o re the wiews or Motive% of the Right Hon. B4 ,„„ et (Sir J. N. , wport), who introduced the he had uo douht that they were pure ; but certainly lie thought that, when the lloo....Barouet formed the Bill, he had not all line wits about him. wh e n the proper period arrived, lie would produce extraordillary document, one which would 61,Irr iSt the House, and was worthy of serious at tention. He would point out the mean. of pee vettieg extensive fraud and peculation in Ireland— A ( wring in that country at least 50,0001. a-year, „, a ua which k thought was well worth looking t iter. Sir J. NEWPORT said, it bar merely his inten tion, that the Bill should he printed, with certain *sawiirlments of his Learned Friend (Mr. Courteiiiiy), re-commi , ted on Friday. He had no interest „o,„ t oier, in bringing it forward—he was not von word with any Clei k of the Peace in us such a measure appeared to be neceigary, b, had fulfilled a public duty, in introducing it. The Bill ass then ordered to be re-committed G e Fridsy next. BANKRUPT ACT AMENDMENT BILL . On the motion of Mr. J. SMYTH, the House re :'self into a Committee to re-consider the B. of the above Bill. slittrlTOß-GENERAL adverted to a clause t dill, which pointed out those individuals who t.i he subject to the Bankrupt Laws, and con trolled that it was calculated to produce a greater de.4.ee of litigation than almost any other provision OA could be drrittedi. ftle, ,I. SMYTIt said, the clause had been consi .le„dip and a pproved oryby mai.y eminent Lawyers. As the law at present Mood, great difficulty existed in knowing who did, and . iho (lid not, come within the meaning of the BAnkrept Laws—and the clause was iiderided to remedy this defect. Ile would, however, have the clause re-modelled, so as to meet t he trollies of the Learned Gentleman. After some conversation between the Solicitor- C-neral, Mr. T. Councils'', Mr. Grant, Si J. Newport, Mr. Serjeant Cinslow, Mr. Finlay, and M.-. Martin, the dative was rejected. The clause visa read for esabling trustees, sip. proved by the majority of the creditors, to disi n . bole the property of one who declared himself in competent to meet his engurtnentP. clause else sorted certain acts which should be considered acts of bmikrieptcy. Mr. J. SMYTH contended warmly for the neces sity of typifying the arts of trustees acting under the authority of the wittjur part of the creditors. In support of his view of the case, lie mentioned oceorwrwee which scene time since hail come to lis knowledge. A tradesman within the Bankrupt Laws. its London, finding himself embarrassed, laid open his affairs to his creditor:, and truster s Peeing appointed to administer his property. a very considrnible dividend was made without muds delay or expense. The tradesman had had dealings nn the West Indies, where one of his creditors re sided, who by some fatality was not consulted on this occasions, and who WAS not apprised of the trinanidinii. This creditor returned to England about twenty years ilftCrlTBllll4, funk out a cont. mission of he.ikruptcy against the trader, and yourodled the trustees to pay hilts the full :Imolai of his debts out of their own pockets. Tile Sot ICITOR-GL:NBRAL commented at some length upon ti.e clause, to the principle of which be lied iso objection, but it seemed to Inin very vaguely expers•stl, and calculated to give more oc- Casson to litigation than any of the exi.ting laws on bankruptcy. He also objected to it, because it 11.- 4nfeted what was acknowledged to be law already for instance, it was clearly under:A(lA to be the low, dn•t if an individual, leaving his house with- Pia( ut the time any intention of not i royi,. K his crednors, should prolong his absence with such intention, it should he considered au uct of bank iuptev. There was no necessity of declaring this to be Saw in the present Jill. Feb. it. GRAN? observed, that the present clause would considerably increase the difficulties of a subject already too complicated. There were in the existing laws 16 or 17 acts of bankruptcy created, the present clause event to create six , by which means traders would be so enviroued with dangers, that, in any difficulties arising, it would he impossible fur the most honest man to ovoid act of bankruptcy. After a burgher conversation on this clauses Mr. J. SMYTH coinented to withdrew it, on the thhit he wosiM remodel it, end bring it up on ti slab-villein. evening. Sir C. BURRELL suggested the propriety of post polling the furthe► pit-situp upon. this subject, us the witiartti•ett int the l'enryti Election Committee were tit attendance. Mr. K. MARTIN vras ready to sit up until four o'clock to the mo gto see the discussion out.— lie ail* au advocate fur the propriety and regularity of padianteotary proceeding,. Mr. Jona tistr rtt said he kid no objection to the po-tpinienient of the present question. Tlie Ctiairinun then obtained leave to report pro gress, and it &split on Friday next. PE:NUYS ELECTION.

M►Y 20, isig. the debate on Mr. TIERNEY'S motion, in the House of Co 1111111111 l on Tuesday night, is That the Huuse do resolve itself into a Committee on the State of the Nation," affords ample field for grave and serious consideration. It was candidly admitted by that Hight Hon. Cenerman, that the motion, if tarried, must Milkier the overthrow of the present Ministere, and they acknowledged the jtistice of the remark. Apprised of the consequence of their defeat, they had made every possible exer tion to avert it—and when they came to action, they conducted themselves like men who knew they fought fur their existence. With respect to the fulness of the attendaiice, it would be idle to compare the th%ivivat with that un any other greet contest prior to the Union with Ireland, when the Huuse obtained an addition of one !Mo dred new Members. The intertul since that period !tarnishes the only true ground of estimate, and on a comparison with the great divisions in that time, the attendance of Tuesday night ores the fullest on the lecorils of the House. Oes the New Admit& strewn in 1807, the total number was LO5 ; on the Cntliolic question in 181%815 ; and on Tuesday night, 536—ottio , ive of Messrs. Wvarr, PHILLt. SOW'. FRANK LAND LEWII, and Fakesi•vine, who were present at the debate, bat retired before the division. 'flint the majority on the part of Ministers is a triumphant our. we are not disposed • to deny-s-that i! must have greatly rxceeded their own expectations, is not less apt wrens. Had they not feared the result, it would have barn scarcely necessary un the part of Lord CasTI.EItIAGH and Mr. CAirNIN• to remind their retainers and expel:l4**a% Of the good cheer they now enjoyed, and the danger they ran of losing it. Georials of old sought to animate their troops by 'rutin& tog them that they fought for their religion, their relatives, and friends; but it was reserved fur the pre- Stilt Cosuitimider of the Alieisterial troop?, to stimu late their valour, to inflame their courage, :Mil louse their energies, by threatening them wish the loss of their loaves rod fishes, their beef and their plum-pudding. should they themselves to he vanquished.

He probably did not coritymplate attiring his friends and retainers many country Gem:emelt, of large fortune, independent Pritictides, generous temper, and high and delicate sense of honour. !le addressed iiiinseif to his placenicii and pensioners. The result she's!, that the argument Was nut lost upon them. The filiiiorily, of which u list is given in another port of our Paper, was composed of very differ rut materials. To a forandable number they added the moral force of character. Had office, and the good cheer accompanying, been their object, it might have been accomplished lung since. They might have sacrificed their principles in gross on the Catholic Question, or gone over in detail to the standard of the enemy, where talents and activity have been long invited by a high bounty. Hut the good of their country has been always found with thrin a greatly superior consi deration, and they have remained steady at their post, the iistlefotigable but ill-requited guar dians of their country—sorry when defeated in their exertions for its prosperity, and rejoicing when, by their interference, they can protect it against the weakness and selfishness of Ministers. While, however, we admit the display of their strength as calculated to dispel the fears of Minis ters for their political existence, we trust that they will use their triumph with discretion, and not presume to force upon the country oppressive measures, to which they have professed themselves wedded, sod against which the country has as dr cidedly declared its abhorrence. Among these is the Income Tax, that bed of thralls to the people, but a bed of rush on which Lord CAIITLEILEAGVI and his friends long to repose.—We throw this out merely as a hint to the public to be on their guard— " The bright day briaga forth the adder, and that craves wary walking." to another part of our Paper will be found • long series of Resolutions, passed by the General Court of Director* of the Batik, by way of answer to two questions proposed to them by the Secret Committee of the House of Common', relative to the time for which, in their opinion, it would be expedient to continue the restriction on Cash Pay meats, and whether any, and what legislative enact meiits would facilitate the return to • metallic cur rency. The Bank decline giving a direct answer to these questions, on the ground that the Restric tion Act was altogether a measure of general policy, and with the exception of recommending a gradual repayment of the Government debt to the extent of ten millions, they are of opinion that it is not in the power of Parliament to expedite the return of the country to a secure metallic currency. This, they affirm, must depend on the foreign exchanges, over which the amount of their issues and the votes of Parliament can exercise no control. It is in teresting to hear the Bank delivering their impres sions on this subject, and stating the motives that have influenced their general conduct ; we have therefore presented their Resolutions to the public, but their reasoning is, we conceive, extremely un satisfactory, and their opinions such as cousist neither with theory nor practice. a'l'e have received the Paris Papers of Sunday lut. In the Chamber of Peers, on Saturday, the first projet of law, relative to the Press, wits adopted by a majority of 130 against 50.
