Considering, also, how much benefit the linen trade of Ireland derives from having s i g h t t o chin), on all occasions, the support of the leading gentlemen of the country, your Committee cannot recommend in the House the adoption of any mem , sure which could by possibility deprive the trade of this great advantage, or which could transfer the protection of its interests to an f Oiot of less dis intorested class of the etweinittui . Yobr Committee are, however, of opinion, that frequent intercourse should be held with those con. edited in the trade. on their various subjects of application, which ought to receive more prompt attention and decision than has been under present circumstances afforded. e - Wheel manufacturer pussesses in the ust of this (as stir superior and ch ea p e r raw ma t er i a l. They therefore fully concur in opinion with the 'testimony of all those who have been examined to the point, that every encouragement. whether by premium or regu:ation of the Board, or by provision of law, should be afforded to procure improvement in the culture and preparation of fist for market ; and observe with sati.faction, on reference to the proceedings of the Board, that some succeisful efffiris have been made to estublish the most ap proved sciitch mills in the various flex-growing. districts, which ought to be perseveriogly continued. tinder the third head of couideratum, it appears to yoir Committee, that the concurrent testimony of all those examined, goes to establish the absolute necessity of the provincial and county idsliectors. l i particularly of this last description of officer, whose duties are incessant, and whose labour* are inade quately and iujudicioesly reustmerated, to which subject they recommend the attention of the Linen Board. Under the fourth head of Report, your Com-. mittee do not feel themselves competent to offer as full and detailed en opinion as the subject de mands ; at this period of the Session they have not time to communicate as largely, or to investigate as minutely, as the interests of the trade may require, still leas In revise the whole code of law on this subject. Oa oue point, however, they are decided in opinion, that legislative powers ought to he given, as referred to in the second head of Report. to regulate the manner of exposing fax 41. mm-he's in Ireland; and whatever further amendments may be required to the laws for the regulation of the linen trade of Ireland, your Committee recommend to be considered in the next Session of Parlia ment. appoint three persons to set as Commissioners lot' their county, in communication with the General Board; the General Board to submit their plans and estimates for new improvements and fur repairs to the Grand Juries, mid upon their 'auctioning them and presenting the necenary fund', the work to be executed under the orders of the Gen'erril Board s by which means the public will have the advantage of the skill and science of professio...at engineets in superintending the execution, aci.l maintaining in good condition, these important pub lie In wiped to those mail roods which are tinder the management of Turnpike Trustees, your Com mittee are of opinion, in consequence of there ni.t existing in Ireland any power of indicting them :is in England, that the General Board of Commis sioners should have, power to examine the accounts og ali tdrnpike trusts, and to inspect their roads, and In- ue of say part of the same being out of repair, the Cousasissionere first to apply to the Trus tees to put ihe same into repair within a prearribM period of time ; and then, if their application is not attended to, make the repairs themselves, and levy the expense upon the Trustees, THE WAY TO KEEP HIV.

The mail coach system in Ireland has little belong ing to it, except in one or two instances, which re sembles the order, steadiness, alacrity, comfort, and appearance, which are the peculiar chsractenatica of the manner in which the English mails are ma naged. There are, no doubt, local difficulties in the way of bringing it to • more perfect state; and some of these difficulties your Committee regret to find cannot be easily removed from the nature of the c•ntruets which have been entered into. Your Committee feel no hesitation in saying, that it is highly advisable that the office of Superintendent and Inspector of Mail Coaches should be filled by some person who has been brought ■p in the Eng lish Post-office, and who is well acquainted with the mail coach system of England. The attention of your Committee has been drawn to the additional tolls which are payable ou stage coaches upon the Kilcullen, Limerick, Mullingar, and some other roads. These tolls operate as a great hardship on coach companies, and obstruct the progress of improvement in stage coach travel ling, ■nd the great public advantages which belong to it. It appears that these additional tolls, when firs( imposed, amounted to ss. a horse, at every gate, upon a coach carrying more than six inside and three outside pailengers; and, therefore, that they clearly were of the nature of penalties fur limiting the number of passengers to be carried by • coach. They are now reduced to ■n additional toll of ed. a horse at every gate, and are payable on all coaches beyond what is paid on other car riages. Your Committee are of opinion. that this subject deserves to be more fully inquired into, with a view of removing these tolls. Should the timid Companies or Trustees be able, contrary to the ex pectation of your Committee, to establish any right to have them considered as secured to them upon the faith of Parliament. then your Committee would recommend an advance on their other tolls to be grunted, sufficient to give them • fair remu neration for taking away the additional toll on stage coacher. With respect to the present establishment, in point of expense, as it exists in Dublin, your Com mittee have examined a variety of evidence, sub mitted herewith, the documentary part of which is annexed in an Appendix; by a cromparative view of the establishment in 1797. (a year to which returns required by the Treasury refer) with the last year, a reduction of LOW. in salaries and allowances, appears in favour of IB2i. Your Committee are of opinion, that e fund m'sght be made available towards the expense of the establishment, by a small charge in the nature of rent fur the warerooms occupied in the Linen Hull, amounting in number to 465; your Committee having ascertained that charges made at other linen halls have not produced any inconvenience or com plaint. This matter, however, together with any further practicable reduction of expense, your Committee consider will be best left, under this their recom mendation, to the revision and arrangement of the Trustees themselves, who have already considerably reformed the salaries of some of their officers. In considering the fifth and last head of Report, namely, bounty 011 exportation, your Committee have to observe, that the trade has apparently ad vanced under this encouragement ; and the evidence Of all those examined on the subject pronounces the co minuance of the bounty to be esiiential to the interests of the manufacture, both in Great Britain and It eland. Wi t h vespect to any fraudulent practices, which may have been supposed to cilia in obtaining bounty, yocr Committee feel they cannot do better than direct the' attention of the revenue departments t o th ese allege ions, by whom the remedy against such fraud (if it e.:riwts) should be applied; the sub. ject is of import:rem, as the amount of bounty paid in the last year 'out above 452,000/. Your Committee cairewt close this Report oil:)_ out again impressing °poi . ' your consideration the very great importance of the linen manufacture to the prosperity of Ireland ; and that, in their opi., nion, it is the doty of the Trustees of the Linen Board, by every possible means, to extend this manufacture to the south and west of Ireland ; for 'wherever it has 'Obtained a footing, industry, moral habits, contentment, and traoquillity, bete followed. July 11, iett. Under the second head, it appears to your Com mittee, on reference to the proceedings of the Beard, now before your Committee, that the Trus tees have, at various times, with laudable anxiety, given much attention to the proposals and sugges tions of individuals, who have offered plans and in ventions for the improvement of the manufacture in its different stages and branches, from which great benefit has resulted, particularly in the art of bleaching, which was formerly cmifined to the sum mer season ; but which, by iinposlived process, is now carried on throughout the year, producing a better article, with a considerable redaction of ex pense; and it appears to your Committee, that the Board have in this and other instances given scope to experiments beyond whist individuals in the trade, without their encouragement, would have risked; the objects of these experiments, when successful, have been generally adopted ; and when the reverse (at has sometimes happened) small individual loss has been occasioned. It is tit that your Committee should also observe, under this head, that Irish diaper and damask, which have in their turn re ceived the encouragement of the Board, stand now unexcelled for their durability and beauty as a fabric. !KISH ROADS. SIXTH REPORT• The Sleet Committee appointed to ingot.** into the sista of the Roads from London to Holyhead, ant.. 4 frost Chester to Holyhead; into the regulations for conveying bin Ma. jeaty'a Mail between Loadrus and Dublin, ati.i between the Northers Parts of Distend and Doblin, sod between Debits and the interior of Ireland, sod into th e stale of Four Committee hive called for return., showing the postage charged rin letters from London to the principal towns in Ireland, and the tables by which the charges are regulated, which returns are invert es in the Appendix. The charge on a letter from London to Cork is td., the diatsnce from London to Cork, in Eoglish miles, being 492 miles. The charge on a letter from London to any place in Great Britain, 49 miles from London, is 14d. that is 12d. less than on • letter to Cork. There is the same pro portional exceeding of charge on all letters passing between Great Britain and Ireland; and as it is to be inferred that the rates of postage in Great Bri tain have been carried as high as is consistent with the interests of the Post Office revenue, this exceed ing must have a most injurious effect in dimi , lish. ing correspondence, ■nd in promoting plans for evading the Post Office duties. the Mail Coach Ronda in Ireland; and to report their Obrervatioas thereupon, together with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before then trout lime to time, to lb* House; have agreed to the follow/tag Report : Your Committee have inquired into the manner of conveying his Majes'y's mails between DUblin and the interior of Ireland, and into the state of the mail coach roads in Ireland. Canvass duck and sail cloth have, by premium. also had their share of support, which from evidence before your Committee, may be henceforth advanv tageou►ly directed by the Board to other objects. I In the distribution of the small utensils of mann:. facture by the Board, viz. wheels. reels, and hackles, your Committee are of opinion, that indus try has been considerably excited amongst the very poorest classes, particularly of the female part of society. This distribution has hitherto been accomplished, partly througl. the Trustees themselves in their in dividual capacities, in their respective neighbour. hoods, to whom grants of these articles are annually made, and partly through ladies or gentlemen su perintending schools of education and industry ; al whose disposal grants of these utensils are placed. on proper application and certificate. so far as the means of the Board enable them to afford such aid. By the Act of the 45th George 111. c. 43,, " to amend the Laws for improving and keeping in re pair the post roads in Ireland, and for rendering the conveyance of letters, by his• Majesty's Post Oilier, more secure and expeditions," the Isost nsasters•Grneral of Ireland were required to have surveys made or all the mail coach roads, with plans and estimates for the improvement of them ; they were also required to lay these plans before the different county Grand Juries, where the roads were county roads, and before the Trus'ees of Turn pike roads, where the roads were vested in Trusters. The Act also enabled the Government to make such advances of money to the Grand Juries and to the Trustees, as were necessary fur executing the proposed improvements. It appears from the documents which have been laid before your Committee, that surveys have bees made of 4,068 miles of mail road ; that the estimates for improving this extent of road amount to 1,934,7841.; and that the sum of 673.5161. has been presented and applied by the Grand Juries, from time to time since 1815, in improving old and making new mail roads. Notwithstanding this great expenditure, the evi dence which has been given before your Committee, and the documents already referred to, fully prove that the mail roads of Ireland are, in many in stances, in a very bad slate: although the new lines of road appear to have been laid out in • scientific manner, the execution of the work has frequently been defective, and in some cases must have been accompanied with great dishonesty. It appears to your Committee, that the advan tages promised by the Act of 1815 have not been fully brought into operation, in conarquence of a subsequent law passed in 1816. 'l'bey are now disposed to recommend the al:- pointment of a Board of Commissioners, epou tl.e precedent.. of the Highland Road and Holyhead Road Commissioners, as the best plan for superin tending the Irish mail coach roads: the Commis sioners to be named by Parliament; not to have any salary; and the chairman of the Board to be some considerable public offsa:er. lir - order to pre serve a connexion between the General Board and the counties, each Gaud Jury may be enabled to The following table ',tows what the posing, now is on a single letter from London, and what it ought to be accordlog ro the English Post Office table, to the under-mentioned places:— Distance in Thane by Present Cline.

The effect of the existing law for regulating the postage of letters in Ireland which come from Eng. land is thus shewn to be a greater duty than is paid in Great Britain ; and therefore it appears to your Committee that this duty is contrary to die Act.of Union, which provides that no duty shall be levied in Ireland on any article greater than the duly on the same description of article. is in England. Although a considerable extent of evidence has been given to your Committee upon the octant state of several of the principal roads in belittl e the time of your Conimittee has been so Much en gaged in preparing the five Reports, which they have already presented to the House, in the course of this Session, that they have not been able to ex amine into this part of the order of reference no a way to enable them to make a satisfactory, Report ups* it.

Jolty 4,18 ft. But the most important proceeding to which the [Lard has latterly directed its attention. is the cul ture and preparation of flax itself, the substantial basis of the linen manufacture. The natural excellent qoality of Irish flex. as contrasted with foreign or British, has been admit ted ; yet at market it is found to bear a deteriorated Price, when compared with either of these. To investigate and remedy this evil, the Board employed one of its officers, well conversant in agriculture, and all the concerns of the linen trade•, to proceed to Scotland, and those parte of England where the management of flax was best understood. Mr. William Marshall (whose evidence and report on this subject are hereunto annexed) performed this duty in $ manner which has 'wowed the import. ante of the investigation, and to which your Com mittee beg leave particularly to refer. It appears to your Committee. from the returns called for, and now before them, the nearly 43,000 tons of flax, or a quantity which would occupy the culture of 100,000 acres, was imported last year into Great Britain, whilst the average number of acres sown with flax-seed in Ireland, for the last three years, was 83,000 acres; which amount, your Committee entertain reasonable expectation, might be doubled, ■s the soil end climate there are pe culiarly favourable to the culture of flax. Where your Committee consider that this foreign flex, eltbough imported with a duty, cots compete with home-grown flax in the British market, they view with anxiety the advantage which the foreign THEATRE ROYAL, ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE, STRAND.

The Select Committee appointed to consider of the laws which regulate the linen trade of Ireland, and to report their oh bons thereupon to the Noose, have proceeded to investigate the matter referred to them, and to examine evidence there on ; and have found the subject to be deeply in teresting to the welfare of Ireland. Your Committee feel warranted in stating. that the linen trade of Ireland has mainly contributed to the introduction of moral habits and pesceablr con duct is those parts where it has become established for any length of time. That it has promoted industry in a manner the most beneficial to society, exciting the families of the cottager and the farmer, throughout the year, to profitable occupation, male and female, old and young, within their respective homes, procuring for ' them a subsi►tence (although hard earned). as well as the means of discharging their obligations to their landlords. _ With these impressions, your Committee have felt it their duty to examine into -Ist. The constitution and estabhshment of the Board of Trustees appointed to superintend the concerns of the linen sad hempen manufacture of Ireland. W.

Into the quantum of blowiest paid o• the exportation of line.; the applicatioo of those bounties to the different descriptions of linen, whether judiciously made by the provisions of the existing law ; spud whether, ie vac lice, they have been fairly and honestly demanded and paid on lines exported ; nod whether she whole or any part of those bounties are essential to the well-being of the trade. With reference to the first part of the first head of examination, your Committee have to observe, that the Trustees of the Linen Manufactuie were first constituted a Board in the 9th year of Queen Anne, since which period thiv great staple of Ireland has attracted ►he constant attention and support of Pa►liatnent. - • • The Trustees act without salary ; their attend ance is voluntary, and their spy( ) i ))) incur is vested in the Chief Governor of Ireland. Their selection appears generally to have been made without re gard to any other considerations than those of their rank, talent, character, and stake in point of pro perty in the country, which qualifications amply fit them to guard the interest of this most important object to Ireland. And although the present con stitution of the Linen Board may be open to come objection., yet, nevertheless, it appears to your Committee to secure to the linen trade. so pussy advantages, that they do not feel themselves justi fied in recommending any alteration. It could not be expected that the Trustees, who Ore gentlemen of rank and property, and who rebeive no salary for the duties performed by them, should dedicate their time exclusively to the management of the concerns of the Board; and the documents before your Committee prove, that the attendance at the meetings held in Dublin is mostly confined to those who reside in that city. or is its immediate yid. pity, and that winch of the bossiness is, therefore, tramacted in the absence of the majority of the Trustees. _ .
