BANKRUPT LAWS BILL.—Lord DACRE adverted to
the intention expressed by the noble and lest ;tea lord on
the woolsack, to introduce a measure to regulate the
bankrupt laws, and obsessed he should taut press the bill
then before the house.

The Loin) cHANcr.I.Loa then in•!nsticd his Mien-.
Lion to submit to the house some regulation on that
itiii:ortant subject, and gave entice that he should bring
iu the bill next session of p.ailiament.
The bails 011 the table vs ct e forwarded in their respective
stages.
Oo the motion of the Earl of LAUDEIMALE, the
secoml wading of the Mtreatment of Hut SCJ bill was
fixed Mr Wednesday.
I's Lcosomr, ace.—Earl DARNLEY rose on the
r or the day to add, ess the house on the present state
of time country. He said, he had to advert to the suoject
of economy amidst an apparent apathy on the pats of the
uncut hers ut that house. The estimates for the present
year were large beyond precedent, and to remedy the
evil strong measui es were necessary. He dial not look to
ally minute curtailment in the public expenditure. The
reduction ut NIHAU salaries in this or that department Nas
nut his object. lle felt convinced that govelimeesit, by a
serious etlurt to promote economy, might save millions.—
The noble earl then adverted to the present state of the
navy, which lie considered much higher than the public
required. They had 73 ships of the line and 67 frigates
in commission—nine of the line were building. This
force occasioned an expence which knight be reduced,
Milli .1 considerable saving effected. The reduction of
Dept Mu dock-yard, which lie understood was in contem-
plation, would produce a saving alone of 149,2001. Build-
ing ships and conveying timber to the Thames proilaced
an enormous . On that expellee alone a deduction of
halls million might be lopped off. He then came to the
great national work at Sheerness. The storks already
done might satisfy the country, without addumag
the sum to be paid this year. He supposed at lest
40,00 UL might he deducted fawn the estimate. In the
naval depa Intent at sas mu;; of at least 800,0001. 'night be
regard to the army, he could not help
thinking many retrenchments might be made. The horse
and toot guards occasioned dii expellee of 315,0001. He
could not help thinking his 51ajesty was surrounded by
mote guards than necessary. On that head of service
:10,0001. ani:At be deducted, and leave a force sufficient
fr the assistance el tile police. Deductions in the infan-
try and yrowawv :nip ht also be made, and produce a
deduction altugc Met of 400,0001. The slll3l at 450,0001.
was voted fur the expence of barracks. lie thought a
saving might be made on that Rein. Instead of 4'..0,6001.
I.io,tiaol. might be sufficient. Upon the aimy alone there
might be a deduction of 700,0001. If those Mho said
economy was their object would enter into all the details,
they might proceed to a sale of laud• and bedding& which
had never been of any use. If economy ams the object,
there could be no doubt that a satin; at 10 per cent.
might be made io every department of governments He
then adverted to the civil ►ist—giving the Monarch all
the splendour due to his dignity, nothing could add more
to the satisfaction of the pi uple than sacrifices on the poet
of the CrOslll. lie did not wish to be invidious, but he
was sure a great reduction might take place in that head
of expenditure. The expence of foreign ministers per-
haps was not mare than necessary, but when a crisis WAS
apploaching, like that which he was persuaded would
soon happen, nallisteis ought to aelrou•.•b to the utmost,
and a sating in at least 11,u00,, 00i. might Le effected. In
the expellee occasioned by the collection of the revenue
ut least half a million might be saved. The noble curl
cone:oiled by moving that au Imitable address be pre-
armed to his Majesty, implu►mg hint to take into his most
serious consideration the difficulties and distresses of the
country, and praying his Majesty to give directions to
the executes in all the great departments or
state. sc.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL diJ nut object loan address
to his Majesty to promote economy-, bin he differed ul vin
the terms used by Lord Darnley, and proposed another
address, " to &same his Majesty that the house regarded
tants satisfaction the reduction made tins year in the Cll•-
tams, and begged that similar investigation may be made
is all branches of the intone expenditure; and to beseech
his Majesty to order inquiry into the civil departments,
milli a vicar or making every possible reduction in the
expenee of great establishments nitich the country is
ot.iieed to maintain." die. tt.

Emil GROSVENO it gave his decided preference to the
motion of his noble fl kilt" (Earl Darnley.) He had heard
the noble eat I state to the house on foauer occasions the
%cry same assurances they had jint braid from hint. The
sinew sof war were to be f I oily .0 the piusperity of
the comitiy. Gaudy shows and butteilly exhibitions
wound ill become the distresses of a nation already borne
down by distresses; and nothing could mule firmly esta-
blish his Majesty on the nil one than erollolll. This brought
bits to tke cereinuny which was .110111) to take place.
He considered the advice given to r %elude the Queen
flout the coronation most injudicious. Admitting the
law to be clear against the crow ' gof the Queen, and her
7slaj..,ty had no light to he present, still, under the peen-
hat circumstances of the conntiy, the advice given to
exclude her was injutheions. He knew It was said hi.
Majesty could set aside the coionstion of the Queen by
the precedent of Beau tile Seventh; but he believed it
w ouPd appear the marriage of that Mamee,' did hot take
place until after the coronation, and if so, it would furnisli
180 pieceilent. He had beet, always of opinion, that unless
ice coronation was without oioy„ it would be a vain and
i.ile pageant. The lice and chains of the ceremony would
be the good wishes of the people; bet, above all, he was
disposed to deprecate the emplr.y °sent of suldieis. in hit.
