HOUSE OF COMMONS,
FRIDAY) MUCH 26.

AVOTHECARIES' 11 ML.

I%lr. CALCRArT stated, that it,was his intention
to withdraw this Bill: He.-4 d, that the object
of it was to ware to persons of that profession
{Apothecaries) a degree of respectability, and to
put them in a situation more • important than,they
had ever before been. This' was to have been
done, by authorising them to mai:L. charges for
visits to patients, They bad beea under great
difficulty far want of some eon3tituted aikthority
to give the measure its Sanction and assistance;.
Vie 'Royal College of Physicians and SurgeonS
having both, and he thought most unjustly, re-
fused to render any asiistance. Another eircurn-
atance which operated against the measure was,
that they had included in it the respectable body
tit Chemists and Druggists, who ought to have
stood upon their omn separate merits. Under
these circuostanceS, as it was thought advisable
to suspend the Bill for the present Seision, he
moved, that the Apothecaries' Bill, instead of
being read a second time then, should be read a
second time on that clay six Mouths.
Agreed to. •

FINANCE.

tin tl►e motion that Mr. LUSIIINGTON4shotthI
bring up. the Report of the Committee of
Finance,

• Mr. BAttmo thought that the Report should be
postponed till next year, because, by that time,
the House would have time to deliberate upon the
plan at greater leisure. He hoped that the Right
Hon. Gentleman who brought it forward would
not only agree to tats, only on► count•of the import-
ance of the plan itself, but because the subject
Wa.S one which required the most serious attention
of the House. It had. been customary on every
former occasion previous to the adoption or dis-
cussion of any such plan, to have an inquiry histi-
tntet.d into the state of the Finance ; but on this
year, without any such inquiry, they were about
to hurry through a plan which would encro'ich
npon the Sinking Fund, which had always been
npon us sacred.
illose could not forbear expressing a hope
that the plan would -:lot be deferred. lie denied
that the plan was breaking in upon the Sinking
Fund. The principle of the plan then in exist-
ence was, that the c'e'nt should be redeemed in 43
years ; but although the plan would provide for
the-redemption of the debt in a shorter period, it
certainly, would not be said that the new plan
broke inmpon the principle which was the founda-

lion of Ow, existing System. Another plan had
been propoSed by an lion. Gentleman (Mr. Hits.
iaisson), tint it Was one, which would be so doubt-
ful in its operation, that nobody would hesitate
btqween the adoption of it' and the other proposed
by hi Right Ilan: Friend. The advantages• at-
tending the plan of. his Right Hon. Friend were,
that it \runic! Nino e the fleetn:s4y of a great poi.-
ti(Ml of taxes, while it would go to the gradual re-
duction of the debr,= and would redeem the debt
more speedily than the existlug system, Ht eon_
citified with declaring, that it was his opinion
that great injury would result iron'. deterring the
plan.
Mr. HtfstussoN complained that he had been
mistaken by a Right Hon. Gentleman on the night
bef.ore, and as the Right Hon. Gentleman who
had jest sat down seemed to be muter the same.
mist:ike with regard to the plan -which he (Mr.
II.) had proposed, he thought it proper to set him-
self right with the House. His plan was, that tie
charge cf the loan ()tithe year might be taken from
the Sinking Punt!, but that it should be repaid .by
the war taxes.. The principle on which he went
was,. that pending the war it was not politic to
touch Apon the Sinking. Fund ; but that when
peace came the Sinking Fund might be modified so
as to mist the expences of the year. It could not
beohjected to his plan, that it did not provide for
the increase of the debt. The only point in which
he and his Right Hon. Friend, did not. agree was,
about the propriety of incroachiug upon the'Sink...
ing .Mind..
Mr Rost and. Mr. ..HusKissox mutually ex-
plained.
Mr. GRENFELL approved of the plan, and he
thought that the public in general did so likewise ;
becauSe, since it had been ioagitation, the Stocks
had suffered no depression ; and no apprehen,ion
had been expressed upon•the 'Change, that any
bad consequences would. result front the adoption
Of it.

Mr. LUBBOCK. thought that at some time ad-
vantage was to be taken of the Sinking' Fund,
but that it wag Ilaugerims to touch it in the
time of .war. He opposed the plan,: beeause he
thought it would be a br-eaeli of pubic faith,
and besides It was opposed by the authority of Mr.
Pitt. .

•
----
Thequestion being put, the Reportwas ordered
to be hrOught up without opposition.
On the -motion that the report 'be read,
Mr. .13Ar2iio, after some animadversions upon
the proposed new plan, Suitt, that if the Sinking
Fund was touched, it would be of Ijo 'mote avail
than the mock Sinking Fund of ; and
its existence would be merely nominal, If
Measure should be adopted, all public faith would
be ut an end.

Lord CAsTLEREACM could not miter the decla-
rations 'which had been made by tl:c Hon. Gen-.
tlenian to pass
.without declaring. the greatness of
his indignation that such expressions have
been applied by any Member of the House of
Corniuou to the plan of his Right Hon. Friend.
He was not afraid to let the Measure rest on the
judgment of the people. of England ; for he knew
that theyuever would countenance any Measure
which was a breach of public faith, neither could
he admit that all public faith would be put un end
to, because the mind of the Hon. tienthnnan
was SO distorted as to view the proposed plan with
hostility.
Mr. TtEnNEV said, thtit whether his mind was
distorted or ;lot, he took exactly the same view of
the new plait as had o ray doneby his Honourable
.Friend ; and, he roottmded, that, if the mea'surc
was carried*, and an eucroachment allowed to be
made upon dm,: Sinking Furid.. the• Sinking Fund
of Great Britain would be no better than that of
litiormparte. Ile thought that the Noble Lord
might have well spared the warmth of indignation
with which he had remarked upon the expressions
of his Hon. Friend. He was happy that his Hon.
Friend had faced the proposed plan with his au-
thority ;, but he had even done more, anti, • what
was better, for ho had opposed it 'with argunients.
He (Mr. Tierney), . who was no iu:thority, did
also oppose the measure, and be did so, because
he was convinced of the bad elfeets which would
."result from its adoption: Moreover, he would
declare, with his Honourable Friend, that
if the plan was 'adopted, • public faith would
be broken. Every Gentleman who had spo-
ken' on the sUbject, was entitled, to use
such expressions • as these which had been
uttered by his lion Friend, As to what bad been
said about. tbe change which would., take place
after a certain number of years; it was to be re-
collected that the public creditor woold look
only to'llme.effeet which the measure wonld have
on the loan in -which immediately eon-
cerned,•without caring for what iVaS to happen
after the lapse, of a certain number of years, and
when he might possibly not have any concern in
the loan.' It was therefore absurd, when talking
of how, the measure would affect the public cre-
ditor, to say that this or that would happen after
a certain period bad' elapsed. As if it would be
said, when it was proposed to make a person go
200'miles hourS, yousliallto Granth,tm in
the waggon, andl-rom thence to-York upon a race
horse." •" Oh ! but," the 'person would reply,
" I only wilt to go to Grantham :" certainly a
person in that situation would derive no benefit
front the expedition with which the latter peer of
thejourney was to be performed, :It was just so
with regard to the'effect which the propo,;ed plan
would have upon the public creditor. f lie•ltight
•Hou. Gentleman then went on to stay, that he
sure that if Mr. Pitt was alive, he would ob-
ject .to the plan. Ile hail no doubt that Mr. Pitt
was latterly inimical to time plan of 1802, although
lie had at first Supported it. He then observed,
that t here were t hree perkons of tint Treasuryfiencli,
velmse assertions relative to the roposed meat
sure were at variance. He said,. that the argu-
ment which one Hon. Member bad brought for-
ward in defence -of the measure was Very extra 7
ordinary. h was, that although it was known upon
'Change that the
,plati propOsed
.was in agitation,
stocks had not experienced any depression. He

contended that it was impossible to adduce this'a's
a legitimate argunient hrfavour'of tae systeiefpro-
posed, because the circumstance of the stoek.4-;iot
having been depressed, was uwiug to the. confi-
dence which the sib:l-jobbers ha 4 in the e.,00d
sense of Parliament; they being sure that the pro:
posed plan Weald not be carried.
The CrrANcELLort of the I',NCIUEQUI.a thought
that the Rie;lit Hon. Gentleman who slioke lust
had oppose' the plan upon extraordinai y ground:.
When that Right lion. Gentleman lout colOpared
the measure proposed by Government wi:h the
state of the. Sinking I.4und in fyance,le taippo,sed
that the Right lIoIJ. Ge.ntleman was availing Win-
self of same of the obseri'ations whiCh he hod
made in hi; speeches'on the Plan of 183'2. Ile
again asserted, eiat the principle upon ‘vhich the
proposed plan 'went. Was not what it had k:en
said to be by the ItiL.,ht. Pon. Gentleman, but,
upon the principles of sueces:dve redemption.--7
The plan not only made provision far the extinc-
tion of the debt in 10-11. y-five years, but for. the
•redemption of.the debt in a period shorter than it
could be by the lulu .nosy ein existene. Mr. r4t.
proposed what was exactly equivalent to th'it now
prooosed in so far as it re,;pected the
P ; and no man, lie believed, vould be fui—
ther than Mr.. Pitt, from any thing that could
construed into any breach of public faith.
Right UOtlolirable Gentleman onpo,;ite (Mr'. Ticy
.ney) observed, that, as,yet, r.o effect 4.1.,)0t
rmeasure was visible upon the stoeks, and that the
'reason was, because the stockholders did. not ex-
pecothe measure would be carried into effect. If
any injury to that interest .was likely to take
Mace, it would take place now, c; lien the stock -
holders saw that:the measure was at least like:y
to be tarried into effect. N',•:th. respect to the
proposal of the lion. Gentleman ,Mr. /laving)
that thQ measure Ootild he deferred (or twelve
months longer : tii!s proposition happily united
in it oil the inconveniences both of adoption ;:ini
rejection. If the stockholder expected that the
measure was to be carried into etfect in the courie
of twelve 'months, the same depression in the
stocks would follow, as if it were immediately to.
take place, and, by pcntponement; • they were
likely to low a great propontionoftheadVantages
that would follow from itsirinnediate
After their fears bad .been worked upon far twelve
months, he did not see that it could give. rist tort
any increase ofeonfidence.

. .
Mr. ROSE explained. He never said that it Was,
the. principle of Mt. Pitt to pay off the debt in
any Way Within forty.tfve Tears. He merely stated
that this was his own principle. lie did not con-
tradict his ilon. Friend (Mr. Huskisson) in' hid
assertion, that it was the wish of Mr. Pitt to co;`-
fine
the expenditure within the inet;me. lle
nierdy that Mt:Pitt had by him a loose pa-
per with a statement of taxes that may be imposed
to the aulount of about 7,000,0001.

Mr. GjtENVILLE explained.
Mr. LONG explained. He did riot assert that
the plan was founded in the necessity there wat
of nyrildin't• any new taxes. fie mercly said, that
new taxes could not •he discreetly imposed, and
that their probable effect would be to render the
old less producti le had good -reaon In know
the opinion 4..4 Mr. Pitt, and be believed it was
not in contradiction' to the present plan, ,with
spect to, the mode of redeeming the debt v
45 years. This opnearad,:- he thought, front the
s.peedli delivered by Mr. Pitt in 102, There %vas
not the least reason .to siipposo that he had
changed his opinion: •
Mr. Tirirtuuv explained.
M- DARING insisted upon. the advantage of
putting off the plan for a year. longer.
'The Amendments were then negatived without
diviSion, and the Report brought up. The lie.
solutions were then read and agreeti to, and a Bill
ordered tti be hro'tgbt in accordingly. The
cond reading of the. Bill, it was intimated by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, would be on Fri-
day net.

Mr. It. Ttion,iirou presented a Petition from
the merchants trading to the Bast Indies, desiring
that evidence may be heard at the Bar of the
House of Commons respecting tln trade to that
country. Evidence was accordingly orderedlo
attend at the liar on Tuesday next.
Mr. FINLAY moved for returns of all
pplica-
tions made to the East India Copatiy,.for the
purposes of private trade, from 1802.t0 1813.
