APRIL 14. I crlaiu's depai tint ut, and moved that the estimates fo the quart I. ending the sth of January last, should be laid before the House firthwitis. Lord CASTLE:9,MM objected to the motion, because no eitonate of this Titterer hail been laid before the lord, of the ; When ihcoistilijeet. came betiire the House he shoui I be reads . to state stay these estimates had not been made Mr. TIERN EICII motion was put and negatived. He then gave notice that he would an Monday the 6th of May, more for a cu o isn;ttee of the whow House, to enquire into the situ ation of the Civil 1-ist, and that the Committee should have power to call for persons and papers, and to examine witnesses. Mr. HA ;111%1E10LN:1f moved fur an account of the sums due front the French Government to this Country, for the main rmanee of French prisoners, but which was given up by the Treatia of 1811 and ISt,,, on condi , iou of the French Govern ment consenting to recognize the claims of liritish subject, oar lte french Flinds.—Agreed to. . . . . ngs moved f o ra return of the several ditties of the Oliver , of the Navy Pay 011 ice. The object of the lion. (*retail:man was, to ascertain whether tlu• duties of those Officers were not so light as to ad.uit the opportimity of their paying seamen on foreign stations. Sir 'C. Pole was happy the motiore Mil been made, as it gave him an opportunity of stating how the matter stood; By the Allotment As!t, the 1.1.411140 w was allowed to allot half his pty to his wife, or some oth,r person, anti the .realer part to others. This was the benefit of the Allotment Act;. and he should oppose buch a regulation as the Hoo. Geotleman now proposed. Sir G. HOPE observed, that if such a practice as paying the men on foreign stations was to be carried into effect, it was inenissibie °sat the fleets could move anti the men were paid; PO that an enemy's fleet might rid. tritnnoltant in the Mediter ranean, while the proper officers were paying our ships, which would take op three weeks. Mr. ROSE agreed in the opinion of the last speaker. If the seamen could receive their pay abroad, be was afraid that wery few of theta would send home a provision for Weis families. Sir N. Moonsow concurred in the opinion of the gallant Admirals (Sir' C. Pole and Sir G. Hope), and opposed the motion, as being detrimental to the intere.sts of the service. Mr. %V. SMITH thought the grand defect of the British Navy was, that it partos4 more than necessary of force and coercion. Sir C. Pi m; admitted it would be better to titan the British Navy without coercion. Bat while oleo preferred the merchant service it because necessary to use coercion, or it would be impossible to man the deans. SILVER COINAGE. Mr. GRENFEL stated, that in respell to the circulation of Silver, if a person wished to obtain change for a 11. note, he got ruse half in foreign Coin, and the other haif in counterfeit Coin, manufactured in this country. He thought the present strip of the M trket was a just ground for giving the pub• lie a new Coinage from the Mint. This day the price of *leer was mis. perpound. The Hon. Gentleman then moved rm. an Account of all foreign Coin, gold and silver, imported., to the latest period, from the Ist at Jan. IMO. Agreed to. NAVAL ESTIMATES. On the Resolution for granting a certain sum tor half-pay, Sir C. Pots adverted to the superannuated list, and objected to the superannuation of a Commissioner of the Navy in full Le.dth, with a salary of 7001. and another person who received 10001. a-year on one account, and MAI. on another; dins making a total of 16001. to ont person. The gallant Admiral referred to the Army List, and regretted to see that the Mothers of Ge neral Brock and Rosa had ample pensions (12001. a-year), while the widow of Captain Harvey, who fell on the Ist of June, un der Lord Howe, had only 12.d.asyear for the support of herself and child. _ . _ Mr. Cnini.En said, the gallant Admiral had taken an errone ens view of the subject, the disparity in the two services not being really such as lie described. The pension granted to Mrs. Harvey was in 1791—the widows.of colonels in the army stood in the same predicament as Mrs. Haney, their pensions being < Nactly the same. In some eases the widows of officers in the al my, of the same rank with Post Captains, received less. In respect to the Commissioners of the nav , the regulation of al lowing them 7001. a•year on retiring was a very old regulation, and not to be affected by the Orders in Council The two Commissioners superannuated were both of them upwards of eighty yews old. Commissioner Fanshawe had been 60 years in the public service. After some further remarks the Resolutions were agreed to. 1 he Report of tae Ordnance Estimates was takenan . to urther eonsideratium, and agreed to. On the motion of Lord PaiorrmsTost, the Report of the Ar my Estimates was ordered to be taken into further con sideration. Lord FOLILSTONE could not let the last time of these Esti mates coming before the. House pass, without repeating that those Estimates- were far too large for a state of peace ; and unless they were still further 'seduced, the effect they must produce on the finances of the country would he ruinous He took this opportunity, also, of again protesting against the use of the military on all occasions. The amount of the daily guard of the Metropolis was nearly double since 1791. He instanc ed what Lord Chief Justice !Lilt said to an Officer who came to him to ask for the authority of the Civil Power is aid of a artv of soldiers that had been sent to nitwit a riot in Holborn. The Lord Chief J tsstice said to the Odieer, " Suppose the mob does not disperse when you arrive, what would you do then The 111ficer said he had orders to fire on them. " Have you so, Sir,:' said his Lordship; "them take notice, that if one man is killed, and yon are tried before me, I will ta.ke care to have you hanged." That was certainly a strong expression ; bat his Lordship concluded Ly saying, that the matter !whinged to the Civil Power aloncond no Officer' of his should attend the Mu litary.—The Report was then agraed to.—Adjourned. Tlil RSDAY, APR 11, 11. ItiZEREST Of MONEY. Mr. Serj. ONSLOW gave notice that he %tumid on tetttli May move for lea eto bring in a Bill to repeal the btu . % relterting the Interest of Money. It was not his intention to alter the rite uf interest, but to kave money to find its es keel. Petitions were presented front person* concerned inthe Lea titer Trade from Oxford, 'rewkeshur), Bolton-le-.tooag, ter, the West of Scotland, and other places against the Lea bitr Tax.---Laid on the table.

He was satisfied, it' this souse had not esisied, that the complaints against the Insolvent lle'aur's Act would not he so numerous as they were.

Lord CASTLEKILAGII moved, that the House, on its rising, should adjourn to U'eduesday, the 24th inst. COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. Mr. Rost brought up a Bill for extending the operation of the Charter of the College of Surgeons. He said, the great ob ject of the Bill was to prevent persons who were uneducated, from practising as surgeons. Matey instance. , had occurred, within his own knowledge, in which persons, utterly incompe tent to the practice of surgery, were permitted' to carry on that profession, to the infinite danger and inconvenience of his Ma jesty's subjects. Mr. Baouonsst said, if he understood the nature of the pro • visions oethis Bill, they were to prevent any person from prac tising as a sturgeon in England, who was not a Member of the College of Surgeons in England : and any person from practising in Scotland, who was not a Member of the College of Scotland. ( Mr. Rose here across the table said " all events, the Bill went to. prevent the Sergeous of Scotland from prac tising in England; so that if a gentleman happened to break a bone on the borders, anti could only obtain the assistance of a cow-leach, or common bone setter in England, and that by send ing across the borders, he could get the most eminent surgical assistance, this Bid would prevent hint from that advantage, and he mast lie at the risk of mortification and death, till a Mem ber of the College of Surgeons could be obtained. Had this Bill existed heretofore, the consequence would have been, that this country would be deprived of the advantage of the most splendid medical talent of this age—as neither Sir Evetard Home, 1)r. Bailey, Sir John Hunter, Dr. Wm. Hunter, Profes sor Abercrombie, or any of those men so high in their profes sion, could have practised here. Under every eirctowrance, be thought the Bill one which ought not to be sanctioned by the House. Mr. Noss said he. had not said one word against Surgeons educated in Scotland. After some further remarks, Mr. Rose consented to withdraw his Bill, with a view to its amendment. PA RUA MENTARY REFORM. Sir F. BERDETT presented a Petition from Huddersfield, in Yorkshire, including twenty-four parisses, signed by 10,000 individuals, praying Parliamentary Reform. The Honourable Baronet said, it WAS Not his intention to make ans ohservation upon this subject at present. After the recess, however, he trusted the House would direct their attention to a question which involved the dearest interests of the country. Lord Lascattes said, he had never heard one word of this petition, either directly or indirectly. It was not dildeult how ever, to get signatures in the neighbourhood, of lludderstiebt Colonel PA )1 Eli moveddor all Account o?the Small Arms in ,the Tower,. and other depositories of the Board of Ordnance ; together With a weekly return of Arms mannthetured, (lOWA to the latest period ; and an account al the contracts made in Bir mingham for the manufacture of small Arms, and their expense. —Ordered. ' Yr. CREEVEY gave notice that his should submit a motion to the House after the recess; the object of which should he to Jo away the salaritsof all persons holding offices in the West Indies, the duties of which were to• be perthrmeal in person, who were non-resident. Mr. Ca EEV EY moved " For an aroma of all aunts advanced to the Corporation of Liverpool:'—Ordered. The Soraccrott-OEsitaiat gesso notice, that he should, on the hal of 1111 v, submit a motion to the I louse Olt the subject of the articles of' charges ' laid upon the table of the House by a Noble Lord, the Member for Westminster, against the Lord Chief Justice of the Kale's !tenets. It' the Nob:e Lord himself wished to bring the *object forward before, he haat no wish to interfere with his determination. lie thought, !lawyer, that the subject aught not to his dormant.—(/Gar.) Lumirty OF THE PRES.S. Mr. BROUGII %M . begged. to state, few the satisfaction of Hon.

EDUCATION IX FRANCE On the subject of the Laneasterian mode of education attempted to be introduced into France, the Mouiteur of the 4th contains the following notice: " By a letter of the 3d of February, the grand almoner - has acquainted thu prefect of the Seine, that having made known to the King the alarms of the Catholics, the reels mations of the cler,. , y, and the memorial of the vicarage ncral of I'aris, on the subject of the new schools for the Catholics, on the plan of Bell and Lancaster, his Majesty had charged him to communicate the same to the pretest, and at:the same time twittform him that, without wishing to &ride or: the new method, "his Majesty was desirous thasit should belaiddown as a principle, bath for establish ments already made, and fature ones,— "1.
