What bad passed since the measure had ,been.last en,teted, however remotely connected with the subjected, had foteitii.ll . his opinion in favour of the Bill. God forbid dint in country like this every individual should net have the rigZir of exercising his judgment as to the contests going du in the world, hut it was neither just nor justifiable that when this country was neutral, a portion of her people el:tail,' h.: at war, and should take part either With the Governine:,ts or the subjects of other States. If such thias liitely existed, it Was an - addition al r eason wh y England 'should not place herself in a situation in whiCs, not only her own . subjects, but those of other ct faith towards • otheries, should conspire. could against. her peace: Pea oun c e and. good rs not be maintained, unless the means of putting down machinations . shouldbe granted. If his Majesty's Ministers consulted their own ease, they would- rather refuse than demand such a power, for. it only served, to involve them ; ill difilcultieS; but if in. parting with it .they shoul d part Itch the means of preventing machinations, t h e y would do that whi c h would be highly dangerous to the country. A . Oovildon had been. introduced into the present Bill, w hldtd away the only: substantial objection -whit:), inNtsure, by -enacting that .Aliens who. hail come 4 P I P 41.4 .eoalAi,+!)ed trades or professions, and resided seven ycaps in this, country, should ,be exempted from its *ration. • The .Noble Earl concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time. Esri GROSVENOR admitted . that. he had once .been in duced by the representations of the. Government of that period to think that the peace of Europe could not be consolidated ; without such a measure as the Alien Bill. But the circum stances which then- rendered it 'necessary no longer existed; whilst its unconstitutionality remained. The danger no longer threatened Kings, it was all the other way, and he could no longer addion give r reason o a n ss f e o n r t it t i %a v r n 6 4 , 045 , roef ito f4l s , u , s t tt description. see inf d like An truckling to the Ministers and Governments o f other countries. . . . . of these obtained this blesssing by means of Alien Bills. Bor. he (Lord Holland) saw the answer. which the Noble Earl- op posite (Earl of Livettesal) would . give to these arguments, namely, that the Bill before the House was only to prevent Machinations against Foreign States. . : But on this ground why nut' act against subjects of this conntry as well • as . against aliens ? In short; instead of the Bill being likely to preserre peace, he thought it tended to embroil us with Foreign Statis.s, After some further observations, the Noble Lord concluder; by expressing a sincere hope that this would hi the last tune a measure of this sort should ever find its way into that'llouse ; and. in the words of a great Poet and Satestorin, that Esg land would be left what by nature it was designed., The 'coalmen refuge of mankind." The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to explain.. He had that morning referred to, some of the sp e eCh e s whi c h he was ported to have • made upon this subject on former occasions, and he loundhe had always supported it on the same ground:- as at present. The Noble Earl then read some further ex tracts from the correspondence between liiniself . and the French. Government in. 13111, Which had been alluded to by the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Holland). The dispatchstated that the British • Government could never consent to send any indivi dual out of the 'country for publishing his opinions, but that if it was considered fit to do so, might be instituted by the French Government, or on a suftieient case being made out; the At . torney-General would be directed to commence proeeedings.— A further demand was also nuttle to send the Emigtants out of ; England, and the fact that the . Pretender was, at the instiga ...t.E.PF,4,..of this country, sent out of France, was used as• a 'efeeedeet to - enforce .compliance. In reply to the latter, the dispateh`fulther stated, that the two cases were not ana lagouS---that James the Second;eafter he had abdicated the throne of England, was suffered to remain in Paris till he died in the midst of e his adherents; and that the demand to. re. move the Pretender from Fiance was only made in conformity with'it specific article in the. Treaty of Utrecht, by.which Louis XIV. bound himself not to allow that person to reside or re main in his 'dominions. With respect to certain Bishops who were alleged to have distributed seditious writings on the coast of France, it .was - replied that some proof beyond a mere alle gation was necessary before the Government 'could think of subjecting those individuals to the operation of the Alien Bill ; but that, if machinations wee proved to have been employed against the French Government, the . persons giiilty should be sent out of the country as soon as required. The LORD CHANCELLOR would not detain - their Lord-. ships but a very short time while he noticed the observations of the Noble Lord (Holland), who represented the present Bill to be supported on very (Efferent principles from that which he . kthe Lord Chancellor) had introuuced into the other House of Parliament in 1792. He would beg leaye to remark that the measures also were verydifferent in their nature, and wefe suited to the different circumstances of the two periods. The Act of 1792 regulated the residence of Aliens, and prohibited their arrival in this country, besides containing many other provisions proportioned to the danger whiCh was then appre hended. The latter Alien Acts could not, therefbre, on any principle be compared to the Bill of 1792. A Noble Earl, now •in the [louse (Earl Grosvenor), had called the present Bill unconstitutional. AlI he (the Lord Chancellor, 'could say on this point was, that the Crown possessed the right to . send Aliens that endangered the peace of the nation out of the realm, although not without a troublesome process. He, therefore, thought it perfectlY consistent with the Constitution, that Par liament should aid his Majesty in exercising this prerogative, and the Bill before their Lordships only went to effect that object. 7 3 ___. , AIIMY PAY-OFFICE, WHITEHALL, LONDON, May 6, 1894.

THE CASE OF.THE PROPRIETORS AND LESSEES OF SALT WORKS OF SCOTLAND. • 51 iOs C 4 21 14 °4l Previous to the Union between England and Scotland, the Salt-owners of the latter had the entire supply of their Own country, and - the continuance of the Salt Trade of Scotland was considered an object -of so great importance, as t o f orm a se parate Article of the Treaty. The ScOttish Salt Manufacttirers would have been ruined by the Union, had a free trade in Salt, upon equal - duties, hem established between the two countries; but the, interests of the Seottish Salt-owners were then carefully protected, and, after much anxious discussion between the CominisSioners of the respective Kingdoms, relief was 'affOrded, first by a temporary , measure for seven years, and then the following permanent ex emption was secured to Scotland by the Bth Article of the Treaty of Union : " With this exception, that Scotland shall, after the " said seven years, remain exempted from the duty of 2s. 4d. a " bushel on Home Salt, imposed by an act made in England " in the 9th and 10th of King William the Third of - England." Agreeably to the spirit of this Treaty, nearly the same pro portion • (as three to ten)" of duty has been preserved to Scot land by subsequent acts, increasing the duties, until the late alterations in the Salt Laws. It may be proper to take notice of the causes that rendered the above exemption necessary. It is well known that there are - no salt-Springs or,rock.:Salt in Scotland ; and the Salt made from the springs or rook-salt in Eughind can be prepared and sent to market at less thin - one- half of - the expence at which Salt can be made from .sett-V - i4ter. In England, the average return of Salt from the brine springs and water saturated ' with rock-salt is from 22 tO 25 per cent. ; and the Small consumption of only about one ton of fuel is re quired to manufacture from two to three - tons of Salt ; whereas, in Scotland, the only raw material is' sea-water, from which . Salt is extracted by evaporation, after an expensive prOcess ; a o n f tl s o a n it e i l o iu r n t d h r r e e d e p to e i r as' ce o n f t s . r 4 - , n s d at t e o r Will only produce three tons evaporate that quantity an expenditure of twenty-four tons of foc i is r e q uired, or ei gh t tons of s m a ll c o a l s for one ton of 'Salt: But the total repeal of the Salt Tax, if carried into *effect, will likewis e b e i n a -hi g h degreedetrimental to the Coal-works in Scotland. From; the nature of the coal-in SCotland, the large picces only are fit for common use,' or can be sent to market, at ti'die great proportion of smakcolls, (unavoidably occasioned by the ivork ing)"not being, as in England, of a caking quality, is unfit for any;other use, except in the manufacture of Marine Salt, and, to a small extent, in the burning of lime and bricks. The great consumption of coals in the manufacture. of Salt forms a considerable sburce of profit to many - of the colleries in Scotland; and from the encouragement and protection of legis lative enactments for above a century, large capitals have been sunk in erecting Salt-works, winning fields of coal, and making iron railways and roadsfrom thence to the Salt.:pans. Coal anti Salt-works, thus necessarily connected, are generally possessed, by the same Proprietor or Lessee." If; therefore, the duty on Salt in England be wholly repealed, and . I'.n . ..;lishSidt`d:llowed• to be imported into Scotland'free from any, restriction ; the im mediate conSequenee must be a total stop to theananufacture of Marine Salt in Scotland—an entire abaneronthenf„ in many in stances, of the collieries connected with the S:'tft a works, and those that are continued to be worked would be rendered in` a great measure unprofitable ; also the capitals sunk in iron -rail ways and other improvements would be loSt, and many'of the numerous families, depending upon the Coal and Batt-works for subsistence, would be thrown idle, anti left in a very desti tute situation because, from their habits of, lfe 1)4;4 : f armed, they are almost unfit for any other employmerit.-r - Much has of late been said about the adviontageS"that - will ac crue to agriculture by the use of Salt in the feeding of cattle, , horses, &c., and its application as a manure.. Various-expe riments hive been made in Scotland with Salt for these pur poses, and in particular on an extensive scale, without success, by that eminent agriculturist, Mr. Rennie of Phantassie, who sent a full report of his whole proceedings to the Board of Agri culture in London in May 1820. In conclusion, it may be proper to state, that the Doty on Salt is collected at a very small expence, compared with almost any other. tax ; it is understood at about 3 percent., while some others exceed 15 per cent: ; and the Duty on - English Salt being at present less than one halfpenny per pouted; even if it were re pealed; the price of small quantities old by retail could not be proportionally reduced, so that the poor would reap hardly any advantage from a measure intended - chiefly for their relief. The MarqUis of LANSDOWN, in presenting a Petition from the Gentlemen, Land-owners, Merchants, Boat-ownev4, Fishermen and Inhabitants of the town of Balbriggan, in the county -of Dublin, against removing the bounties on the Fisheries, said he was as great an .enemy to bounties as any man, and he congratulated his Majesty's - Ministers on the steps. they had recently ta/ten to-. remove them. There was, however, great difference between granting bounties and sud denly removing them after they had been granted; and the time for removing the bounties on the fisheries might probably be postponed till the same period as the Linen bounties. On the Petition being read, it was discovered to be informal, and the Petition was withdrawn. ei n, 21 Di 4 5e I,' Cid 10 5 I 05 v.- A 6 s ‘,;71 It- was said that no case of abuse in the execution of the mea sure had been alleged, but the measure itself wax a general 3; Os )I 0 141 The Marquis of — LS.N --; SDOWN then presented a Petition from the Linen Manufacturers of Dublin, praying their Lord ships to take into their consideration the laws relative to the importation of Linen Yarn; as the removal of the bounties on manufactured linen laid them under considerable' disadvan tages as long as there were duties on the importation of Foreign linen yarn. el ItotJA BS9 .

It was from the laird'lllayor, Aldermen, and Common- Coancil of time City of London, and it prayed that the Bill- respecting Aliens, which had come down from the other House of Parliament might not pass into a law. The petitioners stated that when any danger was apprehended to the country, they had not approached their liorchthips . with a similar prayer, but not only did they think that Mi such danger now existed, but apprehended very serious danger from the measure itself, a being. likely to invelVe the country in•war.

On Monday a very numerous and highly respectable Meet , ing was held at the City of London Tavern, of the supporters of the Society for Promoting Religious Ins truction to te Seamen of the Port of London, Lord Gastniun, was in the Chair.' His Lordship stated the objects of the Meeting, and after an aPpro priateTrayer the Report of the Committee was read, in which contained many interesting details of the good effects produced upon Seamen by the Floating Chapel in the Thames—by the distribution of Religious Books and Tracts among Sailors — and by other means adopted by the Society.—The Report was received with universal aprrobation. Several Gentlemen ad dressed the Meeting in at 'speeches, and - appropriate Resolutions were agreed to, • The Earl - of LIVERPOOL, rose to move the Order of the beenny f , o o r o t f h t e e n second r reading ihciri,o o rd h f the Alien Bill. The subject had ps consideration,. that it-would be hardly n e cessar y fo r him to enter into any details. He must say, however; that far from agre ei n g with the . individuals petition haLj a u s s u t r b e e i en lLteenivoctlri,gtilniaaitiy introduced werethe circumstances ''h°s nudes e which necessity. When b out thett the subject right had the ) so changed that it was no l onger requ i s i te; the circumstances. of under which its continuan ce wits propose d conv i nce d hi m o f i ts before, the commonmuc h hadbeen said a law to remove aliens from t h e country, but h e h a d never h ear d any arguments which in his judgmelit established that right uF.der the common-law in a satisfactory manner. For although been Crown discussed under the right existed in the Crown,. it could not be exercised, except in such a cumbrous and circuitous way as rendered it nearly in effeetnal.—lt could only be done by an order to the alien to leave the country, followed up by an indictment if he.should refuse to obey the order. It was on account of. the cir cuitous nature of the proceedings that the Alien Bill lisd been introduced in 1792. It had been introduced, he .must re mark, not -in time of war but of peace, and when an .anxious desire existed in the Government of the country to avoid a war if possible. It had been intended- by the measure- to , guard against the admission and danger of revolutionary principlea, and the Bill had been continued after France had engaged in the war against this country, for that purpose. For it was not - I necessary against the subjects of France, as, he contended, that in time of war the Crown possessed the power not only to send away, but to make prisoners of alien enemies.' The question however, was not now whether Parliament had done right to adopt the Bill in 1702, but whether it would do right to adoptit in 1924, and lie admitted that if he did not give sufficient reasons to prove that it would be right, their Lordships would be fully justified in rejecting it. He should ccPimence by declaring that the measure had not beep introduced Out of any desire • to conciliate the favour of any Foreign Power. It was a wholly British measure, for British objects; and for British interests. We had lived and were still living in times when there existed a great rage for political experiments of all kinds. We had seen revo lutions taking place in all countries around us, and growing out of the opinions whiCli had been propagated throughout the world within our own memory, and which had a tendency to affect' even those countries where there had been no revolu tions. Indeed; it had been admitted by a Noble Friend of his, the Noble Baron opposite (Lord Holland), that there was at present a contest for Political Reform similar to that which had occured 200 years ago for Religious Reform, and that Noble Lord had wished that we should place ourselves at the head of the-one as we had done at the head of the other. If; after a war of 21 years, and all the dangers arising from revo lutions, he .wag one of those who thought it a duty to protect the peace of his Country, he was not ashamed of such sentiments. He might quote on that subject the opinion, not of the suppos ed advodates of : Ultra doctrines, but of the supporter; of the most liberal principles themselYes. Ile remembered well a Rt. 'Hon. Gentleman - to whom the Noble Lord opposite would pay due respect, making this remarkable quotation more than once when speaking of the revolutionary movement taking place : inquis:tim am pacem justi into beilo reim He woul not however, deny that if r evolutions were p prOd l uctive of evils, bad Governments might be still worse than revolutions. He de precated all interference in the national concerns of others; and . he had no hesitation in saying, that no one was more dis posed than lie, to COndenin the measures adopted by Foreign! Powers, because. they res ted on general principles, which might be made to tell equally for opposite Sides. When -a ge neral principle was laid down , be it on the side of freedom, or 'On that of despotism, it . was equally dangerous to the peace of mankind, There was no safety in those .general . principles. Every country most .fudge of its own government, and its justification must rest on the special case, and not on general principles. i,Ve lived in times in which we• saw many experiments made for revolution s in other countries ;.in come cifses they might be right, in others they might be wrong, but our duty was to look at our own internal peace. In every instance in which revolutions had taken place since 1792, the conquered party had sought refuge in this coun try. He should be the last to deny such fugitives the rights arhospitality, ari d he would. say that no demand had never been 'made by any Foreign Government to that effect, except in' 1802, when it was directed against the French Royalists. He was convinced that Spaniard,, Frenchman, abuse. Earl DARNLEY considered the continuance of such a measure under present circumstances disgraceful to the ,coun try. - If he had not been misinformed, it was not the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to propose its farther renewal after the present should have expired. He trusted the-Noble Earl opposite would give some explanation on the subject. Might not he and his Colleagues take upon themselves the responsi bility-of removing a few dangerous fellows (if such were lbs. covered in this country) without having recourse to a 8111 which verified the charge of the Roman Po - et :—" Britt:mum hospitlbusfrros" Lord CA LTHORPE consented to support the measure, in consequence of the liberal policy which, had latterly been' adopted by his Majesty's Ministers, and of the publis, declara tion made by the Right Hon.. Secretary for Foreign Affairs six months ago, that it was the determination of this country to pursue British objects independently, and without any re gard to the wishes of other Powers. The EarPof CA RNARVON had expected to hear from the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Treasury, that the grounds on which the Bill wus founded were so reduced by cir cumstances that it would probably be the last time that it should be proposed; he had therefore been much surprised-to find that those grounds were stronger fbr it now than before. There was something in the present Bill which sayoured mere of com promise than of a well digested measure. Much stress was laid on the exemption from its operations of aliens who had resided continually seven years in this country, but if they had spent a few days of those seven -years on- the Continent, how would they be affected by the 'Bill ? If they were to gain a settlement by marriage, why should they not by time ? and why should an alien woman be left exposied to the danger of being torn, -from her husband and children if she could not prove a .seven years' residence? Ile trusted that his Majasty'a Ministers would not suffer thes oueatioh to pass away without producing stronger grounds than they had done to justify their proposition. . . The Earl of WESTMORELAND thought the Bill before the House peculiarly necessary at the present time, and he `though it so on purely British grounds. He did not support the-measure with reference to the policy of other countries, but because the interests , and the peac,e of England required it.— Government, in his opinion, was responsible to other nations for the conduct of individuals who resided here, for he never could imagine how it wits possible for the Sovereign to be at peace and his subjects to lie at war with foreign States. It was necessary that Government should have the power of removing aliens for the purpose of preserving neutrality ; and as he wished England to be at all times a refuge fir foreigners, he considered the existence of the present law conducive to that result, by the check it imposed on their conduct. There had generally been about 20,000 aliens here, few or none of whom had offended—a result which might be in great part attributed to the silent operation of this law, and lie therethre thought, what proved productive of so ninth benefit ought not to be hastily abandoned. Lord HOLLAND entirely agreed with the Noble - Earl op posite (Lord Liverpool), that as the subject of the present Bill had been so frequently before their Lordship's, it was unneces-: sary to repeat the arguments which had so often been used in discussing it. He should not therefore trouble the House with the 'objections which he had for twenty years past been accustomed to urge against the measure. But when he considered the different grounds on which the Bill was now supported from those formerly employed in its defence, he could 'not help noticing the discrepancy in brief terms. - The origin of this Bill was in 1792 ; and let their Lordships look to the preamble of the Act then passed, and they would see the care that was taken to show the, necessity of the measure. It was that " Whereas a great and unusual number of Aliens had come into this country, and caused much danger to the public tranquility.'? How he would ask does much danger to the public tranquillity exist at the present from Aliens ? and the preamble he referred to proved that slight danger would not justify such an act of the Legislature. War afterwards took place, and the Bill continued, becauSc,las the Noble Earl said, though the Crown had the power to send away Alien enemies, its exer cise was cumbrous without the aid of this law. War again ceased in 1801, and the Bill still continued, but with a very altered and meager ,preamble. That period, however, was very different from the present. There were then many aliens 'here known to be hostile to the Government of France, which 'Government thought this country had too great a predeliction for their opinions. Writings too were published here by those aliens, recorrimenclima in no ambiguous terms, the assassinat i o n of the head of the } d rench Republic. M. Otto, the represen tative of that Government, in consequence applied to the Noble Earl opposite on the subject, and received from him an answer worthy of an English Minister. He was told that the tribunals of the country were open to him, and he might prosecute the parties complained of if he pleased. The French Minister, however, not satisfied with this reply, ad verted to the Alien Bill, and required it to be enforced against 'the individuals he pointed out. But what did the : Noble Earl? Ile that moment, became as hostile as the most warlike of his colleagues, and rejected the proposals with indignation. His Lordship here read Mr. Otto'S• note to the Earl-of ,Liverpool; and - an extract from the Noble Earl's reply. The latter stated . that nis Majesty never could nor would consent to shackle the liberty of the Press to suit the taste of Foreign Powers—and that with respect to the Alien Bill, the object of that law Was solely to prevent aliens from disturbing the public tranquillity of this country. The Earl of LIVERPOOL asked across the table if Lord Holland had the whole of the papers with him, whiCh referred to that transaction ? Lord HOLLAND replied in the negative., His Lordship then proceeded to say that upon the occasion•in question, the Noble Earl, .and .also a -Noble. Viscount then a. Secretary of State (Lord Sidniouth) showed -in a true British spirit, that this country was, not to be made (to use a phrase lgtely adopted), auxiliary to. Foreign, States, and he wished the .Noble Viscount would still , show the same diaposition with respect to the present Bill. The Noble Lord next adverted - to the argument' of. the Noble Privy Seal (Earl Westmorland), that the tendency of. the Alien Bill a was to preserve peace with other Powers; and argued at some length to hew that history did not support the assertion. The longest peace the country ever enjoyed was in the reign' of James the First, and at no period were Foreigners better received in England, or The i,F 3 :! more Englishmen on the Continent than at that time. Tfiee, three States of Europe, too, that had been long est at peone were Sv;itaerland, Holland,.-and the Papal See , and Yet Lord NEWRY obtained leave to bring in a Bill atifiibrising the Commissioners of Inland Navigation in Ireland, to raise money by mortgage upon the Tolls of the Neivry g3anal; for the purpose of carrying on the improvements in that work:' BEER DUTIES BILL.
