He al 1.1 not trouble the House at any length, es the Ittlitiret had been befitte it several times, lIIId snore dun once last Session. He believed few Gen tlrrnen %mold be dispmed In deny, that the places to be mentioned io his Motion should tint etijoy the benefit of two Assizes in the ye:tr. Ile was happy that the measure proposed had received general cosictirrence. and al.(' happy that his Nlajesty's Ministers had wady some progress towards currying the plan into execution. The Hon. Gentleman then morn!— " That an litinihle Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Ptioce Regent, praying that Ina Royal High ness would ke graciously pleased to take lute consideration the Report of 11w Select Committee un the Administration of Justice in the four Northern Comities of Enmberland, Westmoreland, Nerthornlserlaml, and Durham, and the Town and County of Neweastle.upomiyne; 11/1/1 ill take such met. sarris as to his Ihiyal Highness may seem fil, to carry into execution the opinion of the said Committee: And to as. sure his Royal Highness, that this House will make good all charges incurred iu complying with The prayer of the Address." The motion having being put from the Chair, The SOLICITOR GRRERAI. rose, not to make the least obj•ctiou to the motion. Ile sincerely w i shed that all the expected advantages might follow from it to the four northern counties, arid wa. happy to gay no arrangemeot on the subject was tinder the consideration of his Alajesty's aii lusters, and would very shortly he completed. Mr. Ill:ftstAN bad not the smallest objection to the measure, to which, in Isis conception, it was impressible any one could object ; but it had been a matter of surprise to mane, in sod out of the lionise, that it was lint till that night the subject was staled to be miller the consideration of his Majesty's Ministers. The Report of the Com mittee had been presented near a year ago; peti tions from the counties in question had also been brought up a long time since, Hurl he thought that not only those counties, lout the public at large, had a tight to expect something earlier. lie hoped the plate in contemplation might be completed without ally clashing with the other parts of the ►ystem of inlininistrative justice, and particu larly without enlarging the number of the Judges, which would be s serious national evil. 'Ube midland counties were equally exposed to the inconvenience under which the northern coun ties laboured, and were entitled, he thought, to a similar mode of redress. There were, at the pre sent period, in the Midlasid Circuit, above 100 prisoners croiriiiiitterl for trial, besides '2OO at present confined in Warwit k gaol ; so that making a com parison of the total number in that quarter for the Assi7es, not less than 400 persons were likely to be then before the Judges. This was a %cry great grievance, when the state of prisons Milli the pniiislinietit to it huels unfortunate persons were exposed by a long detent iiiii Isel'ore trial in this manlier. Ne trusted the whole subject would be taken up as applicable to the general state of the midland and the northern counties, and he had no doubt that ►f his Majesty's Govertiment gave it proper ours', 0000 , a permanent plan might, in ilie course of the present Session, be adopted. _ _ _ Lord CASTI.IFIMAGH defended his Majesty's Government boat the charge of supineness on this question. Ile Said that it was before the high legal character iu whose more immediate puovince it was to consultr the siihject, and that he wits posi tive the utmost attention would be given the matter, with the view of giving such redress as circum stances should justify. It was, however, quite clear. that the remedy wa• not so easy or simple as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed to think ; for the llon. Mover (.11r. M. A. 'faylor) first re commesided an addition to the bar of Judges to remedy the evil he roniplained of, and now the f lout. and Learned Grotirinisii, having precisely the same oh]. ct ur his eye, deprecates the upplicits lion of Poch a trustily, and thinks another and a better night hr applied. He hoped himself that no mortisl delay would take place lei giving the subject Ilse littlest consideration. Mr. M. A.

Lord Catirt.eoaatn then ruse, and spoke as fol low.: " lu the Address that followed the Speerli from which an extract liss just been read, this House, after the expression of its deep regret for the. la mentable sheath of her late Majesty, pledged itself to take such measures us necessarily grew met of the event for which they expressed their condolence to his Royal Highileis the Prince Regent. It wus for the House now to ',reeved to fulfil that promise, soil to take such steps as were rendered necessary by the demise of the Queen, with respect to the Royal Establishments. It is impossible to advert to the event which has led to our present proceeding, without contemplating the character of the illus trious Personage whose loss we have deplored. I think I run draw a confident hope, that her Majes. ty's bright and eniiiient example for the long pe. rim! of 57 years that she shared the throne of these realms with our revered and affectionate Monarch, will leap; hr felt by the country, and that the peo ple will long cherish and feel the moral benefits of her high and virtuous example. Her late Wes. ty's piety, benevolence, and above all, her extensive and unostentatious charities, will, I trite, long operate upon the moral character of the country, and render her memory dear to every loyal and vir tuous mind.—( Loud cries of Hear, hear, hear.l— recommendation from the Throne, to which he meant In call the attention of the House, branched itself out into two parts. The first related to the steps which the wisdom of the Legislature Might think tit to adopt, under existing circumstances, reipecting the care of the King's Person—and the seerind, re lated to those measures which grew out of the la. mined demise of her late Majesty, and which were necessary in consequence of the establishment pre vionsly voted for the Queen's use. As to the first I part, the Bull sent down from the House of Lords. I and which stood for a second reading here this even ing, would explain to the House the arrangement which it was deemed advisable to recommend to the consideration of the Legislature. By the Act of lel toile Queen was invested with the sacred trust of the care of the King's person. It was intended that this trust should, in consequence of the death of her Majesty, he confided to his Royal Highness ! the Duke of York. On the principle of having CI person invested with this sacred trust, I apprehend' there can be but oneopinion. So longas this principioll is adhered to, I also imagine there can be no doubt of the propriety of selecting a member of the Royal Family to carry it into operation; and I know that if his (Majesty were sensible of surrounding objects, he would feel no greater satisfaction than at finding the care of his sacred person confided to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, after the demise of the Queen. This naturally leads me to the considera tion of the steps rendered necessary by her Ma jesty's death, by which event the income appropriated for tier Establishment out of the Civil List becomes disposable in the hands of the Crown ; it also na turally leads to the 100,000 f. annually voted, since 181.1, for what is termed the Windsor Establish ment. I mean, on the present occasion, to move that the passage in the Royal Speech which refers to the Windsor Establishment, shall, together with the gracious Message we have this night received, be referred to a Committee, with instructions to make a Report, ou which the House shall hereafter found a Bill for the due regulation of the two Establishments. As the question connected with her late Majesty's income, and also that respecting the Windsor Establishment, involved a variety of detail, and as the information to be given con nected with each must obviously embrace a variety of topics, it would perhaps be more advisable for lie not to trespass upon the House at this moment with those details, but reserve them for the Committee, where they could be with more convenience sifted and considered. I mean to call fur no opinion on the propositions which it is intended to submit to Parliament, until the Com mittee shall have gone through the whole of the ne cessary estimates, and then furnished the House with the Report which shall be the result of their delibetatimis. I mean to take no vote to-night on the merits of the question, but to let the ulterior proceeding depend on the Report of the Committee —not a Committee by ballot, but one appointed in the usual way ; after which, when the whole sub ject was open to the House, a better opportunity would be afforded of seeing it in all its bearings. I think it right, however, in the present stage of the proceedings, to submit to the House a general outline of the nature of the vote for which I mean hereafter to call. I do not inland to call for any new grant of money whatever for the Crown; on the contrary, 1 shall have the more gratifying task of calling, our the part of the Crown, for die co operation of Parliament to give effect to the mea sures of economy, which the change in the Royal Establishments rendered necessary. In fact, I con sider the plain effect of my proposition is no other than this—to divest the Crown of certain property which it now might hold, slid place it either in the Consolidated Fund, or for die general service of the country. 1 wain, on the part of the Crown, to palace this property beyond its control, and make it available fur the general uses of' the country. This economy can only be effected by the introductiou of a Bill, for as the Royal Household now steads, any saving in any of the dosses of the Civil List, except the third class, which relates almost en tirely to the expenses of Foreign Ministers, may be carried over to another class ; for instance, any saving in the Lord Chamberlain's department may be carried over to the Lord Steward's, so that the general funds of' the country would derive no direct benefit from the particular saving. This is not the wish of his Royal Highness the . Prince Regent. His Royal Highness was most anxious to have the rid of Parliament so enable him to place at the disposal of the public service, the saving which must arise from the hate melancholy event. In 1814 au annual grant of 100,0001. was voted by Parliament fur the Windsor Establishment. M'ith this groin, as the law now stood, the Prince Re. gent had no power to interfere, and if any reeling arose in it, the Lord Steward's department &lived the benefit of it. At present the demise or the Queen led to w saving or ss.outit. to 'to. it WWI intended to mild w reduction of 50.0001. per si ttttt in, out or the 100,000/. tiopoiliterl for the IVitsdsor Establishment. Thee conjoint 8111114 4411111111, by the intended arrangement become np plivable to the Treamiry.—(llear, hear.)—The limPie will therefore see. that the eff,ct of this orriiii i ,:entriit will be to giro the PlibllV, pro loofa, the help tie of !holm Reims which wore lirrrtofole iip• plicalite to other %i.e.. If the therrfure ▪ MI the whole, that there 14 a maissrest desire on she part of his Royal Highness the Prince Itr gent, and ton the part of Ins Alujest)'* to adopt such strict measures of economy as recent circumstances admit of, the', I am persuaded that no cavilling upon trifling details will nark the In. tore consideration of tins question, but that the House will take it as it is intended, namely, the manifestation of a cordial desire fur the adoption of every measure connected with the hest interests of the country. The Windsor Establishment re ceived au animal grant of . 100,000/. and the Queen's Establishment 58,000/. To the latter a contingent addition had been made to her Majesty, as (*HMIS persona , of the King. It was intended, that, as the Duke of York was to lie invested with this trust, he should also receive this additional sum, to cover the contingent expenses to which the trust might expose him. Without calculating this 10,0001. the items would stand in this sump uer :—the Windsor FAlahlishment, 100,000/. per annum, the Queen's, 58,0001. ; tnakiug a total of 158,000/. per annum. The projected saving front both would Make a total amount in favour of the public of 108,000/.; subject only, according to uniform precedents, to the necessary provision for her late Majesty'. servants, which, at a rough views, might amount to about 25,000/. a year. It was to be recollected, with respect to this list sum, that the annuities are to be merely for the lives of the present servants, many of whom are of ex treme age. The immediate and direct saving would be therefore 83,0001. a year, and the raving at the expiration of the claims of the annuitants, 108,000/. If also any seeing could be effected in the tisent of the SO,OOO/. for the Windsor Establish ment, it was intended to carry it over to the Civil List, to assist in carrying other savings into effect. The Windsor Establishment would, no doubt, have all the benefit which could he effected by the economical exertions of Colonel Stevenson. the Groom of the Stole. I wish principally to explain to the House the reasons why his Majesty's Ministers have not hitherto felt it proper to bring the Wind sor Establishment under parliamentary considers lion. This subject has been more than once touched upon by Honourable Gentlemen' opposite, but con scious, no doubt, of the delicacy and impossibility of coming at the time to any satisfactory result, these Gentlemen, with a due sense of feeling and propriety, refrained from making the matter the. subject of any formal application to this Ilousei With the vigilance which they sheaved upon every other department of the public expenditure, they had certainly taken no step on this particular branch, and I may airmail fairly infer that their forbearance was from • conviction of the difficulties which the subject presented to the adoption of any important retrenchment. During the lifetime of the Queen insuperable difficulties arose to any el leviation iu the King's Household. If any attempt at dictating a material saving had been then made, and that her Majesty saw an anxiety that she should he placed in the situation of Queen Dowager, there was nothing to prevent her front demanding the set tlement of 100,000/. to which by her marriage she was entitled, and her annuity would then have been 100,0001. intead of 58,0001. It was quite impos sible at a sooner period to have adopted any erotic). mical arrangements which would have been worth the attempt. Indeed, the only brancii of the King's Household that might have been tangible was that of his Majesty's State Servants—the total 'amount of whose emoluments was under 6,0001. •-year ; and for any saving in such a sum, was it worth while to call into action those feelings of de , licacy which must have been aroused at every step taken in such a pursuit. The establishment for his Majesty's person, in 1812, was founded upon the pro bable hope that be might have recovered so tar as, if not to be able to resume the exercise of the Royal authority, at least to be sensible of the situation in which he was placed, and the attentions that had been paid to him. In such au expectation it was right and proper that due regard ahould be had to the royal alumina and feelings, mid particularly to those of her Majesty. But now that the min nuance of his Majesty's lamented disorder, Nod the advanced state of his life, had greatly reduced the probable chance of his recovery, the time might lie said to have come when • revision of the Royal Establishment was necessary ; and wheat this revi sion should take place with a strict atteution to public economy, mid at the same time a proper ob servance of that attention to the comfort and care of the sacred jirrvon of our venerable Sovereign which every good man in the empire must be must anxi ous to pay. The Ministers of the Prince Regent have duly weighed the Royal Establishment, and they have applied their attention to the T o.„ Esta blishment of his Majesty. By die Act of Ilk!, the Queen was peremptorily required to keep up the Windsor and Town Establishments ; and even where a vacancy in the Household took place, she was bound to fill it up without delay. In the new urrangement the intended reductions of offices were as follow :—.A Fare-Chamberlain, • Master of the Robes, four bonds and four Grooms of the Bedchamber. It was right to state, that the Lords of the Bedchamber who me to be reduced solicited permis.ion to be allowed to retain their Aces without any valley, as the last proof which they hail it in their power to thew of their loyalty and gratitude to sievered and afflicted Sovereign.—(lleur, newel—The gross saving by the abolition of these offices would be 5,9931. per annum. It was intended that the Earl of Win chilseu should superintend the King's Household Establishment, and that six Equerries should Ito succession do duty upon his Majesty at Windsor. These were to consist of the oldest servants 1 ,1 t h e King. I have reason to state that the sum of 60,000/. will be sufficient for the Woolsor Esta bheliment, including the 17 or 18,000/. a year for the physicians in snrudauer.

It is not the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to make any precedent iu this case, but merely to leave it entirely at the discretion of Parliament to give that relief which, under all the circuni stutters. they may deem eligible and just."— 'The Noble Lord, in conclusion, ref-spit uleted the observations with winch lie set out, nolowly, that the details were better for enumeration before a Coomnittee, and that nothing of favour, but. on the contrary, the strictest sense of justice and eco nomy had actuated his Royal Highness the Prow* Regent, and his Majesty's Govertiment, in the mesa sures they had prepared for the consideration of Parliament on the present occasion. He also ' repeated the total amount of the Windsor Esta blishment, and the gross saving of 108,0001. per annum, which by the present arrangements would be effected, subject only to the monodies of 25,00 U/. for the lives of the persons holding them. The Noble Lord then Moved, *, That that part of the Speech from the Throne which relates to the Wind. sot Establishment, and the Message received from the Prince Regent this evening, he referred iso Committee of the whole House on Thursday next." He at the same time observed, that if the Report of the Select Committee, to which he meant to refer the estimates of the several charges upon eseh Establishment, was not prepared, and in the hands of Members in sufficient time to be read before Thursity, be would not press his motion on thud day. Out the motion of the Noble Lord, the follooriag Members were appointed ow the Select Committer, to examine into the several salaries and charges of the Servants of her late Majesty's Household, and to report thereon to the House:— Mr. Tierney, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Dimighans, Mr. Banker, Lord George Cavendish, Lord Murpeth, Mr. Lamb, Sir Arthur Piggott, Mr. Lung leaky, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Lynch'iw, Mr. Vesey htt gerahl, the Solicitor G I, and Mr. Franklsod Lewis. Mr. LONG WELLESLEY was really to admit, that there was a great difference between making the alttratiou in the Windsor Establishment at Inc former and at the present period.
