M. Stewart) held that to be an excellent doctrine, and could recommend it to the perusal of all interested in the monetary affairs of the United Kingdom. Sir R. PEEL hoped the Hon. Gentleman would allow the Bill to go into Committee, in which its details w old be dis cussed. In bringing it forward, the Governmeat had fairly dealt with Scotland, and he regretted that the Hon. Gentleman had endeavoured to raise a trejudice against 11 o Bill, and alarm at it, by stating that it was to be the forerunner of a single bank of issue in that country. He (Sir R. Peel) had never been in favour of establishing a single bank of issue in Scotland, as he knew the difficulties in the way of such an es tablishment. The interviews which he had had with persons interested in Scotch banking, had made him fully aware that there would be a most vigorous opposition to a measure intended to effect such a change in their monetary system.--( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He wished to remove any apprehension on the part of the people of Scot land, by stating that the Government did not contemplate establishing a single bank of issue ; neither did they intend to bring forward any other measure than the one they had pro posed. It was clearly a case in which the whole country was concerned, and there was a case of res integree. As regarded the money to be advanced to the public, he thought that there ought to be some ground for the principles on which the bank ing system should be conducted in Scotland. He was aware that there was a great prejudice in Scotland in favour of tha system of paper issues and security credit ; but yet, even there, there was a doubt of this system ; and in England, where it had been tested, much doubt was not only entertained respect ing the principles of banking, but also as to the mode on which it ought to be conducted. He was not aware of the feeling which was said to be entertained in Scotland in favour of those accommodations that the public enjoyed, and he was rather in clined to think that the feeling of the public was against it than otherwise. A distrust must naturally exist in the minds of all who had property at stake, and unless they saw that there was perfect security for the money which they depo sited, they would of course be very chary of the amount which they contributed to what the Hon. Gentleman was pleased to consider the general benefit. There was not in his (Sir R. Peel's) opinion anything to justify the assurance of the sound ness of the banks, simply because the paid-up capital of the banks was all deposited for their trading. He indeed did not think that any paid-up capital could give that security which the public had a right to demand. Unless the director or the governor of the bank had a power of converting their assets into cash, there was no probability of the several banks being able to meet their engagements. This was a principle well recognised in commerce, and a feeling had accordingly been engendered in the commercial world against it. The Man chester Chamber of Commerce had indeed so decidedly expressed itself, that there was no doubt of the course which would be pursued in all the places where commercial transactions were of any importance. This was high authority, and entitled to the greatest credits and he thought that if a doubt had been entertained at all upon the subject the safest plan would be to allow the claims of those who, while they were unable to help themselves, required and were entitled to the greatest consideration. This perhaps could only be obtained by the same system which was pur sued in England, but yet he felt that there had not been sufficient care taken to render the system even in England so perfect as it might be. The banks in England were net bound to a certain amount of issue except so far as the amount of their capital might restrict them ; but he thought that in accordance with the principles which had always regulated the people of Scotland they should have some other and further security. It warn not sufficient that the people should have the assurance of the solvency of their banks, but that they should also derive from them consistently with their security all the assurance which they derived from that quiet enjoyment of their property to which, from the Constaution, they were entitled. He therefore thought that the system which had been proposed was not only wise in itself, but judicious from the way in which it provided for the public benefit ; and he trusted, in consideration of these reasons, that the Hon. Gen tleman would withdraw his opposition. Mr. HUME said that, in the restriction of the issues for Scotland he differed from the Right Hon. Baronet, toto That Scotland had flourished under the present system no one could pretend to doubt, and he thought the people of Scotland would be quite satisfied if they were left alone. They had been able to provide for the general benefit hitherto, and the feeling was decidedly, throughout the country, in favour of the system on which they felt that their prosperity had been grounded. If they were to adopt this system and continue it, they would save the country at least from 200,000/. to 300,000/. a year, and at the same time satisfy the feelings of the people of Scotland from one end to the other. Sir W. CLAY said that the system of Scotch curreney could not exist if Scotland were an independent nation. But his ob jection to the measure of the Right Hon. Baronet was, that it attempted too much, for the impression in Scotland now was such, that it would be exceedingly dangerous to interfere with the small note circulation. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. HAWES said that they must recollect that when the Bill was read the former time it was agreed to waive all discus sion until the next reading He was disposed to ask now what were the grounds on which they intended to introduce this measure to Scotland ? Had the success of the English Bill been such that they wished to extend its advantages to Scotland also ?—( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet, in introducing the Bill, said they had every reason to be satisfied with the policy and justness of that measure. He (Mr. Hawes) did not see that the Bill of last year had proved that the expectations of the Right Hon. Baronet had been well founded. He would a'k again, if the policy of last year was such that the Right Hon. Baronet was justified in extending it to Scotland ? And here he could not help saying that the Scottish bankers had evinced a right and a proper spirit, and he only wished that the English bankers had evinced a like spirit when the measure relating to English banking was first intro duced by the Right Hon. Baronet. It had been said by the Right Hon. Baronet that the banks had the power of issuing an almost unlimited number of notes. But what had been the ease last year ? And here he would remind the Bight Hon. Baronet that in that year there had been no lack of railway and other speculations. The Bank of England could have issued 30,000,C00/., and yet there were notes to the amount of 6,000,0001. in the Bank lying unissued. Now, surely, if the Bank could have forced their notes into circulation, there never was a better opportunity—never a greater inducement, than to have done so at that time. And why did they not ? Because they were liable at any time to be called on to give bullion for their paper, and that was found, and would be ever found, a sufficient check upon any undue circulation.—( Hear.) He was surprised to hear the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, who was connected with a system of banking in this Country that was little removed from, if not equally as bad as the American system, complain of the Scotch plan. But upon what grounds did the Hon. Gentleman complain ? The re turns showed nothing to justify such an opinion, or to justify either reproach or complaint. For a long course of years he found that the banking system had been in Scotland highly sa tisfactory to the people, and the circulation had been ample, steady, and uniform. This clearly proved that the Scotch banking system had been conducted with great ability, great honesty, and great success.—( Hear, hear.) Ho was therefore surprised to hear any one review the system in a tone or manner otherwise than favourably. The fluctuation of the Bank of England was infinitely greater than that of Scotland.

In Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET made a few remarks, which did not reach the gallery. Mr. LA BOUC HERE said the Noble Lord was evidently alarmed at the facilities which he (Mr. Labouchere) proposed with regard to railway legislation. There was a material tlitr:rence between the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir George Clerk) and that which he (Mr. Labouchere) had venturtd to rropote. He thought if a well suggested measure were brought forward by her Majesty's Go vernment next session, that it would be likely to lead to the dcsit l 7d results, and would obviate frequent discussions like that before the House. Mr. W. PATTEN thought that whatever course they took it would be most desirable that something should be brought in during the present session.—( Hear, hear.) He considered that the aiffieulties which had occurred mainly arose from the neglect of the House with respect torailway business.—( Hear, hear.) Upwards of six weeks of the present session had been occupied in laying down rules for the management of the Com mittees, and a great deal of time was consumed before they clearly perceived the course which they ought to pursue. A. hundred new raiiway Bills were to be brought in next session, and unless a measure similar to that recommended were intro duced, they would be in a worse position next session than during the present. Sir R. PEEL said he acquiesced in the propriety of the sug gestion made by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite He th - dight it would be highly desirable to appoint a Committee to consider and'frarne rules with regard to the future proceedings of the Hou-e in the matter of railways. He did not any this with a view of relieving her Majesty's Government from anys responsibility, but he thought with the Right Hon. G ent l eman that it would be exceedingly desirable that a Committee should be appointed for the purpose referred to in the resolutions. Mr. S. WORTLEY agreed with the Right Hon. Gentle man that some rules w 'To absolutely necessary for the purpose of expediting the railway business of the country. Mr. W. COLLETT thought it was rather hard that the promoters of railway projectishould be:required, first, to undergo the ordeal of the Board of trade, and afterwards that of the Parliamentary Committees. He thought that this system should be amended. Lord WORSLEY hoped that a more effectual course would be taken on the subject, as great inconvenience had resulted to the public from the present state of things. There were a great many railway Bills which, although connected with some of the most important towns in the north of England, and although there was little or no opposition to them, could not yet be paned through Parliament. The motion was withdrawn, and the amendment carried. GUILDFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. SYRIA. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he would, to-morrow, ask a question from the Right Hon. Baronet relative to the destruction of property in Syria. In answer to a question from Mr. LABOUCHERE, rela tive to the manufac , ore of spirits in the Channel islands, The CHANCELLOR•of the EXCHEQUER replied that a practice had lately existed at th e Custom-house of permitting plain spirits, made from British produce, to be introduced into this conntry upon payment of the excise duty only, and with out being subject to the other Custom-house regulations. Now the importers of these plain spirits had laboured under the im pression that British brandy, manufactured from British pro duce, was paced upon a similar footing, and accordingly large quantities of that article had keen imported from Jersey, upon payment only of the excise duties. Government had allowed the spirits to pass into the hands of the retail dealer, without imposing any additional duty on it, but notice had been given to the parties that this privilege could not be extended to any future importations. These parties had applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Custom-house to pass the brandy, upon payment only of the excise duties, and the Court bad refused the application. It was, therefore, a settled point of law, that Jersey had no more right to intro duce British brandy, free of customs duties, than either Ireland or Scotland. THE CORN LAWS. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, seeing the Hon. Member for Galway in his place, wished to know whether it was his intention to proceed with his motion relative to the conduct of Members of the House on Tuesday next. The Hon. Member for Wol verhampton had a motion on the paper relating to the Corn Laws for the earns evening, and it was important that no impediment should be throws in its way. Sir VALENTINE BLAKE was understood to reply that he intended to withdraw his motion to enable that of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton to come on. DON CARLOS. Lard JOFIN MANNERS wished, to know whether Govern ment had received any intimation from the Government of France of the abdication of Don Carlos, and whether they had made any representation to that power for the release of that illustrious prince. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, in answer to the question of the Noble Lord, he had to slate that since the Noble Lord had intimated his intention to put this question, a communication had beemroceived from the French Government, announcing the abdication of Don Carlos in favour of his son. That communication was accompanied by an application from Don Carlos for passports to enable him to go to the Pyrennees for his health, and Government had thought it advisable to grant the request. THE CHINESE RANSOM. Captain BERKELEY washed to know whether it was the intention of Government, after having rewarded the command ing officers for their services in China, still to withhold the distribution of prize-money from the soldiers who had served in the same war, contrary to the invariable practice where captures bad been made, and whither the same course would be pursued with the soldiers who effected the capture of Sinde. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the quesuion of the Hon. and Galiant Member would lead the House to believe that Government were withholding prize money from those parties who were justly entitled to it, but in reality the fact was not so. There was no declaration of war made in China, and Government had therefore no prizes to distribute. Government had only received a sufficient amount of ransom as to indemnify her Majesty's subjects for the injury they had received at the h an d s o f th e Chi nese G overnment, and reimburse the expense they had been put to in vindicating the right of British subjects in China. When Sir Henry Pot tinger went ont to China, he appointed a number of public egents to take charge of all the property that fell into the hands of the British forces, and at the termination of the war Government thought it right that these parties should participate in the distribution of the ransom money. Accordingly there had been two distributions, the first consisting of a sum of 160,000/. and the second of 255,0001. With regard to the second ques tion relating to the Sinde affair, the subject had only been re cently brought under the consideration of the Treasury, and he was not in a position to give the Hon. Baronet an answer. He might however state that a communication was going for ward between the Treasury and the Board of Controul on this subject. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. Mr. CURTEIS wished to know whether the Merchant Seamen's Bill might be postponed to another day ? Sir R. PEEL said that the Bill bad been referred to a Se lect Committee, and the second reading would not take place to-night. .1 1 11 E SON, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1845. and three-quarters.—Triumvir, Kedger, Golden Fleece, Wood Pigeon, Ci n i ze lli , Poor Boy. SCHOOLS IN KILMONIVAIG.—The annual examina tion of the schools in the parish of Kilmonivaig, has been completed by a Committee of the Presbytery of Abertarff. These schools are five in number, and they are attended by nearly 400 pupils. The parochial school, taught by Mr. James Munro, maintained its well-established discipline. Besides the numbers learn ing the common branches of English and Gaelic read ing, arithmetic, and writing, there were several boys studying geometry, geography, and the Latin classics. The highest class read Virgil. Air. Munro, the teacher of this school, is a profound and accurate Celtic scholar, and is the author of an unrivalled Gaelic Grammar, and of several minor works in that language, both in prose and verse. He is undoubtedly the fittest man living for filling a Gaelic chair in one of our Universities—now a desideratum. —lnverness Herald.

Orders should be given immediately to the various booksellers. MISS STRICKLAND'S LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND, VOLUME B.—The new volume of this popular work comprises the Memoirs of Henrietta Maria, and Catherine of Braganza.—The Life of Henrietta is told with all the tragical power that such a tale was calcu lated to inspire. The minutest circumstances of interest are unfolded with faithful simplicity. The childish frolics of the young Princess, the beauty and petulance of the wayward bride of the youthful Monarch of Eng land, and their conjugal struggle for the mastery in the early days of wedlock, afford a lively interlude between scenes of tearful interest in the mournful drama of her life. There are several curious original letters of a do mestic character, written after the birth of her son Charles 11., from the Imperial Collection at St. Peters burgh, with which Miss Strickland has been favoured by permission of the Emperor, and there is also much new and important biographical matter from the secret archives of France, to which the authoress was granted free access by the Historian Minister Guizot. The inedited Diary of Henrietta's Chaplain, Pere Gamache, has also supplied many passages in this remarkable biography, filling up all the broken links, and admitting the reader into the most intimate acquaintance with the private life and actions of the Royal Widow during her residence in France. The scene in which the English reader is for the first time made acquainted with Hen rietta's reception of the intelligence ot 'the murder of her royal husband, is one of the most heart-rending that can be imagined, and is related with simple and touchii g fidelity.

A complete remedy for all this is to be found by visiting the establishment of Ross and Sons, and choosing either head-dresses that surpass na tive herself, fronts, bands, or ringlets that assist her, or splendid plaits that, encircling the thin hair, give it all the appearance of a luxuriant growth.

We should have imagined that an English tradesman, whose reputation for honour and integrity is proverbial, would not have stooped to the meanness of so base and paltry an action. Nevertheless we know for certain that such is the case, and we would advise all patrons of Messrs.

As the Due de Broglie has not attempted to interfere with our " right of search " into the French papers, during his diplomatic negotiations, we have occasionally peeped into the Journal des Debate of late, and have diccov ere d a ser i es o f articles under the abo ve title. In these fuilletons the writer adverts to the rapid strides of science, and its development in articles of trade and manufacture, and endeavours to excite the emulation of the Parisian marchands, by assuring them that great efforts are being made in Loneon to eclipse their inventions, and surpass . them in the elegance of their fabrics. Whether success has attended these efforts or not, is not our province to determine. We leave the decision of this impor tant question to amateurs ; and whilst everything is teeming with life and anima ion, although it may appear inconvenant to speak of pallida mars, or his,' attendant pompes funebres, we will call their attention to the chasteness and ex treme beauty of the monumental designs at Clark's, in Wigmorc-street. His atelier is filled with casts from the statues of Phidias and Praxiteles, and especially an exquisite figure of one of Diana's attendant Nymphs, to which we recently adverted, yet he excels in his monuments, with their coloured inscriptions, which look like a leaf that has been torn from some richly illuminated Missal. Whenever any of our Noblesse desire torenovate their " family's old monument, Hang mournful epitaphs, and do all rites That appertain unto a burial," they had better look in at Mr. Clark's, instead of raising Shak spere's reproach— " Lay not these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no remembrance over them." It is net often that the sun condescends to make his appear ance in London, and, in fact, he seems to have had so much trouble in forcing his way through the fog to get a peep at us, that he abandoned the attempt until this week, and, now that he has come, we find him d. t rop , an d every one is trying to get ou t o f his way and out of the range of his rays. Captain Morris was right to sing about the " Sweet shady &de of Pall-mall." How it was thronged yes terday ; and the Burlington Arcade was in a state of siege from the moment the crowd-compelling beadles threw open the gates ; but there are so many charming shops and charm= ing laces to be seen in this shady blest retreat, that we can scarce marvel at its being so much in vogue. Doudney, who like nimbus, rose in the east, has now established himself in Bond-street and the Arcade. He has taken the old Alexan drian Institution, and has retained all the old Egyptian orna ments, so that the attention is alternately distracted by well cut dress coats and sphynxes, and we recognise the Caryatides from the tombs of the old kings of Thebes, cheek by jowl with the newest fashions of Paris. We must find time to make a voyage autour de so chambre (show-room), and will render our readers a faithful and graphic description of all that is to be seen there. The old time-honoured Truefit also retains the same premises there which he has occupied time out of mind. I-1 and his smiling busts, and well-curled perukes, are part am parcel of the place, and have been there within the " memory of the oldest inhabitant." Several counterfeit haircutters have endeavoured to impose themselves upon the public as the original Truefit, and have invaded his own territory, but he has kept them at bay by pointing out the imposture to the public. The Burlington Arcade also possesses a noted ladies' shoemaker, named Paul Hase, who obtains every week from Paris a fresh supply of chaussure, which the ladies protest is in every respect superior to the shoes and brodequins of English manufacture. They certainly look much better, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them. But apropos de bottes, whilst we are upon the subject of chaussure, honourable mention must be made of Medwin, who has erected an elegant establishment with sumptuous decora tions, which has become the chief ornament and the - cynosure of every eye in Regent -street. Medwin, however, we believe, does not profess to interfere with ladies' feet, but confines his attention to the construction of bottes vernies for our use. He, moreover, fashions leather and prunella into all sorts of shapes and devices, to suit the taste and feet of the most fastidious gent jaune that lounges about London. His clients (tradesmen have no customers now-a-days) declare that his boots are remarkably well made, and very easy to the feet. From the same authority we must also mention an establish ment of importance in a country where sporting and riding is the chief occupation of the aristocracy, to whom we are convinced, Hawkin's Grosvenor riding-school, in South street, Grosvenor-square, is wall known the school is situated on the first-floor, and admirably adapted for the purpose. His beautiful set of ponies is well deserving the attention of parents who wish their children to become good ecuyers, they certainly cannot put them under the care of a better master. We have been talking about so many belle choses in London, that we may as well favour the world with the result of our observations on the other side of the channel, and the Englishmen who aspire to the honours of martyrdom enjoyed by the Parisian elegantes in their tight coats and trousers and waistcoats, are to be found thronging the show rooms of the famous Becker, in the Rue Neuve des Petits Champs. The lions of the French capital declare his cut and facon to be perfection; and the English in Paris seem to be of the same opinion, for a skilful connoisseur would recognise Becker's coats on every English back in the Tuileries gardens on a fine afternoon. We cannot conclude without saying one word for Piot, in the Boulevard des Italiens, Paris, who con tinues to be the focus of fashion, and, by tacit consent, has become the daily lounge of that numerous band of busy idlers, whose fantastic tricks and escapades form no inconsiderable item in the amusements of Paris. Where Piot procures all his trinkets and ever-varying orfeverie, is to us incomprehensible. His workmen must possess some magic crucibles, in which they must transfuse tho precious metals into those elegant shapes and devices which abound in his collection of jewellery -------------- 14 A y. 4 /NDON & CROYDON RAILIV ea In compliance with the Standing Orders of the 1 -I r f_ s , Lords, a special general meeting of the proprietors of this 1 7 , ; f took place to-day at the London Terminus for the purr' s !. considering and determining upon the proposed Bills form t,l i h g e the Wandsworth, Dorking, and Bonham branches. r,_, meeting was also made special, for the purpose of consiti te i t y i ; and authorising the issue of shares by the Com last, gi s v o e f n l ootai loan notice notes who eiri o d t i o d o n tin o o t, p t r o e i convertoust o tthh h eentlsi tePtsonFsleibbarrcosit. : holder Mr. ROwLAND HILL took the chair, and upon doing su . ., the whole of the Bills before them.

But under this 13111 they would have the power of extending their circulation to the extent of 500,0001. upon 3,000,000/. This was a much greater pro portion of increase than was to be allowed to the English bankers, which was 3,000,000/. to 50,000,000/. This appeared to him to be an unfair proportion, and he did not see why the Scoteh bankers should be relieved from the necessity of holding gold, when that necessity was imposed on the English bankers. A better arrangement of the Scotch banking sys tem would do away with• the great objection to the 11. note system. The better order of Scotch bankers hold about one fifth of their circulation in coin, and it would be no hardship to others to impose the same necessity on them. The measure would operate very unfairly in favour of the Scotch bankers, as compared with the English system. The Scotch bankers were allowed to have one-fifth more circulation in notes than they had coin in their coffers, while the English bankers were compelled to pay all above their allowed circulation in notes of the Bank of England, whch, of course, they must borrow from the Bank. The Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE did not wish to say much upon this subject, but his opinion was that he did not think the present state of banking in Scotland warranted the interference of the Legislature at all. The losses, and failures, and bank. ruptcies that had attended the interference hitherto of the Le giclature with the banking system in England had been un known in Scotland ; but now the Legislature, having taken up ti e question, and were about to make lees regulating the Scotch banking system, he had no doubt but that a very short time only would elapse before the same evils would be the con sequence of this interference. They had all seen that evils of the same nature had resulted in America from legislative inter ference, though not to the same extent as in England. On these grounds he contended that the present system of banking in Scotland should not be interfered with, at least by such le gislative interference as that of which he had been speaking, for it certainly would not be attended with beneficial results. Mr. MUNTZ did not intend"to say much upon the subject. He would merely observe that the only thing he had to com plain of was, that the Right Hon. Baronet in preferring this measure had not gone far enough. He could not see why if one-pound notes were good far Ireland and Scotland, they should not also be good for England ; and, on the other hand, if they were bad for England, why should their circulation be permitted in Scotland? Mr. BARING thought that last year's Bill decided the principle upon which they should proceed. They limited the banks of issue in Scotland and in Ireland last year, and the Government would not have granted the monopolies which they had conferred, without reserving to themselves the right of regulating the one-pound note system afterwards. He pro fessed himself a disciple of the old school, and would read to them an extract from Adam bmith, in which it would be found that his opinion was not very favourable to the advocates of the small-note issues. The Hon. Gentleman then read the ex tract; and went on to say that anybody who looked to the com mercial prosperity of this country, which had increased so much for the last fifty years, and asserted that that prosperity was traceable to the banking system which existed here, he would be laughed at. Now, ho held that the same system of reasoning applied to Scotland. It was not, he con • sidered, a fair inference that the commercial prosperity of Scotland entirely proceeded from the banking system, which was established there. It was rather attributable, he con sidered, to the prudence and commercial habits of the people. There never, too, was a greater mistake than to draw in ferences from the fluctuations in bullion. For in the year 1837, a time of great commercial depression, when the bul lion in the Bank of England was reduced to five or six mil lions, was the diminution in the circulation of the Bank of Scotland proportionally reduced ? Quite the contrary. So far from being reduced, he found there was an actual increase of 165,000/. And again in August, lin, while the bullion was decreased 2,440,000/. in the Bank of England, there was an increase (but a small one, however) in the circulation of the Bank of Scotland. He was very much afraid that they did not follow out in practice the principles which they had laid down. He would not, however, detain the House b 3 repeating the ar guments of the Hen. Member for Halifax, and under all the circumstances he would give the Bill his support. Mr. ROSS thought he should best consult the feel** of the House in adopting the example set him by the Hon. Member for Halifax, in not mixing up the Irish and the English part of the question. He begged, however, to assure the House, that he would bring the whole system of Irish banking before them on a future occasion. Mr. OSWALD thought that the people of Scotland would be quite satisfied to be left alone altogether.—(A laugh.) He had very carefully examined the nature and bearings of the measure, and they had no great fault to find with it in the main. Any objection he had to make would be brought for ward when the question went into Committee. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, On the first clause being read, Mr. BANNERMAN moved as an amendment that the words "said period of one year preceding the first day of May 1845," be omitted, and to substitute the following words— " period of four weeks immediately preceding the 7th day of December 1844." Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that it was totally out of his power to agree to the proposition. He believed that the arrangement that had been proposed would lead to conciliation. —( Hear, hear.) He believed that without disparaging the issue of the banks of Scotland, the bank would be enabled to provide for it without any increase of the amount of bullion. Mr. H UME thought not one point of benefit had been pre • sented by any Hon. Member that could be derived from the measure. He thought the present measure was a breach of faith, and they were about to restrict circulation. The very first words of the preamble of the Bill were at variance with the provisions which the Right Hon. Baronet had obtained leave to introduce, and as the whole people of Scotland were unanimously against the measure, he concurred with his Hon. Friend the Member for Kilmarnock, in conjuring the :Go vernment to consult the interests of that country, although, perhaps, by a majority, wholly ignorant of the measure and its effects, it might be carried in opposition to their wishes. Sir R. PEEL declared that a more unfounded charge bad never been made than that of accusing him of having broken a pledge solemnly given to the House, of having brought forward a Bill at variance with that which he had obtained leave to introduce.--( Hear, hear.) He would show that, lik e many other of the Hon. Member's assertions, this charge was falla cious and unfounded.—(A laugh.) The preamble of the Bill, as originally propounded, recited the identical provisions of the prevent measure. He proposed to ascertain the averages by the issue of the month. The variations in banking in Scotland at certain periods of the year were unquestionable and remarkable. In the months of May and October, the circulation was materially affected, and if the average should be taken during those equivocal periods, the deductions would be fallacious, and, if acted upon, dangerous. The periods, he contended, should be thirteen lunar months from the date of the passing of the Bill. The average issue of the Scotch banks was 3,041,3991., while 3,061,000/. was the average of the last, and anticipated average of the next year. Such had been the computations as originally propounded, and he would therefore ask the House how, when the same were now repeated, he could be charged with breaking his pledge or introducing a Bill at variance with his previous enunciation& ?—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. HUbIE would not re t or t th e c h arge of inconsistency or error, although it was singular bow often the Right Hon. Baronet had followed his (Mr. Hume's) advice, after pre viously and obstinately opposing it; and how often he had changed his course and adopted the principles of those he charged with ignorance and fallacy.—(Loud laughter.) He could prove, from the preamble of the Bill, that restrictions were anticipated by it—restrictions wholly at variance with the pledge previously given. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that such was not the provision of the Bill. The bankers in Scotland would not be entitled to issue more than 3,061,0001., unless they bad a reserve of gold warranting an increase. Such a reserve they frequently had, and the operations of the Bill merely enjoined a registration of the excess. Mr. DENISON contended, from a statement of a Com mittee of Bankers, that so far from an increase of 30,000/., it would exceed 100,000/., making the average circulation of Scotland 4,000,000/. instead of 3,000,0001. Mr. OSWALD thought the sum of 3,063,000/., as provided by the Bill, too limited for the present wants of the country. The raceme would Wert the banks in the agrieultural dis icicle, but the great banks in Edinburgh and Glasgow would not be influenced by it.. The real s( fferers would be the country banks in the rural districts, if the Right Hon, Baronet did not concede something to the feelings of the people of Scotland, by a relaxation of the restriction he proposed. Mr. ROCHE did not see that the present measure was called for, as to the former banking system in Scotland that country was indk bted for all the good she had achieved, up to that moment, in trade, commerce, and general improvement. Sir G. CLERK defended the restriction of the Bill relative to the issues, and if the principle of a certain amount of gold in proportion to issues was to be maintained, he could riot see how the amount of specie could he reduced. Mr. FOX 51AULE corroborated the statement of Mr. Oswald, as to the influence of the Bill on the agricultural banks, and cited several banks in Scotland that would be inju riously affected by it. They should pause ere they changed a system which had produced such great advantages during the last 120 years. Mr. P. M. STEWART w i s h ed that the principle of avo ragecirculation was e x t en d e d to S cotland, for he felt confident se the ot eh minimum that it would answe r qu i te as well there as in England. The banks sm oughtreturns to allowed be circulation t o nm e amend returns Scotland, m made e d were the those returns; and the fair adjustment of this point would be to allow the Scotch banks to amend their returns, and ob tain the fair average, which would be four millions sterling. It was a motion of great moment, and the practical effect of the measure would be, in many instances, the limiting the metropolitan banks to a very low circulation. They must call in the small banks, which would seriously injure the popula tion of the rural district. Was it worth while that they should risk such an important interest by refusing that which was only a fair working out of the principle of the Bill ? An How. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, ob served, that in considering these twelve months, from which the average was taken in eight cases out of ten, a maximum average had been given to the circulation of England. And therefore he would say that, whether from accident, or any other cause, the English banks, instead of being placed in a worse situation than the Scot eb, were placed in a much bet ter position. Ho hoped the right Hon. Baronet would allow the Scotch Banks to amend their returns. Sir R. PEEL said the English bankers had asked to have that period given them which would furnish a maximum re turn, but it was refused to them, and he hoped the House would not ROW decide upon subjecting the people of England to dis advantages to which the people of Scotland were not subject. The truth was the measure was more favourable to Scotland than the English measure was to England.—(Hear, hear.) There was this difference between them, that whatever amount of gold the bankers held in this country, they were not allowed to increase the Issue. He hoped that the Irish Members would not, on this occasion, join with the Scotch—(Loud laughter)—but consider the case of Scotland as separate from England. The Scotch bankers were riot entitled to greater advantages than the bankers of this country. He relied upon the general sense of the House for maintaining a proposal which was net unjust, but which, if erroneous or unjust, was certainly unjust in favour of Scotland. Sir R. FERGUSON said, that daring the last year there had been increased prosperity in Ireland, and he would im plore the House not to allow such a Bill to pass as would put restrictions on their currency. Mr. M UNTZ agreed with the Right lion. Gentleman at the head of the Government that the present measure was decidedly favourable for the currency of Scotland, but he would have wished it to have been extended on a more liberal plan. The House then divided, when there appeared For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment —2s The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2 being proposed, a desultory discussion took place, in which the Honourable Sir. Bouverie, Ilir. Redingtan, and Mr. Charles Wood, took part. The clause having been put, Mr. DENNIS'IOUN said that it was understood by tankers generally, that the Government would not press this clause, and ho should therefore beg leave to move a verbal amendment. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendinemt 3l Against it Mori aai The clause was a then ag g reed nst to. it Clauses 3,4, 5,6, and 7, were passed without any dis cussion. On clause 8 bei ng put b y the Chairman, Air. F. MAULE said he had an amendment to move upon this clause, and he should, therefore, move that the Chairman do report progress.. _ The HOuso;' having resumed, the CHAMACAN reported ac cordingly, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. The other orders of the :day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at One o'Clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 5. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Several Noble Lords and Right Rev. Prelates presented petitions against the Maynooth grant. RAILWAY BILLS. A number of Railway Bills were brought up from the House of Commons. On the motion of Earl FORTESCUE, the Small Debts Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Mon day *ext. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from the mayor and corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne praying the House to adopt some sanatory regulations for large towns. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord BROUGHAM called attention to the crowded state of the House on the preceding evening, and complained of their Lordships being obliged to meet in a place by no mean. sufficieutly large to contain the whole of their number. Ile wished to ask the Noble Marquis who took an interest in this matter whether ho intended to renew his motion on the subject of the new Houses of Parliament ? The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought it highly unjust and improper that their Lordships should be compelled to continue longer in the present .building. It was absolutely necessary that something should be done to urge on the com pletion of the new House, and this was not merely a matter of publio convenience, but a matter appertaining really to the health of their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) They ought, cer tainly, to have been in the new House before this time, and they most undoubtedly would have been, had proper attention been paid to the subject. They would long ago have been in the other House, had it not been that some hesitation had been felt about the beat decorations and ornaments to be used in the House, which were properly introduced as subsidiary to the dignity of the place in which they assem bl e d, b ut w hi c h oug h t to be entirely a matter of secondary consideration. In answer to the Noble and Learned Lord, he begged to state that it was his intention, whenever a favourable opportunity presented itself, to move the re-appointment of the Committee up stairs. —( Hear. ) The Marquis of NORMANBY wished to say a word or two on this subject. It was impossible to endure the sufferings to which they had been subjected for the last three nights, as well from the vitiated air produced by the imperfect way in which the House was ventilated, as from the sudden drafts en ' that side of the House. He had himself caught a cold a short time ago, which confined him to the house for nearly a week, and he could attribute it to no other cause than the drafts of that House. He hoped, therefore, that some means would be resorted to for the purpose of obtaining an assurance that these evils would be remedied before the next session of Par liament. Lord CAMPBELL thought that it was not creditable that these complaints, which had been reiterated so often, should be still unattended to. Lord BROUGHAM said it appeared to him that Mr. Barry did all but set that House at defiance. Mr. Barry conceived he had high protection in that House, but let him take care that he would not find himself mistaken. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions against the imprisonment for small debts. Lord BROUGHAM said the wishes of the petitioners amounted: to nothing more or less than this, that they should contract small debts, but never be asked t o pay them, or forfeit their goods for them, or be put in gaol for them.—(Laughter.) He now begged to present a petition from a Noble Lord a Member of that House, in which the petitioner complained that a branch of the Nottingham railroad in the midland counties, proposed to pass through a part of his estate, would not only destroy his game preserves, but also render it impossible that any one could live comfortably in his house, on which he had recently expended 10,000/. He the. efore appealed to their Lordships, having in vain sought justice elsewhere. He (Lord Brougham) begged to move that the petitiou be referred to the Committee. -111 A YNOOTH GRANT. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented twenty-five p e _ . tions against the grant to Maynooth, from the following amongst other places :—Kent. Devonshire, Surrey, Dublin, Sussex, Buckinghamshire, Winchester, Stafford, York, Bles sington, Lincoln, Leicester, Devon, and Derby. While he was now on his legs he would beg to call attention to a matter somewhat personal to himself. He had heard it said that he had been reported to have said in that House that he had ac cused an Hon. Member of the other House of Parliament of having acted dishonestly or insidiously. (The Noble Lord was understood to allude to Mr. Gladstone) He (Lord Win chilsea) had not seen a report of his speech, but he scarcely thought it possible he could have used such words—( Cries of " No, no")—for, he believed, there lived not a more honour able or high-minded man than that Hen. Member.--4 Hear. ) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that he would ask a question on Monday next of the First Lord of the Admiraly, relative to the harbour of Donoghadee. Tho Marquis of BRE ADALBANE said he regretted to have heard the Noble Lord who closed the debate on the Maynooth Bill, say that the petitions against that measure should not be deemed indicative of the feeling of the country, or looked upon as genuine. Lord STANLEY said his Noble Friend must be under some misapprehension as to what he had said. What he did say was, that many of those petitions had emanated from vari ous causes, and different expedients had been resorted to to get them up; but he did not say that he had not the highest re spect for the petitioners.—( Hear.) TRIAL BY JURY IN IRELAND. Lord CAMPBELL said he had a question to ask his Noble Friend the Lord Chancellor in reference to the present state of trial by jury in Ireland. At present the state of the law in that respect was this, that the process of challenge to the array had been stopped, and no measure as a remedy had as yet been proposed. Now, he (Lord Campbell) would like to know if any such measure would be . proposed before the close of the session, which was now waning fast. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had more than once stated that the defect, of which his Noble and Learned Friend eamplained, should be rectified. In fact, he had a Bill pre pared, by which he proposed to supply the requisite remedy, and with the assistance of his Noble and Learned Friend he hoped to be able to introduce that Bill early in the next week. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS CONSOLIDATION BILL. Lord COTTENHAM moved the order of the day that their Lordships should go into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Courts Consolidation Bill. The Bishop of EXETER opposed the Bill. He denied that the State had any jurisdiction whatever in civil things, and therefore it could not confer . a power on any judge in reference to ecclesiastical matters which it did not itself possess. He therefore thought that if the Government valued the sup port of an important portion of her Majesty's subjects, they would not lend their sanction to that Bill. He concluded by moving that the Bill be committed that day six months. The LORD CHANCELLOR knew that many changes had been introduced in the Bill when it had been before the Committee; but he was not aware till that moment from what source those alterations proceeded. As far as he was concerned he approved of the Bill in its original form. Lord BROUGHAM thought that there must have been some mistake in reference to the Bill. He did not know what the Judge Advocate bad to do with the alterations that had been referred to. Lord COT TENHAM wondered that the Right Rev. Pre late should oppose a Bill which had been submitted to and sup ported by the Committee in 1836, •f which he had been a Member. It war a Bill sanctioned by the Members of her Majesty's Government. It had been reported favourably of by the Committee, and had passed the second reading. The Bishop of EXETER explained, and said the Commit tee had been justilled in all they had done. He was a member of the Committee, but at the same time he should have no ob jection to have a Select Committee appointed for further in quiry. The amendment was withdrawn. - Lord ABINGER hoped that the Bill would never be al , lowed to pass by their Lordships. The Bishop of SALISBURY thought that before such a ' measure were introduced those who sat on the bench which he occupied should have been consulted. He had been much sur prised, when down in the country, on reading an account of the second reading of the Bill. He had come down to the House prepared to suggest the course which had been already proposed, namely, that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee. He did not consider the change proposed respecting the Courts involved any essential principle in the character of the Church ; it was merely a question of public convenience. Whether it was advisable to make that change he was not prepared to con tend; only he thought the onus lay with those who proposed tl.e alteration. It was their duty to show that such . a course was desirable. After a few words from Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and Campbell, it was agreed to refer the Bill to a Select Committee. CALICO PRINT WORKS. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the third reading of the Calico Print Works Bill. Lord CAMPBELL suggested several alterations of a verbal nature in reference to the employment o f marr i e d . women in factories. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said the Bill had met not only with the concurrence of Parliament, but with the sanc tion of the great manufacturers of the north, Mr. Cobden and others. The Bill was then read a third time. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the adjcurnment of the 11 , .use to Monday night. Lord BROUGHAM would decidedly oppose the motion. They could not afford to lose so much tim , , and the judicial business would be completely retarded. They had been dancing attendance upon Mr. Garry, the architect, and now they were going to lose more time. It was a most extravagant proposition to move an adjournment of their Lordships' House on account of a ball in another quarter of the town. Nothing could be more absurd. Lord WHARNCLIFFE had no objection whatever to their Lordships meeting to morrow. Lord BROUGHAM said the House would not be detained half an hour, ansi their Lordships might come down in full dress. He would be very happy to see his Noble Friend the President of the Council in the dress in which he understood ' _ . le must appear at the QuceusdalOhat of Lord Burleigh.— Laughter.) Th;ir Loidshipa then adjourned till to-morrow, this day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERD.AY.
