He advered to a letter from Mr. Malthus to Lord Grenville, tour Feats ago, complaining of abases ;0. ! the College; and defended ft. Jackson from rl'e charge of inionsisrency, by the Ex Diryctor, Mr.l Grant. He lamented that the Paper, so requisite . for enquiry hren refuse-1, and insisted that the, misrepresentations complained of had not originated , with himsylt or his friend, whose object was ta in.

He c , mplained a disposition ti detr Act from the merits of the Mar t:Ms if Wellesley's original plan ; a plan which no : unprej•diced pets= could speak of withont rap unions prrob,,t;nn ;he also deprecated the hordin-. e language used to the Directors by Mr. Professor Malthus, who was paid by the Comp.iny, and ought to have conducted himself with more de corum to his employers. Mr. Sterling was the only student who had left the College with advantages above mediocrity, notwithstanding all the high sound ing praises on the Institution. Eren !Jr. Edino.s qone had guarded all his euloginms with a" p:rhap.." The opinions of the Learned Advocate, Mr. R. Graot, were evidently biassed from intimacy with the Prolessors. Nothing superior to the other estth: rents of this country had been proved. He then dwelt or. the advantages arising from the competi tion to be found in pi;blic Schools, and concluded with expressing his warm approbation of the motion. Mr. Insomnia, observed, that the College now appeared to be attacked for no other purpose than to support the Honourable Gentleman who had brought forward the Motion. It was said that inquiry was all that was wanted; but be would say that this inquiry was nothing but accusation. Mr. Lowunes contended, that a series of facts had been brought forward, which it was impossible to controvert. A desultory debate ensued. in which the principal' speakers were the Chairman (Mr. Ram). Mr. Dixon, the Honourable D. Kinnaird. Messrs. Inver. Hume, Lowndes. Weeding. Grant, and K. Dickson. Mr. Dtzox, at five o'clock. moved an adjournment+ for the purpose of giving Mr. Grint an opportunity of explaining. and Mr. R.

RIDLIT moved last night, in the Com ments, that an Address should be presented to his Royal. Highness the PIUNCt Resent, praying that the nuMbeed Lords of the Admiralty should be're-; diced. Hi contended that four were quite sufficienr fur the-public business, and consequently that the re osainiug two should be considered in the light of sinecures. Lord CASTLISREAGIN ORpOloed the motion. He was not prepared to grant that the Lords Commis. sinners were too many ; bat his principal argument rested on the efficiency of the Finance Committee, which had come to a determination to recommend tie abolition of all glamors plocer err elm prereot interest halm/Aired ; and that no offices be filled in future ex cept by those who discharge the duties. This source of impatience on the part of the public, Ministers were determined to remove, since they had betome so very obnoxious, and other means must be provi ded to enable his Navarre to remunerate those who deserve well of the state. From the numbers on the division it seems not unlikely, that but for this pledge, Ministers would have been left in a minor ity, for notwithstanding the number -of Placemen who have seats, the majority was only 56 ; but we con- , tend That this very circumstance places the character both of the Ministers and of the private Members in a very different point of view from what some men have asserted, ge that in the House of Commons. as now elee.ted, there can be neither integrity nor patriotism."
