As far as be had tin op portunity of examining. lie could trace tin paper from winch it appeared that the revenue col lected will carried to any public account. knew, as thht garrison was captured, that Isis MM. jesly, by Acts of Council, controlled all the (Tr rations there. When it was originally taken, in the reign of Queen Anne, sod made a free port, he believed that little ceveitue was derived from 'it. In an Order in Council. signed by the Duke of Bedford, in May, 1749.1'11;MA no mention made of r e, except what WV produced by the rent of houses, and duties on wine, rum, and tobacco. The amount did not appear from any record he had wen. bar he believed that it was comparatively tri fling. All the Orders of Council relative to Gibral tar, igen -d from 1707 to 1761, bore a very different asp- et from those of a subsequent date ; since that period I irge sums were received on account of duties ot Gibraltar, theapplication of which was very little known. The first act, after hit present Majesty's accesmon to the throne, wait, to give up all the ex isting revenue, aoplicable to the support of the splendour of the Crown, except some leases, held under the Act of Queen /toile, and in lieu thereof, a clear sum of 800,0001. a.year was granted. When his %jest?, iiscome was thus rendered definite, when it was 110 longer subject to contingencies, lie conceived any funds that might have pre viously beets drawn from Gibraltar became the pro perty of the public. But it was most certain, that, for many years past, Gibraltar was made a source of reveline to some person or other—he could not say to whom. Of late years. the Orders its Coun cil sent out there gave the most extraordinary powers. They authorised an itivestigatiou of the rights of property in Gibraltar, which had created great alarm there. He understood that a deputation of nolividnals from Gibraltar had been in London fur the last 12 months seeking redress from his Majesty's ItLuisters against two Acts of Council of 1815 and 1817. Looking to the grants of property made ' long since by General Bland and Others, he con ceived it was not correct to endeavour to shake them sine. As these Acts of Council were issued for the porpo-e of procuring nioney, and as he was iss formed 50,000/. ;ter annum was levied on the gar risim—/•• Hear," front the Chancellor of the Excite ygerj —it was right OW the subject should be in ti lured into. The Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to doubt his statement. He hoped be would ex. plain the business satisfactorily, since nothing tended so touch to quiet su-picion us a plain statement of the trutli.--filear, hear. hear.) — Of this 60,0001. he understood 18,0001. was on smalls transmitted to this country. ‘Vheit he was in Gibraltar, some year* ago, he was told that the suit *rot to Elie land was only 9 or 10,0001. an nu •Ily. Suppossog that, for the last Is years, the of 18,000/. hail been annually transmitted from to ibis country. it would form a total of 3.4,0001. with the application of which the public were unacquainted. A tax of 3 per erot. had been laid on all property in the gar rison, to defray the expense of lighting, as it was said. It was kuowu, however, that no person was allowed to go out after gun-fire without a lantern—so that it could not be well conceived why suck a tax should be imposed for the purpose of deli/tying the expense of lighting. A mune 51110 was paid for pratique, for hai boor duties, &c. : in short, every thing at Gibraltar was made the subject of a duty. When they were annually voting sums for the repairs of the garrison of Gib talsui, and it appeared that sufficient was raised there to answer every demand of that kind, it was not, he conceived, unreasonable or unfair, that the house should know how the revenue collected in the g mom' was appropriated. The Hon. *Member omit foiled by moving for " A return of the amount of revenue collected iii Gibes). vs., and the portion thereof remitted so England in each year, from 18110 to ISM inclusive, sod to what purpose the sums sit remitted have been applied." . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, lie felt it to be his duty to oppose this motion. Ex cept iu cases where the Crown applied to the for ail addition to its fonds, it was not cui toinary to give information of the nature now called tor. 011 uremia's of that kind, a statement of the di►burumrt►t of the Civil List revenue was laid before the House, in order to shew that the call for a more extended grant did not arise fioin any misapplicition or waste. He was pre psred to contend for the principle that that House had not been entrapped, and that it was not a province of Parliament to make inquiries rispecinig private revenue; at the same 'joie he did not mean to withhold the information desired by the lion. Gentleman. The Crown undoubt edly bad exercised the tight of ahplyiug the reve nues derived f►om Gibraltar, but then they had been *wird principally to the support of the Government there; to the payment of the salaries of the Governor. Deputy-Governor, and similar charges. The Hon. Geistkmaii had epillien of this as if it was a practice of late date; whereas. ou the contrary, it hail been a principle sanctioned by the usage of the State from a very early period of our history. that any surplus of revenue in such lependencies,.. above what was required for the Or- Penses of the Government, should be considered the property of the Crown. The local Government of (libretti', cost about forty thousand a year, and sur pluses from thence hiul been received by the Crowu from time to time. The revendes were chiefly de. rived from the duties on' 'hipping; these being variable, the amount of it during the late war had Fern at some times much greater than at other.. In a state of peace the surplus was Moth diminish ed. and fur the last three years it had been whin hstely nothing 7 (llmq —lint during the nineteen years preceding these. the Crown had received from thence sorpluses innonstting to seventy-two thon sand pounds. The House was now substantially in isnseession of what would be gained by agreeing to the. motion ; but at the same time lie was bound to protest, oil ancient principle, against the right of the House to demand such informal - 1 tttt , except when a royal message was conveyed to it. Colonel DaVtes expressed his stsprise at the na ture of the objection made to the motion, which ap peared to him to be one of extreme importance. It was but justice to the people to sheer them that the great saint they were called on to pay to the State, were not capable of diminution by such means as these. The Hun. Member then Com plained of many of the loral taxes, and affirmed that the manna was highly reasonable and proper. Mr. Gonoost said, it did not appear there should 'be any spiorial exemption from a general rule in favour of Gibraltar. He was sorry the (oration had been brought on in such a thin house, and he hoped if it were now rejected, the Hun. Geotle man would renew it next Session. Whether the revenue *us seven or seventy thousand pound", 111411 to him immaterial ; it was the principle for which lie contended, and lie doubted that the Crowe possessed the right it had exercised. As be was on his legs. he should take leave to say that he hail means of knowing that the mode in which the public business had been managed for the last fortnight, and particularly the way in which two importaot Bills had been hurried forward, had ex ci►ed the surprise and iudiguatiou of many persons in the country. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that the measures relating to the regulation of finance had been necessarily delayed till after the Report of the Select Com mittee on the affairs of the Bank. With respect to the rights of the Crown. if the Holt. Gentleman had looked to the Act to which he had referred, he would perceive that the Civil List revenue had been conferred iu lieu of the hereditary revenue grill. big in England ; and lie maintained that the casual sources of revenue growing up out of this country, were nut included within the lan guage or meaning of the statute. The subject was by no turas', a new one—the four and a half per cent. duties bad furnished au occasion to the greatest lawyers to bring forth their learning on the point. During the nineteen years of the war, the reveaue of the Crowu had been short of four thousand a year. Mr. Hume repled.—Gibraltar was included in the Act, front which it was to be inferred it was not understood to be an exception, as all the re venues intruded to he excepted were mentioned by name. It would scarcely have been expected that in August, 1817, au Act should have been passed by the Prince Regent that no will by a Catholic or Jew in Gibraltar should be valid. unless lie had paid ten dollars a year in taxes fur a number of veers before. He should, with the lease of the House, withdraw his motion—intending, however. 1 to bring it before the House in the rotating Session. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Mr. Aligns:tumult said, that as several great al terations had been made in the new Bill relating to insolvent Debtors in another place, Which he leered would prevent it from obtaining the sanction of the House, the consequence of whiCh, from the ad vanced state of the Session, would be, that the country might be wholly without one, unless a short Bill were passed to contiuue the existing Act in force for • short period—suppose three months after the next meeting of Parliament. lie there fore hoped the House would suffer bins to move for leave to bring in a Bill of the laist-suesitiolied de scription. The Hon. and Learned Gent!emu° then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue in force and operation three Acts of Geo. 111. re specting insolvent debtors in England. Sir G. Hsu. moved fur leave (as we understood) to bring in a similar Bill for Ireland. Alderman WOOD WHO very much surprised that the labours of the Committee should go for no thing. lie believed that the course proposed was unprecedeined, while a Bill was pending in the House of Lords. He could not willingly suffer the old Bill, with all its deformity. to remain in existence. He should feel it his duty to oppose the motion. After some further conversation between Mr. ABERCROMBY,Iemon Woott, Lord CASTI.C uxaou, soil Mr. D. W. Hatt%fair— Mr. ABERCROMBY consented to withdraw his motion, and give notice for to-morrow night, on an understanding that the Bill should then be I. lowed to go through all its stages. The motion was then withdrawn, notice given for to-morrow night, and a Committee appointed to search the Lords Journals for any proceedings lead by their Lordships respecting the Insolvent Debtors' Bell. On the motion of Sir G. 1.1it.t.. the order for the Report of the Irish linolvent Debtor.' Bill into farther consideration, was diachrriced, and a utw order made for that day three mouths.

The Order of the Day having beets read for the House visit/ into a Conitnitiee on the above Bill- Mr. BROUGHAM said he was desirous to state to the (louse the results of the digest of the returns mide lo Parliament on !lie subject of the 111111. Appeared from that, that in nitre counties of Erg land, comprising a population airicultural, cons 'mercial, and manufacturing, and from which there rare an average might he fairly formed for the whole country. the popislatihn was one million and a half, or one-sixth of the whole. The number of endowed schools within the sane 790, and the chil dren educated therein 28,000, and their revenue C. 76.500/. The number of unendnwed schools 3.1110, and the children educated liy them 92,000. The Sunday *chords were 8.50, and the children instructed at them 70,000. !Mul tiplying therefore the above outolters by six, to Obtain the quantify of eircli denomiliati 4444 ill the kingdom, it would apprar that the whole ownh-r of endowed schools to England was 'thrash 4,1100, educating 156;0n0 children—of usiesidoweil ts,6ao, educating 554,000—and of Sunday schools 5,100, effordiug means of i n ernrtioo to 420,000 The two former items Merle a total of above 700,000 persons educated at endowed and ossentiowed school-. From this sum, however, was to be mole to fairness a deduction of about 50.000 children of a very early age sent to schools kept principally by ma trons, not so Minh to be taught as to be kept out of harm'. was. He was far, however, f think iug that such institutions were not of great •hrivro. tagelo the cursory, 101 the neighbourhood 'of that House might he seen one established by the exer tions of himself and some • other Gentlemen', " The Infant Asylum." It took charge of about 150 eliddrets roin three to five years of age, and at least the children would derive from it the inesir mrble advantage of bring kept out of vice, and from forming bad habits. It had fully satisfied the sanguine expectations of those who had assisted in its foundation. In the tables published by a society at Patio for superintending the national education, it had been computed, that if a country were provided with means for educating the °he-tenth of it. whole population, it would he possessed of a sufficiency of means. Ifni the Reverend Gentleman who had conducted the returns to the House thought th a t provision was too limited, and he (Mr. Brougham) thought the means should extend nearer to the mit eighth than the one-ninth; taking it, however, at our-tenth, it appeared that our own deficiency was about one-third. The society to which he bud al luded, had established about 800 schools in France since February, 1818. If there was any defieiency in Holland, it was less than in this country. In the Pays de Vaux and Switzerland there were 550 schools; sod out of a population of 100,000, 27,000 had the means of education. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman their observed on it as a remarkable circumstance, that, comparing three or tour ilifferent counties in England, the number of persons receiving parish relief was in the inverse proportion of thaw supplied with the means of education. In France, the sources of instruction were opened to all sects equally, and persons of all religious persuasions sat down together in the same schools, An illustrious personage also acted on the same liberal and enlightened policy in this coun try, and extended the same patronage to the British and Foreign School and the National School Societies but he believed he was warrant ed in saying that these institutions had not more than 1,200 schools in activity. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, after some remarks on the state of national education in Ireland, earnestly en treated the Gentlemen who heard him, however they might °thresher differ in opinion. to apply themselves towards the advancement awl improve ment of the sources for instructing the body or the people, and adverted to a measure oil a large scale, winch (as we could collect) he proposed to intro duce in the ensuing Session. Lord CASTLEREAGH was hippy to assure the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, tilt educat• had cf late years tirade larger strides in Ireland than in soy other part of the empire; what had been doing its the northern parts or that country would, he was sure, be very gratifying to the House. The trustees of Erasmus Smith's schools had. in numerous in. stances, allotted funds for the boildisiz of inferior schools, anal providing permanent 61111111 ti for the masters. The Government had lent every assist ance to the great wool', which hail been judged irruderit and safe ; and Lis Right Honourable Friend, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland, had limited the allowances for brooding schools for the lower order. Duly by the opinions amid advice of the National S'.ciety—ftir there was a danger of exciting s jealousy and lirejuilice its the mind of the Catholic by excessive exertion. not withstanding that the avidity of the lower rooks of that religion to have their children educated was ex' reene. Mr. V. FitiGErtst6 bore testimony to the ear nest avidity of the Irish peasant to have his Idf spring educated. It wai a peculiar and interesting trait in the character of that humble class of men, that if you were desirotta of conferring the greatest favour ou any of them, it would be dune, not by Istraiowing wealth or advancement on himself, but by extending the benefits of instruction to 114 child. —(1/eor.)—He was enabled to, state, that in the year 1809. there was every disiposition in the Irish Government to diffuse the blessings of national instruction, by proViding for the education of teacher., and in every other practicable way, and that their exertions were only restrained by prudential reason.. Since that period, a model school had been established in Dublin, and hundreds of schools set up in one 'province of Ireland. The Governors of Erasmus tiMitWil schools had acted with great liberality—and the Lune absence of religious animosity, the same moderation and und oo i iii ity prevailed. as the Floss, and Learned Gentle niris had described in France.

OUTRAGES OF THE LAW ETHD.ENTS, Yesterday moralise, when the daily 'germ's *RFC lefts as usual, at the Luxembourg needling-room, ■ameroas students assembled in the Recesses for the purpose of reading aloud their eXploits of the preeeding day. The crowd increased considerably, and some seditious indica tions were remarked amidst the coafosioa. A. iadieidual exclaimed aloud, ".lta►faiteife el le lanterns !" This hor rible cry, however, was drowned amidst the general replies of indignation agsiust the daring author of ht. in the con finites, some students arrosted a man of mature age, who was peaceably walking near this hostile amenably, and denounced him to their comrade! as a police spy, on which he was instantly seised ; sad they were oa the point of precipitating him into the Basin de Limembmirg, when he was recognised as a quiet citizen, who usually re paired to that spot to take a Morning walk : on this assur ance, they desisted from their violent poems's. The civil anthorities, judging it necessary to prevent the execution of their mischievous intentions, now interfered, soil after dispersing the crowd, shut itse gates of the Luxembourg, apt set a patrole on foot. The gates were shortly afterwards -opened, so which the students again assembled to read the pipers; from titmice they adjoarned, after declaring their intention of meeting on the Place de Observation, at two o'clock. A detachment of gendarmes was seat to parade that spot ; this, however, did not prevent the mutineers from assembling at the hour deed upon. Oue of their leaden flourished a roll of paper, and called oat, " Gentlemen, lbw for the Pitiliens . 0 ' He was instantly sumbutreled by •u im mense concourse of people, not Withstaisding the active efforts of the cavalry to prevent further riotous Proceediogs. The Petition was read ; it was addressed to the Prefect of Police, soliciting him to release those of their party who had been taken into custody ; it was afterwards signed by sassy pre. sent. A second Petition, addressed to true Chamber of bepu. lies, was then reed. It contained the following remarkable sentence:—" The eyes of all Prase. are rlirSeted toward. us is this important !brute." This Petition was also signed. All this passed under the ob ion of the armed force, who were unwilliug to have recourse to met. give measures ageing* the infatuated youths. Some of the military bore threats, and even insults. They, however, pe. railed their horses quietly up and down through the assembly. MM. Boulange and Blondes, Professors of the Establish ment, repaired to the scene of tumult. The latter read the result of a recent deliberation of the Caused of the lastitn. Lion, the conclu►ion of which, apparently, conveyed an intl. ination, that the students aotild retrieve their errors; this idea was received with unanimous disapprobation. Bottling', who is much liked by the students in general, now interfered. His remonstrances, and the special promise • - - that be would act u a mediator, were attended with success, Sad towards the renting the crowd bad almost entirely dis passed. be the 30th ult. a maw, about 40 years of age, called ht the residence of M.

Madame klartainville, in the Moonset of her husband, received the individual, who announced himself as the former friend of her parents, and who, in fact, mentioned some circumstances trailing to coufirns bee in the idea that she was conversing Willi a person who was intimately acquainted with her He added, that in 1793 or 1794, Madame Martainvilles mo ther brims compelled to join her husband, who was a principal in the provision department of a division of the French army, previotialy to her departure, had made hint the depositary of • pair of pistols, which he bad ever since carefully preserved, and that be hail come to acquit his conscience of a promise be had then made to her. Madame Martainville received, without mistrust, this mysterious deposit. and put them into a drawer. Neat morning Monsieur 31artainvolle received the pistols from his wife, and took them into his study, fur the purpose of exam' g them, He held them both in his right hand; his left unfortunately covered their monies. The two pistols, which, huirever, were at half-cork, went off together. The report alarmed Madame Martaieville, who ran into the ✓unty, as did Mousieur Dente, and all who were in the bourse. The shot with which they were loaded had torn the hand of her husband to a shocking nr.nner. The foue-finger was entirely destroyed, and the two next grielrously shattered. A consultation of several professional Gentlemen was held yesterday evening: it is feared that amputation Is India pen.able. If, adds the French Editor, the mats who left the pistols has so motive for concealing himself, It is probable that on bearing of this tragical event, he *ill instantly come forward to dispel suspicious, which lie absence cannot fall to confirm: if, as we would wish to beliVe, this event is the effect of accident, it is difficelt to conceive a more astonish ing concurrence of circumstance to give it a character of the must cowardly, and the most odious of crimes.

Section, but when compared with the expenditure of the country, an improvement of even a million in a year seems scarcely a sufficient cause for pub. lic congratulation. In the Consolidated Fund there is an excess of charge over revenue of more than 2,500,0001. This deficit will, no doubt, be in a great degree oracle up by the operation o. the Act for applying the growing produce of the Cut.• solidated Fund to this purpose ; but what will b.-. come of the 3.000,0001. a year for the public se,. vice, which were promised by the CitssicEt.Lua. the EU:IIk:QM' in the early part of this Session ? An improvement, even to the extent of a million in the year, mu►t appear of comparatively but little importance, at a time when our Miui.ters have found it necessary to contract a very considerable loan, and divert from the Stoking Fund 12,000,000 h to meet the exigencies of tiie public set vice. It must also be understood that au increase in the revenue is not in itself an advantage. We are gratified at it merely as it tends to balance the revenue and the expenditure, belt the subtraction of so much capital from the active business of the country weakens in the saute, or rather a far greater proportion, its productive power., and th. minishes the sources of future revenue. With how better reason the country would be taught .to exult. if the Ministers of the Crown avowed their Mien. tion of reducing, by even one n.illiou, the public expenditure !
