FOR THE SUN. NATIONAL DISTRESS. MR. EDITOR.--Your Correspondent, in TUE SUN of Friday, who calls upon the Fund-holders to pay 4nnually a Tax of EIGHT MILLIONS, seems to have committed rather a whimsical mistake, like some of Jostpu Huivies calculations in Fi nance. The - , income is FORTY EIGHT MILLto annually—to pay Eight Millions, or one sixth of that, would be a Tax.of 161.135. 4d. per cent. on that income.. If your correspondent has 100/. in the Consols, and has to pay 1/. per cent. per annum, on what is worth only 751., he must then pay more in proportion than he who haslloo/., in the fours or fives, who will only be called on for 11. on Stock -worth 1001. and upwards. In short, Sir. your Corespondent confounds Capital and Income, in thus proposing an annual tax of ONE per Cent on Eight Hun dred Millions. A fair Tax of ONE PER CENT. on the Funds Asculd only amount to Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand Pounds; less than HALF A MILLION. Four's, OMNILTAI.

Mr. HUME wished to inquire whether Some expence to the. country might not be . obvi a t e d by a boli s hi ng t h e pract i ce o f having the proceeding of the House - Made 'out in manuscript by the Clerk.. Those proceedings being now. printed, lie could see no necessity for-having them written alsg. H e.un de rs t oo d .that an - allowance used to be made to the Clerk for the 'perforin ance of this duty frOm the Fonda for defraying the expences of Parliament,- whereas it was now charged independent of the, sums allotted for that purpose. The SPEAKER explained the necessity for having theJour- - nals carefully written. With reference to the expellee, he ob served, thatthere was no increase of charge upon the public by the new regulations which had . taken ..place. By the Act of Parliament, the Funds. out of which Mr. Hastell, the late Clerk, was paid, wne added to- the Coniolidated Fund; and, if the rernaming Funds for defrayin g th e ex p ences incurred by the business of the House- were found inadequate, the deficiency must be made up from the Consolidated Fund.. - Some years ago the Journals of the House 'were "generally a year behind ; but by' the recent method of printing theM, they were kept up very close upon the proceedinga; 'A et from the hurry necessary to be resorted to for printing them at this rate, he must caution Members against taking them for authentic records. Hence arose the necessity of having other do cumen t s k ept w i t h t h e greatest attention and care. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was unnecessary to add any thins- to the statement of the Spyiker, but he could not help testqving to the dispatch with winch the Journals of Parliament lid been lately got in readiness, • and the correctness which this mode of transcribing gave to the printed journals. - Lord A.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURT, - etc. • , Mr. LENNARD moved that the returns-101a had been laid on the Table in. an•earlY'part of the' Session, relative to the Middlesex County. Court, be printcd. He said, that the object of procuring - the return:., was to Shrew that the. Judge who pre sided in - that Court • had a very considerable salary compered. With' the duties: which he had to perform. He took that oppor tunity of giving notice, that he would, early.in the next Session,. all ins attention of the House to the subject of that C ourt , as bythe returns it might be inferred, that the very large • , glary of the Judge w.as derived frail the fees of Court ; and if it ap wared. that it should,,be enjoyed, he would endeavour to per suade the House to extend the benefit of .the prin6Ple to more distant parts of the country. With a ir s ieir to liut-thp House in p essession of :the necessary . .evidence, he would move early in the next - Session for the appointment of a Committee to inquire iLta the nature and of tent of the diities of the Court ; and IF he was rightly informed he should .then be able to complete some subjects . of inquiry which the Returns: left unsatisfied.lle then stated, he was Sorry he. did not see .the Honour.: able Member-for Corfe Castle in Isis place, as he wished to ask hini whether it was his intention to propose a grant of moneysto the British Nusatill ? He expressed a hope , that some plan Might be discovered, to give greater facility to the public of inspecting and perusing' the contents of the Museum, at the same time that their sate .custody was riot impaired, as he was very. sorry we should. be outdone by Foreign Countries, thti liberal Conduct' of scientific institutions, besides a well regular- ed freedom of access in public establishments encouraged rality in the administration of,prkate• collections.. The motion I was agreed to. _ ..1 , . BEER A-ND ALE. • Lord A. HAMILTON movetifor leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Clauses of the first and second of George I.; requiring that Brewers should give certificates of the quantity and qua lity of beer sold by them, and. to whom sold. He contended that the principle was unjust, and that partial enforcements of the Act had . taken place. It was evidently impracticable as a general measure, anti individuals were liable to informations and the . crinseatient penalties from: any malicious or evil-dis posed persons. The Act had been ienewed this Session, and, although- it was now late to propose a repeal of any measure, .yet, as the objectionable Cfa'use- - ecniamed a provisiOn that •rt might be altered or rejected - .littring - :- the Session, 'he - did not see any .reason why the repeal shotild - riot take place: therefore, moved for leave to brink in a Bill torepeal so much of an Act passed this !.essions to: regite the eollecticn of the Excise Duties, as rekted to the cluanti2lea of Beer and Ale cold . by Brewers. • Mr. MAXWELL supported the n e.tion. He had ,roleived complaints from mlny.parts. of the country of the out: at; on of this Clause and its general immoral, tendency. ce'itainlv.. hoped the 'Right lion. the . Chaneeller of the E'yeliequer would consent to repeal - the Clause.. He h. no de-At that he intro du6.2d •it with a view to the improviment of revenue ; but when it was found that its operation was vexatious; without attaining the end fur which - it was enacted, it ought not in jus tice to be continued in force. Mr. BRIGHT had alto received various applications with aern'elaints of the provisions of this Clause- Mr. HUME spoke in support of the motion. The CHANCELLVR of the EXCIIEQUEP. said, that if he could be convinced that the operation of the A ct was vexr.- tious, and did not tend secure the better collection of the re venue, lie should be most ready to.repeal it. But he was con vinced that any one who examined into the realprovisions and construction of the cisme alluded to, would easily ascertain that it was attsnded with no such conacquences. lie could not therefore - apree to the motion Of the Noble Lord. Many brewers who itad,Zfirst com Plained of it, had been completely satisfied that it could be productive of no inconvenience whr.tever, - Upon• prover explanation being made to them. ABERCROMI3IE said that the real construction of the clause roust be that put waori it by tNe Judges in the °Ours of Law, and not that which t'he Chancellor of the -Exchequer ga've to it under the pressure of the Petitionswhich had been pre sented-to the House: - jud!ye could exempt an inditidual from the penelty, unless he Cotild prove. that all the provisions of the Act had been stricpy complied with. It appeared from. the PctitiOts, that all the brewers in Scotland would he sinned if the Act was enforced. Lord HAMILTON said, that the only difference now arf peured to be t•;„s to the ccnatruction to be put up.m the Act. • tie 4,topid therefore not press his motion., but the Honour.. able Gentleman. must be answerable for the evils winch might. arise' froth the operation of the thus!. Mr. ABERCROMBLE inquired what construction of the clause, would be acted upon by the Officers of Excise in Scot and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated that orders had been issued_to act ußon the milder construc4on. MISCELLAN'OUS. . Mr. HOTITIOUSiI rose to explain the reason of his not hav ing brought forward.his prornia xi motion relative to the power of Judges. It was,.that he did not see any disposition upon the. Bench to renew the conduct which he conceives to be unjustifi able. If it should ever, he repeated, he shOuld lay a direct charge upon' the table of that House. :Sir J. MACKINTOSH presented a petition from 'certain in habitauts of the City of Westminster, in favour of the Bill for preventing cruelty to horses and other Brute Animals.—Laid on the table. Mr. Q. BENNETT presented a similar petition from Ux bridge.—Laid . on the table. It. MARTIN remarked upon the general anxiety ex pressed by the country upon this subject, and hoped that it would be duly considered in deciding upon the Bill in progress through the House. Mr. F. BUXTON moved that certain papers laid . before the House yesterday relative. to the immolation of Hindoo Women should be printed. Mr. Wi'NNE - suggested, that as the Papers were hrge, the parts only which were material should be printed, on account of the expence. air. F. BUXTON consented to adopt the suggestion of his Hon. Friend, although lie thought a very few of the Papers would be found immaterial. . . After an observation from Sir J. MAc Str, the Pape . re were referred to a Committee for the purpoSe of . seletting the material parts of the Papers.

On the Resolution for granting- 8,4001.'f0r the Salaries.of the Commissioners.and-other Officers of the Insolvent Court, Mr. BENNET objectA to the amount of the Sa laries to the Commissioners of this Court. The Magistrates at the Police Offices, persons who Worked day and night all the year round, with out any rt , laxation. whatever -in a most odious employment, received a salary very. little larger than that paid to many great county gaolers, namely GOO/. a year. It should also be consi dered, that the Commissioners practised as law 7 yers. Under those .considerations, he thought that the Chief .Commissioner in receiving 2,000/. a year, and the other Commissioners in receiving 1,5004, were overpaid. Mr, BERNAL could not coincide with his lion. Friend in thinking that the salaries of the Com missioners were too large ; but he certainly was of opinion that they. ought. not to be allowed to practise at the Bar. - Mr...1/uNts said, that until the Commissioners divested themselves of all other duties but thase of their offices,- the louse ought not to vote them a single shilling.- _He had formerly mentioned to the House -that he understo.od Government had purchased, or were al oot to purchase, at a large price, the house in Lincoln's-inn-square, belong ing to Mr. Justice Parke, far the offices of the Insolvent Court, It w as cer t a i n ly desirable {o ascertain, if possible, what this Court was, in various ways, to cost the coentry. Mr. CREEVEY said, he lead always understood that the Chief Justice of Chester had but 1,2001. a year, and the Puisne Judge only 700 i. Why were the Commissioners of the Insolvent. Court to have more than the :Welch Judges Mr. Moitesr said, the attendance of the. Judges .of Chester 'wa..l only reoired in their Court twice a year, while those in the Insolvent Court were in aitendance almost every day. lie did not think the salaries too great, bUt he should have en-peCled them to give up private practice. Mr. Serjt. °snow supported the Resolution. Mr. Qau74Fign, said, that as the question was to. be brought befOre the .house .neat Session-, he hoped on inquiry would be made -into the pro priety of raising the salaries of the Police Magis, trates, as nothing in his opinion could tend so much to ensure the obtaining of efficient persons.l Mr. CALCRAFT said, he saw no reason to think the salaries too large. Formerly there were in that Court but one Judge, and he had a salary I of 2,0001. a, year ; then it was found expedient to increase. the number, and it was thought the salary 'was not too large to induce Gentlemen of ca pacity and knowledge to undertake the office. it by no means followed that because the : Police. 'Magistrates had too little, that the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court had too mach. Re thought the Police Magistrates much under paid, and he was surprised that such efficient men could be. got to fill the office. Ile always considered' it good econO,rny in the administration' of the alTairs of a couutry.to makea liberal allow ance for public, particnlarly judicial stations, in order to-obtain proper and efficient persons. Mr. Ar.r.;tcßommr,said, that from the interest he had token in the suceesrof that Court, he had frequent communication - with Mr. Reynolds; and whatever might be the doties of tr. 4arris or Mr. Bowen, he thought the time Mr. Reynolds had to devote to his office was wholly incom patible with general practice' at the Bar. If. G. B - Enstr.T . said he should yield to the general wish of the House, and not press his oPpoSition to the grant to a division. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said that Mr. Rey nolds heti given up general prOCtice.at o.le The vote was then passed. •. ' ALIEN ACT. The sum of 5,735/. ls. Gd, was then proposed to defray the expericc;s of the Mien and Super amiaation Office. Sir R. WlLson said, that this vote had passed the Committee without any discussion, although lit, did not knowany one more objectionable, not in point of ainount,•but its application. lie con, ceived the Alien Act a disgrace to the country, rll E&an.ce, although they hadite,power tqrefnie passports, yet no foieigner could be removed un less he had rendered himself obnoxious in some manner. lie had also the power of purchasing lands, nor did hi property . go at his death to the Government; he had the pcw'er fro dispose of it as he thought proper. But now this Act existed in England,' in the 7th year of peace, which re ileLted tpprobrium and disgrace upon the court- Spain,nnder the new Govern ment, a decree was issued, stating—" that the Spanish territory should be an asylum for all fo reigners." The Hon.and Gallant G eneral then ad verted to the case of Madame Montilion and.others, to point out the evil consequences resulting from this mc.gt eppressive Aet. During the late tris.l„ when an individual bad applied to a person in Italy respecting evidence in' favour of her Me^ jesty, it appeared that Col. Browne had threaten ed the father of , the individual (M. Marietti, a most respectable gentleman) that he should have the law put in force. Every foreigner with whom he conversed entertained apprehensions respect - ;ng this law. The House would• recollect the case of an old French Priest, 70 years of age, who although labouring under illness, would not be allowed to land in England. Upon all theca grounds he should oppose the grant. Mr. IfoelioosE said, he agreed so perfectly in ail that had fallen from his 'lon. Friend, that he could not give a silent vote. Ile considered the Alien Act and' the Foreign Enlistment Bill as part of that system of policy which the Noble N4rquess had entered into when he entertained a higher opinion of his illustrious Allies than he did at present, far the Circular of the Noble Marquess and other transactions demonstrated that he did not think so favourably of - them-- The Marquess of LONDONDr.-RY—" No! no!" Mr. IloirroosE—:This was only his deduc tion from the conduct- of the Noble Lord, but if it were not the case he was sorry for it, for be stood almost alone in his opinion. • If the House would allow him he should tell them an anec dote. that occurred to himself at Milan, illustra tiTh of his argument:—Happening to be one night at• the Theatre at Milan; in Company with an English physician, a Captai n i n t h e Greta.! diers stood immediately before them,. with his cap on, and prevented them from seeing well. His friend asked him take off his cap, upon which the Captain said something rude.--- 7 I;is friend, the Doctor, immediately beckoned to him to follow him out, which he did ; they of course expected some kind of encounter, when, to their great surprise, the Doctor was immediately !landed aver to - the guard, and put into custody. He (Mr. Hohhouse) happening to know Count Salo, the Governor of Milan, waited upon him, and was received with great politeness ; and he told him the Captain found himself obliged to do so, being on guard ; but, added he, "are yell tct aware the same thing could be done in England; under the Alien. Act ? Lord Castlereagh would haVe done precisely thesame thing."--(Hear.). He (Mr. H.) said he was sure his Lordship wouLd do no such thing. He mentioned this "cirotn;• stance to show the opinions that are entertained abroad of this Act, and that not by the commoKw. people, butby men in office. This measare was so execrable that the very persons employed carry it into effect neglected to do it; and tba terror entertained by foreigners respecting it was well described by his Honourable Friend (Sr R. Wilson). He therefore.hoped that many Gen tlemen would be found on both sides of the HouLfa to oppose it, _ . . Mr. CLi 'WE had ingnited into the case of Ma dame and it was qUite different item .the opinion that had gone abroad. He had a conversation with the medical gentlemen who attended her child, and it was not at her re-quen, but at the request of the Captain of the ship, who ' Observed•the child to look 111. The child did not die in two or three days, but two or three months after her removal, and MademeMOntillon had expressed herself in terms of gratitude. Sir It. WILSON explained. -'Mr. BERN-AL said; as the House was now he:.:l - encouragement to other nations to eta Wish a wide:and liberal footing, we should begin by abolishing this odious measure. Every day there were declarations and counter-declarations from different governments, and - the time might come when the Government of thie country should wish to give way to the feelings of hurea nity, and violate this law. 'He wished.to know Whether any paper had been issued by Austri4 on this. subject ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said it was the constant practice of the Hon. and Gallant Gene ral (Sir R. 'Wilton,) whenever the word " alien" was_ mentioned, to call for the attention of the House. But he hoped he "was not serious is Making this the night of contest. The Alien ACt had only one year more to go, and then the 4on: and Gallant General would have en opportunity of trying the opinion of the House. With re spect to the question of the Hoii. Gentleman (Mr. Bernal) he could only say, he heard of no ,srixti paper., He could not agree to 'the construc lion given to his .conduct by 'the Hon. Gentle. man (Mr. Hobliouse) with respect to the Allies ; he could nut concur in. the gen e r a l d oc t r i ne l a id down by them, but he . acqeitted them of any dis position. of any thing further than a desire tv Meet the evils they saw around them. • With respect, to the general nature of this law, he must inform the House, that it was not intended Ffor the accommodation of any Foreign Power, ! nor did it deny to any stranger that asylum which it became the hospitality of Englishmento bestow ; and when . it' could be shewn that an individual was removed 'on account of his pre*ious . conduct in any other country, then he shOuld admit the law was abused. Bat when foreigners made this country the seat of their opposition to other lowers, this . country owed into itself to pu.t the law in force. However, next year the lien. end Gallant General could have an opportunity to bring the whole artillery of his argnmene to bear upon the subject. . At present he was wasting his'fire, not upon the principle of the rneaxure,, but upon the persons employedin- the Alien Office. MAextlyrosn had so often spoken on the subject of the et in question, that he would not again trouble the House, excepting with a - eery few words in regard to it, In the first placa: 7 iq
