Mr. CREEVEY objected to certain charges in the
Estimates, on account of the lonian !shoots, which,
he contended, ought to be mule good not of their

for the reparation of fortifications in the island
of Barliadoeo. It had been asked. was there any
rote who could furnish an argument for taking these
item away ? Now he could. There was an Act
pissed by the Colonial Legislature of that island,
providing that the expense of these and Similar

But instead of repairing the fortifications with

to Parliament, that they might in future be applied

Charles Long, and the rest of the gentlemen and

some experience in this !louse on these subjects,
far when in the year 1812 he had made striation
eleative to the two great overgrown Tellerships of
Ira Exchequer, it was almost hooted out of the
liouse on all sides. Nevertheless, one of the Iwo
Noble Lords in possession of these places some tithe
ol.tor wrote a letter describing the greet distress of
ro:iid he suffered in taking so much of the public
money in that way, said stating that he would cou-
eider it it particular favour if lie were allowed to
fengn the situation. When the Report of the
Committee should be brought up, he should move
thst the item relating to the repairs of the for-
otcations of the Leeward Islands should be left
out. Mr. Creevey then argued that there was a
sioiation of the Act of the 50th of the late King,
It: the mode in which one of the items under the
Lead of superannuation allowances had been in.
troduced.

Mr. 1V•111) certainly did not man to go into •
discussion on the great question of the tour-and-a-
ha per cent. duties, and their proper application;
it was a question Cu which great difference of opi-
nion existed ; but it had recently been debited in
both Houses of Parliament, and the majorities had
declared themselves of that opinion which was now
acted on by the Government. But in steering
clear of discussion he said distinctly that the llou.
Gentleman (Mr. (7reevey) had proceeded on es
parte statements, in coming to the conclusion he
lid come to. His opinion was merely founded ou cer-
tain words which be had found in an Act of Psrlia-
Ineut
; but lie could assure him that there were many
other very material particulars to be taken into con-
cdersiion in deciding the question, and he (Mr.
Ward) had beard the present practice defended in
• very able mariner by (as we urrlnstood) Lord
Grenville. Hever& therefore,sgain, that the Gen-
tleman's statement on the subject was an incorrect
•inl garbled one. lie should say no More on the
siihj-xt of the Leeward islands. The item object-
ed is would be open when the resolutions came to
br. reported. With respect to the alleged violation
of the Act 50 Gen. M. the accounts were now
stated as they hat) always been since it was Mused,
sod he saw. in them nothing contrary to its provi-
sions. lie was at • loss to find where the Act said,
that the names of all who ►eceived superannuation
ullowsrices should be mentioned in the estimates;
the salaries we►e stated, and the class to which they
lorlunged, and that he believed satisfied the direc-
tions of the Act.

The CHANCELLOR of the Exceitiamt observed,
that the Hon. Gentleman had excited his am:with-
Went and 'Orin*, and 11.1 or li.in%elf very little cre-
dit by the manner m 1,1 had treated one of

have been in consequence of whit had been said by
the Hon. Gentleman in 181.2 ; and what wms soid
on that occasion would, on minds so constituted,
rather have the effect of checking the gene/nos dis-
position afterwards manifested ; and undoubtedly
it sheared much the more strougly the meznaninsity
of the Noble Marquis iir overcoming the feelings of
resentment snit opposition which it was calculated
to inspire.—(Hear, hear.)—With resitect to the
41 per cent. duties. a Parliament of Willimo lIL
had hound itself to apply them to the Civil List,
or! for • very long period that fund hail been
considered as a part of the revenues of the
Crown. At all events. there could be no con+
flict of claims between the islands and the indivi-
duals, to whom the pensions had been granted on
the fund. For more than a century it hail been
known to be the fund out of which rewards had
been granted by the Crown to individuals who had
just claims on the gratitude of the country. There-
fore. if Parliament should turn this revenue into
another channel, it would be necessary to satisfy
the rights of these individuals from some other source.
Mr. Hume replied to the statement of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, respecting the fotor-aud-a-
half per cent. duties. and affirmed, that its docurneuts
laid before the House iu 1786 an* 179,1, they had
been described as forming part of the public re-
venue from the year 1715.
Mr. BenNETT said, that the first notice which
he had ever been able to find of the funds in ques-
tion. was in a note in oiled the old volumes of the
Parliamentary History, copied, he believed, from a
manuscript of Mr. Montague, in which it was said
that the four-arid-a-half per cent. duties should be
applied to the public service. From Charles IL to
the reign of King William they were so applied.
There certainly were two instances of ancient date,
in one of which they had been applied iu aid of the
Civil Liit, and in the other paid into the Exche...
quer. But these proceediogs were all nullified by
what had been done in the reign of Queen Anne,
when it was solemnly acknowledged by the Execu.
live that their proper destination was the reparation
of the fortiacations of the islands' from which they
were raised. The late Duke of Gloucester had a
considerable revenue charged on these fund..
At one period they became deficient, so that the
pension could net be made good out of them.
A message to that effect was Cent to Parliament.
end by Its authority five thousand pounds, the
stun deficient, was transferred to the Civil List and
paid therefrom. In succeeding years the proceeds
of these dories greatly increased, but was the charge
be had mentioned brought back to them ? No, it
was kept on the Civil List. and the Duke of Glou-
cester was saddled on the public. If ever there
was a time when it was right to bring forward the
discussion of this question, and when Parliament
was called upon to approprirte the revenue of these
duties to the imposer for which they had been ori-
ginally granted, die present was that time. fir re-
collected that when his Hon. Friend had brought the
question of the Tellership of the Exchequer before
the House, the statement of the enormous incomes
Attached to these offices had excited universal ths-
gnat throughout the country.
Lord CASTl.Eltelael did think, and he wee lure
'the feelings of the House and the country would go
with him, that the mode in which the two Hon.
Members had expressed themselves, in relation to
the feel of the Tellerships of the Exchequer, was
neither fair, candid, liberal, nor just. It would
have been but justice to sac. that this fund had
lapsed into the hands of the Noble Marquis (who
had exhibited such unexampled disinterestedness
and public spirit in sacrifiting his rights to the ne-
cessities of his country), from a father on whom the
office had been conferred as au inadequate reward
for eminent and distinguished public services. For
whim lie had retired from an elevated situation in the
profession, which his talents and learning had long
adorned, that office had been conferred on him as
a small compensation for his service'', and to make
a provision for his fainiry.—filear.l—lle could
not conceive any thing snore limit& to the exercise
of exalted public principle, than to gee two Him.
Members indulging in the feelings displayed that
night ; one taking to himself the merit of having
contpel led a renunciation of income which was purely
voletitary, and an almost unparalleled iisstonice
et patriotism ; the other (as we understood the No-
ble Lord) making it matter of taunt mud ileCll,ll
tioll that the Noble Lords had not refunded all the
profits they had ever derived from the offices.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCnerse sit la prated
a part of his former statement respelling the sacri-
fices made by the two Noble Tellers of the Re-
chequer.
Lord MILTON observed there was one circa*.
stance respecting the office held by the Noble Mar-
quis, to which no allusion had been made either
that night or previously. It was well known theca
judicial office had been held by his father, which
usually enabled its holder to amass a large fortune.
That office he had resigned. and it should always
be remembered what the cause of the resignation
was. It took place becanse he believed it necessary
to the defence of the rights and liberties of Lis C 01111.•
try—l Hear, Ilearj—believing that to wife a cons-
promise of his principles, he was obliged to separate
himself from the Administration then in power.—
It was upon the question of the Middlesex Election,
that, differing in opinion from his colleagues, he
thought he could ho longer retain the Chancellor-
ship.—/Hear, hear.)—The recollection of this
should secure for his descendant the respect and
venetatiou of his country.—///ear, Itear.l—After
some further conversation, the resolution proposed,
and the remaining ones, were carried.

.18111' ESTIMATES.
Lord PA LMERSTO N then rose to resume the sub-
ject of the Army I...tini.iter, and commenced by
describing the charge of the War-Office in the pre-
sent year, compared with the sear 1814, the last of
the war. In thar year the charge of the current
purl of the %Var-Office was something above fifty.
six thousand pounds; the charge bn the same
account for the year 1830, was about 36,8001.
of the remaining sum, 9,33 M. was altogether
wed and discontinued, and ten thousand pounds
was transferred to the department of the wear
business, of *lnch there had been s great accuMu-
letian *bee be entered in office. From that time,
the year 1811, till the present, the *hole of the

accounts in the office arnout.led IA 1,30. or which
Only thirty-six remained unsettledow-(//ear.)---
The effect of the addition mode to the arrear de-
partment more than repaid annually the whole ex-
pense of the War Office. Under the 6" of hos-
pital expenses there was en increase this year. corm.
pare(' with the last, of 9,766/. of which Goon/. was
required for medicines; the remainiog 3,766/. for
various incidental expenses. Uader the latter head
the ophthalmic 'unpile' was incluiled.the charge for
which was 2,100/. There were 100 patients treated
in it, and the whole expense of etch emistrally was
but et/. With regard to the effects of that establish-
merit, he should only say, that experieneeted fully
roadirmed the opinion he hail before expressed on the
subject, and that it had been attended with every
benefit expected from it. The totilintoinst Of the
toluisteer corps in England for the not year was
twenty-five thoitaind infinity andt4bur Owosso('
cavalry. The whole force in Irefatid was infantry,
mid amottnted at preteitt tombola twenty !hominid.
In the Military Collett. there was • diminution of
charge of about 3,04101. The ieuior department
et Farnham was shortly to be removed to Sandhurst,
which would cause a great isviag mid the officers
nllowed to study at the colkge *se iu future to
undergo is more .tract eximunatioo; 1n the army
pay of General Officer,. there was an increase of
3,1111. in Consequence of the reduction of g`
merits. In the article of garrisons there itesiat in-
crease of 979/. in contespreuce of transferring
the charge of certain garrisons in North America
from the Ordnance to the Army Estimates. In
the half-pay there was an increase of 49,8071.
After describing the variations rat other departments,
the Noble Lord stated that of the outspresioners
of Chelsea and Kilmaiiiharn, when summoned to
attend in consequence of the late changes in the
army, 1,863 only absented themselves. A great
number hid Dent excuse, which had been found to
be sof& lent. The whole ournber of those from
England and Intend deemed fit fur service, upon
examination, was 12,30.5, of which 3,314 were ex-
cused on a second examination. leaving 8,991 men
proper for service, who expressed themselves very
thankful for the additioual advanteges of bring
placed on service. Upon a general oomputation
there was as actual inert-Ilse of übout 11,000 Men,
the actual increase of charge being only 424,000/.
And were it not that those events had occurred
which had caused the organisation of the veteran
battalions as a necessary measure of security, there
would have been • saving of 68,000/.. as
compered with the year before. After some
further remarks, the Noble Lord moved the first
Resolution for maintaining 91,434 men, rank and
tile, for service at home and abroad (excepting the
regiments employed in the territorial possessions of
the East India Company), (ruin 45th December,
1819, to 24'h December, 1820, both inclusive.
Lord NUGEAT said, that the enormous increase
of our military force was not justified by the cir-
comstances either of this country or of Europe,
and expressed his intentino of calling the attentioil
of the house to this
seisormous number of men
propaeed, on • rehire mid more suitable occasion.
Mr. F. I'ai.wea mode some objection., the
exact import of which we were unable to collect,
to the corps of artillery drivers. Ile contended
that had the Military College been continued
at Mai low, the sum which had been expended on
buildings at Sandhurst would bare been sufficient
to support the establishment till the present day.
Mt. flume thought, that. considering the great
expense of the cavalry, it was a question fur the
consideration of the Committee how far the number
of troops of that descriptiou ought to be kept up.
It ought to be remembered, that the estimates now
in consideration formed but one-half of the military
expenditure of the country : the total, including
the Ordnance Department, he estimated at trot
tailbone annually, and by the addition which had
beep made to the militia and yeomanry, he was
persuaded that a considerable reduction might
tie made in the regular force. The revenues
of the Colonies, toss, thou's' be brought in aid
or the military force employed fur their pistre-
lie considered that the staff at head-
quarters would admit of greater reductions than
any other department. Till 1814 the personal
pay of the Commander in Chief ausuutited in nine
guineas a dray ; hut in that year, oil account,
Ise supposed, of the great increase of duly, St was
increased to la 11... 9,1. a day—the increase of
duty, at least, was the argument urged fur rails-
itig the salary of the Secretary to the Com-
mander in Chief; but as the duty now was so
considerably diminished, lie thought that • good
reason why the pay should also be reduced.
Seeing the Right Honourable and Levine(' Judge
Advocate in his place, the Hon. Member took the
opportunity of urging the same argument to 1.
on similar grounds. Ile next proceeded to com-
plain, that as the estimate* on Ilse table stated a
deduction of 11,0006 as being defrayed front the
revenues of the lonian Islands, whereas from
other returns to which he alluded, it would appear
that 4,6801. only was paid from those revenues; as
he could not impute any attempt to delude the
'House, he moat consider the deduction so stated,
must Italie been by mistake. On the next general
head, the Military College, he would only observe,
that as it was built. and all the expenses had been
in-
curred, it would be a pity now to give it up; but it
ought to be reduced to the lowest point of expense
possible,. consistrot with the accomplishment of
object. Ile argued at great length against the
expense of the Staff appointments, and the number
of the Professors, both whiCh he thought were con-
siderably greater thau there was say necessity fur.
As to the Military As}ltirn, he would may make
one obgesvutfuoi, and that an% that if fonds were
II established for reit' so large a ;lumber uf
sib-
jects, they would always be found. The Ho-
nourable Member next adverted to the half-pay,
the amount of which lie considered might be corg-
i siderably reduced by giving eniplopirent oil full
pay when possible; and he did hope that the illus-
trious, individual at the head of the military esta-
blishments would set the example of tediretion, by
auhroitung to return to the peace allonym:rip. lie

wished to be informed in what way the medicines
were in future to be supplied ? and whether the

lie did not • believe they were, although an Inspector
of Militia was charged in the Estimates ?
Lord .1111.-rou ohserved, that as the late increase
to the military force of the country had not been
voted by Parliement, and the preamble to the
Mutiny Bill did not, as customary. stale the
amount of the troops, he wished for some explana-
tion nit that head.
Col, TRENCH (we undeystood) would not have
obtruded me the House, bad he not observed that
the sentiments of the humblest iodivithial. if deli-
vered with sincerity, were heard with attention. Ile
lila heard what hod been said against the College,
hot he was COtlletli to leave that to the judgment
and discretion of the Committee of Getters] ()M-
-eets, who were so well able to regulate the system
of edtication. As to the principle of giving • suit-
able educet into to the officer, it could not be doubt-
ed but it would reader the troops more effective in
the field, by having at their head, instead of raw
school-boys, men accustomed to discipline and ea-
lightened by science. Feeling as he did the very
great itraportatice of these advantages. which were to
Ws tumid at S outburst, he was must anxious to pre-
tevve them. The gallant officer warmly eulogised the
conduct of the Commander-in-Chief in the met'.
fion of his important duties, and adverting to what
had Tanen from the Hun. Gentleman oppovites he
paid he would not decide whether there was any ne-
cessity for his Royal Highness to snake the sacrifice
alluded to, hot certainly with refereoce to the se-
lonics of Secietaries of State. which were of the
same amount, he could not consider that the
Commander-'!!n-Chief was overpaid. He adverted
twain. to the Military College, and praised the course
of study there pursued, !and particularly the at-
tention which was paid to grounding the young gen-
tlemen in the history of their own country, and the
permission which was given them to read at their
intervals of leisure the daily papers, mid all the
best periodical publications. 1-le considered the
education thus afforded as a dohs of honour and of
gratitude due to those hernis win; had fallen in the
service of their couutry, sod if he were not appre-
hensive of fatiguing the patience or the House, he
could mentiou twenty itistauces of brave officers
dying un the field of battle, who iti their last
moments were gratified by thinking, that their
children would be secure of deriving the inestima-
ble blessings of education from their grateful
country.
Mr. BENNIITT rose principally to object to the
Ophthalmia Establishment. fie drew his objections
front a work which he held in his hand, bring a
Report of certain army surgeons to the Medical
Board, out the cases of fifteen men who had been
examined by them after being treated according to
the new practice of the ophthalmia establishment.
The Hon. Member considered the vise had tient
made nut against the establishment by that Report.
The Noble Lord had said the practice there was
both novel and successful; but tbese medical Gen-
tlemen, who he thought were iu this case the best
judges, said the very reverse.
Mr. Gometi art would not cuter into the general
question of the Colonies contributing to the expense
of their military establishments, but had risen prin-
cipally to reply to the observation of the Hon. Geo-
demon opposite (Mr. Hume). The 11,0001. to
which he had alluded was fur the Staff of the lonian
Islands, which in the year 1817 ass paid by this
country, but was now deducted.
Mr.BARHANI defended the Ophthalinia Establish-
meta, which he considered not only most beneficial,
as tending to procure some alleviation of this dread.
fel disorder, but also as most desirable, no the wore
of economy. The Hon. Member for Shrewsbury
seemed to consider the document on which lie
grounded his opinions, as the result of a deli-
berate, unprejudiced inquiry, made by competent
official persons, and thus Ise considered it as the
judgment of u Board. He might call it what he
pleased, but it was nothing more than the reply of
one party to the stotemetit of soother. The Hon.
Gentlemen could inst. be so ignorant of the subject
as not to know that there had been violent disputes:
the army surgeons nu the one part, and a Gentle-
man who said he had improved the practice in the
treatment of this disease, on the other. The docu-
ment then to which the Hon. Gentleman referred,
hail no such authority as the discussions of • Com-
mittee or the deldierations of • Beard, ou the
contrary it had no authority at all. He had
said this establishment was economical, end so he
could prove it was. The Honourable Gentleman
here entered into a calculation of the value of the
pensions granted to persons discharged from the
army hospitals as 'twistable, many of whom were
afterwards cured by the practice of Sir William
Ada Ms. and he argued that the amount of such
pensions would have been saved had the patients
been sent to the ophthalmia estsblishineut. He
wished to know what answer could be given to the
fact, that persons had been discharged as incurable
from the army hospitals who were afterwards
cbred.
Mr. PRICE testified to his knowledge of four
individuals who loud been cured by Sir William
Adams's method.

Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON thought the llonourable
hleMber for Shrewsbury should have tested the
respectable individual with a little more tenderness
than he hail exhibited. Ile thought it almost de.
cisive of the question, the fact that of a number
of persons, some having been blind four, some
six, and stme ten years, many bail been re.
covered, arid all more or less brio-flied. He
did not attack the Army Surgeons, the Army
Medical Board, or any other Board ; but he wool,'
defend the individual alma he thought was the
object of something very like a calitplrary. He
thought the Noble Lord deserved the highest de.
gree of credit for continuing the E.tablishitient in
question; and that Sir Witham A4l.lms had dr.
brrved Chit gratitirde of the country, fur his bIIC.
ful edUrts to mitigate that dreadful disorder, the
Ophthalmia.
