CITY, Two o'CLocK. A very active demand for money is now expe rienced both in the general market and at the Bank of England, which is chiefly attributable to the requirements of the country bankers, who, as usual at this season, augment their. supplies of coin to meet the harvest expenditure. The inquiry has also been stimulated by the bills falling due to-day, the 4th inst., which are understood to be rather considerable. The rates charged for accommodation, however, though firmer, remain without important alteration ; 2 1 ,- per cent. is still the lowest quotation for the best descriptions of commercial paper. Should the market continue active, however, after the payments now in pro gress, the probability of an advance in the value of money to 3 per cent, may soon form a subject of discussion in speculative circles. About £18;000 in Australian gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. _ _ The rate of discount at Frankfort has been re duced to 1 a s per cent. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday only ft very moderate business was transacted, and prices tended downwards. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and values were depressed. The general meeting of the shareholders of the London and County Banking Company was held to-day. The report merely stated that there was a surplus of £6,291 14s. 10d. to be carried forward after the payment of a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, and that the Western Bank of Lon don had been transferred on the 2d of May last. The gross profits, with former balance for the six months were £101,321 4s. 7d., which was reduced by the various deductions to the surplus above stated of £6,291 14s. 10d. There was some dis cussion about the realisation of the Sadleir estates, which the chairman, Mr. Nicol, said he hoped would take place in the early part of next year. The report was adopted unanimously. The market for English Securities to-day has been exceedingly quiet, and very little variation has occurred. Consols hare been 941 95 for money and account. The speculators are operating to a !my limited extent, and during the next few days the settlement will exercise some influepce upon the market. Very few investments are recorded. Bank Stock has receded to 222 ; the New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 951 d ; India Stock is firmilat 2191 to 2211 ; and Exchequer Bills are flat at 275. prem. A moderate business has been transacted in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices remain firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80 to 82 ; ditto New Loan, 70 to 72 ; and the 4 per Cents. are 1021; Peru vian 41 per Cents. have advanced to 911; Russian 41 per Cents. to 981 and 991; Venezuelan New 21 per Cents. to 281 and 29, and the 1 per Cents. to 15Z ; Dutch 21 per Cents. are steady at 65i ; and Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. at 71. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round numbers as under :- 1859. 1858.

There is a de crease in the North-Eastern of £1,280, and in the Great Western of Canada of £1,337. The Railway Share Market bas been exceedingly inactive, and the limited business recorded has not created much variation in values. Great Northern have improved about £l, and Great Western, North Eastern (York), and South Eastern, ss. Caledo nians and North Eastern (Berwick) have declined 5 9., and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s.

He (prosecutor) said he was sure he was not, and that he had got it, and the prisoner then produced it, apparently from his sleeve, and ran off, he (prosecutor) pursuing him with the cry of " Stop thief," and he was secured by some of the persons present, Sergeant Green, 24 A, said the prisoner was known to Cole, the detective. - --d1 - -Al -d -d 19 420 1i Idi 1 lid 1 d 'AYS.

On the vote of £130,000 for the purchase of a portion of the site, and towards defraying the cost of the erection,2f the New Foreign Office, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the principal portion of the vote was required for the pre paration of the ground for the new building, which was stated to be afloat on a basis of peat. With regard to the expense of the building, the Government was for the first time in a position to state what would be the actual cost of public works. Heretofore the course adopted was to pre sent to the house a moderate estimate, and as works pro ceeded the country found itself involved in enormous ex pense. The sum required for these offices might startle them by its large amount, but the figure might be relied on. Mr. Hunt, the surveyor, stated that the cost for the erection of the building, according the design of Mr. Scott, would be £ 4 230,000, and a responsible builder had undertaken to construct the work for a sum of £232,000. That included everything comprised in the plan of Mr. Scott, but did not provide for those contingencies which emerged during the progress of a large building. Mr. Hunt estimated the whole cost for erecting the building at £310,000, and the amount for the site at £12,000 ; making a total of £420,000. That total did not provide for furniture and other expenses. With respect to the plans, as had been stated on a previous occasion, it was not intended to alter them before the re assembling of Parliament. Lord ELCHO reviewed the proceedings already adopted in reference to the foreign offices. He did not agree with those who considered the Gothic style was unsuited to the new offices, for he thought it was appropriate to the de partments required in such a building. With regard to its being incongruous he considered that rather an advantage, as nothing to his mind was more disagreeable than un• broken monotony in architecture. The noble lord referred to Paris and other cities in support of his opinion. Mr. TITE defended the committee that had inquired into the subject, and contended that the Italian style of architecture was more suited to public buildings than the Gothic. He denied that the latter style was national, or that it would be congruous with a large mass of building that would be permitted to remain undisturbed in the neighbourhood of the new offices. [LEFT SITTINe.] THE GAS BILL. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the in habitants of Southwark, in London, in favour of this bill. BUSINESS OF THY ROUSE Mr. LANG suggested, as the most convenient course, that hon. members who had motions on the paper should postpone them until the evening. Mr. LINDSAY, who had a motion for calling the atten tion of the house to the present state of the shipping inte rest, stated that he would comply with the suggestion of the hon. gentleman. His only object at the present stage of the session was to elicit the opinion of Government on the subject.. SUPPLY, The house then went into committee of supply. £6,000 was voted for class-rooms, library, and other ac commodation at Queen's College, Aberdeen. On the vote of £11,500 for an embankment of the wall at one side of Windsor Castle, the removal of the dilapidated portions of the edifice and the hundred steps leading to the north terrace, some discussion arose, but it was ultimately agreed to. - On the vote of £482,000 for erecting the new bridge at Westminster and the approaches thereto, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that the vote provided only for the appivach at one side of the river, and he did not see why such wealthy counties as Middlesex and Surrey should not be required specially to contribute towards the work by which they would be specially bene fited. He wished to know if the sum in question would be all that was likely to be required for the undertaking. Mr. FITZROY said that if an) , dependence could be placed on the statements of engineers, he had their testi mony that the sum specified would be sufficient for the completion of the bridge and approaches. With regard to Middlesex and Surrey contributing specially to the construction of the bridge, he referred hon. members to the report drawn up under the auspices of Moles worth, from which they would perceive that accordinc , to act of Parliament, Westminster bridge was .taken out •of the category of other bridges. The act stated that this bridge was to be considpred a national and not a local work, and that any expenses attendant on it should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund. Mr. AYRTON considered that Government would have acted more wisely if they did not interfere in the construc tion of works like the present, but leave them in the hands of a municipal body, as was the case in Liverpool and other large towns. • After some discussion the vote was agreed to, as well as an additional sum of £40,000 solely for the approaches. NEW FOREIGN OFFICE. BERWICK-ON-TWEED ELECTION. In accordance with the instructions of the Council of the Northern Reform Union, Mr. R. B. Reed'has visited Berwick-upon-Tweed, to inquire whether there was any foundation for certain reports of the existence of bribery and corruption at the late election for that borongh. Mr. Reed has reported the result of his inquiries to the council, and ex• presses his conviction that at the late election cor ruption of all kinds was extensively practised. As illustrative of the state of feeling in the town, one respectable tradesman informed him that he was thoroughly ashamed of the whole business, and that the borough ought to be disfranchised ; while another gentleman said it was a matter of indifference what the political opinion, position, or personal qualifications •of a candidate might be ; if he " gave out the money" in a proper manner, and to a sufficient amount, he might rely upon being returned for Berwi3k. Mr. Reed thus concludes his report :—" In addition to the modes of corruption above described, the Conservative party, no doubt, strengthened their position at the last election by promising that if they were suc cessful, Lord Derby's Government would repair the barracks, and again make the town a military station. To a small town like Berwick this was a question of great importance, considerably affecting the profits of tradesmen and publicans. Neither Capt. Gordon nor Mr. Earle, it is true, made direct statements that upon their election the desirable result of military occupation' depended, but other means were taken that: were equally as effective. The Berwick Warder, the Conservative organ, issued a supplement on the 16th of April, which was profusely distributed, containing the following announcement We have great pleasure in an nouncing that the prolonged struggle in which we have been engaged, to vindicate the claims of our town to be retained as a military station, have been brought to a successful issue. We have derived this satisfactory information from a private letter, which we ourselves had the opportunity of reading, ad dressed by the highest authority to a gentleman occupying an official position, who has taken a deep interest in the question, and whose connection with Berwick will, we confidently expect, be productive of much benefit to our town, should it assume that permanent character which we have every right to anticipate. We have reason to believe that the military authorities,. armed by the formidable re port of the surveyor, whose approaching visit was announced by Captain Gordon some weeks ago, have determined, in concert with the Trea sury, to make arrangements for the repair of the barracks. We may, therefore, expect, before many months have elapsed, to find our barracks re open ed by her Majesty's troops.' Mr. Earle, the gentleman occupying an official position, to whom this paragraph clearly refers, in an address dated April 11 (two days after), made a modest referencd to:his services by saying I have always ven tured to assert that your local interests would not suffer by being committed to my charge; but I should be very unwilling to found a claim to your suffrages upon any recent success which may have attended my efforts to serve you, however impor tant their object.' The meaning intended to be conveyed by these statements is very manifest, and justifies the accusation of Government influence having been used to secure the election of Messrs. Gordon and Earle. As a further illustration of the connection of these gentlemen with the government, it may be stated that, within a few days after their return, government appointments were given to several of their active supporters. I found a very general desire expressed in the borough that a com mission of inquiry should be appointed to investi gate the whole of the circumstances connected with the late election. The necessity for such an inquiry has been rendered more urgent from the evident attempt, on the part of both Whigs and Tories, to hush up' their corrupt proceedings by withdraw ing the petition against the sitting members, and quietly dividing the representation. Such a com mission would, no doubt, produce a much more ela borate and complete report than it is possible for any private individual, and a stranger to the town, like myself, could collect. I believe, however, even in this imperfect report, there will be found suffi cient evidence to justify a petition to parliament praying for such an inquiry." DONATIONS OF WINE TO HOSPITALS.—The Duke of Northumberland has presented 1,000 bottles of sherry to the Middlesex Hospital, in addition to the same quantity to the Westminster Hospital, as mentioned a few days ago, and the like quantity to the Newcastle Infirmary, expressly for the use of the poor patients. This wine is of a very superior quality, and has been twenty years in the cellars of Northumberland House. GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL, KING'S CROSS.— Number of patients for the week ending August 3, 1,077 ; of which 479 were new cases. A letter from Florence states that the energetic and well-directed efforts of Mr. Stockton, the American Minister at Rome, have obtained for Mr. E. W. Perkins from that Government the sum of 3,425 Roman scudi, as compensation for losses at Perugia, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the committee would not assent to the clause, which'was vague and uncer tain. At present an executor could compound a debt, and if he did that for his testator, which a prudent man would do on his own account, he would be , indemnified by the Court under the 34th clause of this bill. The clause was negatived, and the preamble having been agreed to, the bill was ordered to be reported, with amend ments, and the house resumed. SUPPLY, On the motion of Mr. BRAND, the house then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply—Mr. Massey in the chair —when the adjourned debate on the vote of £40,000 for the improvement of the Kaffir tribes was resumed. Mr, CONINGHAM said that as this vote was, he under stood, to be reduced next year, he would withdraw his op position to it on this occasion. The vote was then agreed to, as was the vote of £69,215 to defray the expenses of the Treasury chest. On the vote of £30,000 for the Submarine Telegraph Companies being proposed, Mr. AYRTON asked the position of the Government if the company did not proceed with the Red Sea line P Mr. LAING replied that the position was the same as the Government guarantees to the other lines. The vote was then agreed to, as was a'so £12,000 for the Niger Expedition, £7,949 for the Zambesi Expedition, £4,700 for the insp:ctors of corn returns, £1,946 for the registrar of joint- stock companies, and £11,850 for revis ing barristers. _ _ - On the vote of £3,332 to defray the expenses of the po lice at Aldershott being put, Mr. W. WILLIAMS objected to this item. It was monstrous that such a sum should be required to keep a body of soldiers in order. Mr. LAING urged that the police were necessary to keep, not the soldiers, but camp followers in order. The vote was then agreed to, as was a sum of £3,000 for the inspector of burial grounds. • On the vote of £2 000 for the National Portrait Gallery, Mr. SPOONER denounced the vote and expressed his determination to take the sense of the committee against it. Mr. AYRTON was of opinion that the proposed vote was a lavish and useless expenditure of the public money. Lord PALMERSTON reminded the committee that this was a question which had already been fullidiscussed, and that this was not a vote for the advancement of art, but for the formation of a gallery of portraits, which served to illus trate the history of the country. He could not but think that this was a highly interesting subject to the country, and that it was maintained at a comparatively trifling ex pense. Mr. CONTNGHAM objected to the vote, and contended that the collection might be brought under the machinery of the National Gallery. Mr. STIRLING supported the vote, which was opposed by Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR. After a conversation, participated in by Sir J.V. Shelley, Mr. Augustus Smith, Mr. Blackburn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Ridley, Mr. Briscoe, and Mr. W. Williams, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the vote . Against it 35 Majority The vote was then agreed to. A vote for a sum of £2,050 for the boundary survey of Ire land was agreed to, as also were the following :—£2,140 for the collection of agricultural and emigration statistics in Ireland ' • £23000, for the new courts and offices at the Four Courts, llubhn ; £1,300 for Pitcaiin's Island, and £11,440 for the General Register Office, Edinburgh. On the vote of £2,000 for the purchase of Sir ;George Hayter's picture of the opening of the First Reformed Par liament, Mr. SPOONER objected, and asked if it had been pur chased, and by whom. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if it had been paid for, it had been so by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer ; the present Government had nothing to do with it. Mr. SPOONER objected to the vote. Col. FRENCH said the picture had boon purchired on a vote of the late House of Commons, and he therefore did not blame any Government. He should support the vote. A desultory conversation ensued, which terminated in a division, when the numbers appeared— -82 For the vote Against it The CHAIRMAN, amidst laughter, gave his casting vote, and declared the Ayes to have it. The next vote was for a sum of £l,o69forthe purchase of old gun metal to be employed in the construction of monu mental statues to the late Brigadier-General Niel, in the county of Ayr; of General Havelock, at Sunderland; and the Royal Engineers' Monument at_Chath am, was agreed to amidst loud cheers. Upon a vote of £9,988 for the cost of constructing in fire-proof rooms adjoining the Sheepshank Gallery a n t South Kensington, to receive thteioVnalernGoalln,oryT andoafnda other pictures belonging' to the Na separate entrance-thereto. Mr. CONINGHAM asked what were the real intentions of the Government with regard to the National Gallery ? The removal of s portion of the pictures from Trafalgar square gave rise to suspicions of their ultimate intentions. He wished also to know whether there was any change in the decision to grant a site for the Royal Academy at Bur lington-house ? Lord PALMERSTON said the exact arrangements for providing a site for the Royal Academy bad not yet been settled, but he apprehended that the arrangement suggested by the last Commission f Mointaining the National Gal lery in Trafalgar-squire would be adopted, the House of Commons consenting to vote the expenses necessarily at tendant upon such an enlargement of the gallery as would be required. There was no intention, under cover of this vote, to transfer permanently to Kensington-gore any por tion of the pictures which were now in the National Gal.. lery. (Cheers.) Lord ELCHO suggested that before any headtit into too h mi e otosfßd general re y itna a l ie nwr aAh thisc cao constitution. the out unatnt iroAcademy n: inquiryanld twasfshouldhuefulfilled lt slhue dopup b i gtoesshsi etstfunctions, instituted iwttoasimbgranted t aantnhtnodet that it should be freely open to all artists, whether oil painters, water:colour painters, sculptors, or engravers. A (H o e d ar e , hear.) He wi s h e d i nqu i ry to b e made whether the a school on ouorfs were foro freely the instruction u t c o ti o au n of artistsartiste, ia and a whether myasw its honours Great Britain? (Hear, hear.) . Mr. AYRTON objected to this enormous expenditure for a temporary purpose. (Hear.) It was proposed to remove the Royal Academy to Burlington-arcade. Surely a year would be long enough to erect that building, and whencom pleted the space now occupied by the Royal Academy . in the National Gallery would be available for these pic tures- Supposing that were not so, why should not the tem porary budding be erectedon the vacant ground at Burling ton.house ? In the name of the workhig classes, and in the name of all who resorted to the metropolis for plsasure or The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was the misfortune of discussions of questions of art in that house that it allowed all the subjects connected with it to run into one another. On this vote the house had discussed the constitution of the Royal Academy, its condition and rela tions to the public, and the site of the National Gallery. On the lathy point nothing could be more clear than the state ment of his noble friend (Lord Palmerston), that it was the generally expressed wish of the House of Commons that the gallery should be kept in Trafalgar-square. With regard to the Royal Academy, it would be very inconvenient at that moment to discuss its relations with the Government ; but there was no disposition whatever on the part of the Govern • ment to defeat the intentions of the hpuse. It would be ac commodated on some part of the site of Burlington-house, but the disposal of that site was a great question, and it would be quite inexcusable of the Government if it parted with the whole of it piece by piece. With respect to the question immediately before the house, what had been done was to meet a ease of urgency, and took place before the estimates could be brought forward. It would, perhaps, have been more convenient had the amount of this vote been paid out of the civil contingencies, which were intended to provide for such urgent cases. It appeared that some progress had been made in creating these buildings ; it had been asked why the Government did not make use of the rooms belonging to the Royal Academy. The answer to the question was, that the Royal Academy existed for two pur poses, one primary, the other secondary; the exhibition of pictures was only the secondary purpose of the Academy, its principal object was teaching. Now, such were the condi tions of the space occupied by the Royal Academy, that during the period of its exhibition of pictures it was obliged to suspend the teaching of its schools ; and if the Govern ment took the rooms of the Academy it "would totally pats ' brae the means of teaching. Another suggestion was, that these temporary buildings should be raised on the vacant space at the back of Burlington-house; but in the course of a year or two, when the space would be required for the permanent edifice, these temporary erections must be again removed and placed somewhere else; the inconvenience of the case would be thus aggravated. There was a great deal in the suggestion that Government might have hired build ings for the purpose, but much could also be said against it. If the buildings at Kensington were inconveniently situated with respect to the Tower Hamlets, they would be inconve nient with regard to some part of the metropolis wherever they might be placed. But at Kensington they were acces sible to a large part of the population of London, not belong ing exclusively to the upper classes, which derived from the collection there abundant enjoyment of a kind it never be fore possessed. The buildings for which the vote was asked were temporary, as far as the pictures were concerned, but he understood they would be available for other pur poses after the paintings were removed. The establish ment at Kensington was a young and growing one— (" Hear, hear," and laughter)—and extremely popular. It was intended to be a repository of illustrations of art, and it could net remain stationary, or it would become a mu seum. With regard to the intrigues or mysterious in fluences an hon. member had referred to, they were quite imaginary ; they were phantoms the hon. gentleman had perceived, and nothing more : . " He sees - a form we cannot see," and appears to be aware of much that we know nothing about. As far as we know, the purpose of the vote is very simple, and is confined within very narrow limits. Sir J. SHELLEY would not object to the vote if the buildings were applied to public purposes when the pictures were removed. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought there had been a sys tematic attempt to set aside the authority of the house. Mr. MALINS would support the vote if assured that the buildings would ultimately be required for a permanent and public purpose. • The committee divided, when the numbers were— For the vote ll6 Against it Majority —43 The next vote put from the chair was for a sum of £5,000 to Mr. W. H. Barber, in consideration of the sufferings he had undergone, and of his distressed circumstances. Mr. B.

THE AUCTIONEER AT RYDAL ' , MOUNT.—The sound of "going—going-gone" has within the last week or two been heard at Rydal Mount a , along Wordsworth's books and pictures. In a dusty room 'in the Strand or Pic cadilly the tap of the hammer, to wli. eh we have been sum moned by a fluttering catalogue, is a sound harmonious enough; but in a place which has b eRn advertised as " the haunt of pious memories," it see va a 1 .. 0 be exactly one of those melodies which " unheard w , m'id have been sweeter still." * * * Rydal Mount, em.)eforward an historical spo, it 1 1813.

BARING brought up the report of the general committee of selection nominating the committee to try the merits of a petition, complaining of an undue election and return for the borough of Beverley. BODMIN ELECTION. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that he had this day received a letter from the agents to the petitioners, complaining of an undue election and return for the borough of Bodmin, stating that it was not intended to proceed with the said petition. ELECTJON PETITIONS. The members nominated to serve on the following elec tion petitions were called to the table and sworn—the borough of Preston, and Kingston-on-Hull. NEW WRITS, .• On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered for Taunton in the room of Mr. Labouchere, who, since his election, has accepted the office of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds ; also for the borough of Devonport, in the room of Sir Thomas B. Perry who has accepted the office of one of the Council for India. The Chester and Holyhead Railway Bills went'through committee and were read a third time and passed. • LAW OF PROPERTY, &c. BILL. The Law of Property and Trustees Relief Amendment Bill went into committee. After a protracted discussion of a desultory and strictly technical character, in which Mr. Rolt, Mr. Malins, Mr. Walpole, the Solicitor-General, M r . H ea dl am , an d M r . Hadfield took part, clauses 1 to 12 inclusive were agreed to after several verbal amendments. On clause 13 being proposed, Mr. ROLT expressed a hope that the clause would be withdrawn, inasmuch as it would be a question on scintilla furls, which had long been obsolete in the courts of law and equity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the clause, and urged the right hon. gentleman who had charge of the bill (Mr. Walpole) not to abandon it. Mr. MALINS concurred in the views of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Rolt), and contended that the clause was both unnecessary and useless. The clause was however agreed to without a division, as were also clauses 14 to 24 inclusive. On clause 25, _ _ . Mr. MALINS drew attention to the provisions of this clause, which was not one of technical law, but one affect ing every landowner, every creditor, and every debtor in the kingdom. As the law now stood a judgment entered was a charge upon the land ; but this clause sought to en act that a judgment per se should not be a charge on land until a writ of execution was lodged with the Sheriff, and unless this was done the debtor might aleinate his estate if he thought fit, He held that it was better to leave the law as it stands, and therefore he should give the clause his un comprising opposition. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought theclause might be productive of serious mischief, especially in the case of Exchequer proceedings for penalties. The clause would operate with great harshness. Mr. WALPOLE said he would not oppose the omission of the clause, inasmuch as he considered the question of sufficient importance to be discussed in a separate and dis tinct measure. Mr. HADFIELD supported the clause, which he con sidered to be the most valuable enactment of the bill. Mr. MURRAY opposed the clause, which was nega tived without a division. On clause 29 being proposed to stand part of the bill, Mr. HADFIELD moved that it be omitted. Mr. WALPOLE defended the clause, which went to provide for the punishment of vendors, or mortgagees, and their solicitors, who should be guilty of misrepresentation, suppression of deeds, or fraud. Prosecutions, however, could not be hastily instituted, for the olause provided that such proceedings must first receive the approval of the Attorney or Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the clause, and suggested a verbal amendment. Mr. MALINS supported the clause. igr. MURRAY generally supported the clause, but objected to the proviso that prosecutions should be first sanctioned by the Attorney-General, which sanction would be regarded by the public as a proof of the guilt of the accused party. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. WALPOLE asked the committee to agree to this clause as it stood, and he would undertake to amend it in the next stage of the bill. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses of the bill having been agreed to, Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a clause by which trustees should be authorised to invest trust funds on real security, Bank Stock, and India Stock. The clause was agreed to and added to the bill. Mr. HODGKIeSON moved the insertion of a clause to give power to executors or administrators of a mort gagee to convey the real estate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause as at present framed. After a lenghty conversatinon, in which several hon. and learned members participated, the clause was negatived. Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a clause to enable trustees to compound any bad or doubtful debt, or give time for payment, when, in his judgment, it would be for the benefit of the estate to do so. instruction ) he protested against theierection of these build. ings at the extreme west of LontiOn. (Hear.) He wanted to know by whose influence it was Bono? (Hear.) It looked like part of an intrigue ultimately to put all the galleries on the Kensington estate. The h oust , had most distinctly declared that that should not be. and yet they were asked to vote £9,000 for these buildings. lie wanted to know for whose gratification the whole of the inhabitants of London and the visitors to London were to suffer this inconvenience? Ministers disowned it. The Horse of Commons disowned it, and why it was proposed, and to please whom he had never been able to discover. (Ileor.) He made these observations that he might get, if possible, some explanation of this ex traordinary fact, and he.hopcd that Ministers . would tell them what were the electric currents which passed through the Government of the day, and tinder what influence they 1 4boured, whenever these questions were considered. (Hear.) It was a most monstrous and insolent proceeding towards, the house, and he hoped they would reject the vote as a dis tinct declaration that the feelings of the people should be respected, and that her Majesty's Ministers should act in accordance with those feelings, and not in accordance with opinions which they were either afraid or ashamed to re cognise. (Cheers.) . Lord J. MANNERS was quite at a loss to know to what influence the right hon. and learned gentleman alluded, and, as one of the late Government who had discussed these temporary buildings, ho could safely say no influence had animated their opinion on the matter. They were exces sively puzzled where to find a site. The hon. and learned gentleman suggested that the vacant ground at the back of Burlington-house should have been selected, and that 12 months was ample time to erect It permanent building for the Royal Academy. The hon. gentleman must have had very little practical acquaintance with Government build ings if he supposedthat in that short space of time any such building could be completed, and if temporary buildings had been erected there they would have - had to be pulled down before the permanent edifice could be finished. He took especial pains to inquire its to the best sit e , an d as far as his own opinion went, he thought no part so. accessible as Carlton-rise. (Hear, hear.) But there were objections to that and just at the moment, most fortunately as h e thought, an offer was made by the Science and Art Depart ment,_ to allow temporary buildings to be erected at Ken sington, where there was already the valuable collection of pictures of Mr. Sheepshanks. That the national collection of pictures was permanently established in Trafalgar-square was, in his opinion, as settled a point as anything could be in that house. (Hear, hear.) On behalf of every depart ment of the late . Government he broadly and emphatically denied that there was the slightest intention whatever of placing these pictures permanently at Kensington. They were merely to, be placed there as a temporary convenience, and because it was absolutely necessary they should be placed somewhere where they would be safe from fire and injury. (Hear, hear.) Mr. D. SEYMOUR did not see why the buildings could not be erected as easily and economically in the square of Burlington-house as at Kensington-gore. It looked as if there was some underhand influence at work to induce the house to change its resolution and so each item of the public collections was being successively moved to the west end of London, where none but the rich could enjoy them. (Hear, hear.) He deprecated any connection between the Stat e an d societies like the Royal Academy, and expressed his prefer ence for giving money to the Royal Academy instead of a site. Mr. CONINGHAM feared that the magnificent and spacious building which the Royal Academy would possess would injuriously affect the competing societies in Suffolk street and elsewhere. He suggested that the Royal Academy should erect a temporary building, and vacate the National 'Gallery at once. Mr. D. SEYMOUR said it was evident the money had been already spent, and he wished to know out of what fund. Mr. STIRLING thought that, as the Canton-rise plan would only have cost £l,OOO, and this plan would cost £9,000, the objections to the former were nine times less than the objections to the latter. They might hire a house a £l,OOO a year which would hold all• the pictures, and if they wanted it for two years they would save £7,000. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. LOCKE wished to know why these pictures could not be placed in the w i ng o f th e building in Trafalgar square, of which he believed the Royal Academy had pos session only by sufferance. The sum of £lO,OOO ought to be sufficient to erect a permanent, and not m ere ly a tempo rary building. ( Hear.) Sir J. SHELLEY said there was nothing in the vote to show that it was to be a temporary building. Sir M. PETO thought the Government, instead of spend ing £lO,OOO cn such temporary erections, would have done better to have advertised for buildings in which these pic tures could have been exhibited. It might have obtained the rooms of the British bistitution in Suffolk-street, or the Polytechnic.
