Mr. DAWSON agreed in•ltbe propelety of the
measure slow proposed, as; he wia quite convinced of
the inequality of the assessmeafeo. He cautioned his
Right Honourable Friend the Seretary for. Ireland,
against trusting to any of the surveys already in exist-
once, as from personal expelierke he-could assure the
House that nothing could be more imperfect, nothing
more gross than those surveys. -
`Colonel Tamil, Sir Joao Newsom?, and Mr. D.
Baowria, concurred in all that had been said by the

Mr. GOULBURN was fully aware of the great inac-
curacy of the printed surveys—The Motion was then
agreed to, as was another Resolution for the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to consider the best mode

SILK TRADE.
Mr. H USKISSOisI rose to move that the House should
resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to
take into consideration certain matters connected With
the Silk Trade, for the purpose of acquainting the House
that an arrangement had been made with the perspns
interested in that trade, by which it was settled that the
duty on the stock on band should be remitted—(Ckeers).-
Mr. ELLICE repeated the statement he had made
early in the evening, that the. parties interested had left
town perfectly satisfied with that arrangement. He
begged to state that he had attended a meeting of per-
sons concerned in the silk trade yesterday; whom he
bad advised to desist from an intention to petition for an
extension of time, convinced as he was that in- the
t temper" of the House such Petition would not
treetstetl:ended to. • ,
Mr. HUSKISSDN said he intended to move that all
silk goods in a manufactured state should be received
into warehouses on and for one month after the 25th of
March. instant, with liberty to take them thence for
home consumption, and that one half of the duty on
such silks should be remitted. He agreed with the
Honourable Member for Coventry that no application
for an extension of time ought to:be made.
Itt answer to a question from Mr. Alderman WOOD,-
Mr. HUSKISSON stated, that any person aright de-
posit goods in warehouse ; every facility' would be af-
forded them; it would only be required that`the goods
should be new, and in a reasonable quautity—namely, a
single piece.
Mr. HUME wished to know how long the parties
might keep their stocks on hand?
Mr. HUSKISSON answered, that by a previous Re-
solution, it had been agreed, that any person lodging the
raw material before the 25th March should be allowed
to take it out again, one half the-duty being remitted ;
'the present Resolution went to extend that principle to
manufactured silk any time within the thirty days.
Mr. ELLICE said, one beneficial effect of the mea-
sure was, that he knew many manufacturers to have left
town with a determination to set all their people at
work, in order to have the raw, material then on hand
worked up by the 25th.
Mr. HUSKISSON then moved..—,l That it is the opi,
nion of this Committee,- that one half the duty be re-
mitted on such manufactured silk as shall be taken out
for home consumption. within 30,days from 25th inst."
The Resolution was agrod to, and the Report ordered to be tead
to-ntorrow.—Adjourned. - ,

This forenoon we received a Brazil Mail, with the
Diario do Govern() of ltio de Janeiro, frowthe 26th of
November to the 9th of January, inclusive. The

gence these papers contain is of considerable interest,
and must tend to diminish the hopes of Portugal being
able to recover her lost' egipite in. Brazil. When the
• Emrznon dissolved the Legislative Assembly at Rio de
Janeiro, in November last, we were the first to justify
the measure as necessary, under the circumstances that
had occurred, and to defend his MAJESTY from the
charge made against him by our brother Journalists, of
having any design of- betraying Brazil to the Court
of Lisbon.

On dissolving an Assembly which had disgraced it-
self by its intemperance, the EmpEnon promised a new
Constitution, calculated to place their freedbm and in-
dependence on a more solid basis. No time was lost in,
redeeming this pledge, and in the San of the 23d ult.l
we had the pleasure of announcing that a new Consti-
tution had been formed for Brazil, on the most liberal'
basis, in which it was declared, that " all the powers in
the Empire of Brazil are delegations from the nation."
By the arrival of the Brazil Mail this morning, w
and that the promptitude and good faith of the EMPI.
IIOR has been met by adeserving confidence on the.
part of the people. The new Constitution, which was
'transmitted to the Senate within five weeks of the dis-
solution of the Assembly, for its approval or rejection„
was immediately approved of; and in order to avoid all
delay as much as possible, and at the same time
ascertain the public opinion, books were opened, to
which the Citizens were invited to sign their' opi-
nion, whether, in favour or against the constitutiOs.
—After the books had been open twelve days, the Senate
