INCOMI TAX.
The lioufe having refol•ed intcra Committee on
the Property and Income Tax Bill,
The Duke of Noityout and the LoauCKao es xxoe
entered into a long converfation as to the nature of
property veiled in the funds, and how far it was fair,
ly the objea of taxation, particularly when belonging
to foreigners.
The Duke of NORTOLIC propofed an amendment,
that the property of filch foreigners as fhould be vetted
in our funds fubfequent to the enaament of this Bill,
Mould be fubjea to the contribution. Of this provi.
(ion the Noble Duke contended that no complaint
could be made, as foreigners would then be aware of
the conditions upon which they might obtain a fecure,
lodgment for their money in our (tacks.

STIPENDIARY CURATES' COMPENSATION SILL

The Order of the Day being read for the fecond
reading of the StipendiaryCurates'Compenfation Bill,
The Duke of NoaroLc oppofed the fecond read-
ing, upon the ground that the Bill by propofing a
grant of money to the Crown to be railed by taxes
upon the people, and then tacking to it another ob-
jed, amounted to that fpecies of meafure which, upon
a fettlement of certain difputes formerly pending
between both Houles of Parliament, and which he
hoped never to fee revived, it was fettled that no
money bill, including any other obje&, lhonld ever
be entertained by that Houle. Late, however, as
it was in the Seffinn, and much as be approved
the objet of the Bill in providing for the wants and
compenfating the loiles of a meritorious clafs of
the Clergy; yet, confcious thin they would fuftain no
material injury during a very fhort recefs, and that a
proper Bill might be brought forward early in the
next feC6on, not liable to this objedion, he Ihould
move, that the Bill be read a fecond time this day
three months.

The Loao Comma LLOR laid, that upon the minut-
eft confideration of this Bill, it did not appear toshim
to be of a nature really open to the objeftions of the
Noble Duke, becaufe not really of that compledion
with thole Bills which had been formerly fent up from
the Houle of Commons, artificially contrived to fecure
their palling that Houle. It was, however, worthy
of confideration with the Houle, to learn whether
the provilion made in this Bill was approved by a Re-
verend Bench in that Houle, whole fentiment upon
fuch a Juliet he thought highly important.
The EMI) of L.•NDON highly approved the prin
ciple of the Bill, fo far as it went to the relief of Cu-
rates, and trolled it %mild be found fully to anfwer its
o'ojefts. TM. was his own opinion, for he had not
had an opportunity of confulting his Rev. Brethren on
the fubjeCt; nor WA, he cowl), tent to pronounce any
opinion on the fubjea of the Noble Duke's übjeClions,
but would be guided by the fence of the Houle.
The LORD CH •ti C t LLoa obferved, that if the Houfe
fhould nut think fit to pals the Bill now, he 'rutted
no great inconvenience would arife to the parties, for
whore relief it was intended ; but he pledged himfelt
that, if nn other perfon in either Houle thould
pole a Bill for the like porpole the first week in the
next SelGon of Parliament, he would himfelt propele
one in the week following.
The Duke of Noiroxx's motion was then put and
carried.

The Earl of Surrnsa gave notice, !hat he (hould,
on Monday. bring forward a quelit(iii on the oubjett
of the neeetEty of appointing A Military Council in
this country.—Adjourned till tomorrow.
