FITZPArRICA". that he' felt a great re. ,ptignance to tatting Up the time of the . liouN e in. any manner, but mast of all Upon a s ti ll e d in which he' was happy to hear, the. Right Hon. Gentle m an ex press .his -concurrence. Neither should he delay them now by stating the arguments with which he meant to support his propoial, but content himself with expreising a ,beliet that they were such ,as could not easily be answered. In chit ll.ouse he had heard no objection made to those clauses, ind what might li3VC been urged elsewhere Was' tin pa t lia., ,inentary ground teir getting rid of them. If the Wirers alluded to were, as probably smite o f t hem may, Menthers.:of this -1-lou4e i they would' no doubt state their obje4tion 4 in their places. At the same, time, he cotifc!“ed that, if called upon to bring for Ward his charges now, be should f e d him. sdf at a loss, for the Right lion Gentleman having himself promised to being them forward, he came I n a n tini,repared stare. But, as this Was only the sth of March, and the Bill would not expire:be ' tore the astir, he hoi'ed the'Right Hon, Gentleman wOuld consent to delay thethird.teadin for a couple of (Lys, he should be ready to s h ove the' clauses by way 'of riders in the Bill. Csione/ STUART wished also the third reading to be deferred, as he hoped that the, proposed clauses would he acceded, to. 1k thought theee'shouid a limitation to the punishments infliOed by Regi. mcntai Cootie Martial which ought not to have t h e power of sentencing to more than two hundred 1"1 C Tsai also'of opinion, that tli c o f nil 'Courts Martial should not consist of li'r , ,ltiall fi v e Field Geicots, or of seven if of Int 4 i4eti. h kuatp lank*.

Mr. WINDHAM wished to know .whether any inquiry 'had yet been' made respelling the inaccuracy of the Return of the number of men enlisted under. the Defence Aa in the county of Surrey ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that it was found, upon inquiry, that owing to an accidental mistake, the return of the men en. listed for that county, under the Defence/VI, was stated to be fifteen more than the adual amount, which was no more than fitly.five. Lord IV. RUSSELL said, he suipeded this num ber also to be erroneous.; for, at a late county meet. itig which he attended, the ,number stated was. only 14.. men. .1'44. CHANCELLOR If the EXCIIEQUER atjswered, that his information was drawn , from an examination made this morning at the ACCounts in the Office of the Inspector General. The Bill for imposing an Additional Duty upon Pleasure Horses was read a third time and passed: MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Lord MARSHiIItI reported from the Committee appointed to try the merits of a Petition complain. ing of an undue Eledion and Return for the County . 01 Middiebex : . . Ist. That G. B. MAINWARING, „Esq. was not duly eleded,"and ought not to have been returned a% a Representative for the said County in, Parlia. ment. , ad.

Whin tills Order of the Pay ;was read - for going into a . Committee - Ain the Salt Duty 130i,,ana the question put that the SyEnxtttt do leave the Chair ; Mr. JOHNSTONE said, he Could not sufizr such a Bill to pais withoUt entering his.pruteit against ir. Not wishing, however, to detain .the,attention of the blouse for any length of ,time,.lie should con. fine himself to one short, arguirept, relating to the operation of the. Salt Bill in Scotland; which, 'if: to. tally.repeall'd, he thought would be very beneficial •tO the:CcOtry. When the former additional Mit a ) , was laid oit, the Tax hi Scotland amounted to 6i. 64 a bushel.; but . as it, was found to he altogether un: orttluttiVe, it ,was shortly loivered to 4s. a bushel, He ,would then ask„, what teason there was to sup_ pose that Scotland, which was so lately declared un able to pay 41. should now be in a condition to pay a Tax of 9:..a bushel, to which the present addition would raise it ? The SECRETARY at WAR replied, that the reason why the former Duty had peen reduced in, Scotland, was,, that fuel was so much dearer and scarcer in that country than in England ; and ;I3 to the unprodudiveness of the Salt Revenue, it was very well known that it principally proceeded from the facility of smuggling from Ireland, agaiost which very great precautions were now pro. vided. The House - then divided, when the numbers were. Fur the Sr FAKER'S leaving the CILAir, 126 Against it, - Ski Majority , ' .. 70 ~ 'The. Bill then went through n; Committee, an d WO ordered to be reported to_movrow. . , PROPERTN"rAX: The Home having resolved itself into a Com mittee on this bill, Mr..A.r.exitNorta Chair; Earl TEMPLE said, it was his, ititnntion to tr“Aie a Clause for exempting Officers of a certain rank, and havitt no other dependence than their pay, from the operation of the Td s:. The CHANC ELP) of the EXC 11EqUE said, he should certainly object to a•Clanse whiQh would open a door for undermining the whole of the system. Sir JOHN NEWPORT adverted to the princi. pie of the Mt of Ijo3on between this Country and Leland, which established that each country should keep its own separate resources applicable to its own separate purposes. In respel to landed pro. petty; the rule was to take the amount of• the .tax here, though the proprietors of the funded money , should be absent in another country. his tax went upon the principle of that upon i n c ome , an d ex . empted foreigners from the payment of tax upon whatever property they might have in the-English funds. it such encouragement to deposit their ney in, our funds was held out to foreigners, he did not see why the same encouragement should not be given to the people of Ireland ? Irish proprietors, resident at home, were obliged to pay severe taxes to which they would not be liable if resident in this Country and fur that reason he should moye; that, in the exemption, to pets ns 'not Subjeas of Great Britain, should be added the words, " nt.r to any Subjea contributing to the flearth.muncy and ‘Vi n dow Taxes in Ireland." Mr. ; ALEX AN DER (C;thirman of the C , :thinit. tee) acquainted him l dial, in the preettt st.tav, hi s Motion wail inform-it. Sir JOHN NEIPPORT replied, th►tt he. had mentioned thii subject in an earlier stage, and wits then told, that the proper time lor.mak lug his IYlc . tion woold..he in the Committee. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCIII.QUER said, this' was not a r:neWal of the I nncutite Lax, b ut a Measure' which added to it new duties under the satne re , gulations : but he. could not withhold the cxpresston, of his, astonishment at the Finn. B AW . net's drawing an argument in favour of his prop°. 4,41, from the principle of the AA of Union., which was, that-the two Countries should sink 61 swim to ht r; The, principle of the Hon, Bart. on the ctintrary was, that when a-tax was proposed fior rneral Support of,the Empire, the.English.Proprie. eur.w , l4 to pay it, and the Irish Proptietoi ex: coped. It would be just as fair to ctintend, that if ax was propose. _ Proprietors resident in — England should be exerapm,' from the payment of it. . Sir jo . pN NI , wroar then expressed his deterini,- nation to move for the Re peal of the Exemp tion to .Foreigners, if it should not be equally ex tended to the People of IrelanJ. Mr. BANICES bruught‘up a Clause to exempt fro m pt fro the Payment -of thir'Tax all Lands, Mo nr Y , or , other Property, vested in Trustees for the Use O Almshou-,ti, or other charitable purposes only. „ 1 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUE's said, that he should shortly have occasion to nu" for leayi to bring in another Bill, relati n g to ' eV ' lotions, which would give his Hon, Friend ' lt ' c ° l l : e .portuffity of submitting This exemption ; but, h thought pioper to offer it now, he did n ot suPP°l4 it would meet with any opposition. ' , , The Clause was then brought up and aro t°' and the Bill, having passed the Commi ttee, was dered to be reported to-Morrow.
