His object MEN in cue oe the death of as officer upon his return to India. at she gape of Good Hope, or within the dominions of the East lodii Company, to enable his relations to receive the allowances Snick might have accrued during his absence. l'he Right floe. feentfebean then moved for leave to bring in the Bill. Mr. Bret E was willing to, go even farther than the Right lementrable Gentleman, for he thought it would be well in sus. wild the Act in question altogether. He was of opinion that no speech ever did any man greater credit than did that of Lord Greoville, to his head and to his heart, when in another place he opposed the establishment of that college. lie had no doubt but treoe who had proposed and advocated its establishment were ac. tutted by the best motives hut it appeared that so far from M. stilling lofty notions of honour and exalted feelings of virtue, there was •not a coltege in the kingdom where •• ruetications" were so frequent—net one whence so many were sent away in derivate toe habitual misconduct. For his own part he deplored the situ.. ,town in which the East Indies was placed, renamed. as it was .as far so regarded the administration of Justin, by persona who had not the slightest knowledge of the worlie lie would not say that they were kept apart front the world, far the neigh ; bourbood of the College could testify to the contrary of that, but the rules are, that they should be kept secluded ; so that, according so these regulations, they were to be sent nut to India as heads of Courts, as Judges o f districts as large as all Yorkshire, often at 23 stem of age (24 years was quite common), to administer English Jaws, and to inculcate English feelings, while ignorant elite of both. He cordially agreed in the motion, but he hoped the Right .lion. Gentleman would select a proper means of examination, and submit all to the urns test, whether educated at the College or otherwise. In fact there ought to be an examination as to timers toe every public servant that went out to India. Before he sat dewn he wished to state, that during the two last years the College lied been better conducted than heretofore, but its exist. encenught not to be continued at all. He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not suppose that it was necessary to support it 'forret, because it had been built, but that he would look at it as so ranch bores and mortar, and then form his judgment of the neces. soy of continuing it by its utility only. Captain BRADSHAW made *few observations in defence of J the emissions system. When in India, be had gasmen to complain of ihomusium of a young man who was very deficient in the know. ledge of the Oriental languages, and who had evinced a repugnance su apply himself to their study. On his representing to him that :the Gi'munander.in•Chief would not allow him to assume a corn. AIWA 01 a company until he had acquired a competent knowledge of the native language. the young man immediately turniehed himself with a Moonehee, (a native instructor) and became in • short time perfect reamer of the language. (Hear s hear.) Sir THOMAS BARING hoped the measure of the Right Ho nourable (L ntleman could be made a permanent one. He thought in that tire Dot India Company could require was, that the young men destined for their service in India should have pleviously re. cowed a liberal education. With regard to the Eastern languages, he thought a knowledge of them might be acquired as well in tee period of six months in India as in the course of two yaw in this country. Mr. C. GRANT dissented from the Honourable Baronet, in the minion, that the measure proposed by his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. C. W. Wynn) would be a permanent tine, and hoped teat his Right Honourable Friend would persevere in making it only temporary. He would not at this moment enter into any discussion ex to the existing system For qualifying young men to enter into the service in India: it was enough for hint et present to declare it , to be his humble opinion. at leant, that the foundation of this col lege furnished an exception to the e usual remarks made with regard to the education of :ten destined to serve in that empire, and which Dr. A. Smith had said was applicable to the education of all those persons who might one day become Sovereigns of :he East. That mil lion writer had ob s erved that such persons were apt to forget theirduty es etiverriens in their anxiety to repot their interests as merchates. Peotwithetanding the united force of all those conflicting interests by which the college had been opposed, lie would defy any man to prove that there had been more irregularity, or more evils, either in number or degree, existing in it teen were to be found connected with any other institution of a public moire. He would venture to state this broad feet as being incontrovertible, that during the last twenty year. then had been a marked improvement in the eha 'eeter, in the monduet, and in the qualifications of public servants in British India. Wear, hear.) If he had anticipated any discussion on the subject to-night, nothing would have been easier titan for him to have brought extracts from the written and deliberate opi_ talons rd various men eminently competent et form a correct judge ment on the subject. He might have brought the testimony of Lord 31into, expressed in 1810, in favour of the existing establish. rent. Mr. Roberta had also expressed himself in terms of appro bation of the system, and finally Lord !lasting... ie one or two re. nearkable dispatches made by ben in the years 1817 and Bete had also borne testimony to the great benefits resulting from the estate. tishment of the East Indian t eillege at Hertford. Lied ilastineo, indeed, traced the improvement which was observable among the' it or to the infleence of the education acquired at ; that College. He (NIT. C. Grant) required nothing more, there fore, as • defeece of that establishment than these testimonials from men who. it moo be obvious. had no peculiar disposition to support the College. Whenever this subject should come to be fully di.. cupped, he thought he should be quite prepared to prove that at the period when this College was founded there existed an absolute necessity, according to the opinion of the wisest men In India and of this country, for some such instkutien to be formed. He should next be able to prove most satisfactorily that this institution was peculiarly planned to meet that necessity : he should likewise as completely show that no evils attendri this Lonitution in any degree beyond those usual to institutions of a bi ndle, public dee:rip:ion ; and finally, he should be able to prove that the result of this establishment, according to the concurrent opinion of the ablest men, both in India and England, had been, that by its means there had been formed such a mass of public men, both in respect to number and acquirements. as could not be /twitched in any former period of our history. With regard to the obeervatien of the Honourable Baronet (Sir T. Bating) that the proposed measure ought to be permanent. and that the parents of the young lien intended for the service in India could give their sone a competen( education independently of the College, there ersosomething plausible in this argument; hut he begged to ob. othe that the qualifications of which the Honourable Baronet Spoke could be at the best no more than as to literature, and could net at all refer either to the morals, the character, or the conduct of the young men. Ile knew much had been raid about the testimo niak that would be given, but he wit not prepared to trust to them. Bert then it was pmpreted in the next place to establish a test by examination. to which every person destined to go out to India shotald be obliged to retie; but the test proposed was in his opinion imperfect• and not calculated to attain the object desired. Some. thing had been said as to exciting a competition among the young Men. But the stations in India were not open fur any such com petition. That argument was therefore founded on a fallacy. If ennieetition were to exist. he would then ask what was proposed to be done with the patronage of the East India Company as to their power of appointment to the vreiterships ? It was very true, if these writerships were opened and made objects of competition, then indeed Honourable Members might apply the word competition to some purpose. But was that the congas eresent ? On the contrary it was well known that these ap podutmente were given by the Coen of !erectors at their own will; every appointment was treated, not as a prize for which Mordents were to toluene, but as • species of vested property ; and It hail been considered improper to disturb such an appointment, atter it had once been made, even to an infant. So long as this system existed. and the object was not to hold these appointments as prime but as gifts, without reference to qualification or me-it, so long it was in vain to speak of competition. In truth, the agiut. Lion of this question did open the whole subject of patronage; or be would say that still higher question, namely, which was the hest mode of qualifying our India servants for the performance of . those arduous duties• they were galled upon to discharge? If tt were tee filet duty of the State to communicate to England wise and wholsevetne regulations, he conceived, that although last in point •of film...yet it was equal in importance. that the institutions regarding the qualification' of servants for India should he such ors wezoileabest adarittoteaggE eg i t ii teArpose desired.

The fat was unquestionable, that there existed at prereat a greater de mand ter wasters than the College could "Got, and that it was ab. whitely essential that ninety more preens sneuld be sent out to India than the College could supply.

The CIIANCI3LI.OR of lite hXCIi fr.Ql.:l4lt mita that, after the ample discussions whieb the subject or the email notes circula tion had reeerttly undergone, and after the manner in which the subject had been treated in that Howse. and the uniformity of oni nion exprmied es to the principle of making the currency of the country more perfectly metallic then it was at din present nsiment. He should rot think it necessary to trouble the House at any length on the present occasion. He confessed that the more he comliercd the measure that had Wen stlopkd by the Howe with respect to the paper currency at England, the more lie test himself peesuaded that there was no oubsiantial ground upon which it could be maintained that the other parts of the United Kingdom tight, with regard to their circulation, to be on a dill:item touting. (near, hewn) • He at:mit:et' that there might be, both with r,speet to Ireland and Scotland !particularly the latter coblitry). citcum. *mixes which the Halite Weld to take into consileutten before I they proceeded to any legislative set regarding the circulation of 'hoes countries. He wag aware diet emu' matter', of this kind deer: was a feeling of alarm excited as to the manner in which the sup. posed interests or rights of persons would be effected. Knowing that such feelings were so strorgly entertained, and had been so de cidedly expressed en these measures, he certainly was anxious to avoid any precipitate step, and thought it would be the best and only just course. if every fair sod reasonable opportunity were given to those, who thought that by such measures their interests would be seriously greeted, of proving that the effect would be ex they predicted ; err else to give to those who, on the other band., agreed I In the adoption of the measures, an opportunity of satisfying the complainants that there was nu grourd fur their complaints. Ile thought this was • course which would be the se-t, the most pm. dent, and the most rittinhal mode of setting the question fairly •t test. It COM illy (lid so happen upon a former Committee, that had sit on the subject of the currency in 1819. although it went fully Into the question of the circulation, yet thie particular point as to the small rotes currency was not so rieecially adverted to u respected Scotland ; therefore it might be fairly said that that bunch of the rithject had not undergone a due Mee...rig:mina. He should certainly say.that with regard to himself and those Hon. Friends who acted with him, it was not quite fair to charge tbrm, either ax respected Ireland or Scotland, with acting upon this ques tion improperly; or to say that there was no former instance in which the currency of those countries had bean interfered with by Parliament. For with respect to Srothotd, it certainly did ap par to have been overlooked that the very first measure taken in Parliament on the subject of the paper currency was taken with respect to the circulation of notes in Scotland. In the year 1784, a considerable portion of the circulation of that country con sisted of notes under the value of 20%. Parlianteut In that year restrained the issue of them, upon the ground that such a cur rency was incompatible with those classes of the community whittle cireamstenees peculiarly subjected them to be affected by such a species of circulation. It therefore did not appear to hint that an extension of the same principle to paper money of a higher denomination, could betcalled nn unfair interference with the currency of Scotland, provided that it was made out, brat, that the general interest of the United Kingdom required , he measure to be adopted; anti, secondly, that by adoptirg it, they were not doing • reel and substantial prejodrce to either part of the kingdom. With regard to Ireland, there did Not /wear to have been so strong • feeling tented oe the subject; initeeo. the conduct of Ireland had been different from boils that of England and of Scotland re. tweeting the note:ley, as much so, that the Parliament of that country in 1799 thought it proper to suspend the issue of small notes; and that,as the House would see juet after the suspension of cash payment, ! (Laughter.) This act of tie I, WI Perlisenent continued in force till the year 1801, when the Imperial Perlis. meet assimilated the law of both countries upon the subject of the currency. However, as there seemed to be a very general Wires. 'ion that it was derireable that this subject should be in. eeetigated and mast fully examieed into, he should abstain front making an• fttriher rentarke on the present occasion. In hit opinion the House would best come to a final conclusion and due remit by cautiously abstaining from entering upon any discussion calculated to excite angry feelings. On such • subject the absence of such feelings was most desirable. lie should there fore simply trove, that a select Committee be appointed to inquire into the state of the circulation in small notes under the matte of Se in Scotland and Ireland, and to report their opinion to the Hour, with reference to the expediency of an alteration of the las as it at present exists. Mr. H. GURNEY feared that the Committee which was moved for would only hate the effect of exciting alarm and fermentation. The Right Honourable Gentleman had better have forborne all interference with the Scotch smitten, at least until lie saw the effect which the alteration would produce in England. It was perfectly clear that Scotland bad gone on for more titan a century increasing in prosperity under the present system. It Was also known that the distress in Ireland had been greatly aggravated by the want of circulation. It was better, he thought, to confine ourselves to the measures proposed for England before we tried the experiment on Ire'ard and Scotland. His advice was to leave Scotland as it is, end give Ireland the chance of advancing under freer circulation. Up to 1711, Scotland had a paper circulation, and England a gold circulation. This disparity produced no inconvenience. Of late year, thee was a metallic circulation within the bills of mortality. It was confined to London and the adjoining counties, and did not emend to any other patts of the country. Yet this difference of circulation had not proved inconvenient. It therefore did not appear that because a gold circulation was introduced Into England. it was at all necessary to extend the measure to Scotland. At all events it should first be seen how the measure affected England. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS believed that the petitions presented to the House on this subject from Scotland, had come from the un divided mass of the population of that countr)•. It was not matter of surprise that such unanimity should prevail, when it was recol lected that the present system of banking existed in Scotland fist more than one hundred years, and that in that time it had produced no inconvenience like the panic which was recently felt in this country in consequence of the failure of the banks. The people of Scotland thought that they received every accommodation from the mode in which embanks of that country were at present constituted. From 1104 to the present time, I!. notes were issued in Scotland, and no inconvenience had ever arisen from such circulation. In considering the objections to the continuance or thepresent system, this fleet should not be overlooked, and It ought ' to be recollected that the bunking business was not carried on in Scotland under an un. safe system. Holding these opinions, he yet concurred In the ap. pointment of a committee. lie thought the subject ought to be in vestigated, but there was one point which could nut be too strongly impressed. and that was, that the persons who goverhed the circula tinn should be careful of the mode in which it was directed. (Hear.) 'f he welfare of Scotland was materially concerned in the investiga. tion, and he thor,ght nothing should he introduced into it winch could, even by implication, throw discredit upon the present ins& tutious. It was a delicate subject, and such an implication ought by all means to lie monied. The labour* of the Committee ought to be confined to the present system of banking, and the amount of the issues at different periods. If it was decided that it would be disadvantageous to Scotland to continue the present system, he feared that considerable inconvenience nu igh t arise from the operation or the new emus which must be substituted. Capt. GORDON thought no good would result from the ap pointment of a Committee. The Scots system was at present placed on a sound and substantial footing. The country had gone on well under the present system. The itdiabitents were unanimous in desiring its continuance, and he felt it would be a string mea sure to force another eircolation upon that country. Mr. W. Dt]NDAS was 'surprised to hear that tiny of his coml. trymen objected to the appointment of a Committee. Ile thought they were bound to thank Government for such a proposition. The Right Honourable Gent. (t:te Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not throw any doubt upon the banking establishments ; he only asked for ioquiry, and feeling the strength of his cause (hear, hear,) he (Mr. Dundas) courted irquiry. It was only those who dreaded the real Illatits of the case that would scald inquiry. the object of which was to investigate the allegations of the petitions which were laid before the House. Mr. DRU3I3IOIsD said it was impossible not to concur in the propriety of inquiry, as it was admitted that there was no para. mount necessity for a change. lie concurred with his lion. Friend (Mr. Dundas) that no possible ham, and great good, would result from such an inquiry. The House hail very properly shown an indisposition to enter at present into the details of the measure ; he should not, therefore, at this period obtrude his opinions, but upon the part o f Scotch 31embers he disclaimed all feelings of ra. louty of English interference (hear). lie was more disported to speak of the advantages than of the grievances of Scotland. A long catalogue of blessings were derived front its connection with Eng. Ishii, and he was sure no Scotebman could lo3k bock without mingled feelings of respect anti gratitude, when they considered the generosity and attention of the English Government towards Scotland. Mr. LAUR[CE FITZGERALD said there were certainly considerable differences between Scotland and England, as respects their paper circulation. Though an Irishman, he could not concur In the rebellion in Scotland (a laugh)—lie meant the rebellion of paper against gold. There was no butt: violent opposition to the proposed measure in Ireland as had manifested itself in Scotland, possibly bcc.tute the blundering diepotition of his countrymen pre. neweriviseart firm etsbalisag at des proper Hum -Although he was not faro treble to the extension of the new measure in Ireland, be thought his countrymen had Jone wisely to keep their case separate from that of Scotland. The case of Ireland was singular. The circulation there was not excessive; on the contrary, it was defi cient. There were omit: recent failures there, tat there were only nine bank, at present exist ieg throughout the whole country. The affairs et those banks were conducted with prudence and dlsere lion, end he thought lie might rentue, to assert, that the paper cir. culation of Ireland was now on ti solid found:thin. Though he states! this, lie was no friend to a paper circulation. Ile did not agree with the Scotch philosepliers, some of whom he chanced to sit near. (:riughter.) As a beet he abh treed those philosophers (continued laughter), but he was anxious to apply the principles of science as fur as they could be reduced to and united with practice. He (Mr. Fittgerald) on • former ocaten, when he was in efilce, bad opposed the issue of small boles. He had then stated that Tteland was a country above all otkers likely to sutrer from the il lusive confidence which such a system of banking would create. He bad also stated an instance where an apothecary and a Captain of Dragoons bad set up a banking establiahment, with no other ca pital Guilt the sums raised by selling off the stock of the apothe cary's Film: and disposing of the Captain', troop. Vet in two years afterwards this firm had fa1,..1 for 4:13,0111X. lie had stated .hilelect, but no one coricurre..! lo his opposition to issuing small notes. He was an enemy to the issue of wall notes from his schoolboy data, but he feared the propsed alteration would de range the et:miriade] transactions throughcut the country. He thought the Parliament would he greatly deceived if they deemed legislative enactments would 611 up the vacancy caused by the withdrawal uf the small note circulation. So :h a change he apprehended would embarrass the transactions of the country, pro perty of all kiwis would suffer seriously from it, and a great ca lamity would necessarily ensue, which Ireland was vary ill pre pared for. Sir CHARLES FORBES said that out of respect for the pre relent feeling on the subject, lie should vole for the Select Com mittee. In 'Hussain., however, he owned that he felt he was se aiticing his individual feelings, fin lie thought the measure was brought forward unnecessarily. It war beneath the dignity of that House to notice anonymous p i ehlicaticras, and a still greater dere liction of the itelf-respect which they ought to feel, to proceed to any legislative enactments on the Incubrations of Malachi Male. growther. (A laugh.) He had noticed the anlmadvereione of newspapers on the proJuetions of that personage, but he protested, upon his honour, that his curiosity had rever been so far excited as to induce him to read them through. He was, therefore, not well welshed that filalsgfowthet's•words sh.tuld be the ground work of soy ictit.illtiVe ptosisious. It was it.deed a beurce uf THE BRITISH 'PRESS. pleasure to him, and he felt proud when, on a former occasion, he heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer avow, that he had Scotch blood running in hie veins,' but there was nothing else lia the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman from which he derived plea sure. 11 was indeed a repetition or his tortner speeches, sod intro duced no novelty to attract attention or admiration. lie had no interest it: the present querion more titan as it affected public in. terms. It might be said that he was a governor of one of the Branch Ranks. but its that ettsbli..hrnent he possessed only a single share. and that he got by chance. (A laugh.) lie thought it right to disavow any tendency to rebellions or seditious measures on the part of the Scotch bankers of people, in respect to the currency or any other quistion. As there were Scotch Members in the House averse to the project conteniplau tl in the appointment of the Select Cotionittee, he trosted that they woul.l deliver their sentiments on the question to which they felt repugnant. lilt. Alderman ‘1001) was Purprised, when so much perfection was attributed to the syst ni of Scotch b.uticing, that it /should he deemed requ isi te to institute the proposed inquiry. lie coaled not think such at: investigation - teonsietent with do assertion of the polity and perfection ascribed; but if it were neceseary in that case, it vented to him to have been a measure much more India. peniable in reference to the operations of the• banking system in England. Or the two inerances, the one selected was certainly that which did not appear to him to require the Inquiry. It was strange to pass the /shall note measure its filnglend without any in. vestigetion been a Select Committee, and to deem it politic and prudent to form one for the purpose of transferring Ate measure to Scotland, in which country its operation was considered by some persons as likely to be injurious. and by others aa dubious and pre- carious.

Forbes) would change the determination with which his speech commenced, and no nf arm hi s . practice to the principles by which he molested . us be ltvivately in. flueneed in the subsequent (+seers:lone, or if any of the Scotch. Members were willing to concur in those principles, he (Mr. All. Wood) intended to call fur a division, and to take the sense of the !loose on the question, Mr. T. WILSON could not agree with tito lion. R4IOIIIII (Sir C. Fortis.) in the mode which he adopted, of giving a vote at va riance with the principled by which It proteesed to be actuated in Itie private ClifliCity. thought that a yew deal of injury h a ir been Inflicted,on hngl d hy the wanner. Li whico the alum or, country banks had been treafsd, and he could not conjecture what propriety there was in subjecting Scotland to throe:sent process. The measures which had been adopted lit England had verified the old adage, of '• Give a dog a 1)3(1 naine," and it wan now propseed to try an experiment in Scotland. which promised to be productive of similar results. Before the evil should be extended to that country. it seemed to him more solvieatile to rectify the mis. chiefs which had already twin incurred by the application of the system In England. Before they travelled to ticoiland with the prescription the House would find that there Was quite enough of work on their hands to replace the currency of England, which had been so injuriously tampered with Lt the pm:cooing% reLuive to the county, banks. He thought, from whatever information he could collect on the subject, that it would he beetr to let Scotland pursue the course to which it heel been accustomed, and which was alleged to be productive of no injury to the commu nity of that enitntry. General HART thought litat the measure proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman was desirable. and he should ace.wdingly vote for the appointment of the SehlektCommittee. The motion was then put, and passed in the affirmative; and a Select Committee was appointed, .consisting of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. 31r. Hume., Sir O. Hill. Sir C. Fithes, Lord Al. !beret, Sir M. Ridley, Mr. P. Grecfell, Mr. Brougham, Lord Palmerston, Capt. Gordon, and some other Members. ‘VEST3II3TER ABBEY. . Mr. HUME said that it Was his Intention, according to the notice which he had given, to submit a motion for Information with respect to the charges of admission and expenditure of money at Westminster Abbey. The conduct of the Dean- and Chapter of Westminster Abbey had frequently been the subject of observation in that House, with respect to the high fees that were charged for admission to view the monuments in Westminster Abbey. He understood that some reduction had taken place in the rate of charges to persons who wished to gratify curiosity by inspecting the interior of the Abbey ; and he should not have sub. 'tinted the motion which he then designed to propote, if he had not been intbrrned that there still existed a charge of frees for showing the monuments. The Dean and Chapter were possessed off:0,00U a year, and he thought chat their poverty could not be pleaded as an excuse fin the imposition of any free on the public. Meritorious individuals were in the habit of geuine monuments in ‘Vestminstor Abbey ; and the very principle which induced the nation to record their merits, by the clop. titan of a piece where the public might be le to witness the records of their deserts, would be utterly defeated, if the people were to be obliged to pay individually for what they had hi the first instance defrayed the expense of out of the national purse. Large aunts of money had been paid for the erection of those monuments, to manifest the national feeling with respect to the individual en tombed, and the pretext of want of funds could not, therefore, be alleged in justification of the practice of requiring fees. By !mine I documents which were put ipto his hands last year, he learned that the Minor Canons receireil the money which was paid for admis. 'ion, and that the funds of the establishment, which should go go to them, were devoted to ether purposes. The charge of fees for admission was also otsjectiaeable on account of its beteg an in , DOVADAD. fat he understood that fifty years ago there was no fee demanded, or only two ee three pence, as now at St. Paul's Cathe dral, for the purpose of preventing the Intrusion of improper Persons. It behoved that House to ascertain the right of the Dean and Chapter to impose the tees, anti whether or not they were nut obliged to keep in repair, and to show to the public those monuments, for the erection of which they received such ample compensation. if is turned out that they were not able to proceed without the fees, then thereshould hematite equiva lent. But at present he thought the charges were so disgraceful, that the Dean and Chapter, who, as a body, agreed in the propriety of their imposition, would individually disclaim the principle of taxing the public in that manner. If, as was alleged by some per sons, there did tot exist in his Majesty, or in that House, a power of control, he should protest against the erection of any public monuments in a place where the payment of fees was to be geese. vered in. lie should at present move for an account of the sums of money which hat been charged for admission into Westminster Abbey during the last five years ; of the money expended in that time, and how appropriated. Mr. Secretary PEEL did not mean to oppose the motion ; for though some captious objections might be taken to the detail, yet the principle seemed to be fair. lie wished to correct some inac curacies into which the Hon. Member had fallen. That lion. Gentleman scented to be of opinian that the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey were constituted differently from persons of a similar institution in other plaices, and that they were bound to ad mit the public to see the monuments but that is a great mistake. The lion. Member was also incorrect in stating that the charge was one of recent invention. and did not exist fal years ago. The re. cords, however, proved that it prevailed in the earliest periods. and that there was a keeper regularly appointed, with those perqui. I sites attaching to his office. It would be sufficient, however, to mention that, in the year 1613, a patent was issued to Sir Edward ' Pitt and Sir Robert Boller, Kota. together with. five other persons, investing them with the appointment. At present the fees were granted to Minor Canons and to the support of the Choir, so carat their salary amounted annually to 1121., of which 701. was de rived through the channel of tees. Yet it was due to the Dean and Chapter to state, that though they could not be compelled as mut_ ter of right, yet, out of deference to the House and to public opinion, they had reduced fees to the lowest point consistent with the preservation of the monumeme from the injuries to which they would be obnoxious from promiscuous and unrestricted admission. The Abbey wtsr now open three times a day to the public, except to artists, and the fees were reduced from 24. to la. 3d. The lion. Gentleman was also in error when he supposed that no money had been expended in repairs. In the last twenty-tive years the sum of 113,67:11. had been devoted to that purpose, which was an average of inure than 21001. per ntanuni. In the last twelve years 40.11001. had been expended, which gave an average exceeding 35001. per annum. From that statement it would be difficult to infer that re. pairs had been neglected. The Dean and Chapter had acted un a oupportitioteulat she repairs which hail been matte, required that that they should not be liable to the damage which must accrue from iteratrafned lieencrettainneree. .The nun to las paid was not however arbitrary, for a definite rata was fixed, which was three penie on the first admisaion and one shilling for the remain der. Though lie was desirous to correct the innecuracies to which lie adverted, it. was not his intention to object to the motion. 1101SHOUSE „said that there was a ditiirrence between the mode of collecting the fees at Vi istintneter Abbey, now, and that which prevailed twenty years raga, when he was at school to tile vicinity. The money won then not collected at the door as now, but at the grate. and the most interesting put of the Abbey (Poet's Corner), in which were the monumentsof the illustrinue dead, was open to the inspection of strangers, but now that public were de. barred from access to those receptacles of the great and the good ' without payment of a stipulated sum. He agreed, howe ver , with the Right Honourable Secretary fur the Home Depart. mutt, that some cause existed to countenance the charge, for during the last seven or eight years numerous establis hments had been introduced, and great expenses had been lectured in cleaning and' repairing the• monuments. The transept had ato been thrown down. It Might be necessary at present to keep pawns from defacing and mutilating thuie places which were *domed with great cost ; bitt perhaps in a few years the necessity of such preservation from injury would not apply to the exclusion of the public who were unable tar unwilling to pay. It appeared to him, however, that the object of preserving the materials from the apprehended Injuries of careless or mischievous visitors could be better • mined by placing a guardian to obviate such contin. gentle,. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH said that though it might happen to be true that serlarge • nom as 40.0001. had been t ',petaled un the repairs and embellishments of Westuninsto Abbey, yet it was a , fit subject of inquiry to know what sums had been paid by tie public for admissions to view the place, and in the purchase of ground for monuments Air. Secretary PEEL, in explanation, observed that the public did not pay rot the monuments. That expense was defrayed by private Individual.. Mr. SYKk" thought that the matter should be so arranged as that, where public monuments were placed, the facility of public admission should be an appendage. lie did not, however, approve of mich an accommodation at would produce a crowd of idle and IIIiSChiCTCBI% pen, its ; but he liked to vim an opportunity of ingress affbrdedvo those who would be ittthicetl to vi,it the 11101111111ellt11 by admitutiott ut the virtues and merits of those diminttuished finy'. duds *bode euceelletteiett they were designed to celebrate and to perpetuate. That palmate, he was cf opinion, could be accom. without the occurrence of any damage to those tribotes which were bestowed ou departed worth. He tlicught there wins au Inconsistency in the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Secretary Peel), for it patents, as in the instance of 1613, had been granted by his Majesty to certain persona, as keepers of the moms. menus, how could the claim of prescriptive rights be pretended in favour of the Dean and Chapter? Mr. Secretary PEEL, in explanation, said that he did not mean that the patents had been hewed except with the approbation of the Dean and Chapter, who had the power of such investment. Mr. DARIN° said, allowing that this was the property Of the Dean and Chapter, you gave to these individuals an extraordinary power. It was well known that formerly every Cathedral was open day add night to all classes of individuals, who repaired to them whenever they felt disposed, for the purpose of prayer ; but accord. ing to the view not taken, it appeared the Dean and Chapter might refuse to admit persons to divine worship, or might exact for the enjoyment of such a privilege whatever sum they pleased. Now, he contended, there could be no doubt but that the public had ori. ginally been as tree to enter Westminster Abbey as any other Ca. thedtal. and hs objected, theretore, to the suppo-ition that they had only a perntiasive right. If the Dean and Chapter were entitled to shut up any pallor the Abbey, they ought to be expected to make gond that title. Mr. Secretary FREI, said the Cathedral was open three tunes a day for divine worship, and he doubted the power of the Dean and Cnapter to exclude the public dunttg those periods. Of course no feettwere then taken. Mr. Alderman WOOD A/wowed, that the moment divine service waliover,iiidividuala were aaked for the fees. Mr. HUME said, if the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite would inquire, he would find there were funds belonging to that building which ought to be applied exclusively to its repair ; not half of them, however, was made sio available. lie objected altogether to the system at present adopted. islr. AIONCIi. thought it disgraceful that the Dean and Chapter should derive a p ut of their revenue Iron . the casual and fluctuating in dividuals. The of The motion wee then agreed to. SUPPLY-31 ISCEI. LA NEOUS ESTIMATES. • . . On . the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 3lr. Bee en brought up the report from the Cortunktes of Supply on the Allis cellangoua Ettitnatee. Oak resolution being proposed that 43,000/. be granted for carry• ing on the works at the Royal Harbour of George W. at Kings. town, Mr. HUME hoped that else Hon. Member would ascertain whe. ther it wan prudent to proceed with this work which he 'inspected would be found wholly useless. Mr. HENRIES iwid a - very minute investigation had token place; !trend men of eminence, and many nautical itien, hail been examined respecting this business. and it was their decided opinion that the work would be kund one of very considerable On the resolution being proposed that 56,000/. be granted fur foreign and other secret services. Mr. HUME inquired how it happened that in a time of peace this vote was to be increased 15.0001. He thought the sum 13rger than our want, could warrant, and he amid like to know for what it could be asked. M►. Secretary CANNING said the Hon. Gentleman had made a mistake ; there was no increase this year. lie did not feel him. self at liberty to give the lion. Gentleman the information he de sired. The House could either refuse or allow the grant, but he thought it would pause before it called on Ministers to develope the purposes of a grant, the title of wine!) bespoke its peculiar nature. Die lion. Gentleman should know that this grant was not for In. reign service, only but extended to ■ll the public offices. The Hight Hon. Gentleman made some further observations, but the low tune of voice in which he spoke renuered him inaudible in the gallery. . The other resolutions were then agreed to. CRUEL TREATMENT OF CATTLE. Ow the order of the day for the second reading of Mr. Martin's bill, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he should not oppose the bill is its present stage, but should avail himself of an after op. portnnitof making any objections that might occur to him. Mr. MARTIN supported the principle of his bill. The Attorney-t3enerid had promised to recommend the met sure to the Lord Chancellor. and yet he permitted the Solicitor-General to oppose .it. The Bill before the House was the same as the Hill which the Attorney-General approved of in every respect, except the introduction of the words dogs and other do. manic animals," and the addition of a proviso which substituted misdemeanor for felony. The A ttomey.(ieneral had disfigured th: Bill, and now the deformities of it were attributed to him (Mr. Martin); he was prepared to prove the truth of what he had said on former occasions. The lion. Member then repeated some of his former arguments in support of the Bill. Alderman WOOD said he had alr - ays supported the Honour. able Member for Galway in his attempts to prevent cruelty to ani. mats ; but he had one complaint to make of that lion. Gentleman, who had lately voted for the tioggirg of his own species (Hear, hear,) notwithstanding all his sympathy fur the brute creation. Mr. LAMB condemned the practice of introducing ;Hiram con. versatinr.s into debate. If the Attorney-General had a private con versation with the Hon. Member who was the udvo ate of the Bill, such conversation ought not to be introduced Into the discussion of the House. Mr. MARTIN denied that the conversation alluded to wa► pri vate; it was entirely of an open and public nature. Mr. LOCKHART said he had supported the measures which the Hon. Gentleman had on former occasions introduced into Par _ 'lament, and though he was favourable to the principle of the pre sent measure, he could not support the Bill. Mr. TRA NT moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr. WARRE said he thought the Honourable Member bad al. ready done enough, and that he should nut press the Bill on the Alf. MARTIN considered that to protect a dog was a sufficient reason to go into a CAmimittee. He had stated acts of cruelty to animals which shocked the delicacy of Honourable ;%ternbers, but if the recital shocked them, they ought to pass a law to prevent their recurrence. The penalty was too trifling ; not long since a bull-bait had taken place Hounslow, where the greatest cruelty had been practised upon the titifirtunate animal ; the man was taken before a 3lagistrate, finel 10s., which he instantly paid, and was discharged. That was no ptiniNhment ; a fine of fie. or 10s. was no punishment ; a man emit collect more money from admit ting persons to those cruel exhibitions, and lie had therefore wished to make the matter a misdemeanour. The question that the Bill be read a second time was then put, and negatived without a division. On the motion of Mr. THANT, the 9uemion was then pat that the Bill he read that day six months, which was agreed to. The other Orders of the Day being then disposed the House adjourned at TWELVE O'CLOCK. PRICES OF BRITISH pee Cent. Cone. 7:3 1 78 liitte Acct. 78 773 781 771 781 New 4 per Cent.

LONDON, FRIDAY, iliac,/ 17,1R244 Several of our contemporaries have been of late adverting to the state t.f the KING'S health, and by insintta:i(At have been endeavouring to persuade their readers that the nature of the disorder under which his MAJESTY hat h ero suffering was more serious than the public were aware of. We did not, at the time they appeared, think it necessa r y to contradict these mysterious paragraphs, because that would have been attaching more consequence to them t b ru they deserved; but it gives us sincere pleasure to pr ove their fallacy by the following bulletin, issued yesterday front the Royal Lodge. His MAJESTY for some time has be te labouring under a rather severe attack of gout, attend e d latterly with inflammation, which he has always been sub, ject to, and from which the Royal patient's constitution h e , generally received relief by the application of the pr o p er remedies. We have- now the gratiryine fact stated trot authority, that the best effects followtd the operation of bleeding on Monday and Tuesday, and that on the two following days (Wednesday and yesterday) a progeut te improvement in his MAJESTY'S health had taken place. King's Lodge, Windsor Park, March IC, MX The King has been for the last three weeks under the influence of gout ; but on Monday last his Majesty had also fever with symptoms of inflammation. The King was bled on Monday, sod again on Tuesday, with much relief. His Majesty had less fever yesterday, and has still least/3414y. (Signed) HENRY HALFORD, MATTHEW JO/IN TIERNEY, HENRY HERBERT SOUTUEY. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Exeunt's & in the House of Commons last night, a Select Committee was appointed, after a slight discussion, to inquire into the state of the circulation in small notes in Ireland sad Scotland. In the course of the creasing Mr. WYNN obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend 53d Geo. 111., respecting the appointment of writers in the service of the East India Company, and to remove doubts as to the payment of the allowances of officers dying while absent from India. The occasion for this measure has arisen from the necessity of sending out a supply of young men as writers in the Company's service. By the old law it was compulsory that three-fourths of these officers of the Com pany should be sent from the East India College. The object of the new Bill is to reduce that number, and to allow a larger portion of young men who have received only a general education to fill the vacant writerships, which amount now to ninety. From the French Papers received last night it appean that the rumours of disturbanc-..s about to break out in Spain, the indications of which we noticed so far back ris the 9th inst., have now gained a degree of certainty whi,:h must force them on the notice of our contemporaries. Fa ther CYRILLL is expected to take tl:e portfo!io of Minis:tr of Justice, in the event of the resignation of the Duke del IxraNTADO, who is so disgusted with Spat/ that he pro poses to retire into France. The alarm which Mixils departure from England has occasioned is said to be the real cause of the number of troops assembled on different points in Spain. MLitt NO is at the bead of a troop of cavalry in the neighbourhood of Benavente, and has sent emissaries to recruit for him to the very gates of Madrid. A whole regiment is even reported to have deserted from that city. Another Journal of the South of Franca states that a party has been surprised in the house of the widow of Pc;- sr ElttS, employed in preparing circulars, and that 2e , ) Bessierists had male their appearance on the read to To ledo. An expedition, consisting of a frigate and some stadia vessels, with 700 men on board, have sailed from Cadiz. Their destination is supposed to be the Canaries. CIIATEAUDIIIAND, in the Sitting of the Chamber of Poem of the 13th March, moved an amendment in the law against crimes committed in the Levant, for prohibiting all French subjects from engaging in the Slave Trade, as he very appropriately designated the freighting of vessels, to transport women and children, torn from the soil of Greece, to be sold in the markets of Asia. The Chamber of Peers adopted the amendment by a majority of 21. CIIATEAC• BRIAND twice exerted his eloquence for the amendment, and was supported with equal ability by his Noble Friend, M. LAIN/E. The French Journals pass great encomiums on the conduct of the Peers in this measure, and M. Huns De Naeviu.s, in the Chamber ofDeputies, took occasion, the same day, in the debate on the St. Domingo Indem nity, to express his abhorrence of the conduct of those Frenchmen who bad reduced Missolonghi to a state of such distress. The Marquis de la CHALOToIS has addressed a letter to several French journals, complaining of the re2eetiona which have been cast by the Etoile on his grandfather, and threatening to prosecute the conductors of that pr. Whatever grounds there may be for the proceeding, it xr tainll., will most extraordinary to prosecute a journal for scandal against a Tian whO has e l ti `en yeti" , and who has been accused of being an associate of VOL. TIRE, IhDEROT. and D'AtAm BLIT. 'the Congreptto is said to meditate some interference in this extraordinary cause. The debate on the Indemnity to the Colonists of St- I)omingo disclosed some important facts rezpectirg the Gong royaux (French exchequer bills) and the operation st the Syudicot of the Receivers-General eatablish‘il in Jul) . last.
