Sir G. WARRENDER moved that the House should go
into a Committee .if Supply.
Mr. TIERNEY did not know that any opposition was likely
to be offered to the Resolutions which the Honourable Baronet
had to propose; but he thought time might to be given for the
arrival of those Members, who might wish to speak on the sub-
ject, add that the House should not so soon go into the Committee.
Sir G. W ARREN DER certainly would not have proposed
that the (louse should go intb a Committee of Supply at that
early hour, if he had thought the Resolutions he had to move
wete at all likely to create a discussion. The fact was, however,
that he anticii,ited nothing of the kind, as he had only to pro-
pose a renewal of the former grants, and to move for a small
sum on account; leaving all that might create a diference of
opinion to stand over till after the holidays, by which time the
subject might be better considered.
The SPEAKER said, it had been arranged a few nights ago,
that the public business, in consequence of the peculiar situation
of the [louse in the present Session, should not commence till
lve o'clock. To-day there did not happen to be much private
business, but he did not think that it would be well to break
through the rule so recently made. If the Honourable Baronet
would withdraw his moticn for the present, there were some
Petitions to be presented, which could be received.
Sir G. WARRENDER consented to withdraw his motion
far the present.
Mr. BROUGHAM gave notice, that immediately after the
holidays a Learned Friend of his proposed to introduce a Bill,
into the House, to repeal certain Acts which stood in the way
of the removal of Pauper Children from the Metropolis to the.
County of De;ou.
Mr. JOHN SMITH expressed his hope that when the sub-
j.:a conic to be discussed, everything would be done to Gelb-
tat.: the object in view, as the removal of to great a burden as
the l'auper Children would be of the greatest advantage to the
Net ropulio
Mr. GRENTELL said he should, on Wednesday next,
move fur Accounts 'hewing the amount of Public Balances in
the hands of the Bank; and also for a Paper tending to strew
the amount of Money paid for what was called the Manage-
merit of she Public Debt.
On the motion of Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, the
House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. The Honour-
able Member then said, that as the Estimates for Naval Ser-
vice would shortly come before the House in a detailed form,
he should now only o'aserve, that in addition to other sums
which he had to propose, be should move for £500,000, on ac-
count, for the service of the year 1820.
The following sums were then agreed to, being for the sup-
port of 23,000 men, including 8,000 Matinee, fof thirteen lunar
months, commencing from the Ist of January, 1820:
For wages, at the rate of £2. 3s. 6d.

The /louse they. resumed, and the Chairman having reported
pr.nress, artained leave to sit again, and the Report was or-
:r.l to be received tc-marrow (this day).
PRoCEEDINGS AT MANCHESTER.
Mr. TiOnHOUSE, on the part of an Honourable Friend
V. 1., was absent (Sir Francis Burdett), wished to correct a mis-
m!:e r:lative to a notice of a motion which he had given on a
former night. It was stated to refer to the transactions at Old-
-1...m, whereas it was intended to refer to the occurrences which
teat place at Manchester on the 1611 t of Mamma. It was the
intention of his Honourable Friend to bring on the moticn on
ce early day after the holidays.
The SPIUK tbcn consulted the notice book, and found
the notice in question to refer to the transactions at Manchester
August last.
Mr. 1101S110USE then said, tha; he wished to fix the in°.
ti3r.for Thursday, the hth of June, sad It was appointed to
surest for that day accordingly.
CIVIL LIST.
Lcrd CASTLEREAGH rose to move that the
o:der °Lithe Day be read for the House to resolve
ksPlf into a Committee on the Civil List.
thrin question for the Speaker leaving the Chair,
.Nr. BENNETT objected to this Rill being pro-
ceee.e.l in till the House vras in posses ion of further
information. All the information the House had to
gc) on, was the report made in 1816 ; at which time
t: was said, the time for inquiry and investigation--
the d:rnise of the Crown—must soon arrive. That
time had arrived, and now the House was refused
every sc.rt of information, except whit was given in
1816. Under any circutatances, he should consider
the Civil List now proposed as too large ; but espy-
daily so under the ptcsent situation of the CObatry;

• .0*.r.44 •

but it wss sail, here was no addition to be proposed;.
true ; but did the House consider that the change in
our currency had made at least £5 per cent. dif-
ference to the Civil List, and that difference to its
advantage. The 'Noble Lord said, the Civil List
had worked well; true, it had worked well for them
and their friends who had governed the country for
the last fifty years; the names of persons had indeed
been changed, but the measures were the same. The
hand indeed was thehand of Esau, but the voice
was still the voice of Jacob. Having said thus much,
he should now wish to allude to the notice he had
given on a former night, for leave to bring in a 13111
to exclude persons receiving pensions for life from
seats in that House. He wished now to say, he
should extend that 8i11..t0 persons holding offices on
the Civil List. The Honourable Member then en-
tered into a view of the various payments made
out of the Civil List, by which it appeared that the
Crown paid in pensions no less a suns than £370,000
annually. It was said the splendour of the Crown
must be kept up, but on this occasion he could not
forget the sentiment, " that it was improper to see
misery so well dressed." The Crown ought not to
'be thus gorgeously arrayed, whilst the people were
in rags 1 The Honourable Member then adverted to
the opinion of Mr. Fox, as confirmed by Sir Fletcher
Norton, when Speaker, and afterwards by the late
Speaker, namely, that fu times of distress, the House
had not only the power to investigate the expendi-
ture of the Civil List, but if there was a misapplica-
tion discovered, also to resume the grant. Having
made these observations, he 'should not oppose the
Speaker leaving the Chair.
The Reuse then went into a Committee.
The Resolution fixing the sum for England was
agreed to. On 'the Aesolution for granting the sum
of £207,000 for Ireland, •
Sir J. NEWPORT objected to this sum 45 too
large. He also particolarly objected to the classifi-
cation for Ireland, and wished to revert to the clas-
sification of 1793. He should particularly object to
the additional grant of 100,000 a-year for the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland. He would not object to it
for the present Lord Lieutenant ; but, after him, he
trusted, if the office was not abolished altogether, the
£lO,OOO would be stopt.
Lord CASTLEREAGH defended this grant,which
was by no means equal to the expenses of the office;
on the contrary, a Noble Duke, now no more, had
so far embarrassed his own private fortune, when in
the office, that he was under the necessity of going
abroad to retrieve his affairs. He supposed the
Honourable Baronet only intended this as a notice,
and would take discussion hereafter.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT would take the discussion
at a later period, if that could be done ; but if it
could not, he must now call for the sense of the
House upon it.
Mr. C. GRANT contended that the allowance of
£30,000 was not much more than sufficient to sup-
port the dignity of the office. Indeed, unless the
greatest economy was used in the expenditure, the pre-
sent Noble personage who held the office, must lose
considerably by holding it.
Mr. TIERNEY could not understand how the
Lord Lieutenant could suffer in his private fortune:
Was it to be taken, that a Gentleman holding that
office was not to touch his own private fortune at all,
during the time he held the office? Was he to save
his fortune, and have his patronage besides ? It was
said, the allowance of £30,000 a-year was not suf-
ficient ; but he would ask, had there ever been any
difficulty in getting Lords Lieutenant at that rate?
He never heard that there had. On the contrary, he
had known instances of persons being very angry,
that they did not get the appointment, when it was
only £20,000 a-year. He thought inquiry and inves-
tigation into the sum necessary for the support of the
office of Lord Lieutenant ought to take place.
Sir H. PARNELL thought it was a question o
doubt, whether the office of Lord Lieutenant ought
not to be abolished altogether. Certainly the inte-
rests of the City of Dublin would not be affected by
such a step. Dublin depended for prosperity on
other circumstances. In taking into consideration
this office, it would appear that the £30,000 was
not the whole expense of the office; there was an
establishment attached to it, the expense of keeping
up the Vice-regal Palace and the Phenix Park, and
he believed the real charge of this office to the Pub-
lic was not less than £1 00,000 a-year.
Lord CASTLEREAGH submitted, that the whole
of the Civil List Establishment of Ireland had been
under the consideration of Parliament, and the re-
sult of that investigation was, that sinecure- places
to the amount of 70,0001. a-year, as they tell in and
became vacant, did not fall to the Crown, but re-
mained vacant, and their salaries went to the Conso-
lidated Fund. With respect to the necessity of the
office being kept up, he was of opinion it was most
essential to the public service, and to the safety of
Ireland that it should be kept up ; and the only ques-
tion was, as to the additional grant of 10,0001. a-year
to the person who held the office. Lord Hardwicke
had said, when he returned from Ireland, that some
addition should be made to the salary, or no Noble-
man of small fortune could accept it, but at the cer-
tainty of ruin, and he (Lord Castlereagh) must at
once protest against a doctrine which would confine
all office and all honour to the great Leviathan's of
fortune, to the exclusion of persons of moderate pro-
perty, let their talents be what they might, unless
they would take office at the certainty of making
beggars of themselves for life.
Mr. SHAW was convinced the Citizens of Dublin
were decidedly in favour of the allowance to the
Lord Lieutenant. The trifling sum given to the
Lord Lieutenant, if saved, would be saved at almost
the ruin of the City of Dublin. He was sorry to
hear any lash Member propose a paltry saving to
be purchased at such a price ; and he trusted it would
never be adopted.
Sir J. NEWPORT had no intention of applying
the reduction to the present Lord Lieutenant, to
whom, and the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary
for Ireland, the country were under great obliga-
tions; but, as the present Lord Lieutenant's Govern-
ment bad nearly expired, he suggested the propriety
of inquiry as to his successor's appointment and salary.
Mr. W. POLE said, investigation had taken place
during the Government of the late Duke of Rich-
lamond, unknown indeed to that Nobleman, when it
!appeared that his expenditure was £40,000. The
Lord Lieutenant had many duties to perform, be-
sides liviag in state. Lis LaZue was expected to be

....

found at the head of every public and private '
city. He was convinced the Gentry, and people of
Ireland too, would feel the abolition of the office as.'
a serious injury ; it would deprive the Nobility and
Gentry, always resident in Ireland, of the advan-
tages ofl Court,. and prove most injurious to trade.
He considered it one of the greatest absurdities that
could enter the mind of man, to think of depriving
Ireland of her Lord Lieutenant. It was never irr-
tended to make the salary of the Lord Lieutenant
equal to his expenses ; but to make it such as to in-
duce any man of high rank to accept the office with-
out running the hazard Of being ruined. No Arian
'could fill the office under £lO,OOO a year of his own
pm
Mr.
. TIERNEY denied that he had ever lent him-
self to the proposition.of abolishing the office of Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. The proposition came from
Irish and not from English Gentlemen.
Sir H. PARNELL said, there was certainly a
great difference between him and the Right Hon.
Gentleman, as to the abolition of the office of Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentleman
had resided long in the Castle of Dublin, where he
had heard nothing on that subject ; but the opinion
was very general in Ireland, that the office should
be abolished.

Mr. BARING said, nothing could be more absurd
than to say that no man of rank would accept offices
without large salaries. He wished to know
,why
10,0001. a-year should be given to a Governor of
the Cape of Good Hope—a salary twice as large as
that of any Governor of our other foreign posses-
sions. This proposition for the reduction of the
salary bf the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was well
worthy the consideration of the House in the present
distressed state of the country.
The other clauses were then agreed to; the Bill went through
the Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow.
—Adjourned.
