MONDAY, 6 e.o. Ilse report of the committee on the proposition for an mutely, promoted by M. Lagrange, was distri buted to-day at the Assembly. As we have already announced, the committee has reported that the pro position should be rejected, inasmuch as the Assembly could not revise the jts without intrenching on the powers of the trials and could not grant individual pudoas without interfering with the pro nto) of the Puident of the Republic. report of the committee es the bedsit of pebble weeks has also been distribute& It pis,_ Important reductions. The goverment kesidemendal for ordinary works 63i minions, and he entsmerdi- Nary work. The committee proposes 62 minims and 93j millions, the whole redactions being 47 millions. Th. question, If this poetics of the budget shall be pat co the order of the day be ore the emenitle of the budget, has already been, and will no doubt again be, the subject of a warm debate. The struggle will be between those who wish to advance aunt those who desire to postpone the dissolution of the Assembly. The banquet of twenty-five sous a-bead, in com memoration of the revolution of Fehnory, was held yesterday at the Salle de la Fraternite, in the Rue MarteL About 1,200 guests were at the tables, and about as many more, consisting of females and sub- Northers, who could not obtain places, filled the gal-1 kirks. Most of the representatives belonging to the Montagne were present. In the National Assembly to-day the debate on the second reading of the electoral law wu resumed, and wu continuing( when our reporter closed his des patches. Nothing of interest occurred. A report was prevalent yesterday in the Salle des Cunferences of the National Assembly, that in one of the first sittings a proposition will be made, by the members of the Mountain, for a vote by the Assembly, expressing a desire for the commutation of the sen tence on the five men condemned to death for the murder of General do BO* and his aide-de-camp.

According to a oorreepoodeat of the Jowled, des Delia., (Roberti, after having resigned, and an nounced in the Chamber on the 21st init his retire meat, was recalled, and was induced to resume dice, and an intervention was immediately expected. I learn, however, from another quarter that the resigna tion of Gioberti was net aecepted by Charles Albert. In the meanwhile, however, we have the following report of what took place in the Chamber of De pu ties enbsequently to the resiguation of M. Giokrti en the Roth inst. At this 'Minx of the Chamber, which took place se the 2lst, an immense crowd filled the galleries and surrounded the Chamber. The MI:4IIMR or Rums announced the resignation Clio& r. i, and that General Chiodo lad bees nominated President of t►s Council of Mahan sad Provisional Yiaiste of Parings Affairs.

From this report it would appear that M. Rabb had not given in his neignation on the 20th inst., as he is imported in the Dibata to have done. The eorrespondent of the Debate says, in a post script, reining to a period subsequent to the above debate, " All the ministry have sent in their resigna tion. M. Oioberti is charged by the king to form • new rebind." Tbenossent the resignation of Gioberti became known In Twin the greatest collaboration prevailed throughout Turin. The people ainernbled on the public places, diacuseed and approved of the conduct of Oioberti. A great manifestation was Rot up. The populace collected on the Place del Catello, opposite Oioberti's residence, shouting " Viva Gioberti !" " Viva it Re l" " Down with the republics= l" and other similar anti-democratic cries. Chased prorated himself before the populace, in the lialsemy, and harangued them, declaring that he could set continue in office =leas he were allowed to realise his policy by endeavouring to eoppreee the fatal measures which were die traOsaka Italy, and that he felt conscious s mores of deserving and gaining the anil ines el the people. The populace then proceeded to the window of MM. Valerie and Brutish°, leaders of the altrallonacratio opposition and editors of mob lisenjenrsok when they gave expression to violent and broke the windows. A patrol of =;7 6 1:d0 °la however, arrived and dispersed them. The Risorgitnaito of Turin, of the 22nd inst., states *aka the 19th, a corps of 10,000 Austrians passed the Po, and esespisd the town of Ferrara. TUSCANY.—The Alba of Florence, of the 18th inst., states that the whole diplomatic body sailed from Leghorn cm the 18th , for Porto San Stefano. The British minister, however, had returned to Florence, sad the French minister had merely gone to Porto ilea Stefano with the intention of taking leave personally of Leopold IL, having been re-called by his government. A circular of the 'government of the Taman republic decrees its union with Rome, subject to the sanction of the Assembly, convoked for the lath March, and declares Ombra Lanier a traitor and outlaw. The Duchy of Lucca, it appears, has remained faith ful to the Grand Duke. The Tuscan General Lanier, ea we have already announced, occupied that duchy, at the head of Tuscan troops which remained Ana an thee allegiance, and which were augmented deity by those who declined supporting the provisional goversamst The Sardiaisa steamer Virgilio bad brought the Grand Doke from Stefano to Via-Reggio, a mall poet agar Loom.

The West India mail steamer Severn arrived at Southampton this morning. She arrived at Bermuda on the 6th inst., with one wheel, and after waiting seven days she left for England. She has brought no mails from Mexico, Havana, Jamaica, or Nassau. She lies brought only eight pusmus and a small quantity of specie, and the mail from the smaller islands. She knows nothing of the Forth, only that she had not arrived at Bermuda with the northern mails when she left.

He had sine* learnt that arm going into the jury box this man stated that no consideration upon earth should induce him to eoovict the prisoner; and when the jury were discharged, because they could not mem on their "Tail this man scanted a car, harangued the mob, bowed, a nd went to his inn in triumph. Faking could be more dis cos fog in a juror, sr, in fact, in any &rbtlan men, than to have been guilty of rush corrupt an Mathias* conduct. He sicked it to be understood that • juror was not to be pro tested, from the fact of hie being a juror, from any mamas which he might commit. Lard CAMPBELL entirely agreed with the sentiments expressed by his noble and learned friend, as to the con duct of the juror who had been alluded to ; and he went farther, and smarted that he was net exempted from • vio lation of the law liken in the jary-box. Lord BROUGHAM said it woe only the very ignorant who supposed that jurymen could net be punished for mis smithies.

Ihn—that wee the Pettis( apart the coal rents and wayless* rests *sr the benefit of these four chapelries would commence from the 13th of May. The astonishment which that an swer occasioned was, as might be expected, considerable, mad several egotism& came to him to Join In mgr ianu ratulatimm the noble conduct of the Bishop of D urham. Odin , egois. shook their heads, and knowing matter themselves, complained that the noblo w" rsmik,dl in a speech of only three cr four minutes' duzatigy been made the medium el cominsankatlng more missommption then had ever before bees pat forward within the same lied space of time. But the fourth point of the noble lore* re ply was the most extraordinary of all. li g e sie z d W the adaists,. they were told, we aod to ing kr the changewhich had been made, and the amebae VOW, of Bishopmementh was hresght into out M MAW As house believe it. They were told tillfi g Sielpliatiell foes. this vestry had been received by the WM% end bed made the suggestions on which this new me Sewage& owl - that afterwards the head of that had orgesmsi thole thanks to the right rev. prelate in a letter foe laths 0) readily complied with their request. The letter which bad thus hem addressed to this Bishop of Durham had bees,he mdentood, transmitted by the right rev. prams to the noble lord, and was read by him to ' the house, and if it was meant to infer anything, it was that the deputation had represented a mon numerous body of the •;=, who represented the wishes of the inhabitants of the generally in the matter. (Rear.) On this point, however, he must take leave to undeceive the noble lord, end show him not only that he bad been misled, but that the whole story of the vestry and the deputation and the letter of thanks should be regarded rather as a hoax than anything els*. The facts were, that the ancient select vestry was so select, that it was sell-elected. It. bus am was treasacted by three individuals, and he was told that on the occasion alluded to these three gentlemen met and constituted themselves a reetry. Then they re solved themselves into • deputation from the vestry to the bishop, and in that character proceeded to the Wshop of Durham, and made certain suggestions to him as to the rec tory of liishopwearmouth, which bad become vacant. They received their answer, and, returning, reported to the vestry they were deputed by, 'is., themselves ; and, having so re ported to themselves the answer received by themselves, they lay aside the character of a depatatioa and again be come a many representing the inhabitants of the perish, and cm behalf of the inhabitants repairs that the whole of the proceedings be kept secret, sad write • letter to the bishop thanking him for ado tint their meggestiewo the inbabitaate heaths; nothing of the proposed amass sent until the whole affair was °occluded. (Flose s , hear.) Such, as he was informed, were the real came/Menses of the ease and be had felt Mosel( bound to bring time adder the notice of thehoble lord. He wished now to ask the noble lard whether in any of the points referred to ia his former answer 2/ to the gross income of the rec•ory—the future income of the incumbent—the application of the surplus revalue, or the feeling of the pariationen es represented by the ancient metz7—the statements contained in the noble lord's previous answer were in any respect immoral* and requiring correc tion ? (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL replied, that on the third point there had certainly been an error, not as the hon. feentleman sup posed in the statement sen t the Bishop of Durham, but in his (Lord J. Russell's) reading of it. The Bishop of Dur ham stated that the wayleaves and coal rents would be placed in the heads of trustees for the benefit of the chapalrin„ amounting to 1,6001. a vear, and on the honour , able member's aging whether thit sum would be paid to the incumbents of the other chapelriss, his reply was, eomdading that that was the contemplated arrange ment, la the affirmative. In that inferesce, however, it appeared he had been mistaken, the 'dud state of the one being, as the Bishop of Durham informed him, that after the 13th (not the 30th) of May the funds arising from wayleaves and coals will be paid to trustees (the bishop and rector). They will pay to each &nein at least the amount they at present receive, so long as the way leans remain. Any exrplus will be put into the funds to messaalan for the spiritual benefit of the parish and its !lapel/in; but not to add one farthing to the income of the incumbent Among other objects, greatly desired, is the building of a church at Hendon, in the parish of Bishop weannouth, some two or three miles from the mother church, with, lam told, 6,000 inhabitants. I have little doubt but we shall improve the present payments of the chapels, is proportion to the population ; but, so long as the question of the wayleaves remains unsettled, we do not think ft prudent to hold out expectations which it may not be fa "our power to gratify." As to the lea point, whether the inhabitants generally were satisfied with the arrange ment, the statement he had received was that the =tunnel late who had addressed the bishop were satisfied, and that had been his answer to the hon. gentleman. Mr. HORSMAN inquired whether in the noble lord's opinion the bishop had any authority to divert any portion of the temporalities provided by law for the incumbent to any other purpose ? Lord J. RUSSELL did not consider be would have any authority to divert the revenues settled by law as the income of the living, whether arising from rents or other sources, and if that bad been done in any can he imagined there would be some legal remedy. IRISH POOR-LAW RJTVRNS. Yr. A. STAFFORD in q uired wVatiiiiieChancellor of the Etehequer had ezantinsd the returns to which he had milled his attention on a previous evening; and whether he was in a position to correct the inaccuracies contained in them. In the fourth page the right hon. gentleman would and a mistake of no lecithin 8,0001. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had com pared the primed paper with the original document met over from Inland, and found it an accurate copy. Of course the Treasury did not hold themselves responsible for the inaccu racies in returns prepared in Inland—(a laugh)—bathe had sent for an explanation. ENGLISH WORXIIIm, In reply to a question from Mr. B. Cocuaexs, • ENGLISH WORKMEN IN FRANCE. Lord . 1. RUSSELL stated that his noble friend Lord Pal usrston had received &satisfactory sr ;trance free the French government that they were reedy to pa y the tams deposited is the French savings banks, by the British workmen who were compelled to leave Frame on the breaking out of the revolution lest year, ea soon as it was mortabied who were the parties who had the claims. RECTORY OF BISHOPWEARMOFTH.. The CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQUER having moved the committee of supply, Mr. HORSIIAN Interposed to put a question to the noble lord (J. Russell.) He believed since the noble lord answered • question put by him (Mr. Borman) MOM days tato, he had received • oomanutioation from the Bis ho p of Durham, revisiting him to cor rect some Inaccuracies into which, in that mower, the noble lord fell. As the matter related to a subject in respect to which he had given natio. of a modal, he should not refer to it on this occasion, but that he considered it not only just to 1 give the noble lard the opportunity of correcting the inaccu racies to which he alluded, but that his attention should be directed, before the disAmion on the motion came on, to *stein other particulars in which the answer which had been gives woe, as he had since been informed, neither satisbotory nor correct. The subject to which be referred wee the rearrangement la the distribution of the revenue of the rectory of Bishopweennouth, and the facts of the cue were these. During the last autumn this rich rot , tory bonnie count by the demise of Dr. Well/dry, the late incumbent, sad that event becoming known it wee supposed that such • rodistributien of the temporal revenues of the living woaid be made as should seem adequate provision for the spiritual went, of the district. He (Mr. Herman) inquired of the noble lad whether he could inform the house Hush re-distribution of the temporalities of the rectory had been carried into elect, and if so what wee the nature of it. The noble lord gave an answer—not his own certaialy—hat speaking is the information he obtained from the brief he held in I,L hand at the moment, vie., a cenentanication hem the Bishop of Durham, and if, as he beli:yed was the ease, the information contained I. that brief was incorrect, the noble lord had as much reason to complain as he (Mr. Borman) bad. That answer involved four pants—first, it refined to the gross income of the rectory ; secondly, to the future income of the incumbent ; thirdly, to the applica tion of the surplus sevenae ; and fourthly, the feeling of th e inhabiteata of the parish in regard to sub re-di:tributton, and the manner in which it would affect their spiritual interests. (Hear.) In each of these four points the answer he had re ceived from the noble lord woe, llt was sorry to say, not of that accurate character which might have been expected. With regard to the first point the noble lord stated that the groat income of the benefice was 9.11001. a year. He (Mr. Horseman) was informed that that was smodi under the mark. That was according to the informatisn be bad re ceived. On the other three points, hewers, he meld speak with more confidence. As to the seseni—the esithtg apart a eertaia portion of the future income of the rear: to the payment of curates, limiting the incase the inenathent to 1.2001. a year—he believed he was etarest in saying that no such arrangement had or could have hew made. a the minimum income which h a d b een 'seare d to the f u ture I ineambeat was more than 2,0001. a year. With such an in come, and in a parish of more they 30/180 earls, it would ap pear almost a matter of course diet the insambent should keep durum, and of coarse, aloe, that he should pay them. Yet aosti*etim had bees ands on him, and se stipalelisa biadiar o n his sneesseurse libl o a .l be made to pay 8001. a-year eat et the 11,0301. lur that purpose.

WSW nod sePallei the mullaussot, theism& EMIGRATION. Mr. MONEIRLL refined to a document signed by Mr. Marini', stating that emigrants would be sent out by go- TtrlMOllt from each part of the kingdom, accordion to its population. From a Mumma made by Mrs. Chisholm, it appeared that 19,633 had bra sent out from Ragland, 2,739 from Scotland, end but 1,879 from 'reload, which included cartaken treatise workhouse. Re wished to know er the statement was correct ; and if so, how could the 'endue of eke Colealal4o6es be roameiled with that under. %Wan - - - Kr= HAWES mid the best answer he could give to the question would be. to state the actual number of emigrants sent out to Australis sines the resumption of emigration to New South Wales. Including the last three roan, the num ber rent from England had been 16,667; from Semland, 2.863; sad from Ireland, 3,634 ; making a total of between 22,000 sad 23,000. It would be thus seen that the number of emigrants from Ireland had fallen short In proportion to the population of that country by 400 or 800 ; but when it was consideted that a large number of the superior class of Irish emigrants wentout from this ottantryas emigrants from England the disproportion would be lam. There was no de sire on the part of the Colonial-aloe to alter or vary the ar rangements by which emigrants were to be sent out from the three countries in proportion to the population. Kr. MONBELL observed that the hon. gentleman's own statement showed a greater disproportion as againeklreland than he had stated, and inquired if any intimation had been made to the Colonial-office not to send out Irish persons. Mr. HAWEB.—The house mast understand that the emigration copuniedonets were entreated with colonial funds entirely, and for colonial purposes. They were not British or imperial funds with which they had to deal. The colonies who provided the moneys bad therefore a distinct right to intimate to the coeamimionen the description of emigrant. they would receive, and he believed they lad intimated an opinion that they preferred English to Irish emigrants. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh.") Mr. J. O'CONNELL "skid whether, as a large proportion of the migrants from Ireland were young persons, and espe cially orphans, there was any provision for their being edu cated In the religion of their parent' ? Mr. HAWBissi4 a committee had hems formed in the colony of the leading men of all parties to superintend the settlement and distribution of emtgrants, and be presumed that this point—their religion—would not be overlooked. Mr. ANSTEY intrirea whether it was not a feet that in the Andrallea colonies thane unfortunate questions of atho. lie sad protestant were Namely ever heard of ? Mr. HAWES was afraid he could not confirm the hon, gentleman's impression in that particular. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS. Mr. J. 8. SMITH asked whether it was true that a de spatch had gone oat stating that government would seder take if the legislature of the North American colonies would charge the revenues with a sum sufficient to pay . 5 per cent. on the Imlay, to provide the means for constructing a railway from Hal fa: to Quebec Leal J. RUSSELL said there bad been some corresp3n dense au the subject between the Colonial Secretary and the governors al the North American colonies, but govern ment was not involved in any guarantee. FINANCIAL REFORM. The question that the Speaker leave the chair having been Pat Mr. COBDEN roes and said,—l have ventured, Sir, to introduce the amendment which has been placed in your hands, because I thought it would be advan tageous to the house and to the country that before we went into committee of supply, or into the details of the estimates ' we should have the opportunity of discussing the question of the financial enchtson and prospects of the country, and the cause which has given rise to the great in- CMOS in the public expenditure which has been tadag an during the last ten years; and I have considered that by Ides so we "ball afford the government the opportunity of amertdning the MSC of the house, and I hope also the sense of the country, on this subject. In giving notice of this motion as an amendment to the motion for going into committee of supply, I by no means wish lion. gen tlemen to infer that the plan I propose here or have pro pounded elsewhere, is one that I expect the government will bring forward in their estimates to-night or on Friday next. I have no mach expectation, and should be sorry to take the division in such a shape as to leave any hon. gentle man to infer, still lens to argue, that what I propose to do can be done Instanter. All I wish is that the house should have the opportunity of expressing its opinion as to the dedrableneses and the necessity of the great reductien in the expenditure which I advocate. Now, sir, there is just one other point to which I will feta for a moment. I have stated in the beginning of my rest> laden that our net expenditure for the year 1835 amounted to 44,422,0001., and that It was 64,185,0001. down to the am meneernent of the present year. I would have inserted the roes expenditure if I could have obtained it from the lest amounts, because we are under a great delusion in this house and in the country in supposing that our expenditure amounts only to that which comes int) the net account of our finances. (Hear, hear.) Now, dr, on this subject we can take a very much more severe view of our neighbours' affairs than we can of our own. We have had the finances of the French government very much criticised and rem asked upon in this country of late. Now, the French accounts are kept in a very different, and I think superior way from ours. In the French 'counts you have the gross . 61 . 8 pat dawn en the debit and credit aides. For instance, the ail et eallseden, all the drawbacks, sad everything viii le tads esantry Is put down ea charges of collection of maw, yea lave pat down in the gross revenue of accounts in Plena Besides, in France you have a great number of items charged that we put down here as local expenditure. For insures, they have a large item for the religious in sulation et the people; tbeyhant also items for roads and Wien% tie whole of their ideation, and ateliers osatiesatiz We lave heard a grist deal of their eat of workshops, for getting that we have our ateliers nationaux in every workhouse in England. (Hear, hear.) I will just read to the house what is the amount of expenditure in Enelind for public objects of the suns kind as are inserted in the French budyst. Our imperial expenditure is 54,000,0001. ; and here I beg to say that I will only give the figures in round numbers, omitting the hundreds and thousands, and that in every am I will engage to be under the real 'mounts. (Hear.) Oar imperial expenditure, then. is 64,000,0004 Unr emit of colleen= and other amounts not paid into the emievar,F is 7,000,0001. Our expenditure for the relief of the poor in the United Kingdom is 8,000,0001. Our county rates I put down at 1,006,0001. • our highway rates are 1,000,0001. ; religion. 6,ooo,ooo4—making a gross total altogether of 77,000,000. Now, we bay., heard it stated in this country that the French Government, in the year of the revolution, and when they were in an excaptional state, had expended 72,000,0001. In this country we expended 77,000,0001. for similar objects. Nay more, I have left sot oar expense for hospitals and education, though I be lieve that if every item was included, and a fair comparison made, we should have an expenditure of 80,000,0001. in England against 72,000,0001. in Franc*, for a population of 29.000,000 against a population of 36,000,000. (Hear, hear.) Now, air, that I think is calculated to make us enter on the consideration of this question in a node cal mired, if possible, to diminish this enormous amount of expenditure ; and in bringing forward tinily local charges, I must say that we have lint sight, a great deal ton much, of the increase of late years which has taken plans in the local taxation of this country - (beer, bear)—for this country differs from every other in this respect, that we have four or five different local and legislative bodies taxing the people in different ways for a variety of objects. If we look at the incresee in our local expenditure, we shall see something deserving of our serious and solemn attention. I will tale the amount for the relief and maintenance of the poor in the United Kingdom. In the year 1837 that amount was 4,300,0001. ; by the latest accounts it was 8,341,0001. •, and I take 1837 as the first starting point, because, in that year, the new poor law was brought into full operation in this country, and we had effected a considerable reduction in the expenditure for the relief of the poor, and thought that the new law would hive prevented any increase. Why, in England alone, since that time the increase has been 60 per cent. for the relief of the poor. (Hear, hear.l In ciunty rata it has been the same. For the year 1835 the enmity rates amounted to 671,0001. For the year ending Michael mas 1847 they . were 1.266,0004—near1y double spin for musty rates same 1885. (Hear.) And I must ray that I think local charges of this kind form • much tenor index of the state of the country than the imperial taxation, for bear in mind that these items of poor rates and county rates are for the support of pauperism, the construction and maintenance of gaol end other objects of that kind. In fact, your local taxation Is a kind of barometer, showing the social state of the country ; and I must say that the pro grits of these rates for the last 14 or 15 years has bean of a moat discouraging and alarming kind. (Hear, hear.) And there it another view of this question. You cannot diminish these local rates, you cannot keep them down, or prevent their increase, by any means you may 're sort to in the lucilities themselves. It is ID, firm Wier that the progress of extravagance in your imperial legislature is the cause of the growth of pauperism and crime in your several localities, and that to amend and check this you must apply the remedy in this house by general legislation. (Hear, hear.) Now, sir, I think these facts will prepare us all tor entering into this subject with a desire, if visible, to find a means of reducing the expenditure which leads to these evils. And now I come to the point upon which I have heard much cavilling, sod which I do not wish to be an obstacle in the way of any hon gentleman joining with me this evening. It has been objected to me and asked, " Why do you take 1836 as the standard to judge by in making your calculatioas ?" (Hear.) Why, I have taken it because I would avoid doing that, which indeed I have been charged with doing, I would avoid taking an arbitrary standard. (Hear.) I have been charged with being dogmatical and fenolia taking an arbitrary standard. No; I have not done so. I have done as we all would do lithe management of our private affairs. If we have done wrong, we would look back ad see when we began to get wrong. (" Hear, hear," and cheers). And in doing this, I have only followed precedents set me by others who discussed similar questions before. Why I appeal to the hon. member for Montrose, and other hon. members of this hone, whe ther, after the Rumba revolutionary war, it was not the practice here to refer to the standard of 1792 ? Mr. HUMS.—Whig end tory did so. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COBDEN.—Whig and Tory, my hon. friend reminds me, pointed back to 1792 as the point at which they fell into these unhappy hostilities. (Hear, hoer.) I believe it was the practice of Mr. Pitt to refer back to the peace establishment after the seven years' war. Even the finance committee of 1817, appointed by Lord Castlereagh—evan they referred to 1792 as the standard, as the point of depart ure to which they should endeavour to return. (Hear.) Why, I could quote from every leading men, who rat on the oppo sition side of the house i n 1816, down to 1822, arguments to show the propriety of the eourso I am pursuing. I will take one. I will quote from the Marquis of Lansdowne, who moved a resolution analogous to mine in March 1816, and said t upon that eensaiou, .th this Mew it would be necessary for him to compere the pre sent with former estimate' ; and, Indeed, this was the any prone'. ble way la which they could be considend, drawing in aid of that conelitentian the experiesce and wisdom of former times. That this heel be the prattles firmer occasions was proved by the eon. duet of a right has. whom authority the sable lords oppo site °sold warmly dispute► be meant Er.

I am not oast of three who attach an undue importance to precedent; but I think the case I have re ferred to forms • good example for me in drawing attention to the expenditure of 1835. And when I say 1836, I might take the average of '34, '35, and '36, because it would make very little difference in the calculation; but I take 1835 and draw a comparison between that and the expenditure of last year. I find that the interest of the funded and unfunded debt in 1835 was 28,614,0001., that in 1848 it was 28,563,0001. , so that there is not a ;difference of 60,0001. between the interest on the debt then and at the present time. Then I And that the expenditure for the army, navy, and ordnance in 1835 was 11,657,0001., that in 1848 it was 17,645,0004, and that the Kaffir war in 1848—for I cannot separate that from our warlike estimates, because I know not when it may com mence again—(hear, hear)—cost 1,100,0004, making a total for army, navy, and ordnance of 18,745,0001. for last year. The civil expenditure, consolidated fund, and miscellaneous for 1836 was 4,251,0001. • for 1848, it was 6,698,0001. ; and the distress in Ireland iast . year cost 276,0001. The total, therefore, of expenditure in 1836 was 44,422,0001. against 64,182,0001. in 1848. (Hear, hear.) Now I wish every hon, member to look at this point. You have 28,663,000Lf0r the interest of the funded and unfunded debt which you cannot touch for any reduction of your expenditure. Then, for civil expenditure, you have 6,698,0001, which comes under our review every year. Well, by nearly the half of that which goes to the consolidated fund you might probably, and you will in time, I hope, be able to make considerable reductions ; but that sum, which is voted under present acts of parliament, ie, I believe, the sum to which you will apply at last for any reduction of expenditure. Well, then, air, we come to • sum of 3,000,0001. or 4,000,0001. a year for your miscellaneous expenditure, upon which you are to itemise the pruning knife, unless you adopt the plan which I most unfeignedly re commend, to reduce that enormous item of 18,000,0004, for your military establishment. (" Hear," and cheers.) Now, I have always advocated, feeling the necessity of a re duction of expenditure, the going to that enormous item where any great practical relief can be had. Hon. gentlemen. connected with the military service may think that there is • spirit of hostility in my mind to them, because I touch that item. I do it from abaolute necessity. (Hear, hear.) If you will give any substantial relief to the country, and make such a reduction as will amount to a sensible diminution of expenditure, you must apply to that great item of army, navy, and ordnance. (Hear, hear.) Now, sir, I will en deavour—for that almost is the whole gist of the argument I have to offer upon that item of army, navy, and ordnance—l will endeavour, with your permission, to show what has been the expenditure upon that since 1835, what went the causes of the increase, aed I will then leave it to the house to decide whether those causes which led to the increase exist at petite. (Hear, hear.) Now, in 1836 there was an additional vote of 6,000 seamen to the navy. In 1836 there was • great apprehension felt in this country respecting the Russian invasion. We had two or three gentlemen then in England who, I thought, had a monomania on the subject. (Laughter.) I was so struck with that impression that, although cons. pied at that time in private pursuits, I did perpetrate two or three pamphlets in answer to those gentle men, who, as I said before, had, asj I thought, a monomania about Russia. (Renewed laughter.) But the cry was pro pagated by those individuals, and echoed in the press, and in this house, and the result was that the hon. member for Halifax proposed the increase of 60,000 men for the navy. The kings speech recommended it; and it is rev secret in the present day that the king had a strong feeling on the subject. Well, is there any ground now for summing that Russia is coming to invade us) (Hear.) Why, we were to have had the French invasion aline that—(A laugh) ; bur who will now my that we want these 60,000 seamen to protect us ? Still there they remain. (Hear, bear.) Now I come to 1838. You remember the rebellion in Canada in 1838. That gave rime to an increase of 8,000 to our army. (Hear, hear.) That rebellion was put an end to very soon. Canada since then obtained mrthing • country can desire in the shape of self-government, (Hear.) I can only say that I wish the people here were in u 'nippy a position as the population of Canada are. I suppose hon. gentlemen will not imagine that there is any danger now of a rebellion or of any collision between England and Canada, yet there the 8.000 soldiers still remain. (Hear, hear.) Now, in 1839, the right hon. member for the city of London (Lord J. Rumen), who was then Home Secretary, moved for an increase of 6,000 men rank and fi'e for the army, and he told us what they were wanted for. There had been an apprehended insurrection at Monmouth ; I allude to the affair of Frost, Williams, and Jones. There was some turbulence in that part of the country by the char tist party, and the noble lord told us that 5,000 men were required to meet those domestic troubles. Well, but we have had an interval of several years of uninterrupted peace at home, during which the chartists have been scarcely heard of, sad yet there remain these 6,000 men. (Loud cheers.) We never heard of their reduction. (Hear, hear.) Now I come to the years 1840 and 1841. We had the China war, • war in Syria—we had • threatened rupture with France, and we were embroiled with America with respect to the arrest and trial of M'Leod. These were times of excitement, and I admit they were not without some peril to the peace of the country, bat there was an addition of 6,000 sailors made at that time. Well, bat the China war is at an end. Syria is in the bands of the Turks. There is no longer a threatened rupture with Franco or with Amnia, and the M'Leod matter; has been settled. Yet, here are the 6,000 sailors—(hear, bear)—we
