MANNERS moved the addition of a clause to suspend the stamp duties on policies of insurance effected on grain-laden British ships till the Ist March, 1848. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause. After a few words from Mr. Hume, Mr. Forster, and Mr. Thernely, the clause was withdrawn, the report wen them to, and the bill ordered be read a third time em Monday edto nest. RECOVERY OF PUBLIC MONIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOU of the EXCHEQVIta, the house resolved itself into committee on the Recovery of Public Monies (Ireland) Bill. Lord CLEMENTS said he objected altogether to this bill. Perhaps these were the last words he might utter in that house and he must say that it was most unfair and unjust to house, for the repayment of those loans from a country which the government must know was in a state of bankruptcy at the present moment. He doubted whether it would he possible or practicable to pet the money back under any circumstances. The whole course of this legisla tion for Ireland was unfair and unjust in the last degree. Mr. HUME said that if the Irish members acted the part which the noble lord (Clements) appeared disposed to do, they would shut up the charity of this country. Instead of expressing his gratitude to the ministers for giving up halt the loan, he abused them for not making them a present of the whole. Such a return could only lead to the suspension of all assistance to Ireland. There was at present a very strong feeling in this country that Ireland did not pay its proportion of taaation ; and in two or three months this feeling would probably increase, seeing the returns that were made for the s mia ta n ce rendered to Ireland. Mr. P. SCROPE had no doubt that all the jobbing and misconduct amongst relief committees and at presentment sessions had arisen from a belief that the money advanced would a be required from them again. They had acted just as though they were squandering English money, and not their own. It was therefore most important to make it clearly understood by the landlords in future what propor tion of the loans of advances would be required to be repaid. Sir. J. GRAHAM thought a clear understanding most essential, both to the people of Great Britain and of Ireland. He understood that upwards of nine millions bad been advanced in the last twelve or fourteen months, of which one-half was to be coesidered is &grant, and the other halite be repaid is instalments extending over from five to ten years. With regard to this repayment, it was important that the utmost good faith should be observed ; still, however abun dant might be the next harvest, in twiny cases any repay ment in the next year would be imposaible. To meet these eases, he would give the government a discretion to defer the repayment ; but there must be a commencement of the lay ing of rates for that purpose. Lord CLEMENTS said that Ireland owed a great debt of gratitude to the munificence of the English public; but be spoke of the legislature and the government when he said they had acted imprudently. They might as well require repayment of alms from a passing beggar in the street. The government should know that it was impossible to repay these advances. Not half the land was cropped this, year; in many cues the stock had come to England; and they could not get their loan cut of the bare land. He bad said all along that this was an impracticable bill. He alluded to the provision of the Irish poor-law, which made the chair men of boards of guardians responsible for their acts before the magistrate. Were such a thing attempted in England, the government would be hurled front their seats in twenty four hours. _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed surprise at the speech of the noble lord, and said that no more unfitting opportunity could have been taken to utter such sentiments ; for the bill under discussion went to re lieve the people of Ireland from the repayment of half the advances, which bad kept thousands and thousands from starving during the past twelve months. (Hear.) He en tirely acquiesced in the view taken by the right hon. baronet opposite (Sir J. Graham), that it would be bearing too hardly on the people of Ireland to require repayment of more than half the advances. The first instalment would only be c.lled for next spring, and would not be paid till about this time next year. Calm* it was meant to repudiate repayment altogether, which he did not believe, more favourable terms could not have been granted. (Meer) It was his belief that great distress would again prevail after autumn ; but the only charge for the met taelve months would be the le vying of rates to maintain their own poor. Could it be expected that this country should exempt the Irish landlords for ever from maintaining their own poor? (Hear.) He much regretted the observations that had been made by the noble lord (Clemson), but had no doubt, notwithstanding, that the landlords generally would cheerfully make the repayments. Mr. TRELAWNY said it was aboard to suppose that the landlords could not make this repayment of four millions and a half, when the fee simple of the land in Ireland was at least eleven :zillions. He believed it was the duty of the house to enforce the repayment, even if they sold the land and the landlords along with it. (Laughter.) Considering the great distress which had prevailed in the west of Ragland in the last three months, there were good grounds for making for a grant from Ireland to relieve it--at least, the same grounds for making a grant from the public funds as existed 112 the ease of Ireland. Mr. W. PATTEN said the feelings of this country ware very acute on the subject of these advances to Ireland. The county he represented was overrun with Irish poor and disease. Liverpool alone supported .10,000 or 70,000 paapas, who ought to be supported by the Irish landlords. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the noble lord (Clements) had eapreased the feelings of his country towards England ; although his speech would undoubtedly be very injurious to his own country, in the event of another appeal, which was not unlikely, to the benevolence of England. Lord CLEMENTS said, if there was a place in the world which deserved to be taxed for the benefit of Ireland it was Liverpool, which had profited more by the Irish and by Irish distress than any place in the United Kingdom. Nearly all the money of Ireland was spent there ; it might in fact be regarded as the capital of Ireland. Mr. NEWDEGATE denied the assertion that Liverpool had profited by the Irish distress. He hoped the house would not be deterred, by such speeches as they had heard, from doing their duty to that unhappy country. He ques tioned the ability of the Irish landlords to repay these ad vances; a condition which was mainly attributable to the way in which Ireland had been treated by this country. Mr. BROTH ERTON concurred in the sentiments of the hon. member for North Lancashire (Mr. Patten). It was absurd to talk of Liverpool being indebted to Ireland ; the Irish had there found good customers for their agricultural produce. (Hear, beer.) The noble lord (Clements) had taken the worst means he could to nerve his country ; should the distress continue, there would be a strong feeling against any further advances. Sir R. FERGUSON disclaimed the speech of the noble lord (Clements) as any index to the feeling of the Irish people. He doubted not that the same regularity as had hitherto prevailed in the repayment of advances would con tinue, with the exercise of a little discretion on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He had thought of sug gesting that the payments might be a little expedited. He much regretted the express ion which the noble lord dClements) had used with regard to Liverpool, which had oubtless suffered most severely in consequence of the influx of Irish poor. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY had heard with pain the remarks of the noble lord (Clemente), and it was with much grief he had seen that many parties in Ireland, including some of the Roman Catholic clergy, had given ex pression to very bitter feelings against the government, whom sancerity in desiring to relieve Ireland could not be doubted. Mr. BROWN defended Liverpool from the charges of would, on Lord Clements, and hoped that that noble lord would, on due reflection, withdraw the amertions he had made. Lord CLEMENTS again explained, that he had meant to cast no rettexion on English benevolence. Mr. P. AlNti WORTH said he had supported the extot- sive advances made to Ireland; and while the house was liberal they ought to be just. The clause was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses, with BOHM verbal amendments, when the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. t INCLOSURE OF COMMONS. . , I Lord MORFETH brought in a bill to amend the act for i the indosare and improvement of commone, which waa read a first time. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In answer to a question from Sir J. GRAHAM, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the , .. house would meet at three o'clock on Monday, and he should move a committee of supply before the other orders, andin that committee he proposed to take the Ways and - Means. The Bishopric of Manchester Bill would certainly not come on until Tuesday, but most probably not until , Thursday next. , . The house adjourned at half-past two. .

AT the morning sitting of the House of Commons on Saturday, on the bringing up of the report on the Navigation Laws (No. 2) Bill, Lord J. MANNERS moved an additional clause, for the purpose of sus pending the stamp duties on policies of insurance effected on grain-laden British ships till the let of March, 1848.—The CHANCELLOR of the ExcßBQuEn approved of the clause, which was adopted accord ingly, and the report of the bill received. The Recovery of Public Monies (Ireland) Bill was com mitted, Lord CLEMENTS protesting that it was unfair and unjust to call for the repayment of loans from a country which was in a state of bankruptcy. After a discussion in which several hon. members took part, condemnatory of the noble lord's principle of repudia tion, the bill went through committee. The remain ing business was merely of a formal clutracter. A VERY great and very ridiculous effort is making by , certain lieutenants and certain wits of the PEEL following, to prove that they are the only lineal de- , scendants of the great tory party, that they alone , possess its shibboleth, that true tories were all along the truest reformers, that PITT, the father of toryism, was the COBDEN of his day, and that Sir ROBERT , PEEL was true to PITT and to toryism, when he went over to the opinion of COBDEN. 1 Such is the aim of the author of the able pamphlet, " The Commercial Policy of PITT and PEEL." And 1 , 1 we must say, that the effort to disprove this thesis , made by the Quarterig Review, and others, is just as ridiculous as the maintenance of the said thesis. Who, in the resent state of the world, cares for the 3 name which bir ROBERT PEEL and his party may , wear ? The true worth and virtue of that party is its namelessness—its total disjunction from the past, and freedom for the More, its " being op to any, and ; ready for everything;" its being a talented band of condottieri officers, ready to lead the popular army in , any useful campaign. The derivation of PEEL'S abandonment of the sliding scale to his respect for,or to his descendence from, PITT is certainly the most farcical bit of historical criti cism ever invented. Why, Perr in his younger days was precisely what Young England was a few years , back, a candidate for political eminence in any path , or position that was not whig. Young Peer cared little on which side of CHARLES JAMES Fox he struck forth, pros ided be rivalled , him. He began with parliamentary reform, rushed into free trade, and brought forward a Poor-law, which was not only to give out-door relief to every pauper, but was kindly to supply every peasant father of a family, that wanted it, with a cow and wherewithal to feed it. Fortunately for the country, BENTHAM laughed PITT into common sense. Never was there a wilder hunter after popular clap , traps in his younger days than PITT, and to call him a tory or a chief of toryism then, were about as just as to say that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was a radical in his last year,. One of Mr. PITT'S early ideas was to join the mer cantile classes in a crusade against the landed interest, of which the grandees were whig. But the French revolution and the hold of power soon twisted PITT round in the direction that necessity indicated, just as other causes twisted Sir ROBERT PEF:L round in a contrary direction. Both PITT and PEEL were in ' struments that felt and followed the direction and the exigencies of the times. To burden either of them with more than the necessary light weight of consis tency, which all gentlemen must carry, is absurd. We may call both of them tories, if we will ; but any other name will be just as true. Nor is this a reproach : on the contrary, it constitutes their worth. There cannot be a better sample of a young scion of the PEEL party than Mr. SMYTHE—a rare sample of recklessness, eloquence, and inconsistency. Tory in Mr. SMYTHE'S vocabulary means democrat. The war against the French revolution was undertaken in the name of the democracy. The corn-law which fol lowed it, was a development of the free-trade principles of Lord LIVERPOOL, whilst the foreign policy of Lord CASTLEREAGH was what Mr. Sac YTHE would call demo cratic. Mr. HUSETSSON'S commercial reforms were of course supported by the whole weight of the tory party, and crashed by the opposition of the whigs. Such is the unblushing way in which Mr. SMYTHE interts history. The re electors of Canterbury and of England care more, we opine, for the future than the past. And Mr. SMYTHE, on behalf of Sir ROBERT, is sufficiently explicit. He would not pay the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, because this would diminish their influence over the people. Thus, the only reason which most statesmen have for paying sectarian clergy, is Mr. SMYTHE'S reason for not doing so. The church of England he would not pay, or favour either, because such boons diminish its power and popularity. Count MONTALEMBERT and his party in Prance de mand that the clergy shall receive no salaries, because he hopes upon voluntaryism to build up the popular supremacy of the catholic priesthood. We believe that what Mr. SMYTHE proposes would be neither more nor lees than the abolition of the church of England. 11/12. SMYTHE blames the late scheme of education, as conferring obloquy on the church, and giving the dissenter, just cause of agitation. Yet Mr. SMYTHE voted for it, deeming some education better than none at all. His reasons for voting were thus the reason of all the world for supporting. But the rea sons were wrong, argues Mr. SMYTHE, for the non conformist opposition was right. This ingenious con fusion of right and wrong, of the sacredness of prin ciple and the expediency of slighting it, is certainly a specimen of PEEL On the great question of free trade, Mr. SMYTHE is, with equal ingenuity, inconsistent. Free trade is, it seems, good for en old state, bad for a young one. It is like flannel, useful for the valetudinarian, but feverish for youth. The Americans, Germans, French, and Spaniards are right in spurning free tr a de; the English alone right in espousing it. Here is a chapter of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S political economy, divulged by one of his disciples, which we re commend to Mr. COBDEN'S attention, who has been studying the excellent effect of prohibition upon infant countries. And we much fear that even Mr. COBDEN, could he admit the truth of Mr. SMYTHE'S dogma respecting infant states, would also be forced to admit, as a consequence, that the old country could not afford to persevere in a system which all other and younger countries spurned. Mr. SMYTHE, however, fully redeemed these un beralities, when he twitted Lord JOHN Ressem. with his high birth, when he declared that ' 10!. was an absurd and arbitrary limit for the franchise; and when he accused the whigs of doing everything for the people, but nothing by them. The distribution of a few under-secretaryship. to men of the people does not satisfy Mr. SHirrue. And we applaud his dissatisfaction. But we must say, that the so - to-be - desired eminence of popular men in the • cabinet, and their political influence, are not things to be wrought or conferred by the prime minister of the day. That eminence must be achieved and wrought ' by the men themselves, and by the electors them , selves. Lord Joln Reseal. is not the man to resist claims thus put forward. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 12. 1847. MOST of our readers will have been surprised and shocked at the report of • coroner's inquest, held a few days slaw at St. Thomas's Hospital, from_leltich it wile very evident that a poor child lost its life from the want of surgical amistanoe within the walls of an institution devoted to the affording of surgical relief. Flagrant as the case wee, as it appeared in our report of the inquest, it seems that our reporter erred on the side of a favourable view of the conduct of the hospital authorities, as will be seen from a letter we this day publish from Mr. DURBAN, the father of the little victim of hospital mismanage ment. Such a case is too grave to be allowed to pass without comment. If those institutions which the piety of our ancestors founded and endowed with enormous wealth for the express par- Mof affording aid to the diseased and g, cease to supply that aid, the public have a right to know the reason. Something more than the fact of the death of a child is now involved in this question. It might have been a man the father of a large family, or a more valuable mem ber of society, injured oa the Greenwich Rail way, with a wound requiring immediately that some great artery should be tied, that was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital. Yet, under its present management, or rather mismanagement, it would be a chance if he found the house-surgeon at home, or he might be met by a dresser, who would say, " Your life would undoubtedly be saved by an operation ; but although I am in charge of the hos pital I am only a dresser, and ft is against the rules of the hospital for any but surgeons to perform operations." Now, we do not say that it may not be very right to forbid young men in their pupilage to perform operations ; but we do say that it is a most monstrous thing and an unwarrantable perversion of the objects of the charity, that one of the largest hospitals of the metropolis should be habitually left without an officer capable of performing an operation. For it appears, that although in our report Mr. TRAVERS, who resides in the hospital, is called house-surgeon, he is not so, bat "simply a resident at the hospital." In what capacity Mr. 'fitAvetre resides at the hospital we are at a loss to discover, from his letter to us, and must put the question as to whether any surgeon could take up his quarters there, and obtain ' full per mission to practice," and follow his "ordinary profes sional avocations abroad." We have said before, that under these circumstances we do not attach blame to Mr. TRAVERS; but we fear that in this instance of neglect we have an illustration of what might occur in many of our Londos. hospitals. The surgeons and assistant surgeons are not required to lice in the hospital, and to attend by rota tion, but are sent for on emergencies, and during the greater part of the twenty-four hours no person competent to perform the capital operations of surgery are to be found within their walls at all. Such an abuse as this must at once be exposed and remedied. In every hospital there should be an officer constantly present com petent to meet all the emergencies of ordinary cases; and, in order to secure his constant ser vices, he should be strictly forbidden to prac tice for his own benefit, and be paid ac cording to the sacrifice he makes. The system of receiving the gratuitous services of medical men has, we believe, led to a fearful amount of neglect of duty in our hospitals and dispensaries. In many instances young men are induced to give their services more for the sake of the name than the objects of the institution, and the consequence is, that as their services are gratuitous, the governors or committee have little or no control over them. In most of our London hospitals and medical institutions there are funds enough to remunerate amply a sufficient num ber of medical officers to attend to the duties demanded of them, and that is but a bastard hospital charity that would, for the sake of increasing the number of its beds, diminish the efficiency of its medical and surgical attendance. 'inlets we obtain some satisfactery explanation of the circumstances that occurred at St. Thomas's Hoe- pital, and feel assured that the same tragedy could not occur in any other of our London hospitals, we shall not let the matter rest here, but proceed to make those inquiries which our duty to the public demands, and the result of which we shall not shrink from making known. The management of our London hospitals has long been too little amenable to public opiai.m. The interests of a few favoured physicians or surgeons are consulted to the exclusion of the welfare of the sick poor, and suffering humanity is made to pay the price of the bargain struck between scheming prac titioners of the healing art. WE have been reminded in several letters that the claims of the Spanish bondholders form a subject which an English journal should not neglect. tVe admit the full justice of the reminder, but are at a loss to perceive how the agitation of these claims is likely to be serviceable to them at the present mo ment. Parliament is expiring. The subject is not one calculated to influence votes upon the hustings; and the voice of the English press thunders against the Spanish government for misdeeds and blunders far more serious than repudiation of debt, and with wonderfully little effect. Lord PALMEBSTON, indeed, has gratified the bond holders, or their committee, by a thundering speech on the subject We doubt, however, that this speech has advanced their cause. The bondholders demanded of our Foreign Secretary some threat that govern ment would take their cause in hand. Lord PAtmeit srox, in reply, denied that he could take any such step, or make any such declaration, whilst to make a declaration to the contrary would damage their cause. In his speech, Lord Pstmensvor4 took the middle path: the British government, he said, could not take 111:0 the cause of the bondholders in act, but in word the Foreign Secretary laid it very severely upon all Spanish governments and finance ministers, past and present, in a manner likely to gall Castilian pride. Some negotiations lately took place with Spanish ministers, in which Senhor P.teneco, the chief of those ministers, threatened intervention in Portugal without us, and bullied with such success, that the British governmentadmits its having been intimidated, and its having acted through fear of this Spanish in tervention. Now, here was a provocation which might have called forth all our Foreign Secretary's thunder ; all his fortiter in re. We find, however, that the British government on that occasion indulged in nothing but courtesy and submission to Spain. But now, when the case of the bondholders is brought forward, of which nothing immediate or positive can come, all the thunder, which was smothered on the subject of intervention, breaks forth, and rolls a bregum fulnren over the heads of Spanish statesmen. We ahouldprefer seeing these two different linesof conduct reversed. When the independence of Portugal was threatened, then was the time to talk big ; When we were urging the settlement of an old debt, we should have tried the smaller. Lord PAtweesTorr said very justly, that the great obstacle to Spanish financial reform, and to the Spanish government paying English creditors, was France. France will permit no favours to be shown by a Spanish government to England—will permit no justice to be observed. That we believe to be the tree state of the case, and we fear that as long as the antagonism subsists between France and England in the Peninsula, so Meg must the Spanish bondholders do without their money. To liberate Spain and Spaniards from the yoke of France is no easy task. But of this we are certain, that the very best mode of rendering that yoke eternal, and of throwing Spain altogether into the arms of France, is to utter such diatribes against Spain and Spaniards as that which excites so much general satisfaction amongst our co temporaries. On Friday and Saturday the public attention in Paris was a lm ost exclusively engrossed by the events which are successively developed in the judicial in quiry held before the Court of Peers. On the after noon of Thursday, at the close of the sitting of that day, MM. Cubieree, Testa, and Parmentier, were left at large, the application of the Procureur-Genkral for their arrest having been limited to M. Pellagra, who had absconded. At a late hour in the evening, however, most unexpectedly, a warrant was sent by , the chancellor to the authorities at the bureau of police, to effect the immediate arrest of the persons of the three accused, and to commit them to the prison of the Court of Peers at the Luxembourg. commissaries of police were accordingly sent to the residences of the parties respectively, and their persons taken. No accommodation having been pro vided in the prison of the Luxembourg, they were conducted to the Conciergerie, where they were locked up. It transpired, on Friday, that this proceeding was adopted in consequence of some further documentary evidence which had reached the chancellor in an ex traordinary manner. It that copies ors corn stuel d ence between MM. ateres and Pella were in the hands of the chancellor by M. Loon de Maleville, vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies, who declared that he had received them from M. Armand Marraat, the chief editor of the National, but how the latter person became possessed of them M. Leon de Maleville did not profess to know. On being called before the committee of the chamber, M. Mar rast said that he wee shown the original letters of ' which he made the copies, in his, confiden tial relation as a journalist, and declined to say by whom he was shown them, but affirmed in the strongest manner their authenti city. He suppressed this information until he saw by the publiseed proceedings that its production was essential to the due course ofjuatice. He then, con sulting with M. de Maleville, concurred in the mea sure taken by that deputy. 'These documents go to exculpate General Cubieres from the charge of fraud, and leave the question of guilt between MM. Pella pa and Teste. Gen. Cubieres admitted the exactness of the copies of letters produced by M. Marrist. The report of the proceedings in the Court of Peers will be found in another column. M. Teste, previous to the trial, gave up the insignia of all his honours in the hands of Louis Philippe. The proposed law for a loan of fourteen millions sterling, was discussed in the bureaux on Friday. All the members of the committee were agreed as to granting the required authorisation, although some difference prevailed as to matters of detail. No doubt exists that the entire loan will be immediately authorised. The grand reform banquet took place in the gar dens of the Chateau Rouge on Friday evening. At eight o'clock, above a thousand persons sat down to dinner. Speeches in favour of electoral and parlia mentary reform were delivered by MM. lluvergier d'Hauranne, Odillon Barret, de Lasteyrie, and Gustave de Beaumont. The Marseillaise hymn was several times repeated, and a variety of popular toasts drunk. The absence of MM. Thiers, de Remu sat, Arago, Ledru Rollin, and other opposition chiefs, was a subject of much comment. The King of the Belgians was expected in Paris yesterday (Sunday) evening. MADRID, JULY 5. The Correo's article on the palace question has been followed by much noise. The composition is attri buted to Pacheco, and the answers to it seem to be aimed particularly at him. The positions taken up by the Gorreo may be stated briefly thus : —l. The springhead of matrimonial discord was the neglect of the contrivers of the marriage to define the rights of the King Consort by clear and decisive capitulations. 2. The palace question has been a question of autho rity, and only that. 3. The dissensions of the royal couple broke out during the Sotomayor ministry ; but that ministry attempted to resolve the question in a wrong way, by espousing the pretensions of the King Consort, which were to dispose of the royal patri mony, and to be head of the palace, that is, the Queen's master. In answer to these assertions, Mon and Fidel, and the members of the Sotomayor cabinet, have published in the Faro of yesterday letters signed with their names, denying positively that the King Consort put forth any such pretensions as are attri buted to him by the Correo, and denying d fortiori that they ever backed that person in such extravagant demands. The Faro does the rest of their work, and holds in terroreon over the Correa the awful alterna tive of a prosecution for libel by the former ministers unless it retracts. All this protestation and fulmina tion has not prevented the mass of the people from believing that, in the main, the Orrea is exact. No body acquainted with affairs entertains any doubt whatever but that the King's pretensions were ac itually such as they are represented by the Correo. At the same time, everybody knows that the exagge ration of these pretensions, and their espousal by the ministry of the Duke of Sotomayor, was not the only cause, if any part of the cause, of the fall of that ministry ; although the Correo would lead you to this conclusion. It is unnecessary to recall a story fresh in everybody's recollection. It was not for espousing the pretensions of the King, but for )10e espousing the pretensions of General Serrano that the Sotomayor ministry was dismissed. To-day the supplement of the Correo has published a supplement to its article, which contributes some additional facts to the history of the matter. It admits that the reason why capitulations were not made, was because it appeared derogatory to the dignity of the crown that such should be proposed between the Queen and a subject. But the Queen made a declaration in favour of her future husband, in which, setting forth that the command of the palace and royal patrimony were inseparable from the crown, she made him an allowance of 30,000 dollars a year. If the Queen died, the widowed King was to get the sixth part of her personal property. Upon this the Correo remarks that the present ministry have offered the King Consort the settlement of a pension of 40,000 and more pounds sterling, instead of the miserable 30,000 dollars; and reproaches the Mon-Pidal set with their inconsistency, in first opining, when in office, that any capitulations settling the position of the prince consort, were an act of too great condescension on the part of the crown, while they now seek to swell his authority. Meantime, the Espanol of Saturday came out with an answer to the Con•eo's article, which contained a most important disclosure. It attributes the fall of the Sotomayor ministry to the treachery of a person, who, although not mentioned by name, has been generally understood to be Senor Salamanca. It says, that this person, having been employed by the Sotomayor cabinet as mediator between the King and Queen, equally deceived the confidence of all parties ; and availed himself of the possession of a secret to aggravate the dissensions he was employed to con ciliate, and to upset the ministry, which made use of his services. I mentioned the other day that it was generally believed that Salamanca had succeeded in obtaining a loan from an English house. The Fare contains some particulars concerning the conditions of this loan, which are generally believed to be correct. The house is Smith and Co., but the transaction is done in the name of the Union Bank of Madrid. The loan is 100 millions of realm, about a million sterling. It is to be advanced upon the security of a fresh issue of exche quer bills, payable within a given date, and bearing an interest of 9 per cent.; commission, 3 per cent. The money will be given in bills upon London at four months' date, which will have to be discounted at a lose. Such, says the Faro, is the upshot of the dissolu tion of the contract with the Bank of San Fernando. Instead of paying 0 per cent. upon anticipations of the revenue, the government will have to pay, at this rate, at least 14 per cent. TRIAL OF GENERAL CUBIERES, M. TESTE, AND M. PARMENTIER. COURT OF PRERs, JULY 9.—The court assembled, according . to adjournment, at 12 o'clock. M. de la Cheri niere, principal registrar, commenced the proceedings by reading a document, to the effect that " on the Bth inst., Duke Pasquier, Chancellor of France, received M. Ikon de Malleville, member of the Chamber of Deputies, who deli vered to him six documents to be added to those already produced in the process now pending before the Court of Peer'. M. de Malleville stated that he had received them from M. Armand Marred, the chid editor of the National, adding that he was completely ignorant of the manner in which M. Manuel had obtained them. M. Merest, on being called in before the oommiseion, deposed, after being shown the documents, that they were the same that he had entrusted to M. Leon de Malleville, and were all of them copied with his own hand. On being asked where be procured the originals of these documents, he begged leave to decline answering, as he could not do so without betraying the confidence placed in him as an editor of • journal. He declared upon his honour that he believed in the authenticity of them. The documents were com municated to him, and appeared to him to be so important that he refused re stir before be had taken capita of them. After having read the report of M. Renouard, with the inter. rogstories and the documents of the process, he remarked void. which were completely filled up by the notes he had in hi; hands. Some time afterwards, finding himself in a group of deputies, who maintained that the accusation of fraud still subsisted, he had been iaduced to talk of the information be possessed. M. de Malleville, one of the depu ties present. called upon him to produce proofs, end he en trusted to hint the copies he had taken. After the flight of M. Pallapra, it appeared to both M. Malleville and him that they ought not to hesitate in delivering the copies' up to the Chancellor. On the 9th July, General Cubieree, ts whom the documents were read, recognised the copies as being conformable to the originals. The Chancellor then proceeded to the examination General Deepens-Cabling!, who, in answer to the questions put to him, ;aid that he dist an interist in this 'mines of Uouhenans in 1839. He bad been proposed aa a candidate for the department of the Hants.ftaline, end this led to his vintina the department, on which occasion he took an in terest in the mines of Gouhenans. He had no relations with M. Testa, Minister of Public Works, nor did he behave that he had seen him more than once on the affair of Gouhenans, with respect to which M. Peilaves took several measures. When the affair of Goithenans presented itaelfas a demand for a concession, it attracted the attention of some persons who appeared to take a great interest In it, and who offered their services or their mediation, by emaciating themselves with it. In the number of means of success spoken of, they pointed out to him the influence which they might have on the administration before which competitors might present themselves, and adding that they were enabled to secure the means of the affair by menu plaoed in their hands. The mesas indicated were liable to reproach, since they were destined to lead to a fact which would have been censurable, but which did not take place. With regard to the influence intended to be used be would be silent. That influence was to be exercised by interesting some influ ential persons by making them obtain shares at moderate prices. It was alts decided that 2.5 new shares should be created in addition to the 500 already existing. The inter rogatory then goes on as follows :—Of what nature were the sacrifices required of you ? What you have said on this paint is not conclusive, and does not explain all your thoughts. There is a passage often cited in one of your letters, which, emanating from such a man as you, is of immense gravity— it is that in which you say " We must procure an interested supporter: power is now in greedy and corrupted hands." Explain yourself on these expressions—The letter of which you 'mask is a perfectly confidential letter. I endeavoured to make M. Parmentier understand that supporters were accessary to surmount the obstacles, and I wrote under the impression of those difficulties. If I had pronounced those words in public, I might have been celled on for proofs; but in writing to a partner, confidentially, I expressed my impressions toe strongly, perhaps, from not fore seeing tnc use which has been made of my words. Oae of the intermediary agents was M. Pellapra. In speaking of sacrifices proportioned to the support obtained, he proposed to interest in their proceedings some active and intelligent agents by giving them a part in the products of the enterprise. That in order not to engage any one, there should be two contracting parties, M. Parmentier and him self, and an intermediary. That the intermediary was M. Pellapra. There could be no other contracting party, he cause the necessary resources could not be disposed of. The Chancel). r said that he knew there were at that time no resources ; but, to create them, a deed of sth February divided the property of the mines of Gouhenans into 525 sharer, and placed 25, or more, if necessary, at the disposal of General Cubieree and M. l'armentier, for the welfare and improvement of the establishment, without obliging them to give an account of them. The deed containing these stipu. Wiens was read. The Chancellor then reads letter, dated 3rd Feb. 1842, from General Cubieres to M. Parmentier, sating forth that he estimated the value of each share at 8 00 f.,: in which ease it would only be necessary to sacrifice 25 ; but if each share were only animated at 600 E, the sacrifice would have to be 35 ; and he said that that indicated a commencement of corruption. Gen. Cseieres replied that that was the natural consequence of the idea which he had accepted, that it was necessary to make a sacrifice. In consequence of his (Gen. Cubieres') representations, objects of value were remitted to him destined to procure the interested supporters of whom he spoke. By a deed of Feb. 5, 1842, 25 shares were placed at the disposal of M. Pannentier and himself. The idea which caused them to be so placed not having been carried into effect, he believed it useless to name the peewee en whom he counted for their influence as intermediaries. That he wrote to M. Parnientier, telling him to press on the affair, and representing that as more shares were demanded, it would he necessary that he should endeavour to obtain 50 shares ; thst be (enhance) bad already promised 30 ; and that from the manner in which he was spoken to, it was impossible to treat for less than 45. That the persons he re ferred to pretended to possess the means of acting usefully in relation to the ministers who had to treat the affair. He counted on no minister, but on the mediation of persons with whom he was iu relation, and who were to actin their interest. After some further questions of no importance, the chancellor, referring to • letter written to Panneritier, in which men tion was made of a M. T—, asked what person was designated by that initial? M. Cubieres replied: M. Tease. He added, that by the initial M. H— he meant M. Hu mane, and that in stating that, he had been told that certain measures had received their execution, he meant that. he had been , old that by M. Tette. The person designed by the initial T-- fir 15 shares, in a note found in his pep( rs, was M. Test* ; and the initial C—, for ten shares, meant himself. . . . A deed was next read, setting forth that twenty-five shares of the company, representing 160,0001., had been placed in the hands of M. Coln;ire', and that M, and Mme. Paulsen tier had transferred twenty-five other shares to M. Cubii:res, fur which he gave an acknowledgment for the additional sum of 100,000 f. The Chancellor observed, that in one of his letters the general said he had been to the Ministry of Public Works, and Mine. Teste had informed him that the minister would return on the IFith of July. The Chancellor added, that he had also given confidential details of what had passed in the office of Public Works and in the Conseil des Mines. . _ General Cubieres said, all this information had been sup• plied by M. Pellapra. IC Testa wished to asks question. Whether the general was sure that atter his departure Mme. Teste told hon that he should be absent only ten or twelve days?—General Cubieres : I cannot state positively the number of days.— M. Teste : I have only one word to say. Mme. Testa wont with me to Holm, as will be proved. The Chancellor here observed to General Cubieres that he had taken an active part in the negotiations, and that the whole of his contluct showed that he was on terms of great intimacy with M. Tote, and that the latter had manifested a truly extraordinary zeal for the interests of the general. —General Cubieres replied that the interest was natural, as the affair was in the department of which M. Teste was minister. Questions were then put to General Cubieres u to the 100,000 fr. said to have been given by him to M. Pella pra.—General Cubieres acknowledged that M. Pellapra told im he had given this money to AL Tote. The Chancellor then said t' M. Tote: You have heard the reply, and all that has been said. Ido not put any ques tion to you, but I invite you to explain yourself.-Id. Testa said that a question put in this direct manner would demand the development of an entire system. At that moment he could only give a formal denial to all that had been said. He entreated the court to allow the interrogation of M. de Cubieres to be completed, or to permit him to plead immediately. A machination had been got up against him. M. de Cubieres repelled the idea of having taken part in any machination. Far from having wished to injure any person, he had been the only victim. M. Pellapra assured him that he t.ave 100,000 f. to M. Teste. M. Testel. adjure General Cuhieres to answer one (Ines. tion. He declares now that M. Pellapra told him he bad given me a considerable sum of money. How was it that he, my colleague, did not come and speak to me, and give me the means of arriving at the source of his information ? and why, instead of the disclosure which now takes place, did he not come to me and inform in. of what had been stated to him ?—General Cubieres: lam asked why I did not go to M. Teste and apprise him of what Al. Pellapra had told me. I should have been ashamed to do so. The Procureur•General made art appeal to the honour of _ . - and p• General Cubieres, and abjured him ti; se sincere, .-41 produce the proofs which no doubt he had in his hands.—The Chan cellor earnestly entreated General Culehlres not to conceal the papers which were of a nature to justify himself, adding —" Reflect, you have the papers, and I abjure you to pro duce them at tomorrow's sitting."—General Cubieres ' I will pay attention to this warning." The Chancellor then proceeded to the interrogatory of M. Parmentier, who said he thanked General Cubieres for having said M. Teste was not corrupted, for that con firmed what he had always thought on the matter. He then entered into long explanations to prove that everything had warranted him in believing that General Cubieres in tended to obtain possession of part of the property of the company of Gouhenans, without ever having the intention to corrupt any one, and that for his part he had only acted passively,. pretending to believe all that General Cubierte toad him in order not to compromise the success of the affair. General Cubieres did not owe him an account of the em ployment of the funds, such as a clerk owes to his muter; but he was to employ them for the interest of the company —though by that corruption was not meant. No one be- Rued in corruption. (Interruption.) He had never be lieved. it. (Renewed interruption.) If writing letters, subjected him to the charge of corruption, that proved that he had acted with goad faith , and had taken no pre cautions. If he had written threatening rs ‘ lette, demanding • large sum of money from General Cubieres, it was because he did not believe in corruption. On this subject he entered into very long details, and was still proceeding at half-put 6 o'clock, when the chamber adjourned. 10.—The court assembled at kalf-put 12. The letters, copies of which had been furnished by M. de Make- Tillie, were produced in court by Gen. Cubieres and read. To these were joined two answers from M. Pellapra. Brame parts of these new letters strongly accuse M. Tate, but the answers of M. Pellapra do not mention his name. M. Couson, advocate, stated to the court that the copies of these letters were furnished to M. Marrut by him, and that they formed part of • set of papers which had been placed in his hands, and were to be introduced into a paper which he was to have written. In producing them ho only wished to says the honour of teen. Cubieres. H. Teste war then examined : His interreptory bore chiefly upon the correepondence of General Cubieres with M. Parmenuer, the improbabilities of which he sought to bring forward. He also spoke much of the want of caution and credulity of General Cubieres, whose good faith be did not doubt, The general then got up, and persisted in his state ment that he had never made any proposal of corruption to M. Teste, but merely repeated in his correspondence what M. Pellapra bad told him. N. Delangle, procureur-general, hereupon got up, and said, addressing M. Teste, "it is evident then, that M. Pellapra Ins carried on an infamous system of swindling." H. Testa replied emphatically that he did not accuse auy one. The Chancellor and H. Delangle then urged upon General Cabieres the necessity of his telling the whole truth, as he hail only stated part of it to them. They pressed him to explain, unless he wished to be considered as the ac complice of a swindler (Pellapra), but the general declared that he had believed in the OfterdiCtS made by M. Pellapn for the corruption of the ministry, but that he never had proofs of Tote then rose, and was speaking when post left. GOREE.—The French vessel Jenne Raymonde, which reached Ilene on the morning of the 10th, brings intelligence from Gores to the 19th of May. It was known there that several French missionaries were kept in irons in the states of the King of Cayor. It was not known what steps would be taken in the matter by the French authorities. COLONIAL WEST INDlES.—GulsrrA.—The events of the fortnight ending June 9, are summed up almost in the procrothngs of the Combined Court and the Court of Policy. The session of the former wee likely to be prolonged for some weeks. The estimates were finally passed on {Pedan t . day, the 2nd of June. They do not tall much non • 1,100,000 dollars—a considerable increase upon last yeas.,, The object of this augmented public expenditure is to gin additional efficaey to several departments of public mini m, to organise a police, promote sub-soil drainage, the eeamne. Lion of roads and bridges, and other useful objects. j a ilea cause of education the court has evinced a great AM wise liberality. 7001. per annum has been voted ea a salary to any inspector of schools it may N oes her Majesty to appoint, and the court has exorcised its rea diness to furnish the necessary fund, for all reasonable plan devised by the new functionary for the instruction of th e lower orders. On the motion of the lion. Peter Rose, f t was resolved to institute circuit courts of the supreme nil. minal court of George Town, on the mainland of Essequib o. The chapter of ways and means remained to be opened what the mail was despatched. It was thought that new imposts would be require 3 , . inasmuch as there was a fallieg-ny is import duties during the first quarter of 1817 as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1816. In the Coa t i of Policy two bills had been introduced (one by m e Attorney. General, the other by the lion. P. Rose) to mead the law relative to the arrest of debtors about to lean the colony. As the law etandi, an order of arrest is grant e d against any alleged debtor on the creditor (or pretending creditor) simply going before a , judge and making oath that he " has reasonable cause to believe ' that the party intends to quit the colony. " The grievance of this is," says the Gittaaa Royal Gazelle, " that in, at least, two cases out of the four, the victim of the laws is unjustly deprived of his liberty, and never had the slightest intention of quitting th e colony." At New Amsterdam, Berbice, the shops of th e Portuguese immigrants had been broken into and phi n . dered ; and the sheriff was obliged to call in the aid of the 3rd West India Regiment. The Munn from which we have quoted above, thus accounts for the ebullition ;—" The prosperity of the Portuguese so neap and in some instances larger traders has excited the ill will of many of the less fortunate creoles." We fear the inn. diary harahgra of some popularity (or money) hunt* preachers is in great part to blame. Their declamation against the immigration of labourers could scarcely lail to lead to such results. The chief justice was to lease the colony for England by the next packet. It was understood that he would merely proceed to Europe on leave of absence, but his advanced years and indifferent health had raised ao. expectation that this migh. be merely a step to resigning The weather had been extremely wet for a few days before the despatch of the mail, and the heavy rains were expected to continue for some time.
