Itd him to perform before. Would he be required - to pay more on the score of liberality than Vl' , 3! usitaily paid before out of the Royal purse ? The situation of CustoS was Ct: lltd a public office, and one of great respoosibil,ty. H e would deny both. I\!ajesty held no public office, and could not hold one of Was the Queen Consort capable or filing a public office) If they said so, would it he asserted that she was respon sible ? It could not be asserted ; the office was not a responsible one. It was dele2atel! by Pallb"nent to )er '‘:lajesty for the guardianship of the King. Gov,rnmeot provided expressly that the Costos shonld not be responsible, for they gave him a Council, who were to be accountable for whatever was done. The next thing to be considered was the. event of the duties attached to the situation. The Custos had a Groom of the Stole wi!h 20001 a year for superintending the whole establish ment, who was obliged to be resident at 'Windsor. This Officer had a Deputy equally capable with of manag i ng th e whole concern, and of course matteis %%ere conducted without any trouble t; , e Custos. What then had he ro (to 3 No [Ho,: but to take care that the Physicians attend ed to their important ttust, and, if his Majesty should recover, to cmpmunirate the event to the • Public, to see that it should nor be coo t-v:11(d. He must deny that the pet formance of tt•ese t!uties required such a autr as 10,0001. W ell.er the office was measured by lahour respotisibili!y, it was not worth 10,001)1. a year. T!,t Council received no salary ; the grooms who were dismissed begged to be retained, and offered to pertimn their ditties witloott sal-4.y, merely front «free:ion for the Royal Person to whom they %vete devoted The Trustees also got no salary W'as theft his Royal Highness the favourite son of Isis Majos , y—was he, as Custos, tie only per•on who vt ould not art without a salary ?—This ap peared a VlirltZe piece of business. It should be sited to the boftOtn. Was it a situation ht which his Royal IliOutess ought to he placed—sending into that House, as it were, a hill for contingent penees ? His Royal Highness filed another public office that tequired all his time. lie would beg to ask the question, w hich of them was he to rte:ziect—vitat of Commander-in-Chief or Custos ? lie was Hie servant of the public in a department tl.at demanded the most unremitting attenti-n, anti yet 10,0001. a year was now required. to draw Litt away from he Hoist Guards, where his du. ti-s lay. Tie Right Hon. Gentleman pressed these points lit various ways, and concluded by decl.ting, ft:at he should give his vote for the amendment. Me' CANNING cordially agreed with those Hon. Gcntlemen who had expressed their regret that tint- necessary course which most he taken in pre patine, this reduced establishment to the House, would naturally lead to such detaik as in the Report w inch was lyiug on the !ahle ; for he would have been much better pleased m;ad there been the slightes! poshility of time House at once coming to an agreement to grant a specific sum, by which the painful disclosure of such details would have been spared. Rut there was a third plan now proposed, viz, the dividing. of it into equal propor tions. Through the whole evening there had been the strongest wish expressed to avoid any general review of the proposed Establishment, yet not one Honourable Gentleman had spoken who had me/rain e d li mn entering on it. This particularly was the case with an Hun. and Learned Gentleman who had spoken early in the debate, whose talents and other eminent quaiifi cations would render him a valuable Membei' in the House—(hear, hear !)-- , -who had stated his de•ire that every other point should he avoided, except the specific one before the House yet that Honourable and Learned Gentleman went forthwith into the consideration of every imagin able t o -pi e which could by any possibility be brought"' muter the review of Parliament during the present Session, beginning with time distresses of the country, and ending with the Catholic question. Whether the spirit with which Mini sters had been actuated in bringing forward the Windsor Establishment on its present reduced scale—a scale, he must say, grating to the feel ings of all, shewed thek iosensibility to the pub lic distress, it was for the 1-louse to judge. The House were called on now not to build, but to pull down—(hear, bear !)—not to lay new foun dations, but to examine bow tar any part of the present edifice could be taken down, with a pro per tegard to the safety of the whole.—lt was not by the clamour of this town that the general feel ing of the country was to be estimated. From the 100,0001. voted eight years ago by a Pariia ment then assembled, they proposed to reduce 50,0001. anti that reduction had been approved of in ,',he Committee, where even the Right Hon. Gentleman had confessed he had had Ho idea that 20,0001. a-year was necessary for the repairs of Windsor Castle. Thus orm:y 30,0001. was left for his Majesty. With respect to the quest;oo of the Duke's being responsible,. he confessed he was not able to give a legal opinion on that, but it was obvious that the office threw on hint the performance of some duties which were cer taittly responsible. The Right Honourable Gentleman t hen at great length expatiated on the Calls which would be made on the COS ros by those who had shared that liberality ~which characteiized her late Majesty. The Bill ap pointing the Duke to succeed his mother had vet y properly originated with the Lords, but though it stated no sum, it was not to be sup posed their Lordships intended his Royal High ness to hold a mere place without tee or reward. An Honourable Member had expressed on a former occasion something like indignation at the determinatiou of his Royal Highness die Duke of York riot to take the proposed allowance out of lime Privy Purse. The delicacy of his Royal Highness on this subject, evinced in his result'. tiom, to relinquish all emolument, rather than plituge his hand into the private purse of his fa ther, appeared to him to deserve to be regarded with a very different feeling. But perhaps the Honourable Member would rather have advised his Royal Highne,s to follow 11. e old mmixim Rem lacias; rem, Si puss's, trete ; si nun, quocunque wutio real." The Hight Hon. Gentleman procreded to argue that the Prity Poise ban become by successive Acts of Parliament Ole private property of the litng ; and enumerated those Acts, the last of which wn.; that of 1612. Patliament. were titere:. fore especially bound to respect those Acts by which his Majesty was assured of a certain in come in lieu of the hereditary revenue which he had relinquished. It was nothing to him to say that his Majesty was insensible and could not write—that be was blind and could not see—that he was deaf and could not hear. He (Mr.Cant►ing) deriv e d f rom thos e considerations no consoln. • tion for the wrong intended hiin. lie could not forget what his Xing had beet► in svha be was. He could not forget that his Ila • jesty had reigned over this country daring the greater part of t hat period which was emphatically termed that of constittrional liberty. He could not forget how materially the unstained character, the faultless example of his Majesty had, during a storm of 30 c•ears' duration, contributed to save the country from exter►►al and internal danl:cr. Ile conic! not contemplate him in his secladed con dition—" wisdom at one entrance quite shut out," a venerable ruin ; scathed by Heaven's lightning. but couset rated while blasted by the blow ; though str!pped of his spreading branches, still affording, the protectinv, shade of his aged trunk—without a sentiment, which .vould not penult him to think for a moment of touchi ng that f'u&d, which his Majesty's abandoment of his hereditary revenues, and the repeated sanction of Pa , liament, had rendered sar`red.

The Pdris Papers of Tuesday last, which were due this morniag, have not arrived. Upon reperusing the Supplementary Gazette re specting India (which we received at a late hour yesterday), we find thai the extract we gave in yesterday's Su N is the only article in it of the least interest ; all the other Dispatches being of old dates, and containing nothing that has not already been published. THE Futrns.—The depression in the F►►nds yesterday occasioned an extraordit►a►y dismay among the Monied Interest, as no poli;ical or domestic ca►ise was assigned For the fall. When they fell to 741 for Money, a general panic seized the Mal k et, and it is said that had it not been for the interference of the Jew connection, a further depression of two per Cent. would .have taken place. This party finding their ends answered iu bringing the Market to the above price, as Bears, took in upwards of two millions of Stock. The consequence was, that a reaction took place, and Consols left off at 75i, for ;Money. In the course of yesterday Exchequer Bills were done at 2s. Discount, but they have this day risen to from 3s. to 6s. premium. Consols, this morning, com menced at 74 Money, and 754 for Accbunt ; they went to 75 Money, a►►d 751 for Account, but again fell to the former price. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. As our Readers must be surfeited with the hack neyed trash vented by the Burdeltites, who will suffer nobody to be beard but themselves, we shall be brief in our notice of the disgusting sub ject this day. Mr. HOBHOUSE yesterday, as usual, pronounced a high panegyric on the vir tues of Sit FRANCIS BURDETT, but the latter, though present, did not perform his part of the compact Ky praising his Pupil in return. The Jacobin Gang, of course, interrupted Mr.LAmB with blealings rather than the brayings which might be expected front such asses as favour Mr. HOl3- HOUSE. The Poll, however, is the test, and we hope, for the honour of WVest►t►inster, as well as for the safety of the Country, that the Revolution ary Candidate, who dropped tears of admiration at tl►e sight of BUONAPARTE, will be rejected with the honest indignation which becomes the British character. Tile roilowing,paragraph, which con tains the " sum awl. substance" of a statement delivered by Mr. Hosnotiss, we have taken from The Morning Post : " A person, whom he styles most respecfabie. is staid to have shown his independence by voting against his conscience to please his patron. Lie then skulks over to Mr. Hos- Housg, and being added to the corps of patriotic canvassers, he now goes about with unblushing effrontery to recommend others to sacrifice their private interests to their public duty, which lie had taken good care not to do himself, and on the sly opposes himself to the views of the friend he had perjured himself to conciliate. -A precious fellow thii! If any such being actually exist, he is certainly worthy of the cause in which he has embodied, and of the friends who now celebrate his respectability." STATE OF THE POLL YE.STERDAY. For the Hon. G.

There is sacreely •a shadow- of doubt but that every board perished. Letters from the other side state, that her stern was picked up, and that the coast was literally sire:red wiih the wrecks of different vesftls. Several vessels have arrived here that were driVen from their 'anchors, and a schooner belonging to Portsmouth With her foremast gone. HULL, FEB. 24.—The Isabella, WALus, from Sunderland to Portsmouth, which was on shore at the Spoil Point, broke up on Sunday night ; part of the stores saved. Same night the Judos ' try, EVANS, loaded with potatoes, was last on the Plinks, and all hands perished. The Life Boat went out to this vassel - When the first came on shore, but the crew, with singular obstinacy, refused to leave her. The boat went off a se cond time to her, as a light was hoisted at about half-past eleven o'clock, but although they got so near as to hear some of the crew calling out for assistance, they could not save any of them. It appears that she afterwards sunk in deep water& The I-Icrn, URQUHART, was got off l as t n i g h t without damage; she only l a nd e d a sma ll part of her cargo, which will b e s hi ppe d i mmediately.
