He objected to the magnitude of our Military Establishments altogether ; btit, its the House had pledged itself to support the Crown in its interference in the affairs of Portugal, and we had thus undertaken ,to put everything to rights there, -he hesitated as, to, resisting the motion.

Gentleman (Hr. Home) was perfectly wrong. He thought his Right Hoo.-Frieed (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) had given each an explanation upon-this point, as would•have rendered it unnecessary to•go into tt again. At the close of 1895 there was, as the Committee knew, a great press epos the coned/..- there was thee a great deamod for 'mosey :to .pay Exchequer Bilk. It win chiselers Judged minimal't to avoid making issues from the Treasney to the Army or Navy until the rectifier circumstances of the time had passed away. The consequence was, that the current payments of the year were postponed, and the Exchequer kept as full as possible. The issue, therefore, which should have taken place in Decembee 1825,fe11 nponlB96,and was eonsequatly carried to the *opulent payments of the latter year. 'At the close of 1.99. however, another event pt °dead quite a contrary effect. It became necessary to send oat an army to Poriogal,and to pay that arary-in advance, as was al wait the case with respect to troops going on a foreign eepedidon. From these circumstances mins cleft that, withoot any real increase of expenditure, the 'illations made from January 1896 to Jemmy KM meat have appeared larger than in the cotvapoadieg period fain 1826 to 1827. It was not possible that greater et etinetecould be preserved freer year io pear. A shah amount; such as that referred to by the Hen. Gentleman (NirAttime) might be good for a period of yeass;:bist niefbrinstituting a comparison beanies the expendi• tutWel any two years. He was rather surprised to butt' the Hon. Gentleman say the expenditure was eager than the estimate. That could sot 'be so, be. catesathere war no power of expending more than bad beeirtoted. He was surprised low this matter. abet hating been so clearly explained by his Right Hon. Ftk.nd (the Chancellor of'the Escheqeer. arm a for. met' eight)'coold remain a matte of doubt or difficulty. 'Colonel DAVfES said, that unless theaceounts welt isttbded for the purpose of deception, he saw' no res. sot, :why they shoold.net bare an exellanatory approdit, for the purpose of making these matters clear. The caslreetount in Nis hand professed tit lie ars account cif tier tat il - receipts and expenditure, and be naturally concluded that • the sum stated was the total expendi. tee of 1826. 41r. , fd ARBELY said, the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. liefriet}knew that the Committee of 1816 were anxious to hate the accounts clearly brought before the House. in a balroce sheet. The Hon. Gentleman said, that in one year a larger sum might be expended than in the pteeeding. ft a • when this was the case, one would 'oppose that the expenditure in the succeeding year should be less. The Chancellor of the'Etchequer dealt with the accounts in a similar way last year. The House should take no other account but that before them, the cash account. Even now, however, it was not correct; for a great portion of it had reference to the Funded and Unfunded Debt, with which properly jihad nothing to do. He would shew the House how little Estimates were to be depended on. Last year the Chancellor of the Exchequercalculated on a surplus of 7140001. and iccurdinglylook off taxes to that amount, and nnw when they tame to their cash account, in stead of a surplus, they found.a deficiency of4,500;0001a This was not occasional by a deficiency of Revenue; foe' the deficiency of revenue was only 11,00,0004 It yea by the balance sheet before them. they must try the situation of the country.

On the Superannuation List be found a charge of not less than 20,0001. for per superannuated flues the Noble Lord's (Palmerston's) !Office. A Committee should be appointed to inquire into the manner in which superanouations took place. He begged to know from the Noble Lord, why the De puty Secretary et War retired last year ? Was he iota! pable of doing his duty? • Lord PALMERSTON said, he had JO often, from year coyote, gwee into the subject of this Estimate, that the Committee would, be trusted. excuse him if be stained front troubling them at any length. Manik. efficiency of this breach of the swim now, asses& pared with former times, was considered, the ciadd not appear excessive. 'Fite public wows owviiilile gsally and ably.served than at any former ` b. additional expense bad not been 'incurred withent the approbation of Parliament, end it would ham been impossible without it to furnish such ampieend various k• information as was Notated by the Hoenig ewer ale. purtment.

This proved theamtiodyelGoverumeat to make every 'eduction consistent with the wanted "jai* servic e. He would now come to the subject 'enrolled so by the How Gest. (Mr. Hume). When we large an establishment as bad • been kept up antis' tint war became unnecessary, provisilio wag to be made for those who bad served the public fee many years. 'The amount and scale of rismuneiation had been fixed by Act of Parliament. It Meet tiered upesche head 'Of the department to great this reermaden.

Sy thil :nuns the whole of the Principal Clerk's retiring allowance was saved, which could not be less than 1';0001. a year. The expense tol the public, therefore, was not so great as might at ins appear, .51;01. having been shred to the pubtsc 'in OM case, and 1;0001. in ancither. Had the 'Principal Clerk retired, and the'Diputy 'Secretary served out' his full time, the public would have to bear the retired' charge of both. In the course of ten years a great clearing would be e ff ected by the operation , and enable Wes to ' make ot'.er changes, the e ffec t of which behopedirdeli be to render the office more efficient. Colonel DAVIES said that, taking the pubic agronomists tow gather, the amount of superannuation was greater this year by 1,3401. than in 11122. Lord PA LMERSTON said, the altesetleta is the amount could not he very sendble in one or two years • but let the Hon.

Mr. HUME said there were two individuals on the retired list; one having. besides his superannuation al lowance, a pension of 5001. and another of 8004 There was no less a cum than +.3001. for the retired allowance to. Deputy Secretaries at War ; this, added to the salary of the present Secretary, made the whole charge to the public fot Deputy Secretaries alone 6,3001. It is net age, but incapacity,,that should form a ground for re-, , turn. He understood that, Mr. Merry, the late. Deputy Secretary, had no wish. to retire. If such were. really the case, it was. pretty clear that the interests of the public were net attended to. He wished to, know from the Noble. Lord whether Mr. Merry was fit for business siben he retired? Lord PALM ERSTQN said he.bad before dkniractly stated that Mr. Merry retired at his own, tarpon.

Sir ALEXANDER HOPE contended that the num ber of Cadets who entered the army was no criterion whatsoever of the utility of this Institution.

Mr.. MONCX. said be could see no reason why the country should be burdened with the expense of edu coin parties for the military rather thanfor any ether profession: hefelt no doebt bet that if this 'imitation were to be put down, we should still have an ample supply et efficient Officers educated at their ownexpense. air ALEXANDER HOPE said, that after parents had, at the call of the public, devoted their offspring to • severe.end hazardous profession, ,they bad a right to efirtatheit t h e public should sustain the charges of their education.

Cu es et this kind have, in 'the present day, unfortunamly become so numerous, and the cousequr ne-s of these have been so often !nadh the subject of discussias, .that I know not whether an Advocate would beater treat a subject of this kind by merely stating the (acts, or by esedeavoutins to point out the enormity isf.the offence, the greaunis of the injury, the wound it has indicted on the husband, end the breach of faith in thit moral order of society. I think I shall n tbe ae• eased of trespassing on the roles of good taste, whee l I Amigo from turning a case which has now become so biteatnen into a subject of address. Centlemen, t shall therefore make no such attempt, bet shall at once pro. teed simply astute the facts of the case, and to call oar you to mal.:e to my client that ample compensation to which the wrongs be has sustained entitle him. It is not unusual for the advocate, in eases of this kind, to dwell on the demerits of the defendant, even where they have no immediate relation to the plaintiff's caw. I do not intend, however, to pursue this course, and shall not enter into any discussion en tie peculiar conduct of the defendant, except so far as it immedi. ately relates to the injury that has been inflicted on the plaintiff; that injury is the only point you have to consider, and the only criterion by which you cm awed compensation. Sir Jacob Astley, the plaintiff, is descended from a noble faintly, and his mentors sat in the House of Lords: he is the po-sessor of olendid fortune, and of an unsullied reputation. During period be was pursuing Lis education at Oslord h became acquainted with the Lady who is the subject this action, the daughter of Sir H. Dun wood. a tirade. man of high honour and character. It was at the time of life when impressions of this sort take the deepest stout in the heart. His acquaintance was formed during t period when the impressions which are made are as firmly wrought into our nature as to survive every future shock, and impress indelibly the character of r future life. It will be proved that during his readeses at Oxford, or shortly after, his attachrnent was returned on her side, with a warmth and ardour equal to that which she bad inspired in him. lo the month of Maids, 1813, he became the husband of this Lady, with entire approbation of his own friends and those of Lady, under the auspices that held out every prospect happiness in their union. Both were young, but her was about six or-seven months more than his. The beasty of this Lady was great, her accomplishments were - nsarkable, her disposition and manners were the most, tractive and captivating. They had married in pursuance of the dictates of a most ardent mutual attachment, their union became a means of cementing the closest most endearing relations between their respective fami lies. From that period till the unhappy tune when defendant was introduced into their house, they pit a life of the most uninterrupted happiness and douses tic endearments. Sir Jacob Astley bad a large splendid mansion in Norfolk, and there they resided the first week alter the marriage. They than down into Northumberland, where also they had siderable Froperty, and there having remained time, they returned to Norfolk. From that period the elopement of Lady Astley, they had divided , lime between his mansion in Norfolk and hi. house . town. Lady Astley, surrounded by every enjoyment, brought her husband two children during interval. Having everything which could gratify heart of woman, she, in return, contributed everything in her power to make her husband happy. Wimmes will be called before you who will bear out the oat I now make. So happy was Sit Jacob Astley in the charms and attachment of his wife, that I Meow not whether even now be has been able to divest himself of that deep and enduring sentiment she inspired. It has been said, and I believe justly said, . the first passion which binds individuals together eniformly the strongest. }list impressions generally "the most lasting: these which follow are more an gegetnent of the will. The first impulses of attachment arise from confidence and devotion; the second spring from passion, mixed up with a variety of less puce end more selfish sentiments and cakul stioos. In the spring erf the year 1826, Sir Jacob Astley being about to make me new arrangements in the furniture of his home, Lady Astley remained to superintend the arrangements; Land Sir Jacob being down in Leicestershire, hunting, in the cootie of the season became acquainted with Mr. Garth,who bad &hewn him some civility in powering for him ape& ef barriers. Lady Aide,. en her arrival at her town house, in Lower Grosveeior-street, lived there till June. Mr. Garth, a Gentleman very much engaged in the fashionable world. kept up a degree of splendour and a magnificeoce of eqsipage boyead the ordinary .means of Gentlemen in his profession. He called on Sir J. Astley as a tnere matter of ceremony; and this was the first time he saw Lady Astley. The resek was an invi tation to the house, and be became one of the feriae visitors of the family. Hie atlantic*. to Lady Astley at first excited no observation; there was nothing relllWtk' able in them, nor seytking et her conduct. whirl 4,400141 have been wrong in any person. Towards Jane of last year, the general election came on, and Sir Jacob was induced to make an adventure on the Borough of Sea ford.—a thing he would not probably have done had he known as much of that Borough as .I do. He Icift town about the 6th or 7th of June, accompanied by *Gentle man, and alto by a Clergyman, an intimate friend of the family, and who lived in his house as Chaplain to the fa mily. He failed in that contest. Up to that period Mr. Garth's attentions had been continued, and were, in deed, more evident, by his becoming a mote frequent visitor in the House; but Lady Astley mixing freely in society, they were not main remarkable than those of many other Gentle men, and, indeed,sot more distinguish ed than wit fairly to be espeeted by a Lady of Iser se consplisboxents and affability—pet mom to fact, than orl eals2 .
