PERRINS, LEA, and PERRINS, from a careful Analysis of the Chalvbeate and Saline Waters of the justly celebrated Montpelier Springs. 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 aperient q ua liti es f or w hi c h they are so universally taken in the cure of Bilious Disorders and Atony of the Stomach, Messrs. Perrins, Lea, and Perrins have the satisfaction of announcing to Medical Practitioners and the Public in general, that th ey h ave e ff ected this much-desired combina tion, in a manner decidedly and absolutely new and perfect. .The Toni c L axat i ve Cheltenham Effervescing Salts, uniting the st rengt h en i ng anti-dyspeptic properties of the Waters with the deobstruent tad aperient effects of the original Springs, while at the same time the free disen gagement of Carbonic Acid Gas (fixed Air) is produced during their solution in a manner fully equal, if not supe rior, to other preparations before the public, but which contain no Tonic quality, so essential in Saline Prepara tions for general use, are now prepared by Messrs. Per rims, 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 Organs exists, and also in cases where the ordinary Saline Aperients produce Langour of the System. Voyagers and Inhabitants of Warm Climates will find 6e Tonic Effervescing Laxative Salts of invaluable benefit and importance; they improve the Appetite and Digestion, remove Biliary Accumulation, and may be taken daily for any length of time with undiminished good effect.

This match, i❑ which Rattler, the celebrated American, the property of Mr. Osbaldeston, was matched to trot in saddle 34 miles (17 out and 17 in), against Mr. Lawton's galloway Driver, for 500/. a-side, or 100 L forfeit, came off on Friday according to articles. The start took place from Newmarket, on the road towards London, and back. Rattler had to carry 11 stone, while Driver had to carry but 9 stone—a difference in weight considered highly in favour of the latter, although scarce 14 hands high, while Rattler is 15 hands and a half. We may here men tion that Driver was formerly in the possession of the Duke of Gordon, subsequently became the property of Macdonald, the jockey, but has lately been the property of Mr. Lawton, who made the present match. The weights having been adjusted, and Mr. Osbaldeston having mounted Rattler, and Macdonald Driver, the signal was given for starting. The horses went off at a steady pace, Mr. Osbaldeston rather in the rear—a position which it was understood he intended to preserve throughout till near home, when he purposed taking the lead, if in his power. The road was alternately up and down hill, in some places the ascents and descents being rather precipi tous, between chalk hills, which rendered it extremely warm and oppressive, from a want of a free circulation of air. In going towards town, the horses were met by a gentle and refreshing breeze, but this being at their backs on their return, the disadvantage was obvious. As the horses proceeded, Macdonald increased his speed, but Mr. Osbaldeston judiciously kept close to his quarters, and waited upon him with persevering industry. The first three miles were done in 12 minutes, and the first 14 in 50 minutes. At the turn of the 17 miles Driver was in front about a couple of lengths, and without pulling up they came on in the same relative position till within about a mile of home, near the ditch gate, when the Squire said " Good bye." Both horses were now greatly dis tressed ; the pace, though not rapid, was sufficiently fa tiguing from the heat of the atmosphere. Macdonald tried his little nag towards the conclusion, but he always found Mr. Osbaldeston close upon his haunches. At last Mi. Osbaldeston, finding the period for the push arrive, went forward, and, in spite of all Macdonald could do, came in first by about 50 yards ; performing the 34 miles in 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 56 seconds, or at the aggregate rate of a mile in four minutes throughout. In many parts of the road this pace was exceeded, as the trot for the last few miles did not seem to exceed 12 miles an hour. Mr. Osbaldeston was loudly cheered. He immediately dismounted and weighed, apparently little fatigued. Rattler, however, was greatly distressed, and was taken into the first stable which presented itself, where every possible care was taken of him ; but when our account left Newmarket, rumour stated him to be in a precarious condition. Driver was equally distressed, but was con ducted into the town and bled. He refused his food for some time, but gradually recovered his spirits, and was pronounced " in a fair way," although acknowledged to have been " dead beaten." Rattler is since dead ; he died on Saturday. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, JULY 14.—The squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Ma'- colm, consisting of the Donegal, 78, Captain Dick ; Castor, 36, Captain Sir R. Grant; Orestes, IS, Commander Glascock, and Trinculo, 18, Comman der Booth, passed this port yesterday, for Plymouth, but for what purpose to be assembled there is only matter of conjecture. It is, however, doubtless connected with some political movement, as the Marine Artillery Companies, and also a battalion of 400 Marines, are to be immediately collected, and placed under the orders of Major Parke. It may be, that it is considered advisable, from the dis turbed state of Ireland, to have a moveable force ready to act on an emergency ; or that it is contem plated to augment the force and squadron at Lisbon. Government might also have in view the taking possession of Minorca, or consider that the Greek islands want looking after, the more particularly so, as we learn that the Marines of the St. Vincent, with a strong party of seamen, are landed under the command of Captain Senhouse, and are holding possession (jointly with a French force) of a fort which overlooks Napoli di Romania. The Marshal Bennett transport arrived on Wed nesday from Barbadoes, which place she left on the 11th, and St. Lucia on the 12th of June. She left at Barbadoes the Pallas, 42, Captain William Wal pole, and the Columbine, 18, Commander Henry Love. The Winchester, 52, Captain the Right Hon. Lord William Paget, bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral Colpoys, and the Sapphire, 28, Captain the Right Hon. William Wellesley, were at Jamaica, whither the Pickle schooner had sailed. The Rein deer packet arrived at Bat badoes on the 7th of June, and the Lady Mary Pelham on the Bth, from Fal mouth. Major-General Farquharson, the Governor of St. Lucia, had lately recovered from a very se vere indisposition ; the garrison was altogether very healthy. The following persons, together with sun dry detachments, came home passengers in the Mar shal Bennett : Dr. W. Haskel, and Assistant-Sur geon H. N. Holden, of the Medical Staff ; J. E. Smith,Esq., Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-General at Barbadoes, and lady ; Quarter-Master Hugh Mair, of the Ist Royals, and Lieutenant A. M. Young, 45th Foot. The Marshal Bennett sailed to-day for Woolwich. The Jupiter (troop ship) arrived yesterday from Plymouth, to take on board the 14th Regiment in this garrison, for Cork. They will embark on Monday. The wisdom of Gotham has been at all times proverbial, but the public was hardly prepared for such an astounding specimen of it as that of setting open the prison doors, not only that delinquents may be enabled to renew their career, but enabling them to spread the very di.ease, the existence of which is the alleged cause of this sage proceeding.—Morning Herald. Hops.—The plantations near Canterbury have not so promising an appearance as they had. Some grounds high in sap are getting very foul and honied, and the mould is also on the increase. The plant is in a very precarious state. Near Maidstone there is an alteration in hop plantations for the worse last week. The increase of vermin is considerable, and particularly in those grounds where a very little fly has been seen all the year. In some parts the bine is covered with lice. At Cranbrook and its vicinity the plantations look extremely thriving, an d from present appearances an abundant crop may be ex pected. At Tenterden the bine is looking very healthy, and more free from fly than at this period last year. The a p b l a u n n t d a a t n i o t n e s r at . 111 a T r d h e e n b i a n n e d i sa tolerably djoining good parishes ;b b u e t t ok f roemn then rapid increase of honey-dew, and the already enormous quantity of lice, we doubt whether such an impression is not made that the grounds will with difficulty recover, and more particularly so where they are short of bine. Fortunately, however, the neger has made its appearance. Accounts from Yalding state the bine to be very back ward, but in general it is remarkably good; but if no al teration takes place in the weather, the blight is expecte& to affect it. The mould has attacked the plantations in and about I.7lcomb..—Kent Herald. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1832. DRAMATIC COMMITTEE. (From the Observer of Sunday.) As we mentioned in our last, the labours of the Committee on Dramatic Literature have this week been closed, after the examination of witnesses had been continued on Tuesday and Thursday. We will first advert to the deposi tions of the additional witnesses (as the repre sentation of those depositions has reached us), and afterwards say a word or two as to the pro bable result of the investigation. It is known that Sir Richard Birnie and Mr. Halls refused to convict on an information by a Major against a Minor Theatre, on the ground that no sufficient evidence was produced by the accusing party to show that the Minor Theatre was not licensed. Lord Tenterden subsequently overruled that decision, laying it down that the person charged with being proprietor or manager of a theatre was bound to prove that he had a license, or to submit to the conviction. Mr. Halls was called on Tuesday, and he seems to have staggered the Committee by asserting that were a similar case again brought before him, he should decide it in the same way, not knowing what evidence the Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench had before him to produce a con trary opinion. This objection on the part of one magistrate would, however, probably not be made by others who had no previous determina tion to support, and it could not apply to the prosecution of actors : besides, Mr. Halls him self said, that all he required to show that a theatre was not licensed, was the attendance of a person from the Lord Chamberlain's-office, to state that no permission was found registered in the books there. Mr. Halls, like everybody else, admitted that the state of the law required amendment, in order that it might be duly en forced. There have been only two witnesses before the Committee who were for the abroga tion of all law : one was Mr. Davidge, of the Coburg, who seems to act upon this opinion ; and the other, Mr. Place, of Charing-cross, who is married to Mrs. W. S. Chatterley who has no engagement at either house. He was produced on Tuesday, and among other things contended, that theatres ought to be made the means of po litical excitement, or at least that there was no objection to their being so. When he con tended that the Great Theatres were deserted be cause they had built out the public by their un bearable and unseeable dimensions, he was more reasonable. When he had concluded, the room was cleared of strangers ; and some expectation was felt that the Committee would order the evi dence of Mr. Place to be expunged : but those who wished it (and none wished it more than the true friends of the Minor Theatres) were disappointed. The rest of Tuesday seems to have been occupied in hearing two country managers—one Mr. Raymond, from Liverpool, and the other Mr. Wilkins, from Norwich—on the question whether Provincial Theatres could afford to pay authors a small sum for the pri vilege of representing their new plays, after they had been produced in London. Mr. Raymond thought they could, and Mr. Wilkins that they could not : but Mr. Planche showed, that under existing circumstances, they need not ; inas much as, if a piece were not printed, a country manager could get a MS. copy of it, by bribery for two guineas, and he would not, therefore, be disposed to give even so small a sum as 51. to the author for his permission. The proceedings on Thursday were of little interest or importance. Mr. Morton (praising the bridge that carried him safely over), through thick and thin, on his second examination, ad vocated the cause of the large Patent Theatres. We use the word " advocated," because unless we were misinformed, one of the witnesses, late in the day, actually complained that Mr. Mor ton had rather appeared as an advocate than as an evidence. Kenny told a long story of the manner in which he had been, as it were, tricked out of his Masaniello, for which he had never received a farthing from Drury-lane, although it had been played there nearly 200 nights. For his Irish Ambassador 701. were yet due from Co vent-garden, although the management, since it was produced, had contrived to pay 6001. to Miss F. Kemble, and nearly as large a sum to Mr. Knowles. His was a case of extreme hard ship, arising in a great degree out of the evils of monopoly. We are told that it was not a little droll, on Thursday, to see Mr. T. Moore, of Bond -street, step forward on behalf of the Major Theatres, and assert his entire disinterestedness, although he admitted that he had advanced sums of money to Mr. Harris, the proprietor of Covent-garden, whose property he considered at stake in this question. He could not be pre vailed upon to tell the Committee how much lie had advanced to Mr. Harris on the faith of the patent. The business was wound up by the examination of Mr. Elton, an actor at the Surrey, who seems to have given his evidence in support of the Minors in a highly creditable manner. He has been for some years endea vouring to get an engagement at a winter theatre ; but his applications were usually left unanswered. We venture to prophesy that he will not be much longer absent from either the one or the other patent house—if patent houses they are hereafter to be called. The Committee will reassemble on Tuesday to consider of their Report, one point of which we take to be quite clear—viz., that they will recommend that a right of action should be given to authors for the recovery of a penalty, if their pieces are represented at country theatres with out their permission. The Committee will also probably suggest the classification of thea tres, as in Paris—the line to be kept by each being strictly and clearly defined. We do not suppose (speaking, of course, merely from con jecture) that any of the Minor Theatres will /I, allowed to represent th e " l eg iti ma te drama ; at all events, as far as regards the bygone pro ductions of the stage. Actors will then be sub ject to no penalties, while the law will be ren dered, as far as possible, clear and certain. It seems likely that the authority of the Lord Chamberlain will rather be extended than re strained ; and very few indeed are of opinion that the pieces to be played at Minor Theatres should be exempted from examination, either by the Li censer , or by a B oar d appo i n t e d to decide upon their fitness for public performance.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the motion of Alderman WOOD, the City of Len don Police Bill was read a third time and passed. Sir G. SKIPWITH presented a petition from the Lea mington Political Union, in favour of the Bill for the Re gulation of Infant Labour in Factories. Mr. DIXON presented a petition from the Society for the Diffusion of Knowledge at Evesham, to the same effect. Lord HOWICK presented a petition from the work men of Manchester, praying the House to afford the means of emigration to such poor persons as were desirous of emigrating. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the Bill to abolish the Court of Delegates, and the Ecclesiastical Courts Contempt Bill, were read a first time. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Manchester, signed by 9,000 persons, praying for an inquiry into the Manchester murders, of August 16, 1819 ; also, a petition from the debtors confined in Horsemonger lane gaol complaining of their treatment. They complained of bad food, of being locked up from eight o'clock at night until seven o'clock the next morning, during which time they were even deprived of water, and they complained also of the visiting Justices never attending them to learn if they had any complaints to make. Mr. BRISCOE vindicated the conduct of the visiting Magistrates, who he had every reason to believe visited the felons and debtors once a month ; as to most of the charges they were perfectly knew to him, but he believed they would be found to be groundless; however, he would this very evening visit the prison, and make the necessary inquiries. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. HOWARD presented a petition from the church wardens and overseers of the poor of the city of Carlisle against the Vagrants Removal Bill. The Hon. Member trusted the Hon. Member for Nottingham would not press his Bill. Mr. BLAAIIRE supported the petition Mr. WALKER presented several petitions from pa rishes in Tipperary and Wexford, in favour of Reform, against tithes, and in favour of the Government plan of education in Ireland. Mr. RUTHVEN presented a petition from Newry, praying for an alteration in the Boundaries Bill, with re spect to that place. The Hon. Member gave notice that on Tuesday next he should move a resolution for the adoption of the House to the effect that it was expedient to appoint a Committee to inquire into the state of Ireland, that that Committee should sit at Dublin, as the place best calculated for the production of evidence for the better management of the affairs of that country. Mr. GORDON presented a petition from Kilmore, in the county of Cork, against the Government plan of education in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL presented two petitions from pa rishes in Limerick, praying the House to adopt measures for the total abolition of tithes. Also from the National Political Union complaining of the oppression that Ireland was at this moment suffering from bad laws, and praying the House to give that country a Reform Bill equivalent to the Bill for England. Also a petition from Kilkenny, complaining of the difficulty of registering freeholders, and praying the House to adopt measures to relieve it. The Hon. Gentleman then pre sented a petition from the Law Society of Dublin, against the Civil Bills Bill, and he gave notice that if in Parlia ment next session he would being forward a motion to abolish all objections to witnesses on account of interest. On the motion of Mr. EVANS the Lords' amendments to the Corporate Funds Bill were agreed to. Mr. KENNEDY gave notice, that if honoured with a seat in the next Parliament, he would bring forward a Bill to amend the law with regard to entails in Scotland. Mr. HUNT gave notive that on Tuesday, the 24th inst. he would move for an account of all fees paid to the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and others, ou account of the Sinking Fund, and all monies paid to the Archbishop of Canterbury, or others for printing prayers on the subject of the cholera and fast days. Lord ALTHORP said a few words on the first part of the motion, but in a tone so low as not to reach the gallery. Captain GORDON seeing the Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for Ireland in his place, wished to ask him a question. He had seen it reported that a very large meet ing had taken place on the subject of tithes at Balhncal, where upwards of 200,000 people attended, and at which it was said a deputy lieutenantof the county presided. He wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman if that was true, and if so, what steps had been taken on the subject. Mr. STANLEY said he also had seen the report. The Gentleman alluded to had been called upon to offer some explanation both as a Deputy Lieutenant and as a Magis trate. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the meeting was held for the purpose of petitioning that House—a perfectly legal purpose ; he was not aware of any law to prevent them. The meeting was certainly attended by a very large concourse of people, but every thing had been quiet, and though the day was very warm, nothing but water had been drunk. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented petitions in favour of the Government Plan of Irish Education, from the general body of the three denominations of Protestant Dis senters in London and its neighbourhood; from the Clergy of the same body ; and from the Deputies appointed by the congregations of the same sects. Lord INGESTRIE was anxious to know whether the Hon. Secretary for Ireland intended to bring forward any estimate relating to the Kingston Harbour during the pre sent Session. Mr. STANLEY said be did not intend to do so at present. There was a large sum of money in the hands of the Commissioners unappropriated, which would prevent the necessity of doing so. Lord INGESTRIE wished to ask a question of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Althorp), in the absence of the First Lord of the Admiralty. He saw it stated that when Don Pedro landed at Oporto, one of his Ma jesty's ships of war, The Stay, which was there, saluted him. He wished to know whether this was cor rect, and whether the officer commanding that ship would be borne out in such conduct by his instructions. Lord ALTHORP said he was not aware that Govern ment had any notice on the matter. The ships were placed there for the protection of British commerce, but he did not believe that they had or would salute Don Pedro; —no instructions to that effect had been sent out. Mr. D. W. HARVEY was then called upon. He said he had been informed since he came into the House that Government did not mean to oppose the motion of which he had given notice for t night, which would prevent him from going at any length into his grounds for bringing it forward. He would therefore simply move that " An Address be presented to his 'Majesty, that he will be graciously pleased to direct the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state and practice of the law, to examine into the course of pro ceedings before the Benchers and Visitors of Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple, Middle Temple, and Grays Inn, upon the application of persons seeking to become students thereof or to be called to the bar, and to report the evi dence thereon, with any special circumstances, to this House." If any opposition were offered to the motion by any of his Learned Friends, he hoped the House would allow him to explain himself at a future stage. Mr. HUME seconded the motion. Mr. O'CONNELL would support the motion, but wished to be informed by the Hon. Member for Colchester whether the facts stated by Messrs. Young, Reid, and Dixon, had been offered and rejected in evidence by the benchers alluded to. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was inclined to sup port the motio❑ now, although he had upon a former oc casion opposed it, on the ground that the question then had been mixed with personalities. He was anxious also that the questio❑ which the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry had put should not be answered, lest it should lead to discussion, ex-parte statements and altercations. It was bette r that the subject should go without prejudice to the Crown, and as a matter of discussion before the commissioners who were inquiring into the state of the law. Sir C. WETHERELL wished to know whether any evidence bad been ad limed of the improper exercise of discretion which had from time iraniemorial been vested ( PRICE 7113.) in the Benchers as to the admission or rejection of Stu dents. He was a total stranger to any such complaint , and it was unfair, unnecessary, and dangerous to super sede their discretionary power, which had, he knew, been always exercised honourably, without proving that it had been exercised arbitrarily, indiscreetly, and improperly. The principle of such an interference was exceedinv i) dangerous, and he would take the sense of the House upon the motion. Lord ALTHORP said, there was no analogy between the present motion and that which was discussed on a pre vious occasion. In the present instance the object wa merely that the Law Commissioners should be instructed to inquire into the subject, while they were inquiring ilao the practice of the law—and he was of opinion that such an inquiry was desirable. Under those circumstances, be did not feel it his duty to oppose the motion. Sir F. BURDETT said the present complaint was a very serious evil, for the Benchers, from any motive open which they chose to act, could put an extinguisher a young man's prospects, no matter how talen'ed and how honourable his conduct might be. As for the privileges of these Benchers. which they had possessed, it was said, from time immemorial, they possessed nine, not being a chartered body. The question stood thus—was it advisable thit any set of persons should interfere to prevent a young man who had been educated for that purpose at a great expense from followingan honourable profession. The party was, as it were, ruined by a secret inquisitioe, which was most dishonest—for they took his fees as a siudent, and at last refused to admit him to the bar. That was a proceeding wholly unconstitutional and illegal, and the exercise of such a powhr was tyranny. The Hon. Bart. the case of Mr. John Horne Tooke, who was rejected by a majority of one on applying to be admitted, and al though he was assisted by that eminent lawyer Mr. Dun ning, he could find no redress. This was contrary to the first rule of the English law, which stated that no injury should go unredressed, and it ought to be remedied by a legislative enactment. Mr. POLLOCK thought the observations made by the Hon. Baronet tended to provoke discussion, which it might be as well to avoid. He, however, freely admitted that some inquiry was necessary, and that many of the practices ought to be corrected. He, truster, however, it would not go forth to the world that the proceedings of the Benchere of the different Inn■ of Coin t were consucted on tyrannical principles. With respect to the particular case of Horne Tooke, which the Hon. Baronet had referred to, the reason why he was not ad mitred to the Bar, was because he was in holy orders.— He thought it fit that an inquiry should be instituted as to whether any better plan could be adopted. Mr. CAMPBELL did not think any benefits could result from an inquiry, as far as regarded calling Students to the Bar.—(Hear, hear, hear.) But with respect to the practice of admitting students into Inns of Court, if any Honourable Member would introduce a Bill to amend it, he should Lave his cordial suppport. It was true there ought to be some rule by which Students were admitted Members of the Inns of Court, but in bis opinion every man of fair character was entitled to that privilege. Mr. C. FERGUSSON could not agree with the Hon. Member for Stafford, that no good would result from a Parliamentary inquiry. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

The second reading of this Bill having been move 3, The LORD CHANCELLOR—There were only two cases in which a woman had obtained a divorce, and that was in cases where the husband had committed the adul. tery with the wife's sister, and the incest was the main ground for passing the Bills. But here there was no incest, but the simple adultery, accompanied by desertion ; and if the woman should he enabled to get a divorce, then any husband might, by being guilty of these offences, gel himself divorced whenever he pleased. This was a case of great hardship as far as Mrs. Moffat was concerned ; but if Parliament should adopt this new precedent, it would open the widest door to collusion. Lord WYNFORD opposed the Bill. The Earl of ELDON—There was no evidence what ever of any collusion in this case. The House then divided on the question that the Bill be read a second time. Contents Non Contents 16 Majority against the Bill —8 Adjourned. Mr. G. ROBINSON seconded the motion. He ex pressed his disapprobation of the conduct of Government in making this question a party question, by threatening to resign if they found themselves in a minority. He thought it was exceedingly insulting to that House, to be told not to decide upon the terms of the treaty, but to con sider the question as affecting the fate of the Ministry.— (Hear, hear.) He looked upon the division of last Thurs day, not as a division upon the merits of the case, but as a division upon a party question. He denied that the statement made on that occasion by an Non. and Learned Gentleman, that England was the party mainly interested in the annexation of Belgium to Holland, was correct. England was not the party mainly interested in that an nexation, though she had unfortunately to bear the brunt of the war, and still seemed doomed to suffer from every change of affairs on the continent. A great deal had been said about the necessity of observing good faith towards foreign powers ; but, let him ask, was no good faith due to the people of this country ? Were the impoverished peo ple of England to be called upon, first to pay for the an nexation of Belgium to Holland, and then for its separa tion?—(Hear, bear.) The letter of the treaty did not warrant the payment which Ministers had thought proper to make to Russia ; and he was ignorant of any circum - stances that did. Upon looking to the debates that took place when this convention was laid before Parliament, he found that the Noble Earl now at the head of the Go vernment doubted its policy, and condemned the conduct of the then Ministry for proposing to pay money to a Power whose object was aggrandizement, and whose poli • tical views were hostile to this country. Yet when the Government were released from the obligation of the treaty, be found, then, the very same parties that originally objected to it, hastily binding themselves down by a new convention in 1832, to continue the payments to Russia. He contended, that the terms of the treaty plainly showed that it contemplated a separation of Bel gium and Holland, as well by internal commotion as by foreign invasion ; and be reminded the House, that Lord Castlereagh, during the debates to which he had just now referred, stated, that the payment of money would be suspended by this country, if by any circumstances Bel gium should be separated from Holland.—(Hear, hear.) Lord Liverpool also admitted that it was not a claim of strict justice on the part of Russia, but an appeal to the liberality of this country. He therefore thought, that after the separation of the two countries, the British Go vernment was not bound to continue the payment to Russia; and Ministers, if they refused to grant the papers now asked for, were calling upon the House to vote away the public money on no other ground but confidence in the Government. To this he must decidedly object. He did not believe that Ministers had been actuated by any unworthy or corrupt motives—they had wade a mistake ; but why, when convicted of error, do they turn round on their friends, and tell them, that unless they voted in a particular way, the Administration would resign ? 'Why not at once candidly admit that they intended to bribe Russia to consent to the separation of Belgium and Hol land, and that they had made a mistake? In his opinion the Ministers had nothing to thank Russia for. He be lieved that Power was to blame for the very unsettled state of the Belgian question, by having induced Holland to withhold her consent to the arrangements agreed upon by the five Powers. He would therefore recommend Mi nisters, at least, to postpone the payment of any further money until Holland signified her assent to the new ar rangement; and until Russia gave up those reservations respecting the Belgian question, which, in his opinion, were tantamount to a refusal to recognize the new order of things.—(Hear, hear.) He, for one, should certainly object to advance any more money to Russia, until he was convinced that honour and good faith required this country to continue the payments she had hitherto made on ac count of the Russian loan.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. KNIGHT contended that it would be most unprincipled conduct on the part of this country, if, after persuading Russia to consent to the arrangement for the separation of Belgium from Holland, we were to pocket the money which was justly due to Russia. Even in an economical point of view, it was politic to continue the payment to Russia, for a general war, in which this country must have been involved, would in all probability have re sulted from our withholding the payments. The Hon. Member for Thetford was, no doubt, an honourable man, but he with respect to this question put policy and 1110. rality entirely out of the question, and therefore lie did not think the Hon. Member's opinion was worth attend ing to. He was the friend of retrenchment and economy, but he would never sanction a proceeding, which would degrade England in the eyes of the world. The English people would disdain to effect a saving of expenditure at the expense of the national honour. By fulfilling our contract with Russia, we could with greater justice de mand that she should adhere to the terms of the treaties into which she had entered with respect to Poland. Mr. HUME wished to explain the grounds on shish he had acted against Ministers on this question, and then voted with them, and also the reasons of the vote which he intened to give upon the present occasion. The Hon. Member for Worcester had truly stated that the payment of the money to Russia was an act of liberality. He (Mr. H. ) thought that this act of liberality was extended to Russia in order to induce her to act in conformity with the spirit of the arrangements which were made in 1815. If the payment was wrong, the Hon. Gentlemen around hint who succeeded the Government of the Earl of Liverpool and - Lord Castlereagh, were quite as much to blame as the present Ministers fur continuing it. Although the Hon. Gentleman near him had submitted several motions on the subject, not one of them had gone to the extent of saying that the payment should be refused. They always left themselves a loophole to creep out at ; anti he had no doubt that if they should come into power again, they would continue to pay the money.—(A laugh.) The motion . the other night was merely a rnaricouvre to turn ,ius the Whigs, in order that the Tories might get in.— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Upon that occasion lie came down to the House with a firm determination to vote against Ministers, but when he found by whom he was surrounded—(Great laughter)....ho was extremely unte;: at ling to become a party to a proceeding which he so ci- A ucir, disliked as drivinglitlinistet s from office. He had '4O, heat, tation in saying that he changed his opin'on . „ and vote 4 with the Whigs against the Tories, althouo; he believed the Whigs to be wrong —(Great cheering from the Oppo sition.) He was determined not to assist in turning out Ministers until they had completed the great measure of Reform.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) That was the plain fact. A great deal remained to be done yet, and be wanted to see a new election take place. He should be sorry to see the Tories again in power, and the country placed in a similar situation to that in which it stood when the present Ministers accepted office.—(Hear, bear.) Under these circumstances, he felt himself warranted in voting for Ministers against his own judgment. The object of the lion. Member for Thetford was merely to effect a change from Whigs to Tories, and not to save the public tnoney.—(Hear, hear.) He had made a candid avowal of his sentiments, and admitted that he had consented "Lo little evil in order to obtain a great advantav:. Thi s , however, did not pledge hint to support th-, p o li cy w hi c h Ministers had pursued. On the contrary, he protested against it.—(A laugh.) The present motion, like the former one, was intended as a mere trial of strength between the two parties, and be would support Minis ters, however unwillingly, Would the Hon. Member for Thetford be as candid as he was, and declare, upon his honour, that he thought the money ought not to be paid to Russia? For his part, he was determined to support Ministers, right or wrong.—(Great laughter and cheering thoughtf r from ethe general Opposition.) pp o interestsition.) toi f fg i h e t thweou lead countryld to do co n o ‘s , ve u u ec ria a o u v s b e he better promoted by Minist e r s rema i n i ng in office than by change of Government, which sight that it was impossible to foresee.—(Hear.) Mr. J. CAMPBELL thought that the icrigelpies which the Hon. Member for Middlesex had expounded were cal., culated to induce a laxity of coudge: that would be by no means desirable. If he (Mr. Campbell) bad thought that Ministers had acted in violation of an Act of Parliament, he would have voted against them ; but he was of opinion that they had done no more than the law entitled them to do. For his part he required no further information to enable him to form an opinion on the case than the facts which were notorious and admitted by the papers upon the table of the House. He contended that there had been no failure of consideration on the part of Russia, who received the money now for what she had done and was doing. The c on d uct o f R uss i a towar ds Poland had nothing whatever t o d o w i t h t h e question. It certainly would have afforded him great pleasure, if the treaty of 1815 bad contained an article, stipulating that the money should not continue to be paid to Russia if she assailed the independence of Poland ; but unfortunately that was bound to fulfil th e co nditi ons o f the ot treaty as a e s , it an stood. . Mr. PIGOTT maintai❑ed tint the treaty of .815 did ❑ot bind Russia to follow the same course of policy ai Britain chose to adopt. Neither did he conceive that payment of the debt wne now calltd for by the provitioal HOUSE OF COMMONS, JuLr 16. (Concluded from our Second Edition of yesterdiy.) Alderman VENABLES brought up the Report of the Committee on the City of London Police Bill. The Bill was then read a second time. Mr. HEYWOOD presented two petitions from reli gious congregations in Lancashire, in favour of the Go. vernment plan of educ ition in Ireland. O'CONNOR DON presented a petition from a parish in the county of Sligo, in favour of the abolition of tithes. Mr. THICKNESSE presented a petition from Wigan, in Lancashire, against the Vagrant Removal Bill. Mr. EWART moved that each clerk of the peace, treasurer, and town clerk of every county, city, &c., in England, be ordered to make out a return of the number of Irish and Scotch poor passed to Ireland annually since 1820, together with the charges of such removal.. Ordered. Mr. J. HOPE presented a petition from Cupar in Fife, against the Factories Bill. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Belfast, signed by the President of the Chamber of Commerce and the principal merchants of that city, complaining of the practice of the Irish Court of Admiralty allowing sea❑ en to detain ships for the purpose of extorting money. After some observations from Mr. Rtyrtivax and 31r. Hums the petition was ordered to be printed.
