Several Private, Dills were brought up by Mr, Dreit r LA.sescLes, and othef Gentlemen. These Bills were severally read a first time. Lord AUCKI,AND, after adverting to the prObability that • ,the Bill now before the Commons relative to the residence of the Clergy, &v. ,would speedily be brought 'up to that • iiousep observed upon the propriety of having their Lord. ships' as fully informed as to the getlCTiti subject, as was pratticable ; with that view, he moved that certain papers (especially some accounts respecting Queen Ann's Bounty) relative thereto, and which had been recently laid before the I louse, should be printed ; which was Ordered accordingly. The Bills before the House were forwarded. • .tin ;lit Question for their Lordships gojng into a Commit tee on the Lunatics' Estates Dill, af RADNOR made a tew observations ()tithe mea sure, in consequence of which The LORD CffeINCELLOR quitted 'the Woolsack, and iltta.tett the operatibn of, the existing Laws with respect to the . powers Of the Court of Chancery relative to Lunatics, the deleits in which the Provisions of the Dill, in some degree, 'went to remedy ; he stated the power of the Court to make Leases for the benefit of the Lunatic, but it was restricted with regard to selling. A Lunatic, under the piesenr regu latieris could he arrested, and their Lordships must conceive the situation of persons cif that description in such circuit. • stances. He noticed the power of the Sheriff to sell the , Leasehold Property of the-Lunatic, hut which was generally . ;tine at an enormous disadvantage. The Noble and Learnett , Loid then proceeded to describe other elleds of the existin? jaws nr the subject, and 'which, ,he thought, called tbr the Interference of such Provisions as the Bill contained t he oh. served. 'that the siihjeet was oriAinally introduced to tint no. Lice of !tie LegiSlatuse with Ins concurrence; and he appealed to the more matured experience of his. Noble and Learned Friend near him (the Earl of kos Li a), whether, what he had pdvaneed.upon the subject, stns Iveli , lounded. . • The Noble Earl seeming to concur in the observatigns of the Noble Lord on the Woolsack— The House ititinedimely went into a ,Coinmitted on the Bill, the various provisions of which were agreed . to by their !Lordships, and, suits resuming, the Report was ordered to taiseceiveci to-mOrrow.

Tbe CHANCELLOR of the . EYCHFOUER wished to know, to, what point those r:1 1 )01 re ferred which the Hon. Qetitieman . .intended to move -for. General GASCQYNE said, they wohld relate to Malta and il:e Italian Republic, Witt to some other points which he could not specify until be had seen the Papers which Ministers intended to produce, DE!'EN . CE OF, THE EMPIRE. SE.CRE,TARY .ap WAR gave notice, that he should to,morrom,.-moye for ..leave to bring in a Bill' for the better Defence of Great Britain and Ircland. The Bill would he similar to that which was passed in 1798, 'only that it would be extended to Ireland. Mr. WI-HTLIRE4D rose to ask Ministers, whether the Papers 'which were to be produced, .were froirt the' date of the Preliminary Treaty pr the Treaty of- Amiens, The Gil 14.NCELL(. 4 )R of the EXCHEQUER re plied, that ley were from the Treaty of. Amiens, as hislN:nble - Friend had; distindly stated yesrerday. The 'Silver Boffin') Bill was read a third tittle and pashed. - -Ttte Commit tee on the Indemnity Bill SV33 _put off tjii to-tocrrow. c O=l.E ICIAL, AECULATIONS. , Ci§,ANCELLoR of the EXCREQUitit moved the Order ofthe Day for the House resolving into a CommitteA• to consiler of that part of His Ma jesty's Speech of November last, which related to giving greater facilities to Commerce. G/ISCOY NE said, he was not aware that this ryas one of the Orders of the Day ; he, however; did not mean to objet to - the Motion, but he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would give !some time for the consideration of the subjed, par. ,ticularly with regard to the Tonnage Duty, which, though it would be c,ojeded to in time of Peace, yet might be acquiesced in during a period of War.— He therefore hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not infer, that if no opposition was made in the present stage of the business, that Gentlemen were precluded from stating any objeCtions hereafter. He wished are Right Hon. Gentleman to consider, whether it would not be better to separate the Ton nage Duty from the others,' as had been done on a former occasion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had given, every opportunity in his power for the fullvst investigation of the suhjea, free frOm these embarrassments with which a discussion must have been attended some time since. But it was necessary that all possible dispatch should be used, not `Only from ihe great importance of the Subjed itself, but beCause it was intended to be made the foundation of anothr.•r proceeding which would be highly ad vantageous to Merchants ; he meant an extension of .the bonding and warehousing system. 'He beg ged to remind the Hon. Gent. that there was no Bill at present before the House. The Motion was to go into a Committee to consider the King's Message, therefore the suggestion of the Hon. Gent. to separa t e the Tonnage iiroiti the other Duties, could not be carried into ;Tett in this stage of the Measure. He alio wished to remind the Hon. Gentletnan, that the Tonnage Duty was not before passed separately, but in common with other Duties. General G 4SCOY NE wished to know whether the CHANCELL;WL of the EXCHEQUER had given up the plan, he hut announced respetting the Excise Duties. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re. plied, that he had not given it. up: he meant to pro.. pose .similar Bills with regvrd to the Excise anti StaihDuties, and to the Assesed 'Faxes ; .he would not say he would bring them all forward this Ses. &ion, but they were in a considerable state of for. madness. The House then resolved itself into a Com. mittee, Mr CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that having upon a former 'occasion 'stated the general principlia of the measure, he 'should now proceed to call the attention 'of .the: Committee to those parts of the Schedule which most .parti. 'culatly descried attention. It was proposed to make a very :considerable alteration in the Schedule, or rather in the , Schedulea, as they at - present stood, of the 170 Ads .of . Parliament which related to these duties. It was intended in dome insiances to .augment,' and in others to reduce the duties, With regard to the, duties on the importation of wine, it was propoied to equalize them, and to make the duty which was payableon the importation of wine in the ont.ports, 'the same as it was in the Port of London. It. would be difficult to guess upon whir principle the differenee was originally Made, hut f u r many yeari past all .the wine imported in to the put..ports paid .a duty of tl. zos. per pipe less than that imported into L on d o n. But whatever the original cause might he, he' saw no reason for Continuing that - difference any longer; he should, therefore, propose to• equalize the duty ,as he had stated. lii the present Book of Rates, the duty on skins and fdrs was charged without any rela., lion to their real value ; it was ' proposed to, regulate it in future so t h at t h e . duty might have., some proportion to : t h e or i g in a l price of the article. It was proposed to increase the duty upon chemical oils, made from spices, 'as the impor tation of spices into this CoUntry had considerably increaseti'in consequence of our possession of the Nand of Ceylint ; it was thought proper to in. courage the making those oils,at home, by laying a duty upon the importation of foreign oils. It. was also proposed to lay an ,ad 'valorem duty of 5 per cent. on diamonds and precious stones, and also to discontinue the drawback allowed, on brimstone used in making oil of vitritsl. It was proposed us reduce the dOty On manufaduted articles from the E Ist Indies, hum 4.5 to 20 per cent. anti upon manu fatturedarticles from the Eastlndies from 7t to so per cetmand to reduce the Duty upon China from fog to so per Cent. East [lndia Callicoes, which were charg. ed with a Doty of 125' per Cent it was proposed to reduce to go. Ding., if unmanufadured, from 78 to so per . Cent. With tesven, to other East India gt. Sods in general, it was proposed that the Duty Oiould lie redtleed_tp a tattd Duty, simildr to the Duty which 'sitfiitiritrticles paid. On their importa. lion from other Countries, with Sortie exceptions, for the purpose of giving a marked, but not an-in vidious ,preferenee to the West. India market. It Was p4osedihat Sugar should pay a D ut y o f 2s . per Cwt. more ' . than that imported from the ,West In. dies, which would, give pucka preference to the lat. . ter as he had described. The Duty on • Indigo it Was also .proposedto redticei and to,discontinue the drawback on exportation.' All other non.enumerat_ ed 'artielks from the East Indies, to pay,a DUty of 20 pe,r Cent. 'Carton-Wool from the British Plan. Cations, to pay a Duty of td. a-pound, and limn other places a Duty of rid: per pouhd. This was lower than the Duty imposed in the last Se,ssion of Parliament, at the desire of the Manufadurers them. selves; instead. of. a Duty, on manuf4ured cotton. Ile was happy to say, that the importation of Cot. ton had increased to a very , great degree.. The great objed of 'this measure was to Counteraft the plans of the Smugglers. There were two , very important articles in which the trade of the Smuggler had been carried on to a very great extent, viz, lace and silk handkerchiefs, commonly called Bandana hariket aid's, It was proposed to alter the Duty on Thread lace, and 'to reduce it to 20 per cent. The risque of the Smuggler on the importation of these articles', could not he estimated at less than 1 2 or 13 per cent. so that he hoped this measure would tend to counterad these iC{ici t praetices. - Theotherarticle, Pand.ma Handkerchiefs 4: was one with respeCt to which tle knewvery great difference of (Tinton prevailed, and much anxiety had been expressed—that a very - large clandestine importation was perpetually taking place, could not be denied. , His objed,was, to afford every possible advantage to the fair Trader, and to take care, that if there was an importation, that it should be a regular one. It was known, that the Smuggler-could insure the delivery of these articles in this Country, at a risque of 20 per cent. It was proposed to charge them with a duty of 25 per 'cent, exclusive of the warehouse charge, which was 2 per cent.and here he should doubt, whether the amount of the duty would afford sufficient dis couragement to ttie„Sprggler : he knew it was a subject which very much interested the feelings of the persons engaged in this Trade, .who were ex. tremely sensitive. He had seen a statement which attempted to prove that the duty on the importation of the silk of which the handkerchief was made, amounted to 40 per cent. ; but he was of opinion that it did not exceed 15 per cent. including the Excise Duty. It was proposed to-reduce the duty on the importation of hemp from the Fait Indies and America, in order to promote the importation of it for the Navy, and not to depend on other mar kets for NO important as article. It was proposed to reduce the duties on Italian and other non-enu merated wines, in order to encourage our Mediter. ranean Trade. Coarse Linen Yarn was charged with a duty of is. per cwt. it was originally imported duty free ; it was now proposed to reduce the Ditty to 6d. per Cwr. But as great an xiety had been expressed by persons concerned in the Linen Trade in Ireland and Scotland, it was proposed to lay an 'additional Duty of one-halfpenny per Ell upon narrow German Linen, With respect to the proposed Duty on Shipping, he found, that the objections which had, been expressed to that duty, were done away under the present circum stances of the Country : though he understood the Gentlemen who opposed it before to lay in their 'eh*, not to be . supposed to accede to the principle of the duty, as applied to all other times. He was not disposed to enter into the arguments at present which he was. prepared to urge in favour of that tax being continued in time of Peace; 'but he court not help stating, that the Navigation of the Coun try had increased regularly for . the last fourteen or fifteen years, both in War and ,in peace— During the last year, the increase in the British Shipping that had cleared inwards, compared with the former., year, were Ships, 3275—Tonnage 414,713—decrease of Foreign Ships, 1744; TOO. nage, 299,914'.--Increase of British Ships entered outwards, 2730 ; Tonnage 269,345—decrease of Foreign Ships, 2274 ; 'fonnage 343,1;7 —With proportionate increase of British - Mariners. He did not think he asked much, .when he begged the Committee to believe that he had made, every pos. sible inquiry into the 'SubjeCt, and he was fully convinced, that it wasa Duty, .the continuance of which ought to be , proposed, in Peace. as well as in War. He was aware that this was - a very uninter esting subject in detail ; he "'should -therefore only . add, that it ‘was propoSed to publish A'Schedule of, all the Duties, separate from the Mt of Parliament, payable at the Custom.hoitse, to have it translated into all languages, and 'to have it circulated as. widely as our • Commerce. But as some altera dons would necessarily take place every year in some of the Duties, it was proposed that at the end of every Sessien of Parliament, a state ment of all these alteratiOns should be made.and published in the same manner. •If . any Gentle man wished for any alteration . in those, duties, he ,begged to suggest to them, that perhaps the most convenient place to.make the alteration would be in the. Committee on the Bill ; only they would bear in mind, that in that stage of the Bill no alteration that tended to-augment- the Duties would be admis ! . sible, though they might he reduced. He was nut aware that it was necessary forbirn to trespass any 1 longer on the , time of the Committee, he should therefore conclude with moving his Resolution*: Sir WAS. MIVER said a few words upon the subjea, hut declined discUssing theluestion at large until the Bill was in a Committee. General GASCQYNE a d ver t e d to w h at had fallen from the CHANc et,Lott of the EXCii NORA respecting the Duties on 'Wine. There always had been a difference in the Duty on that article between. London and the out -ports, but as the Right Hon. Gentlemen had stated, that he did not know how that difference originated, and then pro. *posed to, equalize the Doty, he might on the same grounds propose to equalize the Land Tax or the - County Rites. With respeEt to coffee, he believed, there was not so much smuggling in any other arti cle as in that,• though perhaps the warehousing sp._ tem might in some degree prevent it. As to, the statement of the: Right Hon. Qentlernan respelling the increase of Shipping, he thought it .oecessaff make'ane "observation. From the facility of pasting , to. and from the Continent coring the last year, the same Vessels might' go and . return much oftener than they could before, and thus an increase would appear which was not really warranted. He belies , - ed that there was a reduCtion in the number' of Sri. ' tish Vessels, when.the real number was compared . with "that of the preceding year, With respcdt to the Tonnage Duty, he was well. aware that. the :Merchants were perfealy willing to give up their opposition to it, when the interests of the Country required its contjnuanee, There, were several arti oleo on which he should make observations when the Bill was in a COmmittee : he could not help, hOwever, now observing, that the Right lion. Gentleman- had at a fortnee.petiod stated, that: the _ fradional Dutiea were to be raised or reduced to the next integer, instead of which , he was surpriztd to find that an several cases 'they were raised much higher ; in one. instance where the Duty was 331. 55," it was now raised to 35i. , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ,sa id, t h at he. must have been much misunderstood by the Hon: Gentleman, if the latter had *opposed -hi m to sa y, that in every instance the, fractional duties werelo be raised, or reduced to the next in. . teger, as he 'bud distinCtly Stated, that in seretal cases, there 'would be a . large augmentation, and in others a considerable rMile - tium. He had obtained the most ni!urate it.:formatiort urn . the subjeel,. both 'from -the Mercantile Intereq atid 'froin the .Customs, a i nd thy; result of that information he had po d b e f ore t h e Conunittee. Vs l ith resren to the smuggling of eoflee antic - led to lav Ate Han. Gentle man, he Aid not think there was any prohalnlity of its deriving any additional facility ; but if the drawback Was found to be insufficient, he should have no objedion to its increase: the fact was, that coffee .was in general warehoused, and the duties upon it not paid till it was wanted, The Hon. Gentlenian had denied the increase of British shipping, - which he (the' CU A tit ELLOR of the Ex.; CtIRQUE_R) had stated; but if the Hoo. Qenti r m an wished for more precise information upon the sub jed, he could easily move 'tor an account'of the number of ships belonging to . each port; and he would there find, if nor -a numerical. increase, the sime . proportionate increase of British shinning and British seamen, as in former years, and prop° . re tionate decrease ,of FOreign shipping and Foreign seamen. He should Certainly not' objed to the produdion of such an - account, -if the lion, Gentle• man chose to move for it. General GASCOYNE gave police, that in the proper stage of the bill, he should move to extend the Tonnage Duty to Ireland. Mr. CORRY said, the noticetiven by the Hon. G.tntleman was certainly irregular,. but as •it was in a Committee, he would take that opportunity of protesting agairist the . measure which the . Hon. Gentleman had given notice of his intention to pro pose. The proposition of the Hon. Gentleman must in fad affeCt„ in a still more material degree that Hon. Gentleman's own Constituents ; forth '• fad was, that Irish vessels were taxed in the British Ports, whilst the British vessels were free from dal . in the Irish Ports, in the same tnanner as the Iris h vessels themselves. • The Resolutions were then agreed to , and the House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be received toamorroW, . The further 'consideration of the Repor t of the Soldiers' Relief B:11 was postponed till to_raorrow.. The - House resolved itself into a Committee to consider of a Motion for le a ve to b r i ng i n a Dill for the Regulation of the East India Shipping. • Lord C ASTL E EAG 11 suggested the propietY of deferring any disctission upon the measure pro, posed, until the Bill was brought in, which he meant to bring in at an early period, and to have it printed. He then . moved fur leave to bring in Bill to explain and amend the Mt of the 39th of his present Majesty, respeding the hiring of Ships' by the East India Company: Leave giVen. Mr. N. VANSITTART brought up the Bill for anonding the Medicine AEt ; which was read a first .. rime, and ordered 'to be read a second time to. morrow. Mr. ALEXANDER brought the Report of 0 1 Law Snits Bill ; 'which was read and a g reed to, ano the Bill ordered to be read a third time rro Adjourned it six o'clock till to-morrow, • 1 From the LONDON GAZETTE, AN 17, 1841 '6th 911 ma A y t , tilteBoC3,ourptreastertilti,elQtreoeKeni'nsgP.sallvaeleo,srthif;e t 6 xer ;; erit IVi a ri n e d 3W n i cc e p fis d rn t e v .r a o i o n C in ' a C t t i i o l l i e n m s cco o i il w : o s l e t i: l t e e u r h e n 7 m H ee en i His f o . t lVl t. fie l , j, r r ee a ' P ri te Y: t : e'(a , i sii i s n:: M n r i a e rs ' s s x peg • j ca e s S a ty re fi n n ec dfl es h sa illl iy Se r if 3r co v m in q i i e le a t t l i . n t g o t t i i l l e k,e ff, ' u ln c o h u m r o ca l ski ti l is is Crown and the just.
