COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

On Thursday a Court of Common Council was held,
for the despatch of a great deal of miscellaneous business.
istasTtosr OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr. FAVELL ruse upon a tpiestion of inivilece, which
attached iti a very serious manner to an Baronet of
no small size or lame. to stating the case to the Court,
he (Nir. F.) would " nothing extenuate, nor set down
attain in malice." The duty of the Court was to take
'care of the property and the character of the citizens,
and they had, in the performance of that duty, been
'; often insolted by the tools of corruption. But it was re.
weed fur the lion. Baronet on the lit of March to
csoluinniate, according to the public journals. that Court,
and a committee of it, in presenting a petition to the
limier of Commons. The Hon. Baronet seemed to wish
to meet the question onenly. Be had consulted the
papers as to Alderman Wood presenting the petition for
. Inquiring into the array at Knightsbridge, but that
quay was stifled, anti on that occasion the Han. Bart.
ryas made to say, that the Sheriff had heifer have Leen
at home, and that the Court of Common Coatie.l was
altelys interfering and meddling with gin-Elam into
winch they bad no right to inquire, and winch were far
areive their wisdom and emits. (Hear, hear.)-1-le was
c•iimselled•to complain of melt expressions tiros the putt
of tote High Barosiet, as applied to the Court. Forciztiers

" i

miaht think them nothing better than swindlers. The
Baronet had also charged the committee of that
Court with having no tight to enter into an inquiry as
to an attempt on the life of their lite Sheriff. It behoved
the Hon. Baronet, as senior Alderman, to explain this
conduct to the Court.
Mr. JAMES said, he felt at a loss to know what the
motion before the Court was.
Mr. FAVELL had a motion to make, hut not if the
Hon. Baronet could spew that the reporters were wrong,
or disavowed the words imputed to him.
Alderman C. Shims thought the matter irregular.
Mr. OLDHAM said, that if the Hon. Rootlet chose to
give any explanation. then it would not he irreatilar.
Alderman WAITHMAN said, the only irregularity was
in debating a thing before it was moved.
Sir W. Curvets avowed the greatest part of what the
' worthy member had stated, but he could not go to the
full length of the statement. He did tint attempt to shew
the folly of bringing such questions before tile House of
Commons. Let any mail examine that evidence, and
then sly if it was not a disgrace to the Court. Vas it a
breach of privilege, or had he not the freedom of speech
as well as the Hou. Member No man should shut his
mouth or fetter his tongue. Let any man look at the
acts and language of that Court for the last two years,
and say whether they did not libel the City of London.
Read their address to the Crown, and it would not only
make them tremble, but ashamed of themselves. Toe
Court had disgraced itself by being led by demagogues.
(Cries of Order.)—He would not be called to order for
speaking his sentiments. The sentiments attributed to
hint in the newspapers were his sentiments, though his
words were altered. His wish was to uphold the honour
of the Court, hut many members disgraced themselves
by not speaking or thinking for themselves. Let the
matter be worded as strong against him as it could, lie
cared not.
Mr. FAVELL said, the Hon. Bart. had, in the House
of Commons, denied the right of that Court to inquire
into the subject, and lie now comes boldly to revile and
ensure their proceedings. There was a tune when the
Court supported every ministerial measure, but nosy the
Ministers were (Mimed to abandon the system witch it
was the distinguished honour of the Court to have con-
denoted for the last four years; but the Hon. Baronet
thinks the honour of the Court its disgrace. (Ilear.)—
It never was the intention of tile Court to treat the King
wait disrespect, but to remind him that his Ministers
were acting in a manner inconsistent with the spirit of
the Constitution. Ile complained, that when the Hon..
Baronet seconded the motion for inquiry in the House of •
Commons, he should take that opportunity to impugn
their proceedings. This, no doubt, might be the best
road to ministerial favour at present, but if a change of
administration should take place, the 114)11. Bart. might
then see things in a different light. (Hear, and laugh-
ter.)—The hon. gent. then moved a very strong vote of
cemute on Sir NVilliam Curtis.
r. PaTrasr declared, that as a member of the com-
mittee, whose proceedings had been so unwarrantably
censured by the 11(m. Baronet, he must say, nothing
could he more impartial than their whole conduct, and
although the members were of very differetit political
opinions, yet they all agreed in the report.
Alderman Warritasais said, lie had abstained from
Filing evidence before the coin ni ince ; although the
whole matter had passed before his eyes, yet he was
wilhog that the report should stand tin tile evidence of
others. %Viten a subject Wdi referred to a committee,
and they made a report on it, it was a serious muter to
question that report, especially the motives of the coin.
notice. How could airy member of that committee,
Mier tieglectitig, his duty by not attending its meetiugs,
and a'ter allowiag the report to receive the approbation
of the Cowl, without making a s•tr.;:e observation, dare
to assert, respecting it in (ioniser pf.ce, what IV.IS tint
substantially true. ( I lear.)—The Hots. Alderman, who
had beets a member of the Court for 36 years, now says
they are factious, he almost said treasonable—that they
are. Jesuits and demagogues.—[Sir W. Curtis here said
be only spoke figuratively.]-0f some, he says, be has a
better opinion ; but even them he treats as fools, who
resign the exercise of their understandiug to their factions
bretlirem The Hon. Baronet WASLIIIICY to himself the
possession of transcendant talents and wisdom , how
happens it that he can only exert these great qualities in
the House of Commons, and when be conies before
the Court they appear to utterly forsake hint? lie (Mr.
Waldman) did not mean to attribute bad motives to
any individual, but if the lion. Baronet had so much
wisdom and honour, they should have been discovered
in 3tfyears. (hear.)—lie was 'sorry to be obliged to
mention another matter in the absence of the gentleman
to whom it referred, lie (Alderman ‘Vaidnao) sent a
private note to Sheriff Williams, the evening before her
Majesty's funeral, stating Isis intention to attend. That
time was given to Mr. Butterworth, and made a ground
for attacking him (Alderman IVaithinan) in the Howse
of Comm ons, where he could not defend himself.

We learn, from authentic sources of information,
that the trade in the manufacturing districts is uu-
precedentedl) brisk. All hands are more badly
employed than usual. The quantity of goods
which are brought forward exceed any thing ever
before known, and the moment they are manufac.
tured and produced in the market, they aro bought
up and carried elf for home and foreign markets.—
In Glasgow, also, we learn that the export trade
is great. We are informed by Excise Export Ori-
cers, that they have not been so busily employed
for several years, as during the last three weeks.—
The river at Broomielaw is unusually crowdLa
shipping busily employed loading and unloading.
Many of these vessels of considerable burthea Irma

citizens of Glasgow could not possibly have fireweed
wuuld have been seen at the port of that city.

MALT DUTY REPEAL BILL.

v

THE NATIONAL REGISTER

Mr. 11,6111NtifON brought it up.
Mr. HU-AISSON expressed his regret that he had not,
been present oil Friday. He understood it to have been
stated that the repeal would produce no effect to the
public; that it would merely be a Moines to the brewers.
The duty for England and Ireland produced 1.300,0r01.,
and about half the malt communed was by public brewers,
the duty on which hail been upwards of 1300,0001. Was it
to be believed that such advantage was to be derived by
the brewers? %Would not the leeislature adopt means to
prevent its plans from being defeated ? He might say that
five•eighths of the malt were consumed by brewers. If '
there were to be no reduction of price in porter, he hoped
that every body who could get a barrel and a bushel of
malt would brew, except the public brewers adopted a
different course. It was intended that the repeal of the
duty should be a benefit to the glowers of bailey, but no
benefit wool(' be derived if the homers did not lower the
prees. Private brewing presented one means of tente-
d) hilt the consequence of nor lowering the price of porter.
Another was, to increase free houses, even if it were, in
some instances, by withdrawing licences from brewers'
houses. It would become the magistrates to look to this
matter ; but if brewers persevered, if the benefit were to
be to the brewer and nut to the people, he thought they
I ought to impose a duty on the beer brewed by the public
brewer, equal to the duty that would be saved by the me.
peal. He trusted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
except the price of porter was lowered, would see the
necessity of laying on an additional tax on publicly
brewed beer. He thought the price of porter ought to
have been lowered betels this time; but it was finite
monstrous that there should still be no proposition to re.
duce the price of beer. The brewers' profits before must
have been good, from the cheapness of the articles used,
but idler the repeal, how monstrous must the profits be-
come, were the measures of parliament to be defeated.
To accomplish such benefit, they had succeeded in
reducing a portion of the interest of the debt, but was
not that sacrifice or repeal to be of use to the public ?

(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CALCRAFT was glad to hear the right lion. gent.'s
saggestion. The tax on publicly bievred beer would pro.
duce, it appeared, at least be,0,0031. and that would be
raised without any injury to the public ; lie trusted that a
new tax would tie persevered in-Aie should then be able
to renew his proposition for the gradual reduction of the
salt tax, which email not be opposed, as the brewers' lax
would prevent it from being prejudicial to the public
revenue.
Mr. HUSKISSON thought there was no chance of pro-
posing the new tax, as lie apprehended that the hint that
had been given would be sufficient to the brewers.
Mr. CALCRAFF said, he relied ou the firmness of be
brewrua to persevere.
Mr. DAVENPORT again spoke of the necessity of
reducing the salt tax; lie was glad that there was some
chance of a partial reduction, it the brewers were really
firm.
Mr. F. BUXTON admitted that it was monstrous to
think that the benefit of the repeal should be enjoyed by
the brewer only. At the same time, however, as far as
the stock in hand was concerned, the brewer would not
derive any extra advantage; if, after the stock was dis-
posed of, and lie spoke as one deeply interested in a
considerable brewliuuse, the price were not lowered, he
should not hesitate to soppuit the right boa. gentleman
(Mr. H.'s) proposition.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CURWLN thought the 11l i l listen ought to retrace
their steps as far as regal ded this tax; the repeal of the
salt tax would be really useful to the w hob country.
Mr. OIPPS said, that he was nut specially concerned
in the particular repeal of any tax, but portions of the
assessed taxes operated most severely on the cumitry.
General CiASCOYNE thought the relent ought to be
postponed a few days; the Howie would then see what
the 'Hewers intended to do.
Report agreed to, and bill ordered to be read a third
time to-morrow.
Mr. PRICE presented a petition from Hereford, com-
plaining of agiirultural distress, &c.
IRISH FIVE PER CENTS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved,
that the House to-morrow go into a c • eon the
It IA Five per Cents.' Act, fur the purpose of reducing
them also.. Agreed to.—He also moved for minutes of
the Treasury, respecting the reduction of civil offices.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having
moved for the same, there were laid before the House
estimates of what would he requii ed in Ibti, for paying
elf those Five per Cent. Holders who had dissented trout
the plan to reduce time same. He said, over and above
sock e.tintates, which amounted to 2,600,i:001. he should
require about leo,ouol. to pay inteiest. His present pro-
position was, that such disseuting holders should have the
option of being paid off on the 3th of Apia, ur 5111 of
July.
the papers were ordered to be referred to a committee
of supply.
SUPPLY.—NAVY ESTIMATES.
On the question that the House go tutu a committee of
supply.
sir J. YORKE complained of the unceremonious dis-
missal of J. C. Serie, Esq. front the chair of the victual-
ling boat d,and of having made him Adinii al of the While,
in violation of the customary forms. It had been said
that a naval man might to be placed in the chair; nay,
Mr. Mash was removed 14 years ago to make way for Mr.
Seale; and now Mr. Serie, a naval mall, was removed,
and gave place to an officer of the Guards.—(liear and
laughter.) These Boards had been represented as a set
of nincompoops; was the fact so or not? The public
would hear what had been said; boot in his opinion there
had never been a more complete " job." They had heard
of " idle" statesmen and idle secretaries; what were they
to have now I Besides pensioning Mr. S. even Mrs. Serie
had a pension of SUM a year fixed on her. Doubtless
she merited such pension.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. COCKBURN said that Admiral Serie, for as lie
now must call him, had been found uufit for the Board ;
but as nothing affected his character, and to show that
such was the fast, Mr. Seale was reconunended to be
an Admiral of the White.
Mr. Ellice and Sir I. Coffin spoke of the excellent elms

Mr. CHOKER spoke of the excellent character of Mr

TALLOW DUTIES.
Mr. CURWEN [nought forward his motion ou thus
subject. As well as affecting deeply the interests of
agriculture, it was also of great importance to large
classes of the community, and to our commercial advan-
tages. The importation of foreign tallow was considered
to affect the farming and grazing interests ; and this sell,
ject had been pressed un him by many individuals. The
distress of the country was admitted; it eequired
frwu
him no details to establish the fact, ors was tie disposed
to undervalue the efforts made by govement to relieve
the country. But as to the repeal of the malt ditty, the
country differed with the house as to its valise ; the c..tin-
try said that mit repeal would afford uo 'chef. Ile
