Mr. Cullen himself, A COMMIS. StptEr, !sal stated in hie evidence, that no Court could be worse emittititted than that of Commissioners of Bankrupts: and the Corn !litter had expressed a bone tisat such tivf•rt. would he remedied by the proper authority, O n th e sebjrrt o r coun t r y commissions, time, in some places they might be toteenble well manaced, yet in many they were a gruse job, and th e cunveipiinners were selected by the solicitor. The Committee thought 'hat no additional power sholitl be given So country Cnnsmia.loners. On that snbject a regulation of the late Lord Chancellor Rosayln might be adopted with good effect. The feet was, that much abuse existed relative to country commissione. The Cointhittee had been employed on thia subject a very considerable time, during which, no Committee could hove labaitt'ed more strenuously. But the subject wee in itself a difiteult one,and in especial manner serronnded with legal difficultles e which could not have been stirmounted withont the aid of professional men. That had been the teason why no measurchad been sooner submitted to t`it !lonise. Tie undenitood flier, was a great disposition un the• part of Government to reform the Bankrupt Laws in The lion. Gentleman eons-hided, by moving for !ester to bring iu a BM to triter and amend the Bankrupt Laws. Sir J. New PORT said, that nntler the present systmi the Bankrupt Laws in Ireland were only a protection to fraud. Mr. Wit 0111SLIBT thought, both the Commissioner* of Bankrupts and the pnblic. were much indebted to the labour of the Committee of which the lion. Member was chairman. Could proper accommodation br obtained for the C..ommis. sioners, car half of the evil of the present system would be remove 1. Toe city of`London cave • preference to Guild hall, but miirh less time would be lost if ■ different place should he selected. The gentleman who had built the Cuts tam !loom Mr. Peto, had bought Purnival's Inu , from the So. z.ety of Lincoln's Inn, end bad made in offer to build pro• per accommodation for all the Coromissiougr., and the money to be paid by instahnents. Such an offer was worthy of con sideration. Mr. LOCKHART observed, that more Impartiality and MOM assiduity had newer been dispfiyed by any Committee, than that open the Bankrupt Laws. A distinction had been made between the honest and the fraudulent bankrupt, and the pu nishment would he proportioned to the guilt. Mr. Fort.air conceived that the system of the Bankrnpt Laws would he much improved from the proposed alterations. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. PEES OP COURT. Sir S. NewpoßT said, that a question had been carried some time back by a majority of only one respectable indi vidual. It was for a Return of the Fess paid into the Masters Office. Two Masters of Chancery were tben gppeinted, as Commissioners to inquire into the abuses that prevailed in their own office. He did not at that time, nor did he now consider them as the fittest persons to investigate the subject, and their Report snored that his suspicions were Mended in tenth. It was presented in June 1816, and a Supplement to this Report was since pi °dared, which proved that the Com missioners in their inquiry had entirely overlooked an Act of Parliament. It was the of Oeo. II and provided . that Solicitors who had no-Reeked in any other Court should, on their a d m is s i on Into the Coast of Chancery, pay a fee of only one shilling. The prettier, however, was to charge one pound or one pound seven shillings, and upon this Act the Commis. ateliers in their Reports and Supplement were totally silent. 'The Irish and Scotch Commissioners, very much to their cridit, and to the advantage of the public, had not acted in this manner. They bad detected some otts abuses, and bad accompanied their Reports with such recommendations of sinproverneut as would cause a saving to suitors of at least 63,0001. a year, besides considerable savings to the s.;onsolis dated Fund. The Scotch Commissioners had presented four Reports; those for Ireland had drawn up the same number, and had four more in a state of readiness. He knew no m oon why the English Cominissioaeris should receive Itool. year, while the Scotch and Irish ooiy received 8001. The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Fees of the Master's Office, held lucrative situations under the Crown, which gave them a partienlar interest in the subject they had to investigate. The expense of the English Commission, which produced only one Report, was 21,0001. while that of the Irish, which produced feur, was only 16,0001. and of the Scotch 10,0101.- Upoa these grounds be would propose the following Resolution, in conformity with the recommendation of the Finance Committee upon this subject :—" That the Honor agreed with their Committee in thinking that Com missioners who had official duties to perform, had a tendency contiiine such Commission to an unnecessary length; that It was the lousiness of tile Commissioners to avoid unnecessary delay, and to by before the [lonic from time to tune Reports of their proceeding, which could not he done with surfi.-iient promptitude, when they had offirial duties to perform.' Mr. BATHURST opposed the Motion. lie would not now go into the specific question whether such officers ea those allndell to were fit persons to act as Commissioners. It would Le easy, however, to prove that their superior knowledge counterbalauced any inconvenien-oe that might arise flaw otaer eIIISFS. The 'Cent Hon. Membet went at mane length into the areements used by Sir Jahn Newport, and contended tint thi• Reports, as well as the flambee of days employed "" Coinmissiotiers, were inure e length than those of Vie Isiah arid Scotch Commissioners. From the view which he took of the solrject, be felt it hie duty to &lobe the previous question.

HAMBURG!! MAIL. Ilitennentt, Mae 18.—We have received from Algiers the following interesting and emarkable accounts:— " A letter froinAlgiess, date.: March 6, says—Tile present Dey, /basin, is a good man : lie was one of the four minis ters and masters of the horse, as they here call bier, (Add -141 de Cavallo; ; and, on the death of the late iyiaat, was elected by the Divan ; whith has nut been the rims for these 3 years, as the six Paellas hetore Aly were murdered by the rebellious soldiery. This election, which tonk glare in the most peacetel and orderly manner, has been attended with no bloodshed, nor has any one bee■ banished. Ole the other hand, several inslisideels who were banished tinder Dinar Packs. as disturbers of the peace, are recalled, and have els taMed importaist offices. Time will sheaf whether these per sons will take warning from the lesson•they have already re cetved, or will set on foot a new conspiracy. The Ist of March this year, the day of Aly Pacha's death, will be ever memorable in she annals of Algiers that tyrant had still many ominous projects and cruelties in contemplation, which were shortly to be carried into effect. Thus. there was found in his pocket-book the following memorandum, written by him self—' The daughter of the English C 60401, a very pretty and sensible girl, 16 years of age ; and the sister of the Ditch Consul, who is handsome and accomplished, shall be conveyed by force out of their Ramses, and compe:led to change their religion, and to be the Dry's mistresses. The danghter ot the Spanish Consill,who is not an bandsonar, shah he watched and kept in reserve. The English Conseil, the .Isanisti Conseil, and a Jew named Beasamon, who is ender EnelrAh protection, who had been already compelled to-assume the turban, shall be beheaded.' " The day for the execution of this horrid plan was not ye axed. The Dey seemed to waver in his mind, and dirpoecd to wait till he ease whether the Consuls tallish, submit tu'have their houses (which, according to the treatiea. are to be eon gidered as harems,) broken into and plundered, or whether they would make any resistance; in this last ease, they were to be cut to pieces. He saw clearly, that such cruelties would not pass without notice, and said often' The Christians will probably come and bom bard me a little, but I shaft find means tv make my peace.' Ali was not destitute of ta lents, lint he KU sumo times like one raving, or like a famish ed tiger or hyena I at an earlier period of his life he had been confined in a mad house iu the city. If he had continued to live, there is evety appearance that all the Foreign Con suls and the few other Europeans resident here would hare hem pat to death."

There is at present a conspicuous instance of reformation of manners, among the labonring classes of men and industri ous mechanics ; for we are enabled' !o trace it in the increase of Saving Banks, gist recommended by Dr. Jos. Adams, and afterwards adopted by the late air. Hose., It is very rarely that any applicatien was made by those who belonged to Benefit Clubs for parochial relief, and still more rarely by those who have acquired the habit of saving their weew,y earnings, so as to spare some small part of it fur the future benefit of themselves and children. It is a well founded oh.r nervation, that parochial aiplications are commonly made by those who have never exeicised themselves in the habit of saying their money, or looking forward to the probability of A cloudy day; those who seek only fur present enjoy meat with seldom be found thoughtful of any provision fur reverse of fortuue, ,each more in that to which we allude, - - . Many of the lower description of the people are now mak ing great savings ' and some ut them who began when eithrr Benefit Clubs or Saving Banks were first institiate4, are now feeling the satisfaction of their little fund ; nuny a sixpence which used to be idly spent, is now retained fur this purpose, and this their moral life beeumer less disputable f and their behaviour is in general better, because they eel the benefit of having a stake in society which tl.ey never before con sidei eif ; and they experience the satisfaction nowothich they seldom enjoyed before, of a more generous notice and ci consagement front their superiors. Those tom earn free.. 30 to 40s. a week, find, themselves possessed of a fuud worth depending upon and preserving, and ore sell excited to an addi!iouai exertion of itgitushy and care, M peeberve and increase it. As soon as there Banks income general through tlyt country, recompviert by Christian education fur the childi en, there call be little doubt of a change in this fart of Oar national r..:4l.icier.
