NORTH F.I,N CIRCUITS.

Mr. M. A. AY LOR rose, pursuant I'6 his no-
flee, to move that the Assizes should .he held
twice a year in die four Northern Counties. As the
subject had'heen several times discussed last year,
there was no occasion for 'him to,take up the time
Of the House on this occasion, especially as there
was little or no difference of opinion on the sub-
ject. lie was happy to state that his Majesty's
Ministers had already taken some caosiderabie
step§ to accomplish the object in view. 'He .then
moved, that an Address be, presented to the Prince
Regent, praying that measures might be adopted
fore holding AsSizeS 'twice a year in the font.
Northern Counties, and that the Flone would
make good any eipences incurred for that' ling
pose.

The SoLtcrtott-'GEtt'Ai:aisiii-ed the lionsethat
the•suhject Under•the auxions-cOussid6rl-
- of his Majesty's Government, and that an
arrangenient waS nOw'improgress for accoMplish-
ing the desirable'object Mentioned in the'Add.ress.
Mr. DaNzitaNVxpie'ssed' much surprise that the
flotise was nOW, loi-'the first time, informedthat
the subject Was tinder the Consideration of Go-
wernment. It was nearly 12 niondis since the
Repi?rt:Of on this,l subject had been
'presented. At the'llist Assizes, the four Northern
CountieS had petitioned to be plk'sced'on'the same
footinwas to the adininistr-ation of justice with the
Othet'parts of the kingdoin.''lle was very happy
to'-agree to the preseiwinotion, especially as be
understood that the cumber of Judges was not to
be increased. The Himi...tind Learned Member,
after some• observatiobi'iih'ehe evils of increasing
the mitriber of Judges, expressed a hope tl;..z the
obje.ermentioned in the Address would be sqieedfly
accomplished:
.Lord CASTtEitCAMt iepelied the chat-ke. of in-
pineiess OR the part 'of Government as to 'this
question. Such had , not by any means been the
character of their conduct. It was no Wondeethat,
Government had .not yet fixed tilion. any •phin,
‘tlith,-it was considered that the tiodohrahle

Mover of the Address, and the Hun. and Learned

:vlember who spoke last, differed in opinion as to
the 'propriety of inereashig the number of Judges.
Mr. M.A. TAYLOR Said, if he had thought any
discussion was to have .taken' place On this sub-

jeer, he would have entered into it fully:
Mr. DEN MAN exPlairieit...

ROYAL MESSAGE.
Lord CASTLERKAGH appeared at the Bar, and

delivered a Message from Ills Royal Highness-the
Plince. Regent, whicli was read by the Speaker,
and was as tOIiOWS

" GEORGF:, P. it.

"The Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf
of his Majesty, acquaints the House of Commons, that the

sum of 58,0001: per annum, which, in the distribution of his
Majesty's Civil List Revenue, was appropriated to the main-
tenance of the Establishment, and to the support of the ho-

nom. and dignity of the tZ:tcn, )liy the lamented de-
mise of her Majesty, become disrasabie by his Royal High-
ness for the general purposes of the Civil List, the Prince
Regent places this suns at the disposai of Parliament. He
thinks it at the same time inerrinbent upon bin) to slate, that
there exists certain claims upon a part of this saving, which
he recommends to the justice and.lili4raLty of the House of
ornmons. 'arse-claims arc founded AM the faithful services
of the persons who formed the separate Establishment of her
late Majesty,-and are limited to those seiVices.
" The Prince Regent is 'satisfied that he may cimfidently
rely on the loyal attachment of the );louse of Commons to
enable him, upon the reduction of that Establishment, to
grant to the several individuals belonging to it, such allow-
ances as it hits been usual for the Crown to bestow on former
occasions when the Royal Family has been visited with a si-

milar affliction."
Lnrd CASTLEIMAGII said, he meant first to pro-
pose an Address in answer to this Gracious Mes-
sage. lie Would atterWards move that the. Mes-
sage he tal,en into consideration, and then that it
be reerred- to a Committee of the whole House.
to which also he meant to move, that the part of
the speech of the Lords CominisionerQ, touching
the demise of her late Majesty, shon!d dsu be re-
ferred. He then. moved. that an bumble Address
be presented to his Royal ilighnesc, slating• !hat
the noose had received his Royal IliAliness's gra-
dons Message, and would proceed to take the
same into immeditve consideration.
The motion WelS agreed to.
WINDSOR- ESTABLISHMENT.—HER LATE MAJES-
TY'S HOUSEHOLD.

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, t`►at that Part of
the Lords Commissioners' Speech at the one+►in;;
of the Session, which related to the deinke of her
Majesty, be reach—Tbe Clerk then read the AL s-
sage..

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the Hoose had
already carried to the Throne their deep aril heart-
felt condolence on the melancholy demise of her
)Majesty. It now remained for them to enter upon
the ocher duties-which had arisen out of that sad
event. But as it had nor been his lot 't'o be pre-
sent on the former occasion, he trusted he,mighf
he allowed to toke ibis opportunity of expressing
tbe,deep sense which he felt Of the sefwiees which,
had been rendered by 11:-r. late Maks-I-y.lw the
State, timing the pro flier ed period Of fifty-seyen'
years, in which she had shared the throne of our
revered Monarch. The example. of unaffected
piety and unostentatious charity,- which- had been,
afforded by her late Majesty, must long continue
to operate-very favourably oti the morals of this
great country.—(Hear, hear,!').=-.71t -remained for.
hint to enter upon the or her questions which must
engage the attention of the House.- -The subject
naturally.divided itself ;into two branches—lst..
What provision Was necessary for the care of-his
Majesty's persons and, 2dlv, Those .measures
arising from the demise. of. her Majesty, and the
changes which must take- place inithe Royal
Esta-
blishment, As to. the first branch; a 13111 had been
bronght froni.the other House, and• was ifow on
the table, which directed that those poWers Should
be vested in the Duke of York, which, bylbellill
of 181"1, had been confided to her late Majesty. He
was sure there could be no difference of opinion
as to the fitness of the person to whom the Bill
now.before the {loose entrusted thesepp-wers.—

ds
fr'ntetrt in. 1812 (one
ont the.eivil List) .for the support of-the'Wintl7.

the passage its. the Speech of the Lords Conimis-
sioners, ttihich had been read, shonidhe referred to

lite Committee, to ascertain the votes' which wdold

he necessary on the Bills. The question was one
of great detail, which it was. desirable the House
should extiniine. He therefore- proposed, that,
before going into a Coniniittee. of -the' whole
House,. they appoint one to examine -the
details, and fu6lish the House.with
,such an ae=
count as [night facilitate ihe discussion. h was
therefore his intention not to take a vote to-night

on the merits of the question, but to delay that
till they,had thi, Report of the Committee. And
here, he could not help rernarkitig.on the nature
of the vote which he would ultimately have to
call for. It was not for any. new grant to the
Crown. OA the contrary:, it was. to enable the
Crown toCarry into effect its intention` Of giving
up part Of, those grants:.whieb had already been,
made to. it,--an application to Parliament to divest
the Crown of those funds i.t?lricirilad been grant=
ed to it, and ;o place them again.at the dispop.
of Pat liarnent:-and also an application for powers
to 'reduce the establishment at 'Windsor. These,
appliCations were necessary, from,fhe state of the
law as it,loW,stood, whichprevented any reduction
unless under the authority of Parliament; ThiS:
authority was now required, to enable the
to divest itself of a proportion of the Civil List
so as to plaCe it in the Consolidated Fund,. or, In
other words, in the public purse,', As the law at
present Stofl, rt was provided, that whatever say-
ing took place any branCh of:the Civil. List .ex-
penditure (except the third, which consisted of the
payments made to Foreign Minister) shoOld be
carried over.. to any other class of services in the
Civil List, under the warrant of the Treasury.

Kbout to snake, the whole of ti.e .58,000/. kirnl

the 100,0001. might be applied in this way by a
wamint from the Treasury. But he trusted, that
Parliameut would receive the proposal übich he

tvas about to make, as an earnest of the sincere

lesire on the port cf his Itopil Highness the
!rince Regent.and of his A.bijesty's Ministers, that

any redaction which could possibly be made in
the public expenditure would be made freely, aid
at once. ; And if the Iluuse saw that there ww; this

Mr. CsxxlNO, considering the various admis-
sions of the Right lion. Gentlentars as so many
mods of a disposition to let the matter he sub-
Mitted to a Committee, thought the division of the
subject adopted by his Noble Friend, in proposing
the arrangement; was not inapt or ill Suited to the
fair diteussion of the subject.* It Was, however,
to be suppoied, these admissions would of course
be einalified by somet king ; and the result
was, the Right Honourable Gentleman wished the
queStion to be referred to the Committee, so as
that they should not take the proposed Establish-

into the investigation, whether it should be taken
at that estimated rate of expence, or at a- Mole
Moderate one. He should apply his retisarks; first,
to runt part of the speech of cite Right Hon.
Gentleman which- came last in order, namely, the
allowance to the officers and domestics. In the
ca-se of the demise of Queen Caroline, and in that
of the Princess Dowager of IVales, which, though
not a case of the demise of a Queen, was there-
fore, o fortiori, applicable here, all the officers and
domestics of these illustrious personages retired
on their full pensions and allowances of wages,
which nevertheless could not he considered more
*that' half of the emoloments of their sit nation,wheo
it is recollected that on rerirints they lost a place
of residence, a weld assorted table, in mail in-
stances their carriages, together with various other
allowances, altogether constituting the most va-
luable part of what they severely. lost.—(llear,
hear !)—Upon -the topic of the Privy Purse; as
the private property of his Majesty, the Right
Hon. Gentleman seemed to him, to have labonied
under a complete mistake; the *question whether
it was or was not private property being -*no
longer a Matter of debate. This question had, .
so tar bark. as. 1812, been settled fOr ever by ats
Act of Parliament ; after reading which he should
be much astonished if any Gentleman subscribed
to the opinion of the Right Honourable Member,
that to hold --this property any longer the King's
private property was an absurdity. in arguing;
the questions of this establishMent, he shook'
have taken this not as debateable, but settled,
and never to be unsettled but by another Act
of Parliament, repealing the existing laws of the
land. By the 51st of the King it was enacted,
that the Ministers of his Majesty's Privy Purse
and Private Property should be empowered ao re-
cover all profits and dividends of such property,
to be laid out by them its the purchase of 'other
funds, for and on behalf of :his Majesty, and
ue-
serve the same; with the profits arising from
them, from time to time, and for the sole use and
behoof of his Majesty," adding, " that its case
no disposition . shall be -made by .tvill or- the
-same by his ,Majesty, the whole of such pro-
perty so undispOsed of, shall be disposed of accord.
ing to law." If the English language could more
effectually protect property from innovation on
the .claims of the public or individuals -lenea.
rally, it had been done- with the utmost scru-
pulosity in this instance'. Whatever, therefore,
remaitred,'must follow the will, if will there were:
if none, it -most, necessarily b.: disposed of by the
natural and ordinary process of lacy, .11 any rea-
sonable grounds could be ofVered for its repeal,
the only way for the 'Right Hon. Gentle Ma- to
bring about its discussion with propriety, would
be to move its repeal. By another Act, "it had
been. determined that as other properties, ejusdent
generis, had been disposed of during the sound-
ness of mind of his Majesty, in pensions to his
faithful servants *Who had grown old in his service,
50 the claims of those subsequently 'to the passing
of that Act, should. remain 'with and be examined

by the custos of-his person, by whom they should,
it thought fit, be remunerated." The case of titC5C
persons was more peculiarly interesting ; they had
not in This case been deprived of their places by
the 'stroke of death, where they must have con-
cluded their services were.at an end, whilst they

Vas but just a compensation sbouhl be made by
law, which, in case of death, the deceased wou'd

have provided should have "brew made by specific
bequests—(.-Tear !)—Hence liberty was given by
this Act to the citstos, •to place them on the Pen-
sioners' List on the Privy Purse; and' the
Queen had been authorised to remunerate not

only those decayed. but those cut off by An
Act of the Legislature, by pensions propor.
(loped to their services. The conduct of the Duke

of York had been :•uch as became the rank lid

had .ever held in the public estimation, and wor-
thy of himself. BY the Act which had passed in
another House, it was clear he had accepted the
appointment of rtatos,. without stipulation, and
there was no doubt he would; execute that high
and important trust, whether Palliament did or

did noimake him indemnification, for remunera.
tionin such a case there could be none.—(Hear!)
—lt however was impossible, as he was satisfied
by the new course of life which be would he forced
by circumstances to adopt, that he should not be
put to consitkerable inconvenience as well as ex-
pense. lf,'however, the vote of 10,0001. a year
should by 'epy person be 'considered extravagant,

•wher:e, taking inro consideration the admissions

:alreidy made by the flight lion. Gentleman, lie

trusted that he ‘vOuld be, if not a complete eon-
:vert, very nearly approximated to that suite.
if-here was no question that the House could and
Oight deal with these fUnds- as they liked ; but
question before the House was the mere ow-

line of the Establishment, the minute parts of
could not row be appropriately or wi:lt
twactical benetit,diseussed on its first introduc-
tion to the attention of the House. One thin;;
was certaiu, which was, that should the

pursuing too far suggestions of economy, refuse
to wake any arrangement of this Establishment,
it would not follow that there would be no Esta-
Wishment at 'Windsor; but should the House
make one inconsistent with the dignity anti
respect due to the Illustrious Sufferer, it would
be sure to meet with a rejection in a fur-
ther stage, and the present Establishment
would continue with all its unnecessary and
surplus expences, so that the public, instead
of being gainers, would be prejudiced by the en-
deavours of the House to diminish the expends
of the present Establishment.—{Load cries of
Ileac, hear, hear !)—Upon the whole, the Hon.
Gen leman might be convinced by the tesult that
et-wy aft elflpt had been Olathe to eCOnoinise to the
1110 St extent which was consistent with the re-
spect which was due to the Sovereign ; and lie
trusted that when he came out 01 the Committee,
lie would be persuaded to retract his opinion, •
tiler than suppose that there was any disposition
to overlook the wishes of the country.
Mr. TIERNEY, its explanation, observed, that
'he already knew of the Act to which his atten-
tion had been called. He did -not feel disposed
to prejudice the question ; but having the whole
subject before him, what could be fairer than to
take the .10,0001. it-year out of the Privy Purse,
in order to apply it to an object, than which his
Majesty. had he personally' the disposal of it,
coedit not wish any thing wore desirable ? His
wish was to do all that might be satisfactory
both to the Royal Duke, who was to have the
care of Isis Majesty's person, and to the Public.
Mr. CANNING acknowledged that he did tills-
undetstand the opinion of the Right Hon. Gen-
tlest:ass, oamcly, that his Majesty bad no longer a
riglit to the Privy Purse. He now understood
that this was his theoretical principle, but that he
did not internl to carry it into practice.
Some further explanation on this subject took
place bettveen IVIr. CANNING and Mr. TIERNEY,
and 81,0 on the part of Lord CASTLEREAGH,
after which the question was put, and it was
una,:itnotisly agreed that it shookd he referred to
the Committee, awl that the consideration of it
should conic before the House on this clay se'u-
night.

The Bill for the care of his Majesty's Person
was read a second time, and it was agreed unani-
ntontdv that it should be committed to a Commit-
tee of the whole House to-morrow.

It wus ordered that there should be brought up
an altraet of the net produCe of the Revenue of
the United Kingdoms during the four quarters
preceding the sth of January, 1819, and also for

THR LATE UNFORTUNATE ALLIANCE.—It must
be gratifying to the friends of a certain Peer to
bear,that an arrangement has taken place which
has reconciled all parties. Our Readers will re-
collect, that we -stated a short time since, that
the presumptive heir of a distinguished Lord had
formed an imprudent matrimonial connexion. The
female has consented to waive all claims, in con-
sideration of a moderate annuity for life. This
step has saved both the individuals from ruin, and
the intended legal steps for cutting off the entail
have been abandoned.

Office-keeper. _

DREAMING TO SOME PURPOSE.-It iS a curious
circumstance, but nevertheless a well-authenti-
catepl fact., that No. 5535, drawn a Prize of
30,000/. in the late Lottery, was bespoke by Bisu
at the Bank, in consequence of an order given by
a person who had dreamt that it would be drawn
a Capital Prize. As this person did not feel: in-
clined to adventure so largely as to take a-whole
Ticket, he purchased but a small Share, and the
remainder was lett for --disposal to the Public.—
The half was purchased by a Gentleman at Dart-
ford, and the remainder went in lesser Shares to
various individuals. As this Number would in
probability have been sold in a whole Ticke!,
hut fur the circumstance of the person who
amt of is having bespoke it, the Gentleman
nreame possessed of the half must ho
Ow.ibt Lel much obligation to his sleeping pa hie:.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morning, have not al rived.

ITHE FUNDS.-CITY.-The situation of the
Monied Interests has become rather alarming,
front the determination of the Directors of the
Bank not to prolong the redemption •of 40 per
cent. upon the Omninm. The Jew party, who
anticipated this refusal, have been persuading
their connection to purchase all the stock pos-
sible for some time back, whilst they have, it is
said, been privately selling immense cpantities of
Stock, and bringing most of the pledged Stock
into the Market. We stated on Wednesday Ct.!
determination of the Bank not to "grant the prayer
of the Petition, for which we were accused by
the Jew party of being premature, bit the result
has proved the correctness of our informa-
tion. One eminent broker sold this morn-
ing upwards of 700,0001. Stock, and others
have rushed into the House, anxiously en-
deavouring to get rid of their Stock at almost any
price. Consols have been done as low as 76; for
(he Account, and 761, for Money ; and from the
distressed state of the Money Market, to make
good die approaching payments upon our own
and foreign Loans, a generll gloom preraiL..—
Csnsols have been done for ills Account at 791 ;
this difference of near two per cent. has already
been severely felt by many respectable men, who
have settled their acconnts at the present loss, and
involved themselves in great difficulties. The
settling day will be the 27th inst. This morning
the Commissioners gave 77.1 for reduced, and were
served generally by the Jobbers.

Thanks were yesterday voted at the General
Court of Proprietors c);' the East India House to
General. Sir Tnom 5 1-114Lrip, for his gallant con-
duct .in India, after a discussion of some length
respecting his hanging the Kilkdar of the fortress
of Ta!vier. It was at length agreed to add to the
Vote of Thanks, that the Court gave nu opinion
at present upon this transaction.

The chief subject introduced in the House of
COMMONS, last night, related to the Establishment
respecting His MAJESTY. We are as much dis-
posed to be friendly to national economy as the
wannest partizan of Opposition, when' -it can be
adopted consistently with the dignity of the
Empire, and the veneration tine to the character
and virtues of our excellent Monarch. At his
advanced period of life, it cannot be` 'supposed
that he will be much longer an the
Country, The proportion -which each of his
loyal Subjects might pay towerds tire support of
the Establishment in question is incalculably
trifling, and must be paid wit!) *aEcion and
pleasure, rather than relucttsuc•e. We-cGnfess, for
our own part, that we would rath.!r-tee the Eva-
blishment remain on its present beide 'till our
venerable Monarch shall close his estimable life.
It is due to his station, to his character, to
his virtues, and: to his aflations. It is due
also to the character of the Empire, and what-
ever may be the national bur•thens, as the

expence in question must, from its nature, be
merely temporary, we conceive that a loyal
and generous People would bear them with
chearfulness, rather than listen to those churlish
and niggardly spirits wLo would abridge that ex-
pence. History will record this mean attempt to
sully the character of an Empire, which, during his
MAJESTY'S reign, has extended its own glory and
given peace to the world. His MAJESTY has
held torch a bright example of Patriotism, of po-
litical wisdom, of religious purity, and of private
virtue, to the fa.ture Monarchs of this and every
country, and the honours cqicl: will be due to

his memory must be grateful to the People if
paid to him while living, as it is siill not impossi-
ble that he may yet be sensible of their respect,
their esteem, and their affection.

We cannot conclude without expressing our
conviction that Ministers are incurring the dan-
ger of lessening the necessary strength of Gnvern-
rnent by too frequent concessions to a petulant,
orly, turbulent, overbearing, and narrow-minded
OPPOSITION, and we are persuaded, that such
is the opinion of all judicious Politicians, and
sound Patriots. throughout the United Kingdom.
