The 'my of the dosses was double the nmonut which it was then et, in consequence of the difference in the value of commoilitire. Fourteen or fifteen colonies had hems added since then to our dominions. Most of Cie establishments had been doubled in their :onount.

There were lois rause thao 1,900 barrels a year made at pre sent. The Hon. tientlemon went into a series of comparative statements, tending to justify the items 101.0 hail heen objected to by the I .st speaker. Mr. CREEVEY objected to certain charges in the Estimates, on account of the lonian !shoots, which, he contended, ought to be mule good not of their owl) revenue. He also fo u nd in them estimates for the reparation of fortifications in the island of Barliadoeo. It had been asked. was there any rote who could furnish an argument for taking these item away ? Now he could. There was an Act pissed by the Colonial Legislature of that island, providing that the expense of these and Similar omit* should he defrayed out ofthe fotirostol-a-half per cent. duties.—(Hear, hear.)—What was there 10 do then hut to apply these funds ?—(Hear.)— But instead of repairing the fortifications with them. they gave Mr.C. Long 1.5001. out of them; Sir ff. Popham 500/. a year, and put divers other 'isms into the hands of other Gentlemen and Ladies. The lion. Gentleman then detailed the 'circumstances attending the presentment of the pe tition from the Colonists to Queen Anne, complain ilig.Of the misapplication of the funds, in question. the result of which was a message from her Majesty to Parliament, that they might in future be applied to the caostructing and repairing of fortifies tOtns, &c. Would it be slid, then, that Mr. Charles Long, and the rest of the gentlemen and lode-a quartered on these lands, should continue the tooprielors of them, soil that they should not be employed for the purpose for which they had beau originally granted, and acknowledged by the Crown to be granted ?—(Hear.)—Certain he was that %t hen such a preposition came to be understood by the public—when it became generally 'knows by the people that their representatives felted money in a Committee of Supply for the reparation of for oticatiOns in die 'Leeward islands, for which very foirpose large sums were raised out of three islands, which sums were received for their private benefit by those representatives, or their frietads and rela uons—certaito he repeated, he was that the thing would not long be endured.—(Hear.)—Hr had had some experience in this !louse on these subjects, far when in the year 1812 he had made striation eleative to the two great overgrown Tellerships of Ira Exchequer, it was almost hooted out of the liouse on all sides. Nevertheless, one of the Iwo Noble Lords in possession of these places some tithe ol . tor wrote a letter describing the greet distress of ro:iid he suffered in taking so much of the public money in that way, said stating that he would cou eider it it particular favour if lie were allowed to fengn the situation. When the Report of the Committee should be brought up, he should move thst the item relating to the repairs of the for otcations of the Leeward Islands should be left out. Mr. Creevey then argued that there was a sioiation of the Act of the 50th of the late King, It: the mode in which one of the items under the Lead of superannuation allowances had been in. troduced. Mr. 1V•111) certainly did not man to go into • discussion on the great question of the tour-and-a ha per cent. duties, and their proper application; it was a question Cu which great difference of opi nion existed ; but it had recently been debited in both Houses of Parliament, and the majorities had declared themselves of that opinion which was now acted on by the Government. But in steering clear of discussion he said distinctly that the ll ou. Gentleman (Mr. (7reevey) had proceeded on es parte statements, in coming to the conclusion he lid come to. His opinion was merely founded ou cer tain words which be had found in an Act of Psr lia- Ineut ; but lie could assure him that there were many other very material particulars to be taken into con cdersiion in deciding the question, and he (Mr. Ward) had beard the present practice defended in • very able mariner by (as we urrlnstood) Lord Grenville. Hever& therefore,sgain, that the Gen tleman's statement on the subject was an incorrect •inl garbled one. lie should say no More on the siihj-xt of the Leeward islands. The item object ed is would be open when the resolutions came to br. reported. With respect to the alleged violation of the Act 50 Gen. M. the accounts were now stated as they hat) always been since it was Mused, sod he saw. in them nothing contrary to its provi sions. lie was at • loss to find where the Act said, that the names of all who ►eceived superannuation ullowsrices should be mentioned in the estimates; the salaries we►e stated, and the class to which they lorlunged, and that he believed satisfied the direc tions of the Act. The CHANCELLOR of the Exceitiamt observed, that the Hon. Gentleman had excited his am:with- Went and 'Orin*, and 11.1 or li.in%elf very little cre dit by the manner m 1,1 had treated one of the miut 1;11«rel and l,4:1,11, -sistrutrd acts ever done in this or 1:1 city cnuntry.—(Near, bear, hear.)

Gentleman in 181.2 ; and what wms soid on that occasion would, on minds so constituted, rather have the effect of checking the gene/nos dis position afterwards manifested ; and undoubtedly it sheared much the more strougly the meznaninsity of the Noble Marquis iir overcoming the feelings of resentment snit opposition which it was calculated to inspire. —(Hear, hear.) —With resitect to the 4 1 per cent. duties. a Parliament of Willimo lIL had hound itself to apply them to the Civil List, or! for • very long period that fund hail been considered as a part of the revenues of the Crown. At all events. there could be no con+ flict of claims between the islands and the indivi duals, to whom the pensions had been granted on the fund. For more than a century it hail been known to be the fund out of which rewards had been granted by the Crown to individuals who had just claims on the gratitude of the country. There fore. if Parliament should turn this revenue into another channel, it would be necessary to satisfy the rights of these individuals from some other source. Mr. Hume replied to the statement of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, respecting the fotor-aud-a half per cent. duties. and affirmed, that its docurneuts laid before the House iu 1786 an* 179 , 1, they had been described as forming part of the public re venue from the year 1715. Mr. BenNETT said, that the first notice which he had ever been able to find of the funds in ques tion. was in a note in oiled the old volumes of the Parliamentary History, copied, he believed, from a manuscript of Mr. Montague, in which it was said that the four-arid-a-half per cent. duties should be applied to the public service. From Charles IL to the reign of King William they were so applied. There certainly were two instances of ancient date, in one of which they had been applied iu aid of the Civil Liit, and in the other paid into the Exche... quer. But these proceediogs were all nullified by what had been done in the reign of Queen Anne, when it was solemnly acknowledged by the Execu. live that their proper destination was the reparation of the fortiacations of the islands' from which they were raised. The late Duke of Gloucester had a considerable revenue charged on these fund.. At one period they became deficient, so that the pension could net be made good out of them. A message to that effect was Cent to Parliament. end by Its authority five thousand pounds, the stun deficient, was transferred to the Civil List and paid therefrom. In succeeding years the proceeds of these dories greatly increased, but was the charge be had mentioned brought back to them ? No, it was kept on the Civil List. and the Duke of Glou cester was saddled on the public. If ever there was a time when it was right to bring forward the discussion of this question, and when Parliament was called upon to approprirte the revenue of these duties to the imposer for which they had been ori ginally granted, die present was that time. fir re collected that when his Hon. Friend had brought the question of the Tellership of the Exchequer before the House, the statement of the enormous incomes Attached to these offices had excited universal ths gnat throughout the country. Lord CASTl.Eltelael did think, and he wee lure 'the feelings of the House and the country would go with him, that the mode in which the two Hon. Members had expressed themselves, in relation to the feel of the Tellerships of the Exchequer, was neither fair, candid, liberal, nor just. It would have been but justice to sac. that this fund had lapsed into the hands of the Noble Marquis (who had exhibited such unexampled disinterestedness and public spirit in sacrifiting his rights to the ne cessities of his country), from a father on whom the office had been conferred as au inadequate reward for eminent and distinguished public services. For whim lie had retired from an elevated situation in the profession, which his talents and learning had long adorned, that office had been conferred on him as a small compensation for his service'', and to make a provision for his fainiry.—filear.l—lle could not conceive any thing snore limit& to the exercise of exalted public principle, than to gee two Him. Members indulging in the feelings displayed that night ; one taking to himself the merit of having contpel led a renunciation of income which was purely voletitary, and an almost unparalleled iisstonice et patriotism ; the other (as we understood the No ble Lord) making it matter of taunt mud ileCll,ll tioll that the Noble Lords had not refunded all the profits they had ever derived from the offices. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCnerse sit la prated a part of his former statement respelling the sacri fices made by the two Noble Tellers of the Re chequer. Lord MILTON observed there was one circa*. stance respecting the office held by the Noble Mar quis, to which no allusion had been made either that night or previously. It was well known theca judicial office had been held by his father, which usually enabled its holder to amass a large fortune. That office he had resigned. and it should always be remembered what the cause of the resignation was. It took place becanse he believed it necessary to the defence of the rights and liberties of Lis C 01111.• try—l Hear, Ilearj—believing that to wife a cons promise of his principles, he was obliged to separate himself from the Administration then in power.— It was upon the question of the Middlesex Election, that, differing in opinion from his colleagues, he thought he could ho longer retain the Chancellor ship.—/Hear, hear.)—The recollection of this should secure for his descendant the respect and venetatiou of his country.—/ //ear, Itear.l—After some further conversation, the resolution proposed, and the remaining ones, were carried. .18111' ESTIMATES. Lord PA LMERSTO N then rose to resume the sub ject of the Army I . ..tini.iter, and commenced by describing the charg e of the War-Of fi ce in the pre sent year, compared with the sear 1814, the last of th e war. In thar year the charge of the current purl of the %Var-Office was something above fifty. six thousand pounds; the charge bn the same account for the year 1830, was about 36,8001. of the remaining sum, 9,33 M. was altogether wed and discontinued, and ten thousand pounds was transferred to the department of the wear business, of *lnch there had been s great accuMu letian *bee be entered in office. From that time, the year 1811, till the present, the *hole of the accounts in the office arnout.led IA 1,30. or which Only thirty-six remained unsettledow-(//ear.)--- The effect of the addition mode to the arrear de partment more than repaid annually the whole ex pense of the War Of f ice. Under the 6" of hos pital expenses there was en increase this year. corm. pare(' with the last, of 9,766/. of which Goon/. was required for medicines; the remainiog 3,766/. for various incidental expenses. Uader the latter head the ophthalmic 'unpile' was incluiled.the charge for which was 2,100/. There were 100 patients treated in it, and the whole expense of etch emistrally was but et/. With regard to the effects of that establish merit, he should only say, that experieneeted fully roadirmed the opinion he hail before expressed on the subject, and that it had been attended with every benefit expected from it. The totilintoinst Of the toluisteer corps in England for the not year was twenty-five thoitaind infinity andt4bur Owosso(' cavalry. The whole force in Irefatid was infantry, mid amottnted at preteitt tombola twenty !hominid. In the Military Collett. there was • diminution of charge of about 3,04101. The ieuior department et Farnham was shortly to be removed to Sandhurst, which would cause a great isviag mid the officers nllowed to study at the colkge *se iu future to undergo is more .tract eximunatioo; 1n the army pay of General Officer,. there was an increase of 3,1111. in Consequence of the reduction of g` merits. In the article of garrisons there itesiat in crease of 979/. in contespreuce of transferring the charge of certain garrisons in North America from the Ordnance to the Army Estimates. In the half-pay there was an increase of 49,8071. After describing the variations rat other departments, the Noble Lord stated that of the outspresioners of Chelsea and Kilmaiiiharn, when summoned to attend in consequence of the late changes in the army, 1,863 only absented themselves. A great number hid Dent excuse, which had been found to be sof& lent. The whole ournber of those from England and Intend deemed fit fur service, upon examination, was 12,30.5, of which 3,314 were ex cused on a second examination. leaving 8,991 men proper for service, who expressed themselves very thankful for the additioual advanteges of bring placed on service. Upon a general oomputation there was as actual inert-Ilse of übout 11,000 Men, the actual increase of charge being only 424,000/. And were it not that those events had occurred which had caused the organisation of the veteran battalions as a necessary measure of security, there would have been • saving of 68,000/.. as compered with the year before. After some further remarks, the Noble Lord moved the first Resolution for maintaining 91,434 men, rank and tile, for service at home and abroad (excepting the regiments employed in the territorial possessions of the East India Company), (ruin 45th December, 1819, to 24'h December, 1820, both inclusive. Lord NUGEAT said, that the enormous increase of our military force was not justified by the cir comstances either of this country or of Europe, and expressed his intentino of calling the attentioil of the house to this s eisormous number of men propaeed, on • rehire mid more suitable occasion. Mr. F. I'ai.wea mode some objection., the exact import of which we were unable to collect, to the corps of artillery drivers. Ile contended that had the Military College been continued at Mai low, the sum which had been expended on buildings at Sandhurst would bare been sufficient to support the establishment till the present day. Mt. flume thought, that. considering the great expense of the cavalry, it was a question fur the consideration of the Committee how far the number of troops of that descriptiou ought to be kept up. It ought to be remembered, that the estimates now in consideration formed but one-half of the military expenditure of the country : the total, including the Ordnance Department, he estimated at trot tailbone annually, and by the addition which had beep made to the militia and yeomanry, he was persuaded that a considerable reduction might tie made in the regular force. The revenues of the Colonies, toss, thou's' be brought in aid or the military force employed fur their pistre lie considered that the staff at head quarters would admit of greater reductions than any other department. Till 1814 the personal pay of the Commander in Chief ausuutited in nine guineas a dray ; hut in that year, oil account, Ise supposed, of the great increase of duly, St was increased to la 11... 9,1. a day—the increase of duty, at least, was the arg ument urged fur rails itig the salary of the S ecretary to the Com mander in Chief; but as the duty now was so considerably diminished, lie thought that • good reason why the pay should also be reduced. Seeing the Right Honourable and Levine(' Judge Advocate in his place, the Hon. Member took the opportunity of urging the same argument to 1 . on similar grounds. Ile next proceeded to com plain, that as the estimate* on Ilse table stated a deduction of 11,0006 as being defrayed front the revenues of the lonian Islands, whereas from other returns to which he alluded, it would appear that 4,6801. only was paid from those revenues; as he could not impute any attempt to delude the 'House, he moat consider the deduction so stated, must Italie been by mistake. On the next general head, the Military College, he would only observe, that as it was built. and all the expenses had been in curred, it would be a pity now to give it up; but it ought to be reduced to the lowest point of expense possible,. consistrot with the accomplishment of object. Ile argued at great length against the expense of the Staff appointments, and the number of the Professors, both whiCh he thought were con siderably greater thau there was say necessity fur. As to the Military As}ltirn, he would may make one obgesvutfuoi, and that an% that if fonds were I I established for reit' so large a ;lumber uf sib jects, they would always be found. The Ho nourable Member next adverted to the half-pay, the amount of which lie considered might be corg i siderably reduced by giving eniplopirent oil full pay when possible; and he did hope that the illus trious, individual at the head of the military esta blishments would set the example of tediretion, by auhroitung to return to the peace allonym:rip. lie felt very strongly the tier:essay of attention to the points to which lie hid adverted. hilt (lid not in tend to mos.: any amendment, or wire the House the trouble of dividing without there was a better Lope of succe.i. Cololorl DAVIES Wished to put two qbestioo. Ixi the Noble Lord : the lint wad, that as the Parolee who possessed the delusive tight of supplying more than the OrdnanCto paid, * Mectc . ine's to the army, at a charge or 60 per 'rent. was lately dead, he wished to be informed in what way the medicines were in future to be supplied ? and whether the militia in the lonian Islands .are embodied or not. lie did not • believe they were, although an Inspector of Militia was charged in the Estimates ? Lord .1111.-rou ohserved, that as the late increase to the military force of the country had not been voted by Parliement, and the preamble to the Mutiny Bill did not, as customary. stale the amount of the troops, he wished for some explana tion nit that head. Col, TRENCH (we undeystood) would not have obtruded me the House, bad he not observed that the sentiments of the humblest iodivithial. if deli vered with sincerity, were heard with attention. Ile li l a heard what hod been said against the College, hot he was COtlletli to leave that to the judgment and discretion of the Committee of Getters] ()M -eets, who were so well able to regulate the system of edtication. As to the principle of giving • suit able educet into to the officer, it could not be doubt ed but it would reader the troops more effective in the field, by having at their head, instead of raw school-boys, men accustomed to discipline and ea lightened by science. Feeling as he did the very great itraportatice of these advantages. which were to Ws tumid at S outburst, he was must anxious to pre tevve them. The gallant officer warmly eulogised the conduct of the Commander-in-Chief in the met'. fion of his important duties, and adverting to what had Tanen from the Hun. Gentleman oppovite s he paid he would not decide whether there was any ne cessity for his Royal Highness to snake the sacrifice alluded to, hot certainly with refereoce to the se lonics of Secietaries of State. which were of the same amount, he could not consider that the Commander-'!!n-Chief was overpaid. He adverted twain . to the Military College, and praised the course of study there pursued, !and particularly the at tention which was paid to grounding the young gen tlemen in the history of their own country, and the permission which was given them to read at their intervals of leisure the daily papers, mid all the best periodical publications. 1-le considered the education thus afforded as a dohs of honour and of gratitude due to those hernis win; had fallen in the service of their couutry, sod if he were not appre hensive of fatiguing the patience or the House, he could mentiou twenty itistauces of brave o ff icers dying un the field of battle, who iti their last moments were gratified by thinking, that their children would be secure of deriving the inestima ble blessings of education from their grateful country. Mr. BENNIITT rose principally to object to the Ophthalmia Establishment. fie drew his objections front a work which he held in his hand, bring a Report of certain army surgeons to the Medical Board, out the cases of fifteen men who had been examined by them after being treated according to the new practice of the ophthalmia establishment. The Hon. Member considered the vise had tient made nut against the establishment by that Report. The Noble Lord had said the practice there was both novel and successful; but tbese medical Gen tlemen, who he thought were iu this case the best judges, said the very reverse. Mr. Gometi art would not cuter into the general question of the Colonies contributing to the expense of their military establishments, but had risen prin cipally to reply to the observation of the Hon. Geo demon opposite (Mr. Hume). The 11,0001. to which he had alluded was fur the Staff of the lonian Islands, which in the year 1817 ass paid by this country, but was now deducted. Mr.BARHANI defended the Ophthalinia Establish meta, which he considered not only most beneficial, as tending to procure some alleviation of this dread. fel disorder, but also as most desirable, no the wore of economy. The Hon. Member for Shrewsbury seemed to consider the document on which lie grounded his opinions, as the result of a deli berate, unprejudiced inquiry, made by competent official persons, and thus Ise considered it as the judgment of u Board. He might call it what he pleased, but it was nothing more than the reply of one party to the stotemetit of soother. The Hon. Gentlemen could inst. be so ignorant of the subject as not to know that there had been violent disputes: the army surgeons nu the one part, and a Gentle man who said he had improved the practice in the treatment of this disease, on the other. The docu ment then to which the Hon. Gentleman referred, hail no such authority as the discussions of • Com mittee or the deldierations of • Beard, ou the contrary it had no authority at all. He had said this establishment was economical, end so he could prove it was. The Honourable Gentleman here entered into a calculation of the value of the pensions granted to persons discharged from the army hospitals as 'twistable, many of whom were afterwards cured by the practice of Sir William Ada Ms. and he argued that the amount of such pensions would have been saved had the patients been sent to the ophthalmia estsblishineut. He wished to know what answer could be given to the fact, that persons had been discharged as incurable from the army hospitals who were afterwards cbred. Mr. PRICE testified to his knowledge of four individuals who loud been cured by Sir William Adams's method. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON thought the llonourable hleMber for Shrewsbury should have tested the respectable individual with a little more tenderness than he hail exhibited. Ile thought it almost de. cisive of the question, the fact that of a number of persons, some having been blind four, some six, and stme ten years, many bail been re. covered, arid all more or less brio-flied. He did not attack the Army Surgeons, the Army Medical Board, or any other Board ; but he wool,' defend the individual alma he thought was the object of something very like a calitplrary. He thought the Noble Lord deserved t h e highest de. gree of credit for continuing the E.tablishitient in question; and that Sir Witham A4l.lms had dr. brrved Chit gratitirde of the country, fur his bIIC. ful edUrts to mitigate that dreadful disorder, the Ophthalmia. Mr. BENNETT Paid. he did not doubt, he could not doubt, as his lion. Flienit hail said he had devil them, that Sir William Adin►s had 'performed some cans ; but the estindree was the questions as it related to this Establishment.
