Then as to the general expense of defeadiag t►e Cole•
ales. Fe maintained that they were too ['ibises defend
themselves: every colony was to be considered as part
of a system necessary to the honour zed glory of the
Empire. ►le then addressed himself to the objection
of maintaining the Knights of Malta. These Knights
were paid by the Governmeet of Malts. He meld
state that no (dicer was appointed to a sheath's with-
out security. He saw no reason to suppose that when
the resources of Canada should be brought into full
operation, she would not be able to defend himself
against Am-ries.
Mr. AR IirTIINOT denied that his Right Honour-
able Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) bad
stated that no further reductions would take place, be-
cause reductions were in contemplation, which would
be developed next year. He thought the imputation
of delay in bringing forward these Estimates, brought
against him by the I lononrsble Demitasse. was unjust.
He could say that every order night be was in expecta-
tion of bring able to open the Estimates,and had brought
his box so often to the House with a view to vote the
Estimates, that he should not be surprised if the box
should have at last found its way there without him.
Col. DA VIES contended that a system of jobbing to
a gross degree prevailed in the Colonial appointments
cadet eiseetassrat.
Sir R. WILSON mold bear witness to the ineSciency

of the Militia in the lonian Islands. He condemned
the coednet of Colonel Roos in imprisoning Mr. Rowel
for having in his p o ion a petition to be sent to the
King.
Mr. OOULBURX defended the administration of Sir
T. Maitland, and stated his readiness to meet any charge
that might be brought against that officer.
Mr. BENNET said he bad no doubt that the A
cans laughed at our defensive preparations, and he eta.
riser] that we should follow their example with regard
to that frontier, and place no watchmen there at ali.
All these works %outd gn to the. Americans in the end,'
and even if it were possible to prevent their obtaining
possession of Canada, the place was not worth the firing
(done shot to prevent it.
Mr. tiOULIICIIN protested against the doctrine of
the Hon. Gentleman, that hi+ Majesty's subjects, let them
reside where they will, are not entitled to the protection
Of the Government.
Mr. Hi:3K ISSON opposed the motion. The lion.
Mentber for Aberdeen could gain nothing by his motion.
Freer the sum cf 70%000/. proposed to be voted, he was
lot sure one farthing would he applied to defray the ex-
pose of Colonial Acency. If the liononrahle Member
believed that the inlonies would he benefitted by the
abolition of colonial agents, he was much mistaken.
These offices were really useful, and could not be dis-
pensed with.
Mr. 'l'. COURTENAY rose to make a few observa-
tions in answer to the statement made by the Honour.
able Member for Shrewsbury, who had said that the
office be held in Ceylon was an office without duty. The
statement was wholly unfounded, and he might tell the
lion. Member that in the whole course of his Parliament-
ary life be never made a greater mistake. Hie duty was
performed as agent to the Government of the Cape, and
certainly he was obliged to devote his time to the busi-
nen and interests of the Colony.
. Mr. T. WILSON considered Colonial Agents °ems
eery to carry on the /mimes of the Colonies in Eng-
land.
Mr. W. SMITH conteoded that the Rorenue of Qty-
. let sad dehee Colombia -engirt to asinif the expense of
Agency.
-Mr. HUSKISSON explained.
Mr. GRANT opposed the Amendment.
Mr. BROUGHAM was satisfied the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman and others acting as Agents, were worth the mo-
ney they received. They were persons standing in the
situation of friends at Court, who were to use their in-
terest with his Majesty's Government, for the advantage
of the Colonies.
Mr. HUME replied.
The Committee then divided,
For the Amendment, 55—Against it, B.l—Majority,27.
The E.:Ornate was consequently agreed to.
On our admission to the gallery, we found Mr. AR-
BUTHNOT proposing that a sum of 200,000/. be grant-
ed to defray the contingent expenses of the Civil List,
'but at the suggestion of Mr. G. BENNET it was post-
poned, as it was likely to create a discussion which it
wax too late to enter upon.
A sem of 19,000/. was proposed to defray the Pensions
of the Toolonese and Corsican emigrants, and the
Dutch Naval Officers and St. Domingo sufferers, to
which they were entitled for services performed in the
British service.
Colonel DAVIES objected to the grant on the ground
that the French Government ought to defray those ex-
penses, as the services rendered by those persona were
for the restoration of the Bourbons. He objected to
the pension of General Dumourier, as he had served In
the Austrian army, and should, therefore, be pensioned
by the Austeian ment. Ile also objected to the
grant to the Knights of Malta, and he would, therefore,
propose a reduction on the sum of 4,939/.
'llse CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
services of. those persons were performed in the British
service MO., B •it Commanders, and therefore they
bad-the strongest claims upon the Government.
After a few words from Mr. Hume and Mr. AitnUrti-
Wire, the Amendment was negatived without a division.
A sent et 2,152/. was voted for defraying the defi-
ciency of the expense attending the printing of 1756
copies of the 53tli volume of the Journals of the House
of Commons for the year IS:11.
A sum of S,IMM/. was voted for defraying the expenses
of the Institution called the. Refuge for the Destitute.
A ststo of 2.5.000/. was proposed to be voted for the
Caledonian Canal, to which
-51 r. HUM E objected, and said that, after 60,000/. had
been already voted, it was too much to call on the house
now for this additional aunt; and he feared, if this were
granted, new demands would still he made.
The CHANCF:LLOit uf the EXCHEQUER said that,
from the Report of the Commissioners, this sum was
likely to complete the renal.
Col. PAVIES said a mireey and a specific estimate of
the sum necessary should hr wade: iu which observa-
tion Mr. BROUGUAM concurred.
Air. W. SMITH thought, as so much. money had been
already laid out upon this Canal, and as great advan-
tages were expected from it, the house ought not to re-
fuse as much as would complete it.
The Resolution was then agreed to.
A smu of ZOOK was voted to defray the expences of
sundry works in Port Patrick Hart
A su.n of 12,00111. was voted for a like purpose in Holy.
bead Harbour.
A stun of 1,000/. was voted to make good a sum which
had been laid out in purchasing houses for the improve-
ment of Westminster.
After a few words from Mr. Hume aad the CHAN-
CELLOR dal- E‘CHEQUEII. tise Resolution was agreed to.
sum of •2,700/. was voted to make good the sxpences
of erecting new Courts fur the Commissioners of Bank-
rupts.
Air. BROUGHAM suggested the necessity of erect-
ing temporary Courts adjarent to each other, for the
liar, while the permanent Courts were in the progress
of building, as no person could conceive the inconveni-
*ace both to suitors and the profession from their dis-
persion.

Verdict, Accidental Death.
Taeaday night, or early on Wednesday morning,
the house of Nehemiah Rickets, Esq. in the Hem-

plate, lac. to the value of about 17e01. The thieves
scaled a wall thirty feet high to gain admission.
Thursday afternoon a female called with a note di-
rected to a silversmith in Oxford-street, requesting
some silver tea-pots might be sent to No. 7. Chapel-
place, Verrttreet, for the approbation of a lady who
could not leave the house. A young man was de-
spatched with some I and after being admitted by the
same female, was shown into the drawing-room, where
three teapots were selected, and taken op stairs by
her, to show the lady. After waiting a quarter of an
hour, he rang the bell, and found she bad made her

sented herself as servant to a new married couple, who

We understand that in consequence of the reddc-
tion is the price of Malt, Mr. CHAPMAN, of the Bag-
eigge Wells Brewery has determined to make his Ale.
Table Ale, and Table Beer of such superior finality A
will enable him to defy all competition. When we Con-
sider the importance to families of po ing a beveiage
free from the noxious ingredients usually employed its
the composition of that necessary article, we tannin
be surprised at the extensive patronage he so deserv-
edly enjoys. Such patronage we hope will abeam
be given to meritorious individuals who prefer a small
profit and fair name to the risk of destroying the health
of their fellow-creatures by a wicked and unfeeling cu-
pidity. To satisfy the most fastidious as to the Itennine-
sees of his articles, Mr. CHAPMAN mikes half-yearly the
following affidavit.
" RICHARD CHAPMAN. of Regeigge Wells Brewery, Ale.
Table Ale, and Table Beer Brewer, onkel% oath and saith
that his Ale, Table Ale, and Table Beer, are brewed from
Malt and Ho ps only, and that he never has, nor ever a ill
permit or stiffer any drugs or other illjurinus ingredients to
