In the course of his speech he took occasion to censure with great warmth the late altera tions in the gardens of the Tuileries, and also accused Ministers of talking perpetually of their honourable and pure intentions, while perhaps those protestations were as mere verbiage as their promises of economy, peace, and legality. `. We should, in deed, gentlemen," continued he, " be tempted to believe this to be the case if it be true, as it is asserted, that a certain bur densome, or as some call it, fraudulent bargain, has been allowed to pass ; if it be also true that attempts have been made to undermine certain Parliamentary consciences by initiations into the secrets of the Stock Exchange, and by promises of lucrative places."—(lnterruptions from the centres.) Favee de Vandoeuvre—Repeat that sentence if you dare. M. Thouvenel—l spoke in a hypothetical manner. I might have assumed a perfectly opposite tone. M. de Montalivet (Minister of Public Instruction)—Name the individuals. M. Thouvenel--More than 15 Deputies present could name them. Voice from the centre—This is insulting.—(Great agitation.) M. Laboissiere (to the President)—Pray prevent these inter ruptions. M. de Rigny (Minister of the Marine)—When a Deputy makes accusations he ought to have the courage to name the parties to whom they are intended to apply. M. Thouvenel, however, said no more upon the subject, but resumed his arguments against the Civil List, which he cha racterized as adapted to augment the sufferings of the nation, and deceive it more and more as to the consequences of the re volution of July, and concluded by declaring that he should continue to oppose the Bill unless very material amendments were adopted. _ _ M. Clerc-Lasalle (although inscribed to speak in favour of the Bill) followed in the same line of argument, maintaining that he was best serving the royalty of July by basing it upon the popular interests, and adding, that the throne of Louis Philip was never so truly dignified as when it bore the epithet of citizen, and promised economy and retrenchment. He concluded by declaring that he should vote for a Civil List of 13,000,000 f. M. Jauhert observed that the rule of the Chamber which required orators to be heard. alternately in opposition to, and and in defence of, every measure, was here grossly violated by the parliamentary espieglerie of the Members of the Opposition, in inscribing themselves to speak for the Bill, and then oppos ing all its provisions. He added that if this course were per sisted in the majority would have no resource but a premature demand to close the discussion.—(Great agitation.) Salverte contended that the rule of the Chamber had not been violated, as each orator must be the best judge of whether the discourse he was about to pronounce were in favour of, or in opposition to the measure, and the President would call him to order if he required it. He defended the Opposition from the charge of employing any improper or unhandsome tactics. This little episodical discussion excited great interest, while the lamps were being lighted detached groups were formed, in which the most animated arguments were held, and the Presi dent had great difficulty in restoring silence. M. Dupont de I'Eure complained of the insufficiency of the documents furnished in the Chamber to enable it to judge of the sum actually necessary for the Civil List. He argued strongly on the necessity of economy, and stated that he could not consent to grant more than 12,000,000 fr., the whole includ ing the Crown domains, or 6,000,000 fr. independent of them. At any rate, he added, he should require accounts of the sums re ceived up to this time.—(Cheers from the left.) M. Montalivet (Minister of Public Instruction), after re marking that all the orators who had yet addressed the Chamber had spoken on one side of the question, said that he should reply to them by reminding the Chaniber that it was now called upon to lay the foundation of the dignity of the throne. A re publican Civil List was no more to be desired than republican institutions.—( Agitation.) He then quoted the example of former Civil Lists which had been granted, and reprobated those republican ideas which would now convert the King into a President, the throne into a mere arm-chair, and think the nation liberal in granting a Civil List of 1,000,000. " Those," continued the Hon. Minister, " who, like us, and the majority of this Chamber, wish to maintain the Constitutional Monarchy of July, with its Charter and its King, will give that King a fair and honourable Civil List- They would not, like Louis Philip, when, sitting at the threshold of his Palace, be sees a poor and wounded veteran stop to solicit succour, be compelled to reply, My friend, the Duke of Orleans may assist you, but the King of the bench is allowed nothing from which he can contribute to your relief.' " The Hon. Minister then con tended that the amount fixed by the Committee was insufficient; " the King," he said, " must be enabled to protect the arts and relieve the distressed; luxury, one of the cements of the pro sperity of civilized nations—(Murmurs at the extremities) — must not be driven from the habitation of the King of the French, or it will soon be banished from those of his subjects." At this word a perfect explosion of cries burst from the right and left. Messrs. Marschall, Laboissiere, Clerc Lasalle, Sans, Cabet, and other Members of the extremities, uttered violent and re iterated exclamations of—" There are no longer any subjects in France:—There have been none since the revolution of July. It is an insult to the Chamber, and to the whole nation. Re. spect the Charter :—lt is we who have made the King :—The King himself is the first subject of the law :—Order, order." M. Dupin ainc—At all events, we have a King. The President—As I do not conceive that the Hon. Member used the term in a sense at variance with the Charter, I cannot call him to order. M. de Montalivet—All depends upon the sense in which it is taken. All Frenchmen are upon an equality amongst each other—all are equal in the eye of the law. The King, however, soars above the rest of the nation—this is a great principle ac knowliAged by the Charter. In relation to him all Frenchmen are inferiors, and in this sense may be called subjects.—{" No, no, no," followed by fresh murmurs.) The President, turning towards the extreme right, said— Pray, gentlemen, be silent. You will have a right to reply. M. de Montalivet—lt was not I who made the law, it was made by the Chamber. A Member from the right—The word " subjects" is not to be found in the Charter. M. Clerc Lasalle, M. Laboiaaicre, and other Members from the extremities, again renewed their cry of " Retract, retract." Members from the centres repeated contending cries of " No, no," " Yes, yes," and the Chamber again became agitated. M. Mauguin—We are subjects to the law, but not to the will of any individual.—(Hear, hear.—The tumult increased.) Member on the right.--The word " subject" is altogether improper, and is, in fact, an anachronism. M. Marschall—We protest with all our energy against the use of the denomination "subjects." M. Thierry Poux—Go into Spain, and there you will be sub .o :ta of an absolute King. M. Cabet—There are no subjects in France • we are all citizens. Other Members exclaimed—" The word 'subject' is not in the Charter." (The disturbance continued.) Messrs. De Grammont, Voyer d'Argenson, and Comte, re newed the cry of " Retract, retract." M. de Beausejour—All the subjects remain buried under the barricades of July. M. de Montalivet—All depends upon the sense in which the word is used. (This was followed by loud cries of " Retract, retract," and " No, no.") M. de Montalivet—l will not retract, but I protest against the interpretation put upon my words. Messrs. Clerc-Lasalle and Laboissiere—Retract your words ; we are not subjects.—(The agitation became extreme.) The President--Gentlemen, it will be impossible to continue the sitting, if this tumult does not cease. M. de Montalivet attempted to go on, but was immediately interrupted by cries of " Order" from the extremities. The President—Gentlemen, you are violating the dignity of the Chamber. M. de Grammont—Do the Ministers all adopt this expression / M. Laboissiere again reiterated—" : We are no subjects." M. Lafitte-_lt is an absolute counter-revolution.—(Order, order.) . . The tumult here attained its highest pitch, and the Presi dent's bell rang unnoticed. The President of the Council—You have no right to inter rupt a Minister while he is addressing the Chamber. He has a right to be heard.—(Order, order.) The President—The tumult is created by only one part of the Chamber, and I call upon it to respect its obligations. M. Girardin—The Minister has insulted both the Chamber and the nation. The word " subject" is not in the Charter. Numerous Members from the right and left—" We protest against the use of the word." M. Clerc Lasalle—We will not listen to the Minister unless he retracts it.—(Order, order, and opposing cries of " No, no." The tumult was renewed.) The President—lt will be evident that a feeble party hi this Chamber has prevented the majority from continuing the dis cussion.—(Voices from the centres, "True, true; they will have to answer for it to their country." Voices from the right and left, " Order, order.") M. de Montalivet again attempted to renew his speech, but was interrupted by exclamations of " No subjects, let us be off:- and at the same time a great many of the Members of the right, and some from the extreme left, left the Chamber, and a degree of agitation, almost impossible to describe, succeeded. M. Clerc Lasalle, on going out, said—" We will never be subjects. Let the subjects remain."—(Murmurs from the centres.) A Member from the second section of the right—" It is an oppression—an absolute tyranny." Voices from the centres—" Go on, go on." Silence being in some degree restored by the departure of the most clamorous of the opposition, M. de Montalivet continued his address by expatiating on the benefits which might be expected to result to the nation from the manner in which Louis Philip would employ the in come ir trusted to him, in completing the Louvre and other national edifices, and taking journies into the various depart ments of France, to encourage commerce and promote trade. In conclusion, he combated the general arguments advanced by the opposition, and again called on the Chamber to support the dignity of the Crown by an adequate grant. Barthe—ln using the expression subjects of the King, there is nothing at variance with established principles. The King is the law.--(Cheers from the centres, murmurs from the extremities.) _ _ - - , M. Odillon Barrot rose, but was prevented from speaking by cries of " Order, order." M. de Tracy, 3f.

Deputy inadvertently: From all parts of the Chamber—" Silence, gentlemen, silence. Allow the Hon. Member to explain." M. Tesseyre—You wish to prevent discussion by force of a majority. M. d•Herambauldt—What! Are we not to be allowed to an swer a Minister when he speaks ? A voice from the Ministers• bench—" Yes, yes ; speak speak, answer." M. Laugier de Chartrouze—We have had enough of this scandalous discussion. A Member on the right to M. de Chartrouze—Silence, Sir; do not interrupt, . . M. Laugier de Chartrouze—You create an incessant inter. ruption by your clamours. I have a right to call for order. M. Odillon Barrot—No one can have a greater antipathy than I have to disputes upon mere words, but there are circum. stances which render words of such importance that it is impos sible for a political body to suffer them to pass without protest ing against their use. Therefore the Chamber protests— Barthe—You should not say the Chamber Iprotests—it is is you only who have protested. M. Odillon Barrot—The title of King of France was inten. tionally replaced by that of King of the French. This was not a mere arbitrary change of words, but was done because the title of King of France implied vassalage and feudality—(lnter. ruptions)—while the term King of the French can be taken only to express a high jurisdiction, having no connection with territorial rights. Neither was it without design that in the preamble to the Charter, in the place of the word's our subjects, a different phraseology was adopted, for the express purpose of excluding them. These are the authorities which the Minister ought to have cited, instead of seeking out a document, to which the framers of it themselves did not pay any attention, so far as regarded its mere formal parts.—(Murmurs from the centres.) It is not upon such a formula as this that the rights of the people are founded, but upon the Charter and the spirit in which it was framed. In order to justify the use of the term subjects, the Minister who spoke last has gone much further than the Minister who spoke yesterday ; the latter declared that the word merely meant an inferior degree in the order of the hierarchy; the former endeavoured to justify it in the same manner as might have been done by a Minister of Charles X. —(Violent interruption from the centres ; various voices cried " No.") M. Casimir Perier (with energy), we protest against such an interpretation. . M. Audry de Puyraveau—l signed the document without reading the formal conclusion. lam not, and never will be, the subject of any one.—(Loud applause from the extremities ; a voice from the centre exclaimed—" But you were so long enough.) The President then called on M. Baillot, the Reporter of the Committee of Accounts, who requested to be allowed to adjourn his report until the morrow; but as several Deputies required him to proceed, he ascended the tribune and read it ; such, how. ever, was the indescribable tumult which prevailed, that not a word even of the conclusion of the report was heard. Groups engaged in animated discussion were formed in every part of the Chamber; a warm argument took place between M. Lafitte and M. Casimir Perier, and some of the other Ministers, in which the former complained of the tyranny of the majority in preventing him from speaking ; and on M. Perier observing that he ought to submit to the decision of the Chamber, he re plied, " There is no longer any Chamber, all the regulations are violated by the tyranny of your President : such is the re sult of the intrigues for his nomination." At the extreme right several Deputies were busily engaged in preparing some written paper, which was submitted to M. Odillon Barrot, who made some hasty alterations in it. When M. Baillot's report was finished, it was ordered to be printed, and taken into cousidera oq Saturday week. The Minister of Commerce then brought in 14 Bills of pri vate and local interest.—Ordered to be printed. The discussion of the Bill for regulating the Civil List was then resumed, and after some observations on the policy and necessity of economy, was declared to be closed.—Adjourned. MR. MABERL Y. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) The failure of this prince of speculators has given rise to many absurd stories, among others that, in consequence of his connection with the Scotch Banks, his failure is likely to be followed with considerable detriment to this country, while the manufacturing establishments at Aberdeen and Montrose will not be involved in the catastrophe. Some little explanation may be satisfactory to the public ; and first, with respect to his connection with the Scotch banks. Excepting his own ex change and deposit banks, which are established in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Montrose, and Dundee, there are no bank ing establishments in Scotland that will suffer more than by holding the few stray notes which may have come into their hands simce Friday, the 30th ult., the last exchange day. How far people who may have been induced to deposit their money with Maberly, for the sake of a larger interest than was allowed by any of the other banks, are sufferers, it is impossible to say ; and also, as he was in the practice of giving drafts on London, cheques on himse{f, at the exchange of ten days while the banks charged twenty, this is another source of possible loss, but to what extent no one can know for the present. It was in consequence of some altercation with the Aberdeen banks, about the rate of exchange allowed on his London transactions, that he resolved to become banker ; but it was never believed that his profits could possibly cover the expence, and, consequently, the advantage of deposits was the inducement to carry on a losing game. The great manufac turing establishments at Aberdeen and Montrose were the first connexion Maberly had with this country. We are given to understand that they were carried on with an ability and success seldom exceeded; but from these, it seems, be had withdrawn, Mr. Stephen Moberly being proprietor of that at Aberdeen, while the Montrose manufactory is now the sole property of a y he e a ff r e d ct be in true the Mr. Leader and a Mr. Ric hards, g entlemen of large capital in London. From these c ircumstances, we have reason to hope the catastrophe will not be so severely felt in this country as its sfiurustthasipsecautointhdeurcedquuessttioun ; apprbeuht if apprehend. What we e t i i , t a m ve a respecting some transactions on the Continent, the sufferers will not b r en confined t to Britain. General Demarcay—lt is not a matter for explanation ; the word must be retracted. M. dere Lasalle—Yes, yes! You were Minister of Charles X, —(Renewed exclamations from the centres.) _ . The French Papers of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and those dated Sunday, have been re ceived. The storm which took place in the Chamber of Deputies respecting the word " subjects" will be found fully detailed in another part of The Sun, It is therefore unnecessary to enlarge upon it. here. We think that the scene reflects no honour upon the sena torial dignity of France. Indignation at the supposed insult to the national honour or liberty might be expressed otherwise, and certainly more gravely than by such tumultuary expressions and conduct as that displayed in the Chamber. We do not wonder, however, that the Opposition should be so jealously alive on the subject, especially as Louis PHILIP has lately been con ducting himself more in the spirit of CHARLES the Tenth than that of a Citizen King. M. Bgausejoui—l demand to be heard. M. Jaubert—To proclaim a republic, I suppose.—(Murmurs and cries of " Order.") M. Odillon Barrot—lf, while under the empire of the charter of 1814, I had been called upon to explain the word 'subjects,' I should have said the King is the personification of the law, and consequently we are subject and under submission to the law.—(" Hear, hear," from the extremities. Violent murmurs from the centres.) M. Perier—We are not here in the Convention, Sir, and you have no right to use such language.—(The agitation of the Chamber increased.) M. l'Herbette opposed the grant proposed by the Committee as grossly exorbitant. He was proceeding to argue against the continuance of any crown domains, properly so called, when he was interrupted by murmurs and marks of disapprobation from the centres. Cabet—Order, order. Messrs. Thouvenel and Glais.Bizoin— Allow the speaker to explain. Messrs. Junyen and Beausejour—We will never be subjects. M. Clerc Lasalle —Then, Mr. President, call the member to order. respect the rules of the The President—Silence, gen tlemen, Chamber ; respect your own dignity. M. Marschall—Call his Excellency to order. M. Cabet—" Order, order," Charles X. had subjects, but un. ler Louis. Philip we are all citizens. (The exasperation of the two extremes came to such a pitch, M. Dubois (to the President)—l entreat you to call for si. lence ; it is impossible to hear the orator who is in the tribune ; it is a member of the opposition. M. Luminais—You take care not to call for silence when it is a member of the opposition who is speaking. M. de Corcelles—Silence is only sought to be preserved for the Ministers. A Member on the right (to the President) —Pray put an end:to the interruptions proceeding from the Bench of Ministers. . . The President—l do all in my power to prevent interrup tions, let them come from where they may. M. Odillon Barrot (to the President of the Council)—We are not under the reign of the Convention, nor are we under that of Charles X.—(Hear, hear," from the extremities.) _ _ M. Casimir Perier.—Therefore attacks worthy only of the Convention ought not to be made.—(The tumult became more violent.) M. Cabet and M. Audry de Puyraveau—Call the Minister— call the President of the Council—to order. A Member from the centre—Silence, gentlemen, it is your selves who disturb the order by your clamour. The President—l beg leave to remind the Chamber that by these repeated interruptions its sacrifices its own dignity. M. Cabet—Then call the Ministers to order when they inter rupt the speaker. M. Odillon Barrot—One more observation, and I have done. We ought not to give to words a less signification than they le gitimately bear. We have remarked,—the whole nation has remarked,—that the King in all his intercourse with the people has always abstained from employing the word " subjects."— )True, true.) The King of the French has a more conscien. tious impression of the nature and origin of his authority than any one else, and we offer him therefore our most grateful homage for it.—(Applause.) It is because the expression "sub jects" appeared to be connected with an antiquated system that the Chamber has felt itself called upon to protest. M. Barthe—The Chamber has not protested. M. Perier—There are not more than twenty-five Members who have done so. M. de Saint Cricq—All the disturbance has been created by those twenty-five Members. M. Odillon Barrot—The Minister is master of his own lan guage, and has a right to persist in the use of any words he may have uttered in the Chamber ; but the Chamber is to decide upon its own proces verbal, and has a right, by expunging any word from that record, to protest against its re-production, which would tend to invade the rights of the people, and de naturalize the Charter.—((question, question.) M. Barthe— When I said that there was no power in France above the law, and declared that the King was the first subject of the law, and that his authority ought to be confounded in ' that of the law, and that in this sense he might be personified as the law, I confess I did ...Apt expect to be compared to a Mi nister of Charles X., or one of the Polignac Ministry. I repel this denomination as an insult. It shows the prejudices of cer tain persons.—(Cheers.) Negative signs being made by M. Dupont de l'Eure, M. Casi mir Perier said, " Yes, Sir, it is perfectly true." H. Barthe continued—l have been heard upon every occasion to declare that the law alone should bear sway, and that there the common g l was no authority above it. I def y the Opposition to sho w a single violation of the law, either in my words or actio ns. H ave you not seen me firmly protest a g ains t the ado p tion of recom mendationsn of passing la s of M. Odillon Barrot--Who has recommended laws of excep tion ? ofo teppeople exception, which would be vio lations M. Barthe—l repeat that in France there is no authority be yond the law : the King himself obeys it, but in return he is entitled to fidelity and affection. —(Very general cheers.) M. Lameth ascended the tribune amidst loud cries of " Ques tion, question," but declared that, being always willing to The alleged plot seems now to be treated as a hoax got up either by the Carlists or the Police. The idea of eight men going up to ring the tocsin at Notre Dame, in order to originate a plot, is absurd. The angry debates in the Chamber have had the effect of depressing the funds, which closed on Saturday at 651. 60c., having fallen one per cent. that day.

The failure of the great banker and loan-jobber, Moberly, has created a strong sensation both here and in those other places in which he did business ; but, in this city, though indi viduals may, perhaps, suffer severely, the consequences will not be generally felt. We suspect this failure will produce impor tant effects upon the baneful system of loanmongering,--a sys tem, the most hostile to human freedom and happiness, of any of modern invention ; inasmuch, as, by supplying bad Govern ments with those means without which they could not have exe cuted their projects, it has been the main support of despotism for the last forty years, and entailed on the present generation, and their posterity, burdens the most wicked, ruinous, and in tolerable. Doubts as to the inexhaustibility of those resources from which the loanmongering system was supplied, are now apt to be engendered, and to embarrass the future operations of jobbers and needy Governments ; and such a result is at this juncture calculated to operate most powerfully on the troubled politics of Europe. For example, Belgium wi.s negotiating with Mr. Moberly for a loan, at the moment of his failure; and, as this negotiation will now probably be broken on; and Bel gium left to seek out another merchant, who knows what effect this may produce on the relations between that country and Holland ? We understand that the amount of loss sustained in this quarter by the failure, will be about twenty thousand poun ds ; but, as remarked above, this will chiefly fall upon indi viduals, and make no impression on general trade. The President--I do all I can to keep silence. If it be not preserved, the President is not to be blamed for it. M. l'Herbette then continued his discourse, reiterating the same arguments as had already been urged against a heavy civil list.—Adjourned. 'We have received Hamburg, Prussian, and German Papers this morning. The most im portant matter in them is the fact that the Em- L)e is ro o r bn o o f .

Originally it was ordered to be put in force from the date of its promulgation ; but this being found to be attended with very great oppression to parties having goods in bond, the time is extended. The cholera had totally disappeared at Berlin on the 31st Dec., am] re appeared on New Year's day : THE HAGUE, JAN. s.—ln the sittirp , of the second Chamber yesterday, the debate on the project of law for providing the ways and means to meet the extraordinary expenditure of the State f or t h e year ISV was adopted by a majority of 34 to 15, and :lent to the first Chamber. (From the Scots Trines. —Glasgow.) If the political world is somewhat gloomy, we regret to say that the commercial is not less so. The great house of Maberly and Co. has most unexpectedly suspended its pay ments, and so great was the effect of this announcement in London, that even the funds felt the shock. Our readers aro doublers aware that Mr. Maherly is Member for Abingdon—a great loan contractor—a banker in London, Glasgow, and other towns, and proprietor of various manufacturing establishments at Aberdeen and Montrose. Of course the failure is to an im mense extent, and will be productive of many serious commercial embarrassments throughout the country. Fortunately for Glasgow, the banking establishment of that city has not of late done business to a great amount. Of course the injury to trade there will not be to any serious extent. The river before Dordrecht is full of floating ice. His Royal Highness the Pri nce of Orange, returning from the Hague t o t h e headsquarters at Bois-lc-Ditc, had some difficulty i n p ass i ng the river on account of the ice.

Voluntary Loans, 89% to 89‘,4 HAMBURG, JAN. 2,—Letters troiii St.Petersburgh, bring the important news, that the order for levying a duty of 121 per cent. has been revoked by the Government, by which great embarrassments in trade are prevented. However, on all goads to be imported after the let (13th) January 1832, the increased duties, with the addition of 12A per cent., are to be levied, and it is probable that the duties on some articles may be farther increased. The navigation on the Upper and Lower Elbe is now interrupted by the great accumulation of floating ice. Floating ice has also appeared at Cuxhaven, so that it ham been necessary to remove the buoys in the Elbe as far as the Bosch. If the frest continues, the Bernhard and Accounts from Brussels state that the rg organization of the army was proceeding wit' great spirit—a fact that seems to indicate tii, degree of faith placed by LEOPOLD in the CO" tinuance of peace. The course which the Council of the Nadal Political Union appears resolved to follow in # gard to the diffusion of knowledge, is such if persevered in, will not only secure the re utility, but the permanent stability of the ins tution under their charge. The Council, conceit ing its first duty to be to supply sound politid information, and to impress the minds of t 1 people with right principles of morals Government, has taken steps to establish a red ing•room for the members of the Union, any not only to stock it with standard works, but publish elementary treatises to convey to tl people that kind of knowledge which they st the most in want of. As a matter of the first necessity to the objet they nave in view, the National Political Unid will petition, without loss of time, against th noxious taxes on paper and Journals. The, will also protest, in distinct petitions, against th Advertisement duty, and the Foreign Book dull. Both of these rank under the denomination ( J taxes on knowledge just as much as the other and we are surprised that so shrewd a man as 14 PLACE, should not see that the repeal of Advertisement duty ought to be required, precisely the same ground as that of the Ned' paper Stamp duty. The fact is, that Advil , tisements are as regular and proper a source profit to a Journal as the sale of the Pape and whatever impedes the success of a Neil l paper, as a mercantile speculation, impedes, 1 a matter of course, the diffusion of knowlede It is not to be supposed that proprietors Newspapers, more than others, will inform 1,11 public at a loss to themselves ; but they must, . 1 course, charge the p u bli c a remunerat i ng p rig for their Papers. It is plain then, that a do( impeding advertisements tends to , keep up th price of Newspapers, and that the surest ds to cheapen Newspapers, and in fact to reduce the cost to a sum almost nominal, will be to relief them from taxes ofevery kind—on paper, stampl and advertisements. Those who deny tll l utility of Newspapers are consistent in . 1 . 11 deavouring to keep them taxed ; but such 0 . profess to see th e ma tt er i n the tru e p o int 4 view, contradict their own principles when the doubt whether the Advertisement duty is a t$ upon knowledge. So with regard to the Foretg Book duty ; the reason for repealing it is pf cisely the same . as touches the Newspaper swill duty, viz.—that the good to be derived froo the diffusion of information is much great than can be attained by the augmentation tht revenue may d e riv e f rom the existence of taxes in question. A Government can only be said to be real' , good and wise, when it comprehends the relatiO importance to the nation of the different thins and questions which affect its political condition ' It is no proof o f p o li t i ca l sagac i ty to d ea l w it' every question affecting the revenue as a simlA financial question, and to leave out of view tho# higher considerations which must ever have til l most weight with we ll- cu l t i vate d minds. have cannot reflect, without mortification, upon th i want of zeal which the present Government liF displayed for the advancement of knowledge, because we had a r i g ht t o ex p ec t f rom it b e at , ' things. Mr. HUME and his associates see ail matter in the true light, and if their plans (sortie ; what modified) succeed, will do the country real and lasting service. They will, perhaps, the way, teach the Society for the Diffusion 4 Useful Knowledge a lesson, that may suggest that body how little it resembles what the publtli. hoped it would have become.

At one o'clock, the hour appointed for the commencement of business, the Chamber presented the unusual appearance of a full attendance of Deputies. On the proces-verbal of the last sitting being read, M. de Tracy alluded to the word " subjects," employed by the Minister of Public Instruction, and said, that as, since the revolution of July, that word had disappeared from all public acts, and no precedent existing for its being used, it had very properly been received with murmurs by the majority of the Chamber.--(Cries of " Yes, yes," from the extremities and of " No, no, speak for yourself," from the centres.) The Iron. Deputy proceeded to state that the explanation of the word given by the Minister was not satisfactory to the majority of the Chamber.—;Similar cries of " Yes, yes," and " No, no.") But that the silence of the proses -verbal on the subject might lead to a supposition that the Chamber had, after the explanations of the Minister, adopted the qualification of " subjects," which recalled the servile obedience of the times of the empire and the restoration. This, he said, was very far from being the case, (From the Glasgow Herald.) The failure of Mr. Maberly's bank has occasioned much alarm in the London mercantile community. It was announced here yesterday forenoon that the branch settled in Glasgow had ed payment, and the London mail in the evening con_ h account. It is not understood th a t an y l o ss of mo ment rfierraufsci t will be sustained here, as the notes did not circulate f re ely, and scarcely any business was done by this branch. We sincerely hope that the manufacturing company in the north, of which Mr. Maberly is the head, may continue solvent, as its Vincent galliots, and the Quarantine fo Looney, will firced to return io Cuxhaven.
