'Addy gone out who would inquire and ascerrein whether it would be right to permit and if he saw that it would be of advantage to establish distilleries, to fix a certain duty on spirits distilled in South Wales, which, whilst it would encourage the agriculture of the country, would check the improper consumption of spirits. Mr. BENNETT condemned, as unconetitistional, the power given to the Governors of New South Wales to tax the people: without the authority of Parliament. He said that taxation in some instances was carried to excess, and operated heavily on the oil trade. The Resolutions, the substance of which were elated by Mr. Gorillnirii, were then read, the House resumed, a n d the Report was ordered to be brought op to-merrniv. NEW SOUTH WALES TRADE ACT. Mr. GOULBURN stated, that the object of this Bill was to permit vessels under a certain tonnage to trade between the Cuited Kingdom and New South Wales. The Resolution was agreed to, the House re sumed, and the Report Adb ordered to he brought up to-morrow. CI'AYS AND MEANS. On the motion el the Cu iNce.i.r.oit of the FA carol:tn. the Report sit the Committee of Ways and Metros was brought up and read. • 0.1 the Reardotinii being read, " That a sum of 244,000/, the surplus of last year's re. yens', should be applied to the set care of the present year," Mr. Hung said, he would make a few observe. tioha as to the present state of the debt. He con tended, that since the peace the interest of the debt had not been reduced one shilling. lie stated. that the funded debt had been decreased—the unfunded debt had been increased, and a sum of 1,053,0001. due to the Bank on Exchequer bills, and which should have been paid, still remained due. It was, Ike said, remarkable that the House had been for the first time informed of this fact through the Report of the Bank Committee, before whom the fact was given in evidence. The Hon. Gentleman, after some other observations, concluded by repeating, that the interest of the debt had not in any manner decreased since the war. The Cluncxrrott of the EXCHEQUER Said, a wry slight examination of the financial state of the country would enable him to explain the points on which the Hon. Member had touched. Ilia argu ment was, that though a considerable decrease hail taken place is the funded debt, yet, taking the whole charge, of funded and unfunded debt together, there was, in point of fact, no decrease whatever. The Hon. Gentleman admitted. that the funded debt, on the sth ofJanuary last, was diminished about 98,000,000/s—of course the interest of that being 900,000/. per annum. had ceased. With re spert to the unfunded debt, the Report ,of the Finance Committee shewed an increase of capital to the amount of about 4,ooo.oooE—if being, 00 the sth of January, 1816, 41,000,000/. and on the sth of January last, 45.000,000/. But the Honourable Gentleman would recollect, that, in 1816, the whole debt bore an interest of 5 per cent. making a total of 2,soo,oooL—while the 45,000,0001. of unfunded debt which existed in January last, paid only 3 per cent. being a decreased interest of *OO,OOOI. Therefore, there was a de crease of 900,0001. interest on the 25,000,0001. of funded debt, and of 800,0001. on the 45.000,000/. unfunded, making un aggregate of 1,700,000/. The Hon. Gentleman said there was an arrear of raterest due to the Bank on Exchequer bills; but he had not stated that the only reason why that in terest was not paid, was merely because the Bank refused to exchange the principal. The constant rule was, not to consider the interest due until the principal was paid off or the bills exchanged. When either was done, the interest was immediately paid. 'lite interest certainly created au outstanding arrear, but it was already provided for by the taxes voted by Parliament. The Honourable Member stated, that a paper had been laid before the House, spew. iiig the addition made to the public debt iu the last ten years; and he complained that this ac count, which, by the terms of the Act of Parlia ment, ought to be presented to the House fourteen slays after the commencement of the Sean )))) . had lint been produced until a late period. The fact was, that the materiels of the account, which was made up to the 25th of March, could not be procured in time to have the document in readi ness to present at the period specified by the statute. It would, therefore, be necessary to alter and amend the Act, which, as it now stood, re quired that which was impossible. The HMI. Gentle. man, in referring to that account, observed that the last item was a sum of 1,600,000/. for the charge of the loan of last year, for which no provision had been made. He however begged to remind the ilon. Gentleman, that, since the account had been mode up, Parliament had provided for the whole of that sum by voting 3,000.000/. of taxes. Mr. Hume said, he understood those times to have been voted specifically in aid of the sinking fund. The CHANCELLOR of the Excimuss said, it had been repeatedly stated that the taxes wow levied went to provide for the iutereat and charge of the loan for the last and the present year—and farther to create a real, and not a nominal sinking fund to a certain -extent. The Resolutions were then agreed to—and Bills ordered to be introduced in conformity therewith. SCOTCH CHURCHES BILL On the motion of the CHA NCILLOR of the Ex. CIIEQV Lft, the Report of the Scotch Churches B►ll was taken into further consideration. After • desultory conversation between Lo►d A. Hamiltoii, the Chancellor of Exchequer, Mr. I lume Lord Dittoing, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Barham, Air. Wilson, and Mr. Primrose. chiefly on a suggestion of Mr. Maxwell, that the stipend to be granted to the clergy appointed to officiate in the ew churches should not exceed 350/. per annum, ...inch he gave notice that he would take the sense 01 the House on the third reading. the Report was 4i4reed to, sod the Bill ordered to be reed the third time to-morrow. SINKING FUND LOAN BILL. On the [minim of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. the House went into • Committee on the Atom Bill. Mr. W. SMITH expressed his spiwobation of the niensure, which, he observed, was precisely sr miler to that which he hnd prapo•eri three years oYo—viheu he expressed his opinion, that either a Bill of thi, kind .ho'?il he rettortod to, or Parris- neat would be obliged to reduce the interest or the . . lotions! debt. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHERVER said, he had always protested against reducing the Wettest of the debt, because it would he • gross violation of the public faith, which hail been pledged to the public creditor. The present Rill was, however, a perfectly fair one- r oind wins 'mired, contemplated by the Act of 1746. He viewed this measure with peculiar gratification, became it wound up and terminated the loan system. The sum which would be w anted , for the service of the next year would be exceedingly small—and the cootie quence would be, that those 'peculations which edified such changes in the money market would he removed. fit the course of the emoting year it would be only iteceveary to borrow 4 or 5,000,0001. beyond the sum taken flow the sinking fund— and even ifcgt, perhaps, would he so materially reduced as to prevent a loan from being made in the public market.—(lleur.l —lt was feared that the restricted means which would he left in the 'mods of the Commissioners foe the reduction of the notional debt, for the purchase of stock, would have a prejudicial effectin the money market. But, whe ther stock ass taken out with one hood, and re placed with the usher. or neither bike', out nor re placed, could, in his d, make but little dif keence. The price of stock, like that of every *thee article, must depend on the supple and de mand—end, when the supply was perfectly known, by doing away public loans,. the demand would become steady, and must hove a progressive and beneficial effect on the prices. With respect to the 3 per cents., in a Inch the bidding% took place, and which governed the price of the market, he wished the House to look to their moots*, when the luau system wits closed, as compared with what it was some time ago. Ou the sth of January, 181 S, when the price war above 80, the total amount of three per cent. consols existing in private hands, or held by corporations, was 372,000,0001. capital stock—and, on the sth of July. WO, when the whole amount of the present loon was paid in, it was computed that the twat mount of 3 per cent. consols would be 368,000,0001. So that the total amount of capital of that stock would be reduced in the sum of 4,000.000/. nopeiilistooding the great extent of two loans. On the sth of January, 1018, the total amount of three per cents. reduced was 135,000,000 L—in July, 18-20, it would be 133,000,000 L—being a reduction of c 2,000,000/. Thus there would be a diminution of 2.000,000/. 3 per cent. reduced, and 4,000,0001. or 3 per rent. i console, on comparing the stuck in July, 1820, with its amount ut this time—and the system of public loans would also wholly cease. They had therefore great reason to hope for a progressive im provement in the funds ; not that sort of improve ment which chewed itself by starts—but that gra dual, slow, and constant improvement, which in dicated the healthy state of the circulation.--. Suppose, next year, the same sum to be taken from the sinking fund, a larger fund would still remain for the liquidation of the debt—twenty thousand pounds per day would then be appli. cable to the purchase or stock.—(Hear, hear.) — in addition to this there was another resource of a most happy kind, and by no means an inconsider able one. by which the funds would be supported. He meant the coostaiit influx of money from the saving backs.—(!fear, hefir.)—The amount of money paid io on account of the saving banks was, on an average, 20,000!. per week—and the suits which had already accumulated in the hands of the Commissioners (which formed no part of the sinking fund, but which had the same effect as a sinking fund, since it was kept apart, and was nut sent into the market), already amounted to about 3,500,0001. —Meer.) Mr. W. SMITH said. if any person were ran• genie enough to imagine, that with such a reduced sinking fund the debt could be so far diminished as to enable this country to enter into it war speedily, that individual viewed the matter in a light dif ferent from that in which he saw it. if, however, the reduction of that fund rendered it mote diffi cult fur Great Britain to plunge into war than she WWI wont to do, its diminution was pel hapS a sub ject of congratulation. He heard, with pleasure, the statement of the Right Honourable Gentleman, relative to the success of the saving bank *Totem, because it sliewed that there was a returning spirit of morality amongst the people which ought to be cherished and encouinged, as the surest means of securing motional wealth and natiottel safety. Mr. RICARDO said, the Right lion. Gentleman, while he stated to the House the amount of 3 per cent, stock that had be-it reduced in the year. kept totally out of eight the amount of the 3.1 per cent. that had been created in the same period. which, in fairness, he ought not to have done. As to the saving hanks, lie participated in the plea sure which his Honourable Friend felt at the state uncut of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and approved very much of those institutions, which. he conceived were likely to operate beneficially for the ' poor man. by enabling im to secure soy savings lie could lay by. He did not, however, agree in the propriety of vesting the sums derived from the saving batiks, in the three per cents. because they produced an interest below what might be realised by the purchase of Exchequer bill.. and be was sure the Legislature wialied to favour the poor mall as much as possible. He regretted that the Right Honourable Gentleman, when he touched upon the sinking fund, had not made a permanent arrasigement--such an arrangement as would pot an end altogether to the delu sion which the country had so long laboured under. He believed. that, fur the last two or three year., there had been no sinking fund whatever—and it would have been better if the Right Hon. Gen tleman had conic down and avowed a fact which was known to every body. He feared, however. that the Hight Htal.Gruilealin intended, if possible, to keep up the delusion. It would be more satisfactory to the country and to the House, if they were plainly told that the sinking fund only amounted to 5,000.0001. instead of deceiving them with a nominal sicking fined which had no exiatencr. The Cu a acer.t.cia of the EXCIIVIVER said. that, or the 47,000,0001. of 31 per cents. that had been created, 7.000,0002. had already bees' provided for, leaving a capital of Y 0,000,000/. As to a general measure, wail respect to the *inking fund. he did not think they had yet arrived at the time, TH E Bit SFL PitES S. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ACNE 30, 1819. The flank of Ireland Cash Payments Bill was last night considered in a Committee of the House of Lords, and an amendment proposed by the Mar quis of LANSDOWN was adopted, whereby it is sr ranged that the Banks of England and of Ireland shall pay their notes in bars of gold at the same rates and at the same periods, sod shall eventually resume payments in coin at the some time. In all previous Acts relating to cash pay tnents by the Banks of England and of Ireland, the restriction was meant to be coutinued ou the Bank of Ireland for u period of six months after it had ceased with respect to the Bank of Eugland, on the presumption that this length of time was requisite for the former, by way of notice. It is now, however, considered that the present plan operates as a system of notices, mid that whatever advantage the Batik of Ireland may derive in point of preparation, from the additional period of six months, as allowed in former Acts, such a provi sion would, in the present instance, be atteuded with the serious inconvenience of miring gold to bear different prices at the same time in the two countries. The new Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read a second time in the House of Lords. Some com plaints were made by Noble Lords of the want of respect Which seemed to have been mani fested towards the Upper House by the other House of Parliament, in wet having transmitted so important a measure as this is for their Lordships' consideration at an earlier period of the Session.

The Prime Minister, the Marquis CASA•Iauio, received in the night of the Nth, an order from the KING, enjoining him to quit Madrid before seven o'clock in the morning, and to proceed, with ■ll his family, to a village in Old Castile, which was performed immediately. The name of his successor is not mentioned. but Don MANUEL. GONSALEZ SALMON is charged provisionally with the duties of his office. Dolt FRANCIS EGNIA,the Minister of War, is also dismissed from his .eraploy ment. avowedly on account of his ill health, but this sloes not prevent him from holding the situation of Captain-General of the Kingdom, and of the Cost of Grenada. The duties of the War Department are provisionally confided to Lieut.-General Don JOSE MARIA ALOS, who is also to perform those of the Ministry of the Marine. The dismissal e the Prime Minister of Spain. in the present instance, is marked by the same duplicity on the part of his Sovereign, as was shewn on the dismissal of his predecessor. The Marquis t!....ASA-Illttio trans acted business with FERDINAND a few tours previous to his receiving the order of banishment, and perceived nothing in the deptritinent of the KING, to excite any suspicion in his mind of having lost his Master's confidence.
