Lord JOcaLrx asked MiAtidero` on the part of the East India House; they had any objection to lay before the House any papers re specting the recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH ? Mr. HOGG said he was net the organ of the Directors, but expressed a hope, in consequence of what, had occurred in the House of Lords, that the House, and the public, would suspend their judgment upon the course which the Court of Directors had pursued. Mr. HUME thought the Court had acted rightly, and asked Sir itOBEET PEEL whether there would be any objection to lay on the table the correspondence which had taken place between the Government and the Board on the subject ? - Sir R. PEEL declined answering the question. Mr. Fox MAULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the administration of oaths in the uni versities of Scotland. His object was to do away with a system of tests which might have been justified at the time they were adopted, but which, in the pre sent spirit of the age, were totally and entirely obnoxious to the feelings of all men of liberal educa tion, which could be attended with no good effect to the Established Church, but, on the contrary, was calculated to pull down rather than to support that venerable fabric. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the motion, because he considered himself bound to maintain inviolate the Presbyterian Church as established in Scotland. - Mr. RUTHERFORD supported the motion, and de scribed the danger which would be the. certain con sequence of religious tests. They would, he said, not only destroy the Church, but they would create a sectarian Church, which would become a most in tolerable evil. The LAD. ADVOCATE opposed the motion, and after several - speeches, chiefly from Scotch Members, the - House'dlvidect - When the numbers were—for the motion 101 ; against it, 128. The other business on the paper_ was then disposed of,'4'ndihe douse adjourned , at Ealf-past One o'clock. In ' , adverting yesterday to the Budget of the ClusicELLoni of the ExOrmiquEn, we gave him due credit for tit fidelity With which he had redeemed his promiie of bringing forward the customary financial statement of the year on the appointed evening, instead of withholding it (after a bad official faihion of recent growth), by repeated postponements, 'to a much Mere advanced period-ofthe session. We can now pay this additional tribiita:to the Right Hon. Gentleirian's Ministerial punctuality and dis icretioe.lle f(:ectiiately recapitulated the estimate he . had announced, in his statement of last year; with regard to the Ivarieus items-of thapublic income and -expenditure; and __Was at no pains to slur over lanyiif the element&-of-deduction which it was necee 'airy to apply to the due appreciation of the results he had, to communicate to the .House,- favourable as, primii facie, these were. For this ,candour the public are much beholdento_him; "and for ourselves, we can tray, say that it -tells _with us to great advantage by -the side of,thai.apecious ) plausibility with. which his 'Right Hon. Leader and qhief.affects,.on.all occasions; to have nothing to conceal ; • whereas the truth is, in nine, cases out often, thiS pseudo ingenuousness amounts merely to the fact—that he has nothing to 'communicate. i Mr: GOUILIkVILN, undoubtedly, went 'about hii figures_ and stated his case like a man of business; openly and distinctly. So much; for the Right =lion, 'Gentleman's statistics. As to the scheme of fatiiiss finance which they developed—the soundness of the economic -principles on which he proposed,. -to existing duties and imposts, their re tention orthein modification—the amount of conces sions:whilth these - 'modifications involved to the great necessity of free, trade—;or the ground which the whale statement . afforded for any reasonable hope of .the introduction into the councils of. Government of a liberal and intelligent policy that shall appreciate the cruelly degraded condition and the righteous demands of- that portion of the community whose -- eiistence depends on the expansion and activity of the . ; M foaritet.r industrial labour, we must confess we are utterly' disappointed with this Budget of 1844. Its . • exposition, moreover,. held out, even incidentally, no hopes to domestic trade or the foreign commerce of the country,- fcieretief froM thosafiscal shackles which • cramp,. by. absurdly imposed, or excessive duties, their just evolution in eoret bra:noshes,: and absolutely para lyze their energies in others. And, above all, it passed over, unnoticed, unremembered as it were, the press ing domestic question of every hour, " What is to be done towards the revision of our monetary system ?" On the general statement of income or revenue, and expenditure, it is clear that Mr. GOULBUItiI boasts that, after paying of the balance of deficit of 1843 namely, 2,749,0004 he has, this ,year, an available surplus of 1,400,0001. Now with the disposition of 2,749,000/.'we have quarrel. It may have been much better thus. to pay ; deficiency for 1843 out of revenue ter 1844, than to extinguish it—for the pre sent only- 7 -by lean. ,But r 'we, ,cannot without a rant.- mur witness his . appropriation of the •1,400,0001. Altogether, Mr. WILLIAMS, .of Coventry, well reminded .) Nth, there had been, with the income and property-tar l amounting, alone, in this last year, to 4;loo,ooo4,:an.`aggregate of additional taxes during the last four .years, of no less than 8;000,0001.- Well,• with thiselastie public income, and this net balance iii raven: .

Let us not be blind to the alternative of its non-intervention.' Left 'to itself;to pursue, the-- same course in which it has already encountered shocks so frequent and so disastrous,- that system must inevitably work out to the fatal issue we have already indicated in former articles, of panic, private bankruptcy, national embarrassment, and commercial ruin just as it would do under the active superintendence _and dirction of the most gifted enemy to British great-. ness. This inevitable tendency to destruction in the existing system we would earnestly impress on the minds of that considerable portion of the community who, though alive to the imperfections and the perils of that system, are yet content to await their de velopment, rather than incur the risks which they attribute to such a process of unsettlement and disor ganisation as they assume must be the effects of any change in our monetary policy. How mischievous this laissez faire philosophy in economic policy may be, and how absurdly exaggerated are the fears upon which it is based, we shall hereafter be enabled to de monstrate. It is carrying out too literally, and to an extravagant application, the wise axiom of the poet : -" Better to bear the ills we have Than fly to others which we know not of." A man who should find himself in a fire-ship would hardly push his respect for this axiom to the extent of not cutting off the train, which he sees, by the index; that the match already burning must otherwise ignite, within a given number of seconds. It would be no violent imputation on his philosophy or his good sense to hazard the unknown fate—captivity, or escape, for example—which may await him after securing the craft he is in from annihilation, rather than to leave a certain fate to burst upon him with all its horrors of explosion and _ combustion, simply because he is cognizant of the nature and the presence of its elements. We are anxious to deprecate this plausible plea for inaction —this well sounding apology for, apathy or timidity —as one of the most dangerous that men can indulge in, in these times. It is nothing for parties to urge their dislike to open, up and disturb the disastrous set tlement of a vast question, on the mere fact of that assumed settlement having, taken place five-and twenty years ago, unless they can show that the principles upon which their concurrence in so re opening it is asked is new, visionary, or purely theo retical. Failing to show this, they have admitted the national mischief and prejudice produced by what they call the "settlement" of the. question;. yet are content so far tolail in their common duty to the pub lic weal, , as to stand aloof from all attempts to obviate that prejudice, and to repair that mischief. Now, the principles on which they. proceed, who are at•this time, and fora some time past have been, labouring to obtain from the Legislature an imme diate-revision of our existing monetary system, are, as was observed last week by Mr. SperruswooDE, on taking the chair at a meeting of the Protection of Industry' Society, " as ancient as ARISTOTLE and .PLAro." , So far from being visionary or purely theoretical, they were adopted into the civil policy of the most distinguished republics of Greece, and of Rome herself (as shown by the very able author of . " The Essay. on Money," Land. 1843) ; and they were successfully incorporated into our own law and usages in respect 'of currency, fiorn a period dating before the. Conquest down to, the Revolution. This, too, is the view announced by Mr. ENDERBY, in his recent pamphlet on "The 'Distress of the Nation, its Causes, and Remedies." Feeling the injurious ope ration of this repugnance. to " new principles," Mr. ENDERBY admits, for the sake of the argument, the ,;* , ',,-,, ' rAffzi. f , 4 : • • , * i ' 4IV , , k) ,' - ii,:5.r,*.,140,.... 11, • ..,-; 4, • =Pi - irs.,..

For our own parts, we would put the whole argu ment we propose to raise for a return to a, legalised paper currency on no other or, higher ground. If we cannot make out a case for such a remedial mea sure on principles evident to common sense, and con firmed by the most ordinary tests of investigation and proof—analogy and experience—we shall be con. tent to acknowledge to failure not less signal than that which has attended the predictions of Sir ROBERT PiEL and the _late Earl of LIVER roOL, about the effects of the measure of 1819. Having, in a former article, demonstrated the grave and rnost• remarkable, not *to say disin genuous, errors of simple statement committed by , the late Mr. HUSHISSON in dealing with the statistics on which the Currency Bill of 1819 is admitted to have been founded ; the errors of calculation, and the anti- cipated scale of depreciation that they respectively adopted, which the late Messrs. •RICARDO and HORNER, Mr. GRENFELt, and others of the metallic heresy, fell into in the discussions -and controversial pamphleteering of that day—we must request ,the reader, for the purposes of- that fair consideration we, shall 'crave for our argument against maintaining what is called the gold "standard of value," to • dismiss from , his mind the'-influence ,of mere names. There is unfOrtunately no lack of evidende on which to presume the fact ; of their having egregiously erred in the doctrines they aided more or less to force upon the practical adOp tion of the Legislature . and the pOlid., There is still le4 defiCiency, of pvidence as to the ruinous conse quences which have,- under the application - of the measure founded on these doctrines, ensued' to commerce, to the condition of the middling clasdes, and especially to the ~industrial, population. of these kingdoms. We shall, in; a future - paper, ;proceed:to show that our present Monetary system cannot be. carried on without speedily producing a crisis and a panic more dreadful than any which the oldest man -living among us- can• recollect ; -and a disorga nization of invested 'capital, and even , displacement of labour, with all their attendant evils, -to an extent of injury, to the resources of ; the empire and 'their healthful action which it may require half a - century to'retrieve. We shall show that by a paper currency (one of two or three denominations which haveteen lately suggested) duly authenticated--to an extent equal, say to the aggregate of our present taxation, not convertible into gold, except indeed at the market value of bullion (should that - condition be really:de sired), but circulating together - with - the present isms of Bank of England and other bank notes, and the gold and silver coinage —and _tec.ciVable..by the QuaEres Exchequer and the Treasury, iii payMent of taxes of all kinds, dues, fines, &c., the demand .for industrial labour might be largely: and: permanently increased ; the trade of : the empire immensely ex panded, our issues sufficiently guarded against the contractions of the Bank of England issues . rendered nugatory, and, by consequence ; the panics occasioned thereby obviated. We shall show that these ends can be attained only .by the abrogation of law which, fixing the price of gold, too often leaves that .statutably cheap whilst all . other commodities are marketably dear; aild thus compels those . to whom.the controlling . pOwer Over . the whole currency is,, un wisely:Confided, unnaturally to limit their own issues, to be the9Lbetter enabled to answer the demands of the •publie • for - the conversion; 'of their'own notes. nto gbld.:.. Finally, We, shall show that this improved , system of ,paper currency : supplies the only.poiver of distribution , and consumption, which can keep pace with, and make available to, the general happiness and wealth, that at present over-productiveness and ways accumulating manufacturing energy, Which is now the bane and the ctirse instead of the reward and the support, of bur operative classes. If after establishing these premises, as we have no doubt. of doing, we shalt succeed in proving the delusive nature of the : anticipated injury to our - honie trade . and foreign commerce, from the - high prices which this influic of paper money will occasion, and in esta,blish ing the advantage ultimately accruing to the Whole community from those heightened prices, we shall have, we trust, made good our demand for the instant repeal of PEEL'S Bill of 1819. Madrid journals of the 22d•ult. have been received, but they bring no news. In the Corr esponsal, a Goxern ment paper, the 'doings of the Baavo Cabinet are Summed up these words :—" The Ministry . , are employed on the magnificent work ,of re-organizing unhappy Spain." On the 'Bourse business' was done in the Three per Cents. to , the amount of millions and a half, besides 17 millions in the Five per Cents., and 13 millions in coupons. The Three per Cents. opened at 36t, at 60 days, and after a good deal of fluctua tion rose to 38, when they began to decline, and ulthnitely fell to 353, at which price they closed. The Five per. Cents. opened at 221, and closed, at 22 5-16, at 60elays.-- . • • The raris papers ,bring, no intelligence of -import ance. The discussion on the Education Bill in the Chamber of Peers was continued on Saturday, and 'again adjourned. Every one seems tired of the affair, but as a great number of Peers had inscribed their names, and prepared speeches for the occasion, as' a" matter of course, they must go through the ceremony. The Bill introduced by the Government will be adopted without any material alteration. In the : Chamber of Deputies numerous petitions were pres'ented for the abolition_ of slavery in the colonies ; 1 1 and on Saturday next a report is to be made on the subject, which is looked forward to with great in terest, as the Minister of Marine, Admiral MACKALT, had' announced that he would take that opportunity of stating to the Chamber the views of,the Government, with regard 'to the proposed changes. Arrests still cpntinue to be made,. in the army, but no journal states for what cause. The following mysterious state ment appears in the Caurrier Francais of Sunday : " The arrest, of non-commissioned officers still con tinues, and the rumours of military conspiracies are, therefore, gaining ground. Rigorous measures have been exercised towards the Bth Artillery, which has recently left Toulouse. It is even affirmed that the Ministry suspect officers, some of a high rank. The imprisonment of a colonel was at one time agitated, and it is only. owing to. motives of relationship that that superior officer has_not been arrested at the head of his regiment. The Ministry proceed with the utmost secrecy; they are ordered to act with the greatest caution, in order not to irritate the army, and not to let the Government's apprehension transpire. They, therefore, say that the reports afloat relative to the discontent of the army are quite unfounded; but their assertions inspire no confidence, when one knows the measures they deem it necessary to re sort to.” DEPARTURN OF THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.—Their Majesties King Leopold and the Queen of the Belgians embarked at Woolwich dock yard yesterday for Ostend, having; taken leave of her' Majesty and Prince Albert. Their Majesties and suite arrived in one of the Royal carriages at Wool wich_dockyard about eleven . o'clock, from Bucking ham Palace, and soon afterwards went on board the steam-packet for Ostend. THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.—On Monday the So liciter-General resumed his address in opposing the motion of Mr. Whiteside for a new trial, and stated that all that had been said in siupport of obtaining a new trial was mere repetition of the arguments put forward on the motion to quash the panel. Mr. Whiteside contended that-the omission of those names was the result of fraud or design, and not accident. Now he would say, that whatever ground there might be to apply the fraud to the other side, there was none that could in the slightest degree attach it to the Crown. He did not say that the traversers, or -any one acting for th em , was guilty of fraud, but when a charge of the kind was made, and that it was sought to apply it to those acting, on the part of the Crown, he had a right to retort, and say that if fraud existed at all it was much more applicable to the other side. Mere . was not the slightest ground to show that the omission of the names was the result of fraud or con trivance. After tiring the bench and the 'audience .with a long heavy speech, he intimated that he could not conclude his argument till next day, and the Court adjourned at four o'clock. It would be diffi cult to point out any trial during which so many long-winded speeches have been made.. The Counsel for the Crown seem to vie with the traversers in making these monster trials utterly ridiculous. A NEw• FEATURES IN Trfli INCOME-TAY.--When Sir Robert Peel propoSed this measure in the House of Commons, he dwelt at some length on the strict sedresy which would be observed by all th• officers appointed to make up the returns. In fact, the business was to be done in such a private and gen tlemanly way, that the left hand of Mr. Collector would not know what his right did. ' As A proof how promises and engagements made in Par hament.vanish into thin air, we may state,•that in one district of the borough of Southwark the tax papers containing the amount due for the year ending March, 1844; are delivered without any envelope or covering whatever, and the amount of each man's income be comes known to all who have the curiosity to pry into the state of his affairs. .

Hall, Store-street, Mr. Wilson gave his favourite entertainment of " Anither Night Burns," when he 'sang a- number of the poet's most admired songs with his accustomed success. The songs of" Mary Xerisen; ' " Poortith , Cauld," and ",Wilt thou be my Dearie " all charmingstrains, wedded to exquisite old airs, were delight fully given; while the humorous ditties of " Sherramuir" and` "My spouse Nancy" produced mirth unbounded. Mr. Wilson announced that next Monday he would give' a new entertainment, entitled "Jacobite Relics," and sing a number of the most, popular aongs.of 'l5 and '45. This is a fine field for Wilinn, and he lint doubtless add another wreath to his broW by his resuscitationuf seme.of, those delightful and in teresting songs which worked se powerfully on the feelings of the' people during the times alluded to. We hope he will give us"" Lewid Gordon," "The Blackbird," and some of the plaintive.'ones, as well as those rousing, ones he knows so well how to give. He himself is a good judge, however,' of what will please the public, and the selection *ill' no doubt be an excellent one. We see that Mr. Wilson refiumes his morning entertainments in the Hanover-square Rooms to day, When of course he will be greeted by a brilliant assemblage of fashionables.. AGED PILGRIMS' .SOCIETY.—The thirty-seventh anniversary of this In s titution (established in 1807 for the purpose of ahrding relief to destitute and aged Christians, of both 'sexes and all denominations) was • celebrated at the London Tavern, 'Bishopsgate-street, on Monday ; Thomas Thompson, 'Esq., in the chair. The report stated that tht subscriptions for'the past year amounted to 1,5761., of whic I,OOOL were from annual subscribers, and that 300 persons were at present receiving pensions from the Society. ' Several eloquent appeals were.made in the course of the evening on behalf of the charity, and a collection was made.in aid of its funds, after which the meeting separated. • 4TELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—OH Friday afternoon, as one'of the labourers in the employment of Messrs.

SUMMARY OF NEWS' AND Vubitt eptatton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Saturday, Louis Philippe went to saint Cloud, accom panied by General Chabannes and M. Fontaine. an architect, and, after inspecting some repairs which' are being made iu the palace, returned to the Tuileries to dinner. On Sunday, the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by most of the Royal Family, visited the gallery of the Louvre. Some of the journals mention the rumour of a grand review of the National Guard and garrison of Paris being contemplated in honour of her Royal Highness. The King and Queen of the Belgians were expected in Paris on Monday. The Duke of Montpensier still remains at Marseilles, and appears to be much occupied in visiting the different establish ments of the town, and receiving deputations from the civic authorities, the Chamber of Commerce, and other public bodies. The Re:forme states, that "the present month will be ren dered remarkable by the extent of mercantile failures in Paris. The bankruptcies already registered at the Tribunal of Commerce in the department of the Seine amount, as to the debts, to 5,000,000 f. At this moment, when commerce ought to be so prosperous, in consequence of the number of strangers at Paris, this return of bankruptcies demonstrates that trade is in a most dangerous condition, And, in fact, there passes not a day that we do not remark a sale by exe cution in some shop or warehouse." The Three per Cents. were done at Tortoni's on Sunday at 84 f. 20c. Accounts from Constantinople of the 10th, state that a serious altercation, followed by a challenge, had taken place between the French and Belgian Ministers at the Otto.. man Court. The Emperor of Russia has established an absentee tax by ukase, of 200 roubles a year. No Russian is to have a pass port to travel till he be twenty-five years of age. Accounts from New Orleans of the 31st of March, state that Mr. Hornsby, the editor of a Louisville journal, had been tried and convicted before the Criminal Court, of killing a Colonel Twogood in a duel, and sentenced to be imprisoned for tweaty-otle years. LAW AND POLICE. A woman named Elizabeth Cole, who has long been known at thejustice-room as a woman of most idle, drunken, and disorderly habits, was charged at the Mansion. house with having smashed a pane of glass. She said she did it to procure three months lodging in Bridewell, as she had more than once done before. The Lord Mayor committed her for fourteen days. • A gentleman came to the justice-room te make a com plaint against a publisher •of an illustrated journal in the French language, containing woodcut representations cal culated to excite ridicule against the Christian religion. He considered it necessary, he said, to keep the name of the publiiher private, lest the offensive work might gain a large circulation amongst those who derived amusement from such exhibitions, but did not think himself justified, having'seen it publicly exhibited for sale, in not informing the highest author;ty in , the City of so serious an offence , against morality and against the law. He had entered the shop for the purpose •of expostulating with the publisher; who, the moment the matter was complained of, offered one of the numbers for sale. The Lord Mayor advised him. to give information to the society established for the purpose of putting a stop to such publications. John White was charged with stealing a chest of tea, the property of Mr. Williams ' of Beer-lane, Thames-street. The prisoner, who was stated to be an old offender; was com mitted to Bridewell as a thief and a vagabond for three months. Elizabeth Monck, a woman about 35 years of age, attired in mourning, and who has frequently been convicted of rob beries perpetrated by her in a most adroit and ingenious, manner; was charged at Marylebone with having stolen articles of jewellery, the property of P. S. Cote, Esq., solicitor, 12, Park-road, Regent's fark,-to whose house she went under pretence -of hiring as a servant. The prisoner was remanded. Henry Johnson, a young man of Jewish appearance, was charged at Ma r lb oroug h- street w i t h steal i ng seventeenhair brushes from the shop of Mr. Grafftey, brushmaker, No. 20, Warwick -street. He was fully committed. John Shields, a wire -worker, in the Westminster road, was brought up for final examination at Union-hall, charged with forging and uttering several bills of • exchange, with intent to defraud Aaron Smith, of No. 3, - Clayland-road, Clapham. He was fully committed. Francesco Lanchar, a Spanish youth, 18 yeafs of age, dressed in the uniform of a serjeant in the Spanish army, was 'charged, at Lambeth-street, with stabbing • and seriously wounding a young man tamed Benjamin Rogers, who no w lies in the London Hospital its a dangerous state. Prisoner was remanded. In the Court of Common Pleas cause was shown on the part of Mr. Valiance, the solicitor of the Duke of Brunswick, in the prosecution of Barnard Gregory, against a rule that had been obtrined by the . Duke to set aside the taxation of 1301. 10g. In Mr. Vallence's hill of costs; the Duke swears that he never authorised the payment for which this item is the charge. This Mr. Valiance on affidavit denies. The matter was finally referred to the decision of the. Master. couirr—,r,a.suxereAßLE. The Countess of ,Jersey intends to give a grand ball on Monday next.

The chair was taken at eleven o'clock by the Right Hon. Sir Gone Rose who was surrounded on the platform by a 'retie number of leading ministers, and lay gentlemen, connected with the demonstration.

Now, it happens tbet party whose, principles are .thus boldly stated to ha v ' e increased the amount of crime in the country, ha invariably made every effort in their power to die . nish it, by the : prudence the liberality—and the e_, lightened character of their views.'
