HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 4. The Loeb COM/MELLOR, the Marquis of WINCHELSM, and Vis count Alm.vit.t.e, appeared as his Majesty's Commissioners, and brought down the Royal Assent to the 20,000,000 of Exchequer Bills llill, and the Transfer in Aids Bill. Viscount M ELVILLE gave notice, that on Monday next, he should reeve the appointment ef a Committee to consider the State of the I. kw.: regulating the Election of Peers for Scotland. Eat DA RN LEY presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Town of Caine, praying fur a Revision of the Corn Laws.— Laid on the table. A Petition was presented front the Catholic; of the Town of Macroont, in favour of the Catholic Association.— Laid en the table. Lord K ENYON presented a Petition from Louth, in the County of Lincoln, praying for an alteration of the laws respecting the recovery of Small Debts.—Laid on the table. Lord 00 ILA ND presented a similar Petition from the Mer chants. Rankers, and Tradesmen, of the Borough of New Walton. Laid on the t-lole. _ Lord CA unroll PE held a Petition from the Directors of the Chamber of Manufactures and Commerce of the Town of Bir mingham, stating, that on account of the high price of foreign iron, they were precluded from supplying the orders received from fo reign markets, where they suffered deep injury by being undersold. Ile (Lord Calthorpc) was glad to fiod that in the liberal policy which ha Majesty's Ministers bad adopted, particularly in regard to trade, tisey had detet mined to lower the duties on foreign iron. lle trusted that they would also, at no distant period, remove the restrictions which exit,!ed on the introduction of other primary materials, especia:ly rliti4e which ware afterwards re exported in a manufactured state.—'Pie Petition was read, anti laid on the table. The Order of the D.:y for ;wing into a Committee ou the Scotch Judicature Bill having b:en read, Lord KINVON took the Chair in the room of the Earl of SIIA FTESIII;III'._ . The Bail of ROSEREBRY bad intended to object to several parts of the Bill, but in consequence of the alterations which he understood it was to und. rgo in the Committee, he should defer his u'..seiv..tlops till another stage. The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested that the verbal amend ment, and a new clause which he had prepared should be added at present to the Bill; that it should be committed pro fornut, and or dered to be reprinted, and on Monday next be should move that it be recommitted any day which would appear most convenient to their Lordships. On the inntisn of the F.ail of Lartizau.st.r., a clause was added to the Bill, ordering that copies of ail Acts of &derunt be presented to both lluu.es of Parliament. Vis c ount 11 LIE toured that hi, not opposing the clatt..e at p..:,ent would net be consideted as depriving hint of the right if hr should dt Bill, bad much pleasure ,in Assur ing their Lordship s - that it would not be necessary for him to occupy much of their time. Heshould, however, think he did not treat them with proper respect if he did not lay before them, as far as it was in his power, the state of the law as it now was on the subject to which he had called their attention. When he said the state of the law, he did not mean that there exited any positive enactments on that point, for then there would be no necessity for his Bill; but he meant as far as it was deducible by ana logy from the practice of the Courts. He should then consider the moral justice of tle use of such dangerous weapons, and should in the last place propose their abo lition, as a means of preserving Game. The Noble Lord then alluded to the unequal manner in which of fences of the same nature were sometimes punished. Sup pose the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack were to pick his pocket of a Bank note, he would receive a heavy punishment; but he might go to the Bank and take a note from a heap with comparative impunity.— Ile then cited a great number of cases in which actions had been brought, and damages recovered, by persons Whose dogs had been killed, or ssho had been injured themselves, by the effect of spring guns set in the pre .erves of individuals. Ile quoted the opinion of Lord Elleahorotigh, that it was not competent for any per son to have recourse to contrivances calculated to inflict wounds or even death, on a mere trespasser. In some cases, whete it was proved that pi evioas notice had been given to the individuals who had afterwards suffered, damages had been refused, but it was evident, from the opinion expressed by the Judges at the time, that they were reluctantly compelled to decide in that man ner by the state of the law as it existed, and not ac cording to the justice of the case. The Noble Lord the,- reprobate 1 tile practice of forming preserves, and accumulating Game tor unnatural slaughter in one par ticular place, as it held out additional temptations to the poor to commit trespasses. Was it necessary that they should thus lock up such a quantity of Game for the sake of two or three days shooting, and in order that they might boast of the number they had killed ? Ile was happy to find that the Noble and Learned Earl on the Woolsack went as far as himself on that sub ject, and on the impropriety of setting Spring-guns for the protection of preserves. That was against the principle of the law, which said that no man could do indirectly what it was not legal for him to do directly. And that principle was also violated in cases where pre vious notice had been given, for still it was doing indi rectly what a man had no right to do directly, as it was well known, that no one would put a gun to his shoulder and shoot a poacher. It would be better, in fact, that the law should be made to declare that poachers might be shot ; for be was sure that there was no Noble Lord, or no individual in the country who would do it. But supposing that such a man should be found, still he would exercise some discretion. He would first ascertain whether the poacher came really with the intention of stealing game, and even at the moment of pulling the trigger, he might relent.— There were all these chances for the poacher's life, but %hen spring guns were employed, there were none of them. It would be preferable, therefore, to enact a . law to enable individuals to shoot poachers,than to allow the continuance of the use of spring guns. One of his objects in proposing the present Bill, was to guard against those accidents, involving innocent persons, which were occurring daily. All the Judges had de clared that no man could do that directly which he could not do indirectly. No man could put a gun on his 11°111 dc r and shoot a man in his cover, and if that could not be done, why shoot a poacher by the means of spr r g guns? Independent of that consideration, it wae hard the innocent should suffer for the guilty. Nume rous accidents had occurred. Only last night a County Member came to him to request he would not mention the name of a person who had been implicated in an accident of that sort. He had abstained from mention ing that case, and many others, because he would not injure the feelings of individuals. It did not follow that a man must have an illegal purpose in going into a wood. A friend of his riding to London a few days since, encountered a snow-storm ; the hat of his friend was nearly blown into a cover, and he afterwards re flected on the danger to which he must have been ex posed, in case he had followed his hat into the cover. If he had entered the wood be must have been shot, as he afterwards discovered that spring guns were set exactly on the spot. Those who set spring guns said they did it from humanity. He was bold enough to inform the House and the public that he was a barba rous wretch who never would shew his humanity in that way. Some, he admitted, gave notice that spring guns were set, without setting them. He did not like ,that trifling. It led to poaching when the deception was discovered. He thought that, however, not so bad as the act of those who really did set spring guns without any deception. He saw a board not long since with the following inscription:—" Spring Guns set in this Wood—No Joke." It had been suggested since he came to the '-louse, that many had been obliged to set spring guns for the preservation of their lives and pro perty. He only wished to make his Bill ripply to setting spring guns for preserving game.—ln the Committee the Bill might be amended. Lord ORFORD wished to know how the Noble Lord would consent to amend it? ______ Lord SUFFIELD said, if any Noble Lord would supply a clause for setting guns for the protection of property, in such a way that the public safety could not be ends°. gyred, he sloild nut object to it. By property he did not mean game iu exposed situations. The Bill was then read the second time,without any opposition. Adjourned to Monday. . - . ut ,y•tsition at a future stage, if hr should see Ca ;e to do so. lle Muse then resumed, the Ileport was received, and the Bill ordered to be reprinted. On the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the Un- lawful &lei. ties bill being read, • Lord ELLEN 1301101:G11 said, that be felt so strongly thu inexpediency of the measure, unaccompanied as it was by (loco- , rents to prove its necessity, that he should oppose it on the third reading, whenever that might be. The LAI then went throu b h a Committee. The House resumed, and the itei ort having been received, The III.rI of LIVERPOOL, gave notice, that he should propo e . the third reading on Monday next, anJ moved that the Lords be sunimoned.—Ordered.

Leave was given to bring in a Bill for erecting a new Corn Es ch.inge in the City of London. Lord LOWTHER proposed that the Teesdale Roadway Bill should be read a second time. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a Mtition from the Citizens of London, in favour of the above Rail Road Bill. Out of 110 landed proprietors, there were but l>f dissentients. Mr. DAVENPWLT objected to the bill. He should never consent to have Gentlemen's grounds cut up by such infernal ma chines as were employed on Rail Roads. Mc. L:1 NIB!

Lord PALMERSTON moved that the House should go into a Committee on the Army Estimates. The SPEAKER having left the Chair, Lord PALMERSTON proceeded to lay befcire the Committee a statement of the military expenses for the year. An increase of the military expenses of the pre sent year would be rendered necessary in consequence of an intended addition of 1.5,000 men to the existing force of the country. The amount of the actual aug mentation would, however, be but 10,000 men (Officers included) as the Veteran 'Battalions would be reduced ; and of the force to be raised, 5819 were for the East In dies. The additional expense for the augmentation would come to £229,000. There would be no augmentation of the Staff. The expenses of the public Military De partments had been expected to allow a reduction, but the transfer of the military accounts for Ireland had rendered an additional number of Clerks necessary in his Lordship's Office. The union of the Irish with the English department caused much trouble at its first introduction; the expenses of this additional labour compelled his Lordship to call for about 10001. for the payment of an additional' number of clerks. How ever, as they were required merely for a temporary purpose, they would not have any claim to allow ances on their retiring. The estimate for the Military College was increased by 17001. In the item of Gene ral Officers, these was a diminution of 17,0001. The estimate of the charge of full-pay for reduced or retired Officers was also less than that of last year ; so was the estimate fur half-pay and military allowances to the same class of Officers. The charges of the pensioners of Chelsea College had increased, as also those of the Military Asylum, the allowances on the Compassionate List, Superannuation Allowances, and Pensions to Offi cers' Widows. The estimate of the chorge of three Royal Veteran Battalions was less than that of the pre ceding year. He would then proceed to state the grounds on which the augmentation of force had been considered necessary. The Noble Lord then eloquently alluded to the general prosperity and happiness and glory of the country, and was happy to find that he land at present was in a state of calm. and contentment, and increasing prosperity. Ireland had been lest for tunate than most countries for some period, but he was glad to see a happy dawn appearing, and some rays of brighter omen breaking upon that fine island. Ile trusted that the transactions of the other evening, begun so au spiciously, and that held out such glorious hopes to that country, would be finally triumphant—(Loud cheers) and he was sure its success would for ever secure the peace, the prosperity, and the tranquillity of Ireland— (Cheers). He was glad there were more cheerful pros pects for Ireland; and he would say, when these esti mates were framed they had no reference to that coun try—and the augmentation required had nothing to do with Ireland, nor was it ever intended or thought that it should. The causes of the augmentation were com pletely external, and it was required by our colonial establishments. They had more Colonies, settlements, and extensive foreign pos%essions than any nation in the world. There was not a region, from the most northern parts of America to the most distant parts of Asia, ' where British enterprise had not found a field for its ex ertions—either in the extension of its commerce, or the exercise and glory of its arms; therefore, he called for the amount of troops for the protection of those Colo ' vies and their interests. He thought it was essential that the House should grant it, for the augmentation was indispensable. It was necessary to send reiuf ate• nsents, and the present state of the army was such, that it was impossible to send a reinforcement, without strip : ping other Garrisons or Colonies; When the Burmese • war broke out, they had no other means of sending a reinforcement, but stopping five Regiments under or ' ders for embarkation for Europe, and which were ' on foreign service for many years—(Hear).—He thought he had proved an augmentation necessary,' ' and there were three modes of making it ; the first was, ' by adding so many rank and file to each company ; 1 the second was, by raising new regiments ; and the third was, by adding companies to the existing regi ments. The first would be the cheapest, because it would be without the expense ofOfficers; but there would ' be no disposable reserve for relief. Having the addi ' tional regiments would answer the latter purpose, but that mode would be expensive from the sup port of Officers and the Staff. The adding of comps ' nies s -therefore, had the advantages of comparative cheap ness, and of giving relief by a body of reserve. The regiments at present consisted of eight companies. , He proposed to add two, thus making ten. He would divide them into two portions—two battalions; six companies of these would be on a higher scale, and contain 560 mea ; these would be the service battalion. The other four companies were intended for the reserve, 1 , and would amount to 224 men. When a Regiment was ' ordered on foreign service, only the service battalion went abroad; the reserve remained at hon.e, and did duty in the depots and garrisons, and in recruiting. Thus the garrisons on foreign stations would be pro ' tected, and would be rendered more effective. A Regi ment for a long time on a foreign station was much affected by the climate. It an Officer suffered in his health, and required leave of absence, it often happened that he was not at the expiration able to rejoin his Regi ment ; thus he caused great inconvenience, by imposing severe and additional duties on other Officers—Officers from this cause were compelled to go on half-pay, or i seek at a great loss for exchange with others. This 1 . arrangement would remove all these disadvantage— for if an Officer was forced to come home from ill I health, he might remain in the depot, and another ft esh and healthy Officer sent out in his place; and thus he would be saved from all the personal disadvantages of exchange. The invalid also who was sent home would ' he employed in the depot ; and another man, fresh and effective, sent to the service battalion. This arrange trent, be thought, possessed many advantages; and I, e believed, if unhappily the present state of the country was changed, and they looked to it with a , view to war, it would be a very effective means of quikcly making a large augmentation. Part of his arrangement was to disband the Veteran Battalions. He thought this a matter of right. He wished these , brave old men to enjoy their pensions for the rest of their lives; and he knew, if it was necessary again to call them to duty, they would with the iliost cheerful alacrity obey the order. Ile begged dis tinctly to state to the House, that his asking this aug mentation from it had no reference to foreign nations. Tire same happy relations existed between tins country and the nations on the Continent. This country, from '" its valour, and bravery, and mighty successes in war, and by its firm and liberal and wise policy in peace, had raised itself to a pitch of wealth and greatness un p a r d a ll yetel e s t, ea did n d s n t o o t o d looka bo t v o e se a l n f. y a g o g t I ran e a r n t r i i i a s t e i m o nation t o lt t: eat t t h to a 7 . the general welfare and universal happiness of main kind—(Hear, hear). Then this great nation should take care that every part of it was protected, and that its settlements and Colonies were in a state of safety and prosperity ; they ought to regulate their conduit on these principles. He therefote requested the augmen tation from the Committee; it was not too much, if they looked to the protection of their Colonies—to the extent of their territories, and to the honour and glory of the Em pire—(Cheers).—After iord Palmerston sat down, the motion was read—" That no more than 15,000 (and we believe 818 men) be granted to the King for the augmentation of his Military Est,A bli.hment." Colonel DAVIES said, during last year an iocrease had been made in the Army to the amount of 5000 men, and now it was proposed to make a further in crease of 16,000 men, making in all 21,000 men as the increase of our peace etablishment. This he would object to as a permanent eitablishment, but at present he deemed it advisable to give his vote for the aug mentation, lest a war should ensue upon the liberality of our principles. The Colonial garrisons should be re lieved, but he was of opinion they were all too large. Mr. HOBHOUSE was disappointed at the total ab sence of any reasons for the augmentation in the army. It was a little too much f ir the Noble Lord to say, that the increase was not called for by the nature of oar re lations with other Powers, when one of out allies was at the mercy of another ; when in fact Spain was not merely at the mercy, but in the actual occupancy of France. With respect to the Burmese war, now that it had been entered into, prudently or otherwise, it mat tered not, he was of opinion that if twenty-five or thirty thousand men were requisite, they should be sent out; but wiry not send them from those u hich wet e now at home, and which were unnecessary to maintain the tran quillity of Great Britain? Sr R. WILSON felt no constitutional objection to the proposed augmentation in the present instance. He had visited the Garrison of Gibraltar wi:h the greatest satisfaction at the manner in which the duty was per formed as far as it could be done by a garrison ineffi cient for its proper defence. At that time there were French frigates in the Bay, arid a large French force in the neighbourhood; and he could assure the House that the garrison was not sufficient for the performance of the duties. lie willingly gave his need of praise to the Government for their recognition of the independ ence of the South American States, and he them efore thought that the increase asked for should be conceded ; and io giving his vote for the augmentation. he thought he obliged the Government to par sue the same line of conduct which hail in this instance met with the approbation of the country. Mr. Secretary PEEL - said, it was unfair to accuse the House of negligence in not attending the debates of that evening, when, in fact, all were acquainted with the necessity of the proposed augmentation, and even the Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken on the other side had borne testimony themselves to the necessity of the proposed increase. With respect to the quetions proposed by the Hon. Member for Westminster, he thought they were foreign to the measure before the House, and in the absence of hi; Right Honourable Friend Mr. Canning, he thought it could neither be considered indecorous to that Right Honourable Mem ber nor to the House if he declined giving any answer to the questions. Mr. CALCR AFT, upon reviewing the state of Eu rope, was firmly of opinion, that the augmentation was not only necessary, but rather too small for the present exigencies of the country. Mr. BERNAL was of opinion, that as long as we have colonies we must have soldiers to protect them, and it was extremely desirable that our Colonial garri sons should be kept in the most efficient state—he should therefore vote for the proposed augmentation. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON could not give a vote for one shilling, while the country was indebted to the amount of 800,000,0001. If he thought Ministers re quired any assistance to follow up the liberal policy adopted towards South America, if it were the last shilling in the Treasury, he would vote it to them, and satisfactorily account for such conduct. Sir J. HOPE defended the manner in which it was proposed to make the augmentation. General GASCOYNE objected to the proposed plan of making the augmentation. Mr. M. FITZGERALD concurred in the vote re. quited ; as it was necessary to put our garrisons in a proper state of defence, the details might safely be re ferred to those, who from their pursuits were best qua lified to judge of them. He understood. that our fortresses were inadequately garrisoned; and no consti tutional question was involved in the - vote. Lord PALMERSTON said, that there would be a double advantage from the mode of relief proposed. Sir R. WILSON thought the wounded Officers should be put on the same footing as the hail-pay Officers, and be paid quarterly. Lord PALMERSTON would communicate the sug gestion to the Paymaster-General of the Forces. Sir C. LONG had no reluctance on his part to accede to the suggestion. Mr. J. SMITH had to complain of the parsimony of Government in depriving wounded Officers of their pensions. Those Officers had understood that their pensions were for their lives, and not during the pleasure of the Crown, as there had been no limitation in the original grant. Mr. TREMAYNE knew many cases of great hard ship Irani the uitbdrawing of pensions. In one case, the journey of an Officer to London. bad cost bins half his income. After a few observations from Lord l'Af.assitsvori, and in expla nation from Mr. Joys: SMITH, the Noble Lord moved the follow ing Resolutions For the Pap of the Land Forces of his Majesty up to the 24th March . . £476,024 7 0 The same service and period for Ireland • 185,291 13 0 The Charge of the Land Forces of Great Britain from the 24th March to the 24th December, inclusive . . . 1,755,411 0 0 The same service for Ireland • . 646,243 18 0 , For the Officers of the Staff, exchi4ve of India 93,270 17 0 The same fur Ireland . . 24,581 0 0 For Public Departments of the Army . 116,470 13 0 For Medicine and Officers of that Department 13,270 14 0 The same for Ireland . • 5,188 17 0 Fur the Volunteer Service of Great Britain, IB2S 128,000 0 0 For the same service in Ireland . 19,305 12 0 For Regiments in India . . 785,871 8 0 Recruiting in India ' . . 27.3:38 5 5 Fur the Royal Military College . 13,11 , 9 9 0 Pay of General Officers nut being Culunels 151,52:1 16 0 For Garrisons in England • . 29,832 6 10 For the same service in Ireland . . 5,491 0 . 0 Full Pay for Retired Officers . . 131.000 0 0 Half-pay and Military Allowances . 800,048 2 6 Foreign Half-pay . • 109 710 0 0 In Pensioners of Chelsea awl Kilmainham . 45,079 0 0 Out-Pensioners, Chelsea . . 1,240,913 * * 911 Royal Military Asylum • . 24,834 14 0 Widows* Pensions . . . 135,349 16 0 Compassionate List . . 186,608 13 u 4
