must protest against the false colouring_attempted to be given to existing circumstances. It was unneces sary for him to deny the insinuation thrown out, that Ministers were collecting a military force to protect the King at the approaching Coronation. The re ception which the Sovereign had met with, on every occasion in which he bad mingled with his People, was the best answer which could be given to such an insinuation—(Loud cheers). And he was convinced that an equal confidence was placed by the people in the House of Commons. The burthens on the people were severe—(Hear, shear)—and could only be lightened by degrees. The people had been told so, and they did not respect the House the less for having told them the truth—(Hear, hear). The Ho nourable Member for Aberdeen would, in time, no doubt, be a useful Member of Parliament; but, at present he went at too rapid a pace. If that Ho nourable Member would do Government the favour to attend one of the Committees now sitting to inves tigate the expenditure, and to forward economy, he would soon see the necessity of moving at a slower rate. The Honourable Member had taken a Harle quin-leap—(A laugh)-..in which he could not follow him. Indeed, he could not, he would not attempt it. It would be a delusion on the country; and he should, indeed, be a Mountebank, if he were to hold out a hope, in the present state of the country, of saving a sum of £1.,000,000, whatever the Honourable Mem ber might be able to do. Still he would not oppose the Address, which went to pledge his Majesty's Go vernment to a course which they were most anxious to adopt. The Government•would no: relax during the recess, and when the time should again come round he should be proud to meet that House of Commons which had, by its councils and its exer tions, carried the country so gloriously through the arduous struggle in which weliad been engaged. Lord MILTON . did not think the speech of the Noble Lord remarkable for its prudence, seeing that he had so frequently taunted his Noble Friend.' With respect to the Agricultural Report, he had read it with care, and he was convinced that it was drawn up with an intention to divert the attention of the House and the Public from the real question—(Hear, hear).—As to the Addresses that were moved, they seemed to him so much alike, that it was indifferent to him for which of them he voted—(Hear).—He hoped, that when they met again he should find that something had been done in the way of retrenchment. And looking at the price of corn, and the general state of the country, he rather suspected, that neither the desire nor the necessity for economy would be less than they now were. The Marquis of TICHFIELD urged the neces sity of retrenchment, by which alone the finances of the country could be restored. The Noble Lord dis claimed all party feeling, but at the same time strongly condemned the proceedings against her Majesty as disgraceful to those who had promoted them, and to the Parliament which had adopted them—proceed ings by which the money' of this moral country had been expended in the purchase of perjury, put up to public auction in the market of Milan, and that with a view to the persecution of an Illustrious whose sex and previous sufferings might have ensured her more merciful treatment !—(Hear, hear).—From those proceedings Parliament had received an in curable wound, the rankling effects of which would not cease but with the c3nstitution of this House it self. Under the hope, however, that the success of this motion of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Aber deen, would, in some measure, repair the character of this House with the country, he would give it his most cordial assent.—( The Noble Lord, when he. sat down, was loudly cheered). Mr. WILMOT regretted that the Noble Lord, who had so long economised Lis feelings, should have taken this opportunity of giving them vent; more especially when he had been so anxious to declare that he had no party motives. After hearing the Noble Lord's declaration, and the speech which followed it, who would give credit to his assertions? (Hear, hear). Mr. CREEVEY said, that the Hon. Member for effect would be derived front his labours, that they would shew the country how vain was the attempts in that House to reduce any estimates which the Mi nisters chose to lay before it. After the experience which he had had, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would feel that it was useless and unnecessary to persevere in that course which he had been follow ing ; far the immense patronage possessed by Mi nisters in the enormous standing army kept up in a time of peace, with the avowed object of keeping the people down—the immense patronage which they also derived from the places, offices, pensions, and honours at their disposal, secured them such an in ituence in Parliament that it must appear in vain to expect anything but a majority in favour of what ever they might propose. The ties of gratitude, under such circumstances, were alone sufficient to insure it, without the slightest reference to any cor rupt motive or interested expectations. The Noble Lord then adverted to the late vote for the repeal of the Husbandry Horse Duties, which, he said, re &Tted little credit on those who, having voted for the Estimates, then turned round on the Noble Lord, and cut off the means of paying those esta blishments which they had voted for keeping up.— There was one circumstance to which he begged per mission of the House to allude, and that was, the arming one portion of the people against the other— (Hear, hear). The military was in tretion every day, f r om one place to another, and great numbers of them were brought up from different parts of the country to the metropolis, which looked more like the vicinity of a camp, than a peaceable city. It was not enough to increase the military in the neighbourhood of the ciry, but additional numbers were introduced within the very walls ; and the very House of Parliament was surrounded with an armed soldiery ! It was with great regret he understood that it was intended to surround the metropolis with a large military force on the occasion of the approaching Coronation ; and he would ask if that was the way in which the People of England deserved to be treated ?—(!Lear, hear). — Was it fit that, by such an act as this, their loyalty s'.ould be suspected ? Were they to be treated as if they were enemies ? Oa former Coronations it had been customary to employ the Homehold Troops, and no other ; but now he understood that soldiers were to be brought up from Brighton and other parts of the kingdom. Ile had even been informed that some troops iYeornanryCavalry were to be brought up to London. He objected altogether to such a system of police as this—(Hear, hear).—lt was not the practice of for mer Kings; and if protection was necessary, than in deed the situation of the Sovereign was much to be' deplored. But such protection was not necessary ; for at no period were the people of England more loyal than at this moment; and this circumstance proved that all the assertions of Ministers for years past, respecting the disloyalty of the people, were unfounded. The Noble Lord at the head of the Home Department mistook the character of the peo ple, if he thought it necessary, on such an occasion as his Majesty's Coronation, to display his vigour by Marching troops from all parts of the kingdom, as if a rebellion menaced his throne, or a foreign enemy had landed on our coasts. The Minister who could venture to give such advice was unworthy of the confidence of his Sovereign—(Hear, hear). the motion was then read from the Chair. Mr. BANICES defended the contemplated employ ment of the military at the approaching Coronation, as necessary for shew and parade. As to the other part of the Noble Lord's speech, he could not but consider it as betraying a despondency, and a distrust of the }lows of Commons, which it did not deserve. As to the present motion, he could not agree in it. The Hon. Member went too far. He (Mr. Bankes) had voted for the reduction of the Army—it ought to be reduced—it must be reduced—but the reduc tion could not go the extent of 20,000 men, as pro posed by the Honourable Member. In making such propositions as that of to-night, for saving first 4.:1.,000,000, and then £10,000,000, the Honourable Member only displayed visionary speculations, which could never be effected. Ministers had, during the present Session, made every possible reduction ; he wished, indeed, the reduction could have been more rapid, but that was impracticable. Ile particularly adverted to the savings made in the department of •the Customs, which were already considerable, and would increase. He was persuaded Ministers would perform the promise they had so repeatedly given, of promoting economy. Still he was not for relying on any man's promises. On the contrary, be was most anxious to go up to his Majesty with an Ad dress, expressive of their sentiments on this subject; but he w :died, at the same time, so to draw up his Address, that it should give offence to no one. He had endeavoured to draw up an Address in that spi rit, which he would now move as an Amendment. He concluded by moving an Address, expressive of the satisfaction the House felt at the steps of retrench- . ment taken by his Majesty's directions, and praying that the system should be continued, that the expenditure of the several Government departments should be re vised, and every possible retrenchment be adopted, and especially that a reduction in the Army should take place to the utmost extent. Mr. GOOCII declared himself a friend to economy and retrenchment, so far as the same could be adopted with advantage to the public service. lie considered that his Majesty's Ministers were now pursuing that course; and although they had been late in adopting measures of retrenchment, he still consi dered they were most serious and earnest in pursuing this object, and under that impression he must second and support the Amendment. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in replying to the speech of the Mover on this occasion, and his Noble Seconder, said, those persons must be aware that he (Lord Londonderry) and his friends were in debted to the Noble Lord and his friends for all the power they possessed. For it was because the coun try did not consider itself safe in the hands of the Noble Lord and his friends that they had supported his Majesty's present Ministers in their situations. Now, kith respect to the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, if he was a deity instead of a very labori ous individual—(A laugh)—it would be utterly im possible for him to make himself master of the mass of detail into which, on different occasions, he had gone. With respect to the statement of the Noble Lord who seconded this motion, he was must happy to assure him that the country did not partake of his nervous and jaundiced feelings. Never was the coml. try in a more ttanquil state than at present, and he 'trespass farther. Not one of hii statements had been met by argument. As to the assertion of the Noble Lord (Londonderry), that he (11r. Hume) was a vi sionary, he would only say, that they were deserving of the epithet who had, as the Noble Lord and his friends had done, gone into statements, ncne of which were borne out by facts. With respect to the Amend ment proposed by the Honourable Member for Ci r:e Castle, he would account for it by stating, that he (Mr. Hume) had been soft enough to slim a copy of his Resolutions to the Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Lushington). But, in fact, there was very little dif ference between his Resolutions and those of the lion. Member (Mr. Bankes). The chief alteration which had been made was, that the Hon. Member had ap proved of the conduct of Ministers for the reductions said to have been made in the Customs. Now, in order to let the House see how ill founded was this praise, he would just mention (and he made the state ment from official documents which he held in . his hand) that, in the lAst year, not fewer than 122 per sons had been added to the Customs, and not one re duced. There had been so much increase; and, on look ing to the head of decrease, he found, Nil—(llear). The House should observe, that 1820, there had been an increase of £4,800 in the salaries of ()dicers in the Customs, and in the present year that had been reduced by £2,600, and this was the boasted reduction—(Hear). But in Ireland there bad been an increase of £22,000, and a decrease of £lO,OOO only— (Hear). This, then, was the economy and re duction ; and on this the House were called upon to congratulate the country. The point to which he had called the attention of the House, and it was not in the slightest degree contradicted, was this—that since the year 1808, there had been an increase of £1,600,000 in the management of the Customs.— (Hear, hear). Now, he would ask, was a decrease of £2,600 to be set off as economy against such a vast' increase as that he had mentioned ? He stated these facts to shew that those who voted for the amended Resolutions would be giving their support to a re presentation unfounded in fact. The House then divided— For the Motion of Mr. Mug - - - 94 Against it Majority for Mr. BAIIKS'S Amendment - —BO The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Three o'Clock. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE, ON THE CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO AN EXTRA POST. Although your Committee have entered into an inquiry of some extent, the advanced period of the Session induces them to abstain from submitting a detailed Report of the Evidence they have received, or of the nature of Mr. Buttons's proposi tion for carrying letters by an Extra Post. If their investigation had begun sooner, they would have felt it their duty to state their views on those points at greater length; but, under existing circumstances, they submit it as the result of their opinion, that the measure is a practicable one, according to the mode in which Mr. Buttorss proposes to carry it into exe cution, namely, by having a light two-wheeled carriage, and changing horses at stages nowhere exceeding eight miles each, to preserve the animals from over-exertion and distress. Although your Committee are fully sensible of the advantages to be derived from an accelerated system of correspondence be tween different parts of the country, they feel that considerable inconvenience may arise in the great mercantile towns, frown two deliveries and two departures of the Post, at different hours.— How far this inconvenience may be counterbalanced by the ad vantages of the more speedy conveyance, your Committee are of opinion that experience alone can enable the Public ro determine. Your Committee understand that Mr. BUROILSS takes upon himself the expense of the proposed Plan, with the exception of the charge that will be occasioned by the establishment of another Office in London, the employment of an additional number of letter-sorters and letter-carriers, and also the incidental expenses which may arise from the increase of office-duty in some large provincial towns. On this part of the subject your Committee think, that if a practical, safe, and uniform mode of accelerating the general correspondence of the country should be ultimately adopted, some small increase of public charge would be fully compen sated for, by the considerations to which this Report has al ready adverted. Upon a review of the whole case that has been submitted to them, your Committee recommend that Mr. BUIWESS should be allowed to make his experiment. THE CORONATION.

BRIDGE-STREET ASSOCIAT/OX.-MA::siox-House.—Yesterday having been appointed for the hearing of the informatio s against the" Constitutional" Association, the Justice-room was crowded to excess immediately upon the opening of the doors, and the greatest interest in the event was manifested both within and without the Mansion-House. At twelve o'clock, Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Murray, attended by Mr . . Stephen , ' the Solicitor, Mr. Gould, and a number of other persons connected with the So ciety, entered the room. They were shortly after followed by Mr. THACHRAY, Mr. Parkins, and Mr. Harmer, attended by several other individuals. Alderman WAITHSIAN sat with the Loan MAYOR, who appeared to have suffered considerably from his recent indisposition. The City Solicitor sat ou the Bench with his Lordship. Mr. ADOLPHUS attended as Counsel for Mr. Sharpe. It was signified on the pan of the prosecution that the infor mation against James Bulworth Sharpe would be that upon which they would first proceed. The information was accord ingly read. It was that of J. Tyler, of the parish of St. Cle ment the Dane, bookseller. It was dated the lath of June, and stated, in effect, that J. B. Share had become a Member of a Society called '• The Constitutional Association," the Meta ben whereof did assent to a declarcrion not required by law, sad which Society was an unlawful combination or confederacy, within the intent and meaning of the eeth of Geo. Il I. Mr. Sharpe pleaded Not Guilty to the information. Mr. THACICA.OI addressed the Lord Mayor in sepport of the information. He commenced by saying, that his Lordship had heard the information, and that if the forms prescribed by the Act of Parliament were not complied with, the words of the enactment against such Societies as that he proceeded against were sufficiently clear to render it unnecessary to enter into any lengthened discussion upon them. Before, however, he entered fully into the subject, be would beg to disclaim any motives of personal hostility or animosity towards the Members of the As sociation, to several of whom he was bound by ties of friend ship, and to others by those of dear and near relationship ; and be could not but sincerely regret that any with whom he had the honour to be connected, should have placed themselves in such situations. Ile disclaimed any other than those public motives with which every subject ought alone to be actuated. For him self and his Priced Mr. Parkins, he could say that they were equally hostile to the propagation of blasphemy and sedition with any in the kingdom ; and they lamet.t.ei that some abuses of the Press should give plausibility to the institution of such au un constitutional Association as that agaiest which they now pro ceeded. It would be objected, perhaps, that the Act under which they proceeded, only contemplated certain Societies in existence at the time of its enactment (which were described in the preamble of the Act), and that it was now its fact obsolete. He must have been a very short-sighted legislator, wile, it) cor recting present evils and abuses, did not look forward to the prevention of future evils: He contended that the Legislature had, in the enactment, contemplated the formation of Societies whose professions were plausible and praiseworthy—pretended asserturs of order and correctors of abuses—in fact, " Constitu tional Associations." He proceeded to contend, that the ex:se. ence of other Societies would fonts no argument in favot.r of this, although they might assent to declarations not required hi law, as they were excepted by the Act, which was not poet c: d to operate against Societies for rcligicui and chwitaa: purput.: 5. Joseph Wilfred Parkins Esq. was than cal:ad Es a wits He stated that he went to the office of the Association, No. e, New Bridge-street, where he saw Air. Sharpe, who gave lens a paper containing an Address to the Public, and a list of the ad di:ional subscribers. Mr. ADOLPHUS ingeniously commented on the case on the part of the infatuation, which, lie contended, was not supported by the slightest evidence. The information was against Mr. Sharpe, for having become " the Member of a Society; the Members whereof (not Mr. Sharpe) did assent to a declaration not re quired by law." No such declaration had been produced, nor any evidence to show that any such declaration bad been ai setited to. He contended that it would be absurd to suppose that a Society like the Constitrithnal Association was within the meaning of an Act passed for the suppression of Societies meet ing for " treasonable and seditious purposes," when the vcr y As'dress" put in evidence as a " Declaration" proved the con trary. After sonse remarks, in reply to the observations of Mr. Thackray, he concluded by calling upon the Lord Mayor to de cide, without regarding any of the threats of proceedings in other Courts that had been made use of. The City Solicitor, after consulting with the Loan ltavoi for sonic time, declared it to be his Lordship's opinion, that t h e evidence id nct support the information, which was, therefore, dismissed. A Work of peculiar interest will appear in a few days, entitled, " Memoirs of a Man of Fashion," written by himself: including Anecdotes of many celebrated Persons, with whom he had intercourse and connexion. • It is impossible to appreciate the advantages of tLe present Lottery, to be drawn 10th JULY, too highly.
