Lord St. LEONARDS said he had given notice of his intention to call the attention of their lordships to the Turner collection of pictures, but he had not named a day on which he wonli bring forward his motion. Lie now begged to inform the house that it was his intention to bring it forward on Monday next. LAW OF LIBEL. Lord CAMPBELL said that being unexpectedly enabled to attend their lordships' house to-day he begged to give notice that on account of the approach ing dissolution of Parliament it was not his intention of proceeding further this session with the select com mittee that bad been appointed by their lordships to con sider how far the privilege of giving publicity to the pro ceedings of the courts of law might be extended to the proceedings in Parliament and other assetntlies. How ever, immediately upon the re-assembling of the new Parliament it was his intention to move that the select committee be re-appointed. He did not suppose that their lordships would be thought to give immunity to the publication of everything that might be spoken at every public meeting. He believed such a proceeding would be in' onsistent with public safety, and destructive of pullc character. He, however, still hoped that the grievances of which j )urnalists complained of would be, to a certain degree, ameliorated. There were, how ever, certain publications which he thought might be placed on the same footing as publications of the pro ceedings of the law courts. It Ras poseible that tuch a definition might be given to the law of publication as would enable the privilege to be generally applied. The present state of the law was greatly mit gated by the fact that juries only give nominal damages in certain cases. Very recently it an action of libel were taken, and a far thing damages were returned, full costs were given, which encouraged pettifogging actions to ho brought for the sake of costs. At present, unless substantial damages were given, no costs were allowed. In actions arising from libellous publications the law might be fram ed so that if no real injury had been sustained the costs of the action should tall upon the party bringing the action. Also that if only nominal damages were given, power might be given to the judge to order not only that no costs be paid to the plaintiff, but the plain tiff might be ordered by the judge to pay the costs of both parties. These subjects however could be referred to the select committee. For the purpose of expediting the proceedings of the committee, he would also move that the standing order be suspended which required the oath to be administered to witnesses at the bar of the house. It would be much more conuenient that the select committee should have the power of admin istering the oath to the witnesses. Lord MONTEAGLE concurre I in the latter observa tion of the honourable and learned lord and sug gested that a select committee of the house should have the same power and privileges in respect to sum monirg and 87f aring witnesses as the committees of the other house of Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR doubted much whe ther the present system of swearing witnesses at the bar of the house could be ahered without an Act of Pailta meet. AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY. The Earl of DERBY said that, having been informed that the second reading of the Income Tex would be tak..n on Monday, he hoped the nobly lord (Albe marl ), who had a motion on the paper for that day, would postpone it in order to afford him an opportunity of bringing forward the motion of which he had given notice. The Earl of ALBEMARLE said he would postpone his motion until Friday. PERSIA. Lord SOMERFIILL rose to move for copies of any correspondence that may have taken pace between the Court of Directors and the Board of Contro!, or between the Board of Control and the Trea=ury, respecting the , prop-rtion of the cost of the war with Persia to be charged upon the Indi to revenue, or relating to the ways and means by which provision fur such t x;enditure is to be made in India.

TILE FOUNDLING HOSPITAL.

In reply to some observations of Sir A. CAMPBELL on the motion of the adjournment of the house to Monday, Lord PAL NIERSTON said that he objected to _ the motion because he did not intend to make the usual motion of adjournment that night, because it would be convenient for the despatch of business that the house should meet to morrow at one o'clock for a short time to pass some bills. With regard to the question stated, it was very inconvenient that members should dis cuss the terms of a treaty of which they were not in possession, and which bad not been ratified, from its being likely to have an injurious bear ing on the subject. He should not follow the hon. mem ber's eximple by stating anything in regard to the treaty, but with reference to the great inconvenience that had arisen from the practice that prevailed in Persia, under which foreign missions were entitled by prescription, to exercise protection over Persian subjects now actually employed in the British service. It was most desirable for the permanence of friendly relations with Persia that the practice should be discontinued and that the Government would be happy to renounce all protection in conjunction with other friendly powers with Persia. _ _ _ Mr. LA.YARD said he concurred in what hal fallen from the noble I)rd with reference to this protection. He asked the noble lord whether the terms that had been accepted at Ellis were not similar to those offered at Constantinople last year, and whether, in fact, Persia was willing to give more then than she now had at Paris. Lord PALMERSTON said that the treaty concluded at Paris was better than anything they were likely to ob tain by the Constantinople negotiations. The negotia tions at Constantinople were nut broken off by the Eng lish ambassador there but by Feruk Khan. CHINA. In reply to a queltion from Sir H. WILLOUIIBY, Mr. L3I3OUCLIERE said that by the !act accounts from China tranquillity prevailed in all the northern ports of China. PETITIONS AGAINST MEMBERS. Mr. VANCE called the attention of the annoyance experienced at the last general tlection by the Irish inernbera from the wholesale petitions that were pre sented against the Irish Conservative members, and a,ked the Government to interfere to preve.nt its recur rence. The motion of the adjournment of the house till Mon day was withdrawn. THE SPEAKER'S PENSION. The house then went into cionitnittee of supply to con sider her Majesty's answer to the address presented to her relative to the rettretnent of the Speaker. Lurd Mo auk in the chair. Lord PAL IIEIISTO.N said that he had to propose a motion to the house to give effect to her Majesty's gr 4 ciuu, message relative to the retirement of Mr. Speaker, and he had to propose that an annuity of 4,000/. per annum—(cheer-?)—be granted to her Majesty with which to pension Mr. Speaker on his retirement from the chair, and ►hat the same shoul take effect from that period, (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously, and the house resumed. ARMY ESTIMATES. On bringing up the report of the committee of sup ply on the army e,tintates. Mr. bTAFFOIII) called attention to the present state of the Army Aledical a-Tamale:A, and stated that the report of his committee in retereuce to it, which bat last sesion, had not been carried out. Mr. PEEL &fended the conduct of the Government in reference to this department. Sir W. WILLIAMS, of Kars, bore testimony to the admiral state of Woolwich Hospital. Miss Nighting.de had recently visited it, and expressed her admiration of its efficiency. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS. Sir DE LACY EVANS called attention to the state of the transports eng tged to convey troops to China. Admiral BERKELEY said that every care bad been taken to procure Efficient ships. THE MEG/ER.A. Sir J. PAKINGTON inquired of the Under Secre tary of WAr if it wail the intention of the Government to give compensation to the officers who had received in jury from the leakage of the Megaera.. Mr. F. PEEL said he was unaple to answer the ques tion. Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that be would re• new big que4tion on a future day. PROFEiSORSHIP OF MILITARY SURGERY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. Mr. COWEN asked the Under Secretary fur War if the Government intend to fdi up the Professorship of Mlitary Surgery in the University of Endinburgh, which bad become vacant by the death of Sir George Ballingag about the end of the year 1355. Mr. PEEL said that it was the intention of the Go vernment t) appoint a successor to Sir George Ballin gall. The arrangements would be completed in a few days. The report was then agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The report on Ways and Means was brought up by Lord MoNcK, and agreed to. The house then went into committee on Ways and Means. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CREQUER a vote out of the consolidated fuud of a sum of 13,000,0001. to cover the supplies voted during the session (in committee of Ways and Means) was agreed to. Tne following bills were read a third time and passed : —The Customs Duty; the Racehorse DatyAct Amend ment ; the Cinque Porte Act Amendment, and the Pam per Maintenance. MUTINY BILL.

The return of the Bank for the week ending February 21st is •not of a character to impart much confidence as to an improvement in money matters. The active circulation continues small, being 18,615,1551., a decrease since the former return of 181,2601. The stock of bullion in both depart- - meets has increased by 145,0301., but is still low, being 10,404,690/. Adopting the test of the author of the " Bank Barometer," we find that the cash in hand of this Bank is 6,264,535/ , while the half liabilities amount to 8,738,0291. This leaves a deficiency of cash in hand of 2,473,4941. ; and no pro-pest can, therefore, be at present entertained of a reduction in the Bank's rate of discount. There can be no doubt that this state of things is acting injuriously on our trade in all commercial relations. The constant influx of Australian gold tends to allay anxiety, and alio prevents the Bank from adopting more stringent measure 3 for check ing the drain of bullion. But it appears to us that European nations must adopt more decided mea sures if they wish to prevent the absorption of silver by the Eastern countries. Tits week 459,3881. of silver has been shipped by one vessel, the Indus, for India, and 325,8461. for China. We cannot, of course, obtain an accurate accaunt of the sums of silver exported to Chilli, but we have some report of the amount sent to India. The quantity of stiver importel from Europe into British India is estimated for the last five years at not loss than 241 millions sterling ; and during the single year 1855-6 more than 10 millions were imported into India. What is t j stop this ? China and India could absorb the whole amount of silver in Europe, and as long as sitter can be purchased in Europe at a profit these countries will continue to buy. It is quite fallacious to talk. of the failure of the silk crop of 1856 us a reason for the exportation of sil ver to the East during the five last years. As to British India especially four millions cif money are absolutely remitted annually- to England through the East India Company, the b dance of profit made to India, to be spent bore, to say nothing of the large incomes derived by individuals from pro perty in India. In fact, before the g 11 dis&overie', the Indian banks coneantly impo:ted galfrom that country ; they now carry on a constant trade in exporting it. Gold is, therefore, drained from this country to purchase silver at the eheape,t continental market for exportation to the East, and as our gold is ex ported Peel's Bill enacts that our paper money should be contracted. The immediate remedy in Europe would, of course-, be to alter the rel itive proportions of gold and silver coins, so OW; the exportation of silver coin might no linger yield a profit. But metallic currency will always present evils. What we require is a domestic circula• ing me dium of paper which will never be subject to ex portation. With such a circulation Briti:l India With e has an circulating reactdue adequate already u in ate most be would be to us a mine of wealth, of which we can scarcely yet form a conception. g m paper eliu m c cur rency e E i v m e ti c o t r h t e at i i n o u r e o a f s silver vof t rneenficeyialliyssufberdinbdYal he Rest India Company, re ceivable for t,xes, and not convertible into gold or silver, at a fixed rate, we s'iould see British India starting into new life, an d i nstead of drawiug away our o fwealth.moneyi pctring into th's country an abundant tide Country Markets.
