NEWPORT DIVISION.- SATUUDAY,…
NEWPORT DIVISION.- SATUUDAY, NOVEMBER 27. At the Office of the Clerk to the Justices, High-street, Newport. Magistrates present—Rev. James Coles, Rev. Chancellor Williams, and Rev. T. Pope. DETERMINED ATTACK ON NEWPORT NUISANCES. Hugh Morgan, butcher, of Commercial-street, appeared to answer the complaint of the Town Council of Newport, founded on a certificate by two medical practitioners, for having an accu- mulation of offensive matter, dung, and offal, at his slaughter- house in Oliver's Square, and a foul drain on the premises pre- judicial to the health of the public.—The certificate was pro- duced Ly the Town Clerk, and Mr. W. W. Morgan, surgeon, swore to the truth of It; and that the nuisance, although partly removed, still existed in an offensive state, and was likely to generate and prolong disease.—Mr.'Morgan, the defendant. blamed the Improvement Commissioners for not KEEPING the main drain open, and said he had cleared away the nuisance complained of, promising also to do what might further be ne- cessary, by Tuesday. He said he had done no more than his ) rcdeccssorson the premises.-Mr. Coles commented upon the case, so hurtful to the health of the town, and said the magis- trates would make an order for the nuisance to be abated in forty-eight hours from the service of the order He hoped also that if the premises were not then in a fit state, the Town Council would not let the matter sleep, but would foliow up the terms of the order by having the nuisance cleansed by their servants, in which case the owner or occupier would have to pay the expenses of getting It done. FOTHERGILL-STBEET, TO WIT! Thomas Ryan, occupier of premises in Fothergill-street ap- peared to answer a summons, on the complaint of the Newport Town Council, for having his house in a foul and filthy state, and a dirty and offensive privy 011 the premises.—Mr. Morgan, surgeon, proved the existence of the nuisance complained of; and Mr. Wooilett produced the certificate of medical practition. ers, and the Council minute book.—Ryan said he was only a. weekly tenant, and he couldn't help the nuisance.—[Ryan's outward man seemed to indicate that he didn't consider filth to be at all disagreeable.]—Mr. Coles enquired who was the owner, and recommended that in future the owner should be summoned for permitting nuisances on their tenant's premises. He said the magistrates were willing to do all they could in car- iying out the act.—An order was made on Ryan for the clean- sing of the privy, to be effected in forty-eight hours from the service of the order, giving power, at the same time, to the Town Council, after that time, to send their servants to cleanse the nuisance at the expense of the owner or occupier of the premises. [We would caution householders to keep their premises in the cleanest and healthiest condition, by the opening of drains, removal of dung-heaps, and emptying of cess-pools, and a free use of water, lime, &c., or they (perhaps the landlords) may find themselves not only visited by the Law, but abo the deadly Cholera Morbus. It should alse be remembered, that the pe- nalty for obstructing the execution of the magistrates' order, is not less than £2., or more than £10.]

In 1825. when the Company was established, few persons comparatively availed themselves ot Life Assur- ance and the amount of business transacted by the Oflices then io existence, though lew in number, was of verv limited extent About the period nf the first investigation oAhe Compan; attairs in 1835, the public interest in Life Assurance became much more general. Various new Oitices had been established both in Scotland and England and the successful course of the Offices previously established, which was then becoming more strongly marked, had the effect of directing the attention of many persons to the subject who had not previously considered ft. These circumstances, and the satisfactory result of the Company's business at the first investigation, had the effect of greatly accelerating the progress of the institution, and in the period between the First Uivision ol profits in 1835 and the second in 1840, the income of the Company was more than doubled. The division of profits in 1840 again called increased attention to the Company and at 1615. the Third Division of I Profits, the ineome was nearly treble the amount at 1840, the previous Division.

They never change colour, and need not be removed except at the pleasure of the wearer. Mr. L.

H is well known that many of the great landed proprietors and ecclesiastical comora tions giant leases tor. lives very extensively. Property of thi description, however, is hazardous and insecure, from the uncer. tamty of life. To meet this difficulty, the company propo e to grant policies for insuring such lives at equitable rates,so thaifor a small annual payment, life leasehofd property may be relived from all contingency, and made nearly equal III effect to aeper. petnity.

Sa) that the lives are respec- tively 10, 20, and 30 years, the full value of the fee simple may be secured to the lessee or his representatives at the expiration of the lease, at a premium of only 17s. per cent., or to enable the lessee to renew before the expiration of the lease, any sum may be insured at an additional rate of premium on the death of the first one or two lins. In all such cases the company will be disposed to lend to the extent of two-thirds of the value upon an assignment of the lease and policy, securing interest at 4& per ceRt. The prepara- tion of the security where the sum lent may not exceed £ 200., will be entrusted to the locil solicitor. Any further information may be had from W. NORRIS. Secretary, 8.

Miss Birch was, on Friday, condemned by default by the Tri- bunal of Commerce of Parts to pay 30,000 francs ( £ 1,200.) to the managers of the Paris Opera for having quilted Paris in vio- lation of ber engagement. In India the plastered walls of rooms are stamped when moist, and worked into patterns, over which is spread varnUh of powdertd talc, which clopely resemt)its the richness and hue of new and unused frosted silver plate. This might be introduced into England, as a very cheap and elegant drawing room decoration. In the year 1839, the French mercantile navy numbered 15 000 ships, but they are now reduced to 13,679; and 01 these 8,900 measure less than 30 tons. CAI'-IIOM TO SKHVANTS.—At the Wrexham County Court, the Judge has decided that servants leaving their situations without proper notice, forfeit their wages for the current quarter. HORSE STEALING.—A man named William Jenkins, charged by Sarah Jenkins with horse stealing, was lodged in the Swansea police station last evening. The crime is alleged to have been committed near Beaumaris, North Wales, and the prisoner was apprehended by a constable at Dowlais, by virtue of a warrant signed by Sir William Burkeley, and brought to Swansea to be taken by Troubadour to North Wales.—Swansea Herald. NEATU l\hCflANH'S' INSTITUTION.—We are happy to see that the new building now erecting for the use of this institu- tion, is progressing rapidly, and is likely to be all ornament as well as a benefit to the town. The front, which is now com- pleted, exhibits a hold specimen of the Italian style of archi- tecture, and has a simple and elegant appearance. The whole of the work reflects great credit on the contractor, Mr. J. Townsend, under the direction of Messrs. Wallace, the archi- tects. We trust the friends to educational progress will lend some pecuniary assistance to so highly useful a work, as the funds have not reached the necessary amount. NEW EPIDEMIC.—Within the last eight or ten days, a new epidemic has sprung up in Edinburgh, in the form of influenza, of a very severe character, which the present state of the wea- ther greatly aggravates and fosters.

COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF AN ENGLISH…
COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF AN ENGLISH CAPTAIN AND HIS CREW. To the Editor of the 5,111. SIR -A fcw months since I read in your columns an account of the brave Spanish captain who saved the passengers and crew of one of the West India mail steamers, lost in the Gulf of Mexico he, I believe, received his reward, though not more ample than deserved. An act as noble and as daring, if not exceeding it, has, within tlies • few days, been achieved by an English captain and his crew (if crew they can be called), on these shores. On the morning of Monday, the 15th instait-the hour about four o'clock—the barque Henry, of Liverpool, bound to Cardiff, was wrecked on the dangerous sands called the Sherwea- thers," to the southward of this port; there was a heavy sea running at the time, and the ship became a wreck amongst the breakers. The crew took refuge in the rigging for a period, and saw two or three vessels stand towards them, and off again they gave up all hope in this world, but Providence had ordained it otherwise. The smack William and Jane, of the port of Barnstaple, in Devonshire, Hawkins, master, stood towards them, and, nothing daunted by the scene, standing on, her noble crew (will it be credited?) consisting only of two men! determined to save those in peril, or perish in the attempt—launching their boat, one hand in her, the other in the smack, with stout hearts and determined purpose, in the midst of most imminent danger to themselves which need not be described, they succeeded in rescuing and restoring to their country and their families, eighteen seamen (the entire crew, except one boy drowned). They landed them at this poit, and proceeded on their passage to Newport. How gratifying must be the reflection to these fine fellows on what they have accomplished I trust this will not be their sole reward. With such an idea I have forwarded a plain statement of facts to you, hoping that those who may have coutroul over any funds for the purpose, may deem it a case for inquiry, and as deserving of reward as ever can occur; or that those whose "home is on the deep," and well can picture to themselves the case of the cast-away and their deliverers, may contribute something to these noble fellows as a reward, and as an encouragement toothers to stand on and save, as did the brave Hawkins and his man. I have these particulars from the rescued mate, a very re- spectable man. The captain is much injured, and in bed. The former said to me, "They were indeed noble fellows, sir and if ever I have the power, I never will forget them, and hope they may meet with their reward." I trust they may. I have the honour to be, sir, Your most obedient servant, COURTENAY PHILLIPS, Swansea, Nov. 19. (Late Major 15th Hussars.)

HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIDAY, Nov. 20. F.ail Grey laid upon the table copies of the correspondence between the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Kxchi quer, and the Bank of England. respecting the infringe- ment of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. Lord Ashburton said, that under the circumstances, the go- vernment was not to blame. The responsibility was thiown altogether upon the Bank of England. In reply to a question from Lord Brougham, Earl Grey said thut the eilect on the currency produced by the outlay of capital on railways must, he conceived, foim a portion of the inquiry of the committee upon the commerica distiess of the country. Their lordships then adjourned. MONDAY. Nothing of importance transpired in the house thia evening. TUKSDAY, The Earl of EHenhorough moved for some commercial returns from India, and toracopy of a letter written uv the Board of Diiectors to the officers in India, directing them to Kend bullion to England to enable the Directors to meet their engagements. 1 he Noble Earl condemned this abstraction of bullion from India as injurious to the colonial interests. lhe r. turns were oiedered, and their Lordships adjourned to Thuisday.

HOUSE OF C 0 M M 0 N S. FRIDAY, Nov. 26. RAILWAYS—FINANCE. The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved for leave to bring in a hill to extend the tune for the purchase of land, and for the completion oi worus by raiUay companies, and 1:1 so doing, declared his opinion that the demand for money tor the con- struc'ion of railways was one of the causes of the commercial distress, which they all deplored though he would not pretend to say it was the principal one. The right lion, gentleman then went IOto a senes of calculations showing that Irom the year 1826 to 1846 the amount of money sanctioned by pailiami nt to be expended upon railways was about £2(\6,000,000. It was stared by Lord George Bentinck that the average annual expen- diture on railways was about £ 12,500,000.; but it was an eno- neous mcde of calculating, £ to extend the sum equally over the whole number of yo^rs, as in 1841, the expenditure on railw ays was only .£l,470,ûOO, while in 1845 it was no Ie!> than £ 11,000,OOO. In 1810 the amount was £ 36,485,000.; and,in the present year the sum expended, according to the es'imateof the Board of Work*, had been no less than £62,000,000. At present the expenditure wai comparatively light, hut sine the commencement of \846 it had pressed heavily on the available capital of the country, and would continue to do so in an in. creased ratio until 18.R)0. even supposing no railways were con. stiucted beyond (hose schemes which had been already sanc- tioned by parliament. He would not propose any compulsory measure, but rather one to give the power to railway companies to extend the time for the purchase of land for the completion of their wOIks. This would prevent the necessity of their raising capital to purchase the land for their railways within the given time prescribed by their respective acts of incorporation The time to be allowe would be more conveniently discussed in committee, but his present view was to give two Ot three years beyond the time originally contemptaed. On the other h"nd, he proposed to give to the landowners a claim for any injury which they might in consequence sustain. With respect to railways not yet commenced, lie proposed that the directors should not be empoweied to commence their works without the consent of a certain proportion of the shareholders. He would also suggest the inexped'ency of passiug, during the present session, any bills authorising the raising ot any large sums of money. Mr. Eilice supported the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the best adapted to meet the evil; but all our difficulties were not 'o be attnbuted to the railway mania. Mr. Hudson said he was not aware that any of the railway companies had abused the po.vers entrusted to them to borrow money—certainly none with which he was connected. He had, however, no objection to the bit, which did not affect any rail- way with which he was connected. Leave was then given to bring in the b II. Ex RAJAU OF SATTAHA. Mr. Hume then brought the case of the ex Rijah of Sattara under the consideration of the house, and moved for various documents, which, he said, will place beyond doubt the inno- cence of the exiled prince. Mr. C. Lewis, on the part of the government, assented to the production ol the papers. Air. (J. Thompson made his maiden speech in support of the case of the deposed KaJah. Sir J. W Hogg defended the course pursued by the govern- ment of India, and was opposed to re-opening the case. After some observations from Mr. Ansley and Mi-. Wakley the motion was agreed to. Adjourned. MONDAY. HEALTH OR TOWNS. Lord Morpeth, in reply to Mr. Baines, stated that the govern- ment hoped to be able to introduce a measure for the improve- ment of the health of towns on an eaily day after the Christmas recess; and in answer to Dr. Bowring, as to whether the me- tropolis would lie included in such bill, the noble lord said that was a question he would rather not answer at present. AID TO IKELAND. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to Mr. F. French, as to the lepayment of advances made under what was called an Ireland the Rations Act, stated that the grant was E £ 2,200,000, but that the actual sum expended had only heen.t: 1,673,UOO., and the sums to be recovered varied according to the ability of the unions to pay. With regard to the completion of roads which had given occupation to the poor, as relief Works, he did not intend to impose any fuither burden on the people of gng- land on that head, but so soon as the sums advanced >hould be repaid he should be prepared to recommend that they should be re-advanced for the purpose of completing the woiks lett unfi- nished, if presented by the grand juries.—In answer 10 Colonel Mure, the right hon. gentUman intimate that Ireland and Scot- land would come within the scope of the currency inquiry, us well as Englaud. EXCISE LAWS AND TAXATION. 1\1r. Frewen asked whether, in the cOl/templated revision of the excise laws, the Chancellor of the Exchequer could hold out any hopes of the repeal of thettuty on hops? The right hon. gentleman replied that the revision in question was not intended to be such a icvision as would interfere with the revenue, and the time for making his financial statement had not as yet arrived. Lord J. Russell, in answer to Mr. Hume, stated that the go- vernment did not intend to propose any committee either on the subject of general taxation or on the whole expenditure of the country. Mr. Hume then intimated his intention of doing so himself. Mr. Jackson, on the ground of the short time the Railways Bill had been in the hands of hon. members, suggested that the second reading should be postponed until they had had an op- portunity of considering its provisions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hoped the house would be would give a second reading to the bill, as he should not move that it be committed before Friday, which interval would afford sufficient time for the consideration of the details Sir G. Grey made his promised explanation of the measure for the better prevention of crime and outiage in Ireland." He detailed the several cases of assassination which luve been perpetrated in the disturbed districts of Ireland during the last two months, and furnished conclusive evidence to prove that they were the result of an orhair,led conspiracy. The scene of these outrages was however, but limited. In the greater part 01 Ire- land crime had decreased dunng the past year, and had not pre- vailed in those districts wheie the greatest distress exists. He showed that 71 percent, of t! ese murders and outrages had been committed in the counties of Cipperary, Clare, and Lin erick The present bill was not to be applicable to the whole 01 hetand, hut only to those districts which the Lord-Lieutenant should prollaim disturbed. The bill provides that an increased con- stabulary force be sent into a disturbed district. Vatious strin- gent police regulations are proposed with a view to disarm, with some specified exceptions, the inhabitants of such localities, and to pie\ent arms being kept in piivate houses. Another clause rcquiies all persons between the ages of six'een and sixty to as sistinthe pursuit of offenders under penalty 01 imprisonment, on conviction, with or without hard labour, for any term not ex- ceeding two years. These-are the leading features of the mea- suie. Sir G. Grey emphatically stated that he did not PIO- pose this bill as a cure for those evils from which many of the crimes which have existed in Ireland have sprung. I think," he said, "it would be short-sighted policy on the part of any government to think it could hiing about the prevention of crime by police regulations of a penal measure," 0 The speakers in succession were Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. F. O'Connor. Mr. Horsinan, Mr. Fagan, Lord Jocelyn, Air. It M. Fox, Lord Barnard, Mr. P. Scrope, Sir 11. Peel, Mr. M. O'Connell, Mr. Callaghan, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Brotherton. ) he stern opponents of the measure were Mr. F. O'Connor and Mr. Fagan Sir R. Peel supported it, the hon. members generally coinciding in opinion that if accompanied by remedial ineasuies for improving the condition of the people this attempt to put down outrage would be justifiable. Mr. Wakley moved an amendment, to the effect that it was not just to the people of Ireland to enact a coercive measure without at the same time bringing fotward such measures as would tend to their peimanent relief. Upon this question the house divided, the nutnbeis being 20 tos 2.53. A second divison took place on the question that leave be given to bring in the bill, when the numbers were 224 to IS, after which the bill was brought in and read a first time. Tu PSDAY. To a question put by Mr. John O'Connell. Sir G. Grey replied that Government did not contemplate asking Parliament for any further graut of money for Itish dfstrress. Other questions put by the Hon Member, relative to the mea- sures contemplated by the Government for Ireland, not having been answered to the Hon. Member's satisfaction, Mr. J. O'Connell gave notice that he would move an amend- ment to the motion, to bring up the report of the Committee of Supply. Swnzum.AND. To a question put by Mr. Utquart, Lord Palmcrston stated that it had been the wish of the Government to have abstained from all interference with the dissensions of Switzerland. But at the earnest request of the trench Government, Ibey were induced to offer, in conjunction with the other five powers, their mediation. Her Majesty's Go- vernment made it a condition that it should be optional to either of the contending parties to refuse the mediation and should Ihe mediation be in fact, refused. that should form no ground 01 hostile interference on the pait of the five powers. There was also a distinct understanding that the above condition should not fetter the other powers from exercising the rights which they possessed independent of this condition. The Noble Foieign Secretary reminded the House that the five poweis had, in 1815, signed a declaration guaranteeing the independence, inviolabi- lity, and neutrality of the Swiss states. TilE COMMERCIAL DISTRESS. The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved for a select com- mittee to inquire into the canses of the recent commercial dis- I tress, and bow far it had been aggravated by the law restricting the issue of hank notes. The Right Hon. Gentleman commenced his speech by obseiving that, although he was obliged to ask Parliament for a Bill of Indemnity for an actual violation of the law, he had to ask the judgment of the House upon Ills conduct in authorising the Hank of England, should circumstances have rendered it necessaiy, to exceed the law. In taking the course which the Government bad taken—that is, a middle course they knew they laid themselves open to blame from all paities. and accordingly they were told by some that they ought not to have interfered at all, and that their interference had done no sood by others they were told that they ought to have inter- fered sooner; whilst by many they were censured because they had not departed altogether from the Bank Cbaittr Act of 1844, and adopted principles diarnetiically opposite. Had they done !his last, tbey would have acted against their firm convictions 'or although they did not believe that any Act could bo so (rained by human wisdom as to be strictly applicable to all periods 01 commercial prosperity and depression, they dHlthlOk the Act of 1841 one most salutary in its principles, althoughone that it was not indispensable to carry into operation under allctrcums ances. hat Act had been tried at a time unprecedented for extraordi- "ary enterprise, tor unparalleled extension of trade, for general distrust, and for universal alarm and panic; therefore it could not be fairly condemned as inadequate for the general wants of the country. '1 he Right Honourable Gentleman having replied ,0lhe advocates of a depreciated currency, of a free trade In banking, and of an issue of notes at the discretion of the Bank 01 England, all of which schemes he condemned, quoted a pas- sage from Mr. Jones Loyd's pamphlet, asserting that It was im- possible to provide legislative enactments to meet cases of sudden panic, and gave that assertiou as an answer to the petition of (he London Bankers. The Right Honourable Gentleman, after pas- sing a censure on the conduct of the Bank of England for not having checked speculation sooner, turned to consider the causes of the panic. Th" causes of the panic were far more deeplv seated than on an issue of a million or two of bank notes. The causes of the pressure arose in the summer of 1846, in the ex- traordinary expenditure of capital fur corn and railways acting upon a state of unduly developed credit. The Right Honourable Geniieman proceeded to contrast the amount of accommodation given to the Bank and the amount of circulation in the hands ol the public in the year 1839—a year of severe commercial pres- sure—and the present, and thence argued that it was not to a want of bank-notes, or Bank accommodation, that the recent commercial difficulties were, attributable. He then rapidly traced the course of events up to the time when the letter of license was given to the Bank, contending that, up to October, there wa s no want of notes in the bands of the public, and no ditliculty in obtaining accommodation by those who possessed adequate security. He then went on to argue that the abstraction of avail- able capital from the legitimate and usual channels of trade had oaused the whole difficulty. The priiiie cost of the corn imported from June. 1846. to January, 1847, was £ 5,109,000; from Jan. uary, m7. to July of the same year, it was £H,IS4,OùO, and in the thr., lollowing months £ 14,240.000. The immense expendi- ture f, i ail way pm poses, coupled with this vast importation of corn, by which floating capital was abstracted from the usual commercial enterprise, were sufficient to account for the distress under which the country has suffeied. This extraordinary drain of capital had come at a time when trade was in an exceedni"ly unsound wnen parties had overstepped the due bounds^of credit, and when commercial operations were of a reckless cha- racter. In October, a material change at taken place in the aspect of commercial affairs. I he Bank had in September made ad- vances of Gover nment balances for limited periods, and in Octo- ber repayment of these advances was required, and that caused the pressuie wlncn forced the Government then, very reluctantly to interfere An adequate amount of circulation was even then in the hands of the public, but it was hoarded up throu-h fear and alarm and the Governmllt could not resist the applications made to them to do something to '• restore confidence," for that was all that was asked for. With regard to the rate of interest fixed by the Government, the rate then at Hamburgh, New York and other places was seven per rent., wluls: the rate suggested to them by men of great commercial experience was ten percent and the lowest rate suggested by any of their advisers was seven per cent. It was necessary to fix mme high rate of interest in order to limit the increased issue of notes, and eight per cent was the minimum that seemed to the Government the best rate The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded his speech by announc- ing, on the authority of his correspondents, that orders from abroad were coming into this country, that activity was springing up in the cotton trade, that symptoms of lasting improvements were observable in the manufacturing districts generally, and that the prospects of every department of trade weie brightening, ihe Bank Act of 1844 had, in his opinion, worked benefieiaifv for the geucral inteiests of the country, had brought us through the crisis, and would soon lead to the healthy revival of the supremacy of British commerce. A considerable amount oi bullion had come that day from the United States, the reserve 01 the Bank on the night befoie was 16,500.000, and the bullion in its coffers was £ 10,600,000; all apprehension, therefore, of a continuance of severe plessure was at an end and he might add, in answer to question from an lIon. Member, that it was not the intention of the Government to propose any measure on this subject. Air. J. Wilson (the editor of the Economist) moved an amend- ment, the object of which was to restrict the proposed com- mittee to an inquiry how far the recent commercial distress has been affected by the laws regulating the issue of notes. The Hon. Member, in a speech of length and fluency, urged the ne- cessity tor R ligid inquiry into the operation of the Bank Act of 1844, confidence in which was shaken hy the late interference of the Government. He considered the fundamental error of the trainers 01 the Act to have been the confounding circulation with capital, and confusing capital with bullion. He also thought that the deposits of the Bank was a suhj ct worthy of the deepest consideration—a subject much more important to the public and banners than the circulation. Air. W. Brown seconded the amendment. Mr. Thos Baring thought it was a heavy charge for the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to make against the Bank of England and the great merchants of the country generally, that they had not foreseen the coming pressure, and that they had recklessly over-traded. Did the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself fore- see the pressure, and did he not over-trade in Exchequer-bills in [he spring of the year? He charged the Bank with blunders, but lia i he not himself committed several blunders, which, had He been a small trader, wouid have put him in the Gazette ? It tlie piessure were really attributable to over-tradin in corn, as as- serted by the Right Honourable Gentleman, was the Government free bom blame, who did everything they could to persuade the mercantile community that it was impossible to procuie food for the wants of the country ? Who, too,were chargeable with the spe- culation in the colonies, if not those who urged merchants, de- spite the 'ruinous colonial policy pursued by parliament, to avder.l!ure ilia,new competition with foreigners? As to the pro- posed committee he thought it was a mere larce. The range of inquiry opened to it was so extensive, that it was impossible to say wheie it might end, and the country would be left for a year and a half suffering under all Act that had been tiled and found wanting by the country; the letter of Itcense written by the Government alone being its sufficient condemnation. For his (Mr. Baring's) part, he would not go willingly into the proposed committee without an assurance from the Government how far, in the case of a similar pressure, they would permit the crisis to advance without doing something to remedy this defective law. He bad hoped that, pending the inquiry of the committee, and until the repoit should be made, the issue of notes above the basis of fourteen millions should be left to the discretion of the Bank. He trustedjthe House would not allow the question to be shelved by agreeing to the proposed committee. Mr G. It. Ilobinson objected to the committee, that its labours would be wasted on the question of currency alone, and that its results would be unsatisfactory to ihe country. There was, in fact, no necessity 101 it, for thle Bank Act of 1844 was alieady condemned, The Hon. Member could not persuade himself that, after thirty-two years of peace, a deficient revenue and an increased income-tax were results of which combined Free Irauc and restricted currency could boast. W. Moiesworth did not believe that our pecuniary diffi- culties had been caused by a deficiency of currency, or agi',ra vated by the operation of the Bank Act he thought they had their soiuoe in over-speculation and in the reckless course pur- sued liy the great mercantile and long-insolvent houses. Mr. Cay ley could not see how the Chnnceiio) of the Exchequer could censnretbe direction of the Bank Directors, when, by the Act of 1814 itself, all direction was taken from them. Neither could he understand by what argument those very persons "ho encouraged railway competition, and called for more direct lines, could now charge railway speculators with the commercial panic. As to the denunciations hulled against the great mercantile bouses, it w.is strange, if tbey were so bug in a tottering state, that they had all failtn at the same time. This was, -at. all events a proof of some great monevtary derangement, With respect to the proposed committee, it might be moved as a go-by to the whole question; and therefore he should reserve to himself the liberty of either proposing or supporting a motion for the sus- pension of the Act of 1844, pending the inquiry. The debate was, on the motion of Mr. Biewitt, adjourned to i hursday. Lord J. H ussel, as he found no business on the paper of this day, moved the adjournment of the House to Thursday. Agreed to.

SHIPS' STOltES FOR SAILORS.— A correspondent has sent us two pieces of what had been served out as salted provisions to the crew of the ship Europe, on her last voyage from London to Quebec. Several respectable fleshers who have examined it, say it is horse flesh, but it has more the appearance of Scotch fir wood than any animal substance. It is quite hard, and the sailors who brought it home have cut out a small boat, with mast, íyarù, &C from one of the pieces. The only re- medy for this species of imposition, whether it lies with the ship-owner or the ship-store merchant, will be by legislative interference, which is certainly loudly called for, as this flag- rant instance shows.-Scotch Reformers (hizette. A consecration of a nun, accordingly to the regulations of the Koman Cat IK lie Church, took place (on Tuesday) at the cha- pel In Cliftun. the ceremony was highly interesting, and the address ot the Right Rev. the Bishop (Dr. Uliathorne) "pon the obligation of the initiated to forsake the world and todedicate herself, body and soul,to her DivneSpouse, made adt-ep impression upon a large audience. An Oxford Tractarian officiated on the occasion. It is intended, we undeistand, to erect and endow a nunnery where the chcpel is and to complete the building, the,works on which have for some time been sus. pended, as a cethedral in the same communion. It is also in- tended to establish a monastery in lie vicinity. A dreadful murder. was coinrnitfcd on the 22nd nit., on the person of a housekeeper of the chupluin in the palace of Queen (:hristina, at Madrid. The chaplain has been taken into cus- tody on suspicion of being too well acquainted with this sanguinary affair.
