Mr. GRRNFELLandersteed it lobe intended that the
adjourned debate should cease on early in the evening.
He wished to know wh►ther it was intended to proceed
with the Naval and Military Pensions Bill, as he intend-
ed to oppose one clause—that which granted the Bank a
per eentage on the management of the loans.
Mr. IaUSHINGTON said, it was not intended to bring
on the Bill last night. In answer to a question from
Mr. (Irenfell, the lion. Gentleman added, that no altera-
tion of the sum heretofore allowed to the Bank fur ma-
naging a loan (3(Ntf. per million) was contemplated at

TOBACCO.

Lord BELORAVE presented a petition from certain
respectable persons connected with the tobacco manu-
factory at Chester. complaiain of the distressed state
of their trade. This they imputed to the increased ex-
tent to which sienggliag was carried on, in conseisencr
of the article being so heavily taxed. The petitioners
stated that they themselves could. bay it for less, ready
mannfactured, than it would reit them to manuf.icture
it. lithe Chancellor of the Exchequer were to reduce
the duty, which was now four shillings the pound. to
two shillings, be 'hewed, from a series of calculations,
that the revenue, instead of suffering, would be likely to
gain 25,0001. in consequence of the check which would
thus be supplied to smuggling.
Mr. H. BRIOHT spoke to the extent of the evil, and
supported the prayer of the petition, end described the
arrangements made in Holland for smuggling. A most
extrusive establisheseet was now kept op to prevent
smuggling. Heretofore it had been bail. Ile hoped its
defects had now been corrected ; but he was sere that
the best way of checking the evil was to diminish the
duty, so that smuggling should no longer present each
tempting profits to those who were disposed to cigar
in it.

PETITION PROM NORTEANPTON.
Lord ALTHORPE had a Petition to present from the
Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of North-
ampton, and thought it right to state some circum-
stances connected with the Meeting at which it had been
voted. A Requisition signed by four hundred and thir-
teen individuals bad been presented to the High Sheriff,
requesting him to call a Meeting of the Nobility, Oro•
try, and others. The High Sheriff had refused to com-
ply with their wish. It. (Lord Althorpe) had the ho-
nour to know that Gentleman, and was sure that he had
acted from so bad motive, bat he thought in this in-
stance he bad not exercised a wind discretion. The
Petitioners complained of Agricultural Distress, arising
from excessive taxation. They declared it would be im-
r possible for them to continue to cultivate their land un-
less relief were afforded. They therefore prayed fur a
repeal of taxes to sods an animist, u should enable thews,
to coldest* their land and exercise their industry as for-
I nicely, and they expressed an opinion that the country
would sot have bees I. the situation in which it was at
1 this mutest, bad the people been adequately represent-
ed
in that house. He agreed with every word contained
in the Petition. which had been signed by six or 700
freeholders, and thought it entitled to their serious
consideratims.

Sir J. NEWPORT had endeavoured over and ore►
again to impress upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that smuggling cosh' only be effectually repressed ►f
diminishing the duty. He corroborated tbestateewnt of
the Hoe. Uentletnan who had jest sat down, with re-
spfti to the susuggliog establishments formed by the
Hatch. He was confident that if the Chancellor of the Es-
chapter looked into the subject. uninfluenced by the re-
presentationsof those who were interested in supporting
the present system, that he woulti see t►e beet polite
would be to reduce the duty ; and doing that, he had no
doubt be would incr►ase the revenue.
Mr. H. GURNEY supported the prayer of the pe•'
tition.

Mr. LUSHINGTON said. Gentlemen had *pekes as
if smuggling had largely increased. and as if the reve-
nue were on the declioe. Both these km he denied.—
Sing,Hug had decreased; and to peon that the rev..
ooe had not declined. he had only to refer to the se-
coasts which were on the table of the house. With re-
sp►ct to Ireland, the Jul oo tobacco had considergbly
irtcreased in the course of the last nine months.

Mr. CARTWRIGHT remarked, the case bad been so
fairly stated by the Noble Lord that he had no occasion
to say much. He was decidedly of opinion that Mi-
nisters ought to make every retrenchment in their power,
consistent with the dignity of the State and good faith
towards the public creditor. It was true that the bur-
dens throw* on the country by the late necessary war
Were great. but he was afraid, though taxes to the *moo et
of 4,0110,000 f. were taken off in the coarse of the present
Session, that eves this would afford the sufferers but lit-
tle relief. He was not surprised to find that between six
awl seven hundred freeholders bad signed this Petition,
as it bad been sent all over the county for signatures.—
After all the Petition was only that of the individuals
who bad signed it, and considering the efforts that had
bees made, it was remarkable that but six or seven hun-
dred freeholders had signed it out of four thousand,
which the county contained. He wished now to sa
word or two with respect to the conduct of the
Sheriff. The Noble Lord had done justice to that
deusna's upright Intentions. If there were any
free from party motives, it was the High Sheriff. o
farmers, person; certainly of great respectability, had
railed on the High Sheriff with tb • requisition. Oa
looking over it, he perceived that it was sot signed by a
Giggle Gentleman of the comity. He, therefore, declined
calling the Meeting; but said, if they would bring biw

Lord BELGRAVE inquired if he would go back with

The CHANCELOR of t►e EXCHEQUER admitted
that in NOUN instancee the defy imposed might hold oat
a temptation to smuggling; bat he was far from think-
ing that the repeal of the ditty would give to the revenue
in increased cosamption that which it would lose by
such repeal.
The petition was then brought np and read, and or-
dered to be printed.
Mr. (lOULIIURN postponed his motion for leave to

the public saw a declaration of that Hater. which they
had just now heard read, that there was no depreciation
whatever.—(Hear.)—This was constantly asserted by
Lord Liverpool, Lord Eldon, the Noble Lord oppnsitr,
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. These were the
names that ought to be sent forth to the people in con-
nexion frith the calamities they now endured, until they
were familiar in men's mouths like household words.—
The Right Hon. Gent. opposite had stated correctly the
fact of the alteration of the currency in the reign of
William the Third, but he ought to have looked to the
circumstances of the times under which that altera-
tion was effected. The fart was that the Crown at
that time was tottering on the brow of its wearer, (mei
the effects of the most detestable Tory faction that ever
existed. The taxes which then pressed arse the people
were as nothing compared to these which were now
paid. The interest of the debt at the present time, anJ
the cameo expenses of one year, were greater than
the sum extracted from the people daring the whole of
the glorious reign of William 111. The Hon. Gentle-
man proceeded to condemn in strong language those
who supported the suspension of cash payments in 1797.
He considered the tl3 millions which had hose mu. it
by the Hank Directors to have been so mach pillaged
from the countryby the Government and the Parliament
which entrusted such powers to them as the administra-
tion of the currency. With regard to those who bait
supported Ministers throughout the extravagant war—
be did not think himself more hard-hearted thee other
men—bet he should not be sorry to see those who striv-
ed into die House Country Gentlemen, now feel the
consequences of their conduct fall upon themselves spa
crawl out panpen.—(.l laugh.) He should support the
, because he knew not which way to turn to tr.
lieve himself from the distress and confusion with
which he was surrounded, and because be thought in-
vestigation might lead them to some course from which
such relief might he discovered.

but

Mr: Alderman HRYOATE contended that the motion
of the Hon. Member would not pledge the house to any
particular course of proceeding. He considered that the
owners of 1819 was passed with a precipitous baste
which was incompatible with the difficulty and impor-
tance of the subject. He should therefore vote for going
into a committee to see how far they &night mitigate the
evils which had arisen. He thought the present time
to be most favourable to sack a -re-esinsideration, and
they were boned to afford all the relief in their power
which was safe and consistent with the public good. Ile
condemned the conduct of those who were entrusted
with the execution of the , in departing from
the plan of the lion. Member for Portarlington, of pay-
ing in gold bars. That plan, if it had bees adopted to
practice as well as in theory, would have rendered the
change more gradual, and consequently less violent its
its effects. He thought considerable advantage would
have arisen to the country if the house had not content-
ed itself with adopting the resolution alone, and then
posing by the practical measure. In voting fur the
motion, he certainly did not menu to say that they
uoght to return to an immediate lune of paper currency,
nor did he mean to support any dishonest or fraudulent
debasement of the currency of the realm. It was tow
apparent that there was a general feeling of 'seemliness
upon this question. It appeared by the numerous peti-
, thins upon the table, that the people attributed their
unsettled state in a great measure to this cause, and he
thought the house would not be doing its duty in re-
fusing investigation. Ile considered that they had, for
the last few years been under the dominion of philoso-
phers, whose visionary and theoretical propositions had
bewildered all practical men, and it was under the in-
animus of
this
clamour that theme had been ear-
rigid against the common sense of the people and of Par-
liament. H: disclai.ned all personal feeling whatever its
