se. and 6s. per week ; and that the first object was to con-
sider those who were to pay, and hew much they could pay.
Mr. Hun spoke IN the -yellow stockings and badges
which rifle* peapirs are required to wear ; and insinsated
that Soot paupers ought to be distinguished in like man-
ner ; vied he argued with great energy and severity, on the
disgrace of such pauperism in the finalise of proud, and
even wealthy, Peers ; who, be contended, were bound, on
general principles, to support their own poor relations.
Sir Basalt PAIL/ism. expressed his decided disapproba-
tion of the amounts proposed ; but for the arguments on both
sides we must refer to the debates.

The Ministerial Schema is as ander:—
The King's Privy Purse .. • •
The Qtens's

.000,000
• • .. 00,000

Beltri:uk of peat Aims of the Houselteld ... ... 130,300
Expenses of Household .. • • ... 210,000

Bound.. and Charities . .. ... .. 23.1911
halloos, bat to be reduced by deaths to 75,0001.... 1541,175

The other 460,0001. formerly mingled with the Civil
Lies accounts, for Diplomacy, Judges, dec. is to be se-
parately provided for, under the controul of Parliament.

The whole is referred to a Select Committee ; but in the
House, chagrin was visible among the friends of ministers,
and great exultation among their opponents.
A Select Committee was appointed in regard to the East
India Charter on the motion of MT. CHARLES GRANT ; and
Mr. Hui? gave notice of a motion for TUESDAY, in which
the whole nation will cordially sympathise, to address the
Crown to grant a GENERAL AMNESTY to the labourers,,

&c. who were lately goaded by distress to break the public
peace.

We eannot close this mammary of what has occurred in
Parliament, without congratulating the public on the fresh
evidence which our present Mon aucn has afforded his
people, of his considerate attention to the necessities of their
present situation, by voluntarily relinquishing a large sum,
which, on former acemisions to the throne, had been
granted as contingent expenses of the Queue—
amounting, on those occasions, to no less a sum than
£54,000. Such a sacrifice on the put of his MAJESTY,
is but in character with all his acts, since he came to the
throne ; and it is cheering, amidst many subjects of com-
plaint, to reflect that it ii not on the part of our Monarch,
that a patriotic spirit of retrenchment is wanted.

CITY, ON3 O'CLOCZ

Owing to the boisterous weather last night, we are with-
out any arrivals : not even a single ship letter has come to
band.

The public are anxiously looking to the debates of last
night in the House of Commons, and found themselves
greatly disappointed in regard to the new adoption of the civil
list, in which there will only be a saving of 20,0001 per
annum. Mr. Hunt's speech, relating to the above object,
is in general admired for its plain truth, humanity, and
sound logic.
In the Funds little or nothing is doing at present. Con-
sols, which left off yesterday at 8011 for the account, opened
at the same price, went up to 801 buyers, and are now 8041.
The Foreign Market is void of interest.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

To the present hour we are without information of any
description, no doubt owing to the strong prevailing winds.
This day being appointed for the choice of a King for
Belgium, we may expect to hear the particulars and the
choice on Monday, which is anxiously looked for by the
public.
Consols have been during the most part of the morning
at 8016 for the account and same for money, with scarce
any business doing. Not a feature in the Foreign Market
worth observation.
