:night not think it prudent to go again before his consti- 1 tuen ts without a gagging Bill. By the B ill as it now ' stood, and without the clause which be (Mr. O'Connell) proposed, it would be in the power of the Magistracy to trample on the elective franchise of the people.—(No, no.) He said Yes, yes ! Mr. LAMBERT warmly denied that he was afraid to meet his constituents. He could tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman , that if h.. (Mr. Lambert) had thought it an object to be so, he could have been the ap plauded, the followed, the admired of all those had parties by whom he was now so bitterly attacked, and might have had all the pure votes of all the blood-stained agita. tors of his country. Mr. O'DWYER sa id t h a t it might be maintained by some that the authority against the undue exercise of which the clause proposed by his Hon. and Learned Friend was directed, would, in all probability, not he abused by the present Government, but let it be recollected, that tlie present Government might have successors who would grossly abuse that authority. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN reprobated the interference of the police in Ireland, not only at elections, but on a l l other occasions. What was the main cause of the present state of Ireland? That the gentry wire taking one part and the people another. They quarrelled with the p , ople, and they were now anxious to guard themselves against the people. Fifteen members of the grand jury of the county of Meath, and fifty-two Magistrates of the c ounty of Westmeath, had presented a metnor al to the Lord- Lieutenant for the extension of the rovisions of the Act to those counties.—(The Hon. Member here made some allusion to rharges brought, a few 7.ears ago, by tl e pre sent Hon. Men her for Mayo against cert .in Ireeholders of Galway, the exact nature of which we were unable to coll. ct.) He would not presume to g , ve the Right, Hon. Gentlem,.n advice, but he would give him this wholesome admonition—that he had nev r c..mmitted a greater trror than when he passed from one party to another ; than when he at one period took up the part of the people, and at another period took up the part of the gentry of Ireland. Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE denied that he had made any unfounded charges against the voters in Galw,y on the occasion alluded to by the Hon. Member for Meath. But he was not surprised at the sympathy which the Hon. Alember for Meth appeared to fee! for fictitious voters; as, if he (Mr. D. Browne) were not mistaken, the Hon. Member itim , elf had had something to do with fictitious voters in Dublin. Mr. SHAW alluded (as we understood the Hon. Gen tleman) to the Hon. Member for Meath's having, on a former election, availed himself of Government interest. Mr. JAMES GRATTAN appealed to the House whether the attack made upon him was honest, just, lair, or generous? He might retaliate if he chose, but he dis dained to do so. He knew that of former Irish Govern ments of which an honest En g lishman would be ashamed to hear. He well knew that Calcutta of Ireland. the Castle of Dublin.—(Question, question.) That cry came with a bad grace from those who had listened for hours, yesterday evening, to an explanation of a speech made four or five years ago by an ex-Secretary of State. Lord ALTHORP begged to recall the attention of the Committee to the object and provisions of the Bill. One of the latter vested in the Lord Lieutenant the power of prohibiting public meetings in disturbed districts. The Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin bad observed, that at popular elections it was atisolute'y necessary that the candidates should be present at public meeting. in order to state the opinions upon which they founded their claims to the votes of the electors. The question was, whether the spirit of the Act applied to such meetings? It would be in the discretion of the Lord Lieutenant to put the Act in force, and he would be responsible for so doing. No Lord Lieutenant would dare to make an undue use of the power thus intrusted to him, or interfere with the freedom of election. Were he to do so, he would subject himself not merely to censure, but almost to impeachment. There might he meetings during the progress of elections as dan gerous to the pullic peace and safety, as at other periods, and therefore he could not do otherwise than look at this clause as necessary to the efficiency of the measure. Mr. O'CONNELL said it was very well for the Noble Lord to state that the Lord-Lieutenant would put the Act in force on his own responsibility. Responsibility in deed Why such observations were perfectly ludicrous. Supposing he proclaimed a county, and the act was after wards questioned in that House, his two Members would immediately jump up and say it was necessary—the county was in a state of insurrection—murders, and maraudings, and intimidation prevailed throughout ; and perhaps, in support of their assertions, a red box would be produced, and bits of newspapers, extracts of letters, and other unauthenticated and ex parte statements read. Hon. Members bad talked about personalities, especially the Hon. Member for Wexford, whose tone of tragic dig nity and bombast he should not soon forget, but the pre sent Lord-Lieutenant was personal, even in his-proclama tions. Were they to intrust these tremendous powers to a roan, whose first proclamation might he termed a per sonal one—a proclam ition against the Trades' Union—to the man who had complained in Cork that the people did not touch their hats to him? Were they to give the au thority to proclaim a district during an election to an in dividual who bad notoriously mixed himself up, on a late occasion, with electioneering squabbles and party feelings? Had not the Lord-Lieutenant taken part in the late con test in the city of Dublin? He asserted that he had, whatever contradiction might be given, and could prove what he «aid. They hail made out no case; and if they bad, the Irish Government did not deserve the confidence of the people. Mr. STANLEY said, the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had wired him up, by coining forward with a charge, not against the Government of Ireland, but the bead of it, founded on the statements of certain news papers, and not contradicted. It was ludicrous, that every time the Government was assailed by two conflict ing parties—each bitterly opposed to it—if it was thought beneath it to notice everything which they published, their silence should he held as an admission that, what ever was uttered by the malice, absurdity, or ignorance of the one or the other was founded in truth.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. 0 Connell) admitted that the Lord- Lieutenant had taken the trouble, by a memorandum in the newspapers, which the Hon. and Learned Member called a proclamation, of distinctly denying the slightest interference by Government in the Dublin election ; and behead yet to show on what authority he ventured to im peach the word and honour of a man who, in ordinary circumstances, he dare not doubt.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Member well knew that he stood in a position in which he chuld not be called upon to retract or explain anything lie might choose to utter.—(Mur. rout's.) He stared, tro st positively, that the Govern nien were per;e.oly itirlifferent in feeling as to the success of caniiiitatea who were equally opposed to them. Those wbo held official situations were p riectly at liberty to vote for whom they pleased, and had no directions or suggestions whatever.—(Hear, hear ) He believed the majority of those individuals did vote against the Hun. llember for Dublin ; and if, in doing so, they considered they were voting for the more respectable ,nd more com petent candidates, they were acting on their own acknow ledged rights in doing so.—(Cheers.) Mr. SHAW was sorry that the Right Hon. Secretary had forced him up ; but as a fact had been questioned with which he was well acquainted, he should not be doing his duty if he did not rise. It was no newspaper paragraph on which he founded the assertion he now made, that the atat,inent of the Hon. and Learned Mem ber tor Dublin was correct, hut on the authority of Mr. West himself—a roan of as pure honour, as upright mind, and lofty principles, as any in that House. That g ntle man bad shown him a document, which placed beyond a shadow of doubt the fact that the Irish Government had expressed, distinctly, their intention 01 supporting—bad, indeed, promised their entire influence to Mr. West and Sir George Rich.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. RUTIIVEN and Mr. STANLEY mutually explained. Mr. LALOR supported the amendment. Mr. AGLIONEN seid, there was one point to which h e was anxious to call the attention of the Hun. and Member for Dublin, which was, that if his amen d m ent was carried, there would be no power under th i s Bi ll f rt ,lrn the period of the conclusion of the election till the time of the next meeting of Parliament. He would suggest that his amendment should h.ve ffect only during the interval betaCeen the dissolution of Parliament and the conclusion of the a:ection. Mr. O'CONNELL was pert:a:Al) , willing to agree to the proposition of the Hon. and Learned Member, if it could possibly be carried into elf< ct. He slioablal now take the opportunity of making one or two observations ;ipou the subject of the interference of the Government with the Dublin election. It bad been denied that the Govern ment had interfered ; be had documents to prove that in terference. The contrary assertion rested chiefly upon the note of the Lord-Lieutenant, which was in these words :—" 1 desire it to he distinctly understood that the Government will not take any part in the Dublin election. Anglesea." What was the document on the other side? It was a letter, relating to what bad passed between tie writer and Alderman Dailey, and between Alderman Dar ley and Sir William Gossett. The Alderman and anott er gentleman had called at the office of Sir W. Gossett, and Alderman Dailey lett the room and went up stairs to ask what were the intentions of the Government ; and shortly afterwards returned, and said tbat Sir W. Gosset . t had authorized him to say that the Government would give ail their support to the two Conservative candidates. Alder- Man Darley then sent for Farrel, the chief constable of the Duldin police, and told him that Mr West and Sir George Rich were to he supported. .end that Farrel was to take means of effectually supporting them. That was the Go vernment to which were to be intrusted the provisions of this Act. He called on the House to remember that. There was no case made out for confidence ; and if so, there certainly was none in principle. Confidence indeed ! Why Lord Anglesea himself had said, before he was I,,td- Lieutenant, that be would never issue proclamations of this kind; yet he bad not been Lord. Lieutenant three days before be issued one. Na confidence ought to be placed in any man. Mr. STANLEY was not prepared at this moment to answer the observations of the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Dublin with respect to the conversations with Sir Wm. Gossett ; but he should like to ask whether there had not been any subsequent documents that explained the account given of the conversation by Alderman Dar ley, and that showed the effect of that conversation with Sir Wm. Gossett had been misrepresented by Alderman D irlq? He did not mean to cast any imputation on Alderman Darley, than whom there could not be a more honour ible man ; hut he believed that there was evidence to show that the Alderman had been mistaken. What ever might have been the statement thus erroneously made, he knew perfectly w. II what were the feelings of the Government on the occasion in question. The Go- vernm-nt hod no predilection whatever with respect to the candidates. Nothing was more likely, or more pro- Kahle, than that Alderman Darley should have g one on the p rt of Mr. West, who was most unexpectedly a can• dilate, and should have asked what was meant to be done, and then if that were so, the Honourable and Leirn , cl Member for Dtr.lin well knew that the per kons e mployed under the Government in Dublin would almost to a man prefer to vote of their own accord for Mr. West and Sir G. Rich, re.ther than for the Hon. and Learned Mernher.—(Hear.) That might have been stated to A'derman Da.ley, who mie.ht easily have mistaken that antement of the probability cf their votes being given to these two candidates for a pro mise that Government would use their influence to that effect. He thought that Sir William Gossett had so ex this matter afterwards. So that if Aiderman D,r• ley was told that the Government would not interfere, he might, in all probability, have said, " You may go on safely, for you are sure to have all the Government votes." Mr. SHAW said that he did not think the explan,tion offered by the Right Hon. Gentleman was sitisfactmy. He must sa} that a Member of the Governmcnt ought not to have committed the Government unless he knew their inten tion ; nor ought the Government to have said what would be done, unless they perfectly well knew the sentiments of those who were under them. The House then divided— For the amendment 72 Against it 214 Majority - 1a Mr. O'CONNELL should propose an amendment in the same spirit, but more limited in its extent than the last. His amendment NI as, that in every case of a new writ issuing for the election of a Member during the con tinuance of this Parliament, from the issuing of that writ until its return, the powers of this Act should be suspended in the place where such election was to he had. After a few words from Lord ALTHORP, this amend ment was agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved that no meeting of any chartered body should be deemed unlawful within this Act. Unless this clause was p►ssed, every Corpora tion in the country would be at the mercy of the Lord Lieutenant. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the clause was unnecessary, as there was a power in the magistrates of every town in Ireland to call a meeting, which the Lord- Lieutenant had no power to control. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that the rules which applied to English corporations, were not always applicable to Irish corporations. After a few observations from Lord Aurrtour and Mr. O'CONNELL, quite inaudible i❑ the gallery, in conse quence of the noise in the House, the amendment was negatived. Mr. O'CONNELL then proposed, amidst much laugh ter, an amendment to the effect, that as the powers con ferred by the present Act were granted in consequence of the confidence felt by Parliament in the present Ministers, and in their mild administration of those powers, they should cease and determine with the responsibility of the present Ministers in the event of their removal from office. The amendment was not persevered in. Mr. O'DWYER then moved that at the end of the 10th clause there should be a proviso, declaring that no thing in this Act should enable the Lord Lieutenant to grant any commissions for courtsmartial in any disturbed district , . until he should have sent down thither a Special Commission for the trial of offences, or till he should have received a special report from the judges on circuit in that part of the country, that the jury system was inoperative there for the ends of justice, and that the introduction of courtsmartial was necessary. The amendment was understood to be negatived. After a few observations from the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. SHELL, and Mr. H. GRATTAN, the preamble was agreed to. The House resumed, and the Chairman brought up the report. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. Lord ALTHORP suggested the propriety of sitting on Saturday if the 13111 was ❑ot got through with on Friday night. Mr. O'CONNELL objected to sitting on Saturday; and said the House might sit as long as necessary on Friday night—to four o'clock on Saturday morning if requisite. Lord ALTHORP hoped they would he able to get through the Bill o❑ Friday. CHANGE OF VENUE BILL. _ Mr. STANLEY rn,ved the second reading of this Bill. He would not discuss its principles then, provided it were pei mitttd him to do so on the third reading of it. ARMY ESTIMATES. After some previous discumsion as to the propriety of entering on the army estimates at the late hour of eleven o'clock, during which Mr. Hume gave his consent that they should lw gone into, Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the House to go into a Committee of Supply on the army estimates Mr. I3ERNAL having taken the chair, Sir J C. HOBHOUSE rose and said, that as they had arrived at a period of the session when it was usual to call upon the House to pass a vote of credit for the pur pose of meeting the army expenditure, he hoped he should meet. with the attention of the Committee, whilst he called upon them to give their sanction to one portion of the army estimates, which was the only one he intended to bring forwaad that night—viz the usual vote for the number of men. H- felt that he came before the Committee in the execution of his duties, under circumstances somewhat to his disadvantage. For many years a gradual diminution in the dead weight of the army had been going on, so that it orris impossible for any one ho'ding the office which he had the hmour unworthily to fi 1, to come forward at the present moment with any very flourishing comparative statement between the amount of the army estimates now, and that of former periods There was also another cause for his being placed in a disadvantageous lie ht on the pre sent occasion, which resulted from the posaibil , ty of a comparison being instituted bet , een his Right Hon. Friend at the head of ti.e A tniralty, and himself, with regard to the reducii"ns which his Right Hon. Friend had been enabled to make in the expenditure of the n ivy, since he had managed that branch of tire public service. Whilst he could point to on such favourable circumstances. at least to alit, thing like an equal ext iv in 'the department controlled by him, there was this consideration, however, to be offered in extenuation—namely, that the Secretary at-War had simply to deal with a given number of men and a certain amount of mon y, which was requisite fin their support, whilst the First Lord of the Ad:niralty, having a much larger scope wherein to exercise his powers of retrenchment and views of economy, had a propor tionably gr ater opportunity for earning that praise, which his Right Hon. Friend had so justly received.— (Hear, hear, hear.) It was, however, his good fortune, on the present occasion, to be able to bring for ward his branch of the public expenditure, to have it in his power to sty that, in the estimates which he was about to lay on the table, there was, in spite of that constant and gradual diminution in the non-effective part of them during recent years, to which he had already referred, a further diminution on every item charged to the account of the effective and non-effective forces, to the amount of 206,000/. —(Cheers)—compared with the amount of the same estimates in the last year. In rendering this saving clear to the apprehension of the House, he must trouble them fur their attention whilst he made a short state ment of the comparative number of troops employed now and at former times, as we I as of the increased c , lonial responsibilities incurred by Great Britain, which rendered it necessary to maintain the present amount of fore. a. 111 making this statement, he should avail himself of none of those ruts of m)stificatiou by which former similar state ments had, he feared, been too often justly characterized, but Le would endeavour fairly and openly to show where the differences existed, in what services it had been found necessary to increase the number of troops, and in what other services they had been enabled to diminish ti eir number, and be would also endeavour plainly to state the exact amount of debts and credits in sums t tel for the different branches, so as to enable the House to comprehend with little difficulty the present condition of the army, and the amount of expenditure which was required to maintain it at its present effective height. He was, however, compelled, most reluctantly, to own that the decrease in the effective part of the service was not carried to that extent which had been expected ; but that, on the contrary, the complement of that portion of the army was kept up to the same amount at which it was when he first had the honour of accepting his present office. But, at the same time, he was enabled to point out in the present estimates the absence of several items which were formerly strongly contested as not forming part of the necessary appendages to the effective state of the army during a time of peace. These items were the waggon-train, the army meoical department, the Perma nent Assistant Quartermaster-General, the Inspector of Clothing, and the S aff of the Civil Governorships, which latter item, howeve., had disappeared from former army es timates. Owing also to arrangements which were made pre vious to his entering on the duties of his office, but which:he had most zealously (tarried into execution, the dead weight of the estimates had been reduced to an unhoped-for extent ; and he earnestly trusted that the House would give him credit for the endeavour, during the term of his continu ance in office, to carry into operation the views of tt ose who preceded him, as well as those which he e ntertained himself, with respect to the reduction of the most objection able parts of the army estimates. The first item in the pre sent estimates was decidedly the smallest that had appeared since the year 1820. He could show, at the same time, that since the sear 1820 t ere had been an annual dimi nution to the amount of 276,0001. on this part of the es ttmatas, and it was not to he expected th ,t with an an nual decrease to the extent he had mentioned, a greater iminution could he expected from him. The amount, therefore, of the forces which were required fir the pre sent year was, for service ahroad, 78,591, and fir Eng land anti Isel ind. 17,200, making in the whole the num ber of 95 '791 men. The Right Hon. Baronet here en tered into a detail of the comparative numbers of men which were required for the army during the present year, and its effective force in the year 1792 ; but whirl], from the circumstance of many of his figures not clearly reaching our ears, we are compelled to omit, rather than submit an imperfect or er roneous report of them to the public. The branch of the army which had undaigone the most material increase was that employed in the colonies and in ladle. The whole force em toyed in the colonies, during the year 1792, was 15.100; whilst, in 1833, its amount had been raised to 16,858. But the difference was to be accounted for by the increase in the populati ,n and importance of those colonies since thst period; and it might also be accounted for in another way—namely, by the fact that the colony of New South Wales, which formerly re quired, comparatively speak ng, no force at all, now, from its incre sed importance, the additional number of convicts, and the recent large additions to its popula tion and territory, swelled the force to no less than 1,788 men. In the West Indies also some increase hail taken place in the number of troops, at which no one who considered the state of those islands, and more parti cularly of Jamaica, could wonder. In the Canada, how ever, the number of troops was less by 225 men than in 1792. On the North American station, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, the number was more, by 475 men, than in 1792. At Gieraltar it was less by 1,025 men, than in 1792; so that if New South Wales was left out of the question—as justly it ought to be—the number of troops employed in the colonies was less by nine men, than it was in 1792. He trusted the House would not quarrel with the present estimates on that ground. Now with respect to India, he must beg their attention whilst he stated a few facts. In the year 1792 the numher of troops employed in I dia was 9,013 men— in the present year their numbers were 17,288 ; hut then the immense ir.c.ease in tl.e extent of territory and also in the amount of population, which hid since that period accrued to Great Britain, more than accounted for the difference betwesn the number of troops on duty there now and the former period. The extent of country in India, which was under the immediate control and protection of Great Britain, was no less than 1,128,000 of square miles, whilst the amount of the population, according to the last estimated census, .vas 89,577 000. The amount of troops employed immediately in Great Britain, was no more than 4,000 men, whilst in Ireland it was 13,151. — (Hear, hear, from the Hon. Member for Dublin, we be lieve.) It was not his fault that so large a number of men was required for Ireland. The Right Hon. Baronet stated the number of troops also employed in the colonies in detail, but in a manner which rendered it impossible to follow his figures. The amount of population in the colonies, as shown by the last census, was equal within 62 men to the whole population of the old co lonies, whilst in Great Britain and Ireland the popu lation had increased from the year 1792, when it was 13,882,024, to 24.271,763, which was the amount as stated in the last census ; so that, at least as far as population was concerned, either in the colonies, the Indian, or the home possessions, lie had a right to say that there now existed no such increase of the forces compared with their number in 1792, as gave any one a right to object on that ground to his estimates. A great deal of the unnecess try expense, as well as a large portion of the troops, was to he referred to the injudicious manner in which they were formerly applied. A more ef fective distribution of them was now in operation, and this had been of material use in enabling the Government to carry their reductions into effect. He had often heard urgent objections made to the continuance of the military depots, and he had in consequence seriously applied him self to the consideration of that branch of the service with a view to its reduction if necessary. He had, how ever, since his accession to office been put in possession of such facts, and that to() on the authority of persons WI o wet e well qualified to judge of the matter, t hat he had no hes tation in saying at once that the military depots were indispensable, or at all events 'hat they were so tneteriely connecter' with the economical arrangement of the army, as to render him very desirous of their centinuance. For instance, it very frequently happened that a regiment would return from foreign service, the greater portion of whin was totally disabled from active duty. Now, if those men were to he discharged, as in case tie depots were attolished they must be, they would be entitled to claim disabled retiring pensions, which would add to the already overwhelming amount of dead we ght ; whereas, if they wet e to be quartered in one of the deptes, there was every chance of the recovery of the greater part, whilst the site. leton regiments, thus remaining half formed, were of great ativantage, as they were always available to be drafted into other regiments to be employed on active service, or else to be employed in what wire termed small services. Having stated thus much in defence of the present estimates, he would pass on to the details of the numbers and employment of troops, the vote for which he was about to su :mit to the Committee. He must, however, first observe, that it would lie app trent on the face of the estimates that there was an increase in the number of men since the year 1830, to the amount of 7,689. He felt that he ought to account for the diffe rence. There were, at the present time, 1,018 more men employed abro d than in 1830, and 6,695 more at home. 01 those at home, with the exception of 997, the whole -increase was in Ireland. In the Mediterranean. there were 1,395 men less than th- fixed estahlishmest on that station. At the Cape of Good H ipe there were 103 men more, and 757 more in New S such Wales, which in• crease, in chie latter colony, was to he :Ito- buted to the increased number of convicts, over %shorn these men were gua.ds. In the Mauritius there were 620 men more ; and it was scarcely necessary for hint to ex plain that this increase was to be attributed to the disturbances which had taken place in that colony. In Ceylon, there were 293 more ; in Canada, 610 less. In the West Indies, for a cause be need not e xplain, there were also a greater number ; anti on the coast of Africa there were 280 men more than in 1830. He thought. under all the circumstances, that this was as satisfactory an account as the case would adroit of, as to the difference between the years 1830 and 1833 ; and now, there only remained the difference between the last and the present years. In Great Britain, there were 4(192 men less this year than last ; and in Ireland, there were 3,673 men less. Abroad, there were 571 men more, so that there had been, exclusive of the forces employed in India, a decrease of all ranks to the extent of 1,546. He trusted that he should not be consitiered as going out of his way, it he ventured to state that be did not conceive any circumstance now existed, which crshd justify a diminution of the force voted by the Heine fur the service of the last year. He was sorry to say that we could not boast of tranquillity in our own dominions, and the aspect of jfdrs over the continent of Europe was such that hardly any Hon. M e mber would conceive it necessary to ask for a diminished number of troops, merely on the ground of economy; Thinking it possible that some Hon. Gentlemen might be led away by the statements in the public tout nate an to the diminution of forces, effected by toe other European Powers, lie hoped he should be per mitted to read from a table which he field in his hand, he tremendous amount of force kept up by the other Powers, and also by America. He would first state the proportion of troops to the population, and the proportion which the military expenditure bore to the revenue of each country. Proportions of Popula.

He did not mean to state that this country in its natural position, ought to regul ite its force by the conduct of other Powers ; but he did mean to say, that with reference to the former esta blishment of tl.e country, and with reference also to the position of 'he continental Powers. we had a right ti hold ourselves in the a.me defensive attitude as during former years. Nothwithstandin2, the appeals which had been made, and he admitted very properly made, to this reformed Parliament, he did not think that one of their first acts should be to paralyse the efforts of the Government of the country, particularly when just cause had been shown I.r maintaining all thise armaments. If any one would only cast his eye over the trup of Europe he would perceive the necessity of keeping up our present force, knowing that the least movement in any one of those States, great or small, was calculated to produce an effect upon this country. Even the slightest movement in C.nada or the Mediterranean was sufficient to set the military of this country into a state of activity. Even in the present estimates the petty agitation caused in the dominions of the King of the Mandingoes—a King he never before heard of until he saw his Majesty's name in the estimates—(A laugh)—had swelled those estimates in the amount of 5501. He trusted that the House would not object to this vote. If any constitutional jealousy prevailed against a large standing army in time of peace at former periods, he trusted that those Hon. Members who believed with him that the House now really repre sented tie sentiments and feelings of the people of Eng land, would be satisfied that such jealousy could no longer prevail, and that even any suspicion would be diminished by a just confidence in the House. Under a reformed Parliament all fears of that kind would be at an end, for the force which ought not to be trusted to a f-vv, might safely be intrusted to those who represented the people of the empire. Those gentlemen, therefore, who might think that because he objected to the maintenance of such armies in other times, they were still bound to oppose them, were mistaken, for the grounds of suspicion and jealousy which formerly might be justly entertained, were now re moved by the change which had rendered that ifiuse the real representative of the people. Tree Right Hn. Ba ronet concluded by moving, that the number of 89,419 men tie employed as the land forces of the British etiapire, exclusive of those maintained in the East Indies, for the year beginning the Ist of April, 1833, and ending the 31st of March, 1834. The qu..stion was put. Mr. HUME said he would put it to the House whe ther, at this late hour of the night—twelve o'clock—(Oh, oh)—it wool Ihe advisable to proceed with the discusion. Lord ALTHORP persisted in piocerding. He was perfectly surprised at such a proposition emanatmg from the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. HUME had not made the proposition exclaimed against by the Noble Lord on his own account, but on that of a large portion of the other i I mbers. Lord ALTEIORP petsisting in his determination, 11r. HUME, at considerably past twelve o'clock, rose to reply. The Hon. Member went through a rapid statement of figures and calculations of the number• of force in different years, and the amount of military ex penditure in the same years The effective fore- of this year would cost more by 56,0001. than the forces at any time under the Wellington Administration. It would be ex tremely difficult to understand why this Ministry should require so large an increase beyond the estimates of the Duke of Wellington. Even the reasons and causes tvh ch had been alleged by the former Administra tions were ❑ow no longer tenable. In 1792 our forces had only amounted to 45,942. In the present enormous increase to the •alreadty enormous aun.unt of forces, he was perfectly at a loss for a reason he sad heard none yet. We were just now on the same scale as in 1830. There was much greater room for reduction than was pro posed in the estimate. There was a proposition for seven teen thousand men for the new colonies ; hut in none of the old colonies was it found necessary to keep up half such a body of me❑ as had been kept up in 1792, as, for instance, in Canada, when the dangers of war hanging over them rendered a large force really necessary. It of the 5,000 regular troops in Canada, they were to draw away 4,000, there would be quite as much security, and it wound he of great benefit to the country.—(Here, and indeed at various periods during the Hon. Gentleman's speech, considerable confusion prevailed in the House, which the Hon. Gentleman observed " was always the case a ter• twelve o'clock ;" a laugh, and Hear hear.) The nu.nber of troops maint .ined in our colonies was by by all those colonies considered, so far from a protection and security, a great affliction ; and if they were univer sally reduced to one•halt, he was Sully persuaded, on the best authority, and from personal information from people of property in the different islands, that the existence of such large bodies of troops in those colonies was considered perfectly unnecessary, and altogether disproportioned to their wants. With respect to Canada he had only a few days ago received a letter from a responsiole person in Upper Canada, stating, that by the change in pokey of our Government with respect to that country, the people there were so perfectly satisfied, and every ihing was rendered su secure, that there was no necessity for a single regular soldier there. Were we, then, to keep up such a body of troops, in our distressed condition, under such imbecile pretences ? In the scale of pupation which the Hon. Gentleman had produced—and a curious one it was—he had omitted to ❑t ention Upper Canada. As to the proportion of troops in England, 90,000 in 24,000,000, this was on the face t fit most preposterous. Then as to the expense of our colonial a rmies—for instance, from the force in New South Wales—we could most advantageously fer both countries deduct 1,000 Wren; and if we would give that country, as we ought, sonic sort of representative govern ment, still some power by which they might assess them ..elves, they would be glad enough to pay what soldiery t h e y might find necessary to keep up. All the people of N e w South Wales asked was, that they should have a Legislature of their own, by which alone they should he taxed. They had expressed their willingness, if that were given to them, to relieve England of all the expense of their civil as siell as their military establishments. With ,espect to the North American colonies, he knew it to be the o pinion of those who were beat stile to judge of the subject, that with the exception of Halifax, which, from its peculiar situation, might, perhaps, require a considerable force, no other part required such an army as was main tained in them. The Canadians, too, complained, and he t hought with justice, of the policy which prevented the Government from allowing any natives of Canada to enter ttie army. Trey dill not wish for a separation from this country, but they complained that they were kept in an inferior and degraded situation. He disapproved of the system of coercion adopted by the Government towards tae Mauritius acrd Cape of Good Hope. It was calcu lated not only to do harm, by alienating the affections of those colonies from the mother country, but it entailed a vast expense on the people. There were 33,000 men in the colonies at present, which he thought might very safely be reduced to 2,000, including relays.—(The House at this period showed much impatience, upon which the Hon. Member said)—He was not surprised that Iron. Nlembets should feel some impatience at those details; and he assured them, that after having sat there for thirteen hours, he felt as little disposed to enter into them as any one. He should, there'ore, say no more regarding the colonies, further than to ask the Hight Hon. Secretary at War when this country was to he relieved of the expense of supporting 4,500 men in the lonian Islands? And he would add, that there was no better field for the Government to show their desire for economy than in the colonies. With regard to Ireland, the House would see that the situation of that country was one which required great consideration. He complained that the Government should adopt coer. cive measures towards that country, which would oblige this kingdom to incur great expense, merely for the purpose of supporting the Established Church. If the Government were to do away with the Eqablished Church in that country, he (Mr. Hume) nould willingly agree to vote a sum for the .upport of the ministers of religion. Such a mevure would save 30,000 men in Ireland. But the saving in the army was not the only benefit which would accrue from such a measure; it would likewise do away with that state of disquiet and insecurity, which must be felt as long as the Disturbances Act was in force, and it would allow men of capital from this country to settle there, which they could not be expected to do as long as even the dread of the Act hung over them. The excuse held out for maintaining a great part of the army was, that a large force being kept up by the continental Powers, it was necessary for this country to keep up a corresponding force. But he would beg to ask what con nection the amount of the continental armies had to do with the military force we ought to maintain ? He could conceive that it might he proper to adapt our navy to the navies of the continental Powers, but this country, from its situation, being less liable to be attacked than any other, he could see no reason why the armies maintained elsewhere should influence those of this country. As to the army in Ireland, there was, besides the regular mili tary force, a body of police amounting to seven thousand men (of the expense of which they had received no account), besides militia and yeomanry to the number of fifty thousand na, , n. This he considered far toe large an establishment for the necessities of the country, and he thought it might be reduced with great propriety, without endaneering the peace or security of the empire. It would be found that England, when compared with other coun tries, had three times their force, and that force was main tained at double the expense of the force of any Power in Europe. The only question at present, however, was, what force was requisite to protect the lives and property of the p ople, and to maintain the peace of the country ? Ile had no doubt, that a much smaller force would he neces sary for that purpose than that at present maintained, and that the standing army might safely bereduced from 89,000 to 60,000. Ttiere was one other subject to which lie would allude—he meant the number of officers. An officer was at present maintained for every eight men, which all military men knew to be excessive. It was three times the number maintained by the East India Company, or indeed in any army in the world. If the House (continued the Hon. Member) will go with me in opinion—and God knows how far Hon. Members will be inclined to go—(A laugh)—for at present they seem more inclined to go to sleep—(A laugh)—they will sup port me in my amendment to the motion before them. I think that the number of men to he voted for the ser vice of the year ought not to be more than was main tained during the administration of the Duke of Wel lington. There are, indeed, many reasons why it should be less, far the continent is not so disturbed, and there is not so much probaltility of war now es there was then. I shall, however, content myself with moving that the army be reduced to the standard of 1830. 1 shall, there fore, conclude by moving—" That the land forces be re duced to 81,164 men," being the establishment main tained by the Duke of Wellington. Major BEAUCLERK, in seconding the amendment, complained of the immense army maintained in the colonies, and especially in Corsica and the Gre k islands. in the latter, the troops were employed against the liberties of Greece, ana in support of the Turks, and created hatred to this country, and suspicion of its intentions. He thought the maintenance of th se islands not only useless but mis chievous, and the expense, in the present state of the country, was intoleratmle; he therefore begged to ask tl Right Hon. Secretary at War why they were not give up to Greece? Lord ALTHORP would place more reliance on the opinion of the Hun. and Gallant Member for Surrey as a civilian than as a military inan.--( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He meant that the Hon. and Gallant Officer had had more time and experience in civil affairs than in military matters. ['he Hon. and Gallant Officer had stated that tie lonian Islands were useless, and had called on the Right Hon. Secretary at War to say why he did not give them up. He (Lord A.) thought that the House would allow, that his RI hr Han. Friend would he wandering a little out of his department in deciding on what was purely a matter of foreign policy. The Hon. and Gallant Officer asked why the lonian Islands were out given up to Greece ? H (Lord A.) would merely answer, because, though they had at last been able to give a Government to that country, still it was so unstable and disorganize d, that they could not act towards it as towards an old and settled country. With regard to the remarks of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, he would remind the H use, that the question was not, whether the number of men to be voted should be more or Irsa. but whether the number of the army as proposed I.y the G tvernment was inure than sufficient to maintai❑ the peace of the kingdom, and secure the property of his Majesty's subjects. The Hon. Member fur Middlesex had said that the colonists were displeased that there should i e so many troops quartered among them. He (Lord Althorp) had never heard so before ; and he never was more surprised than when he heard the Hon. Member make the assertion. Every one must see that the state of the colonies was at present very dangerous, and that it would soon be necessary to come to some definite con clusion regarding them; and he did not think that it war when approaching that conclusion, they ought to diminish the farce in them. Then, with regard to Ireland, he would ask, was this the time to reduce the force in that country, when they found it necessary to come to Parlia ment to ask for additional powers, i❑ order to enable them to maintain peace within it ?—(Flear, bear.) He thought that the very worst species of force which could be used was the yeomanry, and he suspected that few of the people of It eland would feel pleased, were the Government to adopt that species of force. The Hon. Member for Mid dlesex had likewise said that he thought the colony of New South Wales should get a separate Legislature. He (Lord Althorp) was always inclined to give separate Legislatures, where the colonies were in a fit state to receive them, but he thought it was a very doubtful question if a convict colony was exactly the proper one to which to give a sepa rate Legislature. He admitted that the increase in the continental armies was no reason why this country should maintain a large force. The present farce of this country had, however, ample employment at home and in the colonies, without any such reason being held out for maintaining it.— (Hear, hear.) He would therefore say that, looking to the state of the colonies and of Ireland, he did not think that time present was a time when tie Go vernment mill venture to reduce the number of the farces. Mr. WARBURTON wished the discussion not to be prolonged, and the division to be taken on the next resolu ion. Mr. C. WYNN saw good reason, in the state of this country, and in the state of the colonies, to keep up the army ; but he saw no reason ti keep up this force in the present state of Europe. If a large standing army was to be kept up on the ground of confidence in the reformed Parliament, R••form would be a curse to the country. It was not a sufficient justification of our keeping up a large iiriny that other stiles kept up large armies. He and his Noble Friend (Lord Althorp) had opposed this principle 17 years ago with sneers?. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE said he would agree to the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Bridport, and take the division on the money grant, and not on the number of men. Amendment negatived. The vote of 89,419 men was then agreed to, on the undet standing tlatt a debate and division were to take place on the grant of money. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-coo:low (this day). The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a quarter past two. TORY . ELECTIONEERING.—In the late con test in Marylebone, a respectable tradesman was written to by a certain Lady, who not only solicited his vote for Mr. HOPE, but told him plainly that if he did not so vote she would cease to employ him.

I C ! Aristocratic State began to place itself on a level with.Pocc civilization of the age, and lost the spring of its ancie tt character, without finding in the civilization which adopted any new force.
