HOUSE OF LORDS, FERZUARY 6. In consequence of the absence of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack at Fire o'clock. Lord GEORGE CAVENDISM, and others from the Com mons, brought up a Private Bill, which was read a first time. Mr. Tomlins, from the Treasury, presented returns of the imports and exports in the trade to India. Mr. Spicer, from the Chelsea Hospital, presented papers relative to the unclaimed prize -money. The Emliezz'ement Bill was read a third time and passed. The Courts of Session (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to he committed to-morrow. Lord AUCKLAND was requested by the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Treasury to state, that he was detained fi oni attending the House to-night by duties of a high cad important nature. He hoped that it would cause no inconvenience to the House. He would be in his place to answer any questions to-morrow. The Earl of ABERDEEN had intended to ask some questions respecting the Belgian treaty, but in consequence of the Noble Earl not being present be would defer them till to-morrow. Viiieouut STRANGFORD had a petition to pre‘ent i but he would reserve it till some of his Majesty'sMinistere were present.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 6. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the Liver pool cattle sale+men, praying to be incorporated. Lord SANDON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to extend and enlarge the powers of the Manchester and Liver- pool Railway Act, and for enabling the Company to make a branch railway. Mr. BURTON presented a petition from the hankers, merchants, &c., of the town and neighbourhood of Be verley, against the General Registry Bill. Mr. HANDLEY presented a similar petition from the freeholders, &c., of Newark-upon-Trent. Mr. STRICKLAND presented a petition from cer tain of the inhabitants of the town of Rippon, in the West Riding of the county of York, upon the subject of the Reform Bill. The petitioners stated that in consequence of the overwhelming influence and great property of Ms. Lawrence in that borough, it had hitherto been what was called a close borough; and he (Mr. Strickland) stated these facts with the less regret, because there was not one word in the petition disre spectful to that amiable lady. It stated that if the pre sent boundari e s of Rippon be hereafter its boundaries, it would still he a dose or rotten borough in the posses sio❑ of Mrs. Lawrence, and the petitioners prayed that the adjoining boroughs of Pentyhrielge, Boroughbridge, and Ripley, be added to Rippon. They also stated, that in consequence of the liberality of Mrs. Lawrence in presenting the Mayor with an annual gift of two hundred pounds, it would be unfit to make that officer i❑ future the returning officer ; that the Corporation of Rippon was a self-elected body, which caused a denial of justice to a great portion of the inha bitants, and they prayed the House to take into consider ation the state of the Magistracy in all self elected Cor porations.—(Hear, hear.)—The petition was ordered to be printed. The Hort. MEm men next presented a petition, numerously and respectably signed by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Wakefield, against the General Registry Bill. The petitioners conceived that the expence of taking copies of deeds would present a great obstacle to the transfer of small portions of land ; and they were of opinion that the present mode of registry in the West Riding of Yorkshire possessed all the advantages, and at much less expense, than were promised by the establish ment of a Metropolitan Registry Office... The petition was read and ordered to be printed. The HON. MEMBER then adverted to a petition which he held in his hand from a person named John Smithson, of Leeds. The petitioner stated that he was well aware he could not be permitted by the rules of the House to advert to what had taken place in Parliament, but he complained that he had seen a statement in the public papers, in which the Hon. Member for Preston was reported to have said that the petitioner had been guilty of the atrocity of roasting the Bible.—(Cries of " Order, order.") Mr. SPEAKER interrupted the Honourable Mem ber, by stating that he must be perfectly aware, that the correction of any thing that appeared in the public papers out of the House could not properly be the subject of a petition to the House. Mr. STRICKLAND said that, bowing to the decision of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he would beg leave to with. draw the petition. Mr. SPEAKER—It is not presented yet.—(A laugh.) Mr. STRICKLAND said he would not press it. Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition from Workington against the Registry Bill ; also two other petitions of a similar nature from parishes in Cumberland. Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from the Corporation of Surgeons of Edinburgh, praying that fa cility might be given to the study of anatomy. Mr. O'CONNELL would take that opportunity of mentioning a few facts to the House connected with the subject of anatomy, which had been detailed to him. It might be incredible to the House, but he had been assured that it was the fact that a person in Ireland had actually received no less a sum than 361. for three bodies exported rum Ireland into England. So large a sum, the Hon. Member considered, held out the greatest possible inducements to murder. He was clearly of opinion that sonic mode must be adopted, and that immediately, to give greater facility to the students at medical schools. If the law of the country continued to deprive the medical student of those facilities which were necessary to the prosecution of his studies, the result would be that the science would be given up in this country, as students would go to France, where every faci lity was given to so important a branch of the education of a medical man. Mr. HUN I' believed that the sum a hich had been stated by the Hon. Member for Kerry was the average price which b a d b een g i ven f or su bj ects for some t ime past. He understood that the College of Surgeons, in Dublin, had lectured for some time on artificial by subject s, prepared andar had ti fi cial met with universal a pp ro b a ti on . It was extraordi nary, as the study o f anatomy was carried on with such success in Paris, wi t h artificial subjects, it could not be pursued in this country with equal benefit. For himself, he understood that the student after practising upon the artificial subject might, by dissections on two or three real subjects, acquire as good a knowledge of ana tomy as if he had had the dissection of forry real ones. The first surgeons in London had examined and expressed their approbation of the artificial subjects. He considered the Bill introduced by the Hon. Member fur Bridport calculated to do every thi ng to promote science, but nothing for the security of the public. Mr. CRAMPTON hid no hesitation in saying that the information which the Hon. Member for Preston had re ceived fromhu=,li n was perfectly inaccurate. Unless some such Bill as that introduced by the Hon. Member for Bridport beca me t h e Irw of the land, there would be no security for the life of any human being. Mr. SHELL was sure that tnere was not a single sur geon in Dublin w h o would agree in the necessity of ana tomy being dispensed with. Mr. ROBINSON observed that there was a great dif ference of opinion among tnedical men with respect to the merits of the Bill introduced by the Hon. Member for Bridport. He did not mean to say that he was opposed to that Bill, but he implored the House to give its most serious attention to the subject before it came to any posi tive enactment on the subject. Sir R. IN GLIS thought no ti me s h ou ld b e l ost i n giving facilities to the students of anatomy. He did not agree altogether with the Bill of the Honourable Member for Bridport, he bad his own views on the sub ject, but he was quite sure some interference on the part of the Legislature was absolutely necessary. Mr. WARBURTON concurred with the Hon.

An inquest was held on Saturday, before Mr. BA K ER, at the Bricklayers' Arms public-house, New York-road, on the body of Robert Vevers, a child nearly eight years of age. Emily Margaret Vevers, 63, Bridport-place, sister of the de ceased, stated that her brother was taken poorly on the preced ing Saturday, and was covered with a rash, supposed to be the measles. In consequence of this eruption, on Monday she purchased, by desire of her mother, some saffron, which brought the rash out snore generally. On Tuesday, by her mother's di rections, she procured a pennyworth of ipecacuanha, at Mr. Neale's shop, for the purpose of snaking deceased sick. A young woman, Mr. Neale's sister, served her, no shopman be ing present, and Mr. Neale not being in the shop. She asked what it was for, and witness told her. She reached down a bottle, which contained a powder of a coffee colour, a portion of which she put in a paper, and gave it to witness, directing her to give her brother a little first, and if that did not snake him sick, to give him some more, and if that failed, to give him the remainder. She took it home and laid it on the shelf; when the deceased, though covered with a rash, was cheerful and in good health. The next morning, about ten, deceased had about a third of the powder in milk and water administered to him by his mother. This did not produce sickness, when he took another third of the powder mixed in sugar. This made him rather sick in about a quarter of an hour. The remainder there upon was given to the child. The time that elapsed from ad— ministrating the first dose to the last was at the most three. quarters of ass hour. Miss Neale did not tell witness at what intervals the medicine was to be taken. The deceased then be. came a little sick, but not so much as the mother expected, who gave him some warm water, which again caused sickness, and he vomited the hot water, but not the powder. He laid down on his mother's lap as going to sleep ; she roused him up, and occasionally gave him some more warm water, which pro duced slight sickness; deceased lay down, and seemed as if he were sleeping; he remained so for upwards of an hour, and be came very pale, and then his mother advised his father to go and procure some more ipecacuanha ; his mother had given him a teaspoonful of brandy before his father returned; the paper containing the ipecacuanha was opened, when it was dis covered that the latter powder differed in colour from that pro cured from Mr. Neale. Upon this discovery Mrs. Vevers sent her husband to ask Mr. Baker, the surgeon, to come, and also sent wit ness to Mr. Neale's to procure another pennyworth of ipecacu. anha ; witness went and saw Mr. Neale, and asked for a penny_ worth of ipecacuanha, which he took from a bottle which stood by the side of the one from which Miss Neale had previously supplied witness, and after weighing it, gave it to witness. The powder was of the same colour which the father had procured from Mr. Baker's. She opened the powder, and said it was not like that which she had the preceding night, and pointed to the bottle out of which Miss Neale had helped her; Mr. Neale then asked how was the child, to which witness replied, that Mr. Baker had been called in, anti had said that he was dying. He then said, why did they send for any other surgeon ? Why did they not send for him ? She gave Mr. Neale her name and address, and he promised to come immediately, and he seemed very much alarmed. She told this to her mother, who directed her to go to Mr. Baker, which she did, and he came shortly after Mr. Neale. Mr. Baker told her not to let Mr. Neale interfere with her when he came. Mr. Neale, when he saw the child, called for some brandy, when Mrs. Vevers told Mr. Neale he was not to interfere with Mr. Baker's treatment of the child; upon which he took up his hat and departed. Shortly afterwards he returned, accompanied by Mr. Baker. Witness stopped at Mr. Neale's and asked another young woman to allow her to look at the name on the bottle, which she declined to do. The young woman said, that Mr. Neale was very sorry for the accident, and showed a stomach pump to witness, which Mr. Neale was to send for if occasion required. She looked up, and found that the bottle had been removed, on which witness said " its gone," and the young woman, who was a servant, turned towards the window, and said nothing. She told witness that the bottles were marked with the Latin name in front, and the English behind, Witness returned home, where he saw Mr. Neale and Mr. Baker. Deceased then appeared to be in a deep stupor. Mr. Neale then sent home for a book to consult, and also sent for a stomach pump. The stomach pump was applied to the de. ceased, and the contents were brought from his stomach, but did not give him any effectual relief. He died about a quarter before six 011 the same evening, but did not complain of any suffering. Miss Neale was examined, but the Coroner stated to her that she was not bound to give any evidence which might cri minate herself, and that the statement she was about to snake wa6 perfectly voluntary. Witness was not in the habit of serving in her brother's shop; but she occasionally served things, such as doses made up and weighed, and marked with English names. She de posed to having served Miss Vevers with a pennyworth of ipeca. cuanha to the best of her knowledge. The ipecacuanha weighed 15 grains, but she had never weighed 15 grains before. She weighed it on her own authority, and it was against her bro ther's will that she should weigh any article. After hearing the evidence, the CORONER considered it a cause of manslaughter, and quoted the authority of Mr. Jus tice Bailey in corroboration of his opinion. Here Mrs. Vevers interrupted, and said to Miss Neale, " You've poisoned my boy, and you've broken my heart." Upon this Miss Neale nearly went into hysterics, and was removed out of the room. Mr. Baker, surgeon, of Brudenell-place, New North-road, said from an examination of the body after it had been opened, he was of opinion that the child had perished through having taken some narcotic poison, but he could not tell what that poison was. Mr. Neale said that the bottle to which Miss Vevers pointed, and identified to him, as that out of which Miss Neale had given her the poison, contained a cathartic powder for children ; was composed of mercury, jalap, rhubarb, scammony, and some other ingredients. Upon the bottle the right name was not put, but the abbreviation of compound ipecacuanha powder. His opinion was, that the child had died of congestion of the brain. After half an hour's consultation, the Jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died a natural death by the visitation of God ; but that previously to his death, a medicine was adminis tered to him which had been ignorantly sold by Ann Neale, from a bottle belonging to her brother, Joseph Cockayn Neale, a surgeon, bearing upon it certain characters indicating a diffe rent description of medicine from that which it really contained." The Jury expressed their reprehension of the conduct of Miss Neale and her brother, but they did not think any thing in the shape of criminality attached to either party. ----- Salmon fishing commenced on Wednesday in the Tay and its tributaries. Ten fine fish were taken that day at Mr. BELL'S fishings, and six to-day ; the other sta tions were nut muceessful.,Perthshire Courier. PRICE 7D. - of Paris had merely spoken of it as useful to the pupil when dissecting. Mr. SHAW would state a fact, in corroboration of the likelihood that those crimes which had disgraced this country might very speedily he introduced into Ireland, were some legislative measure, such as that now proposed, not carried into effect. Within the last few days, an indivi dual bad been discovered in the county of Wexford, driving a cart, in which had been found the dead bodies of four children, supposed to have been murdered for the pur pose of selling for dissection. A great body of evidence on this subject had already been before the public, but whether it was true in its particulars it was important that some measure, having the same objects as that of the Hon. Member (Mr. Warburton), should pass into law. Mr. STEVENSON hoped that the provisions of the Bill introduced would prevent any price being given for dead bodies as all. The lion. Member for Preston bad not been accurately informed as to the schools of anatomy abroad. In France and Germany the bodies were supplied from the prisons, workhouses, and infirmaries, and from the facilities thus efforded,science there hail reached a height unequalled in any other country. It was in Italy that Harvey acquired that scientific instruction which enabled him af terwards to discover the circulation of the blood. Mr. RUTHVEN hoped that the Bill, if a good one, would be applied to Ireland. Mr. HUNT meant to say, that artificial subjects would not wholly supersede, but decrease the necessity-for real ones for anatomical purposes. Mr. O'CONNELL said, the House had two things to do e —first, to discourage the practice of horrid murder, and next to promote science. Prejudices existed as to the practice of dissection, but the body, if not cut up by the anatomical knife, became decomposed by the worms and cor ruption. No prejudice should therefore arise against the Bill on that account. As to the school of anatomy in Dubliu, the Hon. Member for Preston had been grie vously misinformed. Great facility had been afforded to anatomical study, and in consequence of the number of bodies supplied to that institution it had risen to the greatest eminence. Mr. WARBURTON then presented three similar peti tions from the town of Sheffield, from the pupils of a school in Golden-square, and another place. The Hon. Member took occasion to say that a statement which the Honourable Member for Preston had made on a former night was incorrect with regard to Dr. John Hunter. The fact was, that celebrated individual having a disease of the heart bad given directions that his body should be dissected, pnd certain parts should be preserved in the College of Surgeons. He (Mr. Warburton) said this upon the authority of a medical gentleman who at tended the dissection of Dr. Hunter. After a few words from Mr. HUNT, in explanation, the petitions were read and ordered to be printed. Mr. WARBURTON then presented a petition from the National Political Union, signed only by the members of the Council, which of course could only be received as the petition of those who signed it. They prayed that the qualification for the franchise might not depend upon the payment of any rates or taxes. The Hon. Member said he supported the prayer of the petition. Lord STORMONT objected to the House receiving a petition coming from persons professing themselves to be members of the Council of those societies which had been denounced by his Majesty's proclamation. On this ground he should oppose the presentation of the petition. Mr. WARBURTON was not before aware that any proclamation had declared all these societies illegal.— (Hear.) The proclamation was merely directed against certain societies which corresponded with each other. The Noble Lord should make out a case to show that the pre sent society came within the spirit and letter of the statute, and even then it would not justify the House in rejecting the petition, or prevent its being received as the petition of those who signed it. Mr. O'CONNELL denied the assertions of the Noble Lord (Stormont), either as regarded a breach of the proclamation or of the law. Even if the procla mation decided the society to be illegal fifty times, that would not prove its illegality.—(Hear, bear, hear.) As a member of the National Union, he denied that it was an illegal society, or any transactions connected with it, and he stood there ready to defend the society from any aspersions. He believed, indeed, it was of the utmost importance that those Unions should not be treated with haughtiness or contempt.—(Hear.) Mr. A. TREVOR said it was obvious to him that his Majesty's proclamation was aimed at such societies. If persons chose to petition the House as resident house holders, or in any other capacity but as members of the Council of a Union, be would never object to it ; but he felt bound to support his Noble Friend (Lord Stormont) in opposine this petition. Mr. HUME, as a member of the Political Union, de clared that its exertions were most meritorious. He advised the opposers of this petition to read the prospectus of the society, and if they could find any thing illegal in its transactions, then only could they properly make any objection to the petition. So far from those societies being illegal, he would be glad to see them established in every parish in England. He denied that the King's proclamation could suppress them, unless they had been guilty of an offence against the law. Mr. TREVOR asked if any society denounced by the King's proclamation, be permitted to meet and petition this House as a body, of what use was the proclamation Mr. HUME answered none at all.—(Loud laughter and cries of " Hear.") If those societies were guilty of any offence, the remedy was not to be found in the King's proclamation. Mr. HUNT said, the prayer mentioned in the petition had been wholly lost sight of, viz.—that the payment of rates and taxes should not be made a qualification to vote ; and in that prayer he concurred. He contended that the petitioners were entitled to have their petition received, even though they had been found guilty and convicted of an offence. That would not deprive any person of his tight of petitioning. After a few observations from Sir F. BURDETT and Mr. WARBURTON, which were totally inaudible, the petition was ordered to be printed. Lord ALTHORP then moved the order of the day, for the House receiving the report of the Committee of Supply, when Sir R. VYVYAN rose for the purpose of postponing h;s motion with respect to Belgium. The Hon. Member observed that the fluuse would recollect on Friday last he had stated that the presentation of a treaty between five Powers, and ratified only by thr. e, was totally without precedent. The Noble Lord (Palmerston) had cited the case of the Congress at Vienna, which at the time it was laid before the House, in 1815, wanted the signature of the Plenipotentiary of Spain. He (Sir R. Vyvyan) most certainly thought it did nit require much argu ment to prove that that treaty was no authority fur the course adopted by Ministers, a step which had in volved his Majesty in the serious predicament of having sent a treaty to Parliament not properly ratified. It Eggs consequence of such difficulties surrounding the country and the House that he now rose for the purpose of postpon ing his motion, not kncwing at present how to deal with the subject. When he gave notice before Christmas of his intention to bring the subject forward, it was generally understood that the ratification was to take place on the Ist of January.—(Hear.) It was, howevee, postponed to the 31at. The House was, therefore, in this predicament, that it could not discuss the treaty as a docu ment that might be amended. It was an incomplete transaction, and it would be premature to bring the subject before the House until the treaty wee ratified by all the Powers. He (Sir Richard Vyvyan) was the more induced to postpone the motion in consequence of having seen a protocel, stating that the ratification would he produced in a short time, perhaps within a fortnight or three weeks. Such being the case, he should postpone the motion to the 28th. At the same time begging it to be understood, that. ie She event of the treaty not being ratified, he should think it necessary to postpone it still further. For as the motion which he should have to make would probably be a vote of censure on Government, he should not wish to bring the (subject forward till the Government were prepared to meet it. Lord PALMERSTON, when he quoted the authority of the Congress at Vienna, had prefaced it by s t at i ng i t was not a case perfectly similar to the present. In that cage the Spanish Government hail not ratified the treaty : the Douse would also recollect that he had stated, that if there were no precedent to be found, the ergency of the case should itself make a precedent. He h a d a l as state d then, that the treaty wits not less binding on this country, because it had not been signed by three out out of the five contracting parties.....(Cheers.) In Lis opinion it was the bounden duty of the servants of the Crowe to communicate the contents r( Parliament.—(Hear, bear, hear.) s, cation of those three Powers in no - the engagements entered into by England ; reason, therefore, why the treaty should not . _ to Parliament. There might be reasons why Hon. Mem • berm should wish to represent the treaty as incomplete-- (Cheers)—but as far as the engagements of England were concerned, the transaction was complete. His Majesty's Government had laid that treaty before Parliament, and :- with were r p e r s e p p e a c r t ed t o Member to bring the subject before that H ouse . t i o t , defend wh en e i t y , e a r s i t we s l h l o a u s l d their pleai o e w a a ny con H d o u n c . t Mr. CHOKER wished to know whether, according to ' the law of nations, if a treaty were negociated between I several parties, and only two out of three of the parties, for instance, ratified it, that ratification was binding on the parties who had ratified, though the third refused to come in and ratify? Lord PALMERSTON had no hesitation in answtring " Yes" to the question that had just been put. to him. As far as be was informed of the laws of nations, a treaty concluded, like the present, between five parties or powers, two ratifying and three refusing to ratify, the ratifications was equally binding on those who had ratified, whether the other three continued to refuse to ratify or not. RUSSIAN LOAN. Mr. ROBINSON felt it his duty to advert again to what bad been said the other night respecting the state of this country with regard to the Russian loan. The House would, be had no (lowa, tecollect that by its vote upon a r+ cent motion it negatived the proposition that the last payment had not been warranted . hy the law ; there had been no vote whatever declaring that the payment had been according to the law, therefore he, (Mr. Robinson), considered that the question now rested where it was. On that occasion it was stead that B. lgium was not separate d from this country—alter the speech of to-night, however, it was to be hoped the House would net hear such a declaration from the Ti easury Bench again. He (Mr. R.) contended that the Government had no right to make any further ply ment on account of the Russian loan without bringing the whole of the merits of the ett*e before Parliament: He stated this the more, because on a forrnereaecamon one reason given as an argument for the continuance.of the payments by his Majesty's Paymaster of the Forms, was chatn,nstanees growing out of what had taken place in the years 1830 and 1831. Now if the Gevernment bads any reason for saying they were bound to make these plyneente atter they bad been strictly called upon to make them, he (Mr. R.) had such an opinion of Parliament as to believe that upon that reason being explained to Parliament, it would authorise the continuance of the payment. At the saint. time, according to the strict and literal meaning of the con tract, the Hon. Gentleman contended that Government had no right to snake one more payment without the approba tion of Parliament. He asked, therefore, and begged to hare an answer to his question, whether Government considered themselves entitled to continue to make the payments on account of the Ruoian lo ,n, without first bringing the subject before Parliament ? Should the Noble Lord opposite state 'in reply that Government meant on some future occasion to bring the question with all its details before Parliament, he (Mr. 11.) would allow the , subject to rest till that time ; but should the Noble Lord say Government felt themselves authorised to continue the pay inents, and meant to continue snaking them, he would consider such a course an usuipation of the privileges of the House, and would himself move (if some snore able and Honourable Member did not think proper to bring tomtits/ such a motion) a resolution to restrain Government frons making any further payment hereafter on account of the loan until after Parliament had had all the circuro stances submitted to its consideration. Lord ALTHORP could not pretend to say ,A hat Hon. Members ought to do, and what they ought to abstain from doing, upon the exercise of their own discretion. He would content himself by saying, in answer to the question, as he understood it put to him, that he was prepared to contend the separation of Belgium from Holland did nor relieve this country from continuing its future payments yet that separation had made such a change in the circumstances of the case as to render it necessary to con sider the question in another form, and which it was un doubtedly the intention of his Majesty's Government to submit to Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) FINANCE, Lord ALTHORP having again moved the order of the day for the report of the Committee of Supply, Mr. GOULBIJRN did not think it requisite to apo logize for the course he was about to pursue, in requesting from the Government, some definite information respecting the financial state of the country. If apology was necessary, it was due from Parliament to the country for bavieg ors )(mg deferred calling the attention of the House to the circum stances in which they stood, and directing their attention to what was more particlarly their province and duty__ the state, namely, of the public pufte; requiring from Government those explanations of the past, and that infor mation with respect to the future, which would, in some degree, calm that general oppression which the present unhappy conjuncture of affairs was calculated to excit The situation of the country was, at the present, of art unprecedented character; it had gone through periods of war and of peace, it had met the difficulties of the one and the embarrassments of the other, but it was always found at the termination of the year that the arrangements of Government had by soma means cr other provided a fund adequate for the expenditure. This was the first occasion in which we had found our selves with a large deficiency of income as compared with our expenditure; and that under the peculiar circumstances that the expectations of the country had been raised to find a different result only three ninths antecedently. It now appeared, that whereas the Noble Lord oppo site had at that period promised us a surplus little short of 500,0001., he found that these was a deficiency of 700,0001. ; so that a change in the supposed condition of our finances to the amount of nearly 1,200,0004 had been effected in the short period of three mouths ! If the calculation of the future were to proceed in that ratio, the result would be no inconsiderable or unimport tnt trifle. And what were the circumstances under which this fart appeared? It wee not announced to the House by a message from the King. It was not stated by any Minister, with the explanation which so extraordinary an occurrence required. It was brought into notice by the production of a paper far which be (Mr G.) had himself moved. The fact must entirely change the character of the financial discus.. lions in that House. Formerly they deliberated what was the proper surplus of income over expenditure, and in what mode that surplus might be most advantageously applied. Same Hon. Members were of one opinion —sums of another ; some were friendly to a Sinking Fund—others were hos tile to it; but men of all parties, end of all sentiments, were agreed that it was expedient to place Ihe finances of the country in such a state that there Awed(' be a surplus. Tne general apprehension which existed on this; subject did not arise from any supposition that the resources of the country were not adequate to meet any exigency ; it arose from the peculiar circumstances in which the Government bad involved themselves. Under these circumstancea the country had a right to ask why it found its,lf in its present eituetion.- If it had proceeded from any miscalculation, the House and the country had a right to expect an explanation of the cause of the inaccuracy. We were in our present condi., tion, not only without being in pot secaion oieny ex r y mans of forming a judgment as to the future, but even without those ordin ti y iceans the produ,:tiort 4.1 which was prescribed by 12.%% On the 19th of Feisenaiy. IS2i, the House cane to a resolution that it was essentially ne cessary to the fulfilment of their duty as the guardians of The public purse, whenever Parrearnetit assembled before Christmas, the estimates of the naval and military and other public services s!ueuld be presented by the 15 , 11 of January. None of the estimates, however, had yet been laid on the table.. And yet the necessity of the practice for waich the eeaulivion provided had been advocated by one of the most distinguished members of the party opposit e to him, who had himself been Chancellor of the Exche quer, and who, therefore, had ample means of forming a sound opinion upon the subject. For ten years, under the various Admiantrations which had c'onduc'ed the affairs of the country, that resolution had been strictly observed. But now, when in consequence of the deficiency which for the first time appeared in the income of the country, it became peculiarly necessary to know n hat the estimates of the year were, those estimates were not on the table of House ; and in their absence the Noble Lord opposite bad not thought it necessary to give any explanation on the subject. But that was not all. On the 12th of December last, the House came to a resolution that the estimates ai the public service shun] I be laid on the tale, On the table, however, they were not—and no reason had been assigned for their non•production. He did not think it uucandid to attribute this delay to some reluctance on the part of the G.,vecoment, to take the counsel of Parliament on the subject. On the sth of J499aly, 1831, we had a surplus exceeding 2,900, 0 9 0 / Let it not b e supp ose d th at h e w i s h e d to k ee p out 0' et.s.sight those arrangem e nts o f th e f ormer y ear , which mu st n eerily lead to a di m i nu ti on o f th a t surplus from a million to a million and a half in amount.

That there wa , a_ i efi - __e expenditure having exceeded the ciency of 700,000/. income by that amount, and having exceeded the calcula tion made three months before by the Noble Lord to the amount of 1,100,000/. Under eucii circumstances the country was paturolly anxious to know wh3 course wal
