This day the Royal Assem was given to the Royal Hossfhold

irate Bills.

hearing un the CJ:ie puspoued to '1 bursar, unto which day she

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
'Shortly after the Seen KCR'S taking the Char, the House Was
summoned to attend at the Isar of the House of lords, to hear
the Royal Assent given. by commbsion, to certain public Bills.
The Bitl3 were four. namely. one for making provision for his
Majesty's Household ; a BiU to make good the Regency expences;
a Bid for regulating the Queen's Household ; and a Bill for ma-
naging the private property of the King during his Majesty's illness.
The Forest Timber Preservation Bill was read a Arm timel and
ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.
FOUK AND A HALF PER CENT. DUTIES.

Mr. CREEVEY rose to submit his motion relative
to the 4i per Cent. Leeward-Island Duties. These
Duties, in his opinion, ought to be appropriated to
the service of the West-India Islands, and Barbadoes
in particular ; if net so applied, they ought to be paid
into the Exchequer, in aid of the public ; or, at least,
they could not have become the property of the
Crown; and as this was A period when a new regu-
lation was about to be made respecting the Civil
List, this would be a proper time to inquire into the
subject. The Honourable Member then entered into
an historical review of the original colonization and
grant of the Island of Barbadoes to Lord Carlisle,
in the reign of Charles IL and read an Act passed in
the public Assembly of the Islend, during that Pi ince's
reign, granting a duty of 41 per cent. 'upon all neu-
tral produce of the island exported, to the Crown, to
defray the expences of building and repairing a pub-
lic prison and forts ; and for defraying other expellees
which Government might incur in providing for the
safety of the island. This passed in the reigns of James
and his successor, without any mention being made of
the 44 per cent. duties ; b mein the reign of Queen Anne
an address was presented to the Throne, stating, that
the 41 percent. duties had been diverted from their ori-
ginal porpose ; and praying that tlrey might revert back
to their original purpose : and in the Household Bill,
passed soya after, special exception was mad.: resp..c-
ting these Duties. They, however, were again di-
vented from their right course, anJ, at the commence-
ment of the present reign, an arrangement vies en-
tered into between the Crown and Parliament, when
the Crown consented to take a sum of 4800,000 an-
nually, in consideration of - the different sources of
revenue before that time possessed by the Crown, and
which revenues were, by name, given up to the-pub-
lic. It bad since been said, that the Four and a
half per Cent. were not given up at that time by
name. How could it ? It was not the property of
the Crown ; as a part ef its hereditary rights, it had
been specifically given up by Queen Anne, and was
never enjoyed by George the First or Second. It
had been said the produce of this revenue was tri-
fling. He fieund, upon inspection, that the whole
amount up to-1809 was £1,660,000. Ont of this
sum, he found 4130,000 had been appliei to pay the
salaries of Governors-not Governors of Barbadoes,
but Governors of Guernsey, Jersey, &c. No Gover-
nors came amiss to the people of Barbadoes. The
good people of Barbadoes had also been called on to
subscribe to the special service money no less a sum
than 3026,000. But their liberality did not stop here;
it had contributed considerable sums towards the
support of his Majesty-no less in all than £170,000.
The next proof of the liberality of the poor people of
Barbadoes was subscribing from their fund 4740,000
in pensions ; and so liberal bad they been in this re-
spect, that the fund had become a resource for all
the fashionable people in London. The Hon. Mem-
ber, after some further obsel vations on the applications
of this fund, concluded by moving-
" That a Select Committee should be appointed, to enquire
into the amount of this Fund at the commencement of earls year
aids present Majesty's reign, and the manner of its appropri.
