• POOPORTY TAX.
The following. Petitions were • presented. against a
conyinosince of the Property Tax. They were ordered
to lie on the table :
Mr. SULLIVAN presented one from the inhabitants
of Ashbourn. in Derbyshire.
Mr. &Ate* presented a Petition from the inhabi-
tants of Exeter and its vicinity against this tax. The
Hon. Member observed, that the Petition would have
been more numerously signed, were it not for the
prevalence of a rumour that the Chancellor of the Ex-
'chequer had relinquished the idea of this tax.
Sic 'ra ACLAND presented Petitions of a similar
niture from the occupiers of land in the North of
Devon, and also one from the parish of Hillock, in
that county.
Mr. ABBIICRObIaIi preheated a Petition from the
town of Banff. .
Mr. SHAW Lersvas presented a "etition to the
same effect from the inhabitants of Reading.
Sir JOHN SIIKEON observed, that he differed in
some degree from his Constituents who transmitted
the present Petition. It contained a strong impute-
dun against Ministers for a dereliction of their public
duty, in bringing forward this subject, after the so-
lemn pledge they gave that it should be discontinued
at the end of the war. Now be, though pre-
vented by illness during the present Session, bad cer-
tainly been a constant attendant, in his seat last year,
and was perfectly ignorant that any such pledge had
been given.—(Haar! from she ONsooltio Brother.).
It was impossible they could .have given such a
pledge. Whether that were the ease or not, be fent
concurred_ with his CONstitUeol4 that this Tax ought
not to be renewed.—(Rear, hose!) In the distressed
state. of the Agricultural and Commercial Interests,
it would be in vain to persevere in levying the Tax.
(Haar!)—He was sorry to dithr, more particelarly
with the Petitioners, in one allegation they had un-
necessarily introduced: he meant ,the imputation
against Ministers on the subject of the Army Esti-
mates, which the Petitioners thought would be ap-
plied against the liberty of the sub;ect. He entirely
discredited this imputation. If he thought Ministers
were capable of contemplating such an attack, he
would be the last man to vote one shilling at their
suggestion, and the first to sound the alarm through.
out the country.— (Thar.)
Mr. HORNER was glad the Honourable Gentle.
man's Constituents would have the benefit of his vote
through all the stages of the proposed Tax Bill ; but
ha was surprised that the Hon. Member should have
thought this a fit time to quarrel with his Consti.
meats on other points of their Petition, in which they
Wore, in his (Mr. Horner's) opinion, right, and the
Honocraisle Gentleman wrong. He could see no ex.
travagance about the manner in which the Petitioners
connected the question of the large Peace Establish-
ment with that which was, in fact, the proposed
aims of keeping it up. They thought that this Es-
timate could not be maintained, because the country
could not afford it. He (Mr. tioricr) thought dif-
ferently ; and his main objection to the Estimate was
not as to its expense, but as to the establishment it.
self. —(lleur, hear.) His hostility to the Tax was
not for its amount, but for being a heavy inquisition,
fair a most unconstitutional.purpose.— (Mar. ) The
Honourable Member could not have read the Yeti.
tint', when he stated that ratliament had not made
a pledge un the subject.
Sir J. SIMEON—,4 Nut Parliament, but the Go-
imminent and Ministers."

Mr. HORNER •••44 Well, then, the Government
and Ministers: And the Petitioners, in stating that
Glvernme:,‘ had forfeited its faith to Parliament and
the Public, Ii ive merely asserted that which is agree.
able to the 'Act, and what is on record as a matter of
grave and important accusation. It was distinctly.
held out as A War fax only —(flear)—and the at-
tempt to i•npose it now is a finfiture of a deliberate
and recorded pledge. This pledge was in the recol-
lection of those who were iii attendance in Pasha-,
meat last year most way confirmed.—(Dear, hear.)
Tire Honourable Member was, therefore, wrong in
accusing his Constituents of an absurdity, where none,
had been made." At ail events, he (Mr. Horner)
was glad they were to have the benefit of his vote in
this particular question.
Mr. P. METHUEN would be glad to know when
the Petitioners were to have complained of the Esti.
mates, if not at the present moment?—(Hear.)
Mr. DAVENPORT corroborated the statement
that a pledge had been given, as stated in the Peti.
lion.--(Hear. hear.)
Sir CHARLES MORDAUNT said that the nni.
versa' opinion was that a breach of faith had taken
place on the part of the Government : some even
asserted that Parliament was involved in it. This
'was the great reason why he should vote against the
Tax.

Mr. DICKENSON presented a similar Petition
from Wellington, in the county of Somerset, and ex-
pressed his lull persuasion, that if the existing griev-
ous weight of taxation were not taken from the shoul-
ders of the. different classes in society, they would
each sink one 'class into another ; and he would be
glad the Chancellor of the Exchequer would tell him
what was to become of the lowest class I—(llear.)
He stated, that he entirely concurred in one allega-
tion in this Petition, which eagablisbed the advantages
which the funded had over the landed system. The
man who-vested his capital in the latter a few years
ago, now• by the depression suffered a loss of one
half t it he disposed of the same sum in the funds, he
secured for himself four per
.cent. interest, which
would at this time purchase twice as much of the ne.
cessaries of life at it would at the time of his milting
the investiture. And yet, with this existing advan-
tage, the Minister wears to prop up the funds, when
the temptation to purchase in them is so much greater
than' it is to do so in Land.—(bear.) The funds were
to be made every thingg, and lands nothing.— (Ikea.)
Mr. STANIFORTH presented a Petition from
Hull, iu Yorkshire, against this Tax, and declared
his determination to oppose an enactment, Which-was
never huended to have been in existence lodger than
the war.

Mr,THOMPSON was of opinion that every body
felt a general understanding was on record that this
Tax ,Was not to have survived the necessity which
imposed it. The state of national distress was un-
paralleled. There were more bankruptcies during
the List tea months than he ever remembered during
the same number of years. He also dwelt on the

. his

_,Antaga under which the farrotir I 'booted dur-
ing the last two years, in comparison with'the trader,
who could reatice the T.x if he'expl slued his losses
beliwe the Commissioners. The pooriartnersuffered
his injury as tamely •s a
.144erp. and jou have shorn
him to the bone. lie hoped in a ft: a, days, however,
that the public would hear of the total abandonment
of the Tax, and that it shourki never more be heard

of.—(llear.)
Mr. LOCKIIART presented Petitions from the
united Parishes of St. Andrew's, Hilburn, and St.
George the Martyr, on the same subject. He ob-
served, that although he concurred in the opinion of
the Petitioners, that the Tax in its present shape
ought not to stand, he was yet of opinion that the
,Tax upon Property, in a strict sense, ought to be
enacted, but not one which went against Trades or
Tenants. He had always oppled a tax on funded
property, from a conviction that it would neither
benefit trade nor agriculture. On the present occasion
,60 or 70 millions had been added to the de ht,.and more
taxes were necessary to provide interest fur this sum.
He knew no fairer or more effectual way of raising
the amount than a Property Tar, one which, while
it spared those who bad really no prois:rty, would
visit those who held places and pensions. As to a
pledge, it was the first cfhty of Parliament to do what
was expedient and necessary for the public credit of
the State, and bring the burdens of the nation to a
fair equilibrium. .
- Sir JOHN NEWPORT thotiet the suggestion
of the last speaker quite ioapplicable to the present
subject. He (Mr. Lockhart) verned to think it
would be an easy matter to get at those whose cir-
cumstances in lite would really afford the pressure of
the tax. He (Sir John Newport) was, however, of
opinion, that their numbers were very few.—(Hear,
hear.)—lf the proposed Bill for the continuance of
the Property Tar were thrown out, as he augured it
would, and it the Honourable Gentleman brought in
another, directed against those public salaries which
had received augmentation on account of the high
price of provisions, he (Sir John Newport) would
support him in it, being persuaded that they were
fair objects of taxation, now that the prices of the
necessaries of life were scrmuch lower than heretofore.
It, however, the Honourable Member opposite lent
himself to the Chancellor of the Excheqrser's Bill. he
must, to be consistent it least, cut away two-thirds
of its contents—so that in the end it would come out
quite a different etild from that to which the Right
lion. Gentleman meant to give birth. He (Sir John
Newport) could well suppose, that where Members
concurred in the principle of a measure, they might
go into its consideration, with a view of having some
modifications introduced in the details. But the
Honourable Member could not adopt this course on
the preient occasion, where his opinions were sub.
stantially different from those of the proposer of the
intended Resolution. On reflection, he mug feel
this himself ; for it was impossible for him to effect
what he waited without rejecting this. Bill. He
could afterwards introduce another, in conformity
with his view of the case.
Lord NUGENT concurred in the opinions of his
Hon. Friend (Sir John Newport). He would, how.
ever, overlook the fallacy of the. Hon. Member's
argument opposite, and would at once avow, that
his objection to the principle of the Bill was, that it
went to throw a considerable revenue into the hands
of the Crown, before his hltiesty's Ministers mold
fairly pledged to proper measures of retrerchmenr.--
(Hear, hear.).—Actuated by this feeling, he would
not only oppose the Property Tax, but every other
proposition to raise money, until he saw a certainty
that the economical system to which he alluded
would be acted upon.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir CHARLES BURRELL said, that in an in-
dividual in private life, a breach of faith would not
be,tolerated. Why should it be less dishonourable to
1
forfeit a promise in the State ? The pledge, whatever
it was, ought to be inviolably kept.—(Hear, hear,)

INCREASE 'OF SALARIES.
Mr. BROUGHAM rose, not for the purpose of
putting a question to the Gentlemen on the Treasury
Bench—fur they would, of course, adopt the :dent
system of the Noble Lord, who was not then in his
place, and deprive him of all hope of receiving an
answer—but he rose for the purpose of moving—
,* That there be laid before the House, an Account of the ad-
dict/nail:umber of Collectors sad Assessors of 1 axes appoiuted
la Scotland since tlit 15th of March, 1815, to the presto time;
wish their several Salaries, and the Augmentations, if any."—
Agreed to.
Mr. BENNETT moved, that Accounts be laid
before the House of the increase of salaries among
the Commissioners of Taxes, since March, 1815, and
also for a similar account from the Post-Office, and
whether any new Office had been created therein ;
together with the respective Salaries of the parties,
their increase, &c.—Agreed to.
Mr. LA MBTON ;rho moved for an Account of
the increase (if any) in the Salaries of Auditors of
Excise, since the 25th March, 1815.—Agreed to.
Mr. BROUGHAM expressed 4 ir ye, that to some.
of those accounts, at least, all would be returned.
He particularly hoped to see such a return from the
Auditors of the Excise. 112 would beg to relate us
the House, that while meetings were daily taking
place throughout the country, for the purpose of pe-
titioning against the Property Tax, and whileit was
impossible to suppose that an Auditor. of Excise
could have had an augmentation to his salary, he
bad been informed, that the Mayor of a town, which
for the present should• be nameless, had refused to
convene a meeting, although the legal requisition for
that purpose had been made to him. To account for
this refusal, it had been said, that either he, or an
immediate relative, held an Auditorship of the Ex-
cise, the salary of which,• from being 464/0, was,
within a very short period, incteased to ‘BBOO per an.
nuns—(Hear,lieee). Such was the information which
be (Mr. Brougham) had received—possibly he might
have been deceived—zeal often outstrips facts in trans-
' minim; information—but if he were misinformed, he
could only say, that it was the first tins,: he was so
treated in the quarter from which the communication
transpired. In another Corporate Borough a similar
effort was made, but without effect, for the Petition
Was persevered in and adopted. There, he understood.
that the Magistrate had four sons, three of them in
the navy, and one in the victualling department.—l.
This sheaved something like the motive of local in-
fluence, and the chain by which it might be linked
to Government. The efforts were fruitless, as all
others in this question would be, if the people were
firm in their purpose.(lfesr.)—ln the %Vest of
