pl ring of Agricultural Distress.
BANKS OF THE TIIAMES.

Sir F. OMMANEY presented a Petition frotn the Trustees
of the London Bridge Water Works, praying to be heard by
Counsel against the Bill lately introduced for repealing so much
of the 23d Car. 11. as prevents persons from Buikling on the
sinks of the Thames, between London Bridge and the Temple.
Mr. C. CALVERT declared that the Bill had in view the
protection of the rights, and not the infringement of those of
any person. lie wished the /lon. Member to make a personal
examination of the state of the quays, and he would see that there
were very just reasons for the introduction of this
on the table.
Mr. T. WILSON presented a Petition from certain Mer-
chants, Traders, ate. of London, praying to be heard against
the Bill for allowing persons to build on the Batiks of the
Thames, between London Bridge and the Temple.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE felt interested in this case. notwith-
standing that he was not one of those happy ducks thit bad the
felicity of waddling through the muddy alleys of Crooked-lane
and Thames.street !—(Lchightee.)
Petition was brought up and bed on the table.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRILIS.

Mr. COKE presented a Petition from several Agri-
culturists in Norfolk, praying for relief, and com-
plaining particularly of the late Duty on Malt, and
the Agricultural Horse Duty. He said that this
was a subject of so much importance, that it was a
matter of surprise that the Government should not
have been the first to take it up. But instead of that
they threw cold water on the complaints tithe Agri-
culturists, and testing upon their majorities, they
passed by the necessity which was every day more
and more manifesting itself for their interposition.
The principal object of the Petition was to repeal the
last Duties imposed on Malt. He was sure that, by
carrying economical measures into a few only of the
branches of.expenditure, the amount of this tax might
easily be met. He had no hesitation inlaying that
he wads no friend to protecting duties, for he thought
the principle of them was bad in any point of view,
'and wholly ineffdctual for the particular object they
aimed at. The House would observe, for instance,
that when the Duty was laid on the importation of
foreign Wool, it was from 80s. to 84s. After the
laying on of the duty it fell to 455. and, now, he
yoga ask, was it much above 355.? It vow not.
then, a protecting duty he would wish to me pro.

posed as a remedy for the distress of the Agricul- ,
twists. No ;he would relieve them by a reduction d
tuation.-(Hear)--that, and that only, was the remedy
from which any benefit could be expected. Some
affirmed that our distress arose from the over (plan.
04 of production—some declared that it was attri-
butable to an " ignorant impatience of taxation !"
home again said that our distress was occasioned by
an excess of population. But the real truth was, that
no remedy could be expected to be provided for the
universally admitted miseries of the People, without
a change of system. If those who usually supported
Ministers, and enabled them to keep their influence
in the Councils of the State, would still continue to
do so in spite of the alarming progress of distress,
and in spite of the inability 8r the unwillingness of
those Ministers to go about looking for a remedy,
then the landed men must unite, and force Ministers
to a reduction of taxation—(Hear).—Let them try
what they could do towards relieving the People;
—and, if it failed—if the reduction of taxation failed
to stop the approach of bankruptcy, then he would
say boldly, that the Funds must—must be resorted
to !—(Loud cries of Hear, Hear o—There must be a
reduction of the Debt some way or other.—He trusted
that the Honourable Member for Suffolk, who was
one of those who usually supported Ministers, and
who were the cause of all our evils, was sincere in
' his motion that night, and that his proposition was
'not the result of some collusion between him and
Ministers, for the purpose of keeping up the delu-
sion of the country! at least he feared that the Ho-
nourable Member had voted for the Malt Tax ; and
if so, he would not Place much confident* in his zeal
for a remedy for the public distress.—The Homo •a6k
Member sat damn antidload cheering.
Mr. BIRCH considered this as an extremely im-
proper time to bring forward this question, which
was to relieve the distresses of one class by adding to
those of ant:other.
Mr. GOOCH said, he understood the Member for
Norfolk to have alluded to him, and insinuated that
he acted in concert with Ministers. He denied the
insinuation ; he did not, in this instance, act at all in
concert with Ministers. He should be ashamed of
doing so ; he should be ashamed of being the tool of
any Ministers, or any set of men whatever.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL, alluding to a motion of
an Honourable Member (Mr. Maberley) standing for
to-night, suggested the propriety of postponing it.
Mr. MABERLEY said, he could not postpone the
motion ; he had already intimated as much to the
Honourable Member for Surrey.
Mr. HOLME SUMNER acknowledged the Ho-
nourable Member had communicated the impossibi-
lity there was that he should postpone his thotion.
He (Mr. Sumner) was anxious to bring forward the
agricultural question, because many Gentlemen
wanted to leave town to attend the Assizes.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY was anz.ous to have
the motion brought on.
Mr. G. BENNETT thought his Honourable Friend
(Mr. Maberley) right in persisting in bringing for-
ward his motion. It would be better to postpone
the motion of the Member for Surrey till to-morrow.
The Petition was then received, and ordered to be
printed. TILE ARMY ESTIMATES.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the Returns on this
subject were now before the House, and the Esti-
mates were to have been discussed to-morrow, but
as time was necessary for their investigation, he
should propose that they be taken into consideration
on Friday next. OPTUALMIA.
Sir R. FERGUSON moved for a particular and
detailed Account of the Expenses of the Opthalmia
Establishment since its first institution.
Mr. F. LEWIS hoped the Honourable Member,
when he had obtained this account, would institute
some proceeding upon it, that an individual, to whom
the country were under the greatest obligations,
might have an opportunity of justifying himself from
the charges made against him.
Mr. BENNETT wished for inquiry on the subject.
Sir C. LONG was convinced his Noble Friend
(Lord. Palmerston) would not oppose the production
of this account ; and would also be most ready to go
into an inquiry..
After a few words from Mr. 3. P. GRANT and Mr.
F. Lams the motion was agreed to.
AFFAIRS OF NAPLES.

Sir' It. WILSON was desirous of putting a ques-
tion to the Noble Lord on the subject of a Letter,
purporting to be a Letter from Sir W. A'Court to the
Neapolitan Authorities— ( See this Letter in Me Sus
ef sesterdao.—The Letter declared, that the squa-
dron of British ships would preserve neutrality, unless
direct insult was offered to the Royal Family : he
wished to know from the Noble Lord, whether such
was indeed the condition of our neutrality ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH declined to give any an-
swer to this question. The Honourable General
might move for the production of the Letter in ques-
tion, and state his reason, and then an answer could
be given to him.
Sir R. WILSON said, he would on a future day
move for this document.
ECONOMY OF EXPENDITURE.
Mr. MABERLEY then rose to bring forward his
motion on this subject. He seas persuaded nothing
but economy could benefit the agricultural or any
other class, and be hoped be should have the sup-
port of all persons in the House on that subject. He
would not ask Ministers to repeal taxes, unless he
could shew the expenditure could be reduced. He was
persuaded a reduction to the amount of £3,000,000
might be made in the Public Expenditure; and if
the present Ministers would not undertake to govern
the country under such retrenchments, they should
retire, and suffer others who were ready to under-
take it to supply their places. He was decidedly of
opinion that faith should be kept with the public cre-
ditor, but this could only be done by economy. And
be would endeavour to point out the branches in
which such economy might take •place. To do this,
he should take, as he considered he fairly might, the
years 1792 and 19204,and compare them. He should
do this under four heads—first, the Income of 1792,
and then the Expenditure for the same year; next,
be should take the Expenditure of 18110, and the In-
come. The Hon. Member then proceeded to state
the several items of expenditure for the year 1820,
and the income liable to be applied to meet that ex-
penditure, complaining of the complex nature of the
accounts as laid before the House; but, .as far as
be could collect, the whole amount of expenditure
for last year was 46,763,3501 for the Civil and

Military Establishments of the Codlatry. In the year
1792, the whole expenditure, Civil and Military,
including the interest_ of the. National Debt, was
£15,709,000; and the estimated income, to meet
this expenditure, amounted to £16,212,000. The,
Sinking Fund of 1821 had been broken in upon
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to the amount's
of five millions. In 1792 Ireland was a separate'
lim, and her expenditure for the Army, Navy,
Ordnance, and Misceeous Services, amounted to
£1,200,000. In 1792 the expenses of the Army,
Navy, Ordnince, and Miscellaneous Services of
Great Britain, had amounted to somewhat more than
four millions ; and, in 1820, the expenses of the Army
alone had been nine millions; and the whole had
amounted to £19,303,300. Such an expenditure
must be cut down, or it would be impossible for the
country ever to go to war. The difference between
the expenditure of 1792 and 1820 was equal to
fifteen millions. There was also a great per centage
in the collection of the Revenue. The expense of
collecting the Custom House Duties amounted in
Great Britain to 13 per cent. and in Ireland to 23.
A Committee had been appointed to inquire into the
different branches of the public expenditure, by
whose labours some good had been effected, though
it had been appointed by the Crown and not chosen
by that House. That Committee (termed the Com-
mittee of Finance) had made a Report in June 1817,
that £17,350,000 was sufficient to cover the expenses
of the Army, Navy, Ordnance, and Miscellaneous
Services ; yet, in 1818, the Estimates had risen
£1030,000 above the Report of the Committee.—
He conceived that, in the Estimates for the present
year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was bound to
keep within the Report of the Committee. It ought
also to be kept in view, that between the prices of
1817 and 1821, there was a difference of 20 per
cent. in favour of the latter, so that there should be
for the present year a reduction of a million below
the Report of the Committee. He should state the
income of the country at 120 millions annuAlly, on
which a per centage of 45 1,6 was paid, being 23 per
cent. on the interest of the national debt, and 22 /2
on indirect taxation, making in the aggregate 451 A
per cent. With such accumulated 'milieus to pay,
the Agriculturist was not in a better state now than
be had been in 1792, and was in fact paying all the
increase above that period out of his capital. At
the same time he was firmly of opinion that nothing
but absolute bankruptcy should occasion a breach of
faith with the public creditor. But the Fundholder
would be more benefited by relief afforded to the
Public generally, than by any regulations that exclu-
sively affected himself. In the event of any change
in the Government of the country, he looked to no
other place than what he then occupied. But if
Ministers were not disposed to make the retrench-
ments which the state of the country imperiously
demanded, they ought to give place to others that
would. He should shape his motion so as to obtain
the assent of the Agriculturist, and of all who were
anxious for the honour of the country. The Hon.
Gentleman concluded by moving,
" That it appears to the House that the Finance Committee,

potted that the expenses of she

log that recommended by the Committee of Finance In 1511.
and recommends for that purpose a reduction of SO per ciat. es
all Inhabited Houses and Windows."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
served, that though the notice of the Honourable
Gentleman's motion related exclusively to the duties
on houses and windows, no mention whatever had
been made of those duties iu his speech. It could
not be imagined that he would, on the sudden reply
to all the statements of the Honourable Gentleman.
In 1792, the taxes had been lower than they had
been since the American war; but soon after the
close of that year an increase of the expenditure had
taken place. On comparison of the expenditure of
1792 with that of 1820, the sum of five millions was
to be struck for expenses which had no existence in
1792. Since that period the country had nineteen
additional colonies to defend ; and those additional
colonies had the effect of increasing the expenditure
at home. He must also state, that the present was
not the proper time for the motion ; and that the
Honourable Gentleman seemed to have begun at the
wrong end. As the annual votes would come soon
before Parliament, that would be the proper time for
inquiry. A great source of expense had been created
by the pensions to Officers, and the Half-pay List;
but to such expense no man could object who knew
how nobly it had been earned. As in a period when
the articles of life were dear, the allowances were
not increased; so they should not be diminished in a
season of cheapness. In the Estimates that would
be submitted to the House, it would be found that a
reduction of above a million had taken place, and
that the total amount would hardly exceed the Re-
port of the Committee of 1817. The income of the
country was 200 millions, and not 120, as had been
stated by the Honourable Gentleman ; that had been
the same in which the Property Tax had been charged
in different proportions, and that tax had not affected
the income from labour. The Honourable Gentle-
man had afforded no explanation of the practical
part of his motion, nor why he had selected the tax
on horses, as that tax bore but in a very small de-
gree on the Agricultural Interest. The amount of
the tax was 1.3,600,000; the duties were collected at
a small expse, and the expense of collecting the
half would be almost equal to that upoa the whole.
The tax was also paid by the higher classes, and if
taken off, there would be no ready-Roney
'taxes. In 1792, a great part of trasalaries had been
paid by fees and perqututes, the amount of which it
was impossible accurately to ascertain. But those
had been all done away, and the whole had been
now brought under the eye of Parliament. He did
not say that no reduction could be made ; for a dimi-
nution of expense to the amount of 1:130,000 an-
nually had taken place in the management of the
Customs. He and his colleagues were ready to give
place to the Whigs, if the House and the country
thought they could conduct with more advantage the
affairs of the State. Political charlatans, were never
wanting to volunteer their services; and Hunt, Car-
ideo or Cobbett, would be ready at all times to utak',

that an addition to the taxes of the country tali
not fall heavily upon the people, when the exiting
taxes could with difficulty be paid? The fact was,
that the Right Hon. Gentleman took more km the
farmer than the farmer gained for himself--(ffiert.
