WHIG CLUB.

Yesterday a meeti.'g of the 11'hig Club wa•
at the Crown and Auchor, in the Sirsiiti. It was„
numerously attended, but had only few of its
Members in Parliament, in consequence of their
attendance there. After the usual toasts were gone
through, (Mr. Erskine, Jun. being in the Chair,)
Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Byng, and Mr. Martin, en-
tered the room. On Mr. BYNG returning thanks
for his health having been drunk, he avowed his
firm adherence to the principles which he had al-
ways professed ; and said, he was shocked at a para-
graph in some of the papera, stating, that his friend
Mr. Whitbread) in the chair, had been repre-
sented as a decoy-duck, to delude time friends of
liberty.
Mr. ViTHITUREAD said, that it was of little COMIC.
(pence to him what might be reported of him, so
lung as he was influenced by independent and ho-
nourable motives. He had ever been actuated by
principles of Reform. That question was soon to
be brought forward by a Gentleman (Mr. Brand)
who possessed the best head and heart, mud would
do it justice. It would have his support. He had
ever, too, been actuated by motives of economy,
1 and had to Warta that so much waste of public
treasure hail taken place. He hall too to la-
ment, that the conduct of the present Mi-
nisters had been such as justly to irritate the
feelings of the people, and to render it, with
some, problematical, whether the House of Coos-
, mons was advantageous to the nation. lie was a
friend too to the right of petitioning, and had to
regret that the petition for Middlesex had hem
refused ; and that he had seen that night inani•
tested a disposition to do the same with the one of
the city of Loudon. Ile hoped the people who
were refused would again and again petition, till
they were heard ; but he hoped, thongh their
petitions might be augrily refused, they would
not be irritated to lose eight of the "lan-
guage which they owed to that li case timid to them-
selves. Ile reprobated, however, the conduct
of decryiug all public men, and that of looking
for Government out of Parliament. He concluded
by proposing the health of Mr. Martin, who
apologized for saying little, in COWIN:U.IWe of his
being under the necessity of returning to the
House of Commons.

WAITHIIIAN, in consequence of his health
having been drunk, stated, that he hoped, because
he had derided home public inem,„it would not be
imputed to him that he meant to decry all public
men; that be, in common with the people, had
been disgusted with the conduct of Minister., and
when he found fault with them, he did oot wish to
inculcate a notion that he had no.respect for parlia-
ment itself.—The company broke up at an early
hour.

THEATRICAL ciWkf LYQU/RE

A Curious. and certainly not an uninteresting in-
vestigation, was held at the Plymouth Theatre, WI
Saturday se'onight. A few nights prior to the
above-mentioned date, a Midshipman. in the upper
boxes. being accused of throwing an apple upon
the stage. denied the charge. and, we believe, with
justice. tb allpoint being conceded to him : but, dur-
ing the altercation. his :satinet was so ottensive.and
his language so extremely indecorous, that the indig-
nation of the audience was completely mooed : his
name. however, was ascertained, and au application
for redress made to Admiral Young. who referred
the complainants to the young man's Captain,' as-
sail% them, that from him they might depend
n .on obtaining every necessary satisfaction.—
Briefly. the Captain baring heard the accusation,
together with the defence of the accused, te-
quested both parties to meet hind at the Theatrie
on the following Ssttrrday. At the appointed
time. several gentletne• of the highest respectabi-'
lity attended. and bore ample testimony to the itn-
propriet:.• of the young genthanaa'a conduct ; upon
which Capt. Walton protested. that unless he sin-
niediatvly gave every satisfaction demanded, and
also a solemn promise of future good behaviour.
he would instantly report his conduct to the
Admiral. who would transmit it is the Admiralty,
and his dismissal- from Ills Majesty's service would
inevitably follow. It is needless to add, that the
young gentleman regally complied with this injunc-
titiii. Cap% Walton then declared, in the true spirit
of a Naval Commander. that he would make every
officer who served under lain responsible for his
conduct in Afire as well as us booed; fur he could
not but consider it disgraceful to his Majesty's
service, that any one who wore a 133110 uniform.

harangue, in any respect interesting to an English
reoder:—

" A political meiviiire,.which drove back to our
enemy's ports every thing that their commerce and
industry tried to export to the Continent, occa-
sioned • considerable diminution in• the revenue
accruing from the clistouts, during the year 1008.
The expenditure for that year was also augmented
by the army being stationed within the French
territory, and by the preparations made for a new
war."

" The proceeds of the (instants were estimated,
in the budget for 1A0.9, at 12,000,000, that is to say,
at less than two-thirds of the sum to which they
were reduced in 180 w. This reduction cannot
occasion ally embarrassing deficit in our revenue
system ; whilst it implies an annual diminution of
more than four hundred and sixty million of francs
in the exportations of England ; so that the mea-
sure which diminishes the proceeds of our customs,
must prove fetal only to that Power which has ren-
dered its adoption necessary."
" Our contribution, remelt: stationary, whilst
England, already sinking under the enormous
weight of her public debt, is every year adding to
it by fresh loam"
" That debt is at present 28,769,000,000 r. and
the annual 'wriest 79ti,000,000, which must Le
defrayed by penna•etit taxes.
" In France the )feet item of the budget is
111,000,000, ais the intetest of the public debt of
the richest empire in the universe."
.4 Daring these three years (Iso7-6-9), if we
compare the budgets of the respective countries,
the expenditure of England will be found to
have surpassed that of France by the 6010 of
1,304,4c:1,000 f. It should be observed, that, uu-
dee the head of expenses, the budget of England
includes only those incurred for the army and
navy, with the subsidies granted to foreign
powers."
is To institute a just comparison between this
budgets of the two powers, we should 'obstruct
from that of France all that is not comprised in
that of England. But one may: without much
calculation, perceive the inequality of the struggle
between the two countries, and it is easy to foresee
the issue. In the one, the science of finance con-
sists only in throwing into the shade on immense
debt, and in finding ways and means to augment
the load of taxes borne by 15,000,000 of inhsbitants.
Her Government boasts of having perfected the
ruinous system of loans. Her treasury conceals
the amount of the revenue and their application;
but her Bank cannot any longer couceal its embar-
rassment, not haring for a length of time paid in
specie any of its notes but those of the lowest de-
nomination. In short, such is the situation of her
finances, that she is compelled, in order to perpi-
ware her taxes, to reject peitse ; and regards as a
calamity the greatest blessing that Providence can
bobs, upon mankind."

ease, " If a Member wag arrested before the 12
and 13 W. 111. the method in %Vestininster Hall
was to discharge him by writ of privilege, under the
Great Seal, which was in the nature at a superse-
deas to the proceeding. The statute of William
has now altered this, and there is no necessity
to plead the privilege of a Member of Parliament.
—All these Acts merely apply to proceedings
against Members in respe.:t of their debts and actions
as individuals, and not io respect of their conduct
as Members of Parliament; and therefore they do
not in any way abridge the pocient law and privi-
lege of Parliament, so far as they respect the free-
dom and conduct of Members of Parliament as
such, or the protection which the (louse may give
to persons acting under its authority.
4. Upon the whole, it appears to your Commit-
tee, that the bringing three actions egotist the
Speaker and the Seijeant, for acts done in obedi-
ence to the orders of this House, ib a breach of the
privileges of this (louse.
And it appears, that in the several instances of
actions commenced in 'preach of the Privileges of
this House, the House has proceeded by commit-
ment, not only against the party, but against the
Solicitor and other persons concerned in bringing
such actions; but your Committee think it right t..
obser►e, that the commitment of such party, So-
licitor, or other persons, would nut necessarily stop
the proceedings in such action.
That as the particular ground of action does not
necessarily appear upon the writ er upon the decla-
ration, the Court, before which ►uch action is
brought, cannot stay the sail, or give judgment
against the PI 'ff, till it is informed, by due
course of legal proceeding, that such action is
brought for a thing done by order of the Flouse.
And it therefore appears to your Committee,
That even though the House should think fit to
commit the Solicitor or oilier person concerned in
commencing these actions ; yet it will still be expe-
dient that the /louse slionla give leave to the Speak-
er, and the Serjeant, to appear to the actions, nod
to plead to the sense; far the purpose of bringing
under the knowledge of the Court, the authority
under which they acted : and if the House should
'agree with that opinion, your Committee submits
to the House, whether it would not he proper that
directions should be given by this House, for de-
fending the Speaker cud the Strjeent avinst the
