It had been , said by the Hon. Member. for - Winchelsea, - that the Ordnance was an exarnpleiwpoint of economy 'for other de - - .partments. :He did not know how far that . was an imputation- on other departments, but. it was certainly a declaration favOurable :to the n an-ce- Tile Right Alen; Gentleinan stated in L. round nnmbers all the reductions which had been .matleduring.several . years past, and - observed, .that there was no particular year' at 'which they could stop . and: fairly say,- the expence of the Ordnance of: the . present year ought to be •-• regulated by the - expence of the year selected. —They were bound to look at the exigency of the time, and the lion. Gentleman, the Mem ber for Aberdeen, could 'not properly confine • therm to the "year :179`..'.` If, however, he did Ordnance the - Ordnance of 1792 with the present ex:pense,. he Would find the difference between-the sums was not 'much, allowing for the increased services of the present day. The '.• deductions at this time exceeded any which fol lowed .former wars. - We - had more colonies and establishments to keep. up, than at the end:of . former years, yet the deductions were greater ' than at the end of any other war during the last 10 0 years. if this was the . nature of the Ord nance service, he might ask why they were cal- Upon to do more than their ancestors could do. Iviore than half the establishments since 1796 were: , n eW' s and if so, how could it be expected that they • could come back to the expense of 1792.--- Re contended that money would not now pur chase so much as in 17,92. Could any person go now and purchase articles so cheap as he did in 17 42. They could not, and that was a reason Ivily they could not return to the Expenditure of . 1792. With respect to what the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had objected to as enormous Sala- Ties, it would appear that the Store-keeper at Dover, and Mr. Bayley, the Store=keeper at Chatham, had nothing like the salaries they had in 1792. Some censure, he observed, had been cast upon the Noble Person at the Head of the Department, who was accused of filling offices 'with new men. The conduct' of that Noble Perso n did not bear that construction. The individual •who had been - objected to on account of his youth was competent to discharge the duties of the office. There was an office which had-been exercised by a new man. He alluded to the case of an officer•who had been crippled and hlutilatecl upon the - Peninsula. The individual was at Vittoria with the Duke of Wellington, and a feeling of • what was due to one who had Suffered so much in the service of his country, induced the Noble Person to appoint him store keeper at Portsmouth. This was, perhaps, in th e estimation of the Hon. Member, a crime,_:._ (Rear, hear.)--There was another instance of th e same nature. A person, named Quinn, was appointed Armourer to the Tower. He • had served in the , artillery since 1801, and faced the enemy in most of the battles - upon the-Pe ninsula war. Mr. Bristow, the Chaplain . of C hatham ; Mr. Stone,,Cierk of the Cheque at Bei ; and other persons who had been appoint ed to situations, would have half-pay, in case they • ‘'ere not so employed. Mr. Stewart, late Super ptendant of the 'D.ock at Dublin, was made • , harbour Master, in consequence of which he pro duced a considerable saving to the Ordnance De- Partment. With respect to Mr. Marshall, who was k freeman of Queensborough, 'he didnot see why .he was to be deprived of half-pay on that ac- Count Upon the Whole, the Hon. Gentleman • t o - uld not reasonably charge the Ordnance with wasteful expenditure. He then stated to the House the - comparisonS which , ought to be "made in the estimates'in the present year and • those of 1792. The whole difference between , the EstiMates of 1792 and_ 1821, was about 6 3,0001. From that difference, which was excess :in the present year, they had to take the increase in . the value of articles during the 23 years war. Several millions of stores, which they had not in 17 92. Different works and fortifications. -Half - Pay sixteen times greater than . in 1792. The ~...Spence occasioned by the Union with Ireland. The expence of a more Correct mode, of remu- I terating- Civil Officers, and taking an account of *heir claims.-' He desired it to be known to the . ' C °Mtnittee and the BritiSh Empire, that there \ vas only a difference of 65,000/. in the an. •• • I ntal expence of the Ordnance .

'things might not go forth' to be` paragraphed to newspapers for the sake of 'raising the idea that that House was an Aug;ean stable, so diffi - cult to he cleansed. The honourable Gentle wan Was Obliged to own - that every facility Of , • obtaining information had 'been afforded him at the Ordnance Office. Ile even carried his zeal so far as t o app l y f or - accoents of t h e O r d nance floating batteries. But it unfortunately happened " that tt • was no such thing; in existence; however, .they should have been quite ready to. have given .th e Ilononrable Gentleman a floating ~ atiery -if they flailflailhad one.--- (A laugh.)—As the t-t,tio;tc for. the Army end NaVy had been • (kis; •ded to meet the wishes of the Hon . ourable c,.entl • •. 4 n ll N 'he 4iould . shitpe 444 -nOe in .• the same 3Datitier; Thellon: Neither then went over the order in vviticit he should move the various items. The first which he then moved was for a grant of 42,0001. f9r the salaries of the Master-General of the Ordnance, 'and other Officers and Clerks in that Establishment. Mr. MOORE said, that in consequence the late hour to which the House had sat for some time past, he should in future consult the health of his Majesty's Ministers, and give them the necessary refreshment of repose after their dillgent labours, by moving an adjournment at twelve o'clock every. night. He then moved that the Chairman do report progress. The motion was then agreed to, and the other Orders of the Day were then disposed of.—Ad journed at HALF Pis'r ONE.

MISS SMlTlTSON.—(Airectiwy Occurrcnce.)—A scene took place yesterday at Drury-Lane Theatre of the most affecting nature. Miss S*urnsoN, who was attending the re hearsal of the part of Mary, in The Innkeeper's Daughter, be ing informed that a letter had been left in her name, directed it to be brought up. On opening it her countenance was observed to undergo a distressing change, the colour left her cheeks, and her frame became much agitated. For a few . moments she with dif culty supported herself and then fell on the stage in strong hys terics. The whole of the theatrical corps immediately went to her assistance, and the further. proceedings of the rehearsal stayed. It was now found necessary, from the distressing situation of the young Lady, to send for her - brother, who promptly attended. His feelings, on witnessing the state of his sister, may be better felt than described. Ile took up the letter, and on reading it, placed his hands over his eyes, fell, and remained for some time totally insensible. The afflicted Lady and Gentleman were then removed to two adjoining apartments in the theatre, where every attention possible was paid to them. "On the letter be ing read, it was found to contain a communication of the death of their father. We are happy to say they subsequently re covered and left the theatre. In consequence of the above oc currence Miss KELLY undertook the part of Mary, in The Innkeeper's Daughter. His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT will lezive Dublin on Sunday next, (13th instant) for E n gtand, where his Excellency proposes to re main About a month. During his Excellency's absence the Vice-Regal Powers will be dele gated to the Lords Justices.

Prirook-ed Iltisband, which renders all comedies of - the- piresent .day contemptible '.farte.'s: in com parisbn,- Was - represented last " night at: Covent Garden Theatre. • Miss DANCE, for the.lirst time, supported the part- of Lady Tozonl2l,::arid never did we see a more interesting representative. It was formerly, said that nothing - was wanting to the perfection of acting in the part of Lady Mimi!) but that Mrs. WOFFINGTON should ap pear in the gayer scenes, and Mrs. Civanit in the last, to display the pathos and contrition. it' by such means it were possible to sustain the illusion. Miss DANCE repres4;uted the varied emotions with singular Success. She was all elegarit gaiety and spirit in the earlier scenes, and deeply affect ing in the conclusion. She was most denrqdly ap plauded.- We can also bear an equally faVourable testimony respecting Mr. C. K EMBLE'S Lcircl Town ly. The character was uniformly_ supported with dignity, feeling, and judgment, 'and: gtrongly excited the tribute of sympathy. lIANovEa-Sou_tit.E.--The - Concert - for the be nefit of the three Sisters of the late Mr.'IrAitTLE MAN, we are rejoiced to say, was last "night at tended by an audience that cornpletely:filled the room.
