(No. 12,439.) (PRICE ID.) Lord ALTHORP slid the question was certainly one of some difficulty. The period given to decide whether the holders of 4 per cents would take in lieu thereof 3A per cents extended till the month of April in the year 1831. Now the parties to whom V e Right Honourable Gentleman referred, resided in the East Indies, and it was necessary to give the interest on the money which they held in the Stocks up to the time when their option was declared. This view of the case had been adopted after the maturest consideration, and after the opinion bad been taken of the Law Officers of the Crown.

Various, but still very imperfect, efforts having been made by the first practical Chemists to combine the peculiarly mild and unstimulating Tonic and Chalyheate properties of these long-established and unrivalled Waters, with the ,perient qualities for which they are so universally taken In th e co re of Bilious Disorders and Atony of the Stomach, Ilfessre. Perrins, Lea, and Perrins have the satisfaction of announcin g to Medical Practitioners and the Public in general, that they have effected this much-desired combina tion, in a manner decidedly and absolutely new and perfect. The Tonic Laxative Cheltenham Effervescing Salts, uniting the strengthening anti-dyspeptic properties of the Waters with the deobstruent and aperient effects of the original Springs, while at the same time the free disen gagement of Carbonic Acid Gas (fixed Air) is produced d d uring their solution in a m anner f ully equal, if not supe rior, to other preparations before the public, but which contai n no Tonic quality, so essential in Saline Prepara tions for general use, are now prepared by Messrs. Per rin,' Lea, and Perrins, who, having the sanction of the first medical opinions of the beneficial effects of this pre paration, can confidently recommend the Tonic Aperient Salts as a substitute for the Waters, in all cases where De. bility of the Digestive Org a ns exists, and also in cases Where the ordinary Saline Aperients produce Langour of th e System. Voyagers and Inhabitants of Warns Climates will find tSe Tonic Effervescing Laxative Salts of invaluable benefit and importance; they improv e the Appetite and Digestion, r ernov e Biliary Accumulation, and may be taken daily for any length of time with undiminished good effect.

First,—Tliat BETTS'S " PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY" is the only known pure Spirit in the World ! Secondly,—That while it possesses all the valuable pro perties which characterise the finest Cognac Brandy, it is free from those acids which that spirit is known to contain, and which are now so desirable to he avoided Thirdly,—That unlike other Spirits, the Patent Brandy will not produce nausea or headache; but, on the con trary, from its essential purity will be found congenial to the most delicate constitution, and an invaluable sub- stitute to persons of bilious and anti•di;estive habits. Fourthly,—That as an ordinary beverage, diluted in the proportion of six to one, (as recommended by the first Physicians), it is beyond all calculation preferable to malt and other fermentable liquors, while its moderate price brings it within the reach of nearly every class of consumers. Fifthly,—That all the faculty who are acquainted with the transcendant merits of the Patent Brandy, recommend it in preference to French Brandy for medicinal purposes. Sixthly,—That it has been analyzed by a great number of the most celebrated Chemists, whose opinions are una nimous as to its decided superiority, and from whose certificates the two following extracts are made : _ . From JOHN THOMAS COOPER, Esq., Lecturer on Che- mistry at the Medical School in Aldersgate-street— " Your Brandy is free from uncombined arid and as " tringent matter, which exists more or less in m ost of the Brandies imported from France." " To Mr. Bette. " From JOSEPH HUMP, Esp, of Long Acre , Chemist to . _ his Majesty— " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, " that for purity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed, and " that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those ` acid s w hi c h , though minute in quantity, always conta e urinate the Foreign Spirit."

HENRY DESBOROUGH, Secretary. Cheapside, London, July 23, 1832. We are glad to see that the House of Com mons last night sanctioned a grant of 15,0001. towards building a National Gallery. It is really a disgrace to the country that a little, dark, dirty house should be the repo sitory of tho magnificent pictures which even now form the national collection--a collection which we have no doubt will be increased tenfold by private donations, as soon as a fitting receptacle is prepared. At present, for want of proper apartments, the pictures, notwithstanding the great care taken of them, are perishing from dirt. It would drive RAPHAEL and REMJSKANDT mad, were they alive, to see the condition of their greatest productions. — Times. A NOVEL POLITICAL PROJECT.—A pub lic meeting was lately held in the village of Motherwell, Scotland, at which it was resolved that all persons in pos session of houses ought to have a voice in the election of representatives, whether such houses were worth 101. or not. In order to effect this object all the householders in the parish (Dabzell) are to be summoned to attend a meeting, at which the whole of them are to have the liberty of nominating whom they please as a representative ; the 101. householders, and other qualified voters, will then, according to the resolutions before alluded to, pledge them selves to support whatever candidate may have a majority of votes.

The assizes for the county of Wilts commenced yesterday. Mr. Justice TAUNTON arrived in this city about five o'clock, and proceeded to the Rill, where he opened the Commission. Mr. Justice PATTESON remained at Winchester with his family, but I am happy to say Miss Patteson was yester day so mach better that Lady Patteson sa! on the bench during great part of the day.. This morning Mr. Justice TAUNTON attended divine service at the Cathedral. The serroon was - preached by the Sheriff's chaplain, the Rev. M.. Fowle, and his d►s course, a very silly one, was chiefly directed against the Press. It is rumoured thaVin the course of next month an encampment will be formed in one of the P erks, for the purpose of his MAJESTY'S presenting a standard to the Blues, and also with the view of affording the troops a little recreation. It is expected that the encampment will continue for three or four days. Mr. GOODWIN, the Warder of Sheerness Dock-yard, died of the cholera, after a few hours' illness, last week. He was followed in less than twenty hours by his wife, of the same disease. They were interred in the same grave. ILFRACOMBE,—The Dove, which sailed from this port a few weeks since, with emigrants for America, was brought-to by a pirate who hoisted French colours, but spoke in English. The pirate demanded medicine, coals, and other articles, which the Commander (Captain HUXTABLI) refused to comply with, and drew his men up on the quarter-deck to present an attitude. The robber did not much relish their appearance, but fired a gun, which was promptly returned, and he sheered off, as he appeared apprehensive.-- Western Times. A party of Custom-house officers, accompanied by the Commissary of Police of the Faubourg St. Antoine, having gained information that a band of smugglers were lodged in a house in the Rue Menilmontant, a few days since went to make a search, and found a subterranean passage upwards of 100 yards long and more than half-a yard wide, cut 30 feet through a solid rock, and commu nicating with a field beyond the walls of the town, by which they introduced contraband goods into the city.— Galignani's Messenger. The collectors of assessed taxes and poor.rates bad a glorious time last week. In many places they sat up until twelve o'clock on Friday night, for the purpose of receiving the money, and thus qualifying the electors to vote. The taxes and rates paid at Manchester in the course of the week are said to exceed 10,0001. The num ber of voters in the township of Manchester, it is calcu lated, will be about 6,000, and in the whole borough 8,500. In the borough of Salford the number will, pro bably, not exceed 1,500. . _ lii the parish of Lauteglos, by Fowey, the following singular notice is ptinte I on a board affixed over the porch :—" Ten Pounds Reward, to be paid annually to any woman of this parish who minds her own business and interferes with no one else."—Fahnouth Packet.

Should the grouse escape those diseases that attack them occasionally and carry them off in great numbers, we may calculate on ex cellent sport. From their having met with no interrup tion during the season of incubation, the birds promise to be in fine condition by the 12th of August, and to have fewer cheepers amongst them than has been the case for some years. It is a remarkable fact, that notwithstand ing this abundance of birds, there has been more muir burning this season than there has been for a good num her of years back ; a circumstance well deserving the con sideration of both proprietor and tenant, as it has been more than suspected that plenty of hether will not always secure plenty of birds ; but, on the contrary, that a regu lar rotation of muir-burning is as b ••neficial to the birds as it is to the sheep.—Perth Courier. In a parish in the vicinity of Exeter, where the Clergyman claims the pasturage of the churchyard, and, in consequence, frequently stocks it with sheep, &c., the Churchwarden called his attention to a very luxuriant growth of weeds, and which, as the Rev. Gentleman claimed the produce of the yard, he, the Churchwarden, thought it incumbent on the Clergyman to remove. The latter, however, replied that " he only claimed the grass, the weed belonged to the parish '"—Western Times. THE AFRICAN EXPEDITION.—The vessels comprising the expedition to Africa are still detained in our river by contrary winds. The crews and passengers are on board, and ready to start on the first favourable op portunity ; and in order to obviate the risk of carrying the cholera to Africa, the vessels are to remain at Milford for a week or ten days, to ascertain that the infection is not on board.— Liverpool Courier. Our climate has been again displaying one of its strange and unaccountable vagaries. After the intense, and almost unbearable hear of the early port of last week, the temperature changed towards the end to comparatively severe cold; so much so that on Saturday the thermometer had fallen from SO to 50 degrees, and people of both sexes were seen wrapped in cloaks and great coats. ... . • DEAF AND D UMB MARRlAGE.—Yesterday morning, at the old Church, Paddington, by the Rev. Mr. GIFFORD, SILUS WILMERTOS was married to ELIZA VESEY, both of them being deaf and dumb, having been born so. At first some hesitation was felt as to the man r er in which the ceremony could be proceeded with ; but the difficulty was at last obviated by each party copying in their own hand-writing the respective answers they would be requited to make, and the questions were then traced out to th e m lin e by line, by the m inist e r, to wh o m, after reading them, and signifying their assent by a motion of the head and hand, they delivered the appropriate written answer. The other portions of the c e rem on y w ere gone through in a similar manner. The bride and bride groom were both apparently about 22 or 23 years of ag e , the former possessi n g considerable person a l attracti ons , and both of them see m e d t o fully compr e h en d th e na t ure of the solemn obli gat i on th e y were en t er i ng i nto .

SWALLOW F ISHING .—A f ew d ays ago , an angler, whil e p ursu i ng hi s f avour i te sport on the Bony, near Castlec arey , was not a l i ttle d i sappo i nted to find his flies less pr ovo ki ng t h an usual. At length, however, he reached a p ar t o f t h e stream, wh i ch, although somewhat incommoded f rom trees, h e conce i ved to b e more favour able from th e s h ade, and accord i ngly began to sk i m h i s flies along th e water w i th the most sangu i ne hopes of suc cess, but had not procee d e d long w h en h e f oun d t h em h e ld behind, and tu rn i ng round, suppos i ng t h em to b e entang l e d in the i branches o f one o f t h e trees , was muc h sur p r i se d to find he hail caught a swa ll o w. He carried home his cap tive, which, a f ter b e i ng kept i n d urance f or a b ou t t iro hours, was allowed to escape, when it instantly directed its flight to the very spot where it was taken.—Stirling Advertiser. The funeral of Mr. WILKINSON, the un fortunate gentleman who was murdered on the River last Tuesday, took place on Sunday. His remains were re moved at one o'clock from his residence in Jewin-street, Cripplegate, followed by his two brothers, Mr. TUCKER, an attorney, his brother-in-law, and nine other relatives, as mourners, to Cripplegate church, where the service for the dead was read in an impressive manner by the Curate ; and - the coffin, containing the corpse, was afterwards in terred in the burial-ground adjoining, where a considerable crowd bad collected, who preserved the most respectful silence throughout the mournful ceremony. Messrs. Mrrcuitia. and ISaESTER, surveyors of Thames Police, who apprehended the parties charged with the murder, walked in front of the funeral procession, carrying their staves hung with bl ac k c rape. Mr. WILKINSON was a very promisi ng young man, an d h a d no t attained his 25th year. He was th e p r i nc ipal support of a widowed mother, Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the North-wester Metropolitan Union praying for a full and complete inquiry into the case of private Somerville. The Hon. Member said there was now a Star Chamber inquiry at Weedon Barracks, to which the public were not admitted, and where the unfortunate man was to be a witness, under the terror of the lash again, in case he gave such evidence as be could do if he were at liberty. He was sorry the Hon. Member for Middlesex bad withdrawn his motion for a proper inquiry upon this case, for it was highly im portant that the ensuing inquiry should be ample and publ c. Mr. HUME said he only withdrew his motion upon the assurance of the Right Hon. Member for Westmin seer (Sir J. C. Hobhouse), that every opportunity should be given for a full inquiry. E the case should turn out otherwise, be would he ready to bring forward his mo tion for a more effectual inquiry. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said it would be time enough, for the Hon. Member (Mr. Hunt) to make such obberva. tiona when the result of the inquiry proved it to have been ineffectual. The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. HUNT then presented a petition from a public meeting of the working classes he'd on Kennington Com mon on the 9th of July, praying for the abolition of the punishment of fl .ig:!ing in the army and navy. Sir J. BRIDGES was persuaded, from what he had seen while he was in the,army, that corporal punishment was highly injurious to the army, and if he should be in the House in a future Parliament when it was proposed to abolish ir, he would cordial y support the proposition. Colonel EVANS supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from certain smug glers confined in Bodmin gsoJ, praying for an act of grace. The Hon. Member hoped that some other mode of punishing smugglers would be adopted than that of confining them for a length of time in prison, where they were a great burden on the county and parish rates—they being maintained at the expense of the county, and their families supported by the parish. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. LITTLETON on reference to the petition found it was addressed to " Henry Hunt, Esq." and not to the House.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. HUNT said he bad not discovered that before, and begged to withdraw the petition. Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented six petitions in favour of Reform and Education in Ireland, and also against the Tithe System. The ilort. MEMBER also presented a petition from a person of the name of Banks, praying that a more equita ble system might be adopted in levying the land tax. Also a petition from Mr. John Stephen, jun., com plaining of the conduct of General Darling, the Gover nor of New South Wales, in causing him to be dismissed from his office. Lord HOWICK observed, that he should not enter fur ther on the subject at present than to say, Mr. Stephen had been dismissed from his office for conduct which, in the opinion of the executive Government, had rendered him totally unfit to bold a situation tinder the Crown. Mr. Stephen was suspected of being privy to the escape of a female convict, and was called upon to answer some in terrogatories before tie Council upon the subject, which he refused to do. Under these circumstances, General Darling had no other course to pursue than to suspend him. Mr. Stephen then came home and represented his case to the Colonial Office, but as they bad a great mass of contradictory evidence before them they could not do otherwise than send the case back to be investigated by the Council. This was the course taken by Sir George Murray, and he (Lord Howick) did not see that any other course could have been take❑ under all the circumstances. Mr. H. BULWER considered that as there was such a vast difference in the statements made by the Noble Lord and the petitioner, no better course could be pursued than to have a full inquiry. Mr. HUME said that, being mixed up in the affairs of General Darling, he had taken the trouble to write to several persons who were resident in the colony at the time the transactit , n complained of took place ; for he was anxious to know what charac ter the petitioner bore, both in his official and pri vate capacity. He was not aware that the petition was to be presented at that time, or he would have brought down the answers he had received. However, by them he found that Mr. Stephen stood high both as a private gentleman, and in his capacity as a Ma gistrate and Register of the Supreme Court. He would ask whether it were to be allowed, that a governor was to have power to send police-officers into a man's house, and that man a magistrate, to ransack the whole of his paper , , and look into his most private affairs, without his ever having bi en summoned before any court, or being called upon to explain any thing on the subject of which he was suspected to be guilty. The Honourable Member then read certificates of good character, signed by all the Judges of the Court in the Colony, and by the Attorney general, in favour of the petitioner. Unless Government were prepared to support the most arbitrary conduct on the part of the Go vernors, it was impossible to let this case pass without in. quiry. By so doing, Government would in effect say to the people of the colony, you must not offend General Darling ; he is lord and master, and may act as he pleases. You may bring your complaints to England, but there all that you will get will be, that you be referred back to the man who has already injured you. He would say no more at present on the subject, as he in tended next week to bring forward a motion on the con duet of General D 'fling generally. . . . Mr. DIXON was at a loss to know whether the con duct of General Darling, or the opinions broached by the Noble Lord, were the most illegal. He would tell the Noble Lord that the case was begun illegally, for neither in New South Wales, nor in England, could a warrant be executed legally at the dead of night, as that was. Mr. HUNT considered it an act of the grossest injustice that the petitioner should be told to go back to the co lony, in order to clear himself from the charges, when it was well known that he could benefit nothing by it, his office having been abolished. Sir C. FORBES said, it would be much better if his Majesty's Government would select fewer military men to fill the office of Governors. A civilian had been appointed to the Governorship of Ceylon, and he hoped that example had been followed. He knew Mr. Stephen, and he considered him quite incapable of the conduct imputed to him. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME gave notice, that, on the 2d of August, he would move an Address to his Majesty to institute an in quiry into ti , e conduct of General Darling. Mr. STANLEY presented the following petitions i❑ favour of the Government system of education in Ireland from the Protestant Dissenters of South Shields; from the township of Manchester, in the county of Lancashire ; frotn a Political Union in Cropper-street, Manchester; from the inhabitants of St. Nicholas and St. Luke, Dub lin ; from Edinburgh ; from Dum"ries ; from toe minister and elders of a congregation at Cupar ; from the Presby wry of Belfast, in connection with the Session Church ; from the Southern Presbytery of Dublin; and from the minister and elders of the Presbyterian Synod of Ulster. Captain GORDON was surprised to find it stated in one of the number of these petitions, that all the other systems of education in Ireland had failed. The Kildare-street Society, so far from having failed, had amounted from only one school to a number at which 137,600 scholars attended. If there had been any failure it was from a limitation of funds, but the whole of them prospered to the full extent of their means. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petitions. . . After a few observations from Mr. D. JOHNSTON and Mr. BULWER, the petitions were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. EWART presented two petitions from certain Presbyterian Disenters in Liverpool, in favour of the na tional system of education in Ireland. Mr. GOULBIJRN was anxious to embrace that oppor tunity of askiug a question of the Noble Lord opposite. It appeared that, in the finance accounts of the year end ing January, 1832, there had been charged out of the Consolidated Fund, a considerable sum , which had been paid to the holders of the 4 per Cent. Annuities. The interest amounted to not less than 200,0001. These 4 per Cent Annuities were created on the reduction of the Five per Cents. ; and Parliiment, in 1830, determining tl nay off the Four per Cents., offered to the parties who held them to take SI per cent., when it was dis tinctly engaged that no interest should be payable Mr. GOULBURN expressed his opinion that the Go vernment had acted on an erroneous view of tht! Act of Parliament. When he was in office application was made to him to do the same thing which the Noble Lord bad consented to do, but he refused. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that setting aside all considerations of policy, the parties were entitled, by the fair construction of the Act of Parliament, to receive 'our per cent. Sir R. PEEL wished the minute of the Treasury which authorized the payment of the money, and the opi nion of the Law Officers, to be laid upon the table. Lord ALTHORP would consider whether the opinion of the Law Officers could with propriety be produced. Mr. HUME hoped that the No , le Lord would see nu reason to object to the production of the opinion. THE BUDGET. Colonel SIBTHORPE asked when it was probable ,hat the Budg.t woul I be brought forward? Lord ALTHORP would rn:lie a financial statement on Friday, on moving that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Meaty,. LOAN TO GREECE. On the question that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. ROBINSON took that opportunity of pr testing against the course which Government had pursued with respect to the Russian Dutch Loan and the proposed loan to Greece. Lord AL fHORP was understood to defend the policy of Government. Sir R. PEEL expressed a hope that this country would not guarantee more than one-third of the loan to Greece. Lord ALTHORP said that we would guarantee only a third. Mr. HUME hoped that Ministers would lay some evi dence before the House, to prove that the wishes of the people of Greece had b,-en consulted with respect to ac form of their Government. The Home then resolved itself into a COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. Mr. S. RICE moved that a sum of 15,0001. be granted towards defraying the expense of erecting a nationaJ Picture-gallery and Record-office. Sir R. PEEL expressed his cordial acquiescence itt this vote. Sir M. W. RIDLEY was persuaded that this vote would receive the cheerful sanction of the public. Lie would beg to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Admiralty, on a subject respecting which he had made some observations on a former occasion ; Le meant the obelisk called Cleopatra's Needle. He had learned that this obelisk was new in such a dilapidated state, that if conveyed to this country, it would disappoint. the expectations of the public ; but he had likewise learned that there was a beautiful monument of the same kind at. Carnac, which had been placed at our disposal, and he ~ ished to ascertain what were the intentions of Govern ment with regard to their removal ? Lord ALTHORP said, that Cleopatra's Needle tvu certainly an object of great curiosity, but from inquiries put to persons who had lately seen it, he believed that at was not in a state sufficiently perfect to justify any consi derable expenditure on its removal. Inquiry on the sub j,7ct was, I:owever, going on. Mr. HUME was of opinion, that instead of depositing portion of the public records in the contemplated build ing, it would be much better to have all the records of the country secured in one place. He would suggest the propriety of transferring the Royal Society to the rooms i..tended for the Record -office. With respect to the Royal Academy, lie was afraid that its arrangements were not of a character corresponding with what might he anticipated from a national institution. He, therefore, hoped that Government would take its bye-laws into consideration, with a view to see whether they were such as afforded the :;reatest possible advantage to art and artists. He was satisfied that great advantage would be derived from ,nalsio g the Royal Academy as generally useful as they could. Colonel SIBTHORPE hoped they should hear no more f spending the public money on such nonsense as Cleopa ti a's Needle. He considered the mercenary mode in ,ehich admission was obtained to Westminster Abbey and other public edifices in the metropolis as highly disgraceful. Sir R. H. INGLIS complained of the present neglected sitate of Westminster Hall. With respect to the Royal Academy, the rules of which had been adverted to by the lion. Member for Middlesex, he thought it well entitled to the favourable consideration of the House. Mr. S. RICE said the Government had taken the rreatest care that the estimate should rather exceed than fill below the expense of the proposed building, and the lion. Member for Middlesex might rest assured that no Alterations should take place in the plan without its coming under the cognizance of the Treasury. After some observations from Mr. Warburton, Mr. Dundas, Mr. Robinson, Mr. S. Rice, and Mr. Pelham, Mr. W. BANKES, with respect to the Egyptian obe lisks, must protest against the removal of the obelisk from Carretc, as it could not be effected without great injury to one of the most splendid temples of antiquity. It seemed to him preposterous to think of ornamenting Charing cross with the majestic monuments of Sesostris. After a few words hem Mr. HUNT, the vote was agreed to. The next vote was the sum of 4,973/. 45., for the charge of the civil establishment of the Bahamas. Afrer a few words from Mr. ROBINSON, Lord Howler:, and Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. HUME objected to the large salaries given to go vernors of some of the small colonies, at a time when the colonists themselves were complaining of great distress. Ile hoped that the colonies would, as far as was practica ble, be made to bear the expenses of their own civil esta blishments. Mr. HUNT thought the salary of the Governor of the Bahamas too high ; and moved, as an am-n linent, that the whole vote he reduced by the sum of 6351. Sir C. WETHERELL asked, could any man, who on former evening heard the Hon. Member for Middle•ex vote that black was white, in assenting to take three mil lions from the pockets of the people, in order that Al nis t rs might keep their places,—could, he repeated, any man now hear, without contempt and scorn, the Hon. Nlember's miserable, dirty, petty, farthing-cavilling about the salaries of men who were devoting their time, and wasting their health, in distant, and often unhealthy, colonies, in the public service, and who were at expenses which required very frequently what their salaries did not cover ? Such a course as that pursued by the Hon. Mem ber for Middlesex on the occasion alluded to, when con trasted with his objection on the present, could only ex cite the scorn and contempt of the House. How durst the lion. Member insult the House by talkine of miserable paltry savings of the salaries of officers abroad, as necee •ary to economy, after such a vote of millions as he con sented to the other evening, when, according to his own avowal, he was voting that black was white?—(Hear.) Mr. HUME said, that if such observations as those of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had fallen from any other Hon. Member, it might excite some surprise, but coming from him, he was neithi-r surprised nor affected by them. Before the Learned Gentleman found fault with him, however, he taught to have stated the truth, as to his (Mr. Hume's) vote the other evening. It was not a question of economy which was then before the House. It was a scheme, under a mere show of pretence of eco nomy, to get such a vote against Ministers as might in duce them to resign their places, but, having been de leated in that scheme, the Learned Gentleman and those with whom he acted were sore under their disappoint ment.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial side.) He would tell the Learned Gentleman that he would dare to do anything in that House which he conceived to be his duty. If there was any man who insulted the House by t..e course he sometimes pursued, it was the Learned Gen t -man himself, for if any man made himself ab•urd and idiculous in it by his language and manner it was be. Toe Learned Gentleman had on this, as on other oeca .,i ,ns, ventured to talk upon matters about which l►e knew nothing. He had, he supposed, only just come in t,' the House, and ventured to comment on what had 1,1!,n from him (Mr. Hume) without having heard Lim. Now the objection be made was not to the casts of particu .ar individuals. Wbat he had alluded to was the h 8 11 tO,
