WALLACE. Sta,—ln clearing my official character from the aspens 'ions winch you have so publicly thrown upon it, I (10 not mean to affirm. or even to imply, that you have been grossly deceived. Had you been imposed upon by fise testimony, or had you illogically drawn your inferences from insufficient premises, althonah I might have disputed your competence as a Commissioner of Inquir. I should have throwu no imputation upon your uprig htness as a man. But you have no such apology to plead. No im position has been practised, either upon the slowness of your discernment, or the tininess of your understanding; l on the contrary, the anisrer esentatioes you have made are purely andexclusively your own. You have sought to establish false charges with infinitely more zeal than is usually shown in the investigrion of actual guilt—you have laboured to give a colour of reality to facts which have no existence—you have raised up accusa nous cm evidence which you ought not to have received, while you have withheld evidence, which, in justice, ou ought to have produced. On whit ground can you justify your aye: meat, that on specialty up / dying for the !Muslim Accounts of the County Fire Office for the year 1919, nothing could he proittc al to you, but the fragment the cover and a !Aug al one nfthe pairs t, whet. tern qaarters of that very year's account were proffered to you nerji•rt and entire? Wherefore is it that you give a most conspicuous placein your Report to your letter from Edinburgh, which charges unprrerdentrd neglect anal delay against the Com missioners of Stamps, while you suppressed their Svretary's answer, which removed an ground of complaint? What vindication will you offer for that deliberate distortion of evidente, which had for its object to confirm that wrongful impression which your Report hail already raised against me? But for the development of facts which your false accusations have ilrawit front ice, I must have been !milled to the public estimation, utterly, and without redress. What inducement—every one would have said, and pro perly enough—what inducement could Mr. Wal lace have, as a Commissioner of Inquiry, for attack ing the Cliairmair of the Board of Stamps? What diaire can lie have to arraign his conduct undeservedly? What object can he seek by his removal from office? Of what importatic- is it to hint who tills the Chair? He has only a public duty to perform, and what motive cart he have that shoot,' interfere with the fair discharge of it? Such questions are reasonable ; because it was not suspected —for there was no reason to suspect—that you could be leagued with that power in Scotian 1, which upholds the very abuses which I had strenuously laboured to put down. It was not known that I hail unveiled a system of nefa rious mismanagement in the Stamp Office in Edinburgh, and that, by causing the removal of the principal ag,e nt in that system, I hsel excited the hitter resentment of that party in Scotland, through whose influence he was re appointed to office. It was not known that Commis sioners chosen afterwards, by means of that influence., to inquire into and teport on that system which I had thus denounced, hail drawn up and presented a Report ex actly at variance with urine, and calculated not only to set aside its authority, but to involve me in the disrepute which had been cast upon it. It was not known that 1 hail dissected this adverse Report—as has been seen-- amid had made it wholly unavailable to its purpose, by proving to demonstration that no reliance was to be placed upon it. Again, nut one of the readers of those extracts, full of accusations, front yew Report, which swelled the columns of every newspaper—not one of them was aware of the relentless enmity which I hail thus drawn upon myself, and the unsleeping vengeance with which it had ever since pursued tee. 'ow Report above adverted to, of Mr. Sykes, by which my Report of 1818 was meant to be overthrown, was presetiteil to the Treasury in 1822. Fills entered on your investigations into the Stamp Depart ment in Edinburgh in the Autumn of 18'24, the year before you began your inquiry at the head office st Somerset House, hut, to tine day, your Report on the Stamp Department in Entsnuann has never been laid before Parliament, although your Reports on the office in LONDON, which did not commence till the year following (1525), are presented, printed, published, and their con tents dispersed all Over the kingdom! To what are the public to ascribe this keeping back of a Report which ought, in the order of things, to have appeared at least twelve months ago? 'lite non-appearance of it is the more important, because the system to which it related was one entire mass of abuse, and required that not an hour should be lost in rescuing the Revenue from the heavy losses it had ID long borne, and which called ur gently, anal with imploring voice, for remedy. The lamentable state of disorder which prevailed in the Stamp Department in Scotland may be collected from what has alreadylappeared. But I will not rest the proof of it on any written statement or report made by me. I will appeal to evidence which cannot err. Mr. Bremner was suspended in October, 1818, and Mr. Renny, who, at my instance, hail been just before made by the Treasury Solicitor to the Legacy Department, was directed to act, as interim Solicitor, which he did, and continued to do, until the reinstatement of Mr. Bremner in 1819. - Let us now compare the difference in the receipt of the Revenue, during the corresponding six months of the years 1618 and 19, from January to June inclusive, under only six horde of duty. Every other head of duty was improved, but I will confine myself to these. Duties in Scotland. From Jan. to June, I 10111.

The space to which 1 vat li mited dots not allow me to go further into detail ; I can give only the more striking facts. The conclusions to which they lead are on the surface. I advert next to the benefit which accrued to the public, by removing the Solicitorship of the Legacy Duty from the collection of Mr. Bremner, in whom it had been hitherto vested, and forming it into a separate office, under the ma nagement of Mr. Ronny. The following comparison of this duty, for the three years immediately preceding the year 1819, and the three subsequent years inclusive)' will sufficiently exemplify the stivantage whic resulted from it : Amount of beret .Duty paid in I, . - £17,133 1 7 Scotland in 1010 - .1 1 81 7 - . . 26,391 11 o' . 1816 - - - . 281011 I 0 1619 - . . . 49,764 1 2 14120 - - . - 62.872 0 2 1821 . - - . 58,828 12 5 1822 - . - . 63,624 14 10 Continuing the annual receipt of this duty up to the close of last year, it stands thus : In the year 1823 - - 359 19 9 1 .C5O. lilt - - . - 61,370 10 II 13r..5 - . . - 64,805 13 9 As this isribranch of duty which can have thus annually atigtnented only in consequence of the . increased diligence and fidelity employed by Mr. Iteuny in the collection of it, the deficient amount of it while in the hands of Mr. Bremner may be obviously accounted for. Now, Sir, after what is here stated—after all that has been stated in my former letter, and stated upon evidence which you cannot contravert—after calling to mind the appallitia. but literally correct, description of the Stam p . office and the Stamp-oft - ken in Scotland, which is detailed in my correspondence with the late Mr. Ilindley (bearing in mind the fact of Mr. Bremner's restoration to office, by which all the earnest endeavours which had been made to rectify the hideous abuses which had so long prevailed in the Stamp department in that quarter of the kingdom bad been baffled, and the interest of the and the exer tions of the Board of Stams qually act at nought)—let us turn once again to the staternent which, deliberately, and oil oath, von have laid before Parliament, y and the Lords ad in which ou Wei. . rt'ea u s p u t rY and n incorrigible function.

We believe that the account was an exaggerated and et-parte statement, made for the purpose of itkiuring Mr. Warren in the estimation of the parishioners of St. Clement's Danes, whom he is now canvassing for the situation of Seaton for that parish. Mr. Warren not having heard a word on the subject be fore it appeared in our Journal on Monday, attended on . that day at Bow-street, when Mr. Halls requested, before S.

Accidents would happen now, an they had constantly hampered, v tilt loss of life, before any ettlet were entitled on near the old bridge. The complaints had been attended to, and he was not aware that any new grounda could be furnished to any Committee before whom the peti• ion might be Pent Mr examination. There being. however. something like a reflection cast by the Report upon ,Messrs. Joh& and hanks, he thought it advisable that the matter should be referred to the Bridgethouae Committee.

Mr. Jos us said they had-asitrelial before the hard *fryer: in the Mansion-flouee, upon an invitation front the Bridge House Committee. to point out in what other mode the works Could be carried on, or in what way eiteosnotoelation couldthe given to them, but they failed in doing any thing. The petition, which was ultimately referred to a committee. NEW CITY COURT OF REQUESTS. Mr. Bice brotighe up a Report from the Improvement Com. moire, to whom it was referred to examine what or whether any improvement could be matte in the New City Court of Requests, which was built under the superintendence of Mr. Montague. Who also built the City new Course of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Old Rader. Thelteport detailed various niterations which the ComMittte con ceived might be matte, to get rid of the echo which prevented per sons being heard in the large room where the Oommisaianers sat to administer justice. Mr. BLEADON complained, that not merely was the room in question badly constructed, but the whole place war bit sly ar ranged ; there was little accommodation to theComminsionera, much less 19 the suitors. The public had been put to an enormous expense, and a atnpentlous house had been built; bat such way its deficiency of accommodation, that there were no distinct mune where money wait to be paid 'and received ; the whole was huddled together. Ile moved, as an amendment, that it should be referred back to the Committee to examine what improvements could be made in the arrangement of the whole building. The motion wan carvied. lIEPRESENTATION OF TIM CITY IN COMMON COUNCIL. THE IC: This publi.bi lancertil Fri;nd, was, h publhihed tree.: of wry. ininierati log In ease ; Pendant the jinn t therefore,b y thes train of executi the J' seem and Mr. Core brought up the Report from the General Purpose Committee, to which it had been referred to inquire and report on the Petition of the Inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate With out, who complained that they were inadequately represented in that Court, and prayed that the number of their Representatives might be increased tram four to eight. The Report stated, that thy Committee hal examined evidence on the subject. and bad taken the opinions of the law Officers. -- It Was declared b the l a ver; that the Court had ne power to disfranchiseany of the Wards in the City, or to diminish the number of their Representatives, though it was competent for the Court to add 14 new Alembers to their present number. The Committee were, however, of opinion, that it was expedient to give the addition prayed for, as they had learnt that the present state of the Ward Representation in that Court was found practically inadequate, or productive of injury. Mr. STEVENS, of Bishopsgate-street, then KIM and- said, he held in his hand a petition from as persevering a body of men ng any in this city, or in the kingdom. They were the Committee of tha inhabitants of the Ward of Crippleote Without, who were appointed to watch the proceedings at this Court on this great municipal question. They were a holly of men who-went hand ne hand with nun Court in all its petitions to the House of Commons tor Reform of Parliament; and at the same time that theynese. lauded for Reform in the generalGovemnient of the counts did astt anguggenanity of testifyigg th eir sfilartfil wenn , * if IMMO* ritifi. itft . . ddratno, y r dingenth exertipg theineenes to . .

The celebrated Wilke, when some one threatened to take the sense of the Corporation on one of his measures, replied, " Well, do you take the sense, and I will take the nonsense, and beat you ten to one." (Laughter.) This might have been put for mer ly, but be relied on the sense of the Court to grant the prayer of the petition, which he now requested might be read. Alderman WAITHMAY saki he could add little to the weight of the arguments contained in the excellent speech of the gentleman who had brought froward the Petition, and he hoped the netnews of the Court would not be allowed so far to prevail, as to repulse its prayer. They were bound to accede to it, or or ever to Am their mouths on the subject of Parliamentary Reform.

Mr. Timperon had been for many years a West India mer chant of the first respectabiiity, abd at first corded on business under the firm of Timperm, l.itt, and Hirrisott. About the year 1705, the defendant went into their house in the capacity of a clerk. at a low sultry. After he had been there some time,he became assiduous, diligent, and active in his duties; he was observed to hale talents peculiarly fit ed to the business or tke hciuse, and in consequence, his lialatif was increased to Val. per annum. Hi thui continued until 1800 or 1801. when Mr. Jonathon Has:Wu quitted the firm leasing Mr. Litt, who lived at Liverpool, and. Mr. Timperon, who lived near St.Albaris, the teulainingtartnen. Mr. Timperon thinking the defendant a person who t probablyle lit to become a partner at a future period, determ ined to give hint an increased interest in the affairs of the house. It was determined aecortllngly that he shbuld have a salary of 6001. a year, and be allowed to sign the name of the house; thus having the weight and influence of appearing to be a partner, though he wee nut to be so actually. It was also promised. to him, that he should become a partner when Mr. Timpeion's nephew came of age, and was able to detetutine what hne of life he should adopt. That period 41d not antic until about the year 1811, and curing the interval which elapsed it wets observed by Mr. Timperon ' with pain and anxiety, that Mr, Clark had made use of the power he poisiosed to write the name of the house, for the porpoise of overdrawing his salary.

Matters continued upon this footing until the year 1814, when this . agreement espied, and a fresh one was executed , containing a 10111113 r clause to the feemer one. In 1822, after a season of upside/able prosperity, the West India trade dropped, and Mr. Timperon, finding that the house could not afford to pay to Mr. Clark so high a salary, per posed to him to reduce the one thousand pounds a-year to h is NA gins' salary of NM This was resisted by Mr. Clark, but in a letter of remonstrance he %%T o d his wi ll ingness to submit to the reduction if Mr. -mann t •bt it absollitel y wards, however, 'he redact n ' so violent 7 that in force the s mine the connexion. left the premises : veral letters peen Mr. Timperon, estate, to wM alluded to who was a I died in the T.'s house I of laving enmpound death was lei'a sari the funds Invested a the whole however,' got hold o ccry against 0. and persuaded prlated to t , upwind, of , piton, which or money's - Alt.
