PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. H. BERKELEY rose to ask a quake of which bia
had given notice, via. whether the First Lent of the Ad-
miralty had any objection, sad whet, to produce the pipers
of certain vessels of war, via , the King Gemge, Prins*
Frederick, Duke, and Primness Amelia, which is the year

under letters of marque, and captured nucnerdus prises,
amounting in value to upwards of a million sterling.
Sir F. BARING had no information as to the million of

at the Admiralty likely to answer what he had supposed to
be the perpcs e of his hon. frieLd ; if, however, they were
wanted in order to carry on a suit before the public tribu-
nals, he was not aware of any objection to furnish any dint
might be found. If his hon. friend would state the sue Cr
the Admiralty, and specify what papers be required, they
should be marched for.
TITHE COMPOSITION (IRELAND).
Mr. SADLEIR inquired whether it was the iallenMen Of
government to introduce a measure during the present omits
to amend and simplify the laws of Ireland for enabling a
party to alter his lithe cemposition according to the average
price of wheat or oats. The certificates now in taw were
based upon the average price of the seven years preeeding
the lit November, 1921.
Sir G. GREY replied that there was a power of septennial
revision in Ireland by application to the justices at quarter
' entsiese.
THE FLORIN.

Major BERESFORD inquired whether it was true that
the further issue et the Merin, or 2s silver coin, had been
countermanded, audit so on what ground ?
Mr. SHEIL answered that the issue of the new 2e.
piece bad not been countermanded. All that had been
coined had been put into circulation, but the reason why
there had been no further Ins was, that a complaint had
been made in certain quarters in reference to the omission
of some words on the obverse of the coin, which he now
frankly told the house he thought ought to have been re-
tained. (Hear.) He might readily shelter himself from
ail responsibility in the mutter by saying that it was no
put of the duty of the Muter of the Mint to dote:mins
on the design for or the inscription upon any coin.
The design for the florin had been submitted
to the council, and approved of by them. He
had teen directed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer en
iambs on the reverse the words " One florin "—" one tenth
N a viand," and from the number of the words he found
there was a difficulty is introducing tho usual words " Dai
patio," and "Fidei defensor;" and busing observed that
on tome Indian coins and some copper coins, the words
" Victoria Regina" only were os the obverse, he suggested
that it might be as well to adopt that form, and disencum-
ber the win of the number of words which wherwies must
base bees weerded upon it. That suggestion it appeared
was sated *pea and the coin was so strueic, the omission
seesping the notice of the council, though it had not
escaped the microscopic eye of some hon. gentlemen opposite.
(Haar, hear.) But as a proof that he was not influenced by
the narrow (scaliest and bigoted feeling—(hear, Isser)—as-
eribed to him by those who did not know biro—(loud cries
of " hear, hear,")—he might refer to the Ers, piece which had
been issued shortly after he succeeded to the office he now
held, and which was, be believed, admitted to be one of the
handsomest coins in circulation—(bear)—where the words
" Fidel dilemma?" and " Dti gratis" were to be found.
(Hear, hew) If they asked his own private opinion, with
regard to the words " Fidei defensor," the title, which had
been conferred on Henry VIII. by the Pope—(hear, bear)—
he would tell them that he regarded the Queen as the head
of the Protestant Church in this country, and had no wish
to dis'urb her supremacy ; and as to toe " Del gratis," he
said that a sovereign possessing so many virtues ought to be
regarded by every one of her subjects as the sift of Provi-
dence. (Loud cheers and a laugh from both sides of the
homer)
Mr. HUME inquired whether there was to be a new
issue of the florin or not?
Mr. SHEIL—The Muter of the Mint is only the mann-
facturer of the coin; the Chancellor of the Exchequer deter
mines whether it shall ins' or not.
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND CROWN LANDS.

Mr. C. ANSTEY wished to wk the Under Secretary
of State for the Colonies whether the government
bed remind from Sir Willies Denison, lieutenant
governor of Van Diemen's Lend, any communication
ea the subject of the applications of the lessees of
grew& leads in that island, held for gracing purposes, to have
their nuts reduced from their orseent tencter-rate, as being
exorbitant and oppressive, to a fixed lower rate, and whether
the government will lay t`e papers relating to that sum feet
before the home /
Mr. HAWES replied that cert.in communications bad
been r. mired and considered by th. Secretary of State, and
would form part of a series of pap• to on the subject of crown
lands, which would sh,rtly be presented.
