An interesting debate is expected in the !Lute

A numerous and highly respectable Meeting an
held on Saturday at Freemason.' Hall, Great Queen-
street, at which the philanthropic Mr. Oivi,s
•eloped his plan fo► the amelioration of the loser

classes of society. A fell report of the procredit
is given in another part of our Paper.

The Irish Estimates were submitted to the enn.
►ide►stion of • Committee of the ssimi, Ilmi.c „nj
Friday night. Msny or the grants lisperire(l ex.(
trentely objectionable to different Nlenthera of the

Committee, ■ud the Estimate, were 'Meted to he

printed', fur the purpose or affording information in

Members, previous to further consideration of the
Report this day.
11'e anticipate a very interesting discussion on
this subject ; we nerd scarcely say, that, at a
moment like the present, when un additional
burden of three millions sterling is about to he laid

■pun the people, that not one shilling of the public
mouey should be granted but for the most litres-

wiry and useful purposes, and that every shilling
so granted should be fairly and properly applied.

I'iuw we cannot help suspecting that many rums
on the face of the hish Estimatcs, if granted, wi!l
not he granted for useful or necessary purposes,
and will not lie properly and economically applied.
We find a large grant ti the public money, we
believe so large a sum as 60,0001. for statinevy
and printing for the public offices. ' The enormous
sums that have been paid for stationery in Ireland

has been long a subject of general complaint. In.
deed we recollect that the opulent sod rtspectallie
proprietor of The Freesias's Jour,lot publicly ',gyr-
ed to supply the different offices with stationery of
the best sort for cnosiderahly less then one-half the
sum paid for these 'wicks by the Govermurnt.
The public are entitled to some explanation on this
head. This is not a time when the pulthc
money should he wasted on unworthy favourites.
A grant of 32,000/. was proposed for the support
of the House of Industry in Dublin—over ibis the
salaries of officers alone amoont to 3,0001. per annum;
thus reducing the grant of Parliament to 27,0001.
There are no less than five governors appointed with
salaries of 3001. • year. It was objected to three
appointments that they were unnecersary—thst
they created a wasteful and wanton expenditure
of the money granted for charitable uses, which
should be •Iwsys ttsed with the greatest economy.
Sir GEORGE litt.t, however, assured the House,
that these governors were very reapechible indivi-
dual., and appropriated all their time and attention
to the uses of the institution. An Hon. Member
replied, that there was no institution in llit empire,
however extensive, with so many governors, mid
that very few charitable institutions bad more than
one governor. Now it is not pretended that similar
institutions in this country are badly governed,
that any of their concerns are neglected, or their
interests in any wise injured in consequence of he.
big superintended by one governor instead of five.
Then if one governor in England does as moth
lea those live in Ireland, what reason can there by
for allowing them to feed ou the funds of this un-
fortunate institution? Has it not at least tilt. ap-
pearance of I job' Mr. Query has pi° iiiiii d to
inquire into the subject, but we submit he
' nothing to inquire intu—that these five govrrnoni
should be at all uecenary, is a supposition on tie
face of it absurd. We trust that the Committer
,;eeit reduce this 'mot.
Another grant of 11,0001. was proposed for
*Wilting Government Proclamations in certain Irish
newspapers. This sum was proposed by Alt.
'GRANT, we thought, with evident teluctance, and
the wily reason be gave woe, that it wets not a tiro
grant, but that similar grants had been ',surd fur
years before. To this we would avower, that if it
be an abuse the practice can be ivo moon for it,
