ARBUTHNOT moved a Resolution, that the sum 1,200,1410/. be granted to his Majesty for the extra ( ...':•tary expenses of the army for the year tt:. l o. After a short discussion, in which Mr.licste, Lord Pt t.NitISToN, Mr. ARBUTHN.II, Sir J. NEWPORT, MI. BARINO, Mr. bIorLNURX, Mr. lIVRKIIIBON, &C. par ttuiritetl. the Resolution was agreed to.

'1 • Hutt. lietitleman complained of the conduct of j t.'sters in having resisted a 'action trade by him on t subject. Lora CasTutarann said, Oro the expen,e of Am -114-4tdors to Foreign Courts avv4 very different now, in time of pear.., to what it had it been in time of war, and this saving, instead of brie •z at the ill•trtAal of the Prawn, 'rat carried to the Consolidated Fund. It was impospile to avoid, altogether, the charge fir ratraor dinAry expense‘, hut the amount of those expenses Were mot:Illy Lid before Parliatuent to be scrutinized b ! - them. next remark,4l, that though there was a Receiver-lteneral of the who had the payment •rsett departments, the place of Paymaster of the I Nam, a Police•office was, as it were, created for the lan Mr. Uolqnhonti—on the grJunds of public ser ll'Li 4 p . rfornsed by Win ; those services were admitted, tit..l the irregularity was f•:t•tts..d. Put Mr. Coign it, e I had lately died , and he understood that the place, ins!, ad of having been abolislieJ, was fit ted up by a y,•ittig gentleman, the sun of an Hun. Gentleman op posite The place was one of MAL a year ; and he thought it was a very remarkable instance of the pro dial disposition of Minister'. '4r. H. Calve said the pl tee was fir:hi up, but the salary did not amount to 400/. a year. I.lr. BA iSt/IST said, the salary was hut 2001. a year. ?'lr. Ht•sa said, that Mr. lialdnin, the Receiver- Il..neral. might, with as much case as he managed the of the seven other distrii ts, have also managed Thames Poliee-office, and thus hate saved the ne -4:l,:ity of continuing, a useless place. 1 Mr. Ilemtv CLtea said, he did not think that the cis? showed any extraordinary extraergance in Minis ter,. As to the Officer who had been alluded to, he t, 41,111 nut bate taken this additional trouble without an additional salary, and thus little or no saving would Live been effected. Mr. lic.ut said, that the business of that Offirer did ro,,t employ loins for more than ten days in the year. lir might hare taken an additional day's trouble to sate the country the expence of this new office.

EXPEDIFAPI . OF OPENING A FREE TRAPS WI 11l lIE VARIO('S STATES OF EUROPE. It has long been a maxim with the best political wr:ters, that all restrictive systems arc ultimately in ' jurious to the country, that adopt them into its legisla tioo ; and they hair f.,und proofs enough of the just ness of the doctrine, without the instance of Spain. Put the twitti,l desre of retaliating the injuries of war oecasi:ined many restrictive laws to be adopted dnri:te,• the late ardtirms struggle, which the commer cial policy of (Jrrat Ilritnin would hove condemned in other times: and that such laws should remain, after ' the cause that gave them birth is no more, all sound policy must instantly disown. To extinguish the in fluence of the French among the Northern Powers, a duty t e as laid upon iron and timber, tantamount to a prohil.ition of them. This duty still remains, and its coa'e.luences are severely felt. Sweden has no thing to sell but her timber and her iron : and, if wr will nut buy bee produce, she has uothing to en able her to purchase our manufactures. Accordingly her people are compelled to suhatitoite their own rude manufactures for those, with which they would other wise be furnished from England. The proprietor of an Euglish iron mine, and the speculator in timber from our forests in America. *ill nu doubt say, that the restriction is beneficial, breams, it compels us ts, depend upon our own resources; but this argument will be foetid correct no farther than their private interests are concerned. These resources would nut be tliminisheti by our rot continually using them: in fact, they would rather be husbanded arainst any futme swee t 's 'ivy. 'lite trees of America will not cease ta grow, because we do not cut them down ; the inn: will not waste in the milli.. hecan4e the ore is not extracted: and the matter in dispite comes exactly to this ; see place ear liarde.-are inhaufacturers under a disadvautage, compared with those 44 for..igm countries, by means of the ditty en iron ; and we del.rive our woollen mantifictnrers of the benefit of the S.-edish markets altogether, because we will not trade with the Swedes. • Thus, t.rivinitamonnitoly to the proprietor of iron mines au:l the speculator in Ameriran timber, we indict a g:etteral injutry on two of Our great niatinfar taring bodies raisi• a class of overgrown eapitalis's, at the cspen-e cf our trading ropnLtion anti foster, the system, which is hastening wit!, rauiti strides to root oat the middle ranks of society, and convert us Tutu a nation eI princes anti panpets. At the same time an e‘i: spirit of retaliation is generated ahr tad, and .11ft-commercial feelings are entru.-eti on :di cities. The northern States look upon ns as the leatlcyt of Coe reitrietive scheme, and the continental sy4tent of BJ11,1*,• J rte heroines tie favourite plan of retaliation. In Hn sia and in Prussia it is well known !ti he, at the i:r Fen t 1:1011Ient, the favourite topic, on which their me:Aunts declaim, PIA which they strennotody allvorate. If the nece:sities of the State, anti the suffering's of the people, can ever be supportsd to warrant an limp,- riots. call on the Government, to step forward with a' powerealksiaat toovemwe the individual istereserillatol ccrood in supporting restrictive measures, the preesstil is . (city Vie We are now in a fair train fur lasing the tra)le of th?-notth of Europe, and the nine ket thtt has long hewn open there to oar manufactures. The northern States fret tinder the same galling re straints as our. ; awl, did our lievernisont show any disposition to relax, it would instantly d c , away all the existing prejudices against us, and excite such a burst of feeling among the merchants abroad, as well as among the Nobles, who derive the principal part of their issitines Irons articles of export. that it would compel the most arbitrary Gover.suient to bend heroic the altar of public o;:inion. The present law for regulating the importation of corn, to say nothing of its general tendency, is fraught with notch eou,m rrcial evil. Called for as it was by the landholders, and drawn up in a way least likely to irritate the rankling wounds of the indignant popu- I: -: in, its imperfect co:istruction will be readily ex cused by all who knot./ how difficult it is to conciliate the jarring interests of Welt : bat now, when the dis-. ennuis of the Hank must be regulated by foreign ex changes, that clause, which makes foreign corn mar ketable only when the home price exceeds a fixed sum, will be found a veiy serious evil. The opening Of the ports, as it is technically termed, alusost instantly sets on foot a spirit of rambling ad venture, accompanied with every evil incident to a I:collating exchange: while the steady, regular inter course, the very life-blood of trade, creeps on wilt Iliculty, from the links of its chain bring thus un naturally severed. A permanent duty, even if we con sider it in Its worst light, would certainly be less ise inrions to trade ; and it is very questionable, whether it would be more detrimental to manufacturers. It may be thought, that this appears but distantly connected with the distresmi of Letreashire sod Yet shire; but whoever has had an opportunity of st how a gleam of prosperity instantly diverges throo all the ramifications of the maunfacturing world, will readily allow, that inferior and even more remote con siderations are well worthy attention. Having endea voured tu.show the injurious cunsequeikces of restrictive laws, where the interests, or imaginary interests, of certain classes may he supposed to stand in the way of their abolition, we now come to others, which wen even divested of this shallow excuse for their coat• tinuance. To what a pitch of absurdity has this restrictive mania arrived, when ice will not allow goods in transit to be imported without paying a duty! The present state of the country renders a revisal of all laws on this head particularly desirable. Take, for example, the article of foreign linens ; and sappoee we were to album them to be imported free of duty, order hood fete* portation, instead of paying a duty of twenty-In pea cent., as they now do, which is in fact a proliibillfis, the consequence would be, the linens of fiernnOmy would find a market in England, for the ravioli of bring re-sold in North and south America; and a de mand fur British cotton and woollen goods would he created in tiermany in return, or as soon as bills on London could be readily obtained on advantageous terms. Similar news would produce similar elects throughout all our mercantile cossoellssas ; and, instead of being obliged to invest our capitals in &weir' Go vernment securities, we could employ it is trade. No doubt in the fro place it would be paid sway, as the wheel must be set in motion by those ulto now hold the drag that confines it; but the difference would be this--our ware:louses would be tilled in return sr:th foreign linens, instead of haring our portfolios filled with foreign Government securities; and, should any political rupture take place, it•requirrs nut a conju ror to determine which is the preferable security. IRISH BANKS. We tire happy to find, from accounts from Ireland. that the failures and distress in the South hare hail no injnrious effect upon credit or trade in the province of Ulster. WATERrORP WANK. A meeting of the creditors of Newport's Waterford Bank was held on Thursday last, at the Court Dolma that City, the 3layor in the Chair.

NEWPORT'S WATERFORD BANR.-00 Saturday Mr: Samuel Walker, Assistant Messenger of the Commis sioners of Bankrupts, came down in the mail and took post:ession of the bank. The Committee named by the rreditors on 'Thursday were sitting thereat the thee, but immediately a itbdrew. The petition of the creditors fur superseding the commission was presented to the Chan cellor on Friday; but his Lordship derlined interfering at that stage. becane the functions of his Court were then ministerial rather than judicial ; the Court would, therefore, not debar the petitioning creditor of what' was to be considered as his strict right. At a future stage such interference mac be sheen to be advisable. c du not conceive the project of superseding the com mission to he abandoned. The Chairman of the Com mittee has called a general meeting of creditors at the City Court Homo-, to-morrow, at noon, to receive the Report of the Comsnittee.—ln the late Limerick case, the petitioning creditor, it seems, acceded.

It wait expected that the general assignees would have been appointed agreeable to the advertisement to that effect t but this measure has been prudently postponed ; and it was right, because no per son.. but those on whom the public and creditors have the utmost reliance should be selected to fill this ardu ous and troublesome situation, as it will in a great de gree depend upon their prudence and exertions to make the hands productive or uthernise.—(Cork Mercaetite eh maids.) Corot. JCNE I7.—The commissioners met yesterday pursuant to advertisement, to receive proof of debts, and it was generally understood, that before their rising assignees won'tl h:re been appointed. This, bowever, has been postponed for some air, at well for the pur pose of affording those interested In an appointment of so much consequence to the estate, an opportunity of proving their debts, and thereby qualifying themselves to vote, as of dispatching the number of note-holders, for small sums, several of whom hail come from distant parts of this county, and from those adjoining.—(Cork hatelligencer.)
