-B le Gentle man disapproved of a statue to
the late Cardinal of York, on the ground that the
Stuarts bed opposed public liberty. Public- writers,
sold particularly Mr. Home, the historian, had made
peottiaeo on that subject,, whir,b were not true. The
Stuarts made inroads on public liberty, which he was
soft the House of Brunswick would never make.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH shortly replied. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer, he contended, had ad-
mitted all his premises, while he inconsistently refused
to accede to his conclusions t he had moved the pre.
/ions question okrosolutions which he had neverthe-
led gam the full length of admitting. His (Sir J.
blukintosh's) wish, on the other hand,' was, that the
doctrines which had been asseostd to should be em.
bodied is the journals of the House, that they might'
operate as a satisfactory testimony in all time coming,
that is matters of this sort the Crown acts only as a
steward,for the country.
The several Resolutions were then put from the
dart' , and the previous question carried, without a
division upon each of them respectively.

GRUNWICH HOSPITAL ESTATES.
Sir C. MONCK rose to call the attention of the
Noose to what he conceived to be abuses in the ma-
nagement of the Estates of Greenwich Hospital.—
Large aims had been expended in building and re-
pairing farns.houses ; and from his calculation, it ap-
peared that nine thousand pounds had been misapplied
in the courseof eight years. One of the two Direc-
tors, he said, wa► considered useless; and on the *hole
it was a subject which demanded legislative inquiry.
The Honourable Member concluded by moving—
er That a Caustatittie be appointed to inquire into
the causes et the diference between the amount of
the gross and 'net receipts of Greenwich Hospital
Estates. in Cumberland, Northumberland, and Dur-
ham, and that the accounts of those Estates be laid
before the House." '

Mr. LONG opposed the motion. The estates of
Greenwich Hospital, instead of having been badly
managed, were considerably improved. The Report
of Mr. Harrison, a Surveyor, would prove to the
}l se that considerable improvements had taken
place, and that the Directors had been recommended
to pursue the com se of improvement they had adop.
ted. The receipts in 1805, amounted to £23,500.
At present the .twount was ii:4O,l(X). The receiver,
whom the Han. Baronet considered useless (Mr.
Forster), was understood to be a most respectable
Lair, recommended to the situation by Earl St. Vin-
cent. The Hon:ur,ih!e Baronet, so tar from stating
aay abuses, had not made out the slightest case of
Mismanagement.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY could not impute blame to
for Directors. but he conceived they had managed;
the estates upon ertoneous ideas, and. believing in-
spiry to be necessae y, he supported the motion.
Mr. CROKER said, it was almost unnecessary to
trouble the House with any observation on the sub-
t.—(Hear, hear.)—The Hon. Baronet who spoke
st, admitted that those who had the management
the estates had done their duty extremely well..
cry of No, no.)—They had at least brought no
arge of misconduct against them. He contended,
om the returns, that the estates had improved, and
strongly opposed the motion, observing, if the
Hollis was desirous of having further documents to
prove that the Directors lad acted in the best man-
ler, the same s'Asti/ld be laid.on the table.

Mr. GORDON said, that if the manager of an
elate had not conducted it to the best advantage, It
ass a sollicient case to inquire into his conduct,
althpugh he had not received any bribe, or been in-
timed by any pecuniary motives. '
Sir M. W. RIDLEY explained.
Sir C. POLE contended, that under the circum•
stances there was no mismanagement of the estates.
There was no'doubt, however, th.tt in the hands of
nom who had the advantage of local knowledge,
they would be better managed than by so vacillating
body as the Directors of Greenwich Hospital. It
as in his opinion desirable that they should be sold
out, as much the most profitable mode, but this Vas
sot the object of the motion, for which reason he
hold oppose it.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE thought the gallant Ad-
-61 might as well propose to sell out the College
"WI with all its spires and columns, as sell the
states. The latter was as much a National Montt,
lent as the former. He could assure his gallant
Fiend, that the Directors were not so vacillating as
supposed. There were two or three very steactyl
llows among them—(l laugh)—who had been a
g time in their places. He (Sir J. Yorke) was
imself a Director. He thought the speech of the
allant Admiral very good and very eloquent, and
jetted to it only as being wholly unnecessary.
Su' C. MONCK said a few words in reply, and the
ousealivided—
Ayes, 24—Noes, 93—Majority, 59.
The Poorhouse Bill, and Local Poor •Bill. were
d a second time, and ordered to be committed on
mday.
The Local Copper Token Bill was read 'a first
file, and ordered to be read a second time on Wed-
' Y.--The House adjourned at twelve o'clock,
1 Friday,
,by

a late return to Parliament, it appears that the
Aorn warehoused in the several ports of Great
in under the C.)rn Bill is considerably under one
tent. of the consumption of England alone.
:roll the pas.ing of the Acs to the sth ultimo,
6'hets have been warehoused only about 42,000
.cartes of Wheat and 167,000 hundred weight of
I°Drs of wbich the greater part has probably been
ince
sported.—While the prices of Agricultural.
re'doot are rising `in England, they are falling in
rasce. In fact the Cora Bill of last ysir is mar
begiooing to operate.

The Public will be rejoiced to observe that a Bill
was last night brought forward by Mr. Ross for the
protection of Saving Banks. This is a wise measure,
and can hardly fail to prove highly conducive to the
prosperity of these institutions.

Mr. GRATTAN presented a Petition from the Ca-
tholics of Ireland, and gave notice that be should, on
Tuesday next, submit a motion to the 'House on the
subject of the Catholic claims. Sir J. MACKINTOSH
brought forward his /notion on the Contributions re-
ceived from France; but the House being satisfied
with declarations previously made by the CHANCEL
Loa of the EXCHEQUER, that the whole (excepting the
expense of sending back the statues to Rome, and
erecting a monument to the last representative of the
louse of STUART.) was to be applied in aid of the
public service, the previous question was carried with-
out i division.

LILLE, MAY 9.
His Excellency the Duke of Wellington came here
the day before yesterday, to return to the Marquis
de Jumilhac. Lieutenant-General commending the
16th Military Division, and to Mr. Dupleix de
Mezy, Prefect of the Department of the North,

His Grace dined at the Hotel of the Prefect with his
Staff, and with the principal Civil and Military
Functionaries. He afterwards went to the theatre,
where all eyes were turned on the victor of Waterloo.
Te give him the most agreeable reception, by ex-
pressing sentiments which he participates, the or-
chestra played the air of Mewl IV. and one of the
actors sung, amidst the most lively acclamations,
the cantata which is called 46 The French Oath."
In the course of conversation. hii Grace several
times expressed his satisfaction at finding himself in
a city which has given so many proofs of fidelity and
devotedness to the King. lie departed yesterday to
return to his head-quarters at Cambray. .
