The Speech to be del iverkl this day by his &Want was read at the Council. v.** . 0. 7 . • It io generally esisetied that the Session of Par liament, which contsimsom this day, will be erc tsernely interesting and animated. The Opposition is the two Houses mein to disclaim every purpose of seeking l 6 acquire the seats of office, but they will labour most strenuously to accomplish the great object of the people, is conipelling the Ministers to sedum their present extra-ragout expenditure. This will be the• great and paramount labour of the Session, and should the friends of the people be (Twilled with success in their pstrititic efforts, the country may anticipate as a neceisary consequence a reduction of some portion of the taxes. In this work no trouble;however slight, should be declined -^wisary, nor should the ridicule of the Mi .cleterthe country party from .neat its every chtinuel, no matter how inconsiderable each particular saving may he represented. Lord. CIINIIOgIti, at the Hereford meeting a few days since, spoke with contempt or the paltry suns of 500;0001., which might, as he said, be . saved by the united exertions of the Op.: . position in Parliament and•thesense of the country; ' • but be it recollected' that the sum of 500,0004 a year, even should no larger raring be effected, is contemptible or trifling only iu comparison with the immensely largo sums that •are or hare been squandered by the Ministers. Lel 300,000/. a year . J beset apart honestly and faithfully for the purposel of being applied with all the effect of compound interest towards the discharge of the national debt, sud the effect in the space of 40years would perhaps, astonish Lord Csisasoaws, or any other person"' who may not be accustomed to the molts of with. metical computation. The sum in itself is by sel means to be despised, hut it was assumed some what too arbitrarily by the Noble Viscount as the j absolute extent of the total savings which a care."l ful revision of the public estimates might offer. It 1 was very clearly shewn by Mr. Hotta during the 1 last Session, that in the proposed expenditure of 18,041,8004 a reduction might have been expedi tiously and safely effected to the amount of more than 3,000,0001. We do not expect that in the estimated expenditure of the - -Id 3 ear the Mi . _ 'listen and their pi pureeing retrench present Dieters will chew a reduction, as compared with the supply of the last year. to the amount of even one million; and if such should appear to be the case, the exertions of the Opposition in Parliament, aided by the voice of the country at liege, may very rea sonably anticipate a fur more important victory than the cautious admission of Lord CRANDOINE would seem to promise. At the close of the last Session of Parliament the Ministers admitted very freely that they did not doubt the existence of a large share of distress among the agricultural body of the empire, and their silent concession of the husbandry horse tax evinced a disposition upon their part to gratify the wiabes of the landed proprietors. In this entices eion, however, it may he remembered that the Mi nisters only did not oppose Mr. CURWEIeII motion. They will never allow that the removal of a tax can be the slightest advantage to the suffering people; and upon the subject of this tax in parti cular it was darkly hinted, that if the removal of it were found not to he so beneficial to the farmers as was hoped, it might be found expedient again to impose it. The distresses of the farmers have since . that time increased, and we should not be much I surprised now to hear the Ministers use this nos creased degree of suffering, which the remission of the little duty on husbandry horses was not sum cient to prevent, as an argument against any fur ther removal of taxation. They will say, IVe con sented to reprul the husbandry horse tax last Ses sion in opposition to our own judgment, because you seemed to •sutlctiutte much good Flom it; you acknowledge that the expected good is not trppap, rent, why then should we now hope a more fulmars able result from a farther repeal ?" The adroit tar may not be apparent, solely because it aglow borne by the excess of suffering; but haidoiltatie. Peal of taxesesierided 1.14 Semen oeelos.lll, . Awe of these than the little dotytif6ti''qual . tan horses, it is most likely that the farmer, wo uld not now be so loud iu their complaints. The farmers - "~ 4!..

The 3tAixtliou. to be solved by Paths. anent, therefore, will be, whether the farmer; are t o b e e e ttA•e t f t it the expense of the. landlords or qf ilte're t i4ir s! The landlords, if they exert thrtn« oervelt,..breo jhe solutip,o of this point in their own po'Wer, and in securin their pervoital.interesis they. will have the satisfaction of reflecting that they ee l the same time essentially promote • these of t h e empire in general. • ....!4`4,tert $0 , 14 The rate of Ireland mutt be made • prominent•l subject of.inqpia iq hush Houses of Parliament, and in this subject must nrcessiirilybe involved the question of Catholic t,mancipition. cud the expe diency of relieving .the .Clergy o f t h e Established Church in Irelan d from the cruel necessity of !itorioin;; t4eir,nsiapstpf support from the uncertain and dangerous mitre of collecting tithes. A commutation of titheefor any other species of pro. periy must be an essential oervice.to the church, while it would remove sae of the most fruitful sources of angry. mid vindictive ominous from the great body of the peasantry. To the . latter the commutation, in point of fact, would eveutuallybe . of no advantage, because the resits would be raised in the proportion of the tithes removed, and the only persons served would be the landlord.. But who can deny the omnipotence of opinion, or hope to stem the torrent of prejudice by the silent opera. tion of reason ? • The Surrey county meeting to take into conside ration the agricultural (Nitre's of the country, wes held yesterday at Epsom. It was numerously and respectably attended. A Petition. ascribing the evil to excessive taxation, and recommend.* ing a reduction of the burdens as the only and effectual cure, was moved by Mr. W. Worsens, and seconded by Captain MABERLY. This up. peered i be the sense of those who had signed the for the meeting; but it was objected that the Petition did not go far enough, laud was deficient in not. including a Resolution in favour of Parliamentary Reform, the corruption of Par liament being the source of the excessive taxation. Reform, however, not bring noticed in the RequiSition, the High Sheriff refused. to allow it to be made a part or the proceedings; bet so determined were the meting upon that point, it although they approved the Petition as far as it went, they negatived it roller tbru.pass it without favourite Reform.. The High Sheriff then dimolved the meeting, • considerable. party of which proceeded to the Assembly Room, and pre pared a new Requisition, including Reform, which was presented to the High Sheriff. The latter, however, declined to call en immediate meeting, in conformity with the precedent of .thy tots Suffolk . meeting, alleging that he did nor think it would be oesiisg Andy by those who had staid away from i‘o meeting, not expecting from the purport of the for Mer Requisition that the subject of Reform would be introduced, nor by those who were gone away, conceiving the business at an end ; but he con sented to fix • meeting for this day fortnight. A full report of the proceedings is given in our pre ceding columns. They will be found very in. tercstiug. We have received • ulnae of American Papers, including • series from New York to the 10th et, January. The business in Congress is totally titine of interest; a n d there is no receut intelligence from South America. tiR,L • --- - We have received Papers from various parts of Ireland, including some from Dublin of Saturday !ask, Their intelligence is of a favourable com plexion. A considerable quantity of young tim ber has been cut down by the White Boys upon the lands of Mr. Lea DAR, in the county of Co►k, fur the purpose of undoing pikes. This is the only new outrage comMitied in that quarter, the local Journals of which express a confident expecta tion of the immediate restoration of the pub lic tranquillity. 'the Aiittquis WILLESLRY, it is said, means tu visit the seat of the recent dig. titrbances in person. The remains of the unfortu. nate BUCKLEY, after having beets buried for a week, were disinterred on Sunday re'isnight, for the par. pose of holding an inquest. The investigation is likely to occupy a length of time. We are glad ih A r th e proceeding, however tardy, has been adopted. An order was issued by Mr. GRANT, and is now in force, that the yeomanry should not be employed in *oppressing illicit distillation, the ofl'ence fur which BucitLec was apprehended. The funds experienced a further improvement yesterday. Cons.ls fur account rose to 7n, but lelt cast 771. In the course of the day it was confidently asserted that • deputation from the Bunk Directors bad been requested to confer with the Miuister upon .ante plan respecting in increase of the circulating medium, presumed to be en offer ou their pert to discount at 4 per cent. The reaction in the funds at the close of the market is ascribed to this report. The buyers yesterday were la a large amount, cud were the same parties who, last weak, were the principal, if not the only sellers. The revenue for the lust month is underetood to be unusually good, and a confident expectation conti nues to prevail that the funds will improve. On Tuesday Wit.LiAst Eitsatite, Esq.
