Tke CHANCELLOR Qf tke EXCHEQUER said,,
he really hoped, that Gentlemen would not press for
any further delay. It would be remembered, that
the Preamble of this Measure was discussed last Ses..
sion ; that distind notice, was then given by his.
Right Hon. Friend, that the present Proposition
would be brought forward in the present Session.—
It was in the contemplation of his Right Hon.
Friend to 'have-brought it 'forward previous 'to the
Recess; but he abstained from it, on account of the
absence of so many Members, who represented the
other partof the United kingdom; but he then gave.
notice, that he would bring it forward .at an curly
period after the .Cbristmas.Reeess, and since then,-
his time had been occupied in consequence of Ms.
being upon an Eleaiun Committee. The Commit.-
tee would recollea, that the Irish Duties would.
cease on the asth of March, the necessity of dis-
patch must therefore be obvious. It would also
be recolletted, that it was merely the, Resole.
tions that Weft before the Committee, shot the
subjed would again come before the House in the
*shape of a Bill, in the various •stages of which
Gentlemen might state any objeakos that occurred
to them. When. he recolleaed that the Grants for
the Permanent Charges of Ireland were *voted from
year to year,. he was really astonished hoiv the Cre-
dit of that Country had stood so high as it had do"
for the last two years. The necessity of avoidi,ll
any unnecessary delay was obvious from a variety of
considerations. Suppose the. House should not be
able to make the necessary ballots, and that 'the
public 'businesi should be suspended for a few days's'
the consequence would be, that. the whole Revc cue
of Ireland- would he in a state Of abeyance. He.
therefore hoped that Gentlemen would feel the Inv.'
propriety of proposing any unnecessary delay. •
Mr. 1/4NSITT ART said, that with regard: to
what 'had been said respeaing the duty paid upon
leather in this country, it certainly was originally
one penny, but it had been increased to about '21,1,
per pound.
Ccl. PEREKER said, that a.generai Notict up.'
on a subjeft of such importance, was by no means
sufficient, and he therefore was anxious that some
further delay should be given.
Mi. ORMSBY said, that if the Roo. Member
had recolleeted for a moment, he must have known.
that What, he called a general notice, was in faaAo
most specific notice that could be given, becaufle as
all the duties which it was proposed to renew were
in print, a 'notice that they were to be renewed iv. 29
the most specific notice that the sublia would admit
of.

Col. VIRRXER eiplained.
' Mr. MAC:NAGII7'EN said, that every resrea
and attention had been paid in that House to the.
interests of Ireland, but it appeared to him that W')
delay upon this subjeft would be attended with the
greatest inconvenience.
