' Some private business was also disposed of; after which the House adjourned till tomorrow, when a Commission takes place, for declarip►g the Royal Assent to certain Bills. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, DEC. 14. A Message from the Lords stated that their Lordships had agreed to . the Organzine Silk Bill, the Starch Bill, and the Irish Wheat Distillery. Bill,, without any Amendment. Lord STOPFORD presented a Petition from the Borough nf Lanark against opening the Distilleries. Mr. W. DUNDAS said he liad a Petition in his hand from Aberdeen, but he was afraid it was:, informal, because the Petitioners styled thetnselves Memorialists. The SPEAKER said, it certainly was irregUlat, and could nor be presented. ' Mr. DENT rose to give notice, that immediately after the Recess he should move for leave to bring • in a Bill to. prohibit that cruel pradice ,Of bull baiting. He was proceeding- to state his reasons, when he was called to order by Mr. BRAGGE, typo said; it was irregular on a notice to enter into any argument, because it would • I lead to a discussion when there was no question be fore the House. Mr. WINDHAM said, he hoped that if it was to be brought forward, that the House would seri ously consider it, and tkat.Gentlerneh would - attend at the discussion he very much disapproved of the idea of tampering with praffices of long establish- . ment ; but. if the sUbjeft was to- be entered into, he hoped it would be done in earnest, Mr. COURTENAY rose, but was called to pr der, there being no question before tile House.

Mr. JONES gave notice, that on the first day after the Recess, he should fix a day for submitting to the House a Motion respeaing the Income Tax. The Order of the. Day being read for going into a Committee of Supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he should move to put it nff till this day se'nnight, because it was his intention to-morrow to move that the Howe should adjourn to that day, as on that day it would be more easy.to• ascertain than it was at present,. how long it would be fit to - adjourn for the Recess. 3 tea Cominittex 61 Supply was then put off till Monday.

The several Petitions were then read, pro forma Mr. Buß•rox then moved, that the Aft prohi biting the distilling from Grain shpuld be read. The Aa being read, Mr. BURTONsaid, he rose in conformity with the Petitions which had been read, and in conse quence of the conviction of his Own mind ; to move for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Ad ;which had been 'read,, fora time to be limited. In doing this, however, be could not help expressing his strong sense of the candour of the Right Hon. the CHANc;ELLOR. of the EveHEQUER, in acquies., cing in the appointment of so early a day for 'the cussion of this •subjed.. He was extremely happy thit this discussion was to take place, for whatever the deciiion of-this question might be, it could not but be extremely sattsfaClory to the People to know that that decision was not formed upon incidental discussions, but upon a full inVistigation' of the subject. He trusted that the consequence of this' night's discussion would be, that the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEQUER, and the majority of the House, would be, convinced that, under the present circum stances, it would not be prudent to cliscortinue the prohibition against distilling from Grain. The Peti. tion which he had the honour of presenting from his Constituents came from persons who had no particular interest in the question, they bad indeed a general interest in common with the rest of the people of this ,Country, but he meant to say that they were not particularly conneeted with this business. It was -proper to observe that they -(the inhabitants Of Oxford) lived in a very plentiful Corn country, and had one, of the greatest markets for Grain in the Kingdom, almost at their doors, and yet so situated, they had experienced a very 'considerable rise in the price of Corn, since it was understood that -the ,Prohibition was not to be continued. This fa& was still further corroborated by a letter which he had -received this morning, by which it appeared that, the price of Barley bad increased three or four shillings a quarter. Doubts ,bad been entertained whether this high price had arisen front any real Scarcity, or whether it arose from the artifices of Farmers, Dealers, and persons concerned in the sale of Corn. It might be said, that notwithstanding. the abundance of the.•.l;ate harvest, the stock now in .hana more reduced , than is usual at this time of the-year,; because the stock of last year being nearly exhausted, the People were obliged to begin upon the new crop at a much earlier period, than was • usual; therefore ,with reference to this sOjed, the preknt. year might be sold to consist of. conhiderably• more than tl,velve months: But e yen this, could not,- when the extraordinary -abuncl. ante of the late harvest was Considered ; account foe the extravagant prices demanded for every species of Grain, was therefore the probability was; that the high price arose rather from artifice and com bination than from just and natural catises: The evil that must result from suffering the, Corn to continue long at this high price ; Would be great indeed, and every Gentleman .who inquired into the distresses of the- Poor; and who observed the patience and fortitude with which they suffered; must be convinced of the necessity of the Le.. gislattire taking every ste p i n its power to prevent the pride of Proyisions being affected by any such artifices. In the inquiries which he had occasion to make last summer, he was informed by several Medical Men that the deaths and diseases of the Poor were mare iiumerous than usual. All those gentlemen ascribed the inmate of deaths to the scantiness of their pro. 'visions, and to the bad quality , of that scanty allow_ ante: This evil might not exisr to t h e f u ll extent that had been stated, but if it existed in any con siderable degree, the House would, Ist was sAIEc willingly adc:l.r any measure that would tend to re. inedy It had -.been said ; that very erroneous opinions'had been eisrertained respeaing• i the 'quaff= tity of COrn tonsumectin Distilleries: he admitted the consumption of Corti' -in Distilleries, was much less than it was in generalsupposed to 'be. 'With. ant entering into minutim, the quantity of Barley consumed in .the year by Distilleries: amounted to from aso,ooo to .4cia,coo quarters, in this part of the UnitedsKingdbin, and in.the Northern part the .consumption was to are equal, if not to a greater amount ; and it appeared by some calculations, that this quantity was; not more than equal to 360 ' coo quarters of Wheat. :Admittin g t hi s to b e the fact, still it was to be recolleted that a quarter of wheat was supposed to lbe•• sufficient food fief a man for : a whole year, so that " - 'the•Legislature prevented this quantity from being used. for distillation, the Consequence would be, that there would - , be :a saving of as much food,as was necessary for 360,000 men. This ,was a subjeta of the greatest impOrtanee, but it was .tinnecessary for him to enter more. into it, because it was plain to every. body's understanding. It was to be-;observed; that-a great part 'of the People of this Country fed upon Barley, and con. sidered it as more nutritious }acid than Wheat, be. cause it enabled them to sustain a greater degree of hard labour.. l3iffetent. plans had been suggested td remedy the evil which subsisted upon this subjea ; it was-proposed to lower the Duties upon-Spirits distilled from Molasses, and an attempt 'had been made to enlighten the minds ,of the Plibtie, by let ti_ng them know exaCtly t h e quant i ty - o f B ar l ey used by the Distillers. These • Measures. had been tried now for some weeks ; and instead of producing the desired circa, - from the tine thit the Dealers in Corn-found that the Distilleries were to-be opened, the price -of Corn had continually increased: it would not,' then, he hoped ; be said, that these Petitions had come too late: The persons from whom they came were good and loyal Subjeas, who did not petition against these grievances until they. felt them ; but the evil of which they complained had now risen to such a pitch ; that it had created a real alarm, among them-. 'The next objea that Was to be taken into consideration, was that of Revenue,, and here he was ready to admit, that the Revenue would sustain a considerable loss, if the prohibition was continued; though the CHANCELLOR of the .Elc. CHEQUER did -not consider it quite so great ; But if it injured the Revenue in one way, it would be nefit it in another, because, in the first place, it would increase the Duties upon the. Importation of Spirits; it would'also increase the Revenue arising from Breweries: But if the Revenue was injured by this , proposition, it certainly must be made up by other means.. The persons from whom these Petitions were presented, were not persons of the lowest order, :and who did not. know the collar (veneers of what they were asking for. They- were discreet, sober-minded men, who knew . , that if in, consequence 'of their Petitions' being come plied with; the Revenue was, diminished, that they, in common with the rest of their fellow - subjeas mast make it up in another , way. The next argument that had been urged in f avour o f opening the Dis tilleries - was, that if the Prohibition was continued ; it - would encourage the clandestine 'use of Stills, by•which Means the Revenue would be injured, and the . same quantity of Corn would be consumed. In answer to' this ; he had only to say, that the, Prohibition ought to be extended to Ireland and Scotland, arid if the Prohibition of distilling in 'lreland had the elle& of reducing the price of - Grain in that Country, it wokllci lead to the' importation of it into England.— It had also been urged, that it would tend to en courage the smuggling of Spirits into this Country; in answer to this ; he could only say, that Govern. ment must employ a greater number of Vessels and Revenue Officers than -they did at present. And it would be much more difficult td elude the vigilance • of the Officer; if the prohibition was general upon ,all kinds of grain, 'than if it was only partial. It was undoubtedly the interest of the Distiller to 'distil from Wheat rather than from any other kind of grail'', because it produced more spirit. The duty was pi:tids/spoil the wash, and an equal quan. city of wash produced from Wheat would produce_ more spirit than the wash produced from any other sort of grain ; therefore the interest a the Distiller to distil from Wheat was most obvious. If he was permitted tobring in a Bill upon .. this . subject, he confessed he should be more inclined to bring it in prohibiting the prohibition while grain was at certain priee,: than for prohibiting it for a.srcific iime, because when the time was , fi.::ed, it afforded room- for speculation. The last argument, urged upon this subjelt was one personally in favour of the. Distillers: he considered .tlicln its a very respedable. THEATRE-ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN.
