be should certainly vote for the motion . On the question being called for , there appeared For it - 15 Against it 74
Majority against it' jjg But though the que ^ ion was thus los t * we cannot doubt that ft will be taken up in the next sessions ; and it is not xmprob * ble that some points may be gained , though it is obvous , that all the strength of the borough-holders will be put forth to prevent reform , aiid to retain their unjust usurpation .
Mr . Wardie ' s motion 'was for papers , which were all granted to him , and In his speech for them he stated his opinion , that if the House were the faithful guardians of the public purset the amount of the Income Tax might be greatly dimini bed , if not entirely saved , 3 rle denied that he attacked the
character of public men ; it wa « pernicious systems that he attempted to overthrow . Re then went into a detail of savings in the Blues in the cavalry , in the Royal Staff corps , the Militia , the Volunteers , the Loyal Waggon Train , the Recruiting Staif , Army Agents , the War-Office , the Ordnance department , the Barracks ,
the Post Office , the Bank , and several other departmentsj which according to his calculations ( and we are not in the Jea ^ t inclined to doubt them ) would produce the savings he had stated . Mr . JHuskisson , of the treasury , insinuated , that the shew of saving n , ooo , oool . ayear was calculated to excite discontent
in the country ; that it was easy to talk of savings , ajnd that a diminished army might be kept at a diminished expence ,

vindicated the use of foreign corps in our service , and thought that an inconsiderate pledge had been given wfcicft could not be justified . After controverting several statements , he passed severe censures on the mover for making rash assertions , unfounded in fact . Mr . Fame 11 vindicated Mr . " Wardle for bringing forward his motion , and was for a retrenchment in the expenditure . Mr . Thornton observed , that a saving ' had already taken place in the Bank , doubted that much could be saved from places and pensions , but admitted that many points in Mr . Wardie ' s speech deserved attention , and particularly those respecting the auditing of the public accounts . Mr . Rose , Mr . Marryatt , and
some others , controverted some of the statements , and it was at la-t agreed that ministers should produce the papers in the best manner they could , according to the scope of the motions , lea \ ing the defects to be supplied in the next sessions . A great point is thus gained , for one
member has taken upon himself the arduous ta-k of enquiry into various articles of expenditure , and we have not the least doubt that in the course of his investigation he will find many objects to be examined , which in the result will produce to the nation a saving of many millions . The effect also of this mAion
will be not only an absolute saving to the public , but also a stricter attention to the expenditure ; for it will be dreaded hereafter that similar motions will be made , and the agents of administration will be liable to much greater enquiry than has been hitherto adopted in the management of public affairs .
