e ave to b r i ng i n a Bill for the repeal of the duties from and alter the 6th July, len He had taken up this case because it had appeared to him to be the very worst in the whole list of taxation. It was defective in principle, and injurious in its application ,• it was an inexpedient one, as it brought very little into the Exchequer, but took a great deal out of the pockets of tile people ; its produce to the Treasury was no more than 34.10,"1 but the public were charged with three times that amount. The inefficacy of this tax was shewn, a hen the Government thought, by doubling it, to add considerably to the revenue, but they were soon compelled to remit the half of the tax, as th e y f ou nd that, Instead' of increasing, it had considerably diminished, and this, too, on a commodity without which we could not stir a step either on foot or on horseback, and yet the Government was obliged to give up this increase of taxation. He could not conceive on what ground it could be defendeti, considering the liberal views which the Right flonounele Gentleman opposite had held of late, and which the, House had been so long enacceustomed to hear from gentlemen in his situation. The impolicy of this tax would be es idea front there. straints which its operations placed on every one concerned in the I leather trade, and by which means six millions of pounds of lea. ttter were annually cut to waste, and which neither the tanner nor the currier could afford to pay for, and consequently the public were obliged to do it. The public paid annually a sum of troo,Not. in order that the Government might receive 31 1 0,0061. ; and he thought that this vase state of things which ought not to last, unless we were to take our notions of trade from the enlight. ,cued acs of Richard the Second or James the First. What. ever may be the result of his motion as to the repeal of the lax in t us coun.ry, he trusted the tax would not be continued in Ireland In that country its produce was not more than thirty or forty thainand pounds, and whatever might be.the mqeive of the Chancenlor of the Exchequer tor persevering here, heYould hate ma jusdaeation whatever for keeping it up there. In Ireland the dotty was collected. not by the pound, but by the cubic measure of I the pit. This mode operated as an inducement to the tanner to tan in as small pile as possible; mud thus, for the sake of colleedrag a small revs cue, a premium was held out for a bad manufacture of an article which wan principally used by the poor. In the Excise dils mode also operated to a most absurd extent. Whatever the result may be, he thought it most edvisable to repeal the tax in the sister kingdom. Whatever consequence may be attached to the re venue collected in this country, there could be none attached to the thirty or forty thousand pou nd s collected in Ireland ; and trifling as this sum was, it was of importance in Ireland, front the smallness of capital. lie trusted, therefore, it would be a kind of peace offering, not to place the leather trade of Ireland in the same happy situation as here. He was aware that upon this occasion he would be with out the support of those who assented to the principle and expedien. ey of the measure. Several of those persons asked him in the streets, why he looked tbr the repeal of the leather tax • and they added. thrt leather was not made cheaper by the l as t reduction of the tax en the ankle. The feet was, the price of leather rose since that period. As to this advance, he was ready to admit that a spirt in the trade had wised the increase of the price ofleather ; but - he was et rtain that if the tax was taken off A fall upon the price of leather would quickly follow. There was another circum s t ance w hi c h accounted lot the high price: when the former reduction took place as to tax, the restrictions, which were of a more cooly nature were left on. If the same arguments were used with regard to other taxes, what would be the consequence ? With respect to silk, for exam! le, relief was given to that trade, and yet has it fallen ? Not at all ; there was rather an increase in the raw material. The object of this measure would be to effect a reduction upon the tax, for the advantage of the consumer—of the importer of the material—of the trade. The improvement of this trade would be beneficial to the country at large; it would add to the general prosperity • it was by die success of each of theme trades, of the brewer and the farmer, the country was kept in a state of prosperity. It was impossible for the various branches of the community to hare boots, shoes, ice.; it was impossible for the farmer to have his harness c h eap, when the restrictions to which he alluded were kept on. For the purpose of illustrating his argu ment upon the impoliry of the present plan, he would quote for the Right Hon. Gentleman that with which he was of course well acquainted--the evidence given upon a Committee in the yew , 11116 ; It was the testimony of a most respectable man engaged in the tanning trade, a Mr. De Foe. When he was asked his opt. nion respecting the duty, the disadvantages arising front it, and the extent to which they reached, he said, in consequence of the sys tem, the tanner and the consumer were equa ll y sufferers, and TI eorishire, - and spoke in commendation of several gentlemen in similar situations. He concluded by commending the utility of an institution formed in Ireland, for the improve ment of the female matiatitry, under the patronage and superin tendence of Lady Lorton. After a few words from Mr. V. FITZGERALD, in opposition, as we understood, to the Bill, Mr. DAIVSON withdrew his motion, from an understanding that the subject would be taken up by the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, to whose immediate attention he recommended it. It was one of extreme utgency, and the greatest importance to Ireland. It was true that several banks in Ireland had failed, but that was no argument against the utility of provincial banks, although it might be against the principle on which they were founded. He would desire the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Fitzgerald) to look to Scot. land, where similar banks were establiehed, but where, from the rod principles on which they were founded. failures did not occur. He was persuaded of the utility of the measure. but would rot press it, front the intimation made by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to take up the subject (Hear). The motion was then withdrawn. CHURCH OF IRELAND. Mr. H('M E rose to propose for certain returns relative to the Church of Ireland, *hie!, he was induced to submit, from a variance of statements which had been made respecting them. The first return for which he should move was, of the number of resident and non-resident clergymen of the Established Church. By a re turn which he held in his hand, it appeared that in one year tile number of resident clergymen was returned to be seven hundred and fifty-eight, and the number of non-resident five hundred and thirty- Otte. In Armagh the number of non-resident amounted to ninety. 'one ; in Dublin, ninety-four ; and in Cashel, one hundred and fifiv-two. This was a very different representation from that which had been lately made to the House on the same subject ; it was with a view merely of ascertaining the accuracy of the facts, that he moved fete the present niums. Mr. GOULBURN had no objection to the motion of the lion. Member. lie thought, however, the object of it would be better comprehended by a motion of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Al. thorp). The Honourable Member calculated the number of ah. sentee clergymen from a consideration of those who were legally non-resident nn certain livings which they enjoyed, but who per. formed spiritual duties in other livings, of which they were incumbent... 4r. HU3IE next moved for an abstract of the number of offices, according to the Irish diocesan returns, distinguishing between those bestowed by the patronage of the Archbi s h o p. an d Bi s h ops, from those which were beetowed by the patronage of the Crown; of lay impropriators, and those which were impropriate without churches or incumbents. The Honourable Member stated the number of livings in the diocese of Dublin alon e , t o b e 144, of which the Archbishop had the disposal. Mr. (R)ULBURN had no objection to these returns either. Ile would remark, however, that the number of livings in thediticese of Dublin did not exceed US, and he was at loss to know by what new species of arithmetic it could be made out that 144 of them were in the possession of the Archbishop. (Laughter.) The motion was then agreed to. Mr. LEA KE brought up a report relative toe Bill for the better examination of witnesses in the Courts of Law and Equity. Mr. GOULBURN laid before the House a return of the num ber of incumbents of the diocese of Waterford and Lismore. SAVINGS' BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on the bringing up of the report on the Savings' Bank bill, suggested that the blanks be tilled up, and the discussion on the amendments it con. tained he reserved for a future day. At present he would simply move that it be printed and presented to the House in regular form. —The Right Hon. Gentleman. in reply to a few observations from Sir M. W. Ridley and Sir E. Knstchbull, observed that the clauses of the Bill should not have a retrospective effect, and that those who may have subscribed large sums should not be affected by any alterations which the House may think proper to make in the future enactments of the Bill.—The report was then brought up, and the third reading ordered for Monday next. SCOTCH S. The CHANCELLOR of the STIPEND EXCHEQUER, on the bringing up of the rei-ort on the .tipcods to the Scottish clergy, stated, that in 1810, from the insufficiency of the parochial contributions to maintain them, it had been resolved to allow incumbents Ill)?. a year fur the maintenance of their family, and as suitable means of discharging their clerical duties. This allowance was made accord ing to the valuation of corn at the period at which the allowance was made. However, in latter years, as the price of corn decreased the income received by the clergymen was not adequate to that which the legi.lature proposed and intended. The fault of the Bill wits, that in the event of the diminished price of grain, it con tained no power to adopt a renewed valuation, by which the income of the clergyman migh t b e raised to the standsrd determined on by Parliament. lie (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would there fore propose, that instead of the valuation as proposed by the last Bill, an average valuation, according to the of grain _for the the expense a tanning was much increased. The quantity of PePulation in a meet incredible manner, and the conversion of the aonntry from pasture to tillage t this circumstance increased the leather in the kingdom was forty-eight m illi ons o f roun d s .

I t b a d b een sa id t h at tanners h ad a ' went into tile Exchequer. These were the statements be had to make upon the subject. He thought he showed the Parliament monopoly, • and when the taxes were taken of the trade, ' the time was come for the reduction of the duties: he hoped he they went into their pockets; and in roofer this, it was said, that, when the reduction took pl ace t h e p r i ce o f leather roost.

This sum, tinder the new regulation, would go towards the payment of the `2,e00/. which he propelled should' be added to the allowance already node by Parliament, that the addition would not be altogether a positive charge. SEAMAN'S APPRENTICE BILL. Mr. MONCK opposed the H orse going into a Cornmitee on the Bill. It would hare, h. co mended, the effect of altering many useful parts of the law of settlement, and would create no oquiva. lent Milroy:mem in the law, as it already stood, upon that subject. Sir M. W. RIDLEY complained of the late period of the sets. shin under which so important a question had been brought under , listission, as the alteration in the law of seamen's apprentices. He thate.tht that all the maritime districts would peculiarly feel injurious ell'ects fr..o the enactments of this Bill, which was calm laird to r. !meat,: rather than remedy the evils created by the law as it now stood.

Mr. AIONCK said he could not withdraw his amendment; and lie hoped the lion. ''ember tOr Sussex would withdraw his Bill. Mr. C. Pl.:1.11,131 made a few observations, which were in. audible in the gallery. The motion was then negatived without a division. The farther consideration of the Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill was deferred to Friday next. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Assessed Taxes Bill. Mr. H 1731 E wished that some cheek should be put to the accu mulation of balances in the hands of treasurers. As a proof that it was necessary lie would state, that in one district alone, the district of Kensington, there was a balance of 23,000 L in the treasurer's hands. Mr. BERRIES made a few observations in reply. 31r. 111 . 31 E said, that although it was late in the Session, that was a reason for not letting snottier year go by. The collectors violated the law in evety single instance of collection. Ample proof of this was to be found in the papers that lay on the table.

The ; I ..111,rente;ac has an ar.:ele from t►;less , of the 231 of April, repr.'senting th: influence of Lord Strangford St Constantinople to be retluelsl to no:hing, front what it calls " well-known causes," ail:olio:: of course to the ' Greek loan, and the aid given to the Christians by the lamented Lord Byron, and other distinguish, a from this country. Demands (this account states) to been made by the Turkish Ministry on Lord Stransrerd. couched in the most insulting language, fur explanation the conduct of the British Governor of the lonian Wes, and the English residing there. On the loth of April. it adds, our Ambassador provetalA to pr: sent his memorial on the es - at:natl.:it of the pr.n:ipalitj,s, but from the temper of the Reis Effmili, it was eb:ig.tl to be deferred. The most sim.,mlar reports rertoeting b.rd Strangford (this article states) were in circulation: so much, it a its, is ea tain, that the Noble Lord had been pc:Truptorily called upon by the Porte to declare himself explicitly with re spect to the conduct of his (;over: molt. Every statement of this sort, coming from any part of ltussa, must be re ccived with great suspicion; that anal:kiwis power has long 1 1 been jealous of our d, cisive influence at the Porte: at the same time we can well itnagire that Lord Strangford has been greatly embarrassed in his negotiating with the Ministers of the barbarous court where he resides, by the feelings aroused by the aid individually afforded to the Greeks. But any rupture by the Ottoman with this country, under existing circumstances, would decide the
