easily combated. At the time Lis Rt. Hun. Friend (Sir J. Newport) introduced the Bill alluded to. those taxes were only annually, awl only a tttttt elly collected. If he had not interposed and made the alteration which be then effected, the consequence would ter, that the tax must have beet' soinuelly renewed. His Right Hun. Friend wished to put the Irish taxes on the same footing with the taxes of thit„cauntry—namely. that they should be voted permanently. not annually. The consequence was, that. instead of having an annual application to Parliament for the renewal of the Window 'Pax. it remained a permanent tax. liable, however. to the ririgiiiat condition annexed to its enactment, that of being repealed as loom as the war ceased. Was it stated, at that time. that an alteration was to he made by converting a war tax into a pence tax ? Jo, the alteratiop was from an Kitimat tax into a permanent tax. In 'argning this question, the Right flon.'Gentlemisti (Mr. Vansittart) ought to return), not es if he were taking off a tea, but as if lie were laying a tax on—end, if lie could prove that it was • proper tax to he imposed on Ireland, he would withhold his opposition. The Right Hon. Gentleman ' in arguing that Ireland ought not to be relieved from this tax, stoical that the owed a very considerable debt—that tier income was little more than sufficient to meet her animal charges—and that provision was made in this country to pay the interest of her . rkbt. Did the Right Honourable Gentlemen meals to say, that behind ought to meet this deficit.? Was she to raise 4400.000% to liquidate her debt ? Did there twist, in that country. the tomes of Meeting such a demand ? Ireland had been engaged in a snarl career sauce 1800. She nominally contri buted to the exigencies of the empire, when `she was, itt fact, in a state of bankruptcy. It was lint Ireland merely that was the victim of this delu siou—this country had also Bern the victim of it. The bubble had burst—the truth) was dis covered—she load berm going on at a rate (utterly iliscalcolated at the time of the Union) which it moi quite impossible for her to support. It was not K dodo of Ireland, who could not liquidate it—but a debt of England, who was able to pay it. They were not now striking a debtor and creditor account --it wa4 nut now lair !liens to say, that Ireland must make good a certain balance. The fund. of both countries were one common food to be applied to the rxigenciet of the empire— mid, it the Right limo. Gentleman could 'hew that Ir.-laud could hear more than she did at pre vent, lie would agree in the proposition that she ought to bear it. If the Right Hun. Gentleman would point out any feasible and practicable mode by which her contribution could be raised, he would comcur in it. The people of Ireland would not complain. They were nut a causelessly comp, lining people. They had bled as freely in lbw lioaucial tiiits, to support the exigencies of the country, as they had in their physical veins, to forward the glory and greatness of the empire. He belated, in his conscience, their complaints were wrung from the miseries and dist tt . of their coun try. The y felt that they were unable to pay the amount of this odious tax, without suffering en ac ce.sion of grievance—awl, therefore. they complain ed. If the Right Hon. Gent. were now, for the first lime, calling too the House far this tax. how could lie monport it ? It was • tool on civilization—it was a tax on the improvement of the country—it was a tax calculated to keep Ireland in a state of poverty crud aretchrdness ! Every house built in that coun try was a fresh pledge of a desire to draw closer the a animism with England—every thing that made the people of Ireland feel that they had scant. thin e ; to protect, was worthy of encouragement—it tended to remove any remnant of barbarity, and to raise the people in the scale of civilized life. It placed the people above that situation in which mere subsistence was looked for, end taught them To estimate social blessing' and social comforts.— space to the country, this tax operated bane -but with respect to the city of Dublin it was ino.t unjust. Upwards of one-fourth of the whole tax was levied on the city of Dublin. Wu that a fait system of taxation, to take, from a peril collar district, one-fourth of an impost ?—(Hear.)— No part of the empire had suffered so grievously by that measure (the justice and propriety of which he was set going to canvas), that was thought neces. many for the consolidation of the State, us the city of Dublin. Before time Union, it had within its wall a resident Parliament and a resident Nobility. one hundred Noble families at that time lived within the city of Dublin, who were no longer to be found there. They were transferred to another country, where they laid out their money in the eiicouragetnent of arts and manufactures.—/Hear.) The Learned Gentleman then drew an affecting picture of the meagre and squalid misery which was observable in every part of Dublin—and ino ceeded to argue.as an additional reason for abandon. ing this tax, that it became kw and kit productive every year. For 1817, the &loamy was Ear 1818 Fur the last year 77,910 Part of the diminution in the last year might per haps be attributed to the reduction of the tax, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had sow boned ; but the Right lion. Gentleman would per. ceire a regular course of diminution—and, he pre dieted, that he would dud the tax daily decreasing and becoming more unproductive. Ihe Learned Gentleman then adverted to the number of notices discontinurnce given in the last three years. _ _ They amounted to - 32,324-ond of this number 3,301 were given in the City of Dublin alone. These were notices of discontinuance for distinct houses—each of which tenements (for the tax here operated strongly against the lower order.) was per haps i n h a bited bye or to wretched families. if this were the fact, not less than 30,000 unhappy beings, in the course of 3 years, were compelled by the ope ration of the measure, to deprive themselves of the light and air of heaven.—(Hear.)—The Right Hon. Gentleman said, it was incumbent on those who opposed the tax to propose some substitute. he made that observation the Right Hon. Gentleman forgot his duty. He fell fir the situ'. tine in which the Right Hon. Gentleman was placed —he felt the difficulties which presented themselves in raising money—he felt fur him, when, last night, lie was obliged to plead f o r a tax which, he believed, the Right Ho nourable Gentlemen condemned in Ins heart.— When he could nut spare the virtue of his own eouutry, perbsps he (Mr. Plunkett) could not ex pect hint to spare the poverty of its. He was driven to an extremity in both cases. But, when he called on Gentlemen to propose taxes. in lieu of those that were repealed. he must forget his duty as Chancellor of the Exchequer. When he was obliged to manufacture crime, in order to support taxation—and when he scrupled not to break public faith, that he might continue an oppressive tax—when he had no expedients hut such as these. lie ought to resign his situation, that it might be tilled by a person more competeut to discharge its duties.—( Hear, hear.) Sir G. HILL explained. Mr. GRANT (Secretary for Ireland) declared that he felt deeply interested in the welfare of Ireland MI, if he thought it was not at variance with his public duty, he would vote for the present motion. The Learned Gentleman, he conceived, had un justly charged his Right Honourable Friend with committing a breach of public faith, on eccount of the present state of the finance of the country. Such an assertion must have escaped him its the warmth of the isomelit—for his Right Honourable Friend set out with stating that lie would argue the question on the ground of public faith—and that, if the measure militated iii the slightest degree against that principle, he would at 'once abandon it. If they were bound by a pledge on this subject, then there was no necessity for discissimi. But he bad heard what was stated on this head, last year—he had since looked more closely into the matter—and he could nut discover any proof of the existence of a pledge, in 1800, that this' was to be a temporary tax. The Right Hon. Gentleman then comnieutert on the different statutes. relative to this tax, from 1800 to 1807, and contended that it was clear, from their provision*, that no limitation of time was contemplated, from the period when the measure was first adopted. He denied that the tax bore on the lower classes, shift 'it did not touch any house with less than seven windows and four hearths. It seam said that it produced fever and pestilence—but that assertion was overturned by the plain fact, that the 'Chancellor of the Exchequer had made, with respect to lodging-houses, a reduction of about 90 per coo.; nor could he undervalue the privi lege of allowing time opening of fresh is indosse, when a .proper certificate was given, by a Medical lie. sipector, of the necessity of such a measure. This w.is unit a time to abandon every tax that was pointed out as obnoxious. It should be recollected that there was a difs'erenceof 13,000,0001. between their expen diture and their revenue; but this circumstance seem ed to he left entirely out of the question. When it ass said, that a debt of 4.500,0001. had been in flicted on Ireland by the war, the answer was. that. if the liittury of the two countries had been reps. rated—if Ireland had not meted her part nobly, as she had done, in the cause of freedom and inde pendence—she might have escaped that burden; but she had behaved gloriously in the struggle, and she must be content to bear the painful condole/is of her greatness and of her duty.—(lleac.) Sir JomiN NLwroar argued, that the accumu lated debt with which Irclood was burdened, was not attributable to any unwillingneFs on her part to contribute fairly to the exigencies of the empire— but arose entirely from the inability of the people to pay. It was clear that this was the case-- for the efforts of several succeeding Finance Ministers (several of whom were men of as great ability as any in that House) failed in realising the schemes they had projected. Between the years 1808 and 1817, the improved taxes proposed to that House from Ireland, by different Ministers, were rated to produce an addition of 3,500,0001. a year. But what was the fact ? An increase of 50,000/. was the re sult. But suppose an increase of 500,0001.—still the taxes were over-rated in the sum of 3,000,00 W. This clearly arose from inability to pay. The truth was, the great body of the population were not, as in this country, capable of supporting taxation. The Right Hon. Gentleman then pointed out the pernicious consequences, to the health of the people. which flowed from this tax ; and anima& verted with great severity on the language iu which the order, permitting the opening of new window,. on the production of a certificate from a medical inspector, was couched. Lord Carrutazaitu opposed the motion. He could not conceive, that Gelltielliell from !retarget had a right to call fur a rentissiou of this tax, *lsm, •t the conclusion of hos tilities, war taxes to the amount of 4,500,0001. were continu ed in this country. It was pushing the plea of distress d ud poverty to too great an extreme, when Gentlemen declared that the people of Ireland, who were never visited with the income tax, could nut support a window tax. The people of Scotland bad borne the former, end they now paid the latter to • greater extent than was demanded iii In laud. Mr. WILIBLIVORCIS said, he had attended his duty this night, from • sense that Ireland bad hems Fondly treated. There was a long arrear to be made up to th•it part of the empire, to teach her that she was regarded by England as a sister country.—(Hear.)—Rut, notwithstanding, after list ening attentively to all that had Bern advanced to favour of the motion, be felt it his duty to oppose it. Mr. Hutctitssom assured the Howse that the general ins panstioa in Ireland was, that a pledge had been given lye Mr. Clam the Chancellor of the Exclieqiier at the tissue of the illboduetiJn of the tax, that it should cease on the termins. Rea 114 the war. He insisted that since that diabolical Ines. airs of tlie Venal, carried by the Noble l.ord (Castlereagh), Ireland was deteriorated every hour; mud if, as the Noble UPI bad slated, the envies was put to great expense by hatpin up an army in Ireland, the necessity of it was treated by the disaffectiou arising from that very event. 'flier.. was bat owe feeling in Ireland with regard to the mischievous Mid fatal operation of the tax. 11 was univi malty detested, OM the people of Ireland would gladly accept (runt the almicellur of the Exchequer say substitute shish could `devised, if they must be subject to an imposition to the rarest. He thought that 'reined had not received a pro portionste share of relief from taxation since she mediation of that war ' • fur while England was relieved from seveutcen sailboat and a half, she had only 400,0001. taken off. itir. Mum* said he felt himself, though with great re balance ratted upon to oppose the minium. Mr. dRATTAW supported the motion. The continuance of Hie tax, he thought, led to • competition between the two coautries, which should he avoided as much as possible sow that a marriage had taken placie.—(ollargh.)—The pro duce of the lox was only 223 until. and it premed most heavily on the domestic comforts of the people. The Right Um Gentleman then read extracts from returns made (sum Deblin, diewing the vast properties of houses untenanted, or Insolvent, in the different 1166140 n in that coy—a state 'neat which, be said, was a better argoveent for the repeal of the tax than any he could use—(Hass'.) Sir N. COLTMN? spoke in favour of the motion. Mr. COLCLOSIGII said, that • still greater scourge than the •typiiits fever resulted from the operation of the Window Tax. He meant the scrofula, a malady which extended its is. to generation to come. Ile could appeal with comfi t,' the opinions and writings of medical men in sup. of the position, drat that dreadful disease wan in con. cc of enmity and impurity of air. Mr. MatiWATI opposed the inutian Mr CALLAGHAN supported the usuliuu at eon►blciablc length. Mr. Fagots conceived the poblic (milli was pledged to the people of Ireland fur the repeal of the tax. Ile asked himself the ; l ocation, if the Irish Parliament were now in existence would the tax be continued! He believed not. Fill4ltrifti difficulty was the cense alleged for krepisor It oup, but no difficulty could jnstify a breach of faith. C us ri,s in all the cumplinienis paid by an Mon. Gentleman over the way to Ireland, he was fur doing something more substantial, and delivering her from the pressure of this severe tax.--(flear.) The cries of Question then becoming very loud, the gallery was cleared fur a division. 'The numbers were-- For the motion Against it Majority 77 PATENTS IN IRELAND. Sir junta NVWPORT wished to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite (Mr. Vansittart), whether any steps had been takes+ to deliver the country from the expense of many theusauds of pounds to which he understood it was put an. finally in cousequeoce of patents some time sitter granted that country? He meant to allude to the patents gaited by Government to Alderman Kiug for supplying the public offices with statiuun y, on terms, as he was informed, so extrava gant as to cost the country several thousaiiila of poem& above what the same might be obtained for if the market were open. He could nut forbear observing, that to make abatements it the expenses 'Wearied by the public was a much better method of spearing our revenue and our ex penditure, than by keepiug up odious and oppressive taxis. the CIIANCELLOR of the EICKEQUTIIIL said, that the aut.- ject had excited the must anxious consideration of Altitudes's, and that means had been taken to reduce the charges. Ste J. NEWPORT only wished to know, whether competi tion were encouraged. No late► than Ibis day he had been spoken to on the subject by a potions°, who had told him that if the furnishing the articles supplied by Alderman Kitty, were disposed of to the best bidder, several thositatids of pounds would be saved the country every year. Brit it was obviously useless to attempt to excite competition, wi les. the bidder had a fair chance of procoriug the con tract. No man would bial pnrely through public spirit. He further said, that if his Majesty's Ministers had the power to grant patents for the sole supply of r aaaaa modifies required for the public service, such a proceeding would differ rather in extent than principle from the motioooly which had been declared not to he law m the time of (aorta Elizabeth. The Cniterevmos of the EiciteeltlTS said, that if the Right Hoot. Baronet bad had the candour to inquire at the Treasury, he would have found that a most effi rind check bail been given to all attempts at overcharge against the Fur, by the last order made on the subject. it pro- Oiled that the charges in Ireland fur stationery should be re gulated by those in Eugland.
