LICENSES TO DISSENTERS.
Viscount Stonouvit rose, in pursuance of his
notice of yesterday, for the purpose of makiing his
promised inot:ou Loncerniag the number of licenses
grained under the Toleration ,Act. That statute
of William and Mary. commonly called the Tole-
riition Act. could not he too much appreciated for
the blessings which its liberality had entifttred
upon society. The object of his motion would, he
trusted, meet with equal approbation from those
Twig& who enjoyed the treoefit of that statute, as it
could do from those who espoused the doctrines of
the Estaidishea Church. Alth.iugh he ass one of
those who hailed tile Idessiog of toleration, yet, in
reverting to die principle and meaning of that
Act. so t.v as it concerimil the granting of
lieviises to those who dissented front do; doctrines
of the Church of England. it wis very evi-
dent, considerable abuses had beef. prnetised, un-
der its authority. It would be admitted by all, that
some of those who applied. fee these licenses, slid
so for very is:apse/per purpose*. Thies it happened,
twine, particularly nt certain peridds, obtemed
the lieense of 'u preacher, merely to free themselves
front those claims which their country Inul 1111 their
p setveces, and to which others were en genetally
liable., There W:l4 110 t much oecieiton to trouble tiie
House by geiiig ut length into the uature of these
uhities at present, because he believed there would
not beanie objection to the motion he was about to
propose. But, the fact nal., by applying for the II-
Celise,ull(l paying a shilling, it was of coarse granted,
althritigh the person receiving it never meant to
uremia. or was )I:competent for such an unde rtak-
logs This practice was increasing to a very great
' degree; and he did aotateent to the geueral belief of
the vast increase of these who were termed Dissent-
ers; err, emssiderine the increase of popalatties, he
conceived there %Vas only a proporttonsteaucreast:
those who differed from the doctrines of the Church.
After the returns were made. which he should mote
far, he was not prepared to say that be should pro-
pose any regulation on the suhjert. By returuing
the number of dime who ohteineff linens's' for a se-
ries of year* enterrdeut, aail their increase, it
wouhi indirectly remit out the necessity of attend-
ing to the comfort of the lower orikrs of our owe
clergy. At all event*, 'adopting thia.coarse of pr05...y..6,6g
s...y..6,6g would produee that information which
would be omelet to Parliament, and alight induce
*thens to propose some measure of jireventing these
abuses for the future.' Although et 'night he a very

pose of teaching others their religious duty it
might be worthy consideration how far the mere
outgo:pit of a 'man, without any education„that he
was •elf-culled and self-appointed, should be en-
titled to a license under the statute, without a Cer-
tificate from the society whose religious worship
he was devoted to, that he was a lit person for
the office he war about to assume) Fiona the
great increase of the poi,ulatioti, the churches
of this kingdom were not adequate to the con-
venience of those who were its mettilier.. Many
attended other places of worship, with their font-
lies, because they found it impossible to attend a
church or chapel of their own persuasion. 'lnure
were stroll; mastitis to press this subject upon their
constd.-raton, which pointed nut the propriety of
building more churches, and also sheered the llV-
eeshity of increasing the small livings, Which would
reduce the number of pluralities. His Lordship
concluded bi moving, That a return he
from the Quarter Sessions of each county in Eng-
land amid Wales, .of all licenses zratited under the
Toleration Act, frima the year 1780 to leo9, spe-
cifying the grants of each year."
Lord FIARROWBY rose m favour of the ruction,
but he would propose, as an amendment, that the
returns shmld he made to a still more remote pe-
riod; he oinild propose the motion should inaude
this Kin.fi Reign, and that 1760 he substituted
for F;tmo. lie thought the subject was important ;
and after what haJ been attempted on a for-
mer occution, there was not much hope that any
measure could be well resorted to, for the purpose
of preventing the perversion of that act of pa liu-
nient.. He agreed with the Noble VisCouut, that
the Dissenters hail not increased to the degree re-
prorenteil, and that there was a• want of new
'Churches, mai further assistance to the lower orders
of the Clergy.
" The Archbishop of CANTERBURY orrifessed his
high regard for the Toleration Act. From his own
experience, in two dioceses, he was induced to Ll-
lievetlie Dissenters had increased very much. par-
tiettitirle in the last few years. One cause he con-
ceived to he the want of churches to contain the
people; for the fact was, oar population htd far
~argr,oci, oar inachitiery. Ilitcoaceived the Noble
yisceulit's object was, rather to aid another mea-
sure for 'bettering the situation of the Clergy, than
to Putout an direct proceriliug upon the return.

HUM DISTILLERY BILL.
The House went into a Committee oii the atiove
Hill.
Mr. PARNELL objected to the maitre of the
punishment inflicted by the Bill upon ellth pinions
es were concerned in ui.lireused stills. For the
Rest OfrrlWe, e'o►p.nnl punishment was inflicted;
for the twvoed, tmeapottaimi. lie did tint approve
of oath severity, especially us the aystein now acted
on was so defective as to give enr•.ouragement to
' the offence. lie would theref.-we move, “ That the
clause inflicting sueli punishment should be omit-
ted."
Mr. BERNARD disapproved of the entire system
of laws that regulated the distilleries of Ireland.—

He yrws strengthened iu his opinion, tint only by
' the Irish Commissioners sti inquiry, hilt by a tri.,l
of the present bynteill for marry cams. by,
con-
',ended, that at tau period were illicit distilleries
Carried on to a greater extent than the lost two
years, winch must alone be attributed to the pre-
sent re;:ttlations. Though the Right lion. Gentle-
man n Gold not at present agree to a change in the
aystent, he was happy to hear him say even so tirm.ll
as that next session he would medt an inquiry on,
thu subject. He (Mr. 13.) pledged himself to bring
it forward at 'un early period, and hoped to cow.
since the House that a change of the system would
be of considerable advantage to bath countries, by
encouraging agriculture, and increasing the re
venue,
Mr. M A KTIN said, that lie had never yet heard
of corporeal punishment being inflicted fur a fiscal
.offence ; RUED at punishment, in much a case, was
unknown to the constitution. iiie.ides tht nature
of the corporal punishment was nut aseurtatined—
whether it wits to be flogging or hiattging they did
not know. Great are, lie admitted, *hook! ha
taken of the revenue; but not by subverting the
pnticiples of the British Constitution.
Mr. WRITBILEAD said, that the ninny experiments
of thin kind which had been adopted its other eosin-
tries of Enrolee, should act as a wanting to tlieni,
boss they would resort to ton great seventy.
After some farther observations from Mr. rssi-
yen, Sir Jona NEWPORT, dt and Mr. iA.:Ram) ; Mr.
FOSTER agreed to withdraw the trunigraph.
Mr. PARNELL ohjected to the clause which pu-
nished the carrying of spirits, illegally distilled, with
transportation.
Mr. Poem It said, that the punishment was di-
rected, not against the bare carrying, but the force
resorted to for the itotivearice of it.
Sir NEWPORT proposed tin amendment to
the clause inflicting corporeal punishment for mis-
demeanours, as.it left too much to the discretion
• of the Courts of Justice, and the penal laws were
already too severe iu Ireland.
This was supported Mr. MARTIN and Mr.
Poxsonny, and opposed by the CUANCELLOi of
the Excireouen, and Mr. BARRY.

In consequence of what passed, Sir JOHN Nm-
PCRT agreed to withdraw his amendment till the
third reading of the Bill.
After the Committee had gone through the va-
rious other clauses, the House resumed, and the
report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
Mr. BARHAM moved, .‘ That there be laid be-
fore the House Copies of all Memorials or other ap-
plications presented to the Lords of the Treasury,.
the Board of Trade, or either 'of them, since the Lit
of June, 1808, respecting the admission of foreign
►ue,ars for home consumption, upon payment of
British Plainution.duties, together with copies of
the Report of the Commissioner• of the Customs,
and the Warrants of the Treasury, or any other
answers returned thereto."
This .motion, after some observations from Mr.
-lU►RtssoN, was agreed to.

Mr. ILtansu gave notice that he would, on Tues-
day, move fir copies or extracts of all letters from
the governors of colonies is the West ladies, rela-
tive to the state of those colonies, us connected
with the depreciation of their produce.
Sir JouN N zwronT wished to know from the
Right lion. Cent. opposite (Mr. Foster), whether
any compensation had been made to those who had
salted by the abolition of certain Custom-honse
fees in Ireland, in consequence of a late uct of
Parliament'
. Mr. Fume answered, that he had not yet heard
of any claims having been laid before the Treasury;
sad, until they were made, nothing could be done.
The Bill now before Parliament, for regulating the
Custoni-house business, would allow the Lord Lieu-
ti.aant to compensate those who clitieueJ.
THIRD REPORT ON PUBLIC OFFICER.

On the motion of Mr. MARTIN, the House went
into a eninalittee upon the said Report.
Mr. M Salt?: then stated, that since this %abject
was hist before the Liouse, nothing had occurred to
make hint alter his opinion as to the Resolutions
belied suggested, One thing however had occurred
to strenetheit the stateluent as to the necessity of
econany in the public expenditure, namely, the in-
fnrination Said becore the House, as to the resources
of the country. From the return made of the
amount of the permanent taxes, contrasted with •
the expenditure of the country, it must he seen
with concerti, that in order to pay the iiitt rest and
charges of the additional debt incurred, the war
taxes must be permanently pledged, even in the
time of pence. tie then entered into a financial
statement, in order to spew this necessity ; and con-
cluded with moving his first Resolution, which was,
o That the present ardisout ritaativa of pulthe
the ineree.ii! .:right of taxes, together with the charge,
iacurrud by the war, absolutely require retrenchment itt the
larger branches of the public expenditure."
*Mr. HtOMIIIIIOt4 entered into a comparison or the
amount of Taxation and Revenue of th:,, with
preceding years, in order to do away what lie con-
ceived to be au erroneous impressiou the lion.
nr hail conceived of the financial affairs of
the country; and to 'hew that there was no
necee-
sity fur despou.deney.
Lord Fotastmee conceived that there was much
fallacy in the arguments used to thew the prospe-
rity of the country.
Mr. TtEnsee observed, that the fair way of stat-
ing the circumstances of thecountry was, to estimate
what would probably be the result of our Financial
Establishment, were peace to take place to-uior-
row morning. He had initile a statement, from
which it appeared that the re would be an expen-
diture to the amount of 49! millions, with which
we must meet our peace establishment' • without
allowing for the winding up of the war, and to meet
this, there would be a deficiency of upwards of
7,000,0001 which must lie procured either by a
continuance of the Property Tax at 5 per cent. by
having recourse to a Loan, or by laying no some
new taxation iu lieu of the War Taxes which should
expire.
Loot MILTON thought that the discussion was
biking a turn entirely foreign from the miliject of
the Third Report upon offices, nod therefore tug-
gt steel the propriety of proceeding to the matter iu
question.

of various retrenchments of offices that lord tskei,
Alice shice I 7.te. by the exertiona of Governmeor,
during various tottLinisirations. The conclusions
he 4rew from dorm were, that no less Ciao 878 of_
lieu* had been wince that period, down o
the present time ; and that a saving, had arisen to
the public of 31.1,d0n1. per ihminn. He put
therefore, to the House, whether there was actu-
ally stay foundation for molt a charge being moue,
that the goiennnent of the country had no &wow-
tion for economy ? He then remarked upon the
come Paved in negociating luaus, compared with
those of former periods; by the renewal of leases
of crown lands ; by the (-beast in the meatier of-
drowhig navy bills ; to which he added, the savings
upongoverutucnt debentures, and which, altogether,
lied effected a saving of nearly two millions

of what hail &lieu front tIM Right Hon. Gentle-
man (far. Rose).
Mr. Cavity entered into the history of the 41
per cent. duties, and cuutende4 that the Crown
hod no right to ergot ponsioas in the way it did.
Sir JOHN NKWIPosiT ol)Atrreti, that as a -state-
ment had Leen made of the savings under Nit..
Pitt's Aihniiiistrutido in Euglaltd. he hoped a simi-
lar one would be made of die savings in !rebind ;
iis he found the decreose of the Cavil List, under
the head of pensions, prevented, as far us
by a Member of the present Cabinet, while
Lord Lieutenant of that country. In 17%4
the Civil List way, after much struggle, I' •ted to
80,00 01. and no mo-e than 1,:tdol. a-year to Ire
granted in future; and yet, as that Act wa,
to take place seven moticii after, it was sw,fdleet
with no less than 13,0031. to the bite-Ain; and in the
five years he presided in that country, the NlllOOl6
I.IA w:.,increased 35,00 Di. He declared his in-
temitni of offering a proposition, bolitiog the Pen-
sion List of frets:el tn., it or 40,0001: altar, as its
relative proportion to this country. Ac to .the
application of the 1,1091. he should only say, the
year before last. it wag illrided between hleurilm:l4
of that House; no doubt, for good coosideration.
Lord MILTON contended, the four and a half per
cent. was olwava a public and not a priyatu fund.
upplicuble to the service the island of Barbadoes,
turd diverted from it to the Pension Fnnd, as appear-

rd from a memorial to Queen Ann, coinplui ll ll cf
it, mid her promise thut the Fund should lie restored
to its proper channel. •
Mr. IVHITCREAD did not think that any one man
could manage the affairs of lodia and Ireland to-
gether. The Board of Controul he had nuder-
stood to be at ti:at instituted without a salary. Ile
thought thuf the pension list was unnecessarily in-
creased ; he did not see what necessity there was,
or whatim.tice towards the public, in peusioningoit,
for life, persons wlio had nut perhaps served two
years 4lotrice. No opinion could be more mistaken
than that of supperstii.g that persons ofabtlity would
not undertake an ()thee without the prospect of .1
pension. The influence of the Crown in that
House, which, theoretically speaking, every one
should deny, was advanced too far ; he would there-
fore move as an amendment, " The further limita-
tion of persons holding ploces or emoluments un-
der Government.etititled to eilin that House." Ile
wished it to he poeticuiarly understood a, his in-
tention to cxelittle %Velsh Ju,!gea.
Mr. Peace vat considered •sorne of the "legit..
meets adopted on the taller side us of a most Iris,
tocraticul nature. The Hon. Centle.uan opposite
had advanced the theory against the practice of the
• Constitution. With respect to the Welsh Judges,
there veere no men less likely to le: iuflucticed by
improper motives.
Mr. Smtru agreed in the opinion of the imisolicy
of such a number of pensions.
Mr. Pomsoritiv said, that the a sieodment pro-
posed by his Hon. Friend was one most important
to the Constitution. He had an inclistutwo to
agree in the principle of the amendment, but be
submitted, whether its magnitude did nut entitle
it to mature deliberation, and, consequently, le-
quire that it should be t!eferred
Mr. Lirrtierote,Mr. THORNTON, aud Lord
FOLICSTONE., agreed in the principle.
Witeraasati again maintained his opinion
with respect to the exclusion of Welsh Judges ;
even the Master of the Rolls, with all his ability,
would he as well out of Parliament. He was wit-
hug to withdr.iw his proposition, as Gentlerden
seemed to wish for time to consider it; he would
therefore uatrie a day in the course of next week
fur its thscussitio.
Mr. Ron. opposed the amendment.
Lord H. PETTY in a few words supported it.
A conversation then ensued between jr.N Pace-
val, Mr. Ponsoithy, Mr. W. Wynne, Mr. Footer,
anti Sir John Newport.
Mr. WELLE4LEY Pots spoke in explanation of
his having held a 'notation in the Exchequer of e-
land, and assured the House that he served without
any emolument, ithhough it had been represented
by the Remendriancer that he had received corn-
petoottisti.
Mr. Timmy explained. .
Mr. % itraltame said, he would withditiw his
Resolution, Kiel 'Ace an opportunity of bringing it
