A:pg.- - , ~. el'iniour LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1852. We inveighed yesterday against the rashness of al lowing any mistaken economy in the Naval Estimates to degenerate into niggardliness. Such has all along been to us matter f, , r very serious solicitude in the 1 3:Ilia of our unaffected anxiety to witness a rea sonable diiniontion in the amount of our annual expenditure. We have dreaded lest the more en thusiastic advocates of this decrease should, through what We could not but regard as a very dangerous exert themselves to bring about reductions, in reference to the maritime service of England, such as must necessarily prove, in the end, most disastrous, if it were not ultimately found to be absolutely irre trievable. Instead of enervating the defensive power of the empire in this particular, we would see it, on the contrary, thorou g bi_ . y . re -organized, and very con siderablyre-invigorate4 So far from consenting to witness without protest any • such ill -Judged and perilous ret renchment, we hav e been long in readi regard to th e • ness to evince , in toaaegement of the f Great Britain, a Royal Navy 0 preference even to a munificence of ex p enditure that might designated by designated avagant. Rather than by some as eX. I see the force existence, ve ry as a upon which our 13 insular power, is mainly dependents we should b e t h o ugh we are—to cowwillin g _ advocates of economy ensnce a disbursement of an almost prodigal description. :consequently with regret that we observe the argument of this very mistaken system o f retrenchment plit forward not only in the House of Commons, b ut s ubsequently in the columns of a morning Contem porary, by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Tavistock. It would appear that Mr. TRELAWNY is desirous that no misapprehension whatever should be entertained ai to what he really observed in the popu lar branch of the Legislature, insomuch that he appeals to the Times to repeat yet more explicitly what might not be sufficiently comprehensible in the pages of Hansard —be invokes the aid of Journal ism to render yet more clear the records made by the short-hand writers of Parliament. Hence the letter published elsewhere in our columns of this evening, in which the Member for Tavistock en. aeavours to show that another million and-a-half might be spared to the nation from the Naval Esti mates, already reduced since 1847 by 2,000,0001. ster ling 1 Seeing that the moneys were on Monday night actually rated, it certainly appears to us rather timed and superfluous to demonstrate that 4,000,0001. would be ample for the annual support of the mari time department, in lieu of the 5.700,0001. virtually accorded to the Admiralty within the last forty-eight hours by the House of Commons for the ensuing twelve months. A better emploympnt of the munificent sums to the lioysi N avy granted of England it, of course , as we hive a ga i n an d aga i n in sisted, requisite. But a w h o l esa l e re duties t o t h e tune of another duction of tho se 1,500,0001, w e are by no mean s prepare d to regar d when the Member for Tavistock oh as desirable. itk nearly this very amount of . . tsiv t M , , , expended upon the two items of fr d materials for ship-building, to I gof men ;. ,Pt.:.tA - t- , tßte l :` D ar er supplies 7 4,, . -7 1 . '' 3. . scut if at this time in our possession, ...., .1.C4 a is- THE SUN, he expresses an opinion in every respect coincident with the views we ourselves have for a considerable time past entertained. Ac cording to the well-known estimate, we should be enabled to secure to the country new ships of war at the rate of 1,0001. per gun, yet such has hitherto proved by no means an accurate calculation. Had it done so, we should now, in truth, have collected together during the last 37 years of peace, no less than 370 such vessels—as Mr. TRELAWNY has him self intimated—the ordinary duration of these vessels extending over a period longer than the interval from the present moment to the battle of Waterloo. When, however, the Member for Tavistock, in con tinuation of his argument in favour of retrenchment in our naval expenditure, contends that for 40,000 seamen, ' an annual outlay of 2,000,000/. ought at the very out side to bo sufficient " on the ground that able seamen can be obtained for 1/. a week to find themselves," he is himself guilty of an extravagance yet greater than the very extravagance complained of by him in the disbursement of 5,700,000/. in our Naval Estimates. The suggestion we cannot but regard as one alto gether derogatory to the national character, revealing, as it does, that very tendency to niggardliness against which we have protested as unbecoming the wealth and dignity of the empire, and as calculated in a particular manner to prove injurious to our maritime interests. Fancy the House of Commons resolving that the sailors of England should be secured at the rate of 1/. a-week, on the understanding that they were "to find themselves !" Away with these little quibbles of parsimony, away with them l Let us re-organize the administration of naval affairs by the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, if we will. Let us see that the moneys granted by the nation for the maritime service are expended without folly and without prodigality. Let us so arrange matters for the future in regard to the manning of our vessels of war, in re gard to our building 'of ships, in regard to the management of our dockyards, in regard to provisions, and medicine stores, and cdl the other items in our maritime expenditure, so that not a thousand, or a hun dred, or ten, or even a single pound shall be squandered without the return of some compensative advantage. But do not, in con sideration of the glory of our navy, and in considera tion of the wealth of our empire, and in considera tion of the national credit, and the popular munifi cence of Great Britain, do not be grinding down the tars of England with an economy less befitting the generous bands of JOHN BULL than the miserly clutches of JOHN ELWES ! It was a fundamental principle observed both in Courts of Equity and Common Law, that " wills should be construed liberally, and deed strictly." Certai❑ legal forms should be observed in the latter, but the sole objEct cf the judges in adjudicating upon the former was to ascertain the intention of the testator, which, so far as practicable, in every instance was carried into execution. There were abundant reasons for this wise and salutary distinction. Deeds were supposed to be solemn instruments, framed with the utmost core and deliberation, the enacting parties having the benefit of adequate legal advice. It was not considered dz-sirabla that they should be di vested of the formalities essential to their efficiency, or that any undue facilities should be given to the execution thereof. It was rightly considered that great security against fraud was afforded by the stringent rules of interpretation, which rendered professional assistance almost indispensable. Hsd it been other wise, the business of the tribunals, more especially of the Courts of Equity, would be greatly increased by proceedings instituted for the purpose of setting aside deeds improperly obtained, or executed under an erroneous impression of their effect and operation. But it was otherwise with respect to testamentary dispositions. Although every prudent man should prepare himself fur the event that sooner or later must occur to all without exception—although he should have his affairs so arranged that his wishes and intentions should be carried into effect, no matter bow sudden might be the final summons, even though it should arrive while he was in the possession of physical and intellectual vigour, in the full enjoy ment of mental and bodily health—a large proportion of persons were in the habit of postponing the execu tion of their wills. There were various reasons for this dangerous omission. Same merely indulged in habits of procrastination. They would give in for their wills, to-morrow or next day, hut there was surely no hurry. They were never better, and might look forward to many years during which circumstances might change, so as to occasion the necessity for various alterations, codicils, &c. There could, therefore, be no harm in a little delay, hut they would take care that everything was done before any necessity should arise. o;hers might pause from real uncertainty as to how they would wish to bequeath their property, being too much busied in acquiring fortunes to think seriously of the ultimate disposition. Some avoid the small pecuniary outlay incident to the prepara tion of their wills, while the great majority are in fluenced by the dislike to think seriously on so unpleasant a subject, and perhaps a superstitious feeling secretly indulged in. The result in every case is the same. It was only when the emer gency actually arose that the omission was felt. But professional advice or assistance could not then be obtained. It was therefore essential in such cases to dispense with all formalities, to look only to the substance, and to give effect to the intention of the testatcr whenever it could he fairly arrived at, adopting only such precautions as might be deemed essential for the prevention of fraud. Such was the case until the Statute of Wills (1 Vic., cap. 26), which came into operation on the Ist day of January, 1838, and by which certain formalities were rendered necessary in the execution and attestation of wills. The principal features of the new law were, that every will should be in writing, signed at the end or foot thereof by the testator, in the presence of two or wore persons, who should, in the presence of the tes tator, affix their names as witnesses. It has, however, been found that some one or more of these compara tively trifling points are but too frequently dispensed with, so that wills which could not be impeached on any other ground become inoperative. Many Learned Judges have expressed their deep regret at being compelled to disregard the clear and unequivocal ex pression of the testator's wishes on some merely tech nical difficulty by which the objects of their bounty were reduced from a state of comparative affluence and comfort to poverty and destitution. Persons of even the highest rank were not exempted from these mistakes, and we believe that her late Majesty Queen ADELAIDE was included among the number. The LORD CHANCELLOR has introduced a Bill to .remedy these acknowledged evils, which last night received a second reading in the House of Lords. The Nobl e a n d Learned Lord directs attention to three Points which require amendment, and we can scarcely suppose that there can be any tdif ference opinion as to the propriety of any or either o f hem to . theT hefirst important topic relates signature oafndthe mosttes tator. Lord S. La t i Alma denies that the execution should in that respect depend on " the role of law, and not on the rule of spa „ 'and that if the signs• t or e be affixed w ith the bona " "fide inte n tio n • • of giving validity to the document, it should be effectual , although i t m ight be placed tome half or quarter of an inch lower on the page than Was heretofore con sidered correct. We have the authority of his Lord ship for the assertion that upon the construction that the name should immediately follow the disposition "hundreds of wills have been held invalid, and misery and wretchedness have found their way to hearth s where wealth, and Peace their and comfort, ought to have had habitation;' The principle appears indisputable that "a will should be considered valid and sacred where the form only is impeached, and the substance is not objected to." We trust, then, that the most inveterate advocate for an early dissolution will acknowledge the propriety of the most speedy remedy practicable, and give every possible facility to the passing of the measure of the Bill during the present session. The other points relate merely to the attestation, and although there are not by any means so many cases of invalidated wills in consequence of the existing rules as of that relating to the signature, they are no less objectionable in point of principle, and equally require amendment. For instance, the signature must be made or acknowledged in the pre- LONDON, sence of the witnesses, and if a man, desirous of con cealing the provisions of his will from the inquisitive scrutiny of the only eligible persons whose attesta tions he might be enabled to obtain, should chance to turn down his signature with the other portion of the will, the whole would be vitiated. It is now proposed that it shall be sufficient if the will itself is acknowledged by the testator in the presence of the witnesses, and also that the attestation may be affixed, when the witnesses without fraud, and as part of the same transactions, and without leaving the house, sign their names, although not withi❑ the sight of the testator. This is the first of the legal reforms introduced by the LORD CHANCFLLOR, and we believe that all will acknowledge its propriety. It affords a favourable augury of future proceedings on this very important subject. The vulgar adage hath it, that " It is easy to find a stick to beat a dog." Prejudiced judges, whose minds are previously mode up, will easily assign reasons for the decisions which they may deliver, although from the very beginning these decisions were little better than " foregone conclusions." From the first we had but little hope from the ap pointment of the Treasury Commission of Inquiry into the the cost and applicability of the Crystal Palace, unless there was a vigorous pressure from without, combined with strong and energetic de monstrations within the walls of Parliament. There was a too manifest disposition to get rid of that magnificent structure, to convert what should be the honour of the country into a national disgrace, by its being made the object of an act of Vandalism un paralleled among civilized nations in modern years. The people, however, remained apathetic, while the stirring events in Parliament and the an ticipated dissolution have prevented the energetic efforts being made which could alone preserve that magnificent structure to the community. There is, however, yet time for combined and strenuous exertions, and the designer and constructors of the building are willing to afford every opportunity to the people to give expression to their sentiments. Oa Monday we inserted the letter of Messrs. Fox and HENDERSON, containing an invitation to all comers to visit the building gratuitously during the present week, so that they may be enabled to form a just estimate of its capabilities, and also of the conduct of those who insist upon its destruction. We now earnestly in vite attention to the letter of Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, which will be found in another part of this day's impression, and which throws considerable light on the animus of the CommissionerP, who, in their report, only adverted to a single detached sentence, the meaning of which they totally misunderstood— a misconception, probably arising from the omission of affording him an opportunity of making verbal corrections in the printed evidence. We be- lieve that there are but few disinterested persons who will not coincide in the opinion that the destruction of the building would be " a wanton sacrifice of property," which should not be sanctioned under any circumstances, but most certainly not under erroneous—we shall not say false representations of the evidence of Sir JOSEPH PazzoN. Let, then, the people speak out boldly and unequivocally, so that the voice of public opinion may be beard within the walls of Parliament, and let some of our representa tives insist on the matter being calmly discussed, so that the opinion of the Legislature may be fairly ascertained. We venture to assure those who may make them selves active on the subject that their chances of re• election will not be diminished thereby, and that such conduct will be apything but displeasing to their re spective constituencies.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the thin attendance of buyers, was in a depressed state, at about Monday's prices. Nearly the whole of the country markets held yesterday were lower, for both Wheat and Barley. The show of Foreign Wheat was again moderate; neverthe less, the amount of business doing in that article was trifling, at barely late currencies. Floating cargoes were in fair request chit fly for Holland. Fine Malting Barley realised Lull quotations; but grinding and distilling sorts, including Malt, commanded very little attention. We were scantily supplied with Oats, for which the inquiry was tolerably firm, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Indian-corn were dull, and almost nominal. Flour moved off heavily, yet, as an advance of three francs per sack has taken place in the quotations in Paris, holders refused to submit to lower prices.; ARRIVALS THIS WIEK. .1 Wheat. Barley.

William Rory Borcham was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with being drunk and making a disturbance at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and also with assaulting the constable. Mr. Reynolds, the constable at the theatre, stated that last night the prisoner, in company with some others, went to the boxes of the theatre, and being drunk, /shortly after their entrance, began to make a disturbance. Apon being remonstrated with the prisoner refused to desist, and he therefore proceeded to eject him, when the prisoner became very violent, and struck at him several times. In the course of the struggle the prisoner tore the prosecutor's coat across the arm, and inflicted other injuries. There were several othbr persons present who witnessed the assault, and who also complained of the prisoner's conduct. Had it not been that there was a benefit at the theatre, the prisoner and his party would not have been admitted. Other evidence having been given, The prisoner, in defence , said he was very sorry , and that nothi ng of the kind should occur again. Mr. CORRIE said he must protect the officers of this well-conducted theatre, and fined the defendant the amount of the damage done to the cfficer's coat, and alio five shillings for being drunk. ORCESTER CATHEDRAL.—The numerous little spires whisk once gave a peculiar character to our Cathedral have now all been taken down except one, and that is also to be removed shortly: They had become so dilapidated as to rock to and fro, and threaten iniimnent danger to the struc ture beneath.

The marke closed heavily with prices as compared with Friday's rates, Brazil id. higher, American at and under sd. were 1.16 d. in favour of buyers. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at Sad. to 61d., 20 Bahia at 6id., 100 Egyptian at bid. to Bd., 500 Surat at 3id. to 4d., and 40 Sea island at Is. lid. to Is. sid. per lb. — ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher prices. The state of the London Dried Fruit trade is thus described by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:— " Our clearances of Currants are an indication of con siderable sales, to effect which the holders have been obliged to submit to a further reduction in price. The business has been limited for the most part to Upper GOO and low quality, fine and good fruit being scarce, or, if offered for sale, not finding an adequate price. " Notwithstanding the late extensive shipments of old fruit from this part to the continent, and the fact of several direct cargoes of Island Fruit being on the way thither, there is still a good inquiry from 110 l land, where several cargoes of Island and good Patras were purchased last week, not so much for immediate resale and consumption as for investment by capitalists, whose attention has been called to the extraordinary low price of the articles. The decline in Currants in this market since the commencement of the present season has been about 20 to 25 per cent. on the long price, but as our Customs' duty now constitutes one half or more of that price, this decline is equivalent to 50 per cent., and in some instances 60 per cent., upon the original cost price in Greece." Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New Orleans, February 28, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars re lative to the state of the Cotton Market:—" Oar last Circular, dated 14th inst., advised great briskness in our Cotton Market; the transactions have since been quite extensive, amounting to 93,300 bales during the past fortnight. Prices have fluctuated slightly, and are now about the same. Our last accounts from Liverpool (11th inat,) announce a small decline in that market, but as its cause is ascribed to large arrivals, without any discouraging feature in trade, this news has scarcely produced any effect here; wo may from time to time yet have irregularities in our rates, but we persist in our opinion that no permanent, material decline can be looked for while the present general demand continues to prevail, and freights and exchange remain favourable, as at this present moment, combined with the light stock for sale. Our receipts during the last two weeks sum up 95,639 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary, 64- to 7; low middling, 71 to 7i; middling, 7ir to 71; good middling, 7-1 to 8; middling fair, to 8i; fair, 84 to 9. Sales during the two weeks, 93,300 bales. Receipts at this port, 872,515 bales, against 696,538 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all ports, 163,184 bales. Increase of total experts to Great Britain, 103,274 bales. Increase of total exports to France, 26,146 bales; and to other foreign ports 2,673 against last year." The public sales of Colonial Produce have been of very limited extent to-day, and scarcely any auctions are announced for to-morrow.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair a few minutes pact Twelve o'cicek. NEW MEMBER. Viscount NEwronT took the oaths and his seat, on his re-election tor South Shropshire. RAMSGATE ROYAL HARBOUR BILL. On the motion fur the second reading of this Bill, Mr. WAWN inquired of the Member for the city of London (Mr. Masterman) whether it was intended by the Bill to carry out the recommendations of the Com mittee which had been appointed to consider the subject? Mr. MASTERMAN was understood to say that the object of the Bill was to reduce the tolls now charged at, Ramsgate for vessels engaged in the coasting trade. Mr. STAFFORD said, since, the new Admiralty Board had come into office they had earnestly directed their attention to the subject, and they were of opinion that as neither the promoters nor the opponents of it had sought interviews with the Board of Trade, nor laid plans before them, any further proceeding et present with the Bill would be premature. They thought the question was not so much one for the Admiralty us for the Board of Trade, as it affected the mercantile and nut the royal navy. lle hoped the Hon. Member ' would not object to the postponement of the Bill. Sir F. BARING said he was bound in justice to the promoters to explain that they were not open to the accusatio❑ of the Hon. Member. They applied to the Board of Trade in the first iestenee, but they were told that the subject was one for the consideration of the Ad miralty —a view in which the Admiralty coincided. The Bill was of very great importance, because it enabled the trustees of the harbour to remove the grievances which now pressed on the shipping trade, and could not be removed except by means of an Act of Parliament. It was at the suggestion of the late Government that the promoters bad introduced the Bill. Mr. STAFFORD said he wished to cast no imputa tion upon the late Government. Owing to the short period he had been in office he had not had time suffi ciently to consider the Bill. Mr. DUNCAN hoped the shipping interest would be relieved from the present oppressive tolls. Mr. WAWN thought the lute Board of Admiralty were liable to great complaint for their conduct in regard to the measure. Mr. MASTERMAN said he could not consistently force the second reading on the present occasion after the statement of the Secretary to the Admiralty. ile would postpone the second reading until this day for night. PETITIONS. Sir E. FILMER presented a petition from the metro polis against the post-horse duty; also petitions from West Kent against the hop duty and the Maynooth grant. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from Dundee against the Maynooth grant. Mr. J. H. HAMILTON presented a petition from St. Albans against the coal duty imposed by the Corpora tion of London. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from Mr. Rigby Wason, complaining that grants of land in the New Forest had been given to certain noblemen and gentlemen. Mr. SPOONER presented petitions from places in W arwickshire and Lincolnshire, and also from Kingston upon-Thames and the metropolis against the Maynooth grant. Mr. H. WILLYAMS presented a petition from Truro against the war in South Africa. Mr. GEORGE DUNCAN presented a petition from the Presbytery of the Freo Church at Dundee, against the Maynooth grant. Mr. FARNHAM presented a petition from the post masters of Loughborough, praying the immediate repeal of the post-horse duties. PROTECTION FROM DANGEROUS ANIMALS BILL. Mr. FREWEN, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said its object was to extend the power now exist ing in the metropolitan police districta for the destruc tion of dangerous animals, to the rural districts of the country. His constituents were much annoyed, and put to great inconvenience iu come quence of tho law not giving them any protection against the attacks of mad dogs and infuriated btillB.' These grivances, however, were not confined to Sussex, but were felt throughout the country; he therefore hoped there would be no objection to the short measure he now proposed to remedy the nuisance. Sir F. THESIGER said he had not been aware until that moment of the public being so entirely unprotected against the attacks of dangerous animals; but he doubted whether the propositions of the Hon. Member were the most satisfactory for attaining the object he had in view. He proposed to give to other persons than the owner the right of disposing of an animal of this description. Two credible witnesses were in the first instance to go to a magistrate and de pose they had seen a mad dog, but, while on this mis sion, it might in the meantime be ranging about the parish at large, biting other animals, and perhaps many people. Ile was then to give them a written mandate, which they were to deliver to the constable of the parish, who thereupon would go in search of the dog, and if he succeeded in slaying it he was to get a reward of 2s. 6d., a kind of head money to stimulate him in his exertions. Then it was required that in certain cases all the dogs is a parish should be muzzled, but it was a great hardship to deprive innocent and well-behaved dogs of the pro tection which nature afforded them to protect themselves against the attacks of mad dogs or other dangerous entreats. The Hon. Member's 13111 brought to his mind the story of the quaker, who, in riding through a village, WAS met by a whelpiog cur, to w hom he said, " I cannot kill thee, bat 1 will give thee a bad name," whereupon he raised the cry of mad dog, and the villagers being alarmed came out and knocked the dog upon the head.—(A laugh.) He did not think this •was a subject in which there was the least necessity for legislaiion. The Learned Gentleman then alluded to the other pro visions of the Bill, and concluded by moving that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. SPOONER said the Learned Gentleman had amused the House by his entertaining speech, but he had failed to point out any fault in the Bill which might not be amended in Committee. The employment of dogs in carts was a dangerous and increasing evil in the country, and if not prohibited, ought to be p: aced under some better control. Mr. EWART opposed the Bill, considering that it would not accomplish the object of the Hon. Member, and would act very unjustly in its operation. Mr. JJEEI)ES said great doubt existed whether there was any law which authorised magisirates to order the destruction of unmuzzled dogs in hot weather, but for his part ho thought the magistracy ought to possess but, a power, and he hoped it would be rormally sanc tioned by the Legislature. He did not wish to abolish dog-carts in the country, but they ought to be placed under the control of the police, for many of the carts contained false bottoms, and they were frequently used for f.lortious purposes.—(hear, hear.) Mr. J. ELLIS thought it was high time that dog carts were put a stop to. They were not pi reaitted within the borough of Leicester, and he believed there was not an inhabitant of that borough who was not thankful that such a bye law existed in their town. Mr. WODEHOUSE supported the Bill. Colonel THOMPSON was; apprehensive that this Bill would endanger public liberty in reference to dog-!:arts. the dog cart interest was not represented in that House, and he was informed it wculd be sacrificed.—(A Laugh.) They beard a good deal of the danger to life from the use 1 of dog carts, but there is just as much danger resulting from the use of high spirited horses.—(clear, hear.) Trier° was an impression abroad that dog* were intended for uses et burden and drawing, but an anecdote which came under his notice in the colonies, would illustrate the fallacy of the objection. A Governor of a colony , wished to impress his subji , cts with the belief that bul locks could be rendered serviceable at the plough, and he made use of some on his own grounds. A Maroon captain then came to him, and said, Massa, Gochamighty never intended the bull to do the work of a 'oss," but the Gove rnor replied, " Captain Palmer , lot us s ee it a bull will do the work of a horse , and if h e will, depend uai pon an it d he was intended for the purpose."—(l-I"r'bear, not laughter.) He was afraid the dog-cart interest had been fairly heard in the House.—(Hear, hear.)t e og and b i n ear a .) cart, and the tJtOoLbLelra'dEe thought A horse had abolition,o eti but regula tionSirouWgh. r ' ens too, I t bety to o someh consequence was, aacgeirdeeantasnitniptahtehhyigtaohcwcirudeee'snit—angerdaeorg'continually occurring r, bear.)

CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.

Colonel SIBTHORP denounced the measure as a mean and shabby affair. The poet said conscience made cowards of us all, and as the promoters of this Bill had been guilty of corrupt practices, their consciences had frightened them into this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) H e did not wish to bribe any man, but whenever he had the opportunity he would treat his friends and assist his poor supporters, as he believed it was his duty to do it. Why should a Bill be passed to prohiait him from dis tributing his bounties to those who deserved and re quired it? Why, if this Bill passed it would be dan gerous for him to offer any e f his supporters a pinch of snuff - (A laugh)—while, as for relieving the distress of any of them which he might meet with in the course of his visits, it would he quite out of the ques tion.—(Hear, hear.) He would be no party to such a Bill as this, and though the House might pass it he would distribute his bounties in spite of it, when any of his friends and supporters wanted it,_(gear.) The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next.

The remaining orders were then disposed of, an d the j House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Oa Saturday last some very curious experiments were, made at this establishment in the presen ce of seve r " scientific gentlemen to test the results of a recent inven tion of Dr. Bach hoffner, for which patents have been ob tained by the inventor and Mr. N. aifries. The in !ion consists in the substitution of thin pieces of meta in the place of coal iti fire-grates, which being acted el by a mall: jet of gas, immediately become red hot . an . emit a prodigious degree of heat. The flame, which of produced by the proper but very simple managenrnth° the gas co-operating with the metallic lamiess, give th e appearance of a 13 , isk and cheerful coal fire, and ece . scarcely he distinguished from it. The heat can b e" -, gulated . by turning the cock of the gas-tube. There•l' no neposit of soot, no smoke, nor any of the annoya.eceA3 which attend c , )al fires, instanter,. or the fire kept as low as may be convente6,s and the gas can be extingen!her It will be seen that this ti,eful invention is of gen es Interest, and not only es effects private houses, bet Ita g affects breweries, manufactories, and all large fires are required ; and by its adoption the nce: o . enormous chimneys might be dispensed with, as no on e :. ta . generated. The expense with the gas now used tet t lighting would render a fire on this new principle were Places wher the same . expense as if coals were employed, bat r est whst is termed non-carbonized gas employed. 11 .;p - n . diminution . of expense would be obtained. The I n tion is of public importance, and is well worth tion of the public. _ - the stten LII'ES LEAS, ED A' TINED X: INTAILII. Railways. l ' e " ing raid. Nominal Prices.
