Every arse must be aware of the impressions which the supposed severities of the taw:made on the people of Ireland ; but be had no doubt but they would find that they had been misled by interested mis representations.

He contradicted the asset tion that the innocent would be punished with the guilty. and that the mairitettancta ot the police for the co,llec (ion, of taxes would fall upon the general re verie. The operations of the Bill would clearly distinguish between the innocent and the guilty; and if any deficiency arose from the maintenance of ,the civil authorities, it would tall ou the local revenue. and not am the general revellue.

NEW SOUTH WALES. On the motion of Mr. Gout.BunN, the 1-lonse f olved into a Co.uniiittee of the South $41 . :44e1 Dwirs. Mr. GouLßunt4 ob , erved, that the object lie hsit in view IV A 5 to introduce a Bill to indemnify the Gok trout- of New South Wales, for the ditties already -imposed in that Colony—to - continue those %tut ies tor a limited pet iod—and tit enable the Go vernor to itupuse a Duty on Spirits made in the Colony, in the event of any such being made. Mr. liii.NNBT ohjectrd to the general system of taxation intro.ducetl by the Governor of New South %Vales, without any other authority than his own gooti will and pieasure There was not an article in the Colony which was not taxed. He hoped that the limit of this taxation would be fixed at one year, and that the state of this colony would undergo an investigation early in the next Session. The House having resumed, the Report was brought up, and 'leave was given to bring in the NEW SOUTH WALES TRADE ACTS. The House resolved itself into a Committee on die above Acts. Mr. GoULBURN stated, that at present, vessels tinder 300 tons burden were' not allowed to trade South of the Cape of Good Hope. His object was to bring in a Bill to allow vessels under that tonnage to trade to New South Wales, as vessels of a small size were necessary to the traffic of that Colony.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER the Report of the Committee of Supply was received, and the Resolution for granting a sum of 6,:0001. was agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The Report , of the Ways and. Means Committee was brought op.—Upon the question being put upon the resolution of applying 244,892%, the surplus of last year, to the services of the present, Me. Hums made a few observations.—He de nied that there was in truth an actual surplus Of more than .500,0001, and that though these had been a nominal reduction of the funded debt, still there was no diminution in the interest upon the bolded and unfunded debt, taken together. He also complained, that very important documents, namely, the vatements of the reductions made in the last ten years, which should have been laid upou tile table in fourteen days after Parliament met, had beets tlelayerl to this moment, when the Session was 'so far advanced, &tad when tberewas no d uk e to look into them wich proper attention. He wished the Right H on. the chuncellor at the Exchequer would account for this delay. T•IieCHANCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said he was not prepared for a discussion spout the finances generally now. Sie could, 'however, from memory, and general knowledge of the state of the 'finances, give gigue answer. he would also, from the honourable Gentleman's own sh o wing, consince him that some reduction bad taken place. it appeared, that up to the sth of January lust there had been a reduction of the . Funded Debt of 28,0110,0001. of course the interest upon that ceased entirely, which might be estimated Ht 900,0001. Then, as to the Unfunded Debt, flout the purchaseof 3 per cents. in place ot 5 per cents, la reduction is as wade in that also of 800,0001. litre was au arrear due to the Bank upon Ex chequer Bills, which had trot been paid them, be they refused to exchange these Bills ; for the principle upon which interest is paid, presumes that the Bills bad been either given op or exchanged. But there had been a provision made by Parliament to inect the arrear of iz:lerCSt. 'then as to the delay of the sic:COM:VS Which Should have been laid upon the tattle, it was impossible, from the nature of the thing, that they could be forthcoming at the time propo,ed by the Act. it was true, they should have been made out on the sth of January last ; but Government Accounts not being closed until the 25th of March, they could not, until that period. be put into a condition to be laid before the House. There was one item of these, of 6,01)P1 , which it was complained was out pro vided for; but it would he seen, that provision had been twilit! to meet it in the appropriation of the taxes by Parliament. Mr. VIuME and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUFH mutually eNplained, after which the Resulo iion was agreed to.
