of El 2. Thin necessarily limited their circulation which he was satisfied was never in the con , ' Lion Ministets. He was convinced that, terg4tin of the regulations in this respect, crease would be made in the circulation papers, and thereby a considerable addition revenue. He then moved that there be laid the House— ., An Account of the Establishment of the General Past Office for the Year 1822; the names of all the Officers, their Salaries, Fees, and Allowances, where those Salaries exceeded 2100 a-year ; stating also whether they held any other Pensions oc Emoluments, and also the nurnbet of those who held offices under £lOO a-year. " Alin similar Returns for Scotland and Ireland, with the statement of the per tentage and scale of allowances granted to rostm an era. " Also an account of the number of Newspapers sold or transmitted abroad by any of the officers or clerks under the Postmasters-General, in the years 1810, 1817 and 1821, distin guishing the Daily Papers from those published twice and thrice • wet 4, and the numbers of each ; also stating the names of the plates to which those Papers were sent, and the total amount vent fn each year ; and also the money received." " A similar account of all British Magazines and Reviews - lent abroad In the same way, and a similar account of all foreign Newspapers delivered th r ough the I'ost Office in this country. —Granted. Mr. HUME then moved that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he will be pleased to give directions that there be laid on the table of that House, an account of the total expendi ture incurred by Great Britain in the new Colonies of Ceylon, the Mauritius, Malta, Trinidad, Demerara, and lierbice, distinguishing the expenditure of the Naval, Milit*ry, and Civil Departments, for the years 1820 and 1821.-11 e made this motion for the pur pose of submitting a proposition to the House relative' to the expenditure of those Colonies, as soon as the Return- he moved for were laid upon the table. Mr. WILMOT said, that as he understood that the H Hlourable Member for Aberdeen had moved for the same papers in his absence, he wished to take the present opportunity to say a few words in reply to hat he had been told the Honourable Member for Aberdeen had then said. He had been told that the Honourable Gentleman had declared that he was not inclined to shew him (Mr. Wilmot) any courtesy. Now, as all public courtesy was merely employed for Parliamentary conveniency, he left the House to consider the situation in which he should be placed, supposing the Honourable Member for Aberdeen should persist in withholding from him that courtesy which was usually shewn to Gentlemen who held of ficial situations. If papers and accounts were called for, without any previous notice being given to him, be shcald be frequently obliged to meet motions for them with the previous question, in order to ob tain time to learn whether he ought to grant them or not. The House would recollect that he had only lately succeeded to the office which he then held.— At the beginning of the Session he had requested the Honourable Member to communicate to him the day before an account of any pagers for which he might intend to move ; and he had then promised him (Mr. Hume) that he (Mr. Wilmot) would give him on the next day a decisive reply on the subject. The Hon. Member, it now appeared, declined to pursue that line of conduct, and founded his reason for doing so upon an expression which he (Mr. Wilmot) had used in that House. Lord FOLKESTONE appealed to the Speaker, whether such observations ought to be allowed? The House, he thought, could have nothing to do with the explanation into which the Honourable Member appeared to be entering. Mr. WILMOT could assure the blouse, that he knew what he owed to himself better than to make an appeal in that House for the private courtesy of any Member. What he had said, was for the pur pose of obtaining public courtesy, and on the score of Parliamentary conveniency. If such courtesy were not sliewn to him, he might often be compelled to take the sense of the House upon motions which, if previously communicated to him, he might have no, objection to grant. How was it possible for him to know what papers might or might not be granted, without previously examining into the nature of them? —(Loud cries or, Hear,front the Ministerial Benches). He had no objection whatsoever to the production of the accounts now moved for. Dr. PHILLIMORE was alluding to the conduct) which Mr. Hume had pursued on a former evening,' in persisting to press on the House a motion for papers in the absence of the Hon. Member to whose office they belonged, when Lord FOLKESTONE rose and stated, that it was contrary to order for one llon. Member to allude to what had fallen from another Hon. Member in the course of a former debate. _ _ Mr. C. WYNN would not allude to what had oc curred in a former debate. He would, however, put a case to the House on which it might decide as it thought fit. Suppose an Hon. Member was to move for papers in the absence of, and without giving any notice to the official character to whose department they belonged, would not such a course of proceed ing be productive of great inconvenience when there was nobody in the House capable of replying to the Hon. Member ?—( Hear, hear). Mr. CALCRAFT stated, that it was the invariable practice to wait till the party in whose office the papers were to be found made his appearance in the House. Dr. PHILLIMORE said, that an instance had oc curred only last night, that such was not the invari able practice—(Great cheering from the Ministerial Benches).—The motion was then acceded to. Mr. HUME said he had another motion to submit to the House; but before he submitted it, he wished to say a few words upon what had just fallen from the other side. It would have been as well if the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who had just spoken, and who so well knew that an individual might change his conduct as well as his principles and opinions—(Laud cries of Hear! from the Opposi benches)—had taken the trouble to be correct in his assertions. Yesterday the motion which he was then going to make had been made and withdrawn. Now, any person who heard the speech of the Hon. and Learned Gent. would have supposed that he had made the motion and had afterwards refused to , withdraw it—(!/ear, hear).—Now, the contrary was the case. The motion Jie had then proposed, he had considered as a motion of course. In the year 1820, he had moved for a return of the expenditure incutrell by Great Britain in the lonian Islands for the years 1817 and 1818, and k had since been laid on the table. The motion which he had yesterday submitted to the House, and had afterwards withdrawn to bring it forward that day, was to have that Return continued should act like Gentlemen to him (Mr. Aline), he would act like a Gettlensart to theta; bet If they made use of the language which they did respecting him, they must not be surprised if he abstained from :hewing them any marks of courtesy or respect. Not only the Hon. Secretary for the Colonies had used improper language regarding him, but the Right . Hon. Secretary of State for the Home Department had last night said of him-- • The SPEAKER was ytisfied that the Hon. Mem ber who was now standing up for the privileges of the House, would see the necessity of his not being the first to violate them. Mr. HUME continued. If Honoerable Gentlemen on the other side expected that he should act to them as other Gentlemen did, they must act towards him las they acted towards other Gentlemen—(Neer,hear). As for himself, he cared not for the expressions which bad been used, though he thought it requisite to call the attention of the House to them. If he had last night supposed that any objection would have been offered to the motion, he would net have made it.— With regard to his having made it at a time when the Hon. Secretary was not in his place, he would merely say, that it was the duty of every Member who receives the public money for the discharge of public duties, to be early in his attendance in his place. He had on a former occasion wished to ask a question of the Hon. Secretary, which he had been obliged to postpone in consequence of the late hour at which that Hon. Member had entered the House. In conclusion, he should move that there be laid on the table of the House, an Abstract of the Expendi ture incurred by Great Britain in the lonian Islands, during the years 1819, 1810, and 1821, distinguish. ing the heads of disbursement, as far as the same could at present he made out. Mr. WILMOT thought that ifany expression which he had used in the course of debate had given offence to the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, it would have been as well if that Hon. Member had called upon him for an immediate explanation. He did not pre tend to be master of such self-possession as to re member every expression that fell from him in the heat of debate; but of this he was sure, that, what ever he might have said, he had meant nothing per sonal to the Hon. Member. All that he had said was meant iu a Parliamentary sense—(Hear). He should not object to the present motion. Dr. PHILLIMORE did not mean to offer any op position to the present motion. All that he had said with regard to the Hon Member for Aberdeen was this—that when he was pressing his motion: he bad been requested to wait till the Hon. Secretary for the Colonies came to the House. Thisbe at first refused to do ; and indeed at last only desisted on an Hon. Friend of his (Dr. Phillimore's) threatening to move the previous question. A) to the insinuations which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had thrown out against his conduct, he should only say, that he was ready at any time to meet and to refute them. The motion was then granted. Mr. HUME then moved—" That there be laid on the table of the House an account of the manner in which the sum of 95,2001. that had been asked for to defray the expenses of transports for the ensuing year, was to be expended ; as also a statement of the names and tonnage of the different iessels which are to be employed. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN said, that there could be no objection to furnish such an account for a past year ; but he did not know how it could be done for a coming year. It would require the Controller of the Navy to be possessed of a spirit of prophecy to tell whether it would be the ship Anne or Eliza that he should this year have occasion to employ. Mr. HUME regretted that the Honourable Baronet to whom the gallant Officer had just alluded, was not in his place in the House; but before he had made this motion he had submitted it to the Honourable Baronet, who had told him that he had no objection to the motion. The returns of the same expenditure had been given to him last year; but even if that had not been the case, he should maintain his right to call for an acccunt of the services for which money was de manded in the Estimates. After a few words from Sir GICOROZ COCKBURN and Mr. HUME, the motion was acceded to. PUBLIC *WORDS. Sir JOHN NEWPORT, after a few preparatory observations, moved the following Resolutions: That the sale of the works published by the Record Com mission, from the commencement of discontinuance of distribu tion of such works to the Members of this House, under- the Treasury Minute of 1810, bath produced no more than the sum of 3,3541. 9s. 6d. being an annual produce of not quite 5091. during a period of nearly twelve years, subject to deductions for charges of sale. " That the object of public utility will be better consulted by reverting to the former usage of distribution of such works u are particularly connected with the %Jaws and Constitution, rather than by the application of any sums of such small amount, in diminution of expenses attending on the publication thereof." After a desultory conversation, in which Mr. C.W. WYNN, Sir J. MACKINTOSH, Mr. G. BENNET, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. MowcK, d Mr. F. ROBINSON took a part, the Resolutions were agreed to. Sir J. NEWPORT then gave notice that he would, on Tuesday next, move for the appointment of a Committee to examine into the best mode of carry ing into effect the Resolutions just agreed to. respect to.tba rsitionerttion gor .teeneXkotatb.). fen, ullaffistoott that the Bank would itnnia, muneratiotsfrom the assents, , but they would requu the usual'reentinittab.uh.. tnetely from the disietits.

The Bank had already received enough through 'other sources for transacting the pubiic busing* flesteuld no* move, according to his ttotite,Tor an account of all sums paid by the Public to the Bank ail' reward for services, labours, or management, ukson loans, or funding Exchequer Bills,. or eq tratriferes from year 1793 to 1821, distinguishing the amount e year, and the whole aggregate sum. Mr. MANNING complained that the Hon..Geti. tleman had in his absence alluded tea, Bank Direc. tor (he supposed himself), in a manner that was un necessary, on the subject of the Bank transactions, When the Hon.• Member came forward with a clause (if he so intended) to oppose the intended remunera tion to the Bank, he (Mr. Manning) should certain* state.his reasons why the House ought not to adopt the Hon. Gentleman's views on the occasion. Perhaps the House were not aware that the twenty-six year? accountsjor which the Hon. Member bad mov4, respecting the remuneration received by the Bang, were already on their table. They had been pre sented by one of the officers of the Bank; at the bar of that House, in May, 1818, and were subsequently printed and distributed. The motion was unnecessary. Mr. GRENFELL disclaimed meaning anything uncourteous to the Hon. Gentleman, and he should now withdraw his motion, and let it stand over till to-morrow, if the Hon. Gentleman desired any delay. He must, - however, say, that on occasions when he found the public interests linked with the affairs of i the Bank, he should not think it necessary to defer any observations he had to make upon the subject, until he saw a Bank Director in his place. He must repeat what he had often before said, tlat in the Bonk affairs his complaint was not against the Direct tors, but against the Government. On all occasions in which he thought the public interests were likely to be affected by arrangements between those parties, he should exercise the right of observing upon them, without awaiting the arrival of any Honourable Di rector, though he had the utmost wish to be cour teous to all of them.—The motion was agreed to. Lord FOLKESTONE presented a Petition from Mr. P. B. Bouverie, of Craven-street, Westminster, who was a trustee for a person holding Navy Five per Cents. who was now out of the kingdom. The Petitioner, who was a bona fide trustee for an absent person, prayed that he might have the power of ex pressing his dissent (if he should be so advised) after the 16th of March. Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that a clause might perhaps be prepared to enable the Bank to recognise a bona Me trustee, in whose name Stock stood, so as to afford relief to the Petitioner; but to-morrow he should have it in his power to speak decisively upon the subject. After a few words from Mr. BUTTERWORTH and Lord FOLICRSTONR, the Petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.

NEWPORT gave notice that, on Monday next, he should move a Resolution, that on Wednes day, the 24th April, the House be called over, on the discussion of such questions as peculiarly regard the state of Ireland. COURTS. On the motion of Lord A. HAMILTON, returns were ordered for the purpose of sheaving the nature of all Commissions granted to Commissaries or Com missary Clerks since 1810, and the amount of cam. peusation allowed them. NAVY TIME PER MIN. Mr. GRENFELL wished to know from the Secre tary to the Treasury, whether it was his intention to propose the further consideration of the Navy 5 per Cents, Bill ? He also wished to know whether any and what arrangement was made with the Bank as to the yuantons of remuneration to be received by MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. LUSHINGTON, in consequence of the absence of hls Right Hon. Friend, postponed the Superannuation Bill until Monday nest. He also postponed the second reading of the Smugglers' Prevention Bill until Monday next. Mr. DENMAN regretted the latter postponement, as it would prevent him from fulfilling his intention of observing upon this Bill, and particularly on the extent of the powers which it conferred. Mr. LUSHINGTON said, it would appear that there was no way of pleasing s,me Gentlemen opposite. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman now condemneds postponement, which was granted at the special request of the Honourable Member for Durham (Mr. Lambton). Mr. DENMAN was glad that his Honourable Friend meant to direct his attendee to so objectionable a Bid. The House then went into a Committee oa th Silt Manu factures' Act, and the amendments being agreed to, the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow _ The Circuit Commissions Bill passed through a Committee, and the Report was ordered for to-morrow. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND moved for, and obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the mode of account ing for money in the Royal Burghs of ScodAnd. The Bill was then brought in, and read a first time. Mr. LUSH IN GTON brought in a Bill, which was read a first time, for Regulating the Certificates of Attomies. Various Returns from the Colonies were produced, and or dered to be printed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. MALT TAX RESOLUTIONS. The following is'a Copy of the Resolutions agreed to in the Committee on the Malt Tar, reported by Mr. LUSHINGTON on Wednesday night in the House of Commons, and on which a Bill was ordered to be brought in : 1. a That, from and after the 25th day of February, 1822, the duty of excise on malt, charged by an Act made in the ad year of his present Majesty, 6 for continuing to his Majesty certain duties on malt, sugar, tobacco and snuff, foreign spirits, and sweets, in Great Britain, and on pensions, offices, and personal estates, in England, for the service of the year 1821; shall cease and determine, and be no longer paid or payable, except as to any arrear thereof." 2. " That use said duties shall be allowed for and upon all dry unground malt, produced to, and taken account of, by the proper (dicer of excise, after the 15th day of February and be fore the 3d day of March, 18211, as the stock of any maltster or maker of malt for sale, seller or retailer of malt, common brewer, distiller, victualler, or vinegar-maker, and for which all the duties payable by law have been charged or paid, deducting from such account 12 per centum ma brown or porter malt, and S per centum on all other dry unground malt, for the swell and in crease thereof, over the quantity of such malt charged with duty, such allowance to be payable and paid to the holders of such stock, by four equal instalments, en the four usual quarter days,conameneiug rhe sth tray of July, 1822 , ." 8. `Thit t there shall be granted and allowed, for and upon every barrel of strong beer or ale made or brewed after the 25th day of February, 1822, in Great Britain, and for which all the duties payable by law shall have been charged or paid, and which shall be duly exported to foreign parts as rearehandise, a' Idrawback of lea 9d. only, la lies of the drawback now payable on beer so exported." 4.
