TYPHUVER.--We are sorry to learn that this afflicting malady continues to rage in Greyrigg,. cud we have b een i nformed that three in one family of the name of TODD, have died within these few days.— ,--Westmoreland Advertiser. The memorialists have set forth, in striking but tem perate and respectful language, the evils resulting to the commercial interests of this country from the measures which Ferdinand of Spain has adopted, and still appears to meditate, towards the infant republics of Americ i, and principally towards the Mexican states. The capital which has been embarked by British sub jects in commercial transactions with the citizens of these new states, and in pecuniary assistance to their Govern. ments, is calculated, as appears from the memorial, at ne,rly 27,000,0001. sterling, of which little short of 10,000,0001. has been given to merchandise and mines. When it is considered how anxiously England has always watched ever the welfare of her subjects engaged in the pur suits of lawful industry, no matter how remote from their native Lind may be the scene of thuir exertions, we con cur with the memorialists in the confidence they express that his Majesty's present Government will not withdraw the shield of British power and justice from -so numerous a class of Englishmen, who have done nothing to forfeit the protection due to them from their Sovereign, but that the Ministers of Ferdinand will be told that they shall not continue to harass private interests by a system of petty aggressions assuming the character and pretence of war, but utterly imbecile as regards the accomplishment of any one object of fair and recognised hostility. Ferdinand might as well invade the Moon as any por tion of America, but he may vent his spite in retarding her advance towards internal tranquillity, civilization, and wealth. lie may force the republics to keep up armies— to commit unsafe power to military chiefs—to postpone the commencement of useful undertakings—and to divert to other objects the funds which would long since, but for the menaces of Spain, have been appropriated to the dis charge of their pecuniary engagements. But these mis chiefs, we make bold to affirm, a British Government ought not, by further forbearance, any longer to assist in perpetuating. As for negotiating with Ferdinand, or re monstrating with, or importuning him, he and his Catna rilla make a mockery of all such forms. He and they must be coerced ; there is no second mode of dealing with a knavish Cabinet. No answer in writing has been returned to this memo rial. A deputation from the Committee had an interview with Lord Aberdeen upon it, in which he said Govern ment had lost no opportunity, and would lose none, of ' urging upon Spain, in a friendly way, the alteration of her course of policy towards the new States of America; that we must recollect that friendly means were the only proper ones for us to use towards a friendly and indepen dent State ; that he thought what had passed regarding Cuba had been very much misunderstood ; that he was persuaded Mr. Canning had done nothing more than de precate any such project as that of raising the negro po pulation of Cuba ; and, finally, in answer to a question put to him by one of the deputation, that Government had no information whatever leading them to believe that any attack, either from Cadiz or from Cuba, or any part of Spanish America, was at this moment in contemplation. The above-mentioned claims to the protection of our Government are those of British subjects only : the claims of Mexico are, in our opinion, equally strong, and have been repeatedly alluded to in this journal ; but they in volve the question of Cuba, which we must take some other opportunity of again submitting to the considera tion of his Majesty's Ministers. To the RIGHT HON. the EARL of ABERDEEN, &c. North and South American Coffee-house, April 14. MY Loan,--1 am requested by the Committee of the South American and Mexican Association to acknowledge, with their respectful thanks, the honour of your Lordship's letter of the 12th ult., in answer to the representation of the Committee, on the subject of the policy pursued by his Majesty's Government in relation to the island of Cuba, and its effect on the new States of America. The Committee are sensible of the importance attached by his Majesty's Government to all questions affecting the welfare of the new States of America. They would therefore be very un willing to trouble your Lordships again on the subject, did they not entertain a strong hope that his Majesty's Government may be induced to interfere in a yet more decided manner, to put an end to the evils-which the hostility o 4 Use .Court of Spain is in flicting on all persons engaged in intercourse with these new States, without the slightest advantage in that country. Twenty-one years have now elap ed since the warfare between Spain and its late colonies commenced. At the beginning of that period the Crown of Spain held possession of every post and fortification throughout those extensive countries, and sustained its dominion over them by a large military force. For many years past, and at this moment, Spanish dominion and authority there - have been wholly extinct ; not a soldier remains there in its service, nor is there any portion of territory remaining over which the Spanish Government exercises even a nominal autho rity or controul. . . _ No stronger additional proof can be afforded of the entire anni hilation both of Spanish authority end influence, in one of the most powerful of those States, the Republic of Mexico, than the fact that on the landing of a military force on its shores in the month of August last year (which remained sonic months in the country), not a single Mexican was found to join the standard of the King of S. , ain. The foregoing facts being beyond all controversy, it does ap pear to the Committee a great hardship that persons pursuing their commercial dealings with countries which have so unequi vocally established their own independence, should be subjected to the inconveniences which are thrown upon them by the conti nued and unprofitable hostility of the Court of Spain. A constant threat of invasion, both from Cuba and from Spain itself, is kept up, accompanied by demonstrations which call for unceasing vigilance on the part of those against whom they are directed, the consequences of which are in every way most inju rious to commercial intercourse. Large masses of military force are kept up, which, by means of the enormous expence they en tail, exhaust the resources of the respective Governments, and disable them from paying their just debts ' whilst they sustain in an undue prouortion the importance of military chiefs, and greatly retard the advancement of political and civil institutions of those countries. Ibe disorders of privateering and piracy are perpetuated—each fresh alarm is the occasion for contributions, in some shape or other, being levied on commerce—internal com munications are suspended—labourers are taken from the pur suits of industry (whether agricultural or mining) to join the array, and all those interruptions are experienced which are so injurious and often so fatal to commercial undertakings. It is a circumstance not unworthy of remark, that since the establishment of the independence of these countries, no insur rection has taken place in them that has not been effected through the instrumentality of military chiefs. If these evils were to be endured by reason of measures on the part of the Spanish Government, tending towards any attainable and legitimate object of its own, the Committee might hesitate to bring them to your Lordships' notice, but they feel that they are guilty of no presumption in asserting that the restoration of the dominion of Spain over its former colonies is an event too far beyond the limits of human probability to fall within any rational computation. The questions therefore would seem to arise,—for what unli. mited period of time is Spain justified in interrupting the inter course of other nations with her former colonies ? Whether 21 years of warfare issuing in the manner this warfare has done are sufficient to determine her rights ? If they are not determined now, at what period they ever will be ? And whether Great Britain, having many years since recognised these States, and thereby sanctioned her subjects in dealing with them, is to be expected any longer to submit to the injury she is now hourly sustaining by the conduct of Spain ? The amount of British capital involved in this subject may be stated, at the lowest computation, as follows, viz. : In trade with Mexico, Colombia, Buenos Ayres, Chili, Peru, and Central America .f5,000,000 In mines in the above countries, principally in Mexico 4,800,000 In debts due by their respective Governments 17,000,000 £26,8',0,000 Large as this amount is, it derives additional importance from the prospective consideration of the vast scope for commercial ac tivity which these countries present, not only to Great Britain, but to other nations of Europe, including Spain herself. The produce of the Mexican mines has been doubled since British ca pital has been directed to them ; a large population has been re stored to industrious employment; a taste for European manu factures is spreading amongst the natives, and nothing, in short, is wanting to establish a steady, active, and beneficial in tercourse between these countries and Europe but a state of in ternal repose, which they never can enjoy so long as the hostile attitude of Spain keeps alive all those elements of danger and mischief which have been already enumerated. The Committee, therefore, venture to express their humble hope that his Majesty's Go, ernment may see it right to interfere with the Court of Spain, either by the establishment of a truce between the two parties for a term of years, or in such other man ner as may seem fit, so as to secure British 'subjects, carrying on a peaceful and legitimate commerce, from a continuance of the in terruptions and grievances to which they are constantly exposed by the continuance of an hostility on the part of Spain, which in its practical effect is nothing short of a direct warfare on the fair extension of British commerce. WII have the honour LLIAM THOMPSON, Chairman of the South American and Mexican Association. A report is in circulation among persons seemingly well informed, which we give as it has reached us, in expectation of an official bulletin to confirm or qualify the following statement. A female, whose name has been connected with the miracles at Port Glasgow, ►ha►i recently determined to exhibit the power of her faith, the want of which alone she alleges to have caused the cessation of miraculous powers in the Church. After all the modes of solemn preparation, and the imposing tone of authority assumed by her in commanding a little crip ple fellow to " rise up and walk," in the style of PETER and Joww at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, insti.a. I of walking, and leaping, and praising GOD for the heaven sprung gift, so far surpati-ing the alms he had expected to receive, the urchin protested to the young lady, after an attempt to comply, " as true as death I really canna, unless you give me my stilts."— Glasgow Chronicle. HOUSE OF LORDS—(LAST NIGHT). The Earl of ELDON presented a petition from the Grand Jurors of Denbia, against• the proposed alterations in the Welch Judicature. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from Devon, praying that the punishment of death for forgery should be abolished. The Archbishop of YORK and Earl FITZWIL LIAM presented petitions from Halifax and other places in Yorkshire, praying for the abolition of Negro Slavery. The Duke of MONTROSE, in presenting a pe tition from the county of Stirling against the im position of any additional duty on British spirits, took the opportunity, as Lord Lieutenant of the county,of expressing his conviction that, the slightest addition of duty would be destructive to the British distillers, arid prove an encouragement to smuggling. Lord CALTHORPE, in presenting a petition from the physicians and' surgeons of the West minster Medical Society, praying for some legisla tive • measure to facilitate the study of anatomy,. would take an early opportunity of laying a Bill upon the subject on their Lordships' table. The Duke of NORFOLK presented a petition, praying for the formation of an Institution for the instruction of the deaf and dumb. Lord KING presented a petition from the county of Cork against tithes. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a pe tition from Warrington, against the East India monopoly. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from the Ship-owners of Sunderland, complaining of distress, and praying for an alteration of the Navigation Laws. Lord DURHAM also presented a petition from the seamen of Sunderland, praying for the abolition of the practice of deducting a portion of their wages for the support of Greenwich Hospital; and a pe tition from the Protestant Dissenters of South Shields, praying for the introduction of a general system of registration. Viscount GODERICH presented a petition from the Hop Factors of Sussex, praying for the repeal of the Malt Duties. Mr. Tomline, from the Treasury, presented re- turns of the export arid import of coals. Mr. Preston, from the East India Company, pre sented the Financial Estimates of the Company for the year. The Earl of MALMESBURY, adverting to the notice which he had given respecting the neglect of Mr. Jepp, the Acting Treasurer for the Western Division of the county of Essex, to return certain important papers pursuant to the orders of the House, entered into a statement of the importance of the papers, and of the various fruitless and unan swered applications which had been made to Mr. Jepp for their production. Since he had called the attention of their Lordships to the subject, however, the returns had been made. He now moved that Mr. Jepp be called to the. bar to account for his con duct. The LORD CHANCELLOR accordingly'ordered Mr. Jepp to be called in ; and on his appearance asked him what reason he could assign for having disobeyed the orders of the House ? Mr. Jepp was extremely sorry for what had hap pened. Some of the papers he had had difficulty in finding, others he had laid aside, but had forgot the circumstance. He meant no disrespect whatever to their Lordships, begged their Lordships' pardon, and hoped the House would forgive him. Mr. Jepp was - then ordered to withdraw from the Bar, but to remain in attendance. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that as the papers in question had been produced, and taking into consideration the contrite manner in which Mr. Jepp had expre s sed himself, and the very proper tone of his apology, he would merely move that Mr. Jepp be called in, reprimanded, and discharged. Mr. Jepp was accordingly re-called to the Bar, and addressed by the Lord Chancellor to the fol lowing effect Mr. Jepp: You have been guilty of a serious offence in disobeying the order of this House; and for that misconduct you were liable to be committed to prison. Having, however, ex pressed your contrition, the House has thought pro per to extend its indulgence to you, arid to order that you be discharged; arid you are discharged ac cordingly." Shakerley's Divoree Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. COMMUTATION OF TITHES. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY rose to lay on their Lordships' Table a Bill for the Commu tstion of Tithes in England and Wales. Many ob jections had from time to time been made to the mode in %vhich the incumbents of livings had ob tained their tithes. It had frequently beer: alleged, and probably with truth, that farmers were in many cases prevented from laying out capital in the im provement of their land by the existing arrangement respecting tithes. Different modes had been pro posed for obviating the evils of the present state of things. To any principle of commutation founded on the extinction of tithes he should most decidedly object ; but some means of effecting a voluntary and temporary agreement between the parties con cerned might, in his opinion, be adopted ►with great advantage. He was sure he might say that the Clergy in general were very desirous of some such arrangement. The Bill which he should have the honour to lay on their Lordships' Table was founded o►► the Act of a similar kind which had for some time been in force in Ireland, and which he under stood had been productive of great good in that country. What he proposed was, to allow parties to enter into a composition in some caws for twenty one, in some cases for fourteen years, to be regulated by the price of corn. His Grace here entered into the details of the Bill respecting the appointment of Commissioners for the purpose of carrying its provisions into effect, by ascerta►ning the value of tithes, and by making such arrangements as would be most equitable with reference to all parties con cerned. He intended to provide, that in some cases the parties should be at once empowered to name a sum for which they would be disposed to compound. With respect to existing modusses, he shrunk from touching upon them, as it was a subject which had perplexed many able lawyers; but he should be hap p y to see that part of the subject provided for in a distinct measure. His Grace concluded by moving that the Bill be read a first time. The Earl of ELDON had reason to believe that a large body, both of the Laity and of the Clergy, were of opinion that the Bill might be considerably improved. The Bill was then read a first time. ABDUCTION. The Bishop of LONDON postponed until to morrow his motion for the appointment of a Com mittee to ing , tire into the expediency of annulling the marriage between Eliza itckson and Thomas Buckstone. in li: barely latnlc4." 30 51 34 .... a.... .0. 10 -- ... untrY.- ----- Wbeitt led last riestis.

On the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY, the House then resolved itself into a Committee on the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill, and several witnesses having been called in and examined, their Lordships adjourned at nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(LAST NIGHT). Lord PALMERSTON, as Chairman of the Rye Election Committee, stated that the Committee had been impeded in its progress by the absence of Gen. King, on account of illness. Dr. Mactaggart gave Vr. WALLACE presented a petition from the pop rietots of Waterloo-bridge, praying that an opening might be made from Waterloo-bridge to Tottenham Court-road. Sir J. YORKE observed, that on a former day he had himself presented a petition on the subject, but he had not been able to say anything upon it in consequence of the discussion of a great question of Community, Unity, Navigation, and Trade. He thought the subject one of considerable importance, as nothing was more wanted than such an opening as that prayed by the petition. At present all who wished to proceed in a northerly direction through London, had to thread the needle in the delightful and odorous neighbourhood of Seven Dials. If the ground were bought by the public for the purpose, and again sold when it was accomplished, the nation would be no loser, and the town a great gainer. If any premium were wanted to induce Ministers to consent to the plan, it might be given them by naming some of the streets and squares after them. Already we had Waterloo-bridge and Wellington street, and to these might be added Murray-square, Peel -crescent, Goulburn-place, and Dawson-alley.— (Laughter.)—This might be a proper compliment; and during the late expeditions to the North Pole it had been very properly paid to many distinguished individuals : on the map were seen Melville Island, Barrow's Straits, Croker Mountains (which, by the way, Captain Parry had subsequently sailed over), sad hut, not least, Warrender Head.—(Laughter.) —He believed that the Speaker and the House at large were not at all aware of the nature and con dition of Seven Dials, and, perhaps, the best way of informing them would be for the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the House thither to hear the Royal Assent given to certain public and private Bills. The petition was laid upon the table, and ordered to be printed. THE BEER BILL. Mr. BRAMSTON presented a petition from Chelmsford against the Sale of Beer Bill. THE IRISH PRESS. An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from Newry against the increased Duty on Spirits and Stamps in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the petition. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Man chester and Salford against the severity of the law against forgery. Also a petition from the solicitors and attorneys of the same place against the Bill for altering the Administration of Justice. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. GOULBURN said, that as it was now past seven o'clock, he thought public business ought to be commenced, and the Committee of Supply no longer postponed. Colonel DAVIES said, that there were many petitions yet remained to be presented. After a few words from Mr. Baring, Lord Al thorp, Sir G. Warrender, arid Alderman Wood, it was agreed that the z , peaker should call on public business at eight o'clock.

BROWNLOW — hada petition to present against the proposed duty on Irish Newspaper Stamps, and upon Advertisements published in Irish Newspapers. He conceived that the peti tioners had made out a very strong case of grievance to lay before the House. In the Budget, the Right Hon. Gentleman had informed the House that he intended to propose the imposition of 83 per cent on the newspaper stamps in Ireland ; and he begged the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to two petitions with which he had been entrusted—they were from the letter-press printers in Belfast, and from those of Newry, to the same effect. They were, as might naturally be expected, exceedingly alarmed at the proposed additional impost. It was an impost of 40 per cent., being no less than 3s. 6(1. on each tinguishing the newspaper press in Ireland. But, though there might not exist such an intention, yet the remit would he exactly the same ;—a consider able portion of them would be altogether annihilated ; and the circulation, even of those not destroyed, would be very materially impeded. If their object was to extend the revenue of Ireland, they were cer tainly not taking the right course. The newspaper trade of Ireland was already a declining trade. In 1812, the charge on advertisements was Is. 6d., and the income arising from it at that period was 26,0001.; it had been raised to 2s. 6d. and the in come was reduced to 14,0001. The falling off be tween 1812 and 1830 was 11,0001.—(Se the Hon. Member said, but it will be seen that the difference between the sums he mentioned is 12,0000-1 u the face, then, of that declining revenue, they (the Ministers) came forward, and for the sake of the re venue, and for the sake of that alone, they proposed the present ill-advised impost. He felt perfectly satisfied, that if they lowered the duties, they would increase the revenue-nay, have a much greater re venue than any change of circumstances in the con dition of the country could have the effect of pro ducing under the high duties. The petitions he held in his hand were well entitled to respect, and he hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would pause before he pushed his proposal to extremity. After a few words from Mr. JEPttsoN, Mr. HUME, and Mr. JAMES GRATTAN, Sir HENRY PARNELL said there was no tax which more culled for reduction than did the duty on newspaper-stamps and advertisements. Both petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. BROWNLOW moved for a return of all sums expended on Buckingham House Palace since the last return, with an estimate of the probable further expence.—Agreed to. • Sir G. WARRENDER presented_ a petition from the farmers of the county of Hadilington against any increase in th• duty on spirits. Sir G. WARRENDER also presented a peti tion from Glasgow, praying that trial by jury might be extended to the Provincial Courts. PETITIONS.—LOAN TO GREECE.—SUPERAN NUATIONS, &c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the Supply. Lord EBRINGTON suggested that there were still several petitions unpresented. The SPEAKER said that perhaps, as the even- 'frig was advanced (half-past eight), the petitions might be presented after the despatch of th• public business. Mr. HUME stated that on Friday, before going into the Committee of :supply, he should move a vote of censure on Ministers for granting retired allowances to two Commissioners of the late Lot tery, while they were still retained in the actual service of Government—one of those Commis sioners holding two offices, for which he received 12001. a-year; and the other three, for which he received 21001. a-year. These allowances he looked upon as contrary to the spirit of the Speech from the Throne, and of the expressed determination of that House: (Hear, hear.) —He hoped the House would support his motion, as the only means of checking such extravagance. Sir G. WARRENDER asked when the Lord Advocate would bring forward his Bill relative to Scotch Law Reform ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, thet in the state of the business of the House, it was impossible to tell. It would, however, be proceeded with as soon as possible. Lord MILTON suggested that it would be de corous to go through with the petitions of the people before they were called upon by the Mini sters to vote away the money of the people. At the end of the evening perhaps twenty Members would not be present. He appealed to the Speaker. The SPEAKER said, that as many Members as were sufficient to transact the business of the country w ere, probably, sufficient to receive the petitions that still remained to be presented.—(Hear, hear.) — By the list which he had he knew that there would be fifty Members present, as there were fifty Mem bers to present petitions.—(Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped that it would not be thought that he was un dervaluing the petitions of the people, by proposing to go on svith the public business. Mr. FERGUSSON complained that all public business came on late. Mr. E. DAVENPORT said, that what with excess of noise in the early part of the evening, and paucity of Members in the latter part, there was little to choose. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman when he pro posed to present the petition from Birmingham, as it was desirable that his Right Hon. Friend (Sir R. Peel) should be present. Mr. E. DAVENPORT would postpone it till Monday, when he understood the Right Hon. Se cretary would be ready to attend. The Right Hon. Gentleman having asked him a question, he would beg leave to ask him one in return. It should be remembered that the Parliament was getting old, and, indeed, it was not expected to survive the year, and it was therefore right that the country should be informed on the subject; the subject to which he alluded was a Protocol, said by an Even ing Paper to have been signed by the Ministers of France, England, and Ruseia.—This paper purported to be an engagement on the part of those three Powers for guaranteeing a loan to the Greek Go vernment. The amount was understood (hut that did not appear from the document) to be between two and three millions, each Power being answer able for one-third, viz. 800,0001. Without express ing any opinion, what he wished was, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should state to the House whether such an engagement hai been entered into on the part of this country; in which case lion. Gentlemen would judge for themselves whe ther it was fittiog that the British House of Com mons should be the last body in Europe remaining in ignorance of the tratkaction.—(Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the lion. Gentleman would not hold it as any disrespect to himself if he stated that he considered it inconvenient in the extreme to enter into the points of the negociation that was going on, on ac count of any statements that might appear in fo reign or domestic Newspapers. tie thought it more prudent to give no answer to the question of the Hon. Gentleman. Lord MILTON should postpone his petition from Leeds, on the same grounds that had induced the Hon. Gentleman to postpone the petition from Bir mingham. Lord EBRINGTON had not for a moment put the presenting of petitions in competition with the more important business of the House. Mr. HUME said that the question of the liability The motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair was put and agreed to, and the Hon,e went into Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the first resolution, which was that 6;000/. be granted to his Majesty towards delrnying the ex penses of erecting churches in the West - Indie• , . Mr. R. GORDON thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to give some information respec lag this vote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that this vote arose out of proceedings whirl( had taken place in that House in 1825, when it was determined that means should be taken to improve religious worship in the 'West Indies. In pursuing this resolution it was found that the only Way to execute it was to provide plae - es in which congrega tions could be addressed, and it was therefore agreed that churches should be erected, part of the e'- penses of which were to be defrayed by the Govern ment, and part by the' colonists themselves. Of the expenses thus incurred, the' colonies had paid 23,9301.; and this country, if the present: vote pa•sA, would have paid 21,4661. Mr. R. GORDON said his complaint was, that Members of Parliament knew not where to get in formation respecting the distribution 'of the sums thus voted. Searching for this information some time ago, and asking for direction in every quarter, he had been told by an Hon. Friend of his to look into the army extraordinaries.—( Hear and laughter.) Well, he did look into the - army extraordinaries, and there he found a sum charged for the Bishop's house at Barbadoer;;;4fiesv?.seid.laughter.) He thought that the residences of Bishops were not properly included in sums voted for the erection of churches. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the first vote was in 1827, and the esti mate on that occasion mentioned the providing resi dences for Bishops in the West Indies. Sir J. GRAHAM found, in the civil contingt-n -cies, a sum of 5081. charged for the very same pur pose which his Friend (Mr. R. Gordon) had men tioned as occurring in the army extraordinaries. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that one was for the house of the Bishop of Barbadoes, and the other for the house of the Bishop of the Leeward Islands. Mr. HUME said that the time was come when there ought to be an sad of erecting palaces for Bishops in the West Indies. He begged to know if any more of the public money was to be so laid out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that when the Bishops first went our, they were obliged to rent houses, and that the b 1k drawn on that account had appeared in the army extraordinaries and in the civil contingencies. It had been thought desirable to get rid of this ex pense, and therefore a house, as he called it, and not a palace, as the Hon. Gent. opposite called it, was purchased for 4,0001. Mr. W. HORTON made a few observations which were inaudible in the Gallery. Sir J. GRAHAM said, that it was impossible for any Hon. Member to get any information respecting the colonial expenditure. The Hee. Baronet thee read a letter, addressed in 1827 by the present Master of the Mint (Mr. Herries), then Secretary to the Treasury, to the Under Secretary for the Colonies (Mr. W. Horton), complaining of a large deficiency in the colonial revenue, arising from causes of which the Lords of the Treasury knee nothing, and respecting which they could obtain no informa tion even from the auditors of the colonial accounts. The letter also urged the necessity of alteration in the financial affairs, and in the mode of keeping the accounts of the colonies. This letter had been laid before the finance committee, and afterwards printed by order of the House. Such, then, was the state of colonial affairs in 1827, and since than it had under gone no change that he had heard of. He thought they ought not to vote one farthing for the colonies, until they had the report of the commission which had been appointed before them; or, at least, with out a pledge from the Ministry that henceforward a regular colonial estimate should be submitted annually to the House by the Colonial Secretary. After a few words from Mr. W. HORTON, Mr. HERRIES denied that the system con tinued the same as in 1827. At the proper period ....___ _ he should be prepared to show that great alterations heel been made in it. Mr. HUME believed that no effectual. alteration had been made. Sir JAMES GRAHAM should certainly not give an opinion respecting the documents laid be fore the finance committee, but he knew that the chairman of that committee had told the public, in a ♦ery authentic form, that the colonial accounts were at that moment in a stir• of inexplicable con fusion. However, to bring the matter to a short issue, if any gentleman on the 'benches opposite would get up now, and tell them the grws amount of the sum which this country was called upon to pay on account of the colonies, he would adroit that he was wrong, and that the colonial were the best kept accounts in the world.—(Hear and laughter.) Sir G. MURRAY agreed that an estimate for the colonies ought to be submitted to the House an, nually.---(Hear.)—Steps had been taken for 0 . - at purpose ; but the House must see that the distance of the colonies rendered it impossible that delay in procuring the necessary information should not take place. Mr. WARBURTON begged to recall the atten tion of the House to the vote before them. It bp peared that these votes had 'originated in the West India proprietors liking an expensive church esta blishment better than the cheaper and more desirable religious instruction which the population before en joyed. The Moravian missionaries were better re ligious instructors, and were liked better ; but they had been removed to make way for this expensive system. Mr. BERNAL contended, that the West Indian colonies contributed much to the cost of their main tenance. Jamaica, for example, contributed largely to the expenditure of the King's troops, as well as of its internal government; and so 'in degree with the other islands. Had the Four and a Half per Cent. Leeward Isles' Duty been applied as it was originally intended, the cost on the mother country would have been much lessened. Mr. W. HORTON, in answer to the Hon. Mem ber for Rochester, repeated, that the proposition for the establishment and expense of new Bishops and new churches in the West India colonies emanated from the West India interest itself. Mr. MABERLY thought more information re specting the colonies an indispensable preliminary condition to granting any further sums of money for defraying their expenditure. In answer to a question from Mr. LABOUCHERE, `The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that a commission, consisting of Lords Ross lyn and Eliot, Mr. M. Fitzgerald, Sir W. Gordon, and himself (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had been appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the colonies in all its branctivs.—(Hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE anticipated the best re sults from the Labours of the commission. Sir G. MURRAY stated, in answer to a ques• tion from Mr. Portman, that he should, if in office, bring forward a c:ftionial budget every. year hencefor ward after the commission had made its report.— (Hear) —quid l'hould endeavour to put the !Liu:. ni
