price of porter ?
Mr. C.II.VPRT remarked that the effect of a half-penny
pet put would be equal to 21s, per quarter on malt. Now
what tile goveron eat gave n as only equal to 6.. 63. Of
he pill ler pike, the goserninent got Hires-Milloence per

pence..

Mr. BIZIGIIT was glad to find that the repeal of this

they knew steels In he the fuel ; it • hoped that, even before
the prcLent session rimed, they would repeal some tax that
would at once cll'ard them and the country relief. Tliete
was no rbanee of trli.•f w thisut real acute...li in of taxation,
in which nll 'he !tenpin of Legland would I,e beneficed.
Mr. BENET (Wilts) said, that the country wnul.l nut
derive allay Ittunlit lint r [hut reduction of taxation in
which the people would be benetitted. If the repeal of
any such to% we re proposed, Le %void(' support it.
Mr. W. SMI ni I callallortl, that whether this (C(111(.14)11
were beneficial or 11111, the repeal of the malt ditty was
chat lied been loudly called for. If it ;matured no be-
nefit, the Loth was not the ministetsl. lie was glad that
it had taken place, it' it were only to spew that tale wishes
of the 'tropic mime atieuded to in that house. As to the
relief to ;eat e, it would benefit it about three far-
things per acre.
Mr. CALYERT understood that the object of the c-
peal was to relieve agriculture.
Mr. 1). GILBEICI said, the repeal was calculated to
Intel ease the t•onsumption of malt ; that was the (Italy way
ill which benefit could result to the farmer. As ill re list
to the country, he did nut view this measure as one that
Was calculated to afford such 'whet.; the lethal of the
salt tax would indeed relieve the cottony. lie, however,
should not support its repeal this session, if the malt dilly
repeal were persevered in.
Sit I'. LX,TIIIiItIDGE said, there was nothing like
relief to the agricultural interests in the repeal of the
malt ditty; lie had expected that government would have
Conte down Wills a vet y different measure of relief. lie
knew what the state of the country was, and lie felt as•
bored that tic present system of taxation could not go on.
(Hear, lieu r.)--M inkters most change their course, if they
see iottsly tt•ouglit of aelieviug agriculture.
Mr. 'l'. WILSON deprecated the continual agitation of
agliceiltstral interests, while there was a committee on the
subject silting. It would be better to wait for a report.
Sir C. BURRELL lamented that ministers had given
up this tax, without consulting better with their friends,
fur though they gave up a million and a half, the benefit
would not lie to the people in general.
Mr. cALvEitir reminded the committee, that those
who brewed at home would have the malt duty to pay.
He did not expect all gentlemen to understand this sub.
teen, but he hoped that they would comprehend what they
heard; it' there were error about the prices, it most I/0
flout the defective manner in which he had expressed
himself.

Gen. GASCOYNE said, as the measure had gone thus
far, he should not throw soy o.istacles in his way ; but he
hoped that it would nut be lung
_before the salt tux
repealed. (licor.)
Itcsulutii n agreed to. Report on Moud:iy.
1101111011iE postponed his motion respecting
Mr. Hunt till the V7th inst.

1.01.1 J. RUSSELL asked whether the sending a letter
to sevetal members, signed " C. Arbuthnot," calling on
Cleat In attend," as the Opposilion, despairing of
into power, pal titularly Lord Normatiby, Lind Altliorpe,
and Mr. Creevt y, were pasting( a system that was calcu-
lated to under iiiiii e the best itaterests of the coital)," was
not a breach of the privilege* of that hone ?—(111.4r.)
Mr. C. AItHUI'IINOT said lie had written sou sod'
letter to private ft lends, but he had not felt It
strained ht expressing his opinion of what lie (let toed a
system; lie, however, had never intruded to violate tho
privilege. of the house.
Lord NOIIMANBY knew his own motives too well to
feel affected by the lanatage of the letter ; but was it
not something like a lu•each of privilege to say that his
conduct or system was calculated to undermine the best
nattiest.? . .

Lord LONDONDERRY thought private letters were
not to heroine the ►utrjret of nose rvation there. Surely it
v.a. nut imputing improper motives to say that such
system xa• etoculdtett to undermine the best interests.
Lord J. RUSSELL appealed to the chair as to the
character of she letter._

The SPLAKEIt, replied, that to have directly imputed
improper motives would have been di.:ordetly—but 1...
could not see where was the impropriety or teasuning ou
the effects of certain measures.
Alr. C..%ll.llliTklNO'l' said such wax his object. It
Was a letter to II private frit:mt.—he had out even a copy
ot it. _ . . .

Lord J. RUSSELL said, on this explanation, he should
not pees, the subject fusilier.
Lord NOR3IANI-tV gave notice, that on the Sitil af7tl43,
be should loose an addles to the King, to dismiss ene et
the Joint Poottnasters.
Dr. PHILLIMORE said lie should on Wednesday next
move fOr a bill to *mend the Alart i.ge Act.
The house then went iutu a committee of supply on the
Army Estimates.
Lord PALMERSTON then brought on the remaining
estimates fur the military service, moving 287.00111, fur
the contingencies of the ariny.....They were severally
agreed to, without any division ur amendment.
Load PALNIERSTON moved a grant of 87,0001. fur
the stall abroad.
Mr. HUME opposed it, proposing its an amendment ft
reduction of 14,0Ju1.
Ni. ELLICE, iu supporting the necessity of reduction
in onr expenditure, complained of the mad' abroad sic
being too extravagant. He likewise complained of the
expenditure in the colonies, salaries of the govt., ours, ti.c.
Mr. GOULBI:RN said, he had last session ausviticil A
good many 'tithe complaints on this subject, but he was
perfectly ready to fight the battle over again.
Lord PALMERSTON 'gilled, that in the stall all pos.
tilde reduction had taken place.
Air. HUME pleased his atneudinent--he should take the
sense of the tee un it.
A division consegittittly took place. The numbers wets

Mr. HUAI E contended that this was by much too large
grant, and moved a ceusideiable reduction of the pro.
posed 01111.
Mr. MABERLEY agreed with bia lion. fi iend that this
was 413 tali avagitut lieu.* but the preAlit state of the

home, his lioa. friend was but w4siing time and strength
in opposing it. Ilia lion. friend had done much in the

a Lager income than the royal duke:; lie wis'ued to know
if the noble margaii would give the excess to the public?
Lard L(,NI)ONDERRY was not prepared to answer
