From e could learn, be bad reason to believe that the was not disagreeable to those who were interested in it. Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that it was ' pain he bad entered upon the question of salaries of public officers should be made Ith the pressure of the times, but he was ba the inquiry by the Address which this hense to the Crown. tie could assure the house Ministers no small trouble to wade through s of details—for they had sat every morphs,' three months—and he thought it was a little . the principle upon which they were so long mold be objected to when they laid the result labours before the house.

That Address prayed the Crown to in inquiry into all the civil offices unit • the ,ith a view of bringiog them as far as possible standard of 1797. But it was ridiculous to assert the servants of the public hail a vested right is situations.—(Hear.)—lf their o ffi ces were a free the house had no right to address the Crown into them.—(Hear )--Government had mks carry the measure into effect with as much as possible, consistent with their duty in obey- Airess of the house.

If I of these persous were treated as freehold; t could not exercise its discretion in that re. it he (Lord L.) was a little surprised to hear Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) admit that ~, could abolish, though it might not modify This doctrine of vested rights was, in his opi• cried much too far. If it were pushed. much , Parliament would be deprived of all right of werlooking public situatiens.—(Heir.)—He believed a clerk, if his salary was about to be reduced, answer his employer by stating that lie lied lowship or given up a situation in the church. L.) was sure that this principle was never in.' apply to the officers whom this Bill would at. tad always understood that the higher classes were those most objected to in this house, and !refine, that Governineot paid the greatest at them. It was his desire to act must liberally parties. He. every day had the opportunity the value of his clerks, and every office hail faithful discharge of duty.

On that ground, and after grief ran lien, the present plan met his support. The idea was taken op from the plan, known through all the minim. st 'WAN and abroad, that every persoa should be obliged to contribute to his own superannuation. The oily security they bad to prevent abuses was to fix a morimom. and be considered that ten per cent. world be eniffidisol to corer all claim for superannuation. As Honorable Member had complsised that a part of the Bill went to make its conditions imperative on the clerks now in *See. If be could sustain his argument of vested rights, he might safely draw sack a conclusion. He was disposed to pay more attention to the observation of an Hon. Friend—that after a clerk bad costribmed for years to a fend for his own advantage, it would be painful to give him a total dismissal from Mike, sod to a claim on his own saviors. Bet he would correct that objection by saying, let all receive back the capital of their subscriptions, leaving only to the Treasury a ne gative in peculiar cases of flagrant abuse or positive neglect. If there was not any such decided misconduct the clerk would have the power of retiring with the capital he had subscribed to the food. The whole of the question was brought forward to execute, in a bowl sde manner, the injunction of the Home conveyed in an address to the Crown on the subjest. lie would feel himself culpable if he allowed the wishes of the HAIM .t o be impeded by his Ma esty'e Government. Os such a plan be most confess t hey would not be volonteen.— (Hear, bear.)—He trust that the Hon. Gentlemen who had supported that Address and had forted them into the measure, would not preheat -Obenseelires m cavillers against their own injunction. sod give an opposition to the details of their own measure .—( Hear . —As to the saving made to the country by the plea he did not think that a sum of 100,0001. could sanction any act of iejostice. He trusted that those Geotleeima who called so loudly for the reduction of use of the Postinesters.General, for the dismissal of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and for every reduction, would sot oppose, in the present instance, the execatim oil their own principles. With regard to tbeHoe. Member for' Montrose (Mr. Home), he was at east consistent; but be thought that be (Mr. Home) wished to carry his views too far in naming a deduction from salary from sto Y. 5 per cent. When he speaks of taking 10 per cent. from salaries of 8001. a-year, it was in fact going to a positive reduction of salary. If there be vested rights in the case, it would be well to admit them at once, and erect these salaries into freeholds. if there were any defects in the details of the measure, they would be arranged before the next Session. Mr. CA LCRA FT explained that be had no continual. cation, either directly or indirectly, with any nerd is office. He could declare most solemnly that Ms inform ation was not obtained from any person in an official si toads*. The Noble Lord had Intimated so much. but he could assure him that be had sever received even a hint from any clerk in office. Mr. HUME said that he did agree with the Noble Lord that the speech of the Hon. Geotleman was a most extraordinary one. He never listened to any address with more surprise, though the Hoe. Gentleman could clothe his sentiments in the most brilliant language; yet be must be mistaken if be thought that be sikeeeded in making an impression on the house. His plan was ab surd in principle, and impossible in practise. (Here the Hon. Gentleman observing that Mr. Canning was not present, said)—He had no right to leave the house—to go away immediately after having spoken.—(A laugh.) He did think that any lion. Gentleman who stated sank doctrines, or who pnt forth a proposition complaining of the whole of the proceedings, thoold have staid to hear what reply could be given to him, or at least if he went away be would not have any right to complain if being misrepresented. Since he (Mr. Hume) bad been within the walls of the house, he bad never beards more con. sisteet and constitutional address than that of the Noble Marquess.—(fiesr.) He concurred with hi altogether os th e nature of the claims which had be* *Wrap.— (Hear.) He was free to confess, that mien examination into many of the complaints on the subject of Superan nuation which be had brought before the house, he found that they were extreme cases, and not such as to warrant the deductions he had made from them ; not that he was incorrect in the cares. but that be was wrong in making generel conclusions on them. He would ven ture to say, that when the Address to the Throne was voted, the intentions of the pease and the wishes of the country were that there should be a positive reduction of Isalaries. He had stated to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer in the commencement of the Salon that this Bill would bring him into difficulties, and that it would be much better for him to take 10 or 15 per cent, off the salaries at once. Ile bad seen a great many publications from people interested in the question. They had better be quiet. as there should be a redaction in all salaries, particularly of those in the higher offices. His objec tion to the present measure was, that it created a fund which would require a collector and officers to mann". He would pat it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to dismiss the Bill at once and make a reduction in salaries —such a reduction only, consistent with the change in the value of money within four years. Let that be the scale, if they . could agree upon it. He could not by any means join in the opinion of the Hon. Member for Es sex, that the redaction in the value of money was 40 per cent. Ile would take the actual reduction by the change I in the currency sod other , to go, without diffi leaky, as far as 15 per cent. By reducing salaries in that proportion, every officer was left as rich, with as good a place, as he had before. In doing that. no indi vidual had a right to complain who was in office previous to 1810. Any increase of salary granted was in conse quence of the advance in price of every article of life; and eves Mr. Pitt had declared, in his speech on the 4th of July, 1803 or 1801, that any increase then granted was in consequence of the advance in prices; and he looked to make a reduction to the previous standard on the return of peace. lie would recommend Minister* then, to dismiss the present Bill altogether, and adopt • positive reduction of salaries. _ Mr. MARRYATT said that we the principle be *ai agreed with other Members; but he considered that any clerk who did not wish to agree to the Fund should be I allowed to declare his opposition, and he exempt from contribution. Many of them had families to provide for, and it would not suit them to devote five per cent. ' of their income to make a fund for the old age of him- self alone. lie thought that the plan of super tion 1 of the East India Company should have been adopted. Many of the clerks in office give a part of their salaries to insure their lives as a provision for their families, and they would not be able to spare any other deduction from their incomes. Mr. CALCRAF'f moved an amendment, which, at the suggestion of the Marquess a Londonderry, was withdrawn. The Report was then brought up, the Bill was read a serried time, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. COLONIAL COMMISSION. On the Order of the i for resuming the adjourned debate on the Commiwion of Inquiry into the state of the settlements of the Cape of Good Hope. the Mauritius, and Ceylon, Mr. WILMOT said that be hoped the Hon. Member for Aberdeen would withdraw his am•ndinent. that the inquiry should be extended to the Island of Trinidad. se be (Mr. Wilmot) pledged himself that papers should be produced which would give him the most putiefsetar) information; but if the Hon. Member sboeld not think so, he would then be at liberty to re :ew the subject early neat Session. HUMS said that after the declaration of the IM namable Member, which helssliieved to be 'Tiede is sin cent), be would withdraw his amendment, and he hoped the Hos. itemiser who seconded his motion would also ooneat• He, believer. pledged Mumelf, if the papers did use tarnish him with satisfactory information, to re slew the subject early next Session. Mr. MA RRYATT expressed his usept to the with drawing the amendment. The amendment was withdrawn, and the motion was agreed to, "That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, that his Majesty he graciously pleased to gin directions for issuing a Commission under the Brest .ta.sdoto inquire let* the state of the Settlements of the Cape of Hood Hope, the Mauritius, and Ceylon. STAMP DUTIES' nut.. On the motion that the House go into Committee on the Stamp Ditties Bill, after a few ob ions from Mr. BERNAL, Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. Hums, the CHAN CRLItOR of the EXCHEQUIR consented to postpone it till nest Session. Mr. F. PALMER wished to take that opportunity of asking the Chancellor of the Exchequer if this *fill was applicable to the transfer of mortgages, as from vtrions communications made to him, be understood high legal authorities were of opinion that it was. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he had no objection to consult the Law Officers of the Crowe upon the subject, and communicate the result of their opinion. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, anti the House adjourned at half-past eight o'clock, to Mon day sett. MIL IC ff. MANIIIOI4-110091L—The driver of the Blackwell stage-ensch, relative to which the examination bad been held at the Justice Room on Thursday, appeared yesterday before the Lord Mayor, to 'Rawer the com plaints of the Gentlemen of the Ward of Cornhill, by whom be wcs charged with having violated " Taylor's Act," by plying fur passengers. Mr. Balm appeared upon the part of the Ward,. and Mr. HAiMIR for the defendant. Several highly respectable men were called for the latter, some of whom were upon the comb, and others getting upon ' It, when the officers seised it. Those Gentlemen stated, that the coachman was driving off when a Mr. Batson called upon him to stop, that the d. lay which took place in consequence was not for one mi nute, and that the coachman and passengers repeatedly told the officers the cause of the delay. The Lord Mayor said, that he was perfectly as. defied the coachman had not subjected himself to the severity with which he had been treated, and repri manded the street•keepers for having overacted their parts.—His Lordship then dismissed the coachman. It is necessary to state, for the guidance of stage coach proprietor., that I coaches have been, in conformity with the Act, taken to the Green-yard for applying for passengers, and subjected to severe fines. flew-s s CON. •ND Elizabeth Flight, a very comely personage of middle age, made a lamentable complaint to the Magistrate of the cruel treatment she had experienced at the hands f her husband. He had taken some unaccountable jealousy into his head, deprived her of all the rights and immunities of a wife, beat her repeatedly, and fi nally expelled her from his house. In this dilemma she consulted with a Solicitor, who advised her to re take po ion of her house, and a few mornings ago she pat this advice in practice ; but it did not answer, fur throughout the whole day bet hashed amused biassed( with standing at the triode,/ and calling ep os Ihe passengers to come in and look at a *trumpet; 'and in the evening he engaged three fellows to eject her violently from the house. This they did do, in the grossest manner, and she was is consequence ed died to lay ►er case before the Magistrates. The Magistrates recommended her to go once more, and endeavour to conciliate her spouse ; and if be as saulted her they would bring him before them, and cause him to give sureties for keeping the peace to wards her. She went accordingly. In the evening she re turned, saying she bad made the attempt, and in en doing she had been violently assaulted by her hus band's sister, a Mrs. Etheridge, and- thereupon the Magistrates issued their warrant for the apprehension of Mrs. Etheridge, who was very shortly brought be fore them. She came attended by Mr. Flight, who, it seems, is landlord of the Bull's Head in Tottenham-court road, l and who solemnly declared that one evening be ac 'sally met his wife, the complainant under this war rant, coming oat of a bagnio arm-in-arm with some back of a fellow ! Before that evening be never sus pected her fidelity even for a moment; but since that time he never could like her, and that was the reason be had put her away. The poor man was really eloquent upon his wife's faithlessness and his own misery, and satisfied the Magistrates that he had actually commenced a erins eon. action agait:st her seducer. The lady treated the whole story with a sort of contemptuous uoa chaletace. l sod eventually the Magistrates, said the course which Mrs. Flight must pursue, would be to apply to the parish officers, who would relieve her, and then sum mon the husband in eke usual way to show cause. With respect to the charge of assault -against Ws. Etheridge, be could not think, ceder the circum stancces, of holding. her to hail.
