fit for all useful and practicable purposes. The Hon.
Member seemed to have arrived at a sort of candid
state of mind—(Laughter)—and he would certailf.y
appeal to him whenever he wanted an historiographer
of the by-gone Se, ion of Parliament— (Laughter).-r-1
He had given great credit to the Honourable Mem-
ber for Aberdeen, on account of the reform n hich
had taken place with respect to Receivers-General of
the Land Tax ; but he (the Marquis of Londonderrx)-
ruust here put in a little caveat, because this reform
was determined on by Ministers before the Honour-
able Member fbr Aberdeen submitted his motion to
the House—(A laugh).—With respect to the question
of &amps, he hoped the Honourable Member would
vie,. the conduct of Ministers, on that subject, with
the same satisfaction with which he looked at their
proceedings towards thelleceivers-General of the Land
Tax. The Honourable Gentleman had now found
out, that the two Addresses to the Crown which had
been proposed on a former night, were nearly equal
in their object; but he did not go so far as the Ho-'
nourable Member for Aberdeen, who, after due ie-
flection, had discovered that the Address suppoi ted
by Ministers was much better than his own!—(A
laugh).—lt appeared from this circumstance, that the
two sides of the House were at length coming to a
good understanding. The Honourable Member had,
however, complained on various occasions, that, not-
vithstanding his efforts and those of his friends, not
a shilling had been saved to the country. His con-
solation, under all his defeats, had been, that a great
deal would be effected in the next Session. He could
assure the Honourable Member, that Ministers felt a
most anxious desire to reduce the public expenditure
as much as they possibly could; and if the Honour-
able !Member and his friend,. came to the discussion
next Session with the same temper which they had
displayed that evening, it would certainly turn out a
far more agreeable Session than he had found the pre-
sett to be—(A
Mr. BROUGHA M said it must certainly give great
satisfaction to the Hoir-e, to learn that the reform in
Cie department of the Receivers-General of the Land
Tax had been determined on by Ministeri before the
Ho.i. Member for Aberdeen had introduced his motion.
It would have been well, however, if the Noble Lord
had taken the present opportunity to state what other
retrenchments he and his colleagues had in store—
( Hear, hear).—He ougbt to give to the historio-
grapher the materials by which he could prove to
future ages who was the great author of economical
reform in the present day—(Hear, hear).—The repeal
of the Agricultural Ilo: se Tax was the only point of
moment which his Hon. Friend (Mi. Creevey) had
omitted to notice. lie was rejoiced at the abandon-
ment of that tax, which produced £470,000 A-year,
because it was not to be supplied by other taxes, but
must be met by econ my and retrenchment—(Hear).
Sir ROBERT WILSON made a few observations
on the ensuing Coronation, and recommended an Act
of Grace.
Mr. BENNETT expressed a hope that next year
they might receive from his Majesty's Ministers the
fruits of their efforts to promote economy. The Ho-
nourable Gentleman then adverted to the approaching
Coronation, and complained that the People of Eng:
land were not to be piesent as a body, neither were
they to be present by their Representatives. He be-
lieved that in the time of Queen Anne, and in the
early period of the present Royal Family, arrange-
ments were made for the participation of the Com-
mons. He found from the prepa:ations, that well-
dressed Ladies and Gentlemen, with money in their
*pockets, might be admitted ; but the People would
see as little of it as he should at Many miles distance.
He found it was the intention of Ministers to assem-
ble a large body of troops in the neighbourhood.
Even the Yeomanry of the neighbouring Counties
were to be called in. What was the necessity for
this? One would suppose that this. Coronation was to
be not a scene of civil, but of military, pomp; a
Champ de Mars spectacle, and not the celebration of
a solemn covenant (as it was called) between the
King and his People. He had heard from an indi-
videal who had attended the last Coronation, that
there was on that occasion no such an assemblage of
troops. The appearance of such a force would create
a general feeling of disgust against a ceremony which
should be entirely of a pacific kind.
Mr. HUTCHINSON spoke in terms of approba-
tion of the attempts made to economize. He did not
think the liberties of England safe so long as the prin-
ciples which were in action on the Continent were
countenanced by this Government, and he hoped
that when they met next Session they would find the
Noble Lord prepared to say, not only that he had not
joined in the Declarations of the Foreign Sovereigns,
but that he had opposed them. He thought by form-
ing an alliance with France and Spain, we might
defy Russia and Austria, and even force them to keep
within bounds without an appeal to arms.
Sir R. FERGUSON did not wish to- disturb the
harmony of the House, but he must say, in allusion
to the retrenchments made and promised by the
Noble Lord, that they would never have taken place
had not the voice of the People forced it.
Mr. MONCK rose to complain of a great incon-
venience accruing to the people of the country for
the want of farthings. He hoped Government would
turn their attention to the subject of a new coinage
of that piece of money.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY. in rising to move that
the Douse at its rising adjourn till Tuesday next, begged to ob-
serve, what it might be agreeable for their Constituents to knew,
via. that upon an average the House had sat EIGHT HOURS and I
Foavar Mu.uxu daily, for every sitting day throughout the Ses-'
sion. Ibis was exclusive of the business done in the morning in
the Committees; so that whatever might be the opinion of Ho-
tourable 3lember:. opposite, or of persons out of doors, k we,
Main, that if the ilouse of Commons did no good, it was not for
want of labour—(!fear! an laughter).
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
Ucuse adjourned at Half-past One to Tuesday next.

A letter from Ilchester, dated July 1, says " Mel
labours of the Commissioners appointed to enquire'
into the regulations of IlchesterJatl, closed lastnight
at eight o clock, after thirty-eight days of incessant
tea. Mr. IltiNT was so ill for the last eight days,
that it was with difficulty he could attend.
