;be same time, the House could not be too frequently told, that
the People of Scotland had really no adequate representation in
the Legislature, and it was oo more than just that some alters.

ttle T,iblrj and, aim' a few words from Sir M. W.
RIDUCT, was ordered to be printed.
Mr. LYTTLETON said, that in pursuance of a,
notice which he had been induced to give in solute•
quince of communications from nutty most respec-
table Magistrates ant! Country Gentlemen, as to the
inconventence of:aliosilug the circulation of, Copper
Tokem, he would now move for leave to bring in a
Bill to prohibit the circulation of Copper Tokens.
The motion was agreed to, and the Bill..ordcred
to be brought in.
A Peat= from the Inhabitants of ptourbridge

against Copper Tokens was resented,-read, and or-
dered to lie on the Table.
STATE LOTTERY:.
The House having resolved itself into the Com-
mittee of Ways and Means, ,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved a Resolution authorising a contract for a State
Lottery, to consist of 60,000 Tickles, and that all
the money produced by the sale of these Tickets,
should be paid into the Exchequer, and that one
sixteenth of the sum so received should be applied to
the service of the Country.
The Honourable Mr. LYTTLETON observed,
that the subject of Lotteries having already been
amply discussed, it was not his intention to trespass
fit acy length on the attention of the House, though
at the same time it was impossible not to animadvert
on the conduct of the Right Honourable Gentleman,
in so pertinacionsly adhering to this system of revenue.
As the measure would be brought before the House
by a Bill, he gave notice, that he should then intro-
duce, if possible, some clauses into the Bill. He
had read two letters on the subject from Mr. Thom-
son, who was connected with the Irish State Lottery,
and had received a s :Lary of 0240 on voluntarily re-
signing a situation he held in selling stamps in the
shares in the Lottery, and to which he was certainly
fully entitled. On a former occasion, he (Mr. Lyt-
tleton) had stated, that the Commissioners had got
confused at a dinner given them by the Contractors,
in consequence of too free indulgence, but he was
now glad to state, that that fact WAS considerably ex-
aggerated. He should, when the Bill Was brought
in, move that the number of Tickets be considerably
reduced from the proposed number of 60,000, which
in fact was infinitely too great.;--Knowing, as the
Right Honourable Gentleman did (the Chancellor
of the Exchequer), that all the Tickets weer never
sold. He wished extremely that the miserable system
of puffing carried on for the purpose of cheating the
public WAS put an end to. 1f the Right Honourable
Gentleman should still continue to declare before the.
House and the' public, that he was not ashamed to
sanction fraud, he (Mr. Lyttleton) would confess be
could indeed be much surprised, for he was well
perauaded, that were the public put in full possession
of the plain undisguised stateri.ent of facts in the
schemes of all the Lotteries, the Right Honourable
Gentleman himself must, and would be ashamed of
them—(blear, burr).—He would also move, that in
iuture no boys or children should, on any account,
or any pretext whatever, be permitted directly or in-
directly to have any thing to do with the drawing of
the Tickets. This he should particularly call the
House to do, on the ground of morality.; for to a
benevolent mind, nothing could be more abhorrent
than the idea of educating boys and children to a
system of gaming. Me was here glad to take this
ipportunity of stating, that at a late meetirg of the
Governors of Christ's Hospital, it tv.o unanimously
resolved, that, in future, none of the children under
their patronage should be allowed to have any thing
to do with the drawing of the Lottery—(liter, Azar).
As the Right Honourable Gentleman and his col-
leagues, however, were nut too nice in what they did, '
he should not be surprised that at the very next draw-
ing of the Lottery, a youth should appear in all the
pfrAphernalia of that Hospital, as at a masquerade,
to impose on the public, and to prevent the Resolu-
tion being known—( Hear, bear).—The Honourable
Gentleman then ezotesaed his detevmivation to en-
deavour to put an end to the disgraceful system of
peps in the Newspapers, by winch, lie was con-
vinced, the continuance ut Lotteries depended.
The Resolution was then agteed to, and the House
having resumed, the Report was ordered to be re-
ceived on Monday. ' .
TITHE LEASING BILL.
The above Bill WAS read a second time, and order-
ed to be committed on Friday next.
Mr. F. LEWIS observed, that by an Act of King,
William, Justices of the Peace were enabled,.an ap.'
plication being made to them, to levy, in case of non-
payment of tithes, to the amount of 405.--and, by
the 53d of the-King, that power was extended to
sums not exceeding ,RIO, great as wall as small tithes
being included. He considered this a very salutary
provision, the expense of recovering trifling sums due
tor tithes being enormous—and he wished this sum-
mary power to be extended at least to sums not ex-
ceeding 420—for this purpose he should move •••••
" That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Tithe
Leasing Bin, to make provision therein, to amend so much
of the Act of the 53d of the King, c. 117, as enables Justices
of the Peace to determine complanu relative to tithes Dot
exceeding the sum of ‘lo.“—Agried to.

The Life Annuity Bill was read a second time.—
To be committed on Monday.

SALT DUTY LAWS.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that, after a great many
postponements, he had at length an opportunity of
bringing his motion, on the subject of the Salt Duties
(of which he had given repeated notice, but, from
untoward circumstances, had as often been obliged
to defer it), under the consideration of the House.—
He thought he would not be under the necessity of
detaining the House for any great rength of time;
because, from all he could collect, in conversation
with those whom he had consulted on the subject,
both in and out of the House, ♦ery little difference
of opinion seemed to exist with respect tathe measure.
he meant to propose. All appeared to feel the ne-
cessity of examining the great and grievous Duties
upon Salt, and of having a Committee appointed to
, investigate the laws by which they were imposed.—•
Even those -who would not go so tar wish him as the
appointment of a Committee, where those things
ought to be discussed, did not oppose him so much
ou the,principle of the measure, as on the difficulty,
or, as 'time said, the impossibility of finding a f.tir
commutation of those duties, which,• he thought,
ought to be repealed. If he were to judge of the in-
terest the public took. in this question, tram the ex-
ansire and valuable correspondence addressed to'
him on the subject of the Salt Duties, be should say,
that, as far as his Parliamentary experience went,
few questions were ever considered more truly im-
portant. He, therefor*, regretted that circumstances I
Mad obliged him to postpone the telOtiOß so often—
and. he also regretted this on another account, because
the Salt Duties had fallen is the last quarter, and it
was said, that the agitation. of this question had pro-
duced that effect. He. was glad of this decrease, knit
sorry that he should be considered , the cause of the
defalcation. He was glad, because the falling off
shewed that the buyers espeeted, as they had's riglstl
to wool, that Comae relief afraid be the runts of in-

quiry. In the last quarter the duties had fallen short
to the extent of 4190,000, which proved that some
alteration in the system was called for. In the year
1801, during the administration of Mr. Addingten,
in which the Right Hon. Gentleman held a very
conspicuous situation, a Committee was appointed,
with the unanimous concurrence of the House, to
inquire into this subject, and lie conceived the causes
which called for such a proceeding then, demanded
it still more imperatively now. A suppositiato had
gone forth, that he meant to propose a commutation
for that duties, in the shape of a Property Tax.—
He had been asked, was not that the case ? by seve-
ral persons. But the fact was, the Property Tax was
the very last thing he should think of proposing—
(Year, bear). Indeed, he did not know that any
thing could induce him to concur in the renewal of
that tax, or of any part of it, in time of peace—
(l/ear, hear). The rumour was, therefore, he be-
lieved, circulated to prejudice the cause. He did not
mean to propose any commutation whatever. He
once, indeed, had it in contemplation to suggest a
commutation—but lie had abandoned the idea. He
should move that the subject be investigated by a
Committee, where alone a commutation could be
fairly considered. While he had been prevented from
bringing forward his motion, lie found that some
Gentlemen had Caused the subject to be examined
before the Board of Trade. This might be very
proper—but it was rather curious that such a pro-
ceeding should take place, when he had given notice
of a motion for a Committee of the House of Com-
mons. He hoped, however, that the Board of 'Trade
would convince the Right Hon. Gentleman that
what WAS considered right, and was approved of, in
1801, would alai he right and ought to be highly
approved of, in 1817. The tax 011 Salt amounted
15s. per bushel, %hue the prime cost was only 6J.— !
so that there was a duty of *3OOO on 41100 worth of !
the raw material. It shouli be recollected that this
heavy impost was levied on an article that entered
into almost all the necessaries of file, particularly
thosc.of the lower orders—such as butter, cheese,
bicoo, beef, pork, and even bread. This statement
',done proved that the tax was most grievous and
It operated, in fact, as a sort of income tax
on the wages of the labourer. It might be said,
that the labourer would charge in proportion to this
heavy taxation. But this was not the fact. The
competition for labour lowered its price infinitely
below the !Wee of the articles of subsistence, so that
even now, those who were in employment could not
suppose themselves without parochial relief. The
Honourable Member then called the attention of the
House to the Report of the Committee of 1801,
which, he observed, was quite conclusive on the sub-
ject. That Committee bad expressly stated, that the !
most beneficial effects would be produced by a re-
peal of the duties. They did not think it their pro-
vince to point out a plan of commutation, but they
hoped that Parliament would devise one. All he
now asked was, to go into an inquiry on the subject;
and all he meant to ask in the present Session would
! be, that an exposition of the case should be made.—
!He did not wish to press on the Government the in•
convenience of repealing the duties at the preseut mos
mem, unless, in the Committee, a proper commuta-
tion could be found. The Salt Duties had produced
a revenue of 411,500,000 per ann. and could not be
parted with, when all their efforts were necessary for
the support of the State, without a proper commu-
tation was perinted out. But, if he could chew that
the repeal of those duties would be beneficial—that
the ucrifice would produce an increase of track,
commerce, maaufactures, and agriculture—then, he
conceived, the repeal ought to be conceded. If it
• were objected that Government could not part with,
the revenue, that certainly would be an answer ; yet
it would not still be so far a satisfactory answer to
the House as to induce them not to go into the Com-
mittee, especially when It was recollected that a simi-
lar Committee was mowed for, and carried triumph-
antly, by Mr. Addington. He loped the considera-
tion of the subject would not be prejudiced by its tut-
-fortunately having been moved for by an individual
in opposition.—(Cris If Na, sus)—He had read in
it pamphlet published by that great ornament of Par-
liament and his country, (Mr. Burke), whose works'
were replete with information no less solid than his
language was convincing and eloquent, a passage
peculiarly applicable to the present question, and the
state of things at the present day. It compared the
state of things in Great Britain with those of France
in that particular period (1779), and amongst other
subjects of contrasted comfort, it instanced the ad-
vantages resulting to English subjects from being
furnished with salt at nd. a pound, whilst the
French, owing to the heavy duties imposed upon it,
paid not less than sd. If Burke had lived to see
Englishmen at a period of peculate distress compelled
to purchase all their salt at sd. he would have found
it difficult to find out any other subject upon uhich
he might found a preference on the part of the com-
torts of a poor British :object, as contrasted with
those of a Frenchman. Little as the Right Hon.
Gentleman appeared to think of the species of cons.
tort afforded to all classes by having salt at the lowest
possible price, still Mr. Burke in his pamphlet thought
it materially important. Four years after the Report
of the Committee mentioned,. it was remarkable that
a considerable additional duty was imposed upon
salt, and this sheaved the futility of heaping up be-
neath their table those doer:met !admonitions, in the
shape of Reports of various Committees, which now
and then are brought to the recollection of the House
by some busy, curious, intermeddling pewit, and,
even then, are a n6ject of curiosity for probably no
more than the mere night upon which Mere may be
made perhaps some motion relative thereto —(Hosr,
,hear.)—lo order to trace thit odious tax through its
progress, he had procured s book, -and that not a
!small octavo volume, containing a cods of laws upon
' the subject of salt alone-,,(Ntar,)—in which he
found this tax was as ad as the time of William and
Mary, and then bad been proposed, as the Chancel-
lor§ of the Exchequer, time out of mind, tienerallx
had proposed every tax sue every innov,ation, as
'mutely temporary—(Hear, leser.)-The impost then
was no more than_ Mese halfpence per bushel ; this
was increased by subsequent Acts in different reigns,
until by the 58th of George 111. it became 10s. which
was subsequently incensed to 15s. by the 43d of the
King; thus creating a duty of 418,000 upon an ar-
ticle intrinsically worth but reloo-a(Heor, hear.) In,
jts progress through these augmeotations, the subject

the scientific part of the subject, however inlets!,
be should not trouble the House, but confine lm
to the useful. Much light had been thrown ups,
subject by the ingenious ptiblication of Pas
who had described salt as applicable to many as,
purposes, in chemistry,•husbandry, and matushice
particulatly as manure for either arable or grabs,
and serviceable to the health and nurture 0, c,
and the preservation cf hay in wet or bad Se,
that hay which, in the last sewn, was only
manure, might, by the properties of silt, be rem
nutritious and palata'• le to cattle. Strauge tss ss

ter should be started, he world avail himself of hit
privilege to 'reply to it. At presatit would mita:

" That a CommittLe ix arpoitited to Inquire into the Law,
relating to the Salt Duties, and into the means of rimed),
Incoovenfencies arising therefrom; and t ) teport to the rt.tut
from time to flute."

Mr. DAVENPORT inveighed against the Sah
Duties, as the worst possiule mode of rais'n4 tete. ,
nue. He had, from personal kuowledge ut its ef-
fects in the county of Cheshire, derived this COliV.•
tion. It had been said, that this article ILA ben
granted duty tree to the fisheries. The Hothe wou:d
ehstily imagine that this could scarcely be c•aisidrred
free, when it was to be drawn from whirr the lto4
hand of the Excise—(Hear, hear). Ile was 11.1 san-
guine enough to expect a duty of A3.0c0 et/
cent. would be likely to be taken off all at once.
reduction was expected, and loudly de:ll4ll,lrd. r.e
salt trade laboured at Fresent %ruder great difficulries.
Great quantities of fcr eign salt tot e used in the fist c-
ries and other departments of trade. They managed
things better in other countries in this respect, toe
when Lord Clancarty was our Envoy in the Nether•
lands, he. had been solicited to use his endeavours
with that Government to procure the admission of
our salt into that country ; but they would not hear
of it, and silenced the recommendation by ob,erving.
they themselves were also manufacturers ut the same
material.
l'he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied to the observations of the Honourable Mover
of the Resolution. A considerable defalcation, it
appeared, had taken place in this branch of the reve-
nue already, which, of course, arose from the falling
off of ordejs for salt from the trade. Mooting the
present question was not likely to increase the num-
ber of orders, or augment the already impaired re-
venue. The Honourable Member should also have
offered something by way of commutation, if so
large a portion of the revenue were to be given up.
Could he shew that Government was in that rate
that it could surrender X 1,500,000 in revenue, with-
out excessive inconvenience ? Itt the reign et Queen
Anne the tax on salt stood at 31.4 d. per bushel; and
in 1730, although the Salt Duties were repealed cc-
' tit*, so little did the public value the coneessioe,
that in two years afterwards the tax was renewed
without a murmur. Considering the alteration in the
prices of most articles of consumption, that which in
1779, when Burke wrote, was sold for 20. might
very fairly, in proportion to the rise on other things,
have risen to sd. • At that time, teo, no exemption
in favour of fisheries or manufactures., had beta
granted by the Salt Duty Laws. This exemption
had been thought by some of the wisest heads soil-
cient for the purpose of insuring an ample supply of
salt fish ' • and by the provisions of the Bill now be-
fore the House. the Commissioners of the Renner
were empowered to grant Rock Salt for that purpose.
Great indulgences would be granted to the fisherin
by the previsions of this Act, and some to the agri-
culturalists. Tire medicinal use of salt to cattle was
well known ; yet the quantities used were so small,
that it was not very probable the farmer would per-
mit his rattle to perish !or want of the little they
might require, even at the present rate of pr;ee. Ile
held joins hand a memorial from same of the a fa,t
respectable manufactrirers of this article in Cheshire,
Messrs. Broughton ind Co. Sutton and Co. and others,
statirig it to be their conviction, that if these Jatiel
should be repealed, the effect would be blur ;oils to
the public treasury, and also to individuals, wl'e
would thereby be tempted to embath their capital in
a trade already too much overstocked, both with
hands and capital for the present consumption--
(Hear,_ and laughing on the Opporitien ride of the Horse)!
Ha also thought the preparation of mineral alks'ys
in the quantity that might thus Is' procured, sonld
probably much discourage the making of kelp co the
coast and islands of Scoland, which formed a con-
siderable part of their support. He should therefore
mote the previous question.

tecessity there was for Parliament interfering and
'eating she exclusive monopoly which these inte-

...sing want of subjects for labour had driven the
i,tt'the Houses of Parliament, and the people

of salt would, more than'any thing yet pro.

I tiri. :at did Lord S. ()mini& (no bad iatiteri) sa)r on
this 'point ? it was his opinion that one ton of salt
(the value of which was only 1130) would mistier in
this respect for 1,000 sheep in the course of a year;
so that all the advantages that cdtild be derived from ,
this recipe were to, be obtained at the rate of 6J. or
7.1. per sheep. Could any man say that the price of
salt, or the dearness occasioned by the duty on it,
prevented its tile in the cure of sheep ? Weil, then,
as to its utility as manure—here it was Said a bushel
to pn acre would suffice for the experiment—(.6 No,"
from Mr. Cteroueen). Suppose the!. three bushels were
necessary, even at the present ptice, that.would be
found the cheapest way of going to work. It was,
therefore, evident, that the dearness of the article did
not prevent its use on such occasions. If then, it did
not prevent its use, would the House, in the present
financial state of the country, cut off W 1,500,000 of
revenue, and without the proposition of any subrti-
tute whatever? And here he thought it was locum-
b?nt on the man proposing the repeal of a tax' such
as the present, to shew some probable means of filling
up the blank ; for be it remembered, that this is not
A tax about to expire, or one, the renewal of which is
about to be proposed by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, but it is an old tax, in lull force, and there-
fore dtff.rently situated. In this view of the subject
he could nut certainly consent to the abolitiqn of so
efficient a source of the public revenue ; and the House
would do well to pause and consider the matter well
before they countenanced such a proposition.
Mr. WILLIAM SMI Ili concurred in the last
sentence that had fallen from the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman who had last spoken, though it led him (Mr.
Smith) to a very different conclusion ; for he would
vote for a Committee, for the purpose of considering ,
the matter well, and the Right Hon. Gentleman
would resist such a course, though it WAS the only 1
one open for the calm consideration which lie v.erntti
to invite. All his Hon. Friend (Mr. Cal:Jolt) asked,
was, that they should ge into a Committee, to com-
pare the assertions made on the one side and the ,
other—io probe them point by point—and loin' a
fair and rational view of the arf,umenta at each side,
ito come to a jest conclusion on the general question. 1
This could only be done in a Coalmine:. and there I
alone could the assertions of the agriculturists, the 1
case of the fisheries, and other points, be minutely dis• I
cussed and decided. If they went into the Commit-1
tee on this subject they would, he was convinced, I
come to the same decision that characterised th 2 pro-,
ceedings of former Committees—namely, a recom. 1
mendation of the repeal of the tax—a reconemenda- 1
tion never defeated except in a genera; loose debate 1
its-that House. 'f he Right Hon. Gentleman oppo-
site (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) belonged to',
a 'Committee, and was, he believed, the framer of a
Report that recommended ' this repeal. He (Mr.
Smith) was of opinion, that if the tax were abolished,:
no eventual loss of revenue would be felt ; but, even
if it were, that was nothing t 6 set against the univer-
sal inconvenience felt by the continu ince of the
duties. It was ridiculous to say, that the price per
bushel was low enough to indpce the agriculturist to
make the experiment with sal( in manure. The con-
trary was the tact. The farmer would not run the
risk of trying one, two, or three bushels, at a duty of
15s. on each. The Right Hon. Gentleman (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) had said, that no grie-
vance existed, because no petitions for the repeal had
emanated from those concerned in the fisheries, &c..
There were two reasons why no petitions had been.
sent from such a quarter t—the first was, that the
fishermen knew welt no repeal would take place by
merely sending up petitions I they felt, that it never
would be conceded unless through the medium of
Government. And, secondly, it was a notorious tact,
that all heal/ duties threw the trade affected by',
them into the handsel a tew—a monopoly was there- '
by insured, and the parties were, of course, anxious
to maintain it. Those now concerned had, doubtless,
found out the means of securing illicit profits, from
the privilege of working salt, duty free ; for, with 1
all the restriction; there were many ways by which
the parties could indemnify themselves by a system i
of evission. But when the Right Hon. Gentleman I
said there were ne petitions, did he not know that there
were many memorials preseoted to the Treasury, con-'
vrying complaintaof the operation of these duties f
WhY was this fact coacealed?—(Hear, hear).—The I
Right Honourable Gentleman had said, that if the
House entered into the inquiry, during the progress
of the investigation, the collection of the existing du-
ties would be impeded, and the revenue substantially
injured. He (Mr. Smith) could not see how this
could happ2n, Arco hislionourable Friend's motion
Only.calted for an inquiry, net a repe,l7--and when
it was understood that even if they entered upon this
inquiry, nothing would be definitively arranged du-
/ ring the present year. Trade would, therefore, in
the interim flow through its accustomed channels.—
'The Honourable Gentleman also pointed out the in-
conveniences to which the Farmer would be exposed,
if he was obliged to bring his salt to a given spot to
!lave it mixed up according to the plan which had
been talky! of, to exempt at from duty. The benefit
to the country at large would be great, if the duties
were at once repealed, for they had this peculiar
hardship—that they fell With a fortyfold weight on,
theyoor, in comparison with their operation on the
other classes of the COMM unity. He would, therefore,
give bis vote for the appointmeitt of a Committee.
Lord EBRINGTON coneurred in the motion,
from a conviction that the duties in question had an
important operation on the means of subsiitetice of 's
great part cit the Community. He should go into
the Committee in the hope of getting rid cf a great
portion of the present duties on salt. The experi.
ment was ceitainly worth making, and would be

(Hear, hear). —Their course of proceeding WAS dif-
!trent on the question terpecting the Leather Trade,
for there they went ism the Committee, obtained VA-
lunble information, and redressed some of the then
existing abuses. All that wee at present called for
was, the sort of inquiry to which Parliament always
resuited on similar occasions, and un which they had
already made a Report, which on a former occesion
met with the sanction of the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), who now,
it appeared, turned round and took from his pucket A

came a convert to its reasoning. Now, what was
that reasoning ? Why it. was, plein terms; this, o We

the Right Honourable Gentleman must ranssck the
Treasury Bureau, have presented to the House. at
the same time, the memosials that it was stated had
been transmitted for the repeal rf the Tex ? His
conduct would have been then somewhat open and
correct. The Right Honourable Gentleman has said
that there was no Petition presented against the Salt
Dirties. Yes, there were, and they would be found
on the table of the House, and memorialseo the same
effect were said to have been pilei up in the Trea-
sury. The contrariety of sentiment among the
fishery persons and agriculturists tip Para th s abject was,
so far from being a 'pound of opposiion to going,
into a Committee, the strongest reason in the world
for going into it; for there alone could the truth be
ascettained between all parties—(tieer, Aral, hear.)
—The Right Hon Gentleman et the herd of the
Board of Trade (Mr. Robinson) had said, that the
effect of salt as a manure was doubtlul among agri-
tultatists. He (Sir John Newport) would only say,
without pretending to much knowledge on such a
subject, that he knew a part of a 'lawn near his ewa
residence, where, twenty-five years ago, salt had been
strewed, and the grass groon on that spot wes hive.
riably cousumed by the sheep, while they would net
touch a blede of that on the Adjoining spat, which was
not so manured. This WAS a fact within his own
knowledge ; and although the ground had not been
turned up since the period to Which he alluded, the
same distinction was, to the present hour, observable
in its qUelity. It his Itlajeste, Government would
fairly consider this question, they would do mere for
I the Country than they could possibly accomplish by
any issue of Exchequer Bills—in the one case they
would be administering permanent relief. and in the
other but tenworary. He would implore Ahem to
pursue the wiser course, and not attempt to prop up
a system that was in itself radically wro ige by any
paltry or temper exped eat. (Cries of Hear, hear.)
11 the House did not fully exemiee this question, it
would.nut perform its duty to the public. Let it at
least chew an inclination to enter upon an examina-
tion, or do any thing but rejecte in liming., an inquiry
which all must conscientiously feel to be necessary.
It was nut by pulling from one's poCket a memorial
of a party interested in upholding a monopoly, that
the continuance of an oppressive tax could be made'
palatable to the people—it was not by an issue of
Exchequer Bills to certain Corporations or Associa-.
tions that the situation of the country could be ame-
liorated. No; such means would never reach tire
object—it could only be reached by abridging the
public expenditure, by cutting down the establish-
ments of the country to their proper station, by
probing the whole system of the national expense to
the bottom, and making it demonstratively plain to
the people at large that Parliament had not counte-
nanced the issue of one penny beyond what was
called for by the actual exigencies of the State—
(Cries of Hear, hear). •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
begged to give a few words in ezpl 'nation. Since
Ice had been at the Treasury Board no memotiel
had been received for a tercel of this Tax; and
though Petitions had been presented praying for an
inquiry into these duties, there had not been any for
its total repeal.
Mr. ROBINSON explained that he never meant
to discourage the use of Salt as mennre—all lie
meant. to convey was, that the present price could
not prevent its use; as, if it really were an object, it
was still cheaper than any other article that could be
used for the purpose.
Mr. ROSE was of opinion that a substitute should
. be named before they could enter upon so serious a
consideration as the abolition of a revenue ie
‘1,510,000 a year. It was no valid objection to the
Salt Tax to say, that it particularly fell on the poorer
classes—so did every generally productive tat. What
information could they get in a Committee that they
had not alreitcly ? It was impossible, after the re-
peated diseUssions of this subject, that they could I,ope
to elicit ;fresh matter in a Committee. The evil of
these sort of inquiries WAS
.this :—that during their
operation the revenue became seriously injured from
the *doubts that overhung the •speculatinns of thos-
whose intereets were to be in the end affected by the,
consideration. So it was in this very case. The de
' fal.cation in the Past quarter's return of revenue was
,480,000, and .the manufacturers did not coeccal the
cause of it; they did not hesitate to say, that they
could not work freely, lentil the subject was brought
to a, final issue OfIC way or another. Here WAS the
mice:tits tax subsisting iu its present state fur 12 years,
and itow.it was proposed to shake it off, without any
suggestion for supplying the great deficit that would
be thus occasioned in the revenue of the country.
Here the Right. 'Hon. Gentleman declared, that
frir. Pict's seaturoonts telative to these laws had been

I incorrectly stated i that great gtaleiMait Wei PAW
Iso sanguine an adirricate for their repeal is he had
ISien represented. He Also denied the benef:r that it
was imagined would mite to the igriailltural classes
by this repeal. In Ireland the duty i.n salt WAS by
1M means what it was here, and was it ever iliecl it;
that country for agricultural purposes? (64 Often,"
. from Sir Irvin Mcuport.) Well, he (fir. Rose) never
heard so. Tnete was no duty on it in the Isle of
Min, and the farmers there never used it ; nor when
the tax was repe ;led at England, was it ever used for
agricultural purposes. The fisheries were also gene.
rally indifferent about i•--IT knew the Deep Sea Com-
pany (the only natama! one) 117 IS. As to the opera•
tion of the tax upon t;:e poor generally. it was greatly
exaggerated ; f‘r he enderatood that the ordinary.
consumption of salt by a man, his wife, and three
children, amounted to no more than twenty-cight
sir twenty-nine pounds in a year.
S r THOMAS ACLAND warmly enforced the
necessity of going into a Crirnmittee on this sub;ect,
as they weicall agree'_, that if a substitts e could be
found, the t* °ilea to be repealed-. It wit tutalt
fraught wit 't Verity—it found its way into the hum-

of price, trifling as it appeared, was dteilise in its
operation. The sari e opinion of the Pitt- 14,n:our-
