M WARBURTON—Indeed lam not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER continued —the Hon. :ile - liner said that all the parties were ready to prove their claims, and he therefore bad the means of knowing the amount, but yet he would not wait until be could ascertain what it was. Was it recant that ties House should vote an address to the Crown, and thzt there shout(' be no given sem named, and that the lieuse could not afterwarJs' be boand in hanour to vote the sum necessary to meet tic claims?—( Hear, hear, hear.) It was admitted by the Hen. Member tlett false claims might be got up, that claims might be fAtieated, if any long flue were given for them to be made, and yet he now came forward with such a sugges tion as tl'at contained in his motion. If the House of Com mons chose to go into these claims, and accede to them, it might but it ‘lo:ild be their act and not his. This case did net apply to Danish claims alone ; there were ether claims, F. each claims, and would it not be just as proper that ey should be opened, and quite as just that a petition 0 10114 he presented to the House with respect to them to morrow? Ho could only, on sitting down, warn the House of the great inconvenience, of the great peril, which the r‘urse su gested wield entail upon them. It was not the ease o 834—the.: there was a d'atiaction drawn and laid town ; but the Hau e was now called upon to give their sanction, not to claims, the amount of which was specified, but to undefined claims on the subject of winch they knew nothing. Oa this ground it was that he felt bound to oppo c this motion, and he had again to express to the House his regret for the imperfect manner in which he had stated the case, but he repeated that he felt it be his duty not to con sent to an undefined liability being admitted.—( Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL said that the facts of the Cilal were clear enough. There had been three kinds of property con fiscated, namely, book debts, woods on shore, and goods afloat ; in the opinion of the Law-officers of the Crown the seizure of the two fir-A.:lamed species of property was in violation of the law of nations, while those which were afloat did not comic pi:thin the same degcriptien. The re were thus two classes of propelY, for one of which the Right lion. Gentleman the ChancelLar of the Exchequer admitted the parties should be indemnified by the Government. The sum which was seized by England w-,s r.ot paid over to the parties whose goods had been taken by Der: nark, and who were entitled to the protec tion of the - British n ation, in order to obtain redress. So the parties stood until It3f, when their claims were first re cognised. Some of them were a.almitted, and how were the others forfeited? By some delay oily, erhich was brought forward against those who urged them. Thal the British • nation, from 18)7 to 1834, improperly resis:tal the claims ; they were postponed by the default of the Governmt2 t and was it not a very small objection, to say the least of it, now to turn round and say, " We, who represent the Bri tish Government, have been guilty of a laches in not at tending to your claims until 1834 ; but you bare also been guilty of a laches in not bringing it forward until now, and therefore you have lost your remedy."—( Hear.) The notice was first confined to the book debts ; it was a no tice that the parties might come in, and if they could prove their claims within three months, that they might obtain com pensation. Now, was it likely that the claimants would incur the expense of sending messengers to Denmark, and exert themselves in other ways to establish their claims at a consi derable cost, under circumstances which made their success a mere speculation ? No man in his senses would do so. And what was the consequence ?' They were turned round on and told that though they had a right, still, because it had slept for twenty-four years, no other delay having occurred than that for which they were not accountable, they should be ex cluded for ever from establishing their rights. Was that the way in which a British House of Commons would deal with the claimants ? Some said that the amount claimed was great, others that it was small. If it was great, he was terrified by the amount of the injustice they were inflicting. That was just the relson why the claim ought to be allowed. A country like this should shrink from permitting a great injustice to be suffered by its subjects. Economy was a good thing, but jus tice was better. It was well to see the public purse taken care of, but not at the expense of the just claims of individuals. He would say that no case bud been made out for refusing to allow these people to come before the Commissioners and prove their claims. Mr. MACLE AN felt that if he refused the claims of these parties, he should be doing an act of injustice. What was the matter of fact ? There were certain individuals proving - that, by no act of their own, having sustained a severe loss, they had been excluded by a Treasury minute from the bene fit intended to be conferred on them by a solemn resolution of the House of Commons ; for he did not find that it was the intention of the House that the benefit or boon should be con ferred on those claimants alone who had lost their book-debts, but that it should be extended to goods that were confiscated on shore. What was the course taken by the Treasury ? They gave notice that proof as to the book-debts alone should be received fur the space of three months. Subsequently the notice was extended to cases of loss of goods on shore but the time given was three months oily, which rendered it impossible in many cases that the proof could be obtained in time. Suppose any of the parties had gone to the East or West Indies, and he knew of such cases.—(Hear.) It would have taken a month or five weeks to carry the no tice that the Treasury had conceded so far as to admit the proofs, and it would have taken five or six weeks to return with the proofs. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer warned them, that if they em barked in that inquiry without knowing the amount which might be claimed, they might be launching on a sca of troubles,-which they would find it exceedingly difficult to get well over. He would ask, what was the amount compared with the justice of the case ? Whatever the amount they were pledged by the vote of 1824 that the mone y should be paid. Lord Althorp then eaid, " He hegged to state that nicasures s'lould be Caked to pay such of the claims as might be found to be just." That engagement wee not confined to book debts. The Noble Lord began, as did the right Hon. Gentleman op posite, by •sarnirzr the House ; but in this case, ha said, he felt it to be impossible to resist the justice of the claims. Ile said his principle was, that if a subject of Her Majesty was in jured by an act dcne by a foreign power, contrary to the law of nations, it was the duty of the Government, by war or by tic gociation, to obtain redress ; but if not, at least to indemnify the party. Did these individuals ask that taxes should be im posed to indemnify them ? Certainly not. In this case 1.200,000/. had been confiscated for the very purpose of their in'lemnification That sum became droits of the Admiralty, it was true ; but these claimants had a lien on it. Out of the 1,200,0001. received by this county to satisfy these claims, not more than 200,0001. had been paid. He was as anxious as the right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the pub lic interests should be protected, but he thought they were never better protected than by acceding to the claims of British subjccts for justice. Mr. BAINES inferred, from the tone in which the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer had spoken, that he did mean seriously to oppose these claims. If in the year 7834 it was right that these claims should be granted, the cleimants ought not to be satisfied now with the mere payment of their debts, inasmuch as the amount of their debts would be doubled if they received common interest on them for the period the payment had been delayed, viz., thirty years. Stu ely, then, these parties were entitled to great indulgence. To allow only three mouths to collect proofs of claims wide!' had slept for so long a period was not, in his opinion, a suffi cient time. He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not put the House to the necessity of dividing on this motion ; but that with the generosity of disposition which belonged to hint_( A laugh)—he would acquiesce in it. Mr. WILBE RFORCE said it was not his intention to occupy much of the time of she House, but he trusted that as a new Member some indulgence would be extended to him when lie stated that he rose on the present occasion at the earneA request of his constituent'', who begged the house to give effect to the declarations which had be.n made by Lord Althorp, in his place as Chancellor of the Exchequer, when speaking of the justice of these claims, If it were long since th:s debt was iaeurfed, the greater the injustce of further deferrieg it. If the amount claimed was large, the greater was the tight which he appeared to advocate. The question ,yes one of principle, and the l,riihcille had been settled, and he did nut think that the House would yield to the argument of the Right Honourable the Chan cellor of the Exchequer \r lien he stated that they might find the amount mn: e than they expected, and that the claimants migl:t be glad to cerrpound—to compound with the failing credit of a country like this, and to have tal,el originally the 200,000/., abandoning all further demand. If he understood rightly, no less than 1,100,000/, derived from the confiscation of Dansh property, had gone to swell fly droits of the Admiralty, and why a portion of this sues should not be made available for the liquidation of the jus' claims of the pa:ties now before the flou-,e he could not un derstand. He could not see the eLseinction Letwcen goods seized in the I.orts and goods seized on land. In conclusion he earnestly entreated the House to tender the claimants justice. Mr. WARBURTON. replied. He said that the sum which the clzimants had received did not amount to more than 3s. in the pound of the sum that had been paid into the public treasury. The Right Hun. the Chancellor of the Exchequer asked, would they now let the claimants in after a year bad elcsed, t!u only three months were allowed : but the answer to tl.i was, that at the end of the three months the door was cicsed. An the parties asked, was a single week to prove their case ? He understood that the whole of the evidence was herr. As regarded the amount, Lord Althorp did not !reek to limit it; he stated that he would grant all that was j'l3'. What he required of the House was, that they would do in this case what they did in the case of the admission of thQ book debts. `no CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, no one Liiividual of the House having sustained him in the effort he had made to lesist these claim; (and a very painful and disagreeable duty he could assure the House he had found it) llear)—he felt that he had no alternative but to propose to the Hon. Gentleman that he should leave the matter in his hands, and he would bring the question before the House after the eases had been investigated. Ile took the liberty of saying, however, that this must be considered as the proposition of the H o use, and not as his.—( Hear, hear.) He objected to it on principle, and if he thought he was likely to be supported-in his opposition to it, he would resist it still; but the de bate having been proceeded with exclusively on the part of the claimants, no one individual, on either side of the House,this being a matter in which party , considerations ail net enter, having supported him in the view he had taken, he felt that he should be conforming to what appeared to be the desire of the House in directing an examination to be instituted, and in engaging to bring the subject hereafter under the considera tion of the House. He must again express his hope that the House would not throw on him any of the responsibility of pursuing this course. Mr. WARBURTON said, as in the case of Mr. Palmer's motion the matter was left in the hands of Lord Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, so he now committed the case - to the hands of his Right Hon. Friend.—Motion agreed to. Election petitions were present,d from Bury St: Edmund's and Pomfret. Mr. E. J. STANLEY obtained leave to bring in a Bid to enable the Commissioneis of her Nlajsty's Woods and Forests to purchase ground and tenements requir,d to coniplcte the site for the new Houses of Parliament. On the motion of Mr. HUME, a r; turn was ordered of the i.an.cs and dates of the appointments of the several architects now employed by the Curnmissioneri f:f . Woods and Fort s:s, or by any other department of the Government, to prepare ! dans, and to superintend the erection or repairs of public buildings ; stating the amount of salary, if any, which each receive: for that duty, and the rate per cent. allowed on the expenditure as commission for said duties; stwing also the regulations under which the public weeks are conducted b- the Government architects in England. Also, a return of the amounts paid to each Government architect for salary, for plans, and for superintending the works, and what works, stating the rate per cent. allowed, and the amount of the gross expen!!iture for each work, in each year since 1320, in Erg land Similar returns for Scotland and for Iret.and. _ The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjeurned at Twelve o'Clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Unless the Ministerial policy for the Session e whsn its pro gramme be laid before the country, prove far more liberal than premonieiry indications have hitherto given us reason to expect, we fear that the exulting anticipation of the Tories the sealing of the doom of the Ministry"—is not fsr, in the opin'on of many of its friends, from its accomplishment. In corroboration of this apprehension, to which it pains us to give expression, we refer to the sentiments put forward last night at the meeting convened at the Crown and Anchor for the purpose of taking into consideration the declaration, we must say the moat injudicious declaration of Lord John Russell against the three great measures upon which, above all others, the mind of the country is immovably fixed—an extension of Suffrage, the Ballot, and short Perlian •nts. The opinions promulgated at this meeting were aided by the eloquence of the nose powerful orators which the country could furnish in or out of the House of Commons; but great as was the effect produced by the language and manner in which these opinions received utte rance, it is nothing when compared with the sensation which their intrinsic truth must produce throughout the country—it is the sympathetic response which these truths will elicit from the people that will clothe them with the irresistible fiat of a na tion's will, It would be superfluous to expatiate on the sen timents expressed at the meeting, and therefore we merely re, fer to the proceedings, an account of which will be foiled in enother part of our paper, and leave our readers t draw their ovine uebisssed conclusions. If ever at anv'time more than another it were necessary to glee free utterance to political opinion, to state unacceptable, but wholeisome teethe, In a plain, uu, varnished guise—it is at the present moment. The decla ration of Lord J. Russell has shaken the confidence of the peo ple in the quarter where they!previously bestowed it with most im plicit reliance. The people in the revulsion of feeling consequent upon this denial of justice to them, are disposed to regard even the most popular of their leaders with suspicion. The union of the different grades of Reformers is breaking up—the leading Liberals regard each other, and the people regard all, with suspicion ; while the Tories chukle over en injudicious policy and discipline, arid consolidate their forces by the expecta tion of attaining the opportunity of official patronage. Thus, since the passing of the Reform Act the Tories have been gaining an accession of strength, while the Reformers have been co-equally losing their superiority. Since the accession of the present Cabinet the legitimate influence of the Libe rals has undergone a progressive decline. Their majority in the House of Commons has suffered daily diminution, land is now at a minimum. Is it not then high time to inquire into the causes which have led to such reverses to the principle of Reform ? To Ministers especially ought this inquiry con vey an instructive lesson, the ratio of their power having always been in direct proportion with the extent of their acquiescence with the popular claims. When the Grey Government carried the Reform Act it was irresistible ; but when it evinced a tendency to desert the cause of the peo ple, it fell with the momentum of doubting, timid, and despi cable policy. Experience teaches in vain, if a lesson like this be disregarded. With the people, the Ministry arc compara tively omnipotent ; against them they are nothing. The pre sent Ministry have still the opportunity of being as powerful es was that of Lord Grey on the passing of the Reform Act ; but the only mode of becoming so is by ab unequivocal and decided demonstration in behalf of those principles upon which the people have hitherto supported them. Intense, therefore, is the interest with which we look to the formal ex position of their policy during this and the next two days. That they will furnish a full and ample opportunity to their liberal friends to fall back from the position which they have assumed, is the least that can be expected from them. They have committed a great error through one of their main organs, but the error is not irretrievable. There is still a host of strength for them if they will only con sult the wishes of the people. The squirearchy must not be placed in opposition to the commercial classes of the country —the Ballot must be made .an open question—the Irish Municipal Bill must be upheld in all its integrity—the Irish Church Bill must be, as it has been, a staple com modity—the deficiency of accommodation for the adhe rents of the Established Church in Seotland must have a fair allowance of money for repairing it—and all the measures announced by Lord John Russell for improv ing the fair and free representation of the country—be carried, if they possibly can be carried. With these mea sures, end a fair sifting of the Pension List—a thing re specting which there is more noise than benefit—the Ministry will secure to itself a more ample support than any Covert:- ment ehich i; as hitherto exis:ed tender circumstances cf sina ler difficulty. On the ether hand, should it attempt to shirk these measures in any shape, their case is one which they will only have to deplore— once. The Tories will have no mercy upon them, and what have they expect from the Radicals, after the denunciation of their favourite measures, but the most heartless and unwilling support ?—Morning Atlver. tiser. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 4 HUNT AND OTHERS V. MOORE. The plaintiffs carrit , cl on an extensive business as cardmalters in London, and the defendant had been one of the lirm of Tullow, Moore, and Co., Auctioneers, in Calcutta. The ac tion was brought for money had and received to the plaintiff's use, nod the defendant pleaded non assumpsit, except as to a sum of 159/. Os. 5d , and that for that amount he had given a bill of exchange. The plaintiffs bad for a series of years been in the practice of consigning goods to the defendant, fer the purpose of having them sold by auction at Calcutta, and in the course of their dealings became considerably indebted to the plaintiffs, who consented to a composition of 10,4. in the pound, except as regarded the sum of 159/. OF. sd. ; and for that sum a bill of ex change, dated November 22, 1832, drawn by Messrs. Alexander and Co., barkers and agents, of Calcutta, on Messrs. Fletcher, Alexander, and Co., in London, was re mitted to them. Shortly after that date, in December, 1832, the bankers failed ; and in 1836 Mr. Moore, having dissolved partnership, came to London. Against him, accordingly, the present action was brought ; and the question was, whether the auctioneers were bound to make good the money—without receiving a commission of 21 per cent, upon the gurrantee of the bill—independently of the 8 per cent. commission on the sale.—'l he Jury found a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH-STREET. NAPOLEON'S ORDERLY DRAGOON.—Among the charges brought before the Magistrates at this office yesterday wai Frederick Allinson, for causing a disturbance, and assaulting a policeman. From the statement of the prisoner, and wlich was corro borated by documents in his possession, it appeared that he hal served for many years in the 21st Ught DragooLs„ and had been selected and appointed orderly dragoon to attend on the Emperor Napoleon on his being sent out to St. Helena, and which appointment he held up to the d, ath of that distin guished warrior. He occupied a small cottage adjoining Longwood House, and had frequent opportunities of seeing and conversing, with %poieori, -- and became intimately ac quainted with his habi!s. He states he was the person through whom Buonaparte had been ma:le acquainted with the escape of Lavalette, on which ocession he a,peared overjoyed ; and also with the death of Marshal /sky, upon which latter occa sion lie says the Emperor wept like a child. Allinson, since his discharge from St. Helena, has served with some distinc tion both in Portugal and Spain, and is but a short time re turned from the latter place. It seemed that on Saturday last he received his pension, and bdtsg a good-natured fellow, a number of females, who lived close to his residence, waited on him to be treated with gin. He spent upwards of six shillings cn them for that at tide; but this not satisfying them lie got out of temper, and a policeman coming up at the Instant, the assault complained of took place. He was discharged on putting 103. into the p:or-box. OFFICE FOR SCIENTIFIC MODELS, PLANS, SECTIONS, Sal , LIKELY TO COME DEFOE!: PARLIAMENT.—There Las never yet been a common centre where plans and models might be seen and examined before each is deposited in the Private Bill Office, to be brought formally before Parlianaeut. This has been felt to be a serious inconvenience. Improve ments which might be made in the first instance, and alterations to meet the views of the Members who take charge of the several matters in the Houses of the Legislature, (both of which have afterwards to be effected often at an (normous coat of monoy and time), have been pievented from the avant of a common centre. In order to supply this desideratum, Mr. Northhouse, Parliamentary Agent, at the rc quest of several scientific men, has permitted a room in his offices in Parlia ment-street to be devoted to the purpose of exhibiting pl,.ns, sections, models, &c., connected with public improvements, likely to came before Parliament.—Civil Engineer. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a young man named Sims was amusing himself on the roof of the house of Mr. Hammond, at tho corner of Rathbone-place and Newman _passage, with some pigeons, when suddenly he overbalanced himself and fell upon the pavement. On being picked up he was quite insensible and bleeding profusely. The unEQrtunate man was placed on a shutter and conveyed to the Middlesex iiospital, and about an hour artewards he expired. Last night, about ten o'clock, the body of the son of Mr. Hopkinson, coach-builder, Holborn, who threw himself oil' Waterloo-bridge on the morning. f the ipth ult., was foond drifted athwart the chain of a sand-barge, close to wilero lip went down, and now waits the Coroner's inluest in the bone house of St. John's Church, Waterloo-foul Gambling houses will cease to be licensed by the French Government. on the 31st inst., by which the revenue will lose upwards of 6,000,000 f. per annum, I'RICJS OF FOltEl:iN FUNDS • A , Ylr:an Pson.ty .

S2t, 1 rigAT:tk- j i ng LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1837. In the Houss of LORDS yesterday the Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Commission of the Peace Bill. Lord Bsouuthist then presented a petion, the prayer of which he supported, for the more effectually carrying into execution the Negro Emancipation Act of 1833. In the Houss of COMMONS the Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar, and presented from the Common CO unc il o f t h e City of London, three petitions :-1. In favour of a uniform rate of postage, &c. 2. For the repeal of the opp ress i ve an d impolitic duties on fire, life, and marine insura n c es; an d 3. In favour of the Municipal Officers' Declaration Bill. Several Election Petitions were also presented. A short canversation followed on the subject of a free view of public buildings. Mr. BAINES having moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Municipal Officers' Declaration Bill, Mr. G ROTE moved that it be an instruction to the Committee to make provision to oxtend the Bill to " all classes" of her Majesty's subjects. The object of the motion was to include the Jews. After some discussion Mr. GROTE'S motion was negatived by a majority of 16. The Bill then went through Committee. The Custody of Insane Persons Bill also went through Can mittee. Sir E. SUGDEN'S motion for the sus,ension of the recently passed Act amending the Law relating to Wills, was negatived without a division. The Danish Claims' question, which has so often been be fore the House, was again raised. For the report of the dis cus3ion which took place last night, we refer to the debate itself. _ . _ Mr. E. J. STANLEY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to purchase ground and tenements required to complete the site for the new Houses of Parliament. Sir WILLIAM Ras brought in a Bill for the more effectual recovery of small debts in the Justice of Peaco Courts, Scot land, which was read a first time. The tious:; adjourned et Twelve o'Clock. We direct the attention of our readers to important news from Lower Canada, and the United States, which will be found in the first page of The Sun of this dad•. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave no tice last evening that on Thursdaj next he will move for a Select Committee to inquire into the Pension List. It is understood that Sir ROBERT PEEL will oppose the motion, so that every Liberal ought to be at his post. The division will be of more importance than Members are now aware of. The great Reform Meeting which took place yes terday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, is a sign of t:.e times as momentous as any that has been developed for years past. For this meeting, and the excitement it will occasion throughout the country, Lord JOHN RUSSELL may thank himself. He has been the prime .mover—the arch-agitator in this business. He it is that has set us all on the alert ; dispelled the blind confidence in which we had so long indulged ; and taught us to feel that if we desire to improve our con dition, we must set about the task ourselves. When by his declaration against Reform, the Duke of WEL LINGTON set all England in motion ; when by his in sulting taunt " alien," Lord LYNDHURST put Ireland into the same state of combustion, they only acted as the Ministerial Leader in the House of Commons has just now acted. The spirit that actuated all three is precisely the same--namely, a rooted instinctive dis like to concede any other Reform measures than may ;.uit the interests of party. Yet we are toll, forsooth, that we must acquiesce in the justice of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S declara rations, and continue our confidence in him just as if nothing had occurred to shake it ; because if we do not so restrain our feelings, and subdue our natural sense of indignation, his Lordship and his colleagues must walk out, and Sir ROBERT PEEL and the To ries walk in ! This, no doubt, is a most embarra s sing position for Reformers to be placed in, and one that should be guarded against ; but it should not be al lowed to influence us too far ; or the result will be, to put a stop to all our exertions, and crush our sense of independence. We must not act upon the conviction that every chance for freedom, every hope of Reform, every prospect of obtaining justice for Ireland, depends on Lord Jolts It ussELL's continuance in office. What, is he our only statesman ? Is he our only safeguard ? Must the Constitution perish with him ? Not so ; were his Lordship to quit place to-morrow, we should have no need to strew sack cloth and ashes on our heads. We arc therefore in favour of an open, manly declaration of opinion. We are 'for the people speaking their minds to Minis ters, careless whether their bluff frankness give offence or not. We are for the prompt and energetic discus sion and agitation of those very questions which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has explicitly told us, shall never, with his good will, be conceded. In a word, we are for coining at once to issue with him on these points, and trying whose i.dluence is tte strongest—his, or ours. Is it to be endured that Reform is only to be carried so far as it may suit the purposes of the Whig play, and then to be checked, the instant that it militates against their interest ? We, at least, do not so under stand Reform. In our view of the case, it is a principle of progression, which no Ministry, be it Whig or Tory, has a right to bid halt. We are the more earnest on this point, because we firmly believe, with Lord BttouGHAM, who, i n hi s a dmirable letter read yesterday at th e meeting, o b serv es, " at no time within my recollecti on have the friends of Reform and improvement had more ground for anxiety respecting the prospects of their cause." Such being the case—and who shall gainsay it is m ore th an ever incumbent on us , th at oncomthee meaning aninrgight of u ! t i l t rs word tandi n with e Ministers . weshould form," Whether it implies something final, or something rogreesiee 1 wh e ther it is to be par tial or general hi its op era ti o ns ; whether it i§ to be prompt or dilatory; whether, in short, it is to be a :shadow or a substance. At present, we are in doubt All all these matters.; . the sooner, therefore, these doubt. axe plypeti op t the better : even though the consevenpe of a iliptoßgh qnc4ef4prling, Ike the p s: tirement of the present. Ministerp-,cerics, an affliehrig calamity, but not wholly without remedy ;. for, all things considered, there is more hope from a repentant Tory than an . incorrigible Whig. The speeches of Mess►s. lioEBUCK and O'CoN NE I, L, were each, in its way. admirable. Both spoke out piainly on the subject of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S declaration, and shoved it no mercy. The latter Gentleman observed, " before the Reform Bill, there was direct nomination; that was bad enough ; hut what have we now ? It is true we have not direct nomination, but we have worse ; we have bribery and corruption. The nli►,istry who supported the Reform Bill, are now supportin g a sys tem of fraud, bribery, and corruption—they are there fore supporting immorality." This is the literal fact. The very men who carried Reform for the purpose of putting an end to the iniquitous practices of borough . mongering, are the very same who are now sanc tioning,- an equal nuisance—that of the most fla grant bribery and intimidation at elections— by withholding the protection of the Ballot. And yet these men presume to call themselves con sistent I After preaching up the doctrine of finality, and bluntly telling us that we have got nearly as much Reform as we ought to have, they insist on it that they are the political regenerators of the age. They place every sterling Liberal in a false position, and then dare him to escape from his d►lemma, knowing well that he can only do so, by taking up with a Tory Government. But this constant playing on our appre hensions will not long serve the turn of Ministers. Already it is fast losing its effect, as is evident from the tenor of the speeches made at yesterday's meeting, which we doubt not will be soon echoed far and wide throughout the country. The Bill for relieving the Quakers and Moravians from the necessity of making the declaration required by the Municipal Act before admission to Corpora tion offices, passed through Committee last night in the House of Commons. Both these religious sects have conscientious scruples respecting the taking of oaths, and as they view the declaration in question as partaking of the nature of an oath, they are practically excluded by it from holding office in Muni cipal Corporations. 'We believe there are few, if any, persons now alive who think that either the Christian religion, or the civil constitution of this country, would be endangered by a Quaker or a Mora vian, any more than a Presbyterian, an Inde pendent, or a Baptist, becoming Mayor of a Corporate town, and therefore there ►s little doubt that the relief sought will be obtained. That, we under stand, is confidently anticipated by the advocates of the measu►c. There, however, arose a debate on an amendment moved by Mr. GROTE, which is not without im portance. Mr. GROTE, always ready to stand up for the extension' of civil and religious liberty, pro posed that the measure should be enlarged so as to comprehend the Jews, who of course cannot " de clare" an) thing " on the faith of a Christian" with out a professed abandonment of Judaism. The mo ment this amendment was proposed, there was an alarm among the Saints. Sir ROBERT INGLIs's hair began to bristle up, and that " sage, grave man," Mr. HENRY KEMBLE, fell into a cold perspiration that lowered the temperature of the House at least twenty degrees. As soon as this. par nobile could find utterance they deprecated in the strongest linguage they could find the adoption of an amendment pregnant with ruin to Church and State—an amend ment, exclaimed Mr.KEMBLE, with a rueful elongation of countenance that attracted general commiseration— an amendment that would admit not only men of all religions, but of no religion at all, into the sanctum sanctorum of the British Constitution I The latter class of persons are doubtless very scrupulous about taking a declaration on the faith of a Christian The discussion called forth several excellent speeches from the Ministerial side of the House, for which we refer our readers to the debate. The result was, that Mr. GROTE'S amendment was lost; and although we should rejoice exceedingly to see the Jews placed on a footing of perfect equality with their fellow-citizens, we cannot regret that result. It is quite clear to us that the introduction of time amendment into the Bill would have ensured its rejection in the House of Lords, and thus the Jews would have been in no better state than they are, whilst the Quakers, Moravians, and others -L—for the Bill was enlarged so as to comprehend all Se paratists—would have been deprived of a positive benefit. This Bill will pass, and the 'consequence will be that the Jews, being the only religious sect stig►natised by an exclusive brand, will have their claim strengthened by the concentration of that sympathy which is now divided among various sects. This may be called hit-by-bit Reform ; but the main point in all Reform is to gain the object aimed at, and that is the wisest course which does this the soonest. We gave the Bishops more credit for attention to business than they deserved, when we stated that but few of them heard Lord BROUGHAM' speech to the end, on Friday. It appears that being satisfied with th e Bishop of LONDON ' S reply to the anticipated plan of the Noble Lord, they did not consider it necessary to hear the details, but dropped off one by one, and left their duties to he performed by one, who, if sincerity, piety, and regular attendance in the House on the dis cussion of religious questions were requisite qualities for the holy.office, has better claims to the title of Bishop than any on the Episcopal Bench—we mean the Earl of WINCH ILSEA. To say the least, s u c h conduct shows great apathy i n a • cause which involves the moral and religious interests of the community, and for the promotion of which they receive about a quarter of a million a-year. The strongest argument for allowing them seats in the Le gislature is founded on their claims to superior know ledge in every thing connected with learning and reli gion, and the assistance they may render lay Peers when such subjects are brought before Parliament. How little they have done for education, the acknow ledged ignorance of the great body of the common people proves—what they propose to do, or permit to Ise done, to. remedy the defect, the language of the Bishop of LON DON sufficiently demonstrates ; and these, taken together, lead every attentive observer to draw the melancholy contrast between their backwardness on this important subject, and the alacrity with which they took up the subject of Church -rates, when, after a con ference at Lambeth Palace, fifteen of them conic down in a body to denounce a plan which might allay ani mosity between the two great religious portions of the community. To the temporal interests of the Church they are ever alive ; they watch every discussion on them with the most scrupulous attention and vigilance, and seem determined that not a lay ,finger shall touch th e m without their consent : but to the more weighty matter of education or morality (for the terms are syno• nyinous) they show the most placid apathy. The question has been taken up in the Commons, however, with proper spirit ; and we have no fear that the per severance of the people and their Representatives will yet teach the Bench of Bishops their duty. Mr. WARBURTON'S motion in favour of the Danish claimants of the second class—those British subjects whose goods were seized on shore by the Danish Government after the bombarding of Co penhagen by the English fleet in ISo7—was agreed to without a division by the House of Commons last night. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, but to the credit of his colleagues and the honour of the House, the Right Honourable Gentleman found himself unsupported by a single voice. He attempted by sophisms, as futile as they were unworthy of the understanding of the assembly to which they were addressed, to frighten the House into a negation of the claims of the sufferers. He urged that false claims might be set up and sustained— that before giving any pledge to pay those justly substantiated, the whole gross amount should be stated—that if Danish claims of this class were admitted, the next thing we should hear of would be French claims—that the claimants would be very were the House to trouble itself less about their tp accept a lIPT eerltago on their lossesand th a t, in a word, these claims having been neglected for thirty years, a precedent was established for ne glecting them till Doomsday. We are happy . to be able to state that such arguments as these found rto s upporters in a British House of Commons. Gentlemeu of every shade of opinion, r epudiated the principle of denying just debts because false claims might possibly be set up ; denounced the immorality of a conditional recognizance of such just debts; and generously maintained that if the abeyance of the claims for thirty years was to be taken into considera tion, it ought to be with a view to grant the sufferers a rate of interest upon the sums which may hereafter be proved due to them. But while we give the House of Commons full credit for the integ rity that dictated a reprobation of the policy of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the Govern ment for the last thirty years, we cannot refrain from expressing our supprise that no reference was made to the third class of claimants. .Originally there were three classes :—the owners of book debts—of goods on shore—and of goods afloat. The two first have now , had their claims allowed ; but no Mem ber, during the debate last night, made any allusion to the case of those British subjects whose goods had been seized afloat by order of the Danish Government. Where was Mr. CLAY that his voice was not heard on this occasion ? He, if we mistake not, is in possession of documents placed in his hands by the representatives of this third class of suf ferers, to whom he is bound to endeavour to see jus tice done by the Treasury. Liberally interpreted, the wording of Mr. WARBultToN's motion will include Danish claimants of every class ; but after the argu ments employed by the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, we are not inclined to trust anything to tacit understandings between the Right Honourable Gentleman and any class of British subjects, stand:ng in such a relation to the Government as do the ag grieved in this case. Perhaps we may be mis taken. The Government may probably see that it is use less to attempt settling the question by further in stalments of justice, and that the best, as well as the most creditable, way will be to accede - now all that can be justly demanded. We shall be happy to learn ' that Ministers, instead of by trickery thwarting the claims of tire Danislif sufferers, after the example of so many of their predecessors in office, will come forward and afford them every opportunity of show ing the extent of their respective losses. It is a gross libel on England to suppose her too poor to be just. A small pamphlet, entitled, a " A Second Letter to Lord JOHN R tissEL r., showing the utter inadequacy of Mr. CHARLES BULLER'S B►ll," published by RIDGWAY, has been sent to us. After perusing it, we cannot help being of opinion that the writer has satisfactorily proved that Mr. BULLER'S measure, should it pass the Legislature in its present shape, will, instead of laying the axe to the root of the evil, be little better than a palliative of no great efficacy. The first point of attack presented to the author is the .preamble . of the Hon. Member's Bill, in which it is stated that " great benefit has been found to arise from the present law," which statement is held to be a little out of place, as well as at variance with the expressed opinions of the framer. The writer then proceeds to the consideration of the clauses, and assails in a very spirited and able manner some of the principal provisions of the Bill. The evils of the present system, which it is the professed object of Mr. BULLER'S Bill to remedy, are those which arise from the party feelings of the present tribunal, and from the conflicting decisions of the Revising Barristers. The first of these evils it is proposed to remedy ; Ist. By reducing the number of the Election Committee from eleven to five. 2d. By changing the present mode of reducing the lists to that of challenging the names as they are called. 3d. By the appointment of Assessors to preside over Committees. The writer of the letter contends that neither of the above-mentioned remedies can possibly have the effect of cming the evil complained of ; namely, the feeling of partizanship in the Members of the Committee ; and that some of them will have a directly contrary tendency. He holds that these would be no greater responsibility in a Committee of five than in one of eleven, and that the interest would be immeasurably increased in the smaller number. The second branch of the subjecttliat which re lates to the remedy for the evils arising from the con tradictory decisions of Revising Barristers, is dispatched in a very summary manner. The author condemns in Coto the Revising Tribunal as one whose decisions have rendered it utter') contemptible in the eyes of all thinking men, and hateful to the people at large. He concludes his letter with the follchving smartflisilade : Why should the public pay for the education of these Revising Barristers ? Why should the time of the Assessors be employed in licking into shape their monstrous and contra dictory decisions? 1 can discover one reason, and one reason alone, viz., that as the Assessors will have little or nothing to do, except the Session after a general election, the Hon. and Learned Member, who is an economist, and who assigns the handsome salary of 2,000 L per annum, would employ their lei sure time in drilling the awkward squad. Pretty specimen of the Hon. Member's reforming and economical talent : first mak ing the country pay 30,0001. per annum to incompetent judges, and then to pay 6,0001. per annum to three judges to teach them their business ! But is this the proper mode of grap pling with the question ? Certainly not : but it is of the same class as hi; other remedies ; not applying his mind with a de termination to uproot the existing evil, but merely to palliate it—to render it less obnoxious in appearance, but just as offen sive in reality. What rev'ision of the Assessors would atone for the manner of these young judges? At one place the Bar rister told some individuals that he would strike out their votes (although they were unobjectcd to) unle,;s they with drew a protest they ha I tendered upon another case. It may be said this was an idle threat—but Englishmen do not like and should not be subjected to such threats from the judg ment-scat." Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 26th ult. reached us this morning. The validity of the votes given during the last ten days of the elections for Madrid was discussed in the Senate on the 23d, and in the Chamber of Deputies on the 25th. The Peers, almost without a word of discussion, voted by a majority of eleven, that the votes were not valid; and the same decision was come to by the Deputies, but after a long debate, and by only a majority of seven. According to these accounts a change of Mi nisters may be hourly expected. The Marquis D'ESPEJA, whose political portrait is so well drawn in the article which we have quoted from the Courtier Francais in our leading comments upon the contents of the French Journals, has really received the appointment of Ambassador to the Court of France. On the 23d, the Deputies from Es tremadura called the attention of the War Minister to the wretched state of that Province. Whereupon he stated that he had applied to Portugal for a re inforcement of troops to guard the frontier ; and that the forces then in the neighbourhood of the capital were preparing to march to the districts infested by the rebels. This explanation of the intentions of the Go vernment was received with shouts of derision by the Provincial Deputies, who observed that it would only tend to increase the despair already prevailing in such districts, as it would convince them that the Govern ment hail no resources adequate to their timely relief. The badness of the weather in the North Of Spain is said to prevent ESPARTERO from undertaking any expedition more terrible to the Carlists than his re cent doings at Pampeluna. He had, however, much better bestir himself, lest the attention of his troops should be too exclusively directed to circumstances con nected with the military minder of the Christino " Buckler of Navarre"—the brave and chivalrous Colonel DON LEON IRIARTE. The Paris Papers of Sunday, received this morn ing, contain no political intelligence of interest. Mar shal VALLEE has, at last, consented to retain pro tempore the Chief Governorship of French Africa. This will relieve Ministers from the pressing difficulty of providing a suitable successor for the Marshal before the meeting of the Chambers. NOURRI EFFENDI, Turkish Ambassador at the Court of France, returned to Constantinople on Friday, leaving TA LAT F. EFENDI to officiate in his absence as Charge d'Affaires. multaneously with the departure of NOURRI EFFENDI, SARUM BEY left Paris for London, as Ambassador from the Sublime Porte to the Court of St. J ames ' s . There is no other news of any general interest in the Paris Journals. The following article from the Courrier Francais, on the prevailing a s p ec t o f a ff a i rs in Spain, i s well worthy of attention. The ,Journal f rom which it is taken has always supported the Libe ral cause in the Peninsula ; but its supp or t was never that of the blind and slavish echo of the voice of faction : Le Temps announces to-day, in an almost official manner. that Count de Carnpuzano, the Spanish Minister in Paris, has been recalled, and that 'lli° Marquis of Espeja, will replaq: him in' this mission. All we know is, that the Spanish Ministry has not notified the change in question to the . person who should be th e fi rst i n f orme d o f i t.
