the purchase of fresh. horses was all that had been
charged in the Estimites.,
Mr. BENNET suggested to the Noble Lord-the
P •
pro, of removing the most intolerable nuisance
• -
of the Life and Horse Guards Ewing alloy/echo eier-
cise in the Par ks, to the great disturbance of persons
riding these, and of those who lived within sacra* of
their fire-arms—(Hear).
The Resolution was then agreed to.
On the Resolution fOr a Vote of Supply for Public'
Departments,
Mr. HUME said, he thought the whole Establish-
ment for the Audit of Old Accounts ought to be-put
an end to, the only-effect of it being to give vexation
to the persons on whom it operated. If Government
ILA been negligent in passing public accounts, it was
7,0 t fair to individuals to bring them in debtors after
a lapse of upwards of twenty years.
Mr. T. WILSON concurted in the view taken by
the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, as to the un-
fair and vexatious operation of this mode of doing
Dtiblic business.
• Lord PA LM ERSTON could only assure the House
that great progress had been made in examining the
Accounts in arrears. He admitted the hardship
pointed out by the Hon. Member who had spoken,
and it was in consideration of that that he had ab-

stained from that rigour which marked the exami•
ration of accounts of the present day. Thus, where
.

an accountant was found to admit that he had a
balance in hand, there could be no reason for not in.
forming the claimant. Where also a charge was
mak, obviously with a view to fraud, the means of
recovering it were not relaxed. But in other cases
the same severity was not observed. As to the ex-
pense of the department, it cost last year 8,0001 and
had recovered public money to the amount of 60,0001.
—(Near).—The defalcations discovered in the Ac-
counts of Agents were deducted from the issues due
to them for the year in which the balances against
them were struck. In this way 45,0004 had been

1 recovered, and 15,0001. in addition bad actually been
paid into the Bank of England. He anticipated an
early termination to the labours of this office ; but in
the meantime the House would see that the public
had no cause of complaint against it—(Hear).
On the Resolution for a Vote for the Irish Vo-
lunteer Corps,
Mr. HUNIF. renewed his objections to the continu-
ance of the Yeomanry system in Ireland. It was ad-
mitted that the majority of these corps were Orange-
men, and surely the Government would not encourage
the maintenance of a body who were bound by oaths
to a cause inconsistent with the present policy of the
administration of affairs in that country. Many of
these corps, comprising in all, he believed, upwards
of 30,000 men, would not allow a Catholic to enter
them, and thus it was that, instead of maintaining
• the peace, they were the first disturbers of it—(llcar,
. hurl ).—He heard the cheers of Honourable Members,
Ipit he asked some .of them who cried « Hear!" whe-
ther they did nut know what he said to be true—
whether they did not know instances in which the
Yeomanry Corps had been regarded as the instigators
of disorder? The Hon. Member here made some
allusion to the Londonderry Corps of Yeomanry, and
a,,ked the Attorney-General for Ireland, Whether these.

;nen had not treated him, in effigy, with every indig-
nity,
on account of his acting in a manner which
marked his hostility towards Orange principles? He
beiieved they were more opposed to the Government
than not—and he asked whether this was a fit state_
of things in which these men ought to be allowed
to have arms in their hands? He knew the uti
lity of these Corps of Yeomanry when they were
first embodied; but the time was passed for that,
and they ought no longer to be encouraged.—
He took that opportunity of saying, that he had been
mistaken relative to a motion he had given notice. of
for the 30th April. It :had been supposed from that
notice that he wished to remove the Marquis Wel-
lesley ft om Ireland.: hisintention, however, was quite
the reverse, and he hoped he would long remain
there. His object was to have certain regulations
made relative to the Noble Marquis's successor,
whomsoever he might be. Now with regard to these
Yeomanry Corps, he hoped, his Majesty's Govern-
ment would let the Bill with respect to them expire,
and for that purpose he should propose an Amend-
ment, which would go to cut off their supplies from
.June next, at which period the Bill naturally ex-
pired. He was sorry the late Secretary for Ireland
was not in the House, for he was sure they would
have heard from him that he was adverse to those
Corps, composed of Orangemen. The Honourable
111,:mher concluded by moving, that instead of
19,384/. the vote lie 9,6921.
The question having been put,
Sir JOHN BRYDGES said, he did not know the
source from which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen
derived his information respecting the Irish Yeo-
manry Corps; but let that source be what it might,
he would take the liberty to tell him that his infor-
mation was incorrect—(Hear).—During the whole of
the late Rebellion, he (Sir John Brydges) had had the
honour to serve in Ireland, and to have several Yeo-
manry Corps under his command, and he was bound
to declare that no part of his Majesty's forces per-
formed their duty with more zeal and energy than
those corps—(Hear, hear).--He had also an oppor-
tunity of knowing that since the period to which be
referred, the conduct of the Yeomanry had. been
exactly the same as before. The Hon. Member was
quite mistaken in suppoing that the only qualifica-
tion necessary to obtain admission into a Yeomanry
Corps was to be an Orangeman. He (Sir John
brydges) knew of no other qualification than loyalty
and good conduct—(Hear,hear).—lle supposed that',
the Hon. Member proposed his amendment upon
economical grounds. If that were his motive, he be-
lieved that the Hon. Member would And himself
mistaken. There was no species of military force se
Constitutional, and at the same time so economical,
as the Yeomanry Ccrps---(Hear, hear).
Sir G. HILL rose to rescue the Londonderry Carps
Ul Yeomanry from the aspersions which had been
cast upon them by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen.
That Hen. Member had stated distinctly that the
Londonderry Yeomanry had been created only fort
the purpose of exciting disturbances. He ,requested:
that the Hon. Member would have the candour-10

Sir GEORGE HII4L—" Then I. desire to know
What words he did user—He maintained, that when
an Honourable Member aspersed a body of men sol
valuable as the Yeomanry had proved themselves,
commanded by the honourable men of the hold, and
filled by respectable farmers and others, it was :his
duty to give up the source of his information.' He
thought he was bound to do that, and not to leave it
upon the mere assertion of the Hon.. Member for
Aberdeen that such was the fact. The Hon. Baro-
net proceeded to enter into a defence of the Yeomanry
Corps. There were, he stated, three provinces of
Ireland, proved to be sworn to the overthrow of the
Laws and Government, and the extirpation of all
Protestants; and these provinces were chiefly pro-
tected by the Yeomanry—and this was the Opportu-
nity taken to malign these bodies., The Hon. Meth-
ber, in particular, had attacked his (Sir George Hill's)
Corps, the Londonderry Yeomanry : and he must
say, that be suspected the quarter whence it origi-
nated. But to give the House an idea of the justice
of the charge, he would state how they had of late
been engaged. On the 2-ith of October, three hun-
dred of them were put upon permanent duty, thus
setting free one of the best regiments of the line to
go elsewhere. They had done garrison duty in the city
and liberties of Londonderry till the month olJune List
year, and during the whole of that period not one
complaint was made against any one individual.
The 18th December was the Anniversary of raising
I the siege of the town, and had always been cele-d
bratcd, and always with perfect unanimity; but be-
cause these individuals had got arms in their hands,
the celebration of an event so dear to the citizens • of
Londonderry was abandoned—(Hear, hear).—Ano-
ther Honourable Member and himself had .been to
Dublin, drawn there by his Majesty's presence, rind
returned to Londonderry on the 22d, when two or
three hundred persons assembled round his hou'se to
welcome his return ; having done which, they peace-
fully separated. Upon this trifling incident a com-
plaint was transmitted to the Irish Government, that
the Commanding Officer and Corps of Londonderry
Yeomanry had violated. the recommendation of his
Majesty, by assembling in arms for the purposes of
triumph and celebration. The complaint was -re-
ferred to the Brigade Major of the district, and an
inquiry, occupying five days only, served to prove
that not one of the Corps was in arms ; not even
the band which attended with music—(Hear).—
It was true it had been shewn that the tunes they
played were 4 i The Battle of the Boyne." " Croppier,
lie Down," and " GOD save the King."—(Hear, hear).
The Yeomanry of Ireland, he assured the House, not
' only deserved, but required their confidence, in the
present situation of that country. Rebellion there wal
going on at this hour, and it was really impossible that
human nature could bear to hear, night after night,
the aspersions that had been cast upon them. He
‘%ished not to transgress the wise rules of that House,
but he desired to make a declaration, which he made
on the honour of a Gentleman. This was, that he had
been brought up in the principles called Orange prih-
ciples, and should continue in them to the day of his.
death. He declared, upon his honour, he was not an
Orangeman, neither bound by oath nor association to
those bodies. Neither did he know one Gentleman
whom he visited, in his part of the county, who-was
an Orangeman. That combination was mostly to be
found amongst the farmers, who; impelled by the first
principles of human nature—those of self-preserva- ,
tion—had first thought of thus associating for the sake'
of protection, and nothing else. But persons of his
rank in life did not feel the necessity of such a com-
bination, and therefore never thought of joining in it.
With regard to the projected Bill on this subject, he
begged to say, that as part of the law of the land it
was good and necessary. With regard to secret so-
cieties, and secret oaths, .he was not one who upheld
them.' What was required in the present times, be
considered, was ultra-loyalty.
Mr. SPRING RICE was of opinion, that if good
were to be derived from these discussions, or concord
promoted, they must be conducted with good temper
—( I kar, hear).—He protested against the principle
of Orange bodies. He knew that some of the best
and most honourable men belonged to them, whose
good intentions were checked by party ties. He ap-
plied this both to sworn Orangemen, and to those
who, like the Honourable Member opposite (Sir G.
Hill), had taken the infection in the natural way.—
(A laugh).—He was opposed to those who were for
throwing overboard the oath of the Orangeman and
the forms of Orangeism, but for preserving and che-
rishing the
.glory, the triumph, and spirit of the
party. He was sorry to have heard the declaration ,
of the Honourable Meniber'opposite of his determined
adherence to this party-spirit, as he thought it was
calculated to do anything but good on the other side
of the water. With regard to the Yeomanry, many, he
believed, were not Orangemen,' but the corps were
becoming more and more so. In the South of Ire-
land, Orange Lodges had first been instituted by a
set of Policemen, and had ever since been extending,
their baneful influence to all the:constituted authorities,
and to every institution.
,
Mr. DA'WSON regretted that the tone of his Hon.
Friend (Mr. S. Rice) in some parts did not savour of
that conciliation which he
.professed. He regretted
to hear from the Hon. Gentleman the-assertion that
the Police establishments in tire south of Ireland were
a great cause of promining 'Orange Restitutions, and
that the spirit or these perti4ded -so great a portion,
of the local authorities. Now, he would refer the
Hon,-Member to the town of. Bandon; in the County'
of Cork, which might be called the very focus of
Oraugeism.in that•pan bittreUtustry. It was well

was rather too hard, that a Member not connected

naseet. The Hon. Member Ttiriltnerick, who was
adqUaintedrwishthe country, did ant make sorb an
:assertion, because he knew it:woulJ be unfounded.
The Hon. Member then proceeded to shim. bat in
six, Counties of the north of Ireland which he. named,
whet the number of Yeomanry corps was Veil, great,
the tranquillity of the country was best prestried ;
while in the six Counties of the south, where the num-
ber of-corps was comparatively small, there had beat,
the greatest disorders ; the greatest anarchy prevailed
among a great portion of the lower classes, who
thewed'neither fear of GOD nor respect for man—
(Hear). He did not say that this should be a reason
at the present moment fur increasing the number of
those corps in the south;, for he believed, such was
the desire to possess arms by the deluded followers
of " Captain Rock," that a residence fn some of those
Counties would not be very safe if the quantities'of
arms were increased.

Mr. S. RICE explained. He meant no reflection on
the north of Ireland,Toevrhich he had so higha respect.
Sit J. NEWPORT repelled the sweeping calum-
nies on the south of Ireland, where it was said that
the people had no regard for either GoD or man. He
took it upon him to say that a local force of Yeoman-
ry, though perfectly well suited to England, was en-
tirely unsuited to Ireland ; because into the Yeoman-
ry Corps of Ireland were carried all the bad and con-
flicting passions which agitated and divided the
people of • that country. As to the rebellion in Ire-
land, there was much to blame on both sides; but in
GOD'S name, after 20 years had gone by, it was time
to put an end to all reflections on that score.—His
wish was to conciliate; and that all should agree in
acting according to that admirable Letter—that be-
quest—which his Majesty left to li eland. . He in-
sisted, the time when the laws were most revered
WAS when the Volunteer Corps of Ireland were in com-
plete 'activity. Then they mixed in society without
acrimony or bad feeling. _ Then they thought of no
distinctions between Protestant and Catholic ; but
felt that they were all Irishmen. Would to Goo they
could e eturn to that, and give up all asperity of spirit.
Ms . DAWSON explained. His expressions of the
population of Ireland not fearing GOD, or respecting
man, s ere confined to those who appeared in arms
against the State and the Country.
Mr. PLUNKETT had been appealed to, whether
he did not know officially that the Yeomanry had
misconducted themselves. He distinctly said, that
he knew of no such thing, though he was far from
saying that, in so numerous a body, individual in-
stances of misconduct had not taken place. If they
had, be was sure they were dealt with according ro
law. He regretted that more of the Catholics of the
North of Ireland were not in the Yeomanry Corrs of
that country. It was at his house, in 1796, that the
first proposition was drawn up to the Government
for the formation of Yeomanry Corps. The Catho-
lics were not at first engaged in the Rebellion, which
was first set on foot by the Presbyterians of the
-North of Ireland; and when. the Catholics wished
to join the. Yeomanry Corps of Dublin, they were
refused admission into all but the Lawyers' Corps.
He denied that the Ribbonrnen were incorporated
to exterminate the Protestant Religion, but to rise
against the Government, separate from this country,
or join with the Radicals of England—(Hear).—
Besides, the Orange Associations existed long before
thee Ribbonmen, and therefore could not have been
produced from them as a matter of self-preservation.
He (Mr. Plunkett) entertained a confident hope that
societies would soon be put down, which were known
by the name of ,Ribbonmen. He also believed that
the greater part of the Orangemen wished, if they
could with honour, tOretire from them, and there-
fore he regretted that any harsh terms should be ap-
plied to them. Their wish was to protect the Crown
and the Constitution, but they would not allow. the
Catholics to associate with them. What conclusion,
was drawn from that? Why, that the Catholics were
unworthy of being allowed the honour to join in such
honourable
.and highly praiseworthy pursuits ; and
was it strange if counter-associations were entered
into by the Catholics? .
General HART never knew any exclusion of the
Catholics from the Yeomanry Corps.
Mr. BUTTERWORTH had received letters from
the South of Ireland, stating that the Protestant pea-
santry was in the utmost, danger from their Catholic
neighbours. He was therefore quiteaverie to dimi-
2•ishing the numbers of the Yeomanry in Ireland.
Mr. GRATTAN contended, that although in the
North of Ireland they had manufactures to keep the
people employed and peaceable, yet the machinations
which had disturbed Ireland had commenced in the
North. He belonged to a Yeomanry Corps, the mem-
bess of which were Catholics and Protestants, yet no
men could conduct themselves with more propriety.
Mr.GOULBURN called the attention of the House
to the real question before them, which was, would
they or could they not diminish the numbers of the
yeomanry in Ireland? Nothing had been urged in
favour of the proposition by the Hon. Gentleman or
,those who had followed him, but these two argu-
ments, that there were persons in the Yeomanry who
were Orangemen, and therefore the Yeomanry ought
to be reduced, or that being friendly to conciliation,l
those who had spoken wished the Yeomanry to be
discharged. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen would
discharge the whole of the Yeomanry corps because'
Orangemen were in them, and because from some of
them Catholics were excluded: He called the House
to bear in mind the services which those et:Os had
tendered. He would not look back to' the peelod of
179 g, as tie agreed with the Right illinAltitonet,
that it were better to drop the veil overithe events
that day; but he begged to remind them of their
services within ,the last few years, and these remem-
bered, it would be bad policy to dismiss. them, and
be therifore thought the House could have no dia.-
eultY in resisting the amendment.. - . ' --. • -

Mr. C. HUTCHINSON rose merely to bear W.it-

course of the debate, that in the volunteer regiments
of Cork and Clonmel the majority was composed of
Catholics. In the year /798 they had shewn quite as
much readiness to enrol themselves as the Proiestarits.
Mr. HUME withdrew his amendment, and the
original resolution was carried.
When the clerk, in reading the resolutions, came
to that of £11,889 for the Military Co/kge,
Mr. HUME objected to the annual e4ense of the
establishment, and went into some detail's, to she*
that no adequate benefit was derived from' it. He
proposed an Amendment, deducting from the vane
1.3,300, in -order that the office either of Governor or
Deputy Governor might be abolished, and only two
. Captains paid instead of four, as at present.
Lord PALMERSTON contended, that it an insti-
tution of the kind were necessary, which was not
denied, it could not exist at less charge to the ptiblic.
He argued that the office olGovernor was no sinecure.
Colonel DAVIES, having been educated at the
College, was able to bear testimony to the needless
expense of the establishment. There were no less
than 68 persons, in various capacities, paid to educate
190 young men. •
Sir A. HOPE, having filled the office of Governor
of the College, was in a situation to declare that thle
office of Governor was by no means a sinecure; .hrs
duties were anxious and laborious.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—

Mr....nUME- mated to redifte the giant from

The Amendment was negatived without a division.
The other ilesolutipns were, then agreed to, and
Bills ordered tO'be brought in.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
the law had provided for those receivingparish rev

cate from their Clergyman that they Were nnatilie td

exemption. The number of exemptions amounted

Mr. Alderman WOOD expressed a hope,:thati-thei

Mr. BRIGHT was of opinion, that it would. lei

and take off the Tax alluded to. The House di-
vided :—For Mr. Curwen's Motion, 34; Against it, 8t
The House then went into the Committee.
The• CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained
some alteritions which he proposed in the pan relating to com-
position for the Assessed Taxes, and also with regard to the Ta
on Warehousemen.
-Mr.. CURWEN complained of that part of the alteration
which went to exempt the Scottish peasantry from the tar, they
having, in his opinion, infinitely less claim than the English.
Mr. WETHERELL rose to complain of ahardship to which
the miusbeis of the Universities were subjected in the matter or
their hones. If there were ten Fellows who had a horse a pint%
