BAILLTE,, J nnx Piostsrsn, DAVID LYON, Wilt. MiTcrism., NEILL MALCOLM, SA UL. Drxosr, C. ROBERTSON, ALEX. GRANT, ROWLAND gITCIIELL, P. M. LUCAS, TO Ballot on the following question, viz. t " That this Court is deeply impressed with the injustice and iropolicy of the existing restrictions on the Sugar Trade of Britian India. " That these restrictions, while they operate most injuriously on the interests of the Merchants, the Shipowners, the Sugar Refiners, and the Manufacturers of this Country, as well as on those of the, British community at large, are peculiarly op pressive and unjust towards our fellow-subjects in India, and highly detrimental to the interests of the East India Com pany—not only as a Commercial Body, but in connection with the prosperity of the dominions placed under their Government. "That " as the inhabitants of British India have the strongest claims on the protection of the East India Company, it is the duty of this Court to afford their energetic support to all mea sures that have a tendency to promote the prosperity of the vast population over whom they preside, and who are equally en titled with every other class of British subjects to the favourable consideration of the British Legislature. " That it•appears to this Court, that since the repeal by the Acts of last Session of Parliament of the restrictions formerly imposed or. the West India Trade, no pretension exists for any exclusive protection to the Sugars of the West India Colonies against those of British India. " That as the present unequal duties on the Sugars of the East and West Indies terminate' in March 1824, this Court do earnestly recommend to the immediate attention of the Court •ef Directors the necessity of using their strenuous efforts with his Majesties Ministers to obtain an equalization of the said Duties. " That should these efforts prove unsuccessful, contrary to the just expectations of this Court, the Court of Directors be requested and enjoined to present Petitions, in the name and on behalf of the East India Company, to both Ifouses of Par liament, praying for an Equalization of the Duties on East and West India Sugars, and for permission to be heard by Counsel before the Two Houses of Parliament respectively, in support of their claims.

NATIONAL DEBT REDUCTION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, on the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the National Debt Reduction Bill, and observed that he should shortly endeavour to prove that the House ought to concur in adopting the principle of the Bill. It was not his intention to enter into a long dis- : cussion upon the question. The subject of the National Debt,: as connected with a Sinking Fund, had been frequently before. Parliament. The Noble Earl knew that doubts had arisen ; he might, however, say, that having been called.by the duty, of the situation he held to attend to the subject, and having' given it all the attention in his power, he had never seen any . reason to alter the opinion he had formed on the expediency, of the Sinking Fund. The principle was first adopted in .170 f and 1792, but during the war it was found expedient not to, carry into effect the provisions of the Acts upon the sub-: ject. No person could be surprised that in a war which lasted , 22 years, carried on upon a scale of expenditure unparalleled, the Government should fail in the enjoyment of all the benefit', to be derived from the principle of a Sinking Fund. Without entering into the question of the policy or expediency of the war, he might say no person under the circumstances of that war, could expect to carry the principle of a Sinking Fund to the fall extent. It was true those principles had not been car rled into execution to the extent they would Italie been under different circumstances, but notwithstanding all he had heard from high authority in the way of 'objection to the measure,. be was still convinced that this country owed its means of car rying on the late wars, to the endeavour made, to give effect to the important principles of a Sinking Fund. It had been thought desirable to ascertain what was the state of the. Country and the Revenue before Parliament should Come to any settled system. lie was ready to admit that the only real Sinking Fund in time of peace was a clear excess of income over the expenditure. In time of war different considerations might apply, like those on which the Act of 1792 had ori gMally passed. He knew that various opinions previiled on the subject. Some maintained that a Sinking Fund was wise in time of peace, but not in time of war. Others considered it of much greater Importance in war than during peace, With out entering into the merits of those separate questions,_ lie fully admitted the great advantage of having a real Sinking Fund during peace, consisting of an excess of Revenue taken, not on the produce of one single year, but on a fair average of several years. In the year 11119 the House of Commons had passed a series of Resolutions on which certain measures of taxation .had been adopted, which formed the basis of the Bill before their Lordships. Those Resolutions de. dared, that after . looking ' at all the circumstances of the country, it was expedient that there should be a clear. Sinking Fund to be applied to the liquidation of the Na tional Debt, of not less than five millions; - that it should be allowed to accumulate till it should amount to one himdredth part of the debt ; and that when it should reach eight millions, it would be for Parliament to consider whether it would not be stifficient, and whether the surplus should not be applied to the relief of the country from taxation. It had also been re. solVed, that it would be desirable, that a new arrangement should be accompanied by a simplification of accounts • that they should be fairly balanced, and that it should be settled by a new Act what the sinking Fund really was and ought to be. This arrangement had unavoidably been delayed till now, and was proposed to be carried into effect by the pre sent Bill, the object of which was to establish a :;inking Fund of five millions, which should accumulate till , they amounted to one-hundredth part of the National Debt, when the Surplus should he applied to the :relief of the public from taxation. This year there was a Surplus of 7,200,001. and the line of policy in some degree already sanctioned by their Lordships, had been to repeal texes to the amount of two millions two hundred thousand pounds, end to form a Sinking Fund of the remaining five millions, according to the Resolu. thins of 1019. After having read almost all that bad been writ ten on the subject in print and in manuscript, and having heard the sentiments of the men best lie to form a right „ judgment, his opinion was made up as to t to propriety of mainteinhig it Sinking Fund. Adherence to it was absolutely necessary, un less it could be supposed that this country should never be compelled to engage in war again. However desirous annum be to remain in a state of peace as long as it should be consistent with the honour and safety of the country, it must be evident to ever y one, that any system of policy not grounded on the pot. sibility of future wars, must rest on a rotten foundation, and must prove a most likely cause of the rise of such wars. Future events could not be expected to differ much from the past.— They mutt consist of an alteration of war and peace, and What woun be,the situation of this country if it always in. creased its debt in time of war, and never dinunished it in time of peace ? Shell a course must terminate in her ruin. It would not be effernal by the first, the second, or the third war, but it mast eventually leas to a complete change of property...,- Every man of common sense must see that if the supplies could not be raised within the year during the war, some pre. vision must be made to clear away the Debt in tune of peace. With all the experience which he had acquired during the last thirty years which he had been in Parliament, and after taking every minute view of the subject, he must support the principle ,of a Sinking hind; not certainly of an indefinite one, ter beyond a certain amount, it might be attended with evils; ,bat a Sinking Fund restricted to a limited extent, would, he was convinced, be productive of great advantages both in peaCe and war. It had been a consideration whether war impover ished a country ; but that consideration was not true as far as it related to England.' Never had she been impoverished by any war in which' she had possessed the command of the sea. If a country became the seat of war, it might be impoverished whilst it lasted ; but looking at our maritime superiority it was an undoubted fact that this country had been enriched by war. Her wealth in every branch had encrensed to an enormous ex.: tent, not only during the last war, but in that of 1750 ; and whenever she had enjoyed a maritime superiority. For war acted as a mighty stimulus, creating artificial markets and arti ficial expenses. But when he said that he did not mean to assert that wars were not calamities; he einisidered them as such, on the contrary, because of the great changes and revolutions whiCh they produced in property in proportion to their own extent., For there was not merely a change from peace to war, but after wards one from war to peace, and in the course of the last con test it had been seen that the property of the Fundholders bad been diminished nearly one-half. This might be partly as cribed to the measure by which the Bank stopped cash-pay, meats ; hut he thought it would hove happened to nearly the mune extent, if that measure had not been adopted. Their Lordships had also seen Agriculture make, during the last was', such strides as it had never made before, and rents rise to an elevation *filch they had never previously attained. They had since beheld the retro-active principle in full force, a n d t he Value of landed property diminish. He considered a permanent sinking fund, to a definite extent, and likely to be maintained, a most important measure to prevent the diflienlties and dangers of those alterations from peace tower. Supposing that a sinking fund existed, of sufficient magnitude to carry on the expellees 'of an ordinary war ; the result would be, that the breaking cut of such a war would be 'attended with no new loans—no new taxes, and no change of property. If this were true of a sink. ing fund to that extent, it would be equally true to whatever extent that sinking feria might eitist ; for it must have the effect of proportionably diminishing; the evils of those alterations froth war to peace. It bad been recommended by the oppo nents of that system that five millions of taxes should be taken off during petite, and laid on again, if a new war abolild arise. But this. course would encrease the evils of the alternation, whilst much good must be produeed by a Sinking Fund, which would reduce the debt in time of peace, and in time of ;war would lighten its charges. He would not wish, hoWever, that it should be carried to an indefinite extent e on.nceount of the injurious effect which it might have on the capital of the coun. try; and because, if carried so far, it would be less likely to remain sacred in time of war, whilst if it were smaller, it would be safer. That was in tact the original principle . on which a Sinking Fund had been established by 111 r. Pitt. It was in tended that it shatild'accumulate till it Wrenched four mil lions, and then to stop, Now five millione was the Sum fixed TO LINEN DRAPERS.

GIT.IIEUT, with othet Mem. hers from the Commons, brought up two Roads' Bill. The Bills on the table were forwarded in - the different stages. 17 THE KING'S Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he understood the third reading of the Bill respecting his illajesty's property, was fixed for Monday. Having a question to submit relating to the Royal Library he should •on Alonday, which be considered a convenient day, bring that subject before the house. APPEALS. The Earl of DARNLEY called the attention of the House, and particularly the attention of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, to papers which he held in his hand respect. ing the Appeals. It appeared that 2211 appeals causes on their table, remain undecided. He gave credit to the Noble and Learned Lord for diligence, but he thought it was impassible for the Noble and Learned Lord to get rid of the arrear in less than seven years. In the yar 1821, 3(1 causes were de cided. In 1022,35 ; and proceeding in the same ratio, it would take seven years to pet rid of the excetec Under the present state of their judicia business he might ask what hope the subjects of this country could have of obtainingjustice. It was impossible without some . measure was adopted of a remedial description that justice could be done. The Noble Earl oh: served by the returns on the table, that th e appeals f rom s cot , land were five to one, compared with those of England. To get rid of the superabundance of produce-4A laugh.).--from that part of the United Kingdom, something must be done. He considered the subject orgreat importance, and expressed a hope that the Noble and Learned Lord would bring the ques. tion under consideration. er t s ent t i o on w a h f i t c the after the. O re l an lai t ? al it d on the w t a h s 6 h ta lta is b p in le in consequence Noblerlh e Earl Ear had of L a l I I V u dEe himself(lPlfy 3e of a motion made by recess to bring the subject before the Howie. He did not wish to discuss the matter on that ocamion, but their Lordships must be aware that in 1813 the subject came under their considera tion. , The House came to a resolution to sit three times a week for the purpose of getting rid of the arrear of Aoe u l s . The Muse and the Noble Lord on the Weolsaek dui their duly, yet sorry he was to say, that the evil', i nstea d o f b e i ng diminished, had been aggravated. Important however, as the question of arrear might be, it was small with re f e r ence to • another view of the subject: They had heard of delay in Chancery. It way frequently said, that suits did net go on with sufficient dispatch ; but however • that might be, the who Chancellor would i lecatiseoftheevil wi:ve time o disc s the increase of Appeal's in that House. If they wo u ld get rilett'tberaortge the Scotch Appeal;, Lord important duties of the Court. The Noble Earl had truly stated that the Scotch Appeals were as five to one. - From the nature of Scotch Law, the time taken to decide their causes exceeded the-time necessary for English or Irish Appeals. He should feel it his duty to bring the question forward in or d er to h ave some arrangement made. They could not get rid of the din. eulty without making some alteration, which would put the business of the Court of Chancery and the judicial beanies* of that House in a way to avoid delay. Early after the - ; — leitiVi " c'. - 4 '' ....... 0 PRICE SEVENPENCE by Parliament ; the present measure therefore was a return sus the original principle on which that Fund had. been established and would add to the force and security of the country., 7 -lie had already said that there was an excu.se of income of seven Millions two hundred thousand pounds this yea; and that after the remission of 2,000,000/. of taxes,.theie would bes Sinking Fund of hell five millions. He knew that a differende of ale.- Mon prevailed on the subject in consequence of the measure adopted last year for the payment of dead, money, but the an nuity having been sold, no doubt could remain.of the existence of an excites over the expenditure, such as had been rein rented. It had been said that instead of •lotikieg eolely .to re duce the magnitude of the Debt, Parliament ought aleo to look to the internal state. of the country, and to the advanteges which might arise from the extension of ampler relief. Vied that object been entirely hv•erlooked, there. would certainly he just cause for blame, but what had been done with respect 0' the remission of taxes ? . Why in the seem years which bad elapsed since 1810, allowing for the insposes , which had been re-enactedeenot less than twenty-two millions of taxes per ;um. had been remitted, or one-third of what was the whole taxation of the country during the latter years of the war. Let their Lord-. ships estimate the reduction .of rents' as high as they .pleased, they would find that it had been exceeded by the reduction, whistle had been effected in the taxes. It was highly gratifying to , tind that all branchee of our. manufacturing and commercial iuthis try were recovering, or had recovered, from the difficulties in which they had been involved, and that at nd period had they been in a more flourishing condition. For though their profits were now snore moderate than they had been in time of war, they were on that account safer: They were no longer the result of hazardous speculations, but that of direct dealings, which were carried on to an extent which had never existed before. Ile was aware of the difficulties into 'which agriculture had been thrown, and did not mean to say that they were at an end but it was the opinion of all those who had the. best means of information and of judging, that agriculture wag now in a State of progressive improvement. Under all these circum stances, it was clear that the country could safely maintain the principle of a Sinking , Fund to avert the calamity of an excel. me increase of debt in time of war. It was this country who had first set to for e ign po wers th e exam pl e o f a Sinking Fund. She had maintained it sunder all her Authorities and Anntiniee tratlons, under Mr:Fox as well as under Mr. Pitt 4:and should she be the first to abandon an Institution productive of so malty advantages ? The object of the present Bill was to simplify the measure, to confine it within bounds, and to establish an en tirely new system, combined with important reductions of taxa tion, principally in the Assessed Taxes, the benefit of which went immediately to the pockets of the payers instead of reach ing them through a circ u it ous route . lie thought, therefore, that he might congratulate the House and the country on its having at last attained a condition-in Which it could look its finencialsystem fairly in the face. The Marquis of 14ANSDOWN did not intend to follow the Noble Earl through all the topics which he had embraced, as he approved of the object Of the Bill, and could not refuse his consent- to a eneasure which proceeded to simplify the sys , tem of the Sinking Fund by placing ft on ia right foundation. the 'excess of incom e ov er ex p en di ture . Indeed it was he who first, some years ago, had proposed to the Noble Earl to get rid of the cumbersome machinery which remained of the old Sink, ing , Fund, after its substance had gone. That suggestion had then been rejected ; hut he had now the satisfaction of seeing the Noble Earl propose a Bill to remove the whole of that ma chinery, and to place the Sinking Fund on its only true, :ode, and intelligible basis. Ile therefore wholly agreed in the grin- ciple of that Bill No tardily brought in. But he had to com plain, that, as if by some fatality, delusion was always to be mixed up with the Sinking Fund. In the very preamble in which it was declared to be expedient • and fitting to relieve posterity to the amount of five millions a-yea; it was also prod fessed that five millions were disposable for that pm postnwhilet the real disposable sum didnot exceed three millions. For it bad been admitted by a high authority elsewhere, width Would not be questioned in that House, that the present expenditure of the country was 47,000,0001. and its income 50,000,000/. The Noble Earl said, that in conseqUence Of the operation of a measure adopted last year, which he (the Marquis of Lansdowne could only consider as an attempt to delude, a large excess of income had taken place. But at whose expence had that excess taken place ? At the expense of that very posterity which, it was atbnitted, ought to be relieved to the extent of five millions a year, but front which two whole millions were withdrawn. Andhow was that done ? Six months after the Noble Earl held out to posterity the favourable prospect of the pensions of the dead money progressively falling in, a pros pect which the subsequent measure entirety destroyed. To that extent, therefore, the Bill still bore a c h aracter o f d e l us i on, from which he should endeavout to relieve it, .by proposing, either in the Committee or on the bringing np' the Report, that instead of five millions, three millions be inserted, as that was the real amount of the excess of income overexpenditure. He had beard with surprise that the Noble Earl considered a large Sinking Fund as the best guard against those great changes of property arising from the alternations of war and peace.. Dow could this doctrine be maintained after the example of the last thirty years, during which a greater Sinking Fund than the country would probably ever have again hail been in full operation, and yet in spite of that Sinking Funtla change of property had taken place, which could not 'have occurred M other countrietahort of a revolution ? lie admitted, how., ever, that great advantages would arise to a - country from the possession of a real Sinking Fund ; but he thought it should be an open question, whether it would he p re f era bl e in time Of peace to keep a Sinking* Fund, or to make a large re. mission of taxation to the people. Ile must own that he would go ionic way for the purpose of raising a Sinking Fond. Without anticipating any discussion which Might afterwarthe arise on the subject, he could not exclude front his considera tion that there now was a greater probability of war than in former years, seeing that this country was placed at the mercy of events. This situation rendered hint the more desirous that she should be furnished with an excess of income, nl would prevent him from objecting to the Bill, The Noble Earl hail congratulated the country on the litrge remise seen of taxes which had taken place, and yet he and his col. leagues had hitherto maintained that taxation was no cause, of the distress of the people. But the strongest proof that itillinata produced theme distresses, wait the fact that the only remedy yet applied to them by his Majesty's Ministers; was a, remission of taxes. The Noble Earl had said that 21 millions of taxes had been taken off since the war ; but the reason why they had been taken off was, that they could not have been paid. He admitted that 60 whole taxation had thus been reduced one third ; but there had been a still greater reduction of tax.. able matter. Many of those taxes which hail been repealed, had also been obstinately defended by the Noble Earl anti his Colleagues. Did he not now rejoice that his resistance had proved unavailing? Two attempts had been Made to abolish. the Salt Tax ; the first had been defeated by a nutjetrityltf 9, the second by one of only 6. The Mintsters had then come and propdsed to glee it up: the whole country was alive to it* repeal, and it was boasted of as one of the blessings of their administration. He re l leiced, that notwithstanding the sugges tions. which had bisect from certain quarters, Parliament had shown a determination to adhere strictly to considerations of public faith, and should deeply regret to see arty attempt made to obtain relief by sacrificing the interest* of any parti cu la r class. He should not oppose the House going into a Committee, but should reserve to himself the right of proposing the reduction' Which hr had mentioned.
