great question, but I shall say, my Gpinion upon it re,
Mains unaltered. I very much regret to be under
the necesaity of acting differently from those under whose
banners I have hitherto fought, but I see no reason what-
ever to alter the opinion I have before expressed. I have
no doubt that those who are the promoters of this mea-
sure, are so from conscientious motives, anl I hope they
ayill allow that I act under the same feelings.
COAL TRACE.
The Marquis of LONDONDEItItY said he was anxi,
ous to occupy a few moments of their Lordships' time, and

should not interrnpt the business of the House, for nobo'
could be more anxious than he was to have the Catholic
Question settled, but for the progress of a ,measure which
f
might shortly interfere with the commercial interests Of
the country. His Noble Friend was last- year pleased t.?
pay great attention to the coal trade, and he (Lord London;
derry) looked forward most anxiously to the fulfilment el
the promise given last year, that he would institute a CIO'
mittee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the
coal trade. The object he bad in view this evening Wes
to ask, whether after this great question had been die.
posed of, such a Committee would be instituted for the
purpo4e of relieving the coal trade from the taxation under
which it laboured. If coal were a luxury in London be
should not introduce the subject at present. One feet
would show the enormous tax that is placed on this cool'
modity. The coal owner got sixteen or eighteen ehillioge
in the chaldron on his best coal, the freight to Lando°
might be 10s. more ; he could safely say, there was o°l
one of their I.urd.ll pi that possessed a chaldron of cod
in their cellars under 50,. so that there was 2.?:'
for metage, import, taxation, and God knows what. . fie
had been one of the persons who had waited on the Chao'
cellor of the Exchequer at various times, and there alwaje
appeared to him to be a great fear of doing any thing to
give offence to the City of London : that City was ender
!touring to bring into Parliament a Bill for defraYill
the expences of the approach to London B idge by a t°
on London coal: , He knew it had been sapposed that tle
Coal Owners kept up the price of coal : this he did not cot
eider the fact, but ascribed it to the taxes imposed fro°,
time to time on that article. The Coal Owners weer we
anxious that the subject should be taken into considers
tion, and sifted to the very bottom.
The Duke of WELLINGTON—A can assure my Nob"
Friend I do not forget the kindness with which I wet
treated in the north of England, nor do Iforget the result
of the inquiries I made while there with respect toithe coal
trade—inquiries which led me, though not at that titre
in office, to be astonished that the prices of this cornanY
dity should be so high in the city of London, considering
what they were at the pit's mouth. It 'is true that ill
course of various considerations on this subject daring thie,
last Session of Parliament, and particularly -upon a Bill
which referred to the coal meters of the county ix
rey, I did state that I should inquire into the subject,
during the recess, and that I should have no objection t°
a committee of this House being appointed to investigate
the subject in the course of this session of Parliament; a°'
cordingly, I now state that I have no objection to enter
into the inquiry. I must say, however, that ditty'
suit of the contemplates! inquiries I have alreenli
made, tend to prove that the duty imposed by Govell:
ment is not that which occasions the extreme expence 0'
coals in this Metropolis, an expence which is larger they
even that which has been stated by my Noble Friend. Whee
I was in Durham, I understood the difference to be at
between 11 s. and 41s. per chaldron when on board the
ship in the river, instead of 16s. and 365. as he stated;
and the price to the purchaser was between 50s. ane
60s. Now, if your Lordships are informed that
the duty imposed by Government is only 6s. upon this
amount—that the duty imposed by the city of London 'e
only 6d. and 4d., when your Lordships lee died ale°
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a few years ago'
took off half the duty imposed, reducing it to 3s. and that
that made no difference in the price to the purchaser, there
must be sotne abuse existing somewhere in this trade
which occasions the extreme lyhigh price to the consumer
I have stated. I have no objection therefore to enter iote
a complete inquiry of the whole system of the coal trade'
promising, however, that it is impossible for me to gi"
up any part of the duty imposed on behalf of the public.
The inquiries I have already made too. satisfy me thss
the duty cannot be levied at the place of export, bu
at the place of import. The Noble Duke observed, that With,
respect to the duties imposed by the city of London; and
objected to by the Noble Marquis, it was absolutely nr
cessary that those duties should be continued for the VOW°
of making the improvements and communications which the
immense transactions of the port of London required;
and which would be particularly necessary, ufter the coin'
petition of the new London Bridge. Should the 1100.
Duke be appointed one of the Members of the Committee,
he would render every assistance in hit power to investi•
gate the matter throughout.
Lord DURHAM felt astonished that 40,0001. should
now be asked by the City of London for improving the
twhaoyugthot tohfe
beforenew
ding Bridge,or
menced. The City of London now tried to smuggle .
twhhaitehli rhidadge never
eobeellall-
an Act for perpetuating one which was certain to expire
in nine years hence, and which he regarded as
jectionable.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY enquired about
when he might expect the formation of this Committee.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said something to hint
in a low tone of voice, and then they inunedia'e'y both
sat down.
Several other Noble Lords then proceeded to preterit
petitions on the Catholic Question, and afterwards the
Horse adjourned. highly obi

HOUSE OF COMMONS. t
Mr. F. WILSON presented eleven petitions againgt
Catholics, from Wyvil, and other parishes in York. ,L.
Lord BINGHAM presented two petitions from :5
county of Mayo, in favour of the Caths lies. He exprell
his most unquallified approbation of the liberal measal'
that had been brought forward.
Admiral Sir E. HARVEY presented four petitioo
from Waltham Abbey, and other places, against °I

Catholics.
Sir W. INGLEBY presented a petition from High Oa
Low Ilarrowgate, Yorkshire, in favour of the Catholics.
Lord ENCOMBE presented a petition from Memel ,

the county of Essex against the Catholics.
SILK TRADE.
Mr. ROBINSON, in presenting a petition from Mary
chester, praying the House to take into consideration the
laws effecting the Silk Trade, observed that the petition
was well worthy the attention of the Right Hou. Vre°l4
dent of the Board of Trade, it was signed by 2,789 °Pe.
ratives, and described the distressed state of the Silk Trade,
in the town of Manchester; since the alteration
the laws in 1825 there was at the present time no ieSS th'n
5,000 looms unemployed, and it was the opinion of the
petitioners, in which he fully concurred, that the present
d:stress principally arose from the late alterations of thef
laws, and if Government did not adopt some measure °f
prohibition to the Frech silks, a great number of persons
must be pauperized. He was sure Ministers were not in-
sensible to the misery that existed, and seeing a motion in
the pap.r for a consideration of the laws affect:ng the silt
trade, for some future day, he would not now enter
into the particulars of the matter, but content himself
with asking the Right Hon. President of the Board vt
Trade whether it was the intention of his Majesty's G°-
vernment to prodose any measure for the relief of the
Silk Trade, by way of prohibition or otherwise.
The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. V. FITZ'
GERALD) said he should for the present abstain front
making any observations on what had fallen from the Hon.
Member, but he would say:it was net the pl,n)f Government
to teturn to the old system, when the proper time arrived
he should be able to show that the present distress did not
arise from the alterations of the laws, and he would further
say that they had not the most distant idea of teturniog to
prohibitory dirties.
The petition was then read.
ASSESSED TAXES.
Mr. IL COLBURN laid, that he wished to ask
(potion of the Right, Honourable thell Chancellor "
the Exphequer, relative to the Composition for the
.Assessed Taxet. The law relative to this subject
would expire in April 1830, and it was therefore fleet'''.
sary to know what steps the Government intended
to
pursue relative to those compositions.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the time when the composition for the Assessed `1.3%e,:,
would expire was April, 1830, and therefore it w3,9._;.-;

It wag his tyish to have introduced a Bill for the consoeliti
tion and improvement of the Laws respecting the Ass"'
Taxes, which were at preesent, and had been for solve
time, in a bad state, but owing to the complicated uatufet
of tie mea,ure, the Bill he had in contemplation was v°
as yet in such a state of forwardness as would withal°
him in presenting it to Parliament. He had 61s°
to say, that as the composition for the 3-
sessed Taxes depended altogether upon the Assese
Taxes themselves, and as the Bill was not in readinel
to be submitted to the House, he should bring in a 1311
to extend the operation of the former Bill for another )ear',
t'at is to say, to April, 1831.
