Within the last hour the Market has been steady: the bud-
:Deis doing is chiefly among the Jobbers, and from realising the
purchases made yesterday, have produced a slight dedine ; but ,
the general expectation is, that a further and considerable r,..
proviment will take place. Two Millions of Money will in a
short time be brought into the Market, which will produce an
important improvement. Consols for Money, 74, and 79i 80,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, last night,
brought forward his Plan relative to the Army and
Navy Pensions. The principle formerly proposed,
that of extending the dead weight of the pensions,
as it is called, over a period of forty-Ave years, is still
adhered to ; and the only difference is in the mode

by which it is to be effected. Ministers having failed
in getting any chartered body or great capitalists to
become contractors, have determined to vest the pro-

- -.-
posed fixed Annuities of £2,800,000 for forty•five
years in the hands of Trustees, to be appointed by
Parliament; and that the said Annuity should be

charged upon the Consolidated Fund. The sum to
be providel for by the Trustees, will, in the first

year, be £3,900,000, and gradually be decreasing,
until, in the sixteenth year, it will be somewhat less
than the Annuity received, and in the forty-fifth
year be only £309,000.
In order to enable the Trustees to provide for the
excess of payments over the receipts for the first six-

teen years, they will be empowered to sell such por-
ticns of the Annuity as may be necessary for that

purpose, but so as that no greater amount of Annuity
should be sold or disposed of, in any one year, than
would be sufficient to raise the sums necessary to
complete the ►vhole of the payments to be made
within the year, or to discharge and pay off the prin-
cipal and interest of any Exchequer Bills which may
have been issued on account of such payments by the
Lords of the Treasury : these Exchequer Bilk, and
the interest upon them, to be charged and satisfied
by the said Trustees, out of any monies arising froM
the sale of the Annuities, or out of the dividends
thereof, Thus the Trustees have two modes of rais-

ing the money, either by the sale of Annuities, or by (,
isquing Exchequer Bills, whichever may be most con-
ve.nierit or most advantageous.
This plan, if adopted, will produce a present saving
of £2,200,000, of which £400,000 is to be reserved
as a Sinking Fund for new pensions, and the remain-
ing £1,800,030 is to be remitted in taxes. The prin-
cipal reduction is to be in the Salt Tax, which, in
England, is at present 15s. a bushel, and in Scotland
Gs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
to reduce the duty in both countries to 2s. per bushel,
‘4s. being the amount of the duty now payable in Ire-
land, which would be attended with the further ad-
vantage of equalizing the duty in both parts of the
'United Kingdom ; but to prevent inconvenience to
persons engaged in the trade, the reduction is not to
take effect until the sth ofJanual y next. The amount
of the tax thus reduced is estimated at I:1,300,000.
The next reduction proposed is half of the Leather
Tax, amounting to £300,000 a-year, which will place
the duty on the same footing as it was from the reign
of Queen ANNE to the year 1812, when the increase
of duty took place. The other reductions are the
Irish Window and Hearth Taxes, £250,000 a-year ;
and the repeal of the War Tonnage Duty, continued
. during the peace, amounting to £150,000, making a
total of £2,000,300. This is £200,000 more than
the proposed appropriation of savings in the Pensions,
but it is calculated .that the increased consumption of
salt and leather will cover a considerable portion of
this excess.

This Plan produced considerable discussion in the
Mouse: the principal point of debate 'was_as to the.
policy of resorting to the Sinking Fund for the defi-
ciency of the Pensions for the first fifteen years, in-
stead of the new and complicated machinery by which
it was proposed to be raised. Mr. Hums moved an
Amendment to this effect, which was negatived.

Of the relief afforded by the remission Of the Taxes
there can be but one opinion; the reduction of the
on Salt must be felt by every individual in the
Igdom ; the abolishing of the odious impost on the
indows and Hearths in Ireland, must also be a
benefit to that country ; and we trust that some
means will be adopted for ensuring to the Public the
ivantage of the reduction of the Tax on Leather ;
is too often the case, that although the con-
is the first to feel the oppression of a new Tax,

. •
I, he is the last ao.benefit by
I of one already established.

The Prince and Princess of DENMARK visited t.

preparations were made for their reception.
HIS MAJESTY'S PARTY TO RECEIVE 111 E PRINCE
AND PRINCESS Or DENMARK —Every rarity and deli-
cacy was provided at the dinner for the entertainment
of the Royal strangers, on. Thursday evening. The
splendid and magniticert gold and sifter state service
was used upon the occasion ; the second course was
served up on the former, and the whole of the pre-
parations were as superb as any that have been given
by his MAJESTY for a considerable time. The whole
of the state rooms were set apart for the evening
party, with the exception of the grand drawing-room,
set apart for the dinner party, and the room leading
to it. They were brilliantly illuminated with wax
lights, and tastefully decorated with growing plants
and blown flowers, from tht: Royal gat dens of Ken-
sington and Kew. A little before ten o'clock a de-
tachment of the Royal Horse Guards arrived in Pall-
mall, to regulate the carriages of those who had the
honour of being invited to their Sovereign's party.
Townsend, Sayer, and a numerous assemblage of the
Bow-street officers and patrol were in attendance, to
preserve order. The private entrance, opened on
Levee and other public days, was opened on this oc-
casion, for the reception of chairs h•zia the Palace-
yard. The company began to arrive a little before
ten o'clock, and were conducted by the Pages in
Waiting across the grand hall, through the octagon
hall, to the state apartments, the same way as those
who have the privilege of the entro on Levee days.
The band pla)ei occasionally, as the company ar-
rived, who appeared all in full Court Messes.
—His MAJESTY was dressed in a Field Marshal's
uniform, wearing several foreign Orders, with which
lie has been invested, in compliment to the Royal
strangers, including that of the Danish Orders, and
the ribbon, which we understand is of the Elephant.
The Duchess of K ENT, attended by Gen. -WETHERELL,
and the Baroness de SPA EDTH, was among the first
who arrived. The Doke of DEVONSHIRE also arrived
early, and after making his obeisance to his MAJESTY,
left the Royal Palace, having a numerous party to
entertain at Devonshire House. The company were
supplied with a profusion of choice fruit and confec-
tionery, by the Royal Pages, and other attendants, in
the octagon room. Card-tables were provided for
the company, but they did not appear* to have any
attracticn. At 12 o'clock. the Prince and Princeis
cf DENMARK took leave of'his MAJESTY, and left the
Palace ; they were again saluted by the band of the
First Regiment of Foot Guards, with our loyal Na-
tional AntheM, Cop save the King. The Princess Au-
cvsrA 3010 the Duchess of KENT followed directly
after, and the general company departed as soon as
the carriages could be brought up.
