?ARUM' CNIARY fAC rics, o .ur limits ha . ve been so hilly occupied with thr. Pktiliamentary Debates and Foreign News the las t days, that we had no opportunity of offer ing the few comments which occurred to us on the Speech Ale. WHITBREAD and the Answer of Lord Cksztenekow. Both were, however, too impor tant to be allowed to pass bye in silence, though felV desultory remarks are all we can a 11.4 to t. 144 n, amid the record of events which shake Eu- Th rae to its centre, and occur so rapidly RS scarcely "eave us time for a glance at one, till another tieeeerls to obliterate its precursor's form. 14 r.

ABSTRACT OF I MPO fall NT PAR LI ANT ENTARY I'AFERS.--. To be continued regularly) It appears, by the accounts laid before the House on Friday, relative to the Civil List, that the charge of that establishment for the year end ing thelith of April, 1813, was 1,310,0701. 4s. 50. for the year ending the sth of April, 1814, 1,361,5511. 19s. 41-d. and for the three quarters only to the sth of January, 1815, 1,436,7171. 2s. Id. When the Civil List was under the consideration of Parliament last year, the thendeficiency amount ing to 118,8371. 4s. l Id. was !nada good by a vote of the Rouse, and an additional sum of 100,0001. was also voted to meet the anticipated extraordi nary charges of the Civil List. Upon the face of the present accounts, however, there appears a debt or deficiency of 421,355/. 2s. Bd. The amount of hills in the Lord Chamberlain's department is . stated at 247,000/. ; the Lord Steward's depart ment, 113,000/. and that of the Master of the Horse, 64,9001. during the short period of three quarters of a year. The extraordinary disburse ments of our Minixters abroad, in the like time, amounts to 141,000/. The sale of admission tic kets into the Park, at the time of the Jubilee, which was expected to produce a very considera ble sum, actually yielded only 9926/.. 115. which will ultimately be apprOpriated to the relief of wi dows and orphans of the soldiers and seamen who Lave fallen in battle. For the present, it has been impart payment of the tradesmens' bills fur the erections in the Parks. :MURDER. MULLINGAR, Mum( 16.—0 n the night of Wednesday- the Bth inst. a desperate gang of ruf. fians attacked the house of John and Michael Bri4an, on the lands of Knockdrin, in the King's county, near Road, They first placed a guard on the barn, in order to . prevent any resistance from the servants, who had slept there, and then proceeded to 'break open the door of the dwelling 'house with a stone hammer, which, after a slight resistance, they speedily accomplished, and rush, ed in after firing three shots. On entering the hotise they attacked Michael and John Brogan, the former of whom they murdered on the spot, by repeated blows an the head, and left the latter apparently lifeless. The villains then broke open a chest, out of which they took five hundred guineas in gold, and one hundred in Bank notes, and after plundering the house of a quantity of linen anti other articles, drank a bottle of spirits, and departed with their booty. Next clay a most active but Ineffectual pursuit of the ruffians took place ; however, it is confidently hoped, from the known activity of the neighbouring Magis trates, they cannot long escape the arm of jus tice. In the execution of their diabolical design, the villains dropped a pistol, which was found next clay, anti may assist in leading to a disco very. NVe are glad to learn that John Brogan is likely to recover.--An inquest was held on the.. body of Michael Brogan, by Mr. Pierce, Coro ner, who returned a verdict of Murder gtoinst some person or persons as ye" taiknown. Mr. Cotrrrs, the Banker, is teriowly indisposed at his new married bady's cottage at the fuoi nighgate Ui'l. 1 M PLRI :t I.

COMMITTEE OF SUPPI.V. On the motion of Mr. VESEY FITZGEpAttI, for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, and the Speaker having left the Chair, that Right Hon. Gentleman moved several Grants for Irish Charitable Establishments,. and other Ettdowiuents in Ireland. Ile stated, that as he had given his notice so recently, he 5110111(1 defer propo..iing any which could partake of a political character, or which could give rise to any diScus sion. The following were then voted : prildin Society Farming Society . 5,000 Founillii Hospital 15. 800 House onndustry • • Hibernian School 9,545 *;arise School v.:. 1,945 .Feniale Orphan House Lock Hospital Lying-in-liospit3l Sir Patrick Dunn's Hospital Stephen's Hospital Fever Hospital 5,000 Hospital for discountenancing Vice Cork Institution , i 2,503 Cireen Coat Hospital, Cork Belfast Academical Institution 1,500 Atter SOME observatioß6 from Sir JOHN NEW PORT, the Report of the Resohttions was ordered to be received fp-morrow. COMMITTEE OF Wias .\ND MEANS._ The Order of the Day being B oned foe the Committee of Wayq and :Means ; Sir Jonze NEWIORT opposed the Speaker's leaving the Chair. He objected to this mode of voting the Supplies by piece-meal, and ‘vithout any financial exposition of the state of the even try. The delusion prevailing with respect to the resources of Ireland was great ; and it would be adding to it if the House supposed that they were to receive any aid from that country to the c.tent that the Right Hon. Gentleman titoght them to expect. The Duties about to be proposed might be good 0ne...; ) but he objected to the mode of proceeding. Mr. W. V. Ferzune,en said, that if any delu sion prevailed with respect to the financial situa tion of the country, that delusion was hot honor ; able to him. He, on the contrary, had always stated to Parliament the circumstances in which Ireland was placed : and he had not concealed from Ireland the sacrifices that she would be call ed- upon to make. lie had dosired to make no partial statement ; but he 'apprehended that the course which, with the approbatiou at the House, hie Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Vansittert) had proceeded on in this country, was egettliy open to him to follow, nay, he took blame to hueself that he had not followed it before. Were not the Votes of Supply, were not the Mili.ary aed Natal Votes granted for the joint service of the United Ic.ingdom? Was not the achnitteddeficiency of the Irish Revenue ; was not the statement of the Right Hoe. 13aronet himself a sufficient justi fication of the proceedings ? It was idle to deny it. What now was lie blamed for ? He would an ticipate, if tie were permitted, the sitting of the Cotninittee for a moment or two, and would meution the nature of his resolution. He had sometime since mentioned to the Right Ilon. ronet, that he had new Duties of Customs iii contemplation ; that which he :eves about to pro pose was a duty on tobacco equal to that lately laid on in Great Britain, Parliament having re, cognised the principle of assimelatiou ; mind lie was only anxious that the Resolution should bear this date, that the importing merchant in Ireland might know the duty lie would be liable to pay from this date, upon the passing at the Bill, and not have to complain of any surcharge of which he had not full notice. Would hot this be pre ferable to waiting until after the importation from the United States, and be obliged either to tier.e stock on hand, or to allow the vender to raise the price of his commodity by the full amount of the new duty which the public, as consumers, would pay, and the Bevenue receive nothing ? In compliance with the expressed wish of the Right. Hon. Baronet, he had declined movl: ing this duty when the English diaty was impos ed ; but the ratification of the 'Treaty of (ihent had made it necessary to lose no farther time, if we would have a productive source of revenue.--r The Hon. Baronet had wished for an exposition of our resources before he voted any thing. Did be then think that we had i redundance ? Did he not himself tell the House, on a former night, the fearful amount of our deficit Die he not know that no Budget could be brought forward for Ire, lend until after the English Budget was stated— until the estimated expenditure of both countries was ascertained - , and the shore of Ireland's cowrie bution to the joint account fairly stated ? If the Right Hon. Bart. wished to d , .‘fer it for the purpose of having fulldiscussion, lie apprehended that he Was affording him the means of that discussion, by not waiting until that time arrived. He had only one other point to notice, which he would take this ocreasion of doing ; that sensible as he was of the great importance of a review of our finances, and far from wishing to create delusion or prolong it, he would now give notice, that either he, or his Right Ron. Friend, the Chanct.llor of the EY,.che, quer of England, would, probably on the first day after Parliteuent met again, propose the revival of the Committee of Finance, in the hope that they would be able to present to the House a fair view of our reeout. , .vs and of wants, in WhiCil he should b : glad of the Right f lee. Geetleman's assistance.

Gentleman was satisfied, he could prevent strioN gliitg, periiaps his propcfscd citify 'night be pro ductive he thought, that the smuggling -would greatly increase, and in that case th.r Right lion. Gentleman would be disapp.i:otA, Ile would not oppose his duty. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD iVas fully aware that there was nu article liable to high customs duty, of which stunggling was not encouraged to a cer tain degree in augmentation of the duty ; but this apprehension would greatly affect all custom duties, lie was it-Witte too of the facilities atfordt ed on our western coasts. All this however would reignite increased vigilance, and as it was under the contemplation of his Majesty's Gr 7 overnmett to employ a portion of the light naval force which would he kept up on the termination of the war on such stations as might best prevent smuggling, a considerable part of it would be found more effectual than the Revenue Cruizers hitherto employed. Sir JOAN NEWPORT replied, if •the coasts of Ireland were well protected during peace, it was more than could be said of them du .ing the war. BIGAMY Sir S. ItomiLt.r moved for leave to present a Pe tition fronm a person named Murray, convicted of bigamy, and under sentence of transportation , ---• He admitted that it was, in trust cases, extremely inexpedient for the House to interfere with de cisions of Courts of Jwstice with respect to civil and criminal verdicts ; but this was so peculiar it ease as to be worthy of their consideration. Ti: kiwi. Gentleman related all the particulars which transpired at the trial ; stated that the man had been entrapped into a marriage in a private roorn in Ireland, whop at the age of eighteen, with a tvr;man older .than himself ; that sevt.ral. years .after he married another female in this,,„ country, who was fully apprised of his first marriage, and whose friends %vete convinetql it was illegal ; that the second %vile was 110 party to the prosecution ; But time second-marriage was nut proved by any witnesses. On these facts being produced, the Counsel requested the Recorder to save the points for the opinion Of the Judges ; but it was understood that they had not been saved. After enlarging npuu the laws relating to marriage, he stated that art application had berg. made to the Attorpey.Wieperal for his ifat to pre-, vent the exception of the sentence, which had been retired on the ground that nothing was n 4 the face of the Record. to require it. tie . then alvir i ed to present a Petittoll for Pardon , I ' ll 4 the only answer lie received from the Secretary of State. was, that he would be sent to Betell jay, amongst the convicted felons, . Sir H..iNicoiTtio;rEav said, that. the character of ft's person was not understood, and that if ht; did u•rt deserve to be transported for felony, he ought to be for the offence of swindling, as he had gut the property of a young woman, to time ammutt of four or five hundred pounds, and jell mediate)) , after the marriage deserted her. Mr. ADD;NUTUN, after • complimenting the Learned GefitlClllttil CAA iris 14unit nity, observed, that the Secretary of 6tatc, en rucking the tit ion, had deemed it necessary to take some steps before making up his mind that it ought to be presented ; anti therefore, as the matter was still puthling, he trusted the Learned Cientletntin wouttl withdrmv his Petition. After a destitto:y conversation between Dr, Duigenan, Mr. Lot:lo:9re, Mr. iiathurst, and Sir Routilly, the Learned Gent4to4qcunsented to withdraw tilt!. Petition. Mr. Gltw.vret.t. gave notice, that oo Wedues. day, April 12, he should move far the production of some Accounts and Statements which had re ference, chietly to the public -Balances in the hands of theliank of 14tigland, He bt:ggctl tn• observe, that the Paperi for which he should move would be limited, according to his present intentions, to the continuation down to the pre sent period, of those Accounts which were pro duced to the committee on Public lixpenditurrif in the year 1507,. and which will be round under the title of " the Bank," in the . ..),(1 Report of that valuable volume of Reports which that Committee had laid before the House, He ‘would add, that his sole object in moving for these accounts, would be, to put the House into a condition fop considering whether the business of the public, now transacted by`the Bank, might not be donc' by the Bank at a kris vNpence thim the pul4io now pay for it. ALIEN ACT. Sir JOHN NEWrDRT, alluding to the conduct of Sir Jaines . Duff in preventing certain Spanish snb jects from quitting Cadiz, contended that he haci thrown hack the charge of improper conduct on the heads of certain branches of the Government at borne. After entering into a history of the Alien Act from its instittitiPP, Pn the breaking' out of the revolntionary yar, and i';‘ revival in 18f,3 t he observed, that. the object of this Act was to at, ford an asylum in Circat Britain for any oppres44 Foreigners ; but though many persons Imight have been subllcted to great hardships tin'tici , the operation of the Act at different tittles, it had never heen supposed that. any powers 114‘i been usurped by interior Officers. %%That then must be the surprise of himself, and the }louse, to find that in answer to the dispatch of Earl Bathurst to Sir James Duff,- of the 2()th of Nor ventber, 1614, calling upon hint tq state on what grounds he lnid refused to grant passports to Spanish subjects to leave Cadiz ; he had answer, ed, that he had acted in direct conformity to his instructions, receive ‘l almost two years before, which were, to allow no Spanish subjects to leavg that country in British vessels, ‘vitliont the slner tion fit his (mu passports, and also to request that all British subjects should cc.intertu tC) regulation, which be (Sir John) understood renewed at the request of the C7avrrnPr of Cadir.: i n D ec e m b e r 181.1, .‘vbc;; the poriotic suhicc4 Ferdinand were flyina from his detestable Linycra, merit.
