DUTY ON BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.--
' From 1796 to 1806. the duty on Hollands varied fieen
7s. 6d. to 14s. a gallon, and the annual average consurnp-
' ton was upwards of 700.000 gallons ; the duty is now
225. 6tl. a gallon, and the annual consumption of du'y_
paid is now about 23,000 gallons. With a tax from 250
to 450 per cent., the everame rrvenue was at lea.it
350,0001. ; under a duty of 700 per ceet. it is 26 000/.
The populati et of the country hes increased nea.ly one.
half, the custom duties three-fourths; but tie custom
duty on this particular article has &lien 1,300 per cent.,
or from 360 to 26. In 1814. the duty en brandy was raised
from 14s. to 18s. 10d. a g Aloe, wine m. teetie; the con-
sumption elt creas, d trem 1.820.000 to 720 000 gallons,
' and the revenue fell from 1,370,0001 to 825,0001, though
it has since recovered in the amount receiv. d, but nut in
the quantity consumed In 1689, the annual consumption
in England, at a duty cf about 100 per cent on the prime
cost, was 1,989 165 gallons. Since that period, the
Icier; (inelteenie Scotland) has tea 1t quadrupled—the
national income has lute ee..ed seve,o,ti, hei the nominal
cote-uaip ion of brandy is less than it was 140 years r go.

his motion respecting the Caroliee must nece.,sar.ly had
