a halik ce.l4 statement as that the estif.— .. __ _ year, as compered *4 the lest, presente d only a reflection of 11,PMOL, where* the real slifesessee was 53,0001. There was a cousielerable reduction to evert branch of the Ordnance Estimates, eAcept the sine one of supetannuation, which of *equally was . a WWI iSereased. The Neu, (lea% dim en tered isilaililetail of the reductions, abusing a total. of 00,a041. Vibe Hon. Gesetleman oppaise could make se grass a mistake with the agree aa law lieflois hand, he would put it to the Ileum, whet 9egrec of relience could fie placed in his aptieplettl* +where 6.114 within to gelds him. Tie Hum tientlemon bed remarked very much upon the ser vants allowed to °Seers ; that wis not an abuse of the present time, it had bees, the system fora long course of years. The Noble Hulse now at the beed . of the Department bad noticed it as an *s o, a n d b a d. sitegamt • plea for its gradual tore. _ He did 'lot think it proper to take away the prirthge from them who hid heretofore en . Joyed it; bat lie had directed that Do officer hereafter appointed should be perimittell a hare such servants. The Honourable Gentleman had she resulted upon the increase of the salary of the Minster-General, from 1,5001. to 3,000/. When She Hoot. Gentlernau's speech reached the puhlic, especially if he furnished the copy himself, as he had it from the Hon. Geodesist' thet he sometimes did, it might be thought, frets the manner in which he had treated the subject, thst this doubling of the salary hid been effected in the titue of the iDuke of Wellington, or of his predecessor, Lord ifiulgrese; whereas it had in fact occurred upon the Union of Ireland with Guest Britain, when the Irish Master- Generalship was incorporated with the English, and the duty being doubled, the salaries also were united. The Marquis Coruwallis was the Master. (intend at that time, and his character would free hips from say suspicion of corrupt intention. His pun lifr. Vt'srd's) ',Helvetica hid been reduced from sereuseen or eighteen buodeed to about twelve hundred pounds; and he euumereted se vend other instances of reduction in the salaries.— Yet he had no doubt that the alistateoleut of the Huu. Geutleniso would be repeated over sad over spa ; because be never knew any correction of bis statements to alter his disposition to militate. The . Hun. Gentleman caused e taistuteateut to he luserte4 iu Or Tinter, which aid, that "' the Clerk .4 :the Ordminee dewd that the Storekeeper at Dua'er had a pension of 500/. • year." Now what ilia (Mr. Ward) had stated on the occasion was this, the 'fon. Gros. Ittvipi; staled that the Storekeeper ai s Rorer* refired qu a pertain of 5001. he dewed . Ai Sileseattpar had retired from the office. , staresseale bad been made in The Times, to ' ne6eillis (116,:irmirs) imeoevectosae, abeam' ON inaccuracy of, the [fort. Member's ateteraeal had notbeenputiued st i',l). Whits . ilia statement ap peared in The fires, is conversation with the Hun. Gentleman he told him that it was false ; and the Honourable tlentleman answered, he was sorry for - it, es he wrote it himielf. To this he (Mr. Ward) replied, that it was rather an awkward eircurnsisoce, but that he now knew his opiuion, winch wish intuit was false. To do the Honours. Llt Gentleman justice, he mast add, that, in-. • tilithidrafjompipg down his thrimr, he said, "If so, .1401 hove it corrected ;" and twisted on doing au oil ars *et of justice; but to this monseat it had not been corrected, lithe. Editor, or the Writer in TA le.Tiates were now in the .nel ery.—(Repeoted • • • asses of " Urder !")—He believed he was out of . order, but he' had °illy intended to expresa his hope . .that it would now be corrected. The Honourable -..rirtiensitra then deprecated the imputations of corruption which had been cast upon the drpert .:rotent. He bad, by chance, in his 'flood, 9 ttelement of the number of of f ices in the detach west ;glitch had been seduced in the shod time since the Duke of Wellington had been at its head; the 'lumber was 68, and the amount saved was about 14,0001. a year. Whenever • vacancy oc curred, the first question silted by the Noble DPke was, whether the office could be dispensed with. On • recent occasion the Adjutant-Generalehip of t;ilstaltar became vacant, and was applied for by insey distinguiplied orilitsry .clier..cters, who had se'svid lit various parts of the world ; the Noble .fluke asked, as towel, if it could be diapeirsed -Arab and after inquiry of the limper officers, he • veutured to disprove with it. The system of gra tuities had been much mistaken by the Hon. Mem ber. It was sir addition 10 the salaries of certain officers, regulated by a scale of proportion to the Length of their entice., ,and intended to 'dime them altawisit Noel footing with. the officers of tither stsvortategtivaith ohonsthey.wore entitled to rank, he meant the War Office mid the Navy Office—rod not, es the Hort. Member had incorrectly suited, the Admiralty and "fressury, Mud Secretary of titate's Office. The nature of this system might lie explained by the case which had Isidore been mentioned, of the storekeeper of Dover : the salary of that office was 300/. ; having served 30 year., be became entitled to a gratuity uf . 2.00/. which lie woold take with bias wherever he went.— doodler mistatement of the Hon. Member's was, that the Mager-General was indulged with a Secre tary for his pirate affairs, whose salary from 3001. bad been russet! to 2,0001. The fact was, that from the limner Queeu Anne to Lord filulgrave's time, two Seoretelies had been allowed to the Master • General; the first as Mtlitary Secretary to a Comenander-in.Chief, with a salary of 7001. staff " 11 "attees and fees upon commissions, which made it equal to 2,0001. Lord filolgrave re duced the Utider-Secretary, and appended an additional Clerk in the Office, with the same salary of 3001. and took away the staff allow emcee tad ( rte from the o ilier Secretary, giving him a fixed salary of 2,000/.; •so that the ac tual expense of the office was not increased by the reform.—/.Lead loathier from the Op- P°sitiva.)—Tbe next of f ice remarked upon was • that of inspector of gunpowder at Feversham. The Cale stood thus—there had been two manufectoties, sue at Fever sin and the other at Waltbata Meal. &cadent Is refer to Itttskto the statedents of the Honourable Gandeioak' Ve believed that no permit bad ever before been placed in such a siessesdes .1 014 in nhiOt his elf, of baa:lume . rnexpesto)! cilTed"V inisaar rn 1 4 .1 0 ippl4w l 44l Laa‘ *acb peeporaPoo to Mscorowei""dn__ Awn U. had felt math asrpoiso that the biononnibie- Gentleman, vit Itle a dammed before him, the firm" in his bant e tinf4 brWcted Mich a statement as Oat" eiti , maten or the present 'tone IseWe . a house heinnt6EA tho opi r 24 ,F 3i :la ifivai ei 60-ialetielto , al' W iped, at e s s i cli so te.

The herd of c o ii.. resit Services was thou accounted for. The engi neer officers had no barrack., no sees, no coals emir candles, and no travellingespewers within five mile* but a gra " y was given them in lieu of such al lowances, of the smallness of which they bitterly coptpliiined. Mach of She extraordinary cherac ter of the Honourable Member's statement weaned to be derived from has having mistaken the difference between an estimate end an accoupt. The Hon. Gentleman steted, that the expeustr ledger should be regolarly laid before the House evny year. Oa that point they were seiresd, sod perhaps the only one in his whole speech. But that Gentleman complained, amongst other things, of the expense of the barriu:k of St. John'a Wood. But the answer to that was simple. During the war ws were obliged to have additional barracks near London, and unfortunately we hsppened hot to he able to dispose of that. although we should be excessively glad to do so; and he could aware the Hon. Geutleman, as it seems to have caught his attention, that he would sell it to him very cheap —Ol luatgli.j—Much had been said about clerks' hash% retired on full salaries after four years ;service, but be defied that Gentleman to produce one stogie instance of it. Oise point more and he had dime • it was a trifling one indeed, and had been state d by that Gentleman in his usual manner, that is incorrectly, grossly incorrect, that clerks had 500 I: a year salaries for selling old stores. Now he was quite positive that was not the fact. But he protested against the whole conduct of that Hou. Member this evening, and he was sure there was not • fair man on that side of the House that would not say he bad beets uufably dealt with. He had been called upon to night to discuss the affairs of the Ordnance for many years back, with out a single document or papers of city kind to refer to. Before he sat down he would make this observation, that had the lint'. Gentleman come to the consideration of this qaestion without any party feeling, he should have told the House that since the period he alluded to things were materially altered. He has Dot stated that every tiling has been raised in its value siuce that time, and consequently the pay of mew. He has made no mention of the return of the accounts of Ireland since the Union, 100,0001. a year. He has not said one word about the improvement of the artil lery, the different arms that have been introduced . since that period, said abate all that glorious addi tion to our establishment, the horse artillery.— And all there things, he should hive told the House, had been added aince the happy days to which be alluded, when the Ordnance &Inmates were 400,000!. a year. Now he was ready to admit that there were still many improvements to be made, and he should be always happy to have the co operation and advice of the Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) ; but, really, when he took all these thing, into consideration, the only thing that satirised him was, that the estimates were so low. . Sir It. FitßaNSots would not follow the Rt. Hon. Z utleman through the whole of his speech. Ile . _an conceive that the lost impression had been -mode on the House by the speech of the Hon. Mover, but he wished to remark that it would be much more convenient if the estimates were laid before the House distinct, and not in a lump. Sir HENRY PARNELL wished to cell the atten tion of the House to a document which would sheer that the Rt. Hon. Gent. opposite was not wine so pure as his statements would lead one to think. It was the sixth Report of the Committee of Fi nonce, he would read a section of it.—[The Hon. Baronet did eo.l--It stated that many abases had been corrected, but that in the o.duarice, this practice hail been carried great lengths.—(Hear.)-- Nave really he thought this was very strong rvi &lnce in currobonstion of the statement made by the Honourable Mover. Mr. TRIMAT mu objected to having the estimates laid before the House in huge sums ; if they were produced in distinct sums. it would be much more convutieut to any person who might wish to oppose a particular port or them. W - ad,- the Hon Sir WAI. CONGREVR .ddressed ,at we could toot distinctly hear what he stated. We understood him to say that millions of money had been expended on the machinery for making gun wrier, and it would be a pity to abolish tt. Mr. WARD explained. The House then divided. The numbers were— Fur the Motion 4. Agniipt it.

And ulau—• ft That a Return be made of all allowances, pension., super led salsit:es, &c. in the same department."— Ordered. Mr. WARD moved, that the Ordnance Eatimates be printed. Mr. 1111116 objected ; he said they were quite nugator,, they afforded nu information. Mr. HUSICIPSOII complained of the inconsistency of the Oppovition. Every thing that hail heen de. sired iv granted, and he now objects to hare the statement. printed. Mr. Hume would not lire's the matter to a divi sion now, he should take some other opportunity. Sir .1, NEWPORT wished to know whether th er e would be nay opposition given to the Resolution he lied to propose ; if so, he should postpone it, if not, he should move now.

We are sorry to state, that the indisposition of the Marquis of LANIDOWN prevented the House of Lords last night from entering into the pro mised discussiou upon the Foreign Trade of the EMpire. The Navy and Ordnance Estimates were laid last night upon the table of the House of Commons. The sccounti laid before Parliament of the 1 1 weekly amount of Bank of England notes in circu lation between the 18th of July, 1820, and the 6th of February, 1821, represent, that on the 18th of July the total sum was 0,043,380/. ; on the 12th of December, 26,788,4601. ; and on February 6, 1821, 23,563,6801. The highest amount of nobs in circulation during the period was on the 18th of July, and the lowest on the 12th of December. This statement, we think, calls for some public 'notice. When Parliament resolved, in the Session of 1819, that the Bank should address itself to pre paring the n►eans for returning within the peritd pres:ribed to the payment or its notes in cash, ■ considerable length of time was granted fir the avowed purpose of enabling the Directors, in con currence with the wishes of the Government, to effect this great national object by u blow and gra dual progress, in the hope of thereby obviating many of the evils which must uecessarily result from a rapid ■ud sudden reduction of the circulating medium. The operation was necessarily confided to the discretion, and also to the patriotism of the Directors, and we are fully convince 4. that the trust could not be reposed in men of more strict integrity or of sounder principles of honour ; but it is very possible that, not having originally con curred in approving the measure enacted by Par- Wawa, sad feeling apprehensive of us effects, not only upon the interests of the Corporation, which they are bound especially to protect, but also upon the well-being of the Stitt., their subsequent pro ceedings might not have been adopted in perfect accordance With the sentimet►ts entertained by the Legislature. When the measure suggested by the two Committees was under consideration in the Session of 1819, no attempt was made by any of those who advocated its expediency to conceal from the public that the good it contemplated was to be purchased by a certain evil, and by public uteri flees to even a considerable extent; but it was also hoped that this evil might, in a great measure, bets viated, and the dreaded sacrifices beneficially reduc ed, by the ;node of leading the plan to perfection. With the Bank of England it rested to regulate • the amount of the circulating medium of the coun try, and as the danger apprehended vies to arise from a reduction therein, it was hoped that the Bank would not limit its issues more than the strict necessity of its affeirs should require. In July last gold was at the mint price of 31. 176. 10Id. ounce, and at the same time the issues of the Bank amounted to 46,043 3801. ; uo necessity therefore seemed to exist of reducing the issues to itny lower 'mount, yet we find that iu the December follow ing, within the short space of six months, the issues did not exceed 40,7841,4601. being ts difference of mere than 5,000,0001. or a.fifth iportiot the entire peepers of the circulating asediw at its Ayt4r.t amount.
