I the old government of the island there were vil lage offlc.ers who trained the militia, and who called them out at certain times to exercise.— Since the British Government had commenced, they had been called out, and they had .unani rnously refused, becaufe there existed a sys,tem of misrul e . and misgovernment in those islands, which, - the sooner it was put a stop .to the better for our connexion with those islands.

The CHANL rt ELLo of the ExcHEQLLR said he had obtained much information on this subject, and should lay it before the House : but he did not find reason for making any alteration in the. duty, beyond that alleviatio n a s t o malt made from beer. or big whichavas made last year. MPREVENTIVE SEILVICE.—REVENUE. r. Wanat was anxious to make one or two earks. w ith respect t o the mode. of service with mcii Gov ernment had f or some t i me esta b l i shed a view to the prevention of smuggling. He. had understood the Right Heil. Gentleman to. have said,' on a late occasion, that he was ouite satisfied with are measures at present instituted for that purpos e ; and that on a comparison of the illicit importation of French wines add spi ;its last year, with that which had been carried °tl in the preceding ode, he was-led to presume th at smuggling-10d very cons id era bl y di m i n i shed. lie (Mr. Warre) was not prepared to state that I t had increased ; but he was very desirous of calling the attention of the House. to the manner in which it had been proposed to carry this plan 4 uo effect. H e could only premise, that it was ch a mode as Mr. Pitt—when some of the du ":s: in consequence of which smugglers found it a e va ntageous to- exercise a contraband trade,were the imposed —would never haye thought of, for ;Ile attainment of such an object. At the same is let him not be misunderstood, as if he 1 . 1-1. undervaluing the difficulties whidt su.r ,,!unded its attainment, or as if .the fair trader ; ;Lid consequently .the national revenue, was both to be protected. He was aware that they ti ° l„ th „, r s e t quire protection and- he knew, too, that Ih'4"f-ion-of many Honourable Gentlemen to their o, of : any one of those duties was talui rlul uil of the absolute necessity of main he lig ti le I t . wanted senue upon its present scale. What .ient ! ern I.? ascertain was, did the Right Hon. s Yster n ti a ." Intend to keep up the same preventive Peculia all,37ear I—(llear !)—lt was, indeed, a f rom a novel system. The whole coast lvas . n , a l c nYshead t o th e mout h o f t h e Th ames '6, 4cu ed by armed coasters .and sch ooners . r eal ; were blockhouses and forts on the shore in iti et ar succession, and every step you took you tot s : T a n - --a sailor, generally—armed with pis- Lic e -1 ' a Cutlass. 'He did not believe that a t er - Nu so manned had had the effect of preventing d eß .!g il ug on that range of coast, to any great Plai n e ; and he was far from intending to corn -I,ass that da4llo. the men so employed in a hard, a ha ,l'' a nd a vexatious service had miscon frie.. e,' themselves. He had beeri told by a it iu rl u of his, a naval officer, that 1500 men were tiro, en g a ged ; the b o d y being composed en b-A°f Sea men and officers. Upon this subject v a t am. cue word to offer; he would ask any na.- w ho might h appen to b e i n t h e H ouse, i. hs' an it there were none th en p resen t, h e W ou ld Lin.,, h y Lord of th e Ad m i ralty who might hear all the eth er this was not the very worst of fo r a , !ervices to whi c h t h e navy were liable- , 7 hear ql'dslannaan, for instance,-to take ?—(H ear , kely t wh ether it was not that which was most fessi on eil!.inguish in him the pride of his pro et'p out 0f7.001d no t every parent be desirous to. tiotHd tf„±se It his s T..}ie fact was, that it sill).- soci et ,, 3 '°'lng men to every sort of tempta ti;eY cOuld ha trl ey had none; immediate, restraint' seeouj went t l - p ve l 'one ; • for it was impossible when ah :"°ll nds,,, that the captain's ! eye u is ,; va Ys upon then-.—Hear, hear .)

He knew that those e '..vas,t;,,llad been reasonably apprehended, and. be f onv arful that at some future day they would oll'e r .i n : not to be imaginary. He could not help. 'Wa s b 6bserration with respect to ah act which S ecr e t r : r u ht .in, during the last session, by the tOQine s Y of the Treasury ;—an act- of .such ex eefoc(;veritY, that it did, hy its own nature, tend , t 1 fact, wr °rtt, and to defeat its own.ends. p osses . rendeted a person who happened to be in ' sl° l l of a single pint of smuggled spirits, this l e to the penalty of 1001. And to show that c 1 1.,: vas absolutely the case, he would state a cir ors_tance that had recently occurred within his 0 : 4 ? ktrirow ledge. From this the House would see, t th e act, i fall not upon the stringier of a whole cargo cogamoaities- .atteßpte4 to be imported, bat" upon the lanOcent" owner Of a small quantity ofa spirits, perhaps ac eidentally-picked up :—A fisherman was return ing fromafishing, and in the act .of.landing, in order. to go into hts oven house from which he had been absent for two days, when a lieutenant of this blockading system seized upon his person one_ pint of foreign spirits. The officer took him before the nearest magistrate, who happened to be a friend of:his.(Mr. Warre's) and demanded the penalty of.lool. to be adjudged against the fisherman, according to this act. This act, it was to be. remarked; left with the magistrate ao dis cretionary or mitigating- power whatsoaver. The way the magistrate acted was this : he knew the man, and he knew that he was not a professed smuggler.. He also believed him to be of a good character,-and he knew that he could not possibly pay the penalty of 100/.ave:l4f he were to decide that he had become liable to it. He also knew that in default,of payment, he must hold the man in prison, and that he would infallibly ruin his wife and .family., He. therefore told the officer in plain terms that he must apply el3e.where. The officerinsiated on the penalty ; and the magis trate at length declared that he did not believe the spirits to he smuggled, and would not, there fore,. be the. means.of ruining the man and his family ; and that if the officer would still insist upon going for the penalty, he must betake him. self elsewhere.----(Hear, hear,)—Might not a case of the.same character happen in other places ? As for the. extent to which. the system prevailed along the coast, he could assure the Right Hon. Gent. that if he wished to take the fresh air there, he. would be very apt to meet with the individuals he spoke of.—(A laugh.) Sir. Gonoz Cocauyas had very great plea sure, ie stating that from the reports made to the Admiralty by qualified- parties,all the individuals employed upon this service conducted themselves extremely "well. There were soldiers among them as well as sailors ; and both officers and men messed' together with the greatest regularity and harmony. With respect to one of the parts of the Hon. Gent.'s speech, it might .be suffi cient to .say, that every- person who was placed there as midshipman, had previously passed his ex amination, so as to be qualified for the rank of Lieutenant; consequently his education asu sea man wasacompleteclaas it-were, before he entered upon the service. With regard to what the ser vice had to do,- he could only . say that they had had some distinguished actions.—(A laugh)—He could - assure- the. Ron. Gentleman opposite that the smugglers did not come down in boats only, but in large armies. —(A laugh.)—They came by 100 at a -timet—(a laugh)—So that this service had regular actions with them, in which many officers had been killed and wounded ; and lists of the - killed. and wounded were traasmitted in the usual form to the Admiralty. From every information which the Admiralty had yet re ceived, both -from the Magistrates in those dis tricts, and from persons sent down by the Com missioners; .to inspect the service, he had - much pleasure in declaring that it was impossible for men to conduct so difficult a service in a better manner. OLD STORES. Mr. GRENFELL felt much gratificatipn in stat ing that he hoped much public goad would re sult from the attention of the House being - so often called by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Creevey) to the very-slovenly manner in which they had been accustomed of late to vote away lara b e sinus of the public money.—(Hear.)—He hadhimself been looking over the Navy and Ordnance esti mates of the last year, and he found in them one head upon which he should make a few observa tions. The head of which he spoke was that of " Old Stores ;" and it would be felt by every Gentleman who heard him, that it was as much the duty of the House to watch over the way in which the public property was disposed of, as it was their duty to watch the way in which the public money was voted fur its purchase. He found, then, the item of 263,000/. receiv ed by sale of old stores, without any explana tion whatever being subjoined in the estimates of last year, or, in short, any thing that could lead the House to form an opinion, even as to the way in which these stores had been disposed of.— (Hear.)—ln the Ordnance Estimates of the same year, a sum of 285,000/. was taken credit for, " by Old Stores," without the least notice of the natlde in which they, also, had been disposed of. Now his motive .for mentioning the fact was this—that in some instances he had reason to be- liege these old stores had been disposed of by private contract. Surely, the system either of purchasing new stores, or disposing of old ones, by private contract, was liable to much abuse. He must express a hope that the next estimates to be laid before the House would give some ex planation upon the subji.sct. He wished to know whether the Hon..l3aronet opposite would have any objection to furnish the required information as regarded the Navy Estimates ? Sir GEORGE WARBENDER could have BO objec tion. The system pursued was, that the best price, should be obtained for these stores which ley could procure by means of public auction. Mr. GRENFELL'S objection did not apply to stores sold by public auction, but by private con tract. If none of these naval stores were dis posed of in the latter made, - he was satisfied.. But he wished to ask an Ikon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Ward), whether Ordnance Stores, the public property, had not been so disposed of by private-contract: _ IVARD, - in . reply, said a few words, which were quite inaudible in the gallery. , In answer to a question from Mr. RICARDO, whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer was prepared now to state (as he on a former occasion said he would not object to explain) what was the nature of a transaction on the part of • the Bank of England relative to the purchase of a very large quantity of silver. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that he meant to avoid giving any,explanation of the matter until the whole of that transaction, and every proceeding relatives to it, were com pleted. He-could not, therefore, explain Lim self further till those arrangements were finally settled, whieh he thought, wOtili be in• the. mouth of March or A pill. • • Mi. W.kanz wished to knew when -- th street, upon-which , suthlarre sums- ot:the money. had been 'expended, would -be completed, and by how muc h the total expenses, ncurred the Conunis - sione.rs under the NeW Street A et,'in• the - execution of .the duties confided - to them, would exceed the original estimate. Mr.'HuSKlssoN could :not undertake to say when the pur l ioSes of that Act wood he coin; pleted. It'directed that all the purchases to, be made under it shPuld be . made within seven years. They had all been contracted .for; but in Many instances the parties had not yet made good. their titles to, the' entire satisfaction of the Commis sioners. . He did believe th a t i n the.course of. two years from ,this time the. street would he completed and opened, paw much the expenses would surptiss the estimate he'did not knOw. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUES:, the Committees of :Supply, and of Ways and'iVleaßS, were postponed to Friday next. MALT _ _...... The.C4A - xcso - s Lon of the -ExcuLou-Ert - -moved the second reading or the Malt, &c.. Duties Bill. Mr. CREEVEY opposed the second reading of this Bill: They -had now been -for three weeks sitting, almost constantly, in a Coinmittee of Sup ply, and yet they had no estithateS.-- 7 (Hear.)--:s- He had been told that the Secretary of the Treas. sury, in communications addressed to those who were in political connexion with the LordS Of the Treasury, -had informed them that it would he a very short session ; that all the would' be over by Easter. in other words, this was to say that the Queen was_sacrifieed; that Ministers-were safe; and, as-for money, that nobody . troubled himself about its disposal.--(Hear!)--Still the House had no Estimates. But they were to come.• They were at length to come ; and they would present themselves, all at once, in the shape of Image books, which, if Hon. Gentlemen did their duty as Members of Parliament, it would take them three weeks to examine but which, as usual, they - would be required to go through at one sittirsg, or in two or three nights at 'the fur-, thest.—(Hear !)—Now he was d e t erm i ne d th a t he never would leave things in this -state of own will. Those, estimates they would never have, unless•they stopped the supplies which time Con stitution had put into their'hands ; and upon this principle it was that he opposed, and meant to oppose, the second reading of this !) He-spoke,-howe ver , w i t h some hesitation on -the subject; as he saw an Hon. Baronet on the second bench opposite; he meant one Of those - lay' Lords, as some persons called him, but as he (Mr. Cree vey) styled him, ,one of 'those sham,• mock Lords of the-Admiralty. He understood that that Hon. Baronet had said to -that oolitical connexion and acqua;ntsisce of 'which he 'formed so distin!guished an ornaments—(Hear, and laughter)---that he meant, on this occasion, to inflict a strong and signal punishment upon him (Mr. Creevey) for doing as he did _mean to do—persever ing in his opposition till the Ifouse got these reluctant estimates.—(A laugh and Cheering.)--s- The Chancellor of the Exchequer they kneW had thrown out that the house was to find that there would be effected 'a saving of 1,000,000/. this year.—(Hear Ds—The - estimates, however. were not forthcoming Co- prove that position ; and he (Mr. Creevey) was resolute to oppose, as he had done before', every thing which bore the slightest' resemblance to a vote of supply;; fer, persisting in this course of conduct, he: humbly hoped that the Hon. Bart., who had so obligingly invited his lion. Friends to the benefit—(Laugh ter,).--swould,'notwithstanding, its the tenderness of-his eoMpassion, spare him. Perhaps the Hon. Gentleman -would 'remember that there was a time. when lie hiMself was a tip top patriot— rather in the radical line-, to be sure—but this re collection and former associations might plead with him for his (Mr. Creevey's) obstinacy.— (A Laugh.),---On the principles he had already explained, he opposed the second reading.— (Cheers.) . . , • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the Hon. Gentleman would find his intended opposition to be an occupation that it was little worth his while - to pursue. They had already considered the number of seamen, for instance, to be voted for the service of the year. Would it not be sostisthirig inconsistent if the House were after Wards to withhold the means of paving their wages ? The. [louse should recollect that the pre sent were not new taxes ; they were part of those which were usually granted. As to the other estimates spoken of; he could assure Hon. Gentle men that the utmost haste was now making to have them ready, and he hoped they would be in a. state to be laid before time House in the course of next week ; and no measure would be introduced respecting them uotil they were a sufficient time in the hands of members. Sir It WILSON concurred in the propriety of oppasing . the Bill at the present moment. lie thought it was their duty as Members to: oppose any grants of Supply while his Majesty's Minis ters continued, as he conceived they did, to act in opposition to the declared Wishof the p€ople. It would not be regular to say that the, majority of that House had, by last night's vote, declared war upon the people: but he . would maintain that, as a majority on the other side persisted in not listening to the prayers of the penple, it was' but a fair'exercise of their privileges for Members on'higthe Oppositiou) side to retaliate by refus ing to - grant any Supplies. • Sir r rHOMAS LETHBRIDGE (we believe) said,. that he had as much of 'that. constitutional jea lousy with which the grant of Supplies ought to he exercised, as could he found on the•other side of the House ; but still he could not concur in the objection which had been made to the present. Bill. lie thought it .nccesgary to support ,his Majesty's - Ministers on.,this occasion,, and - he could not but regard the opposition.no w given as vexatious:.--(ifear !)--At the same time, as an independent Member of • Parliament, he. wished that every possible saving should be • made in the' present distressed state of the country, and he would concur in any measure.•proposed on the other side . which should . have that effect.= (Hear !) Colonel DAVIES was glad to hear such senti merits as-tlios'e wltich tell from tie Ilan. (len tle ., man who `spoke last. - lie could assure hint that -the - objection to the present motion mack at his (the opposition) sitle, arose solely:Troth thAr wish . to corro:ct 'what they cor;sideTt, , ,.l : a grleVance. They 14';ilit;d, - to hive it diStinctly 'uliderstood 'What retrenchniews' it was the intention of Mi nisters to make. Isi their pi-, , :.:ent coLirse they Only exercised the undlobte.l privislege of the Utilise .to iefu - se alt . :supplies, where a grievance. complained of 'w -as. not remt,lied.:--(lear.)-- But for such refusals of sz.ii.-,pli-,:!s by the /louse, it. was 'notorious.- to all that they siniuid not now -fie :existing as a House of. Commons, or have i:f fectually guarded .against the oilce enormous in fluence, of the Crown. .11e did not say that that influence. was as .great now as.in form :4 times ; but when he saw Isis Majesty's Ministers wholly , regardless of the prayers of the people, he tln it.the duty of. Members who had the in-' teresis of their Country at heart to 'exercise. their constitutional 'priv;lege iu opposing any .money_ %rants. Mr. IfvNl - E was surpriSed_ hear the term " factions" applied to Gentlemen at his side of the House. fl considered that the term would be. more applicable to the other side, and that the majority of last night was. factious in the,high e st degree.----(Order, order, chair.) The SPCAKEtt said that he would first remind the Ihun. Member that the word " factious" had not been used by any Meinber. If such wo r d had been applied, to any portion of the, House, he would have called to order, considering it disor derly ; but certainly-to apply the term " factious" to-arnajority• of. that. House was still more dis orderly.—(Tear.) Mr. liuME said lie was sorry for having used the word, which he had mistaketi . ,for the word vexatious used by. the Han. Mernb._ir. He could assure the. House. that .it was.not hiS intention 'to have mentioned' any other word than that used by the Bon. Member. But •he begged to. say'thaf he:did consider the majority of last night as mast vexatious, he'nz, as he cons'dered it, ca.!culated only to produCe_ vexation an] disappointment in the country. He prophesied that the vexation would- not 'end here, nor end at all, unless mea sures of a conciliatory nature were adopted. That decision, he had no - hesitation in saying, was iri opposition to. the great majority of the people' of. England.---(hear, bear, from the rni;. nisterial benches.)--416 repeated it, it was in bp position to the declared opinions of 9-10ths of the people, and he challenged any Ifoo. Gent. on the other side to produce one petition from any part of the. country in support of such a measure. Under these circumstances he considered it his duty to oppose the granting of any supplies. Mr. INlANiriEr.i.) deprecated the use of the term vexatious, as applied to last night's decision: He would say, for his own part, that he had voted in that majOrity from 'a con scientieuS feeling that, in so doing, lie was only discharging his duty. He differed .widely from 'the lion. Gentleman who spoke laSt, and who 'stated that the vote was in 'opposition to the sentiments of the people,— In the place' which he represented (Leicester) he could say that there was a -part of the inhabitants not inferior in . numbers, and • cer tainly superior in reSpectahility, 't o ' thos e is ho held the contrary opinion, who fully concurred with the majority of last night, and aareed with die priaciples on . tv ICch that 'decision was given. For ,his own 'part he was unwilling to wound the feelings of the unfortunate Lads. whose conduct he considered had brought her into the situation in which she stood, and,-there fore, he had avoided taking any part in the dis cnssion; but_ he thought it too much, after_ all that had passed, for the Hon. Gentleman to - say that the majority was in opposition to the send, ments o; the people. lie considered the fact to be quite otherwise. Sir J. NC.wrotur could not concur in objecting' to the second reading, for he thought some-sup plies must be granted ; but he thought that mi nisters should use every exertion to have the ac counts of the estimates at an earlier period, in order to satisfy the minds of the people as soon PF:possible, as to what efforts had been made for their relief. Ile would not now oppose the ;rant; but certainly, if ever the :esti ma te s should be so delayed ag4in, he would object. to voting one until they were produced. MAa - rix. concurred in opposing the mo tion, on the ground taken by the Member for Appleby, but there was -also another ground— the non-production of the Public Accounts. Strangers were now ordered to withdraw, and the House divided— • For. the world reading ,, 7l .. Apiast it Nhjenity fnr the second reading —4.19 The Bill was accordingly read second time, and committed for to-morrow; as was the Trans- fer of Giants Bill. TiIB'QUEEN'S ANNUITY BTLL.
