tune, however valuable it might be on a question of law. He begged to deny that the statement made by the Hon. Member could he justified by the fact. He knew that there did exist depression in the manufactures of Ireland, but with respect to the agriculturist; there was no such distress as Ind been described. He had only now to observe that as the forms of the House would not allow him to pro pose an amendment to the motion of his Hon. Friend, he should be : compelled to meet it by passing to the Order of the D.iy for the report on the Committee of Supply. To show, t.owever, that he had no disposition so to get rid of the question, he should move, in the event of his Hon. Friend's motion being negatived, as resolutions to which he invited the concurrence of the House,— " That whereas his Majesty was graciously pleased, in answer to an address of that House, to assure the House on the 27th June, IS2I, that his Majesty would cause an inquiry to be made int i all the departments of the civil Government, with the view of reducing the number of persons employed in the various offices, and the amount of salaries paid—Resolved, That an humble ad dress be presented to his Majesty, that his Majesty might be graciously pleased to lay before the House an account of the pro gress which had been made in such inquiry, and of the measures that had been taken in consequence. Also, that it was the opi nion of that House, that, in every establishment of the state, every saving ought to be made consistently with the due perform ance of the public aervice, and without the violation of existing engagements." (These Resolutions were received with much cheering.) Mr. CROKER.merely rose to mention some facts con nected with the department to which he belonged. - The balmiest of the Admiralty officers amounted in 1797 to 14,1401., they now amounted to 25,6001., being, appa rently, an enormous increase. But if they referred to the report of the Finance Committee in 1799, they would find that although the naked salaries eo nomine, amounted only to 14,1401., yet the real StinOune of salaries and gratuities was 27,0001., being 2,000/. a year more than the present amount. This statement was not his, but that of the Finance Committee in - 1797. The following, however, was equally correct. In 1797, the salary of the First Lord of the Admiralty was 3,0001., it was now about 5,000/. The salaries of the other Lords were the same as at present. The salary of the First Secretary in 1797 was 5,4001., it was now 3,000/. ; the salary of the Second Secretary was then 1,9201: it was now 1,500/. ; the salary of the Chief Clerk was then 1,400/. ; it was now 1,1001. In the Navy Office the expence was much the same in 1797 as it was at present, and the expences of the Admiralty office was greater in 1'797 than they were now. With respect to the increase in the salary of the First Lord of the Admiralty, it happened thus: Lord Barham was the last who received only 3,000/. a year.— His thought this too little, but he had too much delicacy to smy so while he retained the post. Resigning the office upon the coming in of an hostile Ministry, he left behind him a declaration that the salary ought to be raised. This declaration fell into the hands of Lord Grey, who agreed with Lord Barltam, and thus the salary was raised. Mr. SPRING RICE complained of the very unjust at tack which had been made upon him by the Hon. Secre tary for the Treasury. The Hon. Secretary had repre sented him as being in possession of evidence that no dis tress existed in behind, and yet, as waking a statement in direct contradiction to that fact ; at least so he had under stood, he hoped, misunderstood, the Hon. Secretary, for no accusation could be more unfounded. He had not gone for evidence to the sources from which the Hon. Secretary derived his, but he had taken his evidence from a docu ment published by an excellent society, upon whose accu racy and means of information he could safely depend. He pledged himself to bring down on Monday, the docu ment from which he had taken his information, in order to show with what little foundation he had been attacked. The question of the currency had been dwelt upon by his Hon. Friend, but he (Mr. S. Rice) did not wish that the currency question should be mixed up in that of reduction of expenditure. On the one question there were serious differencea of opinion amongst those who were all agreed in the necessity of strictly enforcing the other. He hoped therefore that the two questions would not be mixed up mm this occasion. Before he sat down he must congratu- Lt. the House upon the statement of his Hon. Friend, made in so Blear and convincing a manner, respecting that alteration in our monetary system which would bring us bark to the good old monetary system—a silver standard. Mr. DAW SON was glad to take the earliest possible opportunity of assuring his Hon. Friend (Mr. S. Rice), if be aworld allow bins so to call him, that he had never meant directly or indirectly to charge bins with having gated any thing to the House which he did not himself fully believe ; but he owned he was somewhat surprised at what had fuller from his Hon. Friend on the subject of the state of Ireland, as it appeared to him to he different from what he had been stating to him in conversations on the same subject---and he had supposed that his mind had been prejudiced by some representations made to him by the lime. Member for Clare. Mr. S. RICE was glad to hear the explanation of the 'lon. Member for Derry. Sir GEO. WARRENDER congratulated the House on the able speech of his lion. Friend the Member for Cumberland. Such a speech, favourably received as it was by the House, would prove to the people that a House of Commons did exist and was disposed seriously to attend to their wants. He would now ask one question, which he laved would receive an answer from some gentleman on the (Treasury) bench below him. What lie wished to know was, whether it was the intention of Government so make any increase to the salaries of any of the offices in, fiNtland ? Mr.. O'CONNELL would not obtrude himself for a imminent on the attention of the House, but to set himself right as to a statement by the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Dawson). After the very luminous statement made by that Hon. Member, be adverted, by way of interlude, to something which fell from him (Mr. O'Connell), in which he seemed to infer that he had contradicted himself as to an opinion on the state of Ireland. The authority brought sgeinst him by the Hon. Member was that of Mr. Latoneho; but be could state to the House, that at a meeting of the Society for the Improvement of Ireland, Latouche stated, that Ireland was in a state less dis• gassed than England, hut that was immediately negatived by the meeting. He (Mr. O'Connell) gave it a contra diction in detail, and Mr. Latouche took a week to reply to him, but when be did so at the next meeting of the society, he was silent as to the state of Ireland. With respect to the information which may be acquired as to the state of the couotry, the Hon. Member was mistaken if he supposed that ample opportunities for gaining it did not occur in professional pursuits such as his. He had ~,a ny such opportunities forced upon hint inn th.e course of his practice, and he could state from the best authority, that a client of his, with an estate worth &DOM a year some time hack, did not receive more than 1001. at the last rent day. - • • Lord MOLPETH said, it was not necessary to occupy much of the attention of the House when all seemed to be agreed in the general principle. He was much grati tied at the speech of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Cumberland, not less by the importance of its details that, for the patriotism of its sentiments. It was to him a ;water of indifference nitetbar the motion of his Hon. Ft iced, or the resolution of the lion. Gent. opposite, was agreed to. In either case the House were about to give a new pledge to the country of reduction anti economy. The Hon. Member for Essex had expressed himiteifoppoaed to the motion of his Hon. Friend, on the ground of his look ing to other plans by which he considered that an arrange ment would be made in the way of adjustment between the public creditor and the country ; but even supposing that the lion. Member looked forward to some suelt mea sure, he would be the more bound in honour and con science not to resort to it, until lawful means had been tried anti Csund unavailing, for there was no doubt that each a plan would involve a violation of a legislative en gagement. However, all those who were favourable to such a 'Denote oualit in the first instance, if they were sin cere, to unite and do all in their power to procure die strieteet attention to economy and retrenchment. And here he could not: avoid alluding to a Right Pon. G e ntleman, unhappily now no more, who had die sWguished himself throughout a long political life, by his parieat, steady, and disinterested attention to economy. It was hardly necessary f. , r him to say that he meant the late Air, Tierney.--(Hear, hear.)—That Right Hon. Gentleman had done himself more credit by his steady perseverance in the.efforts to produce ecouotnieal reduction than belonged to the successful struggles of more fortunate though not more deserving individuals.—(Hear, hear.) — He (Lord Morpeth) was happy to hive the opportunity in that House, which his late Right Hon. Friend had so often enlivened by his wit, and enlightened by biz wisdom, of paying that tribute to his memory.—(Hear, hear.)-- With respect to the motions before the House, he was glad j of them, and he would support either, for both would be equally productive of good. Mr. HUME expressed the satisfaction be entertained, in common with the Noble Lord who had just sat doWn, at the course proposed by the Hon. Member for Cumber land, and also at that moved by the Hon. Member (Mr. Dawson). It was of little consequence which of them the House adopted, but if he must make a choice, lie , tinuld prefer that of the Secretary for the Treasury, because it appeared to him less shackled and most effective. When a similar address was carried to his Majesty in 1820, they found that in the next year the reductions niatle amounted to 2,000,0001. If the House attended to this address, and watched the votes atter it, they would find that retrenchment would go on, and would nut have - to witness an increase of expenditure which had been going on since 1822. Indeed, such was the neglect of many Members on this head, that he was surprised Ministers did not spend more, for there exlsztd no effectual controul over them. On nights when the '•stianates were to be discussed, it often happened that they could hardly get Members enough to make a House. After observing upon the necessity of constant watchfulness on the part of the House, the Hon. Member went on to re mark, that the country was now in a condition to Call on his Majesty for every kind of reduction; for that his Ma • jesty, whenever he wanted money, never failed to come down to that House to state his wants. Now, when the distress of his people was admitted by his Ministers, it was high time that their distresses should be considered, and every means taken to alleviate them. Sir J. WROTTESLEY was gratified at the motion, and whether that 6r the amendment was agreed to, it would do some good, but either or both would not be suf ficient to relieve the distresses of the country. _ _ . Mr. W. DUNCOMBE expressed a hope that Minis nisters might be induced to take the whole state of the country into consideration. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said he had been forty-five years a Member of that House, and during that time he had acted with that party called the Whigs; but that party was now almost gone from his side of the House, and he was left nearly alone. However, that was not a reason why he should oppose Ministers if he found them acting for the good of the country. Looking at the situation in which the country was placed, he thought it wrong to attribute it to Ministers. They did not bring on the war. He was one of a very small minority who opposed that war, and predicted some of the calamities which would re sult from it, some of which were now unhappily in opera tion. He did not blame them, nor would he give his con fidence to those who, stating the distresses of the country, would have it believed that they only could find a remedy for them. It ought not to be forgotten that the present Ministry had done much for the country since their ac cession to office. In confirmation of this, it was only ne cessary to allude to the emancipation of the Catholics, and consequent settlement of Ireland, which was in itself suf ficient to entitle them to the lasting gratitude of all who had at heart the domestic tranquillity of the country.— ( Hear, hear.)—He had formed no connexion with the Members of this Administration, and might therefore put to their most inveterate opponents a disinterested question. He would ask, where were they to find a better?—(Hear, and laughter.)—He certainly wished for economy and retrenchment to be most rigidly pursued in every de partment where they could properly be brought into opera thin. The enormous expences of the Crown ought to be diminished, the charges for building palaces should be looked to, and the expenditure curtailed.—(Bear, hear.) —Part (if the existing distress might with justice be brought Otte to the landed proprietors themselves, who were loudest in reproaches and complaints, as they, by in dulging in unreasonable expectations, were in fact the au thors of their own grievances. The value of their estates, of 2,000/. per annum, had been raised to 3,000/. or 4,0001. a year in the time of war,--such at least, was the case in his own neighbourhood ; and these gentlemen now modestly wished to continue at the war prices, when every thing about them had undergone so material a change. It was impossible to satisfy demands of so preposterous A nature, and equally impossible to convince them by ra tional argument so long as it was their interest to resist conviction. He could mention an authentic anecdote of a fat mer not far from where he resided, which somewhat curiously illustrated this feeling, so common amongst his fraternity. At the time when Buonaparte had unexpec tedly emerged from Elba, and made his memorable irrup tion into France, a country dealer was driving his herd of pigs to market, when he chanced to be informed of the event. Meeting a gossip of a neighbour, he began to give utterance to sad misgivings as to the result of the sale of his sixty pigs. But on being told, in reply to the usual inquiry for news, that Nap (for that was their pet name for the French Emperor) had gone back again to France, he answered with great delight, that if that was the case he would drive his pigs back again instead of offering them in the market, which he actually did.— (Loud lauughter.)—This story, he could assure the House, was perfectly correct, as he was able to vouch for it him self. He would not have Ministers taken all of a sudden, and loaded with charges which had neither been dispas sionately considered nor temperately brought forward. Let them be allowed a fair trial, for that was only their right, more especially as they had already done great things for the country, and uniformly acted upon liberal and enlightened principles. The distress of the popula tion, in his opinion, was not owing to any fault of theits, and could not be justly laid to their charge. What could they be expected to do for its reliel?—(Hear, from the Opposition.) They had not the use of Aladdin's lamp, nor were any of the Genii in the Arabian Nights' Enter tainments at their disposal. What, then, could thee do? Some had suggested a paper circulation instead of gold ; but to such recommendations he was in limine opposed. A measure of this description would only create a fictitious base currency, with nothing to support it, and which therefore would draw down ruin en their heads in a year or two after its first issue. Whatever might be our present distress the remedy recommended would prove worse than the disease.--(Hear.) Mr. Secretary PEEL spoke to the following effect:— As I understand the Hon. Member for Cumberland is dis posed to withdraw his resolutions, and to accept those which have been moved by my Hon. Friend, I shall con fine myself to a very few observations on the question be fore us. But as a direct allusion has been made by the Hon. Baronet to me and my financial measures, I think it necessary to say something in answer to his remarks. I did not expect that the Hon. Member would, on the present occasion, have introduced the consideration of the best means of establishing our currency on a better footing.— This is certainly not the most convenient opportunity of discussing that subject ; arid if, therefore, I do not fully answer the Hon. Baronet's appeal, I trust that neither he nor the House will imagine that it is from the slightest de sire on my part to shrink from the investigation of the question whenever it may come before us in a distinct and tangible shape, Still, however, I cannot allow even this opportunity to pass, without stating that the Hon. Ba ronet, in the course of the very able speech which he ad• dressed to the House this evening, made admissions on the subject of the currency which tend completely to relieve ate from all responsibility for the introduction of the Bill of 1819. If the Hon. Baronet be prepared to act on the principles which lie asserted, I will declare without hesi tation that should the situation of circumstances recur in which the country was placed in 1819, he would be bound in his own principles to support me in a repetition of the measures of 1819. Sir, whenever I upproach the discus sion of this question—of this extensive, complicated, and important question, I shall forget all political, or rather all party considerations; I shall forget all the violent im putations which have been thrown upon me of Laving lent myself to an act of cruelty, fraud, and robbery ; I shall ask the House deliberately to consider the position in which we were placed in 1819 ; -and, perfectly content to adopt the principles of the Hon. Baronet, I shall inquire if there was any alternative—if there was any mode by which we could have escaped the evils by which we were at that pe riod threatened, other than by the adoption of the measure which 1 introduced into the House. It is not the measure of 1819, but, as the Hon. and Learned Member for Dur ham justly observed, it is the measures which preceded that measure, and which imposed upon us the necessity of adopting that measure, to which all the distress resulting from the restoration of a legitimate currency ought to be attributed. What you had to decide at that moment was, whether you would revert to a legitimate standard, or whether you would continue to stiffer all the inconveniences and evils of the existing state of things. If you adopted . any standard in preference to the existing state of things, it was inevitable that you must cause a great pressure on the country. And here I beg to touch on a very important subject. What are the principles which the Hon. Baronet has laid down with reference to the immediate question be fore us? The Hon. Baronet says, " I am content to take as the basis of my proposition the Civil List as it was eats. Wished in the year 1820, because the faith of Parliament was pledged to the amount fixed at that period." Sir, I can not state too highly the importance which I attach to that declaration. I perfectly agree with the principle thus as serted by the Hon. Bart. with reference to the Civil List. But, I a.sk the J-lon. Baronet if he be prepared to adhere to the C,ivil List of P2O, because the faith of Parliament was pledged tea its amount, whether he will refuse to adhere to those engagements which, during the continuance of the war, Parliament made at successive times with the public creditor ?—(Hear.)—l perfectly agree with the Hon, Ba ronet that we ought to adhere to the engagement which we made in 1820 with respect to the Civil List; but I will tell hint, that no engagement which Parliament en tered into in 1820 ought to be held more sacred than the engagements which, at various periods, Patliainent en tered into with the public creditor. Every lean that was contracted during the war was contracted with the distipct understanding, that after the conclusion of the war means should be adopted for its liquidation. 1 think that the Hon. Baronet, with the principle of integrity which belongs to his character, will find it difficult to contend that bacatiae the public creditor made his bargain with the Government at a time when, from peculiar eircumstances, the cur e rency was in a state of depreciation, he was not entitled to be repaid on the conclusion of the war, and when the Bank had returned to its original system. In truth, Sir, it seems to me that the only difference between the Hon, . - Baronet and myself respects the standard which ought to have been established. The Won. Baronet would prefer joint silver and gold standard—l prefer a standard of gold. On this point I will not now touch ; but when the proper time shall arrive, I will state to the House the rea sons which, in 1819, induced me, in concurrence with the .ipinion of some of the ablest men in the country, to adopt a single standard, and that of gold. But, Sir, if that really be the only difference between the Hon. Ba r art and myself, then I say that at least twenty of the five and twenty per cent. of pressure resulting from the restoration of a legitimate currency would have been pro duced by the Hon. Baronet acting on his own principles, and establishing his joint standard. The Hon. Baronet's admission, therefore, is most important to my ease, I trust the House will remember the eloquent and impres sive terms in which the Hon. Baronet deprecated any abandonment of the system of currency which has been adopted. " You have it in your power (said the Hon. Baronet) to restore a temporary prosperity to the country ; you have it in your power to return to a small_ note circulation—and even a small-note circulation con vertible into gold. By adopting such a course, you will for a time raise the spirit of commerce—you will fur a time give a stimulus to enterprise; but this will be fol lowed by a corresponding exhaustion and languor ; and the former scenes of ruin and distress will re-appear." In every word of those sentiments I completely concur. I repeat, therefore, that there is no matetial difference of opinion between the Hon. Baronet and myself; and I am persuaded that I should in 1819 have had the powerful support and cordial advocacy of the Hon. Baronet. On another point of thr Hon. Baronet's speech I perfeetly agree with him. I am quite convinced that to permit the re-issue of small paper, although with the provision that that raper should be convertible into gold at the pleasure of the holder, would afford only a temporary and precari ous relief to the country. I believe that the inevitable con sequence of such a proceeding, although it might occasion a temporary prosperity, must eventually produce the depar ture of the gold currency. Experience has proved that a gold currency and a small-paper currency cannot co-exist. Sir, on this point we cannot argue from what takes place in Ireland and Scotland. The circumstances of this country are very different. If we were here to revert to the sys tem which we have relinquished, we might go on pro sperously for two or three years ; but the inevitable conse quences would be the departure of gold, an excess of paper, unfavourable exchanges with foreign countries, a sudden panic, a demand for gold, an inability to procure it—as it would be no answer to the demand to say " We have no funds," the instant reply being " We are entitled to it,"—a general and simultaneous rush for gold, ultimate disappointment, and general bankruptcy and ruin.—( Hear, bear, hear.).—Thus, Sir, we should greatly aggravate the evils which we are enduring, and again suffer all the cala mities through which we have recently passed. With re spect to my Hon. Friend's motion, I think the House will plainly perceive that it is preferable to the motion of the Hon. Baronet. For, certainly, it is but fair that before the House enters upon the consideration of what further reductions may advantageously be made, it ought to be in possession, in a connected form, of what reductions have already been made. I also prefer my Hon. Friend's motion, because the Hon. Baronet's motion is calculated to excite extravagant hopes that can never be realized. Nor was the Lion. Baronet correct in his statement of facts. For instance, he spoke of the increased pay of the army since 1797. Now the fact is that the pay of the army has not been increased since 1797. His illustrations of the statement were also exceedingly unfortunate; for they were all, Governors and Bishops, civil not military. I can assure the lion. Baronet that when he comes to deduct what has already been done in the way of reduction, he will, even on his own principles, entertain no sanguine hope of such further reduction as may lead to any great diminution of taxation. Such being the case, I hold it to be much better not to excite hopes, than to excite them as if for the purpose of disappointing them ; and on that ground I certainly prefer my Hon. Friend's motion. For the last resolution there is a precedent in a resolution which was agreed to some years ago, on the motion of the Hon. Member for Dorsetshire. Having stated, as my Hon. Friend has stated, that the Crown has diligently applied itself to such reduction as appeared advisable, we can have no objection to other resolutions, declaring it to be the opinion of this House that every further re duction ought to be made which can be made without. injury to the public service. I will now, Sir, add a few words on a subject of another kind. Much has been said in the course of the present discussion on the existing state of parties in this country. On that point I will frankly de clare that I am not aware of any accessions to his Majesty's Government which have been accompanied by the slightest compromise of principle.—(Hear.)—There is surely nothing dishonourable on the part of those who approve of the general policy of his Majesty's Government in giving their aid towards carrying that policy into effect. With respect to ourselves, our fixed intentions are simply to per severe in doing that which we believe it to be our duty to do. We are well aware of the state of parties, and of what may be the result of a combination of parties. In the course of the last year we did a great act of duty—an act which was certainly in contradiction to all our former sentiments ; but an act which I then believed, and which I still believe, was imposed upon us by a powerful and overruling necessity. Sir, I cannot now, for the purpose of conciliating the good-will of those to whom I gave offence by my concurrence in that act, say that I repent it.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—lntervening experience has convinced me that by pursuing the course which we did pursue on the occasion to which I allude, we averted from this country a great calamity, the pressure of which, if it still existed, would be now most painfully felt.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—Allowing that there is distress in Ireland, although not agreeing with some Hon. Mem bers that the distress is so extensive and universal as they describe it to be, believe me, Sir, that if we had refused to bring that long-agitated question of Catholic Emancipa tion to a close—if we had not persevered in what was con sidered by many persons as our obstinacy on that subject —lreland would at the present moment be in a condition eery different from that in which she actually is. —(Hear.) —I firmly believe that from the settlement of that great question greater benefits have resulted than even I had anticipated ; and that it has been productive of fewer dangers than I apprehended. Undoubtedly individual acts of atrocity have since been perpetrated in Ireland. But we must not judge of the general condition of the country by the acts of individuals, still less by the gross exaggera tion of those acts which have gone forth to the public. Of this I am persuaded, that the elements of future peace and prosperity have been established in Ireland. Ido be lieve that there is as complete an oblivion of past animosities among certain classes of the people as it was possible to expect in so short a time; and I have no doubt the example of these classes will generally diffuse it self among the rest of the comtnunity.—(Hear, hear, hear.) —Feeling, therefore, the loss which I have experienced in being deprived of the confidence of those whom 1 respected and esteemed, and feeling also the value of the sacrifices to which such a loss naturally led, I cannot repurchase that confidence by an expression of the slightest regret at the part which I took in that great ques tion.—(Hear, bear.)—l say, because I feel it to be my duty to say, that with a perfect knowledge of the painful results to myself, both as a private individual and a public man, of the part which I took in forwarding Catholic Emancipation, were the whole affair to be again trans acted, even were those sacrifices still greater than they were, I would not shrink from pursuing the same course. (Hear, bear.)—Sir, we made the great sacrifice which we did make for the public good, and for the public good alone. We have made, and we will make no sacrifices for the purpose of keeping office. We are determined to per. severe in that policy which we believe to be the most advisable , in that policy, which, while it enables us to maintain all the valuable institutions of the country, will induce us to apply to those institutions that temperate re form which change of circumstances may have rendered necessary. Whatever may appear to us to be conducive to the permanent interests of the country, we will in stantly propose ; but we will not propose any measure which cannot be lasting ; we will not, for the sake of a temporary and fleeting popularity, involve the country in a state of durable evil.—(Hear, bear.)—These are the principles of our internal policy, as the preservation of peace, if it can be preserved consistently with the honour and just influence of the country, is the principle of our foreign policy. Sir, I say it with perfect respect to all ; hut, whatever combination of parties may occur in this House, we feel that there is a prevailing good sense in the country, which, without reference to ultra-Whig, or ultra- Tory, will ultimately sanction and confirm the course which it is our intention to pursue.—[The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers Mr. ATTWOOD reminded the Right Hon. Secretary that he had subsequently abandoned every ground which had been laid down for the Bill of 1819. But for his Bill, according to his own admission salaries of public officers would have been lowered 25 per cent. Mr. PEEL had never intended to admit that the Bill of 1819 had caused an alteration in the value of articles to the amount of 20 per cent. He protested against such 4 conclusion, and was convinced that no issue of notes lower -than 5/. ought to be permitted, In conclusion, he hoped to see the day when a'l fetters would he struck off banking for ever. Mr. C. LUMLEY was glad to hear the Right Hon. Gentleman give an opinion as he had done that evening, that paper circulation and gold could not eo•eilst k this country. He said also that it had been hie intention to have supported the Hon. Member for Cumberland, had he persisted in pres.ing his motion. Before he sat down he desired to express his satisfaction at the avowed declara tions of Government on the subject of economy and re trenchment. Sir J. GRAHAM replied. He observed that his ob ject in wishing fora double standard was, that gold was getting scarce, and therefore debts would become more onerous. His preference of silver arose from its tendency to become more abundant. The only object he had in view was to force upon the Government the fittest mea sures for the benefit of the country, and he only wished that the Duke of Wellington—whose fitness for the head of the Government he was far from denying—would adopt such measures when the Noble Duke should have weighed the opinions of the House of Commons. He (Sir J. Gra ham) protested that he had no other motive than a desire to promote the benefit of the country, and he had no ob ject whatever in opposing the Administration. He can didly confessed that he thought the proposition of the Member for Derry (Mr. Dawson) was infinitely better than his (Sir J. Graham's), and it would give him ex treme satisfaction if it should be carried unanimously. It would show the people that the House sympathized in their distress, and would be a pledge of its good intentions ; and he (Sir J. Graham) was of Mr. Burke's opinion, tkat " plain, honest, good intentions, were of no mean force in governing mankind."---(Hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. The Report of the Committee of Supply was then brought up. Tjse other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at HALF PAST EtzvEti.

BA RNSLEY.—The long continued distress of this town has been greatly aggravated, if possible, by the prevalence of the late severe frost ; happily, however, the elements have at length released their gripe, and in con sequence a bustle has diffused through the staple manu facture of this town. Surely the energies of our Go ♦ernment will co-operate with the approaching spring, in enabling the honest labourer to live by the sweat of his brow.—Doncaster Gazette. It ought not to be . passed over carelessly, that Mr. Moogx (a brother of the illustrious officer who perished at Corunna, and), latenep . uty SeCretary at War, h as given up to the country his retired allowance of 8001. per annum, in consideration of the public exigencies. We are glad to find that Lord Caatnares generous example has not been entirely lost.— Times, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1830. Despatches, dated the Bth of December, were re ceived, this morning, at the Colonial Office, from Major General Sir D. URBAN, Governor of De merara. The great length of the Debate precludes us from making any comments, and from inserting other matters of interest. We have French and German Papers, but cannot give any extracts. Greece is quiet, and so is Constantinople, but in Greece it is at this hour idly believed that Candia will be included in the new territory. The speeches of the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABERDEEN will dissipate that hope.

Letters received from the Island of Mauritius, of the 10th Oct., bring information that the French expedition which sailed from Bourbon for Madagascar, has taken possession of Ting-Tinguhere. There is a fine port, and they have constructed forts, but unfortunately it is a very unhealthy spot. The private information from Paris, states that the Mi nisters are going to ask a vote of credit for 80 millions of francs for the Expedition to Algiers. Letters from Trieste, of the 27th of January, state that the discontents which prevailed in Greece have subsided ; they also say that Candia is to be added to the new terri tory of Greece. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 10.—There has been no variation in the prices of Cotton since our last, and the market con tinues steady. The sales this week are about 11,000 bales. The Guernsey papers received this morning bring the death of Peter Le Cocq, Esq., Jurat of the Royal Court The election of his successor is the general topic of con versation in the above island. THE THNDS. Our arrivals this morning are very few, and of no im- portance. Demerara Papers have been received to the 9th of De cember, but they are void of the least interest. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 92k to i for the Account, and for money 92k, with very little doing at present. The Foreign Market is also in a state of inactivity, and the prices much the same as yesterday.

The expedition by France against Algiers is positively de •ided on by the French Ministry. The information received from Paris this morning says, that Prince Polignae is determined to amuse the French nation with the expedi tion, but it is much feared it will not succeed. FUNDS. Although the Duke of Wellington's speech is very fa vourable in regard to the state •f the nation, it has not had the least effect on the funds.

In the course of last term Mr. Pepys applitd for the committal of two persons of the name of England for a cootempt, in cutting down timber and rooting up hedges, upon an estate which was under the controul of the Court by its receiver. Upon the application Eh Ing made, his Honour thought he should not be justified in committing the parties without reading over carefully alithe affidavits. Hie Honour on coming into Court this morning stated, that he had most carefully read all the affidavits, and as it did not clearly appear upon them that the Englands were fully aware of the possession of the receiver, his opinion was, that no order of committal should be made, hut if Mr. Pepys wished it, the Court would grant an injunction, restraining the Engla n d s from committing further waste. Mr. l'avvs expressed a wish to have that injunction, which was ordered accordingly. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SPIER V. ARNOLD AND OTHERS.

When Emond left the Court he remained silent till be had entered the Lock-up-house, when be begged the turnkey for a draught of water, which was given him; after which he asked for bread, which be also got, a nd ate greedily. He then demanded his day's aliment, to purchase pens, ink, and paper, and after some talk with Christie, the turnkey, received sixpence in' lieu of He exclaimed much against the evidence of Tait, saying, he never made such a declaration as that fellow swore to, to any person on earth, or until that moment when he acknowledged his guilt, and said he felt much relieved in consequence--adding, "I am now re.igned to my fate."--- . He ascribed his ruin chiefly to a haberdasher .in the Southside, who, he believed, was the cause of . the mischief between him and his wife ; but he had deter mined to publish the whole history of the case, as well as how the murders were done, and the great provocation he got. Nothing, he said, grieved him so much as the thought of his poor mother, who lives in Selkirk, and is now up wards of fourscore, as lie was sure his unhappy fate would bring her to the grave. He had also a brother, he slide for whom he was very sorry. While eating his bread he observed, " You may perhaps think I am a hardened man, but you are mistaken, I am not; and although there eau be no pardon in my case from man, there is pardon from ' the Almighty, and to that I trust." About five o'clock on Tuesday morning, Earned was taken to the Calton gaol from the lock-up-Loose is s hackney coach. On alighting and entering the'outer gate, and appearing to be in a very cheerful and communica tive mood, with a great deal of levity in his manner and bearing, he was accosted by an individual present ae follows " Emond, I think you ought to drop that levity now." He replied, " Mr. -, I am happier now than I have been since I was in gaol." Mr. then said, " I hope you are eased of a burden by having made confession of the facts." To which he answered, " I never denied them, but have to acknowledge the justice of God in all things." _ _ Mr. then said, " fmond, are you guilty of the murders or not?" He replied in the affirmative—" lem the naan who committed the murders, for which I am so justly condemned." He several times repeated the words, " -God is just in all his ways," with reference to his own case. This took place on his way from the gate to his cell. After the trial was over, a bed was made down for him. On his entering the cell sad looking at the bed, he said, " I supppose you have been prepared for me during the day." He was answered, " Not so; the; preparations have only been made since the trial was areluded." Ho then submitted very quietly to be ironed. During this conversation his firmness and self-possession continued en. shaken, and he slept soundly for several hours thereafter. —Caledonian Mercury. LONDON MARKETS. PRICES OF HOPS.-Feb. 12.
