ment was negatived by 202 to 130.-Majority for Ministers 72.

March 7.-In a conversation on the Income Tax, Mr. Brougham mentioned an instance of some Property Tax Commissioners having sold to a cheesemonger, a lot of waste paper, some bundles of which contained the returns made under the Income Tax.-Mr. Western concluded a long and lucid speech, by moving the following resolutions, which embody the substance of his discourse :-1. That it was the opinion of parliament that the agricultural part of the community laboured under the most unexampled distress. 2. That however various were the causes from which it originated, the demand for the produce of land was not now such as to enable the cultivator to sell its produce at a price sufficient to indemnify him for his expences. 3. That the consumption of barley, and consequently the demand for it, were reduced by the tax on malt, and that this duty ought to be abated or repealed. 4. That relief ought to be granted to the holders of agricultural produce, by advancing money to them on the security of that produce, and collecting into public granaries, in a year of surplus, abundance against the return of scarcity. 5. That it was expedient to repeal so much of the Corn Act of last year, as related to the warehousing of foreign grain. 6. That it was expedient to encourage the exportation of corn for some time by a bounty. 7. That it was expedient to encourage the growth of our own soil, by imposing duties on the importation of seeds, and other articles of agricultural produce, from abroad. 8. That the tithes and poor-rates were felt with increasing severity in the present general distress; and that it was expedient to consider of some mode of easing their pressure. The honorable gentleman then moved for a committee of the whole House on the distressed state of agriculture. - Mr. Frankland Lewis seconded the motion.Messrs. Robinson, Vausittart, and Huskisson, with Lord Castlereagh, said they would give the remedies proposed the most diligent and patient attention in a committee; and suggested that the resolutions should be printed.
