[limicz SF SKNPE NC R.. most indecent and ill-timed measures that had ever been proposed to Parliament: He could not sit dawn without returning his thanks to his Hon. Friend the Member for Northampton, for the uncompromising spirit with which he had resisted it. His intention was to move as an amendment, that the Resolution be read a second time that day six months ; but as it had been suggested to hive' that it would be more proper on a question of this nature merely to resist the passing of the Resolution, he would pursue that coarse. The House then divided, when there appeared to be-- For the Modem 173 Against it . 70 • Mainrky in favour of the Motion . —lO3 On our return to the Gallery we found— Tile CH ANCELLORof the EXCHEQUER on his legs. The Right 'Hon. Gentlenun watlot. some mi nutes inaudible; in consequenceof the noise of strangersl entering ,the Gallery. He saikthet the total amount, of the grant to the two illustrious Personages exceeded, by I,sool.:that which had been settled upon their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York. But, on the other bread, the military appointments of the Duke of York rendered his whole income greatly superior to what would, even with this addition, be the income of the Duke of Clarence; and ripen the discussion of an establishment for any of the Royal Freely, it had been the uniform practice of the House to take all circhni stances into consideration. 'Han. Gentlemen could not expect him to enter i.ito a detail of all the particular expenses likely to fall upon persons in that high situa tion ; but it was undoubted vat many claims were made upon them which they could not withstand, even if their own feelings would &Offer them to do so. It was of course quite impossible for him to demonstrate that the sum proposed was the 'most suitable sum that could, have been mentioned. Mr. HUME, amidst loud cries of " Question,' that he should resist the grant in every possible ■ The Resolution was then read a third time. On a motion that a Bill be brought in, in purr of the Resolution, • _ Mr. HUME said, that be perceived a disposition to check observations upon this grant, but that should not deter him from opposing such an expenditure of the public money at a period when they had petitions from every part of the country similar to those which had been presented that night from the City of London and from Carlisle, •compligning of distress, and when there was an admitted deficiency of upwards of four millions in the national revenue. He would ask those who voted for this addition to the burdens of the coun try, how they intended to provide for the exi.ting de ficiency? Did they propose a new Loan? Or by wharother means did they think of patching up the income for the year? Was this an expense contributing either to the defence of the country, or to the pr Jignity or •snyaky I' Wins -sash thWashowt dye eemeatela that sbeasande of laidastrious people were left without a bed under them, it was dis graceful in Ministers to offer this addition to the income of the Royal Duke, which, upon their own showing, be had not applied for. The Hon—Member then read several items from the Civil List, to shew, that the Royal Family were an expense to the country of 255,0001. If the Illustrious Duke bad any family, that might have been en* reason for the measure, which at present was without the slightest pretence of necessity. His present income charged on the Civil List was 29,5001. per annum, and in addition to this there was a charge of 2,1001. for Ctrtain members of his family.— This he thought an ample allowance. It was not for the nine thousand pounds he contended; for they bad thrown away millions in other ways—but on account of the insult it conveyed to the distressed people, who thought, and said in their Petitions to the House, tbai excessive taxation was the cause of their distress. If the ,policy had been to render the Heir Apparent unpopular, which had been the case in this country too often, no measure could have been more efficient than the present grant. Nothing could be more ill-advised than thus to hold up the man who SughtNto be loved and adored to the unfavourable notice of the Cmintry. He intended to put on record the situation in Which they were, and for that purpose be should move as an amendment— * That taking into ussideratien the present depressed state of the Shipping, Manufacturing, and Commercial interests, and the de pressed state of the great body of the people, as well as the alarming dibliedon of the public Revenue, the House did sot think it expe dient to increase the pesetas of the Duke of Clarence, who already enjoyed as income of IMAM. a year Irons the Conso lidated Fund, exclusive of his professional income." Mr. M. &JERALD did not agree with th who viewed the prcposed grant in the light of a prodi. gal or unnecessary expenditure of the public money. It had been charged as hostile to the Commercial, Ma nufacturing, and even to the Shipping Interest, but a more exaggerated view had cm tarnly never been taken of any subject. Upon no subject in his recollection bad so much oratory been thrown away—(Hear, hear). He gave his cordial support to the grant, because he thsught it fair and reasonable that the Illustrious Personages in who!. favour it was proposed, should be enabled ade quately to support the higher rank to which they had been called. In a country expending a revenue of sixty millions a year—in a country where a sinking fund of five millions was annually set apart, to support one par ticular description of property, it was a gross delusion upon the public, to persuade them that they could be affected by a paltry 9.0001. a year, bestowed for such purpose upon the Illustrious Duke. Then a ques tion had been falsest of the expense of Monarchy, and a comparison instituted between England and the United States. Into this he would only enter so far as to say, that he trusted if they were to decide upon the comparative value of Monarchy and Republicanism, it would not he upon the paltry question of 9,0001. a year that their decision would be given. He trusted that they would not be called upon to estimate the value of the two kinds of Government by a side wind, and with reference to a question so insignificant. He would' suppoit the grant, and all who knew him would believe him to be incapable of giving a vote with a view to pro pitiate the favour of any party. Mr. R. COLBORNE said that he took a different view of the question from the Right Hon. Gentleman, yet he was not prepared to concur in • perpetual oppo sition. Two divisions had already taken place, and as there appeared no bop of resisting the grant success fully, he did not with to make it as ungraceful as possi- the loyal Caner of Someone living at Eristel, praying for certain alterations In the Net StiWorts of that College. Sir J. LOWTHFR presented a Petition from the Shipowners of Whitehaven, genii s fora their distressed condition, and praying relief.

A Petition was presented from Highworth, in favour of the agri cultural interest. Sir J. LOWTHER presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Laud in Cumberland, praying that the agricultural interest might be protected. He strongly supported the prayer of the Petition. Mr. CUR WEN also supported the prayer of the Petition. It was essential to the welfare of the country that the agricultural I interest ebotiktisrproutted.

THOMPSON presented a Petition from SimriffaHuttoo, Yorkshire, against any alteration in the Cern Laws. Mr. ROW LA ND HILL presented a similar Petition from Wbitchurch, Salnp. ' Mr. D. GILBERT presented a similar Petition home a Parish i,t Sussex • aftd the Petitioners further prayed, that should an alteration be deemed indispensable, a permanent one might be adopted—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WOOD rose to present a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Common CouncU, and Livery, of the City of London, praying for a revision of the Corn Laws. The meeting at which the Petition was adopted was most respectably and nu merously attended, and the Petition was carried by a large majority. Among other thingq. the Petitioners stated, that protection had been withdrawn from every thing but Corn. Mr. WA liD supported the prayer of the P. titian. He con ceived that the Petitioners were a class of persons peculiarly entitled to the attention of the House. They were aU connected with trade, and many of them had experienced at least temporary knouts. nience and loss from some of the protecting duties having been I repealed. Mr. Alderman C. SMITH was understood to oppose the prayer of the Petition. Mr. Alderman WAITH MAN was strongly in favour of the measure called for by the Petitioners. There was no part of this kingdom suffering more from distress than was the City of Lon don. He would not then enter into the question—the time was ' not flitting, but it might be right is state one or two facts. Iu his official Capacity be bad bees called on the ,30th of January to hear snore appeals respecting the Poor Bates of a parish which con tained about IWO !muses. .Thir y housekeepers were excused from paying rates ih consequence of their poverty. One hundred and, seventy were summoned because they were in arreas in their pay.. manta; of them nearly two.tbirds were entirely misused. and the remainder were allowed time, from the sante reason that drencher* had been excused, via. Inability to pay ; so that in a Parish ' there were two hundred housekeepers struggling to keep out of the Workhouse. In addition to these.facts he might state that there were three hundred paupers in the PoorTbouse of that PAriab. and Dearly as many outdoor paupers. By the papers laid before that House it appeared, that during the past year there bad been more bankruptcies than during any former year, excepting 1616. by 1,000; and upwards of one half of these bankruptcies occurred in the (Sty of London. It appeared also that 2,537 person. bad taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act.
