The Sun.
London, England, 1849-03-17 00:00:00

Captain BOLDERO said it was well known that
two-thirds of the troops were employed in the colonies.
If, instead of reducing the navy by 5,000 men, some
relief could be given to the troops in the colonies by
employing the navy in their transport, it would be very
desirable.

Admiral DUNDAS said that troops were much more
cheaply conveyed on the present system.
Mr. lIUME said a few words in reply to the remarks
of Colonel Thompson about the African squadron. He
was understood to deny that there was any feeling in
the country, even amongst the supporters of the anti-
slavery cause, for the continuance of that squadron.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared—
For the vote ... 144
For the amendment ... 59
Majority —B5
The vote was then agreed to.
538,6421. for the expenses of seamen and marines was
then voted.

ORDNANCE ESTIMATES.
Colonel ANSON said that as the Ordnance estimates
were under consideration upstairs it would be premature
to enter into the details of the votes which:comprised the
sums for the service of that department. But the Com-
mittee must be aware that it was necessary to take cer-
tain votes on account to meet the necessary expenses
after the expiration of the present financial year. These
estimates had been prepared with a due regard to the
efficiency and exigencies of the service, and with a strict
attention to economy. _ _

Mr. HUME said he would not object to the votes
being taken on account; but he must protest against the
observation that they were prepared with strut atten-
tion to economy.
The following votes were then agreed to:--
350,0001 for the pay, allowances, and contingencies of
the ordnance military corps.

- 40,0001. for salaries and contingencies of the Ordnance
office.

150,000/. for the ordnance military establishments al
home and abroad.

70,0001. for the wages of artificers and labourers.
160,0001. for ordnance stores.
250,0001. for works, buildings, and repairs.
45,0001. for the scientific branch.
85,0001. for the non-effective services, inilitary and
civil.
The resolutions were then reported.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that he would proceed with
the army estimates on Monday, and then, if they were
got through in sufficient time, with the navy estimates.
NEW BILLS.

The following Bills were introduced :
By Mr. BOURKE, for the better preservation of cat-
tle and sheep, and the more speedy detection of cattle
and sheep stealers in Ireland.
By Mr. SOTHERON, to relieve tenants at rack rent,
having a temporary interest in the lands or tenements, in
respect of rates leviable for erecting and providing
county lunatic asylums.
By Mr. REYNOLDS, to alter and amend the law re-
lating to proceedings by attachments in Courts of
Record in the city of Dublin and other boroughs in
Ireland. _

The House then adjourned at a Quarter to One.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)
THURSDAY, MARCH 15.
LOCAL TAXATION.
Order read, for resuming adjourned debate on amendment
proposed to be made to Question (Bth March), " That the
whole of the local taxation of the country for national pur-
poses, falls mainly, if not exclusively, on real property, and
bears with undue severity on the occupiers of land, in a
manner injurious to the agricultural interests of the country,
and otherwise highly impolitic and unjust :
" That the hardship of this apportionment is greatly aggra-
vated by the fact, that more than one-third of the whole
revenue derived from the Excise, is levied upon agricultural
produce, exposed, by the recent changes in the law, to direct
competition with the untaxed produce of foreign countries;
the home producer being thus subjected to a burden of taxa-
ion which, by greatly enhancing the price, limits the de-
mand for British produce; and to restrictions, which inju-
riously interfere with the conduct of his trade and industry:
" That this House will resolve itself into a Committee, to
take into its serious consideration such measures as may re-
move the grievances of which the owners and occupiers of
real property thus justly complain, and which may establish
a more equitable apportionment of the public burdens :"
And which amendment was to leave out from the first word
" That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words
"if the local taxation of the country presses unequally on
real property, or bears with undue severity on the occupiers
of land, such inequality and undue pressure ought to be re-
moved ; but, with the view of granting speedy relief to the
agricultural and other interests of the country, without de-
triment to the claims of the national creditors, it is the
opinion of this House that the public expenditure, now ex-
cessive, ought to be forthwith reduced so as to enable Par-
liament to repeal totally the Excise duties on malt and hops;
and to remove, as far as practicable, other burdens which
impede the. progress of agriculture and of commercial in-
dustry," instead thereof: Question again proposed, " That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question,"
The House divided:—
