In the House of Peers last night Lord. LmaPoox.
stated unequivocally, that Government have resolved
not to give countenance to any motion for equalizing
the Duty on Coals. This is what might have been
expected from the manner in which this important
question was brought forward. Those who felt them-
selves aggrieved by the tax, (and aggrieved they are
to an enormous extent,) instead of praying to be them- ,
selves fired from a partial tax, and unjust, because
partial, prayed Parliament to lay the tax, on others
who are now exempted. Was it not to be expected
that the very surface of such a proposition would
create enemies to the measure?

In the Commons Sir ALEXANDER HOPE'S Motion
to retain the former number of six Ralyal Equerries
on the Windsor Establishment instead of four, as re-
commended by the Committee, met with its merited
fate—a Rejection by a large Majority.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a Committee
on the Ina lvent Debtors' Act. We were pleased by
seeing the manner in which. this proposition was re-
ceived by the House; and we think we may now rest
satisfied that distressed debtors will never more be
left in this country at the mercy of the merciless,
without the shield of the law to protect them.
Let the Law be improved to defeat the objects of the
fraudulent, and make all his property forthcoming to
his creditors. The Law wants extension, instead of
annihilation. When a person is confined for debt, it
should not be left at his option to lie in jail and live
on his creditor's property; he should be put in the
state of a Bankrupt, and compelled to surrender on
pain of felony.
