He thought it would he for the credit of the house, as well as the individuid, to sutler this bushiest' not to pottered farther. Mr. H. SUMNER wished to know in what character he was to proceed, whether as accused or itecuser Mr G. BEN N Elf observed, :het there had been heats on all sides, but lie had forgotten them t however, he knew Dot what result could take place, because there were SO gentlemen who had put themselves in a passion; 25 heirs;; on one side, and 25 being puimt blank on the other, Would it be credituble to the house, to have it known, wherever the English lanetetze was read, that 30 gestilenum of the bourse of CllllllOOll6 bad put themselves iu a passion on a private bill ? (Hear, hear I) The SPEAKER said it might facilitate the business, t o delfty to ascertain the real facts of the case, Ile added that the individuals who had endeavoured w vote, alter the question bed been put, had dour so improperly. The dome ought to be lucked before the rineetion was pet ; but if that did not take place, the introduction of fresh members after the question had barn put could not be justified. The SPEAKER then very promptly called on the next member, Sir E.

Mr. LITTLETON observed, that as the objections that had been made, they could be considered itt it commit. tee. He did not want to make it imperative on church wardens to go from door to door. Bill rend a second time, and ordeted to be committed un Friday twee Mr. D. GILBERT moved the second femeng of the Bill fur conwlidating tne turnpike roads' trusts' acts. He ad verted to this Cast's in other countries, where the governments had token the managemeatt of the roads into their ewe heath; there the leading roads were magnificent, hut the smeller ones were hot attended to. Private laws ',fight have their uses, but, like human productions. they had their defects ; mid therefore he considered this bill would be useful. IV hoped they would state the Bill to be read it second time, sad then the minute errungemenis could be more propene considered in a committee. The roads within ten miles of London were not what they ought to be, exwnples to the rest of the empire; but he slid nut want to extend the hill to Lbsex, for he undetstood the su re good there. Under all the circumstunce. he trusted that tie re ssuuld he no ob jection to Isis nastiest. that the bill be pule read a second time. Sir C. KN ATCH HU IL opposed the Bill.

A reinarkatile peculiarity in this division was, that Mr. Ties 'ley, Sir J. Macintosh, Lued A. Hamilton, &c, voted with the ministers on This motion. . . . . 1111. HU.IE also, b, fore. the Speaker left the chair, next mese,' a long remolinian- that it be an instruction to the committee to take into consideratitio the recommendation of the fiancee committee of 1817—to revise all the civil offices, 4:e. and as they became vacant, to adopt new re gulations respeetingdliern, where they should be deemed necessary. Lord A. HAMILTON seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the resolution, and contended that considerable teduction had taken place in the last two or three years. Whenever a vacancy occurred, inquiry was mode if the place could be abolished entirely; and a here that could be done, the salaries had in' must instances been reduced. He de fended the system oftentuneration t 5 public servants anti their widows, which, he contended, were beneficial to the public services. Sir J. NEWPORT condemned the allowance to many of the retired officers, as too large, and particularly that to Lord "larawley. Mr. D. Brune and Mr. W. Pole defended Lord TA. rawley. A long discussion followed. Mr. HUME ultimately withdrew his resolution, and the house a ent into a Ctivilajltet Lord PA LMEIOTON, alter stating that the fir , t retro hititm referred to the Was Office, mo%eit that 30,11!s1. ' 18s. Bd. be granted so his Majesty to defray the dial ge of allowances for the office of the Secretary at War. Col. DAVIES observed, that doling itie war, when the (Into a of this ollice were ten times greater than at pi esent, the whole cost of the War Office iu I An aas 3;',3531. anti to confine the expenditure of Site present !o that suin would scarcely be unreasonable ; he, however, was dis posed to be satisfied with a Malley reduction, and lie should therefore move, us au aniendment, a vote of 43,0001. instead of 30,4t131. Lord PALMERSTON would be content to take for the present year the War Office estimate of ISJ6; the charge of 1806 being, not 37,3351. as the hon. and gallant member apposite had stated, trot 59,830. some liandreds above the estimate now demanded. It should be remem bered, however, that in 1 00 the constitution of the War Office was adapted only to the transacting of the current business ; and that it vas not until the year '&00 that the department for the settlement of arrear accounts, the charge of which for the present year was 17,0001. was established by the Treasury. Col. DAVIES was 'early to stake his credit that the estimate for 1806, as it appeared from the papers in the possession of the house, did not exceed 370451. Mr. HUME insisted that the noble lord opposite (Pal merston) had increased at every point the expense of his department, and was prepared to prove, that if 20,0001. a year more was voted to that department, the noble lord would find employment for every shilling of it. In 1514, when this country had 236,000 men under arms, the esta blishment of the War Office, the stiocrammation list, cost 32,1361. and it had gone on increasing, tram year to year, until the cost of 1521 was laid at 04,6.201.; so that the economy of the noble lord had efft erect an increase, since 1814, of about 2,5001. He did believe that by attention and economy the expense of that office might be reduced nearly one half; but as half a loaf was better than :to bread, he should support tile amendment of his hon. friend near him (Col. Davies) for the reduction of 5,0001. Sir H. YARNELL complained of the amount of the superamiliation list, and particularly referred to the esta blishment of commissioners of military accounts ill liclaild. Lord PA LAIERsTON said that the II ish boat d of coins missicners were appointed by act of parliament. Mr. W. Smith and Col. Davies enforced the necessity of ecoaomiaing toe military establislinient. Mr. H. 0. BENNET ridiculed the idea of any saving having been voluntarily made by the noble lord and his Majesty's ministers. In fact, whatever saving had been effected in the military establishment was forced from them by a sort of gentle ravishment. (A laugh.) Mr. bIABERLY objected to the present system of 1, agency," and contended, that 15,0901. per amtum (the Italia the charge) might be saved, if government took the agency luau its own hands, Lord PALMERSTON defended the present agency system, on the giound that it atturded considerable faci lities to olficets, when, for instance, they wished to ex change from one regiment to another, which, were it dit lc rently conducted, (114 could not possess. Mr. T. WILSON ram eased his determination to vote for the saving of 5,0001. which he conceived could be leered under the item of agency, Lord PALMERSTON said the present vote had nothing to do with the agency, which was included fu the vote for hind forces agreed to some days ago. Mr, CREEVEY said, or found that they were indebted to the Secretai y at %Vat , 20001.; to a first clerk, 1,411(11. and to a principal CILI it, 1,2001.
