duced. With regard to the Staff Corps, it contained numerous well trained and valuable Officers, and Gould not be dispensed with. Such skilful Officers could not, without such a corps, be obtained in mo-' ments of emergency. The Honourable Gentleman was in a great error in regard to his notions about the recruiting service; for, it would be very detri mental to the discipline of the corps, if Officers were to be detached upon the recruiting service. The Hon. Gentleman himself had said, that when he was on that service the recruiting always went on better when he was absent from the recruiting party —(A laugh).— The Riding Schools were attended with great benefit, because they introduced a new system of riding into the Army. The Honourable Gentleman might re collect what had been once said by a General Officer respecting a Regiment of Hussars :—that it had only one defect, which was, that the men did not know how to ride. But such a defect as this was removed by the establishment in question. As to the Quarter master-General's' Department, the Hon. Gentleman ought to know, that without it the internal arrange ments of the Army, and all the regulations respect ing the quartering of soldiers, could newer ba carried on. With respect to the number of Officers employed in Ireland, it must be recollected, that in that country the force was much more scattered than in England, and that circumstance incteased the difficulty of communication, so as to require more Officers.— The [lon. Gentleman talked of the number of Offi cers in the West India Islands; but the very same reason as existed in Ireland made it necessary to have those numerous Officers; namely, that of thelorce being scattered abroad in small parties in various islands. As to what the Honourable Gentleman said . about the expenses of the War Office, feit* thany years the number of persons in that Office was not. sufficient for the accumulation of the business, and the consequence was, a great enibarrassment in Cie settling of the accounts, so that it becarr ^ abso lu:ely necessary to appoint more—(hear, hear). — lie next took notice of the great convenience which arose from the establishment of the lithograr press, as well as the saving of time and expense to the War Office. Ile also defended the establishment of the Military College, in which a considerable saving took place last year. There were about 200 vacant commissions every year; about 60 or 70 cadets were appointed to commissions. The Hon.! Gentleman was in an error respecting the attend ance of Pr ofessows in the College ; for, by the new arrangements, they were to attend six or eight hours a day. Ile could assure the I lonourable Gentleman, that the Army had derived great advantage from the young men sent to it from the College.—lt was of the utmost consequence that officers should be well in s!ructed in military discipline, on entering the Army ; for an Army could litv , :r be gond, unless the thlicers were skilled in th: theory and practice of their profession. Young men could not be educated so well in private academies as in this College; and without the College, young men intended for the military profession would be obliged to go to the Academies of France and Gerntany, a measure wine!! every Gentlenum who heard him must disamlrove of; fur they must all wish to see British Officers With Erin ,h edneetion, feelings, and habits ; or. the same principle that a College was etablished in Ireland, for the education of those Ro rr le Catholic Caergymen who were to instruct the peasants of that country, and to prevent them from going for education to foreign countries, where they might imbibe notions different from what should be their own national feelings and habits. As to the Barrack Department, the lionoureble Gentleman's observa tions had no foundation whatever and he had laid no ground for wttich the Ileum ought to grant the inquiry moved for by There had been Committees and Commissions repeatedly apeointed by the-House to inquire into affairs of the Army, and th y had made the most luminous and satisfactory reports. The persons composing those Committees had shewn as much la borious attention to the subject they entered upon, as any Committee he could appoint; and if such Committee now chosen, it would feud nothing which had not already been fully irvestigated and cleared up. He therefore saw no reason wilem ever for such a Committee as that now sought for. The Ho lm:treble Gentleman had alluded to our distresses and financial e:r.berrassments,but in considering the amount of our burdens we should not forget under what circumstances they were incurred. Ereaged in an arduous struggle, single-handed and unaided, net only against all the Powers ut leurope, but with the confederated forces of the civilized world, our object was not inertly military glory—not the temptation of territorial acquisition—r.ot even what might be considered a more jiistiliable object, the assertion of violated rights and the vindication of national honour, but we were contending for our very existence as an independent nation. When the political horizon was thus clouded—when no human foresight could point out from what quarter relief was to be ex pected—when the utmost effort of national energy was not to despair—he would put it to the Ito:mumble Gentlemen whether, if at that period it could have been shewn that Europe might be delivered from its thraldom, but that this cuntingent good must be purchased at the price of a long and patient endurance of our domestic burthens, we should not have accepted the conditions with gratitude? lie lamented as deeply as the I letiourable Gentleman, the burthens of the country, but it should be re collected, that they were the price which we had agreed to pay for our freedom and independence—l . /leer, hear, hear). CALCRA FT said, that his Honourable Friend who made this motion, had pressed upon the consideration of the Clause various statements, which would induce him to take an 1 active part in supporting his motion. From the manner in which the motion was treated by the Noble Lord, it would have been concluded that the Honourable Mover eves seeking to do something which was exceedingly injurious or disgraceful to the Government. But the truth was, that he (Colonel Davies) merely called upon the I louse to examiae minutely every item of etpenditure in a certain establishment, with a view to dis cover where a possible reduction might be made of the present enormous burdens of the country • and, if it appeared that the.c burdens could not be lightened, to snake them more tole rable by Parliament's manifesting the wish to reduce them, without agreeing to the propositions of his Honourable Friend respecting the reductions of the Cavalry Officers, he would be permitted to say, that he (Colonel lkivies) had taken a labo rious and detailed view of the whole subject ; and, after shewing a probability of reductions, sought for a Committee to inquire into the correctness of his statements. The Noble Lord had slid, that nothing was more easy, where arguments could be brought forward in support of any inquiry, than to state these arguments, and to obtain the concurrence of the House to the proposition. It happened, however, very unfortunately, that ' prepositions, when brought forward at his (Mr. Calcraft's) liie of the House, were seldom successful ; and they who had ape rienee in that House, would easily remember] that etymons, however solid, when pressed by Gentlemen ea the Opposidoet side, so far from producing conviction in their opponents, were generally very quickly disposed of by the simple recipe of a Ministerial majority. In the present instance, the Noble Lad had advanced but little in confutation of the reasoning of Honourable Friend. The Noble Lord spoke but once a-year, and when he did speak, it was to be admitted that he made a - ee ry good speech !—(lfenr, from the Minieteriai benches.) The Noble Lord, however, proved the best paid orator of the day, for he received several thousands of pounds for merely making one speech in the year ! If, after the statements made by his I lonourable Friend, and in the absence of any fact er reasoning to weaken the efficacy of those statements, the House were to refuse to the People an inquiry into the possibility of retrench ment, such a course would, he was sure, tend to the destruction of all confidence in the disposition of Parliament to lesson the burdens of the Country. Sir 11. PARNELL said, that his Honourable Friend had over-rated the eloquence of the Noble Lord, for in the last yeas he had contented himself with submitting the Estimates without ntakirg a speech ! In adverting to the immense increase of the expense of the Civil Establishments connected with the Army, he stated, that the salaries in the Conumander-in-Chid's Wines animated, in the year 1793, to Ell ; and that in 11109,they had Increased to 47,424. He concluded by supporting the amnion. Colonel DAVIES replied, and said, that if tie House were not wholly inattentive to the interests of the Country, they would promote an inquiry, which was calculated to effect so brie saving in the Public Expenditure. Colonel GRANT begged to offer some observations to the House as a military man. He objected to any decrease of the Cavalry Establbduttent, and contended, that nothing was mete useful than to keeti'up a large skeleton of Officers and Non-nons missionyd Officers, who might be ready for active service upon future emergencies. In alluding to the forge-carts, which bad been objected to on the ground of unnecessary expenditure, he observed, that they were, on many occasions, of the greatest service, and that much distress had been experienced from the want of them in the retreat of Sir John Moore from Coruana. Mr. ELLICE thought that some inquiry ought to be made as to the necessity of keeping up the unheard of Military force now established in this country. He thought, too, that some inquiry ought to be made into the ability of the Colonies to sup port the troops stationed abroad. There was also another mo tive why he voted in favour of the motion—we had recently added considerably to our Military force for local purposes; he thought it necessary to inquire how far the continuance of that additional force *as necessary, at a time too when the Country was borne down by a load of debt and taxation. The House then divided— For the Motion - Against it 45 _ - - I!5 Majority against it - - —SO Mr. NEVlLLEPresented six Petitions from the Landholders of different quarters of Berkshire, complaining of agricultural distresses, and praying relief. The Honourable Member felt it his duty to state, that the Petitioners were men of the most re spectable character; he had conversed with many of them as this subject, and had no doubt but that taey were severely op pressed by the grievances of which they complained.—laid ao the table. Ur. DCGDALE presented three Petitions of a similar na ture from different Landholders in the County of Warwick, praying relict —Laid on the table. Lord STANLEY presented a Petition from the Merchants and Manufacturers of the County of Warwick, complaining of the late T..x imposed on the Importation of Foreign Wool, par ticularly that of the coarser kind. Petitioners stated, that this tax amounted to a prohibition, and was not at all productive to the Revenue. It went to drive the former manufacturers of this article into the cotton trade, and deprived many labourers of emplOyment.—Litid on the table. Mr. BLACKBURN presented a similar Petition from the Me reit:tots and Manufacturers of Lancashire.—Laid on the tabk. On the motion of Mr. M. A. TA Ilyoß, the Stage Coaches Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. LiTf Is:Fox gave notice, that he should, on the 3.1 of June, introduce " a motion to prevent the payment of labourers' wages by truck." Ile originally intended to apply this motion to particular trades, but he now thought it better to make it of a snore general nature. Sir T. A CLA ND presented a Petition from Landholders in the County of Devon, complaining of the importation of corn, duty free. Petitioners stated, that the Agricultural Interest was reduced to the greatest distress. The Honourable Baronet said it was not his intention to enter into any of those partial discus sions on the subject from which little information could be eli cited. All he wished for was inquiry, aid that he hoped would nut be refused. Ile could assure the I louse, that the Petitioner were not only numerous, but most respectable.—The was laid on the tabk. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK presented a Petition from cemitt Occupiers of Land in the County af Bedford. praying re lief Irons the diatresses under which they labour..:.—laid on the table.. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Tea otlock. Lour ISAMILTON'S MOTION ON TOP APPOINTS( PIPTII DAMON OF Tile ZICCIISQUIR LN SCOTLAND. While strangers were excluded from the House of Commons, on Lord A. IlassisroN's motion, on Monday, the debate was renewed, and a number of most important particulars came to light. Mr. W. K. DoncLas (brother of the Marquis of Qemms xxaav) strongly supported Lord A. Mimeos's second Resolu tion ; declaring the reluctance be felt at opposing the Govern ment, with which he generally voted, and always desired to vote; but, he added, that he had been in Scotland lately, and could bear witness to the " universal feelings of surprise and repre " hen►ion excited all over the country, by the extraordinary " haste shewa in filling up the vacancy." It was also mated by Mr. BROUGHAM, in the course of his speech, that the concur -1 rence of the Four Chiefs in recommending five Barons to be' continued, merited very little attention, because of these four,' three were placed in peculiar circumstances, the Chief Baron having only just been appointed, and the Lord President being Sir P. Mt:altar's brother-in-law. He added, that in England it was a known fact, that the Equity side of the Court of Exche quer had never been equally divided since Sir R. WALeout's tune. Mr. CaNsisu protested that the resignation of Mr. Aram, and subsequent appointment of Sir P. Alimass, were events wholly unexpected, and not in contemplation of the Government when the Bill respecting Mr. Aorim's salary was spoken of last summer. But Lord A. Hasty-von reminded the House that he had himstlf brought these matters before them last summer, in connexion with the Report of the Commissioners, then on the table, though not printed. To this no answer was made. LIST DP Tut MIXOLITY., Acland, Sir T. Gordon, Robert Phillips, G. jun. Astley, J. D. Graham, J. R. G. Ponsoaby, Hon. F.C. Allen, J. 11. Graham, Sandford Power, it.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1820. • The Quoates Birth-day has been this day observed at the different Public Offices, and other places under the immediate controul of the Executive, with the respect due to her MAJESTY'S station. This deter mination was, we understand, not adlie to without considerable doubt and embarrassment; but we are quite sure it is the course most gratifying to the great mass of the People, of every class. _ The distress experienced at present by the Mans. facturing and Agricultural classes occupied much of the attention of both Houses of Parliament last night. In the Upper House, a Petition, from Birmingham, was presented by Lord CALTHORPE, which was well received. The discussion to which it gave rise was. temperate and judicious. It seems to be the wish of the House, in inquiries into the cause of distress, with a view, if possible, to the attainment of reme dies, to keep the different topics distinct. This is wise. A general inquiry could lead to no practical result and yet, in the investigation of any one topic, such facts must be incidentally noticed, relative to others, as may ultimately furnish matter for separate inc uiry, without prejudice to any single topic of discussskn.. Earl STANHOPE moved for the appointment of a, Committee to inquire into the best means of giving Employment to the Poor, especially in the Manufac turing Districts. The doctrines advanced by' his Lordship seemed to be viewed by the House as in~ volving some contradictions —or, at all events, as set ting up as opposite, interests which cannot, with pro per views of political economy, be at all separated, viz. those of the Manufacturers a nd the Agriculturists. The Motion was negatived without a division. In the Commons, various Petitions were presented on behalf of the Agriculturists; and also Petitions I for the Repeal of the Duths on Foreign Wool. Mr. FINLAY presented a Petition from the Cham ber of Commerce of Glasgow, similar in its state. ments and prayer, to those that were lately presented by the Merchants, &c. of London and Edinburgh. Colonel Davies moved fur the appointment of a Select Committee to examine the Military Expendi ture, w hich now amounts 'to nearly Seven Millions, and ca which, lie alleged, 'a saving of at least Four Hundred Thousand Pounds might be effected, by having it differently modified. The Motion was ne. paved by a Majority of 80. The Army and Navy Estimates, for the current Year, have been printed, by order of the House of Commons: ARMY.

Fouts Fasurom.—Promenade dresses now 'consist of p," ,- *es and spencers; they are of silk, which is in general of !Le most substantial texture, and are lined with white sarsret.— There is little variety in trimmings ; they are principally err posed of an intermixture of satin and gauze, or else satin ar.l the same silk as the pelisse. Leghorn and silk bonnets see-a likely to be equally in estimation for the promenade; the Tatra are made to correspond with the pelisse or spencer with which they are to be worn, but a few are white. Both promenade and carriage bonnets are ornamented with artificial flowers, and some are very profusely trimmed under the edge of the brim, the French style, with gauze or blond intermixed with Ichi;c satin copes, or small wreaths of.flowers.
