the disastrous consequenets of borroiing money at a heavy per carnage. . Mr. HUME never heard from a Chancellor of the Exchequer a clearer speech, and therefore he anticipated clearness in the Finances. lie oily sregrttted that he should continue, or think of continuing the complete delusion of a Sinking Fund. Such an accumulated sum only encouraged extravaganee _in Ministers if they Should E nd an opportunity. The late Chancellor of the Exchequer, in one day, took away eight millions from the Sink ing Fund ; and in all he•belieeed he had taken 40 millions from that ► und.. tlinisters would aiwiys get a Parli lariat to sanc tion extravagant encroachments on the Sinking-Fund; and the only use Or it was to approorietr the siirpnis every year to reduce the amount of the debt, and so to reduce the amount of taxation.. That would reduce the debt as soon as the accumulating system, and without the expense of management. Mr. Baring wished fur the accumulating system In order to have a fund to go to war with. He hoped, however, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would agree to no such thing, -and that be would give up the loan of .1- 0 ,800,000 f. to pay oil annuities; and he trusted we were not too late to redeem that folly of the last Session.— They ought to reduce the taxation in the meantinw, :there being no doubt that our resources were equal to any exertion we may be called • 13,,r to make. He thought, therefore, that Ministers, should-take off three minions of taxes, and trust to that House to make goOd any supplies which emergencies might call for.— This was the only part of the Right lion. Gentle-to:nes 'speech which he wishid to . see altered. The Right lion. Gentleman had prided himself upon the increase in the Revenue on exci.t.- able articles ; but he forgot that he was receiving into the Ex chequer the whole rental of England, for the landlords were obliged to be content with half rents, and sometimes Ito resits at all. The measures proposed to be adopted as to the Revenue and Disitilay Laws its Irelati.i, were, of all others, the most important'. This would save half the expense of the military establishment in Ireland; and this, with taking 1.4 the- tithes, would, no doubt, enable her to iise into a st,te of civilization, as Scotland had done. Ile taw a new era commencing, but he could not cover the evils of the former Finance Administration. He would no: consent to rob the public creditor of a single shil ling. Government deserved every support for its manly deter mination to maintain pul,lic credit. Let those who wished the contra' y place themselves in the same situation as the public cre ditor, and see how they would like •to be so robbed. He wished the Right lion. Gentleman to lay his accounts on the table, to chew the comparative expenditures which he had alluded to. Mr. T. WILSON was 7nuch pleased with the fair and honour able speech of the Hon. Member, respecting public credit ; but be could not agree to repeal the tax for the relict of shipping, while the agricultural interest was suffering to such in extent. lie, however, wished that Government would reduce the rate oed expense of collection of that and other taxes. Sir HENRY PARNELL expressed hisdeep sense of grati tude to the Right Hon. Gentleman our the attention he bad given to tile state of Itched; and fur the valuable services of the Committee of Inquiry into the abuses irelreland. Without a consolidation of the Revenue Boards, they new could obtain a proper collection of the Revenue of Ireland. A measure of complete equalization of Custom Duties, would go far to esti- Wish a free and unrestrained Trade between Great Britain and Ireland, which would be of the utmost benefit to Ireland. He was happy to find that, in the latter colliery, the system of Pro tecting Duties was of injury rather than of benefit to Ireland.— He was also happy to find that the Executive Government of Ireland was to be deprived of. all the extensive patronage of the Excise and Customs ; for that would also ensure a better collec tion of the Revenue. He was sorry, however, to find that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not mentioned any reduction of Taxes, such as the Tobacco Duty, in Ireland. Such a reduction would increase the consumption in so poor a country as that was. Lord FOLKSTONE agreed in the perspicuity of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech; but he confessed that he had been most woefully disappointed that it contained no plan for the relief of agricultural distress. It had been a fashion in the City and in that House, to cry up everything to maintain public credit, and to cry down those who did *not think so highly of that; but lie still retained his former opinions on that subject. He was an old enough Member of Parliament to recollect that all those who talked of supporting the Sinking Fund, oc en croaching on it, were talked of in the same way. Mr.. DEN NET thought there was honesty to the public cre ditor, and the public debtor also. The country had only to maintain its credit by raying what it had borrowed. The people of England would not consent to be robbed by the infamous robbery produced by the alteration of the currency. They would nut consent to be robbed of their propetty by an Act most igno. re qtly passed by that lioitee. lie was ready to dispute this sub ject by facts and arguments, and shew the spoliation which had produced nine-tenths of the miseries which pressed on the country. .I.ord MILTON said it was so long since be had seen suck an evening in the I loom, that he scarcely knew sebum he opposed or with whom he was to act. Ile congratulated the country on the new feeling and new Government which had got into the House; they seemed to be actuated with new spirit from the Government of the last Session ; still the reduction of taxes pro posed was far less than the distressed Counties had a right to expect. He believed that unless the expenses of cultivating the land were much diminiihed, it would be impossible to cultivate it : be therefere thought it Incumbent on the Government to grant a much greater remission of taxation to the country. An alteration of the currency, however, he could not agree with, because it could not be done without a breach of faith towards the public creditor. Sir ROBERT WILSON said that the public credit could only be maintained by union with the Government and People ; and, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said there was no dkress in the country, he hoped the Secretary for the Home Department would take advantage of this season of prosperity used tranquillity to repeal the Six Acts, and so restore the country to its old Constitution. Dir. ODEIIOUSE bore testbnony to the great distress of nriculture, and was of opinion that a repeal of the duty on Malt end Beer would he of the greatest advantage to agriculture.— There was nearly a million in High-roads and County Rates; a million on land Tan, The of Tithet ; and about seven trillions of Poor-rates. The consequence of this dearly shewed the distre::s to arise from taxation, acting on diminished income. Ir woa therefore impossible to uon voting, year after year, in favour of untouchable Sinking Funds. • Mr. BEN E'rT hoped the Miniiter had still behind some plan of more extensive reduction of taxation. The %Vindow 'fax was a mast oppressive tax, but the House Tart was a fair ad talorent tax taken nn the rent, and he would rattier have it in creased, if the Window Tax had been wholly taken otf. He was pleased at whatever had been done for Ireland; for if any thing was done for her, it was done for England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would be anxiou4 to iind some means of increasing the consumption of B.er, in order to reduce the tax on it. Tar Resolutions were then agreed to, and ordered to be re ported on Monday. The Itish Chancellor of the Exchequer's Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday.

The principal subject of discussion was the Ways and Means; but the motion of Sir JOHN OsBoRN for a wooly of seamen, though of a secondary nature, is of consi derable importance. For increasing the number of seamen from 21,000 to 25,000, Sir JoliN OSBORN assigned, as the only motive, the disturbed state of South America, the West Indies, and the Mediter ranean. Not a word was said about the probability of war in Europe! On the contrary, to some ob servations of Mr. 'hot/CHASE, Mr. CANNING replied, " that the state of Europe was one upon which it was utterly impossible for any man to make np his mind upon the instant.—That it is the wish and want of this country, as well as of Europe, to preserve the peace of the world, and no effort shall, be left tin tried, none unexhausted, to promote that end !" No doubt Sir. CANNING and the Government are quite sincere in this wish; and, ruinous and un-English as the policy of our late Foreign Minister was, we can not believe, with the flourishing state of our resources, as last night presented to the House, that the EtourinoN who ones his Throne ro us and who would be cast out to-morrow if our country sere but to enctiorage his disaffected subjects, will dare openly to oppose the wishes of our Cabinet, supported as they are by a strong sentiment of justice and the approbation of enlightened people throughout Europe. The statements of the CHANCELLOR .of the•EXCHE , QUER were heard with great attention and applause. Most of the Opposition Members, who spoke were as warm in their approbation, as if they already shared with the CHANCaLLoa a seat on the Treasury benches. Lord Mumma stated " that the country had a new Government—new in A its feelings and all its views on great public questions." Certainly we never be fore heard of a CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con demning all mystification and advocating brevity and clearness in financial statements ; and carrying his I opinions into execution. He stated the Revenue of 1822 - - - - Z*54,414,650 Expenditure of ditto . - 49,449,150 Surplus of Revecue - - £ 4,F , 45,520 lie estimated that, continuing the present l'axes. the Revenue of 1825 would be - - - X 57,096,255 Expenditure Surplus - - - X 7;224,255 Five millions of this surplus are to be appropitated to the Sinking Fund, and two millions less Taxes a: e to be levied. It is the CHANCELLORS intention to abolish altogether the Taxes on Male Servants occa sionally employed in husbandry and trade—on occa sional Gardeners—on the inferior classes cfTaxedCarts '—on Ponies under 13 hands high—and im Horses employed by small Farmers, who are also engaged in trade. The whole sum of all the Taxes to be thus abolished will amount to 1.17,100.., The CHANCELLOR further proposes to reduce the taxes on the following articles 50 per cent. and he estimates the amount of the reduction at Male Servants - - - - £159,500 Clerk!, Shopmen,TraveUers, Eze. - 98,950 Four-wheeled Carriages - - 145,000 Two-wheeled Carriage. - - 98,000 The inferior clkss of Taxed Carts - 17,650 Horses for Riding _ . - - - 324,000 .... . Lower Duties on w liorses, Mules, &c. - 74500 The Window Tax is also to be reduced 50 per cent. and the tax on all ground-floor windows to be wholly abolished. The total reduction of taxation from these , several items will amount to k:2,262,000. The Assessed 'faxes in Ireland the CHANCELLOR proposes entirely to repeal. And it must give every body great satisfaction to learn that he also means' hereafter to bring forward some modification in the Distillery Laws of that country. It must, however, be observed that it is owing to the increasing pro ductiveness of the several Taxes which are to be re tained that the others can be abolished or reduced. The expenditure of Government for 1823 being esti mated higher by 1302,370 than that for 182 Z. French Papers of Thursday arrived this morning.

WILLIAM‘.—Is Rector el Itehin Abbas, in Hampshire; has been the Vis.ting Magistrate of the Lunatic Asylums of that county fur upwards of twelve years; has known Lord Portsmouth since 179.:: tie was Lord Lymington at the time ;' has met hint at lord Dor chester's twice, and three. or four times at Mr. Terry's; this was in the year 1798 ; his Lordship always took part in the con versations ; he had a very singular smarm:ice, but his manners and conduct were gentlemanly, and his answers pertinent. Wit ness was once in company with his Lordship for about two hours f no other person was present; his conversation was rational; would have witnessed the execution of his Lordship's will as .that of any other person. Rev. Mr. Wake examined.--Is Rector of Wallop ; is con necrod by marriage with the Portsmouth family; hi, wife was the daughter of the late Earl's brother; has known his Lordship from 1813, frequently visited at liurtsbourne; has sometimes remained there for a week or a fortnight at a time ; once Lord Portsmouth (in the year .1814) stayed at the house of witness for two days ; never considered his Lord.bip as a literary man, but always as of sound mind ; has seen hint frequently alone, and in society; has corresponded with his Lordship several times; re ceived a letter of condolence on the loss on . his wife ; it was writ ten in a very feeling and affectionate manner; has left it nt home, will write for it this niiht ; met his Lordship at Andover h► July last ; did not observe any difference in his Lordship at that time. By Lord Fitzroy.—Did consider his Lordship of sound mind in 1815. Thought his marriage with the present Countess of rather too early celebration, when considered in relation to the death of his former Lady; but did not think that circumstance a proof of the unsoundness of his mind. By Mr. Bruce—Has seen Lord Portsmouth at Church; he conducted himself seriously; never heard him sing in company; his demeanour and conduct was always that of a Gentleman; during the whole of his intercourse with Lord Portsmouth never thought him of unsound mind ; did not consider his Lordship of an uncommonly sound mind ; Lord Portsmouth never appeared to witness to be under any c u ntr o ul ; h e d ran k w i ne an d enjoyed himself in society like other men.

By Mr. Farquhar—When resident at Lord Portsmouth's, his Lordship read the morning and evening prayers with solemnity and propriety, so much so as not to call for any observation front witness. . . By Lord Fitzioy—He did not observe that his Lordship joined in the singing of psalms. Mr. Giles King Lyfoid, Surgeon, at Winchester; examined. —Was at school with Lord Portsmouth, at Odiham.

Twitity years afterwards saw Lord Pi rtsmoutb, when he was niarried to Lord Grantley's sister ; met him at,Winchester, at the house of Dr. Littlehsle .when he had the honour of renew ing his acquaintance with isord Portsmouth; spoke to his Lord ship about their former acquaintance. " GOD bless my soul, is it. Lyrurd?" said he, " I am glad to see you; are you married?"' ILs Lordship expressed great pleasure at seeing hint. Saw his Lordship at several private balls; never had reason to believe that he conducted himself differently from other men. Cross-examined by Mr. llzounsiam.---At school his Lordship Old not appear to be clever. Lord Portsmouth appeared to be at all times in the same state of mind. He never spoke to hint about Alder.

Mr. Wingham, a surgeon, of Winchester, examined.—Was acquainted with Lord Portsmouth ; has had occasional practice ' on diseases of the mind. In 1805 dined with Lord Portsmouth. . He seemed cheerful, and talked with every one at table. Saw him at different places—at balls and public meetings. Had not seen him these eight or ten years. Never saw anything that would lead him to think his Lordship had a diseased mind. Rev. Dr. Hurd, of Moncton, examined.—Knows Lord Ports mouth. His Lordship attended five or six times at public din. ners. His general demeanour was very proper, and very polite. had seen Lord Portsmouth at church, where he appeared very attentive, as far as his (witness's) attention could he directed to bins. Would not hesitate to administer the Sacrament to him, if requested. Ily the Jury.—lfeard of Mr. Newton Fellowes'e Petitioo in 1814. After hearing of that Petition would have adudnisttred the Sacrament; from his intercourse with Lord Portsmouth, be conceived himself, from ocular and oral demonstration, coimpe teat to 'form an opinion as to his Lordship's sanity or iesatuty ; as far as witness was able to judge, his Lordship would, with the assistance of good advisers, be able to manage his own affeirs.
