- ~~~ • . . tiviri proper, at the earliest opportunity." Some such worth wripld meetthe wishes of all. Mr. HORNER observed that the preamble was generally the last thing considered, but here it was the first. He would not be satisfied unless the Com mittee came to some specific decision on the subj ect; and he thought the clause he had proposed might be so modified as to meet every obj ection . He was net very sure of the words , 4 no longer, Experience bad sliewn they were much to be distrusted, as con taining one meaning. in one session and a different meaning in another.—( Rear, end a Largh.) ° Mr. S. '':l-IORNTON said, the Directors of the BAnk were not altogether so inactive as had been re presented. They tacre as anxious as possible to do every thing they could for public advantage; and the neafneot that the Exchange became favourable, they vsonitee s aitainly resume payments in cash. •Mr: 4 l-IUSKISSQN arid Mr. SMYTH explained. Lord MILTON said, that while the preamble of every Bill expre'ssed the desirableness of cash pay-' *tenth these had never taken place. The present Moment was. certainly unfavourable for continuing the restrictions. A great fall in price had recently taken place, which was now succeeded by arise, and the continuance of these restrictions would afford a ' strong encouragement •to country bankers to ;Sate paper. Unless the prices fell• considerably beyond what they had been, trade must be curtailed. 'The House of Commons sheluld speak boldly to the Batik; for by merely passing the Act in the same mode as last year, we were encouraging them to go on in their present' career.— (Rear).—He should tell them it was their duty to teatime cash payments, as an act et jos lice to the public, though attended with loss to them., delves. He deprecated the present-system as afford.' frig too great facilities to the Chancellor of the Ez-1 chequer in borrowing, which he could not otherwise have. Mr. ,GRENFELL moved the insertion of the words “no hanger," in the preamble. He believed the Bank Directors, , as individuals, were very sincere its their wishes to accommodate the public, but as a commercial body they were bound to look to them,. selves, and mind their profits. By the continuance, of this Act they gained 41800.000 annually, making the whole of their profits of the public to amount to' A 1,500.000 per annum. ' Mr. MANNING was not aware off the propriety of tying up the hands of the Directors, as it was im possible to foresee what Political occurrences might take place. The affairs of human We were. envelo. 'Tied in obi:entity, and, kwas not proper to limit the powers of the Directory ai be knew they would .do every thing they craold foe the general interests of the Empire. Lord Mtr.rott and Mr. GitnißLL explained. Lord A. HAMILTON said the House was now labouring . under a difficulty—how to express its ear. seitoess In teiis cause, iri the best manner. He sup ported the insertion of the words 4 , no longer," as experience poin:ed out * propriety of th eir being so insertid. The Bank wire long ago bound to take precautions for meeting the public demand, and he certainly thought them as much bound last year as they colid be in this year. Atter some further gene ral remarks by the Noble Lord, the House diiided— For the Amendment 67-w Against it 133—Majority for Ministers 76. • Mr. HORNER then Moved an enacting clause— s, providing that the Directors of the Bank should, without delay. take such measures of precaution a s , would enable them to resume teach payments as early after the passing of the _ kce as in their judgment should appear practicable and safe." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that this was a declarition which had bet ter be inserted in the preamble of the Bill. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that if the object on both sides were the same, it was of little conseqnence how it was attained : he thought the clause much to be preferred to the mere notice in the preamble; and if the former appeared rci convey any centure, it might be attend to suit the delicate feelings of the Ilink Directors. It was a point upon which many Gentlemen Were in the dark, whether the present Bill was the measure of the' Chancellor of the Ex chequer, for the public benefit, or of the Directors, for their own ? he was: hound to presume the former, lied to believe that the Directors,. according so their own statement, were gentlemen, only living for the purpose of resenting rash payments, and willing to inundate the country with gold in a week, it the cb.totellor of the 4zehequer would but allow them. 4.--Why, then, did they resist the clause of his Ho nourable Friend (Mr. Heiner), which Was framed *to second their own wishes t Without it, the Bill 'meld be nugatory. However demure the Bank Di rectors might Irok, and whatever professions they might make, they seemed resolved to act in opposi tion to these looks and professions; they had still upon their countenances all' tbil beautiful simplicity' evil innocence they haat worn for the last 19 years— always pretending to be ready to pay in gold, yet, when the time came, always finding some reason to keep their money in their own hands. He entertain ed great personal respect for the Directors indivi. dually I but, speakhig of themeollectively t he could not help saying that they seemed seri - desirous of re taining in their hands the annual gain of 41300,000. Under these circumstances, what course was left but to hold over them a clause like that proposed ? • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mt .plained, repeating that the preamble was the fit place for the mention of preparation. Mr. HORNER observed upon the inconsistency of the Directors, who professed to be ready to obey the orders of Parliament, yet resisted most firmly all kinds of instruction. The Committee then divided—For Mr. Hornet's clause, 54—p Against it, 144—Majority, 90. On our re-admission to the Gallery we found the Committee discussing the declaration in the preamble, proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, viz. t h at t h e Bill was enacted, o in order to afford time to the Directors of the Bank of England to make such preparations as weak! enable them to resume cash payments. St Mr. BARING spoke in favour of the declaration. - Mr. HOR'NER called on his Honourable Friend (My. Manning). who hid, on a recent occasion, said, that if Parliament gavwdirections on the subject, the Bank would immediately take such steps as would prep's . ' e for carrying those directiona into effect, simply tO state, whether - ha would conlidct the words pro: i. 'posed to be inserted in the preamble of qs• Bill as a !__ snalcsent direction for that purpose. . A pause ensued ; and then loud and repeated cells fora Mr. Manning." Mr. THORNTON contended, that no individual Member ought to be required to gixe his opinion of the eunslruction of a _clause in an Act'of Parliament ; and proceeded to argue, that the best mode of return ing to a money circulation, and not profit, was the object of the Bank in this question. Mr. HORNER said, that he had not mulled the opinion of the Honourable Gentleman who had just spoken, but of his Honourable Friend, •to whom he repeated hip question. • The call for " Mr. Meaning" was again loud and long, and fruitless. Mr. HORNER...." I hare pot a question to my Honourable Friend, to which he has not thought proper to give any answer ; I will now put a question to which any man who hears me. can find no dirt. ~culty is answering—ls not all this perfectly intelli• rgible I—(lliar, Rear, Near I) The motion was then agreed to, and the House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be re exived on Monday. Lord CASTLEREAGH moved the second read• ing of the Alien Bill, but at the suggestion Alf Mr. BARING, consented to postpone it until - Wednesday. The House. went into a Committee on the Irish Assessed Taxes, when several Resolutions weteagreed to, and a Bill - ordered to be brought in in pursuance bf them. • • Mr. PEEL. brought in a Bill to secure the Fees of the : Clerk of the Pleas pf the - Court of Exchequer in Irefaod, while the right*of appointment to that office was in litigation r —Tiiißill was read a first time, and ordered eo be realm, second time on MondiY. The Parish Apprentice Dill was read a second time, to be committed on Monday next. • The tither o.ders of the Day being dispAsed of, the House adjourned at twelve o'clock till Monday.

Bills Is. 41. pr. Last night Lord CasrutaxAn% after a very ap propriate speech on the subject, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Civil List. One prime object in view is so to arrange the matters connected with this system, that all false and mistaken views may be removed from the public mind. It is certainly true that nine out of ten (pro- bably a much greater proportion) of the community, imagine that the total charge for the Civil List is ex pended in charges created by-the splendour of the domestic comforts of the PAINCZ RIUMNT, whereas by tar the greater portion is actually voted for, and expended on the public service. It would certainly he better that all expenses for the latter should be completely separated. It will theta be seen that though the expenses of the Sovereign have eateded the sum appropriated, this excess has been much less than most people imagine ; and with this the unusual calls for splendour within these few years ought to have due consideration. In one word, tbnugh for several years a certain nominal sum was appropriated to the expenses of the First Magistrate, it most be recollected that its real value was at least one-fourth less than its nominal; and it must also be recollected that this difference could not be compen sated by using any of the means enjoyed by other membets of the community, to enhance the value of their property. Our argument will be best understood by thore who have paid proper attention to another subject, which was* also last night before the House—The effects produced by the Bank Restriction Bill. A Bank Note as promise to pay on demand a certain quan tity of gold or silver : when it will not command this quantity it is at a discount—nor will it then buy as - much corn as the quantity of gold which it promised to pay will buy in the market. We are aware that some maintain that the Bank note, in such a ease, has not sunk in value, bat the gold risen in price : but this is only to say in other words that the pro. mise to pay has lost its credit, which it certainly has when it cannot be enforced. Had gold risen in other countries as in England, there might have been something specking in the argument that paper had not been depreciated ; but at filambergh, Rotterdam. and other places on the Continent, when gold was here at its nominal high price , t4e - price remained the same as before, while Bank Notes cotdd not bead for more than 15s. 141. or 13s.—Now all this differ. ' nee operated as a real reduction of the Mud vale: of the =missal allltOWli of the Civil List.—All this dif ference, instead of gob,* to supporttbe spkadoar of ' the throne, has gone to create Mann to the holders of Bank Stock, and to increase their dividends I We are happy, however, to see something like i disposition in the House to tie the Bank to a day, be. yond which it should not defer its payments. in cash. Two years is the time and on, - .ad pe isapr, for pre. mires to pay ON DEMAND, not being binding cries issuers of Notes. We hesitate not to say that the pc iiod is, by far, too remote t and that tbere is great danger that, before that tulle 'arrives, new excuses will be found for procrastinating the term—especially if no clause shall be introduced into the Bill prohibi ting any farther division of psofith whether u n kiNe, or by an increase of dividend, tat ofter.Pn7- 1 meats in cash shall have been resumed.. We cannot refrain from - again pressfig bn . tho at tention of oar Readers, and particularly Members of Parliament, the Bill which is to be submitted thettt, ai : 0 immediately after the mem, to ripisis tie AI e' Wow/ is/lava, employed in our great manufactur ing establishments, as in Cotton and Silk Mills, &c. It is undeniable that in many works of the kind de scribed, the proprietors have introduced numerous Wholesome regulations for the protection of the chil dren. Some of them have, for along time, restricted their boors of labour to a period suited to their strength, and have prohibited receiving children below a certain age ; but it is equally undeniable that, on occasions of urgent demand for their products, some proprietors are less considerate ; and we have even known children admitted to work from motives of compassion for their parents, at an age when. instead of endangering their future health, every care should be taken to lay the foundations of a vigorous consti tution Inconsiderate parents often press the pro prietors to make their family an exception to the ge neral rule, and to allow their infants to be employed. This should be guarded against by Legislative inter ference. The general welfare should supersede every other consideration, and every practice should be pre; vented which, by its operation, may tend to produce a future puny and sickle race. We have received the Paris Papers of Wedoeiday. Their contents, as may be seen by the subjoined cx. tracts, are not of the highest imporbutoe. General CAMBRONZ is stita prisoner.

PARIS, MAY 1. • The balloon in which Mademoiselle Garnerin as cended came down, at seven o'clock in the evening, at the •illage of Sarey, six leagues from Paris. Ma demoiselle Garnerin, after rising to the height of 2500 fathoms, descended with her parachute at Su mos. She says she experienced all the astral acct.' of such a great height —cold, a contraction of the chest, very Jacek to bear; the feebleness of articu lated sounds, which made but a very slight impres sion on the eats ; and, finally, a swelling and rapture of the blood-vessels of the mouth. The appeal of the King's Procurator against Ge neral Cambrone prevents his being set at liberty. The Council of Revision will take up she subject next Friday. An English horse-race lately took One near Vienna. The parties were Prince Lichtenstein and a rich Englishman. The wager was one thousand clouts, and the latter shined them.

Three of these regiments ban received orders to return to England, namely, three regiments of dragoons.— However, that the number of cavalry with the British army may not be lessened, a sguadros upon the war establishment is to be added to every regiment that remains in France. These are shortly expected at Ostend. The infantry and artillery remain upon the same footing as before. A report has been circulated for some days, that the Russian troops, under General Woronzow, were abetit to leave Mauberge, Avesnes„ and the environs, and remove to the Upper Rhine; but this report is wholly unfounded. Letters from Cambray say, that the Duke of Wel lington is expected there very soon. It we may credit these letters, his journey was occasioned by important reasons, which will soon be made public.

CUM NA TION..A serious misunderstanding, Albin threatens the peace and tranquillity of uar frootkrs, still exists between our Commissioners for running the new. boundary line, and the Chiefs of that Confederacy. A determined opposition• has been made to their farther progress, and we understand they have sus pended their operations until a sufficient military forte arrives to protect them from indignity and injury. Central Gaines, who is now in the nation, has or dered all the disposable military force of the United States now at Fort Hawkins, among which is a corn. pang of light artillery, to march immediately to Mitchell. This precautionary measure. we hope, will have its desired effect, and that the misguided savage will avert that destruction which threatens the ex tinction of his nation., Yesterday Carlton House was thronged with dis %lavished characters, paying their .respectiel con gratulations to the Pima, REGENT upon the mar riage of his Royal Daughter.
