ResoWed.—That no Bill fur introducing regulations into
say trade, or alterations into the Ins of apprenticeships In
say business, or for affixing marks to any article of manu-
facture to drsign its quality, ur prohibiting the manufactur-
ing of any commodity, or extending the term of any p-strnt,
be read a first time till a Select Committee shall have been

appointed to inquire into the expediency or inexpediency
of the same, and to report to the House the result of their
inquiry.
Air. F. ROBINSON said, that as the Resolution
was confined 111 its application to the interior regu-
lations of trade, he did not know that he had any

objection to make to it.
*Mlle SPEAKER suggested, as it was desirable that
a Statidsug Outer should be as clear as possible,
and as the wording of the first part of the Resolu-
tion left him in 'some measure its doubt as to the
mode of enforcing this, if it should be adopted by
the House, that an alteration might be made in the
form thereof; and also that instead of the last
words, "molt of their inquiry," the words " ob-
servations thereon" should be inserted, to make it
conform as far as possible to the langyge of the
other Standing Orders.

June, relating to iniademeanors against the Excise
laws in Ireland, should be rearmed forthwith.
HIM object in deeiring the production of them, was
to slier the Itiglit Hop. Gentlemao (the Chancellor
of the EAchequer) that the misdemeanors lied not
increased. and that sufficient security was not re-
quired for the burs levied. .
Mr. DENT prevented a Petition from the inha-
bitants of St. Policies. complaining of the combi-
nation suputig the water companies in the metro-
polis.—R.ead, and laid on the table.
MALT DUTIES (SCOTLAND).
Mr. Karim:6T presented a Petition from the
Landed Heritars of the couuty of Argyle, against
the Prelcl4 sprain of lebying the malt duties in
Scotland—and a Petition to the same effect from
the Maltsters and Distillers of the borough of
Campbelhown.—Both petitions were read, laid on
the table, and ordered to be printed.
NEW MALT TAX (SCOTLAND).
Lord A. HAMILTON, before bringing forward his
motion for the repeal of the malt tax imposed
during the last Session of Parliament as affecting
Scotland, put a question to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the precise import of which we were
unable to collect.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
that lie could not make concessions to the extent
required by the Noble Lord, but that he had a
certain allowance its the collection of the duty to
propose.
Lord A. Ilisetweutt exceedingly regretted the
necessity thus imposed out him of submitting the
case •to tjte conolderatiou of the House. The
ground on which he asked fur further concession
was, host. that for a century and more it hail been
the custom to impose but •half the duty on malt
manufactured from barley in Scotland, which had
beets its Eitglaitd ; second, that it had been custo-
mary to lay is much lower duty on malt from bete
or hicg than in England ; and third. the mode
and manner of laying on the new dote it this
flottre last Session.—( Hear, hear.)--Zuf nry
few distilleries had been worked in Scotland
fur the last twelve months, and the few that
were, worked at u loss. When he said worked, he
meant legally, for the large distillers were now
reduced to the alternative of violating the low, or
submittitig to ruin. He contended that the duty
actually levied was through some mistake much
. greater in amount than that intended by the Legis-
lature. The duty on barley in many parts of Scot.
land was greater than the price of the article. Peti-
tions on the subject had collie to the House from all
parts of Scotland. After several other observations
the Noble Lord read his remilutions, stating in sub-
stance, that itt the Acts of Parliament ionised for
the imposition of a malt duty its the )ear 1725, all
several succeeding ones, the principle had breu um.
formly recognised of imposing a duty on Scotland
only equal to half of that imposed on England.:
that flite principle had been gradually departed;
from of late years, till by an Act, 59th Geo. 111...
the whole malt duties were equalised—that the i
great amount of the existing malt tax operated
very injuriously to the agriculture and other lute-
'rests of Scotland.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acid, that
the hareems of all parts of the empire required tlitit
the duties should be continued ou their present
.footing, with the exception of a certain modifica-
tion which lie should propose. He was ready to
admit, that at the time of the union briers-en the
two countries, and fur many years after, the
rlotrou malt made from hurley iii Scotland had
been hut une•half of that in England. But
from that principle there had been many de-
viations in distant as well as in modern times. The
Right Honourable Gentlemais then ieferred to
a slumber of years, commencing with 1713, its
which the malt duties imposed on England and
Scotland had (wets equal. lie meant to rots,'
a temporary allowance of 6d. a bushel in the col-
lection of the tax ms malt manufactured from bigg.
For the satisfaction of the Noble Lord he could
awe, that within the last three years there had
been a progressive increase in the quantity of spirits
di-tilled, and lie had reason to hope that the relief

afforded by the reduction which he prtipoted. of
the duty on bigg of 61 per buidiel, would
mate the smell distillers, and he or the greatest
advantage. AS lie could not puisibly agree with
the Noble Lord as to the diitoitrisgemriit of the
agriculture of Scotland whiCh he stated, he must
move the previous question; which the Right Fun.

House it would be on this point, viz. tha► the ex-
isting duties were too hrlllll..
Sir J. MANJONINANKS complained that the
Act imposmg a.d additional duty on maili made in
Scotland, was passed at • Ixte period of the last Session
quite us/expectedly, when • great part of the Scotch Ment-
be, s had left tore. He concluded by professing tios deter-
mination to vote fur the resolution of eke Noble Lord.
Mr. KVSINIEDT hoped the Right Moo. Gcntletsinn (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) would be billowed to Make
his proposed reduction of from 6.1. to 841. per bushel,
which would, he war persuaded, be all that could be desired.

•
Sir J. MaILIORIBAIIKS explained.
The Citasesuamt of the Excnnatint explained.
Mr flosten.t. regarded this as a measure not regarding
the partial interest of Scotlaud only, bat as one that was
called fur by every principle of jestice.
Mr. W. Siam complained that within, as he Wider-
eight Jays of the end of their Session, and after
the distillers had laid in their stocks, that such quel.
Lions should be introduced ; and he most strongly de-
precated the practice of origivatisg alteration in the taws,
of the most universal effect, at periods of SIMS/mien when"
it was inpossible to procure even • decent Mllinmianee st
Members. Although he was so averse from tido pliaglicei,
yet •it Right Hun. Gentlemen opposite (the I 1 ~agar

posed, it it were pressed to • division, to vote fur the Resu.

TITHES COLLECTION (IRELAND).

On our seinen to the gallery we found
Sir kIRNRY Paaß•tt. on his legs. He said he did not
imagine he need go much at leugth into the subject of the
colter ' of the tithes is Ireland, in order to sheer the evils
of the system prevailing theriotloieh in practice led to great
issjsostice and uppressiou. The litigation also to which it oi
gave rise was incoiceivable. In nee year there were is five f
counties no less than 1,400 tithe actions at the Quarter Set- i
sions, beanies those in the Court of Exchequer. The Hon.
Baronet that read a statement to chew that the greater part t
of the tithes in Ireland were collected fsurn very poor pet-
ions; is the sums did not exceed twenty shillings, of tomb
fifths of the prism's iu his s►atrrarut. To remedy these in- !.
conveuiencrs he meant to propose the revival of a Measure
which pared that House in 1817, to enable eeclesiistical tier- l
sous to lease their tithes, mid that was a measure to which ,
he was persuaded the Clergy were friendly, as It would oe- ,
hem them Gram the unpleasant situation so which they Were
placed. The 801 l he intruded to being is was similar to fiord bf
the year 1817, which passed that/Raise nearly unanimously,
and haul the sanction in Committee of two great mon emir
NO more (Mr. Ponsonby and Sir Samuel Itoruilly), whose:
opinions, as legal men, were, in their time, considered the'
hest authority. It was not carried through the other Horne
f..r reasons which he could not explain. It was not his In-
tention to press the 801 l through the House this &mien,
but if leave was given him to bring it in it might be pasted
throuch the first stage and printed, and the Members would
he iu possession of the meaning of the measure when they
. t
again suet.
Sir Jong NEWPORT wooed the motion, and said, that
the Bill would tit great measure reconcile the people of Ire-
land to the payment of tithes. Wish respect to the pa-
rochial clergy, f his own knowledge he could declare,
that they would hail any measure as a Breit loeuefit where
they could collect their tithes without being obliged to em-
ploy mortars, and the Bill would pat au earl to • goes-
hose which bad caused much disturbance, that of sub-
jecting articles to titbits that acre not before allocable.
He, however, thought it was necessary now to give no-
tice,
