WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12; 18211 PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF •LORDS, TuEsDat, JUNE 11. The LORD CIIANcELLon presented a Petition from Sudbury against the Catholic Peers' Bill.— Laid an the table. • Lord CARRINGTON presented a Petition from Chipping Wycombe, in the County of Bucking ham, praying for the revision of the Criminal Code.—Laid on the table. - NEW BILLS. Mr. BROODEN - and others brolight up‘from the Commons the Annuities Memorial Bill, the Colonial Trade Bill, and the American Trade Bill, which were read a 6rststime. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of his Noble Friend (the. Earl of Liverpool), gave notice. that it was the in tention of that Noble Earl to move the second reading of the Colonial and American Trade Bills - on Monday next. His Lordship then postponed the second reading of the Bills con nected with the Navigation Laws to that day. - Sir-G. lifia. and others brought up a Message from the Cominons, requesting that the Marquis of DOWNSIIIICE be allowed to.attend their Committee now sitting on the trade of Ireland. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied that their Lordships would send •an answer by Messengers of their own. The queition was then put that the Marquis of DowssiiißT. be allowed to attend, and leave was granted.. Viscount SIDMOUTH presented a Petition from the Bo ,rough of Devizes against the Catholic' Peers. Bill.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned. . HOUSE OF COMMONS: M ISCE LLANEOUS. Mr. WESTERN presented a petition from the Yeomen and Farmers of Romford against the Act of 1819, for resuming Cash Paymeets ; and another to the same effect froSm Hoch ford.—Ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. Mr. WILLIAMS (of Lincoln) presented a petition from several Inhabitants of that City, complaining of the injury done to their trade by hawkers and pedlars.—Ordered to lie on the table. Lord STANLEY presented a Petition from Eccles, in Lan cashire, against the Licensing Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. CREEVE V postponed to the 27th instant, his motion respecting the Pension Act. He should, on that occasion, sub mit to the House a string of Resolutions, one of which would refer to the pension granted to Lord Sid m o u th. . • Sir J. NEWPORT moved for an Account of all Sums of Money received by public Officers in Ireland for Fees, on oc casion of the death of his late, and the accession of his present Majesty.—Ordered. Mr. HUME moved for .a Retuin of the Lands and Here ditaments of his Majesty, in right of the Crown of Ireland, which have been sold under Acts of the Irish Parliament, au thorising their sale ; and of the appropriation of the sums re ceived from those sales. • Sir GEORGE HILL said a 'few words; after which the motion was agreed to. Mr. HUME then moved fota return of the present income of the lands and hereditaments not sold. Sir G. HILL thought the motion was-too general, and exten sive. • He had no objection to any particular return for any ob ject in the contemplation of the. Hon. Member. Sir J. NEWPORT thought the return moved for would - be unnecessarily voluminous. Mr. HUME then withdrew his notice, and said he would consult with the Right Honourable Gentleman as to the best mode nrobtaining.the information necessary for his particular purpose. • . , • Sir J. NEWPORT-bought up the .Second 'Report of the Committee on Grand Jury Presentments; and said he. should move for leave to bring.in a Bill-on the subjeCt to- m o rr ow.- The Report was read, and ordered to be printed. ' 'SALT TAX. ' • • Sir %V. LEMON presented a Petition from several persons engaged in the Fish-curing Trade of Cornwall, complaining of the Tax upon Salt. . They considered that the proposed mo dification of the present duty would operate as a new tax. He thought nothing but the total abandonment of the tax would be productive of any benefit. Mr. RUM BOLD. supported• the Petition. Sir R. FERGUSON said, that the statement of the Peti tioners applied in• every respect to the Fisheries of Scotland. They would be-ruined if the present Tax were persisted in. Mr. D. GILBERT also spoke in favour of the .Petition.— He fully agreed that- the distress occasioned by the tax was -not of a local nature. He acknowledged the good which had been done by his Majesty's Ministers in the way of reduction ; but he thought a partial reservation of the present Tax was im politic.and oppressive. lf, however, the Government thought it necessary to retain the Tax, he would oppose any. motion for its reduction.--(Hear, hear from the Opposition.)—He had no objection to repeat the sentiment cheered by the Hon. Members. He should be happy to find the - Tax repealed ; but he would not wish to have it repealed at the expense of public credit. Mr. TREMAYNE said, he had no dolibt the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not aware - of the severity with which this TaX 'pressed .upon the fisheries. One individual engaged in that branch of trade would have to pay 8,0001. for duties, in January next. He saw no chance of relief but in the total 'repeal of the tax. e• . . • Sir 111. W. RIDLEY thought the taking off of a tax would be as beneficial if proposed by any Member, as it would be if proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. The tax on salt would have a considerable effect on those engaged in the manufactur ing of glass bottles. They would haye to pay 51. a ton for their alkali, instead of 30s. as hdetolore. Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN said, he thought a:total repeal of the tax was most desirable ; but he had no wish to disturb the general satisfaction which prevailed in the House when the Right Hon. Gentleman brought the 'subject forward ; and he had therefore abstained from remarking upon it. Mr. BRIGHT spoke in favour of the total repeal. He was satisfied the repeal would not affect the revenue ; and he there fore hoped the. Hon. Member (Mr. D. Gilbert), would be in duced to vote for.the repeal, even though it should be proposed from his (Mr. B.'s) side of the House. Lord A. HAMILTON said, that when the Bill came regu larly before the House, he should be prepared to shew the effect of the Tax upon Scotland. He understood that that part of the country was not to be benefitted by the repeal, though it would in its consequences be injurious to Scotland. He looked at the question as one affecting the general welfare of th e cm pire.—(Hear, hear !) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was his, intention to propose• a clause exempting Scotch salt from the duty. As the Tax would fall heavily upon Ireland, he pur posed also proposing a measure for the relief of that part of the kingdom. Upon the question res p ec ti ng t h e Fi s heries, he con fessed he had not yet been able to make up his mind. It was an important subject; and he was not yet prepared to give up so considerable a portion of the revenue as that arising from salt consumed in the fisheries. He thought, however, that these points of detail should be reserved until the question came be fore the House in a regular shape.. Mr. CALCRAFT agreed that the discussion should not be anticipated; hut it was an advantage for the Right lion. Gen tleman to hear the sentiments of those whose local situations gave them opportunities of judging of the effect of the Tax. It was evident that the more the Right Hon. Gentleman proceed ed in his measure, retaining a part of the Duties, the more he was surrounded by difficulty.. The retention of the Tax was in fact putting a new Tax upon another class of people. It would be better to give up the paltry remnant of the Tax ; and he trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman would gain hi mse lf th e credit of doing so before the end of the Session.. He (Mr. C.) understood from the Salt Shippers of Liverpool, that it would be impossible for them to collect their debts from the retail . dealers if the Tax were retained. Mr. HUME said the bleachers, who were much interested in this tax, would not be able to carry on their trade, if the tax were continued in the shape proposed by the ,Itight.Hon. Gentleman. Mr. WODEHOUSE said that the present tax was in all re spects a new tax. He implored the Right Hon. Gentleman to remit the tax altogether, and he might be assured that his doing so would be.considered the most acceptable boon he could offer to - the people... •t' - • • Sir JOHN NEWPORT said the remnant of the tax would operate as an additional burden upon Ireland. Mr. CARTWRIGHT suggested that the repeal of the Leather Tax should be suspended for the present, ankl that the . whole of the Salt Tax shoullbe taken off. • • Mr. C. ITUTCHINSON assured the Right Hon. Gentleman he had received communications from. Ireland expressing . the 4reatest alarm at the tax as it was now 'proposed to retain it.— He trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman would give it up. Sir ISAAC COFFIN said,• the fishermen would by this tax be deprived of the means of living altogether. He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not forget that'the fisheries were the nurseries for - British seamen, who had so often de served and received the thanks of the country. Mr. CURWEN, trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman would not persevere and force the House to compel him to give up the Mr. W. SMITH said4hat the fisheries had lono been a losing trade inconsequence of the heavy pressure of this tax.— The proposed drawback on exportation would be of no assist .ance to them, for they could not defray the expence attending the tax as it affected home consumption. Mr. T. WILSON was not one of those who thought the . Salt. Tax should be wholly taken off, unless measures were suggested for making up • the deficiency in the revenue which such a measure would occasion. Mr. LESTER supported the prayer of the Petition. Mr: V.. • FITZGMIALD described the injurious conse quences which retaining the proposed amount of duty would haVe on the trade of Ireland, which was already : so distressed that it could hardly sustain the liurdens already imposed on it. He would be the last:man to start unnecessary objections to the plans of his Right Hon.. Friend, but in the present case he felt that he should fail 'in his duty if he were not to state that to the Chancellor of the Exchequer which he knew must speedily be pressed on - his attention from other quarters. Sir R. FERGUSON shewed that the duty proposed to at tach to the Fisheries, though it would be felt severely by the parties, would contribute but a very small sum to the re venue. • . The petition was then read and ordered.to be printed. • • On the motion .of Mr. BENNET, the recommittal of the Alehouses .Licences Bill was postponed till to-morrow. Mr. MANNING presented a petition from Bridewell Hos pital, against the Prisons Consolidation Bill. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. RUMBOLD presented a petition from the Catchers and. Curers of Herrings or. Great Yarmouth, in the county of Nor folk, praying for the total repeal of the Salt duty. Ordered to lie on the tabl&. • • '. Ir. HLTME presented a petition on the same subject, from certain Bleachers of Yarn, in.the town and neighbourhood of Arboath. Mr. PHILLIPS animadverted on the conduct of the Chap cellor of the Exchequer. He was so accustomed to imposie burdens on the people, that he could not do a gracious thing to wards the people without coupling it with something ungra cious. This he instanced in the course pursued by the Right Hon. Gentleman, when he introduced. the Bill respecting Spoiled Stamps, which he made the vehicle for imposing a heavy .tax on the transfer of Agricultural property, and this was the way in which he had-thought it.ri,?;ht to shew his regard for the Agricultural, interest.—The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Sir A. DON presented a Petition from the Skinners, Tan ners,.Curriers, and others concerned, in the Leather Trade, in the county of Kelso, praying the Repeal. of the Leather Tax.— Ordered to lie on the table.

LORD SONDES V. FLETCHER, CLERIC. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved to set aside the writ of inquiry executed in this case. 'Lord Sondes, who was in pos session of an advowson, inducted the defendant, taking his bond for 12,0001. conditioning that the defendant should give up the living when his Lordship should request it. Some years after Lord Sondes wishing to induct his younger brother, Mr. Watson, called . upori the defendant to give up the living, which, on his refusing to do, proceedings were com menced on the bond, and the Jury assessed the damages at 10,0001. The Learned Counsel now moved to set aside the writ of inquiry, on the ground that the Jury, in estimating 'the damages, had proceeded on a fallacious principle— they had computed the damages from a calculation of the value of the life interest of Mr. Watson, who was only 24 years of age, instead of computing them according to the value of the de fendant's life interest, who was 46 years of age. The Co ultr was not satisfied that the Jury had proceeded on a wrong principle, when the defendant, by keeping pos.. session of the living, shewed that to him the value was as they had found, for if it were over-valued, he might relieve him se lf . at any time by giving it up.

The Petitioners set forth that a very great trade was formerly carried on 'by the manufacturers of clocks and ivatches, but of late years, frolp the number of foreign clocks and watches introduced into this country, their trade kad fallen off, those connected with it reduced to great distress, and many brought to a state of pauperism. The Petitioners now• complained, of the provisions contained in a Bill lately intro duced, which authorised the - warehousing of foreign clocks, watches, and watch glasses, as they were apprehensive that the articles so warehoused would either find their way into the hoine, or being altered in appearance, be exported to foreign markets as articles of British manufacture. They therefore prayed that that part of the Bill to which they alluded might not pass into a law. _ After a few words from Mr. THo mPsox, the Petition was brought up and read. Mr, Ald. WOOD said; for the last ten years they had been the . habit of receiving representations of the distressed state of the numerous class of persons connected with the watch and clock- trade. They had certainly lost much of their foreign trade; and the provisions of that Bill against which they now petitioned went to take from them the home market, to the suliply of which they were now confined. He thought the Pe titioners were fairly entitled to have their case taken into con.. sideration. . Mi.. 'WALLACE said, this was not the time to enter upon the subject of the Petition. When the Bill got to a• Committee the proper opportunity would occur for taking it into consider , ation.—Tlre Petition was ordered to lie on the table.- Sir. F. BURDErf presented a Petition from certain Agri culturists in the parish of Branding, in the Isle of Wight, corn: plaining of distress, which they ascribed to the alteration of the , currency.—Ordered to be printed: Mr. BIRCH presented a Petition from certain; Traders and other Inhabitants of the town of Noitingham, complaining of the injuries sustained by them from MoCk Auctiona, and travelling Pedlars.—Ordered to be printed. CURRENCY OF THE COUNT,RY. Mr. WESTERN, pursuant to the notice which. he had given, rose to perform a duty which he regarded as one of great im portance. He thought it right to say, that in his opinion, the present calamitouS situation of the country ought to be ascribed to that measure against which his motion would be directed, and with this feeling, under no possible circumst ances wou ld he abdicate that duty which he now took upon himself to fulfil. ' He felt that it would be necessary for him to drawleavily on the attention of the House, and as he had neither eloquence nor wit to require that attention, he must throw himself on their in dulgence, while he proceeded to lay before them the resu lt o f a very la borious inquiry; commenced and rffosecuted with a sincere desire to get- at-the real truth. At the outset then, he took upon himself to arraign the wisdom, justice and policy of that measure which had been adopted by the House some years • ago.---the measure under which the country had returned to the old standard of our -currency. Among the authors of that mea sure there were men to whose opinions he looked up with great deference. He did not, mean to treat .it as one which had been exclusively framed by his Majesty's-Ministers. He knew that it had passed with the concurrence of the - most distinguished Members of that House ; and therefore, in bringing forward this motion, he did not mean to upbraid Ministers with it ; and still less did he mean to censure those of their opponents who had given it the sanction of their approbation. He considered their authority entitled to great weight; but still, as he could not regard any set of men as infallible, he must-hold that it was possible for them at limes to be egregiously in error. In the case to which he now wished to direct the- attention of the House, he wasof opinion that at no period had a body of states .men in this or in .any, other country committed ,a more fatal error than had been committed by the passing of the Act for returning to the ancient standard of our currency. When he spoke thus he did not mean to confine himself merely to the Act of 1819, but he spoke of that together with the concurrent Measures of the years immediately preceding. He had at the outset arraigned the wisdom, policy, and justice of the mea sure, and he felt justified in going further, and saying, that to that all the. present lamentable distress, and all the diffi culties with which the country had to contend, were to be aicribed. He did not deny, that there were circumstances Which, without this, would press heavily On the country. The taxation under which it laboured—the laws respecting Bri tish agriculture,' and the poor's rates, -were suffieLlit to cause •a.. considerable pressure, without the currency ; but with these the country had thriven and prospered, • and with these it had still continued to thrive and prosper, but for the adoption of that injurious and fatal measure to which he now called their attention. --He would undertake to 'prove that this measure pressed severely on all classes, with the exception of the fundholder and the Annuitant, and if he failed to make out this he would, give up the subject altogether. He would also shew that the severe distress at present experi enced in Ireland was to be ascribed to this. measure. He begged to call the attention of the. House to the moral and po litical effects of lowering or raising the value of money. He accordingly shelved the effect which each operation must pro duce on the situation of 'a person possessing 1,0001. per annum, whom he'supposcd to owe 5001, out of the 1,0001. and shewed that the operation of the two changes would go to strip him of his - whole.property. , This f it could be shewn, was the case, or nearly the cas e ; in t h ousan d s o f instances where Mortgages had been made , _ and obligations contracted under the altered cur rency. Though it was obviously desirable to avoid lowering PRICE SEVENOEXCE, the value of money below the regular standard, yet this would not, morally speaking, produce the same extent of injury, nor did it physically prOduce the same degree of evil, as' raising it would not fail to do. In the latter case it affected all classes ; down to the• meanest labourer. The difference between raising and lowering the value of money ought never to have, been left out of the contemplation- of those who decided on giving up the standards by which the concerns of the country •had been.regulated for a quarter of a century. The measure had enormously increased all the .burdens of the country. Though he did not wish to call the - attention of the House to an essay on the theory of money, he felt it 'necessary to submit to them some general propnsitions, to which he thought no one would object, on the uses, functions, and na ture of money. By all modern authorities it was. agreed that money was only important as a medium of exchange and a measure of value. By Dr. Adam Smith it was said to be valuable, as a necessary instrument of commerce, but it formed no part of the revenue of a State. One essential quality in money was this, that it should be as invaluable as possible.— On this account the precious metals had been preferred, by the common consent of mankind, but then were not secure from variations. The state of the mines being more or less productive, or the discovery of new mines might cause their value to vary. Other causes might affect their value, such as an increase, or.a falling off in the demand, or th e a d o pti on o f substitutes for them. As soon as a credited currency had been established, as was the case here, and in other parts of the world, as a part of the aggregate currency, the character of the metals for invariability must necessarily be affected.. Other circumstances, such as the increase of wealth and popus lation, would also change their value n and. these in modern times, but for that credit currenc y w hi c h h a d been brought to . such terfection, would have rendered the supply of themetaLs, if the mines were not more productive than formerly, made= quate to supply the demand. He then read extracts from Locke and Dr. Adam Smith, on the character of the precious metals, and spewed . that in some instances it had..appeared, that rents received in corn had, in a long course of years, va. Tied less in value than those paid in money. He proceeded to shew what had been the effect of the depreciation of money during the late war. lie was not one of those who thought the country had only enjoyed a fictitious prosperity.. To him it appeared that we had acquired all that had constituted real wealth while that state of things continued, and at the same time the population had increased more rapidly perhaps than it had ever done within a like period before. Ip spite of all the pressure of the war the nation had advanced with rapid strides in her agriculture, in her manufactures, and in her 'commerce; in every thing that could indicate real wealth. This wealth remained to us at the end of the period to which he had referred, and was available for all s purposes. In former times, under circumstances somewhat simil ar , th e popu l at i on had increased as wealth was accumulated. This would be seen from an extract from a work written by Lord Bacon, then Sir Francis Bacon, towards the close of the reign of Elizabeth._ This extract stated, " That never b e f ore had a like number of houses been built within the same period—never had the like quantity of plate, jewels, and sumptuous furniture, been accu mulated—never had a lik e quant it y o f l an d b een brought into . cultivation —never had all kinds of tenures been so increased— Ttever had the markets been so plentifully supplied or so well attended—never had so many rivers been cut or directed into new channels ; never had so many artificers been known skilled in all sorts of handicraft ; never were there so 'many-,new in ventions ; and while war was, never conducted with more vi gour and success, the population had never more rapidly in creased." That such was the effect of an increased currency, had been stated by Mr. Hume ; and it was curious that the' same effects should thus be produced at periods so distant from each other in this, and as he believed in every other country,, from the same cause. He proceeded to shew how the value of gold might be carried down by a great credit currency ; .and on this subject he referred to a very able speech which had been made by the Chanc e ll or o f th e Exchequer some years age, in Which the Right Honourable Gentleman had described the difference between paper and gold,, and explained the circum stances which ought to be regarded as affecting the price of the latter. He (Mr. Western) considered the alteration of the currency to have altered the price of wheat. To ascertain this, he had looked back at the prices of wheat in the 150 years an..: terror_ to the commencement of the late war. Ile had got the average prices of each ten years through that period, sinelahese he had turned into averages of fifty years. Not to detain the House with the whole, he would merely state the .average Prices of corn ill each fifty years of the period to whichhe- had referred. In the first fifty years, ending in 1895, the average price of the quarter of wheat was 445. 9d. In the second-fifty years, the price was 335. Id. and in the last fifty years, 'ending' in 1793, the price was 445. 3d. there being a difference of only a few pence between the prices of the first and last perieds.— In the period which had since followed, the. average priceliad been in the first ten years ending in 1803, 795. I Id. the: second ten years, ending in 11113, the price was 995. Dining the period of 150 years, which he had mentioned, lie believed the highest price of the quarter of corn was 525. In the .first ten years which followed, the price advanced to 80s., and in the next to 100 s. He believed war had commonly, little effect on the price of corn. The average price of a query '.ter of corn in the five years before 1756, was 11. 145.. The average of the five years ending in • 1763, was 11. 17s. - In 1764 the average price was 21. Is. ; in 1764 it was 2/. Bs., and the average of the first five years after 1763 was 2/. ss. •He now came down to the American war. The average price of corn in the five years immediately preceding the American war was 21. lls. ; the average price during the whole war was 2/. 6s. This was less than the average price of.the five years pre ceding the war. The price in, the year after the war was 21: 145., and the average price in the first five years was 2/. Bs.• 2d., the average during the whole of die American war having been 21. 6s. He argued from this that war did not necessarily increase the price of corn. Ile also drew his argument from another source, from the reports of the quantity of corn. sold in -the London Markets, in the years 1812 and 1821. • The fact Was very curious, and thoroughly corroborated his position. It would be thought very naturally, that the demand for corn had increased in that period, in the same ratio as the population had increased. In 1812, the quantity of wheat sod was 380,921 qrs. at 1255. per quarter. In 1821, the sale was 385,500 quar ters' being a smaller quantity at the rate of tios. He should be glad to hear it stated that this alteration could have occurred from any other circumstances than the operations which had been effected with regard to the currency. This was the cause of the existing distress, and not an abundance of corn. He should presently make out that this measure had not only sunk the value of corn, but that every other species of property had fallen in value,_ although not to the same extent. When th e measure for the restoration of the currency was first proposed, the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite. said, that they were only doing what had been done in the- reigns'srif Edward the First and Elizabeth. lie could shew that this modern measure had no analo g y to th e operations winch were affected in those remote times. With regard to Edward the First, there could be no return to an ancient standard, bec.suee the coinage then .in. circulation consisted : of nothing but counterfeits. Edward the Sixth had the • coinages for res storing money to the value of . the standard of Henry the Eighth, and such interference no doubt created considerable embarrassments and difficulties at the time. But it was.-Set forth in'the diary of Edward the-Sixth that these alterations were made for the purpose .of paying his debts ; in fact the object was to cheat his creditors; But these alterations were never intended to be permanent.. • They did not l as t mo re than six years, notwithstanding that , they had not the et: feet of disturbing private contracts, much less so dreadful an operation upon a public debt as this country now suffered Under. They had indeed no real effect upon the stand ard, for they ended in six years by the Act of. the sth of Edward the Sixth. The Statesmen of those days -knew better than to revert to the ancient standard 'of Henry the Eighth, which had beeti abandoned only tatunty-tive years. even *the out that pressure which now weighed down the resources. of. the country. In the case of - Willi: nu . 1,1 I.',there was no altera n tion made in the curreney— a (ll.eur, from :Mr. Peel.)--11e, knew that a quantity of debased and clipped:. coin was called in -(Hear,_ hear, hear.)—but it was ; intales, and not ag a in issued. He must say, therefore, that it was perfectly puerile to say that a measure like the present 'bore any - similarity tir those of our ancestors. The Hoisse must rattier: their steps in:a measure which they undertook in ignorance ; and he took blame to himself that he did'not at first remonstrate against. it with all the power he possessed. fie would warn' Honour able Gentlemea, by the responsibility which attachid to not to let any false or mistaken pride instigate them to refuse an investigation a measure that had produced effects which, at the time, they could not foresee; for if they did so :they would be turning their lucks upon the country and betraiing its real interests. The. Honourable Member then read sonic - passages from Hume and Locke, upon the probable results of alterations in 'the currency, which he considered to be G
