In as extensive prac trt lice for some years he has employed them in the most ob stinate Bilious Cases with unvarying success. They operate principally as a deobstruent and purgative, they promote a proper action of the liver in the secretion of bile, or cor rect it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually removed ; and by giving tone to the biliary ducts and strength to the sys tem, they afford relief to those who suffer from nervous attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, indigestion, and gouty affection.

THE finest System of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, anti thus to regulate the Patt sions ; unrestrained, and insubordinate, they impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have trade sacred ; to curb but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit their efferves cence. Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public wel fare is promoted when professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their Studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an un guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people ;" but, it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empy ricism, and to counteract, as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, hi s powerless stat e , b ecome susceptible in contemplating of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most com plicated state of e xhaustion may be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety long resi dence in tropical Climes, and many other causes, will fre quently derange the Nervous System ; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHYLIS can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Sci ence having divested its antidote of those distressing pro perties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly ener getic, and eminently successful. Educated in London, schooled in our professional at tainments by its splendid medical characters, and having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the British Surgical practice with the Continental, our pre tensions to superiority (in a branch we have selected) are matured by experience, which is evinced by the daily ap plications we receive, even from distant countries.

Mr. ROBINSON called the attention of Government to the effect this announcement would have on the com mercial relations of the country. He hoped such arrange_ nients would be made as would prevent any unnecessary obstruction being thrown in the way of British commerce. He thought it was highly important to advert for one moment to the situation of the colonies. Vessels were now being fitted out to go to those ports, and he was nut aware that any thing hail been done in those countries to guard against the infeciion. Unless Ministers, therefore, sent over some information to those parts, they might be much alarmed, and commerce might be pre vented. He thought it extremely advisable that Government should do everything in their power to pre vent unnecessary alarm in foreign Governments, other wise when vessels arrived in these ports considerable diffi culty would attend them. Mr. WARBURTON liopi:4 that Government would consider their primary object to be to resist the spread of the disease—in his view mercantile activity had been t'ie cause of the spreading of the disease to the alarming extent to which it had already arrived. However inconvenient it might be to have mercantile in tercourse interrupted, he trusted that Government would not flinch from doing so, where it seemed necessary for the safety of the country. He trusted that publicity would be given to every case that occurred, and of the characteristics that attended it, as it was highly important for all medied men to be made acquainted with every thing that relate-1 to this dreadful scourge. Mr. HUME trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would not follow the course recommended by the Hon. Member for Bridport, of putting a stop to commercial intercourse, as that would be the very means, in his opinion, best adapted to cause the spread of the disease. He believed Go vernment would do well not to create alarm upon this subject ; the-very idea of restraining commercial com munication was preposterous, as a very large portion of the community of this country depended for their daily bread on commerce—if that, therefore, was sus pended, it would be adding famine to the disease. He had no hesitation in saying the first paper printed by the Board of Health had spread terror throughout the country, and bad been productive of the worst effects. He lamented that in the collieries in the south of Scotland the disease arose chiefly from the desperate situation in which the unfortunate men working in these collieries were placed. He thought that his Majesty's Government would do far more to prevent the spreading of the disease by adding to the comforts of th e l ower c l asses, t h an b y any restrictions upon commercial intercourse. Mr. STRICKLAND considered that the disease would be aggravated by any attempt to stop commercial inter course. Sir H. HARDINGE said, though he could not concur either with the Hon. Member for Middlesex or the Hon. Member for Bridport, he conceived it would be expedient to keep all our military force as much in barracks as pus. sible. This was done at ,Vienna and Berlin, and at Ber lin only twelve soldiers died; and the number also at Vienna was trifling, owing to strict discipline and confine ment to the barracks. Of course the military were bound in duty to take their share in endeavouring to stop the cala mity; yet, at the same time, he thought his Majesty's Mi nisters could not too eirly adopt the course followed at Berlin and Vienna. it was evidently dangerous to have 1,000 soldiers spread over Tothill-fields among such a pc pulation—dangerous not only to those soldiers themselves, but the army at large, from the risk of communicating the disease to other barracks. He hoped, therefore, his Nlaje.ty's Government would take the proper precaution, and as much as possible keep the military in barracks, Mr. DIXON was against any plan of attempting to stop the disease by cutting off communication. Though the disease bad prevailed for sonic time at Kirkintilloch, and the intercourse between that place and Glasgow was fre quent, yet not one case had occurred in the latter place. Mr. BRISCOE said some of the parishes in London were in such a state as to call for the immediate attention of Government and the local authorities. In Bethnal green, for instance, there were 6,000 persons receiving Parish relief; and in the workhouse there were 1,100,..with only 370 beds. There were also 80 ca , ca of contagious fever, which was daily increasing. He had ascertained these facts from peraoaal inquiry yesterday afternoon, and he earnestly recommended the subject to the attention of his Majesty's Government. _ In answer to an Hon, Member, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would that evening lay on the table documents respecting the cholera, the same with those which had been presented in the other House. He also gave:notice that it was his intention to move for additional power to be given to the Pi ivy Council, for the purpose of adopting and enforcing means to prevent the disease. Mr. GOULBURN was of opinion that the Privy Coun cil had full powers at present for any purpose of that kind. Mr. HUNT had been constantly calling the attention of Government to the distress of the poorer classes, but without effect. The Hun. Gentleman had spoken of the distress in the workhouse of Bethnal-green, but he cotal tell him that the whole parish was in a frightful state of distress. He would again call the attention of the House, which he had already done twice, to the ventilation of the House. That ventilation came from an impure source.— (A laugh.) It was not a subject, however, to be treated lightly, and, while they were endeavouring to prevent con tagion in others, it was also their duty to attend to them- selves. The most offensive smells at timas came from these ventilators; and as you, Sir (addressing the Speaker), have the ordering of these—(A laugh)--I hope that something will be done to abate the nuisance. If the contagion reaches the House there will be flying right and left to get out of the way. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET was anxious to take the present opportunity a putting a question to the Noble Lord opposite, home the House went into a Committee of Supply, in some measure connected with the subject which had been just under discussion, in relation to the pauperism of England. Within the last ten days reports had gone abroad that Commissioners were about being appointed to inquire into the state of the poor, and the funds by which they were relieved. Whether the Finciple of the appointment of the Commissioners was good or bad, he would not now stop to discusa ; but he wished to know whether they had been appointed, and whether the Noble Lord had any objection to state the nature of the instruc tions given ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Commissioners about whom the Noble Lord had put the question to him bad not yet received their appoint ment, nor were the instructions of Government drawn up ; however, as soon as they were, there could be no objection to their being furnished. Sir J. GRAHAM then rose to move the order of the thy for the House going into a Committee of Supply, CURRENCY. Mr. S. WORTLEY was very desirous of putting a question to the Noble Lord opposite respecting the currency question, He understood a report had been spread abroad, to which many people attached a belief, that there was some intention on the part of his ]Majesty's Ministers to alter the law which passed in 1828, relating to the small note restriction. It was of great importance that the public should not be under a delusion—if delusion it were—upon the subject ; and therefore he begged to know whether there was any truth in the report that Government in tended to propose an alteration in the currency'? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not aware that any report, such as the Hon. Gentleman had alluded to, bad obtained belief, and he begged to assure the Hon. Gentleman that, with respect to the currency ques tion, Government had no intention whatever to propose any alteration.—(Loud cheers.) FINANCIAL YEAR, In answer to a question put to Sir JAMES GRAHAM by Mr. Goutentw, relative to bringing forward the Navy Estimates at the present time, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, in the Committee, it was his intention to state the reasons which had induced him to do so. Mr. GOULBURN imagined that Government had some reasons which induced them to make the alterations tiny had proposed with regard to the financial year. He could not, however, perceive any great advantage in that arrangement ; probably the Right Hon. Baronet or the Noble Lord would be able to point it out. Mr. ROBINSON then rose, and put a question to the Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), but, from the tone of voice in which the question and answer were given, and from the noise which prevailed in the House, neither the one nor the other was heard in the gallery.

THE FAST DAY.--It affords us the most sincere gratification to state that the fast •day on Thursday was observed in Edinburgh, and throughout the bounds of the Presbytery, with the greatest decency and devoutness ; and our satisfaction is not in any degree lessened, because our anticipations in this matter have been agreeably disap pointed. Our objections to the measure were founded on the observation of many years, that fast days were gene rally the signal for all sorts of dissipation ; but on this oc casion all classes,sn far as we had an opportunity of judging, or have heard, conducted themselves with the most exem plary propriety. The churches of every denomination were fully attended ; and this city exhibited, as is usual on the Sabbath, a moral picture which no other large town, we believe, i❑ the world, is known to do—of a great com munity engaged in religious duties—undeformed by any visible accompaniments of profligacy and squalor. While, therefore, we congratulate our fellow-citizens on this oc casion, we see no reason to retract the objections which we had previously stated, being quite convinced that Thurs day must be regardid as the exception, and not the rule ; and we shall rejoice most cordially if it shall be found that no disastrous consequences can lie traced to the observance of that day as one of relaxation from the ordinary pursuits of the labouring classes.—New North Briton. VIENNA, FEB. I.—The Austrian Observer, after a short notice of the engagement between the in surgents and the Papal troops near Cesena, and of the entrance of the latter into Forli, proceeds as follows : " Some disorders which occurred at Forli among those newly-raised troops not accustomed to strict discipline, induced his Eminence, Cardinal Albani, to call for the co-operation of the Imperial troops, in order by their presence to allay the excitement of the people against the Papal troops, caused by the occurrences at Forli, and by facilitating the discipline of the latter, to dispel the fears of the principal inhabitants, and thus to effect the occupation of the country in the manner the least burdensome and the most conformable to the solicitude of his Holiness for the tranquillity of his subjects. The strict discipline and exemplary conduct of the Imperial troops, during their stay in the Legation last year, had left so la vourable an impression on the minds of the inhab.tahts that the calling in of their troops satisfied the general wish; and while it became necessary for the protection of the peaceable inhabitants, in consequence of the exc esses com mitted by the Papal troops in Forli,it la at the sam e t i me the surest means of restoring in the shortest possible time, according to the wiskes expressed by the Great Power., the subjection and pacification of the province, which has been agitated by the intrigues of a well-known party." LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1832. GALEAZZO SFORZA, AN ITALIAN TYRANT, 1476. Another conspiracy was formed the same year, at illilan, against Galeazzo Sforza, whose yoke became insupportable to all who had any elevation of soul. There was no crime of which that false and ferocious man was not believed to be capable. Among other crimes, he was ac cused of having poisoned his mother. It was remarked of him, that, enjoying the spectacle of ! astonishment and despair, he always - preferred to strike the most suddenly and cruelly those whom he had given most reason to rely on his friend- ship. Not satisfied with making the most dis tinguished women of his states the victims of his seduction or his violence, he took pleasure in publishing their shame—in exposing it to their brothers or husbands. He not unfrequently gave them up to prostitution. His extravagant pomp exhausted his finances, which he afterwards recruited by the most cruel extortion on the people. He took pleasure in inventing new and most atrocious forms of capital punishment ; even that of burying his victims alive was not the most cruel. At last three young nobles, of families who had courageously resisted the usurpation of Francesco Sforza, and who had themselves experienced the injustice and out rages of his son, resolved to deliver their country from this monster ; not doubting that, when he had fallen, the Milanese would joyfully unite in substituting a free government for a tyranny. Girolamo Olgiati, Carlo Visconti, and Andrea Lampugnani, resolved, in concert, to trust. only to themselves, without admitting one other person into their secret. Their enthusiasm had been excited by the lessons of their literary in structor, Colas di Montano, who continually set before them the grandeur of the ancient Repub lics, and the glory of those who had delivered them from tyranny. Determined on killing the Duke, they long exercised themselves in the handling of the dagger, to be more sure of striking him, each in the precise part of the tyrant's body assigned to him. Animated with a religious zeal, not less ardent than their repub lican enthusiasm, they prepared themselves by prayer, by vows to St. Stephen, and by the assistance of the mass, for the act which they were about to perform. They made choice of the 26th of December, 1476, St. Stephen's day, on which they knew that the Duke Galeazzo would go in state to the church of the saint. They waited for him in that church ; and when they saw him advance between the Ambassadors of Ferrara and Mantua, they respectfully ap proached him, their caps in hand. Feigning to keep off the crowd, they surrounded him, and struck him all at the same instant, in the midst of his guards and courtiers. G a l eazzo Sf or za fell dead under their weapons ; and the crowd which filled the church saw the tumult, arid heard the cries, without comprehending the cause.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia, Vol. XXVII. Sismondi' s History ofthe Ita lian Republics. , how to conso lid ate t his good state, to which he pretended to have restored the Romans. He continued to occupy them with allegories, fes tivals, and processions, while they demanded of him something more positive. His head was turned by vanity ; and he assumed a degree of pomp which excited ridicule. He had soon to support a war against the nobles whom he had exiled ; and though several of the Colonnas pe rished in an ill-conducted attack on Rome, Cola, in repelling them, gave proofs of incapa city and cowardice. The Pope sent a legate to Rome, to appease the civil war, and this legate, being a French noble, sided with the nobility. The latter having taken possession of a division of the town, the tocsin summoned the people to defend themselves, but it sounded in vain ; and on the 15th of December, 1347, Cola di Rienzo, obliged to abandon the capitol, retreated to the castle of St. Angelo, and afterwards sought refuge with Charles IV., s on o f J o h n , King of Bohemia, who gave him up to the Pope in 1352.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia, Vol. XXVII. Sismondi's History of the Italian States. _ - - STORY OF RIENZO. Cola di Rienzo, though of obscure birth, soon signalised himself by his progress in letters, by his familiarity with all the writers of antiquity, by his knowledge of the manners and laws of the Romans, and of the monuments and inscriptions which still ornamented the capital of the world. No one possessed, like him, the art of explain ing them, and of striking out in his explanations those traits of grandeur and glory which dis tinguish the ancient republic. Born at Rome, he was a more ardent Roman than republican ; seeking rather to restore the sovereignty of the ancient city than the liberty of mankind. He rejected, with deep indignation, the usurpa tions of two barbarians ; the one a German, cal ling himself Roman Emperor; the other a Frenchman, who called himself the pontiff of Rome. All those who rose to eminence by the study and example of the ancient Romans, ap peared to him bound to labour to bring back Italy and mankind under the dominion of Rome. Petrarch had also a religious respect for the name of Rome ; but living by turns at the Court of Avignon, or at those of the tyrant s of Lombardy, he had much less elevation of soul and true enthusiasm than Cola di Rienzo. The latter was susceptible of all die emotion which the fine arts give ; and he employed his own sensibility to act on a susceptible people. Sometimes at the foot of one of the most admi rable monuments of ancient architecture, he ex plained its purpose to the crowd, by which he was always attended ; he made them feel its beauty, and would take occasion to recal the grandeur and freedom of ancient Rome, which still spoke to her children from those colossal ruins. He would contrast it with the state of degradation and suffering to which Rome was then reduced. He sometimes interpreted in the public places the inscriptions which he dis covered ; and would draw forth proofs of the sovereignty which Rome exercised over the whole world. Sometimes he displayed in the capitol allegorical pictures which he had composed, and, in explaining them, would call upon the Roman people to quit their state of servitude, and re cover what he emphatically called the good state. . . . The Colonna, Orsini, and Savelli families, always at war with each other, garri soned all the fortresses in Rome with banditti, their satellites, and at their head made daily at tacks in the streets upon each other. Cola di Rienzo had a classic hatred for these turbulent nobles ; a hatred which he believed he had in herited from the Gracchi. He felt anxious to be made tribune of the people, in order to de liver them from the yoke of the patricians ; and on the 20th of May, 1347, while the Colonnas had quitted Rome with a small body of troops, he sum moned the people to take possession of the Go vernment and of the guard of the city. The Romans appointed him, with the Bishop of Orvieto, the Pope's Vicar, or depository of his spiritual p ower , as tribunes. They ascended the capitol a lt oget h er. At f i rst the revo l ut i on seemed accompli s h e d. T he power of the name of Rome ; the joy of men of letters throughout Europe ; the hatred provoked by the Oman nobles ; the indifference of the Pope, and his distance from Rome, favoured this revolution. — For some weeks it was approved and acknow ledged by all Italy. But Cola di Rienzo, though eloquent, learned, and a poet, was nei ther a tatesmau nor a warrior ; lie knew not IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 13.

The Speaker and several Members left the Hous,, and shortly returned, when the Right Hon. Gen tleman read a list of the Bills to which the Royal Assent had been given. " OUR LADYE" CHAPEL. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of the Lond4n-bridge Approaches Bill. Mr. BRISCOE said he had been requested to call the attention of the Hou a to a circumstance of some importance which had lately excited great public notice, he alluded to " Our Ladye" Chapel, in Southwark, and he was required to ask the Hon. Member to consent to a delay of three weeks previous to the Bill going into Committee. He had no desire to oppose the second reading of this Bill, but he wished for a short delay, in order that the necessary evidence could be adduced to support a case in favour of granting the open space in front of that chap,-1, that that fine edifice might be fully seen by the public. It was originally stated by Mr. Rennie, the architect of the bridge, that the building ought to be restored ; but would the House believe that it was the intention of the London-bridge Com mittee to build on the ground in front of it, and so to shut it out from public view. If he were not al , lowed the delay he sought for, he felt himself called upon to oppose the second reading of the Alderman WooD dissented from the proposition of granting the delay.] Then he felt bound to state his ob jections. He referred to a drawing of the building and the ground, and said that all that was wanted was a frontage 01130 feet, a portion of which b longed to the church, and he knew that in the Committee he could make out a case for granting that space. He ad verted to the great expense to which the public had gone in opening other fine edifices to the public view, and particularly instanced St. Bride's and St. Alartin's churches. In this case it was intended on the land opposite to the chapel to build a colonnade, and therefore by having time chapel within the public view the appearance of the street would be greatly improved. Mr. Alderman WOOD said the Hon. Member had taken the House entirely by surprise in stating such grounds of olijntion to the Bill. This Bill had no refer ence to the Southwark side of the water, but was to enable the Bridge Committee to make a street from the bridge to the Bank of England. Regarding the chapel alluded to, the Committee had complied with the requests that had been made to them ; a space of 50 feet had at first been asked, which was granted ; then 60, and last of all '7O feet, were required, and. the Committee had given 70 feet, of which nothing but an Act of Parliament could deprive them. He hoped the House would not stop the progress of this Bill, otherwise a great public improvement would be impeded. After a few words from Mr. C. PELIIA3I, Mr. HUNT said it appeared to him that the Bill had nothing whatever to do with the Southwark side of the bridge. Sir R. INGLIS suggested the propriety of allowing the Bill to be read a second time, for the purpose of enabling its merits to be gone into in Committee; and if the Hon. Member for Surrey still continued his objections, it vas competent for him to divide the House on the third reading. Mr. BRISCOE then withdrew his oppcsition, observ ing that nothing of a personal nature had induced him to oppose the second reading of the Bill. He wished to know whether the Hon. Member for Preston had seen the Bill. Mr. HUNT observed that he had not. Mr. D. GILBERT trusted the Bill would be allowed be read a second time. Mr. BRISCOE rose, but the cries of " Spoke, spoke," resounding from all parts of the House, the Hon, Member refrained from addressing it. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. CONOLLY presented a petition from the county of Westmeath, praying for the discontinuance of the grant to Maynooth College, and deprecating the mutilation of the Bible. Colonel ROCHFORT supported the prayer of the petition. - Mr. O'CONNELL did not believe that Government could have acted with more discretion and sound judgment than by making the plan of education common as they had done in Ireland. There had been no mutilation of the Scriptures ; and if there existed against the plan any con scientious Protestant scruple, he was ready to treat it with that respect which was due to it. If, however, through party feeling, or otherwise, a determination was come to for the purpose of thwarting the experiment that was now making, that opposition might be successful, and the children would be separated, but the most alarm ing evils would undoubtedly be the result. The great evil of the Kildare-street Society was, that it gave the Protestant landlord an excuse for forcing the consciences of his Catholic tenantry. Mr. SHAW would make no distinction between Ca tholics and Protestants upon political grounds, but a great and most important difference was to be observed as re spected religion ; and he therefore rnost decidedly objected upon that principle to the plan which had been promul gated by Ministers in reference to education. There was no real, genuine, ❑npolitical Protestant of Ireland that had not determined to resist it. The Bible was the only basis and standard of education; and by the new system it was mutilated, if not completely shut out from the schools. CHOLERA. Mr. CROKER wished to ask a question of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, on the cholera. Reports had com e to his ear, that that destructive and alarm ing scou rge h ad at length reached the metropolis. He was sati s fi e d that the only means of preserving public tranquillit y was by having no mystery on the subject. For the purpose of giving the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite an ?pportunity of making a satisfactory statement on the subject, he wished now to ask this question. Mr. POULETT THOMSON said that intimation had been undoubtedly rec,iv( (I of ten cases of a highly suspi c i ous nature, and that by medical in vestigation th ese suspicions bad been confirmed. It was deemed pr u d ent and necessary to give the e irliest and latest inform at i on on the subject through the medium of the public received at t h e Board of Health upon the subject had Prints ; and b e b e li eve d th e w h o l e i n f ormat i on been introduced in this evening's newspapers. He would take thi s opportunity of stating that every precaution had been used by the appointment of district inspectors, and the nominatio n of physicians, to communicate with the Board of Health, and with the different parish authorities, for the purpose of preventing as much as possible the progress of the disease. Mr , CHOKER took the liberty of suggesting the great which were indistinctly heard in the gallery, in reference, we believe, to the proposed alteration of the financial year, Lord ALTHORP said, the House was well aware that, by the course of proceeding hitherto adopted as to the estimates of the year, that these estimates were frequently introduced after a portion of the expenditur e had been actually incurred; thus paying away public money pro vious to the grant of Parliament. This, he need not so;', was an anomalous mode of proceeding......(Hear.) ;With a view, therefore, of correcting this irregularity, and in order to accord with the privileges of Parliament, his 11a. jesty's Ministers had proposed that the estimates of the year should be produced before they were acted upon.- 7 . (Hear.) This could only be done by producing the esti mates early, and altering in the way proposed the period of the financial year. In the present year there might be some difficuly to encounter in carrying the plan into effect, which would not occur in future years. The period fir the commencement of the financial year was fixed for the Ist of April. It might be said that in selecting so early a period the financial plans might not be fully matured. Possibly this might, in certain circumstances, be the case ; but he thought it much better to fix that period than adopt a later—for instance, the Ist of July, the next quarter. He was persuaded that if, instead of April, July were adopted, great practical inconvenience would follow. After a few remarks from Mr. C. PELHAM, the nature of which we did not distinctly hear. Sir ROBERT PEEL said if the Noble Lord could, without inconvenience, make such an arrangement as he had explained, no objection from him should be offered.___. (Hear, hear.) There were, he thought, many points connected with the question which could not conveniently be discussed on the present occasion. With regard to the period now fixed, the Ist of April, unless Parliament met earlier than it had ordinarily done of late years, he was inclined to think there would not be time to consider the estimate;. He was afraid it would frequently happen that subjects of greater interest and greater importance than the estimates, important as that topic must naturally be, would occur, and thus prevent consideration being given to the estimates by the time now selected. He trusted that, as the Noble Lord h a d l a id d own the rule, he would not set the example of a deviation from it the very first year it was introduced.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The House would bear in mind, it was not the consideration of the quarter's but the whole year's estimates which they were called upon to consider—not only the navy but the army, and miscellaneous estimates, and all this at so early a period of the year as that named by the Noble Lord. But it was not his intention, as lie :had intimated, to oppose the ar rangement. r Sir JAMES GRA HAM said that there were difficulties, as respected carrying the plan into complete effect during the present year, which would not be experienced on fu ture occasion ,, . He thought that much benefit would be felt from adopting the present plan. The Hon. Member for Waterford had on a former evening alluded to the re solution of the House respecting the production of the esti mates by a stated period. He (Sir James Graham) thought that the resolution was one which ought to be strictly ob served. He had not been able to frame the navy estimates so early—and he had fifteen months' estimates to frame. There were no heads of expenditure, he was happy to say, but which the country would be able to meet—(Hear) — and lie was also happy to say that considerable diminution in the expenditure had been estimated.—(Hear.) He trusted, when he stated the grounds upon which he should have to propose the estimates, that the Committee would be satisfied with them. Sir HENRY PARNELL had always been an advocate for the estimates being laid as early as possible before Par liament; for it was a great absurdity that Parliament should be called on to vote sums of money which had been already expended. With respect to the period of time now proposed as the beginning of the financial year being the best or not, lie would not now atop to inquire; but he was inclined to think it would answer the objet. He thought, if Parliament met the second week in January, sufficient time would be afforded to get through the esti mates by the time pointed out. Mr. GOULBURN concurred with the Noble Lord opposite, that it was highly essential that the House should have a controul over the expenditure. But there were other duties devolved upon the House of Commons than that of controlling the expenditure, of a higher considera tion.—(Hear.) The redress of the grievances of the people—(Hear)_preceded the grants of money—(Hear, hear)—but if the House were to be occupied a long time after it met in discussing money matters, how would the grievances of the people be attended to ? As he had already intimated, he would not oppose the plan, con sidering it a mere experiment ; although he thought it would have been better that a Committee should have sat on the subject. Mr. R. GORDON rejoiced at the change of the sys tem.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that it would prove highly salutary. Ministers, by proposing the plan, were only carrying into effect their own principles when they sat o❑ the other side of the House. He also rejoiced to hear from the late Chancellor of the Exchequer that he was now alive to the grievances of the people--(Hear, hear)—and that one of the first duties of the House of Commons was to attend to them.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. HUME thought it would have been Netter to have selected the Ist of July instead of the Ist of April. Mr. HERRIES saw no reason for departing from the• practice which had prevailed for one hundred years, but as it was an experiment he would not oppose it. Lord ALTHORP said that Government had laid down this rule, and that it was their intention to abide by it.— (Hear.) He would allow it might happen that special grounds might exist which would rend, r it necessary to depart from that rule, but then this would be its exception. He coasidered the alteration an advisable one to make. Sir HENRY HARDINGE was of opinion that the period selected, the first of April, by Ministers was rather an ominous one.—(A laugh.) Lord ALTHORP should not advance the period of pass ing the Mutiny Act. Sir ROBERT PEEL said this was a point of consider ation, with the others which he had named, which would have been better disposed of before a Committee. Sir B. MARTIN considered that there would be great difficulties experienced in the navy contracts for victualling, which would be felt by the arrangement. Sir JAMES GRAHAM believed the difficulties would not prove insuperable. There was always a stock of pro visions on hand, should the contracts be retarded until the plan was in full operation. Mr. CROKER said the contracts for victualling the navy were entered into in October and November; now how could these be arranted by the new mode? Sir J. GRAHAM considered the objection of the Right Hon. Gentleman not very formidable. By the regulations of the British navy there was always one year's consump tion in hand upon an average of that of the three years preceding.—(Hear.) SUPPLY.—NAVY ESTIMATES. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates. Sir J. GRAHAM said that in making his statement, it would not be necessary for him to occupy much time, or enter into any details. In the early part of last spring, in consequence of the dissolution, it had been necessary to vote the supplies early in the month of June. The esti mates, had been twice canvassed, and in all respects on the present occasion, it would be a mere quarter estimate of the entire sum for the year. He had formerly mentioned that by the balance he found in the Exchequer at the end of 1830, he had been able to carry on the naval service to the 31st March, 1831. The object we had in view was to effect the very purpose lately so much under discussion, the alteration of the financial year, by advancing it from the Ist of January to the Ist of April. He had found in 1830 a balance of about 1,300,0001. in the Exchequer, and this year there was about 80,0001. more. The only observation he had to offer on the subject of the estimate was, that in consequence of this large sum being applicable to he service of the country generally, he thoui,;ht,it right to follow the precedent set by Lord Bexley (then Mr. Vansittart) in 1816, after the short war which succeeded the escape of Bonaparte front Elba—Lord Bexley found a surplus, as he at first supposed, of about three millions, and adhering to the very terms of the Appropriation Act, Lord Bexley came down to the House, and in opening his financial view of the year 1816, stated, that the surplus of supply was to be considered as ways and means not applicable to the particular service for which it was voted, but to the general service of the country. The surplus Lord Bexley had mentioned as about three millions, turned nut to be nearly five millions. He (Sir J. Graham) had thought it better, therefore, to adhere to the strict rule of precedent, and considering the balance of 1,300,0001. as applicable generally to the service of the country, he now came down with a three months' estimate for the Naval Department. He was not aware that it would be requisite for him to enter into any detail of the particular votes which consisted te of the ordinary items : the balance arising from the vote of last year more than covered the proposed expenditure which last year amounted to 110,0 /. with . exceeded the entireun der The sun) expended allowance of 69,0001. for old stores. 100,0001• beyond that vote. under this head was about 100,00 quarter, The heads — Tl first, ottehaotffolarsttir(,),y(Fr:wa.(si onlyma terials,an under the bead under a private account, repayment 1 materials, and falling ot timber and n ß i y ng t , he it balance e - d sheet at laid a t t i i d e reu upon a th surplus tabl e rplu s of t h4i67,4rn9°3r/n.:
