Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the
Committee of Supply, and the Resolutions were
agreed to.
Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the
Committee on the Irish Duty Bills.
On the Motion for agreeing to the Resolutions,
Colonel B AGIVELL said, he was still of opi-
nion, that from the importance of the subject, some
further delay was necessary in order that it might
he fully considered. The Irish Accounts bad been
but a short time on the Table, and several' Gentle.
men had been .necessarily absent on Committees. lie
repeated his obje6ions to the Tax on Leather,
which, he said, amounted to 2-1-d. a pound, which
.enabled the English Tanner to undersell those of
Ireland in their own marker.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he • was much surprized that the Hon. Gentleman
should persist in wishing for delay after what had
been stated upon the subject. In the last Session,
the expedience of making those Taxes
.permanent
• was repeatedly discussed, and his Right Hon.
Friend had given distinct notice of his intention of
bringing the subject forward this Session, which
notice he repeated before the Christmas Recess. He
then repeated what he had stated last night, re-
speeting the causes which occasioned the delay in
-bringing this subject forward. There was nothing •
in those ReSolutions which would prevent their.
being altered, modified, or repealed, if it should af-
terwards be found' necessary ; and his Right Hon.
Friend had expressed his intention of introducing
a clause in the Bill, to allow of its being altered or
repealed durill the present Session. As to the ob.
jections which nad been made to one of the Taxes,
they applied as much against a temporary as agitinst
a permanent one. He therefore hoped, that Gen.
tlemen would not persist in proposing a further de_
19r..

• Afr..CORRY said, it was only necessary for him
to add one sentence, which was, that if he were
'disposed to make the alterations which Gentlemen
wished, he could not do it in these Resolutions; nor
in the Bill. founded upon them; the alterations,,if
any were necessary, must be propoSed when the Bil
was before the House, foi regulating the mode of
colleding these Taxes. . • •
Col. BAG w ELL. explained.
Mr.SMERIDANsaid, that the, objed of the propo.
sition now before the House was to make those 'faxes
permanent, and a more important proposition could
not be subaiitted to the House, he therefore thought
it ought not to be determined upon in so short a no-
tice. In his opinion there was no reason given for de.
parting from the usual mode of proceeding in the
Parliament of Ireland, because there was no ground
to suppose that the Parliament of England would be
less disposed to vote' the
_Taxes annually than the
Parliament of Ireland. It was said there would be
a Clause "in the Bill, allowing' it to be repealed in
the present Session ; but he thought the snare fair
mode of proceeding would be to vote the 'faxes for
one year, and to insert io that Bill a Clauie,
allow-
ing it to be altered, or repealed, because then there
•would be full tune given to consider the sahjeet..
He was fortified in his opinion IT what had fallen
from Sir J. PARNELL upon this subjed, one of the
last times he was its that House. ll' Ministerl per.
shied in pressing this business forward, he should.
take another opportunity of stating: his sentiments
upon, the subjcd.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXC lIEQUER said,
he was rather surprized, .that any objection should
be made to the' principle of this Measure, because
he thought every. one , would wish, that the Finan-
cial Systems of the two Countries should be assimi-
lated to each other. The Hon. Gentleman had
stated, that it was the practice of the Irish Parka.
ment to pass these Taxes annually ; he could con- I

ceive a very good reason, why the Parliament of
Ireland might Wish to pass these Taxes annually,
because it
.might give 'them a kind of. check which
might riot be undesirable. But there was no argu.
ment which could he applied against making these
Taxes permanent which might norbe applied to the
sYstthi adopted in. this Country of making permanent
provisions for permanent charges; and therefore the
Hon: Gentleman ought 'to move that the English
Taxes should be' voted annually; and if such a notion
were to gtt abroad, it would be found to have a con.
siderable influence on our stocks.
'Mr. Strzitiovt explainid. •
The Resolutions were then agreed to, ordered to
be printed, and Sills were ordered lobe brought in
upon them. " . .

'The CiIANCIE LLOR Of iIteE.NCILEQU,,Eit moved that

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIRqUER moved,
that the. House shuuld be called over on Thursday
next.,—Ordered.

_ .
The CII4NCE:LLOR of .the-'4XcIIEQURIZ'
said, he understood that. there was considerable
difficulty in procuring accominoda t ion for the different
Eledion Committees ; and if the House 'were.. to
ballot for four Committees next week, it would
increase the inconvenience, bebides many Members
would be 'necessarily absent on the Assizes. He
should therefore propose to .reduce the number of
ballots from four to two. He therefore moved to
PosrPune the ballot for Chippenham and Carmarthen,
which stood for Tuesday next, to Thursday next ;
and to postpone these for lichestei and East Gtin.
