LONDON:
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1840.

In the Lords, last night Lmd PORTIIIAN announced
his intention of asking a quest.on to-Light, concerning
rating stock in trade. We presu ne the Noble Lord is
averse from the exemption the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
is to propose.
The poor Marquis of LONDONDERRY has the unfor•
tunate knack of spoiling everything he takes in hand,
and even the claims of distress introduced by him
assume a ridiculous appearance. Such was the case
last night, when he wished to present a petition con-
taining some answers to a speech of Lord CLARFN 'pox, which the Noble ivlarquis had been unable
to
answer. The petition was withdrawn, and the
poor Marquis complained oftehres
of
tie manyi applications
which his advocacy of the suffer Spanish Le-
gion has drawn on him. Viscount MELBOURNE de-
clined to give him any other information than that ne-
gotiations were in progress.
Lord LYNDHURST draw attention to a petition from
certain French claimants, who wished to have an oppor-
tunity of appealing to the Privy Council against a de-
cree which overruled their claims, but which they were
too late in making. Nothing. was done or promised.
The Insane Prisoners' Bid was read a second time.
The Earl of RIPON moved tor some financial re-
turns, in order that he might make . a speech
on the state of the revenue which the Noble
Earl described as most unsatisfactory, because no
provision was made for a surplus, or taking more
out of the people's pockets than the Government
wants. The more revenue there is tin more the Go-
vernment expends, and the surest way to keep down
extravagance, both in parishes and State', is to Lep
down the supplies.
Viscount MELeourne replied to the N,ble Earl,
ard stated that the surplus
1-v is given up, for the
best of all possible reasons, that it cow(' net be
maintained. The Noble Viscount also del.nded the
present system of finance, and denied that ti-in less the
revenue was so great as had been
.repre?.ented.
Lord ASHBURTON det,ralPti th
sur-
plus, and referred to Mr, edoctrine of a HUSEISSON to show that
a notion could not be independent without a sur-
plus revenue ; but bath Arl . liUSKISSON and
the Noble Lord seem to
have forgottenilll the sur-
plus which every just Governmentwill
in the resources of an attached people. Ira ‘tvhaey
y s
hfi n d
ave
a surplus, the Government may rest secure that it
will
be forthcoming when required. When they have no
surplus, when they are ground down to the extreme
verge of destitution by Corn-laws, and by vile financial
schemes to keep up vibl;o er?dit or the price of stocks,
by taxing them, then the Government has reason to
dread, for then the people have nothing to spare for it,
a id would rather see it destroyed than maintained.
The Lords adjourned at Eight o'Unck.
