I • . • . ocument, he said, would be laid before the House, accounting for the expenditure of W,OOOL for spes cial services. In Mr. Burke's Bill, it is provided, thAt a book should he kept at the Treasury, contain ing an account of the particular appropriation of money. for special s^rvices, which should be laid b e fore either House of Parliament, uii a motion for that purpose. In tin prese• , t case, as no order had been made i)y the i louse, the gross sum only was steed. With respell to the advance made to the Dfie of Clarence, he could assure the House he knew c nigh of the circumstance, to he convinced that it ; oerfealy right. The Right Hon Gent. (Mr. Batiks) LI i said he wished not to have any permanent c h t ree. In in& there is none, hut as expenses are u navoidable, it remaine f with the House to decide, whether they will not grant what is necessary for the splendour and dignity of the Crown. Every Gentleman must know bow great have been the ad ditional •honselsould expenses. It must certainly be a Matter of regret to the House, that such circum s, mos have occurred, bUt he thought it rather a roarer of wonder tha: so numerous a family should I. tife been supported with so little expense, great as tf.: sum in itself :Apptared to be. Under such cir cumstances, he stwou;d conclude with entertaining a hope. that the House would accede to the motion. !)r. LAURENCE intimated the necessity there for s Bill, that would effedually limit the ex peitli.ure of the public money, and in a speech of s ne l-rigth argued against want of economy, at a period inauspicious to the pecuniary interests of the country. Sir FRANCIS BURDETI' thought the Civil List, as it stood, at present sufficient, if applied with propriety and economy. He was not an enemy to taxes in general. It was their misapplication of which be complained. Taxes might he as beneficial as the mists absorbed by the sun, which fall in refreshing dews. Conceiving the resolution prejudicial to the intents of the country, he should vote against it. Sir JOHN NEWPORT differed from the non. Brunet in many parts of his speech. He thought that en oeriod, however embarrassed, should in the least tiegee interfere with the splendour of the Mo na: !• and Royll Mr. FULLER spoke in favour of the resolution, wilier was then pin and agreed to. `eeeral other Resoluti ins were then moved by Mr. Dic xisso., to which the House agreed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Irish Defence Bill wa , ?" sd a 2d time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The House having resolved itself into a Com xrittee of Ways and Means; The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice of his intention to ;4.opose an additional duty on Stamps; and observed this proposition should be printed for the inspedion of the House: the Members would then he able to examine it mi nutely, and he should be happy to receive any in formation on the subj:S. Mr.-ADDINGTON concurred with the Right Homiarable Gentleman in thinking the plAn would be beneficial. The Resolutions were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received tomorrow.

Yesterday this interesting ceremony took place. At nine o'clock in the m wiling the regiment ar,- sembled at their usual parade, from which at ten o'clock they marched to Cie? kenwell church. Th body of the church was entirely occupied by the volunteers ; the galleries were filled by a ro lite congregation, two-thirds of which were la dies. '1 he colours, unfurled, were placed at the communion table. After the service, they wet consecrated by the Rev. Mr. Lendon, who ass preached a sermon on the occasion, addressed in a very eloqtlent manner to the feelings of the Volun teers, on the nature of the pledge they were about to give the country in the ad of receiving their co lours. Each man, he 4aid, ought to consider this in the same awful light as if the enemy were ac tually on our shores; it was a service of danger ; and each man, who dedicated himself to it, should recoiled that to the God of Battles alone the issue, as to his life or death, could be known. The do y and calling of the Volunteer he represented as one venerated by all the good and the brave. 'I he conclusion or his Sermon WAS extremely soleiria an ' pathetic ; and left a very sensible impression on his audience. From the Church, the Regiment marched to the fields in the isnot of White-Conduit-1 louse. .he upper part of the largest of these, a marquee wa , i pitched, which, before this part of the cere mony began, was entirely filled with Ladies. The grouni was kept by tie Islington Volunteers, and the C.erkenwell Cavalry. About one o'clock, the Regiment anived on the ground, and formed in a line fronting the mar quee Shortly after, Mrs. Map - niac, wife of Colonel Magn .tc, who commands the Regiment, and several other Ladies, entered the ground in die Colonel's coach, with the Colours ; and escorted by a party of the Clerkenwell t. evalry. The grenadiers of the regiment were then dew. 'IA to receive the celours, which were presented by Mt s. Magniac. to Ensigns Molyneux and Dixon, with all the customary ceremonies, that Lady addressing the two Officers, in a short speech, suited to the occa sion. The grenadier; then escotted the colours to the battalion, who received them with presented arms, the band pia) ing " Gad save the Kgmg." The regiment next marched past th- Colonel, in or dieary and quick time, fired by divisions, and con cluded wi•li a volley from the whole line. This ceremony fin:di la Colonel Magnin, in the name of the regiment, pr'sented to Adjutant .tlu :ell (Adjutant of the regiment) a most elegant wort' a. an acknowledgm, in. of his services to the Corps, and a proof of their esteem. A very superb cold colla tion was given by the officers to the ladies, in the room on the left of White Conduit Gardens. The desert WAt a . COMMOTI:y choice. That large room was entirely tilled with ladies, for the most part dressed in a very splendid manner. On the bowling green six tables were covered with a cold collation, for the privates of the regiment, and the Clerken well Cavalry. Mere than 600 sat down to this re past. The whole was concluded with perft/f order. On the ground there was a prodigious number of people, within the inner line (which no one passed witht, t a ticket); there were not less than 500 ladies. The colours were a present from Mrs. Magniac. That lady was escorted to the gardens (when the ceremony Was over) by the cavalry, in the , Airte m inner as on her entering the ground, the populace cheeri:.g her as she passed. Notwithstanding the concourse of spectators, we did not hear that a siugle accident disfigured the day. On Thursday last, the Bethnal Green Volnnteers received their colours, at Bethnal Green Church, from the hands of Mrs. STA' RT I.VANT, sister to Lap tain ST CRTRVANT, of the First Company. Tley were consecrated 1.. y the Rev. JO/IN SIM PION, of Cheshane, in Bncki:!gharashire, in the abience of the Chaplain, the i:ev. Witisram Hushao, who was indisposed. After a very impressive and e1.,- quent discourse, Mrs SruservaNe approached the as rr with the Colours. and in an elegant and dig nified speech, addressed Major CARR IC K, who made a suitable answer.. The Colours being delivered to the Ensigns, the Corpi had a field-day, and went through their several mancetr:res in a. most sol dierlike style. Alter which they retired to a field at the rear of the Major's house on the Hackney Road, where a most hospitable enter tainment was provided for them. After a num ber of patriotic toasts and loyal songs, the even ing was concluded by a mort magnificent display of fireworks, under the diredion of Mr. MACLLOD, Engineer to the Honourable East India Company— in the progress of which was represented a brilliant regulation wheel, with the initials of the Corps. The day concluded with the greatest harmony and festi vity. On Friday last the Custom House Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Witsosi, had a grand field day. They mustered at ten o'clock in the forenoon, I and marched to Epping Fewest, where they scent through all their field and review manauvres in a very superior style, and to the astonishment of every one, considenng the shortness of time they have been embodied. They remained nn the grew d till five, when they marched to L. tytonstonv where a handsome entertainment was p:ovided b y l Captain We i.st RD, w.ne of their Mesas. After dinner, the whole body marched up to the Captain'shotre, and gave him three cheers (or the liberality he had 'hewn. They afterwards returned in complee sol dier-like order, after a fatiguing day. They did not arrive at the Custom House until near I I o'clock. Yesterday the fourth company of the St. George's, Bloomsbury, Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant Fat toe; marched from their Parade (the Museum Gardens) to St. Pancras Church-yard, to fire for a medal, where several excellent shcts were fired; but the best shot was adjudged to Mr. E. Jones, jeweller, Castile -street, Bloomsbury. Af ter winch, the Company were legated with cold veal, ham, and ale, at the exist:me of their worthy Lieutenant. The Wiltshire Militia are on their march froth the Isle of Wight, for Exeter. They march in three divisions; the first of which will arrive in Ewer on the 4th July, the second on the tith, and the third on the 7th. _ _ _ In eonsecinence of the Northern Regiment of West Riding Yeomanry having renta.ne.l on mantra duty fourteen lrys, instead of ten, u nri ssAlly fixed upon, the intention of assembling them at York in July is en.irely abandoned. :~ 1 LAW 0 f GUILLI.I ELI., JUI.II 1.
