At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; We, the undersigned, William Id. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, hanker in In verness, were appointed a D - putation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon .ion, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benetlt of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression. we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or t wo, to learn your determination ; but should we e so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope yon will IA kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lun sties, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few eel's attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam•.. ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made ibr the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary' contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,00 , ./. will he required to erect the necessary buildings, and to fonn a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary fluids will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to th • Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W. 11. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MACKENZIE.

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT QUEBEC. To the INHABITANTS of GREAT BRITAIN and IRE LAND, and of the COLONIES in BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. A more extensive calamity has never, it is believed, befallen any city on the continent of America than that which now compels the inhabitants of Quebec to appeal to the sympathy of their fellow subjects. One-third part of the extent of the city, and that the most populous, covering a space of a mile in length by half a mile in breadth, now lying in ruins-1,630 dwellings, two churches, an extensive ship-yard, several lumber-yards and wharfs laid in ashes— upwards of 12,000 people left, in the course of a few hours, without house, or home, or shelter, or food, or a change of clothing, or a bed to lie on, and without the means of procuring either, except by the labour of their hands—these single tonche - of the picture of devasta tion which we have to lay before you might suffice, but a few par ticulars may be added. At eleven o'clock in the morning of the 28th of May a fire broke nut in the St. Yalier suburb of Quebec, which Immediately spread to the adjoining suburb of St. Hoch, closely built, ahnost entirely of wood, and crowded with people; thence to the upper suburb of St. John, and in a few hours reached the western extremity of the lower town of Quebec, the timber yards and wharfs. Wafted on by a strong gale of wind, the flames leaped rather than communicated, not so much from house to house as from square to square of build ings, seizing various remote points at once, so that those who :eft their homes in security at one extremity of the suburb to assist at the distance of half a mile in staying the progress of the lire, were sud denly and soon recalled to endeavour, in vain, to save their own houses. No human power was of any avail to arrest the conflagra tion ; so rapid was its advance, that but little could be saved from the houses, and often life itself with difficulty ; many were overtaken in their flight by the flames and perished. Many who rose in th morning in possession of competence, or even of comparative wealth, 'he fruit of many years of industry and economy, found themselves in a state of destitution before night closed upon them. A million of money will not replace, in several years, the value of the property destroyed ; nor can any correct estimate be now termed of the re .1 extent of the calamity. A large part of the po pulation, on whom it has more immediately fallen, consisting mostly cf Canadians of French origin, supported themselves by the labour of their hands, and are now thrown out of employment by the de struction of the mantnactories and other estabishments of business in which they found it, or by the simultaneous destruction of tk property of those in better circumstances who employed or cosla have relieved them. Every class of society has directly or indirectly, but effectually, been reached by the wide spreading calamity. From the high public functionary to the pauper who walks the streets with nut a home—ail feet its effects. The resources of all to afford relief are impaired; and the case is in truth one beyond the resources of any such community as ours, in its best circumstances, to relieve. Not one-tenth part of the loss sustained was covered by insurance, and a .arge ortion of that so covered was insured in a Mutual Insurance 'ompany in the suburb destroyed, whose whole means have been -wept away in one common ruin. In a few months an inclement winter will add its rigours to the prevailing distress of the houseless mass of destitution ; and the ordinary channels of employment being then closed, and navigation at an end for six months, and the ordi nary course of communication and of relief, or escape from the icene of wretchedness, interrupted, the severity of the season will complete what the rage of the flames has begun, while in the mean time there is too much reason to fear that, as has happened in other instances of the like disaster, it may he aggravated by pestilence, produced by poverty and distress crowded into confined space. It is in these circumstances that we appeal to our fellow-subjects in the mother country and the sister colonies to come to our aid; : ut we do not make the appeal without having ourselves put forth , ur best energies to alleviate the misery around us. On the day after the conflagration 7,0001. were contributed in an hour, at a public meeting of our citizens, and nearly 4.000/. more have been since collected among us. Our sister city of Montreal Ilea liberally seconded our efforts by subscriptions, which, with an advance from the pro vincial Government of 2,000/., will probably reech the sum of 10,0001. Throughout the country parishes also the noblest spirit of liberality Ind of free Christian charity has been shown, in large supplies of clothing, erevieions, and money daily reaching Quebec, although the agricultural population has 'ieen of late in a state of great depression, a succession of unfavourable seasons and other adverse cir cumstances. But the facts and consideratims we have mentioned show how in adequate is this supply, even to the present immediate and most nressing necessity. Already has one-fourth of the money subscribed been exhauste I in the supply of the daily wants of the thousands re tuced to beggary. Thankful for their own immunity from the im mediate effects of the calamity, and acknowledging their Christian )bligation to contribute to the relief of their suffering brethren, those Among us who have not been deprived of the means have freely ~, i ven of the store with which the Almighty has blessed them, to the extent of their present abi iry ; an i having so done they look with confidence to the benevolent and charitable co-operation of their fellow subjects elsewhere. To rebuild the ruined portion of our city, to restore the ruined for tunes or former comforts of its inhabitants, must be the work of time, and of individual exertions, enterprise, and industry ; but to rescue the multitude now sunk into poverty by this visitation of Providence from the horrors of present destitution, and probable lisease, rendered mire severe by the inevitable rigours of our climate, requires an aid larger than we can supply, and as prompt as large, and it is for this that our present appeal is made.

THE DUKE OP NASSAU, Declare, by these presents, that being desirous to prevent and put a stop to the numerous falsifications committed in respect to the Waters of fielters (in England called Seltzer Water), in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, which have been made known to them on indisputable evidence, and wishing by every means in their power to secure for the future to the consumers of the Waters of Setters (Seltzer Water) in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, the enjoyment of the genuine - Water of that Spring, as also of the Springs of Fachingen, Schwa Mach, and Weasel), likewise the property of his Highness the D uke of Nassau, they have resolved, from the let of January, 1845, to use the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John Thomas Betts, of London, I cnown under the name of "BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE," as a top covering for all the bottles, both large and small, filled with the said Mineral Waters, for Mr. John Thomas Betts, and intended for the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, a!:d dependencies. On these Capsules are to be impressed the Arms of Nassau, and under the arms the name of the Water contained in the Bottle, with the words "BETTS, IMPORTER," and " BET fS'S PATENT," around. The above named Bottles, cspsuled in such a manner, will like wise bear, as heretofore, the usual marks, consisting of a Shield, im pressed on the Bottle, containing the arms of N,tssau, or a Crown, under which are the initials 11. N., and around the name of the Mine ral Watu contained in the Bottle, and also the usual burnt mark on the lower end of the cork. The General Direction of the Domains further declare by these presents, that they have granted to the said John Thomas Betts, Patentee of the above described Capsules, and to no one else in the Kingdom of Great Britain, its Colonies and Dependencies, the exclu sive right to purchase and export, direct from the Springs, the Waters of Sellers, Schwalbach, Fachingen, and Weilbach. They declare further, that the Bottles, after being filled with the respective Mineral Waters, are to be immediately, and in the pre sence of their officers, closed with the above earned Capsules.

WATER AT LONDO.N.LIUDGE THIS DAY Morning .. 33 minutes after 10 , Evening .. 8 minutes after 11 to the tone of emphatic deprecation in which any possible collision between Parliain, nt and the courts of law is spoken of. To the mischiefs of any such col lision we are fully alive ; but we cannot think that the same danger or inconvenience could attach to it new, v,hich might have been reasenahlv appre headed irons it prior ti• 1761, when GEORGE 111, first cneated juile,s by patents for life. Tliat is to say, se long as judges held their high and most exalted offices under the Crown, only " darn,* bene•placito" (as their appointments then ran), the policy of the State should have been what the spirit of the Constitution adopts— namely, to upheld the authority of decisions of the courts of law against all privilege beyond the law, claimed by the councils of the Crown, in which there would probably sit venal judges, its own creature.-. But now, when the tenure of the judge is qnaindiic se bene gesserit. there is nettling to fear, where other cir • cumstauces justify , Parlisment in r: sorting to its pri vilege for the protection of its owe offieers --•from its enfercing that privilege against the decisiet, if courts .1 law. Now H e can imagini no cases str,pger ti justify the assertion of this privilege thin ha before the House, or its uniiiediate predee, astir, " Stock oale v. Hans , rd. - The pubiication of evidence taken bef we the Coalluittees of Parliament, is pereaps one of the most uequalified public bsnefits the Legislature con fers on the country It the publisher of so notorious and scandalous a work us the " Wilson Memoirs," could it:duce a jury to believe teat he had really been libelled in one of the depositions printed by order of the House of Commons, among a hundred others, he was a lucky fellow. Bat we do not see that, therefore, the writ of a co..a of law, in which a verdict of damages had been taken by such a plaintiff, ought to defeat the exercise of so vital a power as the privilege of Parliament. Under other circumstances, and as against a private defendant, it would have mattered not one straw to the public whether an attorney—Mr. SMITH, or Mr. HOWARD, or Mr. JONES— did or did not make " a good thinCout of his action, or how light or how heavy damages he could in duce a jury to give him. But it matters much, indeed, whether Mr. !lowan]) should be allowed, by the capricious event of an apical to a court of law, with the benefit of his own technical management, to make the House of Commons change places with him, and sue it, by its offici:r, as a civil delinquent. From one parsgrsph the report before us it would appear that others are emulous of the successful experiment of Mr. HOWARD, " Three ether actions are pending at present against officer's of the House for acts done under its autho, ity, in one of these action; the damages have been laid at 100,000/. (! !) and they base all been brought in the Court of Queen's Bench." Of course, they have been. We will undertake to promise that Court an enormous accumulation of business in similar actions, if the Par liament do not interpose to put an end to the prevailing fever of Parliament pres , •cutions. But when some of these gentlemen are so m .dest in their estimate of the damages they shall go for, as to " write down " 100,0001 upon the record, the House of Commons must interpose to bar it ; if in no other character, surely in that of guardian of the public purse. But what is the proxi mate cause of a condition of things thus false and complicated ? As •it appears to us, the ill-judged in structions given by the House to Mr. Attorney-General to plead to the action, Nothing can be more moderate, yet dignified, more temperate or reasonable, than the language ot . the " Report," which we published on Sa turday. But we cannot help deploring the step thus taken in this remarkable business. The Committee state (and no doubt with perfect truth) that the probable in tention of the House, in permitting its officer to plead in this case, agreeably to the precedents of " But dett v. Abbott," and " Stotkdale v. Hansard," was not to sub mit its privileges to the jud ‘ ment of a court of la*, hitt merely to bring within the c• gnizance of the Court. in the most formal manlier, the fact that the acts com plained of by the plaintiff had been done by officers of the House. at the instance and under the authority of the Hens-. The Ceuta& tee wail:ally contend, in this view of the cgs., thie thi pliers ought at once to have beez adailtted by the Coon as a stiff - lent answer to the ac tion. The Court did no such teeing, and this is just one of those cases in which success alone can excuse art error in judgtrent, whatt,va were the grounds it went upon. We do not pause to inquire wherein the analogy con sist', that pointed out to the SOLICITOR-GENERAL the utterly different cas , s of Burdett v Abbott and Stoek i!ale v. Han=ard, as precedents to guide the House in its dealing with this action of "Howard v. Gossett." But with every respect for the Committee, we dissent from the doctrine affirmed, in relation to its " First Re port," that " as the levying of the plaintiff's execution " would, in no respect, prejudice the proceedings in the " Writ of Error," therefore they did not deem it ex " pedint to advise the House to interpose to prevent " the levy." Let us give th,• Committee and the House full credit for moderation in wishing to proceed by Wri! of Error to set aside judgment obtained by the plaintiff' It by no means followed that the vindication of the of Parliament would be established. It is now evident that it did n, .t, in fact, ensue on this permission of the levy. What have they gained by this course ? A lOss. They nre damnified, not bettered. The Com mittee postponed the distinct assertion of a great principle to a choice of proceedings which, at the best, migh t obviate the necessity for putting that principle immediately in issue. Which was the more important point E r them to have established ; that which would have inhibited, in limzue, any challenge in a court of law of the privilege, or that which might indeed, for this time, keep the great issue of its vindication out of the law courts altogether ; but could only do so, by invoking in a specific form the re medial, and, therefore, the protective, and, therefore, the superior authority of those very tribunals ? We shall ever deem it a fatal mistake to have pleaded ; because, on every principle recognised by the canon, the civil and the common law in this country, to appear in a jurisdic tion under its own form or citation, is to acknowledge it ; except, indeed, the appearance be under specific pro test. Here there has been no such protest. And if there had been one entered in a former stage of the pro ceedings, you tear off your own seal from it by going elsewhere for a writ of error—unless, indeed, you make your application so PROTESTING. And this, as laymen— but earneNtly solicitous for the integrity of those privileges which we inform all parties concerned in maintaining them are held on sacred trust for the highest service of the public—we say this modification cif the recommendation of the Committee the House of Commons will find it yet essential to adopt. It is with great pain that we solicit the attention of eur readers to the melancholy account we have pub. lisped of the conflagration at Quebec of the 28th of May last. By this desolating calamity no less than_ 12.000 persons are said to have become homeless, un sheltered, and destitut. ; and the 2.000 houses whicb they had previously occupied have been censurtied by , he flatnes. One hundred human beings, it is feareo, have perished in the burning ruins of their homesteads, or as the helpless, bed ridden patients of a hospital, who had been purposely removed to a dwelling in another quarter of the city, the distance of which from the area of the fire, it was vainly hoped, might protect them from its ravages. But sparks and burning fragments, wafted n that direction by a furious wind, accomplished the destruction of the dwelling, and they perished in it. The loss of property sustained has been various?), esti mated, but probably exceeds 700,000/. sterling. A disaster mire appalling, has nut often been recarded even in the annals of_ colonial fires. Much as Quebec has been of late years improved by the introduction of substantiaimasonry in the construction of Government works and of the superior class of private dwellings, it is still essentially a city of wood. The great mercantile stores established there, many of the landing piers, quays, &c., are of that material. Wooden shingle forms, for the most part, the roofing of the tene ments ; and it is, of course, one of the greatest tilmits in the world for stacked timber, the produce of the forests of Canada ; deals, battens, staves, logs, &c. All these appear to have formed fatal elements for the action of the fire, although its extinction in one quarter was happily accomplished by the sudden hurling down of these piled masses. The writer of one account which has reached as states, that at its broadest point the breadth of the densely-crowded area, over which this sudden devastation has swept, is nearly one-third of a mile. We remark that Lord METCALFE, with his cha racteristic energy, and his prompt humanity, has for warded 2,0 )01. ; the Roman Catholic Bishop, 5001., for the relief of the sufferers ; the Hotel Dieu, 5001. As Cie animosities between the hierarchies of the Roman Catholic Church and out' own Establishment, which vent themselves nearer home with so much unbecoming rancour, are happily modified in Canada by feelings of reciprocal respect and Christian charity, "our good Bishop " as he is called, does not cast ungenerous reflec tions upon, or impute unworthy motives to, his mitred brother, as a Bishop of EXETER would deal with a Bishop of WORCESTER. but frankly and assiduously emalates his example. The Protestant Bishop of QUE BEC embarks with ardour in his pastoral labour of soli citing charity for the distressed, and sets in motion the active agency of all his clergy for the same benevolent purpose. In Quebec itself about 3,000 of the inhabi tants attended at a public meeting, at which between 3.0001. and 4,0001. were sub , crihed. In Montreal a ' similar meeting was about to b • c .evened with a like object ; and we h-ve no .liitibt that thy• inhabitants of the Western will come forward generously in aid of their compatriots of the Eastern province. lii the mean time we would earnestly eranutenti the atfl,t-in, ca ,e of these Quehec sufferers to the humane consLieration of the English public. It is a case of peculiar claim upon their sympathy, and one which pres .es urgently. for im mediate relief: Threat who considr how short is the dw.-ti , ai of the. warm season in Lower Canada, how rapid tile approach, and how exoc.:.siv.ly severe the rigours of a Canadian winter, will at once appreciate the necessity for immediate exertion on behalf of the ruined victims of this calamity. Those who cannot withdraw themselves from the habit of regarding all Ca nadian questions under their political relations, and with a certain degree of political excitoirent, will feel that the sooner a social evil—adom..4ticiniiiforture—of this mag nitude is repnir• d the better it wiII he for the welf,ti e of the colony a , large. Ti , e:se are not rim, s in which, set ting out of view consideratiiins ret lameanity, auif apueal• of private misfortune, it would be expedie,nt to leave th metropolis of our mo a t iii:portanr posssziolis ii A7Deric.i weakiened by the protracted existence of utimAinteei suffering •Inte,g its population Ai se,%‘• S de f, w!in!d amount to a f! pre - sittup ti 'ii of itNtninn apathy arid • icon • 11.fiticoce which, in tiepreF,sirig ,l if t oven h. rigs of ;:,t. Lawrtitv.•,, anti ',ion, of some siring their ntighl,ouis on ito•- of the United St.tes' frontier, it is nit difficult to crtleu late, though it would be invidi us to dwell upon. Wo confidently trust that public meetings will he held in our own metropolis, and in the other groat mercantile and manufacturing capitals of the united Kingdom, to con tribute a liberal fund to the relief of our fellowecountry men in Quebec. It will be gratify ing to find, too, tht,t in an exigency of so awful a nature the Colonial Depart. ,rent here can shake off its customary indiff/rence or indolence, and vigorously employ both its Parliamentary influence and its executiv, powers to prompt and rune dial measure, for the succour and re-t:stablishment of the surviving sufferers by this calamity, and the families and representatives of those who have perished in it. If we may cr,:-clit the accounts brought by the Great Western (*tom New York, and the authority of letters published in that city, said to have been reeeivvd from Vera Cruz, the knotty question of Tex', independence would appear to be making good prigress t0 . ,..J.4, a Fer Insolent st - ttlement, The Mexican Congress are repr s,nted as having intimated their consent to a law for rc cognizing fexas as an independent State, on terms honourable to Mexico, and ativanta; - P.,eou, to both the contracting parties. This result alieg.d to be owing to th- exertions and good trian,geu.ent of toe English Minister accredited to Texas, who lost no time, after being fully in possession of the views of the Texas Government, in putting himself in communication with the authorities of Mexico, and obtaining the acquiescence of their Cabinet in the basis of su.eh a treaty as was finally negotiated. It was farther understood that the independence of Texas has the joint guarantee of Eng land and of France, on condition that she rejects all pro posals of annexation to the United States or any other Power whatsoever. The intelligence to this effect from Mexico appears to derive confirmation by letters of a previous date from Vera Cruz. If it he borne out by facts we shall con gratulate both the parties to the compact, and the United States. The only way in which the mischievous delusion of TYLER'S unprincipled " annexation" scheme was to be dissipated, was, by putting the citizens of the United States in the wrong ; for that is the only chance of inducing them to reason dispassionately on a prop.)sition too well calculated to gratify their national vanity at the expense of their characteristic shrewdness. so long as there appeared to be no disposition in other Powers to resist their designs. But Texas, by setting heiref right, as she has now done, has put the United States in the wrong. The ad vances they made to Texas to induce her to become a member of the F'deral Unhin, proceeded on the assump , ion—openly avn.wAl—thst the Government of Texas th sired ine..rporation wi;h the States ef the Union. In vindi,.ating her own indep ndence anci grity, T , xas, irate ad of being absorbed as a component ele neut into an unAitidiy federatiri6, secures her own in dividual positi,n under the auspices of the two most powerful nations of Europe. Perhaps, under the com • plicated relations which the Texas question was fast assuming, with regard both to the United States and to this eountry, no course could he suggested so well calcu lated to obviate the probabilities of hostile frontier beti. , een Mexico and the United States, and serious ill-will and heart-burnings between the United States and this country at some not remote period, as hat of which we are thus apprised, and which we trust has been adopted. Madrid journals of the 20th have been received, but they bring no news. On that day the Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and 32;" ! at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at. 21!,4 for cash, and 2178 for the 9th of August ; and the Passives at 7, at 60 days. The French Chambers have passed all the estimates for the principal departments, and the business of the session is therefore nearly concluded. The Ministers are preparing to leave Paris for the vacation, and many of the Members of the Chambers have already proceeded to the country. The Minister of the Interior will set out for Ems next week, where he will rennin for a month ; but M. GUIZOT will not leave Paris for Normandy until his return. According to the Gazette de France, passports were signed and forwarded. on Wednesday, to Don CAriLos and his consort, who will proceed without delay to Greouix, in the department of the Gard. No passport has yet been granted to the son of Don CARLOS. " New letters," says that Carlist journal, " have been received from CARRERA, dated from Bourges. Their con tents are of a nature to remove all idea of civil war, which have been attributed to him and other refugee Spaniards. The Royalists of this country expect nothing except from principles, conciliatory means, and public opinion." The Constitutionnel states that the Seine corvette is to sail shortly for Otaheite with two hundred soldiers on board. Another body, already sent out, was to supply the losses oc casioned by the combat of Mahahena. The present body is to be a supplementary force. After having left these men at Otaheite, the Seine is to proceed to relieve the Rhin, em ployed in protecting the whale fishery in Akaroa Bay, in New Zealand. It is supposed that the greater number of French subjects will quit that colony, and the Seine is autho rised to bring them home.

It is rumoured that the present Member for Ross and Cro marty is about to retire, to make way for an Hon. Baronet of his own name, with whom it is supposed that there has long been an understanding to this effect, similar to that which existed between Mr. Ramsay, the late Member for the county of Edinbnrgh, and Sir John Hope, to make way for whom Mr. Ramsay has just retired. Be this as it may, the young Ross-shire Baronet we allude to is the '• Hope" of the ultra Tories of his own county; and we b.:tlieve that they wish him to be their representative, and that he is now about publicly to announce his intention to offer himself as a candidate—either on the retirement of the present Member, or on a dissolution of Parliament. We are, therefore, happy to be able to assure the electors of this im portant county, that whenever a vacancy in their represen tation does occur, the Hon. Baronet, or any one who holds the principles he does on those great civil and ecclesiastical questions which have excited as deep an interest in Ross and Cromarty as in any of our Scotch counties, shall not be left to occupy the field unopposed ; but that a gentleman, who, it is conf►dently believed, will be most acceptable to the great majority of the county—whether electors or non eleetors—will solicit the honour of their support.

We cannot deem so lightly of it, in common with some of our Contemporaries, as to regard it as a mere question of smart practice between the So licitor appointed to act for the Sergeant-at- Arms and the Solicitor HOWARD, who is the plaintiff in the action. Neither is our interest limited to the ..onsideration whither the law laid down in this matter by the Judges of the Queen's Bench, and especially by the Lord Chief, was. as some contend it to have been, most dangerous; to the independence of Parliament, or, as others consider it, most valuable as an exposition of the rights of the people. The prospect of way colli sion between the Common Law Courts and the High Court of Parliament, at any time, and under any circumstances, is calculated to excite in every reflecting mind much uneasiness; and the v.- ry many difficulties that must attend the issue at stake are by no means to be disposed of by the ordinary rule of solution .ve apply to litigated questions in this country—" Let it be determined in the ordinary course of law "—for that course is not applicable to it. The privilege itself is an anomaly, by the very confession and argument of its advocates, overriding the law ; but no Englishman can honestly deny that the law exists, at this day, in its strength and integrity, mainly by reason of that privilege exerted in darker and more stormy periods of its existence for _its protection and support. And it may be safely affirmed that whatever objections may have attached, from time to time, to the privilege of Par liament in the abst att. that privil ge has worked practically to the signal benefit the p. ople. Were there no other considerations but these to rest it upon, upon these we would found our earnest appeal to the two parties in the House of Cemmons anti among the public, who advocate, the one the most extreme amount and exercise of the privilege, arid the other, its reduction within li'nits whi.th would neutralise its all-ctive action al, og , ther,— to dismiss all heat and passion in dealing with the subject. If they are rash and unreasonable. who would stretch the cord of privilege to the tension it had attained in the days of the Long Parliament, or of the Convention Perhaweet which enforced forfeiture of the Crown against one dynasty, and established its succession in another ; they are heithcr more reasonable nor less rash who denude the h f use of Commons of all privilege beyond that possessed by any individual subject of the QUEEN in her courts of law. The second report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to in. quire into the proceedings of the action of HOWARD V. GOSSETT, is a-document to which it is not difficult to pre dict a character of both historic and legal importance' At the present moment it suggests some refl ethic's that powerfully confirm us in the appeal we thus make to the good sense and good feeling of all parties. The Committee, in con , idering the course which, in the present stage of the proceedings, it may be most desirable for the House to pursue, admit that they have found the case to be one of great difficulty. The facts of the case it can scarcely be necessary to bring in de tail before the reader. L,t us suppose them to arise out of the service of a Speaker's warrant, and an entry upon premises in virtue of that w 'Treat, in the absence of the party against whom it had been taken He brings his action against the officer of the House, and in a court of law a verdict of damages is returned, upon which proceedings are taken and a judgment obtained. Prior to aslev under this judgment, the question arose— should the House interfere to prevent, by its own au thority, the execution of a judgment so granted by a court of law, or seek to reverse that judgment on a writ of error ? The Committee declare " that they feel it to be of the utmost importance that the Ho use should maintain the entire privi leges which ,ire essential to the discharg, of it, constitutional functions." This may sound like beg ging the question, but it does, at all events, very fairly raise it, and it is of a two-f o ld character. 1. What is this privilege of Parliament ? 2. Is it expedient to vin dicate it ? With regard to the former of these branches, it seems to us obvious that the privilege is an adjunct naturally arising out of the free exerci,e of the functions proper to a representative body of this lescripti , m. I; this were even to be disputed, the fact of preecriptien could not be. Sir EDWARD COKE says that the power and jurisdic tion or Parliament are so transcendent and absolute, that it cennot be confined, either for persons or causes, within any bounds. It haih sov, reign and meaner liable ao thority iii making and r,-p• aling laws." In the lar ge ness of this estimate they in a) find an answer to the r objections who insist that the wrath Yirlia ment claims as inherent in irselt (eight to be defined. The very first step towards sui.h a detioition would not only destroy the salutary principle on which it exists, cawely, an exclusive power in the fourt,in of the laws to •• control," as COKE has it, tteir course ace, tdirg to ilie par ticular exigeney )and of which it alone can be permitted to judge) ; but it would sufject its own action to in c2ssauc interruption and idipedimt,uts. invokal under the general authority of any specific law, or which it might stick to -modify or to repeal the enactment! , . As to the latter branch of the qitt.aion, may we not well ask, it, on the authority of COKE, this transcendent privilege is indispensable to the theory of an indepen dent Parliament, its practical necessity has been less strongly shown in a l l our experience of its working since the reign of EDWARD I. ? On how many occasions, dur• ing that interval, has Parliament exercised this privilege to protect the vassal from the rapacity of his lord? When tenures by grand and petit-sergeantry were abolished, it was argued that there could be no further necessity for the maintenance of Parliamentary privi lege. In how many subsequent cases, occurring in how many subsequent years, and down to our own times, has the same privilege been extended as a shield over the subject, to protect him from the aggressions, or the threatened violence of the Crown ? But were we to attempt to assign a tithe of the reasons that may be adduced, to show why it is expedient to vindicate the privilege of Parliament, we should be oppressed with their number. If it be a salutary aid to support the popular branch of the Constitution against the en croachments of the Throne, it is fully as important in protecting the popular branch from the too stringent pressure and irregular passion of its own constituency. Perhaps it is this very " privilege" in the Commons of a limited Monarchy which makes the popular Member of the State the very ark of the monarchical Constitution ; whilst the want of it, in pure republics. leaves their court cilsso open to external,but direct influences, so much at the mercy of the impetuous and intemperate purpeses of the democracy, as too frequently to entail the decay and ultimate ruin of the Commonwealth. On a large and general view of the subject, therefore, we are clearly of opinion that the privilege of Parliament ought to be upheld. Its abuses, particularly if you will have trien nial or shorter Parliaments, are sufficiently guarded against by the powers of reconstruction vested in the electoral body who return the Commons. Descending to particular objections. we come to ono very candidly re-stated in the Select Committee's Report. We allude KEEP THEMSELVES FOR THE PRESENT UNFLEDGED. POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY FOR THE SIX HOME COUNTIES.— This is a work entirely of a new character, and furnishes, among others, a remarkable instance of, the vast changes effected by the steam-engine. By means of steam the chs tancebetween London and the capitals of Scotland and Ire. land can be traversed in less time than was required not many years ago to travel from London to Lincoln; and, as regards time, the metropolis, and all the principal towns in the Home Counties, are as near as Hyde park was in days of yore to Whitechapel. A good Directory of these counties has, therefore, become as necessaryto the inhabitants of London as one of London itself. fhe connexion is so inti mate, and the communication so frequent, that a work of this kind has become 'necessary, and indeed almost indi.spen able, to bankers, public companies, and wholesale merchants, not to mention the tens of thousands who travel merely for pleasure and health. To all these the present publication will be found both useful and instructive. It furnishes a statistical account of every town and hamlet in the six dis tricts, entering often into minute detail s as to manu f actures and trades carried on in each. We ref.r, as a proof, to the description of Colchester, with th e vi ll ages o f L exden and Mile-end. Messrs. Kelly and Co., indeed, appear to have spared no expense or labour in getting up the work.

THE NI.F.xicAN DEBT.—The correspondence . which has taken place relative to the payment of the dividends between Messrs. John Schneider and 'Co. and s.lossrs. F. de Lizard' and Co., has excited a good deal of interest among the bond holders. It appears that rue M e ssi, , . Schneider, haying been appointed by the Government of 111,xico agents in place of Messrs Lizardi, had requested the latter, according to ttheir instructions, to deliver up the funds in their h ands remitted for the _payment of the dividends, together with the docu ments relating to the agency. Messrs. Lizardi, in reply; saY they have no documents whatever, nor have they any . other books than those relating to the t hey Version of the debt, and the payment of the divi dends which, being required for daily reference, they cannot consent to part with, and they add :—" is still a considerable balance due unto us from the Idealcal! Government, which we hope you are authorised to pay. Mr. G. R. Robinson, Chairman of the Committee of the Spanish American Bondholders, also addressed a letter tithe late agents on the same subject, insisting, in the name Committee, that as hey had declined to pay over the funds to Messrs. Schneider, they proceed at once to pay the . same to the bondholders as a p;rt of the payment of the dividend due en the Ist of October last, but this application had the There same result. "The entire the funds," theY say, "remitted? by (h e M e xican Goverment have been carried to its credit 01 :xcount and there is a con , idecable balance :till due unto us. „ El It I CAN NEW” ARRIVAL OF TkIE CAMBRIA.
