The Petition was connected with the subject of the commercial distress, which it was the object of a ! - ill on their Lordships' table to correct. The Petitioners called the attention of their Lordships to the state of the Usury Laws, whichein their opinion, had greatly aggravated the distress which had pre vailed in the commercial world. Their Lordships could scarcely be aware of the extent t.f privation and loss of capital, which had arisen from the restrictions upon interest of money, within the last six . months.' That which the law had fixed as the fettled rate of in. terest had operated in the most unfavourable way. It had been the ruin of many necessitous individuals: The Noble Marquis did not speak so much of the effect of the Usury Laws, on the landed interest, bui he drew the attention, of the House to the' effect those laws had upon all classes. If distress came upon an indivi dual, the law said he should not find relief, because no lender of money could take more than the settled rate of interest. What was it but saying that, from the moment a man had recourse to borrowing money, the wisdom of the law cut him off from that resource. The man in distress could not get money by legal means. It was like telling a man he should not insure his life for less than ten years, or in other terms, that a man in health might insure, but when in a bad state of health, if he should wish to insure his life for the benefit of bis family, the laW' could step in and prevent him. Capital to this country must ever depend I en the quantity of supply to be obtained on demand. The advance of money must depend on many eircumstaneer, both political and commercial, which produced variation in the barometer to which commerce was subject. The law might as well attempt to fix the mercury in the instrument to which the Noble Marquis allu4ed, as fix the interest which particular events might fix to money. lie ' therefore should entreat their Lordships to attend to what had been passing in the country in the course of the last six months, and consider seriously whether they should not give effect to the wishes of the _Petitioners. The Petition having been read, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he thought it right to state that he communicated some time ago with a Deputation from the body which presented the Petition, and these Gentlemen declared, in a Meeting at which the Noble Earl was present, that they should ant have thought of malting an application for the Repeal of the Usury Jaws, had it not been for the late state of public distress. At no very distant period their Lordships would most probably give the subject due attention.— The Earl himself was perfectly satisfied that the existing state of the law could not remain upon any sound principle.—The Petition was laid on the table. The Mutiny Bills, and the Bank Advances Bill, were read the second time. A Message from the Commons brought op several Private Bills, which nitre read the first time. PROMISSORY HOPIS SILL. Earl GROATENOR rose on the Order for the third reading of this Bill, and observed that he was anxious to remedy what he considered a great defici:ncy in the measure. The Noble Earl added, that he hal been desirous, in common with - the Members of both Houses of Parliament, to support his Majesty's Ministers in the late crisis; and had the measure then upon the table been that which it was at first intended to be, he should have offered no objection ; but he complained that it did not afford sufficient protection to the lower classes, who had no means of compelling the country bankth to pay gold for their one and two pound . notes.— The Noble Earl wished to propose a clause, to remedy that deficiency. He admitted that he was not sanguine enough to suppose that he should succeed; but still the satisfaction would remain of having done hit duty in' protesting against the measure. He knew it might be said that the owners of these country notes might pay in limk of England small notes; but when Parliament said the country bank notes should only run three years longer, they were bound also to say the parties holding them should have payment not in Bank of England notes, but coin. The further they went from London the stronger became the objection to s small nem of every deveriptlon. The Noble Earl concluded by moving to add a clause to the following effect :—" And be it further•enacted, if any person shall apply for the' . . payment of such Dotes in cash, and the pastita issuing same shall refuse to pay such sum or sums, for which such notes or drafts are presented, and the money be due foe the space of ten days; it shall be lawful for one or more magiurates of the town /replace, to award such sumx as may be claimed by the panics, and enforce payment of the same by distress." The Earl of LIVERPOOL obje:ted to the cliuse proposed by the NAle Earl, because it would make an alteration in the general law, which had nothing to with the present measure. Whether such an alteration might be wise or not, he would not now undertake to discuss. The Noble Earl seemed not to understand the reason why . the Bank of England were allowed to issue small notes for eight months longer. it was to, prevent any difficulty which might arise from country bankers calling in their notes im mediately, hod reducing the currency of the coantry too suddenly. Eu the object of the Bill was not, as the Noble Lord appeared to conceive, to suppress one and two pound notes at once, but to ex tinguish them gradually at-the expiration of three years. Earl GROSVENOR, said that his may object was to prevent the recurrence of a refusal on the pan of the country bankers to pay in gold, by rendering geld payments imperative. The Mud of LIVERPOOL said, that there had been only one instance of a country back tarsals*, and that Only for a time, so p a y in gold, and that it was not likely to recur. That circum stances had been the cause of nearly three millions of gold being drawn from the Bank to the country. The clause was then - negatived without a division, and the. Bill read i th:rd time and passed.

He however proposed to introduce a measure next Session, which be hoped would be more generally applicalle than that of she Noble Lord's, the appli. cation of which was confined to certain local districts. This he (Mr. Peel) would do, if the Noble Lord placed his Bill in his hands; but if be objected to that, be (Mr. Peel) would support the Noble Lord's measure. Sir W. W. W YNN did not think the Bill would be expedient to be adopted in Wales. • Lord ALTHORPE had no objection; on the contrary, he would rather that the Ministry should take the Bill into their own hands. Sir. Secretary PEEL was not prepared to give an answer on the subject. A Message from the Lords announced their assent to the Pro missory Notes' Bill, and some private bills. Lord A. HAMILTON rose, pursuant to notice, to move for Copies of the Petitions to the Pi ivy Council, on the Disfranchisement of the Butgh of Pittenweem— of the References to the Law Officers of the Crown, their Report, and a Copy of the Warrant from the Crown for a new Election. The Noble Lord prefaced his motion by a few ob servations on the st.te of the Representation in Scotland ; and con ch/44hr moving for Copies of all Petitions pre.eoted to the Privy Council from the Burgesses of the Borough of Pittenween since the disfranchisement of that Borough ; also, Copies of any Letters in the Law Offices of the Crown on that subject in 1124—together with the Copies of any Report made thereon, and the Opinions of Counsel' delivered with respect to the same subject. The LORD ADVOCATE had no objection to the production of the Papers as they might be supposed to affect himself, though he thought the warrant for the disfranchisement did not come within the jurisdiction of the House. He should, therefore, oppose the production of the opinions and the official report upon it. lie. A BERCROM BY supported the motion. Mr. Sect et.iry I'EEL thought no case had. been made out for inculpating his Right Hun. Fs iend e Learned Lord, who WAS obliged officially to susscribe the ieport on the case of this Burgh, He should oppose the production of the 1 report of the law officers of the crown, though he had no objection', to the production of the warrant, and the petitions upon the war rant. These were documents of a public nattre, and might be pro duced if it were thought aileiseable for any public purpose, but the former was a confidential and private communication from a Law Officer of the Crown to his Alajesty's Government, and the pro duction - of such a confidential document be cert ainly felt it his' bounden duty to oppose. Mr. HU 31F, supported the motion, and implored the House to upon the disinclination of the Learned Lord and the Bight Hon. Gentleman to afford the information the Noble Mover new sought, as a very dangerous precedent, and highly censurable.

Report, should' be ca ssidered a confidential paper. As the production of these papers, however, was objected to opal chit ground, he would withdriw that part of his motion which related to them. The Motion, thus alctred, was then put and carried without a (mom . . Mr. C. WYNN said, that as the law now stood no person could be sent out in the Civil Service of the East India Company, without having kept four terms in the College. It was the Fact, that at the present ItlOnitig there existed an absolute necessity for a larger number of young men being sent than the College could supply under the restta;nt of the present laws. This increase of demand fot civil functionaries had been occasioned by the great extension of our territory and the increased number of estates which 'had become subsidiary to 'us. In consequence of this great difficulties had arisen in the due administration of jurice. Persons . had been known to conceal ctimei rather than denounEe than, in order to save themselves the inconvenience of under taking a journey perhaps of 100 or 150 miles to the neatest seat of justice. H's intention, therefcire, was to move for 1 acre to bring in a Bill to suspe n d fo r three years the operation of the Act which imposed this limi tation upon the power of sending out writers to India. He was anxious in doing this, to guard against the supposition that he was influenced by. any .feeling of disgust or disapprobation towards tile. College. He believed that institution to have answered its purpose. He would not at the same time deny, that if the pies. tion for providing such an establishmeot had now been an original que.tion, he would have preferred another system of educalon. He thought the system of An. grafting the peculiar acqui , ement, which the particular service demanded, upon the general liberal educatjon which our great public seminaries afforded,.upon the whole better than that of lot ming any exclusive esta. blishmOnt to prepare young men for a particular purspit. He was convinced that the greatest advantages arose from the youths, devoted to different professions, being educated together, that generous emulation without hostility which prevailed amongst them conduced to that formaticin of character, to which the yteatness. of the country might be in a considerable degree ascribed. He would repeat, however, that'great advantages had resulted from the institution of the East India CoUe,e. Since he had held the office which he now unworthily filled, a great and progressive improvement had taken place in the Character of the Civil Servants of the. Com pany—an improvement principally to be' ascribed to this institution, which he therefore thought had fairly answered the purposes for which it was established.— The present question, however, was, whether it was not incapable of furni.hing the requisite number? Some :of the students lailesi,to acquire the minimum of qua lification even In four terms. It might be thought that the most proper coarse would be to increase the esta blishment, but this measure evidently could not produce any intinediatit'resultS. fie thought it more eipedient, therefore, to gttrit permtW to a certain numhar of yoga g men to qualify themselves elsewhere. At 'the esti of three years, the whole subject would again come under discussion; and it Might thee, perhaps, be thought advisable to blend the tuition of the Civil 'Ser vants of the Cempsny with the general studies of the youth of wary other class. With re.pect to the other object which be had in view, be need only explain that there was a clause which had been so construed as to prevent the payment to the representatives of eaters, civil or military, dying during their absence from India of tote all owances due to then. The state of health of osiers in India sometimes required them to go to the Cape, or elsewhere, to re " 'The operation of this clause had,been to induce them to re. , Sinn whilst their restoration was yet imperfect, and in many such instances their lives bad been sacrificed. He should conclude by moving for leave tO bring in a Bill to suspend the Act of I/3 Oen. 3, so far as it related to the appointment of writers to the Rut Indies, and to remove doubts u to the legality of paying the allowances of Officers, civil and military, dying, during their absence from India. Mr. HUME approved of the Bill. He condennied the institution of the College, which he thought bad degraded rather than improved the service. He coptesded toe the necessity of instructing Cadets in the language of Inaia, previous to their leaving Englsnd. Writers could be best educated in ma ot` the Public Schools or Universities. Captain BRADSHAW said, that it was a great mis take to suppose that the instruction of Cadets was neg lected. The parents of that class of youth generally sent out as Cadets wets not so wellable akthe parents of Civilians to afford them extensive instruction. Many of the former would not be able to avail themselves of the appoint ment at all if they were to be compelled to send their sons to the Metropolis or elsewhere, for the purpose of acquiring the Eastern languages. On their arrival in India, their first duty was to attain _ a competent knowledge of the language,and they were not intrusted with a command till they had become fully competent in this fes,net. This he cord assert upon his own knowledge. Sir T. BARING concurred in the opinion of the last speaker. It wrs, he believed, entirely unnecessary that Cadets should be .eructed in England in the native languages of India. He thought the College had done more harm than good. Mr. C. GRAN f vindicated the policy which led to. the establishment of the College. Adam Smith bid said of the East India Company, that they freqt en'ly forgot• their interest as Sovereigns in favour of their interest as a commercial body.— In this instance tilde policy hid been of an opposite nature; they bad tol gotten their inter. sr as n commercial body in 1tiv0nr.....1 their interest as Sovereigns of a great Empire: ibis institution had met with violent opp , lsition ; those who expected patronage disliked it because it *required :be 'alliance of qualifications with patronage. Others dis liked it from the dread of inn..vation, but it had with stood the hostility of the,e blended interests. He teal • legged comparison for this College in respect to one: cittd good government with any other public seminary the country, and appealed with co. fid. nee to the undoubted fact of an impiove.hent having been pro duced by it in the character of the British functi..narirs in India. The substitution of an examination, merely in lieu of a regulated course of study, war, in his opi n'on, although a plausible, still a very fallacious idea.
