'yr. ELLICE thought it 'Wally abard that there should be a different currency for Eagland, Ireland, and &attend, as that there should be a different corn field for each. For the assimilation of the currency, the Charcellor of the Exchequer bad giSeti him a pledge before he (Mr. Ellice) voted on a former occasion. The Right Hon. Gentleman then said, that it might be a question of time, but it war impossible that a different cut reney could continue for both countries. Now he thought that a middle course might be taken, and that a check Might be devised for restraining over-issues. The best cheek for the purpose was to impose a condition on Bankers to issue paper only in proportion to the amount of the cash deposited in their banks. This was agreeable to the plan pursued in Massa. chussetts where the best possible system of banking prevailed. The first condition of that system was, that when payment was refused for a note, the Bank Charter fell. In our present circumstances we were obliged to call suddenly on all foreign nations for the amount of eight or ten millions due to us, and so we rendered the rest of the world the poorer, and consequently unable to deal with us for our manufactures. He now asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make amends to his friend Malachi Malagrowther for {the hard words be had made use of against him, as this might be the last opportunity he would have of doing so. Mr. CRI PPS thought the English Bankers had as good a right to a Committee of Enquiry as the Scotch Bankers before any alte 'ration took place in the Currency, and expressed a hope that Branch Banks would be established before the next Session of Parliament. Mr. MAXWELL, was of opinion it would be impossible to pay the Taxes imposed upon this Country, if an exclusive metallic cir culation was established.—(The Honourable Gentleman sat down amid loud cries of" Question.") Mr. II USKISS.)N then moved—e , That the Report be brought up and primed," which passed in the affirmative. After which, Sir M . W. II I I)LEY moved the following Resolution That the I louse think it advisable to pledge itself to institute an inquiry next Session into how far the interests of England and Scotland may be affected by different systems of eminency, and to ascertain if any and what means could be taken to alsinaUate the currency of both countries."' The motion, hiving been put to the vote by the &saw, was ne gatived without a division. 'ARION CORN IMPORTATION BILL. Mr. HIM MON brought up the Lords' amendments to this Bill. To a question by a Member, The SI'EAK ER stated, that all the clauses of the Bill, as passed by the House, were returned front the Lords unchanged, with the exception of the clause relative to the arrangements, as to the mode of introducing the foreign corn into the home market, which clause Wall unintelligible before their Lordships had nude it intelligible, and am additional clause was wanted before, which their Lordships attrched to the Bill. The Amendments were then read a first and second time. ARMY HALF-PAY. Mr. HUME said he was sorry at this late hour of the night to detain the House, but-be considered it very important that this subject should be submitted to their consideration. He thought the system of admitting Half-pay Officers to sell their commissions extremely objectionable, as the expense entailed upon the public, was by that means made perpetual. The Hon. Gentleman then alluded to a Return which stated the number of ptesnotions which had taken place since the year 1817 to the present time, and con cluded by moving " That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he may be graciously pleased to employ in his Army, as vacancies should occur, such persons as now are on half pay who are qualified to serve his Majesty, as well as with intent to remove the nation from the burthen at present imrsed oa them, as to reward those who have served in the late war. Lord PALMERSTON disclaimed all idea of following the Hon. Member through the various subjects to which he had alluded, but he would maintain that he was entirely mistaken in his calculations as to the increase of the half-pay. He would take two of the periods adverted to by the Hen. Member. 1822 and 1826, and within this period the Officers upon half-pay had decreased by 676; and there was a 'saving of nearly 40,0001. upon the establishaterq; the ex penses of the year 1822, being 756,0001. whilst that of 1826 was 715,0001. It had also seemed to have escaped the Hou. Member's recollection, that the authority of the Crown was limited. It could not augment the Half-pay List beyond a certain proportion. He hoped it was not meant to be insinuated that commissions were . given to unworthy objects. He thought .h highly desirable that persons connected with the aristocracy, if they had the means, should be induced to purchase. This would tend to prevent any abuse of a standing army, as k connected it with the great interests of the country. Besides, no general Officer was allowed to pur chase over the held of his senior unless that senior declared his in ability or unwillingness to purchase. By the present system justice was done to all parties; for it would be no more just to promote all the Half-pay List than to confine it to those in active service. The proposal of the Hon. Member would have the effect of disgusting every Officer on full pay, and would bring back into active life many who, front their age and infirmities, were utterly unfit for it. They would have Ensigns of forty and fifty, with twelve children. The House might judge what appearance an army would Lave with Their wives and children following the camp. He should oppose the lion. Gentleman's motion. Mr. HUM' replied—The question Was then put and negatived. The House then adjourned, at a gamma Parr 0112, to Wednes day next. ALL LOTTERIES END FOR EVER WITH THIS DRAWING.

They state that the Bill making appropria tion for Ministers to the Congress at ;Panama was re ported without amendment by the Committee of Finance. The Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution submitted by Mr..Bitetacu, relative to the power of the PnEXIDENT to originate embassies without the consent of the Senate. Ms. B. spoke in favour of the resolution, and when he hid concluded, Mr. RANDOLPH rose to' give notice, - that, if the motion for indefinite postpone ment should not prevail, he would submit an amend Ment, which would obiiate most of the objections to it. —Mr. R. then proceeded, in his usual style, and spoke about everything and everybody, and declared, that if Mr. ADAMS was erected the next term, he would never again strew his face in the Senate Chamber. The mission to Panama, which has been so much discussed in Congress, has at length been agreed upon ; the question having been c 'tried in the affirmative, by a small majority, in the Hue of Repre.entatives, on the 20th ult. Trade is said Lobe very brisk at New York, and American freights were advancing. The Exchange Buildings were destroyed by fire on the night of the 28th. The loss is estimated at 200,000 dollars, only half of which was insured. We yesterday announced the fall of Blturtpore. Intel- ligence of this important event was received at the India House, by an overland dispatch from Bombay, dated the 4th February, which came by way of Constan tinople, whence it was transmitted by Mr. CA RT WRIGHT, British Consul General in that capital. Bhurtpore was carried by storm, by the army under the command of Lord COM BERM IRE, on the 18th of January. DOOIL7Uti SALL, the usurping Rajah, and his son, were taken prisoners, and the hole of that im portant fortress, with its troops, am nnition, and pro perty of every description, had falle into the hands of the British Commander. The citadel surrendered at discretion on the evening of the 18th. The military operations before Bhurtpore have occu pied a period of little more than five weeks. The army took up a position before it on the 10th of December, and all attempts to induce its surrender having failed, the trenches were opened on the 25th. The force pre pared for the attack was of a description calculated to leave no doubt respecting the res*lt. The troops con sisted of 25,000 men, the best of our Indian troops, under the command of the most experienced officers, and possessed, a battering train of more than 120 pieces of artillery. BULIUNT SINGII, son of the late Rajah, will be restored to his dominions as the rightful heir. ---.........-- German Papers to the 21st inst. reached us this fore noon. The only article of any importance they contain „ is some observations on the probable effect the modifi cation of our Corn Laws will have on the agriculture of the Continent. The low price of grain in Germany is not attributed to a real excess of stock, but to the distress of the growers, who are obliged to sell, in order to obtain ready money. The following is the article: - FRANKFORT, MAT 15. The result s to confirm the opinion that hu been already expressed,e naedificatiims of the English con laws would not have anble effect ea the prices of grain in the South east of Germany. Barley and oats are indeed rising, bet mere from an increased demand for home consunipton, than from the expectation of a greater demand from abroad. Rye still remains extremely low, - and the advance in wheat is not worth nsentionitig. It is aMrmed besides, In many pursers, that shotigb large quantities of wheat are •' really accumulated in the hands of some individuals, yet, en the • whole, the amount is by no means lately to prove too large for the supply of the home markets ; and that the depreciation of the prices of wheat dries not proceed from a real excess of the stock on hand so much as from the very great distress of the vowers,who are eager to sell in order to obtain the ready money, which they cannot do without. In the Dutch + Ports, however, wheat has already risen ten florins per last. Yet, as we now learn, the stock in their Ports is stated to be extremely large, so that even in case the bonded corn in England, which is now to be sold, should be speedily bought up, fresh supplies might be immediately sent from Holland. They also expected fresh importations from the Baltic, the arrival of which would be hastened by the news from England. We are not yet certain whether the House of Lords will adept the second part of the Minhters' proposal respecting the permission to allow the sale of 500,000 quarters more. Should this be decided, as it is hoped, some rise in the prices may take place in Holland, but it still remains doubtful whether they will ever rise so much as to prove advantageous to our part of the Continent,eonsidering the great expenses of carriage from Mayence, or other places on the Rhine. The French Papers ot Wednesday and Thursday Contain the report of a discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the budget, when a Member moved that a sum of 300,000 franc: should be voted for the purpose of redeeming some of the Christian women and children whom the Turks have dragged into slavery from Greece. The disturbances at Rouen are not suppressed; and it is reported that the National Guard, when called out, joined the populace. In one of the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies M. VILIALE took an opportunity of declaring that is in spite of all that has been said of imminent positions in Europe there was nothing of the kind; and that on the contrary, nothing could be more certain than the continuance of the French peace." A letter from Marseilles dated the 16th instant, states that a iessel from Alexandria had arrived at that port with lifty-one Turkish passengers, three ef whom were of such distinction, that when they descended into the long-boat; to he conveyed to the LAaretto, they were saluted with seven guns by their own vessel (La Trinite, a French ship). It was believed that they were in the service of the Pacha, one of them a Renegade, and that they were come to negordate a Commercial Convention or a Loan. Bogota PApers to the 19th of March, and letters from St. Thomas's to the 6th of April, have been re ceived. The latter state that a law has been passed, by which the ports of Colombia are to be opened for the importation of sugar, rum, &c. after the Ist of July next. Ter sonrctime past, rum has been smuggled in large qusrntities to the Main.-14 the election of the President and Vice-President of the Republic, which .took place on the 14th March, the Liberator, llomvAit, obtained 583 out of the 603 votes of persons composing the Electoral Assemblies.: he was unanimously declared President, and G. tteral SA NTANDER was elected Vice -Presi4ent. The C!4nrber of Representatives had determined to impeach General J. A. PAEZ before the Senate. 44 We understand," - says the Constitutional, "that it has been brought forward in consequence of some acts of an arbitrary nature which the General is alleged to have tommitted in the city of Caracas, in cArrying into eff.ct the decree for the enlistment of the Militia." Last night both Houses of Parliament assembled : in the House of Lords, both the Corn Bills were teed a third time and passe.,; one of the Bills was referred back to the house of Commons, whan:the altitratiost ' 'made by tbitrLordshitii Wit agreA to, and it Irra t' d' first and second timei Lord JOHN RussLLr. brought forward two resolutions to .prevent bribery and corruption at Elections. On putting the first resolution, the numbers for and against it were equal, there being 62 on each Ode, when the SPEAKER gave a casting 'late in favour of the reudu• ti ; the second resilution was passed without a diiision, The House of Commons adjourned to Vs'ednesday next. Last night, Mr. Wlmuor-Honrota stated in the House of Commons, in answer to a question from Mr. Tads. WILSON, that all the difficulties which had arisen in completing the arrangements with the Canada Com.l pany were at last obviated. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Within th's hour the Consol Market has become heavy, and Consols, which were at 12 o'clock at 791 for the Ac count, are at present 79j j, and for Money 79. But in the Foreign Market there has been a great panic in South American securities —Colombian and Mexican have fallen three per cent. and no per son could teU the cause. Various reports were in circulation, such as the Ilavannah fleet had sailed, with two thousand ;nen on board, to retake Vera Cruz; that the Colombian Dividend would not be paid. All this caused great conster nation amongst the South American Stock dealers, but it appears that the real cause for the decline in those securities, is owing to recent letters received this morning from Carthagena, stating that the LIM Cutter, belonging to the house of Gutmann had arrived there with dispatches, and the account of his death,which caused a very great consternation, and prevented their shipping on board the said cutter the dollars to pay the Colombian dividend in England. The answer given w as, that they must semi to Bo gota to receive orders how to act. Mexican 'errata are in town to the lath of March, but being no news. Consols are 79j Sellers, and Money 79j Buyers. THE ARMY. This morning the whole of the Second Life Guards marched from their Barracks io the Regent's Park to Wormwood Scrubs, where they bad a grand field day. _ _ _ This morning the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, now doing duty at the 1 ower, had a grand ield day, under the command of Colonel Lord SALTOUN, in the Tenter Ground, Goodman 's Fields, and went through all the new military manom vres much to the satisfaction of their Officers. During the time the Battalion was making a charge, a private in the rear, from the slip pery state of the grouted, fen, when his bayonet unfortunately pe netrated the fleshy part of the thigh of one of his comrades. The man is likely to do well, his wound being immediately dressed on going to the Tower. Monday the Depof of the Third Regiment (or Buffs), marched from Canterbury for Chatham. And on Tuesday the Depot of the 44th Regiment followed; together with 30 men belonging to the Depot of the 47th Regiment, making in the whole 400 men, whose melees are required at Chatham Garrison.

A Sermon has been preached in the English Episco oil Chapel at Boulogne.sur-Mer, when a collection of upwards of 1500 (rants (about 604. sterling) was raised for our distressed ma nufacturers. It is most gratifying to notice the liberal spirit that actuates this most respectable Continental Congregation upon every appeal of public or of local suffering. In the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, 'a discussion took place on Tuesday last, relative to Gretna-green marriages. The strongest disapprobation was expressed of the County Magistrates or Borough Justices, who allowed them to be attested in their presence, and a Committee was appointed to in- quire into the best means of preventing them. Should this Com mittee succeed, fewer post-chains and four will drive to the North with heiresses and boarding-school erls. ToursdAy, Mr. TYLWOTZ, the King's Messenger, ar rived at the Foreign Office, with dispatches from Lord Viscoont Gaairvitca, the British Ambassador at Paris, supposed to be the particulars relative to t►e negotiations between the Russian and the Sublime Porte.

The Brighton Geodes however denies that any such annunciation of the total abandonment of Brighton by the Kum has been given. The 1 imes of this morning contains the following extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, dated the 21st inst. Of its correctness we confess we entertain strong doubts : " You will be glad to hear that our gallant countryman, Lord Cocnastte, is at last proceeding to the deliverance of Greece. Oue of our boats has spoken a vessel from Flushing, having his Lordship on board: the inkrtuatiun received from one of the crew was, that they had landed him at Weymouth a week ago, and then proceeded ' to "forbay, where he re-embarked on the 20th, and immediately proceeded to sea."
