It was. to pre vent meritorious Officers from being put in prison, or being forced to quit the service from the absolute inability of existiug upon their pay. ,If there was po complaint on account of • the Cavalry and the Guard,-where was the ground for complaintin the case of the Militia?' General 'J'IItLETON knew, ,from.his own ob servation, the Militia were brought to a very high' 6tate'Of discipline, and this was owing-to the Offi cers. They were fit ,to combat with any regular troops against any enemy whatever ; and when there was so much merit on the part of the Officers, it was bard to make this invidious distinetion. After a few observation's from Cal. Woon the Bill Was ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. ~Sir C. POLE, pursuant to - notice, moved for.leave • to bring in- a Bill to extend the. advantages of the •35 t h of the King. to. the Petty Officers, Seamen and ..:%farines.in the Navy, by enabling them to allot part (?}- wages to the support of.thei,r wives and-farpi giVen.--The Bill' was then breaght up, rL-ad a:first, and ordered to be read - a second Lime to- mori•ow.

House went into a Committee on the Bill for -Regu-, la:ing the Rank of 'Yeozn'anry and Volunteer Offi cers, Mr..liAwaspoaNn the'Cbair. , • Mr.. Ahlertnan ChmatempVed, as an amendment to , the enading. Clause, that the "words have been" be left out, and the words e ‘ shall hereafter lie,' inserted in their stead, with a view to confine .. the operation. of the pleasure'. to such Volunteer Of ficers whose Serviees Shall , here,after be accepted. .31r. EILk Y ADDING7'O.W i'as hirnself a Field Oencer.of: Volunteers; and' felt no objection; to the measure of.' his Right Hon. Friend.. ,He knew no Oilicer•of- Volunteers-who had ally 'to it, and ,for him elf, be was glad to have responsi , bility taken off him. • , , • • Mr. STITRGES BOURNE agreed - with -the s lia : - 'nfiurahle Alderman,- that. it was not right to take away the rank from Volunteer Officers which they at present enjoyed. It was. quite a different thing', not to give - the rank in the first instance, and to take itaway after it had been given. The rank of Vo initteer Otlicerslad been carried much farther last war, when many full Colonels Were appointed.. '?'bough Volunteer Colonels may not have seen ser vice in the Army, their Majors bad,.and the conse quence of this measure would be, thatthese Colonels would be, commanded by their" Majors "when they came to a6tual service. Lord TEMPLE observed, that the Brevet rank in the army was an analogous case. ,Mr. PERCBOIL contended, that the Bill, if the - breviat corre&ly stated the matter of, it, would give far larger powers than the Right Hon. Gentleman professed to call 'for. 'lt 'would completely do away all the provisions which placed the Militia Officers and Men on the same footing as the Regular Ariny.. general 7'ARLETO.N was of opinion . thdt the Volunteer Officers may hold their rank-i,vithOut . any mischief arising from it. An intelligent General -" would command a mixed force Of ]Regulars, ..and Volunteers, without any confusion.. If the ,Vo- , louteers had been out on permanent duty this spring • and summer, they would now be aneffe6live force, that would Fender the Country secure from any at • tack. .They contained the real physiCal forge of the nation, of strong'constitutions, soUnd frames; full,of spirit, and .of the true Military age ; they wanted' only alittle experience, which they might have had by .the permanent duty. He should have. nq hesi tation to face _any Enemy with a• force equally corn-• posed of Regulars, Militia, and Volunteers, and he should not be apprehensive of any confusion or - weakness of-the line in consequence of the Volun teers. The only thing he would fear was their im ‘ patience .to meet the Enemy. Haw' was that to be correeled ? By discipline. How was discipline to be gained ? By permanent dilty. : If justice had been done to the Volunteers, they would be fully compe- • zeLit to a6t on any service with the Regulars. Sir CHARLES PRICE obje&ed to the measure . - 'as iniurions to the Volunteers, and, cOincided, with the sentiments of his Hen,Colleague (Alderman ' Combe).. He had felt very acutely in the'different instances, during the present Session, when the Vo lipateers had been treated lightry. The., last insult that. had, been given to them was in the assertion, that they Were a refuge for the rich. He had hoped when he heard of this measure, that some complies , I - pent:was intended it length to be paid to the Vo lunte'ers. He , could not consent to a measure that went to deprive them of that rank which they pos sessed: oft . the faith .of farlianient, and of their L? ) DE BLAQ MERE was of opinion, that i'y'giedt mischief would result in case the Volun ;e(.l-s and l,kgulats,-should be called out tngkher, on al`tual 3etvice, tailless the princi; le of thc Right Ron. SeciTtay's measure should be adopted.. No success to bee ppta.ed if large bodies of men WfriC to bi ; :, ; inthanded by men who !fad never seemservice.: 111 r.

Every Gentlet. rnnr; 1)1t th - e, rioa. Aldermat);, who spoke last; ad mitted, that.it was not de,'.itabie - titatVoluntger Offi- Cer s siwid cothrnsnd.Field Officeriyf Line. His Hon.; rriid, xt=ho`,lLl.4 r;roposeeltlitt-Atnendment, al lowed the rank oughtnot to have atfiragiven to the Volunteer, Officers. Jt was obvious, that what vas not right to be given in the first instance ought not. to be continued. He admitted .that the Volian-: teen Coloneh were excelleht Madistrates, intelligent Jnen, and, animated with zeal and patriotism ; but they were not,miiitary . Ws it then aninsult to say to them, ,that they- were not as :fit to com mand 'as men'who had devotedtheir lives, in eyery. sense • of the word, particularly 'to the Army as a' profession .? What degradation was to . arise from this?' A mail •who Was not thoroughly acquainted` with the sea would not be offended at being told . that he' was hot a:good seaman. The Hon. Mover of . the Amendment then .brought the' question fairly to is, sue. But it Was admitted on all hands, that Volun teer Officers ought not to haVe this rank, and this Bill was -only to remedy the evil. He should nosy notice what oh a former occasion he had not thought worth attention, the mirth that had been excited by an assertion of- fhe Learned "Gentleman (Mr. Perci. ,- val) respe'c'ting the rank he (Mr. yVinclhatn ) held as a-Volunteer Officer. That assertion was founded on a mis-statement. , He was a full Colonel nol.-as com manding his corps, but as commanding four .or five Corps. Where the humour was in the assertion he, could.notdiseover, it seemed ,to him 'of that vacant kind that excites the mirth of a set of barrel} audi tors. Mr. PEl?tl'P_4.L, if. he' had made a miS-state ment, bad taken,his information from "the Paper 4 on the table. The. Right Hon. Gentleman had there fore to blame one of hiss-colleagues for laying sueli statement before the' House. By the' Papers to which he alluded there appeared no Officer attached to 'his. Carps but the Colonel him:elf—no' —not even a con stable. The Right . Hon. Gentleman 'had afforded some . moye room 'for mirth in the present, than tke state ofhis Corps : had in the former instance.; for it appeared now that he knew so little of his Corps then, that he could not put down the mirth by giv . - ng - the explanation now given. On principle the Right Eon. Gentleman ought to extend his measure,-to 'the Militia as well,as . the Voltinteers:, If he did not intend that, he had taken the wrong cause. The ..proper and direct mode of attaining his obje& would ,be to bring in a short A& to take the Commissions from. the 'Volunteer Colonels, and . leave 'none of a .rank higher than, a CaPtain.. .The present measure would really 'make'the Volunteer Officers resemble the painted cherry, leaving them the name, but de priving them of the rank. , Mr. LONG said, that this measure was intended, to cause the Volunteer System to moulder that was the obje& in vicW,.it" was more honour able to dismiss them at once fairly and candidly. Gen. TARLETON stated, from his own expe, rience„an instance of a most re,Apettble Colonel 'of Volunteers, who commanded a - of bpoo men, and Who had moJestly fallen Out' of the. and given Way to,a Lientenani-Colouji of.itegulars. 'Wheat there was such a disposition to Voluiltary..,de-' 'fetence, a law of this kind was unnece§sary and in-• vidlous. Mr. 1111LL1.4.11.3 WYN.NE had not met an in, stance of a Volunteer Officer who was averse to be ing cointnan4ed by regular Officers,. The olkst . ,and 'most ri..speetable 'Voliinteer Odicer in kbelingdom, Colonel Herries, of the City Light kior.,e,, was desir ous.of being coMmanded by regular, Officers. it Was necessary still that- there should be Majors and Colonels of Volunteers, with a view to regimental rat)k. • , . Mr. RYDER wished for some further explanation with respect to what was intended towards the Vo lunteers, with a view to a i'Nlotiuu which` an Hon. Frjend of his was to make to-morrow. Mr. 1F1N.0.1L1 4 11 . did .not ,think it necessary to give any information to suit a'Notion, the author of which had declined giving anY.idea. of what it Was he. meant to,n3ove. After some further explanation between Mr. LONG and Mr. WINDHAM, tLe Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. • . • ,The amendrneAts on .the Corn. Intercourse .Bill were agreed, to, and the Bill was ordered to be read .a third time to-morrow. • Sir Jonrr SINcLAIR prbposed a clause on .the•re: port, for allowing the importation, of wheat, duty free, from the Isle of Man but . the SPEAKER de clared that such a clause was inadmissible in. a Bill for regulating 111 - e. intercourse of grain merely be tween Great Britain and Ireland. . The cruse was withdrawn, with a declaration on the, part of Sir jotiiiSINCLAXR ) that be would bring forward a pro vision Of the same nature in the next Session. Mr. HOZHOUSE. brought , up the Report of the Committee on the.
