The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the whole House to go into a Commi•tee of Supply. The SPEAKER having left the Chair, and the whole House having resolved itself into a Committee, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, I rise, Sir, on the present occasion with great diffidence. I feel I am undertaking a task, which gentlemen, however much accustomed to it, might have felt extremely difficult, hut which I, who have:not been accustomed often to enter into a statement of long detail, feel more peculiarly difficult. I ant quite certain the Committee will give me credit for saying, I shall not be inclined to detain them longer than is absolutely necessary. At the same time 1 am afraid Honourable Members are aware I shall not be able, during the time I may detain them, to relieve the dryness of the financial details. It is my intention to state to the Committee, on the pre sent occasion, the financial plans which are to be submitted to the consideration of Parliament. I have taken a very early opportunity of doing this, knowing the anxiety of the House and of the country to be informed upon the subject. I have taken the opportunity so early that on taking what is the statement of the expenditure of the present year, I find the estimates of the whole are not yet before the House ; hut. nevertheless, I shall be able to state the rough totals we intend to name as composing the finan cial statment. Before, however, I go into the statement, and detail the alteration in the financial state of the country, which it is my intention to submit to the House, I shall take the liberty of stating what the Government have been about with respect to reduc tions since they hare been in office. We have not been in office long enough yet to be able to propose to the House all the reductions which we hope to have it in our power to make ; but already have we ascertained that there are many reductions we should he able to effect—more im mediately, bat the greater part undoubtedly rapiiring le gislative measures to enable us to carry into execu tion. I shall state to the house now some of the names of the offices we think we can reduce without detriment to the public service. I shall state then, Sir, and 1 w:sh the House to understand me not as stating them in the way of producing any general immediate saving to the public— still as producing something—not, however, so great is something as might be expected, for undoubtedly it will be necessary to provide far the persons thrown out of office by making th rn an allowance. I mean to state them and submit them to the House, principally as effects the patronage of the Crown. The Vice-Treasurership of Ireland is reduced--the Lieu tenant-Generalship and Clerk of Delivery at the Ord nance; the Auditor of the Civil List ; the Treasurer of the Military College and Asylum ; the Postmaster- General of Ireland ; two Commissioners of the Navy Board ; Surveyor-General and Surgeon of Ireland ; —two Commissioners of the Victualling Board ; one Commissioner of the Navy in Jamaica, and his clerk; the President of the Paymaster's Office; seventy-one Officers reduced in the Dock-yards, rated at from 60 to 600 pounds a-year ; an Inspector of Stamps at Manchester—a vacancy having occurred—a Distributor of Stamps in Cumberland : a Receiver-Ge neral in Scotland : and 4G Receiver-Generals in England— in all amounting to two hundred and ten places, which we conceive we can reduce, by the assistance of the Legislature, during the present Session, if the House will agree to the proposition we intend to make. My Noble Friend at the head of the Colonial Department considers that be cannot adopt all the recommendations we can suggest as to inquiring into the Colonial establishment of the country ; and he is also sure that in going through the other offices similar reductions can be made. The Lord Chancellor is like wise of opinion that very :considerable reductions can be made in his department. Thus far, as regards the patronage of the Crown ; and when I have been taunted with ea) ingl thought the Government ought not to be carried on any linger on the principle of patronage, this is the answer I make to that statement. Having said so much, I now apply myself to the Financial Statement. The mode in which I estimate the supplies is the usual mode— that is, I shall compare the supplies with the Revenues of the last year, and then make such propo sal 11,4 seems to me right. The amount of charges for the present year are 46,856,000/. I mean with the interest of the Debt, Exchequer Bills, and the whole of the changes. ['he increase of 1830 amounted to fifty millions and six hundred thousand pounds ; but from this there was to be deducted the amount received for taxes on beer cider, and apart of sugar during the last year, which will not be received this year which would reduce it to 47,150,000/. Then deducting from that 47,150,000/, the charge which I have stated of 46,856,0001., the sur plus which remains is 300,000/. Sir, I have never been an advocate for a large Sinking Fund, or a large surplus revenue, but I do admit that 300,000/, is corning rather toa Near the mark. I know that I am about to address the House under an expectation on the part of the country, that great reductions of taxes are be made—an expectation which, though not founded upon the state of the revenue, is nevertheless well founded upon the ne cessities of the country ;.and as much as possible a considerable reduction of those taxes must be made which press on the country. I do not know that there ever was a period within my memory in which a reduction of taxes might be made with much greater I effect, arid with far greater relief, than at the present moment. It is when the manufacturing industry of the country is going on in a steady progressive state of iinP rove- ( people ment, that a reduction of taxes affecting th at class of most be productive of great stimulus and encouragement. I Now the object I have in view is, of course, to relieve as I much as I can the poor labouring classes. How, r then, is this to be done ? Is it possible to do th is by taking off taxes that p ress i directly on them ? I am sorry to say it is not, for I - re gret to state that their situation is such that they con sume but few taxable commodities. I believe the best mode of relieving the labouring classes of this community,' or of any community, is Isy giviag thorn employment; and the only redustion of taxes there can be mane is to reduce those that can be conducive of affording them that employment. It is with this view I have considered attentively the whole of the taxation of the country, and though it is impossible for me, in the present state of the finances, to redtice to any large extent taxation, yet, I hope, I shall be able to propose such i an altera tion of the mode in which the taxation is levied, as will give great relief to the industry of the country, and promote the prosperity of all our industrious classes.. Looking at the taxes this way I have classed them. The first ct.,tt that requires the attention of Government are those taxes which by their largenees in atnnunt diminish the receipt of the revenue ; that is to say, where they are so large as to diminish the consumption of the article. These are the first that ought to be attended to. The second class is that which is composed of those which press unequally on the population—taxes which press on one part of the community and not on the whole. The third class of taxes impor tantly requiring to he attended to, are taxes interfering with the manufacturers, and taking much more from the people than they can allow. It is upon them three classes any man considering the state of the country will be of opinion we ought to act, if he wishes to reduce taxation for the improvement of the state of the country. Having stated these as the ge neral views on which I mean to make the financial statement, I should nut do justice to the lion. Member .pposite for Queen's County if I did not acknowledge that, I have taken a great deal cf my statement from his calculation. I shall now first enumerate the taxes I mean to reduce, and then state the amount by which the revenue will be reduced by taking them off. In the first class the first tax which by its amount does not produce so much as it ought, clearly think is tobacco. On looking through the receipts of the to bacco tax, the House will find it has varied in a most ex traordinary manner, exactly according to the increase or diminution of duty upon it, I propose to make a considerable reduction in the tax upon this article. It is elk only that by making this reduction the Revenue will suffer but very little in comparison to the relief that will he afforded, but it will have the effect pretty nearly (indeed as far as my in formation goes e ntir e ly) o f puttin g a s t o p t o smuggling. Great relief will be afforded by this reduction not only to England, but particularly to Ireland, where the article is con sumed to a great extent by almost all the lower classes of society. I propose then to reduce the duty on raw tobacco, which is 3s. to Is. 6d. ; and a duty upon manu factured tobacco which is 3s. to 4s. ad. Before Igo farther, I may just advert to a motion of mine, which is before thellouse,respecting the growth of tobacco in Ireland. I do not mean to prohibit the growth of tobacco in Ireland ; nor do I mean to afford it additional protection to what it now has. To afford it protection would be to encourage the growth of it; and I do think it could be encouraged without affording it great protection.—(Hear, hear.) — Now, Sir, there is another tax which I must confess I have always strongly objected to, though it does not imme diately press on the industry of the labouring classes, yet a tax which presses a good deal on the diffusion of knowledge. I refer to the Stamp Duties on News papers, and the duty on Advertisements. I propose, Sir, with reference to the tax on Newspapers, which now is 4d., with a discount of 20 per cent., to reduce that duty to 2d. without any:discount. With reference, Sir, to advertisements, the duty on which at present is Be. 6d. I propose to reduce that as follows :—On every advertisement not exceeding teu lines, I propose that one shilling duty be paid; above ten lines, a duty of half-a-crown.—(Hear, hear.) I now come, Sir, to speak on those taxes that press considerably on the lower classes : and the first tax to which I have to call attention is, the duty on sea-borne coal.—(Hear, hear.) This, Sir, is a tax that bears di rectly on the labouring classes, by increasing the expense of their fuel, and it presses in a much greater degree on the growth of manufacture. In considering this tax we must look to it as affecting England and Ireland, and I trust th?t in taking off this tax, I shall not be considered as having placed out of view the interests of Ireland. I in tend, Sir, to twee off the whole of this tax.—(Great cheering.)—The House will see by this, and what I have further to say, that I have considered those taxes which press on the lower classes and the manufacturing interest. I shall now refer to a tax which produces far less revenue than what it takes out of the pockets of the people. I refer to the tax on tallow candles. This tax, I also propose to repeal altogether. The next tax is one that also contains every objection which CaR by possibility attach to any tax; I refer to the taxes on printed calicoes. This produces a revenue of two millions, placed on the productive interest of the country, while the article, of which it is composed only produces 500,000/. This, Sir, is a tax affecting that particular class to which I have been referring.— It is consumed by the poorer classes, and I have no doubt the House will think with me that this is a tax which ought to be taken off. Another tax to which I have applied myself with great attention, as it is a tax on productive in dustry, is the tax upon glass; and I doubt not when this article is removed from the trammels of the Excise that the manufactory of an article so important in life will go on with prosperity when combined with a reduction of the taxes on sea-borne coals. In this case, the manufacturer must pay duty on the whole body of the article he manu factured, whereas, when he has any thing ornamental to produce he must cut away a great deal of that commodity On which he has paid duty. These, Sir, are the taxes that include the reductions. There are several small taxes— about 163 I believe—which do not produce above 2,0001. those will' be taken off. Now, Sir, I shall first state dm amount, as it would appear, of the money that has been received on these taxes. Upon the first tax which I have the honour to call the attention of the House to, namely, the tax on tobacco, there has been received two millions, eight hundred thousand pound. , . The tax on newspapers is four hundred thousand pounds—that would he reduced to two hundred and eighty-four thousand pounds, and the tax on advertisements would be reduced one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. The tax on coals amounts to eight hundred and thirty thousand pounds. The tax on tallow candles produces 220,0001. This, Sir, will make in the whole a reduction of taxation, in the relief of are people, of four millions and eighty thousand pounds. I now come, Sir, to where I shall state the mode in which this deficiency to the revenue will be provided for. In endeavouring to provide for this, I have been anxious to pursue a course that would not interfere with the productive industry of the country. The first tax which I propose to increase in lieu of the taxes which I have taken off,—l trust in pursuing the course which I intend to take will be the means of diminishing the price of the article to which I am now going to refer, namely, that of wine. At the present time, French wine pays a duty of 7s. 6d. per gallon. Other wine 4s. 10d., and Cape wine 2s. sd. Now, I propose to equalize tha whole of this duty at ss. Gd. Although by this means there will be a considerable rise in the duty on Cape, yet, I believe, gentlemen are aware that that is a wine of which the consumption is but small. The consumption of wine in consequence of this tax will not be diminished, and I consider that the whole of this duty of ss. Gd. will give about 1,840,0001. Sir, in the estimates of the duties which I propose to repeal, I forgot to state what would be the diminution of the revenue by the adoption of that course. The reduction on the Tobacco tax will be about eight hundred thousand pounds. The reduction on Newspapers will be about 100,0001. That on coals will be aboutB3o,ooo/. That on candles will not be a reduction of 420,0001., for this reason—l have had a great many communications from different quarters on all taxes, and I have hid a strong representatation made to me by the manufacturers of candles that I should not take off the duty upon them till the 10th d.ly of October, because they have stated to me that they take in their stock of candles is the early part of the year, on which they hnve paid duty, and on which they would be entitled to no reduction. This tax, therefore, I do not propose to repeal until the 10th of October.—. The reduction, therefore, upon this, I shall calculate at 200,0001. The reduction on printed cotton will be 500,0001. On glass 600,000/., and the reductio❑ on the other taxes to which I have before referred, about 60,0001. So that there will be areduction of upwards of 3,170,000/. Before I digressed, I was on the alteration on the duty on wines; by that I expect to gain about 240,0001. The next tax is of a similar nature. It is a tax which I most strenuously advocated se veral years ago on the Committee of Foreign Trade. I have always thought it a tax that ought to be increased. I refer, Sir, to the tax on timber. At the present moment that tax stands thus. On European timber there is at the present moment a tax of ss. per load. On Canadian timber 10s. I propose to increase them to 50s. This, Sir, will increase the Revenue by about five hun dred thousand pounds. I should be sorry to do any thing that would be hurtful to any of the staple manufakurers of this country. But I am quite con vinced, — on reflection, that the measure which I now intend to propose will certainly not have that effect. I intend, however, to propose that a tax of one penny a pound shall be laid on raw cotton imported into this country, and a draw back also of one penny on all cotton goods.— Th►s will leave an amount of taxation of 497,0001. The next tax I intend to alter, and from which I expect considerable revenue, is the tax on the exportation l of coals. As the tax at present stands on that article it is I is. 6d. upon large coats, and 4s. on small. Now what I propose is, to equalize this by imposing a tax of 10s. on all coal exported. I ex pect, Sir, a revenue from this to ths amount of 100,0001. The next tax, Sir, which I propose w:'l be on steam boat passengers—.(Cries of hear and Laughter)—the tax that I mean to lay on is for passongers under twenty miles Is. a head; frorii 20 to 30 miles 25., and from 30 miles and Upwards 2s. 6d. This tax, Sir, I expect will produce 100,000/. annually.—(Hear. )—I cannot see what forcible objection there can he to this tai. I have con; stilted a gentleman; who I consider a good authority on this subject (Mr. teane, of the Custom-house) and he considere.l there would be no difficulty in collecting it— neither does he see any objection to it. I now have to take another view on a different point, I allude to auctions on the sale of all landed property, I cannot see the pro priety that there should be, as at present, a 'ess tax on the sal e of small estates than there is on larger ones ; I there fore intend to lay a tax of one half per cent. on the transfer of all landed property by public auction.—(Hear, hear, hear.)--4 do not see why the higher classes should not he taped to the full extent of all others, neither do I see why the transfer of one kind of property should be taxed and not another, I therefore propose to lay a similar tax on all sales of the public funds.—(Hear, and cheers from all parts of the House.)—The tax that I mean to propose is half per cent., or ten shillings, upon eNcery hundred pounds bonafide transfer of stock.—( ) But, Sir, it is not my intention to tax the transfer of stock, where it is only dime for tho purpose of giving security to raise a loan of money. lam aware, Sir, of the delicacy and difficulty attending the subject, but I do not think there are any disadvantages equal to the benefit that will be derived, neither can I see for one moment that the House agreeing to this proposition will affect the public credit, hut Ido think they will give general relief. Neither do I tbink, as I before said, that it it is any infraction of the public faith consistent with the advantages that it would cerainly bring to the country. It may be said, Sir, that this is only a beginning, but we have the security that we lay the same tax on land as we do on the funds. We do not tax land to the exclusion of the funds, as on transfers of all descriptions of property the same tax will be levied. The House will bear in mind that Ido not propose to tax the transfer of stock, when it is only transferred as a security for a loan of money. If I did, it would be a great inconvenience to the com mercial world. I therefore give the privilege of excep tion in such cases. It now, Sir, becomes me to state what I expect In derive from these taxes. From the tax on the transfer of landed and funded pro perty, I calculate will be derived a sum of 1,200,000/. From the tax on transfer of stock about 800,0001. and from land somewhat under 500,0001. From the total amount of taxes that I propose to lay on I expect will pro. duce a total of 2,750,000/. Now the revenue in the year 1830 amounted to 47,150,000/. The taxes I propose tore duce will amount to 3,170,000/., leaving the reduced reve nue 44,160,000/., add to this the new taxes, amounting to 2,750,000/. , it will then produce a revenue of 47,370,0001. which I calculate will leave a surplus of revenue over the expenses of the country of somewhat more than 450,0001. In making these alterations, I have consulted many gentlemen well versed on the subject, and their opinion co incides with mine—that the money interest will not like the change, but that the manufacturing interest will. Now, Sir, I consider this the greatest recommendation my plan could have.—(Hear, hear.) I consider that the taking off the taxes off cotton, coals, and glass, will very much increase the consumption of those articles. It may be thought a bold experiment ; but in my conscience I believe it will meet the interests of all, and I believe that the plan will succeed. At all events I have been guided with a wish for the prosperity and welfare of the country. On the motion that a supply be granted to his Majesty, The Right Hon. H. GOULBURN rose. He said tha' he could [never have contemplated witnes.ing on the part of. a Minister of the Crown, such a departure from prin ciple as the statement of the Noble Lord this evening ex hibited. It seemed, indeed, as though he had laboured to draw a distinction between the manufacturing and the moneyed interest. It had hitherto been the anxious wish of the Government of this country to unite them as in one body, but the Noble Lord seemed desirous only of giving pleasure to the manufacturer and pain to the monied classes.—(Loud cries of "hear, hear, and no, no.")—He repeated that he appeared only to wish to please the one, totally regardless of displeasing the other. He looked upon the great imposition of a stamp duty on the transfer of funded property as one of the gros sest violations of public faith that had been con templated. It had hitherto been the great and first object of Government to keep the compact be tween those who lent their money and those who borrowed it inviolate, and he was quite sure, from the knowledge he had of the right feelings that noble Lord possessed, that had he himself been aware of the extent of his own proposition, that he would never have ventured upon it. The statutes under which the stock was created contained the most specific engagement that could be framed that the transfer of it should not be burdened with any stamp duties.— Nothing could be more positive or more binding than that engagement was, and consequently no measure would be a greater violation of public faith than the one which was now proposed. It was most unjust, and he would unhesitatingly predict that it would be found as impolitic as it was unjust.—(Hear, hear.)—lt must of necessity have the inevitable tendency of extinguishing that rapidity of transfer• which rendered property in the public funds so peculiarly eligible. It was, too, as he bad already stated, the grossest violation of faith with the public creditor that was ever contemplated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. The NOBLE LORD, however, spoke so low as to be totally inaudible in the gallery. We understood hint to say that the imposition of the Property Tax was a far greater de parture from the spirit of the statute than the measure he now proposed could have. The Right Honourable HENRY GOULBURN continued. The more he heard of the measure, the more was he convinced that it was one which the House ought most attentively and most patiently to investigate, pre viously to deciding upon it; he had before him a sketch to which he alluded, and most assuredly words could not be more strong, laws could not be more binding than those in which the laws to which he referred was couched. The Right Hon. Gentleman here read the clause which enacted that no stamp duty should at any time be imposed upon transfer or trans fers of stock in Government Securities, whatever Act of Parliament or Statute might be passed to the contrary notwithstanding.—(Hear, hear.)—He conjured the Noble Lord to recollect the grievous injury it would inflict upon that portion of the community which appeared, he was satisfied, honestly so, the objects of his Lordship's sympathy. Let but the Noble Lord and the House only recollect the numerous small sums that were invested in the public funds from the Saving Banks—which institutions bad hitherto enjoyed the fostering protection of that 110116 e. It would indeed effectually prohibit their continuing in their pre sent course of usefulness. Let it also be recollected that many individuals in the country purchase small sums, such as 501. for instance, in spring, which they had to sell again at rent-day, or when they might want money. All such transactions would be at once put a atop to, unless indeed people choose to continue it, for the sake of putting money into the pockets of Govern ment. He in his conscience believed that the operation of this measure would do more to injure the people than all the gain they could have only from measures which the Noble Lord proposes for their relief. Had, be would ask, the Noble Lord enquired into the magnitude of these transfers which were making every day and hour in the funds? But he must have done so, or he could not have calculated the amount of the Revenue he anticipated from this tax. Let it likewise be considered that if they taxed the transfer of property in our funds, they could not impose a similar tax on the funds of other nations. It was consequently holding out a bonus to in duce people to make their investments in other funds. Mr: Alderman WAITHINIAN considered that there was nothing more important to have been reduced than the house and window taxes. It was to be inferred from the report of the proceedings of the House, that Mr. Pitt admitted that this tax during his time was two-thirds above its value. It was a subject to which he (the Honourable Alderman) wished the Noble Lord opposite particularly to turn his mind.— He should have no objection to the substitution of any other fair and reasonable tax, because he did not wish to cripple his Majesty's Government of all its resources, but he said now as he had said before, that if it was imagined the relief that was absolutely necessary to be afforded to the country could be given to it, con sistent with what is called good faith to the public, neither the present nor any other Government could possibly do it. It might linger for a time, it might drag its own length with it in the attempt, but no Government whatever could do it. He really believed the great difficulty the Governmant had to encounter was the controul and management of Parliament from a corrupt system, and the number of incumbrances upon the Government. There was but one way of affording relief. Let the Government adopt that course, and should they perish, let them perish gloriously by throwing them selves on the public.—(Cheers.) Dlr. JOHN SMITH felt great anxiety on tke present occasion. 1 4 40 man in the Mouse had Seen the formation of the present Government with more satisfaction than himself, bee use he had seen the Members of it pledged themselves to certain measures which if they conducted with prudence would, in his opinion be of the highest service to the country.— He, however, was under the necessity of saying, that he certainly thought that one of the measures brought forward this , night was ill-advised, dangerous, and ought not to be persisted in.-- - -(Loud cheers.) He Mould take the liberty of calling the attention of the House to the sub ject, making a few observations which his situation in life enabled him to offer. The Noble Lord had propose, a tax on the tr a n s f er o f s tock in the funds. - For his own part, he was one of the last to wish for any thing like seeing the honour of the country violated— (Hear, hear)—but if they should be driven to any thing like it, they had therefire always one means, that of certainly resorting to the property of the rich. To be able to have money in the funds was exceed ingly useful ; but, if for instance, a man were to pay 500/. for transferring 100,000/. Consols, he would undertake to say that that any man would not, under any thing like ord:nary circumstances, make the transfer. It was well known that bankers make large advances in stock, which was of the highest importance to the community. In that dreadful crisis, namely, in 1825 and 1826, what was the situation of the city of London ? Individuals then sold large sums of stock, and advanced the money. With the prothare of the stock they assisted their friends in London, in the country, and every where; and had it not been for the great exertions made by individuals, above all, the extraordinary and excellent conduct of the meritorious individual who at that period of time filled the Chair of the Aank his own opinion was that universal ruin and discredit would have extended over England. Had 500/. to have been paid for the transfer of one hundred thousand Consols at that time, for a period of about a a month, or longer, or shorter, scarcely a man wonld have been formed to have made the transfer. He Noble Lord had talked of bona-fide transfers—in the name of God how was he to distinguish between bona fide and other transfers ? He really knew not; and if he were under the necessity of not getting his money transferred in the stocks without paying this enormous tax, he should be exc, edingly cautions of lending it ; nor did he know any man who who would not think twice before he lent his money. If, then, when there were contracts in Lon don, for instance, of millions of stands of arms, and milliens:of yards of cloth ; could any prudent man dare to enter into suchcontracts, if he could not get that sort of credit which his respectability and character had heretofore entitled him to get, but which he could not by any possibility get, if the Funds of the country were not made available to him. The Funding system promised to keep the peace of the whole of Europe; as to war for his own part he had nexer been aware of it, nor had any nation the power which this country had to conte n d with it in war, but nothing short of maintaini n g the dignity and the honour of the country would ever again induce England to enter th e field of battle. The funding system it was that afforded England this superior strength.—(Hear.)—l n conclusion he hoped the Noble Lord would consult with those individuals who had no interest in the subject, but who (and many there were to be found) could tell him all the conse quences of this measure. They were so important, so inconvenient, and so severe that it would be impossible to escape from them. The only remedy people could have of keeping their credit would be, to keep their money in their own pockets; and he should really be glad to know what would be, so injurious to this country with a rising trade, than to cripple our resources. He felt great reluctance to oppose any mea sure this Gnvernment might propose, but he should oppose the present measure, because he thought it would be most injurious to a particular class of persons who ought not to be selected to suffer, and calculated to destroy the best interests of society. Mr. MABERLY sad, that in his opinion the trans fer of all property of every description ought to he free from taxation, and he hoped the Noble Lord would with draw his resolution on that subject. He still would have an opportunity of making reductions by increasing the taxes less oppressive. He thought an additional tax might be put upon spirits. He threw out this hint that it might be well considered in Committee. With respect to the reduction of the expenditure, he would go the full length of the Noble Lord, and give him his hearty support; but the objectionable proposition of taxing transfers of pro perty he hoped would be reconsidered, and he was sure the Noble Lord would be convinced of the propriety of withdrawing that proposition. _ . . Several Members rose at the same time, but gays way to Mr. K. DOUGLAS—He said that in his opinion the propositions of the Noble Lord were founded in the greatest injustice ; or he would go farther, and say they were dis honest, and so the country would think when they became acquainted with them. The Noble Lord had not ex plained to the House whether he intended to tax the transfers of money in the saving banks, on the property of joint stock companies, Bank Stock, or canal property, he thought, if that was not explained, the statement that would appear before the public to-morrow, would lead to the belief that such was his in tention. He therefore hoped that an explanation would be given on that point. He (Mr. Keith Douglas) also objected to the e qualization of the duty on wine, a distinction ought to he made between that imported from our own Colonies from that of foreign countries. He regretted that no allusion had been made by the Noble Lord to the distress that existed in the West Indies. After some further observations, the Hon. Member said that he should give the resolutions his most decided and determined opposition. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON could not, in justice to his constituents, let the present discussion pass over with out offe, ing a few observations, and express his opposition to that proposition of the Noble Lord for laying a tax on the transfer of funded property. If the public cre ditor had relied on the justice of Parliament at a time when they considered the reduction of the Five per Cents. to 4i and the 4 per cents. to 31-, they then relied upon the assurance that no alteration would be made on the funded property, and agreed to the proposition. He was confident it would create the greatest dissatisfaction in the city of London,and afford a precedent for the Minister of next year, whoever he might be, to come down to the House and lay an additional:tax of one, two, or three per cent. If this tax on the transfer of the funded property were to take place, it would have the effect of driving capital out of this country into others, where the Government did not interfere.— (Hear, hear, bear.)—He was quite satisfied with the proposition of the reduction of coals, candles, glass, &c., hut if the measure was to be accompanied by a tax on the transfer of funded property, lie was sure the country would much rather that things should remain in the same state that they were at present than have any alteration at all. (LEFT SITTING.) PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. L UR G 211 V. (Abridged from the Belfast Northern Whig of Monday.) A meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neigh bouurhood of Lurgan was held in the Court-house of that town, on Saturday, the 22d inst. to petition Parliament for Reform; WILLIAM Join; HANCOCK, Esq., Seneschal of the Manor, in the Chair, Mr. JAmv.s. JOHNSTON moved the first resolution. He wished briefly to say, that the state of this unhappy country is unprecedented in the history of the world—a country abounding with all the necessaries of life, and yet the working classes bordering on starvation. The people, owing to the lowness of wages, and the scarcity of em ployment, cannot provide food sufficient to support a mi serable existence; nor is it in the power of their employers to augment their wages, owing to the depressed state of our trade and 'manufactures. In his opinion, the only re medy for the present calamitous state of things is, to repeal the Corn Laws, for by this means the price of bread will be so reduced, that the small earnings of the poor man will purchase more food to support himself and miserable family. He considered it the duty of Government to re lieve the starving population, and he believed it their in terest also—fOr, if any disturbance should take place, the Government or landed interest would have more at stake than any others.—(Cheers.) GEORGE M`MILLAN. in rising to speak to the fourth resolution, hoped the circumstances connected with his sphere of life, as a mechanic, together with his re tired habits, would be a sufficient apology for those de fects which disqualified him for speaking in public. The Aristocracy have assume d a power which is incom patible with the true spirit of the Const i tu ti o n. Thi• rabble.—(Hear.) H e would assert, that i nte lli ge nt rational men, of whatev er grade, whose principles are loyalty, ob. jects peace, and conduct legal, ought at all times to he patiently heard b y the Government, on t h e s ubject of th e i r grievances. T he time is come w h en t h e people m us t b e heard. The Ar i stocracy must come down from th e i r elf-constructed elevation. The political gulph betwetn the Lich man and Lazarus in this world must b filed up. The times of ignorance are past. " Understanding and deep reasoning power, From dwarfish stature rising masculine, In spite of bigotry, are growing big." Yes, Sir, knowledge has grown not only big, but gigantic. It has assumed a colossal Size, far superior to that which once stood on the island of Rhodes, holding forth its light-house, to guide the storm-tost mariner safe into harbour. The colossus which he referred to, now stands with a foot on either liemispbere.—(Cheers.)—The mighty waves of the wide Atlantic roll beneath his stride. The crowns of despots are under his feet. He also holds forth the beacon of liberty in his hand, enlightening tl!e universe. The whole continent of America has received its light. Europe, also, is beaming with its illumina tion. Greece—France—Belgium —are illuminated. Its rays have penetrated into the dark regions of the North. The lofty turrets of Berlin and Warsaw are gilded with its beams.—(Cheers.) Mr. WELLS-Mr. Chairman, I give my support to the motion before you, that is, triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot—(lmmense cheering)—and an extension of the elective franchise. Mr. J. H. BOYD moved the fifth resolution, which was seconded by Mr. H. GILBERT, jun,, and carried unani- mous'y. A petition, embodying the spirit of the resolutions was then agreed to, to be entrusted for presentation, in the House of Commons, to Charles Brownlow, Esq., our pa triotic representative, and that Lord Acheson he requested to support the prayer of it; and to Earl Gosfurd, in the House of Lords, or in the event of his refusal to support it, to be forwarded to Earl Grey. The thanks of the meeting were then voted, by accla mation, to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. BILS TON. (From the Wolverhampton Chronicle.) A meeting of the inhabitants of Rilston, convened by the chief constable, in compliance with a most respectably signed requisition, was held at the Publlc Offue, on Friday , last, for the purpose of " taking into consideration the ❑ecessity of petitioning both Houses of Parliament for a real, substmtial, and effectual Reform in the representa tion of the people ; and also 'or an extension of the elec tive franchise to the parish of Wolverhampton, of which the township of Bilston forms so important a part." The meeting was very numerously attended, and it was com _ posed of the most wealthy and influential inhabitants of the place. The Rev. Mr. LEIGH (Clergyman of Bilston) being unanimously called to the Chair addressed the meeting to the following effect :—Gentlemen, for more than twenty years it has been the conviction of my mind that a Reform in the Commons' House-of Parliament was absolutely ne cessary for the well tieing of the country. My sentiments have never changed ; I was a reformer then, and lam a reformer now. But I have never belonged to any political . . . club in my life, nor have I ever attended a Iteform meet ing till to day ; nor should I have encouraged this, but from the belief that petitioning is the only course to be taken to save us all from ruin. It may be supposed, per haps, that, as a Clergyman, I may dread a Reform in the Church. Not I, indeed ! on the contrary, if there be abuses in the Church, let them be looked up, an,l, if dis covered, let them be corrected. Why should I fear in vestigation ? There is no cause for alarm to those who are really and truly labourers in the vineyard; it is nbt the working bees, but the drones, who need fear—those . _ who receive the hire without the labour—and this is no' my case. The Commons' House of Parliament ought to lie a faithful representation of the voice, the opinions, and the wishes of the people; but it is a notorious fact, that constituted as that House now is, a majority of its Mem bers are but the nominees of Peers or other private indi viduals, and therefore can have no claim to the title of the people's represent,itives. I beg, however, not to be mis understood. Let it not be supposed that lam an enemy to the aristocracy of my country. God forbid ! I think them entitled to every man's highest respect. I only wish to keep them in their proper places. I presume a Peer would not be well pleased to see one of our representatives take a seat by his side in the Howe of Lords, and there give a vote : hew then can a Peer expect that we are pleased in seeing him take a place in the House of Com mons, which we all know he does by proxy, which is the same thing ? I ask if this is not unconstitutional ? and I ask if from this corrupt source have not issusd a gross mis management of the public affairs, a profligate expenditure of public money, an unnecessary interference with Foreign Powers, long and expensive wars, producing a national debt enormous in amount, and having in its train excessive taxation, commercial and agricultural distress, na tional wretchedness, and national despair ? Of the profligate expenditure of the public money there are proofs without number; hut I will merely name one —the Civil List. Whoever has read, as set forth in that excellent Paper the Times, an abstract from that list, will be satisfied ?—a civil list, indeed—never was such a misnomer ! I call it a most uncivil list, and a perfect insult to the feelings of a country bowed to the very earth by excessive taxation.— Observe, in the election of county members, what an absurdity presents itself in the right of voting, and how very limited it is rendered by such absurdity ! The owner of property, however large, if it be what is termed copy hold, has no vote : thus the proprietors of half Biiston have no voice, because they happen to live on one side of a brook, whilst those living on the other side have ! Was there ever anything so ridiculous ? I ask, if such crying evils exist, is it not high time they were removed? Is there not urgent necessity for petitioning ! Nay, is it not every man's bounden duty to join in petitioning for a real, a substantia', and effectual Reform? For unless it be so, the country will be grievously disappointed, and the consequences dreadful even to contemplate, See the state of public opinion upon the subject; look at this meeting, ever which I have the honour to preside, arid find a man, if you can, who will be bold enough to say that the inhabitants of Bilston are not unanimous upon the subject ! But I will go further I will refer to the country at large, and I will, for toy proof, instance the case of the Duke of Wellington. I need hardly say how great was his popularity! Wherever he appeared, he was received with acclamations and joy. What Englislan xn was ever heard to grumble at his titles, his lionouts, his pensions ? Has he not given names throughout the whole land to things the most trifling, undertakings the most important, and structures the most stupendous, from a Wellington boot up to a Waterloo-bridge ! ! I—This was the Duke of Wellington !—Look at his Grace now. In an evil hour he set at nought the public opinion upon Re form—he made that fatal and frantic declaration upon the opening of the new Parliament, when the whole kingdom was on the tip-toe of anxiety and expectation—that in his opinion " the representation was as good as it need be— that neither be nor his colleagues had any plan of Reform to offer,—and that so long as he was at the head of Go vernment, none should be listened to !" In consequence of this uncalled-fur, this insulting assertion, from one end of England to the other his popularity died ; and if his name be now proposed as a toast at any public dinner, it is absolutely reqnisite for that toast to be prefaced by the obser vation, that his Grace's health is not given as a Statesman, hut in another character—a character, in which I pray that it may always be drank with enthusiasm, in spite of a'l his misdoinga—l mean as the Hero of Waterloo. During the delivery of hiS speech, which lasted for more than an hour, the Rev. Gentleman was very frequently interrupted by the long and loud applause of the meeting, and when he sat down there was continued cheering. Mr. Willem, Mr. T. Bankes, Mr. Perry, Mr. W. S. Biekley, 31;-. E lward Best, Rev. Air. Fletcher, Mr. N. Best, Mr. William Dean, and Mr. John Mason, moved and seconded the resolutions in able addresses, which our confined limits prevent us from giving. The most perfect order was observed during the whole time the business of the meeting was transacted, and not a single voice was raised to disturb the harmony or destroy the unanimity which prevailed ; but at the conclusion a simultaneous burst of applause broke from the crowded assembly, which lasted fur many minutes ; after which the company quietly separated. Lord ALTHORP'S declaration on the Civil List discussion, that " the majority of the pensions on the list were merely and purely pensions of charity," seems to indicate a state of things, amongst the " pillats of State," in the highest degree deserving of the attention of Pattie ments No part of the community should be dependent on the capricious bounty of individuals for subsistence ; and, if the distress of the patrician classes be thus severe, it is to be hoped that the good old m ixint, " there is not one law for the rich and another for the poor "—nay, common humanity itself —will suggest the necessity of a Peer's rate as well as a poor's-rate.—Morning Herald. _ _ " Mothers and Daughters is, without even the exception of ' Maxwell,' ' the best novel of the season as far as the season has gone, and will always remain an admirable specimen of the fashionable school. It is a faithful, exact, and withal spirited picture of the Aristo cracy of this country—an admirable description of what is called high life, and full of a more enlarged knowledge of human nature. This is the novel which should have been ca led the ' Excluives.' We recommend Mothers and Daughters' to readers of all classes: to the politician and moralist the Wol k will give infurinstion—to the novel reader am asemen t."-- Spectator.
