The most advantageous Life Policy is that which entitles an Assured to participate in the whole of the mutual profits with out responsibility, and also affords him the security of a pro prietary Company. It forms a peculiar feature in the practice of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company, founded upon their Deed of Constitution, to grant such policies. To secure a definite sum at the least possible expense, and to be enabled to discontinue an assurance at a smaller sacrifice than by any other means, the assured may adopt the half pre mium credit system, and retain:one-half of the first Seven Years' Premiums, according to the following scale : Age: s.. d.

A DAVIS, Sponge Merchant and Brush Manufacturer, by Special Appointment to her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow ager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families of distinction, 33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin.. ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets , lea thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England. Families in the country can have a list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand. TO SHIPPERS, OWNERS, CAPTAIN is,and OTHERS Copies of Testimonials, Gratis, by all Agents.

The Emperor, however, after having appointed a commission of the Council of the Empire to inquire into the affair, presided over it himself, and cut short the discussion as to the usefulness of railways, by declaring that the railroad from St. Petersburg to Moscow was important for the welfare of the Empire, and should be made at the cost or the State. For the realization of this undertaking, the Empe ror has appointed two committees, one superior and general, and the other of execution. At the head of the first is the He reditary Grand Duke ; and a Prince of his family is a member of the other committee.

HOUSE OF LORDS, March 7 . The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack shortly before Five o'clock. Lord RLDESDALE presented a petition from Newry, praying that wheat might be admitted in preference to foreign flour. The Noble Earl also presented a petition from Wigan, praying that the provisions of the Act relative to licensed vic tuallers in London, preventing them from opening their house before one o'clock on Sundays, or of serving persons under a certain age, might be ex tended to the rural districts. LOAN SOCIETIES BILL. The NOBLk EARL moved the second reading of the Loan SoCieties Lord CAMPBELL trusted that the provisions of the Bill would 13extended to Scotland. ',Lord REDESPALE said if there was any objection to the seeond reading, the better course would be for him to ptistpone the second reading to a future day. The second reading was thon postponed, PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. Lord CAMPBELL presented petitions from several parts of Scotland, praying that the Bill with respect to the marriages of Dissenters, might i & declaratory Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice of his intention, on Friday next, to move for the appoint ment of a Committee to consider the law relative to Marriages in Ireland, with a view to make such altera tions as might be necessary. Lord CAMPBELL said, that all the petitions which he had presented were in favour of the Bill being made a declaratory and not an enact ing Act. Ile would take that opportunity of putting a question to the Noble and Learned Lord in reference to the subjects which had been alluded to in her Majesty's most gracious Speech from the Throne on the 3d February. In that Speech her Majesty was pleased to say that measures would be introduced to a men d u the Bankruptcy Laws, and to effect improvement in the Eccle siastical Courts. It was now the 7th of March, and no mention of either of those subjects had yet been made in either House of Parliament by any Mem ber of her Majesty's Government. He begged to ask whether any measure was in contemplation. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would introduce a measure on the subject of the Bankrupt Laws on Monday next ; and that a Bill in reference to the Ecclesiastical Courts was in preparation, and would be introduced in the other House of Parlia ment under the care of the Secretary of State. With respect to the Marriage Act he would move the second reading of the Bill on Thursday next, when it would be the proper time to discuss the principle. Numerous petitions, praying for an alteration of the law respecting mixed marriages in Ireland, were presented by Lord BROUGHAM and the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, from places in the counties of Down, Tyrone, Armagh, and Londonderry. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Southwark (as we understood), praying for the interference of Parliament for the prevention of burial grounds being formed in populous places. Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from a place in Ireland relative to Presbyterian mixed mar riages. ALGIERS. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he wished to put a question to the Noble Earl, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, upon a matter of consider able importance. There had appeared in the newspa pers of Paris and ,of this country reports of a conver sation which had taken place between the French Ambassador and the Noble Earl relating to the oc cupation of Algiers by the French. He was aware that it was best to refrain from expressing any opinion or sentiment respecting this transaction, in order to avoid the possibility of giving offence in any quarter. No person could be more desirous than himself that the best possible understanding should exist between this nation and the French people, and no person could be more alive to the danger and in convenience that would arise to both countries and to - Europe in general, from even the slightest tem porary estrangement. But as between individuals, so between Governments, a good understanding should always be Maintained with respect to the matter, he thought it was best to ascertain the fact, because it was a matter of much importance, and had been made public in the press ; and he wished to know whether it was true that her Majesty's Government had permitted this country to be committed, as had been stated by the papers ? He had heard two different versions of the conversation. He would not quote the words attributed to the No ble Earl, but it had been reported by the press of this country, that the first Minister of the Crown h a d s t ated that there was no difference in the two expressions. True, the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the Government did say that there was no substantial difference between the two versions, but from this opinion he (the Noble Marquis) had the mis fortune to differ. H e considered there was a N t ' h e e ry tw w o ers id v o wide and important diff erence b e t ween .—_(Hear, hear.) The first version led to the impression that the Noble Earl, in conversa tion with the French Ambassador, rather avoided going into the subject of Algiers, and de clined, on the part of his Government, ex pressing any feeling or opinion under existing cir cumstances ; but the, other version made the Noble Earl give, on the part of Great Britain, a posi tive and direct acquiescence to the permanent occupa tion and assumption of sovereignty by France in Al giers, and the country overrun by the French. He (the Noble Marquis) thought it not at all likely that the Queen's Minister could have so com mitted the Government and the country to such a step without 'first communicating with Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) The question, there fore, which he had to put to the Noble Earl was, whe ther, on the part of her Majesty's Government; he had had any communication with the French Ambas sador about the government and sovereignty of Al sileneee:pirtewssaesd,togiers, and the territory occupied by the French ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said the Noble Marquis had been good enough to give him notice of his inten tion, and therefore he (Lord Aberdeen) was now fully prepared with an answer. The Noble Marquis might recollect what he (Lord Aberdeen) said at the time of the expedition against Algiers, for he believed the Noble Marquis then asked for some expla nation of the negotiations that took place o:i this subject between the French and the British Governments. In 1833 he (Lord Aberdeen) in i consequence of what took place elsewhere, was under the necessity of moving for papers connected with this subject; and the Noble Earl then at the head of her Majesty's Government, not only had no objection to the production of the papers, but said that he was satisfied with the course he (Lord Aber deen) had taken. From that time to the pre sent he (Lord Aberdeen) had remained silent on this subject. When her Majesty called upon him to take office again he felt that his opinion on this subject would be regarded with some importance by the French Government, considering the part he taken with reference Governments, that Was, took when he held office before. He felt he had but one course to pursue, that whatever he might have done if he were recalled to office in 18qer3uresliat,ettiohinantcciadolelmunditnaegld, t i into t o t ne cessaryhi sofficetsou deviateil nt subject e t B4 b 1841, after from aft er t s precedingbt e e h n ,u_ iec;‘3hsh'ueeaGrad.sroces wasbov' en fl, (Lord Aber hetment, and he ferene_e_ of a confiden ts oa y arisingb ny retaining otitheon a u l g l t the Na boo fob o ul p et i opinions i i‘i o t i n . ca or nq tial and friendly nature. lle _ had no doubt that M.

But when he (Lord Aber deen) saw in the Moniteur the report o f t hi s conver sation, as given in the Chamber of Deputies by M. Guizot, he saw that M. St. Aulaire had fallen involuntarily into an erroneous version of the con versation, and therefore he (Lord Aberdeen) hastened to rectify it, as would be seen by the despatch he wrote to the British Ambassador in Paris. The despatch was dated January 28, and ran thus :—" My Lord, I be 4; r. leave to direct your attention to a report in the kioniteur of a speech delivered in the Chambe r of Depu ties by M. Guizot, on the 20th. On that occa sion his Excellency read an account of a con versation that had taken place been M. , St. Aulaire and myself in relation to the French possessions in Africa, and which the former t ransmitted • to . the French Ministry. In this narrative the Count de St. Aulaire says, " I began by ass !ding the security of our African possessions as of the last importance, which must not be allowed to give wa y to any consideration, and tord Aberdeen, after listening attentively ; said, ' T ain. ;very glad to be able to explain distinctly on this point. i wax Minister in 1830. If you go back to that time ,I„have.much to say; but taking af fairs as they are in 1841,,, and the state in which things have been left by preceding Cabinets, I look at your possession as a fait :accompli, and I have no further observation to make.' This quotation, purporting to be the account of the Count de St. Aulaire, with the exception of the last sentence, is correct. I never said that I had no objection to make to the establishment of the French in Algiers, but that I had no observations to make on the subject, and that it was my intention to be silent." The context showed that such was his (Lord Aberdeen's) view, and that decision he had come to after mature, reflection. He (Lord Aberdeen) felt that after ten years, any objection at the present moment, would have been misplaced. The course which it would have been impossible for him to have adopted then, was now entirely consistent with propriety. It did not follow, if any objection was not expressed that it was not entertained. He had explained to the French Ambassador the misre presentation which he had fallen into, and the erroneous statement which he had made in consequence. With respect to Lord Cowley, that Noble Lord had fulfilled his instructions upon the subject, and there the matter rested. He (Lord Aberdeen) was not aware that he had any further explanation to give on the subject. He would then lay the despatch on the table of their Lordships' House. THE ADMIRALTY. Lord MINTO wished to call their Lordships' at tention to a matter personal to himself. He was nut insensible to the great inconvenience of referring the House to any matter that might have passed in the other House of Parliament, but there were occasions on which it would be highly improper to allow unseemly ex pressions . to go forth without some explanation ; and when he should have read to their Lordships the pas sage from a newspaper to which he alluded, he thought their Lordships would, feel with him that the present was such an occasion. The passage to which he was about to refer purported to be a report of the speech of a Gallant Officer in the other House of Parliement. The object of that Gallant Officer at the time was to recommend to the notice of the House what he (Lord M.) must beg leave to call a rather fanciful scheme for the Naval Administration. The Gallant Officer to whom he alluded, in pointing out, in the course of his speech, the incompetency of civilians to fill the situation of First Lord of the Admiralty, made the following observation " When the late First Lord of the Admiralty came into power he was in general extremely ignorant ; but after he had been there a little time he began to fancy that he was a thorough sailor." But it was to what followed that he (LordMinto) wished particularly to call their Lordships' attention. " After he had been at the Admiralty for some time, he began to assume a great deal more power than lie ever ought to have assumed." Now there was a distinct charge. But the Report proceeded :—" He had always understood there was a divided responsibility in the Board of Admiralty ; but the late First Lord acted against the express desire of every other Lord. Amongst 'other things a scheme was proposed to reduce the complement of men by one-eighth; and that was assented to by every one of the Naval Lords. The result was communicated to Lord Minto who put the document into his pocket, and nothing more was heard about it for some time. But at length it was returned to the Board, when it turned out that Lord Minto had taken upon himself to reduce the number of men not by one-eighth but by one-fifth." Now before he (Lord Minto) went further, he would endeavour, in a few words—confining himself to the charge—to make their Lordships, if possible, understand what actually . 'did take place on the occasion alluded to. He wonld not enter into the controversy as to the peace and war complements. He believed it to be a question of circumstances. In a time of profound peace, he thought that it might be wise to have a large number of ships afloat with a smaller complement of men than would be required in tune of war. But when the state of our foreign relations was at all menacing, it was necessary to increase the complement : and he thought that the present First Lord of the Admiralty was p er f ec tly right in putting on the full complement of men, in all ships in foreign stations. lie had said that he beg ged leave to call their Lordships' attention to the charge against himselfpersonally ; which was that a cer tain complement was recommended to him by the other Lords of the Admiralty, and he took upon himself to adopt a different scale. The full war complement was determined by the recommendation of a Commission, and was understood to rest upon that recommendation. The opinions of this Commission were held to deter mine what were the complement of ships. The peace establishments were sometimes reduced and some times increased, and of late years considerable reduc tions had been made. He rather thought that under Sir James Graham and Lord Auckland some reduc tions were made in the peace complements. Such was the state of things when he came to the Admiralty. There was then a sufficient complement to certain classes of ships. Many descriptions of ships had been introduced into the service since that state of comple ments had been considered necessary. Since that time a new and more powerful armament hltd been considered necessary. All this seemed to regard a revision of the complement of the ships, and, accordingly, in th e au t umn , persons were employed on the subject, many schemes were produced, and at length, after they thought suffi cient progress had been made, a meeting of the Board was called, at which the attendance of Sir T. Hastings and the Surveyor-General was required, and after sitting sometime a complement was devised which was thought a full war complement, and to that arrange ment, as far as he recollected, he thought that Capt. Berkeley was a party. And that scale of complements was the one he left when he retired from the Admiralty. Then, with respect to the question of peace complements. Under the old system, the complement had been reduced one-eighth. A scale was suggested by which it was proposed to take one-fifth or one-sixth. Mr Wood drew up a minute on the subject, and brought it to the Board. It described the principle on which they should proceed with respect to war complements and peace complements, and in that statement •he most cordially concurred. That minute was brought forward and approved of by all the members of the Board, and yet this was the one which he was supposed to have put in his pocket, and changed for an entirely new plan. He said at the time, that it was a question requiring much investigation, and that he was bound to see that the professional zeal and prejudices of naval officers did not run away with them and induce them to recommend a wanton expenditure. He did what he thought was his duty, namely, he coil suited the two senior Naval Lords, both flag officers, and tnen in whose opinions he had the fullest confidence. They went into the question minutely, and he stated to theM, that it being so entirely a professional question, I he must be bound entirely by their decision. They found that the principle of the plan was totally inapplicable, that to establish any one proportion between the peace and war complements of every de scription of ships would be productive of all sorts of con fusion, and, in short, though it might look well upon paper, yet it was in fact arrant nonsense. After much discussion a scale of the peace establishment was agreed on by Sir C. Adams and Sir W. Parker, and he (Lord Minto) fully concurred with them. It was considerably less than the scale recommended, but it was made with their entire concurrence. As to Captain Berkeley not having been consulted, that was not his fault, as 'that Gallant Officer was out of town. He trusted that the statement he bad made was sufficient to acquit him of having acted on his own authority, and not on the judgment of the Board. He would proceed to the next subject of complaint aga i nst hi m; as an ev i dence of his undue assumption of authority, it had been stated " he" (Sir C. Napier) " had read in a Levant paper, that Sir R. Stopford h a d rece i ve d pr i vate orders from m Lord Minto to proceed off Candia; there to wait for further orders; was it right there should be such an assumption of authority?" Even supposing the circumstances had been, as there stated, he should not think that he had in curred any reproach. The First Lord of the Admiralty being in the Cabinet, was, necessarily, in most confiden tial communication with the Commanders-in-Chief of the naval forces. At the time referred to, the commu nications with the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediter ranean were of the most delicate nature, and he believed that notwithstanding, in this instance, but in fifty others, he had intimated to that officer the wish of the overnment, though not in the shape of an order, which he had not a right to give, but he had to enlighten him as to the intentions of the Government, and often sug gested to him what would probably be the course of opera tion. But he was happy to say that in this particular case, he had the testlinony of Sir R. Stopford himself. He then read the following letter :—" Greenwich Hospital, March 6. My Lord,—l have received your Lordship's letter in reference to the observations of Sir C. Napier, in the House of Commons, as to having received a private letter from your Lordship, directing me to proceed to Candia. I find, on reference to my papers, that that order pro ceeded from the Board of Admiralty, dated Oct. 22, 1840, transmitting instructions from Lord Palmerston, dated Oct. 19. In consequence, I believe, of not being able to obtain the necessary force of Turkish troops, I did not proceed to Gaudio, and I am quite, sure that I never received a ny private order from. your Lordship." His Lordship then read an extract from a note from Admiral Stopford to Lord Ponsonby, asking for instructions, and proving that the Admiral did not consider himself bound to act ,rn such a private communication, as he would have been by an order. He evidently did not consider it as im posing any obligation upon him. He felt tempted to refer to one or two other subjects that had been touched on, bi.t he would carefully abstain from so doing. Lord COLCHESTER said that the Noble Lord had quoted from a newspaper which must have given an in correct account, because it was inconistent with their Lordship orders that such an order should have taken place. There were two circumstances to which he alluded. One related to certain circumstances which took place, when the Noble Lord was at the head of the Board of Admiraly in 1839. He the Noble Lord stated that he was charged by a Gallant Officer in the other House, with disregarding the opinions of high naval officers. The Noble Lord was of course quite right in giving the best explanation of the circumstances in his power. But when four officers, and the Secretary, con sulted as to the best mode of manning the ships, the Noble Lord differed from them for certain reasons.— (" No, no," from Lord Minto.) Such was the impres sion which he received from what had fallen from the Noble Lord. The other ease was, that certain orders were given to the officer commandino• in the Mediterranean on the authority of the Noble himself ; but this he denied, and read a letter from Admiral Stopford on the subject. But from the extract which appeared in- the paper, it would seem that such an order was given. The Noble Lord then read an extract from the paper, by which it appeared that an order, dated November, 1833, was sent from the Noble Lord, directing the Admiral in the Le vant to proceed with. his fleet to Cyprus, and he (Lord Colchester) understood that he went to Cyprus In con sequence of that order. It appeared to him that any person reading the extract he had just read, must come to the conclusion that the Commander-in-Chief was to obey the First Lord of the Admiralty. The Hon. and Gallant Officer in the other House might have been mis ! taken, but it appeared to him that he could not, after' the extract he had read, be accused of making any wilful misstatements. He received that extract from the Gallant Officer to whom allusion had been made ; and having read it in the public papers, he conceived the Commander-in-Chief was bound to obey it, and that if he did not do so, he would have incurred heavy responsi bilities. He would not go any further into discussion, but he might be permitted to say, as an officer of her Ma jesty's Navy, that the Government had acted with great prudence in increasing the establishment to which allu sion had been made, for it would be a means of prevent ing such occurrences as took place in 1812 and 1813. The Duke of RICHMOND said the present was an instance of the inconvenience that always arose from Noble Lords making observations on what appeared in the public papers.—(Hear.) Stich a mode of proceed ing was contrary to the orders of their Lordships' House. His Noble Friend complained of what had been said by Sir Charles Napier and Captain Berkeley. Now it was a great charge against a gentleman that what he had said was not true—(Hear)—and those gentlemen would defend themselves in the other House, when, of course, his Noble Friend would reply, and they should go on speaking at each other in both Houses: His Noble Friend read a letter which appeared in that newspaper, but which was not the letter written by Capt. Berkeley, and read by Sir Charles Napier.—(Hear, hear.) The letter really written was in these terms :—" Let there be no mistake as to my quitting the Admiralty. After mature consideration, a reduct:on of one-eighth was • agreed to by the naval Lords, and was approved of by Lord Dalmeny. This I assented to, and it was consi dered as a great boon. The Minute was shown to Lord Minto, and he put the paper in his pocket. It was never brought before the Board of Admiralty again, and I heard no more of it until I received a letter from Mr. Wood, informing me that the reduction was to be one-fifth. This was done without consulting the other Lords." Now his (the Duke of Richmond's) Noble Friend (Lord Minto) adraitted that he did not consult the other Lords, and that he only .sent the order to two of them, to put their initials to it. If any Minister of the Crown resigned his office, he ob tained the leave of the Sovereign to explain in his pla ce in Parliament th e reasons o f his resignation, and he could not see why, if a Cabinet Minister could do that, a member of an inferior Board, such as the Admiralty, should not be at liberty to explain in a letter to a friend his. reasons for resigning office.—(Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend admitted th a t th e f u ll complement should be kept up, when the political horizon was clouded. Well, was not the political horizon clouded at the time of that reduction ? and had not his Noble Friend to send out reinforcements to the Mediterranean ? But he (the Duke of Richmond) thought it was not right to send out our seamen in ships which had not a sufficient complement of men. If a war broke out, they might be en countered by a superior force ; and under such circum stances, the first six weeks might determine the issue against us. For his own part he would rather have two ships belonging to England properly manned than a dozen without the full complement of men. He would only refer to one point further, and that was merely to state to the House that he was aware that Sir Thomas Hardy was on a Commission, but his friend must be aware that it was never carried into effect. It was notorious that that Gallant Officer had told Captain Berkeley that lie was one of the old school, and was not for ships going to sea not fully manned. He thought that the First Lord of the Admiralty had done rightly, and he only hoped they would never alter the manning of ships. He would at any time rather see too many men than too few in the Navy. The Earl of MINTO explained. He had made no charge against any Gallant Officer, although it appeared to be supposed he had done so. He had no charge to make against Sir Charles Napier, but that he greatly misunderstood the relations between a Commander-in- __ ... Chief and a Government; so intimate was this that when - - a change in the Government took place, they did not appoint a new Commander-in-Chiefin the Mediterranean. The Duke of RICHMOND explained and said, the charge against the Noble Earl still remained unshaken. Lord FITZGERALD condemned the conversation as irregular beyond example, and showing how un wise it was to take up debates that took place in the other House. The anxiety of the Noble Earl was quite natural, and it was only to be regretted that the Noble Earl had not taken such measures as the House pre scribed, by moving for papers and records instead of making the speech which they had just heard from him, in reply to statements made. by Gallant Officers in the other House, when no question was before their Lordships, and in the irregular manner in which he had done. He (Lord Fitzgerald) had felt himself called on to correct this, and he hoped the few remarks that had fallen from him would act so as to prevent such oc currences taking place again. Earl MINTO said the only observation he was de sirous of making in reply was, that he hoped the Noble Lord would give him credit for having abstained gene rally from replying to what passed in other places. His whole object had been attained, if he had succeeded in vindicating himself. Lord FITZGERALD said that he was quite prepared to admit that the anxiety of the Noble Earl was quite natural, but he could not retract what he had said rela tive to what appeared to him to be an irregular pro ceeding in that House. Earl MINTO briefly explained, and after a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND, the matter dropped. LUNACY. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that he should to-morrow lay on their Lordships' table a Bill to alter and amend the law respecting proceedings in lunacy. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned shortly before Seven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 7. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock.

Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved for copies of the Coroner's notes on the inquest of Mr. M`Cardle.—Ordered. Mr. MASTERMAii wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Govern ment, with respect to the period at which the new Corn Bill would come into operation. Some of the newspapers had given different interpretations to the answer of the Righy'Hon.Gentleman the other evening, and what he wished to know was, whether the averages would be taken upon the new system - the week after the Bill received the Royal assent. Sir R. PEEL said it was intended that five weeks' averages should be taken under the old system, and the sixth week under the new one. Sir C. NAPIER wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of the Government to propose increased allowances to the old captains. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was understood to say that tjie question had not at present been taken into consideration by the Government. FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ALGERIA. Sir ROBERT PEEL thought it might he con venient in relation to the motion for which the Hon. and Learned Member for Dungarvon had. given notice for Thursday next, for the production of the despatch of his Noble Friend, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the conversation which had taken place between the French _Am bassador and his Noble Friend to state at once his (Sir Robert Peel's) intention on the subject. (He ar.) It was his (Sir Robert Peel's) intention to lay that despatch on the table of the House.—(Cheers.) l i e did so because in the first place he thought it vei y desirable to avoid what he must consider a most inconvenient practice, namely, the raising a debate in that House in reference to a debate which had taken place in the Chamber of Deputies in Pa cis; and, in the second place, because in any answer which he (Sir R. Peel) might have to make to any observalion of the Honourable and Learned Member he <Sir R. Peel) would have to make frequent reference to the despatch in question, and therefore he thought it best that the House should have the whole despite) r. to refer to. It would be for the Hon. Member, if lie should think proper afterwards, to found a motic , n upon that despatch. While on this subject, he fe It 7, it to be his (Sir R. Peel's) duty entirely to exonertzte the French Ambassador, Comte St. Aulaire, from all blame on the subject. It was his duty entirely to acquit the Comte St. Aulaire—(Hear, hear)—of airs intentional misapprehension. He (Sir R. Peel) fel t assured that all who had the happiness to know Comt 3 St. Aulaire, must feel assured that any misappre - hension must be entirely unintentional on hi s (Comte St. Aulaire's) part (Hear, hear) - and although the Hon. Gentleman might think i t necessary to correct any misapprehension, yet he (Si r R. Peel) was sure that every one would acquit th a Comte St. Aulaire of everything like intentional error The Right Hon. Baronet then laid a copy of th despatch on the table. BANK ISSUES. Mr. C. WOOD said, before the House went int o a Committee of Supply, he wished to put a questio to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, in order t o ascertain what were the intentions of the Governmen t on a subject of great importance, and which ha , / excited great interest in the country. Th e House was aware, that during the last Sessio of Parliament, a Committee was sitting, of which had the honour of being Chairman, for the purp ese , of inquiring into the circulation of the banks of sue. In the middle of the session, those e' rents occurred which brought it to an earlier concl- asion than was expected, and interrupted that inc The House had barely time, at the dc e e o f the Session, to pass an Act providing for a. m accurate and general publication of the YU count of bank-notes p u t i n c i rcu l at i on, b ut i t was imp assrbie for the Committ ee t o come to any conclusion, or ake any Report to the House. Since Parlian' Sent h ad met, many inquiries had been made of hi m, and many communi r Ations from he had rec e i ve d a grea t owing to hi s h different parts of th e coun t ry , n avi ' been Chairman of th a t C omm i ttee. g , to ascertain what were th e i nten t requesting hi m ment with respect to th e questi, 'ins of th e Govern m. Some tim e s i nce he had mentioned th e c i rcumV Baronet, in order th a t h e mi Ance to th e Ri g h t H on. ght have ti me to consider the matter, and to confer with his colleagues as to the course the Government might think ad visable to adopt. Ile wars quite aware that there would be considerable difficulty in re appointing the Committee, fmm the circumstance that many of the efficient and 'active Members had not seats in the present House of Commons. He, there" fore, wished to ask what course the Government tended to pursue, on a subject that had excited gueat interest in many parts of the kingdom. Sir R. PEEL said he had given his best considera tion to this important subject, to which the Hon. Gen tleman had drawn his attention, and he was sorry that last year, after having applied so much time to a conti nuous inquiry into the matter, and with the recollec tion of great attention paid to it by the Hon. Gentle manuid himself, and the ability he displard, they should have separated without coming to lulY proposal.
