PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, Motu) Ay, JULY 1. ROYAL ASSENT. At a quarter to four o'clock, the LORD CHAN.- CELLOR, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and the Mar quis of WINCHESTER, appeared as his Majesty's Commissioners, and brought the Royal Assent to the following. Bills : The Pensions Duties Bill, the Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, the Tonnage Duties Repeal Bill, the Sheriff's Depute Bill, the Doyle Divorce till, and four private Bills. The Scotch Distillefy Bill, and the Westminster Improve ment Bill went respectively through Committees, and were re ported. MARRIAGE ACT. The Marquis of CAMDEN presented a petition from Char lotte Ann Hayward, a young . lady of respectable connections at Brecon, who stated, that being underage, she had suffered herself to be peiSuaded to .marry a person of the name of Josiah Crutchley, who had deceived her by false representa tions, and had, she had since discovered, obtained a license for their marriage by a false affidavit. They had no sooner been married, however, than they had been overtaken -by her brother, who brought her back to her mother's house, where she had resided ever since, not having cohabited for a single day with her pretended husband. Proceedings had been instituted, but no decision had yet been gained, in consequence of the eva sions of her deluder. She feared that the Bill now ,pending he fore the, House would affect her case and confirm her in.arnage, and prayed such alteration hr the wording thereof, as might re lieve her from its operation. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that as the retrospective clause only affected those marriages where parties had lived together till the death of bne of them, or had cohabited till the passing of the Act, Miss Hayward never having cohabited with her pretended husband, was clearly exempted frOm its operation. Her case was covered by the exceptions, and her marriage would be invalid after, the completion pf the mea sure. He would only. add, that if the Bill had been passed before this occurrence took place, the offender would pro bably not have dared to procure a marriage by the means which he had employed, as he would then have been subject to transportation for life. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that what had passed this night showed that the retrospective clause, at least, if not the whole Bill, was not well understood. The Earl of LAUDERDALE conceived that as no one was better able to understand the Bill than the Noble Earl; he ought to explain it for the benefit of the House. If he did net do so, it might be thought that he did not understand it himself. The LORD CHANCELLOR. then pointed out some obscu rities in the Bill. Among!it other things, it would leave Cler gymen in doubt what portion of the Marriage Act should be .read in churches. As it stood he himself did not know what, part was to be read. Lord ELLENBOROUGH maintained that no difficulty could arise on that head, as the Bill expressly said that sr, much of the Marriage Act should be read as was recited there in. The other objections related to mere trifles, which. would be corrected without any difficulty. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—My Lords, " Izcc nugee seria ducunt in nzala ;" and I believe that if the Noble Lord understood his own Bill, he would find it one to which he would not give his consent: • Lord ELLENBOROUGH believed that he understood his own Bill. If, indeed, it contained the clauses proposed by the Noble and Learned Lord, the case would be different, for he would frankly confess that even now he did not understand them, and he had conversed with matiy individuals' out of doors, not one_of whom could apprehend their meaning. The LORD CHANCELLOR had neidea that the Noble Lord should know enough of the law of the country to under istand. his clauses, or that the individuals whom he had con sulted should be likely to illuminate him on the subject. - Lord ELLENBOROUGH.--Surely, my Lords, an Act‘of Parliament should.not be drawn up so as to be understood only by lawyers. Such an Act too, as the Marriage Act, so'import ant to the community at large, should be written in such plain terms that the man who runs might read.. - The LORD CHANCELLOR was'understood =to say that the present Bill had been drawn up bylawyers, and that he had never seen any so defective. The conversation then dropped, and the petition was laid on the table. • - —, - -_-_f, 1 0 •.

TUESDAY, 31ULY 2, 1822. and praying the assistance of the House towards the accom plishment of this object.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. GRENFELL wished to know what was the amount of the sum subscribed by the Petitioners. Lord BINNING said, he believed about 24 or 25,0001. And that several thousands more were expected. • Mr. HUME expressed his surprise that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should sanction such a petition as the present.— It was much to the credit of the petitioners that they had pro posed the monument, but- their petition for pecuniary assist ance took away , from that credit. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that 100,0001. had been voted by the House some years ago for the erection of churches in Scotland; and it was conjectured that there could be no objection to prnmote the reasonable views of those who wished to make one of the churches a monument of nationa lhonour. - • After a conversation between Sir R. Wilson, Lord Binning, Mr. Curwen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr'. J. P. Grant, the petition-was oTdered tcrlie on the table. Mr. HUME said, it appeared by returns on the Table, that the land tax collectors were in the habit of retaining in their hands considerable sums which ought to be paid into the Ex chequer. He moved for some fu returns, giving the j)ar ticulars of the sums retained by, and the patronage allowed to, those collectors.—Ordered. Mr. P. RIOORE presented a Petition from 1,100 Persons connected with the Siltc Trade at Coventry, praying for an al teration of the act called the Combination Act. Mr. ELLICE supported the prayer of the Petition. • After, a few remar,ks from Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. Fume, the petition was ordered to be printed. A Message from the Lords here announced their Lordships' assent to several Bills. CORN LAWS. As the House was resolving itself into a Committee on the 'Corn•lmportation Laws' Amendment Bill, • . Lord REDESDALE said, that it was unfit that a Bill-a. this importance should go through a Committee when the Mi nisters of the Crown were not present to explain its nature. He should therefore move that the Committee be postponed till to-morrow. _ _ _ The Earl of WESTMORELAND said, that it had been settled, when the Bill ..was read a second time, for the-purpose of accommodathil„ , several Noble• Lords, that nothing should be 'said in the Committee, but that the debate should be taken on the third reading of the Bill, on Friday next. Lord REDESDALE had, on the contrary, understood the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury to say, that he would open his observations on the principle and nature of the Bill -in the Committee. , , • • , Earl of "WESTMORELAND maintained that .the last understanding was that nothingshould be said in the Corn mittee. He was not anxious, however, to press the matter, and, .as the Noble Lord seemed- to wish it, should -move that the .Committee be adjourned to Wednesday next.—=•Agreed to. Lord REDESDALE presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in some Parish of the County of York against the Corn Importation Laws Amendment Bill.--Laid on the.table. . • • The Duke of PORTI 4 AND presented a similar Petition, from the Editor of the Farmer's Journal.--Read and laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House was summoned to attend at the Bar of the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given, by Com mission; to several Bills, for the particulars of which see the Lords' Report. , Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD presented a Petition from a Mr. Sampson, Clerk of the Crown for the County of Clare, praying that the Bill for regulating the Office of the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland, might be suspended for the present, or that he might be indemnified in respect of the fees which he would lose by the passing of the Bril.—Ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. The Middlesex County. Treasurer's Regulation Bill was 'read a third time, and passed. Mr. LUSHINGTON moved the second reading of the Salt Duties Repeal-Bill. Mr. CURWEN gave notice that, on' the committal of the Bill, he should move for the total repeal of the duty after the expiration of one year. ; The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time to. morrow. - Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from Charles Mad•• docks, now or lately confined in Warwick-Jail, under a sen tence of the Court of Ki's Bench upon a conviction obtained at Warwick through a Special Jury.. The petitioner stated, that the utmost of his offence was his having attributed the miseries of the country to the corrupt state of the representa tion. The Hon.:Member stated that, in his opinion, the se verity of the sentences passed upon political offenders was too great. There was reason to believe that the Petitioner's sen tence had been severer than that of his co-defendant, on ac-. Count of the mode in which he had conducted his defence.— iAgainst this , new practical doctrine he entered his protest, and tie trusted the House would put a stop to it.. • After a few. words from Mr.-Twlss, and from Mr. HOB. OUSE, in explanation, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. • Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from an Individual Against the Irish Coroners' Regulation Bill.—Ordered to be printed. . . The Metropolis Police Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. WODEIIOUSE presented a petition from several Maltsters of. Norwich,. complaining of a Bill passed this Ses sion, imposing additional duties on their Licenses. After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOOD and Mr. #luiuE, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord Br NNWG presented a Petition from several Subscribers to the proposed Scotch .National• Monument, stating, that they Understood the Monument was to include a place of worship, THE BUDGET. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. Several papers before the House were referred to the said CUmmittee, and the House having resolved itself into it, ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said • it might be thought but . just to require. an apology from him, for the course which he now took,, in submitting to the Honse - a gene ral statement of the Finances of the year, previous to. so large a proportiOn of. the supplies being voted as usually received the sanction of Parliament before the Chancellor of the "Exchequer came forward to wind up the whole, and explain* to the House the financial measures which were necessary. Generally it was desirable that nearly the whole should be proposed and agreed to before that view of the Supply and Ways and Means of the Country was entered' upon which he was now about to offer to ,their consideration, embracing all the finan cial op . erations of,the year. At present, he should be obliged to deviate from that course, in consequence of the unusually late period of the year at which they had 'arrived without dis patching a larger portion of the public business. The 'Gen tlemen on the opposite side would impute this delay to Mi nisters, and they might perhaps feel distiosed to retort the 5 charge. It however, was not his object now' to inquire where . C....fault lay, but merely stating to the House that 'it was de- Sirable they should henceforth proceed with the business of the SesSion with the least possible interruption, he would'proceed to lay before them that statement which could not be longer deferred without occasioning very considerable. public incon venience. This, he was sure, would be admitted by the House: In the first place it was desirable that the general statement of the Finances of the country should "be brought forward be fore that period at which a great many Members from various causes might be expected to leave London. But he had fur ther to remark to the Committee, that it was material this course should be taken, as it was necessary that several votes connected with it. should receive their sanction before the sth of July. The Sinking Fund Loan, from the arrarigemeht made in 1819, had been annually taken to the sth of-July. In con sequence of this the Act under which the Sinking Fund Loan had been granted for the service of 1821, would expire on 'the sth of July, 1822. Unless then a resolution were come to in favour of recurring to a similar measure for the service of 1822, it would be impossible, without very great irregularity, to guard against one quarter being lost. • No such resolution being come to, the Commissioner, for the redemption of the National Debt could not make that advance to the puhlie, which the public interest required. The, House had intended that part of the Sinking Fund should be available to the ser vice of the year. But if no vote of appropriation should be come to before the sth of July, the ComMissiondrs would be obliged to apply the whole -of the sum in their hands, amount.. ing to three or four millions, to the tredemption of debt-in the ensuing quarter.. This would not only be a great inconveni ence, depriving the Ptiblic of that portion of the 'Ways and Means of - the year, but it would cause no small inconvenience, from its occasioning the purchase of ~larger quantity of Stock than was by any means desirable. He should. therefore pro, ceqd to submit the Services of the Year to the Howie, even where some of the Estimates had not yet received its sanction. In lining this, he should take , care to keep in view that great constitutional rule, to make no provision by a grant of money beyond what the House might `vOte in Supply. It would be so arranged that no sum would be left at the com mand of the Crown in such a way that it Might be liable to mis appropriation.. In the present case, were a sum so.left at the disposal of the, Crown,, he did not think that any practical evil • would thence arise; but still as the practice was bad in prin ciple, and repugnant to our Constitutional habits, it was one against which he was most solicitous, to guard. In hii calcu-_ lations a sum should be reserved for . the purpose of covering those supplies which had not yet been voted. Having stated to the House that it was his intention to bring the services of the year under their consideration, he should proceed in the usual way to state the Supplies which had already been voted, and the Ways and Means by which they were. to be met. The House had agreed to votes proposed for the Military. Services of the Year, amounting to - - £6,531,090 In this the extra expence incurred on account of Ireland was not included. The total sum called for on account of the Army in the present, exclusive of the extra charge for Ireland, was - - - - 7,705,000 Extra EXpence for Ireland 220,000 Making together the sum of - - 7,925,000 Of which, as he had already stated, there had.been voted - - "- • - • - - • 6,531,000 And the remainder - - - 1,394,000 was 'yet to be brought before the ,House. For the Navy, the sum that was called for was 5,430,000 The whole of which had been voted. For the Ordnance the charge was - - 1,200,00,E The whole of which within a very small sum had also been granted by the House. The total charge under the head of Miscellaneous,' was , - - - - - 1,700,000 Of this there had been voted on account of Great Bri tain . - - 76-1,000 And on account of Ireland - - - 50,000 '1 here had been also voted on account of the Extra •' , Expence in Ireland, under this head - s - 100,000 ,Making together - - 914,000 And leaving, as the Conimittee would see from the Estimates on the table, a sum to be voted of-about 790,000 There would be found in the papers before them, a charge for the Greenwich Hospital mit-pensioners amounting to 310,000 The amount of the Supplies which he had already enumerated was - - . - - • - 16,615,000 To this was to be added the estimated charge for the Interest .iron Exchequer Bills of - - 1,200,000 which had already been agreed to. This made .a sum total of - , - - • 17,&15,000 Of that sum, Parliament had already sanctioned by its votes,' Grants amounting to about - - - - 15,300,000 leaving to be voted about - - - - - 2,500,000 to make up the total he had mentioned of - - 17,815,000 But in the present Session very considerable grants had likewise been agreed to in the nature of ,advances for the reduction of debt. On account of the Sinking Fund on Exchequer Bills there had been voted - - • - • - 290,000 For the repayment of the holders of Five per Cent. Stock there had been voted - - - 2,739,000 A further grant was yet to be voted for a like purpose of, - - - - - 62,000 The sum required. to pay the holders of Five per Cents. in the whole amounting to - - 2,001,000 There was likewise a sum to be voted, respecting, which he felt it necessary to offer some explanation. This was a sum of - r - 290,456 to cover the deficiency of. the Ways and Means s for 1821. Upon this subject he. would now offer such an explanation as 1 the House had 3 right to expect from him, in order to shew that he had not been so tinmindful of his duty as negligently to leave such an amount unprovided for. It would be in the recollection of Gentlemen' who attended to the debates in that House of last year, that, in bringing forward the Budget statement, he had called the attention of the Coniniiittee to a cir cumstance which made it likely that a' small additional charge might be thrown on the country, on account of the out-pension ers of Greenwich Hospital. Since the conclusion of the war, the whole expence of that establishment had been borne by, the funds belonging to it. But from the nature of those funds, which were in a great measure derived from prize-money in time of war, they necessarily declinell in peace, so that it last year became a question with the Trustees of Greenwich Hospi, tal, whether they were authorized to make any farther payments from the funds of the establishment, and whether it was not necessary to throw the charge 'of the out-pensioners on the public. As the question thtts started had hot been fully de cided when he brought forward the Budget last year, he was• unable to do more than state to the House that such a charge was likely to arise. After he had addressed the Committee upon that occasion it was decided that the out-pensioners cotrld no longer be paid 'from the funds oflthe Hospital, , andit there forebecame necessaryito apply to Parliament. A sum 0f260,0001 had been advanced, and a more detailed exp/anation on this subject would be laid before the House,which was already print ed. Taking the three' sums which he had enumerated : ' ' That for the Sinking Fund on Exchequer Bills,. oft 290,000 For the repayment of the holders'of sper Cents. 2,801,000 And that to discover the deficiency -of Ways and Means for 1821, of - - • - - 290,456. Gave an amount for the redaction of Debt, of - 3,381,456 This, added to theservices already detailed, amount ing to - . - - 17,815;000 'ave a total charge of - - • - - 21,196,456 He should now proceed to shew in what way he proposed to meet the expenditure, by enumerating the Ways and Means of the year . ; part of hich had been voted. by Parliament, and the part which remained would be fo thwith submitted to its consideration. In the first instance, he took the'usual annual Taxes which had been already voted, amounting to 3,000,0001. It'would be right that,he should explain to the House, why he took but three millions for the present year under this head, instead of four millions on whith he had calculated last year. This was in consequence of-the repeal of the annual Malt Tax, which had not been given up when he brought-forward the last budget. , The next item he would take the same as lase year ' • namely, the Tea Duty, which he would estimate at 1,500,0001. The next item, the Lottery, he should also take as last year, at 200,0001.—(Hear, hea-rehear !)--elf Gentlemen-should object to the Lottery being inchided in the Ways and Means of the year, he hoped those who opposed it would suggest some ,other equally productive tax to supply the deficiency. For Old Stoies, he proposed to take 151,0001. for the present year. In time of peace'it would be obvious that this item must necessa rily decline from time to time, owing to the atired circum stances of the service. -Last year he had taken 500,0001. on account of the French Indemnity. In the present year he had no item of that sort to offer. ' -It. was not that the accounts be. tween the two countries were completely wound up, but various circumstances operated to prevent their being brought - forward -on the present occasion ; - and, from the delays necessarily at tending such arrangements, he had been unable to prepare the accounts; but early in the next Session of Parliament he should be able to lay before it a complete statement of their appro priation. The next item was furnished' by the repayment of sums- advanced by the Commissioners for issuing Exchequer Bills upon Public Works, amounting to 110,000 - the eseyeral sumsl .. ... gave,.together, for the . . service 0f‘1,11.,,0 e 6r ea o r 6 i sum of Of these items only, the Annual Taxes had as yet received the sanction of Parliament. - Towards meeting the supplies- of the_ year, he now proposed to take a -Loan from the Sinking Fund of " - • - 7,500,000. Perhaps he might, here, as conveniently as any where, state. fo - the Committee the reasons which induced him to take so small a sum from the Sinking Fund. Last year,.it would be in the recollection - of the House, that thirteen millions had been taken from that source, from which it was now proposed to take but seven millions and a-half. He might -as well take this oppor tunity of explaining the principle on which he limited himself to that sum On this:occasion, as defer it till he had guile through the `other part of his statement. As he had already stated; 13,000,0001. had been taken last year from. the Sinking Fund, and in the preceding years it had been common to take twelve millions. His reason for taking na,more than the sum he had named was, in the first place, because he-wished that the Loan Bill, instead of continuing in force, as heretofore, till the sth of July, should expire 'on the sth April. The effect of this would be to bring the subject under the consideration of Parliamentat the earliest possible period of the next Session. Proposirl then that the measure 'to beentroduced should expire on. the oth of April, he limited himself in the present year to 7,500,0001. if he were now to take a Loan for four- quarteie, in the game . proportion, the total amount' to be required for the ser vice of . the year, from the Sinking Fund, would be 10,000,0001. The reason why he took no more than, in that view of the case he was disposed to take, grew out of the very considerable reduction in the nominalSinking•Fund, which had taken place in consequence of the operations • of the present Session, all of which were approximations to that system to which it was pro posed to resort in the next Session, namely, that - of limiting the amount of the nominal Sinking Fund to the sum actually applicable to the reduction of the debt.' Parliament; by an. Act which had received, or was about to rebeive, the - Royal: Ase sent, had authorised the eidvence of two millions eight hun dred thousand pounds for payments on - account of the half pay enilitary pensions. and reductions, which, falling on the Sinking Fund, if added to the ten'millions taken from the no :mind Sinking Fund, would make a total of 12,800,0001. lie : ing nearly equal to the 13,000,0001, taken last year. By refer rine to the , papers 10 and 11, it would be - seen that of the 7,500,0001, borrowed from the Sinking Fund, there • was. taken from elle Sinking Fund of O-reat Britain, 7,350,0001. and from that of Ireland, 160,0001. It was proper that he should now . call the'attention of the Committee to the terms upon which this Loan. had been obtained. 'For -every . 1001. sterling, 1001. had been given in the 3- per Cent. Reduced Annuities, and 241. 10s. 7d. in the 3 per Cent. Consols. • Comparing ehe prices paid in -the present year with those of lege year, it-would be found that 1301. three per Cent. Stock had-been given in 1021, for 1001. sterling, which had been purC4ased this year by 1241. Stock. In one paint of view it'was not-a matter of public im portance whether a loan from the Sinking Fund was obtained at a lower or a. higher rate ;- but it was of material importancewith a view to the public credit of the country, to know that there' was an improvement of six per cent. He should now 'proceed to state what sum would be 'appropriated to the real purchase of It would be found from -the vote come to by Par liament in 1819, and confirmed by • that of the present Session, that a clear Sinking Fund of at least five -millions • should. be established. The total sum that would be applicable to the purchase of Stock between the sth July 1822 and the sth July 1823, was 5,432,0001.e-(Hear,_ hear.)—Last' year the Sinking Fund, it, was calculated, would amount 'to 4,415,0001., includ ing 100,0001. to be paid-by the East India Company. Itwould therefore be seen' that the sum to be applied to the reductien of debt :exceeded by about . 900,0001. that reckoned upon apPlieable to the seine purpose last : year, including in both cases repaymente- to the Bank ; and in the present year a reserve for paling the dissentient holders of Five per Cent. Stock. The next item was a sum of 557;0001. from. the East, India Company. Here it might be for .the convenience of the Committee that he should enter , into an explanation of the state.. of the claims of the East'lndia Com pany: It was well known that during the last twoyears the East India Company had advanced considerable- claims upon the Government, on account of various services performed for the country, and particularly on 'account of the St. - Helena ' Establishment_for the detention of Napoleon Buonaparte.- By • turning . to the paper, Gentlemen would see certain charges amounting to 1,900,0001: but the total claim setup bythe Com pany, amounted to 5,000,0001. They would see that verioue . : objections had been 'urged against- these demands. To-Settle the difference, Commissioners had been . appointed on each side. Those. on the part of 'Government, were Lord- Lowther, Sir G. Clerk and Mr. Lushington ; on the part of the Company, .Mr. Abercrombie and Mr. Bosanquet. The Comniissioners agreed, as might have beenexpected, in their arithmetical, calculations, but many objections were, on the part of Gclvernrnent, urged to particular,claims, and were not admitted. Some were -ob jected to aslaving been -already satisfied,- and others as being ill founded. On the other hand, some of the charges made against the Company by the PaymastereGeneree were objected to on the part of the Company: - In . a - case like this an.adjustment could - only be effected by means of a compromise. , The House would see that the Government and the-Company had to treat in ,some measure like two • independent states. Those' who acted for the Company had the interest of their constituents PRICE SEVENiEiNICE. . . and proprietors to protect : on the other hand the Governthent Commissioners were bound to guard the interests Odle Trea sury and the public, Such being the state of things, it was necessary thaf an impartial umpire ,bet Ween the patties should be found. The umpire chosen was Parliament itself. As the full demands of the CoMpani could not be idinitted, it was thought desirable that the Comthissioners should agree on the principle of compromise, and subthit the result of their deli berations to Parliament. After Much communication had.taken .place between the Commissioners, the character of which would be fully explained by the papers prepared to• be submitted to the-House, it was thought that justice would be done by allow ing to the East India Company on their claims of 5,000,0001. the sum of 1,300,0001.—(Har, hear, hear l)--When the papers came to be read, he thought it would not apPear to the House that the Company had been 'badly or illiberally done by.' He could state that the course which had been taken was such that the result Was Satisfctorito the Company, and upon a fair view' of the . subject, he it would be considered satisfac tory by the House. The next consideration would be as to the application of this suni,• if voted. He thought it would be con sidered as a most satisfactory adjustment if it were set against .the Loan raised for the East India ,Company in 1812. It ap peared to him, that taking this course would be in perfect,eon fortuity with the Act under which that Loan was raised— [Here the Right Hon. Gentleman read a part of the Act of the 52d Geo. 111. cap. 125, to which lie liad referred, setting forth the manner in which the Loan was to be discharged.] Theamcitints of the debt due from the East India Company up to theist of June, 1821, was 1,857,0001. It had therefore been agreed that the East India Company, on payment of the sum of 556 . 0001' . ..in addition to the 1,300,0001. allowed upon their claims, should be released from all' further charge upon that Loan l / 4 Whieli • should henceforward be transferred to 'the, Consolidated Fan& This if desirable for the East India Company was, he 'thought, most convenient for the public service. Although. by this ar rangement an additional charge-Of 70,0001. for the interest was thrown on the Consolidated Fund, .na_additionalburthen *Odd fall'on the public, at least from the creation of Stock, in conse quence of the transfer of the charge in question. The cotintry would, on the one hand, be thus relieved from the claims Of the Company, and on the other hand the Company would be re lieved from the charge of their loan, than which, supposing the arrangement to be a fair one, he apprehended nothing .could be more satisfactory to Parliament. Of .the 557,0001. agreed to- be paid by the East India Company in liquidation - of 'their debt, 27,0001. had already been paid to the Bank' tri purchise of stock. So that only 530,0001. remained to be paid,..and not 557,0001. as the balance of the accounts gave. The - next item was that for which-an Act had passed, and had so lately engaged the attention Of Parliament, and which 'had already received, or was immediately about to receive, the Royal As sent—he meant the Bill for enabling the Commissioners` for payments on account of half-pay, pensions,. &c. to advance the suni of 2,450,0001. for the public service, to eommencelheir payments in the October quarter. . He would then proceed to explain the augmentation which had taken placa in the amount ,of the Unfunded Debt. The state of the Uhfunded Debt, last year was— Exchequer Bills - - - • 29,000,000 Irish Treasury Bills - - 1,000,000 Advances to , the Commissioners of Public - Works and Churches - - - • 368,-,00 Making in the whole - - 1.30,308',000 But this was not .the actual amount ; it would appear by re ferring to the Paper, No. 3, that the actual amount of out standing Exchequer Bills, on the 6th of January, 184 was— For Great Britain - - - - 31,566;550 For Ireland - - - - - 1,105;181 Making the total amount - X32,671;731 The reason why this =bunt exceeded 29,000,0001. was that the. Unfunded LOan was not 'payable to the sth of July; thOitgli the services to be covered by it were, to be provided for ham. Under these circumstances, an additional issue of txche4iter bills became unavoidable ; which made-the real amount eXceed - the nominal' one by the sum be had. stated. llis purpose ferring to the actual amount of the unfunded.debt, was before the Ifouse ,the exact proportion in which it had.heeti in creased by the several measures that bad received their sanction in the course of the Session. The amount of -unfun t led debt in Jan. 1822 was, 32,600001. Adding to this the sum 3,,,ifain the present year (290,0(l01.) to. cover the deficiency in the Mys and Means of 021, and the grant for payment. of the holders of the live.per cent. stock, amounting together to - 3,100;0001. made the total amount of unfunded debt come to sonietbing about 35,0%1,0001. Therefore the increase of unfunded :debt by the measures alluded to, in the present year, tho'.noriiiiiilly 5,831,6701. was really only about 1,000,0001. That Was,:iffere would only be about 1,000,0001.9 f Exchequer bills more in . the market this year than there were last year.. He hoped he'had made the different items clear, and the total amount of .the Supply, it would be seen, was - X16,6L400 But including the Interest of Exchequer Bills _1,520,00 It would amount to .- - - - £:17,8t5,000 And further, including the Sums required for the re duction of Debt, amtßuning to 3,3R . ,45 1 6 Gave a total of: • :421,10,456 The Ways and Means which he - had enumerated.to.meet, the Supply, amounted to - - - £21,2y ,G%O Having gone through the Supply and the Ways and•MeAns of the year in the usual form, he should perhaps best dO his duty by bringing under their consideration the probable anoorii, of the yearly income and expenditure in, the least Officiat . man ner. would take the produce or this year at the actual produce - of the last. lie would assume, if no extraordinary circumstances interfered, that the produce in the year ei4ling April sth 1823 , would be the same, as . that ending ApriNith, 1822. He would state his reasons for assuming this, andpOmt out where Any alterations might be expected. Takinkthe amount of the Customs at - - , - 9,300,i04t) Irish Customs • - - , - • 1,400;81.10 The amount would be together - - - £10,700,000 The Excise for Great Britain at For Ireland - 26;00.floo 1,011,000 Making together - , - ~.,428,366;000 From this - deducting the. produce of the Malt Tax, and..the - re payments allowed for stack on hand, and allowing for the•loss on the Salt Duty, which however would not be pitch, and for the repeal of the Leather Tax, the total to •be dediteted would be 2,153,0001.; leaving the actual sum to be raised upon the Excise to be 26,153,0001. He proceeded to estimate the produce of die Stamp . .duties, the Post Oftice, the . MSeised Taxes for Great Britain and Ireland, deductin , 500, 0001: for the . repeal of the Agrictiltural Horse duties. and the Irish Win doW 'fax. Ile also calchlated the balance in the Receiver Ge neral's hands, the Miscellaneous income,. the Lottery, and the Old Stores, but the e tone •in which the Right Hon. Gentlethan spoke rendered it imposSible to follow him with accuracy. The result was an estimated total income of 53,027,0001.; to which he added the payments to be made by-the Gorrimissioners-foT the payment of Half-pay Pensions, bringing up -.the inoint to 54,252,000. Being so near theslcse of another half-year, it might be asked of him what was likely to be the praduce of the revenue in the qUarter commencing the sth of April, and end ing on the sth of July. If he took th'e amotint for the yas: from its produce, ,as made up last Saturday, he should ptrhaps take a more flattering view pf the subject than drcuinstances would. justify. On that day, the amount of the revenue, since the.sth of April, exceeding by 622,0001. the produce of the correspond ing quarter of last year.—(Cheers.) The amount of the revenue in that quarter, in the •,.. year 1821, was - - - - - - £8,269,000 ,In the present year - - - 8,831,000 Gibing an increase of - - • - - , 1:921,990 He was, however,-bound io state, that this amount of increase could not be expected to be..realised when the accounts, for the year were made up, as part of it arose from anticipateitpay ments,and the cessation of the duties which had'heen reikaled would be more felt in the latter quarters of t 4 Year. There fore they could not expect thatithe year's income would shew an increase upon the last. If it were equal. to it; when, they considered the repeal, of taxes which had 'taken place, it must be highly gratifying. Having stated the probable income of the year at 54,252,0001. he went on ' to state what he expected would be.the amount of expenditure. In the fi4.bt,placc, the sum charged for the unredeemed Debt, augMented. by the. '2,800,000/. by the purchase of the Naval- and Military Pen sions, would amount to • - - - 41;0,911,000 Aliseellabeous charges upon the Consolidated, Fund , 2,648,000 interest.nport .
