tv. The she aker decided the proposition IN
order; an appeal was taken. b fore the discus
sion had progressed Far, Mr.. II milton was obs
served escorllng 10 his seat ]. Rau1oiph. He
very soon got The floor asked what the question
was, and without waiting Tor reply went on
20 discuss thc point of order. Every one VS.
Surprised to near Ec"aoiph speak 70 o,dsr, VINO
had perhaps never spoken IN crdir. lie spoke
Us usual oil every thing but The o., slion b !ore
the House. His argument, s,rIpt OF his un>
couth clnthing, may be reduced 20 this The
decision OF The Gear ought to he reversed bc-
cause the abolition Of the credit increased the
qnan,um Of the duty, on which the credit is al
10 wsd.-It is like an attempt to make an I'M
porter pay at the Royal Exchange al London,
instead OF paying at our own ports. Suppose
