At, four o'clock the Marquis of WINCHESTER, the Earl' of SHAFTESBURY, and the LORD CHAN CELLOR, appeared as his Majesty's Commissioners, and gave the Royal Assent to the Irish Employ ment of the Poor Bill, the Silk Law Duties Bill, the Seditious. Meeting Bill, and,a great number of Private Bills. Mr. TOMLYNS, from the Treasury, presented returns of all offices granted in reversion since Jan. 1821, pursuant to order; and accounts of the quantity of grain warehoused in Ireland.— Laid on the table, SirF. 011131ANEY and others brought several Private Bills from the Commons, which were read a ,first time. The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from the Clergy of ,the Archdeaconry of York against the Catholic Peers Bill.--Laid on the table. The Earl of EGRENONT,Kcsented a petition to the scone effect from the illagictqes - 4 Inhabita,nts _of 01.4.,,t4;:l .01 Brighton, in the county of Sussex.—Laid on the The Earl of HAREWOOD presented a Petition fiTom the Inhabitants of Leeds and its vicinity, praying, as, it was un derstood, that the duty on wool might be repealed.—Laid on the table. Lord KING presented a Petition from the Magistrates and Inhabitants of the Town of Wakefield, in the West Riding of the County of York, praying for the Revision of the Criminat Code.—Laid on the table. Lord SUFfIELD presented a similar Petition froth' the-In. habitant§ of South Shields:—Laid on the table: Lord SIDMOUTH presented a Petition from the Dean .and Chaptet of St. Peter's, Westminster, against the Catholic Peers' Bill. FINANQLIL 'ARRANGEMENTS. Lord KING under Stood that the celebrateailin of the Trea sury for _paying off the Dead Money by an arrangement with the South Sea Company, had enttely failed. The Noble Earl at thethead of the Treasury, however, had not. informed the House of the result, or of the other plans which it was, no doubt,. in contemplation to bring forward in another place. He had heard of one, which, would be very distressirg to the personi whose interests were concerned. It was said that every in dividual on half-pay was to be bid 'for 'or put up to Jews and Contractors separately. Such a project had once been mentioned, but never attempted to be carried into execu tion, with respect to the Property Tax, when it had beep pro posed to put every individual to be_ bidden for by' Jews, as an easier mode of collecting the ,revenue. As reports of this nature had for some days been, amusing 'the town, the Noble Earl opposite would perhaps have no objeCtion to give such . explanation as would yield either amusement or information to the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that if the' Noble Lord would wait till the proper tithe, he should certainly then make it his business to give all the necessary explanations on -the sulject. Whatever plans had been formed would proceed in the regular course from the other branch -of the' Legislature; and it would be premature in him at present to enter into any details. Ha would, however, assure the Noble Lord,. that the idea which he had formed - of what was to be, It'•as extremely different from that which really was, and that there was no in tention to put every individual to be bidden for. The Irish Malt Duties Repeal Bill was read a, third time, and passed.—Adjourned till Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MISCELLANEOUS. On the SPEAKER taking the Chair, the House was summoned to the Lords to .hear the Royal Assent given by Commission tt scveral Bills (for which see the Report of the proceedings in the Lords.) A person from the Office of Chief Secretary of Ireland pre. sented certain Accounts frosts that Office. A Person from the Commissioners Dover Harbour pre sented certain Accounts of the Revenues of the Commissioners, —Ordered to lie on the table. Lord BINNING brought in a Bill for erecting a National Monument in Scotland, commemorating the victories gained by this country during the late war.—Read a first time, and or dered to be read a second time this day se'nnight. Sir WM. CONGREVE presented a Petition from certain Protestant Dissenters of Plymouth, praying for the removal of certain disabilities under which they laboured—Ordered to lie on the table. Sir T. BARING presented a Petition from the Mayor and Corporation of High Wycombe, praying for a revision of the Criminal Code.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. DUGDALE presented a Petition from the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce at Birmingham, in favour of the Bills permitting a Free Trad e , and aga in s t all Protecting Du ties.--Ordered to lie on the table and be printed. Mr. Alderman SMITH presented a Petition of the Church wardens and Inhabitants of Charlton, in Kent, against the Poor Removal Bill ; and anothar Petition from the Inhabi tants of St. Ann, Blackfriars, in favour of the Bill for punish ing Cruelty to Animals. Mr. MARTIN spoke in favour of the last Petition.—They were both ordered to lie on the table. Lord JAMES TOWNSHEND presented a Petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Inhabitants of Ralston, Cornwall, against the Salt Tax. - Mr. L. KECK presented a Petition from the Churchwardens and Overseers of Loughborough, in Leicestershire., against the Poor Removal Bill ; and a similar Petition from the Churchwardens and Overseers of Atherton, in the same County.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUNTER BLAIR presented a Petition from several Growers of Barley,. in the .County of Wigton, against the Re striction on• Scotch Distilleries.--Ordered to lie on the table. M. B. WILBRAHAM, alluding to an observation made by an Hon. and Gallant Friend of his (Sir L Coffin) respect ing the supposed extortion of the Boatmen of Dover, begged to inform the House that a number of Regulations had been en tered into in the year-1816. which had the effect of putting an end to any extortion which had existed before that period. To satisfy the House on this subject, he begged to move for a Copy of the Regulations made by the Commissioners of the Harbour. • Sir I. COFFIN said, that the Boatmen were formerly called Dover sharks ; but he admitted that the regulations in ques tion might have corrected their conduct. The Motion was then agreed LICENSED VICTUALLERS OF LONDON. Mr. BENNET presented a Petition. from certain Licensed Victuallers of London, which he stated to be numerously and respectably signed, complaining of the present system under which public houses were licensed. After a few words from the Hon. Member in support of the Petition, and from Mr. CAREw, Mr. BERNAL observed, that the Bill introduced on this subject by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bennet) was highly objection able as far as it affected vested interests. In went to compel the Magistrates, under certain provisions, to grant an unlimited number of licenses. Mr. Alderman SMITH also spoke against the Bill alluded to by the last Speaker. Mr. LITTLETON suggested the propriety of introducing a clause in the Bill, encouraging the sale of beer of a diminish.. ed strength. After a few words from Col. TRENCH and Sir I. COFFIN, Mr. MARRYATT spoke against the Bill, as affecting the vested interests of brewers. Mr. HUME spoke in favour of the Bill. He approved of it because it tended to break down monopoly; and he saw no good reason why the Beer Trade should not be thrown open to competition. Mr. GEORGE LAMB spoke in favcur of the Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM admitted there was much difficulty in the question, but he thought some means might be devised, by which the monopoly might be destroyed without materially in. juring the interests of private individuals. He did not feel any alarm at the increase of public houses. lie did not see that the increase of public houses would tend to the encouragement of tippling, any more than placing an additional number of glasses and mugs upon a table would tend to increase the quan. tity of liquor drank at that table. He thought the Beer Trade should be open like the Bread Trade. Mr. BENNET defended the Bill. He had, however, brought it forward, rather with a view to the discussion of the subject than in the hope of carrying his proposed measure.— The discussion of it, however, would shew the country Magis• trates that they had, in a great degree, the means of reme. dying the evil. In Wiltshire, the Magistrates, whenever a public-house got into the hands of a brewer, opened another house in the neighbourhood. The consequence was, that in Wiltshire the beer was generally of a good quality. At Ports mouth, Lynn, _Brighton, and St. Albans, most of the public houses were in the hands of brewers and persons connected with the trade. But he really thought that, next to his Majesty's Government, the object most difficult ofattack in that House was the beer trade. He expected to find•all the brewers and malt sters arrayed ,againsChini. He would consent to give up the'clause compelling Magistrates to licence. This he would do, in the hope of carrying some part of his _measure. His object was to put the present system into a state of discipline, without interfering with private .property. He trusted the House would allow the Bill to be read a second time, and the details of it might then be fully settled in a Committee. Mr. HUME said, that in Scotland the trade was under no restriction but that of good characta • Mr. F. PALMER spoke in favour of the Bill • The Petition was then ordered to lie on the Aable. Mr. BENNET. then presented a "Petition irom a Publican, who stated that he had been-ruined by the. operation of the present, liceniing system, and prayed that Ole House would alter that Systern.—Ordered to lie on the table and be printed. Lord GEORGE BERESFORD acquainted the. House that .his Illajegy'had ;received' the Addresses of the Home of . the 18th and 21st instant: • A Message from the Lords here announced their Lordships' ASsent to several Bills. • LIC I ENSING SYSTEM Mr..BENNET moved the 'Order of the Day for the second reading of the LiCense Regnlation Bill.—The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. BERNAL presented a Petition from a Brewer at Ro chester, who stated that all his property was embarked in his . brewery, praying that the House would not pass any Bill affecting his interests. 'Mr. F. PALMER said, there was, he believed, not, one free house in the city of Rochester. After a few words from Mr. BERNAL and Mr. BENNET, the petition was referred to the Committee on the said Bill. _ _ Mr. BERNAL presented two other petitions from indivi duals against the Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. LUSHINGTON also presented a, petition from a Brewer against the Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table.. • The Recogniiance Bill was recommitted, on .the, motion of .Mr. N. GALvEnT. , --Report to be considered .this day se'n night. • Mr. GOULBURN gave notice, - that on the 6th of..lune be should submit a motion to the House rbspecting the preont law of Irish Tithes. • . CHET WYND moved the third reading .of the Vagrant Law amendment Bill., . After few words from Mr. GEORGE LAmn,-the motion was agreed to ; and Mr. U.•LAMn brought up a clause to regulate the Bill as it regarded -Players,, which clause was agreed to, and added to the BilL The Bill was then passed.. Mr. CUItTEIS presented two petitions from certain owners and occupiers of land, in the county of Sussex, complaining ,of agricultural distress, and praying for relief.---Ordered to lie on the table. _ . . Sir T. LETHBitItoGE presented two petitions from owners and occupiers of land in the counties of Oxford end Gloucc-s -ter, stating that the,laws about to be passed for the alleged re lief of the agricultural interest, would afford it no , assistance whatever. He called upon the Noble Marquis and the Go vernment to pause before they passed a measure which was against the general feelings of the country. General GASCOYNE begged to be informed by the Noble Marquis whether he intended to bring forward' the measure alluded to by the Honourable Baronet, in the course of the present evening. • The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he certainly Should bring it forward, Unless there should beta discussion of some length upon .some Resolutions to be proposed by a Right Hon. Friend of his. After a fe* words-from Mr., CURWE'N . anci Mr. CURTEIS, the Petition was ordered to'lie on the table. COKE preSented a Petition • from 'Owners and Occu piers of Landin the Hundred of . Rothercross,,Norfolk, com plaining of Agricultural DiStress. The. 'Hon. Member stated that the part of the country from which this Petition came was in a most ruinous state. He assured the Noble Lord'opposite (Lord Londonderry) that he shonld be very glad to see him in Norfolk, in order that he might judge for himself. The com plaint of the country gentlemen - was, that 'sufficient attention was not paid to the Petitions sent to that House,and for that reason a complaint of the kind was inserted - in ie Petition.— Read and ordered to be printed. Mr. BENNET moved for a Return of the Report of the Commissioners of Audit in the ease of Mr. Theodore Hook, and also the Correspondence which had taken place since.— Ordered. . Mr. Alderman WOOD garrliotke of a motion 011 the sub ject, of Ilchester tiaol for the lath June. CORN IMt'ORTATION BILL.

On the motion of the Marquis 'of LON . DONDEItitY, it was agreed that the House at its rising do adjoUrn to Thursday next. THE BOWDITUAES. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from one of the Female Members of this Family, complaining that she had been kept twenty-one weeks in prison upon a conviction ob tained by perjury ; that.one of the perjured witnesses, Mary . Whitby, had lately been discharged without punishment; and that she had reduced herself to penury in attempting to bring her injurers to justice. The Petitioners.prayed the House to , take her bard case into consideration, with a view to affording her such relief as she deserved, and that the House would in stitute an inquiry into the conduct of the Judges upon her trial. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed, that Mary Whitby was discharged with • the consent of the Couhsel- for the prosecution.—The Petition was read and laid on the table. NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS. On the motion of the 'CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the House resolved - itself into a Committee on this subject: The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then said, that in rising to call the attention of the House to this subject, he need only briefly recal to their recollection the principles of the Resolution they had come to on the 3d of, the present month. By these the House had recognized the Naval and Military Pensions, granted upon the authority of Parliament, as a dent to which the good faith ,of the public was pledged, and were as much bound to discharge, as any other portion of public debt. The House had also recognized .the principles of so apportioning this part of the public debt in such a man ner, as to relieve the nation from the full weight of it for a certain number of years, by converting it into a fixed annuity for a term of. 45 years. After the House had agreed to their Resolution, it was understood that it was the,intention of Par liament that the measure should be conducted on the principle of open competition, in order that the whole proceeding might be carried on with the utmost candour. He confessed that for his own part he never had been very sanguine in 1-:s expecta tions that any party, except some of the great public bodies, would become the contractors for a scheme of such magnitude. The results proved the accuracy of his notions ; for although much negotiation and communications of different descriptions had taken place, part of which was before the public, no ar rangement had been concluded of the nature which he had been authorised by that House to make. He now therefore came forward, to lay before the House the proposal for another mode of effecting an object in every respect so desirable under the present circumstances of the country. The plan he was about to offer for their approbation and sanction would be found to possess many advantages over' that, before agreed upon. It was proposed that the Public should itself become the contracting party upon the present occasion; and the ad vantagei of this would be, that by keeping the payments in the hands of Government, the party would become respon ible to that House and to his Majesty's Treasury, at the same time that the risk would fall, where in justice it ought properly 'to fall, viz. upon the public itself.—(Hear, hear, hear !)—The advantage of all profit accruing from this plan would be the property of the public : and if any loss arose out of it, it would fall upon the public, as it must have done even had no such arrangement been made. He hoped therefore,that, on the point of principle, no objection would be made to this new mode of providing for those payments. The Hon. Gentle man then read his first resolution, subsequently read by the Chairinan. The duty of making the quarterly payments, and receiving the dividends of the annuity, would be vested from the sth April, 1822, in trustees to be named by Parliament, and the whole would bC• conducted with as small a charge for SEVINPENCE. management as possible, an advantage which would result from ' the appointment of trustees. The sum of 2,800,0001. had 14e - en assumed as the proper amount of annuity,-although perhaps it might have been smaller if contacted for by any private body, supposing the rate of interest to be little-more than three and a half per cent. --. In 'making the contract or the part of the public, it was not necessary to be . partic u l a r as t o t he prec i se sum, although his Noble Friend (the Marquis .of London - - derry) in stating the general plan to the House, had very pro perly ass - limed a particular price. The calculation had been made upon the 'Three per Cent. Consols being at the'ripposed price of 821. Buf taking them at 751., the amount would be 2,862,8001. • about 62,0001. more than the S um p ropose d in the originafstatement. With the rate of interest at 4,1 per cent., at which it was fair to asuirie it, .with reference to.the late great financial Operation, the sum would be 2,902;0001. and perhaps that would have been a fair ratio for any contract in this case. Ile mentioned this. because they had taken it at 100,0001. less than it would have been in the. event of any ether arrangement having been • entered into with A. priYate party. But they did not agree to remit taxes to that amount. The remainder of the proceedings as to the --con duct of the plan was very important. The Annuity would be placed hi the 'hands of Trustees to be. - nominatat by the MIL lie should prspese that the Trustees. be the . sort of• ;persons which bad hith er t o b e e n • connected with.,' the - issue and payments of these pensions. These wer e—the first Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of -the Exchecluer,Ate Paymaster-General of the Forces, the Master-General - 6f the Ordnance, the Treasurer of fhe Navy, - and the:Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England. As the payments were made through the Bank in some measure, it was highly desirable that a free and confidential communication, should subsist. The second and third Resolutions were then read by' the Right Hon. - Gentleman as follow : 2.," That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the said Trustees should pay into the Exchequer the several annual sums hereinafter mentioned, by four equal quarterly instal ments, on or before the 15th January, the 15th April, the - 15th July, and the 20th October ; the first payment thcreof to be made on the 20th October 1822.--[Here follows, a series of an nually decreasing sums, from 4,:400,0001. in the ensuing year, to 300,0001. in the year ending 15th July 1867+—And that the said several sums, or such part thereof as may be necessary, should be appropriated and applied conformably to the saici Resolutions. 3. " That it is the opinion of this Committee, That for the purpose of enabling the said Trustees to make the several pay.. ments hereinbefore mentioned, at the Exchequer, at the ,seve ral periods aforesaid, they should be empowered, from time to time, to sell and , dispose of so much of the said Annuity as may be necessary for that purpose, but so as that no greater amount, of Annuity should be sold or disposed of, in any one year, than would be sufficient to . raise the sums necessary to cotni;lete the 'whole of the payments to ,be made within the year, or to dis charge and pay ofl' the Principal and Interest of any Exche quer Bilis which : may have been issued on account of such payments." It was desirable that the power to issue Exchequer Bilis should .be given to the Treasury, in orde r t o e l u d e t h e necess i ty of going into. the market when in an unfavourable - state for the sale of any part of the annuity. Accordingly this was proposed in the Fourth Resolution, with the power of resorting to other • Funds for the payment of the interest upon such advances. The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to state the Fourth Re solution to the Committee : " 4. That it is the opinion of this Committee, That for the purpose of enabling the said Trustees the more readily to pro vide the means necessary fo'r Making the said payments, in the most convenient and economical manner, the Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury should be empowered to issue, to the said Trustees, Exchequer Bills to an amount not exceeding the sums necessary for completing from time to time the said payments ; which Exchequer Bills, together with interest thereupon, should from time to time be discharged arid sa tisfied by the said Trustees out of- any monies to arise by the sale of the said annuities, or out of the dividends thereof; and that, until such payment, the interest accruingdn sin* Ex choquer.Bills may be Aid out of any supplies voted by Par liament." The first half-ytarly - dividend, amounting to 1,400,0001. would be paid "on the 20th October,' commencing from the sth April; but the Trustees would have a quarterly payment of pension to make before - this, and for the 20th of October, 75,0001. over. and alms e the portion: of dividend • received, waild be required to meet the demand of the pensions. For the January quarter it Would be necessaryto be prepared with a million of money, from one source or other. On the sth Of April . following another half-yearly dividend would be paid; and 'on the:sth of July again there would be another pay ment of a million to make. In the October and April quarters there would be no difiiculty, but provision must be for the. payment in January and July. •The 'whole difficulty would consis...e.-- . ;a - pkviding for the firstyears. In three, years the amount . of the penskns would .be reduced to 4,500* ' ol..:is five 3 ears to 4,100,0001. ; and in seven years it Waild be 4,000,0001. 'rite annuity in the hands of thetontbigsianers aftera certain time Would meet the amount Of the petisiOns,r.t d 'therefore there would be nothing -to'.prJvide when that period should arrive. Antong the various points Of view I T which arrangement irrangent was important, :was its relation to the Sink ing Fund, inasmuch as it would be, connected with that esta blishinent. They were. bound by. 'the resolutions of that Parliament and the preceding to uphold the principle o f a Sinking Fund, to the amount Of five millions ; and no part of that would be taken front that fund by this arrangement, 'but the five millions would . remain in the hands of the Commis. sioners to the end of the term. This new arrangement provided its own extinction in 45 years, at the same time that it added no' permanent charge to the burdens of the country. There was a fnture charge of half-pay and pension to be irieun.ed, which would not be provided for by this plan. Although a suns of 2,200,0001. would be saved to. the public annually,- yet a proportion of that would be reserved to meet-the growing charge for half-pay which must arise. It.was difficult.to-esti mate the probable amount of this charge,. which must depend upon the rapidity of promotions and other causes not easily cal culated. But it was proposed to reserye 400,0001. a Sipar out of the saving to the Wylie to be appropriated to this purpose. Ile considered that in less than eleven years the - Sin.kiag Fund would have arrived at that which was -proposed to. be its maxi mum at compound interest, viz, to the proportion of one per cent. of the whole debt. He proposed, - therefore, that 400,0001. should be added annually to the Sinking Fund, to a,ctumulate at compound interest till it was .wanted to meet the growing charge, as he had stated, for half-pay. It was plain, therefore, that this plan must, in some way or another, operate in the re duction of unfunded debt. He had stated that there would be a saving of 2,200,0001. by this arrangement, and he proposed to give 1,800,0010. to the public ' in the shape of remission of taies.—(Hear, hear !)—The remaining 400,0001. would' be ap propriated as he had before stated. It might, perhaps, be con sidered'as premature for him to go. into a statement of he taxes he should propose to diminish. Spch a course might y. - ear the semblance of presumption, in assuming the sanction of the House to the plan he was then only laying before them. But, as he wis.d9drous,of bringing the whole plan ofhis Majesty's Government under the view of the House, and knewhow inte resting this branch of it was to persons out of do or s and to Honourable Members who felt with them, he wind take the liberty of proceeding to that part of his subject without re serfe.--(Hear !)—He had selected such taxes for reduction as appeared to him most likely to, meet the feelings of the country, and, what was more, afford substantial relief at the same time. lie believed there was but little difference of opi. nion either in the Petitions presented to that House, or in the sentiments of Hon.. Members, as to its betng desirablethat the Salt Tax should 'be reduced.—(Hear, hear.)—He had taken the liberty to object to a motion of the Hen. Member for Ware ham (Mr. talcraft), at the beginning of the Session': for the reduction of this Tax, because he thought the Mode in which he proposed to effect that reduction would be 'mbar rassing and injurious to the. trade in that article,_and also because it was connected with an attack on the public cre ditor, but not from any partiality for the Tax itself. The amount of duty at present was 15s. on the bush e l of salt, and he should propose to give up 13s, of that, leaving a duty of 2s. a bushel, which he intended should be equalized through out the United Kingdom, including Ireland.—(Hear.)—ln doing this, hoWever, it was necessary to consider the interests of the trade ; and it was obvious that the remission of 13s. would be ruinous to the dealers in the article, .and all' traders, whose commodities bore a portion of it, if it were not removed to a certain limited period. Although, therefore, it was his intention to move the Resolution directly, he did not contens plete the reduction of this duty before the sth' January next. The stock now in hand_would by that time be disposed of, and by an arrangement with the Excise all further. 011c:dais • might . be obviated. Though the public would. WO-, thty d wouldways have this benefit in view, and meanithite the
