MARQUIS Or CAMDEN. 9 GIFT TO THE rest:lQ—The
Karl of lavearoox. rising to move the second reading of the
Bill which applies the interest the Marquis of Camden had as
Teller of the Exchequer, to the public ieteiCe, telt it his duty to
offer a t sw observations to the House upon the iinpottant
sacrifices made by t'de Noble Marquis. The Tellership
of the Exchequer was originally given by the ;man. vier-
. citing its prerogative. as a reward for eminent services rendered
by the Noble Angola's tlk?, in his great judicial situation.—
This created a vested interest, and it was without doubt a free-
hold interest when the Noble Marquis gave it up to the yttblic.—
The sutu sacrificed in this way by the Noble :Marquis would not
be over-valued at tlitl.ll.lol. The Earl of I.iverlwul having done
jittice to the liberality of the Marquis Camden, paid a simi-
lar tribute to the kite Marquis of Buckingham, who devoted not
less than 40,00146 to the public service. The Noble Earl CMS-
clusled by moving the Bill be read a second time.
The Marquis of LASISDOTNE expressed his sense of the pro.
priety of the act, which he said would raise the Noble Marquis
high in public estimation.—lt was a noble act. eminently useful.
as tending to relieve the public burden, and also useful as pros ing
• disinterested feeling on the part an public man. He concurred
in what had fallen from the Earl of Liverpool, with regard to
another Noble Marquis. There could be but one aentiment on
the subject throughout the country.
The Bill was read a second time.

tending that it was nut idolatry. as stated in the declaration
acquired by the Statute. He concluded by moving the second
Trading of the Bill.

The Bishop of :sin OW ICH in seconding the motion said, it was
well known to be his topinion, that a capacity to hold public
office, and to di-cloud public trusts, should be extended to all
whose principles were not inconsistent with the social and moral
interests of the community. Five millions of men ought not to
be proscribed. because some persons thought they utideritocal the
tenets of the !loutish Chunk better than the llomish church
itself. The nature of those tenets could not be accurately under •
stood, but from the statements of the members of that citureh.—
They had the affirt»atioint of living inen distinctly disclaiming
the oil principles that Lad been imputed to their faith. On the
general tinpohey of our exclusive laws, one of which it was the
object of the gill to remove, it would not become a clergyman to
dilate, after the able manner in which it had been pointed out
oit this and on former occasions. With respect so the religious
kart of the question, he must say. that he never heard the decla-
ration against transubstantiation made without a sentiment of
self-reproach. In compliance with law it was made and requited,
in sprte of the misgivings which it might eeeasioa. The law, it
was said hal been long established, but injustice could derive no
defence from its antiquity. lie could out approve of making
the title to office depend upon principles and tenets which mt.
pected only the abstract of omits of religion. When precautions
against the Catholics were no longer justified by necessity, it was
the duty of Parliament to repeal them.
The Archbishop of C /0401' Ett sum T as a Protestant would not
quarrel with a Roman Catholic on the ground of his religious
principlenhemight kunint his errors, but be was at the same time
disposed to reverence his inte4rity. Rut in this dangerous age of

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MCINDAV. 11.: NE 7.

OPPIRISSIVE WILSON presented a
Petition from an individual, named Bressington tar beiere),
late of Goodman.' Fields, and nu* of Great Peter-►treet, com-
plaining of the ruinous tendency of the present state of excessive
taxation, and praying that the lluuae would pioase before it
increased the people's burdens. The lion. NI ember repeated his
declination. twit lie would not consent to any additional taxes,
till there was some redress of grievances—till there was more
sympathy before the Parliament and the People; and he added,
that he would radar lay his head upon the bltxk Join agree to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Resolutions, or to one shilling
of Additional tax. (Hear, hear.) Petition read, and ordered to
be printed.
Lord Caallllol7ll4 brought in the Bill for the more effectually
prevention of poaching.- Read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time on Thursday sc'nnight.
FINANCES—THE NEW TAXES.

The Cu Auer st.oa of the EXCIICQU El Übe !lOUSe having
resolved itrelf into a Committee,) brought forward his series of
Violence Resolutions, read on a former day pro forma,com biding
with expressing the opinion that it was expedient to increase the
Taxes to thee/want of Three Alillions. The Right lion. Gen-
tleman said, that at, there was a deficiency in the inmate of the
country, as amperes! with its expenditure, previooly to
entering into a detail of the means by which such deficiency
could be met, it was obvious, that a preliminary discussion
on the general question could not but lie advantageous
and convenient to the Home. That was the view with
which he had proposes] the Resolutions now to be decided upon.
His Resolutions were founded on the content, of the Finance
Relents ; the fat. ,:sserted and sums stated were draws from such
source. Having detailed those Resolution% winch are already
failybefore the public, the Right lion. Gentleman, adverting to
the first Rceolution, which states the defitiency of 118.4-mmog. by
the repeal of der Property and other taxes, observed, that he
amain not now complain of the decision of the House on that
occasion. lie hoped it had been productive of good—but at the
same time he felt himself hound to say that the credit of the
country could not be considered as placed on a sound footing, as
promising safety to the ritates exixpt there was a surplus beyond
the Expenditure—a real Sinking Fund. Had the Property Tax
been continued on the modified plan proposed by hint in 1615,
the debt of the country would aothave bee.) increa.ed 18,000,0( Pol.
nor woakl the debts have been contracted with the Hank. The
unappropriated War Taxes no longer tem:tined, and it was evi-
dent that the time had now arrived when the Parliament was
required to Jetemtine on a more permanent and regular system
of meeting the expenditure of the country ; and as there was a
deficiency, the question was, what amount ought to be raised to
meet it. &calming to the 4th and 11th Finance Reports of the
last Session, and the first Report of the present Session, it appeared
that ter the year coiling January, tart. the Expenditure was
54,...10,0(01.—the Income 31,300,0001. leaving a deficiency of
2,900,0001. For the nest year the Expenditure was 5t9tr1.0001.
—the Income 52.300,1 01.—lexving is deficiency of 600,0e01.
For the current year the Expenditure was taken at 51,000,0001.
—the Income was 54,000,0001.—the surplus was 1,900,0001.
This surplus would not enable the country to provide for such
an extinction of ifs debt as would enable it to meet further
emergencies; the surplus of two millions only, it was obvious,
would plant the country under such restraints as to prevent the
Government front attending effectually to any pressing wants;
then was it not ads istable to provide fur such an extinction of
the public debt as would enable the country to be prepared for
the future? Ile assumed that it was. The surplus was only
4,ooo,regil. but it must be 3.000,0001. to render the Sinking
Fund a real Sinking Fund, and effectually to provide for the
maintenance of public credit. Such a surilus would afford the
means of attending to the prosperity of the country, and that end
would be dilated by increasing the burdens of the people to the
amount of 3,0111,00b1. (Hear.) He should mention the amounts,
and the items DOW by which he should propose to raise such sum;
the mode of increasing the duties, &c. he should reserve for de-
tail in the Commhtec of Ways and Means. Without going into
any examination of the particular iten:s, all he desired of the
Howie to determine on the present occasion teaS, whether the
House would agree to the nicking of a great effort to sustain
public credit. That was the great question ; the articles to be
taxed, comparatively speakiw, were of small importance. (Hear.)
Having thus disposedof such general detail us he deemed essen
tea) to his main ariaintcet and resolution, lie would proceed to
enumerate the stitches int which he proposed that there should be
imposed talditionil duties. The first was, foreign wool the in.
crease of duty en the importation of which, he calculated, would
produixt 300,0001. Fiont the consolidation of the Customs
vio.oul. more. The re:twining artieles came tinder the head of
Cruise. The must prothinrot artiti was that of Male. (Hear.)
He was not about topropose the renewal of the duty taken of
after the war, but a considerable part of it. That duty had beets
abandoned or. the n presentations that it would contribute to the
int provena nt of r ieultuie, and that it would tend to reduce the
prier of hoer, an article of such essettial use to the poor; but he
was sorry to say that the eapectatione held forth in such reprc.
