It was to recall to their recollection a chasm made in the Vice-Presidency of this l os tatutiou, im event witch was deplored et the time of its occur fetter by teery feeling mod honourable man in the empire—hp allotted to the de•Hh of their late la mented and resiwclial Vice.Pre.ident, Sir Samuel Itomilly.—/Hear, Ice w.f.—lle felt that it was due to the memory of an great and good a man, to dwell a little on those parts of his character which gave bias such waiver-al esteem. To touch upon such a subject, would, he knew, be grateful to their sensibilities; but from the sudden manner in whirls Ile was called upon to Make the present motion, he regretted he had not that opportunity of e hich he should have otherwise availed himself, of preparing something suitable on so interesting and damentable au occasion. It was quite impossible. however, to advert to the event which deprived them of such a Vice• President, without touching upon the character of the man, and the souse- quence of his lost, without a lying something of the career of that very great and lamented indi vidual. lie had indeed expected the presence of persons (flow he presumed unavoidably absent) who w e r e more acqua i n ted then he was with that great man's character, in all its bearings, tad who could have done it re competent justice than be could, slink they were at the same time equally well ac quaiiitcd as lie was with the deep interest he took ►n the business ut tins liotifittinti. He was sure that every Gent!rutin who heard linn, felt as he ought the occurrence cf that melancholy evens, which deprived the nation at large of so blight an ornament—which deprived the unfortunate and the oppressed of every rank and every clime, of a steady benefactor—and which. shove all, deprived the wretched and suffering native of Africa, of • noble and efficient friend, whose loss to that native was indeed irreparable. To attempt to describe the great, and varied, and extensive merits of Sir S. Ro undly, would require more labour than he was capalile of exercising—more time than the Meeting could devote to such a poirioase. As to his conduct as a Member of the tegislature, he (Mr. Stephen) trusted lie might, with peculiar propriety. he per mitted to say somethiug on that head, for it was his misfortsme, while in Pio hament, to have dif fered from Sir Samuel Rornilly on almost all the great leading political questions in which that cha racter took so distinguished a part. To differ on political questions was • privilege which English men always did, and always would exercise, and on which it was rather to lie wished than deprecated, they would still continue to disf e e.—(ihass.)— Having dissented hoist the views of that great nisu on such topics, lie thought his sincerity could nut he doubted, ahem, now that he was in his grave, he wished to play a tribute to his ineinary.—(Hear.)— He WWI, atierefore, say. that on all•questions not involvitig the strife and collisieu of political party in Parlianieut, no mass took a better shirrs than the late Sir Samuel Itorssilly—but above all his great efforts stood those lay which lie sought to improve the system of the Civil mid Crimitial Code of his country, which, great and glorious as it was, yet required some partial revisiou, iii which he (Mr. Stephen) had been his cordial, though feeble sup porter. Ilia great efforts in this cause were worthy of Isis high character—( Hear, hear) —and the as well as Africa, has by his death lost au invaluable hiend.

Mr. WILBERFORCE. in an eloquent speech, moved the Thanks of the Meeting to the Royal Chairman. Ile said, that the presence of that il lustrious Personage prevented him from attempting to pay that just tribute to his Royal Highness, to which his tfforts and services so eminently entitled him. He assured the Meeting that his Royal High ness was not the mere ornament that decorated the top of their fabric, but its most substantial sap. porter, who regularly and duly attended all the business of the Institution.—( Hear, hear, hear.)— lu to their Cause, he said that Tome per suits hail at the peace conceived all their labours finished; their cause, at one time, looked nearer to consummation than at another, just es a traveller 'saw SO eminence nearer at one time and more re mote at another, owing to the different density of the intervening medium. But the traveller knew he was still pursuing his journey, and must soon reach the height—in like manner they knew they were advancing to the end of their labours. If they looked to the motion of the sun upon an horn. rary dial, its advance, though sure, was scarcely at the instant perceptible. The Hon. Gentleman then entered largely into the present state of the Slave Trade, and said it was not to be wondered, after Africa had so long been the arena of murder and desolation, that some ravenous birds of prey should still drop occasionally on the shores of Afrk, and pounce upon a carcass; but these would, he was I persuaded, in the end be chased away by their per severing efforts. He concluded by lamenting the smallness of their funds. Lord GAMBIER seconded the motion of Thanks to the Royal Chairman, which was carried by ac clamation. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER expressed the deep sense he felt sit the kindness of the Meeting, and assured them that both in this , country and elsewhere, he should ever continue the sincere and ardent promoter of their laudable and humane objects.—(Applause.) Our the motion of Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, Thanks were returned to Mr. Harrison. the H..no. rary Secretary, for his gratuitous services.

The Chamber then resolved itself into a Secret Committee, to deliberate oil the resolutiou of the Chamber of Peers relative to the Elections. M. Martin de Gray, the first speaker inscribed, in en energetic speech, opposed the Resolution. The vague terms of it, he said, were only a veil to culpable intentions: it was a dangerous whinge ment upon the representative system : the ton of the Charter was preferable. It was au insult to two-fifths of the Chamber, elected by virtue of the law. In support of the injudicious teudency of the proposition, lie called the attention of the Chamber to the numerous petitions with which they were assailed.

He said the Commission had Ar cided, without discussing the proposition, snider the influence of views foreign to the question. A ma. jority of the Peers had decided upon the neces►ity of useful changes in the elective system, and this was a strong presumption in reply to the raucorous epithets which had been lavished upon the proposed amelioration. He could prove, that the present Law of Elections was vague and arbitrary in its tenor, and that it enabled the King's Ministers to exercise an influence in that Chamber hostile to public liberty ; and in support of digs assertion he referred to the abuse of fraudulent patents, and affirmed, that by payments of 25 francs, ►ndividual■ were eligible to exercise the rights of an elector; by which means legitimate electors were deprived of their rights, inasmuch as only a tenth of the lat ter presented themselves at the. Electoral Colleges, and consequeutly the patentees were masters of die elections.

MARCH 25, 1119. Paris Papers of Sunday last have arrived at our Ofr.ce.

The Committee of the Sniffing Fund communi cated their Report III) the subject to both Chsin. berm, :mil *Warded a strung proof, if any were re quired, that the resources of France, if wisely ad ministered, tire fully equal to disburden her in e short period of all her peseta encumbrances. The foods applicable to the redemption of her debt ate stated at ten millions of renter, and bear such a proportion to its amount, as to hold out a certaits assurance of its rapid liquidation. Oir the rouclusion of the Report on the Sinking Food, Baron Louts, the Minister of Finance, rocended the tribrne, and gave a detailed reposi tion of the Ways and Newts necessary to meet the exigencies of the present year. Tete estimates of expeosea, as stated in his recent exposition, aintsusit ed to 889,210,000 Ganes, or something more data 37,000,0001.—m0d this sum, although farexceeding the estimate of the preceding year, the Nliiiister id enabled to raise without a loan, or any increase of the existing taxes. A detailed accnuor o f the respective produce of each tax will be found in oar extracts ftun► these Papers. We have often had occasion to remark on the unshaken solidity of the resources of France, and on the excellence of the system by which Ii finances appear to be administered —not, surely, with the idle view of contrasting either with the financial state of this' country, but with the hope of drawing such public attention to our own resources. and our system of management, as gamy induce *41.- sire to husbaud the one, and correct, by a fair compa rison with the practice .of our immediate rival, what may be found er emu in the other.
