Mr. HUME observed, that the •retrenehments which
had been effected were chiefly regarding (let Imo( SOI. or
001. a year; that there was mute trouble taken to lop off
au expenditure of such frillier extent, than to examine
the great offices; and that real efficient economy must be
111111(1 inure extensive. Ile complained of the manner of
managing the Duck-yords, particulai ly of the advance of
the Master Ship builders' salaries lions et.ol. to 7001.
Sir B. MARTIN, in reply ill the expeiire of the ships.
observed, that the principle acted on erns to keep a large
Reel ready to go to sea at any moment ; mid the athierence
to this principle wag considered a. the most efficient mode
of protectio; our Colonies and C .rice.
Sir 1. COFFIN maintained that the business of the
Navy was ailininisteird in the most economical way.
Mr. TIERNEY did not augur
in Committees; however, as an Han. (timber (sir J.
Yorke) had made at) opposition siteeeli, it was to be hoped
he would give opposition vow,. (A laugh.)—He spoke of
the hardship of relatives of Officers in the Navy, and
mentioned the case of sisters of six o;:Scers who had died
in the country's service, mud had applied in vain. The
ease was so peculiar, that hr app.ied to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, who granted, at the recommendation of
the Duke of York and others, some allowance out of the
Civil List. But Ow hardship of the principle was still the
same; and it was hard that sisters 01 Officers in the Navy
could get ao provision. He thought there ought to be a
fund fur sisters who had relied wholly on their brothers;
for they were ist the situation of the daughters of Officers
who might die while in the country's service.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
circumstances of the kind just mentioned by the Right
Hon. Gentlemen might certainly occur. but he hoped and
believed that the bounty of the Crown would be extended
in such cases. The snivel and military establishments
• were on the same footing, and had each a compassionate
fund.
" Sir M. W. RIDLEY moved that a reduced sum should
be substituted. The original motion was agreed to.
The sum of 1,591,1811. was then moved for the building
and rebuilding, fec. of ships of war in his Majesty's Duck
Yards.
The several sums haviug been voted, the House re-
sumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on
Monday.
New LOAL—Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, the House went into a Committee
of Ways and Means. The Right Hon. Gent. then stated
tile knits of the New Loan. He assured the House that
those terms were most advantageons terms. The price of
Stocks this year exactly coincided with the price last
year, and the present Loan was one-half per Cettt. better,
so that the public would gain considerably. He thee
moved that the sum of 5,000,0001. should be raised by
a ins snit
After some observations from Mr. Grade% Mr. Ri-
cardo. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Hume, and
others, the Resolution was carried, and the House ad-
IPinned.

The Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Welling-
ton, among other illustrious visitors, were under the
gallery of the House of Commons, during the de-
hive on 11ednesday night. When his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex passed into the House,
there was a loud cheering from the crowd in the
lobby and passages, which was heard in the House
itself. The Serjeaut at Arms, Colonel Seymour,
came out of the House shortly after, and declared,
that it any cheering took place again, the lobby
would be cleared.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,
THURSDAY, JUNE 8.
TH6 RING R. WAITHMAN, P iltkINS, HUNT, AND 0111664
ELECTION OF THE LORD MAYOR.

Mr. Brougham rose in opposition to this rule. The
main question upon which their LordshMs would have
10 decide was, whether, upon the day appointed by
charter for the election of the Lord Alayor, it was, ur
was not, competent to toe Livery to enter upon the
consideration of other business. He contend. d that the
Livery hail a right to do so. He then proceeded to com-
pare the Livery of Loudon, assembled tor the election
of their Cold Magistrate, to a Grand Jury, whip, though
called together for the purpose of making preenoments,
and finding bills against individuals, did occasionally
employ theniselye. upon mailers of minor importance,
such as voting addresses of thanks or 01 condolence.—
In the same way, the Livery might, either berme or
after the business of election, advert to other ohjects.—
If they thought those objects likely to impede the prin-
cipal business, then they might defer them until that
business should be gone through; the arrangement was
in so ipso Ihe appointment of the Lord Mayor was
fixed by charter for a certain day, and it was the duty
'of every Liveryman to attend upon that day. The
Learned Counsel then quoted the opinion of Mr. Ser-
geant Glynn, as confiruuug his own positions, torah as
to the necessity of the presence of the Livery, and as
to the right of the Livery, when so assembled in Corn.
' min Hall, to enter into indifferent discussions.

Mr. Ju-stice Bayley wished to know whether the
Livery were to proceed to those discussions before the
election took place, or after it was over.
Mr. Brougham did not find that that point had been
decided. He then contended that the Livery might
assemble in Common Hall in despiteof the Lord Mayor.
and, of course, in his absence; and concluded by com-
menting upon the impropriety of granting a criminal
information, in a case where nothing like corrupt inten-
tion had been proved.
Mr. Chitty, Mr. Holt, and Mr. Scarlett, jun., fol-
lowed .on the same side.
The Solicitor General, in support of the rule, was dis-
claiming any vindictive feelings on the part of the pro-
secutors, whose object was merely to try the right, when
he was stopped by an intimation that their laordships
had agreed upon the subject.
The Lord Chief Justice said, that upon the point of
right the Court was agreed. To grant a criminal infor-
mation, however, was a different question. The cos..
tom, although erroneous and illegal, had certainly ex-
isted, not immemorially, because the first instance quoted
had been in the year 1769, but fur a very considerable
time. The defendants might therefore have been de-
ceived, and might very honestly have imagined that they
had that right, which it turned out they had net. (in-
less criminal intention, and a wilful desire to commit
outrage had been proved, the Court would not feel dis-
posed to make the rule absolute for the criminal infor-
mat ;oil.
'rite rule was discharged, but without costs, it appear-
' ing to their Lordships, that sufficient ground had ex-
isted to warrant the application.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY, Jaws S.

CIINVALIER RumNl ♦. Ss* H. WILSON.

This was an action brought by the plaintifi; an eminent
dentist in Pull Mall, to recover a demand for professional
services, medicals furnished, and money paid for the defier.
dant. It appeared that the plaintiff being upon terms of
friendship with Sir Henry Wilson, undertook to promote
his interest, with a view to procure his election and relent
to Parliament. The Chevalier accordingly exerted himself
with great Zeal to get Sir. Henry in for the Boroughs of
Gloucester, St. Alban's, Barnstaple, filedrin, and other
places. The whole of the plaintiff's demand amounted to
upwards of 1001.
The defence was, that Ruspiiii had taken upon him Ike
practice of a Borough-monger, who had pretended to interest
iu the different boroughs which lie did not possess.
A Captain Clark, on the part of the defendant, proved
that Huspini said he had no demand on the pad of Sir
Henry Wilson fur his services. He promoted the Bitronteti
interest from pine friendship. The voter's were received at
Ruspini's house in Pall Mull, and furnished with refreshment.
Ruspini always warmly espoused the interest of Sir Henry
Wilson, and on one occasinn declured Sir Henry should be
returned for Barnstaple. The plaintiff always at ted with
zeal and energy to promote the election of Sir Herry Wilson.
A letter was put in and read on the pint of the drtendurit.—.
It contained an application for a luau, and had no bearing
on the cause.

The Chief Justice of the Common Plras, in his charge to
the Jury, said, " if a gentlrimin in the situation of Sir
Henry Wilson consents to employ a dentist to act as as
agent in procuring his election, it ill brcomrs him to say the
agent is a boruughmunger, and shall nut be 'enumerated far
Ms tumble."_
