Mr. BROUnIIAM could not agree with the

serrations were uncalled for. It was true, that they
were to have a ;Committee of Finance, but when
• they ',collected how much they had benefited from
that Cmumittee before, lie was not disposed to place
'touch reliance upon its exertions.—Okar, heat !)..
In the Speech which had been delivered from the
Throne, as his Hots. Friend had justly stated, there
was .no allusion, whatever, to retrenchment or
'economy. Ali they had to do, therefore, was to

economy and retrenchment were recounneuded by
iiis Majesty; and comparing that with the present
year, where there was no such recommendation, form

Intolerable burdens under which the Peoplegroaned.
