( ' M ornin g Ckronicle I TuE QuEcx.—Letters were yesterday received in town, dated from her Majesty's Villa at Pesaro, 15th April, and an nouncing her departure for England en that day, and her Ma!jesty's intention of travelling hither without - stopping.— From .the expedition made by the Queen in her route, it is believed that her Majesty will arrive at Calais by the end of this week, where apartments are taken for her residence; and Lady Anne Hamilton, with other persons of her establish ment, have received an intimation to proceed to Dover to wait her further instructions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that his late Ma jesty bad left a Will. We suppose it was found by the present King on his late visit to Windsor. It is said, that his late Majesty, but a few days before his mournful calamity, ast conscious of its approach, ordered a master-key to be made, with which be locked up a drawer containing all his other keys. This master-key be delivered to General Taylor, with an injunction to preserve it in his custody, and deliver it to no one but himself, or in case of his decease to deliver it only to his successor. This key General Taylor delivered to the King on Saturday se'nnight.—(Bid.) [British Press ] A Gentleman arrived in town last night from Rochester states as a report prevalent in that 'city,at his departure, that the Queen bad arrived at Calais, and was hourly expected at Dover on her way to London. [New Times] The Funds underwent considerable fluctuation yesterday, and some very extensive purchases having been made in the course of the day. Consols left off nearly a half per cent. bet ter than at the opening. This was attributed by some to the circumstance of an eminent Jewish house having taken upon . itself the responsibility consequential on the account of a very extensive broker, who has lately been taken dangerous ly ill. By such an arrangement the account will be carried to its proper period of settlement, which, of clurse, must considerably relieve the market ; for in the event• of the account being settled, at present a depression must have ensued inconsequence of the vast magnitude of the trans actions depending. A more solid reason for the rise, however, appears to he the receipt of letters yesterday morning fronttslunchester, which state not only that a dispo sition has been manifested by the workmen to return totheir usual occupations, but that the orders for cotton goods . had so much increased, as to create in the town a bustle and activity to Which it had been a stranger for some time past. favourable alteration was not confined to the town of Man chester, but extended itself all over the neighbourhood: At Liverpool . several extensive orders in the cotton trade bad been received within :the last fete days, and the export busi ness continued extremely - brisk. . This CURRENCY. Lord KING moved for an account of the market price of standard 'silver. His reason for bringing forward this motion' his understanding that the market price of silver was now below the Mint price ; a circumstance which proved that the sil ver currency was rated above its actual value. With regard to gold, the Bank being constantly the buyer of that artiele,: at a rate not less than the . Mint prices, viz. 3L 17s. 10 1 ,11. that had be come the market priee and so continued. There not being a similar demand for silver, the prih of that article had fallen three half-pence per oz. or about one and a half per cent. belOw the Mint price. This, •iti his opiirion, pruvcd that the sil ver currency had been issued at too high a rate ; bow otherwise should the matketprice of silver be on a different footing here to what it was in every Other part of Europe ? Or how otherwise could such a difference haiie at all arisen ? His Lordship concluded by moving for the account mentioned, which was ordered. CIVIL LIST. The MAIVIeSS of LANSDowN, with a view to the question respecting - the Civil List, Which it was lately would soon - come before the asked whether it was intended to move the ap pointment of a Committee to take the subject into consideration, or whether it watintended to move for the production of any papers - for the purpose of giving infortuation to the House re specting the accounts relative to tiTe Civil List. The Etrl of LIVERPOOL saki, it was not intend- . ed to move for the dp pcfin tine t of Any Committee upon the subject ; with regard to papers; it would be found that the papers laid hefoie the [louse in 1816, when tl:c whole question was exotniued in another place itt the minutest detail, wet e amply sufficient' for all t i re purposes of iniormation. The Maripiess of LANK•sriowtz observed, t but though it was true the subject was minutely invest'. gated in 1816, yet it must be in the recollectiob of many, that a distinct pledge was at that time given, that on the occurrence of a new reign, the whole subject shonhl be open to the minutest investigation, it being obvious that during the continuance of the late reign it was impossible to obtain from any investigation the Wished for effect. He had heard with the greatest sAtistac don the declaration of hii Majesty froth the Throne, that he wished for no increase beyond the arran ge ment in 1816, 'and in that declaration he rtp6sed the utmost confidence. But inde• pendent of any question of economy, there was a (1"C8 ion in his mind of the greatest importance relating to the classification of the . different heads of expense, and the simplifying the accounts so that every man might be enabled at once to see, what sums were appropriated to the Crown and to the Royal - Family, and what to the purposes of the Civil Government of the country, having no reference to the expenses of the, Crown or of the Royal Family. The arrangement'of 1816 'stop ped short of this point,and it was upon this ground in particular that he wished a detailed inVesti gation to take place, in order that the simplifica.. don of the accounts to which he had alluded might be effected, and also what. be considered would be a great advantage, the complete separa. don of all the classes of expenditure connected with the Civil Government of the country, from the sums appropriated to the Crown and Royal Family. This would remove all Uneettainty tram the latter, whilst the former would be, like other charges, the subjects of estimates and of annual votes. He merely threW out these considerations without intebding to discuss the qtiestion at the, present 1110(11i111. 019 Lordship Cincluded by moving for tire re-printing of the accounts, papers relative to the Civil List laid•betore toe •Hotise in 1816. 'lire Eat' of LIVERPOOL said, there had been no precedent of the appointment of any Com. tnittee to investigate the Civil List at the curb mencement of a new reign, and he saw no re°. son why they should in this instauee depart troth the practice of their ancestors. It was true, that upon this occasion they ato,;(lnpon . vantage . ground. Every lri arch of the Civil List having been thoroughly and minutely investigated in 1816, not fOur yeari ago, but this rendered the more'tstinecesSary any inVestigatiOn now, ,par . denlarly as ;he . examination in 1816. rook place Whilst the Gov:Obuittot w.ty adiniuistered .by the [PRICE SEVENI'ENCF. Illustrious Personage now upon the ThrOne, who was then Regent. ; As to the suggestion of the NMrle Marq't . ass, ,of ,still tut,ther,separatiug the charges of the Civil Governutent nom the silt», appropriated to the'CroWn and the Royal Family, lie (Lord Liverp66l) doubted the . pracsieability, or at least the expediency, of. making any further sepaeation of these classes of expenditure, as' he not only saw no advantage to be gained from that course of proceeding, but he. ,thought the inStik• lion of the King and the Royal Family troal the Civil Government of the Country, wOnisi be rather prejudicial than otherwise, it being in a gteatde gree essential to the practice of the Cues it ut ion, that the King should remain erennetted as at pre sent with the - expenditure of the Civil Govern ment. As to the preventing of floonation, it must he obvious that the expynditureOf the Rept Household must be tvially liable to flucruation wish that of any priv!sie individual. He saw ,no advantage whatever to he gainetd by the investi gation suggested by the Noble -Iqapptess, that.of .1816 being amply sufficient fur ever y present purpose.. Lsrd Kt,NG, had it not been for what had been said by the Noble . Eatl, should have thought, a Committee almost a matter of coutse, and that no EWO Noble Lords scarcely could dilLfe aboin As to what was said about 1816, it was a - t >getber a fallacy, when applied to the present petiod -1816 was a year of tire most lavish expenditure, of the highest prices, and df a depreciated cur rency ; it must be obvious, therefore, that to give the same nominal- sum now was in tact a vtry considerable increase. This was a strong addi tional reason for the proposediovestigation. agreed also with his Noble _Frienti, that it w,as highly desirable to get rid of that extreme corn, plieation of accounts which at preSt eharecter ised the Civil List. 11,is idea ryas, that the Civil List should be so arranged as..to make it the inte rest of the Crown to he economical; at present, by the late arrangetireut,' there was no limit to the increase of expence; as in the class of foreign Ministers . , for instance, every appointment Wade entitled the party appointed, after 'a certain pe riod, to *half pay, anti thus there was a continent temptation to appoint persons merely with a view . of their getting that allowance. Was it made the interest of the Crown, by a new arrangement, to be economical, there might be a considerable The motion for repainting the accounts was agreed to.—Adjourned till to-morrow (!tlis tiay) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sotne Members took !be oaths, amongst whom wore Lord. Folkestone, Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, Sir ThoLmss Mmtyn, and:Sir W. U. Crespigny. • PRIVATE BILLS The SPEAKER communicated to too House, that he un derstood a inisunderStanditig prevailed amongst the Agents to• Private Bells. They bad supposed that the Bills were to be retaken up at the particular stage in which they were dropped -at the period of the-Dissolution. That was a mistake; for though it was ordered that no increased expense was to be incurred, and that the evidence then taken would be allowed, yet it was essential that every preliminary step shotild be again gone through. He mentioned the subject particularly, as to-morrow was the last day for receiving Petitions on Pri vate• Rills. It would be tor the consideration of the .lltotsc to ,say, whether, under the circumstances of site) a misconcep tion, it would not be proper to extend toe period fora week. —(llear, hear !) • Mr. IiOLNIE SUMNER, acting upon the suggestion of the Chair, moved that the existing 11,solution of the lio.we, as to the receipt of the Petitions on Private Bills, be rescind ed.—Ordered.---The extension of time for one week•was agreed to. Mr. K. FINLAY moved for an Annual Return of the Number of Gallons of Spirit diStilled . in Scatlanil,,from the year 1758 to. 1518, from Grain and Sugar, distinguishing toe saute. LONDON BRIDGE. Mr. WHITBREAD presented a Petition from the Middle sex Watermen of the hiversTirentes, complaining of the great insecurity of London Bridge, the danger lbws attended lite and property, and the interruption it gave to the navigation of the River. Sir W. CURTIS admitted that after the presentation of the Petition some inquiry into the state of bridge was ne cessary, although he believedit was not in the state of dan ger described. , . Mr. F. LLWISoaid it was highly necessary either that the Worthy Baronet or some other Member should bring the sub- • ject before the House, as unless something was promptly in troduced a most serious (lineage would he done to the naviga tion of the river below the bridge--(1 - lear, hear !) .. Sir %V. CURTIS said he ehould consult with the Trustees and other parties interested, and being the subject. subse quetruy under the consideration of Parliament. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, an inquiry tied been going on. for some time by the Trustees; but he tnought his Honoer able tsolleague had best leave the introduction of he subject of bringing it before Parliament to one of the Gentlemen who presented P(titions against the present state of the bridge. As one of the Trustees of the bridge in right of his (awl - CM - ate character, he declared himself quite prepared for inquiry. Mr. CALVERT thought something that essentially affected . the fact Was kept out of sight. The Corporation of London had an interest in • the Water-wotbs, with which. the taking down of London Bridge would interfere. As an Honourable Vriehd.of his (Mr..Tayler) was about to make steam engines emir:nine their own smoke, be might also extend his motion to .have the water there worked by engines on the proposed new construstion, rather than by wheels. Mr. Alderman WOOD assiired his Honourable Friend, that the City had no interest in the Water-works, except a small rent', which they would not hesitate to give up. The 'Petition was ordered to lie on the table. . , TAX UPON WOOL Mr. WILSON presented a Petition from the Merchants and Traders in Woollen Manufactures'residebt in the City of Lons non, prtying for the repeal of the Wool Tax, and for pro tection in their brand' of trade. _He considered that impost to have been mist unwisely laid, as the stele of the woollen manufactures at. the time by no means jostihed such an addi tion to their burdens. It had been said by those who pro posed its enactment, that instead of producing a rise, it would occasion a fall in the :nice of wool, hut the contrary hadhappened, and the wool trade was reduced to a condition - sottitith -worse than that I i which it stoedbefere the imposi tion of the duty, that the London Merchants had been ob liged to refuse an order for the supply of the Russian army, which they had been able to execute in preceding years., The mote he considered the subject, iby Inure, lie was convinced of the ilijuiiiruseffects of the duty. It was in .tact a bounty given to Colonial manufactuiers in opposition to those of the Mother Country. He implored his Majesty's Ministers to consider how witch better it wzr.r to repeal that relic at once, rather than to waited( an saccumulation of distress should render relief necessm . y. The Petition having been brought up and read, Mr. BARING ruse. /4e was ignorant whether the Hien. Member intended to follow up the Petition by moving for a Committee, bat lie could not seder this oppurtunity to pass
