lions, either of which, If not agreed to by the Dei,' 'would amount to a hostile declaration, and his lordship Was to act in consequence. Now, no one could say that these elders were the same as. those given to the hon. `and gallant officer opposite, and that the case of Na 'o4,..in was exactly the same as that of Algiers. There was a hostile attack distinctly decided on in the in structions given to Lord Exmouth in case any one of the three instructions he had received should not be complied with on the part of the Dey of Algiers. His lordship was then, if such should turn out to be the ease, ordered to cause his fleet to enter within the Mole and force compliance to his orders. With re spect to another case cited by the hon. and gallant admiral, namely, that of Sir George Byng, it was by no means a case in parallel. Sir G. I3yng had from his Government express orders to ziestroy the Spanish fleet, to guard the coast of Sicily, and oppose any at tacks made on it by the Spaniards. If the hon. and gallant admiral had met in open sea the Turkish fleet sailing from Egypt for the Morea, and then had stop ped, and an engagement happened to be the result of his interference, then would he have acted ac cording as the instruction he had received directed. Sir F. BURDETT said that ifiethe last hon. gen tleman who had addressed the house felt great pain ih opposing the motion, he ( Sir F. Burdett) felt great pain in seeing that it s h ou ld b e so op Lase If there was any one case th at ever came before that house founded in justice and sound policy, and connected with the very best interests of Parliament and the countrv—if there ever had been such a case, it was that so:Lil was involved in the question which had been row brought forward with so much manliness, mo desty, and heartfelt feeling towards his brave com panions in arms by the hon. and gallant admiral. If ever the general rule talked of ought to be extended it was to the circumstances under which the hon. and gallant admiral acted. The circumstances under which he acted were most perplexing. What 19C16 he to do ? If the hon. and gallant admiral had hot acted as he had done—if he had sailed back from Natarin without effecting what were the views of the government and the country—he would have been generally blamed for having pursued such a line of conduct. The ques tion was twofold. The hon. and gallant admiral was one who had received praise from all quarters and from every party. He had been highly lauded by a late Secretary to the Admiralty (Mr. Croker), who certainly was one that understood such matters, and would not bestow praise unless it were merited. At any rate, if the bon. and gallant admiral had made a mistake with regard to his instructions, which he ( Sir F. B.) was prepared to deny, still he was at least en titled to obtain praise for the merit he displayed in the action. But oven though he had acted as he ought not to hate done, the seamen had nothing to do with it, and `a , ere by no means implicated in his conduct. If seamen were to judge for themselves, and always to consider before going into action whether that action was justifiable or not, what, he would ask, in that case would become of the navy of the country ? (Hear, hear.) But it was said there was no precedent for such a grant. All he could say was that if there did not exist one it was high time that one should be made. He could not very clearly understand what was meant by head-money and by other technicalities, but he could fully understand that these gallant seamen bad been kept out of their property for several years, ever since 1827. ( Hear.) It appeared to him that the present case was the strongest that ever had been brought before Parliament. The gallant admiral was there to justify his brilliant victory—to justify as splendid an action as ever was performed by the great naval heroes of his country.. (A laugh.) Others were accused of not having done their duty, and were obliged to go into their defence for not having done so. But here the case was reversed. Lord ALT H ORP said that as the hon. and gal lant admiral had made a personal appeal to him as to what he (Lord Althorp) had stated one or two years after the action had occurred he would now repeat what he had then said. The question he then asked was, why the action of Patras was not gazetted ? The answer that was at the time given him was that there were doubts as to the brilliancy of that action, and as to whether shots had been fired. He had since as certained that shots were interchanged at that action ; but even though no shots were fired, still was the ac tion a gallant one, since one frigate and two corvettes opposed themselves to fifty Turkish vessels, some of whom. were of large size, stopped them on the course they were pursuing, and obliged them to return to their own, ports. if an action of that sort was not a brilliant one he did not know what was. He was now ready to state it publicly as his opinion that that action was as brilliant a one as ever was fought. (Hear.) He would now come to the question as to the conduct of the hon. and gallant admiral in the engagement of Navarin. He begged to be understood as not throw ing out any insinuations as to the gallantry of that conduct, but it was different from the hon. and gallant admiral's instructions. In going into the port of Na varin he differed from those instructions ; but once in, as his hon. friend had just stated, he did the best he could under the circumstances. When the present Government came into office, his hon. and gallant friend' opposite ( Sir E. Codrington) made the same application that he at present repeated. The present Government paid attention to the case, but when they considered that former Governments had been already applied to. and that they had not thought fit to award the gratuity demanded, they (the present Government) did not consider it proper to reverse the decisions of two former Governments by granting a gratuity which those preceding Governments had refused. How ever, if the present Government had found the case similar to others in which such claims had been hl /owed, they would have thought it proper and just to reverse the decisions of the Governments that had pre ceded them. But it was an action that widely dif fered from others—it was an action purely accidental, and not expected. That was the question they had to consider, and therefore they did consider that the ac tion in question had taken place in a manner quite unprecedented. Since that was the case they could not reverse the decision of the Government under whom the action had taken place. Sir E. CODRINGTON—The action had taken place under the Government of whom Mr. ,Canning was the head, and it had come to no decision. Lord ALT HORP—Not exactly. Mr. Canning was dead, and the head of the Government no longer. Though in truth the head of the Government was no longer the same, still the hon. and • gallant admiral was acting under the then Government, which Govern ' rnent was not acting differently from the instructions given by that of which Mr. Canning was the head. So that the matter came to the same thing. His hon. and gallant friend had complained that the losses of the seamen had not been attended to. He believed that his hon. and gallant friend had been informed that if the claims of those seamen were laid before the Admiralty they would be attended to ; and he further believed that any claims of the sort that had been laid before the Admiralty had been duly attended to. The action in question had arisen, there was no doubt of that, from the imprudence of the opposing party, and it might have arisen from an act of imprudence on the part of the English fleet. There was therefore an important question to consider, viz., whether remune ration ought to be given when an action arose out of the imprudence of any party. The case might soon be reversed, and they might be called upon to recom pense British seamen for some splendid action into which they had been precipitated by their own impru dence. His hon. and gallant friend he trusted would believe him when he said that he looked upon the question with impartiality, but still he was obliged to look upon it as a public man. He considered this • question in the same . light as his colleagues did, and he thought that the house would not be justified in allowing such a grant as the present, particularly when all the circumstances connected with it were taken into consideration. Looking to the action itself he felt bound to say that it was a very brilliant one, and looking to the circumstances under which the action took place no blame could be attributed to his hon. and gallant friend for the way in which he had con ducted himself. On the same grounds as those stated by his hon. friend he regretted that he was forced to give his opposition to the motion. Mr. BUCKINGHAM said it was the duty of the combined fleet to guard and watch the Turko-Egyptian fleet the moment it entered the port of Navarin. The moment the first shot was fired by that fleet it amounted to a declaration of war, so that the technicality on that point was got over. The seamen were under the orders of the hon. and gallant admiral, and if there was any blame it could not rest with them. He considered that the attachment of sailors to the service would be strengthened if the motion of the hon. and gallant ad miral were agreed to. Mr. W A RBURT ON could not well understand the motives of the noble lord for opposing the present motion. The noble lord seemed to think that a general rule would be established, and that if this grant were made it would become a precedent. Why, what was asked ? The hon. and gallant admiral only asked that, from the peculiar circumstances attendant on the present case, head money, or a gratuity, should be granted to the officers mid seamen engaged in the battle of Navarin. He should like to see the govern ment, instead of asserting that the hon. and gallant admiral's instructions were not properly followed, pointing out how those instructions ought to have been followed, and how the Turkish vessels were to be in tercepted and prevented from accomplishing their object. That object every body knew was the spolia tion of Greece, arid the hon. and gallant admiral found that the only way of protecting that country from de vastation was by entering the bay of Navarin. The Turks then fired upon him. What, was he not to fire again ? ( Hear, and a laugh.) Had any one as yet pointed out any other course the hon. and gallant ad miral could have pursued? Besides, were sailors, because they fought under wrong instructions, not to be entitled to the usual recompenses ? Were they to be punished for the faults of their superiors? The overnment should have given the hon. and gallant admiral a cold reception, and have called him before a courtmartial. If there was any fault anywhere it rested with him, and the sailors under his command should not be deprived of the rewards they deserved. Mr. O'CONNELL believed that the house well knew that he was not one of those that would vote away a single farthing of the public money to any per sons unless they deserved it. It seemed to him that in this case the British seamen had nobly done their duty, and that the only question that remained was for the government to call the hon. and gallant admiral before a courtmartial. Hale government did not do so, that would be an approval of his conduct, and that conduct was approved by all the world. If there was no precedent for such a case as this it was high time to make one. The action in question was a great victory achieved in behalf of humanity, and why should there be so much special pleading about it ? There was no special pleading on the part of the British fleet in this instance. They went hand in heart to work—they annihilated the enemy, 'as they always had done, and as they ever would continue to do, unless their spirits were damped by the paltry stinginess of the government and of that house. The time was come when the House of Commons ought to tell the government that British seamen deserved, in this instance, to receive the gratuity they sought for. For his own part he would ever give his vote for men who had, as the present seamen had, achieved a glorious victory in the cause of humanity. Mr. E. J. STANLEY thought that after the strong opinions that had been expressed by the house they ought to agree to the motion. ( Hear, hear.) He could cite several instances in which actions had taken place without any previous declaration of war, and in which the persons engaged in them were considered entitled to be rewarded. He saw no difference be tween this action and those of Algiers and Copenhagen. Sir J. SEBRIG HT also expressed himself favour able to the motion. He would not trouble the house with stating his views at length, but relate an anecdote told him by his father. Formerly there were not so many speakers as there were at present. Only one or two speakers addressed the house on the question unless it was extremely patient and willing to hear them. " You; Sir," said the hon. baronet, addressing the Speaker, "know that that is not the case at pre sent, but that there are numerous speakers on every subject, and perhaps I am an example on this occasion of unnecessarily addressing the house. At the time when the circumstance I am about to relate took place naval officers were not such eloquent and refined men as they are at present. An old Admiral got up with his mouth full of tobacco, and said that on the subject under consideration he had something to communicate. As he did not immediately proceed the Speaker and the whole house Were surprised that he did not pro ceed with his narrative. At length the gallant veteran said, " Mr. Speaker, I am not an orator, but I have been forty years at sea, and I can tell you, Sir, if you do not pay those well who serve you well that atlength you will not be served at all." ( Great laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") He ( Sir J. Sebright) thought this story very applicable at the present moment. Mr. YOUNG thought every credit was due to the gallant admiral who had so liberally sacrificed his own interest on the present occasion. He ( Mr. Young) thought that if they refused to assent to the present motion they went some way towards establishing a dangerous principle with respect to British seamen. It was telling men in the service of the country that in case of an error of judgment on the part of the commander the country might not respond to their claims by the liberality • the house. He thought acting upon such a pri ple was fraught with the -highest possible danger It had been truly said by the hon. member for Brit jort that even if the gallant admiral had been brought to a courtmartial for the battle of Navarin it did not lessen the claims of the seamen. In conclusion, he trusted that by the vote of the house the gallant admiral would be relieved from the responsibility which he felt imposed upon him. Sir R. PRICE urged the noble lord ( Althorp) to withdraw his opposition to the motion of the gallant admiral. He ( Sir R. Price) was not surprised that his noble friend felt some difficulty in acceding to the motion after it had been opposed by two governments ; but after the very strong and general opinion expressed by the members on all sides, nobody would blame the noble lord for withdrawing his opposition. Admiral ADAM also requested the noble lord to withdraw his opposition, and complimented the gal lant admiral ( Sir E. Codrington) on the disinterested ness he had manifested in abandoning all claim for himself. It was perfectly clear, after what had taken place off Patras, that the gallant admiral did not in tend to fight a battle when he entered the port of Navarin, but did so with a view to overawe the Otto man fleet. Mr. HUME doubted the propriety of supporting the motion. He gave every credit to the gallant ad miral for the courage and discretion he had manifested at Navarin and on former occasions, but he thought the noble lord was justified, on the grounds he had stated, in refusing to sanction the motion. If it was thought that by voting with the noble lord it could be supposed that anything like a reflection would be cast on the gallant admiral or the men who fought under him, he (Mr. Hume) would not do so, but he did not think that such could be the case. As three-fourths of the members present were disposed to support the motion, the noble lord would probably be left in a minority. He would therefore suggest the propriety of agreeing to the motion. If the noble lord, how ever, felt bound to resist it, he (Mr. Hume) would vote with him. Mr. HODGE S supported the motion. Lord ALTHORP said that he had stated to the house the grounds on which he had felt it his duty to oppose the motion ; but as the house, with the single exception of the hon. member for Middlesex, took a different view of the subject, and were disposed to concede the motion, he did not feel called upon to persist in his opposition ; he should therefore not op pose the motion. (Hear.) He opposed it in the first instance with great reluctance, and he felt fully justi fied in acceding to the opinion of the house. Ile trusted, however, that if the claim was granted, the name of the gallant admiral would not be omitted (Hear), who certainly deserved reward both for his distinguished services and disinterested conduct. fir E. CODRINGTON could not let the motion pass without expressing his satisfaction at its success. He was satisfied that the noble lord had all along op posed the motion against his own conviction ; and he ( Sir E. Codrington) was extremely glad the noble lord had been at length induced to withdraw his oppo sition. It would be affectation in him to say that he was not gratified at the compliments paid him, and above all at what had fallen from the noble lord. In conclusion he declared that, under the instructions he had received, it was impossible for him to pursue any other course than he did. The motion was then agreed to, and it was ordered that the house resolve itself into committee on Monday se'nnight. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. . . - Mr. COLQUHOUN moved for leave to bring in a bill to regulate and enlarge the provision for paro chial schools in Scotland. The hon. member entered into a long statement with the view of showing the great deficiency of education in Scotland, and stated that the main object of his bill was to have 60,000/. a year granted to pay the salaries of parochial school masters. Mr. EWING seconded the motion. Mr. HUME admitted the expediency of bringing in a bill on the subject. It would be better to inquire and see whether the funds now devoted to education were expended in the best manner. He saw no reason why inquiry should not at once be proceeded with. Mr. S. MACKENZIE also recommended that inquiry should take place previous to proceeding to legislation. Mr. COLQUHOUN had no wish to press the bill during the present session, but was anxious that it should be circulated. Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. STRICKLAND also recom mended inquiry. Sir D. K. SANDFORD agreed with the hon. member for Middlesex that the better way would be to have the subject referred to a committee up stairs, and he hoped his hon. friend would pursue that course. Lord AL TH OR P observed that the question which the house had to decide was whether they would allow the bill to be introduced, and then refer it to. a com mittee up stairs, or whether, adopting the hon. gentle man's plan, they would proceed at once to carry it into effect by passing his bill. With respect to the honourable gentleman's plan, all he (Lord Althorp) could say, having little knowledge of the subject, was, that he so far differed from it as to think the plan of education adopted in England better. But whether the fact was so or not, of one thing he was convinced, and that was, that they shOuld not think of legislating until proper inquiry had first taken place. _ . Mr. H UME, in explanation, said it would be more advantageous to go before a committee before any measure was proposed than afterwards. Mr. COL QUHO UN said that as the sense of the house seemed to be against his motion be should ask permission to withdraw it. After a few words from Mr. RoEnucfc and Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, leave for that purpose was given. Mr. BUCKINGHAM then rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice respecting duelling, but he was interrupted by some hon. gentle man moving that the house be counted. The gallery was cleared, and there being only thirty one members present, the house adjourned at half-past eight o'clock. LIST OF THE MINORITY Of 48 (Tellers included), who, at half-past one o'clock yesterday morning, voted in favour of the second read ing of Mr. Parrott's Bill, for the exemption of lime, as manure, from toll on turnpike roads, in cases of a surplus of receipts over expenditure, for repairs, and interest of mone Aglionby, H.

There was also a small quantity of plate, which brought low prices, and the whole proceeds of the sale were inconsiderable. MADRID, JUNE 4. (From the Morning Herald Private Correspondent.) As by the constitution of the Cortes which has been published, the initiative of all laws belongs to the Crown, I have been informed that the following drafts of measures relating to the debt, of all others the most important to Spain at this moment, is now under the deliberation of the Council of Regency. DECREE I. (Single Article.) The debt of 80 millions of francs recognised by the treaty of 30th November, 1828, shall continue to be paid in full, and until its final extinction, according to the conditions stipulated. DECREE 11. Art. 1. The debt acknowledged by the treaty of London shall continue to be paid in full, until finally discharged, according to the terms secured by that convention. Art. 2. The 'Minister of Finance to be authorised to take such measures as he shall deem best for the purchase of this debt at 60 per cent., and even to negotiate for a new loan for that purpose, if, he can do so upon advan tageous terms. DECREE 111 Art. 1. The whole of the debt contracted by " Consti tutional Spain" to be again inscribed on the great book of the Spanish debt, and to bear the same interest as was promised at the time of making these loans. Art. 2. The interest in arrear upon this debt, since 1823, to be " capitalised," and converted into new bonds, bearing three per cent. Art. 3. The interest in arrear upon bonds converted under the decree of 1831, to be equally converted into bonds bearing three per cent. DECREE IV. Art. 1. The debts contracted since 1823, and up to the present time, even the " Royal loan of Guebbard," to continue to be recognised as portion of the legitimate debt of Spain. Art. 2. The Minister of Finance to be authorised to propose the most convenient mode of paying off this Guebhard loan, even by a new loan, provided the operation be not too injurious to the Treasury. DECREE V. Art. 1. The whole of the Spanish debt, properly called the " domestic" debt, including bonds and securities not now bearing interest, rentes viageres, &c., to be capi talised, and in future to be paid three per cent., and to, be inscribed in the great book of the State. Art. 2. These claims must be verified within four months at the utmost from the date of publication of the decree. DECREE Vt. Art. 1. Proposes to inscribe upon the great book of the public debt 30 millions of rentes for the indemnification of the purchasers of the national domains, which were sold at the constitutional epoch. Art. 2. A commission to be named to apportion this indemnity to the parties interested. These six decrees are bedated anterior to DECREE VII. Looking at the present condition of the finances, and the necessity of consolidating definitively the credit of the country, it is proposed to decree as follows : Art. 1. The whole of the Spanish debt, of which men tion is made in the preceding decrees, shall be reduced proportionally, and according to its assigned price one third—those debts which are provided for by diplomatic treaties always excepted. Art. 2. The other two-thirds of the debts to be con verted into a deferred stock of 100 parts, of which one part shall be drawn yearly for a hundred consecutive years, and the winner to receive 3 per cent. upon his claim ! ! Art. 3. The whole of the Spanish debt shall be called, without exception, the national debt, and shall be entitled to receive a uniform interest of 3 per cent., to be paid fractionally every four months. Art. 4. There shall be created a sinking fund of 1 per cent. upon the whole. Art. J. This decree to repeal all former ones upon this subject. The Government is becoming unpopular. There is a general complaint that the Queen has been sur rounded by creatures of the Ministers. Thus General Quiroga, upon his return from so long an exile, and so much suffering, has been allowed to remain eight days at Aranjuez, without seeing her Majesty, and at last he returned to Madrid in entire disgust. Several other refugees of rank have been exposed to the same slights. A report has been prevalent here for some days that the Curate Merino had been taken by Colonel Albuen, who has been known to be long in pursuit of him, and shot, but it is not generally credited. The Russian Ambassador has at last quitted Madrid, and at this moment there is not a single representative of any one of the Holy Alliance Courts in this capital. From a calculation which has been made, it would appear that the reduction of Evora, in Portugal, cost this country eight millions of reals, and the campaign generally upwards of twelve millions.

BAYONNE, JUNE 11.—It is stated with confidence that before the 15th instant there will be an accession of 8,000 men from Portugal to the Queen's forces in the north.

DEATH 'OF DOCTOR DOYLE—We have received intelligence of the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Doyle. He departed this life yesterday at his residence, Carlow. The death of this great and good man has been long anticipated, though some hopes were entertained that upon the appointment of a coad jutor he might have discharged from his mind the im portant duties of his station, and have removed to a more congenial climate, but it pleased God to will it otherwise, and he has departed, leaving few men his equals in e m i nen t t a l en t s , o r true Christian philan thropy. —Dublin Mercantile Advertiser. A rich tanner has just died in Paris, leaving a will, by which he imposes on his heirs the obligation to bury him in a well-tanned hide, with the tools be longing to his trade. He also requires that a monu ment should be erected to his memory in the centre of his establishment, in order that he may be in the midst of his workmen even after death. Whilst the magistrates of Hertford were sitting in Petty SessiOns the other day, they were in formed that a young man intended to offer his wife for sale in the public market. By order of the magis trates, the town-clerk and constables repaired to the spot, in order to apprehend the parties. A crowd had assembled to witness the sale, but the husband was not forthcoming at the time appointed ; and on the t a e p n p d e e a d r anc purchaser,e of f the w a h u o t m h o r s i h t i e e s h , a t h d e h e fa r i s r - en deavoured to make off. They were, however, stopped by the constables, and taken before the bench, where the lady evinced some symptoms of fainting. She had somewhat of a delicate appearance, but her in tended purchaser, a man of the name of Henry Har rison, possessed a person of Herculean strength. The husband shortly made his appearance, and announced his intention of selling the woman if he could find a purchaser, and as he was anxious to get rid of her he should not ask much, but would knock her down to anybody for half-a-crown. He was cautioned by the magistrates, and told that he was committing a breach of the peace, but he still persisted in his intention of putting up the lady for sale. He stated that his name was George Falkner, that he was a rag and bone merchant living at Westwick-row, that he married the woman about four years ago, and had left her nearly three years. He had always found her a bad bargain, and had therefore come to the market for the express purpose of selling her, which he was determined to do, for half-a-crown, if anybody would buy her. The bench ordered him to enter into his own recognizance of 9.0/., and one surety of 20/., to keep the peace till the sessions, when he was liable to be indicted ; in default of which he was committed to gaol. On the parties leaving the Court-house, they were followed by a number of persons, who hooted and pushed them about until they were obliged to seek shelter in a house. The woman has been seriously ill from the injuries received. KINGI 'THEATRE The opinion of the musical world appears to be divided with regard to the merit of L'Assedio di Co rinto, but the difference of opinion has reference only to the degree of excellence possessed by this Opera, for no person of musical knowledge can deny the great and singular beauties which are to Le found in the music. We regretted very much to find that last night Mademoiselle Grisi was so indisposed as to be unable to execute the music in her own part. In what she did attempt, her voice was so weak that she could scarcely be heard, and many of the finest scenes in the Opera were omitted in consequence of her in ability to sing them. Misfortunes seldom come alone, and the illness of the prima donna in the Opera was followed by a still more fatal indisposition of the pri mijre danseuse in the Ballet. Taglioni had been an nounced in the bills to dance a polonaise, and also the shawl dance with Fanny Elsler. After a very long interval, the curtain rose for the Ballet, and it was soon found by the order of the dances that its prime attraction was not to appear. Considerable disappro bation was manifested from time to time, notwith standing the exertions of Perrot and the other prin cipal dancers ; and when it became evident that the closing dance had begun, there was very general hiss ing, and loud calls of " Laporte," &c. The Ma nager at last appeared in propria persona, and thus addressed the audience :—" Ladies and Gentlemen -1 must really throw myself upon your kind indulgence (Loud calls of ' Taglioni,' and disapprobation. ) An unfortunate circumstance—( Interruption)—has oc curred to me to-night.—( Cries of ' Pay her.')—lt is impossible for me to bring Madlle. Taglioni into the house by force, and I cannot make her dance if she will not. interruption, and cries of Why don't you pay her?')—The Manager only replied by shrugging his shoulders, and bowing himself out amidst a confusion and outcry seldom heard within these walls. It is said, we know not how truly, that the de'esse of the short robe adopts the practice of the gentlemen of the long robe, and requires her fee for every step in advance, and that the inability of the manager to meet her demands was the cause of this disappointment.

FETE FOR THE EAR DISPENSARY.-A Fete Champetre was given yesterday at Crernorne House, Chelsea, in aid of the funds for the Royal Dispensary for diseases of the ear. The company as sembled were numerous, and appeared much to admire the situation of the mansion, and the taste with which the grounds are laid out. The amusements were a roving match on the river ; tilting at the ring and other equestrian exercises ; Bavarian dances (which, by the way, were no other than the common quadrilles) , and various specimens of gymnastic feats. Among the latter was the expedition of the rope-dancer, who, besides hanging, now by one arm, now by one foot, professes alone to suspend himself from the rope by his neck. It may be recollected that last season at Vauxhall this performer had wellnigh strangled him self in right earnest, by remaining too long suspended. Yesterday, through the negligence of the persons ap pointed to watch him, the very same accident occurred, and in a more serious degree. He had been hanging nearly a quarter of an hour, and had become quite motionless, when some gentlemen present insisted upon the rope being lowered, though his attendants continued to assert that it was " all right. - On his being taken down, however, and laid on the grass, life was to all appearance quite extinct. His countenance had assumed a livid hue, and he did not breathe. lie was speedily retuoved, into the house, where he was bled ; and every means to restore him be i ng resorted to, we believe, when the gardens closed, ho pes were entertained of his recovery. SOUTHAMPTON a COMMERCIAL PORT. The following are extracts from the evidence adduced before the Lords' Committee on the London and Southampton Railway Bill : Capt. GEORGE ELLIOTT, R.N., examined. How long have you been in the navy ?—Forty years. Are you acquainted _with Southampton harbour ? Not very intimately ; but I am generally acquainted with it. Are you sufficiently acquainted with it to be able to speak of it as a commercial port ?—Perfectly. It has a very extensive and a very secure anchorage. It would contain as many vessels as any mercantile port would require. I consider it to be extremely acces sible in most winds. Do you think it would be any advantage to the nevi,' to have a commercial port near Portsmouth?—(4' might be an advantage to the navy to have a com. mercial port near Portsmouth ; it could not be any advantage to the shipping frequenting Portsmouth. Would it be any advantage for he purpose of pro curing seamen in the time of war ?—Certainly, if there was a large supply of seamen. Is there any objection on the part of Government to having Portsmouth a commercial port ?—I a m not authorised to speak here in the name of the Admiralty, but it is within my knowledge that there always has been a decided objection to establishing a commercial port at Portsmouth. If it is desirable to have a port in that part of the channel, of course it must be convenient to have a port like Southampton for the purpose of a commer cial port ?—I consider that Southampton is the only eligible situation for a commercial port between Ply mouth and the Thames. n e a I r n e the r e a case c h saayscooiyi oaotdfti unalh?d o art— f saebvhernayeoa w usl ; Southampton r with France, that if the proposed facility of communication were made between Southampton and London, it would be of any great advantage that ships should unload there instead of going round the Downs ?—Of course it must be considered a great advantage in time .of war with a view to avoiding the most dangerous part of the channel. I should consider, -generally speaking, that the danger between the Isle - of Wight and the Thames would be equal to the danger of the longest voyage up to the Isle of Wight. In consequence of the improvement of steam navi gation, do you apprehend that in the case of a War owwt t ms i eft ooemou e uluasis r inpellmt e dddio,nal,dbyn .tohmiie would etnoasatgntrsook,een,epl,ga,l be more danger than formerly narrow parts of the channel ?—Unquestionably. proper times of tide a i tl i t hi dpet a oord d r taeieti.scoai rates atsdmhbooal London they have a difficulty in getting back again ; but a Do you conceive that the making a railway from commercial port ?—With the railroad that is in con are to be charged for goods going, I should think it ' reason for thinking so is, that I consider the expense coming round by the Thames, even in time of peace, on many articles. Are you aware of ships of the line ever having been built in the river Itchen ?—I have never seen ships built there, but I have official returns that such ships have been built there. Do you know of what size 1-1 have official returns Ivpsex hbahot:renfooiieri 1 dpdlinonl daeisgmsnderwmisgrvvt iosaleinittutknahahltittendeen: godg, motrei dangermt Southamptonhl comeh : 0 00eedaufri i re c riredgs o i win : t s at coasts unong s vdeeeor, under out sail of five ships of the line having been built up the Itchen, and two more are said to have been built at Southamp ton, but that of course means in the Itchen river, and eleven frigates and nineteen smaller vessels.

The commercial part of the I,'''4 harbour is allotted to the commerce ; and being merely t the commerce for the town of Portsmouth, I cannot say that it has been annoyed by it. Is not the commerce considerable ?—I consider it only the commerce of the immediate neighbourhood. Captain CORNELIUS CARTER, R.N., examined. Supposing a cheap and rapid communication were effected by a railway between London and South ampton, would not that increase the commercial traffic considerably ?—I conceive so. Hitherto we have had the supplies for the navy chiefly from the eastern ports. I conceive that if a railway were established between London and Southampton, we might bring stores of all description across the country, and fit the navy out much better than we have done before. You have heard the evidence of Captain Elliott as to the danger that might result from the introducti on of steam vessels in time of war, with res p ect to pr_l vateering ; do you agree in that evidence ?—CertainlY t te h hv eae than d ce a ov n ue g lrd e i r tfi twns e to aa i i ; a expedition pe iogamdtiuitoicn outnoh o i s ii , o th that aftt hie d po respect onwo is tnsv ,h thinkt.gi rte you o r il safety that we did before the invention of steam.
