Mr. RICE TREVOR, and other Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Carmarthenshire Road Bill. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER a:Aced a question re specting the plans of the New Houses of Parliament. He wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to confine the construction of those houses to one architect, to the exclusion of all the other talented architects of the country ? The Duke of WELLINGTON replied that this House had not decided upon the plan before the Committee of the House of Commons, nor any other plan; nor would he say that Government would confine itself to any particular plan at present, or whether any other architect would be excluded from furnishing a plan of his own. The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed that so far from the Committee having adopted any plan, they had only formally acknowledged the receipt of that before them, and it was under stood that the matter was still open to competition. DISSENTERS' GRIEVANCES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a congre gation of Unitarians in Hull, which he knew consisted of very respectable persons, praying the removal of the grievances to which they were subjected, in consequence of being Dis senters from the Established Church of England. The petitioners particularly alluded to the Church and Poor rates, which included the expense of burial ground, the per formance of the marriage ceremony in the Established Church, and the want of a proper registration of births, all of which they contended ought to be made civil transactions, in which opinion he fully concurred—( Hear, hear, hear.) It was contrary to all the policy of the law, and in very bad taste, to make any difference between one class and am-ther, as related to the ceremony of marriage. If it was good to make the ceremony a religious one for one class, then it ought to be so for all ; and if a civil one for one class, the same rea son applied. The Earl of ROSEBERRY said, as the report of the Lords of SeEsion upon the Entail Bill was now on the table, he moved that it be printed.:—( Ordered.) He would take that opportunity of stating, that if it was their Lordships' pleasure, he intended to revive the Committee of last year who considered the Bill, as that, in his opinion, would be the better plan. Petition praying for protection to the Established" Church o Scotland, were presented by the Duke of ARGYLE from Mull Kilbride, &c. And by the Marquis of BUTE, from West Craig Ross, &c., and the Orkneys. The arl of FALMOUTH presented a petition from Truro, praying for the abolition of unnecessary oaths. Lord KENYON presented a petition from Ormskirk, corn plainng of agricultural distress, and praying for the repeal of the Mali" Tax. The Hous': l then adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past three o'clock. Mr. HODGES presented a petition from Birmingham re lative to the London and Birmingham Railway. Laid on the table. The Carmarthen Roads Bill was read a third time. Colonel LEITH HAY presented a petition from the mer chants, traders, and other inhabitants of Edinburgh in favour of Trinity Harbour. He considered the subject as one of great importance to the public, and therefore moved that the petition be printed for the use of Members. Motion agreed to. Mr. PALMER presented petitions from the towns of Trow bridge and Newberry, against the Great Western Railway, Bill. Major BE A UCLERK presented a petition from the Grand Junction Water Works Company, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Chelsea Works Bill. Mr. W. PATTEN. brought up the report of the Bolton and Bury Canal Bill. CANTERBURY ELECTION. The Clerk of the Crown having amended the return, Ste phen Rumbold Lushington, Esq., took the oaths and his seat as Member for Canterbury. ELECTION PETITIONS. _ The petitions presented against the returns from the follow ing places—namely, the town of Newry, the county of Mo naghan, Belfast, Bandonbridge, county of Cork, and county of Wexford, were discharged. Sir W. TREL A WNE Y presented a petition from a parish in Cornwall, praying . for an alteration in the law of last Session increasing the duty upon Spirit licenses. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. Mr. C. BRUCE said he had a petition to present from the Magistrate s, Town Council, and Burgesses of Inverness, to which he mis desirous of calling the particular attention of the House—not only 0 the body from which the petition pro ceeded, but to the -soiaall I•4.eyig, political and social, which it contained. L contained _strong expressio4 of gratitude for the notice in his Majesty's most gracious Speech, calling the atten tion of the House to the wants of the people of Scotland, as regarded religious instruction. These magistrates were the first:born offspring of the Borough-Reform B:11, and might be supposed to entertain the prevailing opinion of the people of Scotland. The Hon. Member expressed a hope that the House would act upon the suggestion contained in his Ma jesty's Speech. The Hox. MEMBER also presented similar petitions from South Waste and Inverarity in the county of Forfar. The Hon. FOX MAULE did not consider it either right, just, or proper, to call upon the public to pay for large:grants for such a purpose. Mr. GIL LON protested against the House being ;called upon to vote a large sum of money to propagate one species of education upon the overthrow of another. All the petitions presented upon the present subject had been got up at hole and corner meetings, and hawked about by Elders and others. After some observations from Mr. PRINGLE and Mr. BAR RON, the petitions were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. R. COLBORNE reported from the Rochester Elec tion Committee that Mr. Hodges was duly elected, and that neither the petition nor the opposition were frivolous or vexa tious, and' further, that the Committee had amendedthe roll by striking off the names of twenty-one persons who had voted without any qualification. Lord G. LENNOX presented a petition from the Licensed Victuallers of Battle, complaining of the high duty imposed upon Spirit licenses. Mr. GIL LON presented a petition from the hand-loom weavers of the county of Forfar, complaining of distress, and praying for the institution of Boards of Trade. One from the Provost, magistrates, and other inhabitants of Linlithgow, stating that the petitioners did not think that the reduction of the malt tax would do much good for the country, compared with the reduction of some others, and praying for the repeal of the window duty. And one from the same place in favour of the Ballot, and a shortening of the duration of Parliaments. Dr. BOWRING then rose to present the petition from Blackburn, of which he had given notice. He said it was signed by 3,000 inhabitants of that borough ; but before he opened its contents, he was anxious to state to the House that he did not address it under any feelings of irritation or wounded pride, but he felt that he owed much to the inhabitants of that town, from the noble manner in which they had acted towards him on two occasions; and he trusted they would consider he was merely repaying a portion of that debt which he owed them when he tried to put an end to those abominations which had been introduced into the last few elections—abominations which had gone to such a length as to have made the fran chise a curse to the town, in place of a boon and a blessing. —( Cheers.) At the first election, the first step taken by the Hon. Member for the town was to roll in a number of beer barrels.—( Cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh !") The Hon. Member stated that he had never seen money fail yet, and he was determined to see how far it would go then—( Cheers). — and it was over the tombs of their fathers that the beer-barrels were first broached.—( Cheers and laughter.) A clergyman of the town waited upon the Hon. Member, and prayed him so put an end to such scenes as were then going on. The Hon. Member, with tears in his eyes—(Laughter)—laid he would do all in his power to do so, but there he contented himself, and did no more. If he represented the petitioners he would be in a less proud situation than he was now, having since been returned by an independent borough in cotland, which was free from the corruption and vice exhibited in Blackburn. He went into that borough pure and independent—( Laughter,) and was freely returned by the electors. But in Blackburn, he had seen such instances of profligacy and corruption that if such proceedings were to continue, the elective franchise would only become a curse to the whole community. The Hon. Member opposite went far beyond him when he was a candidate for that borough. He pledged himself to support every kind of measure in opposition to his former opinions. He completely turned his coat. That Hon. Member has a tenant in that borough whose opinions were in accordance with his ( Dr. B.), but the Hon. Member told him that he should vote for him at his peril, and dared him to vote according to his con science and opinion. So great, so atrocious, was the corrup tion, and the vice and profligacy at that time in the bo rough, that several persons absolutely died of drunkenness, and coroners' inquests were held on the bodies to inquire into the subject.—( Laughter.) Honourable Members might laugh ; but this was, surely, too serious' a subject for laughter, and one which ought to excite very different feelings. Another elector wished to vote for him, but feared the resent ment of the Hon. Member opposite, and he (Dr. B. )•told that elector not to expose himself to the effects of the Hon. Mem ber's anger. But was it not too bad that a Member sitting in that House should thus threaten to visit with punishment the conscientious exercise of the elective franchise by an honest man ? After the writ reached the town, this gentleman had opened public houses with most liberal hands. So horrid was the system pursued that representation was made to the Hen. Member by religious persons at Manchester, as to whether he would thus corrupt public morals, and introduce vice and corruption among the constituency. Even children o f 13 or 14 were to be seen drinking tumblers of brandy and water.—( Great laughter.) Hon. Members might laugh, but they should consider whether the exercise of the fran chise should be thus connected with drunkenness and profligacy. The Honourable Gentleman himself,"when there presenta tions were made to him, did not deny that he had so interfered—(hear, hear) ; on the contrary, he considered it an ordinary case of interference, and a case in which it was very fit and proper in him to use his opulent purse in accomplishing the result that took place.—(Laughter.) He hoped, if the House valued the freedom of election, if it intended that the Members should come there by honourable, andnot dishonourable means, if it is intendedthat the intellect of the country should be represented, and not the profligacy, that the House would adopt some measure, in order to secure those constituencies which possessed that great rank upon which the well-being of the country, and the well-being of mankind depended ; and in order that the result of elections might be — a result of honesty and a result of purity. After what he had stated, it would not be wondered at that the prayer of the petition was for Vote by Ballot ; because, as the peti tioners stated, they were fully convinced by experience, that under the present system of open voting, the electors of Great Britain and Ireland were unavoidably exposed to the undue influence of family connections ; and here he would beg to ex press his regret that a near relative of the Honourable Member opposite should personally have canvassed elec tors—( Hear, hear)—that he should have raised the rents of those tenants who voted for his antagonist, and left the rents of those who voted for him just where they originally had been. He hoped the prayer of the petition would be listened to, and stated that he felt convinced the electors of Great Britain and Ireland, could never be expected to do their duty, unless the system of open voting was abolished, and the vote by ballot substituted in its place, which would at once protect the virtue and secure the independence of all honest electors. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the petition be refei red to the Intimidation Committee. The petition was then read by the Clerk. Mr. TURNER said it did not appear there was any allega tion in the petition either against him or his Hon. Colleague, and all he would say was, that if it had contained any such charge, and the Hon. Member (Mr. Baring) had thought proper to have it referred to a proper tribunal of the House, he should have been prepared to meet it in a most sa tisfactory manner.---( Cheers.) He must say that he thought the Hon. Member and his friends had not come out quite so immaculate as he himself had professed. He had never canvassed a vote ; and then what the Hon. Member had stated about a tenant of his had no foundation ? The tenant the Hon. Gentleman had alluded to, had written him (Mr. Turner) a note, stating that he had voted for Dr. Bow_ ring because he was a losing candidate, and that had he (Mr. Turner) been placed in the same situation, he would have voted for him.—( Laughter.) That was the Gentleman that he was reported to have intimidated.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) He was sorry he troubled the House with these few remarks, but he thought he was quite justified in doing so, after the manner in which the Hon. Member who had just sat down had thought proper to allude to him.—( Cheers. ) Mr. FIEL DEN said that he believed the turbulence and riot that had been created at the late contest for Blackburn originated entirely with the supporters of the Member who had presented the petition.--( Hear, hear.) He had never can vassed the Borough of Blackburn, and had never asked for a single vote, with one exception. He himself was obliged to get away for fear of personal violence.—( Hear, hear.) Ile denied the charge generally, and was convinced there was not one particle of that statement correct, which the Hon. Member had made. He was astonished to hear such an accu sation coming from such a quarter, and could not refrain from exclaiming— Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes? Mr. ABEL SMITH presented a petition from the town of Hitchin, in Bedfordshire, against the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill. Sir ANDREW ACNE W presented several petitions from places, the names of which we could not learn, in favour of the Bill for the better observance of the Lord's Day. Mr. LEES LEES presented a petition from Wells, in fa vour of the Grand Bristol Railway. Also two petitions from Wells and Westbury against the Ecclesiastical Courts' Bill. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for returns from the Court of Equity. Also three other returns, the purport of which did not reach us. Mr. OSWALD presented a petition from Aberdeen, in favour of the Church of Scotland. POOR LAWS (IRELAND). Sir RICHARD MUSGRAVE brought in a Bill for es tablishing a provision for c the Poor of Ireland.—Read a first time. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN presented a petition from a town in the !county of Limerick, in favour of the total abolition of tithes; also another from the same county, for the removal of Ministers. An HoN. MEMBER presented several petitions against the increased duty of 50 per Cent., which the Act of last session imposed upon Licensed Victuallers. Laid on the table. A number of petitions were next presented, but owieg to the confusion which prevailed in the House, it was implisible to hear one word of what they related to. DORCHESTER UNIONISTS. HON. MEMBER (we believe Colonel Gore Langton) presented a petition in favour of the Dorchester Unionists. Major BE A UCLE lt thoimht that those upfprtunate men had suffered under a law of the existence d which they were ignorant; and he therefore hoped that his Majestyis Ministers wpulci pay attention iq the subject, and do what was just, CUARITY CPMMISSIpNERS, Mr. WILKS wished to lioow vviiat course the • present Government intended to adopt respecting the renewal of the invastigatiOn into publin charities in England and Wales. Six of the largest counties in Engl4o had bee} iu~e~tigted, and six of the counties in Wales had been partially investigated. The Commission had been appointed in the beginning of last session, and, of course, there was great anxiety to learn what his Majesty's Ministers meant to do on this subject. Mr. G 0 ULBURN, at the present moment, could give no answer, but he hoped-to be able to do so in a day or two. IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. BARRON wished to know whether his Majesty's Ministers had received the Report of the Commissioners ap pointed to inquire into the state of Corporations in Ireland ? Mr. GOULBURN—The report was received only yester day evening, and it was his intention to lay it on the table as soon as possible. Mr. BARRON wished to know whether it was intended to found any measure of reform upon the report of the Com r&ssioners. Sir R. PEEL had not read the report, and it was therefore impossible for him to give any answer. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS. Mr. D. W. HARVEY wished to know when the report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would be laid on the table. He wished to ask whence it was that while it was not yet circu lated amongst the Members of that House, it had for some days back been in the hands of all the newspapers in London. He had no objection to the report being put in the posses sion of the press, but it ought to be done concurrently with its being handed to the Members of that House. Sir R. PEEL could only, say for himself, that he had no hand in sending the report to the newspapers. He could, therefore, give the Hon. Member no satisfaction whatever. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1835. IRISH CHURCH. Lord J. RUSSEL L.—l informed the Right Hon. Baronet the other day that I would this evening describe to him the outline of the motion which I intend to move on Monday next. I am not prepared to pledge myself to the words which it is my intention to submit to the House, but it is my intention to move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee for the purpose of considering the -expediency of applying any sur plus that may be found in the revenues of the Church of Ire land, and which may not be required for the spiritual wants of the Members of that Church, to the religious and moral instruc tion of all classes of the people of Ireland. ( Opposition cheers. ) Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to know, supposing . the House to agree to the proposition, and to go into Committee, whether the Noble Lord would be prepared to produce the particular plan by which he proposed to make the appropriation? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that that was a question which he felt himself not bound to answer.—( Great cheering.) When the House had resolved itself into a Committee, he should then be prepared to lay the whole particulars before it. Mr. 'FINCH wished to know whether the Noble Lord in tended to include under " all classes" the Roman Catholics of Ireland ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL either returned no answer to this question, or in so low a tone as to render it impossible to hear it in the Gallery. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Colonel EVANS, in consequence of what he had heard with reference to Wallachia and Moldavia, wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite (Mahon) whether he had any objection to lav the recognition, if any had taken place on the part of the Government, of the nationality of those States arising out of the treaty of Adrianople. Also the correspondence that had taken place between the Government of this country and Turkey, with reference to Russia. The Gallant Member thought that it was most important that Parliament should have the earliest intelligence upon so important a subject, considering the peculiar circumstances in which Ministers were placed with respect to that House.—( Cheers. ) Lord MA HON hoped that the Gallant Member would per mit him to defer giving a reply to his question, until he could ascertain whether it was consonant with his public duty to do so, and , this would also, probably, enable him to answer the Gal lant Member more satisfactorily. ARMY ESTIMATES. Mr. HE RRIE S would now call the attention of the House to a subject connected with their proceedings a few nights ago. The Hon. Member for Middlesex had proposed that the Army Estimates should be referred to a Committee up stairs, and another proposition had also been made respecting them. He, therefore, thought it right, in moving the order o the day for going into Committee on the Army Estimates, to say, that that evening was the only one on which they could possibly be entered into, as there were mat ters of importance pending, which would preclude them from having any other opportunity of doing so. On Monday night a subject of great importance was to be brought forward. If, therefore, there was any further delay in proceeding to the consideration of the Estimates, it was his duty to point out to the House, that the greatest possible disadvantage and public inconvenience might arise from such a course. He had thought it his duty to state thus much to the House, in order that there might be no misapprehension on the subject. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved the order of the day for the House going into a Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates. Mr. HUME said it was very true that every motion made on a night of Supply was to a certain degree an impediment to that vote ; and ever since he had been a Member of that House he had always found Chancellors of the Exchequer and Right Hon. Gentlemen connected with the Government most anxious to get over the Supplies with as little discussion and as little delay as possible.—( Laughter.) But it had been the rule, on many occasions, when individuals held situations in the Government in whom the House had not confidence, for the House not to be too ready to place at their disposal the public funds, without due discussion, and without an attention to those .reforms and economy which the House should look after. In theestimates, there were some votes exceedingly difficult 'to deal with—he meant so far as the number of troops was concerned. Ministers might think it necessary to maintain the various colonies. It appeared to him that this was a point settled on the recommendation of the Minister for the Colo nial Department, on what was necessary to be done. Upon his representation, a course was then recommended on the responsibility of his Majesty's advisers. He thought, how ever, it ought to be dealt with by a Committee of the whole House. He stated this in order to free himself from that practice which has hitherto been pursued, arid that prerogative of which was exercised for the public good. But the question he was about to bring before the attention of the House was whe ther they were doing that to which he had pledged himself. in effecting all the reductions they were enabled. What he thought ought to be the rule of this house was, not to vote a single farthing of the public money to his Majesty's Ministers until they had laid before the House the plan of their measures as well as their statement on the ways and means. Wi t h that view he had asked the Right Honourable Baronet to postpone the CoMmittee of supply, but he ( Sir R. Peel) had very properly said, that it was not the usual course pur sued by the House. He could not complain o f i t, as i t seeme d to be the principle of every Ministry to proceed ou this jog trot system. It seemed to be the great desire of every Adminis tration to maintain as large an establishment as it was pos sible they could. He would venture to say that every Admi nistration (and he did not mean to blame that of the Right Hon. Bart. in particular) never had nor never would ma k e re d uct i on until they were forced upon him, from wh a t h e wou ld ca ll t h e gentle compulsions from without. It might be considered an unconstitutional language, but he thought it was the legitimate interest and positive language to which the House ought to bend. If the people be of opinion that certain taxes are maintained detrimental to the public good, the representatives did but their duty in pressing upon that House to make these reductions. The course which had been pursued on this session was' to call for a vote on the Navy Estimates. he supposed, because they were the most popular, and because it was considered no 'objection would be made to them. It would be recollected, that when these estimates came on, it was past eleven o'clock, and he endeavoured to gain the con sent of the Right Hon. Bart. for a temporal-) delay. He thought the House had been a great deal led astray from the statement that there was no possibility of further reductions. It had been said that the only available sum from which further reductions could be made was 15 millions, thereby excepting the half-pay, pensions, and superannuated allowances of the various departments. He believed, however, that this portion of the public revenue, amounting to about five millions, was capable, if the Honse would only do its duty, of much further reduction. Above all, if inquiry was made into the mode in which the half-pay list had been swelled up for the last 16 years, by purchases to a large extent, without considering that every new appointment in the army and navy was:a new pension on the public, not for one year but according to the age of the person, for 16 or 18 years. He complained of the Commissions in the Guards which had been given to the Queen's pages, each of which cost the country two or three thousands pounds. He appealed to the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland, who had given such valuable and important information before the Finance Committee, or the Right Hon. Gentleman who had spoken last, whether great reductions might not have been made. The suggestions of the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland had already effected savings to a considerable amount. There were matters connected with the half pay list which he would not now more particularly allude to, but which would shortly come before the public. He would remind the House of the disclosures that had been made, in conse quence o f in formation furnished to the Secretary at War about four years ago, when the pension list had gone on rapidly increasing, and from it appeared that the non-commis stoned officers and privates had been drawing pensions, under false certifi ca t es . ( H ear , h ear , h ear .) A s i m il ar investigation now into the mode in which many officers in the army and navy had obtained their half pay, might be most advantageous to the interests of the country. We believe that the Gallant Officer, the Secretary for Ire land, could tell that 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year were saved by the inquiry of that Committee. It was proved that money was taken from the public purse by fraud and connivance ; —( Hear)—and as the public had derived so much benefit from that inquiry, he was anxious to propose a further inquiry, for the purpose of accomplishing further reductions. A com mittee properly constituted could not only recommend, but carry into effect the consolidation of the services which he proposed. By the latest returns laid en the table of the House, it appears we have burthens which could not be reduced below 28} millions, besides, there was an expenditure of 21 millions further, including three millions for the collection of the revenue; two millions for the Civil List, diplomatic ex penses, &c. ; and fourteen millions, the expense of :maintain ing the Army and Navy and other miscellaneous ( Hear, hear.) Therefore he asked the House tq bf,a, with him, while he proceeded to, show bow the Consolidation of 919 4 F rcy and grdnance could be effected, for he left the navy 9ui of the question altogether. If they too,k consi deration th e sum o f 5,700,0001., th e qxpenie of 'maintaining the army, and 1,250,000/. for the ordnance—it would make gfivelt millionsfor the army expenditure, exclusive of the yeo manry and militia. The question, then, is, can any wee., age be proposed by which the civil tep,artinents' of: ilia AMY find grdtlaceo ca,ri be consolidated, in 4rd4 to save ex posA• tie, had no beiitatiim'insaing that the services could be so consolidated, as they acted 'so constantly together, and it was a matter of suspicion to him that military men, from their experience in the public service, and their knowledge of the services in other countries, should ba so long separated. It was cisite impossible to carry on this expenditure without ob. serving economy—that strict attention to economy, unless some sup, rrior control were exercised over it.—( Filen-, hear. ) Such sentTments so unanimously pervaded the Committee up stairs, that they cat - le to the resolution that there was a great increase of the public expenditure, because no control existed to check the heads of the respective departments. Each en deavoured to keep up his own establishment, and gra duaally raised them, and continued them in spite of the authority they ought to have been regulated by.----( Hear.) If one opinion was more predominant than another in that Com mitree amongst naval officers it was this, that the Treasury only ought to do the controlling and superior power to which all the others should be subordinate, and he would say, as he saw the Hon. Baronet abont to leave the House. —[ Sir J. Graham was proceeding towards the door of the House, but on hearing this remark he took his seat, which occasioned much laughing]—he would say it because it was a credit to the Right HMI. Baronet, for no sooner did he enter upon the department to which he was appointed than he directed his attention to this subject and concentrated the whole under the authority of the Admiralty Board, by which a reduction took place, a reduction of no less than 1,300,0001. was effected in the actual expenditure, though it should be admitted that a larger portion was owing to the reduction of stores. The Hon. Baronet acted upon his own responsibility, and had effected his object—that of a re duction of expenditure and a greater efficiency of the estab lishment--and for this he deserved credit. If, therefore, there was so large a reduction as one-fourth in that department, he was sufficiently justified in advancing the statements he now made. Whether all the benefits would flow from the measure he pro posed which he expected might be a question, for he had been often told that he was too sanguine; but he was certain that no harm could ensue from arguing. Before he touched upon the Ordnance question, he would glance at the army. It ap peared that now there was a pactice in existence, compared with what was obtained in the present times—then the Secre tary at War was the officer who was responsible to that House. as well as the one who really ought to be ; but since the times of the Duke of York, whose long lease of office gave him the the oppartunity of consolidating all the power—(a laugh)-- so that now all the power was in the offich of the Comman der-in-Chief, while the Secretory at War, who was responsible, had no power. He would like to hear what his Hon. Friend's the Members for Dundee, Coventry, and Nottingham had to say upon the subject. He considered the office of Commander -in-Chief was opposed to all changes, which was the reason given for not effecting the recommendations of the Committee. The Commander-in-Chief performed the duties in a great degree of the Secretary at War. It was the opinion of same of the best officers that the Commander-in-Chief should be placed in the same situation as the Admiral of the Fleet, and should act under the responsibility of an officer en trusted by that House. He did not believe that they could ever effect those plans of economy and retrenchment which the county called for. Having stated this much, he would mention to the House the object of his motion. It was to refer the Estimates of the Army and Ord nance to a Committee up stairs—( Hear)—which should be constituted similarly to the Finance Committee, to enquire and bring before them the best evidence as to the possibility of making the alteration proposed. Tile service of the ordnanc e wss divided into two departments—the Military and the Stores—and during the last year a third had been added, namely the Commisserat department.—( Hear. ) It appeared to him, from all that had been stated, that it' the present Board of Ordnance was entirely redLc and broken up, and the whole of the establishment placed under two heads, a saving of several hundred thousand pounds would be effected. If the Artillery, Engineers, and the Pay Office of the Army were placed (as it ought to be, and was in every other country, under the Commander in-Chief, great good would be effected.--( Hear, hear. ) There would then remain nothing but the Store department, would remain for superintendence, and a Beard of Superintend ence might be formed without expense. He would now detail to the House what the duties of Paymaster of the Army were. All monies were issued through the Secretary at War, by means of his warrant. He therefore complained that the country was pnt to an average annual expense of 25,000/. and this year it amounted to 29,000/., for no purpose whatever. and from which the county derived no kind of benefit. The half-pay was paid by checks, but it was so mixed up in the agents, the Banks, and the Paymaster-Gene.: a l This was a most roundabout' and most inconvenient mode of proceeding, and very injurious to public service. He complained that the payments made to the public by Greenwood and Co. were at a charge of -1,- per cent. and that firm made a sum of 19,000/. annually by merely cashing these warrants, and paying a portion of them. ,x I C; • C 471 •4'. / d \-7 / ./ •- • C.1.0 yet it might enquire into it, and he hoped th, iltinotpiariu. would persevere in his motion, in order to / tr- - ivfiether / aldi 4 ( 4 ,10. Committee had act e d or not on precedent in 'Co mtng 49 3 S 5 v decision. „ Sir E. KN AT CHB UL L said, after what had ailkaftvie Speaker, he should be sorr y to o ff er any op i n i on upon this sub.) t ; but it appeared to him that the curse which had been pursued by the Hon. Gentleman opposite, if not an imputation, cer tainly savoured of a disrespect towards the Committee; at the same time he considered that, .the course adopted by the Committee was rather an unusual and irregular one. Colonel E VANS considered that the Committee, in refer. ring the matter back to the House, had committed a grave and serious injustice, and that they ought to have proceeded with the inquiry for which they had been appointed. Mr. HUME admitted that every inquiry argued a doubt to a certain extent, but it appeared to him to be a matter of the greatest importance that such inquiries should not only take place, but be conducted accordin ,, to the Act which provided that every. Select Committee should dispose of the questions before it by a majority of votes, which it appeared had not been done in this instance. He spoke without having the authority of the Minutes of the House before him, though he did not believe that those Minutes would alter his view of the case. Mr. W YNN contended that the Committee were not res ponsible to this House for their proceedings, any more than any other Court. They were bound by no resolution what ever to any particular opinion, and the only question was, whether the report furnished by them were justified by the nature of the evidence before them.—( Hear, hear.) In the case of the Middlesex petition, to which the Ho nourable Member had alluded, the petitioner was rated on the ground of the return, leaving it to the Member to petition on the merits of the election.—(Hear, hear.) This was as he conceived not a question on which the House could interfere ; it was a question of law, which was not for their decision, but for the decisicn of other authorities. The only course which he thought the Honourable Member was entitled to pursue, was to move for leave to bring in a bill to limit the power of future Committees. This was established by precedents in the case of Middlesex and Caernarvon, and a power would then be given to the petitioners to inquire into its merits, within fourteen days of the date of notice.—( Hear, hear.) He thought it would be highly improper to interfere with the decision to which the Committee had come, and although mistakes might be sometimes made, it would bo a minor evil to acquiesce in these decisions. Mr. FRE S H FIE L D objected to the doctrine laid down by the Hon. Member for Middlesex as being by far too exten sive in its principle. There were many cases in which such a proceeding would be most unjust and erroneous. —( Hear.) Mr. AG LIONB Y would beg to call the attention of the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster to the regulations by which Committees of this nature were guided.—( Hear.) "The Honourable Member here read an extract showing that the decision of the Committee should be final between the parties, except in certain cases which were specified, and in which cases the Committee had a clear and undoubted right to send a specific resolution to that House. The present was one of those cases, and. it was not their business to discuss the merits of tire question. The exception was, that "if any such Select Corn. mittee shall come to any other resolution than those above , specified, they shall report the same to the House, and at same time, the Chairman shall inform the House of such determina tion." It then proceeded to set forth, that " the House may concur or disagree in such resolution, and make such order thereon, as shall to it seem proper." It appeared to Una that the present case came clearly within that rule. After a few words from Mr. WYNN, Mr. S C A RL E TT declared, that after an Election Committee had made a report—that report must be, final, or the Act of Parliament upon the subject must be rtpealed.—( Hear.) By the words of the Act, Committee, who had on l y to trytl:l7ie killing of an election question of whether the Member or the petitionerwat 'Cite duly elected Member; in tb is ease they had seated the petitioner, and by the words of the Act that was final, and the House was pre. eluded from "-gain opening it. The aPEAKER then put the question which was agreed to w.:wout a division. BOROUGH OF LIECESTER. Mr. G I SBORNE rose, pursuant to notice, to move the consideration of the petition for leave to rectify a lnistake in the name of a proposed surety in the case of the Leicester boro' election. The question was whether the House would permit what he thought the law would allow it to do, namely, to en large the time for giving in the names of the proposed sureties. He had in his hand the affidavit of Thomas Parkes, the peti tioner, who stated that Samuel S. Stokes was competent and willing to be a security; that on the day after the House granted the enlarged time, he received a letter, stating that Stokes's name was Thomas andnot Sainnel. The Act of Parliament states that under the circumstances the House has power to change the names of sureties. The provision h e w i s h e d to ca ll . the attention of the Houge to was, that not permitting enlargement of time more than once, or beyond thirty days, and that no surety Can be more than once changed. They merely requested the: House to allow them to correct a clerical inadvertence into which the agent had fallen, in giving the name of Samuel instead of Thomas, and this, he thought, did not fall within the cases in which the House. had, by Act of Parliament, forbidden them to interfere. No injustice would be done by the House in granting the priver of the petition. There having been plenty of time to i , ;iquire into the sufficiency of .Thos. Stokes, he trusted the House would not deprive the petitioner of his rights for a cle: c i oa l error ; he would therefore 'novel that Mr. Parkes shoub 4 4 be called in. Mr. WYNN maintained, on the authority of the Act, that the House could not allow a change of the ';iame of the surety, as was proposed in this case. Mr. WARBURTON supported t l ae motion. Mr. LAW took the same view of the cas e as t h e Ri g h t Hon. Member for Mont g omeryshire, and, pointing out the statuable intendment of the t - ,rm name," contended that the prayer of the p e titi on soul not be acced e d t o . Sir M. W. RIDLE`; maintained that th e prov i s i ons of the Act would not be at ..111 violated by alt er i ng t h e Christian name, especially when could be shown that the mistake was at the utmost but a "...lierical error. Mr. G P ...0T E took the same view of the Act of Parliament as the Hon. Baronet the Member for Newcastle. dlr. GOUL B URN objected to the reception of the petition. After a few words from Mr. GISBORNE in reply, the Ilouse divided, when there appeared— For the motion 147 Against it lOl _ . . Majority .. 43 Mr. Parkes was then called to the Bar, and, in answer to questions from Mr. GISBORNE, verified the allegations of his petition. On the question being put from the Chair, that the peti tioners in the petition from the borough of Leicester be al lowed to correct a clerical error. Mr. F. O'CONNOR although he had voted for the pre, vious motion to serve the purposes of justice, should vote against the present. Sir R. PEEL thought the question lay in a very small compass. If they passed laws it was their duty as much as any of the other subjects of the State to conform to them. There was a clear enactment, and they were deprived of all discretion. Mr. D. W. HARVEY differed from the Right Hon. Bart. and regretted that recent circumstances had made the High Court of Parliament as much a place of appeal for petty dis putes as the Bail Court, and the Courts of judicature in West minster Hall. Sir F. POLLOCK thought the terms of the enactment precluded the House from interfering, and that it was not in a condition to grant the request. He appealed to the Speaker if such indulgences could be given.—( Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER was perfectly ready to obey the House if the House were desirous for the expression of his opinion, which he could only give as any other individual Member of Parliament—( Hear, hear)—the construction of the Act being left for the House to decide upon. He had, finding his expe rience deficient, consulted such authorities as were most likely to afford him information, and on such appeal had found no precedent to authorise the required indulgence. After a few words from Lord Sandon, Lord J. Russell, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Rolfe, Lord F. Egerton, and Mr. Herries, amid loud cries of Question, the House again divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it... Majority CORK COUNTY) ELECTION. Mr. LEFR 0 Y presented a petition from the London agent of the petitioners in the case of the Cork county election. praying that the name of Henry might be substituted for that of William in the instance of one of the securities to this peti tion. The petition was accompanied by an affidavit, made by the Cork agents, Messrs. Foote and Fitzsiinon, stating the error to be purely clerical. He concluded by moving that the petitioners, John Jackson and James Cummins be called to the bar of the House. The motion was agreed to, and the witness called in, after which, Mr. LE FRO Y moved, therefore, for permission to correct the clerical error, and to extend the time of trying the petition ten days longer than the period already fixed. Mr. F. O'CONNOR was of opinion that the subject should be dropped altogether, and he would put it to the At torney-General whether there was any parity in point of strength between the cases of that and the former petition from Leicester. Mr. C. WYNN—The Right Hon. Gentleman should not oppose the motion on the ground that it had been settled, as far as the principle went, by the previous decision of the House. Mr. D. W. HARVEY should pursue his old course, and look at the equity of the case—( A laugh)—and give the Hon. Member the benefit of his vote, and he trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would afford the benefit of his assistance, and give a vote which would spring from a coinci dence between advice and precept.—('Hear. ) Lord SANDON thought that the Hon. Member who bad just sat down was not exactly the sort of Gentleman who was entitled to read the House a lecture upon equity and cowls. tency. Acting on the principle of equity, and with a view to do justice to both parties, he should feel no difficulty in ac ceding to the motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought there could not be the slightest doubt that the House had the power of acced ing to the present motion, though there had been a doubt in the preceding case. An HoN. MEMBER, whose name could not be heard in the Gallery, maintained that the truth lay in the converse of the Hon. Attorney-General's proposition. The SPEAKER here ad dressed a fsw words to the Hon. Member, which were inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. SHAW could rot conceive that the case was parallel to that which had been last decided. Mr. 0' CONN E LL would vote for this motion if it ma ~' 'r~.:%' (LEFT SITTING.) The Duke of Cumberland was sitting under the gallery of the House of Commons paying every marked attention to the debate, and evinced at oue time considerable impatience, so much so as to strike his spur with a stick so violently, as to draw the attention of the whole House towards him.

Those gen tlemen had been appointed to take upon them the burthen of the Commitee, and they had been shifting the burthen off their own shoulders, upon those of a future Committee. There were two cases in which Committees, in consequence of a defeat on the poll, had adopted the course that had been pur sued in the present instance. The Middlesex case was one. Mr. WYNN was sorry to interrupt the Hon. Member, but he thought it was a question that the House could not entertain. Mr. C. BULLER rose to order. The SPEAKER (as WO understood) thought that the Hon. Member ought to be allowed to proceed. Mr. C. BULLER was speaking strictly to the question. The Hon. Member then went on to describe the facts of the Middlesex case, and stated that he did not consider that it bore out the conduct of the Committee in the present case, in bringing forward an incomplete decision before the House. The Canterbury case was one of misnomer. He did not pre tend that the House had the power to reverse the decision of Committee'; and still less did he mean to oppose the motion. He only intended to oall.the attention of the House to tee ex traordinary nature of this case. He would, however, move to morrow that the resolution should be rescinded. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. The follow;ng are the names of Members chosen to form the Committee to try the validity of the Dublin Petition : J. T. Rundell, Lord J. Stuart, Sir R. Donkin, J. Vescy, G. F. Young, J. Maxwell, J. Neeld, E. Holland, T. Balfour, Lord A. Conyngham, and J, U. Vivian. CANTE.RBURY ELECTION. An ilo,Nt. MEmnv.lt said he was little acquainted with the forms of the House, but he could not conceive that any Mem ber had the power of calling in question the decision of the House on an Rleetion Committee. Such a course would be oxtramely inconvenient, and take up the time of the House uselessly. He could only say that every Member of that Committee had been unanimous.—( Hear.)
