s sum of money into the office, it was entered in Latin. The account was given in English. Suppose a payment of 5,360/. made from the land tax revenue—it was entered down in barbarous Latin, and certain notches made in a piece of wood or tally, to denote the hundreds and thousands received. Great inconvenience in other respects arose front keeping the accounts at the Eachequet and the Treasury. He therefore anticipated much benefit from the labours of a Committee appointed to examine • into the manner in which the public accounts were kept. Whv keep the accounts at the two places? They served only to perplex and confuse those who averc obliged to • have recourse to them. The one or the other should he abandoned. Why, he would, ask, should not tie public accounts of this country be kept in the same plain and simple manner in which they were kept in America and France? In the latter country,, they were kept in a manner well worthy our imitation. . This subject had been mentioned about fonr . years ago, an d some • inquiry into it was promised, but it was postponed, as all the ether promised inquiries would be, unless. some such plan as he now 'suggested was adopted, by referring ea c h separate department to the consideration of a separate Com_ mittee. He would also propose that the Committee should inquire, not only how the accounts were kept, but should considi r the best mode of keeping them in a simple form, and without that variety which served only to confuse. There were other details connected with this subject, into which it was not necessary to enter, as they would be best considered in the Committee itself. To the investigation of another Committee ha would submit the revenue and expenditure of those Colonies which did not possess legis lative assemblies. The Committee should also inquire into the amount which the maintenance of such Colonies cost Great Britain. He was glad to find Iliat some notice was taken of this'subject by the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he Would extend the inquiries to all Colonies which had local legislatures. It was notorious that in Ceylon, and other - places, considerable revenues were squandered away without having any account rendered as to their application. An other Committee might he most usefully employed in in - • - quiring into the manner in which the Civil List was ex pended, in England, Scotland, and Ireland—the salaries - of Judges—the pensions and allowanees to Officers of State —the expences of palaces and parksL.-(hear, hear)—and all the other charges - Which went to make up our iniscella-. nevus 'ekperidittirean 'expenditure which, amounted to • 2,500,000/. last year, and which was divided intoso many branches, that no good result could be "obtained from an attempted investigation, unless by a Committee especially appointed for that purpose. The subjects he had mentioned all related to revenue, but there were aither matters which also required separate investigation. He would have a Committee to inquire into the expenditure of the army and ordnance abroad and at home*. Another Committee would have to consider the navy, and all the expences of the dock yards and marine establishments, the several items of which would fully occupy the attention of a Committee for three months. Besides the miscellaneous payments, he would also inquire into expenditures under the head of civil contingen cies—the expences of Downing-street—the Board of Works —the expence which particularly required investigation, the amount of law charges—the expence and application of Irish cbarieies,—the expense of convicts, and several other item, which made up the long list in that very costly department. He had no doubt, if a strict and impartial inquiry were made into these matters, that a saving might be made of 500,000/. or 600,0001. out of the 2,000,000/. which they cost the country. Ile would also have a Committee to inquire into the amount of our funded and unfunded debt, and the cost and charges of its managenient ; and he had no doubt it would be made apparent, that the amount of the annual charge reduced since 1816, had been mistaken by the Right Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Peel). The Committee would also have to inquire into the nature of the Sinking Fund, and the source from which it was derived ; also into the arrange . rnent respecting the half-pay and pensions, and likewise respecting the savings' banks, on account of which so great an expense Was undertaken by Government. The Committee would also have to consider why the South Sea Corripany-avas continUed at an ex p ense o f a b out • twelve thousand pounds a' year, for no other purpose but that of paying a few hundr e d th ousan d pounds. The - investigation of these matters would, he had no doubt, fully occupy the Committee for three months, and the public, he was sure, would derive much advantage from its labours. Those matters would, he thought, afford abun dant occupation for the eleven committees; but if some of them should prove too heavy for one committee, subdivi sions might be made of the matter; referred to one cola. mittee ; and if the House seriously intended to benefit the country by inquiring into its income and expenditure, they would ardopt•this subdivision of labour, by the result of which' the public might be freed from much of that burden of taxes by which they were oppressed. It might be said, that some of these committees would clash in the progress of their inquiries; but no 'difficulties could arise on that . aceount,"beCause two of the committees might have a meet ing 'whenever circumstances should require, and thus any 'obstaele to their separate labours might be removed by their joint exertions. He would also suggest that a general coin - mittee 'should be formed consisting of the chairmen of all the other eommittees;and these, jointly, should draw up a report touching the seVeral'mattere on which their respec tive committees had been employed. He was aware that th e House was not fkind of novelties, and they might reject hia'Suggestions in faionr of The proposition of the Right Honourable 'Gentleman. Theie was, however, this dif ference between'the tivo,—that the one was nugatory, and the' other efficient. • He feared that the ,Committee would not produce the efficient results which the country expected • fromit. Unless it reduced the Civil List, and all other expenses, beginning with his Majesty as an example to the . rest of the nation, the country would net be satisfied. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER WAS of o pinion, that the proposition of the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, for appointing eleven or twelve separate coin mitten instead of one, would be productive of no advantage whatever. There would - be in the Committee to be ap pointed ample opportunity of examining into the manner in which the public accounts were kept, and of amending the system in whatever particulars it might be found faulty. The Hon Member had greatly exaggerated the defects of that systiro when he alluded to the cutting of a stick in the Ex chequer. That practicewas a mere relic of barbarism, and had long since been discantinued: But though lie .objected to • t -the Hon. Member's preposition generally, he could assure -him that if there should be any particular branch of the expenditure, such for instance as that of the colonies, which the committee should think they could nokadequately in -quire into, he had no objection to delegate that particular • . 'abject to a separate cominittee. When he stated that, he :gave. the best pledge of the intentions with which ke should ;'go into the committee, if it should be the pleasure of the _ House to appoint him one of the Members.—(Hear-) He would go into the committee with the full determination (*accurately investigating, and properly deciding on, the several topics which would be brought under his notice; and he felt strong conviction that the labours of the com mittee viol& tend to reduce the public burdens, and place the finances of the country in a materially improved con dition. Further than this, the House wouldexcuse peen statists/ a : His Right Hon. Friend had so fully explained thcnature and - extent of his .proposition, that it would be presumption in hint to say any thing further ou the subject. The , motion •- fdethi ePpointinent of the Committee was • then agreed to. • Mr.- PEEL said, it Vi!'S he believed, f or th e Member who moved for a Committee to propose the indi vidnals'of whom he desired that He would it should be composed. • therefore hand tthe SPeeker the list which be - . hat drawn bp.

The SPEAKER then put the question—" That seven , e a quiSi-trov." Me: BARING r ose , a nd expresse d hi s surpr i se that so few Ministers of - the' Crown were appointed Members of sooretary for the the Cornmittee; The omission of the Right Honourable Colonies him as most extraordinary. anti.lie s t ruck the vote it appeared to the House generally in the vot e light.--(Hear.) Mr. PERI, said, that the reason why more Ministers were not to be found in the list was, the duties they had t o -perform were so litany, and occupied so much of their time,: that it - was iroPossible they could give any efficient VESliee in . the Commitlee. He had himself pressed his Welt H":-Coll (Mr. Httskisson) to be a member o f the Committee' • but he refused on the grounds which h e stated to the Rouse. * He was also desirous thitihe Committee shoUld'llitie been benefitted by the va luable assistance of the Hon. and Learned Member oppo me-(Mk Brougham),' but hi declined being a member on ii ii e unt Of tis . minierous piOressional avocations. Mr. BARING expressed a hope that the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies would reconsider the determi nation to which he had come.—(" Hear," from Mr. Peel. The whole. of the. men/here of the Committee put togethei were not, on a subject of this description, worth the Right Hon. Gentleman alone. His information and research penetrated into every corner of our financial and commer cial system, and. to except him from the Committee win. to shut out the greatest light That could be thrown upon the subjects to be therein discussed. Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. HUSKISSON rose at the same time. The latter sat down, and the Learned Mem ber addressed the House. If the object of the Right Hon. Gentleman in rising was to refuse the entreaties made his Hon. Friend (Mr. Baring), he was not sorry that le , had prevented the Right don. Gentleman from effectin his object, until he had heard him (Mr. Brougham) add In voice in support of what seemed to be the almost unani mous wish of the House. Nothing that might fall Jim' the Right Hon. Gentleman, in the course of the explain' time which he would offer to the House of what had passe , lately, should in any way alter his wish to have the Righ lion. Gent. a member of the Committee. Without intend - ing the slightest disrespect to the members of the Committee he must say, that compared with the resources which tb Right Hon. Gent. could bring into play, they were as dust the;balatice. He hoped, therefore, that the Right Hon. Gent would suffer himself to be persuaded to become a member o the Committee. An allusion had been made to himself, ii consequence of which he felt called upon to say a few words. In the course of that morning, he had been informed that an intention was entertained to nominate him a mem ber of the Committee. Whether the House would have approved of that nomination he of course could not know- He could assure the House that it was from DO disinclina tion towards the work, nor from any apprehension of it-. being ill done, (for, on the contrary, he had great and con fident expectation that much good would result from the labour.; of the Committee), that he begged leave respect fully to decline being a member of the Committee, bir solely because of his professional avocations. Now, that he was addressing , the House, he might say that h e th oug ht the suggestion of the Honourable Member might be acted upon to a limited extent,by the Committee dividing them selves into separate committees of seven members, to in quire into particular subjects, if it should be considered necessary. He likewise thought that the Committee should furnish the House with reports on the most pressing subjects. Mr. HUSKISSON considered it necessary to say a few words, after the manlier in which he had been appealed to by the Hon. Member for Callington, and seconded, as that appeal was, by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He certainly had, in the first communication with his Right Hon. Colleague, on the subject of becoming a Member ot the Committee, declined the proposition only on account of the numerous official avocations which pressed upon him. and occupied nearly the whole of his time. He could assure both the Hon. Members who had appealed to him, and the House generally, that it was not for want of the most anxious desire on the part of his Right Hon. Colleague, earnestly pressed upon him, that he did not form part ot the Committee.—(.' Hear" from Mr. Peel.)—Having, however, for several years of his life devoted the whole o! his time to the public service, so far as his health and strength permitted, he was now willing, if it were in ac cordance to the feeling of the House, to attend the Com mittee occasionally, and give so much of his assistance as his health would allow, with all the zeal and ability hr possessed. On this as other occasions, he yi e ld e d t o the expressed wish of the representatives of the people.— (Hear, hear.) The 'motion that " seven be a quorum" was agreed to. Mr. PEEL then moved, " that Mr. Iluskisson be added the Committee," which was carried. Leave was given to the Committee, in the usual manner, report from time to time, and The House then, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR 01 the EXCHEQUER, adjourned at a quarter before Eight o'clock.

Thursday, Feb. 21. Colonel Davies—Bill to regulate the mode of taking the Polls in Cities and Boroughs in England. 'WEYMOUTH ELECTION, FEB. 15. The Election still continues. Yesterday morning! the " Purples," as the friends to Mr. Sugdeu are termed, made the greatest exertions, and by the assistance of that syitem of mobbing, which obtains so generally at elections in this borough, they succeeded in obtaining possession of the Hall as soon as the doors were opened. By this decided advantage they were enabled to bring their voters freely to the poll ; this they had not been enabled to do before, in consequence of the immense mobs which Major Weyland bad retained at a fee, it is said, of 7s. per diem, from the quarries of Portland. That the " Purples" profited by their exertions was evident from the state of the poll at closing, the. numbers being This Day. Total, - For Mr. Sugden, 42 104 Major Weyland 24 96 Majority for Mr. Sugden lB in the evening Mr. Sugden met his Committee and friends at the Crown Hotel, where he addressed them in a most energetic and eloquent manner, acknowledging the deep debt 'of gratitude due from him to them, for the powerful and highly successful exertions which had been .that day made in their and his mutual cause; and he urged them, by every means in their power, to repeat those exertions, to be tree and firm to their colours—not to be deterred by any mob from fulfilling their determination to use their elective franchise, but to come forward boldly as they had that day done, and he was assured that victory must crown their cause. Major Weylaud also addressed his friends, and said, that, although that day's poll bad been against him, he did not despair ; the morrow's poll would prove that they could and would maintain their position. This morning it was discovered that the " Blues" had been so excited by the victory which was obtained over them yesterday, that they had placed their partizans at the en trance to • the bail as early as two o'clock, in order to pos sess a certainty of being the first to poll. This alertness on their part was not met by a correspondent activity on the part of the "Purples ;" so that at the commencement of this day's poll, the voters for the Major were decidedly in the niajority. The polling went on very slowly, and at four o'clock the numbers stood— Day's Poll. For Mr. Sugden 8 Major Weyland .... ......12 Total. 112 108 Majority for Mr. Suplen It was-observed, that during the day's poll, when the Purples had by continued exertions brought their men forward to the poll, and thus diminished the majority of Major Weyland, Mr. Tyrrell embraced every opportunity of introducing long discussions on the legality of the votes, and by this manoeuvre he succeeded in maintaining for some time the superiority which they had acquired.

My deep sense of your kindness would not allow me to betray the high trust committed to my charge, even if that which I entertain of its high and important duties, as well as the pledges I have deliberately given, did not ensure my fidelity. I will only add my conviction, that before I shall have occasion to solicit a renewal of your confidence, I shall have rendered pledges and professions unnecessary on my part, by an independent line of public conduct, by an assi duous attention to those interests of a local nature which are now the peculiar objects of my care, and by a vigilant anxiety to- maintain and promote the public liberties and general welfare of my Country. . I have honour to be, Gentlemen, With the highest respect, Your much oblige.l and most obedient servant, Brancepeth Castle, WM. RUSSELL. Feb. 13, 182 S. Ett *MU. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1828 We were enabled exclusively to give last night, in a Seem] Edition, Mr. PEEL'S able and satisfactory Speech on the appointment of a Finance Committee, the character of the Members composing which is of itself a sufficient " guarantee" that Government are sincerely and earnestly resolved on reducing our Expenditure to the lowest point, consistent with our rank in the scale of nations. It will be perceived that the expected explanation on the part of Mr•. HusussoN did not take place in the House of Commons. The opportunity really seemed to slip away ; but we are convinced that that which the nation has a right to look for will not long be withheld, notwith standing some surmises which we have heard to that effect. In the midst, however, of the persecution to which the Right Hon. Gentleman is exposed, the scene which took place on his nomination to the Finance Committee may be said to be almost without a parallel. On such occasions it is customary for each side of the House to urge the nomi nation of its own Members, with a view of producing at least an equipoise. But last night exhibited the phenome non of two of the Opposition Leaders urging the nomina tion of a Secretary of. State, and .thereby voluntarily cast ing the balance in favour of the Ministerial side. Mr. BARING "expressed a hope that the Right Hon. Se cretary for the Colonies would re-consider the determina tion to which he had come.—(Hear, from Mr. PEEL.) — The whole of the Members of the Committee put together were not, on a subject of this description, worth the Right Hon. Gentleman alone. His information and research penetrated into every corner of our financial and commer cial system, and to except him from the Committee was to shut out the greatest light that could be thrown upon the subjects to be therein discussed ;" and Mr. BROUGHAM, in a speech commencing with some demonstrations of hostility, thus almost exhausts the terms • of eulogy, in ex pressing his opinion of the Colonial Secretary.— " Nothing that might fall from the Right Hon. Gentle man, in the course of the explanation which he would offer to the House of what had passed lately, should in any way alter his (Mr. linooc tux's) wish to have the Right Hon. Gentleman a Member of the Committee. Without intending the slightest disrespect to the Members of the Committee, he lutist say, that compared with the resources which the Right Hon. Gentleman could bring into play, they were as dust in the balance." Nor let it be forgotten that these observations involve much more than a simple conviction of Mr. HUSKISSON'S knowledge andinformation. They evidently imply an ,as surance of his possessing an integrity and patriotism, which will apply to .a legitimate purpose those vast stores ofwhich they know him to be possessed. But want of space pre vents our enlarging on this topic. The Gazette de France, dated Thursday, contains two letters from the Augsburyh Gazette, which state, upon the authority of a Russian vessel, arrived at Odessa, and which sailed from Constantinople on the loth ult., that the Bosphorus is closed against the flags of all nations. They further state that after the ex piration of a certain time the subjects of the three Powers must consider themselves as Rayas, or quit the capital, because the right of foreign protection would no longer be acknowledged there. These measures are said to have been taken, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Diplomatic Body at Peva ; but we much question the authenticity of the channel through which this news is received.

YaNNA, Fin. 4.--Metalliques, 90i; Bank Shares, 1045. The following notification is important to vessels visiting Halifax, Nova Scotia : A light-house has lately been erected on the tower, at the west end of Alauger's Beach, at the entrance of the har bour, which will he lighted on the Ist of April, 1828. As this light is intended for the express purpose of leading vessei is up the harbour % the greater part of the eastern side be darkened, namely, from N.E. by N. to S. j E. The following directions should be atten ded to :—Ves corning from the eastward must keep Sainbro Light open to the Southward of Chebucto Head, and until the light opens on "Manger's Beach, which will then bear N.. W.. They will then be to the westward of Thrum Cap .:Shoals, and may shape a course up the har bour, always .keeping the light on the beach open, and on the starboard how.

Our: correspondent misled us, not inter• tionally, but from report. The following was th.. .fact, :—On his lordship's arrival at the Motherbank he hoisted the yellow flag, and took up his station at the quarantink ground. Shortly afterwards the Quarantine Officer went alongside, and asked the vessel was front the Turkish dominions, i► which case. she could not be allowed pratique Lord COCHRANE answered that the vessel was from Greece, - which was not now part of the Turkish do minions, as the Allied Powers had virtually recognised its independence by the Treaty of Intervention. The officer was of the same opinion, and allowed the vessel pratique. His Lordship then proceeded on shore. How ever, he had not landed long, when the Custom-House Officers, in their political wisdom, took a new view of the Treaty of Intervention, ai►d concluded that Greece was still part of the Turkish dominions. His Lordship learning this opinion immediately went on board, not wishing in the slightest degree to con travene the Quarantine Laws. By return-of post, 2iowever, he was liberated. We have received the following letter from his ord ship, will be read with much pleasure, as showing that the real object of his return to this country is to obtain the most effectual means for suppressing iiiracy in the Archipelago, and the Levant Seas : TO THE EDITOR or THE SUN. SlR,—Having observed in the newspapers various groundless conjectures regarding the motives of my arrival in this country, I have judged it proper, as it can be of no detriment to the cause of humanity, to state, for public information, that an anxious desire to obtain the means of suppressing piracy, commit ted by numerous row-boats which infest the Archi pelago, is now the chief object of Greece, in return for the good offices rendered by the Neutral Powers, , which services cannot well be accomplished by sail ing vessels of any description. Indeed, under ex isting circumstances, no other naval enterprize can be undertaken by. Greece. • If, however, the great pacificating • Powers shall themselves adopt these means, all existing evils will terminate at once to the completion of their glorious undertaking. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, Feb. 16, 1828. COCHRANE. Calcutta Papers to the 16th September have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house, being three days later than our last advices from that quarter. Cholera, we regret to learn, prevails to a con siderable extent amongst the native population. At. pre sent a number of the cases have proved fatal after a few hours' illness. The extreme' variableness of the weather may in a great measure account for the sickness. Extreme heat at one time of the day is quickly succeeded by rain and a very considerable degree of cold, which, on bodies not well defended against it, is productive of the worst effects. The' following is a statement of the markets : Cotton.—The transactions in this during the week, have been entirely confined to native dealers for country consump - tion. 164 bales of Cutchoura were brought to public sale yesterday, which went off with considerable spirit, at 12s. 9d. to 13s. per maund.

FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwEArE o'CLocx. Contrary to expectation the business doing in the Eng lish Funds has not been extensive this morning. The speech of Mr. Peel, last night, is deemed in the City alto gether satisfactory, and the appointment of the Members of the Committee on Finance has been hailed without a dis sentient voice, by the public of all parties, as extremely satisfactory. Much practical good, it is calculated, will emanate to the revenue and country at large, from the labours of a Committee ; so impartially and so powerfully constituted. At'the'Operiing the Consol Mark e t f or a f ew moments was completely paralysed by the divided opinions of each party maintaining their ideas by words not acts; however, the price, which was 1154, was soon changed to 11, by the public buying a few thousands ; after the supply of the Jobbers was over Consols dropped a little, and Were done at ,85N- for this aqount, and 85i for April, "to the disappoint ment of the Bears, who indulged the hope that complete na tional distress would ensue, and that nothing less than the removal of the Commissioners' Box, and a tremendous Loan, would be required.

The North Devon Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, com manded by Colonel Lord Rolle, .which was discontinue on the 25th of December last, have offered their military services to Government, without any pay or allowance whatever. A very clever pamphlet, entitled '• A plain Statement of some particulars of the Financial Sitmatiot of the United Kingdom," has just appeared, but want o' room prevents our doing justice to its merits. Our readers will see some notice of it under the Spirit of the Public Journals. Our euteinporary, the Times, is rather ad dicted to snaking mountains of mole-bills. Militar) Despotism is to be established, forsooth ! because a con nexion of the Duke of WELLINGTON has exchanged a half pay fora full-pay Majority.---Does that Journal support that interest now for the first time tells in the Army, and that the relations of Dukes and Marquisses do not get on faster than other men ? The only difference w( know is, that formerly no service at all was. require I whereas now there are regulations fixing the mini mum, and which regulations cannot be broke through We may just add, that Major CULLING Smrrx commenced his military career in the Foot Guards---and that our• cotem porary is misinformed as to his having been always in tin Cavalry.
