BENCH PAPERS. (From Galignernis Messenger of Tuesday. March 19.) PARIS, MARCH 19.—1 t is positively stated that Admi ral Roussin is recalled, his conduct towards the Divan, respecting the Ru-sian ft -et, having been considered by 'the Cabinet of the Tuileries as too peremptory. T e late visits of Count Pow) di Borgo to the Duke of Broglie, are sup posed to relate to the mark of di-grace. The Admiral may now j•dn General Goilleminot, and there nceive con , olation for having misinterpreted his instructions. Our diph , maties in tie East have been singularly un• fort u nate.

(From the Journal des Debots of Tueschy.) PARIS, MARCH S.—We received tnm Auzsburg, anther lever (translated from the Allgemeine Zeitting of 15th March) fro:n Cid - istantinople, of 24th February. It cohfirm• all the facts contrnel in the letter that we published the day before yesterd,y. and which was sent to us direct by our rorresp ,ndent at Pisa . _ . " CONSTANTINOPI:E, FEB. 21 —Admiral Roussin arrived to-re the day hefore yesr rday (the 221). he jai medively had an interview wi-h the Reis Effendi, to whom he declared, in the rest positive manner. that his Go vernment would regret if the Porte, in the present unhappy conflict, made use of the actual support of any foreign power. lie therefore required the immediate departure of the Russian fl et. which had ancliorel twelve hours hr for e in the Bosphorus. He threatened to depart with the wl.nle French Legrion, it the spa Iron did not imme diately prepare to set sail, and if the Sudan should act under any other influence than the moral protection that France offered him. Though M. Varennes, the French Charge d'Affaires, had before made represen tations to the same eff ct, and the Porte had sled .red its readiness to consider of his portals, it could riot, without first consultiog the Russian Plenipoten'iaries, decline the aid which it had itself asked for, and of which, in these critical circumstances, it seemed to have much need. The Sultan, therefore, resolved personally to ex press to Generals Butenieff and Muravieff his wish that the •Russian fleet should withdraw as soon as was practi cable. He sent for these gentlemen, and thanked them for the readiness of Russia in lending her aid, hut said lie thought he had now no need of it, and requested that the Russian fleet might be ordered away immediately. Singu lar as this altered language necessarily appeared to the Russian Plenipotentiaries, who a few days before enjoyed the entire confidence of the Sultan, and had heard from the Reis Effendi the greatest commendations of the mag nanimous conduct of the Emperor Nicholas, they could not refuse to comply with a desire, the neglect tf which would have been a violation of the sove• reign rights of an allied Power. They therefore de clared that the wish of the Sultan should be immediately complied with, and gave the necessary circlets to the Ad miral for the departure of the fleet. Most of the Russian ships have already left the Bosphorus, and the others will sail without delay. Soon after these arrangements, Ad miral Roussin, accompanied by his dragoman, went to the Reis Effendi, and signed with him a convention, whidhi has already been approved by the Sultan. It is said to contain the fo lowing stipulations:—that the Porte, in the present critical circumstances, shall wholly rely on the friendly interest of France, and formally promise not to yield to any other influence, in order to settle the diffe rences with the Pacha of Egypt. On the other hand, France engages to the Porte to guarantee its existence, which is necessary to the balance of power in Europe; and, to secure it against inadmissible demands, France will con sider it as its duty to make Alehetnet Ali renounce his exor bitant pretensions, and content himself with the pachalirk of St. Jean d'Acre. If he rejects this proposal, the Porte will have the support, not only of France, but of England. It must be added, that the British Charge d'Affaires has acted entirely in concert with Admiral Roussin, and has approved this convention, though he has not signed it. It is a kind of offensive and defensive alliance between the Porte and France. (From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.) PARIS, MARCH 18.—The Journal des Debuts sayb, that Admiral Roussin's representation envied the departure of the Russian fl-et from Constantinople. According to the account published by the Austrian Observer, on the 10th of March, the Reis Etr,ridi, on re ceiving the nests of the Viceri.y's having ordered his son to suspend his march, had already asked tie Russian Admi ral to return before Admiral Roussin arrived. It is also singular enough, that just when we are told in Fiance that Adsniral Ruissin, by Lis energetic remonstrances, obtained the dismissal of the Russian fl , et, the Journal of St. Petersburyh represented the success of the in tervention of Russia as complete, adding, th .t as soon as the Sultan shall declare to the Emperor that the reasons which induced him to ask hi+ assistance no longer exist, the squadron will be ordered to retire to Sebastopol, and the march of the troops by land will be suspended." BRUSSELS PAPERS. Baussins, Maitcit 17.—Their ALtjesties, with their august teLitions, and a numerous suite, went yesterday to Louvain, when the King reviewed the troops.

MARCH 13.—We hive just received by express the Austrian Übserrer of the 10th, which con tains the following article:— " VIENNA, MARcit 9.—We have just received by ex press accounts from Constantinople of the 24 , th F bruary. The events, which may be considered as certain, consist in the following facts:—On the 15th February a Tartar arrived in 15 days from Alexandria, he was the bearer of the first news from ft , ffit Halil Paella, as well as of a letter from Mehemet Ali Pacha to the Sultan himself. " On the receipt of these despatches the It is Effendi applied to the Russian Envoy, requesting him to suspend the departure of 0 e squadron at Seb -topol, the aid of which has been solicited by the Sultan, as the presence of This squadron was nut necessary at the moment; he re quested, however. that the fl-et might be kept in readiness to sail. M. Von lintenhff immesli.tely acceded to this request; hut what was to be expected took place. The squadron, composed of four ships of the line, four frigates, and a brig, was seen on th e 20th at the entrance of the Risphorus, and anchored near Bujuktlere the same day. According to the accounts from A-ia Minor, lorahim's at my had not advanced a step since he had received his father's orders, and he had even made his head quarters retrograde from Kiutaltia to Katahissar, on the road to Koniah. Meantime, the Dew French Am'as:ador, Admiral Roussm, landed a' Ginstantinople. After several con ferences with the Divan, the latter signed the peace be tweets Mehemet Ali and the Porte, on the terms which it had itself proposed. Couri-rs with this news have this moment set out for Ibrahim's head-quarters, and for Alex mdria. According to the arrangement made between the Divan and the Russian envoy, the fleet which came to the ail of the capital of the Ottoman empire, waits only for a south wind to quit the Bo , phorus, and to proceed till farther orders to the port of Siesboli. The Sultan ha. already given orders to admit it there. —Journal de Frankfort, March 14. LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, FEB. 27.—The official part of the Gazette of Lisbon contains-1.

An order of the day, dated from tee head quarters in the Palace of Braga, Feb. 20, with the copy ot . a Prpd brief, allowing the individuals accompanying the army of operation to eat meat during Lent, so lung as they are employed in the defence of these kingdoms. FEBRUARY 28.—The siege of Oporto daily becomes more vigorous i❑ con:equence of the well directed fire with which the batteries continue to harass the rebels. T. the :hardships of war are added those that result from the in clemency of the weather, which has latterly been such Oat any vessel approaching the coast is in danger of being dashed to pieces on the rocks.. I❑ the vicinity of the Ca traded° there were lately found the remains of a wreck, with some dead bodies >lurting on the waves, or cast on shore. It is also said, that the rebels have lost a steam boat off Villa da Conde, it having been damaged not only by the bad weather, but also by the fire of our troops. 'l he fort of Cabadello inspires great terror into the rebels, our artillery firing both in the direction of La Fez and the sea. The fortifications of the krryalists on the north bank, have been advanced with such activity and zeal, that they are now within uru•ket shot of Fort La According to a letter written row Villa Nova de Gaia, dated the 19th of this month, the passage from Oporto to La Foz is interrupted in consequence of the erection of a great battery in Lordello, and one in front on the side of that town. The troops that occupy the battery of Paranhos deserve the highest praise for the valour and skill with which, in the combat of the 14th, they attacked the rebels posted to the Fatuica da Sola. Sickness continues to prevail in Oporto, -where 14 persons daily flll victims to the disorder. The accumulation of an many evils has re duced the rebels to a 'state of devei anon, of which it is not easy to form an idea, e , peciaily when they recollect the malady which affl ets them is another ;:ift at liberalism.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MOSUMENT.--We have authority to state that, at a tneeting of the committee charged with the details of this projected trinute to the me mory of our great poet, it was resolved that on no acottnit should there he entertained any proposal for diverting the funds to any othtr ohject than the architectural decoration of this city. The present amount. of tu::scription is about 1,1001, and, as soon as the sum of 2,0001. is subscribed, the committee will consider themselves authorized to ad vertise for architectural desi2ns, and to proceed to the exe cution of the work.— Glasgow Courier. The nomination of candidates for the Western Division of Comb• rland took place on Monday list at Coeket mouth. The candidates were Alt.. ItcroN (an ricer of the Lowthers), and Major AGLIoNIIY, a Re tormer. Mr. Ittwm, of Calder Abhey. proposed the former gentleman, and Sir WILFRID LAWSON, of Bruyton the la ter. Tie polling is to commence this day at Cockermowh. It is rumoured that Count MATuszEwic is about t proceed to St. Petersbuigh, fi , r the purpose of en deavourinV, to relieve himself of the diplomacy at Dresden, arid, in the event of hi+ slicers-, the Count will return, iind fix his foiure residence in this o.untry as a priva•e indi vidnal. It is well known that the Count is pas•i .n itely find of the sports of the field, and to Melton (where he keeps a large stud) he is particular'y attached. A report prevails that at no distant.peried Prince Lz KVEN will be re called, and should that event take place, Count MATuszK. wic would be a candidate to succeed him. The princely and splendid mansion, Belvoir Castle, has prevented one continued scene of hospitality since . the Noble Duke's birthday in January. The names of the individuils who dine at the Castle are invariably written down, and from this list it appears that, in the course of the la-t, eight wetks, sixteen thousand persons, including servants, hive been hospitably en!ertaineo within the walls of, Belvoir. Four far. oxen and fourteen fat sheep have been slaughtered each week, besides venison, birds, hares, and fish. The number of barrels of strong ale emptied (eight hogsheads to the barrel), is immense; whilst seven hundred and twenty six hogsheads (or forty five thousand seven hundred and thirty eight gallons). re main untapped. The individual having the care of the lamp-room, a singular, but well-conducted department, has had to clean and put away on each night, alter the family retired to rest, four' bundled lamps—and the nightly consumption of oil has been from 10 to 12 gallon-. The St. George left the Downs on Monday for Oporto, with 300 French soldiers, ammunition, an.; other warlike stores ; and in a day or two, other vesses will proceed for the s.me destination, with the rest of the French troops, who altogether will amount to 1,500. We have also learned that the bruther of one of the prin cipal agents of Don PEDRO in this country, sailed yester day morning from Portsmouth to Oporto, with very imp-rt.nt despatches for the Government. All this does not look as if the affairs of Dun PEDRO were considered by those whom we must presume well informed on the subject at an end. The fact, also, of the Alediterraneao packet leaving Vigo on the 12th instant, a port. which is hardly a d..y's voyage or post from Oporto, and being silent altogether about the reported capitu ation, proves that affairs there are not in such a desperate state as it has been asserted. On the 22d February, the Lord of the Ides landed a, the Fuz the troops and passengers she had on board, and ever since, that steamer and the Lona on Merchant have been plying between Vigo and Oporto, with provision, and ammunition. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Ithßur 21. On the LORD CHANCELLOR taking his seat on the Woolsack, at five o'clock, The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented a peti , ion from the inhabitants of the city of Rochester, praying for the better ob , ervance of th'. Lord's Day. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from a parish in Cheshire to the same effect. Lord KING presented a petition from Donnllee, in the county of Cork, praying for the abolition of tithes and church cess ; and a petition from the Dissenters of Chi chester, praying for the better observarxe of the Sabbath. Lord SUFFIELD said, that he had to present a p..ti ti,n from a Member of the other House of Parliament (Mr. Hope J hnstone), praying their Lordships to take into consideration his claim to the Annandale Peeraee, which had been before their House on a former occasion, and to fix an early day for that purpose. Lord BELHAVEN presented a petition from a parish in Perthshire, for the h.tter Aservance of the Sabbath. The Bishop of EXETER presented petitions to the same tff ct from the city of Exeter, and the boroughs of Truro. Liskeard, and Honiton. Lord PLUNKET said that he rose pursuant to notice he had given to I,y taeore their Lordships a Bill for the better empannelling of Juries in Ireland. It must he in the recollection of their Lordships that a Bill had been presented to the Housa and read a first time ; but a Sele t Committee having he. n appointed to consider it, the re sult was, that that Committee suggested that the opinion of the Learned Judges in Irel Ind should b e e .;,k t , a n k , e a n nd up t i l l ) : it. In consequence of that, the Secretary for Ireland had thought it hi s d u ty t o ac t u p on th a t Stlt'g Judges had declared themselves to lie in favour of some parts of the Bill, and opposed to other parts, some of which were very mated il. Great attention had been paid to the opinions of the Judgeot, which No , le Lords would see upon locking at the 13111. On the first reading it was not necessary to anticipate any discussion, but it would be reserved to the second reading. He, however, should, af , er laying the Bill on the table, move that it be printed. He would now say a few words upon the Bill. It consoli d ited the existing- laws respectingjories, to in eke he law of Ireland as much lik • to the law at present existing in England as the difference of the two countries would admit of. On reference to the qualification clause, it would he found that it had been framed so as to adapt the qualification of Jurors in behind as much as possible to that which prevailed in this country, and so far as the qualification was concterned, it had received the entire ap irohation of the judges. The qualification for jurors in counties was a freehold estate of 151. or one of the same amount upon a lease of 21 years, for cities, household.rs, or persons possessing personal estate to the amount of 1001. With respect to the return of Jurors he would now state what the plan proposed was. In England, the overseer of the poor furnished the return, but in Ireland their Lordships need not be told that there was no such public officer. The nearest substitute of that officer was the barony cess collector. These officers made the rate, and were acquainted with the nature and extent of the ;.iroperty in each barony. The Learned Judges were of opinion that these persons were not the best qualified for returning Jurors; but, at the same time, they had not suggested any other person as their substitute. The Judges, however, had entertained some misapprehension as to their objections, which had been since removed. By the former B II it wasrequired that pub lic notic- shou'd be given in the barony of the persons qua lified to •erve on jut ies, by having a list of names posted tip on the church or chapel doors. This, however, was deemed objectionable—(Hear)—and all that was required of the baronial collector now was, that he should furnish a list of jurors to the clerk of the peace, and the latter officer was required to furnish the town clerk of the cly or tiwn to which the lists applied with a copy. The justices of the sessions had the lists to revise, and it was after this correction had been made that the bironial officer had to transmit it to the clerk of the peace. By the present Bill the power of the sheriff as to , he pannel was not altered. There was only another point which he (Lord Plunket) felt it requisite to state to their Lordships on the present occasion, and that was in reference to special juries. By Sir Robert Peel's Bill upon this subject a power was given in all criminal cases, such as informations under penal Statutes, and in all cases short of fel , ny, to authorize a special jury being empannelled, on application to the Court of King's Bench of either the party prosecuting or the person against whem the prosecution was brought. The present Bill adopted that course wi h some qualifica tion. T• e sheriff was to form his list of special jurors rum a return furnished in the way described. All per sons were qualified to become special jurors who were the sons of Peers ; all Baronets, Knights, Magistrates, and persons qualified for the office of grand jurors, and merchants not dealing in retail trade ; and it there were not then sufficient to form a special jury, the sheriff was to take the number wanting rum the common jury list. The jury were not to he struck tiff by the officer of the Cow t, but balloted for, their names being put in a box and drawn not, as was done in cases tried by common Juries at Nisi Prius ; and from that ballot the special Jury were to tie formed. There were other matters of minor importance, altera tions of doe 811 of last Sessions; but he need not detain their Lordships now in stating them ; they formed matter rather for the second reading. The Noble and Learned Lord th , n concluded with moving that the Bill be read a first time, and printed, and read a second time on that day se'nnight. Earl RODEN hoped that the second reading would not be taken quite so early, for there were Noble Lords who might wish to he present who were now in Irel and. Lord PLUNKET said lie would certainly name another day—viz. Monday se'nnight. Earl WICKLOW said, that it gave him great satisfac tion to find that this Bill was much improved front that of last year. It gave him much greater s.tisfaction to find .hat it was founded upon the opinions of the Judges of Ireland. Lord WYNFORD wi-herl to know how the iitulitica tion of the merchant was limited, or what was to be con sidered under the term merchant? Lord PLUNKET said a merchant who did not cirry on a retail trade was qua ified, provided he possessed orofer tue law those qualifications which had been already men tioned. The Bill Wai then read a first time, and ordered to be printed ; and Monday se'nnight fixed for the sect nd reading. Petitions for the abolition of slavery were presented by V 1.00,11 1, MELBOURNE .nd Earl FITZWILLIAM. Earl FITZWILLIAM moved that an abstract be laid before their Lordships of the prie.s of wheat and forei,n corn, made by his Majesty's Consuls, from 1826 to the latest period.—Ordered. Their Lordships then adjourned. H" USE OF COMMONS, MARcIr 21. The House met at a qu irter to four o'clock, and pro ceeded to ballot for Committees to try the merits of peti.

Captiin GRONOW brought in a Bill for the better regulation of the market at D afford, in Somerset. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. Lord ALTHORP wished to know whether it was the intention of the Hon. Member for Birmingham to perse vere in his motion on the subject. Mr. T. ATTWOOD considered that he stated it to be his duty to do so. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY said that when the Hon. Member for Birmingham had had es much experience in that House as he had, he was sure that when a subject of so much importance as that now before the House was under consideration, he would not press his motion. He admitted that the motion of which he had given notice was of more importance than any that had hitherto I), en called to the attention of the House, hut in the situation the House now s•ood, he felt perfectly convinced that it would not meet from it that attention it deserved, and which the Hon. Member was entitled to cl dm for it. EL- implored the Hon. Member, therefore, for the sake cf his own constituency as well as his, to postpone the mo tion till the Irish C'evcive Bill had pissed that House, REPEAL OF THE DUTIES ON MALT AND HOPS. Sir WILLIAM INGILBY considered that the people of England had as much right to he heard in that House as the people of Ireland. The motio❑ of which he had g.ven notice was of no less interest to the agriculturists of Engl trul, than the Bill now under consideration was to the people of Ireland. With all due deference, therefore, to the Noble Lord, he felt called upon to bring forward his motion. Hiving taken up the question of the duties on malt, be would say that, in his opinion, it was one of the most vital questions at this moment that could be introduced to the notice t.f she House. Toe SPEAKER asked whether it was the Hon. Ba ronet's intention to proceed with his notice or not. Sir WILLIAM INGILBY said, undoubtedly he did mean to p rsevere in it. LORD ALTHORP said he could not ask the Hon. Baronet to postpone his motion on the same ground that he isked the H-.n. Member for Birmingham. Sir E KNATCHBULL felt deeply interested in the success of tu•e question, hut feared much th.t the agri cultural interests of the country would he prejudiced by the Hun. Baronet persevering in his motion under the prevent circumstances in which the House was placed, which would prevent the subject front receiving that con sideration to which it was entitled. Sir W. INGILBY could not understand on what greunds his lion. Friend (Sir E. Knatchlaull) could think that his bringing forward the question at present with the Noble Lord's (Althorp's) permission, could prejudice the interest of agriculture. He leaped hr should, hi the course of the short time he should take t: e liberty of addressing the House, make out such a case as would induce the Noble Lord from his generosity to the country, to takeoff the whole of this oppressive t ax on the agriculture of the country. The first !twice he had of the malt tax was in the reign of William 111., who laid the beginning of the evils of the c 'untry in the oppression of the malt tax. From that time d awn to the reign of George 111., the tax had gone on incleesing till it arrived to that memorable period when war was directed against the litter ies of France, and when the tax on malt and the wholesome beverage of Euglish men was raised to the enormous sum of ss. a bushel, or 24 a quarter. Then, in addition to all this, there were the taxes in the shape of excise laws, which wee. a system of tyranny and oppression. (Hear, hear.) In the county of Norfolk, according to the returns, which he supposed were correct, the barh-y at present was no more than 20s. a quarter ; but before this barley could be made into malt and brewed into good beer it costs upwards of SI. His county was a very large barley county ; it produced, according to the last re turns, upwards of 500,000 quarters of barley a year, and at this rate, therefore, the tax was moat ruinous :and oppressive to the agriculture of the country. He hoped that Government would take it into cons,deration, and grant them a remission of the tax. Without re ferring more to calculations which might be dis puted, and which might not lead ultimately to any exact result, he would only take a view of this tax, and leek at it in a moral point of view. If any thing was calculated to brutalize the country it was, in his opinion, the tax on malt The farmers could not now, as they were won', brew their own wholesome beverage, and the servants and boys were driven from their houses to those celebrated places in modern times called Tom and Jerry shops, in place of holding company with what, in his young days, was called the good association of Sir John Bar leycorn. He thought it was a duty the country owed to the farmers of England, to abolish this tax. Almeover, it was a duty which the country owed to itself ; for there were scattered over the country a number of beer-shops, the owners of which were here to-day and there to- morrow, and who could not command credit enough, when they were known, to obtain the worth of the six or eight gallons of beer they got smuggled into their houses ; and who, their houses being under no control of the magis tracy, made them the refuge of all the thieves and vagabonds in their neighbourhood. He had no hesitation in saying that, hail tne Legislature set itself to devise the measure most calculated to brutalize the people, they could net Lave found any thing more fit for their purpose than this Beer Ball. With respect to the question of hops, which still stood upon the notice, he wished to abandon that part of the motion, for be had had some conversation with R.- ntleinen Irom the counties where hops were gown, and they seemed to wish that subject left to themselves. He knew he could not leave it in better hands than those of the gentlemen from Kent, from Sussex, and trout where ever hops Caine, and would only therefore observe, that if they got malt duty free, hops would follow as a matter of course—(Hear, hear ; and laughter)—for without hops it was impassible to brew good beer.—(Continued laughter.) When both these objects had been attained, they might lope to see an end of those pestilential places the beer-shops, to the haunters of which many of the firings which had taken place in Lincolnshire could be traced. In the evidence given btfute a Committee of this House, in 1828, it was stated that fifty years ago there was scarce a labouring man in England who del not brew his own beer.—( Hear.) But now he woulu say, show him the labourer in England who did brew his own beer. How dreadful must have been the overwhelming effect of the enormous taxation which weighed the country down, that, in the cuurse of 50 years, instead of finding a barrel of ale in a snug corner in every labourer's cottage, nut one labourer could be pointed out who had anything of the kind. fie saw his Hon. Friend opposite smile at t.ae picture he drew, but he did not think he could con tradict the facts he had advanced. No one could have hat greater experience than he had had of the rural po pulation. It was by the friendship and exertion of a large agricultural class, in a very extensive district of the country, that he now stood in that House. He had mixed exclusively for the last six months with the agricultural populetion, and knew what agricultural distiess meant. Could his Hon, Friend say that he had had the same expe -1 aence ? He sew a tremendous agitation in some parts of the country. It they did not take care, that agitation would come into Etigiand.—(llear, hear.) Parliament might grind the people down to the dust, but the time would come when the people must have their grievances redressed. They must have wholesome loud—they must have wholesome raiment--wholesome di ink—and it they were to be pulverised by taxation, then would they begin to agitate, like Irishmen—(Hear, hear)—and we should have the blessing of courtsmartial established among us.—(Hear, hear.) It was with this view he was desirous of pressing the present motion, and he looked upon this as a subject of the greatest importance, and he ti .d touch pleasure in committing it to the hands of the House. He hoped the Hun. Aleneber fur Kent would do his euty on this occasion—his duty to the subject, and his duty to hie constituents. He (Sir Willia h) flattered himself that he should have that Hun. Member's powerful aid, and not only his, but the aid of every gentleman who belonged to England, who liked to see his pea sant; y living in peace and comfort under him, and, instead of frequenting ale houses, and Tom and Jerry shop., being able to drink his own beer in peace at his own fireside. He moved that the malt tax be repealed, and banded smell piece of paper to the Clerk of the House. The SPEAKER having had the piper shown to him, asked the Hon. Member if he would be so good as read but motio❑ Sir INGILBY having gone down to the table, and taken the paper into his hand, read aloud—" Let the malt tax be repealed."—(Loud !aught r.) The motion was then amended, and stood thus—' For leave to bring in a Bill for the repeal of the malt tax." Major BEAUCLERK wished his Hon. Friend had told !inn he was this evening going to bring for ward his [notion. Fur his own part he was a great enemy to taxation. The taxation of this country was grievously oppressive and p aticularly upon the lower classes of that House—(Grea laughter) the lower classes or the people, he intended to say: He was quite sure his Majesty's Ministers intended to ser as much as was necessary in the way of taxation.— (Cries of " Hear, bear," arid laughter.) Unless a grew deal was done in the reduction of taxation, it was impossible to foretell what the consequences to the country would be. He was sure the tviioie national establish ments were maintained at an exvenditure beyond what the people could keep up. He thought t at those were the best trieods of the country, who advocated the reduction of those establishments, and that was the only course open to leave the credit of the country unendangered. The immense weight of taxation under which the country had been so long labouring, had led to an incalculatile de gree of distress ; and of all the taxes that oppressed the people, the malt tax, in his opinion, was the most op. pressive. Before the malt tax was imposed, the people brewed at home ; since this imposition, they had not been able to brew at home, but had been driven to have their beer from the great brewers ; and he earnestly pressed on his Alajesty's Ministers the necosity of taking off at least this tax without delay. It was a most unjust tax, not only inasmuch as it pressed so heavily and so injuriously upon the poor, hut inasmuch as it Wa• extremely partial in its operation—he meant as regarded the farmer, because there were lands that grew barley and corn which would Odd no wheat at all, and there were lands on which wheat could he rown, and which could not yield barley or corn. Had he known the Hon. Member had meant to bring on his motion this night he would have brought down 101 htters—(Hear, hear ; and laughter) —which he had received on this subject from persons of the greatest influence. cu il op e o,ense k t n ioj e is w ssieu t nt h ,aj e et r uc e t7 ‘ i a ' n ' n e d r r e •ar: f o m u a s n h y e par p t h s e a t d it o i f o t n i s i t o h u e 2 :c o t t w iun ti t , r i a ;,: the motion would have been brought on to night, he would have brought down with him a great number of letters, complaining of the injustice of the malt tax.— Although lie could have wished that the motion had been postponed, so as not to have impeded the pro gress of the Irish Bill, he must give his most sin cere and strongest support to it.—(Hear, bear.) He hoped that if the Noble Lord (Althorp) did not coin tide in the motion to-night, he would talcs an early op portunity of attending to the subject. Lord ALTHORP stated, that he wished to impress on the Hon. Baronet the necessity of postponing the motion, so that the Bill which had already occupied so much of the time and attention of the House might not he delayed. The Hon. Baronet was aware that he (Lord Althorp), in regard to taxation, had made the sanie statement as that Honourable Baronet bad; and he believed that, in a very short time, he should be able to take an opportunity of stating to the House the view which be tohk of the state of the country, and the sum total of the estimates requisite for the year. c T o t ti l la t tr; vo w u a ld s tbneostth a e nx be io s u t s ti t T i e e t i o t, c u o , n o si s d h e o r u z i hi c c u h t tax the (Hear, hear, hear.) He should be sorry if the 1-10- nouiable Baronet should think that he (Lord Althorp) was acting incautiously in the course which he felt hintsor bound to pursue, regarding the present motion. But the tax was one of large amount, having produced last year no less than four million eight hundred thousand pounds,—(Hear, hear.) That waa a large amount to deal with, and the House would do well not to come to any immediate decision respecting it. The Hon. Baronet would have ample opportunity of brinzing it for ward. He (Lord Althor k a) would not ask the House to give a direct negative in the present motion ; the general course wis to prove the previous question, but he did not wish to do that, when his only object was, that it should, Ike o her motions, be postponed. When the Hon. Mem ber for Birmingham (Mr. Th. was Attwood) had been so much pressed from several parts of the House to agree to a postpon went of his motion, he (Lore Althorp) cid not think that his insisting in bringing i forwaid to-night was very courteous.—(Hear, hear.) was of great advantage to the House to proceed with the other Bill, but he would not ask them to vote for a motion, aye or no, whether the malt tax ought or might not to he repealed, but he would move an amendment similar in effect to the previous ques'h The Noble Lord then moved, that all the words of the motion, after the word " that" be left out, for the purpose of inserting these words—" The order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Irish Disturbance Suppression Bt 1 be now read."—( Hear.) Mr. A. BARING assured the Noble Lard that many persons ou his side of the House admired tie Noble L 'rd's ingenuity.—(Laughter.) It war certainly desirable that the House should dispose of the Irish Bill as soon as pos.. ; but he thought that the Hon. Member for Birming ham had not been treated with that courtesy which he had a right to expect. —(leo., hear.) In discussing the various clauses of the Irish 131.1, it was much to be re gretted that Hon. Members did riot confine themselves to the questions immediately before the House, and that was a cause of a great (hal of delay which had already taken }dace. Ile considered that the Hon. Member for B mingham, looking at the importance of the measure which he tt lobed to submit to the House, was entitled to two al ternatives ; either that he should yield to the appointment of a Committee for the purpose of considering the qu-s tion, or that he should have some day assigned when so great and imp Ttant a subject should be brought by h m (the lion. Member fur Birmingham) before rite House. In stating this, he dui not wish to be understood as one of those who thought that the subject was one that ought to go before a Committee, his impression being that no good could be done by the adoption of such a course; but be thought it m. st important to the interests of the empire at large, that the subject shoul I undergo full dis,•ussion. Whatever the opinion of the Noble Lord niiht be, no person could doubt, to the question of the currency, many both to and out of that House attributed the distre•ses the country. With respect to the motion of the H n. Member for Lincolnshire, he wished to m die a few (laser vations, and in doing so, he begged to be understood by t,e House that he did not intend to enter into a log dis cussirn on the malt tax ; liu when the Hon. Member talked of disposing of 4,800.000/. of the revenue of th e country, he could nut but consioer that the subject ought to receive a much greater consideration from the House. He thought that the H qt. Member bad taken an ex. tremely narrow view of the question, and one which the House would not follow bins in taking. He must, how. ever, oherve that the interests of persons in the country had not had fair play with the Noble Lord. The ge tie men connected with this subject in the metropolitan dis tricts had an opportunity of stating their grievances to the Noble Lord, which those connected with the rural had not. He very much r. gretted that the Min. Baronet who had brought forward the motion hail nut adopted a much more literal course. Dlr. HUME rose to address his Hon. Friend who had bought forward this subj , cr, and to assure him that there was no one in that Honse more disposed than himself to lend his influence in support of the present motion, but he feared that it the House now came to a decision it would be without an opportunity of fairly and properly consider ing the question. He (Mr. Hume) had not entertained the slightest idea that the lion. Baronet meant to bring forward the subject on this occasion, or lie (Mr. Horne) would have been prepared with a statement which would have proved irresistibly to the House the necessity, if not of abolishing the tax, at least of reducing it to such a de gree as would afford immense relief to all classes of the community. He did not say this merely in regard to the interests of the agriculturists ; be was anxious that in any change of taxation the House should consult the inte rest of the consumer as well as of those who produced the barley. He (Mr. Hume) had not collected from the Hon. Baronet's statement that he had considered the in• terest of the consumer. Now as far as regarded the agricultural interest he should vote against the Ilonoutal-le Baronet's proposition.—(Hear, hear.) His opinion was that no interest 111 the country had been so well attended to and protected as that of the agriculturist.— (Cries of " No, no," and " Hear, hear.") But he would riot go into that question now, hut merely suggest to the Hun. Baronet that proper consideration should be allowed to this question. The Hun. Alernoer then went on to show by a series of calculations, that the additional duty, which had been imposed since 1785 on malt, had, not withstanding the increase of population, diminished its consumption. He was inclined to propose that a reduc tion of duty should take place, which would not only give relief to the grower, but also to the consumer, without losing one farthing of the revenue derived from that tax. The repeal of this tax would also have a great effect in improving the morals of the people, and checking that taste for ardent spirits which the injudicious restrictions upon the consumption of malt liquor had fostered. 13,fore the late war the tax on malt only amounted to 10s. a quarter, but that teas gradually raised to 345. Bd., a sum which had been since reduced to 265. He saw no reason why it should not be still farther reduced ; but as many Hon. Members were not now prepared with the state ments they otherwise would be, he entreated the lion. Baronet not to put the House to the inconvenience of a division, which, after all, would not really be on the quell. turn of the malt duty. He(Mr. Hume)did not mind being in a small division, and would vote with the Hon. Baronet it he went to a division, as he voted for the reduction of all taxes, but he entreated the Hon. Baronet not to go to that extremity. Mr. WARBURTON should certainly vote for the Noble Lord's motion, as there were many Members who did not expect that this important question would really be brought forward. He should not he di-posed, however, at any tim e ti a vote for the moo ion of the Hon. Barone-- unless it were accompanied by a reduction of the duty Ott tOreign barley, without which this tax would simply gum into the pocket of the Brower of the barley, and not into that of the consumer. Sir E. KNATCHBULL entreated the Hon. Baronet to withdraw his motion. He felt as much upon the subject as any Hon. Member in that House, but the present was not the best time for the consideration of a subje tso impor rant. Sir W. INCILBY said it was but seldom he took the liberty of obtruding himself on the House—(Hear, hear) —and he did not think he was liable to the reflections that had been cast upon him.—(Cheers.) Mr. Al. ATTWOOD entreated the Hon. Baronet not to withdraw the motion which he had brought forward, which bad not been m e t on t h e part of the Mi n i stry w i t h a spirit which was respectful to the House.—(No, no.) Lord ALTHORP—In consequence of the attack which had been made upon him, he hoped he might be allowed ti Hit he I very short timu,, and would merely saY ",_. Ha .
