LZir'd KING preseuted a Petition from the Inhabitants of
the town of Reading, in favour of the Cruelty to Animals
Poosionsent Bill. The Noble Lord also presented a Petition
from the Inhabitants of the town of Lewes, in the county of
Sussex; and one front Poole, in the county of Dorset, preying
for a revision of the Criminal Lasr.—Read, sod laid on the
table.

The Sheerness Lands Bill, and the Dahlia Foundling Hos-
pital Bill, were read the third time, passed, and sent to the
Honer of Cuseemous.

The Cosiroii:l;tedFend Bill, the Coasting Trade Bill, sad
the British Spirits Duties Bill, went through a Consneitite,
and were reported without any amendment.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to be informed when
it was the intention of the Roble Earl opposite (Liverpool)
to move the second reading of the Htitd►asdry Homes Duties
Repeal Bill.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said it was his interdicts to
move the second reading on Wednesday neat.
RETRENCHMENT OF THE PUBLIC
EXPENDITURE.
The Earl of DAIIINLBY having moved the Order
of the Day for his motion on this subject, said,
that on sit (accenting it was necessary for him to ask
for the indulgence of their Lordships when he ad-
dressed them, and he kit that he required that
indulgence tamest the present than at any previous

time, as they were neatly at the clime of • &aim in
which they had only distinguished themselves by •
neglect of public affairs. There appeared no In-
clination on the part of their Lordships to eater
into the subject of stabile expenditure. The other
House of Parliament had been night after Brighten-
gaged in it, from which if no other advantage hod
been obtained, it went to open the eyes et every
man that retrenchment was necessary in every de-
partment. In making his present motion be did
not think that he would gain inquiry, on account
oldie close of the Session being so near, which
was hesitated by the Coronation; he would net,
therefore, occupy so much of their Lordships' at.
Motion as be otherwise would, for it must appear
to every moo no inquiry could be gaited when
the Bills brought up from the other Home were
passed with such rapidity, without it7tlrrito
tinter tiaAea, Herder 4e mach defies
ing iseeterd his motion in the absence of a Noble 1
Marquis (Lsasdowo), who would have been in his
place if the question had not been postponed
at the request of the Noble Earl (Liverpool).
But with these disadvantages, he had the ad-
vantage s.f the resolution of the other House
of Parliament. that some economy was neces-
sary in the public expenditure. His object in
bringing forward the present motion was, to
impress on their Lordships, that, notwithstand-
ing the reports which had been made of the pros-
perity of the country, the reverse was the fact.
It woe true that the isolated branch of the silk trade
was flourishing, but this was the ouly one. He
cautioned them from having their attention drawn
off from the real state of the country by the state-
ment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that
Government required no further advances. This
might be all true; at the same time, the main.
spring of the resources of the country might be en-
dangered, which would afterwards call for strong
measures to remedy, which might now be remedied
by inquiry. if it took place in proper time; fur
which reason he would recommend o remonstrance
to the Thione for retrenchment in every deportment
of the State. The Noble Earl then took • review
of the state of the agricultural interest of the coun-
try, and after the subject had been fully investi-
gated by a Committee of the other House of Par-
liament, they had come to the decision that they
could not recommend any thing to keep off the
pressuie, although they admitted the agriculturists
were oppressed. He would ask, was it for Huu.
Gentlemen who had drawn up that Report to sup-
pose that persons could go on from year to year to
support sgricultute out of capital ? He did not
think that the reduction in the duties on husban-
dry horses would afford any remedy, as it would not
be more than a relief of 4 per cent. It was the direct
taxes that pressed on the iandholder. Oa his vattle,
his leather, and manual labour, which he was oblig-
ed to pay for either in wages or poor rates; it there-
fore appeared to him that it was necessary to adopt
some strong measure of relief, at the fame time lie
wiebed, if possible, that good faith should be kept '
with the public creditor. He would be only intrud-
ing on their Lordships if he was to eater into detail
into the expenditure of the army and navy, but if
their Lordships went seriously to work he was con-
vinced much reduction might be made. The
navy of the country was its great strength. and if
he did not consider its present establishment greater
than what was required, he would be the last man
to ask for its reduction ; and he was willing to
admit that on looking over the papers which had
been laid on their Lordships' table, that reit ex-
eztiona had been made by his Majesty's Govern.
meat to reduce its expenses. He could not, how-
ever, when he saw the great magnitude of the
navy, consider that in time of peace it ought to
be kept up. when lie found 73 sail of the hue and
67 frigates, besides several vessels of both classes
building, particularly as our present force exceed-
ed that of all the other nations in the world. which
even in the event of war would make such a force
unnecessary ; sod there was another circumstance
Err the consideration of their Lordships, the diffi-
culty of manning the navy. lie had heard it re.
ported that it was intended to give up Deptford
navy-yard ; he trusted it was the intention, as it
would be a saving of 143.139/. per annum to the
country. He considered that a large annual reduc-
tion might he made iii the dock-yards generally,
to the amount of half • million, particularly
as it related to contracts for stores and limber.
A great tuitional work was carrying on at Sheerness,
called the basin. if it were more prosperous times
he would not object to it, but he could nut agree
that a slim of 208,000/. should he expended on it
this year; he would therefore propose that the
sum of 40,000/. should be deducted, which would
leave the sum to be expended 168,000/. In re-
gaid to the army, it was not a subject of which it
could be considered that he understood much.
He was, however, of opinion, that much retrench-
ment might be made iii the department of the
Horse Guards, which amounted to 315,0001. He
did not see the necessity fur this increase of house-
hold troops, sod considered that a reduction of
one-fourth might he obtained. He would also
propose a sunder reduction in the cavalry and
iii the yeomanry cavalry. The latter ware a
most useful class of men, but their duties
were suspended. As to the Infantry, he would
propose a reduction of one-tenth, which would make
a saving of 200,000/. to the country. If lie were
to admit that barrack, were necessary ut all, he
would not agree that they should be kept up to
the extent they were, at the enormous expense of
260,000/.; he would therefore propose, that they
should be reduced to 100,0001. As to the de.
partnseut of the commissariat, be thought it might
he reduced at least one-fifth. He contended, if
these diminutions in the expenditure were adopt-
ed, it would be a saving to the country of 700,0001.
a year. As to the ordnance department. he ate.
seated it was on a mote extended scale iu time of
peace than any other branch attached to the army,
but he also knew that an engineer could not be per.
fected in his profession in *day or a year, for which

"That an humble Address be presented to bit Majesty,
preying that be will he graciously pleased to take lino his
immediate and moat @trios, consideration the dillirolties
and distresses of his faithful subject., and especially of that
very important description of them whose wealth and son,.

his Majesty will be graciously pleased to give such direc-
tions, as to his Majesty in bis wisdom shall seem moat ex-
pedient, to diminish the pablie expeuditure in all the great
departments of the State, both Civil sad Military, as the
only effectual =tensor permanently relieving those ditlfrol_
ties and distresses, whirls, if not principally oecasioned,
are at least materially aggravated by Ike premise of ac-
cumulated taxation."
Lord LIVERPOOL said it was not by any means
his intention to follow the Noble Lord in the ex-
tensive details which he had laid before the House,
each of which would, in his opinion, require one
entire night of their Lordships' time to consider.
He should, however, address himself to a few of the
poi iits. and he trusted he should come to a conclusion,
satisfactory if not to the whole, at lethal to • great
majority of the House. The Noble Lord had ad-
verted to the distresses of the sgricultorists, and
no man felt more strongly than he (Lord Liverpool)
for these distresses. If any thing were wanting to
confirm him in this opinion, it would be found in
the Report of the Agricultural Committee; bet
when he said this he by no means considered
that a legislative enactment could provides remedy.
He should even go one step further and say, that',
in his opinion, inquiries of this nature not only did
no good, but generally produced some positive evil.
It could not be denied that the agricultural inter.
eats, from a variety of circumstances, laboured at
this moment under considerable depression; but
lie should recommend those Noble Lords who
traced the causes of this distress to the cues-
sive taxation, to look to other countries. He
should direct their attention to Russia, Poland.
and Germany, and also to America. These were
facts which cane within the purview of every man's
observation, and upon inquiry it wowld be found
that the distresses that there prevailed were as great
iu proportion as here. He would not now stop to
inquire into the various causes which had led to this
state of things, but in general terms he should say
it principally arose from that artificial system which
had grown up, not only iu this country. but lw
every country in Europe, in coaraequenee of is
twenty-five years' war. a war which could out
be compared with any other %Rhin the memory of
man. The Noble Lord had dwelt a good deal upon
tb• distresses of the manufacturing districts; but
