SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The majority against the malt tax on Friday night was a surprise, it seems, to his Majesty's Mi nisters, although Sir William I gilby had given notice of his motion for this partial repeal of the malt tax several weeks ago. We wish to make a few observations. It appears to us, that when Lord Grey's Government were in the act of framina their Reform Bill, it would have been useful to them to consider, under every aspect, the detailed workings of that msa , ute in the House of Commons, as well as its bearings upon the constituency out of doors ; and this would have deserved their attention, not, surely, that they might have been thereby enabled to prevent the natural consequences of the measure, bur only to be prepared for them, and take the rough and smooth of their inevitable operation. The old system would not have answered its pur poses if it had not rendered the business of Govern ment in some respects an easy task. The Mi nister and his friends returned very nearly a majori y, who were kept to their good be haviour by wages wrung from the people. The votes on every question were as well ascertained, beforehand by the Secretaries of the Trek, tiry, as it was known from the records of Par t ament how many Members sat therein. There was, under such a system, little or no room for sur prise, or when it did come it was of necessity fatal. A majority against the Minister was like the pre aen, ation of the bowstring,—it was instant death ; because it indicated a total falling off of his allies, an d would have shoarn itself on every succeeding ques tion until the grand purpo-e of his expulsion from office had been effected. From the same pre ordained course of proceeding which merged all partial divisions and interests in two,—namely, the sup porters of 'he existing Administration and its adver saries,—there was little probability of the occasional triumph of any subordinate party by means of its own independent resources over either of the two great ones which comprehend the bulk of the House of Commons. The East India interest, the West Indian. the shipping interest, the manufacturing in terest—even the landed interest (the leviathan) itself, could do nothing hut by now and then contriving to hold the balance, where the opposing weights were more nearly equalized than usual, and thus carrying their point in the way of bargain and sale. Things are altered since the reform of Parliament. Ministers have no tie over a majority but the pre vailing confidence in their general integrity or wis dom. True it is that two great parties still com prehend within them the mass of the House of Commons, but they are not the same parties, nor fighting under the same banners as before. For merly, it was Ministerial and Opposition—it is " agriculturist and commercial" now. Stupid and shallow may it well be called of any class of men in or out of Parliament, to conceive that they have interests which, in Me long run, can be served by the sacrifice of another great class of interests; but, tinfortunateiy, the landowners are found to act with pertenacious violence upon that sordid error. Professing to make common cause with the manu facturers, and to plead for the prosperity of the e iffering farmer, to the exclusion of their own, there I. no trick or subterfuge which they have not em ployed to deceive both the one and the other of these their clients, that bread might be kept dear and land over-rented. When Lord Chandos carried his mis chievous clause, qualifying 50/. tenants.at-will as electors, the "rights and respectability" of this order of tenants was on the tongue of that loud agricultural champion, but at his heart was landlord power, and well has that truth been since demonstrated. So, when the same Noble Lord, on Friday evening, . . . _ brought in his general resolution for " duly consider ing the interests of the agricultural portion of the community," what was his whole speech but a je remiads upon the disappointments and distresses of the " farmets ?" while all the world but some of the farming gulls themselves well understood what portion of the " agricultural community" was the secret object of his Lordship's care. Again, what was Sir W. Ingilby's motion but a landlord motion, to heighten the rent of barley land by reducing the sum yielded out of it for the revenue, and thus tran.fer the amount of the tax—nay more (for there would be an increase of consumption, and conse quently a higher price for malt)—into the landlord's pocket ? Partners, indeed !—much they feel for the farmers ! There never was a cry more hypo critical or disgusting than this, raised by landowners on behalf of their own rents, tinder the cloak of anxiety for the well-being of their tenants. With regard to the influence of such a vote as that of Friday upon the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, nothing can he more manifest than what it ought to be—that is to say, that public spirit, as well as personal sagacity, 1 }adds them to quit their posts. In fact, the mere rumour, which has been put about with much diligence among the Tory circles, was the severe satire upon their want of firmness and on their ignorance of the machine which they have themselves cotts•ructed—a Parliament representing the various interests of the nation Resign! for what ? in whose favour ? on what shadow of pretext ? No, let them begin by enforc ing a little better discipline among their own officers. I et the secretaries of the Treasury be a little more alert in reminding those Members who are not of the particular clique, having a selfish interest in jobbing either against Ministers, or against any one department of taxation, that if they do not attend on certain question, they themselves and their con stituents mus inevitably suffer. It is shameful for the friends of Ministers to call last Friday's vote a suprise. If it was the general desire of the country , to reduce the malt tax, they ought not ro have op posed it ; if not, they ought to have succeeded in their opposition to it ; in either case they ought to have known what they were doing. A. a rider to Sir W resoltiti-n, there ought to have been another introduced forthwith, to admit foreign barley free, for Mr. Warburton was unansoei.able in hi: statement that the effeet of the motion, as now curried will be no more than to raise the barley rents of Great Britain :thou' 2,000,0001. per annum. It is to he hoped that Ministers will have manhood enough to propose from themselves this cure for a gross de ception—this just and honest retribution upon the Landlords for their grave hypocrisy. If the price of beer is to fall—if the poor man is, in truth, to be benefited—destroy the landlord's monopoly of the material for making beer; there will then be some thing consistent in the votes of the House of Com mons. But more than this must be done, It is plain that, with such a hole in the revenue as these agriculturists have created, the public creditor or the public service must be left unptovided for. Why, then—we repeat Lord Althorn's words—the re must be a commutation for the malt tax ; but not for a moiety of the malt tax : abolish the whole of it, Consult, moreover, the universal feelings of the middle gentry and trading interests of the king dom, abolish the house and window tax, and raise the deficit to upwards of 7,000,000/, "What next ? Then face the monster of landlord cupidity boldly, and, like another evil being, it will fly from you. Dismiss also the Macullochs, and other quacks of that superficial and prating school, as unworthy of serious attention; propose a good bold property fax, and it will be carried in spite of the landlords and iundlords, increasing ra ther than diminishing that surplus of revenue over expenditure, of which, when not immoderate and not wasted, Lord Althorn admits the pol c y in his last bud get. Oar advice, under all the circum stances, would be to pay the landlords in their own coin, give them the whole malt tax, take away their monopoly of barley, relieve the people gene rally from the house and windo w tax, and lay on a tax on property in commutation. If Ministers re sign on such a difficulty as this , they d eserve to l ose the confidence of all parties, and of every honest man in England; but they must not adhere to their present budget !—all classes repudiate it.—Tines. Much speculation exists as to the direction which matters may take in the I - louse of Commons this evening. All that is certainly known is, that Mi nis' ers decaled not to resign at the Cabinet yester day, and communicated t h e i r d e cision to the King, who expressed, n terms of unabated con6dence, his satisfaction at the resolution they had adopted. The further measures they intend to pursue will, of course, be explained to the House. The alterations before them appear either to be a large commutation of other taxes for a property tax, or perseverance in the financial plan submitted by Lord Althorp to Parliament, when he stated his budget for the year. Both courses, in the temper of the House and ex cited expectations of the people are beset with dif ficulties. A property or income tax is not likely on further examination and consideration, to be more popular with the country than the taxes from which the people are so eager to obtain relief; and, on the other hand, a perseverance in the measures disclosed by the budget, may unite in opposition to the Government the Mem. bers who voted for the repeal of the malt tax, those who are pledged to their constituents in the towns for the repeal of the house and win dow tax, and lastly, the minority who supported Mr. Robinson in his proposition for the substitution of a property tax for a large amount of our present burrhens. Truly, the times begin to bear with an intense pressure on those who have to administer our affairs, and to whom has been bequeathed the precious inheritance of the Pitt system. The bill of the late wars is now to be paid, and we do not envy those who have to provide the money, and, at the same time, to sati-fy the urgent and clamaurous demands of the people for relief. The tax payers are much in the situation of the soldier, who never could he reconciled to the lash of the drummer, however applied. The means required for the dis charge of the demands of the national creditor, whether as fundholder or pensioner, absorb two thirds of the whole amount levied in taxes ; and this branch of our expenditure, at least, admits of no reduction. Nor can the Ministers at once (if that is the right policy) dismantle or abandon our Colonies—leave Ireland without a military force —or, in the present unsettled state of our foreign relations, reduce to any sensible extent the active military or naval force of the country. Reductions they must make of every still ng expe dient on either not absolutely necessary to maintain their efficiency; and every vote to •vhtch reasonable objection can be urged will he watched, and gru lged with the most scrupulous and rigid jealousy. But what will all this do towards satisfying the craving appetite of the public for immediate relief ? We sincerely believe the distress in the large manufac turing towns has been grossly exaggerated. That part of our population is generally enjoying a fair state o wages, wi h a steady demand, and a reduced rare of the necessaries of life. Tne pressure is prin cipally in the agricultural districts, where the capi tal of the farmer has been gradually exhale-ter] in the vain attempt to uphold the former scale of rents; - and the shopkeeper in the villages equally affected by the fallen fortunes of his customer, and the de preciation annually affecting his stock in trade since the bubble of 1825. We suspect that the frequent tamptrings with the currency are now in their effects producing much more wide-spreading misery and dis tress, than the actual burthen of taxation. Tire fever and ague system—t he alternate relaxations and restric tions adopted by all our wise Admieistrations since the peace, have produced su:h frequent changes in the distribution of property, that it is almost impossible to caiculate their consequence or effects on these classes of society. The large stockholders in trade pass more rapidly through the Gazelle, and fall the victims of their speculations, encouraged and de stroyed by this system—their places in the great commercial marts being supplied by others founding their fortunes on the ruin of their predecessors. In the agricultural dis!ricts and towns, these changes are protracted by a struggle in the vain expectation of the return of " better times," and are more slowly, but as certainly, doing the work of destruc tion. The decline in the value of almost every article of which a shopkeeper's stock consists, has been gradually going on, from 1826 to the present time, and amounts in the whole to between 30 and 50 per cent. What have been his profits in the mean time ? Such are the true causes of the present well-founded complaints of these classes of the people. Those who have benefitted—but, after all, it is only, as we have before said, a change in the distribution, not the destruction, of the national capital seldom boast their good for tune. We only hear of the reverses and distress of the unfortunate sufferers. Lord Grey, at least, is not accountable or to blame for this state of things. lie patronised neither the French nor American wars. He resisted the Order in Council for the suspension of cash payments in 1797, and has constantly since been opposed to the system of corruption and extravagance, and all these tamper ings with the curreney. What may be the result of the present critical posture of affairs, we are at a loss to conjecture. An open quarrel between the Ciovernment and the House of Common:, will be the " commencement de la fin;" and we therefore, ►vi hour expressing any decided opinion on the pro bable causes of d.fference between them, deprecate such an issue as fraught with irremediable mischief to the country. Where are successors to be found ? We have every reason to believe that the stories in circulation of differences in the Cabinet are utterly destitute of foundation, and have been circulated for the worst and basest purposes. If, therefore, they act in good spirit together, no division from this Government can be expected to join or reinforce any new parry. Can Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington re-unite their discordant forces, and attempt the vain and hopeless task in which their predecessors will have failed, of satisfying the people with large reductions, either of esiabli,li merits or taxation—or must we fall into the hands of :qr. At t wood, Mr. Robinson, and the other quacks of their peculiar schools ? Whichever way we look, the prospect before us is full of fearful difficulty and anticipation ; and we sincerely hope our evils will nor be immediately agzravatett by arty change in the Administration.—Moreing Chronicle. Nothing in the shape of positive intelligence has reached us respecting the determination of Mini s•ers consequent upon the vote of Friday night, but rumour has been fertile on the occasion, though not quite so contradictory as usual. We have heard from the goddess of many tongues, many things which Ministers intend to do in their present ac knowledged state of embarrassment ; but we have nor heard even upon her loose authority that they intend to retire from office. This is the more sur prising, as they have been known to threaten retire ment before, not only when the Reform Bill was under discussion, but when other subjects less im• portant than the Reform Bill or the demolition of their financial arrangements were about to be de cided by the House. Taking it as we find it, how ever, the silence of rumour as regards retirement, on the present occasion, is not without its significance. ft furnishes a sort of negative evidence that the :•finistry intend io survive their defeat, or perhaps to deny their defeat upon the principle that no Mr. nistry can be said to have fallen so long as they can contrive to sit upright in their places. For this reason we think it likely that Lord Grey and his colleagues will endeavour to hold on, with what prospect of success the next step they resort to will better enable us to conjecture. One of the reports in circu lation was that Ministers would muster their forces for a new division on the malt tax, in the hope of making the House of Commons contradict itself. Another was than they would give it up and supply Its place at once by a property tax. But that which is stated in our city article as obtaining most credit amongst men of business on 'Change, was the sur render both of the matt tax and the assessed taxes, and the raising of five millions of Exchequer bills to supply the deficiency until a proper sub. , titute could be found to replace them. Though something was said of the resignation of Lord Althorp, it did not obtain much credit, and though it if, certain that Lord Grey had more than one interview with his Mi.jesty since the vote of the House of Commons, not one of the speculations founded on those inter views assumed that the Premier had resigned. A few hours will, in all likelihood, disclose to us the ar:t al position of the Mioistry, which at present is any thing but distinct. Candour and manliness may eave them yet. A fair concession to economy may restore them to the confidence they have lost ; but if they refuse to retench, or attempt to shale, their power is at an end, and their charaver as statesmen sacrificed to the folly of manoeuvring against the very measure on which they ought to have rested their fame.—Morning Herald. SECOND EDITION. S UN-OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. 11~ ~' ~;1 ~ 1.0 (. I' t, ~ ~ I,t ~~ til ~ d'. THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord LOWTHER obtained leave to be examined upon a message from the House of Lords to that effect, if he should think fit, before a Railway Committee of the House of Lord. EMBARRASSMENT OF MINISTERS. The House, long b.-fore the Speaker took the chair, was crowded in every corner, and the greatest anxiety pre vailed to hear what was to be said on the subject of the defeat of his Majesty's Ministers on Friday night I tat. The SPEAKER called on Lord AL MORI', and upon his Lordship's rising, there was a general cry of " Order, order," which was responded from the Chair, with a call of " Gentlemen will please to take their places." When silence was obtained, Lord ALT HORP—said I am quite persuaded that every gentleman in the House must be anxious to hear what I wish to state on the present occasion. The decision of the House on Friday being particular, considering the cir cumstances under which it took place, has, as I stated at the time it would. placed Government under great embarrass. ment ; and in taking this question into our consideration, we have telt it desirable to bring the question again to the con sideration of the House, and in such a manner that the whole state of the case may he brought before them, the t they may si , e clearly all the consequences which may take pace occasioned by the proceedine of that night, and come to a decision with their eyes open ; it may be exactly the same as what they earn, to before. Sir, with this view, and believing that this will be the mode which wi'l con duce most to this end, it is my intention to move as an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Baronet for the Coy of London, to-morrow evening this resolution, which I will read now, in order that it may be placed on the votes of the Hints-, th it Hon. Gentlemen may have the opportunity of considering the effect of it ;—" Th it the deficiency of the revenue which would be occasioned by a reduction of the tax on malt to 10.. a quarter, and by the repeal of the taxes on houses and windows could only lie supplied by the substitution of a general tax on property— (Laud and long contined cheering) —and would occasion an extensive change in our whole financial system which would at present be inexpedient."—(Loud cheers, and cries of " No, no.) The Noble Lord having eat down, Mr. SPEAKER called on Lord Althorp again. Lord ALTHORP moved that tae whole House should now resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. His Lord ship said, in moving this, I feel I ought--I don't know whether my Hon. Fri nd for Wolverhampton is present or not—but his motion has precedence of the Hon. Ba ronet's (the Member for the City of London), and I feel that I ought to, as I do, recommend my Honour able Friend to allow the Honourable Baronet to bring forward his motion first, because the circumstances in which we are played, make it in the highest degree--I won't say expedi,nt, but necessary—that a decision should be come to as soon as possible.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITMORE said he bad not the least desire to press unnecessarily hard on the Noble Lord (Althorp); but considering the importance of the subject, he felt that, however reluctantly, he must place himself in competition with the wishes of his Noble Friend, unless he was certain of bringing it forward on some other and an early day. Lord ALTHORP said that, looking at the present state of circumstances, it must be exceedingly inconve- nient if that motion were brought forward tonight; and that it was important that his Hon. Friend should comply with his request to postpone it. He would 10-morrow arrange what day next week it could be brought forward. Mr. WHITMORE, under those circumstances, would agree to postpne his motion. Sir W. INGILBY asked the Noble Lord what he in tended to do respecting the vote which the House had come to last Friday night ? He could assure the House th t he had not brought forward his motion with any view of embrrrassing .Ministers.—(Hear, and laughter.) The resolution having been carried by a majority, ti e manner in which the Noble Lord had taken it up had gon e through the country, and the country expectel that the measure would be carried into effect.—(Hear, hear.) He asked if it was the intention of the Noble Lord to csrry that resolution into effect, or what it was the Noble Lord intended to do? Lord A LTHORP said it was only those gentlemen who were so nut accustomed as his Hun. Friend, who could misunderstand what he (Lord Althorp) had said on Frdiy night.—( Hear.) What he did then say—at all events what he meant to say, and what he believed he did say in so many words, was, that although the question was carried by a very small majority, he would not take advantage of another division the same evening. He felt as other gentlemen, who bad been accustomed to such matters had always f,lt that he might, if he thought proper, divide the House more than once, but he would not take the chance of gentlemen coming in after the first division, in order to obtain a second division. As to what he intended to do, he should have thought that what he had just now said would have rentler,d any explanation ❑nnecessary. The Marquis of CHANDOS rose to express his deep regret to find that there was any intention to get off the vote of the Howe—(Heir, bear)—'m a tnoti in of the greatest importance to the country at large. The House could nut be taken by surprise by the Hon. Baronet's (Sir William Ingillby's) motion.—(Hear, hear. They must have been prepared for it ; but what he most regretted was, that there should be any attempt on the part of a Minister of the Crown in that Reformed House, from which so much was expected, to set aside the vote come to on that occasion. That Members should he they voted them improperly, an-1 that he would give :hem another opportunity of correcting their (Hear, hear.) He begged leave to express his earnest end sincere hope that when the question muss again ..rought forward, the vote would stand as at present. For himself, hp should be ashamed if he should be supposed capable of altering his vote on that important question, so deeply affecting the landed interest. He would rather, in if ed, throw up his seat than at the call of the Minister of the Crown vote directly on the other side.—(Near.) An HON. MEMBER, whose name was unknown in the Gallery, stated that, although he had voted in the majority on this question, he thought tuere were greater interests At stake than the mere repeal of the duty on malt. It was a question of the interests of the institutions Of the country and the stability of the present Adininistr, ttion—( Heat, and some confus,on)_which he considered the on:y ore: which could manage the affairs of the state. Mr. TENNYSON said undoubtedly the Noble Lord (Althorp) was best qualified to give a construction to what he did soy, or intended to say, on the previous occasion now referred to, and although he was ready to accept the e xplanation which had been given, yet, he must say that it was uniformly circulated through the press, that he (Lord Althorp) would, notwithstanding the smallness of the majority, feel it to be his duty to carry the reso lution into effect--( Loud cries of " No, no ;" " Yes, yes.") Gentlemen cried " No," but he should like to know whether those who uttered therm were present.—(Hear ) W Whilst he -hid this in justice to himself, he was bound in justice to the NAhle Lord, to say that he was sa tisfied the Noble Lord did not mean so to express himself, and he was ready to abide by the explanation given the Noble Lord hituself.—(Hear.) With respect to %vita , had faLen from the Hun. Gentleman who just sat down, he must say that lie did not think any question of the kind ought, in a Reformed Parliament, to affct the stability of any Administration. The form er degraded Parliaments w e re more the Privy Council of the Minister than the Repre e i ; t f arrtijaes of the t h on n P ea% Ph' y , and, o f c ourse , w h en th e y differed question he had o nly to gi but at pr , sent the Minist e rs came d own an d told them what sum was wanted, and h o w h e p ropose d to nv r h raise it, Parliament, if it truly represented time popl might fairly say to Ministers, and Ministers would be tamed to listen to them, " we do not wish to be taxed in the particular way you propose, but would prefer another way." For his his own part, he should be ashamed of himself, if being ready to vote for the repeal of the malt tax and of the house and window tax, be were not also ready to vote for a substitute. He could not agree with the Hon. Member for Middlesex that any screwing could make up a six or seven millions deficiency by savings. The utmost that could be saved from the expenditure was one or two millions,— (Hear, hear, hear.) He was, therefore, for one, prepared to agree to a property tax.—(Loud cheers.) So far from thinking that this would be a grievance to the landed interest, he was certain that it would, from the general prosperity that would be diffused throughout the country, be the greatest boon that could be granted it.—(No, no.) If the House rescinded that vote, the House and Window Tax would go with it ; the old system would still go on. —(Hear.) That could never be. He was convinced that the House, to satisfy the country, must come under a complete revision of the financial system of the country. Nothing else would satisfy the people, and no other mea sure could place the people of the country in a prosperous condition.—(Hear.) Mr. ROBINSON had no desire to place the Noble Lord (Althorp) in any delemma, but it appeared to him to be of great importance that it should be understoo I ge nerally what the Noble Lord did say at the close of Friday might. He believed what the Noble Lord stated was, that although the majority was small, yet he certaily felt bound to acquiesce in passing the resolution, or that he should not oppose it, one or the other.—(Hear, hear, laughter, and cries of " No, no.") He should like to ask the House in what situation they should be to-mor row, when the Noble Lord came down and proposed the resolution of which he had given notice. He did not complain of that resolution, he thought it right to put the question on its right issue, but he agreed with the Honourable Member who had spoken last, that it was extremely impolitic for Members to call for reducing a taxation rs ithout supp . ying the means from some other source of supplying those reductions. He was glad that Ministers hid taken a d fferent course ; it was right the country should know what the House was about, and he th iught the vote of to mm row night would go far to bear out that point.—(Hear.) He would wish to put to the Government and the House the situation in which the Hou e would be placed by adopting the resolution the Notile Lord in. tended to propose to-morrow night. If the House agreed to that resolution, it would be justly said th at a House of Commons consisting of 300 Members and odd, had voted fur the repeal of part of the burdens of the country, and that that vote had been brought before them the second time for the purpose of re vision, the necessary and unevitable consequence of that revision would be that the po'p'e would say, a House of Commons consisting of not more than forty Members could • gree to votes to burthen the people without having these votes revised ; but whether a House of Commons, consisting of 300 Illonliers, had voted for the relict of the burthens of the people, that vote must be subjected to re vision. —(Hear.) It would have a tendency to bring the House of Commons into disrepute with the people. Is conclusion, the HOO. Member most solemnly invoked the House to p iuse well before it came to any decision —to consider well what would be the undoubted and inevitable consequence of overturning the vote of Friday night. An Hog. MEMBER declared that he was very attentive to what fell from his Noble Friend ; lie was close beside him at the time, and understood his explanation to he precisely in the terms now states/ by hitn to the House.— ( Hear, hear.) He believed the mistake must have ,risen in consequence of a misapprehension by Hon. Gentlemen of the m inner in whie i the qbsstion tv,s put.---(Hear, hear.) That the words now read bs added to the motion, was an entirely seperare question. Anti it was on the putting of these that his Noble F• iend addies-ed the Heuse.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was himself much surprised at the interpretation given to his Noble Friend's explanation by a certain channel of information, wnich he read on the following morning.—(H-ar ) He did not think that because 162 Members of that House had come to a certain resolution, that the remainder or the 680 were not to be permitted to have an opiniou.—(Hear, hear, hear.) There were many opportunities in which that opi. nion might be expressed; and he did not consider that he was, himself, comprised in a future discussion, by the vote he had given on Friday last.—(Hear, hear.) After the vote was decided, the words which fell upon his ear from the lips of the Nook Lord were these :sea'. That the vote had placed the Government in a state of corral. d erable embarrassment ; but, after the vote to which the House had come, he could not think of offering any op position to the carrying of it into effect."—(Cries of " No, no.") He was ready to accept the explanation of the Noble Lord, but he was sure these were the words.-- (Oh, oh.) He would make only one other observation, hich was, that he trusted the Ministry had well con sidered the consequences of the proceeding of which they had given notice. Other motions fir rescindins the de cisions of the House would be made. He, for one, was disposed, if such a principle was adopt d, to move that the reselutions come to upon his motion a few evenings ago, he rescinded, and he ca led upon the Government to pause before they opened air wide a dour. He was quite satisfied that the proceeding, if adopted, would lead to great changes in the conduct of the House, and he dreaded the manlier in which it was likely to be received by the country at large. He would again call on the Ministty to consider of the consequences of their intentions, if car ried into effect—to consider it further and well, before forcing it upon the aitention of time House. After a few observations from Mr. I3ENETT, which were inaudible in the Gallery, Mr. HALL DARE said he had not had the good fortune to be present on Friday night, but he concurred ith the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton, that after the decision on that night, notwithstandine the explanation of the Noble Lord as to his mean ing on that particular question, it would be a bad precedent if an attempt were made to rescind a vote to which the Huse bad deliberately come.—( Hear, hear.) Toe Noble Lord had called upon the House to look with their eyes open on the event of that vote being confirmed by the House. As an indeperiOent .Member of the House, he was prepared to look at the subject with his eyes open. 3 He was prepared to vote a property tax— and to consider the existing taxation of the country; for lie elieved that a property tax was the most equitable, and that it was fitting that those having property to protect should contribute the more to the exigencies of the State.—(Hear, hear.) Ile agreed with the Hon. Member for Lambeth that, if the malt tax were reduced, it was no reason that time revenue should be so much ditninished..-- (Hear,should h i e , e a r ) It in int m ta i v ne s d _ also necessary a faithry thatshould h o u t l de be revenue kept with the public creditor, and that the establishments of the country should also be maintained. Looking, how ever, at our foreign policy—at the state of our foreign relations—at the state of the east of Europe—at our %Vest India. colonies—and at the unfortunate state of Ireland— (Cries of " Oh, oh, " " Question ")—looking at all those interests, be thought the Noble Lord could not , ii-pence with the present amount of taxation.— Cries of " Question.") He was perfectly ready to vote for a property tax as a substitute for the malt tax. As to the malt tax, he should it he hat been present, have voted :or the 'notion of the Hon. Barr.(Sir W. Ingleby) but he shout r have dune sir with regret only considered it a half messure. He, for one, should be perfectly prepared to vote for the alternative suggestion of the Noble Lord.—(Hear.) Mr. BARING, as far as he was concerned, would not give encouragement to further discussion on the mait tax. But having been one of those who thought it fit to vote in favour of the reduction of the malt duty, he thouget it pro per to say, that the decd aration of the Noble Lnrd, as it struck 'lm, might have been taken by Hon. Gentlemen either to mean one teing or t: a other.—Laughter.) He meant hat the Noble Lord, when he declared lie should abide by be resolution meant that he either would not negative it on tee second resolution tieing put from the char, or that Government would abide by it. The declamation might with nut stretch, have been interpreted either way. But no gen ileinan could suppose that time Noble Lard meant, without c onsultation of his colleagues, to bind Gevernment as to the eimrse they would take on so important a question ( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord ha i given his notice our to-marrow, anti the thing lie proposed was, would they have the relief of the malt tax, and the house end window t ax , an d were t h ey prepare d to -eke in eU' stitution of them, a tax on property and income; not a tax on property or income, but a tax on property and income. Undoubtedly that Was a question most important tor the country to consider, and if he had any objection to it, it was the short notice that hail been given. He was perfectly aware that the case might be considered one , i f pressure, and especially as the worthy Alderman's motion stool for to-morrow. But the question had never been fairly put to the [louse, and most unfeignedly he coo d not see how it could properly be discussed. With great re luctauce, should he be brought, within 21 hours notice, to deter miue a question of such conclusive importance to the uture happiness and prosperity of the country. He was round to say . , he n ever saw muc h w i s d om i n a commutation of tithes. He thought that altogether visionary and replete with danger, mis 'lief and loss, especially where there were great, multilarious, and complicated intercom to be taken Into consideration. He complained ' then, that within 24, hours' notice, the House was to be brought to a division on this most important subject. In fact he thought the reduction of the Malt Tar, for which he voted on Friday, 'night have been afforded without bringing on the necessity of a general commutation ; but even allowing that it were put to him distinctly, would be have the malt duty re duced and a property tax imposed, or the malt duty be left alone, he should certainly say, leave the malt duty alone—(Hear, hear)—and spare him the property tax.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir R. PEEL said he should follow the example of his Honourable Friend and postpene giving any detailed - opinion upon the great question which was to come on for discussion to-morrow niut, till the proper time arrived. He would observe, however, with respect to the even which had brought on this conversaton that if he Lad been present on Friday night, which acci dent prevented him being, he should have given his de cided opposition to the proposal of reducing the malt tax. He would have none that, not because he did not entertain a sincere desire to see that tax abated, if possible, but because he shouid have looked forward to tha consequences of that abatement—he should have looked forward to its bearing on the question of commu tation—to its bearing on the question of the corn laws—( Hear, hear)—to its bearing on the question of a substitution of a property tax. The suluvitutian of a property tax would lead to a comple revolutio❑ in the whole of our fivancial system—(Hear) and he would not consent to inflict an injury upon the public creditor bp the repeal of any tax till he fit assured of obtaining a substitute.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He must say, that he certainly did entertain serious doubts of the success of any attempt to establish a property and income tax in lieu of any other taxes whatever.— (Hear, hear.) He did not mean to say that vir tually to rescind a vote of the House come to one night on another was a course free from evil, but it would be a far greater evil to maintain the doctrine that questions of such immense importance could be finally determined by a House, consisting of only half the number of the whole House, being present.—Hear, bear.) What were all their regulations for respecting the diff rent stages measures must pass through if it were not to guard against something else than surprise? He wts bound to say there had bier no surprise on this occasion, and that Honourahle Members ought to have been present to discharge their duty, but the r regulations were not only intended to guard against sur prise, but against the effect of sudden itnpulaes. Wr at he had said was probably enough for Honourable Members to inter what his general opinion was with respect to a property-tax, but that question involved questions of such magnitude, that he should abstain from entering into them till to.morrow evening. Lord ALTHORP said that an Hon. Friend of his bad objected to the shortness of the notice he had given for the motion he intended to bring forward, but when his Hon. Friend considered the situation in which the affairs of the country were placed, whilst a question of the kind s•ood over, he was sure he would see that the notice was any thing but too short. (Hear, hear.) The resolution which he had read to the House most dis• tinctly stated, that it wood at present he inexpedient. I bAn HON OU RA BLS MEMBER, who spoke out t f sight wades the gallery, said, that as a sincere fr end to the Ministry, he would intreat them to come forward oftener, and state more at large their vies on great public questions, especially ae th re were so m rIJV of the new Members who were not so well acquainted wi k the bearing of suer , questions as older Members. Lord EBRINGTON said tile Noble Lord opposite could not have heard the speech of his N.fbie Friend below him (Lord Althorp) on the occo3ion to which h. had alluded, for he bad then moat distinctly expressed his opinion of the inexpediency of a property tax.—(Hear, hear, and cheers,) He (Lord E.) had had the advantage of sitting next his Noble Friend on that evening, and the iu.pres sion on his mind of what tell rum him, was that in his opinion such a tax would be must inexped'ent.—(Hear.) Although he (Lord Ettrington) certainly un lerstood vaat his Nobl-• Friend said, hi• Ft lend did not, perhaps, a a e what he had to say in terms •uficiently clear, but cot fitly not so ambiguously as to bear the c ustruction that had been put upon it.— (Cheers, and cries of " Question.") LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF LORDS. On the Earl of SHAFTESBURY taking his sea: on the woolsack a few minutes aft, r five o'clock, he presented a petition from Dorchester, for the repeal of the house and window taxes. The Bishop of HEREFORD presented petitions against slav,ry. Several private Bills were brought up from the Com mons, and read a first time. Lord SUFFIELD pre•ented 50 petitions for the total and immediate exrinetion of slavery. Lord LYNDHURST ♦,resented a petition from York, against th- Local Courts Bi.l. Lord SUFFIELD now rose to pees nt a petition from Uptoreter on the subject of tithes. The petitioners com plaint d, fi:st, that the greatest p,as•ible inconvenience was infl eted upon the tithe-payers ; and, secondly, that these tithes were not appropriated fur the religious instruction of the people.—(Hear, hear.) His Lordship w.at in o a short statement of the hardships to which the pe titioners were subj-cted, and stated that thought the tithes were large, therorate was paid on/y2Ol. per annum. The Earl of ELDON deprecated the way in which the clergy were attackea, and unjustly attacker►, and the moo ner in which they were opposed in the collection of their incomes. The petitioners bought their estates subject to the payment, and now they endeavuurtd to throw off that payment. He could not see how any conscious man (mild take such a course. He would mention also that he should oppose vet.einently tl e bill which he understood woo d shortly be introduced to them, which proposed to levy a tex upon the income of the cl.r t ry. The Bishop of BRISTOL defended the Dean and Chap er of Windsor, the impropriators of the tithes. The tithes were leased to a Gentleman, who resided in Suffolk, and the Dean and Chapter only received about 271., and, until the lease was renewed, could not augment the income of the incumbent, though perfectly aware of that hardship. The Earl of RADNOR said, that with respect to the frequent attacks upon the clergy, the petitioners thought they were subjected to hardships which ought to be remedied—they ought to present a petition, in order that that grievance might be remedied, if possible. Lord ROSYLIN presented petitions from Plympton, and other places, for the repeal of the house and window tax. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath. The Earl of ABERDEEN? presented a petition from tl e Physicians' College. Edinburgh, and irom the Royal Col lege of Surgeons, Aberdeen, agrinst the Apothecaries' Act. The Noble Earl pos , p inert his motion on the mut - ject of the French expedition to Algiers till Friday r ext. The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented a considerable number of petitions againstslaveryfromßishop' s Auckland, and other places in Durham. The Earl of RADNOR presented a petiticn from a parish in Sussex, complaining that in consequence of the ti hes being levied in kind, the cultivation of hops had very materially decreased. The Bishop. of CHICHESTER said he was as de sirous as any man that the tithes should not be taken in kind. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from the parish of Holy Trinity, in the City of Cork, protesting against the appropri,ition of the Church funds to any but Church purposes. The people were sot prised a Protestant gentlemen should propose to despoil a Protestant church in the manner proposed in the Irish Church Bill ; also a petition front the glazier., butchers, and drovers, in the habit of attending the fair of Skipton, praying fur the ',ever observance of the Sabbath. A NOBLE LORD presented a petition from Belfast, praying for the introduc , ion of poor-laws into Ireland. Esti FIITZWILLIAII presented petitions for the abolition of s avery, front Kingston upon Hull, signed by 6 000 persons, 3lalton, Hull, Ripon, and from places in Northamptonshire. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the first reading of a Bill for establishing Labour Rate (as we under,tood.) The &shop of LONDON suggested that tl e second reading should be po tponed till the report of the Commission rs of the Poor Laws was laid before the House, was acquiesced its by the Duke of Richmond.
