No eloquence could heighten tha importance of this question : the Noble Lord and his Colleagues lifer: brought to a fair trial befemeheir country.

The Noble Lcrd might make speeches. en i long speeches ; no man could make them oftener or longer (a kresh ) ; but be could not persuade the people of England out of the exercise of their a mmon sense. (Rear, hear.) — Their understandirgi w..uld not be deceived, and tl e conduct of Ministers on this occasion would be a te: t of what was to be expected him them in future. He should not be surprised if, in the c-urse of the even log, the Secretary to the Admiralty should rise and avow his intention never to accept this odi us.addi. tion. If he did so, he (Mr. Tierney) hoped that the House would, notwithstanding, come to a vote on the question. Let Ministers have a fair trial; but let judgment be pronounced. Mr. W. POLL was induced to address the House principally by what had faller from the Hon. and Le2rned Gentleman (Mr. Brouglrim.) who had statedl opinions that called for the firm. opposition of every member of Government. He had declared that it was to hint most unsatisfactory to witness the efforts Minisw, ten were making to promote economy, and it was nut surprising that every step taken to secure to them the' cue fideuce of the oath* should be viewed on his part with-regret and discontent--(Hear, hear.)—Tbe Ho • Imitable and Learned Gentleman bad on this night completely thrown off his mask.

Mr. W. POLE bowed with submissioa to the de cision of the Chair.

The Right Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to point out an, error of Mr. Brougham's - with regard to the establithineot of the office of the second .Secretary, had 'been treated lasing, and filled by Sir P. Stephens. He as sewed, frOm his own experience, tkatit was Impossi ble for one Secretary to discharge the complicated dutierpf the Admiralty ; and rebutted the ugunsent drrieirom the small amount of widows' pensions, by . !Laing that £49,000 had been added to it, and that so country is the world' had done so much in liberal nenunieraticin to the sufferer's by war. He accused the Honourable and Learned Gentleman of striving to *cite as ssfair odium against Ministers, who had . 40fleiivosuld so meet the wishes of the people by the i f,* of the malt dirty. After the declaration of this sight* the ecple would know bow to estimate the Semis of r te Hasonrabis and Learned Gentleman. He then entered into a justification of the Commis. ales of Revision. maintaining that it was appointed merely for public benefit, and that the names of the Ceamniseioners ought to secure it from accusation. Mr. BROUGHAM (having just entered the House) said, that during his absence he understood that be had been accused by the Right Hon. Gentle man whohad jolt sat down, of having, in his obser vations on Ministers, made a pointed attack upon the illustrious House of Brunswick. He. had been in formed that the Hosour.ibie Gentleman had stated that he (Mr. Brougham) had disclosed his principles, aad that they were principles unfriendly and hostile to the present' House of Brunswick. This, be con ceived, wis a matter which should not be suffered to pass unnoticed, nal be would. sit down in order in give the Honourable Geodes:an oppostanity4* giving smite explanation. Mr. W. POLE said, that .he had never Stifle est of such eirpre , sirso. Mr. BROUGHAM was then to understand the Honourable peneleman, that he had net only never made use of such expressions, but that he had never %14,d oy thing that imported any charge against him with respect to his principles. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE replied, that what he said was, that he should be very sorry if the princi. pies of the Honourable Gentleman accorded with tno,e of his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he was sorry to in terrupt the debate, but he considered that it was of consequence not only to himself, but to the House, that this nt utter should be adjusted. Tf any-Member of the House had been giiilty of using suds hide. corona language as that which bad been imputed to himself, it was the duty of the House, acting as it always had upon similar occasions, to have animal: vetted upon the conduct of such Honourable Gentle man. All therefore be would sow trouble the House with, was to state, that he considered himself as sins ceze a friend of that illostrious Fautilyi and as semis file of the inestimable benefits thecountry had derived f Int it, as any man in the House. His only hop was, that they would have better advisers,who would be more cap able of preserving them dell on the Throne I— Hear, hear.) Mr. BA KS felt persuaded that if his Honourable Friend (Mr. Brougham) bad been aware of the int port of the observations be has thought proper to make upon the illustrioss House of Brunswick, he would have abstained front making them—(Meer, Isser.)—He bad beard with displeasure, and trim in dignation, some of the expressions wade use of by that Honimrable Gentleman; and be could not-hip ' saying, that they Vere entirely out of all the rhos' and regulations of Parliament.—(ifear,hrev.)—Mith respect to the question before the House, .be really did ;hick that the proper time foe thecussies was iabsectest to the Estimates being laid before tie Meuse; and although his own deluded opinion "pep dot the imam of these salaries 4 ties of Still was nn improper act on the part of Governsetsfb Tet ,lirobeold wait until the whole information wee **l for. the House. He bore testimony to the hi 6 Ms; speendslity of the Gentlemen composing the Cos mittee of Revision, as well as tOtheir endeavours produce economy in every department ; but still mast maintain, that at resent he saw no reason Sorel raising the salaries of the two Secretaries of the and more particularly when the.decreasa is the price of almost every netlike of provision wail considered, and when the disteemed state Otilarl country under the heavy weight of taxation was Issi Elected upon even for as instant. ' For these Teatime he should certainly, when the question came under discussion, oppose the vote for raising the salaries,' not only of the two Secretaries in question,. butulso of every other department, where he should see no manifest reason for such an increase. Lord COCHRANE said, that his reasons for op. posing any increase in the salaries of the two Geatle. men in question, not only proceeded from a thorough knowledge of the duties to be performed by the ae. Yrra L..----- - -,. .• • a • ... crataries of she Addralty hot also front being ac cessioned with the fact of le decrease in valve, with the inception of money, of ahnost all the necessaries of life. He begged to remind the House of the old ma=im, of being just beforeowe were generous; and it would be recollected, that In 1811, the number of ships kept, up were 11l more than were now pre-' served. The salary of the Astronomer - Royal of the Navy was only one charter of the amount of that of+ the Secretary of the Admiralty . , and th e Assistant Astronomer was only oae.titub of theta:mint- If a farther investigation . were *lade in these salaries, it would be seen that the Librarian of :the Admiralty 4sad but half the salary of the Housekeeper, and that the Assjstahi-Honseceper's. 'salary cqhplled that of the Librarian. He could, iffit-:erert necessary, go into a minute detail of these ialaries ; but it wosl be taking up too much of the tinge of the House. and heoomived OW *bat he had iareadp stated was to'shew the inequality of the salatier of the dhisrent permits, employed in this departmmt,.. It Would be considered a mere waste of money to gram IM increase of thesisalaries in time of profound peace. Mr. CLOKER said. that it was not his intention en take any part in the debate which had this night taken pleat s but be felt it his duty to attend in his ceinte to give any personal explanation which might required. He could assure the House, that it was impossible for him to be placed in a more painful si tuation than the"' present ; but that pain was very much alleviated be the very haadsome and ho abatable testimony which his Majesty's Ministers had 'been pleased to bear of his own private character.— That statement had been received by the House in a manner • highly gratifying to himself; and if those was any. taunt or ri4icule thrown out by Gentlemen 'oil the other Ade, be felt persuaded that Übe were to call upon them for any esplanatiea ' they would ac knowledge that they had used rather too much both of warmth and levity. Sir 3. MARJORIBANKS justified the increstie which had been made in the offices of the Excise in Scotland. Mr. TIERNEY explained. Mr. METHUEN shortly replied ; and maintained that if a system of economy was not immediately set as foot, the country would be involved in the horrors of irretrievable ruin. The question was loudly called for, and a division then took place on the amendment moved, that the Home do proceed on the other Orders of the Day, when the numbers were— Fetthe Amendment - l39—Against it - 130 Majority In la►o4r of Ministers Mlr - - 29 The House then. at HALF-PAST TWELVE, adjourned.
