COLONIAL LEGISLATURE.

House or Asssirsi.v, Ws.nsi:sn.u', April 11.

The appropriation Bill passed.

The Revenue Bill was put into committee.

Mr. Warburton su ested that it would be better to pass the Bill or more than one year, Merchants would then be better able to give their orders for ods, and would not require to wait for the Bill to pass before they made large im rtations. He also wished to see the system c anged for the collection of duties, and particularly for duties of large amounts such as spirits, &c.

The Duties are left the same as last year, exce t the duty on Home manufactured spirits whic has been reduced 6d. per gallon. The duty on Port Wine has been raised (id. The duty on tobacco is much the same, as it is to be id on the manufactured article.

r. Havilaud, moved that printing paper and materials be exempted from duty, the other colonies had taken off these duties, and as the House, professed to be the friends of Education they should extend it to what would enable us to have cheaper books and newspa- pers, besides books came in free of duty, and while there was a duty on r. it was a tax on the home manufacturer, who employed peo lo and machinery on the Island.

The views of Hon. Members on this subject, will be given in a future Number, the motion was lost on the following divison.

House in Committee on Bank Bill.

Mr. llaviland ex Iiiincd—-

The present Bil was introduced instead of the one that asst.-d the Ilonso last Session, and to which ler Majesty refused her assent for the reasons assigned in the Dcspatches. Members were acquainted with those reasons, as they had already been debated. Ile believed that every lion. Iember would admit the necessity of a Bank; the want ofexchnnge was severely felt, it large amount of money for the Patriotic Fund was now lying idle because reliable drafts could not be obtained. 'l‘lic amount of Capital pro oscd was limited to £30,000 in 1500 shares of.C‘..’.0 each, perhaps it would be better to divide it into shares, of£l0 each, which would accommodate men of small means. If persons were intercstedin the Bank in various parts of the Country, it would not be so liable to a run, in cases of hard times. Mr. ll. spoke of the principal features of the Bill, which we have given a little more in detail from our notes, as the Bill went through Committee.
