ADlDlttait TO TUC IWIO,--Tfla LATE DUKE or TORE „Mr. Secretary PEEL commenced by obsereleg, that in the interval which bad elapsed between the period of the present re-assembling .of Patliansent. and its late sepatatioa, the country had, by death, sustained the loss of the first Prince of the realm....a . tritiee who, if he ha lived, ',Mid in the probable course of nature have filled the Throne. Under such circumstances the House would have been induced at any time, and withom'any ettra• ordinary qualifications, to have respectfully addressed the Throne in terms expressive of sympathy and distress, horn those feelings which loose from, a convictionAltat no other form of Government than that which at reseht misted was congenial to the genius and character of thi people. and to the preservation and continuance of their hap?iness. He could not. however, help feeling, that the circumstances under which he felt himself called upon to move this address, in consequence of the death of the Duke of York, were peculiar. This address, if acquit:mei in by the House, would be presented to one who bad associated with the lamented Prince in'early life-..who had lived in constant habits of affectionate intimacy with him, and who had watched over his dying hours with tenderness and affection ; and he (Mr. Peel) was convinced, that no consolation was better calculated to assuage the affliction of his Majesty, than the as surance of that House that they_were sharers in .the general respect of the country for the memory of the Duke of York, and in the general regret for his decease. `Mose feelings of regret which must have existed under any citeunsuances, wee not a little increased by the re. trospect of the past services of his late Royal Highness. On a domestic scare they mast also be great : the bent- 1 volence and kindness which characterised the late Duke would have graced the life of a person in any situ.» tion. but they threw a peculiar lustre en that of a Prima jja (Mr. Peel) did not stand there to meow a "studied eulogium upon the Duke of Y ork. { It had been well observed by an Honourable Geotleamp l opposite, upon a somewhat similar occasion. that Ise bowed panegyrics es the dead were better suited m despotic countries than to those which enjoyed the free. don of discussion; and nothing could be more unlike the manly character eftht Duke of York, than to ascribe to him qualities which he did not possess. The truth, however, he trusted that be should be permitted to es. press-and he was convinced that be did not transgress the truth, when he said that, as Commaader-in-Chief, his late "mai Highness had improved the discipline and I considerably raised the moral character of the army.—, lie did not transgress the truth, when he said that the Duke of York possessed qualities which eminently fitted him for the discharge of his high duty, and that he had lest we opportunity of turning them to advantage in the discharge of that duty. He had been a soldier fur 46 yeast, and with the exception of a very short inter. oal, he had held the post of Commander-in-Chief for a space of thirty-two years. He .(hlr. Peel) very well knew that no man was capable of appreciating what the Duke of Tot k had effected in his capacity as Cons tnander-in-Chtsf, except that man had made himself acquainted with the state, the discipline, and the con stitution of the army. when the Duke entered upon his office, and was likewise acquainted with its state, when be. through death, relinquished his command. He could never forget the last words which be (Mr. Peel) had from the Royal Prince only nine day, before his , death. When be (the Duke) received the news of a part of our trrops having landed at Lisbon. he exclaimed JO a faint, but triumphant voice, " I with that the country could compare the state of the brigade 1 which hag landed at Lisbon in 1817, with the state, of the btigade which landed at Ostend in 1794: 1 These were the last words which he (Mr. Peel) heard • from the quivering lips of the Duke of York. As he bad before observed, the Duke bad been for many years a soldier, and be must not forget to add, that when he came to office, be declared that no man should for the future labour under the die. advantages which he had bad to contend with. Pro fessional men, he would again say, were alone able to understand all the beaches which the Duke bad con (erred upon the army. If they were muntented; it would be necessary to go through matey details of various regulations connected with religious duties, with military schools, with points of discipline, and with the security of fair hopes of promotion to every man in the service. But it was unnecessary to Cater' into such details. It was sufficient to recollect, that, upon the Duke of Yelles anemias the office of rinses-i madder in Chief, every an knew that jestics would be dohe hins, and it was by this, gad not by the minute regulations of discipline. that t English army had ob. i ts tanned that plastic energy wh . distiognisbed the free soldier from another.

He observed that them Estimates were abowrie.COCl. of the Estimates of last year; bat he wished to be in. fixated if ear resources were equal to this expenditure; and if not, was it kneaded to increase the amount of debt under which the country groaned, or to redoce the expendituee? -He thought, helots they proceeded, it would be better to have the whole at one view. The CUANCELLOtt of the EKCHEQUER said, if he were to answer the Hen. Member satisfat:orily, he must enter into a full explanation of that which tit no distant pet iod he intended to lay Wore them. This he. was not now prepared for. Colonel DAVIS said. he would take this opportunity. of withdrawing a motion, of which he ital given aoticer, the object of which was to lifer the Estimates to as ,Committee up stairs. This was dose that no impedi. menu might be offered to the noble course pursued by Mmisiers, for the effecting of a free tit te. Fa J. YORKE said, Ministers must have considered their re-' sources when contemplative: their espeaditure. Mr. NIABERLY etlieeN.S. Mr. CALCN AFT was oppored to any seduction of! the Navy at this period. He iecommended the adv. dos of anew means by which pearnotion In all the racks of the Navy aught be effected. as well as in the Army. The House then went Into a Committee. Sir tiEORGE CLERK to e, and said that he did , sot think it necessary to dwell at much length urn the Estimates be had to offer to the approbetioti of Committee. as they differed bat little from demo( k year. He would cenfiae his attention to the him h. whiet some alteration had talons place. The futhelek eldienesee between the Evinsates this year and of The . lests amount d only to 10.0901. The number of sea. 4mtri was the same, and-sts to the civil branches of the *ante they had upon former oecai;ons been reduced tti the lowest possible ;mown. From the altered situ anon of affairs in India, and the paci:c state of South Amanita, it had been anticipated that some Fedi:reties of the number of seamen would have beets practicable. bin Ilse aspect which European polities had recently issimed rendered it indispensible that at least as great 'II number should be kept up. The contest be- . tween Turkey and Greece required us to maintain * considerable force in the Levant. If he amid. Lk:any obection, therefore, it was rather that th e intended to be kept up was too little than too Misch. But, all things considered, it had been deter , mined to maintain the same force as that of last year. As the number . of men was the same, the estimate or wages would of course be the tame also. The expenses of the Victualling Office had experienced a diminution in consequence of the system which bad been adopted of sending out supplies of provisions to South America in Government transports; but from the same cause an in crease had taken place in the expenditure of the Trans port Board. To oppose to this diminution in. the ex peesns of the Victualling O ffi ce, there was an increase Ins the 'amount of 5,0001. on account elf increased sala ries to Clerks who, from length _cal service, were entitled to claim additional remuneration. In the Dock Yards there was an increase or micsbousaad pounds upon an outlay of 158,0001. Bin. the state of timber and of other naval stores were to be increased in an ac celerated ratio. On Half-pay and Pensions there was a 'mined°. of 15,0001. but in the charge for Widows' iiirririontabese was an increase on account of an addi. I number of claimants The new works which it bad bees thought expedient to undertake at Woolwich bock-yard, had occasioned an augmentation in the estimate.

It had also been determined to erect *Sir mills and to grind hour for the use of the navy, is that supplied by contractors had been found to be greatly adulterated. There was a charge of 7,0001. for the erection of a Naval Hospital and Marine iftimary at Chatham. This would supersede the eseessity for an hospital ship, which was attended sill as expense , of 4,0001. per annum, part of which visidd of move - be saved.

It was true, if they were to un dertake to be the arbiter of nations, to redress all wrongs. to build up and to put down Constitutions at their pleasure, that 60.000 men, instead of 80,000, would not be enough. However, as they were committed to sire assistance of Portugal he would not resist the vote.— He was desirous that the naval service of the country should be placed upon a respectable footing. But he should always be opposed to the maintenance of a great military establishment during peace, as calculated to lead to uaneasssary interference bs their part and afford ing encouragement to war. The whole world united could not bring forward sncb a navy as they possessed , and draining their pecuniary resources was the most effectual method of disabling them from carrying es war. The additional expense ou account of the Victual. ling Department was to be commended rather this objected to. They had formerly been tali that 1000 mere men were required, on account of lathe and South America; but new these causes had ceased to operate. and yet so sedeedas was is. tended.

Mr. BERRIES rose on the order for going into a Committee on the Postage Duties Bill, and stated that the measure was to remove irregularity in the payment of piaster for letters in Ireland. For instance, a !tiler to Limerick, which was 285 miles, was two shilling and , a penny. The same distance in England would only be charged at the rate of one shilling and a penny..- His hope was, that the time would shortly come when them would not be two Post-offices, but one for bulb countries. The Government bad thought it advisa ble not to adopt any general regulation whilst the subject was under the consideration of a Committee appointed to examine that particular head of ser vice. There was, however, one inconvenience which was % to be remedied. A tax on invoices transmitted upon a single sheet was felt as a hardship by merchants— Something on that head would be done. It was also right to put the postage of letters in Ireland upon the same footing as postage in England. Letter* in Ireland paid less for postage than in England. There was no other reason for the difference, except the difference in the value of currency. It bad hot been deemed ex pedient to make a sodden change, thereby placing tie postage If heti countries int the same feethig. It was, however, proposed in the Blifbefore the House, to iceman the sate of postage of Weal Is Ireland's' a small degree. The Hon.

At the time there were two engine men, one of the cap tains, and some sump-men near the place, but happily they escaped without minus injury, though the boiler, composed of tbe thickest plate iron, was rent in pieces; the roof and walls of the boiler-house were blown to an amazing distance, and the boiling water, Ile. show ered into the valley in a manner that for some seconds exhibited the picture of a drnse cloud, which hid the objects over which it rested, from the eye of those who saw it from a distance.
