T►e petition was then read, and to the motion of the Noble Lord was ordered to be referred to a ecrnmittee on the State of Ireland. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from the Protestant Diatoms?! the Borough . ot Wareham, in favour of the Catholic Claims. His Lordshiptibinved, that the Right Rev. Prelate, who ' bad presented it petition on a former night, from the Congregation of the Jewry.street Chapel, had very properly stated, that each Congregicion of Independents formed an independent church, and be lloord Holland) could nut say whether this petition spoke Alit sentiments of the whole body. All he could say was, that the petition was most n6merously anti moat respectably signed, and the parties were most anxious not to be considered as entertaining any feelings hostile to then' Catholic Brethren, or as participating in the sentiments of thore persons who had petitioned against them. In hie opttioo, the Independents were the last body that ought to corne4bniaid and oppose the claims of any denomination of Christians who were seeking :',e restoration of their civil tights.—The petition was laid on the table. The Marquis of CAMDEN presented a petition against the Claims or the Catholics, from the inhabitants of Sandhurst and Newingten, in the County of Kent. The Noble Marquis said that his own opinion differed altogether from that of the petitioners, sad 'only regretted that he hai not before given his support to a melons of the necessity of which he was now most fully convinced. -k1 on the table.

The parties were all respectable, and many of them ware landholders and proprienrs.—Laid on toe table. Lord ARDEN tvesented similar petitions from the parishes of St: Giles'. Wellingborough and Weston level!, in the County of Northampton.—Laid on the table. THREATENING LETTERS BILL. The Threatening Letters Bill was read a third time and passed.

CALVERT and the SPEAKER, the Bill was withdrawn, owing to informality. HANTS AND BERKSHIRE CANAL. Mr. H. DAVIS moved the secuLd reading of the Hants and Berkshire Canal sill, and Mr. Alderman BRIDGES moved as an amendment, that it be raw a second time that day sit months.

WILSON took the opportunity of stating, that it was intention to oppose the principle of the MI for disfranchising tit 40a. freeholders of Irelerd. However, ha understood it w.. 1 nut tie intention of the Hon. Member for Stafford (Mr. Littleton) to prvs his determination with mired to the Bill this evening, and he R. Wilson) should reserve his opposition accordingly for the b•cord reading. Mr. LITTLETON would merely lay the Bill before the Ilut in the corse of the evening, in order that it might be vried.

Gentleman (Ilr. Littßson) declined entering on the discus.. s.un at thst stage. He wished ea early a day as possible to be sed for the discusalon, and was of opinion that next Friday was nut soon enoug h for that purpose. Mr. CA LC AFT would be no party to any arrangement on that Ball. If ever there was a Bill requiring explanation to the country it was that. He had exyeeted the discussion would have come on t• is evening, and understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer to postponed the public business of the day for the purpose. :lie lion. 31trobur was here call.d to order, on the ground that tht•re v. as no question Wore the House.

SOT M. W. ia►ll,t:Y though. t grtat dot of in:olWe sod 'Cu- I ' venience would attend making out the Returns. The mention of one circumstance would prove that: a worthy Alderman moved for a Return of the quantity of coals exported within a certain period from Newcastle, distinguishing the names of the proprietors, and the quality and quantity of the coals, and other ;Articulars connected with the subject. The Returns were ordered ; it employed three clerks for five weeks to make them out; and, in the progress of their work they had to examine no less than 33,000 tickets. Mr. WODIr:HOUSE said a few words as to the manner of making out Returns. The Honourable Gentleman said that when the question of the Com Laws came before the House, it would be treated as one of the utmost importance. He would give no opinion as to the propriety of agitating it at the present moment. ft was forced on them, and they ought to come to a dispassionate consideration of it. Mr. MA RERLY said, it would save an immensity of trouble if any Honourable Member, who intended moving for Returns, ap plied in the first instance to the Gentleman at the Treasury, whose duty it was to superintend their making out ; that Gentleman was always ready to give every requisite information. If Members but did so, the most convenient way would be pointed out to them. Much expense would be raved by it, and the information thus ob tained, &tier consultation, was likely to be much more satisfactory. The CfI.INCELIA)R of the EXCHEQUER thought the suggestion.well worthy of the attention of the House; it would save much trouble at the public oilier, and considerable expense to the public. For his own part, when Members showed him small papers, on which their intended motions were written, and in many instances scribbled on, he did not object to them, nor was he fond of doing so. Indeed he might have let saute pass, which, perhaps, it was his duty to have opposed. Mr. HUME wished to rescue himself from the imputation of moving for Returns without having previously informed himself on the subject. lie was ready to bear testimony to the intelligence of the public officer alluded to, and his willingnen abed all the facility in his power to those seeking information from him. The Hon. Member mentioned some instances, particularly with regard to Returns connected with tobacco, in which, had that course ti pursued, much inaccuracy might have been avoided. The Gentleman e included with declaring, that a great disposition displayed on the part of his Majesty's Ministers to afford every convenience to Members wishing for information. Mr. M. URE, in consequence of what be had beard, withdrew his latter motion. The Reams that moved for were ordered. COMBINATION LAWS. - Mr. HU)IE pre - ;;;OTedWps from lb; Seamen of Scar borough, complairing that their conduct and motives had born misrepresented. They further complained, that there has for many years existed a union amongst their employers ; that for twenty years, up to the last 8 months, their wages never exceeded from 23L to 331. a year; that ultimately they were obliged to form a union, principally for benevolent porno," ; that they had a Committee, formed for the purpose of considering the Combination Laws, and hoped to be heard on the subject. The petition was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Combination Laws. _ _ _ _ _ \ CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE rose to present a petition against the Catholic Claims. He hoped the arguments contained in It would still have weight and authority. although the Catholic Relief Bill had unfortunately been carried through a second reading last night by a majority of 27. He regretted the absence of the Secretary for foreign Affairs, the more particularly as it was occasioned by illness. No man could entertain higher respect than he did for the great eloquence and abilities of that distinguished individual ; still he felt himself called on to state his views on one part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech on last evening. (" No, no.") lie must persevere ; he could not suffer the sentiments of the petitioners to be misrepresented without appealing to the wisdom of the House. He could rot listen to their being attacked without taking the first opportunity of wiping off the wain so unjustly cast on them. The Right Hon.Gentlemin in question, in the course of last night's debate, made some remarks 1111 to the ignorance of the petitioners a,nsinot Catholic Claims; was it to be endured triat people could not come before the House without suffering unjust imputations, particularly when so respectable and enlightened as he was deter_ wined to stow they were? (" No, no.") Since the wish of thellouse was opposed to his going on, be would reserve his observations for some thiure opportunity. The present petitions caine from a re spectable portion of his constituents; it was signed by the clergy men of the parish, and he (Sir T. Lethbridge) was determined it should not be treated as one to which the finger of scorn wax to be affixed. (A laugh.) With respect to the Bill before the House, he was determined to oppose it in every stage, and he implored the House to pause ere by passing it they drove the country to utter ruination. (A laugh.) Mr. N. CALVERT said, the allusion made last evening was not to the general ignorance of the petitioners, but to the absence of a particular information—to their reverence for the feelings for old data t they might be styled ignorant pro Mato. Lord BINNING thought it irregular to allude to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman in his absence. The Hen. Baronet misapprehended the Ri.tht Hon. Gentleman, and hue consequently misrepresented him. The ignorance alluded to was in ignorance of the existing laws affecting the Catholics, rod it apparel from the petitions that they were not only ignorant of theism' as they now stood, but even of the nature of the Relief Bill. Sir H. *ILSON—If I said that the Hon. Baronet was in igno. rance of the Right Hon. Osothertin's 'ova, !andel troth sup. posed to mean any thing ofrcnsive; thaefovo it was poem-, ble to have ignorance attributed without otrence rnea P u e t r . fe ( ear.) Mr. H. MAXWELL complained of his being reprosooted io du public pints as chiming Moliondhsessa on ftiolellef of Oa: • theist Emmictmetivd. ne speech was that of 'he Hon. blemberi for Dow trick (Mr. W. Mas r; tra anolig sod not his—b. an Mt looked oft tiho constitution of ads comolir i eTse r t eg : aa p t, and would over oppose the odtaissiost Cathol Ms , in* ' - Mr. .W. MAXWEI4. said, h 1 of the Bill, Imeause lob they* the sea breOceitilderatfmt ht aCu mutter 54/644116Z4 .-- Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, he could not refrain from giving vent to those feelings of irritation occas.oned by the imputation last night cast on the petitions coming from the clergy. (" No, no," from Mr. Brougham.) lie understood it so. An imputation was certainly thrown out against those who honestly came forward to express theirorinions. . . . ... . . Sir J. NFAVPORT thought great inconvenience must result if Members were to allude to the debate of a former evening; such a course ought to be always discountenanced ; indeed he could not help saying that the Honourable Baronet ought to have waited until the Right lion. Gentleman was in his place. ( Hear, hear.) He. better than any other person, would be able to e►plain. The SPEAKER said it was most certainly out of order to allude to the debate of a former evening. It was inconvenient that he should he compelled to interrupt any Honourable Member. The question tested with the House, and whenever any Member saw his lioe of proceeding was unaceeptuble to the Ilouse, his own good taste should teach him not to pursue it. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, that during the Right Honour able Gentleman's (.Mr. Canning's) speech last evening. he was sitting in a remote part of the House ; it was therefore possible he might have mistaken its tenor. . . The petition, which was from Fresford, vas then ordered to be printed. Mr. C.% IiCRAFT presented a petition from certain Protestant Dissenters. residing in and near Wareham, in favour of the Catholic Claims. The petitionisra expressed their deep regret that any of their brethren should have taken a difLrent conrse. The petitioners say they feel too strongly the advantage* of civil and religious li bertv, which they look on as the birth-right of every man, to with. laid it from their fellow-subjects. They declare also that they are too much impressed with the spirit of that Sacred Being, wha says that " we should do unto others as we wish that they should do unto wt." (Hear, hear.) The Don. Al ember said the petition was signed by the clergyman, as enlightened ro as any in the ministry, and by 30 as respectable individuals as there were in the community to which they belonged.—Ordered to be minted. SPRING-GUNS. Mr. BARING presented a petition from certain warren farmers of the countiea of Norfolk and Suffolk, In favour of the Bill fur the abolition of sprit g-guns. After a few words from Mr. GURNEY, the petition was ordered to he printed. Mr. BENETT (Wiltshire) presented a petition from certain school masters and mistresses of the county of Wiltshire, praying for relief from the oreration of the Window Tax. Mr. BROC611:1 was anxious to su p port the prayer of the petition. Indeed he knew ntsny instances in which schools were about to be founded. but their foundation was considerably int. peeled by their non-exemption from the window tax. There were no houses —:o, not even manufactories—that required more windows than schools, as welt for the sake of light as of cleanliness and I health. It ass also material that school-rooms. even for the pur pose+ of accommodation, should have no dark parts. The Hon. and Learned Gen:lea:an thought the tax in question one on edu. cation. CHANCELLOR of tt.t EXCHEQUER did not mean to pledge himself to any particular course on the present subject. About a fortnight ago he received a memorial on the subject: thinking the que-ition one of importance, he immediately cont. munisated with the Tax Office. to ascertain to what extent he could go. lie thought there was considerable force in the appeal made to him. After a few words from Sir E. KNATCHEtILL, Mr. nENETT, and Mr. C. WI Lau w, the petition was ord:red to be !mimed. EXCISE LAWS. Colonel DA VlEti presented a prtitioo from a person named Fletcher, compleinimr of " v:irions and complicated horrors" endured by him from the c•durremert of the Excise Laws. The p!iltion prayed for redr..ss. 111 an act of" common right and justice."--Ori;rreil to be primed. RUTTER TRADE OF IRELAND. Sir IL PARNELL presented a petition front Door AO, in favour Cl alteration in the Rutter Laws. Mr. 111:TCH1SSON thoullit the question one of 011 Import ance. Ireland was agitated much about it. He certainly would not oppose iuvestigation, but thou& nothing hal:y should be done. Mr. GRATTA N thought the butter trade second only to the linen trade. Orr.st delicacy slinuld be used in treating the subject. Mr. S. RUE was of the same opinion. Str J. NEW PORT thought the inquiry would be niisebievous if the regulation did not immediately full is. it. The market price of butter would be affected by the account of the evidence given before a Committee, and by that means injure private intere.ti. It was now the 22d of April, a period, in his opinion. mucb too late to commence such an examination, and he therefore hoped it would be postpone, till the ensuing Se ssion. Sir Li. I'ARNELL urged the immediate appointment of a THE BRITISH PRESS. Committee. His Constituents represented themselves to him as suffering great grievances horn the present Butter Act, A letter he held in his hand described the butter marker as a person almost constantly open to bribery, or subject to drunkenness. In another letter a person was directed to give five guineas to a butter taster's wife, and desired not to buy any kind of butter but seconds, be cause he intended to alter the brands for exportation. Such thing~ as these called loudly for Parliamentary inquiry and when lie considered that th e great exam i nat i on i n t o the affairs of Ireland had been commenced an late as May last year, he could not agree with the Ri g ht H on . Member for Waterford that the 22d of April WWI too late for the commencement of this investigation. Mr. C. GRANT said the opposing parties had repeatedly ap. plied to the Board of Trade, and he believed they had made out sonic abuses, but he thought the Government could not adopt any measure without examination in a Colllll3ltlte. They were, how ever, perfectly ready to grant one, if it wax desired. The petition was then ordered to be printed. IRISH BANKS. - - - - - - Mr. S. RICE presented a petition front Limerick in favour of the Bill for regulating Banks.—Laid upon the table. CORN LAWS. Mr. MA NSFIELD presented a petition from Leicester in fa vour of the alteration in the Corn Laws.—Lard on the table. Mr. C. (MAST moved for a Copy of the Coro Returns, from the 21st April , 1C24, to 21st April, lOU—Ordered. COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. MANSFIELD presented a petition from the Operative Shipwrights on the River Thames, against any alteration of the Combination Laws. Mr. T. WILSON presented a similar petition from the Ship Caulkers of London. pISSENTERS' MARRIAGE ACT. Mr. T. WILSON presented a petition from ..he London Clergy, comprising Sirn College, against the Dissenters' Mt.r riage Att.—These petitions were laid on the table. FREEHOLDERS' BILL, -..._ .. _ .. Mr. LITTLETON, in moving for leave to bring in this Bill, said, his intention was that the discussion of its n.erits, and the di vision, if any should be thought necessary, might take place on the second reading. It was of no consequence to him, whether the merits of the Bill were entered into on the first or second reading, but Isavin en given to understand that many Gentlemen who Oro etuselves unfavourably of the Bill were absent, m an t no detailed explanation would take place on its [mode ,' he would merely state now, and he was happy that the Eton, amber ler Wareham had, by his question on a previous occasion, even him an opportunity to do so, that it was not his In tention totUeddle with any franchise of the same nature as the ans. freeholds of England, but that his measure solely applied to those votes which were subject to registration. The amount at which the qualification should be fixed was of course for the consideration and decision of the House; but as it might be expected that he would state what his opinions were upon the subject, he wauld mention 10/. as the sum he thought it most expedient to adopt. Another point was, the time at which the present holding should terminate, whether at the end of the term of registration, or of the lease. He thought the end of the registration would be the time which would prove most beneficial to the country. !loping that, after what he had stated, Gentlemen would abstain from entering into any dis cussion without being in possession of the regulatiors of the Bill, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Elective Franchise in Ireland. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that if any Gentleman thought the second reeding too late a stage for opposing the Bill, they might elbow the Bill - to be brought in now and fix the discussion for the fitst reading. Mr. BANKES (of Corfe Castle) thought this was such an alarming motion, and so pregnant with destructive consequences, that he would take the very first opportunity to oppose it, and he hoped that it would not be read a first time without taking the sense of the House upon its merits. He would waive stating more at present than that he thought the measure full of objectionable regulations. and aneonstitutior al and arbitrary in its tendency. Mr. GP.ATTAN entered his protest against being supposed to give his consent to the principle of this alarming motion. Mr. Sec. PEEL, acquiescing in the horderaction of this Bill, begged to sae understood as not making any concession to the prin. ciples which it involved. Some years ago the practice had been touch mere strict than at present with regard to the debates upon the admission of Bills or Notices; but now it was very common to permit Bills to pass over until the second reading, and Fa the dis cussion for that stage. He begged, however, in acquiescing to the introduction of the Bill, to be ureters sod distinctly as reserving his opinion upon the subject of its merits, and nut to be supposed as committing himself either to oppose or support it. A great many Members here rose together, but Mr. BROUGHA II first caught the Spcs.ker'a attention. He too protested against being considered as pledged to any particular course, by assenting to the introduction of the Bill. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that if ever there was a Bill which reel tired the most minute investigation, it was the one now about to be introduced to the House. If many within the House tinder. stood its objects, there were many without the House who did net understand them at all, and he confessed he was himself in that situation. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, they were going to take away from the poor Irish CathoLc something . touch more valuable than any boom or advantage they could con fer by what they called the Ca • diorite Relief Bill. He. for his part, did not know how they were to be relieved, for that House was about to deprive the poor pea santry of tile only means they patoessed to olesin kind treatment frottetbelekodlwds ; and when he looked at this measure as part 1 of the Ca Relief Bill, he must say, that emancipation under Idelt was anything but a favour. An Hon. Friend of his (the *other for Armagh), whom he did nt..t row soe in his i;triems thought, placed in a very awkward predicament the of this Bill at present. That Honourable seated, that lie would not vote for the Catholic ikpas accompanied by two mensures, of which is was one. *ow, if this Bill was brought in now, it might be on very probably thrown out in one of its stages, and the consequence would be, that they would have the same Hon. Member voting sgainst the third reading of the Catholic Bill, although he had voted tor the second reading. Mr. CA ',CRAFT rose to order. Ile thought it very unparlia mentary tsar the Hon. Baronet to allude to and argue upon words spoken in a farmer debate ; and more par,lculArly, when the Hon. Member who had used those expressions was Absent from the House. Sir 'l'. LETIIBRIDGE denied that he was out of order by ar. going on the opinions of an absent Member against a motion now before the House. Mr. W. W. WYNN thought the Hon. Member for Ware ham was perfectly right. He never rememb -red an instance of an lion. Member persisting in such a Course, and in the absence of the .M ember who used the expressions. Mr. Secretary PEEL explained. He thought It irregular to allude to a declaration of a particular fact. in 'he absence of the Member. who cannot explain, but not irregular to argue upon opinions. The SPEAKER said, that thus called upon to explain, he must say that the matter did not depend upon the absence of the speaker, because the House presumed that every Member was in hie place. There was no doubt, however, that it was irregular to refer to words spekeu in another debate, whether the Member was present or absent. With respect to the subject-matter, great latitude was allowed in all cases. He thought there could be nothing worse than that the Speaker should be kept strictly on the watch, to detect all disorders which might occur in the course of a debate. These orders, which enable him to check proceed ingx which he might think disorderly, were no doubt very con. ventent ; but he always took the hint from the House, when they were of opinion lie should carry them into execution. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE explained. Dr. Pll ILLI MORE spoke in favour of the proposed Bill. end said his Hon. Fr:end, Mr. Littleton, was disposed to give all the information in his power. S:r .1. NEWPORT was of opinion that the poor freeholders of Ireland would give kiln as much credit for kindness of intention, as the Hon. Baronet, with all his new-born zeal, would be able to obtain frau them. He thought there was scone masquerade of ma nagement in the Hon. BareaLt's thus corning forward to defend the poor freeholders' interests. and that he hoped by opposing one mea sure to defeat the other. If the freeholders could obtain such a con. dition as would prevent them from being degraded almost into cattle driven by a master, he thought it aould be a great iniprovenient of their situation, and a lasting benefit to the country. (dear.) Mr. WODEHODSE supported the Mill. After a few words from Mr I'EEL, Mr. LITTLETON begged the House either to allow him to present the Bill, which he had now ready, or to give notice of a day for that purpose. Mr. BA KES again hoped an early day would be appointed for the discussion. Mr. C. 11. HUTCHINSON said, he hsd never supported the Catholic Bill on any condition whatever, or upon any Promise of security contained In any oilier Bill to accompany it. fhe extent of the proposed measure would reach so far as to effect not only the forty-shilling freeholders, but even registered free holds of ten, twenty, and even fifty pounds. He did not suppose that such was the intention of the authors of this Bill ; but such, he apprehended, would be the effect of it. As to the forty-shilling freeholders, he had in his own instance experienced as much sup port, u much honourable and independent support too, from them, as could be evinced by any class of men in society. Although he was unwilling to accede a sweeping disqualifying clause for the dis franchisemem of anv of his countrymen, he would be glad to see the right of voting limited to those who would make an indepen dent exercise of it. Mr. S. RICE was unwilling to prolong the present discussion, but he was desirous of information on two points. as to the effect of the operation of the proposed Bill. First, whether it was intended that it should be confined to counties where the evil which it was proposed to remedy mostly prevailed ; and secondly, whether this Bill was to be made conditional on . the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. If it were made dependent on the carrying of that important meastue, he would be ready to give it every sup port in his power. The complain s which sere made by some persons in this House against the measure did not merit much at tention. When it was considered ti ut although the plan had been contemplated for more than one year, yet there was not a single complaint made against it by those who were to be affected by it. The Honourable Member for Corte Castle (Mr. Banke,) had op. reed it, on • the ground of its infringemeut on popular rights. fhls was not language which he was quite prep :ref to expect front that Honourable Menit • Another honourable heatleman, the lionottrable,Baronet who represented the county of Somerset, ob jected to the Bill, from his great affection and attach-vent to the rights of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Ile would only further remark, that oppositioa to the Bill came front quarters whence it was lea•a to be expected, and from quarters not entitled to the greatest confidence and respect in matters relating to the interes's of Irriar ri. .11r. LITTLETON said, in reply to the inquiries of his Hon. Fri:nil (the Member for Limerick), that the Bill was intended to exter.ll only to counti7s, and thm is was his intention rot to pre-9 it, tiolcas the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill sl.i.u/d pass into a,. lILTME was opposed to the principle of the proposed DR 111 w.oi desirous of ruppor.ing every I:ICaMITC c:Jculated to emend, a. ti rot to limit, the rigid of buffrage, and could not, therefore. ap pro% e of a Bill which sought to abridge and take away the rights of t!te prople, which it was his anxie:y not to diminish, but to increase. The Cat'ailic Emancipation Bill he had supported. and would con. linty. , to do sot but he was unwilling that that measure should he carried through any compromise, as seeuied to be intended by the present Bill. . - - Lord ALT lIOR P had supported the principle of Parliamen tary Rennin, on the princlple;of its being likely to increase the number of independent voters; but from the hest information which he could procure on the subject of the elective franchise in Ireland, h..: was of opinion that the system of the elective franchise, as related to the fusty shilling freeholders there, was calculated to diminish, and not to increase, that iudrpendcace. Ile al.ould therefore nipport the present MIL Colonel TRENCH said, it was impossible to read the evidence before /he House, relating to the forty shilling freeholdera in Ire land, without being tilled with disgust. There were w..ne of the evils cif Ireland whtbh ,more Peremptorily called fir regulation, than that which it was proposed by the present II:11 to remedy. After a few words from 3lr. O. whim were inaudible in the Gallery, leave was grant,* to bring in a Bill'to regulate the elective franchise in Ireland, which slr. Brownlow, Mr. Wade house, Mr. Plunkett, Mr. Littleton, itc. were appointed to prernre. SPIRIT DUTIES DILL. On the motion of the CHANCELL(►It of the EXCHEQUER. the Douse resolved itself into a Committee on the Spirit Duties The CH ANe:ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had already ex plained the general principle on which he was ir.duced to recom mend thealteration of the present rate of duties on spirits. He teliutild therefore only occupy the attention of the Home to explain the details of the plait he intended to adopt. The main object he had in view was, that the law, in all parts of the empire. as far as cir cumstances would permit. should be uniform, and as closely aesical_ bated as possible. A reduction in the duty on spirits had taken place in Ireland anti Scethind, and the reduction had been found to be highly beneficial. The good effects of the change, particu larly in Ireland, had furnished a valuable example, worthy of beiog followed. One part of the change he should now propose would be, that spirits might be permitted to pass from one part of the United Kingdom to the other, without any restrietive duty, except that which was paid on the manufacture of spire.. He wished the duty to be, not on the sale, but on the manufacture of :spires. The next part of the altered plate would be in adjusting the new regulations for arranging the qualifications of persons to exercise the pursuit of distilling. As the duty paid by distillers was large, there :Mould be some restraint on the persons perechted to distil. In Scotland it was requisite that the distillers should have the certificate of three Justices of the Peace, an a test of qualification. He would not recommend the adoption of this mode of qualifica tion here, but he would suggest that the person permitted should pay at least rates to the amount of 201. per annum. For the convenience of collection, &a lie would also recommend that the distillery should be built within a quarter of a mile of a town of SOO inhabited bowies, with the exception. of course, of already established distilleries. The size of the still's was the next point of considera tion. It had been hitherto required that the mills should be ca pacious enough to contain three thousand gallons. He would re duce that to four hundred gallons, which was the former standard for the size of the stills. The pre..ent duty was lee, per gallon, at 7 per cent, over-proof. He would propose the reduction to :ea 1011. per gallon. This would be the duty oil spirits distilled from grain, as well as spirits distilled from mah, between which a distinction had previously existed, the former paying duty at the rate of fee. and the latter at the rate of 3-e. per gallon. 'there was CFO that which was understood by the imperial gallon, which was larger than the common wine gallon, and on which the duty would be 7a. The slim of as. ldd. which might appear a singular stun to fix upon, wax adopted by him with a view of equalizing the duty, and to prevent the inconvenience of fractional differences that would be likely to arise from a different rue adapted to different measure ments. These regulations would, in his opinion, be attended with real advantages to the interests of those engaged in distilling, as well as to the country at large- The Right Honourable Gentleman emended by moving a resolution agreeable to the preceding state- , num. Sir J. NEWPORT thanked the Right Honourable Gentleman for the measure he had introduced. It was one which he had long desired to see adopted, as it was greedy calculated to promote that recede= of intercourse between this country and Ireland which would mainly tend to the increased prosperity and wealth of both countries. lie eislied to are Ireland assimilated in every regu lation to England, as closely as Kent, Essex, or any of her own counties. Mr. W. SMITH opposed the Bill, as calculated to have an in. Haloes effect on the morals of the peep!:. In Ireland and in Scotland a reduction had taken place it was true, but the reason of the reduction was the great extent to which smuggling was carried on, and the question then was, whether there should be a low duty or no cone ction at all. This wax the case with Ire land, and nearly so with Scotland. Such a necessity did not exist in this country, and he was unwilling to sanction the passing of a law which would enable the lower orders of the people to get drunk for a shilling ; indeed, fur so low a sum they might do so already. In his opinion, meet of the frightful crimes which disgraced Ireland might be attributed to the cheapness and facility of procuring spirits . The evidence of Mr. New e nh am , Hi g h Sheriff of the county of Cork, corroborated by other strong testimony, showed that both in Ireland and this country most of the enormous crimes, elicit as 'murder and dating burgh trees, were committed by persons under the influence of ardent spirits. With a view, there fore, of preserving the morality of the people, and as one means of doing so, he was unwilling to support the principle of a Bib!, the object of which was to effect the cheapness of spirits. The chancel were that if the duties should be reduced the lower classes would drink ardent spirits in laze quantiti es . Th e Scotch are said to be a sober people, but it is well known thnt there is much greater difficulty in getting a ha'f crown it Scotland than in England. He remembered the old story, of him who boasted, that geese were tech! fur two-pence, and was asked where the two pence was to be found. If the reduction in spirits is carried to the extent which is proposed, every tradesn.an in London will be en abled to spec as much from lets daily wages, as would poison him if expended in the purchase of ardent spirits. Whaterer might be the result, he had the consuLetion tat knowing that lie had deli. vered his elation on the subject, andfnot before he had given it the fullest consideration. Ile really thought it herd that the country should have its sober habits broken, arch temptations to more ieee gutar habits thrown in the way of the ill-dispoeed. Mr. HUME did not consider the effect of the proposed redue. tians on the murals of the people worthy of much consideration. He thought that the proposed regulations would be beneficial, and recommended the Chancellor also to reduce the duty on malt. The temptation to smuggle was now very great. and if the deities in England and Seotland, as well as in Ireland, were equalised, it would do vetch to prevent smuggling, and cause no considerable diminution of the Revenue. The use of ardent spirits proceeded, he thought, from poverty, and not freest the cheapness of spirits. Where ardent spirits were dear, excesses were most prevalent. Hal land, France, and the United States were examples. Ardent spirits were net morn than half as deer in those countries as they were in England, and yet drunken:a-vs does not prevail to the sante extent which it does iR England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explain-i. lie was anxious for the eq ualization of the dunes, and would be dis. posed to reduce them in lei:eland if he could raise them proper. tionably in Scotland rind Irchs'd. lie did not deein this expedient, however, for if the duty should be raked it would se: the smug glers to work with double vigour. lie did not agree with the Menthe- for Norwich (Mr. W. he:W)th= a reduction of the elutie s would &Lige the country with drunken:tee*. Ile (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was charged on tins occasion with acting in op. position to the spirit of all his preelee.seure. whe lied raised the ditties. It WO. 0 mietske, however, to !suppose that former Chau cellar' of the Exchequer raised the ditties in order to make spirits dear. The Increase of duties by his predecessors was not intended for the morel object of preventing the . people front drinking, but what many wecuid perhaps consider the immoral object of inerease ing the revenue. Ile shoat much lament the evils which the Hon. Gertleman anticipated, but he could not agree that just grounds existed for any such t: sec:re:able anticiparioes. .he C. 11. licrtliiNSON concurred with the Hon. Member for Wa:erford in thendeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the manner in which he had treated this subject. He recommended the Chancellor of the Exchequer to encourage breweries, the reduce of which was greatly preferable to ardent spirits. Mr. GORDON tit:premed the idea of raising the duties in Scotland ..... After a kw obvrvationv from Genera! BART, the Resolutions were agreed to, and .ti How!. resumed. The Report was nrderi d to be received nn Monday. 3I R. R ICII'S COLT,EcTioN. The CY.I.INCEI.LOR of the EXCIII:QI:ER rose to move that a VIM of 7,krot. tv granted to his Majesty, fur the purchase of Mr. Rich's collection cif :was, curiosities, and manuscripts.

If this fact wanes he had stated, he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman, or some Member connected with Government. would more for a Select Comiaitwe to inquire into the state of the public monuments. After A few words from Mr. BANE ES, Mr. 111 1 311.; Sq. 0.

The question was then put and carried that a slim of 7,50 1 11. be graaira for purchasing the coins, antiquities, and manuscripts of the late Mr. Rich, for the purpose of their being deposited in the British Museum.
