Dr. LUSHINOTON begged to say one word in ex.
planatios with respect to the 3/s,fldel, He always under-
stood from the Earl of Liverpool's letters to her Ma-
jetty and her advisers, that that sato was to he allowed
for her Majesty's minted ince daring the continuance
of the legal proceediegt optima her. Be het believed
it was *ever enetemplated by Lord Liverpool hat that
allowance wontl not be Increased on het sequittal, and

Mr. HI'3IE said, the widen was,whether the

that wading her Majesty's trial the allowance of

tended to subiraet the charge of. bonsaurent and ear-
thier', what right bad his Majesty's Government to

• The CHANCP.I.IAiR of the EXCHEQUER was will-
ing to Marie that the Hon. and Learned °endeavor' op.
),..site has done hie best in the administration of her
lee Majesty's etects. He confessed he was at a loss to
oaderstavid how there (veld he a charge remaining to
he paid for carriages. when one of the advances that had
teen made was for the express purpose of paying a de-
mand of that name..
' Dr. LUSHINGTON observed that was for au addl.
tiunal carriage (as we understood.)
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be
NSA ready to give every praise to the lion. and Learned
Oentleman through the whole of his intercourse on that
eehjeit with his Majesty's Ministers. He would also
Limit that the onus advanced in rent of homes, be.,
were to be considered exclusive of the allowasee of
a.year. On the sth of April, 1921, her Majesty
hail to receive the rem of 30,00 W. In one sem beyond
a'l deaisetion. All her law expenses were provided for
in the most unlimited manner. No increase of advance
could then be made in the Bill, and be would caution
the Lone, seainet making any precedent for any of the
Ral Family coming down to that house to obtain ant
greoyat of that kind. That war the first, time any such
. propolition was made in that House.
Mr. C. SMITII said all her Majesty's just debts
shonlit he paid, but be was surprised why any where yet
outstanding.
Mr. W. SMITH not haring had an opportunity before
of giving his opinion, he could not let that which then
ofrered pass, to
department observe thawee toot in Idsgrea opinion the expense
of the Alien t. He found in a
paper on the table of the house, that Lord Sidmouth
was of opinion that the business of the OSCO might be
carried on at the office of the Home Deurtment, and hr
. reall. hoped that this seggestion of the late Secretary
of State would be acted upon. Ile found by a late Par-
iiemeotary paper that 180.0001. of pnblic money went
amongst Members of that huge; and he could sot con-
ceive that it so circulated without effectieg a certain in.
fhieree. The lion. Meinher also expressed his regret
the' the Tythe lousing Bill for Ireland had passed.
Air. BENNET took that opportunity of explaining
the reuton why the Report alluded to by his lion:
Friend was to late of being presented. He (M'r. B.)
e. as Chairman of that Committee. but he found the
greatest difficulty to get Members to return themarlyes
as hotting places. He had used every exertion to hurry
them, but was unable to present the report sooner fur
the reason be bad given.
The Appropriation Bill was then read a third time
and passed.

A11.1011:11.XMINT.
On the motion of the Cif ANCLLLOR of the EXC!ItQI:2II
that the Runge adjonrn, at its risime, to Monday,
Mr. BENNET rose to take that opportunity of
milelng a feu observations on the proceedings of the
past Session of Parliament. Ile was anxious to do this,
because be thonglit it the only Session productive
real advantage to the country, that had hero seen for a
lung time. That bowie had greatly departed from its
fernier course. It bail listened with more attention and I
r4Trct to the petitions of the people. :n the present
Session the taxes had been lowered to the amount of
3 millions; but he, for one, was of opinion, that very
eonsiderah:e redactions must yet he carried. If that
ivas trite Mitch they beard on all sides, and if the cala-
mity of plenty with which we were now threatened were
not averted, anti if, in its place, we were not blessed with
a famine to diminish the stock of food now in hand, he
knew not what would he the situations of the Nobility
and Gentry, and of the farmers and yeomen, who for
years past lied been paying the Nobility, not out of the
profits realised on the land they occupied, but out of
their principal. The House in this Session had, in
tiefiolite of thr_gntreatics,, not to say the menaces, re-
duced one of the PostinasteatilidWo of the' lands of
the Admiralty. When the list which had been alluded,
to by his llonoarable Friend below him made its way
into the country, it would be seen that no fewer than
seventy placemee. who might be removed from their si-
tuations at the pt
f the Crown, and were CORSO-
quentiy ever ready to support the measure's of Ministers
against what be considered the trite interests of the
country at large, were in the bosom of that house. if
Gentlemen looked at all the great questions which had
been decided, te. which the public had been most alive,
it would be found that this band of chosen friends and
impportera of the Crown amounted to somewhere shoat
the majority which had propped up the measures of the
Government against the wishes of the people. In a
future Session be should feel it to be his duty to bring
this subject under the consideration of the house, as be
thought that common decency required that 70 place-
men receiving about 130,000 L of the public money, who
might be removed at the pleasure of the Crown (he said
nothirg of those who were difPrently circumstanced)
should not continue Members of that assembly. Though
be felt in the strongest degree the necessity of effecting
a Parliamentary Reform, he was anxious that it should
'be known how far that house really represented the
Commons of England. The large minority which bad
appeared in favour of Parliamentary Reform, in the
coarse of the present Session, the greatest be believed
that had ever bite* knows, proved that the weight and
influence of the people were slowly awl silently working
their way ; and though. to use an old p b, reform
now might be somewhat like " shutting the 'tibia door
wheo the steed was stolen," it was still satisfactory so
to feel that the weight and influence of the Commons of
