Sir 11. W. RI DLRY thought the takiag of of • tax
would be as beneficial if proposed by any Member, as it
west, be if proposed by the Right Hots. Gentleman.—
The tat ea salt would have a considerable effect en these
engaged is the manufacturing of glass bottles. They
woold hive to pay 51. a too for their alkali, leaved of
Ale. ea heretofore.
Sir HUSSt!i VIVIAN said, be thought a Mal re-1
peal of the tax was most desirable ; but be had no wish
ti disturb the general satisfaction which prevailed is
the House when the Right Hon. Gent. brought the sale-
jest forward; and he hail therefore abstained from re-
marking epee it.
Mr. BRIGHT spoke is favour of the total repoiL—
He was satisfied the repeal would not affect the Rowe-
Imo ; and he therefore hoped the Hon. Member, (Mr.
D. Gilbert), would be induced to vote for the repeal,
even though it should be proposed from his (Sir. IL's)
We of the House.
Lord A. HAMILTON said, that when the (MU CM.
regularly before the •Isouse, he should be prepared to
thew the affect of the Tax upon Scotland. Ho under.
stood that that part of the country was not to be be-
oefitted by the repeal, thouali it would is it. wow
qnences be injurious to Scotland. He looked at the ques-
tion as one effecting the general welfare of the empire.
—(Hear, hear.)
TheCHANCELLOR of the RXCHEQUER said, it
was his intention to propose a clause exempting Scotch
salt from the duty. At the Tax would fall heavily
open Ireland, he purposed also proposing a measure fir
the relief of that part of the kingdom. Upon the question
respecting the fisherits, he confessed he bad not yet been
able to maim up his mind. It was an important sebjeet ;
and he was not vet prepared to give ape° coosiderable a
portion of the Revenue as that arising from Salt eon-
slanted in the fisheries. He thought, however, that these
points of detail should be reserved until the vacation
came before the hoes* in a regular shape.
Mr. CALCRAFT agreed that the diseassios should
net be anticipated ; but it was an advantage for the Rt.
Hon. Gentleman to hear the sentiments of those whose
local situations gave them opportunities of jodgiagof the
effect of the Tax. It was evident that the more the Right
Hon. Gentleman proceeded in his measure, retaining a
part of the duties, Ike more he was surrounded by di&
caltv. The retentloh of the Tax was in fact patting a
new Tax upon another class of the people. It would be
bettor to give up the paltry remnant of the Tax; and he
trusted the Right Hon. tleatleman would nail' himself
the credit of doing so before the end of the Session. He
(Mr. C.) understood from the Salt Shippers of Liverpool,
that it woald be impossible for them to collect their
debts from the retail dealers if the Tax were retained.

Mr. HUME said the bleachers. who were mach In-
terested in this tax, would not be able to carryon their
trade, if the tax were continued in the shape proposed by
the Right Hon. Gemalemen.
Mr. WODBHOUSE said that the present tax was in all
respects a new tax. He implored the Right Hon.
Gent. to remit the tax altogether, end!be might be assured
that his doing so woeld be considered the most accept-
able boon he could offer to the people.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said the reeinaut of the
tax would operate as se addidonal burden upon Ire-
land.
Mr. PARIMILIG/IT suggested &lathe repeal
Liisiter Tax should ese suspended for the present. a
that the whole of the Salt Tax should be taken of
Mr. C. HUTCHINSON assured the Right Hoooara-
hie Gentleman he had received communications from Ire-
land expressing the greatest alarm at the tax as it was
now proposed to retain it. He trusted the Right Hon.
Oeetleman would give it up.
Sir I. COFFIN said, the fishermen would by this tax
be deprived of the means of living altogether. He hoped
the Right Hon. Gentleman mould not forget that the fish-
eries were the nurseries for British seamen, who had
se often deserved and received the thanks of the
country.
Mr. CURWEN trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman
would not persevere and force the house to compel him
to give up the tax.
Mr. W. SMITH said, that the fisheries bad long been
a losing trade in consequence of the heavy pressure of
this tax. The proposed drawback on exportation would
be of no assistance to them, for they could not defray the
expence attending the tax u it affected home con-
sumption.
Mr. T. WILSON was notone of those who thought the
salt tax should be wholly taken off, unless measures were
suggested for making op the deficiency in the revenue
which such a measure would occasion. _ _ _
