The troop occupied the principal place in the town on Saturday night-800 men were in the Hotel de Ville. The provisional committee at Limoges, at the head of which is placed the Avocat Bas (celebrated as the defender of Madame Laffarge), continues to adminis ter the department. The proclamations issued in its name bear the word " Fraternite." The committee has adopted the most energetic measures to maintain order. It bad organised a garde rnubile of 200 men. Order prevailed on Saturday, but there was the greatest excitement, and deplorable events were feared. We have received the Madrid mails to the 26th of April. The Spanish government have, it is understood, already repented of the affront which they offered to the English minister, and made proposals of repara tion, which, however, were not such as ho thought proper to accept. Meanwhile instructions arc awaited from Lord Palmerston. - Mutiny, Aran. 26.—Three per tents., 211 paper; Mee per Cants., 131 paper; Passives, 6 paper; Coupons, 9 paper; Bank or el.

An affair had taken place at Clils between a party of about 1000 Austrians and a body of 160 Piedmontcse under Capt. Scott i, who, reinforced by some corps of volunteers, succeeded in making his re treat. The Austrians were left in possession of the bridge of Mosticciolo. The l'iedmoutese army extends from Lu gano, near Peschiera, to Poszolengo,Ponti,and Monzain bano, on the right of the Mincio ; on the left, from Valeggio and Borghetto up to the centre of the Province of Verona. Several thousand Swiss, it is said, have arrived at I'ozzolo. Advices from Modena of the 2:lnd announce that a republican movement having been foreseen the day before, a demonstration in favour of Charles Albert took place, sanctioned by the unanimous approbation of the people. The civic guard was to march out the next day to meet the Piedmon tews troops, who were expected there, and fraternise with them. The Venetian papers of the 21st give the following from Trento, of the 16th ult. This day twenty one prisoners of the Italian free corps were shot in the ditch of the castle called the Cervara. We learn from Trieste that tho Count do liarlig, who had been sent by the Emperor of Austria into Lombardy to attempt to induce the people to return to their alle giance to Austria, has issued a proclamation, in which he states, iu the name of the Emperor, that, if the Italians will remain connected with Austria, their nationality shall be recognised, and they shall have all the political acd other advantages and privileges which they had demanded before the revolution, with a free peas, and every kind of liberty. We have received a letter from our correspondent at Constantinople, dated the 17th ult., which con firms the report that we gave exclusively oa Satur day, of a revolt in Moldavia. Letters from Galata state that on the 9th of April Jcssy was the scene of terrible disorder. It appears an attempt was made at a revolution, and the lives of the Prince and his family were in danger. Late on the night of the 14th sixteen of the most respectable boyards of the town, who had taken part in the revolt at Jcssy, were brought to Galata pri-oners, under a strong escort. Amongst them are the Prince Aleco Morons!, and lee boyards Cusa, Filipesco and Kanter. Almost all the prisoners are wounded, and some of theta dangerously. Russia had offered its intervention in case of any further breaking out, and it was understood that the offer had been accepted. NEWS FROM PARIS. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. PROPOSED FORM OF GOVERNMENT. PARIS, MONDAY, 1O A.M. The Provieional Government held a council yester day, at tee Ministry of Public Works, to decide on some of I lie preliminary arrangements for the opening of the assembly. Some doubt had previously ex- ieted, as I intimated in former letters, whether it might not be necessary to adjourn the opening to Friday the sth. The state of the new building, how ever, on inspection yesterday, was found to be such that no doubt remained of its being perfectly ready for the aesembly on the 4th. Au official notice was therefore published this morning by the questora of the Lee chamber that the representatives elected should present themselves at their bureaux furnished with their certificates of election and " aetes " of birth, on presenting which they will severally receive i a ticket to facilitate their admission to the chamber. It is understood that the senior representative, ac-' cording to former usage will take the chair, and that the Provisional Government, through the organ of its president, will inaugurate the assembly by an ad- 1 drew After which the assembly will proceed to what is called here the verification of powers, in': other words, to ascertain the identity of the indi viduals claiming to be representatives, with those really thee:el, and the validity of the elections. This proceed will of course take place in a number of com mittees into w hick the assembly will be resolved. One of the first questions to be decided will be the mode of filling the vacancies produced by multiple returns; thus, M. de Latuartine being returned for upwards of a dozen departments, will select one and vacate the rest. Will the vacancies thus produced be filled by the candidates who stood next in order ou the several polle, or must new elections be held? This is a questicn which the assembly will have to decide. We hate indirect evidence that the assembly will moist of a large majority against those opinions with which the leaders of the ultra-democratic party are itentified. This evidence consists in the bitter vexation expressed by the Minister of the Interior, his partisans, and his organs at the result of the elec tion% The numerons commisearie a which he has spread over the departments supply him et ilt Imel information as to the charaeter of the eucceosful can didates, which is accessible to no other person, and we find the effect of this information to be midis sembled vexation. The erand national fete which was intendei to have token place on Thursday, the 4th, is postponed to the 10th. It is understood that the decree recalling General Cavaignac from Algiers, has originated in the fact that M. Arago fieds the management of the Ministry of War in practicable from want of professional knowlvige, and government hopes, when General Cavai e nae is present in Paris, to overcome his 1 scruples which they cannot surmount at a distance. Up to last night Government had received by tele• graph and otherwise, the returns of 52 dep ertments. M. niers has not been elected ; MM. de Remusat and Leon de .Malleville have been returned for the department of the Upper Garoune. three prelates have been returned for the Assem bly : the Archbishop of Paris is returned for Aveyron ; I I the Bishop of Orleans, for Lozerre ; and the Bishop of Qeimuer, for Furisterre. I am informed in a quarter which is entitled to much confidence that the moderate majority of the Provisional Government led by M. de Lamartine will wpose to the assembly the constit u ti on o f a repu bli c , ith a single chamber and a president. As a suhsti lute for the retarding action of a senate, or second chamber, it is proposed that the presieLnt shall be invested with a suspensive veto, to be valid for three months, after why h, should the chamber not revoke or modify the act upon which the veto has been laid, it will become law. The government entertains a confident expectation that a republic constituted on these bases will be accepted by the Cbember, and that the qp.sii,m will he settled wit!.out much dc'ay or even discueeien. The duration of the tenure of the 1 presidency is not yet settled, but it may he regarded ea certain that M. do Lamartinc will be the first President. 'II , tame state of uneasiness among the public which I here tn"ntioned in my recent tette rs con tinues. 'there is an apprehension amounting almost to a conviction, and among many well-informed per ems altogether to a conviction, that there will be another struggle in the streets. The party, it is slid, who aeeomp!ished the revolution of February, will not marr the trans •-f it to be snetelted without resist ance front their lips, and that such would bo the case tram maj ,, rity of the assembly just elected should be Permitted to carry out i ts v i ews. ' Le te d ' me ask you ( sa id an i n t e lli gent an d dispos e hame:ter to me yesterday) whether you can 'lame to me from your personal knowledge one sin ,,l't republican in France? Ido not (c o ntinued he) I_4lrait those to be republicans who accept a republic r a ne re expediency in the absence of any ether 1 R'm of government at this moment possible.

I am enabled to send you the full programme of the proceedings on the occasion of the opening of the National Assembly on Thursday - , which has not yet been published here, but which will appear in the 3loniteur of to-morrow. It is as follows : REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE. MEEK'S!, EGALITE, FRATERNITE. - - - - - • In the name of the French people, the Provisional Government decrees ; 1. On the 4th of May, at neon, the representatives of the people will assemble in the hall of their as sembly, at the Palace of the National Assembly. 2. At one o'clock precisely the members of the Provisional Government and the Ministers will enter the hall. 3. The President of the Provisional Government will deliver an address to the representatives. He will then call to the provisional bureau, as president, the senior member of the Assembly, and as secre taries the six junior members. 4. Tee Assembly thus constituted provisionally, will be requested by the Preseicnt to retire to their bureaux 14 the verification of powers. 5. The Assembly will be resolved into 18 bureau; each to be composed of 50 members, taken on the general list, in alphabetical order, from the depart ments which have elected them. G. Each bureau will have the verification of the powers of 50 members; so that the 18 bureaux will vet ify 900 elections. 7. The pi-aces rerbaux of elections submitted to each bureau will be classed according to departments, and in alphabetical order, so that no bureau will have to decide on any of the elections in which its own members will be named. 8. lf, by reason of double or multiple elections, some representatives are found in a bureau which has to decide on their own elections, they will on that election be deprived of the privilege of vote. 9. If this distribution of pesters verbaux by depart ments reduces to less than fifty, or more than that number, the elections to be verified, the bureaux will verify such prates rerbaux as may be referred to them. 10. Each proves verbal will be examined by a com mittee of three, chosen by lot. 11. At three o'clock the session will he resumed ; the uncontested elections will be reported ; and the eke tions which may give place to discussion will be only reported after the definitive constitution of the as sembly. 12. The assembly will pronounce the validity of the elections, and the president will proclaim the re ' preventatives whose powers have appeared valid. 13. When the representatives thus proclaimed shall amount to GOO at least, the assembly will proceed to the election of a president. 14. For this purpose the president will draw, by lot, nine sections of ecrutatore, each roneisting of three members. Each representative will write his vote on paper. One of the secretaries will call the names of the member& Each representative celled will receive from one of the members of the bureau a " bout') do controls," and will deposit his bulletin in the urn upon the tribune, and the " boulc de con troule " in an urn placed on the secretary's deck. 13. The secretaries having aseertained the reveller of votes given, and checked them by the " they will then divide the votes in nir.c baskets, each section of scrutatere taking charge of one basket, which they will examine, and transmit the result to the first section, who will make the final examination. 16. These operations will be public, and the I president will proclaim the result. 1 1 17. If no representative obtains 461 votes, the operation will be repeated. 18. The member who obtains most votes will be Proclaimed presidents P.:. The preside nt will then elect, by scrutiny of list, nit vice-presidents, six secretaries, and three questore. 20. In case of equality of votes, the senior to be preferred. 21. The president, vice-presidents, and secretaries to be named for six mouths ; quebtora for the ses sion ; and other nominations for the whole duration of the assembly. 22. The provisional president to proclaim succes sively the names of those elected, and to call the defi nitive president to the chair. The latter to call the other officers. 23. The presilent will rise and say, " Representatives of the People,—ln the name of the republic, ens and indivisible, the National Assem bly is definitively constituted.—Vive la Republique!" 24. The President of the Provisional Government will deliver an address on the situation of the country on the ?4th of Fe bemire -n4 en the 4th of May. In the twee , i; , Ile will tee- re-ien inte the hands of the assembly the powers which had teen conferred on them by the acclamations of the people. 25. Each minister will then deliver a report of his acts up to the 4th of May. The Minister of the Interior has published the fol lowing bulletin, dated the 29th : "When the tongue of the republic stings you," said J. P. Richter, " console yourself by this reflection, that wasp. do not choose the worst fruits.' The experience of life proves each dry how true is this idea, expressed in so original a manner by one of the greatest German writers. Yes, it is the best fruit that insects seek without ceasing, and with avidity ; yea, it is the citizens that have beat served the holy cause of liberty and democracy, which ere exposed to the most cruel, the meat bitter attacks, end often by those who, in the days of the struggle, crisis, or denim, they have taken under the pro tectou of their po:mlarity in proclaiming in advance the principles of union, concord, and fraternity. In the midst of the most severe shocks, of thy greatest political tempest of modern times, not a drop of blood has flowed after the change of fortune, as rapid as decisive, brought about by a struggle of a few hours. Au immense population, still intoxicated with the smell of powder and the extasies of triumph, quitted its barricades, put down its arms, and resumed its work at the first request of men who still enjoy it. conflence. The greatest toleration has existed for all. The eleLtion., this proof so complicated, this first application of universal suffrage, looked forward to with so mw:h anxiety, have parsed over without the least inconvenience, and the National Asseml ly is about to receive from the Provisional aivernwent the destinies of Francs. Let them calumniate, then. The people, so intelligent and sympathetic, know and will know, how to discover their real friends ; they will underAtand to what dearth co reason ing the reactionary party is driven to be utilised to have re. coutse to assertions as absurd as they arc cowardly and mendacious, with a view of rendering odious or 11119. petted those men who are devoted, body and soul. to the common good, and those who have consecrated to the public welfare their days and nights, and who have Frown ten years older by two months of 1110:l -eant occupation, and the immense responsibility undertaken by them, and on whom they would cost the reproach of having followed, in their conduct and their habits, public or private, the follies and ussges of a corrupt alit dispicabie court. The people will smile with contempt and pity, for they know dm real value of the fruit wad the wasps who attack it. P.S. It is confidently stated that the Bank of Franco has engaged to make a new loan to the treasury, of from twelve to fifteen millions of francs, rendered necessary for the expenses of the army of the Alps. which the news from Italy shows may at any mo ment have to enter upon a campaign. - - Mae I.—New Iran, —; Three per Cents., 414; no. nye per (5-nta., 704; Emir-and-11a% —; Fours Belgian Fire., 1310, 714 ; Do. 1612, —; Do.

Il Contemporaneo, of Rome, of the 22nd, says: News from Ferrara is expected with impatience, in order to have details of the attack on the fortress and the move ment of our troops. It is said that, as troops arrive, they are marched on Ferrara or Bologna. It is thought the 20th of April is the day fired for the attack. It appears that the object of the Austrians, if they could have succeeded in making terms of capitulation authorising them to take away their arms and baggage, was to march for Verona, to strengthen the position of the Austrian troops. The Patric, of Florence, of the 24th April, says: What ! the Venetian government demand assistance of France, forgetting that the regeneration of Italy is summed up in the declaration that Italy will, by herself, accomplish We must not hold this language it it be belied by our acts. The war of independence is not yet terminated, and we doubt not of victory, but it must be a victory dun to Italian arms slow. The Paeria of Florence, of the 24th, says : A letter from Vicenza announces that Austria had pro posed to Charles Albert to cede Lombardy, .01 condition •hat tits Piedmontese troops should not pas , the Mineio, 'o which Charles Albert replied that he did not undertake the war to conquer some provinces, but to free the Italian soil from the presence of a foreign power. Toe same journal says, under date of Bologna, the 22nd : General I)urando has passed the Po with 6,000 troops of the line. Another body of 6,000, under tieneral Ferrari, will enter next week the Venetian territory, and take up a position between Padua and Vicenza. The whole force of Durando is 17,000. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. By an arrival at Hull, we have news from Ham burg to midnight of the 29th ult. The Danish troops had retired upon Gravensteen, and several ships of war had been driven down Flensburg Bay by the Prussian fire. The Hanoverian. were to commence hostilities against Alsen on the 28th. 'the Great Belt is effectually blockaded by the Danes. It is feared the Schleswig-Holstein Cunal is closed to British shipping. IMPORTANT FROM IRELAND, GOVERNMENT PROCLAMATIONS. DISTURBANCES AT LIMERICK. DUBLIN, MAY 1. The Privy Council is sitting, and it is expected that it will be determined to proclaim the county Lime rick. Serious disturbances took place at Lime rick on Saturday night. The populace (Old Ire lenders) attacked the Sarsfield Club, where the Young Ireland soiree was held. The members of the club fired, and one man fell. The military and police were called out. Mr. Smith O'Brien was seriously injured, and has resigned his seat for Limerick. The Lord-Lieutenant has issued a proclamation, prohibiting the meeting of the CJuncil of Three Hundred and the formation of a national gnard. Mr. Mitchell has pleaded in abatement to the ex-officio information,on the grounds that the proceedings under the hills of indictment otiginally found against him had not been set aside nor vitiated by nolle prosequi subsequently entered. SHIPS SEIZED BY THE DANES. We learn from our adrices received this morning, that the following vessels, in addition to those we have al ready given, Lave been seised and laid under embargo at Copenhagen :—The brig Bertha, Gran, of and from Memel, for Cork; ship Selma, Doske, of Memel, from D intric, for London ; and brig Sophia, Brandt, of and for Memel, from Hartlepool. Letters from Stockholm mention that—" Six ships of the line are being fitted out at Landscrona. Thirty Prussian vessel/ had been brought in from the Baltic, and sixteen were expected from Elsineur. Among those were vessels from Bordeaux and the W. st Indies, with valuable cargoes on board, awl carry day the number increases. The bringing in of these vessels, and the blockade of the Prussian ports, will soon clear the seas of Prussisn vessels. The preparations for continuing the war are carried on with the greatest energy, and the Prussian vessels taken will be of great ser vice for the transport of troops and materials of war to the scene of operations." From Hamburg the following intelligence hex also reacted us: " :APRIL 2.6.—The Anna, Holm, of Fanoe, from Antwerp, for Hamburg, put into Fanoe, previously to the 22. id inst., and was detained by the authorities, her parrs showiae, that had arms on hoard.

Two o'Clock.—We have a rather extraordinary movement in the funds this morning, which cannot be ascribed to any political intelligence of favourable impact, since the accounts from Ireland, in the second edition of the Doily News, are viewed as on the whole of a disconreging character. We have, nevertheless, had Consuls up to 83: buyers, or say full 1 per cent. in advance of the quotations on Saturday, the last ba gginess day. We have now a slight reaction in them, at 831- to 1 for money and account. The ex planation of the rise is, that the specu lators and dealers have oversold themselves, and are buying in their accounts under alarm at the continued steadiness of prices. Reduced 'fhrees are 81! to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 823 to 1. Exchequer Bills, 38s. to 425. premium Bank Stock, 188 to 90. We have a more active market and better prices in foreign stocks also. Spanish Fives are now called 13 to 1 ; the Threes, 23 to f ; Passive, 3 to Portuguese are up to 18i to 191. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are higher, at 41 to 3 ; the Fours, at 02 to 4 ; and come better also from Amsterdam. Russian, 83 to 90 ' • but from Holland are advised as being more offered there. Mexican are up to 16 to f. Peruvian, 30 to 2. Buedikityres, 20 to b. Brazilian, 66 to 70. EX OL ri Bank Stork, 133 90 per Ct. Ited. Anne., I CL Com. Asa.. 839 FUN DS. Irr Ct.

Ilenextou, May 1.-Our attendance at market to-day was not large, and the supply of grain in - Aerate, except Wheats, which was equal to the wants of our millers; the trade was dull, and lower.

PRESTON, April 29.-The coldness of the weather has given a cheek to vegetation, but upon the whole the crops in this district look tolerably well, and we see no cause fur alarm, provided we have a more genial atmosphere for the future. The imports this week are to a fair amount, includ ing a car,zo of Wheat from Restock. We confirm our ob servations of this day se'nnigbt as to the tone of the trade generally ; each article continues to be held with unabated ' 'firmness ; and upon Wheat our last quotations has been ' rather exceeded.

Flour, 6d. per pack higher. Beans a free sale, at an amend ment of fl. to le. per windle. Oats, attracting more ert e n.' titan, realised Id. to 2d. per bushel over our last quotations.

MaLmcsettay FAIL—The number of fat and grazing Beasts were very large; for the former, the trade was dull, at lower rates; whilst for the latter prices were much the same, with a fair trade doing. Of fat Sheep the supply fully sustained the reputation of this old es!ablashed market for a supply of rood mutton at a period of the year when t ,, er, is great difficulty in procuring it in other quarters i and the number of eager buyers made it a good sale at higher prices. A fair number of poor Pigs, which sold at higher raga.

Mr. URQUHART gave notice of his intention to-morrow (this day) to ask the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs a question relative to the correspondence which bad appeared in the public papers between Mr. Bulwer and the Duke of Sototnayor ; also with respect to the position in which Great Britain stood towards Denmark and Prussia. --- SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. ISLAND OF TOBAGO. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was known to the house, by the papers which had bees laid on the table, that the island of Tobago had been desolated by a severe hurricane. It was also known that when such cala mities had occurred on former occasions the house had inva riably stepped in to the relief of the sufferers. The govern ment, acting upon this precedent, had authorised the grant of 3,0001. to be immediately distributed amongst those who had been deprived of their all by the hurricane, undertaking at the proper time to obtain the sanction of the parliament to this advance. He had, therefore, two votes to propose to the committee ; the first of which was, that a sum not exceeding 5,0001. be granted to her Majesty, to defray the advances made to relieve destitute perso:s in the island of Tobago. The vote being put from the chair, Mr. HUME asked if this sum was to be given or only lent ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it had been already expended in the relief of the actual destitu tion caused by the hurricane. Mr. HUME—Then if the money has been actually ad vanced and spent there is very little use in asking this house to sanction in expenditure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the course pursued was the only regular one. The vote was then agreed to. The next vote was for a sum not exceeding 50,0001., to be advanced out of the consolidated fund, or by the issue of exchequer.bills on loan, in order to enable the planters in the island of Tobago to restore their properties to their former state. Mr. HUME asked what security was to be given for the repayment of this loan 1 Also, whether any portion of the sum now proposed to be voted had been yet advanced? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that no part of the amount proposed had teen yet advanced. The security which was to be given would be such as was satisfactory. Mr. HUDSON asked if former loans of this description had been repaid by the West Indian colonists ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that in most cues they had. There was no reason to complain on this score. Mr. DARKLY thanked the government for having come to the aszistance of the island of Tobago under the recent visitation. He believed the advance would be quite safe. The vote was then agreed tsp. COOLIES.—TRINIDAD—GUIANA. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER next brought forward the subject of the immigration of labourers into Trinidad and Guiana, which had been first sanctioned by Lord Stanley in the year 1844, and continued under his successors in the Colonial-office. The present vote which he was about to submit was to defray the cost of transporting 10 000 coolies from Calcatta and Madras to the island of Trinidad and to the colony of Guiana. Those colonies had endeavoured to raise loans on the securities sanctioned by their respective legislatures to defray these expenses, but had not been able to succeed. The government, therefore, thought it advisable to do so for them, more especially as the immigration of coolies which had occasioned the necessity for a loan had been sanctioned by preceding colonial secre taries. The vote which he had to propose was, " That a sum not exceeding 200,0001. be granted to her Majesty to defray the expense of the transport of labourers from the But Indies into the colonies of Trinidad and Guiana." The vote having been put from the chair, Mr. BARKLY said that the West Indian colonists would feel bitterly disappointed when they found that the pre mises of relief and asaLtance held out to them at the be ginning of the session by the right hon. gentleman had dwindled down into the vote before the house, which was a mere repayment of expenaes which were known to have been incurred at the very time when promises of further assistance were made to them. --- Mr. HUME would not deny the truth of the hon. mem ber's olyervations, but he rose to oppose the grant on the ground that the money required hid been spent without first having been sanctioned by the house. The outlay now sought to be reeovtred bad been going on since the year 1941, and, ) .use ought no t u pon principle, to aan".; :za , , p „ secretary taking upon himself to incur an expenditure ' , Athea first applying to parliament. He should take the sense of the committee on the vote. To expect the colonies to repay' the amount was a delusion: their credit was destroyed. They could not pay their own executive officers, much less such a loan as the present. The whale colonial system required to be changed. He begged to move as an amendmc sit that the vote be postponed until the committee of inquiry into the West India colonies had made its report. Mr. GLADSTONE agreed with the hon. member that repayment of the loan now before the committee was not probable. He must observe, however, that neither himself nor Lord Stanley could be considered responsible for the debt incurred by the immigration of coolies from the East Indies into Trinidad and Guiana. All that his noble friend and himself had done, was to authorise the transport of free lapourers from Calcutta and Madras into the West Indies. But they incurred na respmsibility for the loans which were raised to defray the expenses of that immigration. There was nothing to prevent the colonists in 1846 from raisins the &motet required on their own credit. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted, that the late government had not actually sanctioned the loans made for derraying the cost of immigration, but they had sanctioned the act which had rendered those loans in evitably necessary, and therefore they were responsible for the results. With respect to the observations of the hon. member for Leominster, he did not consider he was open to his reproaches, for he had distinctly mated, on the occasion referred to by him, that part of the relief to be afforded the West Indian colonies would consist in enabling them to defray the expenses of past immigration of vacates. Sir R. INGLIS attributed the ruin of the West Indies to the admission of slave sugar into competition with freo la bour produce. Mr. ROBINSON objected to the importation of fresh po pulation into the West Indies without due preparation. If circumstances should so change as to require their re.trans mission to their own country there would be a fresh call for money, and fresh expense to the mother country. Mr. WILSON objected to any delay in passing the vote on the score of the report. They did not know how long the report might be delayed. Mr. HERRIES said that although 34,0001. was a small MA, yet in this vset it Involved a greet principle, that of giving the guoran'ee of the imperial credit to a future colo nial account. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer would at eept a vote for the 166,0001. already spent, leaving the 84,0001. over until the receipt of the report, he (Mr. Harries) sbbuld feel inclined to support it. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no in- tenticn of pledging the house to future schemes of immigra tion. Er could not, however, tell what was the exact sum which had been expended under the act, and therefore could not assent to the limitation proposed her the right hon. gen &man. I TIOWRING, After a few words from Mr. MiItKLY and Ds. .. Mr. RAWESsaiI that both Lord Stanley and the riehte hon. member for Oxford University had acquiesced in rlaut for the immigration of coolies, and bad authorised the cobs. nista to raise loans for the purpose. In consequence, how ever, of the state of the money market and the Bolan rate of interest offered, the money could not be raised in London, so that if the present government had not interfered, immigra tion mast have been stopped altogether. Re could not tell the exact amount required, but in no case should it exceed 200,0001.,tbe refusal of which by the house would deprive the colonies of all hope of a further supply of labour. Mr. CARDWELL thought that if now for the first time it was proposed to give the imperial guarantee to colonial acts, the house bid a fair right to question that proposaL The West India committee bad sent in six reports, and were now deliberating on their final report.
