eleplain AAA, 'certain inimmiceptiatill Width had gone abroad
amongst the Irish:Members on the aabject of this Bill, and to
show, that, so Mr from its being prejudicial., it would be most
edvantageous to their interests. It was on all aides admitted to be,
molt desirable to assimilate in every respect the collection Of the

impediments to their complete identity. With respect to the min-

public commercial interests, that in making these arrangements the
Crown should take cue, that in the future eaten of charge made
by private individuals into whose hands the property should de-
volve, a maximum 'should be struck, beyond which the charge:
should not be increased. There was nothing intended to interfere i
with the fair compel ititm among the warehouses t but, on the con-
trary, this provided arrangement for the public; anti the rates'
.would be &lowed so as that the Irish merchant should have hill
'acconimodaden at twenty-five per cent. chtaper than the lowest
rate ie England. There had been great misrepresentation respect.

cements to show the fallacy of what had been re. mated. Ile had
since communicated with them who were best acquainted with the
whole subject ; and had also satisfied and allayed the opposition
rat several comusercial deputations from Ireland, who new admitted
that they had misconceived the real purport of the 11111. In order,
however, to remove all further misconceptions, he was ready to alter
the commtneement of the practical operation of the Bill until the
to or (Pemba next. In the interim he was anxious that the de-
tells of the rates should be submitted to the consideration of the
Pareomentary einnissiooers, who were engaged in these moat
useful inquines into the state of the revenues in Ireland. eVith
respect to the supposed increase of patmnage to the Government,,
which it was toedwould atiae from the Ilill, he line only th say,l
that the reverse was the case, for the Bill would unquestionably
elienate the patronage hitherto enjoyed by the Customs, and transfer I
it to private handl.
Mr. C. H. lII'TCHINSON expressed the satisfaction he felt at I
the Honourable Member's earnest desire to satisfy all the pordes
wte, thought theineelved about to bee/fixersd by the Bill. Ile had
rensen to hope, that if the Dublin merchants had =tuned satisfied
the other merchantsfrom the different quarters of Ireland would

ever, earnestly impress upon the erovernment, the nee:lolly ofd
paying the utmost attention to the ropresentatiorneof the Irish nine
thaws, so as to give them every Saility •in their commercial ar-
rengements. The Honourable Member then referred to some of
the details of the Bill, otwllich he had heard certain comeilainte•
wet lamented that there wits not time at the instant to consult We
constituents. He wished the opetation of the Bill postponed from
I October to January next, for at the latter period any to:Creme,
remedy could be immediateleopplied by the Parliament, which he
presumed would be then sitting. This ereold be fair to all parties,
and in no respect diet-rimed:igen the public interests.
Sir 11. let KNELL declared himself peefoctly satisfled with
the Lion. hlember's (Mr. 'terries) enplaned= of the Bill, which

enactment.

that the details would be made geneedly pelatable to the commerce
of Ireland.
Colonel DAOWEIrIe was glad to hear that the explanations
were so generally satisfactory, and hoped OW further opposition
would be made to the
Mr. I,TII I NSON declared that he'would not press any per-
tinacious opposition to the Bill after what he had bard; he
wished his observations to stand merely as a suggestion to IM 31a-

agreed to, and the Bill

ANNU mu..
On the motion for committing the Superannuation Fund Bill,
Mr. BA NKKS complained of the operation of this Bill, which
would throw a burden of fifty thousand a-year upon the public.
Ile alwaye thought the rates of superantrostion were made too high,
and the period of service teo short. Too much was throe for indi-
viduals, and too little ter the public. Above all, lie dejected
to giving, in this manner, a sort of +rested interest to indi-
viduals. He knew that certain qualldeatiobe bad been introduced
under the superintendence of the Treasury • but lie much doubted
whether, from the pressured' business at diat Board, them quad-
cations would be applied. Ile never, in principle, could under-
stand why Men engaged In publicoffices, who selected themes.
eloyments, should be made afterwards a burden on the public, a
eon of resource Dot looked to nor expected in any other line of life,
where men were obliged to depend for ultimate support upon their'
own provident arrangements. They ought to depend upon their
own public resource:stand private sr ascents by the institution of
insurances, or in any other manner they thought proper to sub-
scribe. These being his opinions, he should move as an amend-
ment, that the 11111 be orniiiiittedthisday'month.
Mr. el ABERLY said, that Irving always pressed. the coos&
derail= of public economy on the Home, be was 1111110‘1% to ex-
plain his mesons why ou this occasion he should support the origi-
nal motion. Ile thought that economy bad indeed which withdrew
from old public servants the reward of long and laborious service.
Ile could nut approve of that bounty which merely allowed men
by tontine to subscribe for their own ultimate provision,. but, on
the contrary, preferred that the reward should be held out by
the public as the fair gratuitous inducement foe zeal and fide-
lity. Wear:,
lord BINNING tienieil that this was a new burden about to be
introduced to the public; on the contrary, it was the perpetuity of
. an old and well-regulated and just arrangement between the coun-
try and the public servants, and the public semitone and the placing
things as they stood before the Act of IRV. He then pointed out
the difference between the Clerks in the India Board and others ;
tor three clerks, whatever be their merit, whatever their service,
were not relieved by the old Superannuation Act • and he could
rot holieste to advert to a most meritorious and faithful public see-
aunt, who bad retired two years ago from the India Board, Mr.
Cumming. Ile emend the India Ward in the year 1791, end re-
