r: ~ i i :$ 4 ~a by declaring, that the House had as much right to inquire into the Civil List, as into any other branch of the expenditure . Sir. S. WORTLEY was of opinion that the House could not form a judgment of the whole arrangements until the details were brought under its consideration. With regard to the Super annuation Fund, he certainly thought it a lit question for the consideration of the House. He could not sit down without expressing his gratitude to his Majesty, for the way in which he had reduced his establishment, and be hoped the country would accept this as a boon. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, his Right Hon. Friend bad no wish at that time to pledge Members to his plan, but to give them time to consider it before the details should be laid brore the House. He agreed that the system of Superan nuation was a system capable of abuse, and that the late Bill was particularly liable to many objections : but he must say, the state ment made by his Right Hon. Friend was calculated to repel the charge of abuse. It appeared that 1800 persons, who had been superannuated in the political departments, had served upon an average nearer 30 than 21 years, and that the average age of these persons was not less than 65. There might be cases of e truer superannuation, but evidently they must have been few. Were they to cast old servants on the world because age had disabled them ? If such were the policy of any country, that country must suffer for it. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had talked of a great number of healthy, vigorous, young men, who had retired at a convenient allowance; but be could assure the House that it had uniformly been the anxious endeavour of his Nleirsty's Government to ascertain that individuals were u 'fit for service before they were permitted to retire.,-en— , The Honourable Member complained that a sum of 200,0001. was an inadequate reduction on a fund of 5.000,0001. but the Ilottoureble Member laid out of his calculation the great ex pense of collecting the revenue, which would deprive him of more than half his argument, for out of 4,000,0001. only 1,600,000. was applicable to the present question. He would not dog that et ry large reductions might be made in the col lection of the revenue. Committees were at that moment sitting on every branch of the revenue. The Honourable Member for Aberdeen, when he had no better reason to give for a proposi tion, immediately jumped to a conclusion, and maintained , the necessity of making a reduction of 25 per cent. Now his Bight honourable Friend had stated, that when the House , came to the details it would appear that a reduction had been made to the extent of £0 per cent. Was the House to be told, 1 , then, that this was an inadequate saving, and that it fell short of the xpectations of the country? He did not deprecate dis cussion ; on the contrary, he was anxious that the House should investigate every proposition which had been submitted to them, but be trusted the House did not participate in the feeling of the Horourable Member for Aberdeen. The Honourable Mem ber complained, that his Right Honourable Friend bad not reduced everything to the standard of 1797--(Hear, hear). — Now, his Right Honourable Friend had stated, that since the year 1797 the business of the Treasury had increased six fold. In 1797 the number of documents brought under the con sideration of the Treasury did not exceed 4,000; in the two last years they amounted to 24,000. Was it extraordinary, then, that when the business of the Treasury had increased at this rate, there should be an increase of nine officers in this depart ment, espt daily when it was considered that the Irish Treasury was annexed to it since 1797, and that two or three clerks were exclusive ly employed on Irish business? His Right Hon. Friend had stated, that in this single department of the Treasury, which might have been supposed to be more favoured than any other, there was an actual reduction of thirty-three per cent. exclusive of the five per cent. applied to the Superannuation Fund. The Civil list had afforded the lion. Member another opportu nity of indelging in that rich repast of detail with which be had on so many t. rmer occasions nauseated the House. Whatever might be the lion. Member's taste for detail, the taste of Parha m le was of a very different description; and it was neither the pra:tic.- nor the province of Parliament—he had almost said, it w s within the competence of Parliament—to enter into the question of the Civil List, except at the instance of the Crown. 'With respect to the communication of his Majesty's gracious de sire to share in the difficulties of Isis subjects, he could assure the Molise, that if his Majesty had indulged his own feelings, they vs mild have had no limit but that of best contributing to the wants of the People. Mr. BEN N could not see what interest the clerks had in this affair, as they had not the mauagement of the funds. Many had been superannuated for the sake of putting others In their room. It was too much to call upon the country to pay both for the services of ch rks and also for their improvidence. From the hr.! Lord of the Treasury, who had £6600. a year, £6OO. se...s to be taken ; whilst from a junior clerk, at £125. a year, sees. was to be taken away. It was quite insulting that the Great • file ne of State should have such enormous salaries, and on a (inure day hr should move for their reduction. The Noble Lord had almost doubted the competence of the House to is •nto the Civil List, though nothing could be more uncon stitutional. He objected to the plan generally, particularly that the Pension List vas not to be reduced. It was the duty of the House to eubtract as much from pensions as they had done from eie sahibs of clerks—( I lear). Sir W. 1W CR SP IGNY could not but express his satisfac tion at the conduct of his Majesty, who had the decision of set ting an example of retrenchment. With regard to the relief which the Noble Lord had proposed to the country, it was much the same as if the Noble Lord, standing easy himself, and sur rounded by men groaning under heavy burdens, and crying out to him for relief, should take front each of their burdens a single feather, and say—`• Go now, be quiet and happy, for see I have relieved you !"—( A laugh). hlr. WA 'IRE inquired whether the same reductions were to e place in Ireland as in England? and whether the allow ances to Foreign Ambassadors were to be reduced, both of which he thought would be of much importance? He thought it would be better, if the salaries afforded to public men during their service were to be considered as their whole remuneration; ard that they should regulate their expenses accordingly. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, in explanation, that the offices in Ireland were all paid out of the Consolidated Fund, which was open to the consideration of the House. The sacrifice on the part of his Majesty had been great ; although the Civil List was numerically about £1,500,000, yet only ,C 290,000 was at the personal disposal of the Sovereign; and they would find that of the whole fund a large reduction had been made. Mr. WYNN thought the principle of economy required a strict regard to superannuation. There were melancholy exam ples of men holding office when they were unable to discharge its duties. That had been the case of Lord Mansfield, who held the office of Chiet Justice of the Court of King's Bench for five years after he had been unable to perform the duties. Fir J. iORKE wished to know if the reduction which the King bad proposed was to extend to the allowances of the Royal 7 roily ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that the allow ances of the Royal Family were not placed on the Civil List, but on another fund, in order that any saving which was made on them might he immediately beneficial to the Public. elr. P. MOORE objected to the Bill being hurried through the House. He well recollected the opinion of his friend Mr. Sheridan, who always stated that there was a great misappre hension in attributing the absorption of the Civil List to the Crown. That list was applied for other purposes; but as the information which the House ought to require was promised, he should content himself at present by merely moving that the Committee should report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Sir M. W. RI DLEY was not prepared to support the motion of his Honourable Friend (Mr. Moore). The Resolution, as proposed by the Right Honourable Gentleman , did not pledge the House to the details of the measure. There was no pledge exacted, by agreeing to that Resolution, to support theßill in all Is clauses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that the reduction would take place, in certain cases, from the sth of January, and in others from the sth of April and sth of July. Mr. CA LCRA FT had no objection to the principle of su perannuation. He objected to persons with small salaries of 501. or 1001. contributing at all to the Fund. Upon a fund of two millions there would be a saving of 200,0001. and that he admitted was very considerable. Mr. W. Shlll . ll said he should support the Resolution,with the understanding that he was not by that vote bound to support the details of the measure. Mr. P. MOORE did not wish, under the impression of the House, to persevere in kis motion for the Committee's reporting progress. Mr. HUME wished to ascertain what the deduction was to be from all pensions above 5001. per annum, held at pleasure? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that Was a question depending on the future decision of Parliament. Mr. W. PHILIPS did not conceive that a reduction of 2(thele!. or 2,000,000/. was a aufficicut reduction when the 0 7'n - . • landed and menu kneeklistilrin` viel isk s fog ream reduction under the alinnesse erase ccsatry.is sop l cdve properties. After a few words from the 111ffirquis of Lonsesissenv and Mr. UMIAK% the Resolutions were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received to-morrow. MUTINY DILL. • Lord PALMERSTON moved the second reading of the Mutiny Bill. Mr. HUMS observed. that in the present etate of the Hain he should not oppose the second reading of the SW; but gave notice, that upon the Report be should call the attention of the House to that clause under which the Crown assumed the power of dismissing Officers without Court-Martial—(Hear, hear). Mr. GURNEY trusted that the attention of some Honourable Member of greater influence than he possessed, would be di rected to the crying evil of continuing enlistment foi life. Mr. WETHERELL wished to know from the Honourable Member for Aberdeen (Mr. Hume) whether it was his inten tion, in his motion, upon the Report of th em e Mutiny BIU, to deny the power of the Crown to dismiss Officers without trial? Mr. HUME—Yes; that will be the object of my motion. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, after which the House adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ROY AL MILITARY COLLEGE.

The law for repressing offences of the Preis has been adopted in the Chamber of Peers, by a majority of 130 to Si. It was afterwards presented to the KING. In the Chamber of Deputies the discussion on the Accounts was continued on Thursday and Friday. On the latter day, a Committee made their Report on the project of law for giving Pensions to the French Phy sicians who had been to Barcelona during the plague. These Papers shew that the disaffected spirit that has been engendered among the French Students has not been suppressed. On Friday afternoon, while M. THENARD, Professor of Chemistry, was giving a lecture in the Jardin des Plantes, some individuals, who were not students, entered the Hall and inter rupted the Professor, who terminated his lecture, saying, " The friends of science are the friends of peace." At the conclusion, when the Students wished to retire, they found all the avenues filled with gens •d'armes. M. THENARD begged that his pupils might be allowed to pass, but this was refused. Some of the Students, irritated at this refusal, struck the officer's horse with their canes and umbrellas. The officer drew his sabre, the gens d'armes charged on the young men, one of whom was severely wounded by a blow of a sabre on his shoulder: another was also wounded. No one was suffered to pass without tickets, and those who possessed them were strictly examined by a Commissary of Police. Some scaled the walls ; but such as could not escape were taken and conducted to the Prefecture of Police. The Journal des Debats states upwards of sixty persons were arrested, but it denies that any person was wounded. It appears that on Thursday, at eleven or twelve o'clock, a large number of Students (the Journal de Paris says three or four thousand), a party of which had sticks, assembled on the place St. Genevieve, amidst the cries of " Five le Roi ! Vire la Motel Mire la Liberti !"—A detachment of Cavalry was sent with all speed to disperse them. (The Journal de Paris says some of the persons were wounded). — Three or four young men were arrested and con , ducted to the Prefectute of Police. Bodies of mili tary are stationed in various parts of Paris, where new tumults were constantly breaking out. The Moniteur, which is silent on all these dis turbances, gives an order, made by the Council of the Academy in Paris on the Bth instant, excluding five Students, who are specially named, from the lectures of the Academy for two years. The intelligence from Rennes states, that on the 3d instant two persons had been arrested for crying Vive l'Enspereur. The Journal of Nantes states that the process against the authors of the rebellion of General Batt 'MON has commenced at Saumur. Nearly a hundred individuals, who had formkd part of his hand, have been arrested, and detachments are in pursuit of the General. - • The intelligence from Madrid in these Papers is to the 2d instant. On the 26th of February, Rim° was installed President of the Cortes by a great ma jority. On quitting the hall of the Congress, he was saluted with the acclamations •of an innumerable crowd of persons. On the Ist instant the KING opened the Ordinary Cortes in person. He declared his entire satisfaction with the Cortes, which offered a new pledge of the stability of the Constitutional Authority, and a new proof of the security and the confidence with which the Legislature proceeded. He congratulated the Cortes on the prospect of continued peace—on the in ternal ameliorations which had taken place in the country—on the exertions of the Government to sup port agriculture, encourage industry, to rescue com merce from every fetter, and to open all the sources of national prosperity.. He concluded by declaring his firm hope in the wisdom of the Cortes to corn plete all those plans which have for their object to consolidate the liberty and glory of Spain. The President 11rEao, dressed in the uniform of an Aid-de-Camp to the King, replied to his MAJESTY. The difficult circumstances, he said, in which the country was placed, the continued efforts of the enemies of liberty, and the resistance that had con. scantly been made on the part of those who hated all Reform, demanded great energy on the part of the pr.- ; sent Government to consolidate the political system. The Cortes would take into immediate consideration the measures that should be proposed for that pur pose by his MAJESTY. In raising the nation to that degree of prosperity to which it was called, they would endeavour, at the same time, to give a new glory to the Constitutional Throne of his Majesty, and shew to all the world that the real power and grandeur of a Monarch alone consisted in the strict administration of the laws. When the PRESIDENT had concluded, the Kix° left the Hall with the same ceremonial in which he had entered, amidst the repeated cries of "Long .live the Cortes, the Constitutional King, and the Spanish Nation !" A new Ministry has been formed from the moderate party in the Cortes. The following are their names' Minister of Foreign Affairs—M. Martinez de la Rosa. Minister of the Interior—Don Joseph Altamira. Minister of the Colonies—Don Manuel de la Bodega, Ez- Deputy of Lima. Minister of Finances—D. Felipe de Sierra Pamplez. Minister of War—Brigadier Lialanzat. Alinister of Marine—Brigadier Ramarote.

BERMUDA, DECEMBER 10. As the commercial business of this Colony bas been in a lan guishing state for some time past, we are much pleased in dis cerning a gleam which we hope will lighten our future prospects. The Irish Papers received this morning are rather favourable. The Cork PapLrs state, that the Insurrection Act has, by the mere terror of its name, hitherto subdued the spirit of insur rection in that County; and the Limerick News says---i , No murder has been done in this County since our last. A cessa tion from this horror, for even half a week, is consoling."— It was, iodeed, high time fbr such a cessation, as it appears that one of the Coroner's for the County of Limerick had, since last September, held no less than twenty-six inquests, twenty-five of which were for murder! The Special Session at limerick has been adjourned, and Serjeant Toxarxs has proceeded to Rath keale,where several men have been committed under the Insur rection Act. The destruction of property in Limerick is dreadful. Ma. Courrs's Fusizem..—Wednesday, about five o'clock, the remains of Mr. Courrs arrived at the George Inn, Windsor, where a room hung with black, and decorated with escutcheons, was prepared to receive the coffin. Mrs. Courrs attended as chief mourner. 'The hearse, with the family arms handsomely emblazoned on it, was drawn by six horses, and preceded by eight men on horseback attired in mourning -cloaks, next to whom were three persons bearing a plume: following the hearse came two mourning-coaches and six and a private carriage and four. The procession started on Thursday morning, in the same order, for %Yrs:ton Abbey, near Banbury, the place of interment. A report has been some days in circulation, of an intention to compliment the King of Dzsataat with the Order of the Garter. Sir GEORCIM NATLIte, it is raid, is to proceed on the mission forthwith. What return the King of beineass is to make, we cannnot so positively state : rumour says the acknowledgment is to appear in the shape of a Royal Bride I ENOILISU Orre4ll HOUSIL•-•NATHIWS commenced his enter tainments last night, under the title of The Youthful Days of Mr. lifuthetos i a very pleasant Melange of anecdote, incident, song, and drollery. It was divided into three parts, the first two detailing his adventures, the last representing a succession of characters chiefly alluded to in the preceding parts. Ma. rums begins with the details of his boyhood, and proceeds through his early intercourse with the stage, enlivening his nar rative with characteristic sketches of some remarkable persons,. Mac use, Tare Wu.rirson, Coosa, &c. Some of these exhibited great aroitness and accuracy. Some of his songs, or rather recitations, were very amusing, and the whole entertain ment was received by a full house with continued applause. A disturbance took place at Buckingham, on Saturday night, occasioned by a deduction being made from the wages of the men I employed by the Parish. The stipulated sum is 6d. a day each, for which they are expected to be at work from six o'clock in the morning till six in the evening ; but not being so punctual to the time as was reqUired, the price of a day's labour was kept back. The men, wishing to ask a Magistrate's opinion on the subject, went for that purpose to Mr. NeWMAN, who declined to give them a bearing at his house; on which they became very riotous, and the constables attempting to apprehend the leaders, they were much opposed : they at last succeeded in apprehend ing one man, but not till after the Riot Act had been read. The or six others have been since committed to prison. Daositzoa Etscriox.—Gross Poll on 'Thursday last For Mr. PINTLAIID 259 Per Mr. Mane SMYTH . . 259 Majority for Mr. Pentland - On the 4th inst.

'His Mauer!, embracing a period of sunshine, was on the Palace Lawn yesterday. The KINO, Royal Suite, and Household, attended Divine Service to-day, in the new Private Chapel, in Castle-square. In the same pew with his MAJESTY were the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Lord Steward, and the Prussian Ambassador. His MAJESTY was plainly attired in blue, with a black cravat, and wore a star. During the favourable intervals the Dukes of WEL LINGTON and DZVONSITIRE, and other noble Person ages, took walks on the Steyne this afternoon. Goth Dukes appeared in the enjoyment of excellent health, though his Grace of DEVONSHIRE, it is sail!, has re cently received a wound from the lightning of "a Lady's black eye," that may involve the creation of a Duchess in its cure!

In the adjourned examination of James Harrison and 'Mary Young, yesterday, at Hatton Garden Police ()Mee, they both clearly established an olibi. and were instantly discharged. CORONER'S INQUEST. A respectable Jury sat at the Workhouse, in Gray's Inn-lane, at three o'clock, and having, with the Coroner, Mr. Svnitisc. viewed the body, which lay at the house in Robert -street, they returned to the Jury-room, and examined witnesses. Mr. Lewis Hensley, Surgeon, deposed as to the nature of tLe wounds. lie found a deep wound on the left side of the neck, passing from the jugular vein in a slanting direction towards the vertebra, the instrument having divided both the internal and external jugular vein and carotid artery. 'There was another wound on the right side of the neck, near the back part, pro bably inflicted with the same instrument as the former wound. He should think it must have been a pointed double-edged knife, or some instrument of that kind, probably about half an inch across the blade, that was used in the perpetration of the horrid deed. The other injuries he observed were a few slight bruises on the legs and arms, and the forcible removal of the ring finger of the left hand: it was cut off at the second joint, and probably by the same instrument with which the other wounds were in flicted. It might be as well to mention, that both the wounds were stabs, and not cuts; the instrument, therefore, must have been sharp pointed. The bruises that he had referred to were in all probability produced by the struggling of the deceased, either prior to her receiving the wounds, or at the time she fell. 'Mrs. Sarah Cheney, Mrs. Mary Earle, Mr. Monk, the col stable of the night, William Walton, the watchman, and Win. Bobon, the patrol, gave evidence, the substance of which adds nothing to the information on the subject we gave yesterday. Mary Ann Young, the young woman who, with her step-fa ther, had been in custody on suspicion of the murder, deposed as follows:-She lives at 16, Baker's-row, Clerkenwal. She had attended on the deceased occasionally nearly two years ; they agreed very well together, but sometimes there might be a t; !fling difference about something. Witness lived with her mother. but went sometimes in the middle of theday to do jobs or go of mes sages for the deceased ; hut slept there every night. She some times went there at eight o'clock, and sometimes not till past eleven or twelve. On Saturday last witness left the deceased at half-past seven in the morning, and after leaving her a loaf of bread, did not return until half-past ten at night, when site found a crowd collected before the door, and then heard of the murder. Witness bad no sweetheart or other person come to visit her at the deceased's, neither did she ever describe the si tuation of the house to any person, nor had she any suspicion by whom the murder was committed. The back door was always bolted, both day and night. Harriot Perceval and Elizabeth Ryans were examined, but tie new fact was elicited. The Jury, at ten o'clock, returned a verdict of-- 44 WiUaL Murder, against some person or persons unkuown." LONDON ; hinted and published by Lava. Kcal, l'iacti Place, Tentes-Bu. a
