KISH begs to rail the attention of his Friends to the unpa ralleled Succeis of his Offices, in preceding block Lotteries; as he shared and sold precedent of the appointment of any Committee . to in veiniest, the Civil List at the e ncement of a new reign, end he saw no reason why they should in this instance depart from the practice of their ancestors. It was true, that upon this occasion they stood upon 'vantage ground. Every branch of the Civil List having been thoroughly and minutely investigated in 1816, not four years ago, but this rendered the more unnecessary any investigation now, particularly as the exarninat . in Vs 16 took plare whilst the Govern ment was alituinistered by the Illustrious Personage• now upon the Throne, who was then Regent. As to the suggestion of the Noble Marquis, of still further separating the charges of the Civil. Government from the snits appropriated to the Crown anti the Royal Fussily, he (Lord Liverpool) doubted the practicabi lill% of at least the expedienci i of making any fur ther sqparation of these classes of expenditure, as be not only saw no advantage to he gained from that course of proceeding, hut he thought the insulation of the King and the Royal Family from the Civil Go vernment of the country would be rather prejudicial than otherwise, it being in a great degree essential to the practice of the Constitution, that the King should remain connected as at present with the expenditure of theWivil Government. As to the preventing of fluctuation, it must be obvious that the expenditure of the Royal Moosehead natio be equally liable to fluc- i with that of any private individual. Ile saw me advantage whatever to be gained by the investiga tion suggested by the Noble Marquis, that of 1816 being amply sufficient for every present purpose. Lord KING, had it not been for what had been said by the Noble Earl, slionlel have thought a Com mittee almost a matter of course, and that no two No hie Lords scarcely could differ about it. As to what was said about 1816, it was altogether a fallacy. wia applied to the present period ; ISI6 was a year of the most lavish expenditure, of the highest prices, and of a depreciated currency ; it must be obvious, therefore, that to give the same nominal sum now was in fact a very considerable increase. This was a strong additional reason for the proposed investiga tion. Ile agreed also with his Noble Friend, that it was highly desirable to get rid of that extreme com plication of accounts which at present characterized the . Civil List. His idea was, that the Civil List should be so arranged as to make it the interest of the Crown to be economical ; at present, by the late arrangement there was no limit to the increase of ex pease ; as in the clays of foreign Ministers, for in stance, every appointment made entitled the verty ap ' pointed, after a certain period, to half-pay, and thus I there was a continual temptation to appoint persons 1;4.533, First t 50.000 f'onsols. 1.4.011, Last AO,UIIO Consols. 9.953, First 40,000 Consols. 3.11:3, First 10,000 Consols. t.,107.

He mentioned the subject particularly, as to-morrow was the last slay for re' eiv ing petitions on Private Bills.

Mr. WHITBREAD presented a petit' from the Middlesex Watermen of the River Thames, complain lug of the great insecurity of Loudon-bridge, the 'danger that attinsled life and property, and the inter ruption it gave to the navigation of the River. Sir W. Cr RTIS admitted, that after she presents tion of the petitions souse inquiry into the state vf the bridge was necessary, although he beiierett it was not in the state of danger sleveribed. Mr. F. LEWIS said it was high'y necess:ay either that tl.e Worthy Baronet or some other Mensin r should bring the subject before the House, as unless some thing was promptly introduced a most serissos damage would be done to the navigation of the river below tile bridge.--(Hear, hear!) Sir W. CI•R'FIS said he should consult with the Trustees and other parties interested, and bring the sabjett subsequently under the consideration o f Par ' Lament. Mr. Alderman WOOD said an inquiry had been going on for stone time by the Trustees but hr thought his Hun. Colleague had beet ;care the intro duction of the subject of bringing it before Parliament to one of the tientlemen who presented petitions against the present state of the bridge. As one of the , Trustees of the bridge i:t right of his cu por.ite cha racter, he declared himself tuite prepared for inquiry. Mr. CALVERT thought something that essuentially affected the fact was kept out of sight.

Dui. —Mr. WILSON (I ondon) stated, he held in his hand :a Petition front the Wool len 31anufarturt•rs of the t ity of London, against the Duty imposed upon the inapa.rtatia.n of Foreign Wool during the last Parliament. When I.e considered the great distress that existed in the manufacturing dis tricts. the nuitaher of persons out ~f emplov non, h • regretted sincerely that studs a duty was imposed, for in Itis opinion, the imposition of a duty on the raw ns o terial of a manufacture could not be justified, unless that mauufacture was in a most flourishing state. It a tax attended tvitb auth effects was not repealed, it was impossible Tout that the manufacturer on the Con tinent must undersell us. He could assure the House. that in elmseapoosce of that duty, the contracts fr,.ni Russia, as stated by a Noble Lord (Milton) last night. were lost to the country. lie, therefore, dial implore his 3lajest3's Ministers, tailing the state of the Coll7i try into their consideration, to consent to the repeal of that impolitic duty, rather than wait until the aggra vation of that distress made the repeal imperative.— The Petition stated the inipulit-v of the duty—its hos tility to the aucient and fundamental policy of the kingdom, which had ever encouraged the woollen I.:a -notation. ; anal prayed to be heard by Counsel in support of its repeal. Mr. A. BA lIINH said, that before the question fur disposing of the Petition was put, he was anxious to make a few observations on one of the most important subjects that could he submitted to the consideration of the Legislature.—(llear, hear:)—Hr felt it, boa - ever, necessary to premise, that he himself had neither influenet• nor count trims whatsoever with the wooll it manufacturers, save that connexion and interest whir:, every man must have with the prosperity of the tiro-• important and ancient manufacture that reisteil in Hai • country, and which he felt was at this moment phre i in the most imminent danger. From his little ..a.- quatietance with the state of that manufacture, he di.' not pretend to say whether it could or could not .c an additional duty of Gd. per pound tan the iinpor;d lion of foreign wool, but he would state, without le..r of contradiction, that whatever was the state of the utantsfacture, the new ditty was laid on without in qniry, and without the nte-essary information. That tax, said to be for revenue, was imposed really for the I purpose of rt,nriliatiwq another class of Hewletto it whose interests were affected by other duties imposeat, partieniarly that on malt. Ti * How, and - the :Gen tletnen to I whom it was introduced, hail now to consider what the 'Gets must be, if such a tax lest. suffered to continue for two years. In that interval manufacturing estainishestents would be formed in fo reign countri. s, which would so get the better of Bri tish estahlishments, that neither the efforts of tit.
