IMPRESSMENT 01 SWAIM
Mr. HUME moved, pursuant to notice, for leave to
bring in a Bill to femedy the defects of the naval sys-
tem,. with respect to Impressment. If he should be
akle to provide for the wants of the Navy, by volun-
tary enlistment, in place of that unconstitutional means
of supplying the service with men now resorted to, he
hoped it would be deemed he was conferring a real
benefit upon his country. He begged to state that he
had the concurrence of Naval Officers in the plan he
proposed to embody in his Bill, and he did not wish to
press his Bill, if allowed to bring it in, hastily through
the House. He thought that if volunteers were pro-
cured to fill the ranks of the Navy, a most important
a melio. ation would be the consequence. One great
cause of complaint in the sea service was, that men
were subject to be punished without a Court-Martial,
or any mode of inquiry whatever. There were thirty-
six Articles in the Naval Code of Laws. From Article
2 to 35, distinct offences were enumerated, and the
punishment poiated out ; but it was with Article 36
that he thought he had good reason to quarrel. That
Article provided that all other offences should be pu-
nished according to the practice and custom of the
service. Now this was so indefinite, that there could
be no protection whatever against the *use of the
law. 'What he wished was, that the sailor should be
placed in this respect upon the same footing as the sol-
dier, and every other individual in the community ; and
that as many offences as ros..ible should be defined,in
order that he might know what the law under which he
served was. He had been told that the sailor required to
be treated in a different manner from other individuals.
But he had not been able to find any reasonable ground
for such an opinion. He found different ships in the
same fleet, treated in respect of punishment aboard, in
a very different way; and the cause of this evidently
was, that there was no uniform system of law or disci-
pline, the discipline of each crew being left to the will
of the individual commander. He asked to hays the
British seaman placed in as good a situation as the
slave in the West Indies. By an existing law, no slave
could be punished till twenty-four hours had elapsed,
froM the commission of the offence, or the issuing of the
order. He wished the same regulation to be n ade with
reference to the British seaman. His condition on board
of ship was known to be very different from this; he
was tied up and flogged at the will of his Commander,
and often for the most trivial offence. The Honourable
Member proceeded to mentibn cases where severe dis-
cipline had been observed towards the crew. He need
mention but two cases, cne of which occurred twenty
years ago, and the other last year. The Hon. Member
then read from some papers an account of floggings on
board a ship on the passage to the East, in the year
1805, commanded by Captain Cockburn. One man
was star ed because his musket did not go off when he
pre-en•ed it, and one of the mates was also started, for
remarking upon the severity of the punishment. The
narrative dwelt upon the frecreacy of this mode of
punishment, which was giving the lash upon the spot,
without waiting for any inquiry or deliberation, and was
much practised in the Navy. The other case was one,
in wh,ch an officer had been superseded only last year,,
for severely and frequently punishing his men. This
case was well known at the Admiralty. Many other in-
stances of a similar nature could be adduced. In one
instance, out of a crew of 63, 59 had been punished.—
He should like to have a return of the number of pu-
nishments and the names of the ships and Captains
within a given period, and in that case he was sure it
would be seen hnw much the seamen in his Majesty's
service were subject to the caprice of their superiors.
The only reason that the Naval Members of that House
did not take up this matter was, he supposed, that
they were afr4id of offending the Admiralty. That
was the apology he offered tor taking the matter it!

'son to complain of the co:lrse taken upon this occasion
by the Hen. Mecnker for Aberdeen. *C-mtrary to the
usual courtesy of l'ArliAtnent, hehad come down to
the House pteptrrid to make charges ag.ilst him,
without having given him the slightest intimation of
his intention. Uader these circumstance;, he cer-
tainly felt himself tole in a very awkward condition,
Ott distaace of time, 1805, being so great that he could
not exercise that command over his memory which
should enable him to make so full an answer for his
conduct to the House as he, under the charges of
the H mourable NleLber, wished to do—(Hear, heat)
He perfectly well knew that the discipline of the Navy
tweet), years age was a very different thing to what it
was now. But about the time to which the Honourable

Member referred, those changes which had since been,
by a. progressive course, effected, were newly intro-
duced. And he very well remembered having given
orders to the Officers of his ship not to start the meri—
t/fear, hear). It was very well known that amongst
the subordinate Officers of a ship, the practice used to

be carried to a much greater extent than was now
tolerated: and in the very instance alluded to by the
Honourable Member, he had actually quarrelled with
one of his lieutenants for starting a man after he had
given orders to the contrary, and that Officer bad since
left the service—(Hear). This was all he was able to
say in answer to those ch urges wi'h which tl.e Honour-
able Member had taken him by surprise. If he 'would
bring them forward in a more specific shape, he would
be prepared with a more complete refota•ion. In the
arguments which the Honourable Member advanced in
support of his motion, he seemed to say that a pi efer-
ence was given to the merchant service over the Navy.
Now, in that he was misinfirmed ; for what seamen
would do for the merchant service at 545. they would
do for the Navy at Ms. It bad been already stated,
and he now repeated it, that the owners of merchant
vessels had made application to have the Officers of
the Navy restrained from taking the men when they
'offered themselves. Orders to this effect had in fact
been sent out to the different naval stations, and were
it not so, it was well known that merchant ships would
lose all ;lien. hands. This war quite notorious, and a
tolerable proof that there was not that 'distaste for the
service of the Navy which the Honourable Member
seemed to inculcate. Tne Honourable Member thought
that some pecuniary inducement ought to be held oat
to enlistment. The pension system, in his opinion,
I operated in that way. He had also drawn a compa-1
rison between the enlistments in the sea and land MP
vices in favour of the limited period of the latter. If
so happened that the enlistments in the Army were
mostly for life, whereas in the Navy it was not so, the
men being generally paid off at the end of a war. He
had also spoken of the arbitrary power of punishment
in the Navy, and said he wished to see the sailor';
put upon the same footing as the soldier. But the
fact here was the reverse of what he had stated.—
The system of punishment in the Army when in the
field, or in the execution of field movements, was much I
more arbitrary and severe than the Navy. Upon these
occasions, punishment was inflicted without delay or
trial of any sort; and he believed there were many
Members in the House who could bear him out from I
actual knowledge, when he stated that even during the
last war instances had occurred of men being hanged I,
in this manner. Yet their ships were differently situated
in this respect from the army. They went out upon a',
voyage round the world, and were sometimes absent
for three years. How then was it possible for them to
summon a Court Martial? And if luminary punish-
ment were not inflicted, either it must be foregone al-
together, or the men must be put in chains and kept in
that condition, perhaps for the remainder of the voyage.
The Hon. Member actually wished to take frcm the
'navy a power which was held to be legal by a Captain.
of a merchantman. By the newspapers of that day he
perceived a judgment in the Admiralty Court, in which
it was affirmed that the Captain of a merchantman did
possess the power of ordering his men to be flogged.
He had received many letters upon this subject, from
which, however, be did not mean to quote; but he
could state a case to the House in which an Officer as-
aired him that be had preserved his ship by a prompt
and exemplary punishment in presence ot the crews
When they were actually about to engage a very su-
perior force of the enemy. It had for some time been
the policy of the Admiralty to discourage corporal
punishment; but it would be destructive of all disci-
pline to deprive Officers of the Navy of such a power.
All that could be done in this respect, he was con.
winced was done. Those Officers were encouraged who
found the means-of keeping their men in order without
punishment ; and those who were thought to exceed in
this particular were put out of commission. They now
received very frequently'blank returns of the quarterly
punishment of ships. This being the improving state
of affairs, the Admiralty having set itself the task of
dispensieg with corporal punishment as far as was
practicaTt, the House, he was sure, would not in-
terfere to check their successful course, and pro-
bably destroy all they had done. It would have
31 dangerous, effect, he was convinced, to take
away altogether the power of punishment from the;
Officers of the Navy. It was one thing to take it.
away, another thing to modify it. With respect to:
the second case to which the Honourable Member
had referred, the case of Captain Jervoise, the punish-
ments in that case appearing to be' more frequent thaw
coincided with the wishes of the Admiralty, the Officer
was superseded. It was, however, his. duty to state,
in justice to that Officer, that his men had been fre
quently changed doting the period that these frequent
punishments had taken place, and that the/glom
the case appeared much stronger against him than
upon its real merits it deserved. It was also his
duty towards that Officer to state, that, facts had
since reached the Admiralty, chewing that his crew,
'when he joined the ship were in an excessive bad state;
it had in fact been made evident to the Admiralty, that
they were a most extraordinary bad ship's company.
He did not mean to say that the Admiralty Were not
justified in what they did, according to the circum.
stances of the case as they appeared. to them at the
time. At that time the last quitter's return. had, not
reached them, but when it did come, it appeated that
the punishments had almost entirely abated ; and it ap-
peered that when the CaptiOn left. the ship, he had
brought it into as. high a state of efficiency —and good
larder as any ship intis Majesty's they. He ought also
to state that the Admiral commanding on the station
shad been frequently applied to for a Cultic Martial, but
the rules of the service would not admit ot hii granting
one. Such was now the state of the Navy in this re-
spect that he believed be overstated when he said, that
six in a quarter for each ship was the. average of pn-
ni-hments. Ile thought the effect of the Hon.alember's
Bill would be to shake the foundations ot the Navy,

and that done, whit would become of the country ?
The-Hon. Member seemed to balk Rims op the Idelicol
a total abolition of impressment- wag the Prop
view of t!.e question. • If tht HoOse would allow the
Government to keep up a war complement ofuttamen
during peace, then the power of impressment would
not be necessary. But unless that were the case it was
obvious that Government. upon a sudden emergency.
when they wished to send ail their ships out to seitemust have the
means of laying their hands upon all seamen in the merchant ser-
vice. The Navy was now so much improving, that he had no hesi-
tation in saying that it was now, and would become still more so,
the favourite service. He thought it would be highly imprudent
to attempt to reorganize the Navy at the present moment. The
Hon. Member completely misinterpreted the 56th article of war.
Drunkenness was the most common offence for which panbhmeat
was administered, and that offence was made the subject of a se-
parate article. He did not believe complaints would be made
again, and he hoped the House would not interfere with the exist-
ing system. He concluded by giving the question a direct nega-
tive--(Hear, hear).
Sir I. COFFIN expressed his perfect willingness to vote on the
question without any fear of the Admiralty. He believed the mo-
tion to be very mischievous ; and, as the Hon. Mover was no sea-
man, he would say to him, Ne sister trlim erepidem—(Laughter).
111 r. ROBERTSON supported the motion, because be was eon.
vinced from his own experience, as an officer in the East India Com-
pany's service, that discipline could be maintained without flogging.
Nine cases of punishment out of ten, arose from the miscon-
duct of the officers. rather than from that of the men. The system
had been improved by enquiry ; why not enquire further?
Sir J. YORKE ridiculed the argument of the Hon.
'Member (Mr. Ro§ertson) that East India ships were as
well disciplined as those of the Navy. No flogging took
place in the Navy, except after a solemn examination of
the facts. Evidence was heard with as much gravity
as in a Court of Justice. He agreed in all that had. fallen from his
gallant Friend below him (Sir G. Cockburn) and should oppose
the motion. He repudiated the assertion, that all the want of dis-
cipline in the Navy arose from the faults of the Officers. It was a
gross calumny, as gross as the assertion that the sailors were free
from faults—(Hear).—Mr. ROBERTSON explained.
Sir F. BURDETT said, the motion of his Hon.
Friend was founded on the recommendatidns of many
writers of great weight and authority. If the sailors
were well paid and well treated, flogging would be
unnecessary.. During these plethoric times, when money
was so lavishly granted by the Government, there was
no reason why the sea service should not be somethir.g
better paid. The sailors endured hardships without
example, and deserved that the House should. adopt
some efficacious and just means to save them from the
evils of imprisonment and flogging. All that his Hon.
Friend (Mr. Hume) asked was, for leave to lay before.
the House a plan to mitigate all these evils ? No en-
quiry was necessary because the facts were known. A
great part of the evils in the Navy arose from the un-'
due discretion placed in the hands of young and inex-
perienced Officers. Flogging was to an honest gallant
English seaman a worse punishment than that of death.
Without absolutely doing away with this degrading
punishment, it was his desire to interpose between the
offence and the punishment some time for reflection.
Why not adopt the methods pursued in the Army, and
institute Courts Martial ? The fact stated by the Hon.
Member (Mr. Robertson) was important, that he was
able to regulate an undisciplined crew without flogging:
The House ought to inquire whether the same thing
could not be done in the Navy ? By offering proper
advantages, rewards and fair treatment to the seamen,
better men would bh obtained, and a less severe dis-
cipline would be necessary. The nation was quite rich
enough to allow some money to do away with this detestable home
slave trade. Such, motions as the present would do great goad,
even though- they were finally :ejected. lie was ready to Wilk
that the controul exercised over the officers of she Navy 'lllB
Admiralty, hid done much good ; bat the discussions in
had done quite as much. He trusted his Hon. Friend migit be
permitted, to lay his plan before the House. If it was bad, let it
be thrown out, but at all events let it be dheussed—(Hear).
Sir G: CLERK doubted- whether the case made out
by the Honourable Member (Mr. Hume) was so ex-
tremely satisfactory. Something more was necessary
before the House could consent to do away with the
long-established system of the Navy. The. notion of a
Court-Martial on board of a ship of war would be in.
convenient and inefficacious. At present the particu-
lar punishment in qoation was inflicted by the Captain,
on his own responsibility, and therefore it was less fre-
quently inflicted than it would be by a Court-Martial.
There were no instances of valuabli seamen being
flogged by beardless boys. No one had ever held
that corporal punishment was to be entirely abolished.
It was at presenk under a strict controls!, and that was
all that could be expected or desired.--Indeed, no die.
eipllne could be kept up on board s ship.of war except by corporal
punishment. The Captain.ought .to have' the power to inflict it,
altd he was obliged to make a return of every instance of it to the
Admiralty. As.to preventing impressment by raising wages, it
was quite ridiculous, for the commercial navy would always pay,
heavier wages than the war navy could. The ether parts of his
plan, to limit the duration of service-and to allow pensions,had been
already done by the Act of 1815. There was no ground for doing
anything more en these points. It would be very unfair. to take
away the Captain's share of the prise-money, as all prizes were
made under great responsibility. TM Hone ought not to tamper
with the system under which the Navy bad existed so long, and
covered itself with so mach glory.—(Hear).
Sir F. OMMANNEY rose amidst cries of It Question," and
expressed his dissent from the motion.—Mr. H.112d 11 briefly replied.
Mr. SYKES rose amidst cries of is Question." He said that:,
having lived ail his life near a seaport. he coed, from his. own'
knowledge, bear testimony to the horrors, cruelties, and evilsiof dor
impressment system. The practice was inhuman, brutalizing, and
detrimental to the interesttof the Navy.
The House then divided, and the numbers were—
.
nr the motion
Against it . . • 45

Majority against the motion —22
1118 W CHAHTER SCHOOLS.
Sir J. NEWPORT said,• that the question upon
which the motion stood, with which be meant to con-
clude, l;y within a narrow compass. The system upon
which, the Charter Schools in Ireland were founded,
violated.tverr principle of humanity and justice. It
had been his fate, for the last 25 years, to attempt to
bring about. some change in these institutions, but every
effort of his. only ended in evasion. Assurances of
amendment were held forth which were never realized.
lo far from the system being ameliorated, it was dete-
,forated. These schools Were originally founded on the
application of the Archbishops and. other Clergymen,
and it was acceded to by Parliament on the ground
that they were intended for the support and education
of the children of the. poor; but the Commissioners who
were appointed to inquire into the state of these schools,
reported that they were totallrinefficient for their object:
Tote first Charter School was founded in 1734, and upon
the supposition that they were intended for the professed
object. a Dutchman left 46,000/. to be appropriated to
their maintenance. A Mr. Thackeray was subsequently
appointed to inquire, and the result of his investigation.
was, that these schools afforded little satisfaction. The
report of Mr. Lee stated that they were vicious, and That
nothing good was to be obtained by them. The Hon.
Member then-proceeded to read a long extract from
this report, 'adverting to the enormities practised upon
the bays by the masters, particuhrly in Sligo. They
frtcpently seized the boys by the threat and almost
strangled them into suffocation. Some of Them inflicted

a hundred lashes. with a leather thong upon a boy itt
the same day, merely because he did not work a srm
in long division; others, for the same cause, flagella d
a boy, as the Commissioners stated, into a d eadial
state. Indeed, so bad was the system of educati.'n,
that the boys in many of these schools did not
know %el:ether Europe meant a man, a place, or a thiag.
In one of the schools founded upon the bequest of Use
late Bishop Pocock, out of thirty-six pupils,. thete
were only thirteen who could read, there were o .ly six
copybooks amongst them, the master was incapable
of teaching, and there was no usher. Afid this
would appear t`ie more remarkable, when he
formed the House that upon the same authority;
within two miles of this place there was a school
for the poor children of the paris`i, in which there
were ninety-six pupils, aU of whom could read ; and
near this again, so anxious were the poor people fcr
instruction, that a stable was convertei into a tell() 1-
room, and so crowded was the attendance, that the
young children were put into the manger. In one of
these charter schools, near Clonmel, the master was au
old cripple, who had only two children to instruct, and
not one book. Not only were cruelties practiced
upon the unfortunate children, but all complaints were
prevented by the Secretary refusing to present a me-
morial. In his charges against these schools, he did
not mean to include all the Clergy of Ireland ; he only
meant to include the Clergymen of those parishes in
which the schools were established, which amounted to
about thirty. The Hon. Member concluded with`
moving ,4 That an humble Address be presented to his
Majesty, expressive of their deep sense of the regret
and indignation with which they perused the Report of
the unwarrantable cruelties practised upon several chil-
dren of the charter schools in Ireland, as contained in
the representation of the Commissioneri of Education;
and praying that his Majesty be graciously pleased to direct that the
Law Oaten of the Crown institute criminal prosecutions,against
the authors and abettors of these dreadful outrages."
Mr. GOULBURN entirely concurrei ivikh the
sentiments of detestation of the acts charged agiinst
the masters of the charter school, whether they
were expressed in the resolution or in the si-eec 11
of the Honourable Baronet. He was. therefore, re-
lieved from the necessity of travelling through the
painful details which the Report contained. But he
was not free from difficulties arising as to the mode
in which the question ought to be presented to the
House. If the division turned upon the alternative,
whether he was to agree to the proposition of the
Honourable Baronet, or to concur with mischiefs
which had been stated, he would certainly choose the
lesser evil, and take the first alternative. But he sub-
mitted to the Honourable Baronet, whether the ends
of justice would not be satisfied by leaving the mat-
ter to those to whom the law gave the power, to t tke
what proceedings they might think fit; and if their
conduct should not appear satisfactory, then Parlia-
ment might b' called upon to interfere?' An oppor-
tunity had not yet been offered to the Government
to give effect to any views %shish the perusal of the
documents before them might have suggested ; nor of
holding communication with parties from *horn they
must look for the requisi:e information.. :In the gene-.
ral case, it was considered to be the most expedient,
when such questions occurred, to leave to the Execu-
tive the adoption of any criminal proieedings whieli,
under the circumstances, it might be proper to pursie;
'and still more so ought that course to be-followed in
ithe present instance, becAuse the Commissioners had
referred to a bulky Appendix, containing a great mass
of facts, without which the Report itself could not be
appreciated. He admitted that the Honourable Baro-
net had made out a case sufficient to justify Parlia-:
meat in agreeing to. the resolution ; and if that was
the general feeling, notwithstanding hit assurance
that the Government would bring the actors in the
transactions to punishment as far as they were ame-
nable to the law, he would not raise his voice against it
—(Hear, hear). It was not for him to offer any opi-
nion about the future system which ought to be adopted;
bin as the defects of the system were clearly'
set before the House, be had no doubt that the
recommendation of the Commissioners would be at-
tended to by the Noble Lord at the head of the Irish
Government at the earliest opportunity ; and that in
such a manner as equally to check the continuance
of the system, and to prevent the unhappy children
being thrown on the world without protection—(Hear),-
btr. S. RICE hoped his Right Honourable Friend'
would not withdraw his motion, as notwithstanding

the many valuable Reports already on the table, par-
ticularly the Fourteenth Report, expressly on the Char-
ter Schools, nothing had been done, owing solely to
the want.of some decisive step on the part of the
House. The Charter School system might be taken
as a specimen of the old exclusive Protestant system it
Ireland. In that light only were they supported'both,,
by the Irish Legislature and the Imperial Parliament
since the Union. The whole mischief, in short, of
these schools, arose from their exclusive character,
which rendered•them mere traps for Catholic dild ea,
and created the abuses with 'which they have always
abounded. Since the foundation of these Charter
Schools they had cost the country one million, and
subsequently to the Union no less than six hundred
thousand pounds. To shew that the religious purposes
of the schools were not attained, it was sufficient to
mention that in one-school none of the boys had ever
heard of St. Paul; two only had heard of the Patriarch_ 1,
Job: and with respect to their. geographical know-
ledge, scarcely any of them knew whether Europe was
a thing, .a place, or an individual ! He should,
therefore, on the proper occasion, move that in-
stead of granting the furthersum in the Estimate& of
this year to.the Charter School!, it should be voted to
the Government, for the general•objeets• of education.
Mr. GOULBURN explained.
Mr. Secretary PEEL denied that the inqpirr intothe
Charter Schools of Ireland was forcedion.the Govern-
ment. The moment it was proposed he cordially. cos--
curt-0 in the appointment of the Commission, and-the
individuals he (Mr: Peel) selected colic Members of it.

your of the Marines. They ought to have greater

'nd melt*, mule by the Report, be would net
trust himself to express tioViitin the result of
the Commission ; but it was not, therefore, to be sup-
posed that he did n t feel the indignation and disgust
which such abuses were so well calculated to excite.—
At the same time, he conceived that the peisons
charged with the offences he alluded to ought not to
be sent to trial with the stigma of a condemnatory re•
solutinn of the House of Commons on their conduct.—
The Right Honourable Secretary proceeded to read the
Address proposed by the Right Honourable Baronet
(Sir J. Newport), and argued, that as it characterized
the acts of individuals as it dreadful outrages," its
adoption would prejudge the guilt of the accused. All
be wished, in short, was, in case any Address should be
voted, that it did not presume what it undertook to
have determined. On the whole, however, it appeared
to him better, that as they had not yet the evidence
before them, on which the Report was founded, the
Right Honourable Baronet would allow the entire suh-
ject to be at once referred to the Attorney-General for
Ireland, to let him decide in what cases prosecutions
should be instituted—Wear, hear).—lf that course
were not likely to meet the sense of the House, then he
would suggest an alteration in the terms of the Address, to enable
him to support it-.(Hear).
Mr. F.-LEWIS described the course followed by the
Commissions and contended, that as a Itatement of the
facts, on the Report, had, in the first instance, been laid
berth* the Lord Lieutenant, and as the charges against
individuals had, in consequence, been investigated by
the Incorporated Society, which led to the dismival of
the most culpable of the delinquents, he thought,with the
prejudice thence formed against them, it would now be unjust to
send them to trial.
Mr. J. P. GRANT gave full credit to the feelings
which prompted the Honourable Member who had just
sat down, to recommend. the line of proceeding he did.
But were he not a Member of the Commission, lie was
certain he should come to a different decision. Next to
the horror which he felt at the attocities detailed in the
Report, was his surprise that they had been so long
allowed to be practised by the Government. He,
therefore, thought it incumbent on the House to manifest its opi-
nion of these abuses, by voting the present Address.
After a few observations from Mr. C. GRANT, Mr. J. 5311711,
Mr. F. Lewis, Mr. Grarran, and Mr. V. FITZOZRALD,
Sir J. NEWPORT assented to the alteration in the terms cif the
Address suggested by the Right Honourable Secretary ( Mr. Peel).
The Right Honourable Baronet sat down by moving that an Ad-
dress should be presented to his Majesty, praying him to direct the
Law Officers of the Crown to institute criminal proceedings against
such of the persons connected with the Charter Schools of Ireland
.as should be found amenable to law.
The Question was then put, and the Address agreed to.
DUKE OP CUMBERLAND'S ANNUITY.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished
that the Report on the Duke of Cumberland's Annuity
Bill should now be received, instead of proceeding with
the motion relative to Warehoused Cone
Mr. HUSKISSON assented to the course proposed.
Mr. BROUGHAM thought it would be most intern-
venient for the House at that late hour (eleven o'clock)
to enter on the subject of the Duke of Cumberland's
Grant. 'He saw no necessity for rushing forward with
-h in such precipitancy.
Mr. Secretary CANNING protested against the idea
of =the House being taken by surprise in bringing for-
d• the motion now—(Hear, hear). It had been
fixed for to-night as much, if not more for the conve-
nience •of [lon. Members on the opposite side, than for
• Those en his (Mr. Canning's) side of the House. He
silonkol that there was any Wish to hurry it through. the Parliament.
The question was then put on bringing up the Report, when
' MG•BROUG HA M rose and said, he should take the occasion
it that location of renewing his opposition to the Bill.
• ' • Mr. WARRE opposed the grant, -and moved the Report be
'brought up this day six months.
Before the House divided on this amendment.
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to ask the Right Hon. Gen-
eleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) if there were
any truth in the report,. that a part of St. James's Park
evas to be enclosed within Buckinghani Gardens?
There was a report that Constitution-hill was to be en.
serried, and a new toad made up the Green Park.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
• happy to have that opportunity, when the House was
full, of stating that there was no foundation whatever
for this report. It was not intended to make any en-
croachment whatever on the public part of the Park.—The House
then divided—
For the Amendment .
Against it •
Majority
When the Gallery was er-opened,
Mr. BROUGHAM expressed a hope that the discussion on the
third reading might be taken at as early hour. He thought it might
be brought on at five o'clock to-morrow (this day),in order that the
House might divide one hour after—(A laugh). He assured the
House be should persevere in his opposition to the last.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if any dis-
cussion should arise upon the neat stage of the Bill, he for one
should not protract it beyond the salutary limits proposed by the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman.
The Report was then recelved,and the Bill ordered to be read a
'third time to-morrow.
WAREHOUSED CORN, &C.
Mr. HUSKISSON observed, that an amendment in the late
Bill had, in the House of Lords, been ordered to be read that day
six months. The motives cf that House he had no right to examine,
but he was sure it could proceed from no jealousy of the importa-
tion of Canadian Corn. He should propose to introduce a Biil to I
allow a free importation of corn from Canada for the next two
years; and another to allow the sale of the corn warehoused in
this eodatry.
After a few words from Mr. Elam and Mr. Sv ac, leave was
then given to bring in the Bills, which were read a first stime.
BUCKINGHAM HOUSE.
The House went into a Committee on the Repairs of Buck-
Milt= House,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he had a proposition to submit to the House respecting
the repairs of Carlton Palace, which was so much out
of condition as to render it impossible for his Majesty
to reside there. Some of the rooms were in so ruinous
a condition, as to require to be propped up, wherein
large companies were essembled; and under these cir-
cunistanees it was deemed more advisable to have
Buckiogbam House accommodated to the purpose of a
Royal residence, than to have Carlton Palace repaired.
By this-arrangement, one benefit to the public would
at lessebe attained, namely, that a portion of the Pa.
lace could be devoted to the establishment of a
Na-
Clonal Gallery, and an additional room for the Royal
Academy; and the expense of the undertaking would
be in some defiree liquidated by the erection of new
houses on thelke of Carlton Palace; but as this was a
prospective gain, and as present money, was required,
his object was to introduce a Bill, authorising the,
application of a portion of the landed revenues of the
Crown to the repairs of Buckingham Palace.
?dr. ELLIC'g objected to more buildings on the site of Carlton
House, as thiatnpart of the town was already over-built.
•The'C FL ALCP.LL.L.O It of the EXCHEQUER said, that nothing
womb! be dons till the repairs of Buckingham House had been
completed.
Sir C. LANG-thought that Buckingliani House could be easily
converted iartra.residence worthy of the Sovereign.
The other Orders were then disposed oi, and at Osi tiCtece
the House adjourned.

- 7HE KING'S DR A WING-ROOM.
• Yesterd.l his MAJESTY held a Drauing•Room at
St. James's Palace, in celebrati a of his Birth day, on
which occasion the neighbetning crowded streets were
lined with Hone and Foot Guards (the former in their
'etirasses), and the whole of the Bands were on ditty.
Never, perhaps, was there a more splendid Drawing-
flown, although there might have been more numerous,
held within the,walls of this ancient Palace. Drawing-
Rooms are the chief occasions which exhibit the splen-
dour and magnificence of the Court of St. James's, as
well as the concentrated rank, fashion, and beauty of
the nation ; and the frequency with which they are held
are so many opp'‘rtunities aff:4-ded, not only,to stranger 41
but to those at home, who do not generally trouble
themselves about Court matters, of witnessing the
claim which the Court of St James's has to that high
character for elegance and splendour which it has
so long maintained amongst the Courts of Europe.'
Nor is it in this light alone that Drawing Rooms are
attended with advantage. There were not, perhaps,
many circumstances that tended more to heighten
the popularity of the reign of their late MAJESTIES,
than the freqUent opportunities which they gave,
by the number of their Court and Drawing Room
days, to the Nobility and Gentry of the land, to present
themselves in person before their SOVEREIGNI at the
same time affording to the lower classes what John
Bull very much likes to see occasionally, if he cannot
enjoy the wealth and splendour which his Sevcazion
and his country can put forth. There is no nation, we
believe, that holds a more filial affecti in towards its
Royal Family than the English ; and therefore it is
that John Butt is not satisfied, if he does not see
as well as know, that they enjoy all the mag-
nificence and state that he wishes them. Bat
in another and not a less interesting point of. view,
the frequency of Drawing Rooms is attended with very
beneficial effects—we allude to the stimulus which they
give to the trade and manufactures of the country.
Levees, however frequently held, have nO such good
effect, because the same sett of Court-dress will last a
careful man all his life ; and if, by way of variety, he
wishes for a change, he has only to step into the next
clothes sale-:hop and barter it for another; but on the
eve of a Drawing Room no such huxtering takes pla:e
—no Lady will appear the second time at Court in the
same dress, and on every occas'on of the sort a new one
is indispensable.
A variety of untoward circumstances have concurred
to prevent the frequency of Drawing Rooms since his
MAJESTY'S accession, amongst the least of which, we
regret to say, has not been the repeated and severe at-''
tacks of the gout to which his Meninx has unfortu-
nately been subjected, and which must, at all times,
have left it uncertain as to what precise period his MA-
JESTY would be able to undergo the fatigue of standing
during the length of time that Court etiquette, and his
own sense of elegant politeness, prescribed that he
should continue on his legs to receive his fair visitors.
Since the first announcement this season of the Royal
intention to hold a Drawing Room, on the 12th of May,
the female pait of the fashionable world has been all
alive with anxiety and desire each to excel the ether in
the splendour of her preparations for appearing before
her BOVERRIGN, and experiencing his gracious recogni-
tion of her at his Court, thereby qualifying her to pre-
fent herself, unrestrained by foreign ceremonies, at all
the other civilized Courts in the world.
The f2Sd of May was next fixed, but on the lOth of
that month a notice in the Gazette announced that the
Drawingßoom was further postponpd to the 9th of June.
The KING, however, at this period, took his departure
from town for Windsor ; whose I! forests" and. whose
4, green retreats" have been known, since his Mmyarrz
has favoured it with his occasional residence, to kaye
had a good effect in restoring him to his natural health,
vivacity, and social flow of spirits. , Hope was .once
more excited, and at each succeeding account of the
improvement of hisMAJASTY'S health was spread around,
the countenances of the fashionable world increased in
brightness, until the absence of any further postpone-
ment horn the Gazette of Tuesday last (for there was
dread until then), spread one blush of joy over the whole
world of female fashion.--Net were the expectations
entertained of the effect of Windsor air upon his MA-
JESTY in the least disappointed ; fir never, perhaps,
since his accession to the throne, did he appear better
enabled to undertake the tedious and fatiguing duties
of a Drawing Room than he did yesterday.
The various preparations internally for the splendid
scene were of the most grand and magnificent descrip-
tion, and the effect was increased by its being a Collar
Day, and all the rich uniforms and liveries being quite
new. Previous to the commencement of the Drawing
Room, the young Prince of CAMBRIDGE was introduced
to view the imposing scent, an seemed in ecstacy at
its splendour.
The Duke of YORK, Prince LEOPOLD, and the
Duchess of KENT came in State. The Duke of Yr IRK
was attended by Colonel COOK and *another Gentleman;
Prince LEOPOLD, by Sir ROBERT GARDINSR and Sir
HENRY &TON ; the Duchess of KENT, by Captain
CQURCY, General Werozazu., and the Baroness De
Seaziarn. On the arrival of their Royal Highnesses in
the Court. Yard the Bind played GOD save the Itirtp.
The Princess FEODORE accompanied her Royal Mo-
ther the Duchess of KENT.
The KING went to the Palace on Wednesday night,
where his MAJESTY slept in his private apartments con-
nected with the State Rooms, to be in readiness to kold
the Drawing-Room yesterday.
About half past one o'clock the Archbishop of CAN-
TERButty, the Archbishop of YORK, and a number of
Bishops, were admitted into the presence of the KING,
when the Archbishop Of CANTERIIIRY read a con-
gratulatory Address to his MAJESTY, which was most
graciously received.
His MAJESTY received his Royal Relatives in his.
Closet previous to the commencement of the Drawing'
Room. -In addition to those named were, the Duke
and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, the Princess AUGUSTA,
the Duke of BRUNSWICK, and the Prince WILLIAM of
Brunswick; the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers,
the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and
those who have the privilege of the entile. At this time
the Marchioness PALMELLA, Ambassadress from POR-
tugal, was presented by Mrs. CANNING, the Lady of
Mr. Secretary CANNING. Madame FALCK, the Ambas-
sadress from the Netherlands, was also presented by-
Mrs. CANNING. •
The.Kteo, after holding the privileged and Witt
Drawing-room, entered the Presence Chamber, attended
by his Great Officers of State, and other attendants.
Lard Chaves was the Lord in Waiting, and the Hon.
HENRY kis° was the Groom in Waiting. HIS MAJESTY
took his station in the c.ntre of the magnificent new
orte. The numerous and distioguis!ied assemblage,

Iyesterday, en'ered by the left door, and proceided by
the-left side of the room, ne=t the windows, and passed
the KING much - more oonveniently than they did la t
sear, when his al AJLITY, was in the recess of the third
window from the Throne, . The different branches of
the Royal Family took their stations near the ICING.
according to their rank. .Lord GRAVES then proceeded,
