MA LT DUTY BILL
IatsrIINGTOW brought up the Resolutions of the
Cammilt4 on the Malt Day Bill.
LUttl A. HAMILTON slatted the strong objections lie bed
to the Coen of the Bill,as it affected Scotland. In Scut had,
ia•cwniic (renew of the lower price of barley, a lower duty
than that laid in Englaiiill was imposed; but io consequence
of the Bill passed ■1 the close of the last Session, the amount
of ;Intl on a quarter of barley, iu Seollarid, Was within woe
hhitli t` of its value. The main comparative effect of which
bete. cu the Iwo catuntries was, that while the duty in Eng-
land was lowered, that in SCU:11IIII bail bean raised. Surely
the reale of duty ought to be made commensurate with the
itual jou and condition of each country. As the law now
hoot, iu Scotland it was s tximilly on illicit rhatilleli 000 . As
the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not now in his place, he
cont.! not proceed to occupy the attention of the House
longer, but would r his further ob lions fur the

only ; The euilence of the'Peop e had at different
timer produced strong effects on the conduct of the
Hone. The attainder of Lord Strafford was pro-
doc.-il in that way—the names of the Members who
at first opposed it were posited in conspicuous
places all through lawn, and the fury of the po-
pulace directed against them, and the intimidation
*hick followed led to the inhuman murder of that
Nobleman. Ile thought this was an abominable
publication; and that if the author of it was, as
N Gentleman, he should on that account

Lord NUCENT explained.
The question on the original motion was then put
soil canted,
SEARCH FOR ARMS.
Lord CASTLIMILAGH moved the order of the day
the second reading of the Search fur Arms
L;111.
Mr. TIERNEY raid he had no intention whatever
to provoke • debate in the present stage of the
measure. His vibjection was not sia much to the
principle of the Hill, which was local and tempo.
rarv, as to certain provisions of it. Therefore lie
thought it most advisable to let it peas the second
nailing anti go Mt° the Committee, where perhaps
the amendments might be adopted. which lie
thought requisite. If not, there were two subs,-
linen' stages at 'stitch it might be opposed. A
douse to which ice most strongly objected was one
enirosterilig one Justice, on any DIrOMIDIIOIII, to
grant his warrant fur entering into the house of any
swan by night.
Mr. BEN w Art hoped the whole of the county of
Northumberlaffil would not be put under the ope-
ration of the B 11. All its purposes would be an-
swered Icy making it act on certain parts thereof.
.Ir. LAMBTON hoped that the Noble Lord
(Caatlereagli) would feel it his duty to state to the
House whether he had made the inquiry he pro.
mseil, in consequence of what had passed in the
House last night. He now again asked the Noble
whether hr lied seen any communication from
the Deputy. Liesetesient of the County of Durham
to any of has colleagues, containing a representation
at the rod or the peaceable state of the county ?
Lord CASTLERIAGH said he had made itiqui-
ries, and discovered the communication made. re-
ferred to by the Hon. Member. But the evidence
it ..horded slid not go the length that the lion.
Member (Mr. Lanibton) warmed to imagine. It
merely stated that the county was not in a state of
tumult at that time, without venturing to assert
that tranqinllity would be permanent. Now it had
never been alleged on that side of the House that
the comity was ill a state of actual tumult, but
only in such a state as might lead to tumult.
'Elle letter was written (we understood) to Lord
Solution!). in consequence of an application to
certain Magistrates to call out the yeomanry, by
The commanding officer at Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
lie curisideritig an additional military force necessary
fur the security of the county. The letter con-
veyed intelligence of this application. and added
what he had before mentioned. as the opinion of
the writer. The South Tyne corps had in fact
been put'on duty in consequence of the command-
ice Ificei's wash. This was the only document he

had seen.
Mr. Witmrrox said, that the sweeping state-
ment. made by the Hon. Member (Mr. Lanthton),
of the trai.quillity and loyalty of the county of
Din Will. pl4cril other Gentlemen connected with
it, and who had reason to differ from him in opi-
nion, is rather an awkward situation. He felt it to
be his duty, however, to lay before the House the
grounds usi which he was compelled to think very
differently from him. He also had received intelli-
gence, he should not say from whom, for to declare
their names publicly would most indisputably ex-
pose the individuals to be murdered, bat should
lie mention their names, they would carry with
them the credence of every Gentleman who heard
I • . The information they fornirheil was, that ins!l
those parts of Durham where the colliers inhabited,
there existed a s;.irit of disaffection, which not only
led them to contemplate prospective plans. bat
manifested itself by a state of organization, and a
note of preparation for moving and acting whenever
it might be thought expedient. His informant
added. that he knew that all the pitmen in a cer-
tain district arra infected with this spirit ; that they
were all divined into broads of twenty men, with
leaders to each; that they met every week, and
that there was a regular correspondence kept up
between themselves and the colliers in the West
liiihog of Yorkshire. He (Mr. Wharton) said,
that Iftmourable Members knew there had been
w ineeticg of Magistrates some days lance, to
coss,ither of the best means of preserving the
teanquillity of the county. He had received
another letter bout a Gentleman who had been
an shy years a magistrate, and who, he believed,
sta. the lam UMW who Would too easily yield himself
up to alarm. 'fins correspondent said that he
(Mr. Wharton) knew he wee one not cosily alarm-
ed, but that it would be apathy not to feel some
"prehension at the danger which then as it were.
lay at their doors. His firm and deliberate opinion
was, without some stung protecting measures,
there was an end to the security of therepto7 lif

people were infected with no disloyalty, though en-
thusiastically attached to the clause. of reform.—
No* it was extraordinary that the teflon, thee all
openly stated they wished for, walk not a reform
in Parliament, but in plum terms. ■ transfer of
property from those who possessed to thaw who did
not mown it.

Mr. LAl.lll'Oll said, that were it not for the dio-
agteeoble nature of the subject. he should have been
extremely amused at some of the observations of
the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wharton), but the sub-
ject was too serious for mirth. Yet he thought it
a little extraordinary that a Gentleman who had
not been for some years in the comity of Dur-
ham, and who, when he did reside there, lived
some miles distant from the people against whom he
had preferred inch heavy charge., 'tumid come
down to the House and make lions concerning
persons exactly opposite to what he (Mr. Lambton)
had stated, who lived almost aMong them. and had
mated the most diligent inquiry to he made into i heir
conduct. He then ,described the contents of a let.
ler lie had received from ,s person who had • few
days before lwen present at a meeting of owners a
coal-mines. where the fact of the collieri having
arms happened to he discussed, but not one among
them could affirm the fact of his own knowledge.
He stated, however, that the colliers hail been
pretty generally claesed. but that that was very
much atoning. and that it hail prevailed among
the colliers only, mid not among the smiths, or
any other description of workmen. He never re-
collected any year in which the men were more
anxious to work—he did not remember one idle
day among them, but that of the meeting at New-
castle. 'sir. Lenibton proceeded to say that lie
had also seen a Gentlemen from one of the villages
to which lie had before alluded, in the House, who
represented every thing there as perfectly quiet.
This intelligence had been confirmed by another
Gentleman from that county, with whom lie had very
recently had a conversation. He had informed him,
that many of the persona classed as radicals had left
the classes. His Hon. Friend (Mr. Brougham) had
suggested that he ought to explain what that classi-
ing meant. It only implied that persons formed
themselves into parties of 20, who ebonite a leader to
read a siew.pme r to them. purchased in common.
He could nut allow the fact of classification to lie
ally evidence against these persons; lie believed in
his lieeritt it was done fur no other purpose but that
of reform, and not to pass Agrarian laws ; and that
they were as quart soul peaceably disposed as any
description of his Majesty's subject.. Accordingly,
he still adhered to his intention of proposing in
the Committee, that the county should not be
within the operation of the Act. He assured the
Noble Lnrd, that in making these inquiries, he
had been actuated solely by a desire of dissipating
what he conceived a false alarm.
Lord MILTON said. he believed there was no
comiexion whatever between the colliers in North-
umberland and those in Durham. He lamented
extremely that a Bill like the present should be
proposed to be continued for two or three years,
when it was in fact totally uncalled fur by the state
of the country.
Mr. El. Cues said, he had received a letter
containing the deposition of four gentlemen. as to
the state of certain parts of the county of Durham,
and read the depositions. They stated, among
other circumstances, that certain individuals had
attended at a meeting (that of Newcastle, we be-
live) with arms concealed about their persons ; and
that pikes and other offensive weapons had been
made and distributed among the inhabitants of a
certain place, the name of which escaped us.
After a few words from Mr. BROUGHAM',
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he considered the
state or the district had been sufficiently establish-
ed by the nature of the meeting at Newcastle, and
was now confirmed by the admitted fact of the clas-
sification of the pitmen. He believed the House
would not be disposed to trust to such legislators.
He had seen it stated in a letter to an Hotinoutsble
Member, that certain persons had been turned out
of the employ of the lion. Gent. (Mr. Langton)
for being classmen. It might be worth inquiry
what there was in the classification which caused
those who fell into it to be discharged from the
service of so excellent a reformer.
Mr. LAMBTON said, that the overbearing tone
its which Hon. Members on the opposite ride of the
House thought proper to indulge themselves ass
as well known, that scarcely any thing bearing that
character was to be wondered at. It was too much
to be taunted with the name of Reformer, and that
by those who had never Tritiated to sheer themselves
before Reformers, when it wits well known that he had
gone among themouid fearlessly expressed sentiments
diametrically opposite to theirs. and endeavoured
to convince them of their errors. • Now, with re-
spect to the fact adduced against lain, he thought
it required to be sheen, that there was no other
reason for the discharge of the men but their
having been classmen.
Lord CASTLEREAGH knew perfectly well, that
though the Hon. Gentleman might be a reforiser
he was not a radical one, and inch an imputation
could never have entered las head. He knew that
he lied attended the radical meeting ut Newcastle.
and manfully avowed his own sentiment., and la-
boured to convince them of their folly mid delusion.
But he thought lie placed too much confidence in
Diem, and he had mentioned a fact to shew that
his agent did not look on them in so favourable a

light:
Mr. LAIIIITON wait', that after the explanation of
the Noble Lord. *lnch no one had more the art of
putting in a civil way. he could no longer believe
that the Noble Lord meant any thing personal.

BRDIMILS, DECEMBER 7.
lire learn from the Hague that the esamination
of the decennial budget, and that of the tinnier-
dinary expenses for 1840, eve termioated iii the
sections of the Seemed Ckomber, but that this shb-
ject cannot be yet dimmed publicly, because of
the series of questions timid before his Excelleitcy
the Minister of the Interior. The repoi-ui in circu-
lation concerning some arrests at Amsterdam, are
so contradictory, that it is still impossible to form
an opinion of them. The author of the work
" the the present State.: the Kingdoms of the
Netherlands, and oh the moss ms
it,"
is now confined ; it is said that some other proems
are iinplicaied iii this affair. There is no doubt but
it will be brought before a Court of Jostles. sad
then what appears obscure in it will be cleared up.
HAGUE, DECEMBER 3.
The General Netherlands Gazetteer and Advertiser
