if I F I end the conntry never felt the weight of the in• ' teTest omit the loans ceased in 181',. From that ri.►te their distresses commenced, snd they must ►war with them, as of their own bringing on, unless they come fotward and compel a reduction of pub lic expenditure ■nd taxation. to the lowest possible ecate,ass the only means of affording relief. It will I , e recollected by msny he now addressed, that ib •the Session of 1221, all his motions for the redac tion of the military establishments—of the high sa -I►riea—of the expense of collecting the revenue, Sm. were rejected by the House of Commons, in confidence, and on the declaration of the Minister, that every establishment was at its lowest scale, ■nd that every attention possible had been paid to the expenditure of the country. As an example of the conduct of the House of Commons, only 46 Members voted for his motion to reduce 10,000 men from an army of 81,000—and it was only sifter continued exposures of the extravagant expen diture, that the House, before prorogation, ad dressed the King to promote economy sod retrench ment in every department. It was undoubtedly most gratifying to him to eind the Ministers, who had opposed every, the smallest reduction when pro posed by him (Mr. H.), making, during the recess, reduction of 12,000 men, and ordering en inquiry into the expenditure of every department of the Government. With such success, certainly more than at first bad been anticipated, he (Mr. H.) hail reneved his labours iu the last Sesvion , and had found much more a ttention from the Ministers to h:s various recommendations. Redactions of taxes mod expenditure had indeed been made, and others were in progress ; but they were not by any means commensurate to the wants of the - icsountry. It was, he believed, by the manifestation of public opinion, sheared SO decidedly in foveae of his proceedings, by the cities of London, Hereford, Gloucester, and other places, that his means of utility had been in creaved. It was not, therefore, on his own account that the proceedings of meetings like the present were important and valuable, bat that they gave a support and consequence to the efforts of public men. As an isolated individual, with no support front • family or party, he could never have ob tinned orte-tenth of what has been effected without the public support. He highly valued the honest approbation of the meeting oat these grounds, and was proud of their support on the public ac count ; and he trusted his future conduct would me sits continuance of their good opinion. Theinfluence of public opinion, in the present state of Intelligence to the country, when called out, was great—it had been manifested powerfully in the case of the late unfortunate mod injured Queen--it had been shewu in the course of the proceedings of last Session: and with the prospect of aggravated distress to the landed interest, and little relief to any other, he • looked forward with confidence to the powerful in fluence of public opinion on the Government, if properly directed. He hoped the Whigs would now come forward and disclose what they would do for the people if they were in power—they ought to pledge themselves to what extent they would go in promoting Reform in Parliament, and in re. clueing the expenses of the country. If they would do so, they would be backed by public opinion, and they might then do all the good anticipated by their most sanguine admirers. Without such • decided line of conduct, lie was confident they would not receive that support which would aid. their wishes, if they were directed to getting into power. Ile had omitted to state that any exer tions on his part would have availed but little, if they. had not been seconded so ably and so zea lously by those Hon. Members, whose names they were familiar with, who had on all occasions stood forward in the public behalf; and whilst he en treated the Alerting to give those members the credit they so well deserved, he hoped the public would come forward and afford that effectual sup port, which most compel'the Ministers to attend to the wants and wishes of the public, and to promote economy and retrenchment in every department, as the beat mein of bringing about a real Reform in Parliament.—(Hear.)—He begged pardon for hav ing so long detained them, and for having so inade quately explained the motives of his conduct; but would conclude with again thanking the Meeting fur the honour done him on this day ; and assuring them, that his humble exertions shrmld he con tinued io the course he had hitherto, to their satis faction, pursued.—(Loud and continued plaudits.)

The Act empowers the Minis. ter to administer oaths for the swearing or affidavits.

The open ing price of the stock was 243 ; it then suddenly declined to 245 ; rose afterwards to 250, and closed at 247. We understand, however, that considerable doubts prevail among well-informed persons, whe ther the measure will really be adopted by the Court. It is said that the sums likely to be requir. ed of the Bank by Government, for the pension commutation scheme, agricultural loans, &c., will be sufficiently extensive to call into operation nearly the whole of the disposable capital ; and that, though the interest paid for its use is ut a low rate, there will be an adequate reserve fund from the gains of former years, to continue the present di►idend for some time to come.

NEW SOUTH WALES. smuct raw THE REPORT OF TIE COMMIS• SIONER OF INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. [Printed by Order of the House of Oonnesej (Continued frow our Paper of Saturday sinnight.) Nature of the Labour of Convicts is the Service of Settlers. It had been the good, or as many persons in the colony have thought, the ill-fortune of Mr. Red fern, to have been distinguished by a more than ordinary share of the notice of Governor and Mrs. Macquarrie. The proofs that they had received of his professional merits, and his activity and zeal in the performance of his public duties, confirmed the recommendations that they had received of him from Major-General Foveaux ; and they conceived that Mr. Redfern was equally fit on other grounds to be admitted to their own society, as well us to be Particularly pointed out to the notice of others. Governor Macquarrie had, at a very early period of his administration, adopted a plan of introducing into society persons who had once been convicts, and whose subsequent good conduct had, in his opinion, stoned for their past ; and he considered that this plan was both practicable and expedient. In this belief he was much confirmed by the approba tion bestowed upon . it in the Report of the Perlis. mentary Committee on Transportation, that was presented to Parliament in the year 1814. As I shall have hereafter to consider the operation of this system in its general effects upon the convicts, and on the state of society in New South Wales. I will only now observe, that I beliese the strong terms in which that approbation was conveyed, had a much more powerful influence upon Governor Mac. quarrie's subsequent conduct, than the salutary cautions contained in your Lordship's dispatch of the 3d February, 1814 ; and that if he has e►red in carrying a humane principle too far, he has done so under the belief that he was acting under the sanction of very high and respectable authority. With these impressions respecting the system, and the prepossessions in favour of the individual, Go vernor Macquarrie continued to give to Mr. Red fern, horn the earliest periods, the full benefit of his notice and society both on public and privati occasions. The effect of this measure has been precisely the reverse of the expectation entertained by the Go vernor, as well as by the Parliamentary Commit tee. His determined adherence to his system, in favour of an individual by no means popular, has raised opposition to it, not so much from objection to the principle, but from the idea that an attempt was made to force its adoption. Another cause of this failure may be fairly attributed to the injudi cious manner in which the attempt was made, and the peculiar feelings ■nd situation of the persons upon whom it was tried. • Your Lordship being already acquainted with the nature of the discussions that took place between Governor Macquarrie and the officers of the 46th regiment of fool. during their resideuce at New South Wales, upon the bubject of admitting per sons who had been convicts to their society, I will not again repeat them. _ . _ The determination with which they bad resisted all attempts to introduce Mr. Redfern to their so ciety, while they formed part of the gartison, con tinued unabated to the period of their departure. Governor Macquarrie had same reason to be lieve that he should obi find • greater degree of compliance in ober corps that succeeded them, and that they would at once adopt the opinions that had guided their predecessor., and that may be sup posed to belong to all bodies of men, careful of their honour, and keenly sensible to every attempt to sully it. The officers of the 48th regiment were well ac quainted with the discussions that had prevailed between the Governor and the 46th regiment; slid although they had not come teeny previous or pre cise determination as to the line of conduct they were to pursue, the general, but not the unanimous opinion of the officers, was against the admission of the obnoxious class to their society on any terms. Soon after the arrival of the regiment at Sydney, the officers were invited on one public and several private occasions, to the Government House, stud they were there introduced to the Rev. Mr. Fulton as one of the chaplains of the colony, and to Mr. Redfern, as one of the assistant surgeons. An effort was then made by Brigade Major Antill (wh:ch after the declarations of that officer and Go vernor Macquarrie, I am bound to consider as quite spontsneoui on his part), to introduce Mr. Redfern to the officers of the 48th regiment. Major Antill, accompanied by Mr, Redfern, called upon most of them, and with the exception of Lieutenant-Colonel Erskine, Major Muri.set, and Major Druitt, was denied admittance, under circumstances that must have been very painful to Mr. Redfern, and ought to have speedily convinc ed Major Antill of the bad effect% of his injudi cious friendship. With the above-mentioned exceptions, these visits were not returned, and uo notice of Mr. Red fern was taken by the officer, in meeting him again. From this period, the difference in the con duct of some of the officers of the regiment to wards Mr. Redfern was very marked. Lieutenant- Colonel Erskine, Major Mooisset, ■nd dl: joor Drum. toot only noticed Mr. Redfern at the Go vernor's parties, but began to be constant visitors at his house. Mr. Iredftra was also invited by Colonel &s -kint to private parties, and as his guest to the mess of the 48th regiment, and it was upon one of these occasions, that the junior Aims of the regiment abruptly quitted the table, and in a manner that evidently betrayed their objection to Mr. Redfern, who was repent, and who was known to be Lieute. nant.Coloisel Erskine'i guest. The consequence of this conduct of the junior officers, was the pro mulgation of a mess rule by Lieutenaut.Colonel Eraktne, rtqairitig that no officer should quit the table until time hest thirds sere drank. These repeated rejections of Mr. Redfern on the part of the officers of the 48th regiment, having given reason to Governor Macquarie to believe dist they hut imbibed and meant to act upon the opinions of their predecessors, he took occasion, at their first half-yearly inspection in January, 1819, to warn them against following the example of the officers of the 46th regiment, and to expren hit hope that cordiality would prevail between bin:lull' and them. lie adverted to the practice that he had observed in admitting to his society persons who had been convicts, and *hose subsequent Conduct seemed to him to ha►e atoned for their offences; and although it was not his intention or wish to force the officers to an association with that class of persons, yet b e expected that they would abstain from making proper remarks upon his practice, or the measures of his government. In arranging the invitations for the public dinner that was given by the regiment on the same day, it had been determined that it was not necessary for them to ask any other person than those who com posed the military suite of the General, sod consist. ing then only of the Brigade-Major and the Aide.; de-Camp. No invitation, therefore, was sent by the officers to Mr. Redfern, who notwithotauding was invited Lieutenant• Colonel Erskine, and appeared at table as his guest, though 111 the suite of the Go vernor. lam not aware that Mr. Referu's visits to the mess of the 48th regiment were repegted after this occasion, although he frequently appeared at the Government House afterwards, when the officer* were invited. The efforts of Governor Macquarie to introduce Mr. Redfern into general society, have not been more successful with the civil officers and inhabi tants of the Colony, a circumstance that surprised me the more, as I conceived it most probable that his professional claims and merits would have ob. tained for him a genusl admission to those families who might have excluded him upon other grounds. I do not find, however, that this was the case, and I have reason to believe, as well from personal ob eervation of Mr. Redfern's general demeanour, as from other sources of information, that his conduct in company. and even amongst those who were strangers to his situation, was both forward and sb trnsive, and betrayed an entire forgetfulness in himself of that occurrence in his life. which he will find it difficult to erase from the memory or feelings of others. It is this difficulty. varying in degree with men and with their opinions, that constitutes the formidable impediment, to the efforts of Governor Macquarie to bring back into society, not only the individual in question, but all other persons who have been once rendered infamous, either by their sentence or their crimes. lam far from blaming his motives or his attempt, though I may not approve his mea sures for giving effect to them ; but if this difficulty is felt, in obtaining the admission of such persons to society. how mach greater must it be in raising them to the functions and the honours of the magistracy, without diminishing that respect for the law and for its dispensers which it is so importaut in every country to uphold. It is not enough for this purpose that an individual should have been prosperous in trade, that he should have been skilful in surgery, or dex terous in the art of acquiring wealth and influence; his pretensions should be founded on some less equivocal and more moral basis; or on one, in the acknowledgment of which a large majority of the world will acquiesce. lostauces certainly may arise, in which such claims may be united ; but, with the exception I have before made in favour of the sacred character and functions of the Rev. Mr. Fulton. 1 do not think that Guy of the persons of this class whom Goveruor Macquarie has selected for the magistracy in New South Wales have pro fessed such pretensions ; sod I cannot help sob milting it to your Lordship•es my opinion, that these appointments were unnecessary, that they produced no good effect upon the parties themselves. and that they lowered the respect and estimation of the magistetial office.
