itself. As to the other rastigc to -which, is having
been left out,. the Honourable Gentleman had al-
luded, he rather thought that it was the• passage 111
which related to the increase of the influence of the
Crown. One objeaion to that passage was, that
whilst it enumerate-dal! the s:ircuinstances which had
increased tire influence of the Crown, it omitted all
those by whiCh the influence of the Crown had been
-
diminished:: It was his opinion, at least, that it
that subject Were to be introduced- at all into die
Report; all the circumstances on both' si4s ought to
have been noticed. But there was a still stronger
objedion to the passage. The objet of she appoint-
ment of the 'Committee was not to inquire into the
increase or diminution of the influence of the Crown,
but to investigate-tile circumstances of the Public Exe
penditurei and to report how lar'Public Money might
be saved in that Expenditure. He was sorry to take
up. the time of the House between the merits of the
original Report and • the alteralions which'had been
indde in it. But he should be glad if every amend
men( that had been. proposed, and ever y question that
had been discussed' in th 6 Corainittee, were before
the House, and ho was confident that the House
would concur in every'alttration. which had been
made.

Mr. }URNS, THORNTDN. deiired that this subje&
should be fully explained to the House. He had
risen tOsuppt,rt the statement that had been made
by-the Chairman of the Coeunitiee, and to prevent
anf improper impression being made by the state-
ment of the Hen. Gentleman Who had Alt fiat down.
Thar Hon. Gentleman. seemed to think that the dif-
lereoce between the passages of the °ripened Report
and the. alterations madu iu /it was wholly unim-
pertain, whereas for his own part, he thou& it
by no means trifling or unimportant. As the Re.
port littiod a week ago, it expressed a wish to retain
those sinecure places which were OcCus6aryto the
dignity of the CrOwn, and went on to state, that toe
remainder with few exceptions, ought- to be ago.
licked. In this passage, the Coiernittee expres•eda
decided opinion upon the priticiple of sinecures.- It
recognised the principle of the former Vi oattee Cotten.
ruittee, in ee..irv:ng those inert:: es whiCh would be
the remuneration of great public services,. amend for
Which, if not r.!served, a prop :-ion should be substi-
tuted otat of the putties funds of the .Country, whilst,
at the same time, it asserted a principle against sine.
.cpres in general. The Amendment', on the contrary,
stated only that some sinectzresonght to be retreoched,
and others abolished, without coutah.ing any ()pinion
:against the general principle of sinecure plaees„.:As to
the other, passage which had bees alln4ed to, that
was not of so: much .consequence:. .The increase of
the influence of the Crown had only been introduced
.to,rneet an argument:against retrenchment, that it
would, lessen that influence, by chewing, that if it
.shoeld be diminished. by. such Teirehchni6ut, it had.
:been increased in other respeCts.
The Report Was then ordered to lie on the table,
and on the gne,tiou that the Report with the Ap-
pendix, be printed, •
Dl,r. HoraNk3t desired to Ttpow what part of the
:eehenhti,es docometus, were to be printed, and what
withbeid from the;general inspeetion of the House
by not being printed. • -
Mr;BANKEs assured the Hon. Member, that
every important part had been sole le to be piinted,.
anti that lbe House would have every thing heces-
.sary to enable it to form an opinion upon the subjeo.
Besides, there was annexed to the Appendix, a ea-
talogue of all the Papers whhir be had presented, by
which any Hou. Gentleman would be enabled to
refer to any docUment in the set which he might
think it necessary consult.
Mr. kiENltlf XLIORINTON a.!Jed, that the printed
part would contain a list, of all pensions,
,sinectiro,

places tilled lay deputies, 0131411itieS without duties
anneied, and reversions, in short of all places inde-
pendent of. the establishments.

he should Submit a proposition to the House, on the

subjea of the •Ntiti(ins he had presented from the
several perions who had been imprisoned in Ireland.

to that L:ientleman'S genius and services. But .the
i.e.!' state of the case was, that for several' month;
before his superannuation, the Board of Admiral-

dire& orders. It they directed him to supply a Particu-
lar map orchttrt to a particuhr vessel;. he replied with
written folin;, containing reasons for his not comply-
