intrai**:l the Sanaa manner, and he trusted they
vmuld be so next year.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, spoke a
Pep/ words in answer, across the table, but in "a
tore quite inaudible.--(The Resolution was then
r.Tr .ed to.) . .

Mr. Fa.,..lcr raid, he wished to know whether
he understood the Right lion. Gentleman cor-
rectly, in believing that 156,0001. was the
atnonnt of revenue acquired by the•Lcttery.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this
sam .wiq a part only. •
.lilr. Tamer said, that on the Lottery question
carning before the Committee, he certainly should
resist it. Ne-considered it an impositton.
`The Resolution for Duties
_upon Tea was
agreed to.=—The Resolution for the 'Lottery was
then proposed.—Mr. BERN AL said, he entered
iiiciprotest against this immoral'and unprofitable
mode of raising a revenue. Ministers had now,
he thoudht, an opportunity of giving it up with
r% rood grace.—Strangers were ordered to with-
tliaw ; tut .

"Mr. BFNNET rose. He was surprised the Rt.
lien. Gentleman opposite would suffer this ques-
to go to a division without saying a word in
thrence of his old friend.—(A laugh.)---He really
's.:l:=lted the country to l: now what the Rt. Hon.
“i-,ntlernlin was, because there existed no neces-
sity for this imposition. If a Chancellor of the
,Eichequer Wanted money, of course he would
put his bards into,the pockets of the public, and.
vai...e out of tl?m whatever he wanted. All that
he (Mr.• B.). understood very well. -Ministers
Vi•ould- then very naturally say, " We want
money, and we care for neither morality nor
virtue, so that we get the money." But here the
money was not wanted. He should have said
nothing about this vote had it not been accom-
panied by an attempt at virtue: He alluded to
the building of churches and:the filling of those
churches with preachers. Ile wondered the Rt.
Hon. Gentleman did not imitate a Bishop of
Winchester of oh!, and tax the public stews ;
th.,:is raising a fund out of the profligacy of the
conatry. With the Society fdr the Suppression
of Vice at his back, there could be no difficulty
in the Right Hon. Gentleman doing this.. The
tax would be a fine feature in the .Budget ; it
would g 6 hand in hand with the Lottery, and
like that it 'AVO'lid bring Vice and money together.

mr..cuipps e2f-tr.dca the Tax; and Mr. W:SMITH and
Mr. GIPP'S opposcd it.
trangcrs were then ordered to withdraw, and the.Coannit-
tc.e-diVidal, when there appeared—

The Chairman then left the Chair, the House resumed, and
the EA.,,pott of the Committee was ordered to be received ca
l',l?nday.

9a the. motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CIiEQUER, it was ordered, that the House at its rising should
adjourn to-Diondo.y.

- • • CRUELTY TO HORSES.
The House went into a Committee en the Bill to punish
Cr:l6lv to Horses.
Mr. COLBURN did not see how the lower classes, whom
it was the object of the Bill to punish, could be liabk o fine
and impiisonment, more than the owners of horses, who ap-
pelimi to be exempt from. all pranisliment.
Mr. R. MARTIN considered the reasoning of' the Honour-
able Member most cogent, and suggested that the Hano-arable
Member tnilit prop se a clause to make the owners of horses
guilty_ of-Wanvm Cruatv. liable to punishment.
Alderman C. S3IITH observed, that the Bill did not go
fir enough. That .mos';patie,:J.: of all animals, the Ass, was
generally used in a most barbarous manner, and it was desir-
able the' Bill should protect Asses as well as Horses. The
Alderman proposed to amend the Bill, by introducing the word
As.ses. •
