She was crossing the street at the time. SLAUGHTER OF THE KING'S HOUNDS.—SOTHE time since the KING'S stag-hounds were sent to Brighton for the purpose of washing them in the sea. Since their arrival they have been almost daily immersed in the brine of ocean, and on account of the growing symptoms of hydrophobia, were often kept in the water until they were nearly exhausted, to render the remedy effective, and, on one occasion, one hound was drowned in the process of this treatment, and one or two others had been with dif f iculty recovered. But all would not do—the evil apprehended a few days ago began se unequivocally to shew itself, that it became dangerous to enter the kennel. This matter of course, was duly reported, and an order in conse quence arrived from the Marquis CORNWALLIS, the Master of the Stag-hounds, for the whole of the pack to be destroyed without further delay, and which order was carried into instantaneous effect—four and- twenty couple of the most valuable and best trained dogs were presently breathless. They were dispatched by the whipper-in and feeder ; the hunts man, SHARP, could not witness the slaughter; his tears evince the agony he feels at their loss; the voice of every dog was known to him—he could almost hold a conversation with them, and every command from his lips would be separately, or collectively. as required, obeyed, so high was the training condition I to which he had brought them. The inefficacy cf'' sea-water immersions, in cases cf canine madness, is thus amply proved. DUEL PREVENILD.—Tuesday evening a meeting was to have taken place at the Fifteen Aci es, in the Fi:cenix Park, Dublin, between R—D IY,q. and It—g—t, of the half-pay, in con sequence of a dispute at a late dinner in the Four Courts Marshalsea. Tlie hour fixed upon for this dread rencontre was seven o'cleck, but information Laving been' given at the Head Police - Office, and horn thence transmitted to the Usher's Quay Divi sion, the ground was previously occupied by a posse of peace others, who, upon the arrival of the first-named Gentleman, rendered him innocuous by seizing the instruments of death with which he was provided. lie and his friend (including a young surgeon) were subwquently conveyed to the office in a hackney cuat.h, and entered into sumacs to Leep the peace. Several Bills were brought up from the Commons. Lord DACRE pot off till next Session his minion on the Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice, that early in the next Session of Parliament, he should introduce a Dill for the Amendment of the Bankrupt Laws. Several Petitions were presented, praying for a revision of the Criminal Laws. _ _ The Sheerness Lands Bill was read a third time, and passed. NAVAL AND MILITARY REDUCTIONS. The Earl. of DARNLEY regretted the want of weight he possessed in the House, especially when they were at the close of a Session distinguished by nothing but apathy on the par t of most Noble Lords towards entering much into public affairs. The I other Home had been a splendid example to the con-1 trary ; for they had been occupied night after night, and week after week, in discussing that subject of economy, which he had now, for the first time, to bring before the House. He most admit, that Ministers had never denied the propriety of a system of economy; but they had never gone far enough ; and his object in bringing this question forward was, to impress upon their Lordships, that notwithstanding the ap parent prosperity and flourishing state of our reve nues and manufactures, all this was fallacious, and that they must go to the root of the evil, by inter posing the remedy of much greater retrenchment. For this purpose, he should propose, that, as heredi tary advisers of the Crown, they should address his Majesty to carry that economy into effect. There might have been no defalcation of any extent in the revenue, because farmers had paid their taxes out of capitals ; but he considered it would be utterly im possible for them to go on for another year in the same way. The Agricultural Horse Tax had been repealed; but that would harass the revenue, with out doing any particular benefit to the farmer, be cause it would not take more than 24 per cent. off the rent of land throughout the kingdom. If agri culture should fail them, they would lose the main spring of all their prosperity. He did not ask their Lordships to go into tedious details of economy, by thousands, but he thought they might by millions. The first was a reduction in the Navy, which he would not have proposed had he thought our safety in any danger from a renewal of hostilities. We had 73 sail of the line fit for service ; nine sail building, and 67 frigates also fit for service. This was suffi-, cient force to meet any supposable difficulty or dan ger. Now he would ask whether it was necessary to order 10 sail of the line to be built, 22 to be re paired, 15 frigates to be built, and 36 to be re paired ? He had heard that it was in contempla tion to remove altogether the Naval yard at Dept ford, which he (the Earl of Darnley) thought a very good measure, because it would be a saving of £149,321. For building vessels in the Thames a sum of £821,000 had been expended; and he thought that lac least £500,000 might be immediately struck off. We had done in former wars extremely well without the necessity of a Basin or Dock-yard at Sheerness, on which £1,200,000 had been expended, and £280,000 during the present year. In the Naval Department alone, he had not the least doubt but that a sum of £BOO,OOO could be saved. With regard to the Army, considerable retrenchments might be made. The ex pense of the Horse and Foot Guards amounted to £315,000. When the finances were so distressed, he could not see why the King should be surrounded byl such a number of household troops ; and, therefore, he thought a reduction ofTbo,ooo might be effected,! without interfering with the splendour of the Crown. In the Cavalry, a saving of £1'20,000 was practica ble; and, upon the whole establishment of the Army, it was not too much to say that two millions sterling might be saved. Even if it was reduced but one tenth, the saving to the Public would be £200,000. There was another item, the necessity of which he could not comprehend; he saw no reason why they should go on multiplying Barracks throughout the kingdom: £260,500 was to be laid out for this pur pose; of this £lOO,OOO might be saved. The Com missariat might be reduced one-fifth, and the Army Extraordinaries one-tenth, which would ma ke a saving of £700,000. With respect to the Ordnance Depart ment, he doubted whether he could propose any re- clnction ; but he thought, that if Ministers were sin cere in their professions of economy, they might, by the sale of certain lands and buildings, now of no use, accomplish a reduction of £lOO,OOO in the Ord nance Department. The Miscellaneous Services were estimated at two millions and a half; a reduction of only ten per cent. would give £250,000. Ile next came to the Civil List. It was true that Royalty ought to be surrounded with splendour, when the prosperity of the country permitted ; but, in times of difficulty and distress, he knew of nothing which could tend more to satisfy the people with their con dition, than to see an example of retrenclunent set by the highest person in the State. Queen Anne had made a sacrifice to the necessities of her people, and it might be said of such acts, that " They became The throned Monarch better than his crown." Ile did not mean to make any invidious allusion to the approaching ceremony of the Coronation, or to his Nl..jesty's intention of visiting any part of his do minions, hut the Civil List lie thought might be re duced £1.50,000. The expense of collecting the Revenue might be diminished perhops half a million, and the whine subject was well deserving of the most serious consideration of Parliament. The Noble Lord concluded by moving the following: no 41 humble .Ichlres, , be prvc.•mrd , o ?rly ing that he will be graciously'pleased to take into his immediate and most serious consideration the difficulties and distri rises of his faithful subjects, and esp ec i a lly o f t h at very impo rt ar k de scription of them whose wealth and subsistence more immediately depend on Agriculture; and that Iris Majesty will be graciously pleased to give such directions as to his Majesty's wisdom shall seem expedient, to diminish the public expenditore•in all the great Departments of the State, INA Civil and Military, as the only effectual means cf permanently relieving those difficulties anti distresses which, if not principally occasioned, are at least materially aggravated by the pressure of accumulated taxation." The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, each of the topics the Noble Lord bad touched on would require a night of their Lordship's discussion. He did not be lieve that any Legislative measure would ever do good to the Agricultural Interest; and his opinion was, that they did harm, not good, by inquiries into it. He affirmed, that Russia, Poland, America, and other great corn countries, write in a state of greater distress than us. He knew the disposition to glut foreign markets with our manufactures ; but he knew that the manufactures of this -country were, gene rally speaking, in a flourishing state. If they left things to themselves, they would turn round, and remedy themselves ; and therefore, consistently with the safety of Government and the country, economy was the safest remedy for our evils, brought on by the long war. The Goverment had reduced the expenditure £1,800,000 competed with that of last year. But economy must be gradual, because they could not drive old and industrious servants out of employment. Every reduction that could be made, consistent with our safety, ought to be resorted to. He knew the reductions were already made and in progress as respects the Navy. There must be wear and tear, and therefore there must be repairs and building constantly going on. The Noble Lord for got the expense of half-pay, and allowances attend ant on the reduction of the Army. With these ez• planations, he was perfectly ready to agree to the Address,samended . by assuring his Majesty, that they viewed with satisfaction the reductions which had already been made ; and praying that he would order still further inquiries into the means of much greater reduction. Earl GROSVENOR gave a decided preference to the original Address. This was not the first time the. Noble Lord opposite had declared himself in favour of economy; but they had waited till they were now in the seventh year of peace, and yet even now they were still told that they must look fors% and for re duction and economy. It was no consolation to us to say that Poland, &c. was as distressed as us ; but the Noble Earl . had forgotten to notice that con quered France was in a far more prosperous state than us, her conquerors. He was surprised to hear that there had been a saving of £1,800,000 when he looked at the total amount of the debt of the coun try. The duty of Government should have attended to economy long ago; and, if it were not imme diately resorted to, this country would be lost. We appeared in a prosperous state ; but we were swal lowing the capital of industry, and nothing could save us but economy. Nothing could destroy the bold and independent spirit of the English ; but wealth was as much as that the sinews of war, and they ought to preserve that in case of a fresh rup ture. In the midst of these difficulties the public distress could not fail to be aggravated by the man ner in which the public money was spent—by the .gaudy shew now preparing. He was convinced that the expenses of the Coronation would far exceed the estimate at first stated; but this was not his greatest objection. The ceremony was altogether unneces sary, on the only ground on which it could be justi fied in the present state of the Country. It conferred no new rigiit—it imposed no new obligation on the King or his People. By opening his Parliament and performing all the functions of sovereignty, his Ma , jesty had taken the oaths to support the privileges cf the nation ; and Parliament and the nation had taken the oath of allegiance to him. This tendered the ceremony a mere useless pageant ; but, in the pecu liarly unfortunate circumstances of the Court, the Coronation was not only unnecessary but highly in judicious. Ministers, Um - dote, had net done their duty by their Sovereign in not advising him against it. He (Lord Grosvenor) vas one of those who had thought that though the law had been clear against the right of her Majesty to be crowned, and that though her Coronation was merely a matter of grace and favour depending on the discietion of her hus band to grant or refuse, yet, that the Coronation of his Majesty would be an ill-advised And injudicious measure, while she was not allowed to participate in the ceremony*. His objection was much strengthened if the law was in favour of her Majesty's claim, and that the law was in her favour appeared probable._ The only example of a King having been crowned to the exclusion of his Queen, when no religious scruple interfered, was said to be that of Henry VII. but it now appeared pretty evident that the solem nization of his marriage teok place after his core nation. But, setting aside any legal reasoning cr reference to precedent, be must again declare that the advice given in favour of a Coronation at the 'present moment was extremely injudicious. It was a pageant which could only be acceptable to the country when it was formed without drawback or alloy—a pageant that should not be exhibited unless it could call froth the public enthusiastic testimonies of joy—uniess it could be viewed by the Churchman with religions zeal and Christian benevolence—unles the historian could describe it in terms of elequeat eulogy—unless the Poet Laureat, catching his f nne from• the popular enthusiasm, could celebrate it in " thoughts that breathe and words that burn"— , unless this was the case, the splendid shew ought not to take place. The lice, the spit it, the charm of t!.:e ceremony ((insisted in its harmony with the good sense and sound feeling of the s entintry. When on this subject, he could not but allude to a report which he had heard—that all the troops from the neigh bourhood were to be called into the metropolis cn the occasion, that his Majesty might be attended with more nu tnerotts enards, and the scene be hemmed
