ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.—
This morning, in consequence of the unfavourable state of
the weather, the customary military display that takes place
on the Parade in St. James's Park, on the anniversary of the
battle of Waterloo, was countermanded by the Adjutant-
General. The men for the duty of the day were marched to
the Parade at the Guard-house, near Buckingham-gate, and
were there inspected by the Brigade-Major and staff, and
afterwards marched to their respective guards. Each man
wore a sprig of laurel iu his cap, and those of the cavalry
had one in the helmet. The colours of the battalion were
surmounted by a large bunch of laurel. In the evening, at
the Waterloo banquet, at Apsley House, it is expected that
Mr. Slater's magnificent painting of the banquet (whichbe
Moon's splendid engraving has been taken from) will
presented to his Grace, as a memorial of the glorious event
that gave peace to Europe.

Majs,r BERESFORD said it might seem an acci-
dental omission, but he could assure his Hon. and Gal-
lant Friend that it was not so. The provision it was
considered would not be necessary this year,
inasmuch
as the service to be performed would not require a
mounted field-Alcor. The men, in fact, it was felt
would be better inspected by en officer on foot, and
that was the reason tor the omission which his Hon.
and Gallant Friend complained of. Economy had been
strictly studied by the Government, and although the
ChancAlor of the Exchequer, in bringing forward his
Budget, stated that the militia estimate would be
600,000 L, he was happy to say that it did not much
exceed 20,0001.; while it had been prepared in such
manner as to meet the approval of the highest military
authority in the country.
Mr. FIUME blamed the Government for introducing
so important a measure as this at the lag-and of the ses-
sion. He objected to the increase of the militia upon
political as well as economical grounds, and he thought
the Government ought to take warning by
France, and exercise extreme caution in adding to our
military forces. He considered that every penny WI
under tho measure would be money thrown away. And
when he mentioned, that when the Duke of Wellington
was at the head of aff tirs, cur militia expenditure was
6,000,0001. or 7,000,0001. less than it was at present,
he becAme apprehensive as to the result of this rash
system of legislation, and therefore ho felt bound to
protest against it. He urged upon the Government the
necessity of taking advantege of the recess to reconsider
and revise our whole process of taxation, and endeavour,
lif possible, to devise some means for its reduction. L.
After a few words from Mr. BROTHERTON, the

OF
IMPROVEMENT OF THE JURISDICTION
orod

EQUITY BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the
third
rending of this Bill.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved the insertion of pi%
different clauses.
Mr. WALPOLE said there was no necessity for the
insertion of the first three clauses, as the object sought
would be accomplished by the regulations of the Lord
Chancellor, but he thought the other clauses-4, 5, and
6—enabling parties to put in answers and swear arnke
davits abroad would be a great improvement, and "
would therefore agree to their insertion in the Bill.
The Bill was then read a third time, and the clauses
were subsequently added.
