The Learned Counsel observed, that the *lode transaction, oil the part of the Defendant, was of a ringular 111111 ssysteri mos sootier, and that the second answer completely coutratlicted the first.

The Eighth Report from the Select Committee on Finance has been printed. by order of the House of COOIIIIOIII. As the Seventh Report, the first in the present Session, related altogether to the Army Estimates fur the service qf the current year, so the Report now under our consideration embraces solely the Eistiinateti of the /Vary. In each Report, bow. ever, the Committee couteut themselves with merely stating the Estimates as they have been submitted to Parliaineut by the Minister', and. act as if they imagined that the expression of an opinion on the propriety of these Estimate" was out of their power or province. We must, indeed. *arrow.. ledge that we review the proposed Estimates for the Naval and Military Services with feel ings of a widely different character. We should lenient a parsimonious spirit of economy i n t h e for. user, as we do the extravagance that too evidently prevails in the latter; esteeming," in► the words of the Sixth Report, '4 the naval superiority of this country as the principle on which its external power, iniereusl safety, and general prosperity, in the highest degree depend." lit the proposed grant for the prevent year, as compered with that of the year inlet, there is I:de crease to the amount of 1,097,61:31. hut in the former grant were included 1,060,0001. fur Navy and Transport Debts; so that the amount of the estimate. for. actual service within the year exceeds the own granted for 18i7, for the same purpose, by 50l:,3871. In this sum . however, is inclsided 178,948/. fur the Transport Service, now brought for the first time into the Navy Estimates. There is then an actual excess of 400,000/. which is ac counted for by au increase of 1,000 men in the vote of seamen, making the whole 'lumber for the present year twenty thousand men. This causes an increase of wages to the amount of 141,700/. which with an increase in victuals, wear and tear, and ordnance, amounts to 4224,9001.-- The remainder of the excess is made up of in creased expenses in the Medical Establishment, in the purchase of stores, and in works. lm this last item—the works, we can trace the cominencemeist of a system of expenditure, which is likely to press heavily on the country for many years. 111 making this observetiosi, we must concur with the Com mittee in believing such an expenditure necessary; but this concession must be attributed solely to our want of local information. We are, however, aware of the nature of some of the works in the dock-yards, which we have no hesitation in con sidering as little better than jobs. Let such of our Y 1411614 as possess equally partial know ledge, reflect on the object and nature of what. ever public works they chance to be acquaint ed with, and in forming en opinion on these isolated parts, they may render it general, and conic to a tolerably correct conclusion in estimating the cha racter of the entire. A sum of 27,000/. is inserted for the Victualling ofli.c wall of Deptford, and 7,000/. fur roofing a slip. The wharf wall of Woolwich is to be imme diately rebuilt. The sum proposed to be expended at Sheerness is 170,000/. and is said to be the least that could be taken in the presort year to produce any thing like a sheer of activity in the new works. " The expediency of such exertion." observes the Report, " will ht seen more forcibly, when it is considered that there are no leas then 18 sail of line of battle ship* lying at Slwerness molly for equip ment at a moment's notice, arid that the Dock-yard, in the uutinished stale of the works, dots not afford the means of fitting them out with that expedition which a sudden armament would require. in Plymouth Sound 60,0001. were expended last year. and 65,000/. are proposed for the present. More than 10,0001. was expended last year at Hatilbow. line bland iu the Cove of Cork, and an equally large sum this year will probably be necessary. Should all these works be neceasary, as some of them (such as the Breakwater in Plymouth Sound) undoubtedly are, the time of peace is properly chosen as the best period for completing them. —We cannot avoid remarking ou the unusually large establishment of revenue cruisers in the present year, being notes. than seventy-two vessels. It is a matter for serious consideration for Govern ment, whether the enormous expense of a military and naval force. expressly and exclusively employ. ed in the trade of contraband, dues oat call loudly for *diminution in the Custom Duties, which at present hold out so very large a premium for smug.
