The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, last night, brought forward his Plan relative to the Army and Navy Pensions. The principle formerly proposed, that of extending the dead weight of the pensions, as it is called, over a period of forty-Ave years, is still adhered to ; and the only difference is in the mode by which it is to be effected. Ministers having failed in getting any chartered body or great capitalists to become contractors, have determined to vest the pro- - -.- posed fixed Annuities of £2,800,000 for forty•five years in the hands of Trustees, to be appointed by Parliament; and that the said Annuity should be charged upon the Consolidated Fund. The sum to be providel for by the Trustees, will, in the first year, be £3,900,000, and gradually be decreasing, until, in the sixteenth year, it will be somewhat less than the Annuity received, and in the forty-fifth year be only £309,000. In order to enable the Trustees to provide for the excess of payments over the receipts for the first six- teen years, they will be empowered to sell such por ticns of the Annuity as may be necessary for that purpose, but so as that no greater amount of Annuity should be sold or disposed of, in any one year, than would be sufficient to raise the sums necessary to complete the ►vhole of the payments to be made within the year, or to discharge and pay off the prin cipal and interest of any Exchequer Bills which may have been issued on account of such payments by the Lords of the Treasury : these Exchequer Bilk, and the interest upon them, to be charged and satisfied by the said Trustees, out of any monies arising froM the sale of the Annuities, or out of the dividends thereof, Thus the Trustees have two modes of rais- ing the money, either by the sale of Annuities, or by (, isquing Exchequer Bills, whichever may be most con ve.nierit or most advantageous. This plan, if adopted, will produce a present saving of £2,200,000, of which £400,000 is to be reserved as a Sinking Fund for new pensions, and the remain ing £1,800,030 is to be remitted in taxes. The prin cipal reduction is to be in the Salt Tax, which, in England, is at present 15s. a bushel, and in Scotland Gs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed to reduce the duty in both countries to 2s. per bushel, ‘ 4 s. being the amount of the duty now payable in Ire land, which would be attended with the further ad vantage of equalizing the duty in both parts of the 'United Kingdom ; but to prevent inconvenience to persons engaged in the trade, the reduction is not to take effect until the sth ofJanual y next. The amount of the tax thus reduced is estimated at I:1,300,000. The next reduction proposed is half of the Leather Tax, amounting to £300,000 a-year, which will place the duty on the same footing as it was from the reign of Queen ANNE to the year 1812, when the increase of duty took place. The other reductions are the Irish Window and Hearth Taxes, £250,000 a-year ; and the repeal of the War Tonnage Duty, continued . during the peace, amounting to £150,000, making a total of £2,000,300. This is £200,000 more than the proposed appropriation of savings in the Pensions, but it is calculated .that the increased consumption of salt and leather will cover a considerable portion of this excess. This Plan produced considerable discussion in the Mouse: the principal point of debate 'was_as to the. policy of resorting to the Sinking Fund for the defi ciency of the Pensions for the first fifteen years, in stead of the new and complicated machinery by which it was proposed to be raised. Mr. Hums moved an Amendment to this effect, which was negatived. Of the relief afforded by the remission Of the Taxes there can be but one opinion; the reduction of the on Salt must be felt by every individual in the Igdom ; the abolishing of the odious impost on the indows and Hearths in Ireland, must also be a benefit to that country ; and we trust that some means will be adopted for ensuring to the Public the ivantage of the reduction of the Tax on Leather ; is too often the case, that although the con is the first to feel the oppression of a new Tax, . • I, he is the last ao.benefit by I of one already established.

Great preparations were made for their reception. HIS MAJESTY'S PARTY TO RECEIVE 111 E PRINCE AND PRINCESS Or DENMARK —Every rarity and deli cacy was provided at the dinner for the entertainment of the Royal strangers, on. Thursday evening. The splendid and magniticert gold and sifter state service was used upon the occasion ; the second course was served up on the former, and the whole of the pre parations were as superb as any that have been given by his MAJESTY for a considerable time. The whole of the state rooms were set apart for the evening party, with the exception of the grand drawing-room, set apart for the dinner party, and the room leading to it. They were brilliantly illuminated with wax lights, and tastefully decorated with growing plants and blown flowers, from tht: Royal gat dens of Ken sington and Kew. A little before ten o'clock a de tachment of the Royal Horse Guards arrived in Pall mall, to regulate the carriages of those who had the honour of being invited to their Sovereign's party. Townsend, Sayer, and a numerous assemblage of the Bow-street officers and patrol were in attendance, to preserve order. The private entrance, opened on Levee and other public days, was opened on this oc casion, for the reception of chairs h•zia the Palace yard. The company began to arrive a little before ten o'clock, and were conducted by the Pages in Waiting across the grand hall, through the octagon hall, to the state apartments, the same way as those who have the privilege of the entro on Levee days. The band pla)ei occasionally, as the company ar rived, who appeared all in full Court Messes. —His MAJESTY was dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, wearing several foreign Orders, with which lie has been invested, in compliment to the Royal strangers, including that of the Danish Orders, and the ribbon, which we understand is of the Elephant. The Duchess of K ENT, attended by Gen. - WETHERELL, and the Baroness de SPA EDTH, was among the first who arrived. The Doke of DEVONSHIRE also arrived early, and after making his obeisance to his MAJESTY, left the Royal Palace, having a numerous party to entertain at Devonshire House. The company were supplied with a profusion of choice fruit and confec tionery, by the Royal Pages, and other attendants, in the octagon room. Card-tables were provided for the company, but they did not appear* to have any attracticn. At 12 o'clock. the Prince and Princeis cf DENMARK took leave of'his MAJESTY, and left the Palace ; they were again saluted by the band of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, with our loyal Na tional AntheM, Cop save the King. The Princess Au cvsrA 3010 the Duchess of KENT followed directly after, and the general company departed as soon as the carriages could be brought up.

In order to diversify the sports at Epsom on Thursday. a subscription purse of £25 was collected. for a fight between Dick Curtis and the younger Cooper, the gyro y. It took place in the railed hollow, where the plate horses saddle, and in the hurry to encircle the field of blood, hundreds of elegant females had a peep if they chose, as they were snugly wedged is. A smart battle of 22 minutes duration was fought, and much sci ence was displayed. ROUND 1. - After exchanging several hits, Curtis floored his adversary by a blow on the throat. 2. The Gypsey placed a ealking facer, but he was countered, and sprung upon.with astonishing alacrity, and both fell. and 4 were manfully maintained, but Curtis outfought hi; adversary at all points. In the 7th round Cooper gave a turn to the battle by getting his adversary down; but aker this, it was the horse Moses to a Donkey. Like the fernier, Curtis spewed all the blood, sci ence, and activity he was distinguished for; and it was nu di:- credit to Cooper to have had enough' from the bands of one of the best fighters of the day. Curtis won it carefully, but easy. A second terrible rufflaning battle was fought on the extre mity of the Course. It was meant at first to be for lose, but hostilities were suspended whilst a purse of five guineas was raised. It lasted 18 minutes only; but the time was so busily spent that their faces were as round as puddings : there was no sight between them, nor could a nose be seen. Their names were Baddeley and Hodgkins, navigators; and the former won it, if it could be called a win. Friday sennight, an affray took place at Pitnacree. Two men, who had been drinking together in a public-house,quarrelled over _ _ their liquor. and froniw;rds proceeded to blows. The scuffle went on until they reached the top of a stair, down which one of them fell, or was throws, and dragged his companion along with him. The former fell on his skull, which was dreadfully fractured, and expired on the spot; the latter, although stunned, speedily repined his feet, and made his escape. Wednesday se'nnight, while three men were em. Played in cutting out a large stone from the side of Kingoodie gnome, near Dundee, it came down un expectedly, when one of them was tossed from the scaffolding to the bottom of the quarry, a height of fifty-one feet, and only received a trifling cut on the head, and some slight scratches on the fice!

A Central Committee has been formed at Tralee, who have divided the county of Kerry into six dis tricts, or Baronial Committees, havh:g authority to , appoint parochial deputies to inquire into, and report on, the state of their respective parishes.

The Central Committee have submitted a memorial to the Irish Government, in which, after enumerating the neglect that part of the. country had suffered in consequence of absentee landlords, recommend the following public works for improving the harbours, on such points of the coast as are most favourable for export: Ist. The erection of a pier within the bay of Tralee, which will tend most materially to improve the trade of that port. , id.
