The Sun.
London, England, 1846-02-03 00:00:00

-----
Honourable Friend, the Chancellor of the Es:
chequer, he proposed that the suns of 50,0001
should be devoted to this object, to be expended in the
course of five years, at the rate of 10,000/. al
had anxiously looked at the means from whence this
:ght
sum might be derived. The Beard of 'Wages
advance three-fourths of the whole amount, the re-
ear. !
mainder in certain proportions might be drawn from the
localities which were to obtain the advantage of
grant. Those who were interested could not obj.ect
tO
bear a part of the expense ; but yet the imposition
.or
that expense must be laid on rateably, according to the
nature of the country on which the money was to
laid out. By means of a grant from the Exci.equer
difficulty-in raising the funds would be obviated. iele
proposed, then, that competent persons,
the Board of Works and the Treasury, should melte.'

chosen was one on the coast, which was oceup:.
for no other chief object, then a certain small s.er,
should be assessed on the district within a certain

tance on each side of the new pier. If the

down to it communicated with any great road, su
the interior of the country was to share in the towel
then he would assess it on the land. If any too "ate
to obtain the advantage he would levy, after the el..tho
of one-third on the poor-rate. Should the nature 01.

repair as well as the construction of these works.
this difficulty, he thought, was best met by.the lueeso
tion of certain dues to be paid by those usisg th,,P,elitte
and harbours, but yet he would not attecaps, to rat'"G.J.
use of them compulsory. It had sccurred to the 410
vermuent that much discouragement was fslt by,‘vas,
Irish population in want of boats, nets, and all other '‘`,be,
of tackle requisite for their calling, and also frosi
want of places where they could wash their net'; r

proposed, therefore, to advance a certain Or° '°u:see,
provision of these materials for their 6'0(4

the fishermen, the use of which, however, shou
made compulsory upon them ; but if they did use t'erdi

they should pay a small sum towards the rsPsir °.tiss
building. He was desirous of placing the cowtttl,e•
of these several piers and the improvements of„e lt

hours under the supervision of the Board of ‘Y,,..41, os

suffered by the insufficient manner in which °eluded
had been executed. The Right Hon. Baronet cone 0,

Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said that iii
