The London Courier, of the s1st Of
May. states that very important mea-
sure was proposed in the house of Com
mons the preceding night, the consolida-
ton Of the English and Irish Exche
quers or, in other words the union of
the debts and revenues of the two coun-
tries. This is the greatest step left yet
untaken in uniting Ireland to Great Bri-
tain. When tie union of the two coun-
tries was enacted, this measure, it was
proposed, should take place in twenty
years but now it is proposed, at the
end of sixteen, as a proceeding favorable
to ireland exclusively. Lord Castle
reagh truly stated, that when the union
of the two countries was proposed,
mong the many objections made to it,
no oe objected to the system of finance.
that being most liberal for Ireland. Dur
ing the war. Ireland has only been ena-
bled to pay her share OF the expence by
loans. chiefly raised in England, the Ut
most she could do having been to raise
taxes to pay the interest of those loans:
while England has not only done the
same as to her proportion, but raised also
enormous sums annually, under the
name of war taxes, The Property tax
has never been extended to Ireland. But
notwithsi anding these advantages, the re-
venue of LELAND is now unequal to the
interest of her debt and as a relief, ia
vor to her, the finances IF the two coun-
tries are to be consolidated. This is the
view taken of the measure, not only by
Ministers, but by the opposition. It'll
highly approved by Sir John Newport:
and MIR. Ponsonby, says it should have
taken place long ago.
But while in its immediate effect this
measure is exclusively advantageous to
Ireland, we must not forget that the well
fare Of the two countries is inseparable I;
AID that if Ireland prospers, England
must COON feel the beneficial effects OF
that prosperity. Since the Union, Ire
land has indeed prospered more, perhaps,
than any other country in the world. 1t
is admitted on all sides that her agricul-
ture and her exports have been doubled.
and that her population has increased
nearly third: The linen trade, about
which doubts have been expressed has
been increased, though sir John Newport
says the increase is in the export of the
raw material the cotton manufacture
has been doubled, and the silk trade ina
proved. Compliments were paid to Mr.
Vesey Fitzgerald from all sides for the
conduct clearness and ability OF his
statements. His general services to Ire
land indeed fully ertitle him to the gra-
|titude Of the public.
