PAEINti e . sptainea, Ind unit say, that hi w , aid prop, that in the Repot* made to the City ut Londen, the localities of the prison in questian were m4represented, and in perfect frinformity with a state of that tool printed several years before. Mr. Alderman WOOD would ask the Hon. Member, did he state this after he (Alderman Wood) had stated the contrary ? He thought the word of any Honour a'ile Member ought to be taken iu preference to that els gaoler.—(Hear.) Mr. BARING again explained. Dr. LUSHINUFON wished to know from the Ri g ht Hon. Gentleman whether, if this individnel, on resigning his property, would, after so long an im prisonment, be enlarged by tioverntnent? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had no power en the subject, and if he had, he should examine all the circumstances.—The petition The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEI: having moved the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a committee of Supply, Mr. CREEVEY rose to oppose the motion.—During the seven weeks that Parliament had sat, no day had passed on which petitions had not been laid on the table bf that House complaining of grievances, and in to one instanre without the evidence of the Members presenting them corroborating them. There were two attempts inaffe in this flonse—one by the Hon. Member for Abingdon, chewing how two millions could be saved—that motion was lost: the other by the Hon. Member for Cumberland, for the purpose of taking off a particular tax, which was also lost ; and vet the.Hrinse was called un to vote the supplies as a matter of indifferetiee. Though the House, constituted as it was, could not do justice to the country and instanced the patronage possessed by Members of that House in appointing to 140 place of great profit, namely, VI distributors of Stanips, and VI collectors of Land Ts st. It was impossible for gentlemen to shut their eyes to the fact, that numerous pensions and sinecures were possess ed by Members of that (louse, and that all the great an nuities and patronage of the country flowed from the Hou e of Common.; the patronage in fact was so great, that the House of C Mons had become much too strong for the people. All these things ought to he taken into consideration, lu-fore any more of the public motley was voted, or before the House went into the pro posed Estimates. As an amendment, therefore, to the motion for the Speaker's leaving the Chair, be should move as follows :—'• That the House should take into immediate consideration the subject of Members of that House holding offices under the Crown, and the expediency of diminishing the number of the same, it appearing by the Report of a Finance Committee made in ISOS, that them were uo fewer than seventy Members of the blouse liolliing such offices, the aggregate amount of whose salaries and pensions was 150,000/. a-year ; and also because in the present state of unparalleled distress in which lhir country was involved, no substantial relief could be es pteted,except from an independent House of Commons This amendment, he said, would speak for itself, and it was a subject in which all the people of the country were interested. Lord PALMERSTON said lie amid hardly conceive that the Hon. Headman was serious in the amendment be bad just proposed; for if tout , he (h d oril Palinerstp4 .4.ebta'het dotatio Ilse House with any observations ou what had fallen from him. This amend- metst of the lion. Gentleman's appeared to he a new mode of recording his opinion ; and it was one of the most extraordinary proceedings he had ever witttes.ed in that !lousy. It any distress existed in the country, it was that which affected our agriculture ; anti he w mad put it to the Mu. Gentleman, whether the House by the appointment of a Committee, had not already solopted the best means by which that distress might be relieved. if the House were prevented from going, int , Co.n natter, the whole machine of Government would be ob structed; and it would he tantamount to a proceedine which Nothing but the greatest emergency . could justify. The Mutiny Act wroild expire on the 24111 of the re sent month . ; and if it was not renewed, the army conk] not be paid. flow then could the affairs of the conn , ry be carried on ? The lion. Gentleman's amendment then could not he considered in any other light, 'Lin as a mode of recording his opinion. Colonel DAVIES asked if the lion. Gentleman meant to go into the question of supply, after his motion was disposed of. Air. CREEVEY said he had put his amendment, and i that he would take the sense of the Rause upon it. Mr. BENNETT conceived that when a large sum of money was proposed to be voted for the largest army that ever was kept up in a sixth year of peace, it was necessary first to enter into the inquiry moved for by his Honourable Friend. Anil he trusted his Honourable Friend would bring forward motions of this kind re peatedly. Mr. LALCRAFT said he could not accede to a pro position, which would embarrass the tioveroment i•I the manner this motion must do. He was as moirli ftieutl to economy as his Hun. Friend, and concurred in most of his sentiments; but he could not agree iu a motion that went to embrace such a great variety of topics, which would moire many nights' discussion. At the same time, be thought the proposed military force was too large ; and, as the army must he provided l s "rtho thought it %lint's! he better for :he Noble lord to move a short Mutiny Bill, so as to enable the Holwse to discuss the subject of oar Military Establishment, with a viaw of reducing it hereafter. Mr. CHEF:VEY saw no difficulty in taking into im mediate consideration the number of offices held by Members of that House. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that although lie agreed generally with his lion.Frientl, he could not agree with his motion for entering into a subject which required a very long discussion. • HUSKISSON supported the motion fur the Sptaker leaving the Chair. • MUNCK said, he should support the motion of the liouoraule Member for Appleby : fur it went Ito further than to call on the House to give a pledge that it was determined to adopt every possible plan of economy, that being the Constitutional mode of re dressing grievances. The House then divided— For going into the Committee 179 For Mr. Creevey's amendment ...:tit The question being again put that the Speaker do leave the Chair, Mr. HUME said, that before the motion was put, lie should call theattentiou of the House to the Military Establishment of the ccuntry as it now existed. Ile was confident that the e.i.tresses of the country could n berelieved in any other way except by a diminution of taxes; and that diminution could not take place without lessening the expenditure. He.was particu larly anxious ou this point, because this was the first great expenditure proposed .in the present Session anti because the Chancellor of the Exchequer had on a tomer occasion declared tin: there would be a s - M rig in the year of One Million in Orli expesseei 0 the army ; but the fact was, that the expanse weld be less than it was last year only by the stns e(460,0001. ; and that the estimate of this year would he.greater than it was in the year ISM Desiring, the Howse was de ceived in cosmogonies, o(tbe estimates brims voted by driblets ; for at present they were given to undentaod, that uo more than six millions were required; whereas the whole expense of the army this year would amount to above fourteen millions. The proper datum fur regu lating the amount of force required by this country was the proportion of force 'which existed in the year 1791. —The number of taoops kept op in Great Whale during that year, was 15,900; in the colonies, 17,343; and in Ireland, 15,733; making a total of 4n,475. But the estahlishment at present was greater by the number of 32,632 men. He was ready to admit, that the exten sion of our colonies required an addition of 1:4000 men more than the establishment of 171r2. This be would propose to reduce gradually, by first discharging 10,000 men. In 179'2 the artillery amounted to between three anti four thousand, and the marines to between 4 and 5000. In the following year the militia amounted to 17,0110. Now the artillery amounted to the number of 7472, the marines to MOO, and the militia to 51,996 ; yet at this moment the state of Europe was wore tranquil that in 1792. Besides, there was at present a great yeomanry lore, ready to be called out; and uotigiog could be more evident than that our military establish ment was far greater than the situation of the country required. Therefore lie would put it to those Gentle men who were complaining of agricultural distress, whe the most elfeetual Wellss of relief which they could de vise would not be to diminish the present military esta blishment ? and no man who did not vote for such a re duction could have economy at heart. The thing was necessary because we now had twice the number of irre gular forcr which the country had in 1792. The Hon. Member next alltitlegl to the great and unuecessery increase that had taken place in the Ilurse-guards and Foot-guards —troops that could not he sent to relieve the Culonies,and which were wanted only for parade. There was also an unnecessary number of guards, a hick hail been greatly i so creased since 1792, although there was no occasion for them ; and they were useful for no other purpose than that of parade and show. The charge for the Life-guards was now 92,000/. a-year ; and the public were put to tin small expense by the mode in which they were dressed. Now by reducing these Guards to the meager they were at in 1792, a very cogisislerable 1 saving might be made to the country. All he wanted was to take away the superfluous establishments oeea sioned by moose roes Guards, and their wearing Imost expensive dresses. If the Guards wereeven eyed ,ly economical with the regiments of dm hue, they were not equally efficient. Ile did nut rue riot to)ty that ree l they were as brave as any other t , but that j they could not be applied to the various seirirlees whirls troop of the title were employes' in. It would a l so he necessary for thy House to l oo k t o th e oves s zeoeen Stall of the country: and the great expense attending the War-uffice, where same clerks had 1500/. a-year, at a time when all kin,:s ut pr. . arty had (allege and he !bought we ought to recur Its the prices as well as the standard of the year 1792 ?—(flear, hear, hear.) — Ile thought that the 93 regiments shouts' he mineral to 75, each to contain two I..lli:ilium, and would register a saving to the country of 212,000/.

The min.y they should adopt with regard to the Colo nies, was to maintain sin :frit:66.r for -e titan Iva. necessary to protect them. 'Else present system of Covernment was ruinous : it irrit.tte.l the inhabitants of tlie•e eniii air4. Ile would refer to reyloa, to Trinidad, to Malta, to the Cape of Good Iltive. Does the Noble Lord think the inhabitants of those ceslonies would take any Howes' in defending their reapective countries? No; they have no interest in supporting the British Go vernment. Ceylon, perhaps, might he excepted in consequence of the great interest they felt in the Trial by Jury, which was introduced by Generil Johnson,— That measure tranquilized that couutry, and disposed the inhabitants to thief( favourably towards this coon- , try. But it was cruel that the subjects tit - Ceylon should be liable to be taxed at the arbitrary will of one I let3ll. A time may come when lie should bring that I loisiness before the House. If the Cape of Good Hope, Trinidad, and Malta, had received the rights of British subjects, they would feel an in terest in contributing their portion towards their own defence. On the expenditure in these Co hmies he would not speak witliont authority. Ile appealed to the papers %hie+ bad becu laid before them ; they would support his position ; and in this statement he wuuld not except the lonian Isles.-- (Hear, hear.)—lguntense sums had been squandered in paying officers in those colonies. He could assure the Bight Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) he would not be able to reduce the ex pesli:nre until he adopted these suggestions. Ihe Co tooth's, if they had been *ell treated, would join heart and hand in contributing to all the expenses ioeurred in their defence. The expense of protecting these was beyond any one's conception. The C o louie, under the government of any other country lied been productive and beneficial to that country, but the mo ment they came into the possession of Great Britain, they became a cause of embarrassment. He would not, however, give up any of the Colonies.—(Hear, hear.) ile would support them, but would reduce the officers and abolish the office., many of which were merely created to serve some individuals who had infinite e enough. to be appointed to fill them. Those who would examine the accounts would bo astonished that the IHouse of Commons--the guardians of the public purse. could tolerate such thing.. Sir J. Creig thought 3,1101 W. Ia -year quite suf fi cient for a Governor of the Cape of lima Hope. But now it was four times that sum. These expences were not incurred to support the coun try, but to create sinecure pieces. It happened that chil dren only six years obi had snutetinws situations its she Colonies which they never saw. These offices should be first abolished, in *Meet° save the corintry. The papers which he had moved for would shese the.ezact expendi ture of the Mauritius, . of Trinidad. kc. The Hon. Member then proceeded to contrast the various establish- Isilents of 1792 with those of 1621; and concluded, ausitlit a great dial of :wise, hy saying, that all these 4p • . -..- Ara . estaiiistiniente inght to be redaced to what they bad been in 17W. Ht then moved the followlag Raw I et It Resolved — That it appears br. the o ffi cial Retinae beihritMs Room. that the total Military Establishment tef Ora* Britain and Ireland for 1792 (exalis's* of the East hat", and of the Artillery, Militia and Marines,) consisted of 48,474 men, namely, 15,919 for Great ' *halo, Orterosey.fse. ; 17,323 in the Coloules abroad ; mid 151321 a Ireland; and, that the total Military Bs tablielsmeril of Great Britain and Ireland for 1821 ((seinen* of India, the Artillery, the Militia, and Marines) e.tosists of 01,106 officers and men; namely. of 27,852 in (treat Britain, Guernsey, &c . ; 32,476 in the Colonies abroad; and 20-779 in Ireland. " 2.•Reso;red—That the Supplies for the expense of the Military Establishment of (heat Britain and Ireland, in IT* were 2,331,1491.; that the Supplies voted for the Military Establishment of Great Britain and Ireland, for IS9O, were 9,500,216/. ; and that the Army Estimates for 1021, now submitted to the House, are only 163,4901.; less than those of 1:420. "3. That there were in the service of Great Britain and Ireland, in 1799 (exclusive of the regular Cavalry and Infantry.) 23,757 troops, namely, 3,730 of Royal Artillery. 4,425 of Royal Marines, and 17,64 e of Disem bodied Militia ; and in 1021 (exclusive of the regular Cavalry and InfAntrr„) the number of 125,432 troops, Nmely, 7,972 Itttrineers and Artillery, 0,6110 Rona Marines, 51,998 Disetnhodied Militia, and 57,629 1 ie tnam-3. Cavalry and Volunteer Infantry, being in number a larger force 5y 132,367 men, available for purposes of Government, in the year 1021, than the Government had in 1792. --- Resolved—That it is the opinion of this House, that, under the present cirritnistatices of the country, it is ex pedient to make a large reduction in the amount and expenditure of its Military Establishments, and to ap proximate as soon as possible to the Establish oent of 1792, as recommended by the Finance Coutinittee of 1517." Sir R. WILSON, in seconding the Resolutions, bore testitnony to the improved and flourishing state of the Cape of liood Hope, when taken by the British. though the inhabitants had previously received no assistance from the mother country. The question was then put on Ilume's :leso . lotions, and negatived without a dif:sion. 'the SPEAKER was about to put the question for his !twin,- the Chair, when Mr. lII' ME stated, that it was his iotention to have divided the House on the last Reso!ution; The SPEAK ER observed, that there was no Fissible remedy for the difficulty iu which the House was placed after the vote it had already come to, than that lof pntting a negative on the motion for his leaving the Chair. If the wish of the Hon. 6ellee:11:111 was to insert his Itosolotions on the Journals of the House, that certa;illy could not be effected in the Committee, but it could or thus britigiog up of the Report. r. TI ERNEY !Imagist that the bringing up of the Report would not aituall an oppoettuaty for the insertion of the Resolutio:is, 43 the Resolutions of the Committee which they were intended to cppose must by that time live been agreril to. The better nay, he conceived, would het', wove an adjournment of the question al to::: titer until Monday, instead of entering on a sub ject so important to the country at that late hour of nit ht.—(llear.) _ Lord, PALMERSTON was ofopinion that the object ing Isis Resolutions before the ItepertoftbeCoussuittee was brought up. After a few observations from Mr. J. P. Grant aid Colonel Davies, in favour of postponement, and from the Chancellor of the Hacheqster against it, Mr. 11. A. laylur moved that the House should then adjourn. Lord CAS FLBREAtiII acquiesced in the propriety of acce , lint; to the motion. '1 he SPEAKER observed, fiat if the understand in:: of the House was, that the question should be bought forward on Monday, the only way of pro viding for that, was to withdraw the question sit ad junrousent upon such an understaudi it;, and them fix the t unisnittee fur that day. If an adjournment was to take place without such an • rantmment, the ques tion could not be brought forward on Monday. Mr. M. A. TAILOR consented to withdraw his motion on the understandiug proposed, upon which the Cominittee was appointed for %Imlay. (In the motion 'of Mr. Serjeant ONSI,OIV, the Irish Treason fill was read a first time, arid ordered to he read a second time on the 22d of this month.

THE ERECTION OF BUILOINGS ON THE WHARFS . ON THE BANKS OF THE THAMES. A Report from a Committee, to whom it had been re ferred, to take into consideration a notice that bad been given in the House of Commons be Mr. Calvert, of his intention to bring a Rill into Parliament to repeal tl:e Act of the 22l of Charles 11. by which it is enacted that a public walk of 40 fret wide shall be kept open alor.- the north sole of the River Thames from London Bridge to the Temple, was then read; which Report MOW mended that the Corporation should petition the House of Cotnmons to he heard by Counsel against the Oil!. Mr. Deputy Lre.ts observed that the Act of Charles had been constantly infringed on, and the Vorporatiou had appropriated so much of the ground it Was intended to keep open that they now had an inewne of 10,11G01. A year from this source and even part of Fishmonger's Hall was built on it ; nor lead any objection ever been made to these infringements SU Messrs.Calverts dia what so many others had done before them. Mr. tiatrerrns said, the City bad not itself infrieged on the Act, but had been negligent of its duff, whicit was to oppose the infringements of others. In Cells"- quence of this neglect, the Adams's were allowed to in fringe so greatly as they bad done; but the real cause of all this neglect hetetofort was, the want of union between the Aldermen and Common-Conneiluien. lie hoped. however, to see the day when Aldermen and COIllmoll• Councilmen would amte together like man and wife.. - (Breit Laughter.) Mr. DIXON remarked, that if the Aldermen and Com mon Council should not agree better than a man and wife, who hail lately °entitled a street deal of their at tention, it would not he very desirable that such a union as his friend recommended should take place: He was sorry the Corporation had received a retinue from the infringements on the Act of limeys, but still thought they hail a right to call on those persons who bad hail; iu siotation of that Art to surrender, and that tli.dy should prevent any farther encroachment. Mr. Taviant thought it was no: good te:.soning, that because the Corporation had infringed on the Art of Charles themselves, they should therefore connive at the infringes] ant of others. No encroachment was mans I frequent than that of appropriating public. ground ; and if it were permitted in this instance, iii a little time we slia!l not be able to get a sight of the Thames. Mr. PEACOCK said, the fact notoriously nag. that the Act hail been disregarded, and Messrs. Calvert wily sought to do that lea!ly, nlsklt has long been dune il legally. Mr. SLOE con!cn led that if the I. court •do not poi- Son agaimit the proposed Hill, Parliament will Hat uraVy saw they are indlitferent. ',lr. 'CROCKER said, that Messrs. Calvert. Lis!, I of a public nay to a public wharf, had . put up I.rivat gates, as if it was their own property. Mr. Ileacunne asked, with what grace could the Cor poration go to Parliament, being themselves this and greatest transgressors. Mr. l'Anotitcoss, in additiott to the same argainra... said, new, when orptvards of a million was esp. (idled iu building, they wish to present &slight alteration being made ; Han Trarroina:e said, if there could lie a•I of ever obtaining the round for a quay, that _a contemplated in the Act of Charles, lie woubl thing to realise 151 inft - Ir teas hopeless. lie 'opposed tom mail, if he could Mow awes , with his breaLlt the buildings, of the value of two millions, that wero erected on the ground intended to be kept open, woolil be bold enough to do it; anti it was useless to the public to ethleavone to keep open tha little that now remained. which was less than a twentieth part of the w h o le. If individuals were aggrieved, they might defend them selves; but he omit see more than had yet been show 3 him, before lie could agree to any interfere:see by t:.O Court. _ _ Mr. limas said, if they had been negligent of th:•r trust, they should now like men of honour retrieve tht errors and perform their duty. Mr. T. N.

A Court was yesterday convened fur the dispatch of various pubic and private business. CRAND JURY OF LONDON. Mr. Gnome presented a memorial from the Grand Jury of London, relative to their right of visiting the gaol of Newgate. He stated the various steps which had peen taken by the Grand Jury for the establish ment of the right which they claimed; and the legal proceedings which had bee!' instituted. The memo rialists only wished that the right might be ascertained by this Cow t. The memorial was then read, and they prayed that as sulne expenses would be incurred by the removal of the legal proceeding by e.:tiorari into the Kings Bench, that .hey might be defrayed by the city. The memorial was referred to the Committee of City Lands. Tilt QUEEN'S VISIT TO ST. PALL'S. Mr. Fuvrt.t. begged to call the atteutiou of the Court to a subject that reflected the greatest credit on. the Corporation of London. lie alluded to her SlR jesty's reception at St. Paul's. He moved that the report of the committee appointed for that purpose should be received; and that the committee shook' be empowered to draw on the Treasurer for a sum not exceeding 1001. the amount, as stated in the report, of their expenses, which was unanimously agreed to. ADMISSION 00 SOLDIERS IN THE CITY TO ESCORT CONVICTS. Alderman WAMIAAN said, he would take this oppor tunity to mention a matter of which was proper doe Cowl sbonld be informed. The worthy ?alderman then stated, that he 1121, a paragraph in the Morning Ilreabl, which mentioned, that in consequence of en attempt made, to rescue convicts on a lute occasion, the convicts should be removed from Newgate in future under a military escort, and that, in consequence of this suggestion, the convicts bad been so removed the day 'before. lie thought it very extraordinary that ao/- 1 diets should be brought into the city for such a purpose, apd the Sheriffs know nothing of it ; he therefore immediately wrote to Mr. Brown, to enquire into the fact, and be was happy to be able to state that the ac cusal was wholly aufintudetl, do such fact having taken pezi ; 4114 cuncluJeu,i facr, gnu uc nue na ppy to De muic up s l am post m I e sc. acuuss; me quouwous rernam sunstuany rite surue ,us 54) ing, that all tinsel comet was wholly tubfuttutleti, uu such fact haruig taken last weck.—lu Brandy or Gram uo salts arc repurted. ..., ..... .........,,_ . _ ___....- .-.....1-..--..... ....E....... 5 e5...."............-...........- --,- • .........6.............--- ^ -..-- -- - --... - 11 - ...." 1- -- - -4 " - ..-----. - ---"- - ' -.- . - - _ - . r y.a~. _ ~~ T - • .
