NOTICR OF MOTION.

The Bishop of OXFORD said that he had to apply to
their lord•hios—and he did so with conlid, nee, knowing
the readiness with which the house extended its r iurtesy to
any 'Mintier who bad a penonal matter to lay before them.
He hid to request of their lordships that the Bishop of
Ba!ishury be allowed to take precedence in order to move
to-morrow night for the production of a copy of a letter
dated 11:h July, 1811, in the hands of the Ncelesiestiesal

Some verbal ewe ndinents were moved by the Lotto
CHAN. rt.ton cad Laid Bt. LEosanus, and the bill passed

TILE INCOME TAX BILL.
Oa the order of the day being read fur going into cont-
rail:tec on this bill,

The Earl of CLANCAIITY would say one word as to
the ezteneien of this tag tl Ireland, with respect to which
he did not tt.inli that the matter had been fully considered.
It had been said, and said truly, that where there
were equal laws cud equal privileges, there should be
equal taxation. He could not acquiesce with those who
thought Ireland stood ou an equality with England is
laws and privilege.' and hence he thought that in the
budget Ireland had been moat unfairly dealt with.
The Earl of AIIEEDEEN said as the subject of the ex-
tension of the income tic to Ireland was discussed on Tues-
day last, it was unnecessary to return to it.
The E irl of CLANCARTY said he did not complain
that no relief from taxation had been affirded to belied ;
but all he meant to s..y we.. that talcs had been put on
Inland in order to relieve the English talpayer.
The house then went int. committee on the bill.
The clauses up to 13 were agreed to.

On dense 1:1,
The Earl of WICKLOW gave notice that on the third
reading he should rcsive the exclusion of the 13th clause,
and substitute one to provide for the assimilation of the as-
sessment is Ireland to that in England.
Clauses up to :f6 were agreed to alter a desultory discus-
lion.
Lord CAMPBELL then said that he protested against
the mode in which the income tax was levied in Ireland.
He was in favour of the extension of the tea to Ireland, but
be objected M its being levied by a self-assessment. It
would not be a grievance to extend the tax to Ireland if the
system on which it was levied in England was also extended
to Ireland. The tax in Ireland was levied on the landlord,
and if he got nothing from his rents be must pay 7d. in
the pound on the poor law assessment. The bill could not
be altered in that house, but he would submit to the go-
Imminent the advisability of extending to Ireland the sys-
tem of levying the tax in England.
The Earl of ABERDEEN said the remarks of the noble
lord applied to the 13th clause, with regard to which a no-
tice bad been given by a noble earl, which came on for con-
sideration on Monday.
Tne remaining clauses and the schedules were agreed to,
and the house having resumed, the bill was reported, and
ordered to lie read a third time on Monday.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions from
certain land societies against the Registration of Assurances
Bill.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a petition from
&lasso catholic. of Banton, in Lincolnshire, against the in-
spection of nunnenies.
