regulations created. It was, however, but justice to say, that the allotment system had given the utmost satisfaction ►o the minds of the seamen.— Hear, hear.) —It prevented their families from hecomiug burdensome to their respective parishes, and was most useful in various points of view. If the Legislature would remove these two excellent Acts, such a measure would bring back the office exactly to what it was in 1796, but it would also, fie wo well coniinced, be productive of con,ider ati!e m'schief. The next held was that of Dock here the Resolutions set forth— he slim voted for Dock-Yards at home, 111 the year 1795, heinz the wow! year of war.... ‘25,351 is the year lal3, brut: the tenth year of war..... 212,142 Is the year 1819, being the fourth year of peace.. 225,000 This was a very frightful contrast, and calculated to disturb and alarm the public mind. It could, however, be satisfactorily explained bee reference to the estimates from a hich the Hum Baronet derived his information. If the Hon. Baronet examined the estimate of 1796, he would find that very few persons were introduced there—hut at pre,eut every creature connected with the clock-cards was men. honed, with his salary ; therefore to compare the estimates of the two periods with each other was in correct. For some years before the year 1795, the NMI annually charged was between 9.5 and 26,000/. In that year there was an addition of 6,1881. in con ,etpleace of provieion being made in the estimate for the salarie% of ollicera and clerk, of the yard, which had been previously defrayed by fee's and roquisites, which were discountenanced by the recommendation of that House. In 1808, it e Commissioners of Naval Inquiry directed that it:o quarter-men of the yard. who had formerly been placed on the books, should be introduced amongst the estimates, which made them appear Lager than they had previously been, although, in reality, the expense was not greater :hail before. The quarter-men. who were employed to make out accounts of the work performed. were 'laid in proportion to the quantity of work that was dm ne. and had therefore an interest not only to cheat for themselves, but for every proton employed iii the yard. By giving them fixed salaries, and 'them!: them amongst the estimate., a large saving was effected. In 1808, an additional expense was loco rreel, ms account of the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth. From 1809 to 1816. various addi toe. were made In the establishment, on the sug gesitoo or the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry. oancilooeil by that (louse. A timber-master and a ilia-ier.rileasurer were appointed. whose labours produced an excellent effect. as they completely l eiter/aril frond, with respect to the use made of tim! , er, or as to the amount of work performed. In 1796, the estimate contained only the chief offi cers of the yard, consisting of , 247—but now that all the individuals employed were transferred from the hocks to the estimate, the number amounted so 1,010. This was not an increase of patronage — lint it now appeared for the first time to the public eye, in consequence of a great number of persons being transferred from the books of the yard, and regularly accounted for in the estimate. As lie coitreired the Resolutions of the Hon. Baronet erre erroneous. he would, at the proper time, sub suit the following, as au Amendment:- 1-1 , That, prior to the year 1802, the estimates laid be fore Parliament contained only a small proportion of the prima, homing the several civil establishments, sad did not speed ) the full number, as at present. 2.-- That the appearance of increased expenditure in the d ff , rent offices arose from a number of persons being now placed in the estimates who were formerly paid in a ilitTereot manner—from the extension of seversl clahlish menis, as snggested by a Committee appointed by Parha m. et— and from the new mid increased duties which grew out of the e x.ended conquest. and possessions of the Crown. a—" That an increase was made to the exprose, in con. sequence of a Axed salary being granted to certain officers, in lieu of fees and gratuities, by which they bail been pre •iously paid. 4 —" That the 47 Resolutions now moved, in which dif. ferent sums ate stated as the expense of various offices, with out pointing out the reason of the increase, are calculated to mislead the public mind, as to the actual expense is carted at the pre seat time as compared with former periods." Colonel Davies argued that there win a great and Nutter:miry increase in the expense of the scar department, at present, as compared with what it was iii 1796. Mr. F. Dount.ts sold, if the Hon. Baronet had been mistaken, as wu4 asserted, in some slight points, it ought not to be forgotten that he was de prived of official information—that he was Obliged to act on such casual information as circtimatences enabled hien to procure. He, however, would not cotoider whether the Hon. Baronet had or had not, committed some errors. The true question was, whe ther he had not stated some facts, which the Gentle men opposite. with alp their information, could not deny ? l le thought his Honourable Friend (to whom, however, lie conceived great credit was due) had committed all error, in not marking, with sufficient distinctness, the different periods at which he compared these establishments. He should have stated, that, in the year 1796, the navy cost so much, when the national debt was 200,000,000/. —anti, in 1819, the expense amounted to so much, the national debt being at that time 800,000,000/. L'eay.)—This was the true way of looking at the question. should consider the situation in which the country was placed, when they were obliged, its time of peace, to have recourse to a inea.ure which that House had always con demned—amid when taxes were imposed on a people worn down and exhausted by a sconteet of iittpavolleled duration. lie conceived that iio ease had beeti made out against his I lots. Friend. The Comptroller of the Navy (Sir B. Nlarliii) had applied I cell to the expenses of tlun department with %%Lich lie was more immediately connected. lle('timid that the expense of the establishment, at the first period selected by the Holt. Baronet, was 49,61)01. and that it was at present 115,000/. (low did he account for the difference ? He stated that at present certain additional duties had devolved on the department. One of thew arose from the Act which allowed seamen to allot part of their pay fur the mainicoince of their families. He believed the letters w:ncli this duty required were mere letters of form, MII4I might be intrusted to any clerk. Another part of this additional duty was, the payment of offi cers quarterly, instead of yearly. These two extra labours required three additional clerks---and surely it would not be argued that this increase of assistance accounted for the difference between 49,000/. and 115,0091. The former was the charge in a time of war. alieu 100,000 sailors were employed—the lat ter in a time of peace, when there were only 19,000 sailors in the service.--(Hear, hear:)—The danger of the country was lit fi f ,aticial danger, and the House mutt force itself to adopt, au eco nomy, which, under other circumstances, would perhaps be inconvenient. Many of the Reimlo nous, which celled for retrenchment. were founded on the recommendation of the. Committee of Fi nance. Ministers, however, appeared. to be willing to adopt those recomenemlatioiw, only when they authorised the continuance of expense—they did not attend to them when they were favourable to economy. Mr. It. Waft') said a few words in support of the economical arrangements that had been made in the Ordnance Department. Mr. C. HUTCHiSSON agreed entirely in the prin. elide of the Resolutions—aod was convinced, that, if important reductions were not speedily made in the public expenditure, the country could not go on prosperously. Ile had seen, with considerable plea sare, several of the attempts made by the R. ht ll. m . Gentleman (Mr. Vansittart) to ecotiosnise. They ought, however, to have been on a much larger scale. His efforts were, in fact, pigmy. when they ought to have been gigantic. If he had Iltija died the Finance Reports of the last mind present Session, lie must have perceived that it was possible to make very large savings. IVlien Gentlemen op. foliate complained of the incorrectness of the Reim lotions proposed by individuals at the side of the House from which he spoke, they should recol lect, that their information could only come from Ministers, and certainly they were rather slow in imparting it. There were two points, wish respect to which it was evident a very considerable decrease of expense might be effected. The first was, the Auditor's Office at Lisbon, an estaldisliment to which he had called the attention of the Honor, 011 a former evening. He believed, if the Right Hoe. Gentleman would lay before the Rime the pope% s for which be had moved, it would be found, that that establishment. though kept up at a large expense, was unnecessary. With respect to the establishment at St. Helm, he was of opinion that the expense which it at present in curred might he reduced. The Hon. kleatber for Aberdeen (Nlr. Hume) had moved for the an nual suns expender' on that station, which he had meows to believe was enormous. He hid seen accounts which rated the expense of the noel and military force, &c. employed an the Wand. at .up. wards of 500,00111. annually. Reing convinced that considerable retrenchments might be made in these and various other establishments, he could not but agree in the Resolutions of the Honour +hie Baronet. for which he meant to vote. With respect to the expenditure. on ac count or St. Helena, he begged to call the parti either attention of the House to it—amd sorry he was. that that expenditure was one which involved the honour and character of this country. He did not wish to say any thing that would create angry dis emtion iu that House—hut lie moat slate, that lie lied seen accounts, to which, though not official, he was bound, in tome degree, to give credit, which set down the expenditure as enormous. It was his duty, standing its that House as a public man, to examine into that expenditure—and he was bound to declare, after what he bad read, which was in print, and had never been contradicted by his Majesty's Government, that the character of this country was greatly involved in the full refu tation of what bad gone abroad, or. if it could not be refuted. in affording the complaining individual redress. lie would not agitate the question of our right to keep an illustrious individual—he knew not what to call hint—the late Emperor of France—in prison, because it had already been decided by au Act of Parliament. Ile hid formed an opinion, a decided one, against the policy of the measure, but oil that point he should say nothing. He felt it Ilia duty, however, to state to the Right Hon. Gentlemen, who perhaps had not read the publica tions lie alluded to, that they stated facts, which, if true, were nearly connected with the character of this country. He should like to know, what policy of Government. or what principle in the Consti tution of England, could at tiny time, but par ticularly in a time of peace, justify Great Britain in becoming the gaoler of any indivi dual, to answer the views and objects of other States? Ile said the views of other States, because no man could contend, that the plan was adopted for the defence of this empire. If by letting Napoleon loose im Europe, any danger of rein-wed hostilities could fairly be entertained, lie would he the last man to ask for his liberation. But, whim lie was convinced, as completely us he was of his existence, that. its no part of Europe, not even in the centre of France, would lie he able to find adherents, he could not see the necessity of his detention. While the King of France unit the constituted authorities acted as they were now acting, enlarging the liberties of the people, and cmilirmilig the Constitution—the people of that country would not he anxious for a change, as some suspicious tern. per; were prone to imagine. But, if the contrary were the case, where, lie asked. was the principle to be footed in English law, or where the policy in the Goverimient of England, which declared, that, to preserve the peace of France, they had a right to coutitine Napoleon in that bondage iii which he was at present kept ? He wished hot to agitate this question—but he appealed to the Right Him. Gen tleman (%Ir. A'stisittart), as a good and cumin's sionate man, and he believed he was worthy of that character, whether the complaints to which he had adverted were not worthy of investigation. Sup pose time policy, which he reprobated and detested was completely decided, still, surely, this great, and tn.glity, and religious country, ought to see that this unhappy prisoner, or any other prisoner, confined under similar circumstances, ass sup plied with every thing 'Witting his sit uation. If the Rigid Honourable Gentleman saw the publication which he (Mr. Hutchinson) had read, in which it was alleged that Napoleon suffered very great privations, was it not his duty to cause the circuinstalices to be investigated, and, if they were true, to utter the system ? Ought he tot to direct that this individual should receive due attention, and be treated with proper decorum, that he might, as fir as pnasible, forget his fallen si tuation 1 He felt that this was a subject of great delicacy, aud he wished that he could treat it as it deserved. He had said thus much from a con scieittiour feeling, which induced him to stand for ward in belssitor a much-insulted, oppressed, and fallen iudivided—as well as to rescue the character . • • of the country from the obloquy tint wts east Upiti it by certain poblications which liati fallen into his hands. If Ministers did not adopt assoPs measures he .fore the next meeting of Parlisinebt to remedy the to vonve.iiences to which Napoleon was exposed, 1114 'Y would nut discharge their duty to•sards that fallen individual, neither essislil they act in • way consist ent with the honour of their country. A wriiical gentleman 01r. O'Meara), whose name would be handed down to posterity with honour, for the generous part he acted towards this v.ctiin—this op preyed individual—had, it appeared, been removed from the i.sland, at the very period when Napolessti most required Isis aid. 1t wits not difficult for Mi nisters to learn whether the comp!aint of privations were true Or not—and, if they wets', the subject ought to be maturely considered during the recess. Five hundred thousand pounds. more or less, might he saved—money not only laid out unnecessarily, hut disgracefully. If it were determined that Napoleon shoul d continue a *tote prisoner, he Mal sure the public would begrudge tio expense which his support, in a manner commensurate with his rank, might require. In that case, he ought to be removed to a salubrious clittinte, and not confined to one that was proverbially bad. Ile was by no means ashamed of having made these few obrsersa lions on a. case which combined great individual affliction with a most extravagant and unnecessary expenditure. Sir I. COFFIN pronounced R panegyric on the manner in winch the.inival deportment it at present conducted. Sir B. -MARTIN explained. The CHANCRLLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Honourable Gentleman who had recently spoken on the other side, had introduced a great deal of novelty into the present questio•i, by bringing before the House the policy of keeping Napo leon as a prisoner, as well as by descanting oti the expense of the St. Helena station. fie be lieved, howev e r, that the Hon. Gentleman's infor mation was erroneous, with reference to the charge of the establishment. The expense, in the first instance, was defrayed by the East India Coin- Paul, and afterwards was adjusted between them and the Govern:neut. He, however, never heard that any tutu at all a;►proaching 500,000/. nor even the one-fourth part of it, was the munuel expenditure. The last eventuate which lie hail Peels set forth a chaii,,, on the part of the East India Company, of 300,000/. for three years. There were some small item* to be added to this, which were, in the first instance, paid by the pub lic. The sum the Hon. Gentlemen heel named was entirely a roog. The Hight lion. Gentleman then proceeded to argue that the Resolutions !be fore the House were totally erroneous, which lie conceived to be a sufficient reason for his 'Peeling thesis with a decided negative.—( Hear, beer.) — At this late period of the Session, the Hon. Baronet could hardly suppose that the House would agree with such general statement* as were comprised iii many of them. It would be better, therefore, if the Hon. Baronet would reconsider them, and bring them forward in an ;emended shape early in the next Session. But the House hail superseded the necessity of any such Resolutions, by the pledge which had been given, by a specific Resolution, to pursue a course of economy—and whatever some Gentlemen might think, that Resolution was Out a dead letter. That Resolution set forth" that a minute examination of the several departments of Govern ment shall immediately take place, for the purpose of making every possible retrenchment that can be t fleeted, without detriment to the public service." So little was Government disposed to shrink from this part of their duty, that the investigation had already commeticed, and the divisions of the in quiry had beets fixed and settled, with a view to the acquirement of the 10051 accurate information. But while, on the one hand, lie called on the Home nut to be too sanguine in their hopes of extensive retrenclinienr, he would not, on the other, discourage the iciest that the result of the examination would be a certain degree of sieving. Thinking that no good elfect could be produced by these Resolutions. lie would presently move " That the other orders of the day be now read." ' One of the branches of the public service, he meant the Customs, the expense of collecting which, at present, the 1101:. Baronet bed compared with the expense at a former period, called for an observation or two. It should be remit keel, that, until of late years, the Customs department, like many others, was paid by fees and gratuities. The cenbequence was, that, with a small nominal ex pense of collection, the reel expense was consolers lily more, at that time, than it was at present. The whole expense now came under the public view, which it formerly did not. Not sully the sale ries of acting officers were introduced in the estimates, but considerable charges, being compen sations for the salaries of offices that had been aledivlied, were also included in them. These would, of course, be diminished, as the owners of the existing interests died. The Right Hon. Gentle- Min was then about to move " that the other orders of the day be new read," when he dis covered that there were no other orders of the day—he therefore moved " That the farther con sideration of these Resolutions be adjourned to this day three months." Mr. Goalies,' supported the Resolutions. Sir 11. PARNELL observed, that, taking together rill that had been said by Gentlemea opposite, he did hut feel that he had any right to submit to the assertion made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that these Resolutions were totally erroneous.— Comparing those items, said to be incorrect, with those to which no objection had been made, it would be found, that the number of cases in which error was alleged was exceedingly ►mall. After repeating a variety of details, as they were stated in Ins Resolutions, the Hon. Baronet gave notice, that so convinced was lie of the correctiiess of those details, and of the absolute necessity of making some reductions in the general expenditure of the country, he should early to the next Session bring the subject before the House, not its the pre sent collective form, but by thatinct and separate umeions. Lord PALMERSTON hoped he would be permitted to say a few words iii explanation, as the War- Office had been one of the principal points assailed by the Hon. Gentlemen on the opposite side. He de clared. its allusion to what had fellen from an Hon. Member. that he was not C011166011$ that his manner had beets smiling and triumphant. but he felt that he had shevin stiatiy inaccuticifr in the 114 n.

The exertions olltthe several offices in making up the accounts had been very great, and so far wiry the statement from being correct, that the accounts had not been settled be yond the year 1814, that, in point of fact. those for ISIS were regularly made up. He observed, that from tiie muission of the lion. G en tl e men opposite iu not moving for the production of spe: 4 fic sicconnts. and from contenting themselves with such general information as they could glean from Reports, their statetuents had necessarily been involved in error. Colonel DAVIES spoke a few north in explain'. hi answer to a question from • Member, it was stated by Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, that every u l. lowanee which was given to the officers of the army would also be affordeti to those of the navy. NIT. C. HUTCHINSON. in explanation, said.whea ther the expenses at St. Helena were millions or farthings, it made no difference in the principle which lie had combated, and lie would, under every circumstance, condemn the policy of the Ca binet for the cruel and nu:ward-of treatment of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Resolutions were then read from the Chair, and the amendment he ing put, it was carried in the affirmative without a division. THE STOREKEEPER-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT. Mr. HUME moved the Order of the Day fur re suming the adjourned di bate on the Storekeeper. General's Department. This being done, the Honourable Member was proceeding to Address the Home, when Sir JOHN NIAIIJORIBANKS (as we understood) de. sired that the House be counted.

In proposing this phi. for thee adoption of the House, the CHANCELLort of the EXCHEQUER drew a incline of the htsiniatit fertility of the soil, and of the delightful salw brity of the climate, which we believe to be by no means exaggerated, and it presents • r fair a prospect of happiness, that no doubt can he entertained but that the otter will he gladly accepted by thousand+ of our stariing manu facturers.

We look upon the Cape of Good Hope as well chosen, both as the choice is likely to affect the happiness of the poor emigrant, and the advantage of the parent State ; in particular it is far preferable to Canada, for it is well known that of those alto have hitherto been sent there at the expense of this Government, a very large portion have since sets tled within the United States.—For the details of the present plan we refer to the speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHCQUER.

Some swindlers wishing to take advantage of • melsocholy event, to abuse the goodness sod cre dulity of the public, have presented themselves at I
