Mr. HOGG said that there had been laid on the table of the House copies of despatches from the Secretary of the Colonies, and the President of the Board of Control, to the Directors of the East India Company, transmitti ng a copy of the Order in Council regulating the introduction of natives of India into the Mauritius, and also, copies of despatches, containing the opinions of her Majesty's Ministers regarding the supply of free labour from India to the Mauritius. They had required the Court of Di rectors to transmit those despatches to the Governor- General of India, to be by him laid before the Legis lative Council in India for their opinion. The question which he wished to ask was, whether the President of the Board of Control would, before those documents were sent out to India, have any objection to lay on the table of the Home a copy of the despatches which the Court of Directors had sent out on the subject, and of the instructions which they had issued to the authorities in India. Mr. B. BARING said, that as the object of the Go vernment was that the utmost publicity should be given to everything relating to the subject of the emigration of the Hill Coolies from India to the Mauritius, there could be no objection to laying those pre rs on the table.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool ;a& at Five o'Clock. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the New York packet-ship United States, Captain Britton, at this port late this evening we are in possession of New York papers to the day of her sailing, the 14th of February, inclusive, and from other ports to 'a late date also. The United States has made a capital passage of 16 days. illy Loan,—ln the statement that I had the honour to ma e to your Lordship, as one of a deputat on on the subject of the Corn-laws, I showed the disparity and the disadvantages under which the English operative laboured, in having to compete with a country manufacturing part of its own clothing and other article , . From the tabular form in which it is now submitted (see foot of this letter), your Lordship will perceive that the disad. vantiges are of two kinds, natural and artificial. The natural disadvantag es are 1. The seller of goods has to sustain in a distant market disadvantages which the English workman would have to sus tain under a system of free trade, which would of itself be suf ficiently embarrassing. 2. The artificial disadvantages proceed from restriction and monopoly, and will divide themselves into two heads also:- 1. Restrictive retaliatory tariffs, and which are paid out of what should be English wages, and go to pay American, Ger man, and other taxes. ed to bo N Ar ioNAI LOAN FUND SOCIETY Lipz RA TING "ISURA.1110E;O, WEFE N RRED ANNUITIES, &c.

From the New York Express, Feb 14. TILE "Boz" MANIA.—On Saturday, Mr. Dickens reached the city from New Haven, in the New Haves steam-boat, and attl.c wharf he was met by a detachment from the " Boz" Com mittee, from whence, in a carriage, he was escorted, himself and lady, to the Carlton-house. The " Box" fever rages as merrily as ever in this city, and it is seldom that there has been so much excitement about any thing or nobody. There is the greatest curosity to see this Box, and he has no rest for his weary limbs. Committees haunt him at his tarrying p'ace, and individuals thrust them. selves upon his presence, as if but to touch the hem of his gar ment, or to be within the atmosphere of his presence, was, as Mr. Van Buren once had it, " glory enough. Grave seniors are on tiptoe to see Boz; the ladies, old and young, mistress and miss, are "dying," to use their owu phraseology, for a sight--and; what is remarkable, all cliques +AMA, classes claim him as their oa•n, the Loafers in particular deem ng " Boz " one of themselves ! 7he interior, too, has got the mania. Our country friends are flocking, bag and baggage, everybody expecting to go to the Box Ball, but many a body sadly dis appo:nted, as tickets are not to be got for love or money, or if money, not without an enormous quantity of it, considering the object got by it. Mr. Dickens must not attribute all this furry and folde rol to wrong causes. We love excitement in this country. A spasm is necessary, every now and then, for our very ex istence. Po'itics, our usual resource, are at a dead halt, and there is no sort of interest 'attached to the agitation of them just now. We want a Lion—we want a Ball—we want amuse ment, fun, and frolic, and the " Boz " comes along, just in the right time fur us to lase the very best of excuses to have all of them. EXCHEQUER BILLS. Lord MONTEAGLE begged leave to give notice hat he should defer his motion relating t•) Exchequer till to-morrow. PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES. Earl ENNISKILLEN presented petitions on the iubject of Presbyterian Marriages in Ireland, from everal places in the counties of Enniskillen, Donegal, tnd Kilmarnock: COPYRIGHT.

PRISON DISCIPLINE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he wished to ask the Bight lion. Baronet opposite (Sir J. Graham) whether the statement he made in reply to him, a few evenings ago, was correct ? The Right Zion. Baronet stated, that out of the 1,207 prisoners who were sentenced to corporal punish ment, 70 only were adults. But on looking to the official returns, he .found the number of adults amounted to 482, so that he apprehended the Right Hon. Baronet was under a wrong impression when he made his statement. _ THE SECOND REFORMATION.

LADY ANNE GRANARD.-The public w il l learn with great delight that anew work is immediately forthcoming by a writer—now, alas ! no more—from whom pen thousands have derived the greatest interest and amusement, we mean, the late 3liss Landon. " Lady Anne Granard, or, Keeping up Appearances," is the name of the expected fiction, and, from the title, it may be presumed to be a tale of modern life ; a subject which the recently published " Correspondence and Litaiary Remains" of the lamented author, shows to have been more adapted for her versatile powers, than the , vein of h gh romance which runs through all her other productions would have led us to imagine. As the last work of so popular and esteemed a writer as L. E. L. " Lady Anne. Granard' must be looked for VI ith no slight degree of expectation and curiosity. FALLACIES OF THE FACULTY.—We are not asto nished at the great popularity of this volume, agreeing, as we do, with the IF estminster Review, " that it almost as enter taining as a novel." Such a clever at' ack upon received me dical opinion could not pass without rousing the mirth of one class, and the bile of another ; and, to quote Tait, " it has at la't been fairly praised and abused into fame." The new doctrine that all diseases may be cured solely by attention to temperature—in a word, with cold or hot water, and without any doctor at all—is not very flattering to the apothecaries; but if we may believe the Revue de Versailles, it is rapidly making its way to the Continent—witness the following pas sage from that periodical II eat inutile de dire le bruit que cause en France cette doctrine. Le Docteur Dickson fixe d'autant plus d'attention jeune et plein d'energie ne re court nullement au periphrase Tour experimen ce qu'il pence. Pour lui un chat est, un chat, et les medecins sonts des roués." The " Fallacies of the Faculty" have just appeared in a French dress at Paris, and Messrs. Simpkin and Ma-shall, the London publishers of the work, will shortly be prepared to suiSp'y the trade and the public with the foreign edition. FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.---KIR KC UDDR 27,—A very melancholy accident occurred here to-day. Five young men went, out to take a sail in a small boat, and were on their return down the river, when a squall upset the boat, and four of the men were drowned. Their names are—Stewart Watsor, who has left a wife and two children • Hugh More land and Thomas M‘Keac h ie , sin g le men. T he bodies of the above three have been got; the other, Hugh M'Adam, has not yet been found. Too much praise cannot be given to the men belonging to the port, for their exertions in trying to save the unfortunate sufferers, and afterwards in endeavouring to find the bodies.—Shipping Gazette. CURIOUS ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERY. —11l making excavations at the Hotel de Ville, at Mons, recently, a leaden coffin has been discovered, containing the body of a female, well preserved, and the robes, in black silk, almost intact. '1 he head, placed by the side of the body, showed that the individual had been executed. It proves to be the body of the Countess Inez de Mendoza, who was privately executed in the court of the Hotel de Ville, on the 9th of June, 1618, as an accomplice in the conspiracy of the Marquis de Henriqui.z. A ring on one of the fingers bore the arms of the Mendoza family. The coffin was transferred to the museum of the town. In pursuance of these feelings, there are the greatest efforts to turn Boz's pr e sence to the best account, to make the most of him, and wherewithal, to do him as much honour as possible. Box, however, is but an incident in the general movement, 11,,z is but a man of to-day, and passes off the stage to-morrow. The book publishers thus, are working their presses day and nght to supply the demand for Pickwick, Oliver Twist, Bar. naby Mudge. &c. The milline s are delighted amazingly that something has got along to give the greatest animation to their trade. The news-boys rejoice that there is a new tune for them to pitch. An excitement is got up, and an excitement is a treasure to them. The shopkeepers, too, have their harvest out of 13oz, and more or less, all trades thrive. Thus, all cry " Boz," " Boz," " Boz" and " Boz " is made the greatest lion that ever trod the stree t of New York. The l3oz Ball to night, no doubt, will be one of the most magnificent affairs ever got up in New York. There will be full 2,500 persons present, if not 3,000. THE COURSE OF JOHN QUINCY . ADAMS.—The Opposition Members of the Ohio Legislature, that is to say, the late Van Buren men, have passed resolutions in the Senate (ayes 19, noes 17), and in the House (ayes 33, noes 29), pronouncing Mr. Adams &serving the merited censure of his countrymen, and the indignant disapprobation of the House. It was at a' midnight session t efore these resolutions were got through, and after hot and indignant resistance on the part of the Whigs. Per contra, in Rochester, N. Y., the people, without distinc tion of party, have had a meeting approving his course ; and in Brooklyn a simi'ar meeting is talked of. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD COME TO THIS. — The Plymouth Bock says :--" We have been favoured by a young lady with the reading of a copy of a letter from ' Boz,' in reply to a re quest made by some three or four Plymouth ladies, for a lock of Dickens's hair. He declines a compliance with that re quest, becauie it would afford a precedent, which if followed, would shortly resultin total baldness. Boz couched his letter in sery pretty terms, and his reply was a proper one." (From the New Orleans Bee.) LATE FROM . MEXICO. , - - BARBAROUS ThEATIVIENT or THE TEXIAN CAPTIVES ANIY AMERICAN PRISONERS.—We, yesterday, held an in terview with a gentleman, just from the City of Mexico, who informs us that ninety of the Texian captives had reached that place, some days before his departure. They were brought in in a most wretched condition, having been marched barefoo'ed and almost naked from the place of, their capture. Amongst the prisoners was the son of General Ledie Coombs. The charity of the foreigners in the city furnished them some ne cessary apparel. So far from receiving humane treatment from Santa Anna, as reported, they were chained in pairs, and were compelled to work in the streets as common felons. Our in formant assures us that the resident Ministers of foreign coun tries, had interfered, in an informal manner, to arrest this dis graceful and bat bayous treatment, without succes.. Young Coombs was extremely ill ; his constitution had proved too frail to endure the cruelties to which he had been subjected. The accounts of the treachery rescrted to, to cap ture the expedition are confirmed. Mr. Kendall , had not reached Mexico ; he was expected daily in company with about 200 Texians. Mr. Ellis, our Minister at Alexi, o, had demanded young Coombs as a citizen of the United States, but that a week had elapsed without his receiving any response erom the Government. We have read a number of private letters that speak of the sufferings of the captives as most alt palling. There has been no eemency shown to the citizens of the United State;. The general bt - litf in the city was that nothing short of force would ameliorate the condition of the prisoners, and that all would be treated alike. Besides these, we have been favoured with the perusal of official documents, detailing the circumstances of the capture of the expedition, and the march of the prisoners to Mexico, which exhib:t a re finement of treachery, a hardihood of perfidy, and an excess of cruelty, arrogance, and rapacity on the part of the Mexicans, scarcely equalled by the barbarity of their forefathers towards the helpless aborigines whom they have subjected to every spe cies of torture, and slaughtered in very amusement. Our in formant met Mr. Lumsnen between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico. We learn that General Paradez, hitherto a partisan of Santa Anna, is getting up a revolution in the North to overthrow the ruthless tyrant. The steitner Furth is to be at the Belize on the sth inst., when the Oetorara will take down her letter-bags and passen gers —New Orleans Bulletin. * RIGHT OF SEARCM. — We learn that the ship Henry, at this port from Vera Cruz, while at that port, was visited by an officer from an English vessel of war, who claimed several of the crew of the Henry as being British 'sailors. We further learn that the said searching Officer was lowered against his will into his boat, and suffered to depart.—lbid. LATER FROM VERA Cittrz —The New Orleans Papers of the 2d inst. contain advices from Vera Cruz to the 16th January. It having been reported in Mexico that many of the priests of Spain were making arrangements to come to Mexico, where an allum had been offered to them by the Mexican clergy, the Minister of Justice i , sued a decree forbidding their being considered as belonging to the regular clergy of Mexico. A conducta of 975,242 dol. left the city of Mexico on the Bth of January for Vera Cruz. • FROM FATAL.--RELICS OF THE STEAM SIIIP PRESI DENT.—The schooner Mokina, arrived last night in 21 dayS Itranothe a pe de i Verds,,reports that thq stere,bou of the•ill ratedistea '-ship'Pre:itient, and some of her witer.easks, bad been - pieled. up by a vessel, and car r i e d i n t o St. Niehela,.

The Maine also reports the loss of a British brig, with 'a very valuab!e cargo of merchandise, bound for the River Plata, on the Hartwell Reef—all hands saved, and half of the cargo.

No collision or ac cident has taken place during the winter, and the number of passengers conveyed during the quarter eliding June 30, 1841, was 32,954, and in the last half year, 80,548. Arrangements were stated to be in course of rail way communication with Newcastle by means of the New castle and Darlington Junction Railway, and th e D arlington and Shincliffe line is also proposed to be ia ned to theirs. Mrs. Wood , on her ride from her v illa , near Wake field, to take the railway train for Leeds,on Sunday evening last, owing to the sodden flight of a favourite horse, was thrown with considerable force over the head of the animal, and, for a time, excited great fears as to the consequences of so untoward an accident. She was not, however, prevented }, yy it from com mencing an engagement at Leeds on the following evening. Your Lordship will perceive that all these various charges, making together 134 barrels, and which you will see are de ducted from the wages of the English workman, and place him at a disadvantage as compared with the American workman, who is making the same kind of goods, as 34 is to 132. The natural disadvantages under which the British opera tive labours in having to seek & distant market, would, if pro tection were of any use—if a bounty on the export of manufac tured goods were ever justified, give him a claim to such protection —to such bounty in his favour, and especially as the net returns for goods exported fix the price paid for labour on all goods of similar manufacture made in this kingdom, whether for exportation or home consumption, as the price must always be low enough, in an exporting country, to overcome and cover all the difficulties and charges incurred in the ex portation of, his goods, and the importation of his food, or he must pay, that is equivalent, as much extra for the home grown as would cover the expenses of importing his food from abroad, which expense would amount to fifty-nine barrels of flour against the English workman, even if we had a free trade in corn, and if the American hostile^tariff were not taken off, there would. then be a disadvantage against the English workman of 91 yi barrels of flour as compared with the American workman.. As it is now agreed on all hands that protection and bounties on manufactures, if practicable, would be mischievous—if, then, the Legislature can give no protection to the operatives; if no device can raise the money rate of wages of the working man artificially one farthing, what then becomes of protecting some other class at the expense of this — the most numerous, as well as the most helpless of all classes, especially as our position is altering every day for the worse, from the increase of, and improvement in machinery, both in the old and new worlds. When we had few or no competitors, when the superiority in, or exclusive possession of ma chinery placed us in the position, if your Lordship will allow me to illustrate the ease by a comparison of a gentleman of the turf, whose horses are so su?erior as to titter others from a con test, and which walk over the course for the plate, in such a case the weight carried was imm a t er i a l. Th e di fference was paid by the foreigner„ but our altered position renders it neces sary that the Legislature (to carry on the figure) sheuld re move every pound from the overburd ene d animal who has now such formidable competitors in the race.= And let it never be forgotten that it is the working man especially that competes. It should be remembered that thelandowner bas none of these difficulties to contend with, but has the benefit of a market at his ovrn door. Though I have taken a single article, and a single market, to illustrate the case, the result would be the same in any other markei,- or with any other kind of goods which we chip, the degree being fixed by the tariffs in such countries, and by the per centage of labour in such goods, and which per centago of labour is continually decreasing. In ,peaking f the falling off of the hosiery trade of the midland counties, I ought to have named to your Lordship, that so far from their being any falling off in the fashion for cotton hosiery (and returns are accessible from most countries), as far as I have been able to ascertain from such returns, there is a con stant steady increased consumption of there articles in all civi lised countries but one, and that one country is Great Britain, which supplied the world with hosiery for more than two hun dred years. There has been a falling off in this country within the last thrt e or four years in the consumption of this article about one-third. rand that, whether you compare the situation of the English operative with the foreign workmen, as to the amount of food he receives for a given amount of labour, or whether you view it by comparing his present with his past circumstances, the result is equally unfavourable. I find, on a careful comparison of the money rate of wages of the stocking maker now, and before the passing of the Corn laws, taking thirty years before the war and its disturbing causes, and indeed up to the passing of the law of 1815, the workmen had steady wages, which, compared with the present rate was as 15s. is to 6s. 6d. or is., and allowing for the difference in the price of food on an average for the last ten years, and ten years before the War - places him in a position to Lis disadvantage as one is to four—your Lordship always recollecting that there has been no disturb ing cause to whieh bad trade has been attributed else where, either in the improvement of, or *tease in, machi nery or any application of steam, and that as his wages have been earning down step by step under these laws, if we may judge from the past, it is fair to presume that they will continue to do so, so long as these lawn are on the sta tute-book. In addition to the evils I have before named, it may be well to state as we are only now manufacturers on sufferance, and aie obliged to make such goods as foreign manufacturers ne glect to supply the markets of the world with, we are con tinually being pressed upon those articles which have the least labour and the most material in them, which circumstance acts injuriously, not only in giving a less amount of labour in a given amount of exports, but gives an increased disadvantage against the wages of our workmen. For instance, with 20 per cent. foreign tariff on 80 per cent. wages and 20 per cent. material,. that will he a tax on B r iti s h l a b our o f 25 per cent. ; but with an article having 50 per cent. material and 50 per cent. labour in it, will be a tax on . the British workman on the same foreign market of 40 per cent. The general impression three years ago was, that we should lose the whole of this trade, but experience shows that these, as well as other ill. paid operatives must continue to work at such wages as may be obtained, however low that price may be, and however high the price of foo.l, there being no other employ ment to be had. Your Lordship will see I have not endea voured to make out a ease not warranted by the circumstances, when I tell you that the disparity would have been considerably greater before midsummer last, as up to that time the duty on - ,these 49.05, at the Amer can Custom-I°nm was, 30 instead of 23 per ceht:, Mich it nit*is. •-" .-! -- I - have the whole-of she vouelt‘es in my possession, necessary 'to establish the correctness of this statement.

COMPARISON OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN HOSIERY -MANUFACTURE. A British merchant shipped to the United States, a quan tity of hosiery, which was sold for 216 barrels of flour. Taking the same articles, American manufacture, at the same amount, the following estimate shows how the said barrels of flour would be appropriated in the reproduction of the same articles : The British manufacturer would require for the purchase of materials Woes ,of labour, Profits of manufacturer -- 41 Cost of reproduction in England - - - Cost of realisation : Freight, insurance, and charges, commissions, &c. in England Barrels 20k Charges of selling the above goods in New York, freights, insurance &c 3l - Charges of purchasing fluur - Commission and charges -59 i Fiscal obstacles: American tariff, 23 per cent.

MANSIAUGIFTER.—Wednesday afternoon a length ened investigation was entered into before Mr. Wakley, at the Salmon and Compasses, Penton-street, Pentonville, on view of the body of Mr. Richard Simmonds, aged 44, fish monger, late of No. 93, Chapel-street, in the same neighbour hood, who died in consequence of injuries'inflicted on him by a young man named Frederick Jones (now in custod)), of highly respectable connections, residing with his parents at No. 4, York-terrace, Barnsbury-park, Islington. The case was noticed under the head of " Law and Police " on Tuesday. '1 he Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Frede rick Jones,"_ who was forthwith committed on the Coro ner ' s warrant to Newgate. - - - Captain Blanchard, of the American ship Rowland, arrived at Havre-de-Grace on the 24th of February, from Savannah, -reports, that on the 14th of February, in lat. 46 15, long. 25 54, his vessel, while scudding' in a heavy gale from the S. W., was struck by lightning, which set the ship on fire between decks. The greatest alarm prevailed on board, and to extinguish the flames was deemed next to an impossibility. However, the attempt was made by the crew, who commenced by throwing part of her cargo (cotton) overboard, and cutting holes through her decks, and pouring down a large quantity of water. By their united exertions, from four till eight o'clock in the morning, they succeeded in extinguishing the firs, but not before considerable damage had been done to the Rowland and her cargo. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the ungregation of Independent Dissenters in Newport, Monmouthshire, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws ; Ilso a petition from a place in Essex, praying for a change in the system of taking the averages according to the gliding scale ; also a petition from South Shields, pray-. ing for the entire and immediate - repeal of the Corn-laws ; .uni another petitiOn from Pontefract, to the same effect ; also a petition from the congregation of Glenelly, county if Tyrone, to the same effect. All those petitions were from congregations in connexion with the Pres -syterian Church of Ireland. He was anxious to learn the result of the meeting of the General Assembly of Ireland, which was about to be held on the subject, before their Lordships proceeded to the dis cussion of the Bill which had been introduced into the Aber House ; but he was anxious that this should be done with as little delay as possible. The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested that both objects might be met by taking the second reading of the Bill, and discussing it in Committee on Monday. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented several peti tions from places in the diocese of Tuam, against the present system of National Education in Ireland. REGULATION OF APPRENTICESHIPS. On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE the Regu lation of Apprenticeships Bill was read a first time. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 3.

INGLIS presented a petition from the Bath Church of England Association, prayirg for the protec tion of that Church from the unhallowed machinations of her enemies. CORN-LAWS. • Mr. RICARDO presented two petitions from various parts of the Metropolis, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. G. BANKES presented a petition on the sub ject of the Corn-laws from the bankers ' mer chants, shipowners, and other men of the highest respectability of the borough of Poole, stating, that they viewed the sliding scale with appro bation, and praying that it may make part. of the mea sure to be enacted in that House relative to the Corn laws ; they wished also to express incidentally their full confidence m her Majesty's Government. - Mr. O'CONNELL presented six petitions from the tradesmen of the city of Limerick and elsewhere, pray ing for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Also five petitions from Newry, Kilkenny, Sligo, Ath lone, &c., praying for the restoration of the Irish Par liament. Dr. BOWRING presented five petitions from the cotton dyers and workmen engaged in different factories in Manchester, praying for the total and immediate re peal of the Corn-laws. 4ir J.

Mr. E. TENNENT presented a petition relative to mixed marriages in Ireland. IRISh POPULATION RETURNS. Dr. BOWRING asked the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, when the Irish population returns would be likely to be laid on the table of the House ? Lord ELIOT, in reply, read an extract from a com munication he had received from the Population Commis sioners, stating the counties were nearly completed, and the province of Munster was then in progress ; the whole work, they expected, would be finished by the Ist of July. The Commissioners also stated that they had found the work more heavy than they had expected, as the returns . would not only include the population, but important statistic details relating to the education of the people, their longevity, and their means of support. IRISH CHARITIES. In answer to a question from Colonel CONOLLY, Lord ELIOT stated that the Bill for the regulation of Irish charities was in such a state of progress, that he hoped he should be able to lay it shortly on the table of the House. SUPPLY OF GRAIN. An HoN. MEMBER wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, the First Lord of the Treasury, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, in regulating 'The supply of corn, to establish some means of ascer taining correctly, or as near as possible, the number of acres sown annually in the United Kingdom, specifying the different kinds of grain, and also the quantity of produce thereof, so as to be able to estimate, when the system is in operation, whether, with a fair average crop, there was a sufficient quantity sown for the consumption of the United Kingdom. Sir ROBERT PEEL said that the House was aware, probably, that there had existed, in con naition with the Board of Trade, a department for the purpose of collecting statistical information in reference to the commerce and exports of the country. There had been a recent addition made to that depart znent for the purpose of collecting statistical information connected with agriculture ; but that information would have reference to facts and not to estimates. He thought nothing could be more unwise than for a Government to undertake to colleet information for the purpose of enabling individuals to form an opinion as to the probable supply. He apprehended that the probable supply, and the consideration of what means should be adopted for the purpose of supplying a deficiency, had much better be left to the natural operations of commerce than to any interference on the part of Government. Although it might be proper to collect statistical information with re ference to agriculture, he should deprecate the publication of any information on the part of the Government, for the purpose of enabling individuals to firm an opinion as to whether there. were or were not a sufficient supply. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that on the House going into Committee of Supply on the Army and Navy Estimates, he would call the attention of the House to the religious destitution of Catholics in her Majesty's service. On the motion of Mr. MILES, certain returns of County Treasurers' accounts were ordered. NAVY ESTIMATES. Captain PECHELL wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government whether it would be convenient for him to state on what d a y he proposed to bring forward the Navy Idstunates. It appeared from IMPORTATION OF INDIANS. Mr. BINGHAM BARING said that perhaps he might now be allowed to answer the question put by the lion. Gentleman the Member for Inverness (Mr.l3aillie), a few evenings ago, as to whether the Board of Control turned its attention to the importation of Lasears from India, who were wandering about the streets in a state of destitution. He had promised to make an inquiry into the subject, and he might state that the attention of the Court of Directors, and of the Board of Trade, would also be drawn to the subject. THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose ; he said, I am glad, Sir, that the Noble Lord, and the Honourable Gentleman opposite, bate enabled me to bring before the House a subject of great public and individual importance, and that 1 am now at liberty to recur to the assistance of Parlia ment for a complete development of a transaction which has lately engaged a large portion of public at tention, and which has been to all concerned in the administration of the financial department_ of the country, for some months past, a source of unceasing labour and\ unceasing anxiety. • Al though the subject has been fully discussed by the Government authorities, and though the Government has applied itself to obtaining a complete development of all the circumstances of thb affair, yet there are parts of that transaction which cannot be completely developed without calling on Par liament for its assistance. The object, therefore, which I now have in view this evening, is to submit to the House the measure which I have thought it expe dient that Parliament should adopt, in order that the whole transaction may be fully known both to this House, to Parliament, and to the country. In proposing the mea sure which I shall submit to the House, it is not my intention to enter into any examination of what may have been the defects of the system under which I , :xcliequer • Bills have heretofore be in fabricated and issued, nor to discuss what changes it may be essential to make, either in the law which go verns their issue, or the regulations under which they have been issued. That will be a sub ject for future discussion, when sufficient time shall have been allowed to weigh well the recom mendations that have been submitted to the House, in the Report of the Commissioners ; and when time has been . allowed for those most - conversant :with the business. both of the Treasury and • the Exchequer, to suggest what improvements may be made in the law for the prevention, as far as human means can prevent, the repetition of crimes simi lar to that which forms the subject of our present attention. Before, however, I explain to Parliament the nature of the measure which I shall propose to them to adopt,.l may be permitted briefly to advert to the cir cumstances of the case, ' and to • the - position in which we now stand. The outline of the case is, no doubt, known to all those • whom I have the honour to address. An extensive fraud has b-en committed by- means of a forgery of puh:ic securities to a • very considerable amount. That for gery was commit ted by a breach of confi - deuce on the part of a public officer, and by one of those gross violations of duty, which hap pily are rare in the annals of this count ry, but which, in proportion as they are rare, create, when they do occur, gent ral sensation and considerable alarm. The mode in which the fraud was commit ted was simply this :—an individual in the department having had reposed in him the confidence of his supe riors; having been in that department for twenty eight- years; being connected with parties wh o h a d distinguishe themselves, both in the civil and military service of the country —an individual who had enjoyed the uninterrupted confidence of a series of auditors and comptrollers in department —who had received the strongest testimonies as to his ability and honesty from Lord Grenville, Lord Auckland, Sir J. Newport, and until of late of the present Comptroller of the Exchequer, had been guilty of the deplorable crime of violating a most sacred duty, and abasing the powers which he possessed to defraud the public, in whose ser vice he had been so long employed, and whom he was under the strongest obligations of duty to serve with honour and good faith. The mode in which he committed the fraud was by possessing himself of pa pers entrusted to him in his official capacity, and haring so possessed himself of those papers, by withdrawing them from - the office in which he served, in order to forge the ' name of the Noble Lord, whose signature Exchequer Bills were by law bound to bear. He then availed himself of these forged Bills as negotiable instruments. But this was an offence which if it had not been committed guardedly and with great pre ' caution would have admitted of easy detec tion. The course this individual pursued assisted by agents, whose crime, perhaps, did not''' , equal, but certainly approached near to that of the• principal in the transaction—the mode"' in which he conducted the fraud, to give those Exchequer bills, so forged, as deposits for": loans of money on condition that the very bills so del:6'i - ;- sited for loans should be returned to him on pay ment of the money, or on other Exchequer bills"" n, being given in the room of those which had bee n ' originally deposited. Thus by constantly at each sue+ eeSsive change of Exchequer bills forging new' bilk, with a view to replace those forged bills already outstanding, he contrived effectually to prevent the presentation of the forged bills at the Exchequer' ' Office, and to hindar their general circulation - ' among the commercial community of the Metropolis."' ' Thus, he committed in the first instance a breach of '• every honourable obligation, and afterwards, by an artful concealment of the forged instruments issued, ,- he succeeded in escaping the detection to which a-" ';' different course would have certainly exposed him. On the 20th of October last an individual called upon me at my office, anti informed me that an offer had. been made to him of Exchequer bills in deposit in re turn for a loan of money, and he told me that the rate ,of interest offered to him upon the loan had so far exceeded the 'market rate of interest that he sus pectpd the bills had been stolen, or that they )‘ ere the property of some other person. Upon that information having been communicated to me I felt it was my duty; and I lost no time, to inquire into the matter.—(Hear, hear.) In consequence of the informatiOn given to me, as I already stated on the 20th of October, the result was, that., on the 25th of the same month, in consequence of the inquiry which was instituted, the guilty author was taken into custody.—(MiniSterial cheers.) Five days only had been occupied in bringing to light a fraud which had been so long perpetrating.—(Cheers.) Let it not be supposed that I mention that fact to gain any credit for the Government, or for their activity, far from it ; but I, do it for this reason. It is surprising that when so many persons had been engaged in the fraud—. amongst the many persons who must have been cognizant of it—there was not one public officer who had given any information whatever on the subject, and the result of the immediate inquiry instituted was, that this fraud, which nits carried on from April, 1836, till October, 1641, had been detected in the short space of time I have already mentioned.—(Cheers.) This is an important matter for the House to bear in mind—it is important to bear in mind that in the progress of this fraud no information had been given to lead to its detection. Upon the discovery of the offence, the Government had but one course to pursue. The first course was to bring to punishment the offender by whose agency this extensive fraud had b( en committed. The unhappy man made a full confession tf his guilt, and mean s w ere t a k en f or ge tti ng hold of the agent w to ho had been pri nc ipally concerned in assisting hi dispose of th ose Bills. An application was made t m o the Government by both parties, for a remissiosn,9 punish ment, An if they gave information upon ai t th of s bi m e it c h _ t : the application was made on the p r principal, that he might receive commutation of his pun ishment if he pleaded guilty , and° gave the Government information. Of course , was impossible for the Government to accept such a proposal. Their duty was to become acq uainted with the minutest de. tails of the fraud, and to punish to the utmost the perpetrators of it. They could not a ll ow t h em to escape without punishment, and th e answer the Government gave to that application was the ~.~~ 114:i4 , . , `T ~ , . i, -~~~ ;tiiii44 t r ~= ~ , ti
