I i Clause was aeTeed to. ,0 \Vl,Ltaironcg proposei a Clause for giving 11e abaleinents -to persons of moderate fortuues hay . families. He wished to divide those persons !rita two classes : • the first from t DOl. to 400. per ann.; and the second from that to 5' Owl. per ann. The Clause was ,suppo;tted by Mr. SrENCtIC , ', STANHOPE, and,Mr. HuDrmEsToNE. Mr. VAN ITTART thought it was necessary to try the experiment of the Bill in the simple shape it was ',low presented. He considered that it was the dedu&ions and modifications" in the ,Jate AC that di , minished so much of -its produ6.tiveness, and which caused it tp be so much evaded. He thought, if there were abatements on account of children, it should be as much to the' rich, where children were an expence . and a burden, as to. the poor, to whom they were an advantage. • . Sir H. MILDMAY supporteJ the Clause. . Mr. W. STITSI the - tght- the dedudion proposed Wonld be, to many persons,' an objeEt . of the greatest importance. Suppose a person who pad an income of 2001., per annum, an-A ten children, a deductionof 101, out of 201. would be a must material objet to Wan. We, ought not to' give up all considerations of justice and humanity merely for the sake of .Waking a new TaX simple or prodtidive. Lord HENiiY PETTY found himself obliged to op pose the Clause introduced by the Hon. gentleman; however he might join in his feelings. He had a duty to perform to the Public, which was to make the Tax produ6tive. If it should fail of being pro 4udive, the House must then impose other Taxes, Which would press as severely. The Hon. Gentle- . man came forward .as the advocate. of a very merito 7 .09us part of the Comrriunity ; but in opposing it,'he Considered himself the advocate of the community itself. The 10 per cent. IncoMe Tax only produced live millions l and a half. How then :were the re- Maining five minions to be provided for ? He con ceived there were .no Gentlemen in the. House that were prepared to offer any other. Tax to sUpply such a deficiency: Mr: BAicEES supported the Clause. The House then divided-;= • - For the Clause - 74 Against it . - - 26 • Majority - Mr. TY,WHIT :TONES brought up a Clause to punish those Assessors who made vexatious and op pressive Surcharges. Lord H. PETTY read a Clause in the Bill to the same effea. 'Consols ot. STOCKS THIS,DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK. 60,1 I W11114:1 , 11 -.. T E S UN. °GEM QUIS pICEIE FALSUM AUDLAT ? -ND 0 N, TtrES9AI ; ,, 1\711.i 20, 1806., Sir H. Muirwi approved rather of Mr. Jones's Clause, that gave the remedy before the neighbour g Justices, whereas the Clause in the Bill gave the remedy before the CoMmissioners only. Mr. W.I. Smiali complained of the prevalence of Vexatious Surcharges, by which many persons who brought them forward got rich, particularly with re (Tea to Surcharges, for Assessed Taxes. Mr. ROSE disapproved of the Clause asapplied to this particular Bill. It might perhaps be a. good Principle to adopt generally. Mr. EralsoN, thought Government would -get credit by freeing the Country from the vexations of these persons, which were often felt more oppressive than the burdens themselves. HERBERT and some other Gentlemen were in favour of the Clause. "Mr. VANSITTART replied'. The . Clause was then put and UegatiVed. The Bill Was then ordered to be read a third ~ t ime on 'Wed nesday next. The farther consideration\ofHthe Report of the Ele&ion Treating Till was .po'stpdned till Thursday. The 'consideration of the Petition of Chalmers and Cowie .vas fixed for Friday. 'The ()diet' Orders of the Day were then read. Adjourned at Half-past Twelve. o'clock. • MAILS.

It is said that the,,trial of the Prince DEAuEtts- BERG IS ended, and that his sentence has been sent, sealed, to St.Tetersburgh, to be submitted to the E mperor, to whom thit; satisfaCtion is conceived to be ,due. It is presumed that that SoVereign will recom-• mend a pardon for him, which appears to be Wished , . here, as the Prince has in reality always been a faith ful subjeofand a' worthy man. • M.
