The CHANCILL rr the FATUitnuilut said, it would oecopy too ruliOs of the time of the House to stem the canoes reogiats that must necessanly cause dim difference in thooecousts. However they would all come in their props, time before the Howse, end 'meld be most satisfactorily explained. But be wished to state generally, that one of the priacip.il canoes of this tippers-tit irregularity woo, that throe 'Become.' were drawn sw for different periods.—(We 'regret to state that ye Right Hon. . bath is alio and bialiabseqtaaatoastrolo, e. low a tone of *nice r so to render ,it almost lila . possible to collect his meaning in the Gallery.] Mr. Huila dunked his Him. and gallant Friend (Calomel Davies) for bringing that subject before the House, although he had not the pipers then that would point out the inaccuracies; mud he wished the House to attend to the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the two accounts were drawn up fur different periods. He held iii his hand two papers, both containing an account of the public income, and both completely different. They were both up to the sth January, 1821, and ,signed "C. Arbuthnot :" so that there could be so Apubt of their both being authentic. • Theo. was, .lowever, in these two statements a material diffe •emoce, and he thought the Chancellor of the Exche toter should not be allowed to stir o n e f o ot unt il h e :eitplained and reconciled these differences. lo lls/ail, therefore. of moving that the Speaker do lam the Chair, he should move that the Chen. garner of the Exchequer be called upon to reams. •ele the differences in the accounts of the public - income. '' Mr. RICARDO agreed with his Hoe. Friend (Mr. e) is the necessity of some explanation. Last the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated here would be a surplus of 4.000,0001., instead of itou which it appeared there were no more they 2,600,000/. The interest of Exchequer Bills had been stated to be 1,700,0001., whereas it appeared it amounted in reality to upwards of 2,000,0001. (Hear, hear.)—Now if accounts were allowed to go on in that manner from year to year, what security had the House that next year the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not come down and say that two millions out of the five millions appropriated to the sinking fund had been devoted to the public service. Last- year the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had stated that the total expenses of the army and nom &re would amount to 18,200,0001., instead of 'which they exceeded that estimate neatly half II million, amounting ins rattly to 18,550,000/. Last year they had been told there would be a surplus of four millions, but when the accounts came to be produced, it would be found there was only a real surplus of 2,600,000/. Ile therefore thought the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was bound to reconcile these differences. —(Hear, hear.) The CH ANc aLtoe of the EXCHEQUER remarked, that there would be abundant opportunity of ex plaining all these points in the proper time. It was impossible at present to go into all the Items ; but they would, no doubt, be satisfactorily explained. Mr. Et.Lics said ghat from the part he h4d taken in these accounts last year, it would not Ise considered stran g e if h e asked the Chancellor . , ~ of the r.xchequer if it was his intention to move .for a Committee to examine and simplify the pub lic accounts. The House must see how extremely Necessary such a measure would be at present.— • (Hear, hear.)—Last year lie had asked the Right Hon. Geutlearan a question which he now repeated, Whether, if the surplus of four millions, which he expected, did not amount to that sum, how lie would make up the deficiency ? They found that 4,300,000/. had been expended by the Com missioners fur the reduction of the national debt, amid the surplus anticipated, instead of amounting to 4,000,0001. amounted iu reality to only 2.600,0001. He therefore wished to know how these deficiencies would be made up ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that with respect to the first question lie could have no objection, fur he concurred in the propriety of adopting some mode of simplifying the acconuts, and he considered the best way of so doing would be the appointment of a Committee. With respect to the amount of the sinking fund, the Hon. Gentleman must be aware it was not discretionary with the Treasury, it was fixed by certain Acts of Parliament, and there was no power of digression. It was impossible that every year the produce of the revenue would meet the estimates, and the failure in that respect must inevitably create these differences to the accounts. Mr. Cuawxts wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if it was his intention not to take off a tax, but to impose one. He meant to put on a tax upon tallow, and thereby he would be en abled to reduce the tax upon soap and candles. If it was not the intention of Government, he should take an early opportunity to submit a proposition on the subject to the House. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that if he succeeded in collecting the opinion of the Chancellor of the Ex- Arguer, the deficiency (if any existed io the sink- Jog fund) should be made by an addition from the - outntided debt. If that were the case, the House must see the sinking fund was a mere juggle.— (Hear, bear.) 1 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCDEQUER observed, ' that the Eight Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Tier ney) could tint be ignorant that a certaiu 6%1113 was every year fixed for the sinking fund by Act of Alinement. In case of deficiency, Excheqtter Bills were issued, ' , drying in their quantity in pro portion to the increase or decrease of the revenue. Mr. TIRRNEy *lid, for the last five yams he had taken no port whatever in finance accounts. Pre vious to that, he should perhaps apologize for hey 4 laugh);sad t. coal change which Mr. Phi effected for simplifying( the public ac counts. had been departed Not it t i=luses. They heard the Chancellor of UPI coo 'sternly talking of upholding wise& barest , emid public credit, when. in point of feet. he weWeeer. pellevl every quieter day to depend epee the bounty of the Bank to psy the public creditor. He .1111 went on holding out a deinaiva lIIMIPaf a &taking fund. when he knew it woo allell*ef hie' system not to realise it. Mr. Bator deprecated the system of filieg a tom upon tallow. He woo re a dy to go g with NV Clentlennto in obtaining th e rapist airy lax. sF . .get he weetW out eseweat to hoe* a toe 9eoweesefl' 'Upon one port of the community to relieve another. It seemed to be the fashion of that House to assume a • monopoly of distress to sgridultute. He sin cerely wished it was the case. But all classes of the community laboured nodes severe distress, and it did not become the Hone to oppress one pert to relieve the other, nor did it become Gentlemen whom that question concerned, to let post in silence a proposition that might be carried lobo exection, Mr. Cuawam disclaimed the ides of imposing tan upon one part of the community for the benefit of the other: he felt alike for all. Mr. N. CEMENT said, a mistake seemed to prevail, that if the produce of another country was taxed, it would weigh heavily upon this. If, fur instance, there was a duty laid upon corn from Dantaic, that would benefit the persons ■brad as well as in this country, and it was the same with re spect to tallow. Colonel Wools considered such a tax would be highly beneficial. It would raise the price of cattle in this country, which were at present at a very low rate; and such an alteration would, in his opium, be highly beneficial. Mr. COBB wished to ask the Noble Marquis for some explanation respecting the dismissal of Mr. Browne, who was Vice. Consul at Turin. From what he had heard, he thought it a case worthy the consideration of the Home. The Marquis of LONDONDMY replied, that the grounds of the dismissal of Mr. Browne had been folly investigated at the office, and he did not con ceive it woald benefit the case to have it brought before the consideration of the House. AUSTRIAN LOAN. The Hon. ROM= SSEITU wished to ask the Noble Marquis whether any steps had been taken to recover the money flue by the Austrian Govern ment to this country ? The ilittglais et L•htsommuir said, there was • (*paella' o• the subject pending between the two Courts, and at the proper time the result would be made known to the Home. The Hon. ROBERT SallTil said he should feel it his duty, on an early occasion, to submit • pro potation to the House on the subject, in order that the negociation might be strengthened by a vote of Parliament. Sir ISAAC COFFIN, seeing the Hon. Member for Aberdeen in Ins place, wished to make some obser vations. Ile was not at all disposed to consider him the Oracle of Delphos some people supposed. for most of his statements were fallacious; and he mentioned this because the navy estimates were to be considered in the Committee of Supply. The SPLAKILII was quite at a loss to know how the speech of the Honourable Gentleman bore upon the question. The question before the House was, that they should go into a Committee of Ways sod means. and not of Supply. Sir Isaac Corns explained. Mr. S. Rica rose to ask the Right Hon. Gentle man whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to propose any reduction of the wsodow tax in Ireland The Order of the Day for a Committee of Wept and Means having been read, The Cruises'Acta of the EXCHEQUZIL said,before he moved that the Speaker shonld leave the Chair, he wished to state in reply to the question which bad been put to him by the Hon. Member for Cumberland (Mr. Curwen), that he was not pre pared to give any positive answer on the subject until he knew the revolt of the inquiry now pursu. ing by the Committee on Agriculture. With re spect to the question of the Hon. Member for Limerick (Mr. S. Rice), the answer which he bad to give was, that he was not aware of soy intention on the part of his Majesty's Ministers to Tropes any further remiuion of taxes than that which had already been mentioned. It was intended to retail one shilling a bushel of the malt duty in Ireland, the came as in this part of the United Kingdom. The House then resolved itself into a to know where say smell rule ai that laid down by the Right Hon. ()widen:tan below him (Mr. Tierney), With respect to giving notice of motions of this bstttre, win to be found: They were toting to raise IWs of money, and u question was pot to them whether they would agree to vote for is partieolar sum es the ailment of • tax on • particular description of pensions; and i any Member was not at liberty to propose as sir ernendmeot a vote for any other sum which he might think it more advisable to de as the asmountof the tax, there was no use tit all in their being called on to attend, and the tax had bet. tea be raised at once Without the form of a vote. If the objection or • Want of sufficient notice were good for any thing, it would go to this, that this particular tett ought to be taken odt of the Ways and Means for the present, and to be proposed at some future period, when the House might be bet ter prepared to consider the subject, Mr. MIN tY said, he had never stated it to be necessary, or that any role of the House required that notice should be given of any amendment which it was Intended to move in the Committee. He believed he knew and understood the usage of Parliament as well as the Hon. Member.—(Hear, bear.)—But candour was required to be observed on every occasion as well as the strict letter of the law, and he had merely appealed to the candour of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, which he had never found deficient, on the propriety of a timely notice of such a motion as this. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite ' not being aware of a n y inten tion to propose such an amendment, could not pos sibly be prepared to meet it. The effect of the tax, as proposed by the amendment, would bear particularly hard on some persons, while it would not be felt at all by others. There were offices created by particular Acts of Parliament, which expressly excepted them from soy duty what ever, and the allowancos of which had been framed with a view to that exception.-- ft was not a measure to be hastily adopted, to sub ject those Offices to the operaton of a tax which would take away half the income attached to them ; while no more was done by others whose allowances had been formed or increased under the considera tion of their liability to this tax. On these grounds it was that he proposed to the consideration of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen the propriety of giving notice of such a motion before it was brought for ward. Mr. Huss Said he was sure no man could charge him with any failure, generally speaking, in the ttb *mow, of the practice of giving notice of such motions as he intended to make. lie was always willing to do so when it was desirable; and he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would consent to postpone this vote for • few days, and furnish the House with an account of all such offices as were expressly excepted by Act of Parliament on their being established from the operation of this tax. In the hope that his request would be complied with, he would now ask leave to withdraw Itis amendment, and move instead that the consideration of this vote be postponed. The CHAncst.Loa of the Excnsquza said, that all the present holders of these offices and pensions had received their appointments subject only to this partial deduction, which was always made by the annual vote. This vote having been agreed to, it would be open to the Hon. Member at any future time, if be thought it his duty, to bring forward a specific motion for a general tax or reduction tii apply to all pensions and appointments generally. Mr. BIRNAL said he was sure that by the post ponement of this vote for a few days, no person holding any office or appointment whatever would he placed in a worse situation than that in which he stood at present. But if the Committee should now agree to this vote, and any Member should afterwards in compliance with what he considered his duty, bring forward a Bill fur making any fur ther deduction, he feared hr would then be told that he was too late, and should have brought his measure forward before this vote had passed the Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Houourable Member had entirely misunderstood his meaning, which was this, that the holders of the offices et present liable to this deduction would ac quire an undue advantage over those which are ex empt, by the withdrawing of the present and sub stituting a general tax upon all offices whatever. Sir J. lvterrowr said, he could not see how any person whatever could be inlay degree injured by the postponement of the consideration of the vote now before them for a few days. But he could see very clearly how a pretext for resisting any mo tmo altogether which might be hereafter made nit the subject, would be raised upon the passing of this vote at present. Mr. Hums said, in order to shew how necessary it was that the Committee should proceed with cau tion in the adoption of any vote which might pre clude the consideration hereafter of any measure for the reduction of the pensions and allowaoccs to some of those offices, he would melitiou one in stance which was afforded by the return made dur ing the last Session, of persons holding double offices. In the return (ruin the Admiralty Office, there was a gentleman who held an office in linty, from which he was superannuated, as unfit for duty, on a pension of 2001. He was afterwards appointed a Commissioner of Stamps, from which he was again superannuated as unfit for duty, on • pension of 6001. He was then again appointed Paymaster of the Pensions to Sea Officer's Widow. itt salary of 600/. ;so that after having breu supera ttttt s ated as unfit for duty Irotn two different offices, he now held a third, which together with his two pen sions, brought Max in an income of 4400/. a year. —(Hear, hear.) Sir J. 01110RW said, the Flotionrable Mesafwr was wholly incorrect its tratnie that any instance of the kind was to be found at the Admiralty Office.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved the usual annual tax of four shillings in the pound on the pensions and salaries of certain offices in England, Wales, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Mr. Hums moved, as an amendment, a tax of ten shillings in the pound on all pensions and allow ances throughout the whole of the United Kingdom. Mr. TIERNEY rose to suggest to the Hon.
