There arose a very inept discussion last night in the House of Commons, on the subject of Lord LUMLEY'S right to sit in the House, his father the Earl of SCARBO ROUGH, a Peer of the realm, being dead. Sir ROBERT PEEL, with somewhat more positiveness than he usually displays on questions such as this, in which of course he cannot be influenced by any interested motive, maintained that Lord LUMLEY may exercise all the functions of a repre sentative of the people until he is summoned by the Peers. to take his seat in the Upper House, and that it would be a very hard case indeed were the Noble Lord's consti tuents to be deprived of his services, in the event of his failing to make good his title to the Peerage. We do not agree with the Right Hon. Baronet, either in his constitu tional law, or in his argument. If constituencies will choose the sons of Peers for their representatives, they must sub mit to the inconveniences attending such a choice. When the electors of Nottinghamshire chose Lord Lu Nt LEY, they knew that he was the eldest son of a Peer, and that Peers do not number araang.their privileges an exemption from the corn man lot of mortality. With respect to the other point, we think the question is simply this—is Lord LUMLEY a Peer, or is he not ?If he is, he is so by inheritance, and his rights commenced at the moment when his father expired. He may not choose to exercise those rights, but he cannot divest himself of that rank or character in the state which they give him, in spite of himself. Now, supposing Lord LUMLEY sits and votes in the House of Commons until the Lords are satisfied that he is a Peer, and issue a summons to him to take his seat among them, every vote he shall have given since his father's death will be null and void, as having been given by a Peer—a person labouring under a natural incapacity to be a member of the House. In the same manner, any Hon. Member who should have the misfortune to be struck with lunacy would vacate his seat ; and every act done by him during the period of his mental aberration would be pronounced in valid. It is absurd to say that there is no danger in the abuse of a single vote. The principle is the same as if half the members of the House were in - the situation of Lord LumLEv ; and we cannot forget that questions of the most vital importance mty often be, and have often been, decided by a single vote. We will put a case—suppose that, by some chance or other, Lord LUMLEY should be prevailed upon to vote against the motion which Mr. HumE is to bring on to morrow for limit:ng, the Supplies to three months, and the motion should be lost by a majority of one.would his Lordship's vote be allowed to pass unchallenged ? 'We suspect not. A vote entailing cn the country the con tinuance of great national calamity, were it only for a single day, would be most rigidly enquired into. Nothing of any particular interest took place last night in the House of Lords. In the House of Commons, the Chester Criminals' Execution Bill was read a second time. A new writ was ordered for the University of Cambridge, in the room of Sir C. M. SUTTON, now Viscount CAN TERBURY and Baron BOTTLSFORD. Mr. D. W. HARVEY gave notice,. that en the 28th of April, when his motion respecting the Pension List would come on, he should move for a call of the House. In answer to an observation made by Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. HurAtE ex pressed his belief that the motion for limiting the vote of Supplies for three mcnees, would be made in Committee on Friday, and not before the SPEAKER quitted the chair. Sir J. CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Wiils' Execution Bill, which was ordered to be referred to a Se lect Committee. The Newspaper Regulation Bill was also read a second time, and went through Committee. Mr. Poui.- TER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better Observance of the Sabbath, which led to a brief and unimportant dis discussion. Mr. HUME, in a speech replete with good sense, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the English Reform Act, in so far as related to the time al- lowed for voting, to the distribution of polling-books, and the expenses of returning officers. After a long discussion on the subject, in which Mr. SPRING RICE, Major C. BRUCE, Colonel SI➢TIIORP, and Sir H. HARDINGE, took a share, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY obtained leave for the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the most effectual means of preventing bribery, corruption, and intimidation at elections. Leave was also given to the LORD ADVOCATE to bring in a Bill to regulate the Registration of the Estates of Bankrupts in Scotland. We recommend such of our readers as have a taste for the ridiculous, to peruse Sir ROGER GREISLEY'S Address to the-Electors of South Derby, (in justification of his vote against the repeal of the Malt Tax,) which illumines the Morning Post of this day. A droller affair we have not . _ _ met with this many a day. It is equal to a speech by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. The Hon. Member, it should be borne in mind, had promised his constituents on the hustings, that he would vote for the repeal of the Malt Tax, and—to quote his own words—" it was not un Sunday evening that any idea occurred to me of voting against Lord CHANDOS' motion ; but from what I heard that evening, I began to suspect that by the faction in the House of Commons, his motion was intended as a ehicle to renew the attacks which on two previous occasions had been made successfully on his MA JEST Y'S Government, and I had reason to know that if that plot succeeded, the Prime Minister could not, consistently with his honour as a public man, continue in office, but must resign. If he resigned, I knew the inevitable result—the formation of a democratic cabal, whose first measures would be, Annual Parliaments, Uni versal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Secularization of Church Property, the Alienation of the Church from the State, Confiscation of Private Property, the Abolition of the Hereditary Peerage, National Bankruptcy, and Civil Wart This black catalogue of horrors—each of which Sir ROGER has commenced with a capital letter, in order that it may haven still more alarming effect on the nerves of his constituents—induced him to forfeit his pledge. He did not, however, come to this determination without many sore mis givings and groanings in the spirit. " After a sleepless night," says he, "of deep and anxious reflection, in which I fore saw, with a kind of inspiration which I cannot explain, but which has before occurred to me, the awful dilemma in which we should be placed if the Government were beaten, I made up my mind on the course I should pur sue." It would seem by this that the Hon. Baronet was " inspired," and could not help himself. He had had a " Cali" to vote against a repeal of the Malt Tax. The fault was not his, but the Lord's. Fain would he have kept faiths with his constituents, but to was prevented by celestial interposition. That the Hon. Baronet is sincere in this belief we doubt not ; but for our own parts, we must be permitted to question its soundness. We saw no symp toms of " inspiration " in his speech the other evening ; though it cannot be denied that in his present Ad dress he exhibits unequivocal proofs of that peculiar wisdom " which passeth all human understanding." We hope Sir ROGER'S constituents will be satisfied with his plea of "inspiration." At any rate, it deserves praise, if only for its exquisite originality. Think of a Legislator alleging, in excuse for his having broken faith with those who sent him to Parliament, that he was " inspired," and could not help himself! Pray Heaven the infection do not spread. Political " inspiration" is the most alarming form in which the disease can manifest itself. PITT was an " in spired" Minister, and millions of " heaven-descended" taxes were the consequence. As for Sir ROGER GREIS.• LEY, the present is by no means his first attack. He has a predisposition that way, as he himself assures us. His case, therefore, should be closely watched by his constitu ents, or it may lead him to forfeit other pledges. By the bye, talking of pledges, Sir FRANCIS BURDET I' seems in a fair way of breaking one or more, with the Westminster electors. Is he " inspired" too ? Towards the close of his Address, the " inspired" ROGER expressly states that it was his resolution to vote with Go vernment, that settled the business of the Malt Tax. " The impulse given" he observes, with all the solemnity of one conscious of celestial favour, " carried all before it." The House heard him, and was convinced. When Balaana's ass spoke, his " inspired" eloquence had the same miraculous effect on all who heard him. Estimating by its results the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL on tile Malt Tax question, it would appear to have been one of the most convincing ever delivered in Parliament. The Hon. Member for Oldham expressly stated that he knew there were at least 400 gentlemen composing the new House, who stood pledged to their constituents to vote for the repeal of the Malt Duties ; and yet out of 542 Members present, there was a majority against it of 158 !—Consistency ! but this difficulty was afterwards satis factorily explained away by Sir R. GREISLEY, as we shall presently notice. That it was an effective speech for the purpose designed is unquestionable ; but there are some extraordinary points about it, fiscally and philosophically considered, which de serve attention. It will be discovered, upon examination, that the whole course of Sir ROBERT'S argument, which went to prove that the impost was light upon the people, and—because at once light, and an importantly productive item in the public revenue—that it ought not therefore to be removed, went furthermore to prove, that by simply doubling this tax—and doubling a slight burthen cannot make it very oppressive—an enormous increment of the revenue would be thereby effected I Choice news this for future Chancellors of the Exchequer ! In order to put an extinguisher upon false sympathy, he ridiculed the supposition of beer being any longer the " national beverage," and instanced the vast consumption of other fluids, such as coffee, tea, and spirits, to establish the impossibility that so much of these articles (bearing, by the way, a larger rate of duty) being drank,' more beer (bearing a less) could be consumed than now, even though that duty were wholly reduced. He entered also into some interesting arithmetical details, illustrative of the compara tive demand between recent and former periods, notwith standing the prodigious difference in rates of duty between the beverages of beer and spirits ; whence it appears, that whilst geneva bears 930 per cent., the rate on beer is ac tually next to nothing, and yet the former is the favourite for choice. So much for beer being a national beverage. Upon the subject of spirits, indeed, the Right Hon. Baronet seems to entertain rather peculiar notions. The generally received opinion of their deleterious influence upon the national health, physical, if not moral, seems somewhat inaccordant with his own. Mr. COBBETT took occasion to observe that two bushels of malt would produce the same quantity of spirit as three of barley ; but this the Premier Zenied, and declared that, such being the fact, "he could not understand—therefore, how it was possible G. the for mer to contain a larger quantity of nutritive quality than the !atter." Hence, then, we are to infer that the nutritive properties of a given food, solid or fluid, are proportionate to the alcohol it contains ! Verily if his political doctrines are no sounder than his dietary, he will soon fall into grie vous predicaments. _ _ _ Sir ROBERT subsequently expressed a fear that the di rect consequence of enabling the poor man to brew his own beer from the raw material, by the reduction of the present duties, (whilst now for an additional penny per pot he can secure the charm of a good fire and of com pany") would, by reason of the advances that chemical knowledge is now making, (chemistry is a mud-cot) be the illicit distillation of spirits,rather than simple beer-brewing; it may, however, be supposed that this dread arises rather lest an infraction of the excise-law should occur, by an in dulgence in illicit elaborations, than out of an apprehended injury to health, by the extraction of nutritive spirit from the barley. . These were not the only remarkable arguments elicited by the debate. Sir. R. GREISLEY was pleased to propound that the " suddenness and variety of the changes which had taken place in the political circumstances of the country, justified a man in voting to-day in a sense con trary to that in which he would to-morrow ; so that any disappointed constituency has only to weigh an un ac countable vote by the standard of the Hon. Baronet's ethics, and the mystery wilJ be removed. Who now will deny that black is white, politically considered ? So much for senatorial wisdom. Lisbon Journals to the 26th ult. have been received, which confirm all those changes in the Portuguese Ministry, of which we gave an account in our Paper of yesterday. In the legislative chambers the public business is conducted with great regard to public decency, and the dignity of these assemblies, considering the strength, firmness, and intelli gence of the Opposition. In accordance with the Consti tutional Charter, the number of Cabinet Ministers is reduced to six, the casting vote resting with Prince AUGUS-• rus, who is authorised to occupy a seat at the Council Board. The same Charter enjoins Ministers not to send any person out of the Kingdom in a diplomatic capacity, or charged with any mission to the government of other States, without having first obtained the consent of the Cortes. Since the re-arrangement of the Cabinet, the Duke of PALMELLA moved in the Cortes, that the Mar-. quis of SALDANHA might be sent on a diplomatic mission. The Motion was strenuously opposed, on the ground that the Marquis's presence was necessary to secure the peace of the country. A division took place, when the Motion was carried by a majority of 55 to 37. The destination of the Marquis is not known, but it is believed that he will be sent to Paris. Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has procured the libdra tion of the British troops, confined in the Castle of St. George. They are at present on their way to this country. The Cortes have voted thanks to all foreign merchants, individually, who assisted Portugal by loans and otherwise against the Usurper MIGUEL. On the 21st inst. the Government gave orders for burn ing called-in paper money to the amount of 400,000/. At an early hour the condemned securities were accordingly burned in the Rocio-square, in the presence of twelve in fluential merchants, to the great delight of a vast concourse of people. . The QUEEN and Prince AUGUSTUS are in good health and extremely popular. We have received New York Papers to the 19th of February. Their contents are not worth notice, being mere details of the dispute, or whatever else the public choose to term it, between France and the United States, on the subject of the liquidation of claims. Mr. ADAMS, whose Speech in Congress in support of the PRESIDENT'S views created so much excitement, has thought it prudent to make another speech for the purpose of quieting the ferment. Mr. ADAMS, it appears, has read Marc Antony's harangue over the dead body of Caesar. After counselling a war with France, and after succeeding in inflaming the public mind, he now exclaims— " Sweet friends ! good friends ! let me not stir you up To any sudden flood of mutiny." The express from Paris has arrived, bringing the French Journals of Wednesday, which we have just received. The Ministerial appointments have not yet taken place. The Constitectionnel contains the following notice :—" Deputies of every shade of opinion intend to meet to-morrow, the 10th of March, at three o'clock, in the Hall of the Con ferences, for the purpose of agreeing on the course proper to be adopted in the Sitting of Wednesday. It is to be wished that this meeting may be numerous." It is unne cessary to observe that the above is extremely satisfactory to the liberal party, and that the Editor congratulates him self on its appearance. It will beremembered that a Motion relative to the Mi nisterial appointments, was to have been made in the Chamber, of Deputies on Saturday. It was not, however, brought for ward out of respect for the KING, and in order not to expose the secret disorganization of the Cabinet. On Tuesday at one o'clock, the President of the Chamber, accompanied by the Secretaries, and attended by a few members, waited on his MAJESTY at the Tuilleries, to present to him the project of !such laws as were adopted at last sitting. The Presi dent was well received, and after the KING had been made acquainted with the particulars of their message, addressed them in the following words on the subject of the Motion of Saturday. " Gentleman—l am happy to have an opportunity to ex press to those who represent the Chamber of Deputies, how highly I appreciate the prudence which it showed on Saturday last, in defering the questions which could only have increased our embarrassments. These embarrass ments are great ; on the one hand, I have to contend against political passions, on the other hand, I have to com bat the personal repugnances of very honourable men, who fear to take on themselves the burden of the Ministry which they consider as too heavy for them. However, I have the hope, that we shall soon succeed in surmounting all difficulties ; and, at all events, there can result from our efforts only a Ministry that represent the majority of the Chambers." It is stated in several of the Parisian Journals, that the jalousies which existed among the members of the old Cabinet have been entirely removed, and that they are now ready to return to their respective offices, without a murmur. SOULT is reported to have declared, that he will not undertake the construction of a Government on any terms. The KING is, therefore, driven to place his chief reliance on M. TRIERS and Marshal GERARD. The Brussels, German, and Baurdeaux Papers, received this day, contain no intelligence of importance. The All gemeine Zeifung of the 6th inst . states, that during the last illness of the Emperor FRANCIS, the funds fell at Vienna. " Bank Shares varied between 1,227 and 1,230, closing at 1,225 ; the Five per Cent. Metalliques between 96 and 961 ; the Four per Cents. between 881 and 89 ; so that, in those four days, the Bank Shares have fallen 122 florins per share ; the Five per Cent. Metalliques 6, and the Four per Cent. Metalliques 7 per cent. It is evident that the speculators for a fall have more than recovered the losses that they have latterly sustained."

Society of Commerce —Brussels Papers, March 11. His Majesty's ship Iliagicienne, Capt. PLUMRIDGE, has arrived at Portsmouth, bringing accounts from Madras to the extraordinary late date of the 15th December. The expectations of war, and the negociations with the Rajah of Joudpore,, are over. MAUN SING has come to terms, and has agreed, amongst other matters, in conformity to treaty, to " maintain his contingent in a state of efficiency under fit and obedient commanders, who will be ready at all times to co-operate with the British authorities." The force destined for Joudpore was about to march against the Shekawatee tribes, but it was supposed a demonstration of of the strength on our part would be sufficient to frighten them, as it had done the Joudpore RAJAH. Lord WILLIAm BENTINCK returned to. Calcutta on the 14th of November, much indisposed. He was positively to !cave for England on the 15th of March following, in his Majesty's ship Curacoa. Sir CHARLES T. METCALFE, Bart., was about to assume the duties of Governor of Agra. The arrange ments had been completed. An embassy from RUNJEET SINGH to the Governor- General was on its way to Calcutta. It arrived at Alla habad on the 13th of November. Another inundation took place in October last, by the Maim Nuddic overflowing its banks. On the estate of the Sumbh!poor RAJAH alone, 110 villages were swept away, and 10 individuals drowned. The Lord Bishop of CALCUTTA arrived at Madras in the Enterprise steamer, on the IC,th of December, from his visitation to Penang, and other places to the Eastward. The Recorder has arrived in Dublin to dispose of the arrear of pickpocket cases. Lord John Russell's castiga tion of his Worship should render him a much more pitiable object than any of the unfortunate malefactors upon whom he must soon have to pronounce sentence. His Worship has been just tried in the House of Commons, found guilty, and'con demacd as a furious, factious, intolerant, and greatly overrated demagogue.—Morning Register. THE NEW PALACE.—On Tuesday the workmen began to make preparations for erecting the gates at the grand entrance of Buckingham Palace, under the noble archway. The gates are of brass, similar in pattern to those under the triumphal arch at the top of Constitution-hill. Her Mljesty has been several times lately to inspect the Palace and give directions to the decorators, upholsterers, &c. Lord Gran ville Somerset has o'iven directions to purchase the White Horse livery stables and several hokises adjoining, to make 4 more commodious approach to the park on the Pimlico side. The coach-stand is to be removed further down Jaynes-street. COBBETT AND- THE TORY WHIPPER-IN.—All our readers have heard of that very useful functionary, the whipper-in of the Tories—Billy Holmes, whom the Reform Bill has excluded from Parliament. This circumstance, how ever, does not prevent him rendering active aid to his party. The following fact respecting this whipper-in and the Member for Oldham, we have on the authority of a gentleman who heard Mr. Holmes boasting of his exploit within the walls of the House of Commons, on the second night of the debate on the Address. In the exercise of his vocation, Mr. Holmes plied the importer of Tom Paine's bones, and more effectually to gain his point, took tea with him. The result was, as told by Holmes, that though he could not get Cobbett's vote for the Address, he received his assurance that he would not vote for the amendment. This little fact may, perhaps, serve to en lighten some of our readers as to the character of the present Ministry. Perhaps too, it may incidentally illustrate Cob bett's character, for the men with whom the Tories thus tamper arc invariably such as they know to be of easy political virtue.—Sheffield Independent.. LISMORE LIGHTHOUSE.---This sea-light, so salu tary to mariners, lately proved disastrous to a flock of Brente geese (Anas Brenta) in a dark and stormy night. The poor birds had made for the light as a place of refuge, and five of them struck the building with such violence, that they were killed on the spot. What is very remarkable, one of the geese happening to strike against one of the large panes of the light room, which consisted of plate-glass a quarter of an inch thick shivered it with such amazing force, that the scattering frag ments raised small pimples on the metallic reflectors. Five lamps were extinguished by this sudden irruption ; but by the presence of mind and activity of the light-keeper, all were re lighted in about half a minute, and a storm-pane (constantly kept in readiness) was instantly applied. It is gratifying to have to add, that the light-keeper referred to (by name Ro bert Selkirk) is the lineal descendant of Alexander Selkirk, of Largo, better known to our readers by the title of Robinson Crusoe.—Edinlnirgh Chronicle.

The Case had not concluded•when we left. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TILE FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW.-GROTIIWOLD V. COCIIRANE. Mr. RUSSELL applied in this case upon motion for the purpose of obtaining a modification of the injunction which had been granted ex-parte, restraining the defendant and Messrs. Whittaker from printing, publishing, or assisting in the publication of the 28th number of the Foreign Quartery Review, the property in which was vested in the plaintiff as the assignee of Messrs. Truettel and Wortz, of Soho-square. The defendant (Mr. Cochrane) upon the establishment of the Foreign Quarterly Review in 1827, by Messrs. Hitcher, was engaged as its editor at a salary of 150/., and one4hird of the profits. He continued to edit the Journal up to November last, when Messrs. Truettel and Wortz, who had be come the proprietors of the publication, became embarrassed, and they agreed with the defendant to publish the 27th number on his own responsibility. He did so, but subsequent appli cations having been made to the defendant to continue the editorship, and as he thought it was impossible to carry on such a work under the management of an official assignee, he re flised to have any connection with it. In January last Mr. Coch rane circulated hand-bills and published public advertisements in the Foreign Quarterly Review and other periodicals, stating the inten tion on the part of Messrs. Whittaker to publish the X X VIIIth Num ber of the Foreign Quarterly Review, under the sole superintend ence of the defendant. Upon the plaintiff becoming acquainted with this an application was made for an injunction ex-parte, restraining Mr. Cochrane from intefering, and that injunction was granted. Mr. RUSSELL, on behalf of the defendant, contended that the injunction was much too extensive, for if its terms were taken in their literal sense it would preclude the defendant from em ploying his talents and knowledge in the management of any periodical similar to the Foreign Quarterly Review. Mr. Cochrane was willing that-the injunction restraining him from publishing_ the 28th number should continue, but he was desirous that the injunction should be so far modified as to enable him to conduct a journal which he had announced for pub lication, entitleetthe Mw Foreign Quarterly Review. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. BACON appeared for the plaintiffs. HIS HONOUR, thinking the words of the injunction were too ex tensive, varied them, and ordered the injunction to go, restraining .the defendant from availing himself of any articles or writings which he had or might have communicated to him as Editor of the Fo;•eign Quarterly Review. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with causes of no public interest. We understand that Mr. Spence has determined to give up his extensive practice in this Court, and confine himself solely to the Chancery and Rolls Courts. EAST INDIA AND CHINA TRADE, The f o ll o wi ng official communication was received yester day at the East India House, relative - to the subject of con tinuing the East India Company's warehouses as bonded warehouses, after they have passed out of the Company's hands. The communication has given much satisfaction to the merchants and others engaged in the trade to India and China, who have urged the necessity of having uptown ware houses for bonding the produce of India and China as of the utmost importance to the trade of the port of London. It will be seen that the Lords of the Treasury have acceded to the wishes of the commercial interests : " Treasury Chambers, March, 1835. " Gentlemen—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration the various papers on the question of approving the warehouses of the East India Company for the purposes of the warehousing system, after they shall have passed into other hands, and bearing in mind the fact that circumstances may arise under which the withdrawal of the licenses from all warehouses of the East India Company may have an effect injurious to the trade of London, and feeling it their duty, for the benefit of the public, to take all the steps in their power to provide for such a contingency, I am commanded to acquaint you that my Lords, under all the circumstances of theease, consider it proper to give their sanction to the continuance of the privilege of ordinary security to some of the warehouses of the East India Com pany, after they shall have passed into other hands. My Lords have, therefore, notified to the Commissioners for the Affairs of India that when the particular stacks of warehouses, situate in Cut ler-street, Billiter-street, Fenchurch-street, and Crutched Friars, and designated, in a plan furnished by the Commissioners of Cus toms, by the numbers 2,4, 5, and 8, shall have become the pro perty of persons whom my Lords can approve as warehouse-keep ers under the revenue laws, they will consent to their being licensed as warehouses of ordinary security for warehousing goods imported from places within the limits of the East India Company's charter. .‘ I am, &c. (Signed) " T. F. FREEMANTLE. , 6 To the Cliairinari and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company." The communication was read to the Tea Trade yesterday, previously to the commencement of the sales of private trade teas, which were announced to succeed the East India Com pany's sale. In order to avail themselves of the intentions of Government to continue the warehouses as bonded ware houses, a meeting of the mer c h an t s i n t e rested was held yester day to adopt preliminary measures for the possession of the b u ildings after they shall h ave p ass ed out of the hands of the Eastllndia Company. Our (Boston) navy yard at Charlestown presents at this moment rather a busy scene. A number of the large sized guns, and a great quantity of ammunition has been re. ceived at the yard, and we understand more is on its way. Orders have been received to have the Constitution and the Boston ready for sea as quick as possible. The former is nearly ready, and the latter is now in the dry dock. She is newly coppered, and ready to come out. ' The Independence is laid up, but as soon as the Boston is out of the dock, she is to go in. All hands in the yard appear lively, and we should think a war with any country would be a very agreeable a musement.—A merican Paper. GAIETIES OF PARIS. —At a ball given by the French King at the Tuileries during the Carnival, there were 5,000 persons present. The President of the Chamber of Deputies, a few nights afterwards, opened his rooms, which were attended by 1,500 guests. On Monday night last, there wer e given no less than 45 masked balls in Paris, and that at the operaalone there we re counte d 3 , 000 persons . A t t hi s ball a curious etiquette prevails, that none but black dominos are admitted, and it is therefore thought grave and genteel. Some of the concerts have cost five thousand francs-2001. As the number of guest s , our ga y p ar ti es , even at the height of the season, must hide their diminished heads. POST-OFFICE INQUIRY. COPIES OF TREASURY MINUTES, Dated 19th August, 1834, and 17th February, 1835, appoint ing Commissioners for inquiring into the mode of conducting the Business of the Post-office Department, with a view to improving the same and affording increasing Accommodation to the Public. THOMAS F. FREMANTLE. _ _ _ Whitehall Treastiry Chambers, 6th March, 1835. Copy of TREASURY MINUTE, dated 19th August, 1834: Viscount Melbourne and the Chancellor of -the Exchequer state to the Board, that his Majesty's Government having bad under consideration the various representations recently made in Parlia ment in regard to the arrangements of the General Post-office, both as they relate to expedition and facility in transmitting letters, newspapers, and other printed papers to the various parts of the United Kingdom, and the amount charged for their conveyar.ce and delivery, are of opinion that it is expedient to inquire whether the mode of conducting the business of that depaKtment, with which the trade and commerce, as well as all the relations and transactions of the community, are intimately connected, may not admit of improvement'and increased accommodation, and whether increased accommodation may not be afforded to the public without imposing any additional charge on the Post-office Revenue. With a view to assist the Government in forming a correct judgment on the complaints made in Parliament, that the recommendations of the Parliamentary Commissioners of Inquiry had not been suffi ciently attended An, and for the purpose of introducing such an amelioration of the system as it may possibly admit, Lord Mel= bourne and the Chancellor of the Exchequer suggest that the Postmaster-General should be requested to consider the subject, in co-operation with the Earl of Mulgrave and a Member of this Board, and they propose that Mr. Vernor Sinith be requested to associate himself with the Earl of Mulgrave and the Postmaster- General in the inquiry. My Lords concur in the suggession of Viscount Melbourne and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and are pleased to desire that a copy of this Minute be transmitted to the Postmaster-General and to the Earl of Mulgrave, requesting them to undertake the in quiry, in co-operation with Mr. Vernon Smith, who has expressed his readiness to join their Lordships. Copy of TREASURY MINUTE, dated 17th Feb., 1835. Read a Report, dated the 15th December last, from the Mar quis of Conyngham, the Earl of Mulgrave, and Mr. Vernon ' Smith, who were appointed by a Minute of this Board of the 19th August last, to inquire into the mode of conducting t'he business of the Post-office department, in which report the Commissioners ex plain the plan upon which they intended to proceed in the inquiry, and offer some observations and suggestions on the subject. Read also a letter from the same Commissioners, dated 15th De cember last, stating that as the Commission which this Board ap pointed to inquire into the Post-office emanated from Lord Mel bourne and the late Chancellor of the Excheque=r, as expressed in the Minute communicated to them, they have thought proper, upon the change of Government, to put an end to the investigation in which they were occupied. In that letter the late Commissioners express their satisfaction with the unremitting attention, clearness, and ability with which Colonel Yorke performed the dutics of Secretary to their Commis sion, and recommend that he should receive the sum of two hun dred pouncg, as a remuneration for his services, and for the ex penses to which he was subject in consequence of changing his resi dence to the metropolis. Sir Robert Peel refers the Board to the objects which the Trea sury had in view when this Commission was formed, as they ap pear on their Lordships' Minute, and recommends that the in quiry should proceed ; and Sir Robert Peel having communicated with the Earl of Roslyn, Viscount Lowther, and Viscount Stor mont, proposes that a letter should be written to their Lordships, requesting them to continue this inquiry. My Lords concur in the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, and de sire that a letter may be written to the Earl of Rosslyn, Lord Low ther, and Lord Stormont, requesting them to proceed with the in quiry, and acquainting them that My Lords will direct a copy of the Minute of 19th August last to be sent to their Lordships, toge ther with the Report of the late Commissioners, and all the papers which accompanied that Repert ; and My Lords request to be made acquainted with the name of the gentleman whom they wish to em ploy a> their Secretary. Let the copy of the Minute and the other papers, be sent ac cordingly. Let an Extract of this Minute, be sent to the Postmaster- General. HINTS FOR MR. HUME ON THE NAVY. ESTIMATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. I see the Navy Estimates are to be brought forward on. Friday next, permit me through the medium of your Journal, to draw the attention of the able and indefatigable Member for Mid dlesex, to the following abstract of the number of Officers belonging to that branch of the Service, on the Ist July, 1815, Just at the close of the last great To ICY WA F., when we had 4112 Sail in Commission, out of a Total of 871 Sail ; and at the present period, on the Ist January last, after twenty years of profound peace ; in order, by comparing the two, that we may see what progress has been made in reducing the public expenditure; particularly in the most useless branch—the Dead Weight : Rank. Admiral of Fleet Admirals Vice-Admirals Rear-Admirals Retired Admirals Flag Officers July Jan. Oct. 1915 1835 Decrease Increase 1830 1 1 0 0 2 67 34 33 0 58 72 49 23 0 66 76 60 16 0 70 34 30 4 0 32 250 174 0 228 Retired Captains 37 9 '2B 0 12 Captains Commanders 797 858 0 61. 907 Retired Commanders Second Class.. . 1749 1922 90 263 1838 Lieutenants Masters , .... 675 431 194 0 547 Physicians c a. Surgeons Assistant ditto Pursers 4 963 603 360 0 637 Chaplains Dispensers &Hos- petal Masters...) a Third Class.. 6756 5265 1492 1 5772 Grand Totals 8755 7361 1653 264 7838 Decrease of Officers in twenty years only-1394 In July, 1815, we had 462 Sail in Commission, out of 871 Sa i of all sorts, with 29 Rag Officers, 196 Captains, 191 Commanders, 1,165 Lieutenants, 295 Masters, 372 Surgeons, 333 Assistant- Surgeons, and 381 Pursers afloat, or employed therein. In January, 1835, we had only 173 Sail in Commission (Packets included), out of 543 Sail of all sorts on the list, with 9 Flag Officers, 51 Captains, 56 Commanders , 362 Lieutenants, 82 Mas ters, 92 Surgeons, 175 Assistant-Surgeons, and 93 Pursers, em ployed therein afloat. If we add the increase of 263 Commanders from July, 1815, to January, 1835, as we ought, to the Lieutenants from which they were taken, we shall find that in October, 1830, there was hardly any reduction in that class of officers ; and in the latter period of Whig Government, for four years, we have only saved the number of 207 Commanders and Lieutenants. I have oniitted in both cases the Officers employed in Dock-yards, the' Ordinary, Hospitals, and Coast-guard, and other extra services, civil or military, as the Navy List of 1815 does not regularly return them all. The relative proportions would be nearly equal ; and the Coast-guard is only a Revenue duty, and paid in that depart ment. _ _ _ Enough is, however, to be found in the above list, to afford matter for the most painful reflection. It ceases to be matter of wonder that our debt is stationary, and our financial situation as bad as ever, _when our military establishments, as far as respects the officers, remain, after twenty years of peace, nearly as large as they were in war ! For the very small reduction that has taken place in the Flag Officers, Captains, Lieutenants, and inferior ranks (since October, 1830) we are indebted solely to the Whig Government— to the much abused Whigs. That your readers may judge of this, I give in a fifth column, the several numbers of each rank, from the Navy List of October, 1830, just before the turn-out of the Tories, and the accession of the Whig party in November, 1830; from which it will be observed that in 16 years there was only a decrease of 22 Flag Officers, 40 Captains, 207 Lieutenants, 128 111 asters, 109 Sur geons, 200 Assistant Surgeons, and 326 Pursers—while there was an increase of 129 Commanders, and of 9 Chaplains. In short, the only rank in the Navy, which at all corresponds with the wants of the Service, after 20 years of profound peace and opportunity for reduction, is that of Assistant Surgeon, of which rank there are 235 on the List, of whom about 200 are employed, leaving only 85 Idlers—a proportion unusually small for our service ! By way of contrast, I add the state of that useful Corps, the Royal Marines, at the same periods, viz.: on the Ist July, 1815, and Ist January, 1835. This statement shews a reduction of 514 out of 1,353 Officers, that we had at the peace. of 1815 ; leaving only 437, or little more than half of the remainder, on half-pay, beside 64 Officers, retired on full-pay. This unusual effort of economy in an English Government, can only be accounted for on the fact, that the Marines is not an aristocratic Corps, like the Army and Navy, and that no scions of nobility or boroughmongers delight therein. For the same reason, all the serious reductions in the Navy for the past 20 years, have fallen on the Masters, Surgeons, Assistant-Surgeons, and Pursers, ranks wit ich our nobles and gentry eschew. Hence all the real reduction has fallen upon those proscribed cla:ses. Royal Marines.

The few that are on full pay, adds but little to the expense of officers ! Never was a generous and confiding nation, so shamefully used as England has been, during the last 20 years of peace. When the Army Estimates are about to come on, I will send you a similar statement of the Army Reductions in Officers since the peace of 1815.—1 am, Sir, your humble servant, __ A TAX PAYER.
