was Battle likely to be guilty of fraud as any man in England. He had fated him a most honourable man. He did loot think him capable of putting money into his r em improperly. Mr. HUSKISSON said, when he had the honour to bold office in the Woods and Forests, he was acquainted with the transaction respecting Mr. Edwards. and he should be glad if inquiry took place. Mr. Nash was employed as architect of the new street, and when he valued the land in Suffolk street. he sent in his re port t o the Woods and Forests. The terms on which it was to be let, and a plan, were exposed in the , public room at the office. After it had been open some t ime, an offer was made by Mr. Edwards. He did not know at the time that Edwards was conne cted with Nash ; but a Gentleman belonging In the office suggested that it was the duty of the Board to call for another estimate. Mr. Shaw, the emi nent Surveyor, was consequently employed to look at the land; and report whether it was well valued or not. Mr. Shaw made a report, in which he differed from Mr. Nash in one respect. and agreed in another. Where the value was increased they took Mr. Shaw's valuation, and where it was less than the valuation of Mr. Nash they 'took the value given by Nash. On those terms Mr. Edwards took the land. When Edwards parted with it Nash took it, and sold the property as any other person would. Property was not of the same value to all permins. The Right Hon. Gent. remembered that • when a large tract of barren land was sold (the Forest of Exmoor). the Commissioners of Woods and Forests had a tender of 10,0904 and one as high as .52,0001. — When the Hon. Member spoke of the land near the Reginfi,Csoal, he forgot that the Canal was made before tile Regent'S Park, and the ground was not so valuabletheit ai it was at the present day. if the Canal Company had'sold the land to Mr. Nash, and he had sold it again at an advanced price, it was a common ttausaction. The Duke of Portland and the Duke t t Bedtord might act upon the same principle in the sale sit their lands. He believed that no man was more free from malversation and fraud than Mr. Nash. He did nut believe that any consideration could lead him to lend himn It to ',mud. Sr: J. YORKE observed that he had always found .a disposition in that House during the last forty years to defend persons charged with offences. It appeased from the statement of the leaders of the Woods and Forests that Nash was a suspicious character. It was "clear he had taken plots of land with which he should .have had nothing to do. Mr.J.WOOD remarked that Mr. Nash in all his estimates had been egregiously wrong. Mr. Nash would doubtless defend himself, but the Hon. Member rose to complain of the vast sums of money expended on the repairs of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, at a time when so much distress pervades the country. Mr. JONES said Mr. Nash and the other individual desired nothing so much as inquiry into their con duct. His hope was that the Hun. Member for Cot• , center would nut stop, but move that the Attorney ,General do commence a prosecution. He could not admit that the I•ngisage of an Hon. Admiral, who had said Mr. Na►h was a suspicious character, was ptoper language to be used in that Holm. What could be more revolting to the feelings of a gentleman -than to be called a suspicious character? The •word. •ermalld go forth to the Public. and Mr. Nash would n -doubt Si named as a suspicious character. The lion. Member claimed in behalf of the two persons who had bees charged with malveision, the fullest inquiry. 'Mr. BAKING said, no Gentleman could be surprised e estimate for repairing Windsor Castle lind been - .:iocreasid. When that great historical snowmen' of toe 'icountry itas to be repaired and made a residence for the Sovereign, expense was unavoidable. It was found so rotten that it was telling down. The present was almost a new Castle. He did not look with jealousy at the -splendour isf the Crown with respect to palaces; the public were satisfied that the money was well laid out,and where' there was a great national monument the people would not be dissatisfied. With respect to the Architect of. Buckingham House, he felt that caution was necessary in making charges ; at the same time he did think that Mr. Nash, employed by the Sovereign and Government, should have had no connection with individuals pur. • -chasing lands of the Crown. He had heard that Mr. Nash was building for himself on the site at Carlton House. He was also said to be a brick. maker. All that was wrong. As to the estimate it was beyond every thing irregular. The sum of 34,0001. for sculpture upon the arch at Hyde Park-corner was a lavish expen. douse of the public money. Mr. BANKES said ever y part of Windsor Castle was so decayed that trpaius were out of the que Lion. It was iest , ited. With respect to Buckingham House the ease was different. In the origin .lestimate it was sho. n that it might be repaired at a small expense. It it had ever hien supposed that a million and a half of moor) would have been required to repair it, he oils sure Parliamest wculd - ni.ver have t: ought of making a Palace at Pimlico, allele the Stmeisign would be sm. - rounded by smoke and dirty houses. Much had hero said about the arch but 'vet y bcdy had complained of it as being • out s f its place. The sum of SlOOOl. was to be paid for the sculpture alone. The P ri ace might have bee.i made magnificent without the arch. In a climate like this, certa.nly an arch, with sculptor. so 'he amount of 34,000 W. was a useless waste of public money. The value of the architecture was decreased, . but the cOnsmiiiiiou of the architect was incieased.Woei. the estimate watt formed and the model made, he thought that no future compensation should be made to the architect. A degree of responsibility ought to be imposed upon such individuals; but in consequence of the division of labour, Mr. Nish was not' accountable -lair the faults which were atiributed to his designs. That tienleman had only to m'ke designs—the work was placed in different bands, and therefore that andividual was not accountable for them. Toe Chi , f Commissi• ner of Woods and Forests did all he could consistently with his situation ; and it blame were to be attached to any patty it was not to that individual.— lie objected to all prodigal expense, and of course to the item of 54,0001. For the arch to Buckingham Palace. He now pursued the course which he had uniforo ly pursued. tie wished the public money to be expended for the benefit of the public taste, and it was with no view to ap pos e public improvement that be objected to the proposed vote. Lead ALTHORP begged to ask if the vote of 496,0001. included the first estimate of something neat 256,000 1 ? The experience of the Hon. Member who last addressed the House might be able to suggest some remedy for a wasteful expenditure of the public money, and be ttusted that something would be dune to relieve ibe' public. Mr. HUME expected that all the expenses would lime been under the controul of some responsible leri. ma. The Treasury was to blame, and no other party. Mr. PROTHEKOE thought the estimate now pro- posed to be very enormous. Mr. Nash bad no con. troulquer the estimate, and therefore he was not to 'be blamed. He begged to ask it Hon. Members bad sees the Palace at Buckingham House ? He was sure they hal not. Every thing was unsatisfactory, nothing wai finished, and therefore he wisbell for further information. Mr. BANKIM said be would Wye that the vote of 34,0001. should be reduced Irma the proposed estimate. Mr. R. COLBORNE said be would not now discuss the general subject. He was quite sure, however, that some answer would be given to the questions so often put to his Majesty's Government, and he was sore that his Majesty would have as much pleasure in affording accommodation to his subjects as his subjects would have in requiring it. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, as far as the Government of which he formed a mem ber was considered, he had only one duty to discharge. The House, after various discussions, decided that Buck. inghani House should be converted into a Royal Pa lace ; and if the estimate then agreed to was imperfect, the House might be prepared for some additional expense. Whether the arch in front of the Palace was to be of stone or of marble did not form any consideration of this House; but no* that the one half of the arch was tom• posed of marble, it was necessary to complete it; and on its completion it would do justice to the state of the arts in this country. With respect to the taste of the itch he could form no opinion; but he could say that he had within a very recent period fully examined the building, as had the First Loid of the Treasury, and the progress of the building met with their ap probation. With respect to the Bird-cage Walk and the facilities to be afforded to the public, lie was prepared to bay that every proper accommodation would be af. fettled to the public as soon as it could be established. I The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing, that at sum not exceeding 1.50,0001. should be voted over and above the sum already voted for the Palace. Mr. BA EKES moved that the sum proposed should be reduced by £34 000. Mr. A RBUTHNOT defended Mr. Nash in the course which he had pursued, and supported the present motion. Mr. •. THOMSON said It would be satisfactory to the public if they knew that the sum now called for would complete the build ing of the King's Palace. exclusive of the furniture. It was the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to state definitively the real amount of the expense to be incurred—(Question, question). Lard MILTON wished to know when the Bird-cage Walk would be opened ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed be could not state the precise time, but there was a ionsikie intention of opening that carriage way—(Cries of" Question.") Mr. JOHN WOOD expressed a wish that this clause should contain a recital of the sums already expended on the Palace at Buckingham House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad no objection to the insertion of the recital—(Question, question). Mr. JONES did not think it fair to impute blame to the amid • teas, when un being called top= to discharge a particular duty they had acted in a proper meaner. Mr. S. WORTLEY said be bad no objection to vote any res s n.ble sum [or the accomauniation of the Sovereign. but he felt it his duty to agree to the reduction proposed by the Hon. Member (Mr. Bankes). Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when a division took place. For the Resolution ... ... 91 Against it ... .. ... Si op tlority ...

British Gas 50 29 17 Provincial Bank a Ireland • 100 25 22k The House of Lords last night maintained its right to issue the order calling upon the Corporation of Lon don to make a return of its receipts and expenditure. At the same time their Lordships permitted Counsel to' be heard for the City ; and he (Mr. limtarsort) con tended that the private funds of the Corporation had nothing to do with the subject under their Lordships' s tisitieration. Of the loads applicable t•i the purposes of the Bridge Bill, the City could produce an account in a •ery short time; but the amount of the facts were these—that the funds applicable to the bridge and its approaches, in the hands of the City, were exhausted. and that the City was exempt by law from conuibutuij any thing beyond the amount of that fund., With re gard to the rest of the City's fonds, they differed in no respect from the estates of private individuals. To this Lord MaLvicut said that the Learned Counsel at the Bar had made out no case to induce their Lordships to decline calling for the accounts in question. They had two courses open to them—the first was either to allow their original Older to stand; nr, secondly, to make a new Order expressive of their determination to have the accounts produced. His Grace the Duke of %Lummox thought that it would be tnost advisable l to leave the question to the Committee; and the debate was closed by Laid DURHAM, who said that, after what bad f .lien from the Noble Duke, it was not his intention to ,persevere at present; but he hoped no obstacle would be thrown in the way of the production of the papers as soon as possible. In the House of Commons, Mr. C. GRANT, though appearing to be labouring under severe indisposition, after some observations. moved— " That the duty on all sugars imported into this country from the Width Colonies in the West Indies be reduced to 20s. per cwt., dot time duty oil East India surar be reduced to 255. per cwt. and ea an Foreign sugars, not the produce of British Colonies, tons." Mr. GRANT argued that the :eduction of the duties on sugar would most certainly tend to an increased con sumption in the article; and that it was of importance, especially to the poor man, that he should procure those articles, which were almost necessaries to him, at the lowest possible rate. Tile motion was opposed by the CHANCILLOR of the EICH/QURR cus the ground of the House having already decided that the surplus revenue ought to be appropriated to the reduction of the Debt; and it was his duty to support the pledges of Parliament. He calculated that the increase of consumption in sugar would be no sensible relief to the glower. whilst the pro posed seduction of dui y would be a set ions diminution of the Revenue. Alter a lengthened debate, in the course of sshich the motion was supported by Mr. WHITAIORR, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. THANT, and. Mr. Mousses, the House divided. when these appealed fir the nuition,6o —against it, 98—lost by a majotity of N. Lord Lowman having moved that the House go into a Committee on the Land Revenue Bill, col. DATIRS embraced the opportunity of denouncing the extrava gant expenditure of the Treasury on Buckingham Palace; and brought a series if very rave charges against the Architect, Mr. NASH. It is certainly incumbent on Mr. Names, for the sake of his good name, to have these charges inve►tigated. The de bate on his proceedings occupied the time and atten tion of the House for nearly two b.iurs; and about two o'clock this morning the resolution was at length come to, that a sum not exceeding £150,000 should be voted over and above the sum already voted for the Palace. This was after an amendment by Mr. BANKIS, who moved that the sum proposed should be reduced by 04,000; but on a division, the original Resolution of the CHANCELLOR of -the EICHEQUIR was carried by a majority of 91 to 61. A great mass of information has been received from the Continent since yesterday afti moots; but the news from one quartet quite at vai lance with that brought from the other. Fur instance, we have o.e f flowing from Odessa, dated 4th of May : " A vessel which arrived here three days ago from Mangolia has spread a report. which greatly meds confirmation, that Sizeholi has been retaken by the Turks, after many repeated attacks. Amore'. from Gen. Roma, at Varna, are expected." On the other hand we are led to believe, that far from hostilities having been commenced, them is a prospect of tranquillity being resumed. An article from Constantinople. dated the '29th of April, •ays— a For the last fortnight reports have been isi circulation that pacific negudations are iti traits. It is now positively said that the Russian Councillot of State, Anton Von Futuna, is arrived at Sebumla, for the purpose of enterMg into immediate communica tion with the Grand Vizier. One thing is certain, that dispatches have been received from Sebum's, since the arrival of which the Reis Effendi has been constantly occupied. Several* Russian Of fleets have within the last few day* been set at liberty."
