With respect to this, he should for tke prestistfonfinc himself to saying that the system was ss er e ., fuel as could be desired. Those branches or the Customs which were generally cousidrred the must productive, as the duties on tea and spirits had not diminished, end this scot chiefly to be attributed to this employment of tin lire men.

With respect to the state of the service geuerally, no mystery was desired. Evely part of it should be laid open to the most scrupulous investigation. The Earl of Wall LEY said, he had not alluded to the particular employment of the sonnets for the preventiou of smuggling. which service, he es* happy to had, MOP effectual fur its object; but N• the subject was noticed by the Noble Earl, he could nit avoid remarking, that such a ulnae of employ ing them was in many respects:iiijurioui to the sci vice, but more paitiesisrly ns it . post tlestroy their discipline, r ..(Neor, Lesie l e4eTisistio which he had alluded was thi state of the gused-ShiPstdidttiooe of which had sufficient , men wit baled 'iv turvillvto % them.

ASSOCIATION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF ENDICITY IN DUBLIN. - THE hatlefol practice of Street Begging, which has prevailed in Ireland to Barret almost pro verbial, has been nearly eradicated in Dahlia. A valuate/my Associative was formed in Jemmy, 1918, among tie re• spectabk tubabitaula of that kletrupoho, whose object It to remove all pretence for *reeking alms, by affording week to ahle.bodied Semis, and subsistence to the aged and infirm, and children. Since the commencement of the labours of that Association, upwards of 7,500 eases of Mendicants have brio iuvestsgated, of which about 2,900 have been deemed proper objects of either temporary or pennaiseut relief; sad about 4,200 strangers have been supplied with the means of returning to 11w pursuits of industry in the places of their nativity. Of those capable of work, the females are employed In spinning linen ..nd woollen yarn, and in making straw plait soil other works ; the males in cleansing the foot passages, and the obscure and retired lanes and alleys throughout the city ; the infirm, and the aged and incapable, receive an allowance partly in food and partly in money; mid • school has been opeued for the children, who are also instructed is route useful empluyinesit. The ge of the expenses of the last year, including those of outfit, arc. was at the rate of 1,0001. per month.— This amount was raised wholly by voluntary contriblitions from the friends of the measure. The expenses for the car rell! year will he comparatively smaller, as the profits of the labour will defray some portion of the charge. Still, however, the actual outgoings are large and immediate, the income irregular and uncertain. The want of • fixed and certain fund to meet the demands of the Institution is most sensibly felt in the purchase of implements and materials fur labour, arid consequently in the difficulty of furuishing adequate or profitable employment—for employment is the mainspring of the whole machine—to teach the pauper the Identities of indnstry,sqg to afford him the means of self exertion and self-support, are the chief objects. To do this Iwith the least esthete& to the community, by making the labour of the mendicants conduce, in part at least, to their subsistence, is • point ever kept in view; spinning linen yarn has been proved by esperierice to be the most effec tual and economical anode of employing the Mendicants, by much the greater part of whom are females; about six hundred are thus employed already. If the funds of the lustitntion could admit the purchase of a asilleient number of spinning-wheels slid other materials, not only upwards of a Itemised more, now either idle or unproductively eins plinjed, could be *sale to contribute in • similar mouser to tfieir own present support and future independence, but 1 all the female chthiren could he insured a kind a astpkop meet which would guard them against the temptations and miseries of Jest dolma. The demands for these purposes have been met by the resident iabahitants of Dublin, with an alacrity and lity equally indicates. . of their good feeling and good sense, but the resources of charity 43 a city now deprived of a large portion of its wealtbaud inasonce, are rusequalfelly to meet a claim increased beyond all former extent or force, iu consequence of this very deprivation; under these circum stances, the Association feels it an imperative, though painful dirty, to call upon those whom Irish birth or Irish property naturally constitutes the national guardians and protectors of the Irish Poor, and who, though removed from actual view of the evil, cannot but have • powerful interest in alleviating the sufferings and amending the habits of the lower orders of this country, alto have been deeply, though not incurably, injured and abased by the toleration of idle vagrancy. To obtain contributions in aid of Ibis object the Mana gers address tin mselves to all their countrymen resident in England, and particularly to those who possess property or receive meme from offices in Dublin; and they do this in full confidence that every body connected with !reload, must be very noxious to uphold an Instituting, which has proved that a population reduced to idleness and beggary, by disiriss and want of work, can be relieved and reformed —an livititut which, by its local influence and general example, must contribute greatly to improve lie monl condition of the run', by recalling them to a life of industry and good order, from one of vagrancy, wretchedness, and crime Sithsrciptiont In this Institution will be received by all the Bankers in Dublin, by Messrs.

JOHN LINGARD, Author of " The Antiquities of the Asglu-Saxon Church." This Work will metals the History of the Southern Divi sion of this Island, (ruin its first Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Hairy VIII. To render it worthy the Patronage of the Public, the Author has spared no pains in consulting the most ancient Historians, and comparing their Narratives with such authentic Documents as are known to exist. He has nut confined himself to a Darren recital of facts, but has endeavoured to trace the progress of the Nation from barbarism to refinement, and to mark its gra dual in the arts of Legislation and Govern ment. With this view be has considered it • duty to deli neate with accuracy the manners, laws, and polity of our Anglo.Sexon ancestors; to iodise the foreign customs en grafted upon them by the Norman conquerors; to develupe the causes which rendered the Sovereign dependant on the bounty of his vassals, sad led to the iutroductios of the Representatives of the People into the great Council of the Nation ; and to describe the most valuable improvements, which in the course of each reign were ensile is the laws, the administration of justice, sold the internal goweransent of the kingdom. It may perhaps be thought a recommendation in Ibis Work, that it was, is the first instauce, composed without any reference to Modern Historians. The Author reli giously ensued its researches to the Original, and *a believer it was possible le Coutemporary Writers. This resolution rendered his task more labor' ; but it rendered it iilso more satisfactory. It preserved him from imbibing the pre judices, or copying the mistakes of others : it left him to the unbiassed exercise of his own judgment; and is has eel. Meted him to place in • sew, sod he trusts a more interest ing light, some date most important occurrences in our History.

CURTIR and others brought up from the House of Commons a Bill for Paving and Lighting the TOMU of Ramsgste, and two Bills of a private nature.—They were read a first time. The Poor Laws Amendment Bill, the Netherlands Stare Trade Bill, and the Hubbaudry Horses Bill, were read a third time and parsed. • STATE OF THE NAVY. The Earl of Deism begged leave, before the House proceeded to the Order of the Day, to call their Lordships' attention to a miliject of the uttuo-t importance to the well-being of the country. As he did not anticipate any objection to the motion, with which he purposed to conclude his observe timis, it might perhaps be thought that he was ob trutlitig himself unnecessarily upon the time of the Howse; but he did not think he should act with sufficient respect to the House, or to the Noble Lords hi Administration, if he did not preface his motion with a few remarks. His object was to draw their notice to the actual state of the navy of this country, which might emphatically be called the right arm of our strength. The navy, lie fraud, would ba found, on a nearer view of the subject, to have been treated not with sufficient ottrittion, whether considered in comparison with the state of our army, or with what was due to the safety of the country. He was very willing to do every justice to the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Melville) for his zeal, and for the numerous improvements he had introduced into the service. One of those improve ments in particular was the sale of all old ships which were unfit for service, whereby the country was relieved from the expense of maintaining wea sels which could never he turned to any advantage. Economy was, uo doubt, highly desirable, but it might be carried too far. On this point he should not now make any further observations, nor on the errors which were stSll observable in the con struction of ships of war. The Noble Lord then moved 0 That there be laid before Ibis House a list of all ships aud vessels of war now in commission, also an account of the number of seamen and marines employed, aud of all abips preparing iu his Majesty's dock-yards" Lord MetyttLE had no intention of opposing the Noble Lord's motion, but he was glad of hay. Mg this opportunity of stating, that the state of the navy ut the present moment was such as ought, and, he was sure, when the details were laid fore the House, would afford the utmost coot. dence to their Lordships, and to every man in the country.—(Hear, hear.)—The navy had occupied the most unremitting and anxious attention of his Majesty's Ministers, and he hod not the least hesi tation in af f irming, that never before, during a period of general peace, was the nail equal its power and efficiency to what it was at present.r (Cheering from both sides of the House.)—Consi clued with regard to the character of the ships, this was indisputable; and with respect to the number of men, he need only add, that, while in former times of pence they dill mint exceed Iti,ooo men, they now amounted to go,ooo.—(Hear.) The Earl of DARN LEI expressed his sincere 111- tisfactiwi ut the stisteniem made by the Noble Lord ; but he begged least tq add, thit his °tom: motions did not apply to the number of men, but of ships, and to the 'node its whicii the men were di*. tributes!. .The Ear) of I.4vearoor. said, that his Noble friebd {Lord Melville) did not wt4s to enter at length into an ammo of the state of the imey. leer his etatetilessly of the vast improvements introduced •iiith the emetic might seem to involve toe meth or 1 his own eulogy ; fur to his Noble Friend, sod the sward at winch he en-Sided, the•coontry wait teal, He could wish that some of these smart lancers were converted into ship* of the line.--(Hcar.) The motion was then agreed to. • . WINDSOR ESTABLISHMENT. • The Earl of LI veseuot lose to move the second reeding of the Bill for regulating the Windsor Establishment, but as the principle of the measure was not meant to be disputed, he should occupy little of their Lordships' attention. At an early part of the Session their Lordships passed a Dill for investing in his Royal Highness the Doke of York the custody of his Majesty's sacred person. A Bill was now brought in from another pleat (where by the practice mid forms of Parliament Bills of this nature generally originated), for the regulation of the Rotal Esiablishinent. in which the House would find that a very considerable re. duction had been effected in the Royal Household. This reduction and consequent 'ping to the public amounted to 50,000/. a year„ ,which, wit the Queen's Estabhshineet of 58,0001., giveu up by his Royal Highness the . Prinie Regent to the dis position of Parliament, caused ou oggregete savinv of 108,000/. a yes!. „ Shit. however, ate was to be made of it gum of 18.01301.0 year, ;cram. ed as compensations to her fate MojestyPseervauts, whereby the total saving to the country was reduced to 0,0001. a year. It might perhaps he necessary fist he should enter into • consideration of the reasons that induced the Noce Regent's (corers. ment to propose • reduction in the 'Loyal Estottlish !tient at Windsor ems, rather itheu. ;Previous to the demise of her late Majesty. He had the honour to hold a test in his Majesty's Council at the petitel when the Establishment was first regulated, he could therefore state the principle upon which :list measure had beets founded. At that pclisd the King's indisposition had lasted nlO one year, and though in the year 1813 the physicians said, what they would perhaps now repeat, that they did not expect his Majesty to recover the perfect use of his understandiug, but still that she hope of such an event should not be left out of the view of the question. This consideration undoubtedly at the; period exercised some iiifluence over the arrange. meat ; but slow that the Kiev's indisposition had continued for right years, the probability uf his Ma jesty's recovery was proportiotiably inure remote. The arrangement, top, he ',mild add, was made with reference not only to the King's situation, but also with regard to that of her. Majesty. as Queen Consort. As ins fair view of tbiesubject, it would be impassible to exclude her Misjestes right to dower, amounting to 100,0001. a year. to the event of the King's demise, it would be found, iu form, ing the Establishment, that the ben of .econoiny had not been.sieglected. bee .Majlesty could be supposed to be in any snorting .rosalogotie to that of having survived jUe Kilip„ber doses could not be refused to her, ,cud if to this were added, the consideratioo of the ry eitieentwa, to wl'ach, .se Queen Consort , b:r e rdeoty.uusst of necessity have been subiected. he .did psi csoceive Establishment ' thought that the &webbailment coup be.
