LADIAS AND GBNT RRRRR HAVING been encouraged to offer myself, on the fit at ferourable opening, as a CANDIDATE fur the distinguished office of a DIRECTOR. of your Affairs, I have oniy been prevented hith. rto from publicly announce ing my intention by the apprehension that such a step might be considered premature while I was still connected with Commercial Establishment in India. That connection, how ever, hiving now terminated, I shall take the earliest possi ble occasion of waiting on you individually, and soliciting the favour of your suffrages. I west out to Bengal as a Writer in the Honourable Con!- ' pany's Civil Service in the year 1802; and, during the early period of my residence in India, held for some time an ap pointment in the Cammercial Department, in which I was fortunate enough to obtain • very flattering testimonial of my conduct from my superior in office. In the year 1807, 1 quitted that employment for the purpose of joining - the Louse of Alexander and Co. of which I cmitinued an active partner np to the period of my embarkation for England in Dessein bee, 1818. With the experience necessarily acquired hi these different.situntions, dur'ng the sixteen years of my life which I have paased.in the Honourable Company's territo ries abroad, 1 would fain hope that I shall not be found alto , getber anprepared for those important fenctions which it is my ambition to undertake. Anzi should you eventually ho nour me with your choice, I may at least venture to assete you, that my time shall be faithfully devoted, and the be: t of my humble abilities honest'y aaplied, to the promotion of your interests, and those of the extensive regions over which you preside. -• • . .

Day being read for taking into consideration his Majesty's Message, presented by the Earl of Liverpool on the preceding day; and the Mes sage being read, Tips LORD CHANCELLOR said, that in the absence of the. Noble Lord (Liverpool), who had moved to have the Message taken into consideration that day, he should take isioe himself to move the usual Address to his Ma jesty. The object of the Message was to call on Parlia ment to pass a law that should remove the doubts that might exist, relative to the power of the King to dispose I o f freehold, copyhold, and leasehold property, belonging to Isis Majesty, previous to an I at the time of his acces sion to the 9 hrone. By the Acts of the 39th and 40th of the late King, a power was given to his Majesty to dispose of any property which might have come to him from any ancestors, not Kings or Queens of England ; and the Acts declared such property to be in all respects similar to the property of subjects; but no provision was made for the disposal of the kind of property alluded to in the present Message. It was for their Lordships, therefore, to consider the propriety of remedying ilia , defect in the Act. He conclud d, with moving "That lan humble Address be presented to his Majesty, thankiag his Majesty for hie Most Orarious Meuage, and assuring his Me3esty that the House would make such provisions as should appear most likely to answer the object his Majesty had in .view." Lord ELLEN BOROUU if observed, that, as the Ad dress cow moved was a •mere waver of form, he should -sot make any opposiion to it; but he must say that he pas net friendly to such Bills as the one now proposed to be introduced. The public must feel an interest to every measure that related to the payment of debts by the Crowe. The intended Bill would enable his Majesty to dispose of his palace at Brighton, or Ley other property possessed by him previous to his consingto the Throne. timedalisare ' therefore, was oce which ought to be nar rowly looked Into, and he hoped their Lordships would 'attention: V/ Address was then agreed to—:Adjourned to lloaday. HOUSE OF COU3IONS —Fin DAY. The SPEAKER informed the house that the Rovai Assent had been given by Co.nuiissioa to certain Public and Private Bills. Mr. FORBES presented a petition from the Hop Planters of a parish in the county of StISSX, against the Hop Duties. Mr. R. COLMAN presented e. petition from Ely, against the. Insolvent Debtors' Act. Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition from the parish of Battle, in Sussex, against the Duties on Hips. Mr. lIUME renewed a notice made last year, for cer tain Returns from the Post-o.lice, rel dive to the Inland Letter Carriers Supperannnation Fund. Mr. lIU3IE moved for a return of the news of any Surreyors of taxes engaged in any other occupation, rich the nature of employment. The same honourable ;mother moved for other returns, the particulars of which, from some confusion in the gallery, we could not catch. Mr. HUSKISSON presented a petition from the shop keepers and other traders of the town of Liverpool, against the partial operation of the House Tax. He said the petition was numerously and respectably signed, aNI lie would have been happy ilk were In Ifs power is Ore his support to it; but oo mature deliberation, he was obliged to declare that the petitioners had not made out a case sufficient for him conscientiously to do so. In point of fact, if he messed the prayer of the petition on the house, it would be to press a total repeal of the hause tax. It was his duty to present it, and lie had ex treme pleasure in vouching for the respectability of the subscribers to it, but he could not consistently with his duty give it his supnor'. Ueneral OASCOVNE took the liberty of correcting an error of his right bon. colleague; the petition did not, as -he stated, require a total repeal of the house tax, it only asked far a revisal of the Bill, which had puzzled ,Magistrates to explain, more than any other bill ever seal there. Ater a short conversation between Mr. Hume, Mr. Hasid's/ion, and Lien. Hascoyne. Mr. HUME rose for the purpose of putting a qnes lion to the Chancellor of the Examiner, whether it was that right lion. gentleman's intention to continue the tax on inner windows. •He took the liberty of submitting to him, that as the Revenue from that portion of the rate was very inconsiderable, and as i.s op: ration was the most oppressive, it ought to be done away with, and the tax be confined to the outer window. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was not his intention to make any alteration in the operation of the Wiodow Tax. If he once admitted the argument, that because the produce of a tax was not considerable th 4 it ought to be reorahnl, he feared that the hawse wind • lie too frequently troubled with applica tion* of that nature, or any tax coaiidersd of sufficient importance to be continued. .The petition was then laid on the tahie. Lord FOLKSTON E deferred his notice of motion on the equitable Reglement of contracts, from the has of Match to Wednesday the 25d of April. KCMGS PROM HI% MAJESTY. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved that the house do resolve itself into a Commii tea of the whole, t.► take into conside ration his Majesty's most gracious massage relative to the. disposal of she property of the Crown. The SPEAKER. bs !p; lett the Chair, Mr. Secretary PEEL rte to explain to the Committee Out by the Act ofQnren Anne, the Cro •n was reatrierea from the alienation of its pr.sperty, but an Act in 17W re moved the restriction so tar its regarded the real proper. tv, or that which may he termed the private property of the Crown, such as property purchased out of toe pri- PRICE SEVEN PENCE. vy purse or by monies not appropriated to any public s: nice, or such as property devised by the King, except by his Majesty's predecessors, or not held by the jure coronae. It was quite clear, that in that Act there was in omission, as no provision was made for that property which the King might be _possessed of at the timell s i a s . accession to the throne. There was this strange a ly, that the King was treated as a subject, with regard to property acquired after his accession to the throne, and as a King with regard to property in hispoesession when amities% The object of the Bill which he then wished to bring in, was merely to 'vend ea, provision of the Act of 1799„is far as real property: To give his Majesty - the power to dispose or bequeath of all that property ac- Kiired as a subject, which lie was entitled to do as a ing. He therefore moved that the Chainnin of the Committee be directed to move for leave to bring in a Bill tespeeting the disposition of certain property of his Majesty the King, his heirs, and successors. 111 r. HUME said that he could not exactly understand the distinction made by the Right Hon. Gentleman with respect to the landed property of the Crown. On looking to the Act of 1799, be saw that by the first section; the landed property was conveyed into the bands of True tees, and by the fifth section, it was provided that In care of Inc King dying intestate, the lands should go to t'.c Commissioners of Woods and Forests. It might be re collected that on the decease of his late Majesty, he (Mr- Hume), took the liberty of putting a question to the hio nisters, if his Majesty had die! without making a will, or not ? After sonic delay, an answer was given that the King did mike a will, but that it was not considered legal. lie then inqnired bow the landed property wan disposed of, and he understood that it was taken possec sion of by the Co iiinissioners of Woods and Forest,. He wished to ask if the object of lke application had any reference.— Mr. Secretary PEEL begged. leave to interrupt ~the Hon. Gentlein.in by informing iiiip that the Bill then in troduced was not intended.to tooth any property held by the King jure coronae. It merely related to the real pro perty which the King might be possessed of on coming to the throne. • • The motion was then agreed to. The House resumed, the Report was brought up, and Mr. Secretary Peel was ordered to bring in a Bill accord ingl y. A me , sage from the Lords announced their Lordships' assent to certain Bills. ARMY ISTIMATtS. , Lord PALMERSTON moved: the llamato resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, to take iteo cossidefs lion the Army Estimates for the year. On the ( robin being put, Mr. CR LEVEY rose for the purpose of offering an ob jection to the house going into a Committee to vote away :ix millions of the public money without some notice of the situation of the country. The kingdom was at tit's moms nt affected by the cal ties of various and aggra rated di st re: s ThollSilndie thousands were every day reduced to beggaryisettrtin, and a revolution in property was going on to a great and a deplorable extent. He begged to remind the house that the prayer of all peti tions from every county was for economy in the expend:- lure of the puldie money—a reduction of the increase °Na iades given during- the late deprecitaion of the currency, ant as abolition of ell sinecures. Thais, was Si hetet time for him to remind the House of those petitions thus the rre.rient when tit-y were about to vote away a'.x snilliors of the public. money. In theyearl792, the votelor the Army Estimat -s was 2,000,0001. and at this time they were 6,11011,000'., independent of another 1,000,01101. which ex: called fur in shape of the Extroordinaries. ,'lie was of opinion that considerable reductions coul be made. With respect to the increase of salaries, it was but reasonable that that part, at least, which was added dur ing the depreciation of the currency, should be taken ntf. The principle was adopted so far as the clerks in office were concerned, but lie thought that it should be extended to the higher authorities themselves. After some other observations, the hon. member said that lie would submit a resolution, which lie should put on the Journals, for the purpose of leasing a record for the country, and of giving the house an opportuuity of s:yin,..o whether they woul 1 still support the waste of the public . money, or give a pledge to the cetiatry of a reduction of expense. — (Hear, ii-ar.) lie toen moved the following resolu- , lion : Resolved,—That it appears to this house, from the Esti mates laid hefore it (Jr the service of the Army for the pre sent year, that they amount to 0,081.,13981. exclusive or the Army Extraordinarics, wnlch of late years have in general moulded to one million more, wnilst the Supplies (or the Army its 179, amounted only to 2,331.,1391.; that in the present state of unparalleled distress and ruiu, in which eel. Agricultural interests of these kingdoms ore involved, it is the bounden duty of this house to reduce the Estimates for the different public services of the year, to as near the amount of 1192. as the safety of the State will admit ; and above all, that it is the bounden duty of this house to ac cede to the universal prayers and petitions of the people, i s 1 reducing all salaries or allowances of whatever description. which were augmented in consequence of the late deprecia tion In the value of the currency, in abolishing all sinecures and useless offices, in reducing the salaries of all such office; as are overpaid, aril in regulsting, upon principles of the strictest economy, all such other offices, the duties of whle's are now performed by depute. Sir T. L ETH BRIM; i.., atough he concurred in a gre • t measure with the resolntion, there was part of it to which he could not give his support; and therefore he could not 1 give a vote Co: its adoption. 4 - Lord PA 4,51 EliS I . ON Was of opinion that the amend ment of the lion. tientletnan was to ally uncalled for. In the first glace, with regard to the Army Estimates. the proper time to give an opinion on their amount was when the house_vrent into a Committee. With respect to abolition of aiLa_scares, they were prospectively abo lished; and as for the increase of sa'aries, they also i were prospectively diminished, and others, which wcre never increased, were volun•arily abolished altogether. Mr. CREEVEY begged to remind the Noble Lotil (Paluterstoo), that since the Act for the Abolition of Sinecures in 1815, Sinecures were given away by the very persons' who had then proposed it.—(lle tr.) Mr. JUNES wished to ask the lion. Gentleman (sfri C.) if he meant to contend that the Military Establish ment should be reduced to the standard of 1792, notwitb . standing the inerea:ed population of this country, of fee laue, and the increase of colonies shwa that rriod ? He regretted the peculiar certumstances in which Ire land was then placed, hut while it continued in that state, he, for one, would not agree that a single soldier could be withdrawn with any consistency fir the a ifety of the country. He was one who did not thick that the salaries' of office should be reduced, as he fit tnat public men were underpaid ratner than overpaid; and after they had given ten per cent , ft their salaries, there surely could . be no claim for a further reduction! With regard to the reduction of the salaries of Under Clerks, the question was whether they were not paid too highly in comparison with their super.ors in office. Mr. HUME could out agree to the arguments of the • lion. Gentleman (Mr. - Jones), ant he begged leave to a'ik him if the estiontos of the Army were six Arn•llions, ati4 those of 1792 were hut two million:, what objection lat. . I could have to register those facts tip to the Journa's -: Ile ... of L. 20 'el.'
