't Le. yeomanry in Scot land amounted to 3,700 men, and it was itupleasant to' wish that although the population of the Lowland dis tricts did nut ec. cod the population of Lancashire, 5:ill t'oe number of yionuanry in the latter c..unty did not amount to four hundred u:en. If the p. title there came forward as the !Dreg& in Seotlaud, they would supply a force more than sufficient to keep the country is ortier.—(Hear. hear !)--Vhile upou this subject, he could not avoid obsenirg, that the amount of the cavalry throughout the ettuatry was mu. h larger than there was any occasion for. it hat itecessil j, for in stance, was there for the cavatry in bent and upon the toast of Essex ? Was it to pre sent smuggling ? With that service they had nothing whatever to de. The officers of the Revenue hail, at their dis posal, a large force exclusively for that service, anti so addition to it was deemed rosemary. The sante remark might be applied to the cavalry alorg the whole southern coasf. Connected with the caealry, there was one source of exWase which he thought might, without ally difficulty, Ifs retrenched. It was known that to every trot? of cavalry fifteen dismounted men were attached. This arraogement, frit made, was called one of economy, but it Wool out to Vrairiiiilfeeess-cy'artelittonal expense. newel-re, supposing that these fifteen tarn were ne cessary when the arrangement %it:. Er,: made, it could not, be hoped, be deniel, that nix they were per fectly supertluous. Ile would pr tees-, that the dis moanted men therefore should be Area:iced, and this would cause a diminution of •I 6 men in each regiment of cavalry. He would further su g. •t a reduction in each regiment of one major, two lieutenants, am! two cornets; upon the nhole, coings might he wade in the cavalry establishment to the amount of ts11,01:Ul. a-year, and yet the cavalry would remain as efficient as it was before. He assured the house, that it was unpleasant to him to suggest these reductions, because, if carried into effect, they would hear hard upon pri vate friends of his own. But there were considera tions superior to private feelings 'shish influenced him in making these surgestioes.--(licar, hear!) — He added, that, as a mote r of justice. the officers re duced ought to he placed on the half-pay list, and that in any promotions which should take place in their regiments, their claims should be considered the same as if they were on full pay. Ihe lion. Member then proceeded to purpose the reduction of -he whole of the waggon trait', welch, he contended, were now unne cessary. This would save the country 10,0001. a year. In the infantry be would propose also to reduce the second majors, and so to consolidate the regiments, that instead of ten companies, of 65 men each, they might consist of eight companies, of SO men, and such an arrangement, extended to the whole of the infantry, • would produce a saving of between 6(1 and 70,000/. a year. There were large garrisons in Portsmouth and elsewhere, wie•.ch he thought 'night be reduced. He munierated reductions in the staff, which he thought prictirahle, to the amount of 20,4100/. a year—in the recruiting establishineut too, an immediate noluctios *ld he made of 14,000/. a year, which would 11111wituttlly amount to 20,000/. a year. lie would pro- Ireathe reduction of the district quarter-masters, the tedjualintion of the Staff in Ireland with that of Eng -141104 which would produce a saving of 3,t;001. a year. la the Stair establishments of Jamaica, Gibraltar, Toba _pi and the Leeward Islands, he suzgested reductions to ' the amount of 6,0001. a year. lie proposed that the dim of Paymaster-tieneral should be abolished, and he : 'minced the fact, that in Ireland, while an Hon., . 1 4 4, ni • I his (the Member for the Queen's county) gas in • thee, an army of 60,000 men was paid with-, , out ow assistance of such a character as a Paymaster lient•ral. He thought that the Pension List ought to, tar framed upon a more elual scale than it was at pre seat. when he saw a larger pension given to the widow of a deceased Ac,ountant, than was given to the widow of a General Officer.--(llesr, hear !).--In the War office establishment a saving of 12,01.0/. a year might be effected by simplifying the accounts, by eitiasoli dating the allowances with the soldiers' pay, by cutting off the Commissariat department, and making the con tracts altogether an affair of regimental nutnagenitat. In Ireland he would propose to reduce the Commissariat to half its present anoint. In the Foreign Troops- Ace, it appeared that an expense of 200/. a year nom than in 1806 was now incurred. Was this *e missary? The salaries of the individuals in the Comptroller's-office animated now to 8,0001. a-year mere than they did in 1796. Here a great savior, he .. theagbt, might be effected. In the junior department irl the Military College, he proposed that the present camber of 291 i boys should be reduced to 220, lad that Ti i E STATEsMA N. *his nuuther should he coasolidatel into twa com panies, a :aids would rase s:itff. r. v..:ar. 'I hese he granted were petty details. h a t u, on the wltole he I could propose an aerne-t 1.: 't of too+ details to Me! a mo unt of of. MOH: :, ...• tr, aYI: :n nut to he despised in I I be present state of the iinapires. lie muck a few r••- ;masks stens souse irregtearities that existed in the! mtperatinuatioi allowances, several of which he ton-. ta tided were immaturely given. Among the rest hr mentioned an accountant, who, after eight yearej service (though the statute required ten rears), retired I tiptoe an allowance of 456/. a year, while many line-, ral officers. who had dev tell the greater part of their lives to the public service, retired upon less than a third of that sum. The Hon. Meatber then went through the Medical Department, in which he pro posed a few redactions, and contended that as inquiry was necessary into the supertutso. tion establishment, if far no other reason than that of ascertaining why 1 some men received such large allowances as they did i though the aid of secret influence, and others received such small pensions, who had no other friends to in terfere for them than the wounds which they had re ceived in the service of their country.—(licor, hear!) —tie contended, that in the Barrack F:stablishment great savings mi zlst be effected; for he was 'prepared to show, that in !bat ale;fartment large %tens were most ust lessly squandered. He believed it was in vain to re soutnend any system of erne/may to the present Mi nisters, who seemed dete mined to keep within their grasp every kind of power which could be upheld by extravagant expem!iture, and nothing but the vote of . that Clouse could make them alter their system. 'I hey had constantly endeavoured to throw ridicule on every man who made any proposition that had the good o f the public for its object ; and, on all occasions, to throw dust in the eyes of tip.: House and of the puldie The lion. Member concluded with 'nitrite:, that a Se lect Conintittee be appointed to examine into the whole of the military expendituce of th• ruuntry, and to re port their opinion thereon to the !louse. Mr. LONG felt it necessary ef correct some mis statements which the Hun. tit ntlenme had fallen into respecting military accounts. With regard to his all t serti• n, that the Paymaster-general was not a public iaceeutstant, she very contrary was the fact. Lord PALMERSTON a:tit!, he would not, by any long statement, anticipate the discussi m u liirh w:.* 'to take place the following day on the army estifluttes. I He should not answer the attack made by the Hon. '• Gentleman on the Finance Committys, from whose I labours, he asserted, that no public benefit had arisen. IHe assured the House that he had tie ver it en any r t lof men exert more industry, or show a greater desiae !to promote the benefit of the public,than the Uentiethru who composed those Committee , . With respect to the I 1 increase that had taken place in the army during the paseat, he would say,that that man must be grossly ig norant of the internal state of the country who supposed ithat the events which took place dosing the last twelve ! taunt hs did not render such an loarease ne-ossary. 'I heft might we doubt be a pecuniary saving by adopting a I kind of urganieeigueren shimmy ditterent from eige-peoo sent: but that advantage would be more than coauter- f i balanced by the deficiency which would immediteely I take place in oar military force. With respect to the I proposal to disband all the dimpounted cav4lry melt,' that could not be done without impairing the efficiency of our force ; for it was always necessary to have a 1 greater number of men than of horses. Ou the cavalry was principally imposed the duty of guarding the me tropulis, and it was always necessary to have an ;Atli- I I tional number of men attarhed to them. The lion. l Gentleman coppiplaierd of the number of cavalry kept ion the coasts; but he ought to recollect that they I were engaged in the necessary duty of checking con trabanti trade, and that souse part of the force must have time to rest, while others were engaged in this arduous service. He had also objected to the waggon ' train ; but if that establishment oid not exist, the duty must be done by the cavalry or by farmers' horses; in either of which cases great inconvenience would be pro duced. As to what the Hon. Ueutleman said about the expenses of the War-office, the arrangement 'pro posed by the Hon. Gentleman for diminishing the ex pewee, would ultimately cost more than the present expense amounted to. The Noble Lord then pro ceeded to justify the mode in which the business of the Paymaster's department, and that of agents, was car -1 ried on; and, with regard to the Commissariat de partment, maintained that no arrangement could be more economical or beneficial than the present n ode of supplying the army with provisions. He next took no tice of the great convenience which arose from the establishment of the Lithographic press, as well as the saving of time and expense to the War-office He also defended the establishment of the Military college, In which a considerable saving took place last year. There were about two hundred vacant commissions every year. About sixty or seventy ca dets were appointed to commissions. The Hen, Geo tleman was in an error respecting the attendance of professors in the college ; for by the new arrangements, , they were to attend six or eight hours a day. He could' assure the Honourable Uentleman, that the army lied derived great advantage from the young men sent to It from the college. It was of the utmost consequence that officers should be well instructed in military disci pline on entering the army; for an army could meet. be good unless the officers were skilled in the theury and prude* of their profession. Young men could not be dseated so well in private academies as in this coilege: aid without the college, young men iutended for the tlndlitary profession would be obliged to go to the academies of France and Bermanr which every gentleman who heard prove of ; for they must all wish ' with British education, feelings principle that a college was , for the education of those Roman OM who were to instruct the peasants end to prevent them from going for esuntries, where they might imbil from what should be their own habits. As to the barrack department, Beadsman's observations had no founds , aid he had laid no ground for which to great the inquiry moved for deeply lamented the troubles In wl involved, we should remember were the price which we agreed and independence of the cusatry. Mr. CALCRAFTsaid, that fun., the manner in which the motion was treated by 'he Lord, it w ouild have been concluded that the thin. Illtir.•r was seching to do 1.1)111..!ling Web was exceedingly injw.ions or dis grat ef to the (iovernment. Tile .':ohle Lord hail ad-1 %%cwt. I very little in contOt.etion of the leasoning of his Flom The Noble Lord spoke but bt.ce a year, and o hen he did speak, it was to lo- admitted that he a very good sprech.—(llcar, teutii the Ministerial' benehes.)—The Noble Lord, lion ever, proved the best paid orator of the day, for be reeeiied several thousands I of bounds for merely making one s l oped' in the year. If, after the sten:news made ler his lion. Friend, and in the I absence of any fact or reasoning to weaken the efficacy of those statements, the lien-e wire to refuse to the pro pie an inquiry into the pussiltil:t v i.t retrenchment, such a tonne would, he was sure, tend to the ile....ruction of all rnalidence in the disposition of Parliament to lessen the hardens of the country. Sir N. PARNELL expressed his con% iction that suffi cient pourds had let-en sta:eil by tio• lion. Member for demanding a Committee of Inquiry. The Hen. Baronet contended, that there were serious instances Of estrava want increase of stipends, to which the attention of a Z'oninsittee of Inquiry might he very piofitahly pointed. In the civil department of the war establishatent, the salaries, which atnotinted in 1796 to t , 4111. were now, in the fi fth year of peace, smelled to 7,121/. In like manner, the salaries in the Secretary of IV ar's office had experienced a large increase. Its Stott, there were la rious items of expe.:tii'llre so i• at ray z:z all 11170 nil what they here during a 114 I 101 l of a nr, that it was 1110110140.1 r tor the llouse to do its clu'y without instituting an im mediate irtquiry. lie entertained no doubt, that by a' lalioriotot and minute investigation, a great reduction could be effected in the military estahlishment. Colonel DAVIS, in reply, * said, that however the speech of the Noble Lord might be cousidered by him self or his friends about him as brilliant and fat etious, lie (Colonel Davis) was convinced that the public %%mild t•ntertain a very different judgment upon it. The Hon. I ientleman, after noticing •or two inisront•eptions of his meaning, which had been taken up and observed upon by the Noble Lord, concluded by animadverting upon what lie considered the extravagant anon i:IICC3 by way of superannuities. Colonel 6RANT rose, and "Question" being loudly called, lit• sat down.—(Several voices cried out, " new Mt•taber,") alien the Hun. Gentleman again rose and entreated the attention of the Douse for a short time to one or two observations which, as a military man, he thought it right to interpose. Ile &prevailsd the notion that any benefit could be derived to the country from ary redaction of the cavalry regiments. A . good cavalry Mall was not easily made up, and !wore, in rase of any sadden requisition, if the touistry haul been left unpro. sided wish suilicient regiments of cavalry, it would be impossible to bring forward any proportion of that de scription of troops. The Doff. Itentlentan who moved the question animadverted upon the practice of keeping up forage carts upon their preseht footing. Ile (Col. Grata) would undertake to say, that these :wides were of the first Armitage to the troops. At the beginning of the late war, these carts were lett to be drawn by such horses only as could he spared from the regiments, so that, from the bad condition of the animals, the difficulty of driving them produced the utmost injury to the ser vice, for it often happened, that when the carts were in requisition aninqif i st the troops, they were to be found at Coe rear of the baggage. In the itisastrons retreat of our army under the command of Sir John Moore in b :skit was well known that the greatest deficiency Isad aye **coaster MN ih4t of foratre-carta.— (Hear hear !)t—The lion. :tleinher pruposell fife !Tilt/Mrn. of dm Staff Corps, admitting, at the same time, that the country was much indebted to them. With a sense of their merits before him, it -.vas rather strange that the lion. Gentleman should se-k to discharge the obligations ender which they placed the country, by deprii lug them of thosompensation which they now enjoyed. Mkt, ELLICE regarded with great dissatisfaction the extraordinary and itnheard-of extent of military force which we kept up in a period of peace, and especially that portion of them disposed of amongst Colonies from which we received nothing in compensation. Colonel DA VIS, in explanation, stated, that hisobser rations respecting the forage carts applied exclusively to troops employed in England, and in a tittle of peace. The gallery was then cleared for a di% ision, when the For the motion 45. A gai nst it 125.—Maj. against it M. Lard CHARLES MANNERS presented a petition from the inhabitants of Wisboach, Isle of Ely, complain lag of the distress which the agriculturists of that part of the country were suffering, and praying fur souse mea sure of relief. Lord MILTON could not help remarking, that this petition was a strong evidence that distress was not con fined to one class of persons in the country. Here was a complaint of the distressed state of agriculture from a cousiderable market town, the.inhabitants of which were not engaged in any agricultural pursuit. The petiticia was read, and laid on the table. Lord ALTHORPE moved fur an account of Auction Duties as agricultural produce for • specific period.— Orsiered.—Adjourned at a quarter past tea o'clock. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BIeNCII. WESTMINSTER. MAT 16. THOMPSON S. Dt•SIICHX. This was an action by a ship-broker, at Liverpool, to recover from the defendant Isis commission for procuring freight to car out troops to South America. lite plainti ff adduced proof to show that he was em loctayed ,as the agent to General I/el-emus, in order to rJ ships for transporting troops to Bolivar, the imUnneral and :Supreme Head of the Government commie.

Mr. 3cARLSTT, for the defence, contended, that the action could not be maintained, as it was founded upon a contract for hiring vessels to carry out troops to sotto &trips power. This was made unlawful by the WM Foreign Enlistment Bill, which only confirmed former Acts.
