CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL AND EXCHEQUEIZ BILLS BILL. On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, these Bills were severally read a third time and passed. Their Lordships then adjourned till Twelve o'clock to-niot row. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Aug. 8. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a Quarter before Four o'clock, when Augustus Clifford appeared at the bar to command the attendance of the Speaker in the House of Lords to hear the royal assent given ,to numerous public and private Bills. The report on the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway Bill ,was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to he engrossel TheLords' amendments to the following Bills were agreed to :—The Bristol Parochial Rates, the South- Eastern Railway Branch to Deal and Extension of the South-Eastern, Canterbury; Ramsgate, and Margate Railway. On the SPEAKER'S return, he announced that he had heard the royal assent given to several private and public Bills (for which see Lords' report). BOROUGH OF BELFAST. A new writ for this borough was rooved for, in thc room of Mr. Einerson Tennent, who has accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds.—Ordered. BOROUGH OF CIRENCESTER.. A new writ for this borough, in the room of Mr. Cripps,-wite- has accepted the office of one of the Lords of therreasury, was moved for. —Ordered. LINLITHGOW.

A.nevi writ was ordered to be issued for this borough, in the room of Sir Charles Douglas, who has accepted the office of Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. BOROUGH OF SUNDERLAND. A new writ for this borough was moved for by Mr. TUFNELL, in the room of Lord Howick, who had been called to the House of Peers.—Ordered. POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. BODKIN brought up this Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. SMOKE. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that at an early period in the'ensuing session he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the nuisance occasioned by smoke on railways and in towns, unless the Government should prevent the necessity of his so doing by introducing a Bill to remedy the increasing evil. Mr. FIELDEN was understood to give notice that lie would move for the appointment of a Commission in the next session to inquire into the mode in which the in come-tax was levied.—(This was, as we understood it, the nature of the Hpn. Member's motion.) SILK WEAVERS' BILL. Sir G. CLERK moved the third reading of the Silk Weavers' Bill. The Bill only introduced those amend ment's and improvements which had been found to work so well iwanother branch of manufacture. Mr.. P. BORTHWICK congratulated the /191130 on the introduction of the Bill. He regretted it was intro duced at so late a period of the session. The Bill was read a third time and passed. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS. Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition from a Air. Copeland, praying that Parliament would interfere to pr?,fant the use of propelling engines being placed at the Fnd of railway trains, which had been attended with so much danger, particularly on the Eastern Counties Railway. He (Lord Palmerston) concurred in the prayer of the petitioner, and thought the lives of pas sengers much endangered by the practice. He would recommend directors of railways to have it stated upon the time tables handed to each passenger whether or no those propelling engines were used, and in the public newspapers, as travellers by railways were not in most instances aware of the fact. The peti. tion-i prayed that the Board of Trade would interfere in these matters. He (Lord Palmerston) felt confident that railway directors were themselves in mosteases ignorant of the use of those propelling en gines, for to pursue such a course with a knowledge of the hazard attending it would be little less than cri minal.—(Hear, hear.) GROUP X. Lard COURTENAY brought up, the report of the Co.amittee of Group X, which comprises the following Bills :—EastPrn Counties (Hertford and Biggleswade), Midland Railway Extension (Swinton and Lincoln), Midland Railways Extension (Lincoln and Ely), and the York and North Midland and Doncaster Extension. The Noble Lord said the decision of the Committee was that it was not desirable to proceed with the Bills during the present session. COLOIAL . Dr. BOWRING moved for the production of the Co lonial Accounts. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, which was negatived without a division. UR. BRISCOE. Mr: C. P. VILLIERS wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Home Secretary whether he in tended further to pursue the proceedings respecting Mr. Briscoe, a magistrate of South Staff)rdshire, who had been reprimanded ? His reason f or as ki ng the question was 1568ause another magistrate of the same name, resid ing in the'same district, had been confounded with this Mr. Briscoe, owing to the Christian name of the offend ing Magistrate not having been mentioned in the report. Si; J. GRAHAM said, having _written his opinion fully,in a letter to the Lord Lieutenant of the county. and expressed his dislike at the conduct of Mr. Briscoe, he did not think it necessary to pursue the matter further under such circumstances. MEDICAL REGULATIONS. Mr. WAKLEY said that in the absence of other busi ness he would beg to move for a return of - the number of individnalewho had applied' for certificates to the College of Su4eons, and those to wbom these certificates had been grmited.—The motion was agreed to. r • z AUSTRALIA. ME..ROPE said 'that as' other business of apparently greater importance was, delayed, he would mbve that he given to bring in Bill for rendering the waste - fiends of Australia more productive. He did not anticiliate any objection would be made to the Bill, and he did not anticipate-that, it would pass ; but he thought that pm Ncess would give ample opportunity for consi derlt its and enabling the Government to take 4uch tniasures as would be for the benefit of the colony, Captain P.ECHELL had not the slightest objection to the goterument,taking measures for the improvement of thVcdOny, and he thought that the beat means of doing that would be by bringing the waste lands into cal tivatioo. • AGLI(INBY thought that this 'arrangement would tend to relieve the minds of the friends of those who had an interest in the Australian colonies. IRELAND TURNPIKES BILL. A message wai brought down from the House of Lordstc; the effect that they - had assented to the Irish TurniAres Bill, and to the other Bills which had been sent from the Commons with som e v er b a l amend tueutC:: rishe message was received and the atriendnients At , agre to.• 1 - The . llouse remained far a very considerable time un occupied by any business whatever ; owing, as it was supposed, to the abaence of Sir Robert Peel, for Whose arrival Lord Palineiston delayed his observa tion& (according to noiit,) on the affairs of Syria. : 1 PERPET U Ii Y FUND. Mr:'Bl.lAW wished to know vihether the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Home Department would have any objection to lay on the table of the House the correspondence which took place between the Eccle siasticAl Commissioners of Ireland and the Lord Lieu. tenant, respecting the Perpetuity Fund ? Sir.d. GRAHAM, whose reply was vary imperfectly heardovis understood to say that he had no objection. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. ABEL SMITH moved for the production of tla: correspondence between the Colonial-office and the New 'Zealand Company. He could not forget that, after what had occurred, a slight sacrifice on both sides was necessary. lie considered the. tone and the temper just displayed at the Colonial-office was more creditable to the Government than the negotiators themselves. There was just one point to which he wished to allude before he sat down. He meant the application made by the New Zealand Company for a loan of money on the security of their land. lie thought that the money should be granted on public grounds alone, and that no ionger deley would take place than was absolutely necessary. Sir R. PEEL did not think it would be necessary for him to give any assurance on the subject. Whatever differences might have existed between the Government and the New Zealand Company, the recollection of those differences had not, in the slightest degree, influenced the conduct of the Government. Th e y had acted from a sense of public duty, and what had been done, he must say, had met with the entire concurrence of his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley). The public interest had been the only consideration by which they had been influenced, and in the arrangement come to each party had occu pied perfectly independent grounds—there had been no secret understanding. With respect to the future Go vernment of the colony he could give no assurance on any point the fulfilment of which depended on Parlia ment ; but though he could give no assurance on the matter, the Hon. Gentleman was, therefore, to draw no unfavourable con c l us i on f rom t h at. —(H ear. ) OR ANG E PROCESSIONS. _ _ Colonel VERNER wished to ask the Right. Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government if it was true that Mr. Watson, a magistrate, and Deputy-Lieutenant of the County Down, had been deprived of his commis sion for taking part in an Orange procession in that county _ _ _ Sir R. PEEL said it was perfectly true that Mr. Watson had been dismissed from the commission of the peace, and also from the office of deputy lieutenant. In 1837 an address from Ireland, numerously and respectably signed, had been laid before the late King, praying that steps would be taken to discourage and put an end to Orange processions. In answer to that the King returned an answer that every messnre would be taken to carry out the desirable object sought by that address. Having been informed that the gentleman referred to had not only walked in an Orange procession, but signed reso lutions agreed to at an Orange meeting, which resolu tions were unconstitutional and highly improper, the Government considered it their duty, in consideration of the previous assurance of the Sovereign, to discharge Mr. Watson from the official appointments he then held.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) THE FISHERIES. Captain PECHELL moved for a return of all Bri tish and French fishing vessels that have been seized or detained under the provisions of the Act for carrying into effect a convention with France concerning the fisheries, with the dates lof such seizure or detention, and the amount of the penalty incurred or paid, with the time of detention in each case ; likewise, a return of all 'British fishing vessels that have been taken into ports of Fmnce since 1839, for breach of the oyster fishery regulations, with the amount of the penalty in curred or paid, and the , time of detention in each case. —Agreed to. AFFAIRS OF SYRIA. Lord PALMERSTON then rose, and said he had given notice of making only some observations on the affairs of Syria, because he had hoped that some motion might have been before the House to which his remarks might have been appended. As, however, no such op portunity had occurred, it would be necessary for him to make a specific resolution, so as to enable the Right Honourable Baronet opposite, in accordance with the rules of the House, to reply to his observations; he therefore moved that an humble address be presented to the Crown, praying for copies or extracts of the cor respondence relative to the affairs of Syria, subsequent (as we understood the Noble Lord to say) to the de parture of the allied forces from that country in 1841. It was not his intention to occupy the time of the House at any considerable length, but before Parliament se parated lie wished to direct the attention of the Govern ment-and the country to the state of Greece, social and political, at the present moment. In dealing with this subject he should consider, first, the unsatisfied claims of the Emir Beschir ' • and secondly, to the un fortunate disturbances which now harassed the kingdom of Syria. When in 1840 and 1841 the allies restored Syria to the authority of the Sultan, one of the Emirs enlisted in the interests of another power, and for that was subjected to stipulations in the compliance with which some delay accidentally occurred. Because he did not comply with certain conditions he was deposed by British officers, acting under the authority given by the Sultan, and the late Emir Bechir was appointed in his place, who then held a high and 'public station in his country. That Emir continued to exercise the au thority belonging to his appointment for about twelve months. At the end of 1841, or the beginning of 1842, in consequence of the civil war that broke out between the Maronites and the Druses, the Emir was besieged in his residence. He was called down by the Governor, and was found to be incompetent, by age and infirmities, to conduct the affairs of the Government, and he was consequently de posed. In his passage from the town in which he then was, in obedience to the order of the authorities he was pillaged by the Druses of a ll hi s p ro p er ty, an d his house was burned. The Turkish Government of the period gave him a guard of honour, but he received no salary from the Sultan. He claimed, then, a salary at a certain rate for the period he exercised the authority. He re ceived no compensation for the losses he sustained by the plunder to which he was exposed in his journey, nor any compensation for certain lands of which he was de prived by the disturbance to which be had alluded. Now, his claims had been admitted to a certain extent by the Turkish Government, and orders had been granted for the payment of the amount to which he might be en titled, yet, although they dated some time back, up to the last accounts he had not been able to obtain say payment whatever. He (Lord Palmerston) conceived that the Turkish Government ought to satisfy the amount, or at least some part of it. It was by officers of the British Government, acting under the authority of the Sultan, that he was induced to accept th e a pp o i n t men t which brought upon him all the disasters he had enu merated. He rendered very important services to the common cause by taking it at the time it was offered to him. He (the Emir) had suffered greatly in conse quence of his remaining a private individual, otherwise he might have reclaimed all of which he bad been master. The first set of papers laid on the table, in connexion with this case, were copies and extracts of correspondence between the Emir, the British Ambas sador, and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, relating to the firman in the Emir's favour. That firman promised compensation for his losses, and the British Government was a party to the promise. But the last instructions given to the Ambassador at Constantinople were by no means commensurate with the influence which the British representation at Constantinople ought to exer cise. The instructions were contained in a dispatch from the Foreign-office, dated 20th January, 1845, and reply ing to a communication from the Ambassador, dated the 20th of preceding July. This dispatch (which the Noble Lord read at length) simply directed the Ambas sador, Sir Stratford Canning, to "make representations," &e., to the Porte. Now, he (Lord Palmerston) thought that, considering the extent to which the honour and good faith of Great Britain were concerned, such an in struction was insufficient, and that Sir Stratford Cannine should have been directed to insist that the Porte should carry out its own firman. He thought that the Govern ment ought to have sufficient energy to see the contracts carried out, to which it was a party. He trusted that in future the instructions to Sir Stratford Canning would be permanent and definite. The next important branch of the subject to which he would advert was the condition of Syria. This was a complicated and exten sive subject. England, Austria, and Prussia were parties to the operations that had taken place in that country. On the other band, it involved a departure from the ordinary rules which ought to govern nations in their relations to other parties. But nothing was more at variance with national obligations than for one Power to interfere with another in relation to the manner in which it should treat its own subjects; and it was only because of certain circumstances that we had any obliga tion to address ourselves to the state of affairs in Syria. It was the object of the four Powers to induce, in 1840, the people of Syria to take arms against the usurping authority of Mehemet Ali, and to declare fur their legitimate sovereign ; and the allied 'Powers first furnished the Syrians with arms, and then induced them to employ those arms in the service of the Sultan. The Sultan promised, not through the medium of Turkish officers, but through British officers specially authorised and empowered he promised the Syrians that, if they returned to their lawful allegiance—if they assisted to expel the arms of Mehemct Ali—they should be relieved from the oppressions under which they had been suffering, and their future privileges and religious liberties should be secured to them. That had not been done, and on that ground he considered that Govern ment ought to take further steps in the matter. The position of Syria was very singular—it was not a pro vince, it was not inhabited by - one race alone—it was not inhabited by a people professing one religion only, for in the central part of Syria, commonly called the high lands of Lebanon, the population consisted of two races, professing dissimilar religions. In the first place, there e ere the - Maronites, a sort of Christians ; and, again, on the other hand, there were the Druses, a sort of Ma hometans, not exactly belonging to the Mussnlman faith, ,because they had a faith peculiar to themselves. But those two races were not separated by geographical' distinctions, because it was not in one part of Lebanon alone that the Maronites existed, and there was not a sin gle district that did not contain the Druses.—(Hear.) These two races were interspersed, but portions of the Maronites were feudal lords, and the Druses vassals, and vice versa. This created considerable difficulty, because if there was one governor of the whole of the provinces, supposing him to be a native chief, he would be a Druse or a Maronite, and would therefore exercise a rule over one part of the population which was animated by feel ings of hatrid and jealousy towards the other. Th e Emir he referred to was old, infirm, and deficient in energy and talent ; under him it was impossible to pre serve peace. If the population were geographically separated, contact would be less frequent , wein h and t ci e vil sa w m a e r less seldom ; but intermixed asthey were towns, it reqoired a vigorous hand, a clear head, and a sound judgment to repress the social disorders arising out of the condition referred to. When the late Emir was removed there was no one found capable of governing the country except Emir Ernan, and even he was not considered fit to occupy such a position ; for he could not allay the discon tents that existed. The interference of Turkey and the five great Powers then became necessary. After much communication and consideration, a plan was proposed in 1842 which, ho thought was well calculated, if carried out, to remove dissatisfaction, and to restore that peace and tranquillity which was so much to be desired. That was, that there should be two Governors— one a Druse Governor, for the Druses, and the other a Maronite Go vernor, for the Marsnites, both to be under the Turkish Government. This, however, did not remove the diffi culties which from time to time arose in those villages, which were jointly inhabited by the Druses and the Me- )47, ronites. It was then further suggested, that permis sion should be given to the population in the mixed dis tricts to retire to the districts where their respective Go vernors ruled—the Druse population. to go to that dis trict where the Druce Governor ruled, and the Maro nite population to retire to the district of the Ma ronite Governor. —(Hear, hear.) And it was . also proposed that whereas this emigration might cause' great losses to both portions of the population these were to be made up by the Porte. Now the five great Powers were unanimous in that plan, and when they were unanimous on any subject it was to be presumed they were right ; and whatever - it might be, of course they were sure to be successful in carrying it out. When all these Powers, thereforee—England, Russia, Prussia, France, and Austria—bad concurred to recommend such a plan, it must be an egreement founded on right, and one which, of course, would be very easy of execution. It was quite, evident, therefore, that if the different parties had emigrated—if the compensation which had been pro posed had been made—if the two Governors had been appointed—and if, in short, every point of that arrange ment had been carried rut. the peace of Syria would have been attained, tranquillity - would have been estab lished on a permanent 'basis, and the integrity of the Turkish empire would never have been jeopardized. That plan, howjier, was never *carried out. Up to the present hour no step had been taken to carry it into_ effect. Pretence...upon pretence had been resorted to,- and every expedient was exhausted to delay its execution. Two Turkish officers had indeed been appointed, whose duty it was to enter into the requisite arrangements. They summoned the people to- decide - upon their claims, and instead of deciding upon them at once, they referred the metter to Constantinople: In short, they interposed every delay in their power to - retard and prevent the execution of whit had been proposed. The result was intrigues of all kinds, The family of the Emir Beschir thought the arringenient yes enything but an advanta geous one for them, .and of course they threw every ob struction in the way. It was needless for him to recite the cruelties of this tyrant ; but if was quite a &minion practice with him to torture by plucking out the eyes, and when one of his victims cried out too lend, he, ordered him to - have his tongue split. This family exerted themselete to the utmost to delay these arrange ments, and it was natural that they should he desirous to do so. _ Great intrigues were naturally to he expected, whep their interests were so much bound up with the existence of that—state of things which these plans were designed -to remove. In-addition to the obstruction of the Maronites, their clergy also interested them Selves to delay the preparations. -- They, -- of 'course, kneW thee their influence would be greater With the existing date of things, than with auy change thatinight take place. All these parties had an interest in the continuation-of the disturbing influences that were at work. Now the Porte had nu interest se.hatevcr in carrying out the proposed arrangement. But it was not to be expected that a Government like Turkey -should-act in accord ance with its interests in -such cases. All its officers had different interests, and there - was not one of them who looked upon a movement as one where the interests of his country might be eerved,Thet rather how his own private .purposes might'be promoted. 1 That was the calculation of the "ftirki4l officers. So that in conse quence Of the fictions of the people themselves—in con sequence of the opposition of the clergy, end in con sequence of the obstructions which the Turkish - officers created,-every -difficulty and delay was thrown in the way of -the arrangement proposed being carried into effect. The Turks, it way quite apparent, did not wish to put an end to these disturbances. In fact, they en couraged them to strife with the view - of weakening both parties, but especially the Maronitei. The Druses, after tl former -- were subdued, would _become easy of management; in this state of things the contentions still continued. The Maronites, stimulated by the Emir Bsschir, though disarmed by the Druses, procured a fresh supply of anise. Great numbers of both parties assembled together, conflicts ensued, and the whole country-was a prey to civil war.- That state of things. however, came to an end. A convention afterwards took place between them, but - no step had yet been taken to bring out a permanent peace. The five Govern ments, and especially the British Government, did not take those prudent and energetic means which they should have i done - under . The _circumstances. There was one British officer, Colonel Rose, of whose conduct, zeal, and energy in these transactions, be could not speak too highly. This officer was appointed during the time he (Lord Palmerston) held the seals of the Foreign office. He thought his - conduct deserving of the greatest praise. The - advice which he gave often prevented those 'disastrous occurrences which occasion- - ally took - _place, and preserved the Turkish Government from those disgraces which their conduct not unfre quently brought upon them. He had, on one occasion, preserved the lives of from, 700 to 800 Maronites, who, but for _ tim, would have -been cut off. to a man. He (Lord Palmerston) did not think that Colonel Rose was so well supported as he might have been led to expect. .In the. dispatches that were sent out, frequent approbation was, no doubt, made of his conduct, but he was entitled not Only to receive appro bation fel. his past conduct, but also to receive special instructions as to the course he should pursue in future. He (Lord Palmerston) thought that the British Govern—, ment did not shOw that energy which it did in former times to put an end to these differences. Any one must know how such a _Poiver -as Turkey managed its affairs. • It was not, however, by- side negotiations or myitified diplomacy that she ought-to be dealt with. That would never do. They-must come to the point with her, and he thought the allied Powers were entitled to press:on that Government - in the - sfrongest_possible manner, and to have - asserted in a more energetic manner than they did the necessity of a__speedy compliance with the arrangements which liad.._been unanimously agreed on. If they had done so, be (Lord Palmerston) had no hesi tation in saying that many of the events which took place would never have occurred. And unless some vigorous steps were resorted to, they must expect a con tinuance-of them. Some-interested parties Might attempt to show that the TittitiStiT-eb'verritilent were not in fault, and that it had nn the =means of preventing these con-. flirts, arid others again said, that it viesuld be far better if Syria was completely iredependent of Turkey ; but he agreed with neither party.' On the sth June,--of the present year, a "dispatch_ewas received at- the Foreign office from Colonel Rose. - This dispatch gave the clearest and best developed view of the causes of the late disturb ances that it was possible to - do. He referred them' principally to the intrigues pf the Bescbir family, and the differences which arose frond - the mixed population. This, however, might have been collected from the dif ferent dispatches - which he had from time to time sent home. Now, that dispatch was received on the sth of June,. and What...ewas -the dispatch sent out the day following (the , 6th 'of June) by the - Secre tary of State to Sir Stratford Canning ? " The present state of affairs in Syria was of such moment- Cons importance- as to ca - use the deepest concern to her Mak sty's Government" (and very naturally they should). " Measures, however, were then under con sideration, with the object of arresting the progress of those untoward event s ." Now, it was naturally to be ex •pected that some instructions should be sent out to their ambassador that he either separately, or conjointly with the other ambasiadors, should take some steps to put an end to that state of things. But what was the con clusion ? He says, "Until the result of these affairs was known, and a clear insight obtained into - their nature, her Majesty's Government were unable to come to a certain conclusion - as to the course proper to be adopted." Greatly must Sir Stratford Canning have , been assisted by that dispatch. He (Lord P a l merston ) contended that a clear insight had been obtained into the causes of those events, and when a correct state ment of the case had been made to her Majesty's Go vernment, they ought to have been provided with a remedy for them. All this had been already communi cated to them, and he thought they had shown great torpidity in the way - they dealt with the case. -He had no hesitation, therefore, in saying that a part -of the responsibility of these calamities fell to the share of the Government Ile thought it was a subject of the greatest importance. It belonged not merely to., a great English interest, but to a great European interest: He thought that the in terests of Europe were involved in the integrity of the Turkish empire. He would not enter into the question whether these evils might not be obviated by the change of government in Syria, and- substituting for a Turkish a civilised and Christian Emperor. But they must deal with the kingdom as it at present existed, and with cir cumstances as - they were now found. If the stronger powers of Europe would only combine with the Turkish Goiernmett; and assist her to maintain the integrity of her territorial possessions, that power would soon :be _resuscitated, as every- thing during the last few years had shown the empire to be increasing in social and moral civilization. The treaty of the Dardanelles, signed in July, 1:14I, by England, France,-Austria, RusAia, and Prussia, implied an aban donment by those five Powers of all selfish views an] interests in regard to Syria, to consolidate the domi nion of that province fof the kenefit of its population. Considering, therefore, tlfat the present disturbances in Syria affected fhb tranquillity .of the entire Turkish empire, and that The tranquillity of the Turkish empire was intimately connected with that balance of European Power, which, in a great degree„-preserved the peace of the world ; he had felt it his duty to state that he thought her Majesty's Government had not shown that activ e energy which the circumstances - of the case required, and ha trusted when ;they next met, at the commence ment of 'the ensuing tsesSion thoSe disturbances would have ceased, and that!the stip f ulatiqns of that treaty—the due exeCution of which would have prevei'ed the late serious disasters-L-wotild have been practically .carried into effect, and thus ;render jinnecessary that perpetual inteference of our Miflisters and officers with the Sublime Porte, which was ineOnsisteet with our national honour and international usage. -- - Sir B. PE EL said-he understood the Noble Lord to admit that, on referende to the official papers, he found that the tire Poviers }Eel acted together in cordial co-operation to carry out the Stipulations of the treaties of 1839 and 1841 ; that they were not actuated by private considera tions, that they had given advice to the Porte, which if acted upon would have been for the benefit of Syria as well as the entire Turkish empire. The only complaint the Noble Lord made was that the five Powers were not very energetic in enforcing these conditions upon the Porte. But interference-on such a question was very delicate. There was the difficult and conflicting, if not contradictory position, in which the Powers stood to ra concile and overcome. They were to require from the Porte a ratification of. those conditions into which the Turkish empire - had solemnly entered, and they had to fulfil the object they themselves had agreed to gether to effect, viz., the maintenance of the integrity and independence of the Turkish empire. This latter the Noble Lord might.have suggested as a reason for not s t r i c tly insisting -on the- performance of the treaty. When Syria was delivered over to the Porte in 1839 and 1840, it should have been well considered, that such rule was precarious if not dangerous; He did not wish to enter into the queMion ofthe 'policy that dictated such a course—he did not wish ai_discusithe motives or. dispute . the expediency of to signal mid gOri Otis a st e p ; the Thitish Government had then to determine, not whether Egyptian rule was bad and ought to be discontinued—and _worse rule never was evidenced —but the question then to decide was, whether the peace of the Turkish empire was not endangered by the inefficient Government of Syria. But, again, what had been done in respect of Greece ? Why, the Turkish Government had, by the administra tion of the Noble Lord, been found so bad there, that they had allied with others to rescue Greece from that dominion, and had actually succeeded. Had the Noble Lord, however, referred to those acts in which he himself took so prominent a part ? Had he adverted to the en gagement 'entered into by Lord Ponsonby in regard to the Government of Syria, immediately after the decisive measures for securing peace bad been adopted and con cluded by England ? On the 23d of May, 1841, he found Lord Ponsonby writing-to Lord Palmerston of the dangerous state of the country, in a hich he was Minister, and admitted that' the very first Governor was a traitor. and friendly to Mehemet Ali. He (Sir R. Peel) admitted that the Porte had not fulfilled its engagements, there had been a shabby evasion of pecuniary claims, now ad mitted, now rejected, now fr ittered down to nothing. He did not whh, he did notattempt to vindicate such conduct, and short of actual compulsion, no exertion had been spared to enforce the satisfaction of just claims from the Sublime Porte. He WaB ready to pay the highest tribute of admiration to Sir Stratford Canning, for his tact and meritorious conduct throughout the protracted and intricate circumstances which had required so much prudence, temper, and ability ; all of these attri butes' the Minister at Constantinople had proved himself - eminently possessed, and qualified to carry the honour of this country and .th e safety of Syri a an d Turkey, fully into effect. Colonel Rose also was en ,to the warmest approbation, if not gratitude, of the country ; it had (wen said that that officer had unduly interfered in the comae pursued by the Turkish gs betwe en S yr i a an d t h e P orte, Government. • The conduct of - Colonel Ro s e thro ug h. - danger s h e h a d un d er anti he gone, was a sufficient - defeneb aga i nst any charge of e sc e t e i fi n c ti e r s e - h p e r o h c a e d ed rii i t; de; t unneoessary interference, or excess 'of duty. Again, it had been said that the Secretary of State had not given sufficiently definite instructions. to their officers abroad. The Noble Lord should have .. remembered the difficulty of sending any specific orders, at such a distance from the scene of their execution. Time and distance both in this case combined to render an un deviating course, impossible and abortive. He always thought that the best mode of effecting a safe and suc cessful. Government abroad was, in the first place, to appoint able and efficfeijt officers, and then to leave to their discretion, the perfect adoption; or partial devia tion from any course marked out by the.Adniinistration at home ; 'except under such understanding, the attempt to curry out a safe policy in such a. country as Turkey would- be preposterous and unsuccessful. On the 17th of September, 1844, Sir Stratford Canning wrote to the Government at home that be - had recei ve d information • ihat the Maronites and Druses - had come to a satisfac tory understanding, and that the loeg pending question 'of Mount Lebanon might be deemed settled. This was the impression of that Gallant Officer at that time. If the Noble Lord didnOt think this statement of Colonel Rose sufficient, he would refer him to an other. He would read to him a letter received from that officer- within the last three months, which would bear him (Sir Robert Peel) out in- what he had just said. The Right Hon: Baronet hero - read- the letter referred to, which was dated Bey rout, July 1, and in answer to certain dispatches approving Of the steps he had taken to restore peace to Mount libanon. After - expressing his sincere gratification at this proof of the, confidence of her Majesty's Government, the, letter went on to state that the writer had acted with_ the desire of doing jus tice to all parties, and Vast while assuring the Druses of maintaining for them equal rights with the rest of the religious persuasions of Mount Lebanon, be impressed on them the necessity of showing in turn the same re spect and consideration to others which they expected to be shown to them. There was a warlike chief there who had been the cause of much fear and apprehension, and whose depredations were _much to be dreaded, the hostile intentions of whom the writer (Colonel Rose) had succeeded in arresting. This (continued Sir R. Peel) had been the conduct of this excellent officer— (Hear, hear)—not favouring one party at the expense of another, but doing the best in his power to protect - the interests of all.—(Cheers.) He had shown that he had no partiality for any one class of the Porte's sub jects in Syria over another, or that one should profit at the expense of any other.—(Hear, hear.) Considering that the five Powers were agrTeed O R the policy to b e pursued respecting Syria, he could ssee DO object to be gained by the motion of the Noble Lord. He had re ceived- advices from the Porte that very day, inti mating that steps were taking to settle all these differences. Whether this promised settlement was likely to be soon carried out he - could not say. On this head he could not speak with much confidence. He merely stated the fact to the House. Under these cir cumstances he was not anxious of going into details on the present occasion. Sir Stratford Canning had brought measures under the serious consideration of the Porte, and there was every reason to suppose matters would be properly settled. Such was the state of affairs according to recent accounts. He would mot go-further into the subject at present, beyond saying that it was the interest of all the Powers that this country . (Syria) should be well governed. He had no other observation to make on this immediate subject. He bad no opposition to offer to the production of the dispatches and documents required. lie however considered it would have been better -to have waited until next session, when a more complete series could have -been presented. Before sitting down he could not take leave of the business of the session without attempting to do justice to the Mem hers of that House who had attended to its private' business. The greatest attention, -he must say, had been paid to this department. Those who had been engaged in attending on the Com mittees on private Bills Intel „not the same stimulus to exertion which those ewho:ookisart in * the public business of the House had. 'thoSe on the benches of that House appeared more prominently before the public ;- they were engaged on more exciting subjects ; and their success brought more -gratifying results. Yet he must say those who had attended to the private busi ness of the House had done their duty in the most satis factory - manner, and at great personal sacrifice. He spoke not of Committees of Railway Bills alone, but eluded all otber Committees Who had sat on private business in that. House. Take the Standing Orders Com mittee, for instance. No one thought of naming it, yet look at what it had done. It had sat 39 days—a far greater - period than ever it bad done before. The number of cases in ordinary y ears b roug ht un d er it s consideration were about 6; thitNesiaism the cases bad been 185. The Committee of selection bad sat forty one days, far beyond the ordinary number. The usual number of Bills brought before it were 180 ; this session there bad been 350. The Committee en' Petitions had also sat more than its usual number of days. There had been forty-five Railway Committees, each Commit tee having five Members, making in all 225 Members of that House. These Committees had decided upon 163 Bills. Of these Committees, nine sat from six to twelve days each ; six, from 12 to 18 days ; three, from 18 to 24 days ; five, about 24 days, - and to the honour of the Members of one Committee, they sat 83 days. This had been done by the MeMbers of these Committees, besides attending to other important ditties. He must say that Members who had discharged their duty on private Bills were entitled to a public expression of acknowledgment, and he-was sure that he would be speaking the senti ments of the Members of both sides of the House in thus doing justice to the conduct of these Memb rs, and the motives by which they had been guided. Nor had there been the least suspicion thrown upon the integrity of the Members who had attended to this important branch of business. If they coir pared the character of former Committees of that House with the present, they must admit that a very great improvement had been made. These Members, therefore, were entitled to carry , away with them the public acknowledgments of that House, for the manner in which they had discharged their duty as Members of Parliament.----(Hear,. hear.) An Hort. MENDER thought that such- a subject should not be discussed in so thin a House, and moved that the House be counted. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw ; and on our return, there being only twenty-five Members present, the House adjourned till to-morrow (this day) at Ten o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

(SPECIAL REPORT.) EASTERN COUNTIES (HERTFORD AND BIGGLESWADE), LAND RAILWAYS EXTENSION (SVVINTON. AND LINCOLN), MIDLAND RAILWAYS EXTENSION (LINCOLN AND ELY), YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND AND DONCASTER EXTENSION, RAILWAY BILLS. Lord Courtenay reported from the Select Committee on Group (X) of Railways, That, in the case of the Eastern Counties (Hertford and Biggleswade), Midland Railways Extension (Swinton and Lincoln), Midland Railways Ex ion E(Lincolnxtnesainond E R l a Bills, the parties promoting y ilway ), York and North Midland and Doncaster those Bills respectively, h a d i nt i mate d to t h e C omm i ttee that, in consequence of the ad vance d per i o d o f t h e ession, Ex tension it is not their intention to p rocee d f urt h er w i t h t h em at r present. Eord Courtenay further reported from the Select Com mitttee, that, in reporting as above to the House, they think it [right at the same time to state, that' it is owing solely to the length of time occupied in the previous investigation, and not to any 'aches of the parties, that the Billa are not in a position to render it desirable that they should be further proceeded with. The PREMIER and the CURRENCY. Sir Robert Peel rarely ,condescends to joke. When, however, be does, the subject will generally be found to be a weighty one-; and- not less certainly will the cha racter of the subject be found to exhibit itself in the Premier's witticisms': The specific gravity of these effusions is always remarkable. The currency question is one with which Sir Robert loves occasionally to daily. Be can at times no more re sist the temptation to say smart things about the "standard of Value," and "Birmingham economists," than he can repress his disposition to be pompous when deal ing with matters which, to men endowed with a larger measure of fancy and with greater flexibility of manner, supply sometimes not ungraceful occasions of jocularity. The Premier's recent reply to Mr. Spooner abounds in passages distinguished by what B.tikspeare styles " heavy lightness," - Sir Robert sheered at Mr. Alison, as stell as at " Spooner and Att:v.,pod;" and, after adverting to what be deemed inconsistencies in Mr. Alison's doctrines, ob served with infildfe - contempt, "this is the philosopher who is to instruct us on the currency !" And what may be the pretensions of Sir Robert Peel to a larger in, asure of economical wisdom than has fallen to the let of the "Birmingham economists ?" Did not Sir Robert Peel commence his career as a legislator on the currency, by resisting that scheme of " philosophy "of which he now boasts that he the chief apostle ? Did not Sir Robert Peel struggle in 1811 against the theory which Ricardo fabricated, end which Jones Loyd has strengthened and ex tended ? Did not Sir Robert the now unbending cha;enpiori' of"" the- true currency principle "—maintain with:Lon!' Beiley, in: . 1811, that Bank of England Tiric!ero,,e no. depreciation ? Did he not maintain, at tine when . a guinea was selling in the market for a one-t;t•arid Bank note and seven 'shillings, that the market value of the guinea was not more than one shilling and the one-pound note ? Did not Sir Robert, a few years subsequently, abandon without apology or explanation his anti. bullionist opinions ? Did he nut unblushingly em brace the Jewish 'system which he had preViously de nounced ? Did he not, in 1819, while still styling him self a Tore, repudiate the economical faith of Mr. Pitt, and lend himself to the schemes of the usurers, and of the:other eneliiiei - it , f Englithinditstry ? • • 13 . 11 f 1 e. 19 -st I , d " R ob, Currency revealed before .tlin world l ils a blandor and a mighty fr'and , Mar..uot„the :.fraudulent character of that measure be. in ,fact, established by the aid of Sir Robert's " principle 4" and declarations ? Did not Sir Robert adopt the words of Ricardo, and proclaim that the action of his money-law would not lower prices more than four-and-a-half per cent. ? Have not prices been lowered by the action of that law more thin fifty per cent. ? Did not Sir Robert. promise in 1819 that his. Inoneyrlaw would supply the country with a steady and sufficient " currency ? Did not Sir Robert, when, in 1844, he introduced his Bank'Charter Act, admit, virtually, that his _Currency • Bill of 1819 had proved a . disastrouslailure ? Was not the ;Bank!Charter Act indeed, introduced, for the express purpcse of secgring to the Country what the Currency Bill et ls:lVivit.s . declared- to have secured to the country a quitrter' of century before ? And, because Sir Robert's beautiful " currency principles" had led to . nothing but industrial disasters, these principles were declared by him to be deserving of more stringent application ! Yet this most profound and most consistent of legis lators on Currency. ventures to sneer at " inconsisten cies" which he imputes to Mr. Alison, as well as to " Spooner and Attwood !" Sir Robert fears-that if gold were allowed-to find its valte' t .h e ftiarke.t, the precious commoditymighTiffeVgq '0":1 - 6/." per ounce. And can - Sir Robeit s; wlo , kaiff e ttik such an inferential argument prok•exi TlA,,ini4tt,e4iinnsvjt,,establishing a 'system o f Oat,i444l4eptesent the t. , xation of the country, and be convertible into gold only at the maritet price of- that metal .? If he does, his ignorance must, indeed, be fa'hondess. Why should Sir Robert Peel dread the prevalence of a high price of gold ? Does be not rejoice in a high price of Consols ? Has he not dilated on the fact that the funds have been at par, as proof of the wisdom of his economical policy ? Why, we ask again, should our,consistent and most .logical , Premier regard with - ,ifetteritt*e in the pricelor:gold from 31. 17s. 100. per ion nic6'tti 'liK 4 tirtfilfAV!feJ o itVx Vier a rise in t he-priee of ig9iidi f ffahlett e fPerr i',,l,elriir t iiitirOgslTrect'atten'tion to certain arrange ..nVent:Oho7:jtirqpiioipitiett by the Bank Charter Act, , which our consistency-loving Premier has forced upon the country. Sir Robert, who contends that paper money should represent and be:of. precisely the same value as gold— gold being, in the first place, art facially cheapened—has, nevertheless, permitted the Bank of England to issue fourteen millions on the security of Exchequer-bills; and of the debt due by, the country to the Bank. If the principle of this arrangement be sound, are we not warranted in inferring, that every creditor:Of Gbyern ment is entitled to exercise the privilege of issuing gaper money? _. • _ _ _ " We owe the. Bank of England eleven millions of money; therefore," so argues Sir Robert Peel, " the Bank ought to be allowed to issue promissory notes to that amount." This reasoning may be perfectly irresistible ; but if it he, then iewohld seem to follow that, us the country ow es to a certain class of ' persons eight hundred millions of money, that class of persons ought to be allowed to issue eight hundred millions of promissory notes. How may a statesman, so enamoured of" consistency" as Sir Robert Peel is, escape from this conclusion ? Has not the Premier declared, besides, that it is every nation's " wisest course to buy cheap and ta,sell dear?,." How, then, may this consistent" gentleman ventureqo declare, - as he did' during the discussions on the Rank' ,At rter Act, that he floes not waht the greatest qiiant:l , l at the cheapest rnte"—but that "he wants the best article , Sir Ro.bgrt, it will be no!ed, assumes that system of curreney',to be !' best " which best suits—not the indus trious classes—but the classes which prey on industry. Sir Robert has, we repeat, told his agricultural stir porters that the true rule of tuitional policy is "to buy cheap and to sell dear." As soon, however, as there arises an occasion on which this—his pet maxim—might be turned tUaccount by agricultural producers, Sir Ro bert unhesitatingly repudiates it. If it be good to " buy cheap and to sell dear," the agriculturist is surely en titled to demand the privilege of sellin.ghis produce " dear," and of buying "cheap' the money.roy : hick. the, value of that prcduce is measured. "NoritaterpOtes,tie cowistent Sir Robert,, " I like corn cheap, but . I like money good. tolerate, therefore, only the best money—that motley which shall best promote the pur poses of mortgagees, annuitants, and usurers." The " consistent " Sir Robert is, in short, the true • farmer's friend." H is always busied either in directly cheapening agricultural produce, or in adding, directly, to the agriculturist's dehts and burdens.—Post. HOW TO REBUILD QUEBEC ? (From the Sentinel.) We are not about to enter into the mysteries of bricklaying or masonry ; we have no present concern with granite or cement ; neither have we any opinion to offer on styles of archi tecture. Our business is to show in what manner the destroyed city of Quebec may be restored without private subscription. or Parliamentary grants, without costing one shilling either to Canada or Britain. What Oriental fiction fabled of Aladdin's lamp; plain common sense can realise without incantation or mag i c . Nothing is wanting to an end but adequate means, and certainly the means to ends have long existed, though in latent forms, before they have been discovered by philosophy or applied by science. Need we cite such familiar examples as gas or steam ? As these had a beginning, so also must we have a commencement to the true system of productive power —even to the power which can raise a fired city from its ashes by a new combination of intelligence and industry. We take it for granted that the materials of construction exist in Canada—bricks, stone, lime, timber, tiles, iron, &c. ; and that there are architects to design, and labourers to execute what is designed. We want no other elements to rebuild Que bec. " What !" exclaims the sceptic, " can you do this great thing without funds ?" t` And pray," we ask in reply, " what do you mean by funds?" " Gold," answers the sceptic; " ounces, aye, tons of g old." It is quite natural that men of the old school should , talk thus. Living in an atmosphere of illusions, and muddled by prejudices, they suppose, that gold must be dug out of the mines before labour can build a house, construct a ship, or plough a field, forgetful that society must necessarily have made very considerable progress in many of the useful arts before the precious metals were discovered ; for surely man acted on the surface of the earth before he ex plored its interior. If the possession of gold must precede all other forms of property in the order of time, and be the antece dent to their creation, so that gold is the efficient cause of all the realised wealth scattered over the face of the globe, how did man contrive to emerge from barbarism and pass the boundaries of the nomadic state ? Does not testi mony and fact contradict this doctrine? Nay, mote; is it not true that the countries possessing the gold and silver reitte r t-lave,ever been inferior to those possessing coal and ;And does not history certify, that, when Spain began to import -the pre.ciotts metals, she began to decline both in the powers of production and national defence? Or, must we mount up to the traditions of Greece and bring forward the apologue of Midas, in refutation of the fa:lames of Junes Loyd and the mystification, of Capel Court ? We beg attention to the following facts. Those who doubt them may consult official documents, living witnesses, and the very edifice itself of which we are about to speak. If the facts are admitted, then, we shall ask, where is the difficulty of rebuilding Quebec without, private subscriptions, Parliamentary grant, or any the slightest conce i va bl e mo d e o f taxation ? These, then, are the facts, The States or Parliament of Guernsey, about the year oui (we have forgotten:the exam date), determined to a meat. naarkvt, .at the cost of 4,0001. ; but, not pn - ssessing;gold,they issued symbols of their national wealth in the shape,ol,,one e pound paper notes, not bearing in terest. With these they paid• the contractor, who discharged wages with them, and other debts due tor the materials he used. In due course of time the edifice was completed, and thus, with these symbols, a substantial reality was created, withcut the assistance of a single grain of gold. This market was divided into shops, which were let to butchers, and the rental amounted At the end of the first year of t enancy, to 4001. per annum. the holders of the symbols or notes, numbered from I to 400 inclusive, :brought them to the treasurer of the States, and received for them the rents of the butchers; the notes were repeating this opera i on , a ll t h e symbols then burnt, and, by were destroyed in ten years, while the market remained, and still. • daes remain, Affording great accommodation to the inhabitants„ and yielding an annual revenue to the : States. • - Now, where is the difficulty of ap plying this system to the. rebuilding of Quebec ? What is there to hinder our creating a reality with a symbol? Let not the plan be condemned because it is novel, for there was a time when gold coin was a novelty; let it not be rejected because it militates against preconceived opinions, for wisdom will always be ready to revise opinions when pre sumptive evidence is offered that 'they are wrong. If the symbols of Guernsey, guaranteed by the whole tangible pro perty of Guernsey, could construct a market, why should not the symbols of England, guaranteed by the whole tangible pro perty of England, build up a c i ty ? No Guernsey- roan , as fool enough to refuse giving his commodities, for the market notes, What_ Englishmen or what Canadian would be so sense less as to reject the city of Quebec notes, in exchange for what he 1)44,-; o„seli ? -When .Quebee is rebuilt, and its houses 4=4,4 i fliftf, Mtn* l emyr 01411 to cancel the symbols out of the proceeds of the rents ? To effect this mighty good, *e need not a grain of gold ; we shall not have tti pay any moneys monger a farthing of interest, nor impose a feather of taxation -either on the present or future generation. This is Alad din's lamp. Who can possibly oppose so simple, so efficient, so costless a plan ? None but the holders of gold, the dealers in money, discounters, usurers, loan contractors—men who say, "We will lend yo u th e mean of rebuilding the city of Quebec." We answer, that it can be built without the means these gentry proffer, and for the loan of which they make a charge. We undertake to do it without their intervention, without any payment whatever for interest. We want no third party, no middle-man, between Parliament. and labour. Let Parliament vote the symbols, 'and we will erect the streets and squares without setting foot in Lombard-street or the Bank parlour. But it may be said, " Charity begins at home ; and, if you can effect these things in Canada, why not convert the mud-cabins of Ireland into comfortable dwellings?" No thing easier; and, by the same plan, we could,bringall the waste lands of Ireland into cultivation. In fact, was Glasgow built with gold or with symbols? or, was the soil of Scotland ren dered fertile by the precious metals or by paper ? Every one knows that the banking system of North Britain made North Brit-in what she is. However„ instead of the symbols of Joint-stock Comsanies, as in Scotland, we would use national symbols, by which means we should save interest charges, and prevent the possibility o f a run ,— s i nce h e w h o did run wou ld run against himself. The millions would not be debtors to the hundreds ; there would be no division into bees and drones ; no lazy fundholders exacting tribute from active industry. He who produced most, would get hold of most of the symbols, and, through the symbols, most of the realities which the symbols would create ; while, on the contrary, the property of the idle would depreciate, just as the labour of the industrious would be appreciated. If gold be the necessary antecedent of pro duction, then are the holders of gold the absolute masters of all the producing classes, anal British industry is the slave, the bondsman of a foreign metal. The Duke of Wellington insists that we must not be dependent on foreigners for corn, but up holds a law which makes us dependent on the presence in the Bank cellars of a foreign metal. When the metal is shipped off to Hamburgh by speculators in: currency, or to Dantzic by buyers of wheat, masters go into the Gazette, and workmen into the unions. This shows the power of the yellow metal, as the masted of industry; Its withdrawal paralyses the brawny arm of labour, just as the withdrawal of air produces suffoca tion in the body natural. Let us, then, emancipate ourselves from this idol which our folly has enshrined in the temple of Mammon, for the sole benefit of the Priesthood of Usury. Let us make money our servant, not our master, and then just as the wise Guernsey-men built. their market, so may we rebuild Quebec, house, feed, and clothe our people, and make this globe what God intended it to be,, .an earthly Paradise, where all may live within the pale, of plenty and virtue.

THE STORY OF A ROYAL FAYOURITE.—We are requested to state that Mr. Celbu r n, o f G rea t Marlborough street, has this day published " THE STORY OF A ROYAL FAVOURITE," by Mrs. Gore, in 3 vols. post Bvo., which can new be had at all the libraries: Mr. Colburn has also just published the following new novels :-2. Count Koningsmark, by Captain Frederick Chamier, R.N. 3. The White Slave and the Russian Prince, by the author of " Revelations of Russia." 4.

AN 11 te . p•RIC.% IL ROMA:\ Cf; BY CArrars CHAMIER, Chan der is an adept at choosing a subject. but. he has never before pitched upon a more happy one than in the of " Count Konigsmark." Not withstanding Konigsmark's many bad qualities, and the personal vanity which was the leading feature of his character, and which tempted him into all his errors and crimes, he was a man of courage, a gallant: Soldier, a gentleman by birth and bearing, arid a man with generous impulses, high aspirings, and a most active and fertile imagination. All these are excellent materials of which to make a hero of romance, anti Captain Chamier has very happily and skilfully availed himself of them ; blending them also with many of the actual scenes and circum stances in which his hero was engaged during his eventful life, and calling to his aid his o wn f e rtil e f ancy , w h en nee d e d, to heighten by - fiction the facts of history. There is an easy, off hand mariner about everything Captain Chamier does, which falls in very well with the tone and spirit of reckless adventure and exuberant life depicted in this novel, which is by far the best of all the author's works which do not treat of nautical ife.— Cous t Journal. [ADVERTISEMENT.] --LAieS, whether temlorarly exposed to the scorching rays of the summer sun, or frequtnt ing the crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Row!ann's Kalydor a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling the cloud of languor anil„relaxation from the com plexion, and immediateiy affording the pleasing sensation at tending restored elasticity of the- skin. The numerous va rieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn freckles, tan, and dis colonrations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and re freshing properties have obtained its selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy and hunt ton. The high reputation it bears causes unprincipled shop keepers to offer their spurious " Kalydors" for sale, co m p ose d of the most deleterious iw. , :tetlieut, , , containing mineral astrin. gelits, utterly ruinous to tho their repel complc:ann, and b y lent action endangering health.

The opinion of some of the most ere!, nent engineers is in favour of its removal, and the fetal uponai ir failure it of i s favour have Sir Robert Peel promised that after the labours of tP_: thosea stronrge repairs which House are over the communications from the Commas' sioners of Westminster• bridge should undergo fa c 4 sideration by the Government. We only hope that subject will receive more attention than most holy tasks usually do. The only improvement that bas ) 4 _ been accomplished is the reduction of the steep asee,', l ,' efbetehneir bestowed but even that advantage is nearly counteracted bye narrowing of the roadway . into a deep trough, surfacer deep holes which are to be found all along the Burley and threaten to introduce the passengers to a closer quaintsnce with the water-leveL We confess the anticipated some greater improvements from .(i,e long and expensive repairs to which this !m i l Ai has le : en subjected, and we now begin tO " 1 r pr bend that it is in vain to hope that any patching of alteration n ill ever again make this bridge efficient in the public convenience. Its appearance can never r d altered sufficiently to make it correspond with 2 _7 1 building of the.pr.sent age. On the one side, the 13 ° I , Houses of Parliament are rising rapidly into notice in z,". e the florid beauties of their design ; on the other side, t', s Suspension-bridge creates a favourable impression by l' of light and novel appearance ; while this ugly mass s . one protrudes between them, and affords a revolting treat to the beauty of the one and the utility of the I; Toe subject is well discussed in a brief pae 3 P ye . rr titled Metropolitan Bridge, and Westminster In2Pr ° meats.

" Westminster-bridge cannot be made to harmonise position, or in taste, with the adjacent beautiful building; whether by an improved or by a new su p ers t ru cture the existing piers. Whatever else be done, it is absolutely necessary that the roadway be considerably enlarged' a , " From this the piers have been ex t e nded, in cuting the very ingenious expedients, still in progr ess ' to endeavour to secure the old f oun d a tions fr ) ,„ further subsidence.
