IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN r. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8. The &tannins took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. SECOND READING.—Itiver Dun Navigation (extension to Sher fick PUBLIC BICsINES.9. SECOND READINGS. --Game Certificates for Killing Hares; Bo rough Polies Superannuation Fund ; COMM i t - rEL. -Homan Catholic Relief BM LORD PALMERSTON AND MR. ANSTEY. Mr. DItUMMOND (Surrey) wished to know from the hon. and 1, caned member for Yoaghal when he intended to resume the discussion respecting the conduct of his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs? He asked the question on pubic grounds, and he thought i t onl y fair and just th.tt the house should speedily come to a decision on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Although the characters both of the prosecutors and of his noble friend were pretty well understood and appreciated by that house, and probably by the country, yet such might not be the case in other coun tries; mid therefore, the character of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs being public property, he thought it of immeure iuiportance that that character should he upheld by the house coming at once to a decision on the hon. and learned member's motion. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. ANSTEY said he could only give to the b o a. member for Surrey the reply he had on e f ormer occasion a given to noble lord opposite—namely, that the only day at his dis posal was Wednesday, and on Wednesdays he had done his best from time to time to bring the question on. If the R om an Catholic Bill, which was the fi rst order, went speedily through committee, and Lie other orders should be disposed of early, he should be meet happy to resume the discussion that day. It that were not prusticable, he thought the next eourse would be to adjourn the discussion rk die in diem, taking chance of an early disposal of the orders of the day. ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. The house went into committee on the above bill Sir R. INGLIS wished the consideration of the bill to be postponed until a member of the government should be pre sent. He apprehended from former discussions that there would he considerable differences of opinion between the government and the hon. and learned member, and although he (Sir R. Inglis) did not for a moment mean to say that his individual opinion would he influenced by any course the government might take he thought the presence of some government member absolutely necessary during the dis cussion of a measure of so imperial a character as the regent. Sir G. GREY, who had entered the house while the hon. art. was addressing the committee, apologised for his all ence on the plea of public business. (Hear, hear.) As the bill proceeded through coma. ittee he should be prepared to stag- the views of government relative to each clause. Ilia opinion respecting the general character of the bill woo un changed. He thought a great portion of it unnecessary, and that a most important question had been omitted—namely, the state of law as respected Irelan t. Mr. ANSTEY hid omitted Ireland at the !suggestions of Irish lawyers and Irish members. He had not conceived himself competent, not being familiar with Irish statute law, to undertake its alteration. Mr. s LANEY, while !taming to the general scope . and principle of the bill, would oppose s u ch p ortion of it as tended to encourage the intrae.uction of monastic institutions into this rountre. as also that portion which interbred with the law of mortmain. Mr. GOI'LBUItN deprecated this discussion as irrele vant, and recalled the attention of the committee to the real question, which was a consideration of the clauses of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Clause 1. Sir It. INGLIS objected to that portion of the clause which went 'o repeal the let of Elizabeth enjoining the oath of supremacy. At present Roman catholic members were exempt from that oath, but the penalties were retained at common law. It the act were repealed Roman catholics would have at common law an immunity not enjoyed by their puitestant fellow-countrymen. lie moved the oral-stun of the words "shall be repealed." Lord MAHON suggested the postponement of the words until the end of clause. Sir G. GREY said that the best course would be, as the act went to repeal many acts, to first settle what acts were to be repealed. Mr. GOULLITMN supported the amendment. Mr. HENLEY said that the real dittbmlty arose from the manner in which the bill had been framed—that was to say, in one monster clause. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the only course for the house to adept would be to =airport the motion of the hon. member tor Oxford University. Mr. ANSTEY said that the bill being a re prealuction of a former bill, the draughtsman could not frame it otherwise than he had done. Mr. SHELL said, after the explanation given by the hon. member for Oxford University of his real object an moving this amendment, those only who desired that no act which affected Roman catholics imould be repealed could vote for it. After some further conversation, the committee divided. For the retention of the words For the amendment 59-35 Mr. HENLEY then moved the omission of the words following the enactment repealing such acts " in so far as the same relate to Roman c itholies," desiring that no dis tinction should be made between any class of her Majesty's anMeets. Mr. ANSTEY had no objection to the amendment. Sir G. GREY also supported the amendment, but sub mitted that it should be proposed on the report. The acts recited as those to be repealed made the assertion of certain opinions, not by Roman c itholics only, but by any Taman, an offence puni,hable by certain penalties. The airs of Vic toria repealed those penalties, but left the offences still on the statute-book, and of course as offer ces they were punish able by tine and imprisonment under the common law as ausaemesnors. The CHAIRMAN decided that there was an olieetion in point of form to puttinn the amendment at that stage, and Mr. HENLEY withdrew it, intimating his intention to propose it on the report. Mr. LAW contended that it was competent f,.r the com mittee to entertain the amendment. One object of the hill was to abrogate the securities contained in the act of Eliza beth, cap. 1, as far as Roman catholic' were concerned. If Roman catholics were to be thus qualified to do mischief be saw no reason why the qualification should not extend to all other chasers of the subjects of this realm. (Hear, hear.) He would move that the words referring to Roman catho- lice be omitted. A long discussion on the question of form ensued, the re sult being this the amendment could not be put. Mr. HENLEY then moved the omission of so much of the clause as referred to the act of Elizabeth. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL submitted that this amendment should be deferred until they came to the con sideration of the specific acts it was proposed to repeal. He concurred that it would b.) advisable to remove all doubt as to whether the acts made penal by the statute of Elizabeth remained after the repeal of the penalties punishable ss mis demeanor at common law. Mr. LAW supported the amendment, contending that the act of Elizabeth ought not to be repo iled without some de claratory words to keep alive the offence to which the peual ties were attached. Mr. GOC LBURN thought it perfectly immaterial whe ther the act was repealed or not, as the offences against which it was directed would still remain punishable at com mon law. That being the case, he would vote for re pealing the act. Mr. NkIWDEGATE would retain the act, in order to facilitate prosecutions by the crown, if necessary. (Hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERA L (in reply to a question from Mr. Hilrlyard) said that the offence at common law might assume the character of treason. After much conversation as to whether the offence referred to in the clause of Elizabeth, new proposed to be repealed, was or was not an offence at common law, Mr. ANSTEY said that there was not a man in the coun try who would deny the supremacy of the anverei4n to a certain extent. The question was, as to its nature and amount at common law : the supremacy of the seven ign was temporal, and also ecchsiastical sub mono, and to deny it to that extent would be an offence at common law. But, if the supremacy of the crown did not extend to all matters ecclesiastical and spiritual, it would be no offence at common law to deny it as far. Most certainly, if a Roman catholic bishop or priest should rout to any other means of a t-mponil nature than those recognised by the laws of the country for the purpose of enforcing his epiritual rights, he would be guilty at com mon law of a very high offence—it might be, according to the circumstances, of high treason, and repealing the act of Elizabeth would not alter the law in that respect. (fleet ) Sir R. INGLIS reiterated his objection to the clause of the bill under discussion, and opposed it altogether. Mr. SHEIL observed that, whether they repealed the statute of Elizabeth or not, the common law would net be affected. The sting had already been taken from it by the 9th and 10th Victoria. which removed its pains and penal ties, and it was of nn further use, unless to stare a falsehood —namely, that the Pope had no spiritual supremacy in this country. Mr. Justice Coleridge said, cn a late occasion, that he thought the Pope was rightly the ad of the Christian world—(cries of " Oh ")—at least before the reformation. (Renewed cries of " Oh, " and laughter.) Those la t words were his (Mr. Shell's) own. They were not used by Mr. Justice Coleridge; and he (Mr. Sheil) had used them be cause be did not suppose that Mr. Justice Coleridge meant to say that the Pope was now the rightful head of the Christian world, however much he might desire to revert to that rystem under which peace and tranquillity were pro duced in the Christian world. (A. laugh ) Before the re formation he was so, most undoubtedly, and it woe untrue to say that facto he no c exercised no spiritual authority in these realms. He appointed bishops and archbishops, whose technical titles, intimating that spiritual authority, were re cognised by the Bequest. Act of the right hon. baronet oppo site (Sir J. Graham.) The statute now sought to be re pealed stated, therefore, what was not true. Sir J. GRAHAM, having been alluded to, did not wish to give a silent vote. The whole question of abolishing ob eolete sets affecting religious belief had been referred to t criminal commissioner, who reported in favour of the abso lute repeal of the clause of Elizabeth, now the subject of dis cussion. The ministers advised it, and Lord Lyndhurst, seeing no danger whatever from such a step, introduced a provision to that effect in his bill ; but out of deference to the scruples and suggestions of some noble lords con sented to limit it to the titres and penalties, leaving the act still on the statute book, the sting (as observed by the hon. member for Dungarvan) having been withdrawn; and though the repeal of the act might be said to be superfluous, yet, as it would not change the law, he considered himself bound in good faith and honour, as a patty to the original peoposition,to see that it was not repealed. (Hear, hear.) But 'be would the whole length of saying that if the common law were iacpsr 're against the denial of the spiritual au progwey et her Malady, in the sense in which it Wal irked by hie Boman Catholic subjects, h. shooll not regret. it; for he should be sorry to see the common law constituting that to be an off.nce which would affect ulation the ' liberty of conscience of at le ast one.third of the pop of the kingdom. (Cheers, principally from the ministerial side of the house.) He was, therefore, not at all alarmed at any effect that could arise, either from repealing the parti cular chum in the act of Elisabeth, or from the common law proving to be inoperative. He saw no occasion for either in these days, and attempting to enforce them would not, in his opinion, ' be consistent with the peace toldppss of the country. (Cheers.) They bad been by the Attorney-General that the offence might amount to treason, and of nothing had he a greater horror than common-law treason. lie considered, too, that constructive treason war a meet dangereus doctrine, sad could not conceive how the assertion of the spiritual supremacy of the Pope of Home would amount to such a crime. He should, therefore, most cordially support the clause. (Hear.) Sir ft. INGLIS defended Mr. Justice Coleridge from the i mpu t a tion which he conceived had been cast upon him by the remarks of the bon. member for Mingo:van, ohm rving, parenthetically, amidst much laught ch er, tha ch li ef liefore e denied tha rat the Pope was the head of Lag t er , the formatiOo. After some further discussion, in which Mr. N EWDBOATF, Mr. DRUMMOND, and Mr. SPOONER, taunted Sir JAMES GRAHAM for his indifference oa the subject, The house divided — F or the clause For the amendment ll9-32 The clause was then agreed to; and upon clause 2 being propod, These ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested the introduc tion of certain words which would legalise the introduction into this country of bulls and instruments of an innocent character. As the law stood such bulls were pro hibited, and it was also illegal to aid in any manner in carry • ing them into effect. Mr. ANSTEY had no objection to adopt the words sug gested by the learned Attorney-General, and recommended a still further extension of the Pope's privileges in these realms. Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the suggeations of both the hon. and learned members who had last addressed the house. The interests of the protestant church had been of late greatly infringed upon, and he felt it his duty to resist to the utmost any further attempt to increase the influence or the authority of the Pope of Rome here. lie apprehended their recognition of the Pope would have the effect of greatly imperilling freedom of conscience amongst her Majesty's subjects, and no doubt could exist that the ultimate object of those who proposed to extend the influ ence of Rome here was to establish her see upon the ruins of the church of England. The hon. gentleman then moved, in conformity with the views he had expressed, the emission of certain words in the clause.: Col. SIBTHORP seconded the amendment. After a few words in explanation from Mr. DRUMMOND, Lord MAHON, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. LAW said the hon. and learned member for Youghal bad proposed neither n.ore nor less than the entire repeal of the 13 Elizabeth, cap. 2, whereby Roman catholics might have been absolved from their allegiance, had they sought to be so. The introduction of all bulls would novo bean dis tinctly legalised—amongst them, that which absolved the subjects from their allegiance. It was desirable that the com mittee should know what they were about. ((fear.) As the house would in a few days be called on to consider a bill for opening diplomatic relations with "the sovereign pontiff, as he had been called, and as it seemed we were now to interfere with the affairs of Italy, as well as other halerevolutionary state', it would be well for the house to pause before sanctioning any further recognition of the Papal power. It was true the learned Attorney-General, put upon his loyalty, had proposed to limit the permission in a subse quent stage; but this limitation wool 1 still allow the intro duction of bulls. He should support the amendment of the hon. member far Warwickshire. Ile hoped there was enough of loyalty and protestantism in the country not to submit to this attempt to undermine religious freedom. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested that the sense of the committee should be taken on that point only on which they differed. All agreed that one class of bulls ought not to be admitted ; in reference to the others, let the amendment be so flamed as to take the sense of the committee on their admission. They might avoid repealing the whole of the act 13 Elizabeth by substituting for the words " the whole," "so much of an act," &c., meaning so much of the act as did not relate to the bulls mentioned in the preamble. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he objected to the introduction of bulls altogether ; it was a power which he would not daily with. By admitting " innocent bulls" the construc tion of their language would be a matter of private opinion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQU ER said he had understood such to be the object of the hon. men), r, and had suggested a means by which a division might be taken on that question. Mr. LAW said the question was much too grave a one to be dealt with in this way. If the amendment of the hon. member for Warwickshire was rejected, he should propose that so much of tha act of Elizabeth as was not repealed should be distinctly recited and re-enacted. Mr. ANSTEY said that would be a very inconvenient and unusual course. By the course suggested by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he was perfectly willing to adopt, the whole of the act of Elizabeth not repealed would remain in full force. Mr. J. STEWART thought the best c aurae would be to leave the statute of Elizabeth as it stood, and introduce a clause legalising those bulls which were considered as inno cent or politically unimportant. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said he had had no hand in preparing the bill ; but, in reading i', it had occurred to him that of the two classes of bulls, one ought not to be Ic• scanted ;he had therefore suggested only so much of the act of Elizabeth should be repealed as related to the class of bulls not described in the preamble to that act—namely, the treasonable bulls. Mr. SHEIL said the hon. member for the University of Oxford had contradicted him on a matter of fact, and in language nut characterised by his usual good breeding (heir, hear) ; he had accused him of misquoting the words of Mr. Justice Coleridge. He had since consulted the report. The words, as he quoted them were—" The l'ope was the rightful head of the Christian church, at all events before the reformation." The actual words were these —" If the Pope had been content with his power of patriarch, he might have retained his appellate jeniuliction, which rightly belonged to him as universal head of the whole christian church." (Cheers.) After this, he thought the hon. mem ber fur the university of Oxford woe not justified in using the language he had done, which was tantamount to a charge of direct falsehood, and fur which from any other hon. member he might have been inclined to ask for a dif ferent explanation. (Cheers.) Sir It. INGLIS said it would have been inconsistent with his principles to give the satisfaction which the right hon. gentleman had alluded to. (Hear.) He must protest against the right hon. gentleman taking his authority from a newspaper report. No judge would do that, not even a coroner. He did not mean to accuse the right hon. gi ntleman of talsehoo but even, with the terrors to which he had alluded, he (Sir R. Inglis) should not have been more prompt to state what were his real views. Was the right hon. gentleman now satisfied ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. SIIEIL said he was sure the house would feel that he had had reason to complain. lie had done nothing more than accept the words of the hon. gentleman in the sense in which they had been used. (Hear.) After some conversation u to the effect of the amendment, Sir J. GRAHAM asked what was the precise question be fore the committee ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the hon. member for Warwickshire would not persist in an in convenient course, but would withdriw hie amendment until the addition of the Attorney-General was agreed to. Otherwise, the sense of the committee would not be taken on the real question. Mr. NEW DEGATE persisted in pressing his amendment to a division. He stood on the principle whether bulls should be put into legal effect by the authority of the I'ope. (" Hear," and cries of " Divide.") The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would not divide on the words proposed to be left out by the hon. member fir Warwickshire. He would allow them to be struck out, and would then move the addition of the words which had been suggested by the Attorney-General. Mr. ANSTEY objected to this course. The amendment of Mr. Ncwdegate was put and agreed to, without a division. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved the addition of the following words: " Also so much of an act passed in the 13th year of Queen Elizabeth. as does not relate to such bulls, writings, and other things as are men tioned in the preamble of the said act." Mr. LAW moved as an amendment that the chairman should report progress. (" No, no," and " Divide.") The committee then divided : Against the motion for reporting progress 175 For the motion 124-51 On the motion for aoreeing to the amendment proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Col. SIBTHORP moved that the chairman report pro- Mr. W. MILES said that it was most difficult to under- ' stand the clause as it stood. Ife, therefore, hoped that the hon. and learned member for Youghal would consent to the motion for reporting progress. He should like to understand from the Attorney-General what was the meaning of the clause' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had not the charge of the bill; but he had no difficulty in answering the question of the hon. gentleman. The statute of Elizabeth prohibited the introduction tit' seditious and treasonable bulls, and all other bulls or documents from the see of Rome. By the clause proposed it was intended to keep in force the law re specting seditious or treasonable bulls, and to repeal it with regard to others. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL did not think it fair to defeat the bill by a side wind, and in an unworthy manner, as this motion would have the effect of doing. (" Oh, oh.") It might not be unworthy of the learned Recorder of London, who always opposed the freedom of conscience, but it would he unworthy of this great country, which, with all its faults, would not wish to ace anything carried in an unworthy and underhand manner. ("Oh, oh.") Mr. LAW.—I tell the hon. gentleman that lam not op posed to freedom of conscience, and that I am only oppose.' to superstitious mummeries. (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) I cannot understand why the hon. member should select me for his remarks, as m observations were not open to the language has though y t proper to indulge in. (Hear.) The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY did not much care what any one might say respecting his religion, but would observe that this was the first time in the present parliament that any member had used language which must be unpleasant to others. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was better to allow the chairman to report progress. It was now too late to make any progress in tie bill, and be WY afraid that hon. gentlemen were booming excited. (Lsoilita.) THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1848. Mr. ANSTEY intimated bis intention of proceeding to a division. Sir G. GREY said it was evident no progress could be made with the bill that evening. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL suggested to the bon and learned member for Youghal not to prom the committee to • division. As the learned Recorder —a person so high in the law—said that he could not interpret the amendment, it was better to allow him three weeks to do so. (Hoar, hear.) l'erhaps, in that time he could make it be understood by the Lou. member for Lincoln. (Laughter.) Mr. HUDSON thought that time should be given for con sidering_the dense. Mr. W. I'. WOOD said that the clauses which hon. gen tlemen opposite now wanted time to consider were those which the hon. and learned member fur Midliurat had declared, amidst the cheers of those who sat opposite, to be a sham, and only worth so much waste paper. He could nut hill, regarding the opposition of hon. gentlemen opposite to these clauses with sonic suspicion, when they said that the pro testant church end throne depended on them, although they cheered most loudly when the hoe. member for Midhurst said they were of nn consequence. (Hear, sr.) As fur him, his faith in his church was CO our, that he did not care how many bulls wi re introduced. (L iuehter.) He would not have his church represented as a decrepit old female. (Laughter ) lie would stand on the truth of his religion, and did not care for ever so mauy bulls. (Cheers.) Mr. S (AFFORD said that this question was 'wilted upon as one of the greatest importance by the people of this country, and it was but just that time should be allowed to consider a clause which constituted a main part of the hill which had been now for the first t.me proposed by her Ma jesty's government. Mr. P. WOOD said that the object of the words proposed by the government was to restrict the cl of the bill which the hon and leurned member fur Midhurst had said were of no advantage. He could not understand, therefore, the opposition of hon. gentlemen opposite. (Hear.) After some observations from Mr. LAW, Mr. ANSTEY said he would not divide the house. The house then resumed, and the CHAIRMAN repotted source than parliamentary greats or issues from the Exchequer" in the course of 1647. From this return, it appears, of the gross receipts by revenue depart ments in that year no less than 5,904,6901. 17s. 4d. were deducted by the officials and never paid into the Exchequer. Nearly six millions of money taken from the people were never allowed to reach the Treasury; were subtracted from the efficient control of govern ment and parliament. Ag ain, the Bums:received by de partments of expenditure from other sou reesthan parlia mentary grantsandisauesfrom the exchequer amounted in 1847, one with another to 1,099,7471. 14s. 2d. In thc course of one year no less than 7,004,436/.118.7d. were collected and paid away by officers of govern ment at their own discretion, without instructions from tho minister of finance, and a goodly part of it without any parliamentary warrant for exacting the same paid by the public. Of the amounts deducted by revenue departments from their gross receipts, and withheld under one pretext or another from the exchequer, 1,973,5171. Ss. 104 d. fall under the head of customs ; 1,593,6211/. 12s. sd. under that of excise. These deduc tions are in both instances distributed under tour heads --drawbacks, alto want es, and re-payments ; charges of collection ; other payments ; contributions to super annuation fund. The first head contains the aggre gate of moneys paid back as not legally due : the chief objection to this item is the stove:oy and unbusiness like fashion of leaving the re-payment to collectors. The second and fourth heads are liable to the much more grave objection that it is most inexpedient to allow servants to put their fingers into their master's cash-box and pay themselves. The " other pay ments," though of comparatively limited amount, are the worst of all. Under this head are included the moneys paid towards the support of judicial establishments in Scotland. A large proportion of the expense of the Scotch law courts and auxiliary institutions is quietly de ducted from the duties of customs collected in Scotland—does not make its appeararce in the annual accounts—and thus prevents parliament from comparing the efficiency of these establishments with their cost. In like manner we find that a consider able sum is deducted from the excise duties in Scot land, and handed over clandestinely " towards the civil government in Scceland." I'urt of these duties, also, are withheld from the Exchequer, and appro priated to the payment of " pensions granted in the reigns of Kings CHARLES 11. and N's"tf.trew III." 'the returns from the other revenue departments are similar iu character : some desiderata the item "other pay - metes," others the item " re-payments." The Post-office has its "other payments; " upon which uo very great light is thrown by the present returns, but which, w c believe, consist mainly of pensions to two noble pauper families—Maaticolwucti being one, The sums withheld from the Exchequer by the departments of expenditure are of a much worse character than those withheld by the revenue depart ment:. A considerable amount of them is indeed the fruit of a minor taxation, imposed and levied by the authority of our bureaucracy without warrant from peril ,ment. The Treasury, the Privy Council and Board of Trade, the Home, Foreign, and Colonial departments, and the I'rivy Seal, have all their snug fee-funds, imposed, adjusted, ex torted, and shared among the dignitaries of these °likes by their own sovereign authority, in dependent of parliament and uncontrolled by it. These departments are mainly supported by what they extort from unlucky individuals who have blLEi !less to transact with them, and only ask Parliament to add a little to this equivocal income. No thing is said in the return of our judicial establish ments, but it is notorious that no inconsiderable part of the emoluments of law officials is derived from a similar clandestine, arbitrary, private system of tax ation, to which we can n member nothing more closely analogous than the tolls that used to be ex acted by the robber knights of the Rhine. The Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, and police courts extract annually from the pockets of the in habitants about 262,933/., and the Dublin metropo litan police about 33,669/., not without parliamentary sanction, but without any efficient supervision and con trol. The India Board draws from the revenuesoflndia, under an act of Geont.e 111., a sum which is not in any year to exceed 26,000/. Over the appropriation of this fund there is no efficient watch or control either in England or India. It must be obvious to every one what a fertile field for jobbing, corruption, and all improprieties, is afforded by the seven millions of clandestine taxation and expenditure over which not parliament, not even the ministers of the day, can exercise any efficient control. Surely, now that the voice of remonstrance against thoughtless and profli gate expenditure is raised from every corner of the land, parliament will find it unavoidable to insti tute some inquiry into the abuses which here lurk concealed, and adopt some efficacious measure for their suppression. We remember in 1834 or 35 read ing a speech delivered by the late Earl of DURHAM at a public dinner given to Lim by the citizens of Glas gow, in which he passed a high and deserved enco mium upon Dr. BOWRING'S labours to elucidate the principles and practice of national book-keeping. The noble earl claimed a good deal of credit for his party on account of their disposition to carry into effect the system of national accounts recommended by the doctor. The disgraceful revelations of the return to which we have been directing attention show how little fruit that vaunted disposition has borne. THE Glasgow riots are to all appearance nothing more than a very had case of the " meal-mob," as the disease is called in the north. Complaints had been made about a week earlier by the destitute unem ployed of the inadequacy of relief according to law. A committee had been appointed, of which all the magistrates were members, to provide for the imme diate wants of the complainants ; but some difference of opinion arose between the relievers and a portion at kast of the relieved, as to the efficacy of the measures adopted. A meeting of the unemployed, at which not more than 3,000 or 4.000 are said to have been present, assembled on the public green, and were addressed by some mischievously impassioned orators. Some of their number were sent with a representation to the relief com mittee, and having been induced to hear reason by these gentlemen were, on their return to their still excited companions, received as traitors. Forthwith the fierce crowd pour into the heart of the city, and dividing into two bands one proceeds to the east war.l, pillaging the bakers shops and provision stores —the other to the westward, taking arms from the gunsmiths, and valuable trinkets from the jewel lers. Wherever the mob spreads, it is uncontrolled master, its irruption having been unlooked for, and no preparation made to meet it. But only a compara tively narrow region of the city appears to have been the scene of its exploits. The proceedings of the rioters already glanced at, together with their really inconsiderable numbers, in dicate the composition of the mob. It consisted of the most destitute of the destitute, and among them, of course, the most lazy of the lazy. These were the bread pillagers. But mixed with them was also a strong detachment of professional criminals, with w hom Glasgow, in proportion to its size and popula tion, is more amply stocks d than even London. These were the stealers of guns and trinkets. But, in the ebullition of the moment, every individual of either class was stimulated by emulation and the intoxica tion of destruction to wilder acts of devastation. The real working classes of Glasgow did not join in the excesses. They do not appear to have been stirred to mutiny even by the melancholy death of an innocent citizen in consequence of what appears to have been the culpable precipi tancy of a civil functionary and a body of out-pen sioners. We have always had great doubts of the ex pediency of employing these old soldiers in such cases. A man who has shed blood in battle loses the reluctance to take life fore by mere civilians. Soldiers who have been long leased from discipline lose that me chanical habit of self-control which imposes a check upon them while still regimented. In addition to this, an old soldier sees danger from the near ap proach of a numerous mob more clearly than a civilian ; and age and want of practice have somewhat relaxed his nerves. Partly from dis regard of the lives of others, partly from a greater liability to panic than other men— the old pensioners appear to us the very worst class that can be employed in civil disturbances. And the matter is not mended when they are placed without an officer under the command of some civic func tionary. But luckily the irritation of the honest workmen did not overbear their Scotch prudence and induce them to impart a new character and other aims to the tumult. The last advice' received at the time we write, relate to the *tato of attain at 2 rat. progreu. GANLE CERTIFICATES FOR KILLING IiAItES BILL. Mr. COLVILLE moved th e second reading of this bill. Mr. MACKENZIE hoped the hon. gentleman would allow him to introduoe clauses extending the operation of the bill to ScotlAnd. Mr. CI. BERKELEY gave notice of his intention to mows clauses to the effect of preventing persons from using guns under this bill before sunrise and after sunset; to absolve from liability to the certificate duty those who followed hounds or greyhounds when the person who ownal them possessed a game certificate . • and to extend protection to private property in the neigh bourhood of royal foreste,which was often much injured by the deer Col. SIBTIIORP would not oppose the second reading of the bill; but would oppose every clause in committee, for he looked on the bill as the most futile he ever saw, except the absurd one of the hon. member for Minichester, who it was evident did not know a pig from a pointer. (Liughter.) The bill was then read a second time. The house adjourned at 6 o'clock. ELECTION COMMITTEES.—YEsTeItDAY. BEWDLEY.—Further evidence in proof of the bribery and treating alleged in the petition was heard. Committee adjourned to this day. Ittawtcit.—This committee met for the first ime. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham, in opening the case of the petitioners, stated that Mr. John Attwood, the sitting memtur, was opp •IIPII on the ground of bribery and treating. Counsel further stated that Mr. Attwood had purchased considerable house property in the borough of liervrich, which he had let to tenants at low ratio, on condition that they voted on all occasions of election for Mr. Attwood or his nominee. The poorer voters had been accommodated with loons of money on a similar condition. The learned counsel said that, in addition to this, he was prepared to prove several cases of direct bribery and treating during the progress of the election. The rest of tht day's proceedings consisted of preliminary evidence in proof of agency. LISCOLS.—The committee appointed to inquire in to the allegations of the petition against the return of Chas. Seely, E-q., one of the members for the borough of Lin coln, met for the first time. The grounds of petition, us stated by Serjeant %Vrangham, are bribery, and a regular a% stem of treating carried on for a long period autrceiletit to the late election. The modas operandi was the establishment of convivial societies, under the names of "Free and Easies" and " l'ig and Whistle " clubs, to consist of voters, and each nirinber present to contribute Gd., the remaining expense of each symposium being defrayed by Mr. Seely. A great at- traction at the clubs consisted of the mutton pies of the hnn. member, who, it appeared, is a hiker and miller. The " Free and Easies " wer, held at the various publierhouses in the town on the condition that the respective landlords should vote for Mr. Set ly, while the more aristocratic " l'ig and Whistle " confined itself to one p irtieular locality. The day was occupied in the examination of witnesses in support of petitioner's ease. 0-7 MAILS The mail. for British North America, Bermuda, and the United etstsh will be made no on the evening of the loth Match.

Mn A LONDON, THURSDA Y,MARCH9 TIIE nominal scrutiny of the national income and expenditure annually instituted by parliament is, to use a vulgar word for a shabby trick, little better than humbug. The House of Commons is allowed to discuss the army, navy, and ordnance estimates; to take a flying shot at the " miscellaneous estimates" — a supplemental budget of small vote a required to pay for odds and ends in all departments; and now and then, by special favour, to argue about the merits and demerits of a particular tax ; but on no occasion is a fair statement submitted to it of the whole annual ex penditure distributed under its various heads. Are there five among the oldest members of the House of Commons who can tell us how much is paid one year with another for the support of our judicial establish ments? A vote is taken towards the expenses of the Bankruptcy and Insolvent Courts, or the new County Courts, and so forth ; but no account is submitted to parliament of what is paid for our whole judicial ma chinery, from the Court of Chancery downwards. The consequence is, that most proposed reforms in the ad ministration of law are gladly seized upon as an ex cuse for establishing new courts, and getting. new votes to maintain them ; the old courts are in the meanwhile kept up at the old cost. When a manufacturer adopts new machinery he gets rid of the old in whole or in part, and gains by eco nomy as well as by efficiency in the change ; hut our old law machinery is kept working away at the old expense in addition to the new, and we lose in purse without gaining much in any other way. This juggle would be impossible were an explicit statement laid before parliament every year of all the money expended upon our courts of law, and the manner in which every pound of it is applied. What is here remarked about our expendi ture on legal institutions is true of our expenditure on education, in support of the national church, on the Post-office, and so forth. A large amount of our annual expenditure is clandestine, and never passes under the investigation of parliament. While this practice is allowed to continue, any systematic and efficacious economy on a large scale is impossible. The members of the House of Commons are made (voluntary or in voluntary) dupes, and kept squabbling about the smallest modicum of the national expenditure, while all sorts of peculation and misappropriation may, for aught they know, flourish in the rest. A return moved for by Dr. BOWRING, and delivered yesterday, comes most aptly to illus trate the working of a part of this system. It is a return "of all amounts paid into the Ex chequer, but deducted for costa of collection or any other purpose, from the gross receipts of the various revenue departments; and of all amounts re ceived by departmento of expenditure from any other yesterday, and represent order as restored ; and we may hope with something like confidence that this appa rently unpremeditated and isolated outbreak of popular fierceness will subside without further bad conse- quenoes. The civil authorities appear to have acted with promptitude and good sense as soon as they were made aware of the riot. That they were taken by surprise does not appear to afford any just ground of blame. The tumult has every mark of an improvised disturbance. The theory of mobs is still very imper fectly understood. The same people will be seen at one time enduring with heroic long-suffering the most acute privations; at another breaking out in reckless fury apparently on account of some trivial provoca tion. All that we know is, that in every country, under every form of government, such efftr veseenees occasionally recur; and that they are uni formly marked by aimless destruction and sufferings on the part of the objects of popular ill-will for the moment--sufferings gi nerally more severe and protracted on the part of the active participators in the outrages. It is scarcely ever possible to fore tel when a riot may break out: crowds with knitted brows, clenched hands, and muttered curses have been known to disperse without any acts of violence ; and crowds which have begun with practical jokes have been known to proceed to wanton insolence, thence to anger at the interference of the magistracy, and lastly to plunder and destruction. And when the wave of the populace is np, too often all attempts to stem it are unavailing; like the ocean wave, it only stops when it has submerged as much of the eart h's surface as its volume suffices to cover. Enough for our present purpose that the Glasgow riot appears to have been unpreconcerted and isolated. It has nothing of a political character about it : it was a mere effervescence of the hungry, in which, as usual, the parties least deserving of compassion took the most prominent part. Such outbreaks are only seriously dangerous when they occur simultaneously in several places, or recur frequently in one or more places. The insurrectionary disposition then becomes chronic, and, with deference to a certain class of alarmists we speak it, only the more dangerous from being what is called nan-political. This frequency, however is rarely, if ever, observed where there is not some real grievance at the bottom. Though our intelligence is as yet vague and appa rently exaggerated, it seems pretty certain that the riot at Glasgow has been imitated at Edinburgh. It may be English prejudice ; but when we consider the stinted allowance uniformly made to Scotch paupers, and the fact that in almost every case the pauper is compelled to extort this dole by a law-suit, we are only surprised that these insurrections of the belly should not be of more frequent recurrence. A little better feeding, less grudgingly administered, might prove a sedative. GERMANY. DISTURBANCES AT AIUNICII AND lIAMBUItG. We continue to give a summary of the news from the German States up to the latest dates. According to a Berlin correspondence of the 4th instant, published in the (Moyne G,re,tte of the 7th, the shares of the Prussian bank fell 20 per cent. in the two days succeeding the arrival of the intelligence of the recent events in France. It appears, how ever, by the same article, that people have in a great measure recovered from the panic, and that they in dulge in the hope that, after all, peace will be main tained. The police authorities of Berlin have forbid den persons attending public reading-rooms to make remarks aloud on the intelligence published in the various journals. Schoolmasters are also forbidden to speak to their pupils respecting recent events in France. The committee of the United Diet was to have been dissolved on the 6th instant. It is now certain that the war reserves of the 7th and Bth army corps have been called out. The com mittee of the United Diet has petitioned the govern ment not to promulgate the new law relating to the penal code before it is submitted anew to the United I )iet. The following paragraph is taken from the Allyc. ;swine l'reussische Zeibrug : It was not with unfounded hope that we lately ureed the German princeaand the German races to be united, "and ti,rouith their unity strong." We are far from entertaining the idea of an intervention in the internal affairs of France, but we must recommend the Germans to watch closely the movements of France, and to be prepared for war in order to maintain peace. In the east and the west the north and the south of Germany the press has unanimously exclaimed : " Let there be no intervention, but, above all, let the inde pendence of Germany be maintained." It is thus the Rhenish, the Silesian, and the South German journals speak. A numerously-signed petition in favour of reform was forwarded, on the nth inst., from Dusseldorf to the King of Prussia. Amongst the concessions claimed are-1. A real representation of the people, with a " deciding voice, on the part of the members of the Diet, on all questions relating to legislation and taxation." 2. Equality of all religious commu nities with regard to civic rights. 3. Unlimited freedom of the press. 4. Trial by jury fur all poli tical offenders, and in all cases of prosecution of the press. 3. Personal freedom. 6. Progressive taxa uon, according to property. 7. Protection for the working classes. 8. Communieations of the penal code to the representatives of the people. 9. Free right of association. 10. Establishment of a German parliament. The town council of Cublentz has forwarded a similar petition to the Kiug. The garrison at Aix-la. Chapelle has been re inforced, and fresh troops are shortly expected there. The Dortsehe Zritting states that on the 3rd inst. the King of Bavaria recognised the French republic, and that state councillor Von Voltz has been nomi- I nated Minister of the Interior ad interim, vice Herr Berks. The French ambassador at Munich has given in his adhesion to the new government in France, and has been confilmed in his post. Serious disturbances broke out in Munich on the night of the 2nd inst. All the windows of the ex-Minister of the Interior (Herr Berks) and several even of the royal residence were smashed by the populace. The above individual had rendered himself unpopular by his patronage of; or rather subserviency to, the famous Lola Montes. Barricades were erected in several streets, but they were soon destroyed by the military, who at half-past nine p.m. received marching orders. At one a.m. tranquillity was restored. The people of Nuremberg have forwarded to the King a numerously signed petition in favour of com prehensive reforms. It is now certain that the destruction of the official residence of the M nister of Foreign Affairs at Carlsruhe was the work of incendiaries. We find, by letters from Darmstadt of the 4tb, that the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt has conceded to his subjects the liberty of the press, a civic guard, the jury system, and publicity and oral examination in courts of justice. We stated yesterday that the Duke of Nassau had returned, and granted the reforms demanded by the people. A letter from Wiesbaden, dated March 4, says the Grand Duke of Nassau, whose return was expected with impatience, returned at 4 o'clock this day. Immediately on his arrival be repaired oa foot to the Château; and, ascending the balcony, he ad dressed the immense crowd of inhabitants who were assembled in the Grande Place in the following terms : Nassovinns,—The demands which you have addressed to me, and the obtaining of which has been promised you in my name by my ministers, and guaranteed by my mother and my brother, I ratify and will keep. Have con fidence in me, as I also count upon your fidelity and your courage, should our country be menaced, and I should need your aid. Meantime return to your homes, and place con fidence in me, as I also place confidence in you. This declaration, so publicly and frankly made, was received with immense applause. A spirit of cheer fulness pervaded all, and the streets resounded till a late hour in the night with the rejoicings of the people, which will be re-echoed to-morrow through out the whole of Nassau. The city was brilliantly illuminated, and everything like discontent has dis appeared. We have Frankfort papers of the 6th. On the 4th the high senate caused to be presented to the legis lative assembly a project of law relative to the liberty of the press, a project which is grounded in its essential part upon a law of the Baden press of the 28th December, 1841. The project of law rela tive to public proceedings in criminal matters will be presented shortly to the said assembly, and it is this project which will contain the disposition rela tive to the institution of a jury. The freedom of the press and the permanent aboli tion of the censorship have been officially proclaimed in Frankfort, in tho name of She leginintaTe astenbly. An alarming riot took place at Bamberg on th e night of the 3d inst. During the tumult the hom e of the burgomaster, llirr Kellingliusen, was ran. sacked from top to bottom. Numerous rioters weal arrested. The next day the burgomaster resigned bin functions. According to the latest intelligence as was quiet. Fiom the Grand Duchy of Baden we learn that at Carlsruhe, on the 3th, the Minister of the laterite had addressed to the second chamber of the States a letter containing what foilows "The grand ducal government will not apply th e previsional exec ptional resolutions of Carlsbad, Frank. fort, and Vienna, as they no longer harmonise wits the presrnt circumstances, and as on the other hand the legislation of the country suffices. 2nd. A s t o what concerns duty towards the constitution; as early as the 17th Septemba, DM, a new foam of oath was introduced by the military, in whi c h obedience to the laws, and consequently to the eon. stitution, is mentioned ; so that the desires expresso' by the chamber have been attended to in that re . spect. The oath of homage of the ei izcns, and get of public functionaries and military officers, sh a ll cost lin the promise of nbedietne to the constitution. The oath shall be taken again by public funetionariea I and by military officers and eniplayt,s. Gluvestaeut will present to the States projects of law. 1. To re. move all restrictions to legal rights for religious mat ters. 2. To establish the responsibility of ministers, 5. For all public officers to be liable to be t r i a d, without the previous authorisation of the mini s t ry . 6. For the abolition of feudal rights ; fur the supple. sion of privileged jurisdictions, and to secure the is. dependency of the judges. It appears by the Cologne Casette and the Deatscha Zealot!, that the inhabitants of Leipsic are gristly dissatisfied' with ".the answer given by the k ing s t Saxony on the 3rd inst. to the depute , iun of the town council that presented a petition in favour of reform. The excitement was semen hat allayed by the an. nouncement that the municipal authorities had re. solved to meet on the next day (the 4th), in order to draw up an address for the dismissal of ministers. PARIS, TUESDAY. From an occasional Corre.lorrt, This 18 Mardi Grad in Paris (Fat Tut Kisy ), the l e g day of Carnival, the finest weather possible, and every soul on the Boulevar's gaily dist-sod and gaily look ing m popinjays, but well behaved, with no masks, no noise, no songs. Yet whilst this gay atal well dressed crowd began to throng the Boulevards, g different scene took place at no great distance. It seems that a band of some four bundled armsd --- v•cluals had, after the capture of the Tuileries, re solved to remain in it, and make it their quarters. They slept on the sofas, such u were not broken, got camp beds, slept, lived, cooked, and made them selves at home in the Tuileries. The authorities copied the guard-houses with the national guard, bat one of this band always stationed himself as sentry ' alongside of the national guard sentry. It was soon found that these gentry were not of the most honest kind. For they contrived to force open doors and drawers, and to pass objects of value through the gratings of the Tuileriee, to companions outride. At first, food was sent to them, as to soldiers un a pod, but this being withheld they contrived to procure some. At last the Prefect, Caussidiere, begged them to dislodge. They refused flatly, declared that they had fitly rounds of ammunition per man, and amid first set tire to the chateau, it' attack( d, and they fight their way out. How dislodge these desperate men ? An assault could scarcely be asked of the ~ tood citizens who compose the national guard Police there is as yet noue. The soldiers have declined at tacking the people. The only corps that could be got were the youth of the College of St. Cyr—i. e., the sons of the best families of the kingdom. The pris feet accepted their offer of reducing the brigands; and the latter were summoned last night. In reply, they offered to decamp on condition that each one of them was to have a pension of 8(10 francs a year, and that none of them were to be searched on march. ing out. The prefect refused these honest terms, and gave them till ten this morning to submit. At ten this morning the boys of St. Cyr, well-armed, marched into the court of the Tuileries, with a crowd of Parisians gathered thousands strong, to witness the fun of the chateau taken by assault. They were in part disappointed ; for the brigands, frightened at the determined aspect of the St. Cyf scholars, consented to march out without setting fire to the palace. Some were searched ; all had dollars in abundance. Some were marched to the Hotel de Ville, and acme escaped. 'too much praise cannot be bestowed on the scholars of St. Cyr. Some fears begin to be entertained of the results at M. Lamartine's circular ; although no one doubts the views of NI. Lamartine himself to be pacific. Whilst Neufchatel has flung off the yoke of Pt mail and made litself wholly Swiss, Geneva, it appears, is anxious rot to be Swiss, and to become French. M. Fray beg come from Geneva to Paris to negotiate its annelatim; and as the Genevese government and people desire an nexation it will be impossible to refuse then'. But it is almost impossible to take Geneva without a poitionof Savoy along with it. Savoy appertained to France according to the treaties of 1814 ; and it is to the fron- tier of 1814 that M. Lamartine would recur. Bat Piedmont, however anxious to oblige France, and to have its support, would, of course, only cede Savoy on the condition of bring indemuified with the Milanese. It is an arrangement not at all unlikely to take place. The news from Spain is no less stirring than from the Italian frontier. The moderados weaned madly in clined to affront republican France. They have ordered an army to be collected on the frontier, and have bents Duke to bring back the Duchess of Nlontpensier. They had better leave the little duchess where she She suffered more than any of the royal family. Haviug been left behind in the Tuileries she took re fuge in a wood closet, and put on a servant's clothe and apron, whilst the mob got possession of her hies bonnet, and bore it about on a pike. In disguise the duchess succeeded in reaching on foot, through the invaders of the chateau, the embassy of Portu from whence she was conducted to England by CoL lhierry. It has proved a sorry match fur the Infanta —she has lost for ever the two millions of francs wrung from the Spanish government at the time of the mar riages. The last of this money was paid away but a week ago for the purchase of a forest near Poitiers, now under sequestration. So much for the rate of one of the royal heroines of the Spanish marriages. Active measures are taking for supporting el restoring credit. A committee has sat to-day :it is thought there will he an issue of hoes do free r, cot fur the purpose of keeping up the credit of the banks, but for enabling the provincial towns to supply the population with work. Much of the tranquillity of the kingdom depends on the latter object be BRUSSELS, MARea 7. The Belgian government have taken the first step towards clearing this country of " obnoxious " foreign ers ; bat this first step has been a singularly impru dent one, and moreover one very likely to give deep and lasting offence to numerous Belgians. A German litterateur named Marx, who was formerly the editor of a Rhenish paper, and who, during his residence Brussels, bas been chiefly occupied wi h the study et political economy, has been marched off to the freer tiers, and expelled from the hitherto hospitable soil of Belgium. only fault appears to be that he was a leading member of the so-caller' " Democratical In- ter national Association" of Belgium. lie was arrested whilst in bed, dragged away from hi , : wife andfamillt conveyed to prison, where he was detained all nie, and the next morning conveyed to the frontier. Ws wife, a German lady, most respectably connected in the Rhenish provinces, was also thrown into prison in the company of some unfortunate women. This affair has caused the greatest excitement amongst the nu merous members of the association referred to. ROME, Fell. 2.8 : The indefatigable Ventura came out yesterday with a new pamphlet, the topic being, the contemplated chamber of peers, as part of the Roman constitnuona l charter. The eloquent, but not very judicious, Padre , maintains that this territory, being in quite an excep tional and unprecedented position (seti genera), 1 5 quires a distinct recognition of the e cclesiastical element in its ruling power ; and hence he will not admit lords from the laity in his Utopian upper bocce, but would confine it to the red stockings ! Was there ever auch balderdash seriously propounded in the face of modern Italy ?
