BIRMINGHAM AND LONDON RAILWAY. TO S. E. THORNTON, ESQ. SIR,—As many persons, to whom consideration is a labour, are induced to embark in undertakings by seeing that they are promoted by those who from their connexion with commercial pursuits, or the situations they occupy, they conceive to be better qualified to form a judgment respecting them than themselves, it seems particularly incumbent on those whose names are put forward as de coys, to ascertain and to point out to the world in what respect and upon what groundi they recommend their scheme to public patronage, more especially when the scheme is of a novel description. Under this impression I call upon you, Sir, as a Bank Director, as a merchant, a partner in an old established house, that was woht to carry on business in an old fashioned way, to explain to the public the data upon which you call upon them to patronize the Birmingham and London Railway : it is more especially incumbent on you to do so, as, unless much mistake, the solicitor of that concern is a brother of your partner. You have therefore to shew that the object is not to give the said solicitor a good job, but to pro mote the advantage of the undertakers ; because, as is well known, the solicitor is never a loser, whatever the subscriber may be. What then is your advertisement?— It is a call upon the public to form a new mode of commu nication between the metropolis and Birmingham, when it shall be seen " whether the public expectation with re gard to the Railway now making between Manchester and Liverpool be not disappointed !" What then, even the success of the model held out for imitation is not certain even in your estimation ; are there not even in that work some very material points in which it has already disap pointed its projectors—first, have not the results of the lato,experiments shewn that it cannot bear without injury the heavy loads that have been carried on it with such useless rapidity? how else do you account for the post ponement of the opening? Secondly, and mainly, (for all these are questions of money,) is it not true that the ori gival estimate of this work was 300,0001., and do not its I lpatrons now admit that it will not be completed under a million ? But is there any reason because a Rail-road may succeed in one situation that therefore it will neces sarily succeed in another ?—are there no local advantages in the one case that the other does not posses ?—cau you inform the subscribers to your project what is the weight of goods that annually pass between Birmingham and London ?—can you assure them that there is one tythe of those proved to be passing between Liverpool and Man chester, or one-twentieth of what the promoters of the scheme state there are?—will there be no difference too in the.expense of the essential of your mode of conveyance, coal ; in the one case, the course is through a country abounding in coal; in the other, though one end of the line abuts on a coal country, every mile you travel from that extremity you recede from the very source of your existence ? Mr - wish is to gain information, and hieing adand - 44: ket, to know whether you are acting upon the suggestion of engineers and interested parties, or whether, as you ought to have done before you put forward yourself as one of the provisional committee, you found your claims to public support on some tiara that has convinced you that such a thing is wanted; and that whether in spire of the differences of situation, such as I have suggested and many others, you see a reasonable probability that the subscribers will be saved harmless; and whether you pledge your character as a merchant to those facts.-1 am, Sir, your's, May 14, 1830.

HEAVY GALE.—On Saturday afternoon and Sunday, it blew oae of the heaviest easterly gales that has been experienced in the Firth of Forth in May for a number of years. Neither the Stirling nor GraLgetnouth steam boats reached the Chain Pier on Saturday afternoon. The Velocity, for Aberdeen, was detained from Saturday till Monday, as was also the Brilliant from Inverness. The James Watt steam-packet sailed for London at five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, but finding the storm on the increase, the seamen brought her up under the shelter of Inchkeith, where she remained till Monday afternoon. The Wellington smack, which sailed on Tuesday with thirty convicts, was also obliged to return, end indeed such was the severity of the storm, that no less than 200 vessels were driven back to and above Inchkeith, some of which had been out for four and five days. Among the vessels driven back was the Laith ship Portland, which had sailed for Calcutta on Monday se'nnight. —Scotsman. ELOPEMENT.—The daughter of a respectable farmer, residing not fifty miles from a picturesque village in the neighbourhood of this town, lately eloped with a hero of the quill who had been rusticating with a friend in the vicinity. The enamoured youth (who is in his twenty-first year) is the son of a respectable solicitor in the city of London, and possesses all the qualifications requi site to win a maiden's heart. They first saw each other at church ; and it is understood that the language of the eyes was speedily exchanged for that of the lips. No sus picion was aroused in the parents, who never dreamt that their lovely daughter had any other followers except the simple hoydens in the village. One morning she was missing at breakfast ; and upon enquiry being made, it was found that Miss had been seen with a gentleman in a gig, at an early hour ; and from the direction in which he was driving, it was imagined that London was their desti• nation. On the following morning the mystery was cleared up by a letter from the young truant who confessed her passion and her flight. But she forgot to mention whether her lover had presented her with a gold ring; an over eight which we must charitably impute to the flurry of her spirits.---ltlaidstan• Gazette. X.

As long as the House voted the money now required, this, monstrous sys tem would be preserved. He would now examine the items of which the vote of 5,0001. was composed. Was it. right, or was it respectable, or was it decorous, that Judges should receive a petty paltry allowance of 171. 10s. for stationery ? They had salaries of 5,5001. a year, and they could well spare 171. 10s. It was at no time proper that they should have had it. The King's Counsel had an allowance of Si. Bs. also for stationery. Hs did not much object to it—it might be an old custom, and it was, perhaps, the only salary which they received— he there fore thought it was not worth talking of. There were various charges for messengers scattered up and down through thole estimates; and it required the utmost diffi culty to diScover how the accounts really stood. It would require ' all the assiduity and all the clearness of his Honourable Friend the Member. for Aberdeen to analyse them, and present a clear view of tlae sub ject to the House. Nothing could equal the complexity and confusion of the affairs of the Court of Exchequer. If any one took the trouble to look into " Maddox's Histcry of the Court of Exchequer," he could not fail to see that its complexity was beyond example. In that work he found a curious quaint old dialogue, in which a person, calling himself Gervasius Tilburiensis, takes a part, and which discloses, in a very striking manner, the state 'of-obscurity in- -svhich. that - Court was at the time when the dialogue was penned—namely in the reign of Henry 11. Gervasius was looking out of his tower at Til bury-upon-the Thames, and he heard a voice saying unto him, " Master, dost thou not know that treasure being hidden is of no value ?" Receiving an assent to that, the voice proceeds and says, " Master, dost thou not know that knowledge being hidden is also of no value?" Ger vasius assenting, is admonished that the knowlsdge pos sessed by him respecting the Court of Exchequer—know ledge possessed by so few, 'ought to be given to the public, and thereupon a History of the Court of Exchequer was compiled. The mode of doing business in it was then proverbially complex ; it had since become more so, and it now passed all understanding. Mr. G. DAWSON said, the preent vote had no more to do with the Court of Exchequer than it had with the Court of King's Bench. A salary was paid to the Usher of the Court of Exchequer, amounting to 1,839/., which was distributed as compensation for certain fees and other emoluments, and for stationery amongst certain offices of the Court of Exchequer. This sum was distributed in sums—ranging from 65/. to 1/. 3s. 7d. This arrange ment was adopted some years ago, and by it a saving of 5001. a year was effected. Lord ALTEIORP thought that his Hon. Friend had taken a very fit and proper opportunity for bringing the subject under the consideration of the House. It was admitted on all hands that the system of the Court of Ex chequer required revision, and the Finance Committee had expressed an opinion to that effect, but that, Hie others of their recommendations, bad not been acted on. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, as he stated, to explain the reason why the recommendation of the Finance Cominittee had not beer, acted on ; but having said so much, he directed his voice across the table, and dropped it toso low a tone as to become perfectly inaudible. Mr. HUME should strongly recommend his Honourable Friend to refuse the vote—to divide the House, and though it might not he attended with perfect success, the mere fact of the division would probably have made an impres sion on their minds which might hereafter lead to a benefi cial result next Session or the Session after. BERRIES said, that a change of system was in contemplation, and would be carried into effect as soon as possih'e. Mr. GORDON hoped he had attracted the attention of the House to the subject, and he trusted that the conse quence would be a change of system. Mr. HUME wished to ask a question of the Right Hon. Gentleman while they were upon the subject of messen gers. He had understood that previous to the present Session a King's Messenger was sent down to the Duke of Buccleugh, requesting him to move the Address. If that was the way messengers were employed, he must be allowed to say, that their business was net very important—he wished to know if his information was correct ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be impossible for him to speak to that particular case ; he had no recollection of it, one way or the other. _ _ . . Mr. HUME had little doubt that the flu'A was so. Mr. P. THONISON complained of the expense of Fo reign Mesengers—they cost three times as much as they were worth—air rather than what the business might be done for.—The vote was then agreed to. The next was a sum of 9.58/. ss. to he paid to certain Professors of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge for the delivery of certain lectures there.—Agreed to. This was followed by 13,7781. 2s. for the payment of the Salaries of the Commissioners of the Court for the discharge of Insolvent Debtors, and of other expenses con nected with that Court. Mr. WARBURTON saw no reason why the country should be put to so much expense for the Insolvent Debtors' Court, when the Commissioners of Bankrupts cost so much as 250,0001. It was to he observed, that though the sum was so great the emolument of each Commissioner amounted to only 5001. a year. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that the two Courts could not be juiced, because the Commissioners of Bankrupts had most important points of law to decide, and most enormous property to distribute ; while the In solvent Commissioners had no serious points of law to de termine, and no great property to dispose of. The busi ness transacted in the Bankrupt Court was of the greatest importance. M. O'CONNELL agreed that the.business of the two Courts was very different, but he did not find, in Ireland at least, that the Bankrupt Commissioners were very grave or learned persons; on the contrary, they were al most all young men, and not particularly attentive to busi ness either. He would also ask whether these young bar risters had not sometimes had a fee of ten guineas sent for an opinion in a case, which, under another name, came be fore them for judgment on the next day? Mr. WARBURTON said, that it was not by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's eulogising the Bankrupt Com missioners that satisfaction was to be given to the public. The opinion that he (Mr. Warburtm) had given was the opinion of the most eminent lawyers, as given in evidence before the Royal Commission three years ago. Nothing but a complete change of the Bankrupt Laws would sat;sfy the mercantile interest. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, that if the Insolvent Com missioners had neither land to divide nor money to distri bute, means might be found to lessen the expences of that Court very considerably.—(Hear.) Mr. P, THOMSON said, that under the present sys tem of Bankrupt Laws, there was not a merchant in ,Lon don who would not rather accept 59. in the pound than put his c,se into the Bankrupt Court, even with the pro spect of a dividend of 10a. or 15s. in the pound. Lord ALTHORP thought that the two Courts could not be united, because the Insolvent Commissioners had to go to circuits, which appeared to him to fre incompatible with the business of the Bankrupt Court. Ha could not admit that the Insolvent Commissioners had no legal pints to decide. After a few words from Mr. BATLEY, Mr. Svi:Ls, and JOIIN Woon, Mr. HUME said, that from all he had heard, the Bank rupt Court was one of the greatest nuisances ever inflicted on the country. The Commissioners in the Bankrupt Court actually practised at one time as Judges, and at an• other as Counsel in the very same Court. The Attorney-- General had stated that law was cheap in England com pared with other countries. What, then, did he say to the Bankrupt Court having cost 250,000/. in one year ? It was the grossest reflection on the Lord Chancellor, the Secretary of State, and the Attorney and Solicitor-Ge neral for the time being ; and if they could not find a way of attending to the complaints of the public on this sub ject, the sooner they gave up their offices the better. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that his lion. and Learned Friend had pronounced no eulogy on the Bankrupt Courts; he had only stated that the du ties of t!,e two Court., were so .dissimilar, tle,t it was im possible for both of them to be discharged by one set of Commissioners. . _ _ The•SOLICITOR.GENERAL said that whatever ac cusation might he made against him by the Hon. Gentle man, he doubted whether ally of the responsihiLty at tached to his office; lie had no more controul ov,r the Commissioners of Bankrupts than the lion. Gentleman, iiiinstlf had. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN did not object to the I , lrwilluals who were tha Commissioners of Bankrupt., nit be objected to the office, and the number of those Commissioners. There were seventy-two of them, some whom were both Commissioners and Advocates, and the must skilful of them were frequently employed to pro tect, before other Commissioners, the greatest seoundri!;s. Fie felt so indignant at these laws, that he could not do otherwise than protest, in the name of the cow nilrcial community, against them. Mr. D. W. HARVEY knew no difference between an insolvent and a bankrupt, except that which the law made. Mr. BRIGHT said that the whole question of the Bankrupt and Insolvent Debtors' Laws was far too im portant to be discussed on that occasion. He did not know a subject in which the whole community was more in terested than these laws, the whole of which needed revision. Mr. MONCK said a few word., enforcing Mr. Brig Les views, we under toed, but what the Hon. Member sa:d was not distinctly audible in the gallery. The vote was then agreed to, The next vote of 4,641. for the expense of the Alien Office, and Contingent Expense', was agreed to, alter a few words from Lord ALmoar. The vote of 21,1351. for the Penitentiary at "Milbank was postponed, in order to avoid discussion, after a few words from Mr. Hum's. The next vote was for 6,8821. to defray the charge of sunerannuation allowances and pensions of all the public offices. Mr. LENNARD complained that the Act regu!ating the superannuation allowanccs.was very unjust iu its ope• ration. Sir J. NEWPORT also considered that the operivion of this Act was unjust. Lord ALTHORP was understood to say, that be would not enter into the subject, as a Committee had been Ap pointed to inquire into it. There was, however, a point connected with that Committee to which he wished ti ad vert. It bad been some time appointed at the suggestion of the Right lion. Genttnati, but had never yet met. lie ha l I,cn a long time a Member of that House, but he was not aware how he ought to act on such an occasion ; or, being a Member of that Committee, he should have brought the subject before theA-lonse.----==-"= The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that being himself, as Well as •ac-veral other gentlemen who were Members of the Committee, Members of another Committee, he had discussed the matter with them, and it was agreed that lie should give them notiee of the day that the Committee was to meet. He hsd not yet fixed -that day; but, in the mean time, be was preparing the papers that were to be submitted is it, and was not willing that it should meet till everything was ready for it immediately to proceed to work. If the Noble Lord desired it, be vrAs ready that the Committee should meet to-morrow ; but be thought that it would be better not to meet till the papgis to be submitted to it were quite ready. He could assure the Noble I.ord that the Government was sensible of the evils belonging to the superannuation sysloem, and v.-as willing to remedy them. Sir H. HARDINGE also stated that the Government was not averse horn calling the Committee together, hut had delayed it as a matter of convenience. Mr. GORDON said a fewwords which were inaudible. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, stated that measures had already been taken that no per sons appointed to public situations, subsequent to last July, should be a burden on the public for their super annuation. Mr. MABERLY called the attention of the Committee to two items of the vote that were most improper and unjust—he meant the provision for the Retired Officers, Stamp Masters, and other of the Linen Boards of Scot land and Ireland. The Commissioners of the Scotch Board did not know what to do with the money allowed them, and they advertised for persons to point out th, means how they might best employ it for the encourage ment of trade. The Commissioners had a fund of the public money ; they had what they did not know what to do with, and therefore they pensioned off the stamp mas ters. The vote was only for 2751., but the payment ac tually amounted to upwards of 2,000/. These stamp masters, who were now pensioned, received a fee for stamping all the linen made in Scotland, and they did not stamp one piece in one thousand. The House bad put an end to this Board, and the gentlemen at Edin burgh, without the consent of that House, not knowing how otherwise to employ the public funds in their hand- , , gave pensions to these stamp masters. Such persons ought not to be quartered on the public, and it was not to be borne that the public money should be wasted in that manner. With respect to the Linen Board of Ireland, the Government had long granted a large sum for that Board, under the idea that it would improve the linen trade of Ireland. That system had been given up, and the grant devoted to pensioning the officers of the Board. He called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to put a❑ end to the Scotch, and, perhaps, to the Irish Boards, with all their dependents. Mr. DAWSON, in a low voice acron the table, de fended the Irish and Scotch Estimates. Mr. MABERLY contended that it was impossible to employ the money ♦oted annually for the encouragement of arts and manufactures of Scotland. Mr. HOME DRUMMOND said that the money was granted by an Act of Parliament, and it could not be touched without the Actwas repealed, although lie believed that the grant was now useless. Mr. HUME said it was public money voted by the House, and the accumulation mitht be disposed of by the House. He wished to know if the office of Secretary, vacant by death last year, was filled up? A place of 6001. a year was a convenient gift to a Provost of Edin burgh. The LORD ADVOCATE said that the grant arose out of an arrangement at the time of the Union, and that the accumulated surplus of the grant was applicable to Scotland exclusively. A report was printing, which would show how the fund stood. The Secretary had been cer tainly a Provost of Edinburgh, bat he had been appointed Secretary twenty years ago ; and at his death, although another secretary was appointed, he now acted without any salary. Mr. HUME thought it inconsistent to argue the case upon the pecuniary arrangements of the Union, for since that period England had spent vast sums on local improve ments in Scotland, such as the millon spent on the Cale (lonian Canal. The Learned Lord had argued that very Session, that the Union ought to be laid aside when the wants of the State required it; and his argument now was totally inconsistent with hie last.--(Cheers.) Mr. MABERLY said that the trustees had no right to apply the money to superannuations. Sir M. W. RIDLEY thought the blame rested on the House, for not sanctioning the recomatnendations of the Committee. Mr. HUME mentioned the superannuation of a Mr. Anstey, of twenty-seven years of age, who, after severs years of employment as Clerk of the Hunt, at a salary of 201., was allowed to retire on a pension of 401. a year. The Treasury Bench had given the House a pledge iu 1822, that every person qualified should be brought back to office, and no new appointments should take place. Now not one single individual superannuated had been brought back to his employment ; but new individuals bad been intro duced. —( Hear, hear.) The vote was then put and carried. The following votes were then passed without opposition 13,643/. 10s. for allowance to Toulosese and Corsican Emigrants, and to Dutch Naval Officers. 2,500/. for the Vaccine Establishment. Upon this latter grant, Mr. HUME observed, that the plan of granting su perannuations to retired officers of such institutions was the source of every sort of job.—(Cheers.) No superan nuation should he granted without consent of Parliament. Mr. DAWSON said, that a statement of increased salaries was laid before Parliament every year, and the superannuation were stated in it. On putting the vote of 3,0001. for the Refuge th e Destitute, Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he had no objection to the Institution itself, but it vise conducted in the most objectionable manner po4sible. Mr. Alderman ATKINS defended the Institution, but the coughing of the House prevented our distinctly hear ing his observations. Lord HO WICK insisted that the Treasury Bench should fulfil their pledge, and withdraw the motion. M. DAWSON withdrew the vote. The CHAIRMAN then reported progreu, and asked leave to sit again. The SrEmcr.rz resumed his seat. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the House, at its rising, agreed to adjourn to Monday next. MINISTERIAL EMOLUMEN rs. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, amidst a profound silence, rose and spoke as fol'ows :—Sir, I assure you that I very much regret that his Majesty's Ministers should think it consistent with their duty not to grant the returns for which I am about to move. I must confess that I am both sorry and surprised at their resolution. lam sorry, be cause it will entail on me the necessity of exciting your patience for some time—(Hear,. bear, bear) —and I am surprised, for I am at a loss to know.upon whit grounds they can intend to rest this measure. I feel in)self au strong in principle, that I think I may safely rest sity ea , e on a gemral principle alone, without resorting to any otiie ground. The general principle is, tu.3, tlac LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1830. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(LAST NIGHT). The Duke of RICHMOND presented a.petition from the city of Chichester, against the practice of allowing boys to climb chimneys; also a petition from the hop growers in Suffolk against any further duty en bops. Lord LITTLETON presented a petition from the So ciety of Surgeons in London, praying for ficilitits in ob taining subjects for dissection. The Earl of CARNAVON presented a petition from the parish of Randwick, Gloucestershire, complaining of distress, and praying for relief. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition Irons Roscommon, against the introduction of poor-laws into Ireland. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition from Kingston a g ainst the propos e d lic e nsing system; also one from Scarborough complaining of distress. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a pe tition from lielfast, praying that foreign corn might be permitted to be ground in this country under c..!rtain re strictions. Lord CLARE presented a petition from the Provincial Bank of Ireland, against the punishment of death for forgery. Also several petitions from the Branch Banks to to the same effect. The - Marquis of ANGLESEA piesented a petition from' the parish of St. Paul, Dublin, against the increased duty on British spirits. ' Also one from Athlone, against the impost of any extra duty on coal imported into Ireland. Lord KING presented a petition from the county of Devon, signed by 7,000 persons, in favour of the commu tation of tithes. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE presented a petition from a place in Cornwall, praying for the abolition of the punish ment of death in cases of forgery. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the Pro testant Baptist Dissenters of Ipswich, against Sunday labour. duals connected with this department were necessary or not ; but Government appeared to add one thing to another in the way of expence. He observed an item of 1,500/. a year for a standing counsel. He understood that the gen tleman who held that appointment had got another situa tion, but he did not know whether lie still retained that of standing counsel. Mr. S. RICE said there was no pc:son acquainted with the business of the Colonial-office, but must admit that the services of Mr. Stephen, the standing counsel, were inva luable. While on his legs, he would call the attention of the House to an office connected with the Home Depart ment, in which a saving might be mask. The office he spoke of was the Alien-office. If the Secretary of State for the Home Department were present, he did not think that he could state any possible ground, or point out any imaginable advantage that could accrue from keeping on our statute-book any portion cf the law for the regulation of aliens.—(Hear.) —So long as the laW gave a severe sane• tion to our sending aliens out of the country, although it was an impolitic, unjust, and atrocious law, yet it was ef fective and answered the purpose for which it was intended. But the law as it now stood served only to clog and em barrass commerce. He hoped, therefore, that his Hon. Friend would move for the repeal of that Bill, and thus get rid of the office altogether. Mr. HUME thought it was most preposterous thittitiveral of the,Packs inAhe Home Department not only received salaries lift their services in ttioffiCe;ltut deriVed further emoluments as agents for different colonies. _ _ Sir G. MURRAY did not, generally speaking, advocate the propriety of appOinting clerks as agents to colonies, but in these particular instances it was necessary. Sir J. NEWPORT adverted to the danger of allowing balances to accumulate in the hands of those agents, and instanced the case of a Mr. Chinnery, who at the very time that Parliament was voting large sums of money to meet bills of exchange that were drawn on account of New South Wales, had' very considerable funds in his hands. He was ultimately a defaulter to the amount of 18,0001. or 20,0001. After a few words from Mr. W.SMITII, Colonel DAVIES, Mr. HOME, and Mr. DA WSON, the resolution was agreed to. The following vo►es were agi ced to without observation :- 16,8581., to make good the deficiency of the fee fund in the departments of the Privy Council and Committee of Privy Council for trade. 8,0001. to defray the contin g ent expences and messengers' bills in the department of his Majesty's Treasury. The next resolution was for 8,0451. to defray the contin gent expences and messengers' bills in the department of his Majesty's Home Secretary of State, which, after a few words from Mr. HttmE, Mr. DAWSON, and Sir J. NEW PORT, was agreed to. The next resolution was for 34,750/. to defray the con tingent expences and messengers' bills in the department of his Msjestv's Foreign Secretary of State. Mr. O'CONNELL moved that this vote be reduced by 4,000/. Mr. lIUME—You may as well move that the grant be reduced by 10,0001. Mr. OtON NELL then moved that the vote he reduced to the extent of 10,0001. After an observation from Mr. DAWSON - and Mr. liumE, the vete was agreed to. . On the motion that a sum not exceeding 10,5001. be panted to his Majesty to defray the contingent expenses and messengers' bills in the department of the Secretary of State for the colonies for the year 1880. _ Mr. HUME inquired what the colonies wanted with messengers ?_ _ . Sir G. MURRAY explained, that more than half the amount of the grant (namely, a sum of 5,5000 was de voted to contingencies. Of these, the expenses of the slave registration office amounted to 596/. ; there was an allowance to reduced clerks of 9951. ; and the charge for preparing returns (so we understood) was considerable, 1,255/. These were some of the items that came under the head of contingencies. With regard to the expense of messengers, owing to the state of thjLevant, great expense was incurred by the necessity of communicating with the island of Curfu over land. Mr. HUME was quite willing to incur the expense of making out returns, provided they were properly pre pared ; but the misfortune Iras, that he never could get the returns he moved for.- , —(Laughter.) The resolution was agreed to. The next resolution, which was that a sum not exceed ing 3,7251. be granted to his Majesty, to defray the con tingent expenses and messengers' bills in the departments of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council and Committee of Privy Council for Trade, for the year 1830, was agreed to without discussion. Mr. DAWSON moved that a sum not exceeding 6,500/. be granted to his Majesty to make compensation to the Commissioners appointed by the Acts let and 2d George IV., c. 90, and 3d George IV., c. 87. for inquir ing into the collection and management of the revenue in Ireland, and the several establishments connected therewith and into certain other revenue departments in Great Britain, for their assiduity, care, and pains, in the execu tion of the trust reposed in them by Parliament. Colonel DAVIES had no doubt that these gentlemen lead discharged their duty with great benefit to the public. He was aware that they had made several valuable reports, and many useful suggestions, with respect to t, e suhjects of their inquiry, particularly as related to certain depart ments in Ireland ; but it should be recollected at what an expense these objects had been effected. This first pay ment to the Commissioners took place in 1823, and amounted to 6,255/. ; the next was in 1824, the amount 6,000/. ; in 1825, 5,2001. was paid to them ; in 1826, 5,675/. ; in 1827, 6,000/. ; in 1828, 6,500/., and a fur ther sum of 2,000/. for contingencies; in 1829, there was paid also 6,500/., and 2,500/. for contingenci6 ; this year, to be sure, the payment was only 6,5001. ; but still, there had been paid altogether to these Commissioners, including the present estimate, a sum of 53,130/. This was a prodigious expenditure. flow was it possible that the Commissioners could spend eight years in their inquiries and be diligent in the discharge of their duties ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said the annual saving effected by the Commissioners in the col lection and management of the public income consider ably exceeded the aggregate amount of the payments made on account of their services. Mr. HUME asked what was the subject of the Cou. missinuers' inquiry in the present year? Mr. DAWSON said they would submit another report on the state of the Post-office. Mr. HUME was aware of the general importance of the labours of Commissioners, but their proceedings with regard to the Post-office had met any thing rather than Isis approbation. What he wished was, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would try and effect a complete revision of the laws relating to the Post-office. Although the general feeling was that the Post-office was the best conducted de partment in England, he entertained a very different opi nion on the subject. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. DAWSON moved that a sum of 5,0001. he grant ed to his Majesty to thfray the salaries of certain officers, and expences of the Court and receipt of Exchequer for the year 1830. Mr. R. GORDON said, that if this vote were adopted, the House would give sanction to the acknowledged faults and recorded absurdities of the system of the Exchequer. There were seven departments g ake a few remarks.s in th e E xc h equer, an d Upon those ' o Remembrancer, and ,4. o the Lord f , the P i e t the would Ki Several Acts of Parliament had been passed for the regula tion of the Exchequer ; but, as they were round ineffec tual, three Lords of the Treasury, consisting of Lord Lowther, Lord G. Somerset, and Si r G eorge Cl er k, h a d been appointed to examine into the existing abuses. They bad made Report, and upon this deal riaenth a v he grounded valuable dedll his objections. • The Pipe Office con sisted of eight sworn attorneys, two Board-end Clerks, and eight clerks attached to the attorneys. Five of these sworn attorneys, it was found by the Commissioners, had never been near the office of the Exchequer, and resided in the country. The eight clerks had no fixed duties, no fixed hours Of attendance, and did no more than just as much as they pleased. It might be said that they had vested inte rests, but three oat of the eight were at school five years after they had been appointed. In the course of time the clerks became sworn attorneys, and the Commissioners bad contended that if the offices were abolished no com pensation ought to be granted. All this was not merely mummery and folly, but it was attended with a heavy ex pence. One of the clerks was called Clerk of the Nihile, and the amount of his duties might be guessed from his style. The Commissioners had thrown especial ridicule upon the throwing copper coins round a hat upcn certain squares of the table —upon the wooden tallies (which, by the way, had been abolished within the last six or seven EAST RETFORD. The examination of the witnesses on this Bill was then resumed, and continued till Nine o'clock, when their Lord ships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(LAST FIGHT). Sir IL VIVIAN presented a petition from the county of Cornwall complaining of agricultural distress, and also a petition from the Magistrates and Clergy of the saute county. Sir H. JOHNSON presented two petitions from Dum fries, against any increase of the duty on spirits aod stamps. Mr - . SCOTT presented a petition from Roxburgh against any additional duty on spirits, and another peti tion from Harwich, against the punishment of death for forgery. COKE presented a petition from Dias in favour of the Jens' *Emancipation Bill. Mr. E. DAVENPORT said that he had brought down several very important petitions, but not Seei ng any of the Ministers present, he should delay presenting• them. AUSTRALIAN COMPANY. On the motion of Mr. HUME, the Australian Company's Bill was read a third time and passed. EMIGRATION. Sir 111. S. STEWART presented a petition from an Emigration Society in Glasgow, praying for assistance to enable them to emigrate. _ _ Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the gold and silver manufacturers in Dublin, against any increase of duty in gold and silver plate. Lord Moßrzni and Mr. JEPIISON supported the peti tion. Lord UXBRIDGE presented two petitions from An glesea, against any alteration in the Welsh Judicature. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Thurles, in the county of Tipperary, against the Grand Jury (Ireland) Assessments. Air. O'CONNELL said he‘took shame to himself in not having before now brought in a Bill to do away with the system of which the petitioners complained, but be had waited iu hopes that Ministers would have introduced some measure on the subject. He would, however, not wait much longer before he took some step to do away with the plunder occasioned by Grand Jury Assessments. Mr. O'CONNELL presented petitions from several pa rishes in the county of Wexford, praying that a fund for the support of the Clergy and the poor might be formed from the Church lands now in the possession of the Bishops; and another petition from the same county against the Sub-letting Act, and also one against the tithe system. Sir JOHN NEWPORT presented a petition from the managers of the provincial bank in Scotland against the punishment of death for forgery. Mr. SPRING RICE presented a similar petition from Limerick. _ . Mr. JOHN SMITH presented similar petitions from Mr. Rothschild, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Sanderson. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the House went into a Committee of Supply. SALARIES OF PUBLIC OFFICERS. On the question that the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply he read, Sir J. GRAHAM said he had given notice of his inten tion to move, on the question of the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply, for "an account of all sa • lades, profits, pay, fees, and emoluments, whether civil or military, held and enjoyed by each of the Members of the Privy Council." He was most anxious to submit that mo tion, and was aware that he had a right to do so upon the present occasion. At the same time he was unwilling to impede the progress of public business. He thought that the right of moving amendments upon the question, that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of supply, should be exercised cautiously and sparingly, and only upon important occasions. He was therefore anxious to come to an arrangement with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which would render it unnecessary for him to move an amendment upon the question before the House. He would not oppose the House going into Committee, on the un derstanding that the House would resume at ten o'clock, to enable him to submit his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if ke must choose between going into a Committee for four hours and a half, and not going into it at all, he would de clare for the former. Mr. HUME thought the most fitting time for moving amendments was when the public money was about to be voted away. Sir J. YORKE could not understand why the motion of the Hon. Member for Cumberland was to be ol►posed at all.—(Hear.) —lt appeared to him the most plain-sail ing questio❑ that had eve been brought forward.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Sir J. NEWPORT could not, for the life of him, under stand why the motion was to be refuscd, unless it were on the principle of resisting the production of papers which could throw a light on the manner in which the public money was expended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to the form, and not to the substance, of the motion. He was quite will►ng to [Tree to a motion in the following form, which would give the Hon. Baronet all the infurma. tion he required :—An account of all salaries, profits, pay, tees, and emoluments, whether civil or military, of all public officers, from the sth of January, 1829, to the sth January, 1830, specifying with each name the total amount received by each individual, and distinguishing the various sources fro►r. which the same is derived."—( Hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM would hereafter state his reasons for preferring the form in which he had drawn up his motion. The Order of the Day was then read, and the House re solved itself into a COMAHTTEE OF SUPPLY. Sir G. CLERK in the Chair. Mr. G. DAWSON proceeded to move the various items of the miscellaneous estimates. 12,0001. to make good the deficiencies of the fee fund of the Home Secretary.—Agreed to. 17,000/. to make good the deficiencies of the fee fund of the Foreign Secretary. Mr. HUSIE said that the expenses of this department hid doubled since 1797. Mr. G. DAWSON justified the expenditure, in conse quence of our being obliged to send messengers to every part of Europe.—The resolution was agreed to. The next resolution was tOr the sum of 17,500/. to make good the deficiency in the fee-fund of the Colonial department. Mr. HUllilE could not say whether the different indiyi-
