hail been to encourage this great source of national
wealth and !lower. When the House heard the peti.
tion real, they would see that it was dictated in terms
the most moderate; and that it contained no exagge-
rated statement, would he evident to any person who
should take the trouble to go down to Yorkshire, and
there witness the distress awl misery under which the
manufacturers were suffering. It mast then be evi-
dent. that a tax of this kind laid on the raw material,
must have been an act of imprudence, folly, a'ul
cruelty. This had been stated to be a measure of re-
venue; but he contended that as a revenue it had
completely failed, because it hail th • etfeet of excluding
from the country a great portion of those articles of
importation on which taxes hail been raised; and very
lately a moat important contract bad been lost to Sig
country in conseqwence of the tax for a proposal had
been made to our cloth-workers to clothe a great part
of the Russian army, hat they were tinder the necessity
of declining the contract, on account of the impossi-
bility of supplying the article at the price proposed to
he given. The tax, so far from benefiting, did an in-
jury to the wool-growers, because, on account of the
diminution of the manufacturers, wool was now a mere
drug in their hands; while the tax was completely
impotent in the way of revenue. The woollen menu-
, factures of the West Riding of Yorkshire, were last
year diminished by one-sixth of their former amount.
Therefore, the removal of the tax was a matter of ne-1
.
cesuty, even for the protection of the wool-growers.,
His Lordship then presented the petition : it was from
the woollen manufacturers of Leeds and its neighbour-
hood ; it stated the severe hardships under which the
petitioners laboured in eonsoquence of nut bring able
to obtain a sale for their commodities, owing to the tax
on the raw material, which enhanced its price; and
prayed that the tax might be repealed.
The CIIINCELWR of the It XCIIEQICRIt ap-
peared to us to say, so far as we could catch some of
his words (for he spoke in his usual lou tone of voice),
that the tax on wool hail not yet been fairly tried ; for
a part of it did not conic into operation until last
Ik-
tuber, and another part not until January last; and
therefore, as a measure of revenue, it had not failed.
Besides, therm was a great supply of foreign wool in
the market.

regulating the office of Clerk of the Peace in Ireland.
—Leave was given.
Mr. HUMP. rose to move for several accounts re-
lapecting public expenditures,to which the Right Non.
Gentleman opposite could nut make the same ohjectiou
which he did to the motion of the Hon. 11..ronet. The
House must be anxious to obtain some information
respecting the income of his late Majesty on the re-
served revenues, as well as the Civil List. The ex-
penditure up to the year 1815, was before the House;
and he waned to know what was the expenditure from
that time to the sth of January, 1820. He should
move fur the whole of these accounts, stating those .if
each year, and that the accounts of the last year
should give a total detail of the whole of the state-
ments. Mince the year 1786, when the expenditure
of the year was placed in classes, many alterations hatl
taken place, by transferring various sums from one
head to another: and if the various items were looked
at, it woui.l be (Amerced, that there were good grounds
for altering the arrangements as they now existed ;
and which made it difficult to understand the nature,
or amount of the different items of expenditure. It was
necessary then to have the details of all the hese.
The salaries of several public officers were paid out of
different funds, one receiving a certain portion of his
salary out of one fund, and the remainder out of sass-
ther whereas each salary should-he paid out of one
distinct fond. In consequence of this anonra!y, it was
scarcely possible for any one clearly to understan I
how the salaries were paid. As the House ought not
to he kept in it upon this subject, he hoped
the Right Hon. tientlesnan would not oppose the pro•
(faction of the papers he should move for. Ilia tikes t
was, first, that there should be laid before the House
an account, showing the sums paid for each class.
it was intended to give aoy information to the House.
it would be impossible to refuse this return, for it
would be found that the estimate of 1756 had been
departed from, and that great confusion had been the
consequence. The House, besides, ought to know
whether the establishment fixed by the Act of tits.
56th year of the late Kin,. was strictly adhered to.
He believed it would he found, that in many items tlo
average amount had been greatly increased. Nothin.;
then could satisfy the House but having these returns
given in detail. His second resolntion would he, fer
a Return of the amount of Payments mask under th,
bead of Civil Contingencies. '1 hos would the Hsott,e
be able to bring up the whole to the sth of January,
1820. The third resolution would be, for an Abstract
of the Accounts in totals, from January, 1815, to
January, 1820. He concluded with moving for an
Account in totals of the Sums paid for each °lrks whit
respect to the Civil List, from the sth of January,
1815, to the sth of January, 1820, stating in detail
the sums of the last year, accompanied by a statement
of all the outstanding claims on the Civil List that
were still unsatisfied.

W.s:ern part of the Metropolis audits Vicinity, held 31st
April. It itt
JOSEPH BUTTERWORTH. Esq. M.P. in the ('hair.
The follow iug }Levitt was made by the Secretary, and
adopted by the Committee :
I. That by elate Return of Numbers in the Schools under
the manaerment of this S.:ci:•ty. there :were three thousand
ue hundred and fifty-two Children, besides a number of
Adult Persous, receiving Instruction on the Sabbath-day ;
wl.ielt Schools are situated in poor and populous neighbour-
hoods. viz. Oeorge-yard. Drury-lane; Peter-street. Soho;
George-yard, Crown-street. St. tiiles's Hintie-street. M ary-
le-bone ; Old I.ord's Cricket-ground, Paddington; Maiden-
lair. Rattle-bridge; George-street, Chelsea. and King's-
rwd, ditto Horse-ferry-road. Westminster ; and Min-
ified, Lambeth ; and that these School's since their iamb-
Ildieint hate afforded Instructien, more or less, to upwards
of twenty-ti i a thousand Children.
i. That notwithstanding the ember of Children in these ,
sad the various other Charity Schools In the Metropolis, it
has been ascertained that there are still many thousands who
attend no School whatever; whose Parents continually ab-
sent thems..ltes from places of public worship ; and WV-
ierent to their Children s improvement, leave them to grow
up in otter ignorance of all moral and religious duties, and 1
lathe degrading habits of vice and depravity. These lamen-
:bit facts sic folly confirmed by the minutes of evidence
caret before the Select Committee of the llonseof Commons,
rppointcd to inquire into the Education of the Lower Orders
in the Metropolis, and also by an estensiv .• inquiry recently,
snide from house to house, by which it has been ascertained,
tier Ilinativelk toadied and eighty-one feallieela the neigh-
N-Airlgood of the Seven-dials and Drurv-lane only, theft are
eleven hundred and twenty Children, from :he sgq of five to
fourteen, who cannot read, and thirteen hundred and Any-
one who do not attend any school whatever. Mee', Children
of poor Irish families have no other means of Instruction
Into from Sunday Schools.
3. That the affecting increase of juvenile offenders of late
y ars, has been ascertained to originate chiefly in the want
of Mut:alio') and moral instruction.

After a few words from Lord MILTON, the petition
was received, and ordered to lie on the table.
New Poe r-Orrtcc.—M r. It. tiOII,DON said, that
preparatory to the motion he had to make, he thought
it necessary to state, that he had always been hostile
to the plan of applying any of the looney belonging
to the Orphans' rand of the City of London, to the
purpose of defraying the eveuse of any aastssudaLisa
building. Such application, however had been made,
in the instance to which lie now alluded ; and he,
therefore, moved that there he laid before the !louse
an account of the progress already made in the build-
ing of the New Post-olfict ; the snots already expended
upon, it, and of the estimates that had been made of the
ex Lenses.—( kilered.

The CHANCHLIPR of the EXCHF.QUEII said,
that the Art of 1816, with regard to the Civil List,
had conclusively arranged the appropriations of th •
various items of the Civil List. If the Houom ah.e
Member ima:ined that this Art had been violated i:t
any particular, it was for him to show it. Hut unless
some such violation were intended to be exposed, the
account would prove perfectly nugatory. The ar-
rangement of the items of the Civil List were ere. 'e I
by the Act after due deliberation and diet-union. The
lion. Gentleman and the House might be certain that
no excess of expenditure, over the amount settied he
the legislative arrangement bad taken place. The
Hight lion. Gentleman then moved, as au amendtu-nt,
the previous question.
Mr. HUME challenged the Hight Hon. Genth m
to point oat any one account where the items a Vie
Civil List were to be found. The Hight Hi n. -
man wuul.l remember, that the Act of 1816 had teen
at several times altered since. Nor was it an unusual
thing for Ministers to propose the violation of Acts t t
Parliament. Firmly convinced that the House haa
a night to hare before them the whole of the items of
th • Civil List, he trusted that they would assist hint
in an attempt to procure the suems of his motion.
Mr. HCSKISSON thought that it was entirely a
new de-trine to maintain that the House had a right
to call un the Crown for an account of the expeniii-
tare of the Civil List. He had the authority of Mr.
Fox for saying, that unless upon occasions when the
Crown cause to Parliament for its assistance in some
modification of the Civil List, it was not allowed In
Parliament to call f au account of the expenditure f
that department.- -(Hear!)—The Hon. Newt...
told, that the sum fixed by the arrangement of 1t 16
had not been exceeded in any year sii.ce that time.
It was at that time provided, that if there had be:n
any ex..sns of expenditure over the estimates, to Ow
amount of 16,00 W., then that the subject would be
brought before Parliament. If, then, there was rt.,-
thing demanded of Parliament, it was a proof that
t:,ere bad been no excess, and this being the case, it
could not be proper to call for any account. It ap-
pearing, therefore, that the arrangement for the Civil
List now was the same as that contained in the Act
of 1816, the Hon. Gentleman would find all the infor-
mation he could expect in the details of that Act.
Mr. TIERNF.Y admitted, that the usuage as to the
occasion of calling for an Amman% of the Civil List ex-
penditure, was as the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated
it to be. Hat his 'peels was certainly an extraordi-
nary one. The Hight Hon...lead/Inman spoke as if the
Civil list had been in existen..e, whet-sae they were
then ildled upon to form a Civil List. Heave his
Friend (Mr. Hume) sought for information that :se-
peered to him necessary. When a message from his
Majesty stated, that he would be content to take the
arrange- meats of labs fur placing at the di/tonal of
the House the hereditary revenue of the Cretin, the
question nu, was this a proper arrangesn.nt to. he
made. His Hon. Friend wished to have very Ms.
i.ortant piece of whett,

Ltrr.--.-Sir H. PARNELL said, he rose to
move roe certain papers relative to the Civil List, and
the expenses attending the Civil Governma nt of the
country. Hi., object was, that the House should
know what was the nature of the Civil List in the year
and what additions had been made to it, and
what charges hail been made upon it since that time.
It was only by documents of this kind that the House
could comprehend the subject. It was also necessary
to know, what progress halal been made in the here-
ditary revenue of the Crown. The iiiii important
thing, however, of all, would he, to know what was
the expense of supporting the Civil Government, for
0.4 expense was not paid out of the Civil List, as
some persons might suppose. The expense of the Civil
Government was little short of tau milli a-year.
It wonld he nee aaaaa y also to know, what were the
expenses of managing the hereditary revenues. Great
reductions, it was said, might he made in these ; and
in order that a correct judgment might be farmed ou
that point, he should move for accounts of carious
offices anal expenses attached to those revenues--such
as fines, fee-farm rents, woods and forest.; alienations-,
&c. lie should also propose, that there be laid before
the House an Account of certain Emoluments attached
to the Duchy of Lancaster, as well as all the expenses
relating to it. 'the Hon. Baronet concluded with
moving for the several accounts to which he alluded.
The first was for an account of the several additions
made by his late 3lajcsty to the livil List, ant of the
charges taken from it and transferred to either funds.

4. That considerable improvement has been made in the
minds and morals of many of the Children, by the instrie-
lion in the Schools of this Society, fort long series of years;
er;4 that ne,perous instances have occurred in which the pa-
rents and outer parts ofthe families, have also derived great
byneff: by means of the Children attending these Schools.
6. That teeny of the Teachers in the different Schools have
exerted themselves to aid the funds of the Society, and have
manifested an earnest desire to increase their laboureand to
persuade their friends to unite their services. if an extended
number of Schools could be °pelted fur the Poor:-
0+ which the ('ommittee resolved ;
1. Tint is highly desirable to extend the benefits of this
Society, and that the Committee world open more Schools.
protided they could be furnished with the means of defray-
kg the expense attending the same.
2. That the instruction afforded by this Society Is espe-
cially calculated to counteract that moral poison which has
of tate bees diffused to an alarming degree, by the eircula-
ti, a of biasphemous and seditious plibileations amongst the
lower classes; inasmuch as the Children educated in these
Schools are assiduously taneht to reverence the sacred
Scripture. snd to regulate their conduct by Its divine precepts.
3. That the plan of employing none but gratuitous Teach-
er+. Secretaries, and Visitors, be strictly adhered to by this
lt()-levy, as the best means of securing attachment between
the Teachers sad Children, and of promoting the interests of
the Schools.
4. That as the funds of the Society are inadequate to the
present expenses of School Rents, Books, Repairs, and other
incidents) charges, and the Treasurer being already in ad-
vance nearly 213.11.. that an appeal be made to the Public in
behalf et this Society ; and as such numbers of Children are
perishing for lack of knowledge, filet benevolent persons be
respeetfully end earnestly requested to contribute their as-
sistance to this most simple and effectual method of convey-
tag morel and religions instruction to the Children of the
Poor. by teschiag them to read the Holy Scriptures.

The CHANCELIAtIt of the EXCHEQUER con-
ceived the accounts moved for by the lion. Baronet to
be wholly unnecessary, because they I.hochl be all laid
before the Mouse along with the genera: accounts of
the expenditure of the year. The Committee ap-
pointed to consider the Civil List in It+ 111, had made
a report, which contained a great part of the informa-
tion now sunght for; the Hon. lloeunet might see that
report; and any Gentleman might move that it be re-
printed. He could not agree to the Hon. Baronet's
motion, and should more the previous queition.
Mr. TIERNEY said, if his Hon. Fiend waived his
motion, he should not be understood as giving up the
right to move for the accounts in question, whenever
be should deem it necessary.
Mr. CALCRAPT observed, that as th-• Chancellor
of the Exchequer had no objection to the re-printing
of the report of 11116, it would be proper to make a
motion to that effee.
