TI MES. —Private letters from Philadelphia speak of the acts of the extra Session of Congress in terms of satisfaction, not so much from the merits of the mea sures that have become law, as from the fact that they have set many agitated questions at rest. Thus the Land Bill, though there are different opinions as to the advantage it will bring to the States, has settled a ques tion with which every succeeding Congress has been oc cupied, and the Bankrupt Bill disposes of one that, has been in agitation for 30 yea-s. The Revenue Bill, being but a temporary measure, is still expected to be a fruitful source of discussion at the regular Session of Congress. In these letters a wonder is expressed that the price of " United States' Bank" Shares is really so high as it is, since the notes are at 30 discount, and it cannot be expected that the stock will bear any thing. The difficulty may be solved by the circumstance alluded to yesterday, that the stock has but a value as an instrument of speculation, which has no reference to its intrinsic worth. The ruin caused by the failure of this infamous institution has been dreadful, and it has fallen upon those who were totally unable to bear it. Many persons in Philadelphia are described as having for many years lived on the dividends as their only pro perty, and these are now thrown into a state of taster destitution.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. spond:ng language on the subject, which must necessarily have the effect of weakening those resources and diminishing that strength.—(Hear.) He perfectly admitted there was a difficulty, but he begged leave utterly, distinctly, shortly, emphatically— in - Words which, being short, would be more easily understood— to deny that they (the late Government) had delivered over the country, or either the revenue, or any other in terest, in a dangerous or embarrassed state to those who had succeeded them.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord , said that some decided, vigorous, efficient, and c er t a i n system was necessary; and then he came down with this scheme, which had unquestionably all the defects which he had attributed,to their's (the late Government's), and.. which particularly had this additional defect, that it added to the funded debt of the country, with out making provision for the interest, which . he (Lord M.) remembered, was the objection urged by the Noble Duke (the Duke of Wellington) to their funding Exchequer Bills in 1838 or 1839, he forgot which.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble Duke then - said that the measure was right, bin that they should have made provision for the interest. Yet now he was a party to a proceeding which was unquestionably liable to the same objection. He (Lord Melbourne) did not know that the measure taken by the Government was wrong, but they had no business to adopt it after the language they had held, and after the address they had carried up to the foot Of the Throne.—(Hear, hear.) What were they - waiting for'? If The flounces of the coinr- • try were involved in immense difficulty—if there wits this difficulty, this urgent necessity, surely they ought to take them into their immediate consideration..—(Cheers.) What had they got to con sider ? There was no mystery in it, no dif ficulty, but to decide -on one thing or the other. The expenditure exceeded the income, and they must either raise the income or diminish the expenditure. lie was afraid they would not be able to do the latter in the present state of the country. He thought it likely that extraordinary. expenditure would be necessary. He trusted that it would not be. • But the Noble Lcrd opposite said he was convinced that occasions for- increased expenditure would arise. What then did he propose to do ? He asked for time. What ! was he looking for the philo sopher's stone?—(Hear.) Was he seeking to discover the transmutation of metals ?—(Renewed laughter.) If so, it was perfectly reasonable to ask for time, and he was ready to give time.—(A laugh.) But as that was not the case, he thought there was no reason for taking so long a time to consider measuresso urgently required. The Noble Duke opposite thought the lateness of the Session and the improbability of pryeuring an adequate attendance, were sufficient reasons for the postponement; but he The Bill was then read a second time. It then went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. • Lord BROUGHAM said he would call the attention of the House to-morrow to the subject of the Stave Trade, on which be feared there was much misapprehen sion existing. He considered the subject of too much im portance to allow it to remain over till next Session. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the House went into Committee on the Poor-law Commis sion Continuance Bill. • HOUSE OF LORDS, Oct. 4. • The LOI,D, CHANCELLOR took his seat on the "Wool sack at Five o'Clock.

The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved in contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. Among others, the following important advantages may be enumerated : DIRECTORS CHOSEN BY THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Benjamin Bingley I Mr. John Ferguson Mr. Joseph Morgan. AUDITORS. Charles Hill, Esq.

The Company transact, business in every department of Life. and Firs Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from Dunstable, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws.

Lord CLIFFORD presented a petition from an indi vidual named Peter Gordon, complaining of the usage he had received from the East India Company. The Noble Lord then referred to the want of Roman Catholic priests among the Catholic soldiers in India. He might state as an instance of the consequences of that want that an Irish regiment in India had become completely undisciplined, until a clergyman of their own religious persuasion had come among them, who, by his exertions soon restored them to a state of perfect dis cipline.—(A laugh.) The Noble Lord then proceeded, in a tone which rendered him inaudible in the gallery, to refer to the statements he had made in a former de bate relative to the treatment of certain Catholics in India. • Premium per Cent. per Annum payable during A,e • First Five Second Fi‘e Third Five Fourth Five Remainder Years.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as al so by th e i nsert i on of several new and higly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; cf the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily . occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. \%' e feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of so c i e t y b y w h om the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.

A sum far mo re th an equa l to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a -bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. .For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, en w hi c h, as we ll as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate pay men' of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the as s urance o f 1001., for the ole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits zel 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . ........... 214 3 ... 3 1 3 50 • 4 3 4 ... • For short periods the promiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

THE STANDARD NOVELS.—The new num ber, now just published, of this unrivalled series of modern fictions is " Gilbert Gurney," the best and most popular novel of the late Theodore Hook, the prince of wits and humourists. "Gilbert Gurney" owes its pre eminence among the brilliant works of this admirable writer to the fact that in its scenes are embodied many of the strange passages in the life of the author,—pas sages which are more exciting, more irresistible in their laugh-producing properties, and more interesting, be cause . true, than any which the wittiest imagination could conceive. The experience of such a man as Hook, whose society was coveted in the festive hours of the eccentric and the great, must be richer in various exhibition of character, and in the ele ments of fun, than can be expected from any other man. " Gilbert Gurney " accordingly will become universally popular in the new and cheap form it is destined permanently to take as an English classic in " The Standard Novels." It will be prominent in a collection wherein it is an honour for a novelist to ap pear ; and it will occupy a distinguished post among the masterpieces of Cooper, Bulwer, Marryatt, James, Hope, Miss Edgeworth, Godwin, Hood, Mrs. Trollope, Moiler, Miss Austen, and other of the great geniuses of the age. This series may, indeed, be confidently ap - pealed to 'as proof of the triumphant faculty now exist ing in England for this branch of inventive literature ; a talent which, in variety, depth of passion, and prodi gality of incident, surpasses even the Augustan age of Fielding and Smollett. For where amongst our ancestors shall we seek for the breathless interest existing in such stories as the American tales of Coopes*, or the splendid Eastern fictions of Morier, or the passionate and highly-wrought romances of Bulwer, or the truth and keen discernment and pathos of Miss Edgeworth, or the inexhaustible spirit, wit, and fun of Hook, or the pictu• resque grandeur of James, or the life-like representation of society by Miss Austen, or the robust drollery and' strong dramatic effect of Marryatt, or the searching satire of Mrs. Trollope? Life, in short, in all its . phases, whe ther of good or evil, of tragedy or comedy, is exhibited in never-dying colours by these distinguished writers, whose works constitute the powerful attraction of " The Standard Novels," at once the best and cheapest collec tion of fiction ever given to the world. THE PARISH CLERK, EDITED BY THEO DORE HoOte, Esq.—Few persons have such store of amusement at their command as that important func tionary known as the Parish Clerk. He is sure to know everybody's history; and the insight into the affairs of the whole neighbourhood the Devil on Two Sticks al lowed his associate by the extraordinary means he had recourse to, the Clerk of the Parish possesses by merely referring to his own 1 - ,collections. Wisely, therefore, has the clever author of " Peter Priggins, the College Scout " (a work so full of the most graphic sketches of character as to have created the impression that the editor, Theodore Hook, had left traces there of " his fine Roman hand " too prominent to be mistaken), sought the assistance of one of these parochial magnates, and as the scene of his avocations is a fishing, or rather smug gling village on the coast of Sussex, the reader may an ticipate in the forthcoming work (published under the same auspices), entitled " The Parish Clerk," the most striking narratives that ever proceeded from Mr. Hook's able pen—in which daring adventure, romantic interest, and characters equally amusing and original, are said to be the chief features. NEWLY -INVENTED SPECTACLES. - -The arti ficial aid afforded t o th e S i ght by Lenses, is one of the most valu able gi ft s deriv e d f rom science, and it is indeed of vital importance that theadoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision, should be regu. lated on proper principles. Messrs. S. and B. Solornons, 39, Al. bemarle-strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of E ng l and, having devoted their whole lives to this branch of Science, and their long extensive practice have enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction, which have gained universal approbation. Immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, either by slay or candle-light, that mist and dnllness which appear before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and' original state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is not the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex. treme cases of deafness. Those valuable inventions have also gained the Patronage of the Royal Family, and the unqualified approbation of above four hundred of the principal members of the medical profession, and numerous individuals of high distinction who have been greatly benefited by their use. —No connexion with persona of the same name. 32, Albemarle-street, opposite the York Hotel aed 76, icing Wainaltiftet,, *siX of rupii,sg. been rt words mmade e in i n r e t h fe e r e N AVAL PROMOTIONS. The Earl of MINTO said he ink anxious to say's f i n r c o e u s t a o f m o c t o io m n m w o h n i s c!i n h d a d w r h e i r h n e he o h t t i t o d n in beenqumesatdioe n thought might b e i n j ur i ous to the character of the late Government as regar d ed the administration of naval affairs. The b l y v t as i f i for r latea r e Board r narod o which f th f e prom otiol, Admiralty.s Is was not ' agreed to—first, because it could not to t r e. the a s s object ertlh e (a charges (as u , e which understood h a d madeob Noble T lead to any benefi c i a l result ; and secondly, because the been information re quire d was already before the spublic— tl a late e Therewas Government. first, the ordinary a 4 g o : r ti d n ) s t ‘ the v Lords of th e Ad m i ralty. Complaints had beena made of the' large n um b er of promotions which had taken pla ce s h ortly before the resigna tion was o f t lr the kinds. in which, o n a vacancy occurring by death, an officer was promoted t o fill t h e vacant rank. .The second kind promotion case, of promotion was that which occurred under flag-officers. There was a third kind of promotion by special minute of the Board, in consideration of circumstances which, in the judgment of-the Board, required :atoll an expres sion of their approbation, e ,Now, withafeePeet. to the first kind of promotion, to which hVield referred; he was not at all responsible for the amount, although he was so for the distribution. With respect to the second, lie was neitleer responsible for the amount nor for the distribution. 11 W 1 respect to the third kind, he acknowledged himself responsible both for the amount and fur the distribution: It was perfectly true that there had been of late an unusual amount of promotion.—(Cries of " Hear.") Il e was sure that their Lordships would not wish hies to enter into the details of each particular ease. He thought that would be to establish a bad precedent. He would only say, as regarded that port: oa of th e p romot i on, f or the amount of which he was not responsible, that he was sure it was justified by the conduct and character of those officers on whom it Was conferred. With regard to the persons who were promoted from mates to lieutenants, he would say without going through their names, that twenty-five persons were ad vanced to the rank of lieutenants, who had beets in the service from seventeen to nineteen years. He was anxious to state this to show that there was no disposition on the part of the Admiralty to promote young men, to the exclusion of the old, who had served for many years. With regard to special promotions, it may be thought necessary that he should go more into detail. There were four officers. promoted froth the rank of commander to that. of captain, who had been employed on spe cial service. The first of these was Commander Crosier, who had the command of two ships in the expeditions of Captain Ross. And their Lordships would recol lect the great and important success of his first voyage of discovery. His services had been duly appreciated at the Admiralty. Captain Ross stated he was indebted to the officers and crews of his vessels for the success of that expedition, and he made it a request that his only reward would be the promotion of Capt. Crosier, who commanded the Terror, and some of his other companions in that expedition. The next was a person in whom he (Lord Minto) could not say that he did not feel a deep interest—the Hon. Charles Elliot, the commander of the Hazard—but he could say that his promotion was not the consequence of his being at the head of the Admiralty, but that he had been warmly and strongly recommended for promotion. The next who was promoted was Commander Granville, and the fourth was Commander John Parker, both of whom had been strongly recommended for pro motion in consequence. of their services and ability He next came to the cases of these officers who lied been promoted from the rank of Lieutenant to that of Commander. These cases were nine in number. The first case was that of Commander Scutt, an officer who had been employed on two different occasions in the Turkish fleet, who had been particularly recommended by the Turkish Governinent to her• Majesty for some mark of her approbation. Now, it was certainly not according to precedent to promote officers in con sequence of the recommendation of Foreign Governments, and he (Earl Minto) had felt great doubts as to the expediency of complying with the recominenda- Lion, but when lie considered the services which that officer had rendered on the coast Of Syria, and that the servicee rendered to the Turkish GOverment were rendered to a Government with which England was in close alliance, he certainly had thought it expedient and right to promote that officer. Ile would only state, in additieurchnt'Cofainiander Scotkewas -of it i roily strengly opposed to him (Earl M.) both i r le geileaei and local politics. The next cases were those of Lieutenant Edward Stop ford and Lieutenant Lloyd who were in the Syrian campaign, the next was Lieutenant Make, and the next Mr. Sherningham. There was also Lieutenant Fan shawe who was nearly connected with Sir Robert Stop ford, and considering the great services of that officer, he thought he was justified in the promotions he had made. The last officer on the list was Lieutenant Lowe, who was nearly related to Sir Thomas Hastings. Before he (the Earl of Minto) left the Board, lie placed on record a minute of the valuable services of Sir Themes Hastings, in perfecting the system of gunnery in the navy. On his (Sir Thomas nesting's) recommendation he (the Earl of Minto) promoted Mr. Moorman from the office of Senior Gunnery Mate to the rank of Lieutenant. The concluding observations of the Noble Earl were made in so low a tone of voice as to be quite inaudible in the gallery. On the motion that the, Exchequer Bills Funding Bill be read a second time, THE LATE AND PRESENT ADMINIS TRATIONS. Viscount MELBOURNE said he did lint rise for the purpose of making any objection to the'Bill. or to the manner in which it was intended to carry itsprovisions into effect, but it appeared to him that he Government having come to the determination that they would not take into consideration the financial state of the country, that they should not take into consideration its commercial diffi culties, that they should not adopt thoSe.measures which were proposed for that purpose by the late Government, or produce tiny similar measures of their own—as soon as that determination was known it vt as impossible but that some such course as the present should have been adopted. Knowing that there was a deficit in the revenue, and knowing that there was no time to consider the question of taxation, the only course that could be adapted under the cir cumstances was the present, and he did not know that any particular objection could be taken to the form in which it was done. The only objection was that it had failed—that they had not succeeded— that they had not raised their money—that they had not funded their Exchequer Bills:—(Hear, hear). He was certainly the last man Who would say anything likely to • produce any effe c t u p on th e M oney M ar k et, and he was very unlikely to say anything that would be calculated to produce that effect. Considering the language which the Government had held with regard to, the finances of the country and the state of the money' market, he thought • . they should have taken care not to have failed. They should have taken care to haire succeeded, and even if they had made some worse bargain or made worse terms than the late Government—and be rather feared they were actuated by some such motives—(Hear, and a laugh)— they should have endeavoured to carry their point, and it appeared to him that they were actuated by very short sighted and injudicious motives. At the same time, ho was not its the least degree objecting to the measure, but he wished to call the attention of their Lordships to what might be considered the manifesto or basis of the motion which had led to the change in the Government. That was characterised by his Noble Friend as a very able and eloquent speech. He (Viscount Melbourne) admitted that it was a very able and eloquent one, but even admitting the whole of that to be true, it was utterly insufficient to maintain the super structure of the vote that was founded upon it. He did not deny its eloquence, but there were many able and eloquent speeches which had. been productive of great inconvenience afterwards. It was said that the late Government had never ,go verned the country in a fair, manly, or straight forward manner—they were denounced for tam pering with the finances of the' country ; but he would 'ask whether those who made such iarges against them had a right to come forward with a mea sure of so completely temporary a nature— nay, w i th a measure so objectionable that even the Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that the me: sure was a mere temporary one, and ought not to form a precedent? He (Viscount Melbourne) did not object to the measure, only he thought it was inconsistent with the arguments used on the "No Confidence" motion If they were determined on the course they had pur sued, then they were not justified in that motion. Th ey might have had the vote of No Confidence without any argument—(Laughter) — they were sure of the vote, but they had no right to call the attention of the Par. liament and the country to the deficit. In the late Go vernment it was quite consistent because they were pre pared to propose measures for curing that state of things, but it was not fair of the present Government, considering tho arguments used by them against the measures of the late Government. On various occasions within the last two years they had heard much in both Houses of Parliament of the necessity of relieving the finances of the country from the immense difficulties in which they were , involved. That language had been repeated lately in the other House of Parliament by those who now filled the highest situations and possessed the highest authority in this country. He (Lord Melbourne denied it. He said it was not correct, that it was not fair to the finances of the country 'to say so. He (Lord Melbourne) sai d the finances of the country were not in immense difficulties. —(Hear, hear.) He said it was an overstatement of an exag geration. He perfectly admitted that the ex penses of the country in some years exceeded the income—that the financial situation of the country de manded serious consideration, to be looked at seriously, and to be energetically met; but he said they were not involved in immense difficulties, and looking at the ge neral State of the country, the amount of its revenue, its resources. and its strength, he could not conceive any .course more unjust or i.4 l lm ) litig than to hold cles. 'Lord :Melbourne) did not think those considerations Ought to have any weight. As for the attend ance' if the Noble Duke would gi v e n o tic e that he intended to bring in a law relating to the impor tation of come he might rely on it there would be no lack of attendance in both Houses of Parliament.—(A laugh.) He (Lord Melbourne) was not so great a theo rist in finance as others, nor was he so much afraid as others of the consequences of this measure, but ho thought that, after the language which had been held be the present Ministers, and the important votes which they had procured, it was such a measure as they were not entitled to propose.—(" Hear, hear," from the Op pesition.) The Earl of RIPON was always amused when his Noble Friend (Lord Melbourne) chose to be jocular ; and he was• not the loss so when his jocularity was di rected against him (Lord, R.). He would not go into a justification of a speech he had made on a former evening. and to which his Noble Friend (Lord Melbourne) made no reply at the time.—(Ministerial cheers.) But his Noble Friend seemed to be in great doubt whether he disapproved of the measure or not. "He hints a doubt, and hesitates dislike."—(A laugh.) Lord MELBOURNE- 7 I did not say I disapproved of the measure at all.—(A laugh.) The Earl of RIPON—But there was ono thing to which his Noble Friend did object, and in very strong language too. He objected that the measure had been a failure. Now he (Lord Ripon) must say on the other hand that it was no failure. His Right lion. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not raised all the money which was at first intended, but he had raised (as we understood) nearly a million more than was required to cover the deficit. Well, then, he said that they were not justified in having recourse to this, which, of course, no being could deny was a temporary expedient, on account o f amend ment which they introduced into the Address. What was it, he wished to know, that called the attention of the House to the subject? Not their amendment, but the speech from the Throne. The Government were bound to be prepared with measures, having had the whole year to propose -- them. But, was an individual Member of the House to be precluded from moving an amend ment unless he was prepared to strike off at once the whole system of financial policy ? The idea was absurd, and no one knew that it was so better than his Noble Friend himself.—(Hear, hear.) They were not liable, therefore, to his Nobl e Friend's reproach. If they had undertaken—coming into office at the very beginning of September —if they had undertaken to propound then a whole scheme of finance, and a revision from beginning to end of the whole commercial . system of the country, the nation would have considered them as fools and madmen. It was' very easy for persons who were not practically acquainted with such matters to make such a mistake ; but nobody knew better than his Noble Friend that you could not touch one part of the financial system, or one great commercial inte rest, without indirectly and most seriously af fecting all the rest ; that you must not take ,an isolated part of the scheme, but that you must take a full, collective, and comnAm-sense view of the whole. His Noble Friend knew that the science of Govern ment, whether legislative or executive, was, in fact, neither more nor less than a perpetual struggle with difficulties. They might get over them, they might evade them, but they were perpetually called to meet them; and there was no surer way of being overwhelmed . by them, than to rush with breathless haste into the adoption of great and extensive schemes without mature consideration. That was, in his mind, a sufficient justification of the course they had taken, and to have proposed any other just then would have been neither more nor less than perfect madness. And when his Noble Friend talked of their having resorted to a loan, he thought that that was no part of the plan of the late Government. Why, he knew perfectly well that if his own scheme had been carried into effect, he could nut have met the deficiencies of the year without a loan. The whole amount which he proposed to raise, the defi ciency being 2,400,000/., by the doubtful scheme of an alte ration of the taxes, was 1,700,0001. He must, therefore, have had a loan to the same amount. He (the Earl of Ripon) defied his Noble Friend, or any man of business, to show that if that scheme had been carried into effect, it would have been possible, between this and the beginning of April, 1842, to have made up the deficiency without resorting to a loan. He should observe that he had been much surprised at the speech of his Noble Friend. To borrow. an expression from his Noble . Friend, it came upon him ". like a clap of thunder." lie should npeat in conclusion that if they had pursued the course which his Noble Friend seemed to think they were bound. to pursue, they would have abandoned their duty— they would have deceived the people, and that was the very last thing or which a Government should be guilty. The Duke of WELLINGTON returned his thanks to the Noble Viscount for his suggestion of a scheme for producing a large attendance of Noble Lords in the House.—(Laughter.) He had but one answer to give the Noble Viscount, which was that he would never an nounce to the House en intention which he did not en tertain.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He had no intention of bringing forward a scheme for an alteration of the Corn-laws, and he had not the pow er o f d o i ng so . H e had not sufficiently considered the subject to be enabled to bring forward a scheme for an alteration of those laws, and he therefore declined to announce any intention to the House upon the matter. He therefore begged leave to suggest to the Noble Viscount, if he wished to collect a number of Peers, that he - should propose some other scheme. The Noble Viscount had likewise adverted to something which he (the Duke of Wellington) had said three or four years ago, respecting the funding. .of Exchequer Bills—a measure brought forward by the Government, and at that time it being part of the an nual system of finance. But it should be remembered that the Government of the present day had to adopt a system of finance at the termination of the Session of Parliament, there being at that time a deficit in the - Budget, as announced by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, of 2,500,000/. But then 2,500,0001. was by no means the entire amount, although a large item of the accumulated arrear to be provided for by some means or other. He understood that in addition to that sum, when his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Treasury came forward to examine and see what the real expendi ture of the country had been, and what was the real demand upon the Treasury at the present moment, he found that with the demands from the Colonies, from the East, from Canada, and elsewhere, there was a very large sum which had not been taken into account at all in estimating the Budget.. These items were, there fore, to be added to the 2,500.000/. There were other engagements also which involved additional expenses, and all those matters must be taken into consideration before any Government could pretend to come forward to the country and say what would be the permanent expenses of the State. The means of supplying arrears and of the future expenses of the country would demand their entire attention and consideration before they could be laid before the House in the shape of any specific measures. He (the Duke of Wellington) did not now mean to draw their Lordships' attention. to those matters, but if the Noble Viscount attacked Ministers they must be expected to defend themselves.- • Lord BROUGHAM hoped that their Lordships would, during the few days that should intervene be tween the present time and . the prorogation of Parlia ment, apply their minds to the two subjects which had been particularly brought under their consideration. He trusted that the Ministry would come prepared next Ses sion with measures on such important matters as the general state of the commercial policy ' to which his Noble Friend at the head of the Board of Trade re ferred, and that to which his Noble Friends who spoke, last alluded, including the trade in corn and general visions. . Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he would not follow the Noble Lord through the . details into which he had entered—details which he (Lord Ellenborough) did not really understand. He could assure the Noble Lork however, that he had by the mail of that day, taking the earliest opportunity in his power, sent out orders to the Governor-General of India, and the Governor of Madras, to transmit to him the fullest information relative to the subject to which the Noble Lord had formerly referred. He could not refrain from expressing his opinion upon one point, to which the Noble Lord had that night alluded, and he begged to state his belief that there had been at no time any Irish regiment in India in want of a Catholic priest. Lord ELLENBOROUGII moved for certain returns connected with slavery in India.—Ordered. • Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Oct. 4. There having been but twenty-four Members present at Four o'Clock, the House adjourned till to-morrow. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS: FEOM THE DAILY TAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Westminster Review says that the policy of the Liberal party is " simply to submit with as good a grace as possible to what cannot be helped, and to employ a season of comparative repose in preparation for the time of action. It would be useless and mis chievous to attempt to strive against the stream. The feeling is, let by-gones be by-gones.' Sir Robert Peel,' it is said, ' should have fair play ; 'give him time to consider his measures ; and no matter whether the re quest be reasonable or not, from our knowledge of the men and their principles—time must be given. Re formers may and ought to avail themselves of every opportunity that presents itself for calling attention to the state of the country, and the measures necessary for its relief ; every means should be taken to strengthen the impression made on the public mind in favour of com mercial freedom . ; but the present is not the time for attack, and all attempts to harass or impede the operations of the new Government, will only weaken the party making them, and cause them to be con demned by the public as impracticable theorists." " Impracticable theorists," indeed, they must be, who could think of harassing or impeding the actual " opera tions of .the new Government." But we hope we shall not pass for " impracticable theorists," when we say that it appears to us that very just subjects for attack have already been given by the real or affected ignorance which has been displayed by the most prominent mem bers of the present Administration, either of any bad effects at all, or at least of the worst effects of the Corn laws. If those effects have really escaped them, it is time they were better instructed. If they have - not escaped them, it affords no hopeful presage of their in tentions that they choose to show not the slightest con sciousness of their existence. In either case it must be proper to forewarn the public that here are state-doctors, who have regularly been called in, and touched the much-insisted-on honorarium, yet who overlook the most marked symptoms of the patient's disease, while they assert complacently the absence of other symptoms, far less decisive of its character than those they pass, igno rantly or wilfully, sub silentio. COURIER—The speech of John Quincy Adams in the American Congress on the subject of the impri sonment of M'Leod, and the arrogation of the rights of a separate sovereignty by New York, dis tinct from and independent of that of the Union quoad foreign states, was worthy of that distinguished publicist and statesman. The arrogant pretensions about States' rights, and Judge Cowan's distorted and intemperate interpretation of the law of nations, he tore into shreds and tatters. Nor was his com mendation of the pacific policy and enlightened views of Mr. Daniel Webster, the American Foreign Secre tary, less earnestly and disinterestedy delivered. These strong expressions of feeling and opinion may be ac cepted, we trust, as of good omen for the ultimate escape of the unfortunate BPLeod from the disgraceful issue to which he was so insolently consigned by the New York people. In justice to Mr. Fox, our Minister at Wash ington, it is but fair to rescue him from any implication in that disgraceful apathy by which the diplomacy of the late Foreign Secretary here has been so strikingly cha racterised in the course of the negotiations undertaken or suspended relative to. this untoward affair. The pub lished despatches of Mr. Fox suffice fully to exonerate him from any, the least, share in that connivance or acquiescence, craven as culpable, in the insulting as sertion of irresponsible authority, by the self-styled " empire State" of New York, .to which the manacled M`Leod owes his irons and twelve months' incarceration. The remonstrances of Mr. Fox, whilst left free to act of his own volition, against tho atrocious acts of the New York authorities, were couched in the manly, energetic language, well becoming the representative of the greatest of States and of Sovereigns, nad not,less beseeming in a functionary boasting the honoured name and of the lineage of one of the most celebrated of British orators and states men. STANDARD.—AII the higher officers .of the Irish Administration—all, in fact, whose opinions and temper can be supposed to influence the tendency of the Govern ment, have been changed, with the approbation of all par ties. This is an auspicious beginning; and is the good effect of such a beginning to be sacrificed by a jealous search fur opportunities for displacing subordinates who can exercise no power ? Would not such a jealous search, in fact, prove that a delusion had been at tempted by the higher appointments, and that sub stantially a system of retaliation is meditated ? As opportunities shall naturally arise, we are sure that Protestantism will not, as for the last ten years and more, constitute a bar to the favour of the Crown where merit and qualifications can be pleaded ; and equally sure we are that opportunities fur recog nising the claims of Roman Catholics will be anxiously looked for. Meanwhile the interests of all good men are best consulted by making as little change as possible. The present effect may be to disappoint some, but the Protestants of Ireland are not disappointed, as the electors of Sligo have said for them ; and with the dis • appointed few, we confess, that we have little sym pathy. We have it from the most sacred authority, that 1 ` no man can serve two masters, but that he will hate the one [whatever he may pretend], and serve the other ;" the truth is no where more manifest than in politics. No man can serve public principles and his own interests at the same time. A man may take an office with consistency and honour, but we question much the purity of intention of one who expects a place, and still more of one who labours by political activity to earn a place. The only politicians entitled to respect or confidence are they who fling behind them all considera tions of personal interest when they enter the arena. THE CEPHALOSCOPE.—Mr. John Harrison Curtis has recently invented a modification of Laennec's stethoscope, to which he has given the above name, and which is peculiarly applicable in the investigation and diagnosis of certain diseases of the organ of hearing, which are at present involved in some obscurity. The instrument consists of a cylinder of wood, about eight i inches long, with'an ear-piece in ivory at the uppor end, and a large concave oval piece at the other extremity, so constructed as to cover and completely enclose the external ear of the patient. The concavity of this last piece collects the sounds, whether normal or abnor mal, which are heard within the organ, and transmits them through a tube to the ear of the examiner, who, by continual practice, will be enabled to discriminate the various sounds, just as the stethoscopist distinguishes those heard in the chest. This instrument, it is consi dered, will be of service in cases of tinnitus aurium, and affections of the Eustachian tube and tympanic cavity.-- Ziterary Gazette. THE CENSUS.--A general return of the popu lation of the kingdom , has been presented to Parliament by th e Registrar-General of Births and Deaths, which the House of Commons as ordered to be printed. HERALD.—Nothing positive has yet transpired fur ther than what was known before respecting the discre ditable operations in Brazilian Stocks by which the credit of that empire has been nefariously trifled with by un principled speculators who, by some means or other, be came cognisant of the fact that the funds were not forthcoming, or were kept back from some cause or other, for the payment of the dividends on the Ist current. It is, however, understood that some of the habitual dealers in Brazilian Stock on the Stock Exchange are on the scent of the parties who were the chief operators there, and, from the brokers employed, it surely cannot be impossible to get at the principal or principals, if more than one. In some quarters the party, for some affect to believe that one party only was concerned, is already guessed at with, it is conceived, tolerable certainty, but whether the guess be founded on any evidence more or less direct, or is merely presumed from former disreputable transactions of the same kind, and the consequently damaged character of the person, does not appear. The various loan agents of the Bra zilian Government will be and are no doubt anxious to forward the objects of inquiry, and to afford every in formation in their own power which may assist in arriving at practical results, for such is not only the straightforward course of their duty, but also it is a matter which would seemto concern their own interest and reputation, as capita lists and loan-contractors, that the credit and honour of Brazil should not be suffered :o be idly or fraudulently sported with by any party who by chance, or from some necessity real or imaginary, was so far admitted behind the scenes as to become cognisa.nt of what was going on, and therefore was aware of the probability of the non payment of the dividends. That the confidence of 'the Brazilian Minister has been abused, and the embarass ments of his position taken advantage of in some unscru pulous manner, there can be no question, whilst it will not be denied that the result is a " heavy blow and great discouragement" to the credit o f B raz il. POST.—The Morning Chronicle has systematically defended for some time past the injurious conversions at tempted to be forced by non-paying States on their fo reign creditors, and its countenance of such proceedings has, we do not hesitate to say, greatly damaged the in terests of a vast number of British subjects who have un fortunately allowed themselves to be ensnared in the toils laid for them by foreign tri c k t t 3 rs. Th e Chronicle has done its best within the last two or three weeks to justify the alleged attempt of Senor Rull to put the Treasury billholders of Spain upon a footing of equality with the holders of the ordi nary stock. We have shown over and over again that the special guarantees of the Treasury bill holders are such as to entitle their claims on the Spanish Government to be considered apart from those of the general mass of creditors. There are but too many in stances of broken faith in the. case of the ordinary claims of foreign bondholders on record, but any lapse as re gards Treasury paper was unknown until Spain and Por tugal gave us examples. Portugal has some amount standing over, as well as Spain, but Portugal has, at all events, done herself the credit, and foreigners the justice, to pay up the interest accruing upon her Treasury bills with the strictest punctuality. bpain has paid nothing, anti when it was given out that the Treasury bills issued through her Ambassador and Sir Jsaac Lyon Gold amid were to be confounded with the interminAble clainis of the general creditors in a three per (sent. scheme of capitalisation, and the act was loudly com plained of, the Morning Chronicle gratuitously stepped forward as an approver of the measure. What, then, must be the mortification of the conductors of that paper to find that Senor Rull, however much he may have laid himself open to censure by the long silence he has ob served upon a subject so vitally affecting the honoUr of his Administration, repudiates with expressions of scorn the advocacy they have volunteered of the criminal in tention ascribed to him ? Senor Rull has never, it seems, once contemplated any reduction of the amount of the claim of the Treasury billholders. ATTEMPT AT MURDER. The town of St. Alban's was yesterday morning the scene of ancther of those frightful crimes, which have of late followed each other in quick succession. A sol dier, named Jabez Kirk, belonging to the 34th regi ment, a party of which has been stationed in the town on the recruiting service for several months, had passed the night with a girl named Pearce, at the Boot public-house. Between six and seven the people in the house were alarmed by screams proceeding from the room in which the soldier and the girl were ; and, on proceeding to it, for the purpose of ascertaining the cause, discovered the young woman lying on the bed, covered with wounds, and bleeding copiously from the throat. Medical attendance was immediately procured, and the police sent for, by whom the soldier was removed in custody, and lodged in the station-house. On the sur geon proceeding to examine the victim of his brutal violeace, he discovered that the windpipe was severed, and tfult the smaller vessels were also lacerated, but that the main artery, by a slight diversion of the razor with which the deed was committed, had escaped, and thus immediate death was prevented. Part of the right ear was cut off, and the hands of the poor creature, which she had raised to ward off the attack of her intended murderer, were covered with gashes. Such is the state of exhaustion in which the poor creature lies, that not the slightest hope is entertained of her rallying. One of the borough Magistrates attended to take her deposi tion, but she could only answer by signs to the few questions which were put to her. The perpetrator of the horrid deed at once admitted to the police that he had inflicted the wounds on the girl, and that he intended to murder her ; and in tthe lock-up conducted himself with heartless disregard of the consequences likely to result both to himself and his victim. The girl's parents reside in the town, and the soldier is, we understand, from the neighbourhood of Coventry or Warwick, where he has a wile and family. The examination of the prisoner took place at twelve o'clock, but merely for the purpose of taking suf ficient evidence on which to remand him, until the fate of the girl is known. FRENCH COMMERCE. The following is extracted from a report of M. War temberg to the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce : " Our maritime commerce has not been treated by Spain as it ought to have been, according to the old con ventions between the countries. France has always re spected the existing stipulations as to the right of tonnage. Spain has only done so in appearance. A number of local rights have destroyed this equality, and it is in dispensable to remedy this false position, which the new tariff might tend to aggravate. A protestation ought to be made against the kind of exclusion effected by this tariff. to the navigation of our coast of the Mediter ranean and part of the ocean - the result of ' such a measure would be to transfer the whole commerce of Spain from France to other nations. Finally, the sprtaxes established upon merchandise imported into the - Spanish colonies by French ships are too high, and ought to be the object of the negotiations of our Go vernment. It is urgent that our sugar duties should be modified ; for, on account of our high surtax upon foreign sugar, the Spanish flag is gradually taking the place of ours for the im portation of our produce to Cuba and Porto . Rico. The change of the S panish customs line from the Ebro to the Pyrenees, is alsd detrimental to the sale of French colonial produce.
