MALLISON'S LIFE PRESERVER,

Sir F. BuItDETT; in calling the attention of the
House, pursuant to notice, to the jacket invented
by Mr. Mallison, for the preservation of persons shipwrecked,
entered into a detail of the merits nf,,that invention, It Was
an invention of so much utility, that he was quite at a loss to
imagine what possible objection there could be to the motion
with which he should conclude, especially as inventions of,
inferior merit had received saeL ample remuneration. The
ability of Mr. Mallison had been acknowledged on all hands,
all bad admitted the Value of his discovery; and when he
considered how many lives might be saved by its more general
adoption, he felt convinced that the House would see the
propriety of-giving it some encouragement. The utility of
Mr. M.'s plan was not probleelatical, it had been ascertained,
as appeared froin the favourable testimony of Capt. Hari is,
iu one particular instance, where many lives were saved by
using Mr. M.'s jacked, thaVotherwise must-have heels lost.
To apply this plan throughout our navy a very small sum of
money would be required, a much smaller sum than had been
voted to promote cqaptain Manby's invention; and with the
view of promoting such object, he should move for a Coin,
mittee to inquire into the expediency of carrying into execu-
tion-Mr. Mallinsen's plan of .saring,the lives of persons in
-danger at sea. •
• Mr. ROSE' said that this Motion was quite unnecessary, as
Mr. Mallison's plan had already bee' most fully tried, as well
as Capt. Manhy's, in a Committee of I,n4p.kiry, that had al-
' ready been appointed by the House on 04. very subject.
That saute- Comulittee recommended a reward of 1001. to the
inventor. That reward was deemed amply suflicient'for
simple au invention -As to its utility, there was. not the re-
motest chance of. saving more lives than were preserved by
the means already resorted to. But one instance of its nit!-
.

rit bad been add iced; and if the- plan really bad merit, it
would reward itself., • • - •.
Sir J. YORKE believed the plan to be wholly destitute of
that practical utility which could justify the House in aCqui-
esing in the motion. The great and only merit of Mr. Malli-
son's invention appeared to b 9 to have proved that cork. was
ota light and floating nature!
Mr. WHITBREAD, spoke in favour of Mr. Mallison's in-
vention, and thnught that much benefit, at a little expence,
would be derived from supplying all the ships of war with a
certain number of these jackets. .
Mr. C. W. WYNNE trusted that no time would be lost in
carrying into'effect Gitptain IVlanby's plan, by which upwards
ot.loo lives had already been saved.
Sir F. BURDETT, in reply, acknowledged the merit of
.Captain Maohy's plan, for the carrying into execution of
which 16;0001.. hart been granted ; but as that plan came in
aid of Mr. Mallison's, instead of superseding it, he thought it
hat prudent and right to grant some encouragement to Mr.
M.'s excellent invention.
Mr. ,W. SMITH said, that-nothing near so large a sum bad
been granted.

DUKE OF CUMBERLAND'S MARRIAGE.

........
. . _
Lord CAsTLEREaox moved the Orderk.of the
Day for the Mouse to resolve itself into a Com-
mittee of the whole House,. td take into consi-
deration the Prince Regent's. Message relative rO
the Marriage of the Duke of-Cumberland.
The SPaAKER having left the Chair,
Lord. CASTLEREAGH. raid, he did not think it
would be necessary ftir him to trouble the House
on the present occasion, further than to accom-
pany the proposition. be had to submit to their
consideration with a few preliminary observations.
He believed it would be allowed, that when any
Branch of the Royal Family .married, it was na-
tural to.suppose, that, in order to keep up the
dignity of the family, the Parliathent would be

ready to vote such a sum as should answer that
purpose, in doing which they would only be add-
ing strength to the Monarchy, under which we
derived so many blessings. He did not know that
there was any actual precedent for the motion
which he should have to submit to tite.House-;
btit certainly, by analogy, it might fairly he
fer red, that when a Branch of the. Royal Family
had incurred so great. an addition to his..expences
as he mast do by a inarriagei-it would appeal
clearly to the House that some addition would be
actually necessary, in order. 10 keep up that splen-
dour and -dignity which every one must wish to
sec supported by all the Members of the•illustri-
ous House which now tilled -the, throne of this
.United .Empire. When the sum- of 18,0001. a:
,year was settled on the Duke of Cumberland awl the-other Princes of the Royal Family,. it was
thought fully adequate to keep up the dignity of
_their. stations as bachelors, but could never be
supposed to answer those increased expeuces which
must- inevitably be entailed ott them in -conse-
quence of their entering into a married state. It
would also be recollected, that-in case the illus-
trious Princess whom the Royal Duke had espous-
ed should happen to survive her Royal Consort,
-it would be- necessary that some provision should
be made for her support after such decease. The
Illustrious Princess with whom the Duke of Cum-
berland had contracted an alliance, though of
correspondent rank with his Royal-Highness, was
not, however, possessed of such a fortune as
would enable her to live in a state suitable to the

appearance-of the widow of one of the sous of

the King of this country. Under these circum-
_stances he would therefore propose, that an addi-
tional sum of '6,0001. a year should be added to
the income of his Royal Highness the Duke of
-Cumberland. He concluded by moving,
" That a sum not exceeding 60001. be taken from the Con-
solidated as• an increase of the income of his Royal
'Highness the Duke of Cuinherland, and to be settled upon die
Puchess iu case of survivorship."
KEEZIK, in a low voice, observed that the

Measures
,which the,Nohie Lord had proposed 'at
various timeiimf late, had been the means of Work- •
ing those wonders Which we had witnessed on the
Continent, and for these measures he considered
him 'entitled to the full Confidence of the House.
Bat be chnld not agree with him in the motion
that be now brought forward. There-was no man
more attached- to the liniited Monarchy of this
country than himself, becauseit. was for the a&
vantage of all who wished for just security and
pro•tection of their liberties,. persons, and pro-
perty. In consequence of this attachment which
was general 'with every Member of that House,
a very liberal increase had been Made to the re=
venues of the different branches of the Royal Fa-
mily at various times, In 1806, the income of the
younger Royal Dukes had been increased- to
18,000/. each, and he must say-that,
,in
.his opi-
nion, such a sum afforddmi--..a Royal Duke more-
means expence than 13.0001. or 24,000/. gave
to ally other individual. If it was intended by
his Royal Highness to reside abroad, the income
he at present enjoyed would ,go .further than
.30,0001. here. When he considered the number
of poor persons involved in misery by tire late
splendid victory, he should feel more pleasure in
giving that sum towards the relief of the relatives
of those who had been killed. He could not con-
cur in the motion, when he knew there was so
many claims upon us, that the stun might he much
better employed. The Hon. Gentleman then
made some allusion to the sums granted to the
Duke of Wellington, and of the limited income
enjoyed by the mother 'of that great person : his -
remark-s were not distinctly heard ; but we un-
derstood him to say, that the income of the Royal
Duke was comparatively greater than the whole
of what was derived, as annuities, by the Duke of
Wellington, from the grants of Parliament. He
concluded with opposing the motion.
Sir M. W..illtpLuit would not yield to the No-
ble Lord in respect to the Royal Family, or to
any man in love to the existing Constitution ; but
he felt that in expressing his sentiments on the
present.ques.tion with freedom, he proved both.
He filgimeil that the circumstances attending the
Duke of York's marriage should not be consider:.
eel as of any weight in the, present case ; for that
WAS ultimately connected With the best interests
of the Empire. God forbid that the present
young Prince4s, to whom- we all look with love
Sand respect, should not possess the throne of these
.realMs, and transtn.4 them with honour to her
posterity. - thought time argument of the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Keene) relative to the Duke of
Cumberland's residing in a foreign countrY,Should
•be considered. In the first place, his present in-
C9IIIC was sufficient on the Continent to support
; and in the second, there was no rea-
son why 6000/'. should be added to it,,to be ex-
, pended in a foreign country. But even were the
Duke to *reside in this country, he did not think
it,necessary to make such a grant. He observed,
that his expressions on a former night had been
misrepresented ; he was stated to have declared
his intention of opposing the vote required by the
Message delivered from the Prince Regent. Yn
this he was misunderstood ; for although be stood
up immediately after the reading of that Mes-
, sage,, it
.ass with the intention of declaring, his
disapprobation of the former relative to the pre-
sent question.
The CHANCELt.on or ale EXCHEQUER- timnked
the Hon. Baronet for the candid manner in which
he had explained the mistake he had, just alluded
to, and was sorry to find he differed so much
from his Noble Friend on time present'vestion.
, He begged the House to consider, that in keep-
ing up the splendour and dignity of the Members
of the Royal Family, consisted greatly the sop-
port of the Monarchy. The question, ,therefore,
was, whether the present provision were neces-
sary or not. As to the point which bad been al-
luded to of time parties residing abroad, he did not
know from whence it arose ; no such information
had been giyen frotn his side of the House, and
there4re it appeared strange that time necessity of
residing abroad-shaulei be pointed out by any one.
Mr. W. KEENE explained.

'qr. BENNETT complained that a measure of such
great importance should 'have been brought for-;
yard at such
,a late period of the Session. The
Crown enjoyed at this tigie nearly a million a-year
for,its own expellees, , and he saw no reason why
Parliament should be called on to make such a
provision for one of its branches out of the pockets
of the people. Resides, he was sorry to stay, that
of all the brancheS 6i the Royal Family, the con-
duct of the Duke of Cumberland" had been such,
that he was the only one to Whom he should
have made the objectigh. It must, appear harSh
to say so, but he had a duty to perform which
required him to 'speak the truth, and he was
determined to fulfil that duty. In doing this, he
was sure he spoke the general feeling of society•
in this country, and that the public would be less
inelintd to,give any addition to the income of the
Duke of Cumberland, than to any other branch
of the Royal Family. lie objected also to the
circumstances attending the parties. He was
certain, that if the Icing had been now on the
throne, he would not have Consented ,to this mar-
riage : and he believed the Queen had-said she did
not think it was fit the Duke of Cumberland should
'be married to a Princess; between whom and the
Duke of Cambridge a marriage had been broken
off.

Sir C. BURRELL said, he hoped the Noble Lord
would explain that pan of the transaction, to
which allusion had been made, as to the time when
the marriage took effect. As he understood the
matter in question, the Duke of Cumberland's
emoluments altogether amounted . to 21,0001. a
year, which he thought was quite enough to keep
up his rank. If the Princess had brought his
Royal Highness a 'large tontine, a provision for
her, in case of the Duke's death, might have been
.asked for.. The Duchess of York had brought
with her a fortune of 100,0001. and as such, a
suitable provision was necessary; hut, according
to the present eireuinstauces of the country,' he
could not agree to the motion.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, nothing could be more
painful than to observe the turn which the debate
had - taken, and if Ministers were to be thus in-.
-terrogated upon -every measure-they deemed it
necessary to advise, nothing could be more inju-
rious to the monarchy. There had been no un-
due dole yin bringing the subject before the House,
