LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1819• The CIIIEV JUSTICE of tie Court of Kior's Beath was appointed last evening, by lette,4 patent under the great teal, to preside as speaker in the House of Lords, during the occasional alb- sence of the LORD CHANCELLOR. This appoint ment had been ;mode in consequence of the Lola CHIEF BARON being required to leave town oil the necessary duties of the present circuit. This is the second instance during the short period that has hitherto elapsed of the Session, in which a Commoner has been Coosiittited Prolocuior. or Speaker of the House of Lords, and coo enlisted in such a manner as not to affect in the slightest degree the rights of the dist'''. guialied individual first appointed to sit in time place I.f the LORD CUANctLLOR. It may there fore seem to admit of some doubt, on the return of the CHIEIr BARON to London, to which of the Learned Gentlemen the honour of presiding on the %Youlsack, doting the continuance or the 1.6a0 iudisposition, should belong. In the noose of CoMmooi the Miscellaneous Estimates were brought forward in 3 Committee of Supply by Mr. Anautgaot ; but of thee, several item ! , which appeared of a questionable nature, were withdrawn from the immediate consideration of the Committee, in consequence, we most pre sume, or the absence of Lord CAsTLERi! Even the postponement of a vote of politic money, under the present circumstatice of d o i. Irre and poverty that pervade the working part of the community, mist be coasidettd a partial ad vantage, becauSe it may draw attention to the mews of the proposition, and give time for the operatton of a Inure just and generous feeling to wards the people ; but in this instance we may he permitted to lament the event for the cause of It, for tee are sorry to state that the absence of Lord Caw:LP:BEACH was occasioned by the death of his youligest sister, Lady ELLBIINOROUGH. Without the Noble Lord's assistance on the T ry Bench, Lis colleagues evince a timidity and indecision in ac ti on hi g hly ludicrous, and seem to be either once with their own intentions, or afraid to give them utterance. IVe litre to congratulate our military friends a statement elicited lust eight from Lon! PALMER SION by Mr. LYTTELTON, respecting the oath to be ir. future required from officers o.r the half-psy list. In the oath hitherto exacted, the officer, in qualifying liiinself for receiving his half-pay, wee obliged to swear that he held no office whatever, civil or military, under the Crown ; but now lie shall be required to swear, that be does not hold office under the Crown, of which the awned salary dots wit exceed three times the amount of his half cay. Having touched on tiny subject, we cannot tinbear calling the attention of the Members of the (louse of Commons to the enormous amount 41 the half-pay and pension list of the army and teisy, which, according to Lord CASTLEREAGIe's liwincial statement in the House of Common., *, not less than four millions. With this dis p,,,,ition of die public money, we certainly are not invosed to quarrel, because it becomes a generous pi ople to acknowledge with gratitude the faithful services of their warriors ; but in our mind this sum might be safely and considensby diminished by recalling to active service, as circumstances and vacancies May permit, the half-pay officeas, who feel their present state of inaction repugnant to their habits and desires, and are anxiously looking for a return to their former corps. It was promised revealed's). in the thrum of Cistamons that such * system wool' lie pursued, yet we find its every successive Gazelle men who bare area no service, and have sin claim upon the gratitude of the country, suffered to enter the army, and rise in the profession by purchase, to the esclutiois and injury of thousands of brave fellows who have distinguished themselves nobly in every quarter of the world.— Nothing could be rtirer than to consider the officers on the half-pay of every regiment, where they have not gone out 4 , receiving the difference," as still forming part of their resin ctive corps ; and as they should of right, during the continuance of the war estahloihnient, have the advantage of every vacancy ()eel:7ring in the series above them, en let them enjoy the same advantage now, although the circismstatices of the country rendered it necessary to place them on the half-pay list. By such a mea sure, justice would be done to these meritorious individuals, the debt of gratitude would be best absolved, and the country would be rapidly and effectually relieved front the heavy louden of the half-pay and pension list, now amounting to four millions a year.
