O❑ the motion of Mr. LUSIIINGTON, the House went into
a committee on the consolidstion customs: act. Mr. L. tnoved

s 11..44'114ms to amend the net.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY asked whether the proposed amend-
ments would operate as an increase or a decrease of the duties.
Mr, LUSHINGTON replied that they would operate us a
diminution.
Sir J. NEWPORT trusted that the Douse would attend to
this subject, for consolidation and amendment bills had, of late,
been little else than direct increase of taxes. What he 'should
expect was, that the House, by means of accounts in double
mit :inns, showing the present and proposed duties, should hare
an importunity of judging of the contemplated bill.
Mr. LUSHINGION would hate no objection to afford all
peraito:• information.
Resolutioos agreed to.—Report to-morrow.

poned till Friday.

cessary to apply for a continuation of the Habeas Corpus Sus-
peneien Act, Ireland.

in Ireland, he did not consider such continuation of the ac
weuid he necessary.—(Hear.)
Mr. S. RICE moved for returns of the trials that bad taken
Cece under Ile! act.
Lord A. lIAMILTON inquired whether it was intended
t h ripply for a renewal of the Irish Insurrection Act ; if
a). be thought ministers ought to submit to the House
as acrount of the enquiry on which they originally applied for
t' •e bill.
Ms. GOULBURN said be should apply for the renewal of
t:.e bill in the course ore few days, when he should have some
it2irmation to submit to the House.
Sir J. NEWPORT spoke of the necessity of inquiry ; but it
appeared as if the session were to be allowed to pans away
without any serious enquiry being iastituted into the state of
Ireland. He had long submitted that seek inquiry was requi-
site ; and it had been for years delayed; and the country was
euapiee the fruits of such neglect.
Lied LUNDONDEARY submitted, that enquiry bad in
reafoy taken place,. in the most effective mode, by questions on
the irehjeet of prisons--of distress—of tythes, tec. If the Go-
•erement at any time possessed any important information,
the! was every disposition to impart it.
M.r. C. H. HUTCHINSON said, measures of precaution
were taken at the beginning of the session, which were in flat
uspeic,ion of the constitution ; and that if the session went !,
ciused with doine, nothing more regarding !relent!, than conti
crusts the insurrection act, they not have performed their
r.at+.lf c were not some ainelioretion of the condition of
Ireiaud, all the troops in England woniii not be able to keep
cm unhappy country quiet. Partial insurrections and distress
would become general; they would be organized; ant they
would produce rebellion. It was not sufficietit that ministers
should any they were ready to lend themselves to any measure
of relief; they should be prepared with measures of improve-
meet. It' they did 'not do something of the kind, they must
yearly renew the suspension atilt. constitution. and constantly
tar ow in fresh troops to keep down the wretchedness of Ireland.
Lund LONDONDERRY said the government had lose no
opportunity of proposing beneficial measure::, and the tythe
question was to he brought forward. Returns ordeted.
Mr. CURW EN gave notice, that when the question of naval
and military pensions were brought forward on Thursday, he
s:muld move for the entire repeal of the salt tat.
Mr. BRIGHT in presenting a petition, complained of the
continued duly on salt, as calculated to be particularly inju-
rious to the bakeries.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the
remission of duty was so large as not to leave ground for coin-
menet. Ile proposed that sa.t should be allowed to he exported
slaty free; but that for every other purpoee eliatever, he pro-
posed that there should be a tar at the pit mouth. With
respect to cured Geli exported, there was to be allowed a
.drawback.
Petition, which was from Mr. Peter, fish-curer, of Bristol,
wa. ordered to be printed.
Sir F. BURDETT brought forward his motion for the pro-
duction of the rueinorarelten book of the jailer of llrhester
The hon. hart. again adverted to the ill treatment Mr.
Munt had experienced from the orders of %mims visiting ma-
gisteates. Full inquiry wits requisite; it was eh: ohitely ne-
ck scary ; and for it the book was useful. Why it should be
reineed he did trot know.
Ater sous, remarks from Mr. Peel, the lion. baronet's motion
was withdrawn for the present.
Mr. PEEL moved for leave to bring in a bill to continue the
Alien Act for one year. De contended, that it was necessary
that the goveranieut should be armed with such potters, to
r: at d against possible dangers ; tile powers had not been used,
it was requisite that the government should be provided
with them ; for the somber of foreigners arriving, as rmnpared
tine departure., were corstently increasing, as compared with
preeeuing petite:ls. Within the last five months they were
bib. A. there had been no 'Wee of the act, he did not see
wee! objection there could be to agree to the motion.
Sir J. NI ACINTOSII strongly opposed the 'notion, condemn-
tug the principles on which the bill was asked. They were
tinveorthy of any generous country, and it was a melancholy'
.I..ilig to see a peel; minister supporting meth sentiments. He
believed that the bill had been most Injurious to the country ;
that it prevented roreigmers who might really be useful to the
ration from coining here, and that it would become that House
to prevent the bill tram being renewed.
inc. TWIS3 eimperted the motion.
Sir R. WILSON opposed the motion, contending that an
A'itu 11.11 wes a modern and an edifies invention. In former
Glees, notwithstanding all our diosensions, there was nothing
4•1. 11)C kind.,
201 r. SCA lILETT Also opposed the bill ; he bird hoped that
the sleuth of Unottaparte would have removed every pretence
te.r peopottine a renewal of this bill.
Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW &feuded the measure as necessary
to the sacMtiry of the country.
M:. SIAN strongly reprobated the bill, and decLred hi
