Ile explicitly - Ins opinion against the present state of the Corn Law., and for the repeal of the Act of last Session. The Petition was then brought up, teed, and ordered to lie on the table. POOR LAWS. Mr. STIIRGES BOURNE rose, pursuant to his notice. to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regu late the Laws relative to the Poor. Ile did not at this time intend to enter upon the subject, •and thought it would by better to postpone,sny discussion of it t►ll after the Bill had gone through the Com mittee, and had the'bSnks filled up. At the same ' 4 time be was ready to give any explanation now to any Member. This Bill failed last Session, in con sequence of certain alterations made in the other House. A most important clause had been expunged in 'the other licruse. But in deference to , the high authority of that branch of the Legislature, he should not insert that clause in the Bill which he now wish ed to introduce. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill. Sir ROBERT WILSON wished to know whether the Committee had been able to make any estimate of the comparative k%crease or decrease of the Poor Rates during the 10bc year ? Mr. s. BOURNE said that he was afraid he could not give the Honourible Member a satisfactory__ an- 116 aver , as b y hi s b e i ng appointed to several Election Cosneictees, which be had been obliged to attend, be berations had not of bez co able minietec to m a t prreot eirre so nt ans th w e d el i• n he was afield. he mot eirh that in the total districts the burden had not been les esned.—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. WINDSOR RSTAIILISHURNT. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR if the EL •CHEQUER,, the House went into a Committee to consider the report of the Committee on the Windsor Establishment, and Mr. Brooms took the Chair. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that with respect to' the provision for her late Majesty's servants, the Com mittee had recommendid, that the annual sum of £18;24.5, should be applied to that purpose. He ap prehended It was not necessary for him, after what he had suited last eight, to enter at present into any further details on that part of the subject. He should therefore simply move the second resolution—" That ii is the opinion of this Committee, that the sum of 0,561, being the fourth part of the annual allow ance, be issued every quarter out of the - Exchequer of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to the late servants of her Majesty. The Resolution was then put and carried. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the next subject which he should submit to the consideration of , the Committee was the office of castor ; and after what had passed in the discuision of last night, he was sure that no further argument was necessary. He should wish, in proposing the Resolution which he was about to submit on thishead, to avoid every allusion which might have a personal reference to his Royahlligh. ness, and to look only at the o ffi cial dlitief which were to be entilsted to him. As to the amount of the provision made for this office, no question had been advanced in the House. Parliament had for merly allowed £lO,OOO to this office ; and he thought and felt convinced that every Member of the House would agtee with him,' that '£lo,ooo a-year, consi dering the dignity of the office, and all the circum stances connected with it, be was convinced the House would not think the sum too great. The House would ace that the habits of Royal Persons, and the state which their rank obliged them to sup port. unavoidably raised their scale cf expenditure *hove that of ordinary life. They would also bear, in mind, that the office was not merely attended With great expense, but that it placed his Royal High ness, in that respect, niuch in the same situation as the King himself would be in. He was sure that no personal motive had actuated those who had voted with him last night, and therefore they could not be cunsideied as pledged to support him on this ques tion ; but lie thought they could not take a better guide than the conduct of the former Parliainent.— AVith regard to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) and the othef Gentlemen on the opposite side. he thought he had an equal claim to their support, and he hoped they would be'convinced that the conduct of Parliament in 1811 and 1812, was the btst guide they could follow. It way not merely Idle - office, but the elevated rank of th . e individual, and other attending circumstances, that must regulate ,the expense. The Noble Lord then moved, " that I au annual sum of 10,0001. be granted to his Iloyall Highness the Duke of York, to meet the expense of his Royal Highhess, incurred by discharging the du ties of custos of his Majesty's person." Mr. TIERNEY said,he was at a loss to conceive enehat reminds the Noble Lord calculated on his support to the present proposal. If the Noble Lord had consented that the 10,0a01. should be taken out of the Privy Pui-se, on that condition he would have agreed to die grant, but oa no other—and this he had stated in the Committee. The conduct of tl:e last Parliament had been recommended to them as a guide on the present occasion; and the Noble Lord seemed to think that it would be inconsistent in those who voted for the grant in 1812 to oppose it now ; but that grant to the Queen, he bested to remind the Noble Lord, lie (Mr. Tierney) had opposed—(llear, hear), and yet, to preserve consistency, he was now called upon to support a similar measure—(.l laugh and cheer:.) Oa account of the Queen's affliction at that time, the House, from motives of delicacy, had been unwilling to oppose the grant—but surely they had never intended that that vote should form a pre cedent. Ile certainly was not disposed to offer op position to the measure; but if the Noble Lord per sisted in driving it on, he should not think that he was disehatging his duty, if lie did not oppose it. Ile .would not divide the House on the question to-night, because, from A misunderstanding with regard to the course which it was understood the Noble Lord was to pursue, many Gentlemen had not attended the House. But he now gave notice, that on Thursday he would take the sense of the House on this grant. Whether the proposed sum was proper or not, was not the question with him ; but he was determined, that as far as his opposition could have any effect, it should not come out of the public purse. Mr. WAITHMAN could not allow this vote to Mass without entering his solemn pretest. It did ap pear obvious to him, that in this affair the House were at liberty to adopt any course which they thougbt,proper. The Privy Purse was a public fund, and as such the House of Commons had a Tight to t dispose of it. He opposed the measure, not solely on account of the circumstances of the country, but on various.other grounds. When the distress qcca stoned by the weight of taxation was so great, and when it was stated on all sides of the House that it was necessary to adopt economy, it was evident that it must commence somewhere. If his Majesty's Mi nisters were sincere,• it was incumbent on them to prove their sincerity by adopting economical mea sures. Imadvising his Royal Highness the Duke of York to allow them to bring down the Message which they had brought from him, they had given advice Which tended only to 'degr ade his Royal Highness. They ought rather to have advised him to come dawn to the House himself, and to say that he would be proud to take any sum chick Parliament would allow him ; but that, front the distiess of the coun try, lie could not consent to receive it from the public . He would not detai n t he H ouse any l onger , purse he was convinced that in whit he had said, he bad spoken the sentiments of that *hole Country. • Mn CURWEN thought he should not discharge his duty, if he did not give his decided orlillidem to the The l qiution was then put, and • The 4 Resolution, " That tbe paytiiediAtf all Annuities and Pensions to superadnuated Servants Of • •d. Ms Majesty be pig/ get of the:ooft&Wed Pun& agreeably to Act 52 if his Majesty," was then moved• Mr. BANKES wished td know. the precedent Which ',maid be established. Lord CAJ3I I r"" GH said, that by the Act as had the - , now stood, the nu / right cF providing Got the superannuated Servants of the King, taking care that the charges did not exceed the amount spe cited by the Act of Parliament. The Resolution was then carried. The sth Resolution, " That die snm of 14 , ► OOl. being the 4th part of the annual sum allowed to the late Queen, be set aside from the Civil List each quarter, and be carried over to the Consolidated Fond," was then moved. Sir A. HOPE said, that he was antious to have the number of Equerries distinctly allowed by the Committee. I By reducing two of them, the saving effected would be tantamount to nothing. But should' his Majesty recover from his indisposition, it woold necessarily give him great pain to find any of his old servants displaced. Besides, his Majesty, in his pre sent situation, required the attendance of his servints Os formerly ; the Lords of the Bedchamber could re main with him, and perform the same offices as tor. ! merly. On principle, therefore, and on economy, he would . urge the continuance of jiz Equerries.— The principle was, that Parliament should give the IRing every gratification in their power. As to the economy, it was said that the savii would be 10001. a-year ; but it might not be 1001 . altogether. If the King lived long, it might again be 20001. the saving then was from 1001. to 2000!. Mr. TIERNEY suggested that the best timl moving to the effect proposed by the gallant Officer, would be on Thursday next, when the Report would be brought up. Mr. C. W. WYNN said, that all that came before the House was the sum total to be voted for the Esta blishment, and a recommendation that the number of Equerries should he four. He did not think, therefore, that the number could be altered cn bring. ing up the Report. Sir A. HOPE remarked, that the Fstimate con tained six Equerries, although the Report recont- 1 mended only lour. Mr. TIERNEY said, that the Estimate, as Te rmed to in the body of the Report, required to con tain six Equerries ; but the Report recommended that the number should he four instead of six. Sir A. HOPE said; he should therefore move that six be the number of EquerrieA. Mr. TIERNEY said, he agreed with his Honour able friend (Mr. Wynn). If the suns proposed were 49,000/. it might be moved that it should be 50,000/. The money was in fact allowed for six. while it should only be for four Equerries. The question seemed to be how the Honourable Officer could in crease the number of Equerries. • Sir A. HOPE proposed to give notice of a motion for Thursday, that the number of Equerries be six., Mr. BRO4DEN thought that this was not the most regular mode. SW It. WILSON said, that as far as the feelings of the King would affect the question, the objection was equally arplicable to every reduction of the lLtablisliment. • Sir A. HOPE said, that he could not pledge him self to any form of troceeding; for at present he wanted only to know when and how to do it. Mr. TIERNEY stated, that since the Bill to be brought in must be in the same form as that of 1812,' the several Officers, the Groom of the Stole, &e: must beitamed in it ; ameng those would be four Equerries. It would then be competent to move that four should be left out, and six inserted in its place. Sir A. HOPE said he should follow that course. The Resolution was then carried. r .i , The several,Resolutions having been voted. the House resumed, and the Report was Ordered to be received on Thursday next.—Adjourned.
