Calmed GREVILLE moved an amendment to the effect
that the chief and under secretaries of Ireland
should cease to be members of the Irish Poor.
law Commission. He could not uoderstand on what
*triple they were members of the °Dominion. When
the poor law was rint established in Ireland only one of these
°Moen was • member of the commission. The result of their
sitting on the board was, that they had frequently to review
and to sit as judges upon orders emanating from themselves.
Sir It. PEEL said he could not agree to the amendment
of the bon. member. lie thought it was desirable that there
should be a representative of the poor-law board with a seat
in the Home of Commons, as was the ease in England.
Mr. M'CANN said there was no necessity for having the
nadir secretary a member of the hosed.
Mr. OTERRALL said that Indeed was unfortunately
governed by boards, and he thought it desirable that the
members of the government who had to review the sots of
these boards should not be members of them
Lord NAAS thought it advantageous that both the chief
and under secretaries should be members of the board.

Sir G. GREY said he behaved, u fax u hia right hon.
friend's personal convenience was concerned, he would be
glad to be freed from the duties attending the office, but he
thought it was on the whole desirable that be should be a
member of the commission._ _

The funds are dull today. Consols are quoted
for the.aecount about 1-16 per cent. lower than they

dency of prices has not been favourable. English

for the yearly interest, amounting to 3 per cent.,
and for the total already paid in full.
Gold to the extent of 118,0001. was purchased by
the Bank yesterday. The City of New York has
arrived from New York with 245,0001. in se,'
and' the Suffolk from Melbourne with 142,0001.,

making together 387,000 f. There is still an ab-
senoe of demand for gold for the Continent, and the
accumulation in the Bank is therefore expected to
continue. _ _ _

The amount of gold now on the way from Aus-
tralia to England is 517,0001.
The Liverpool cotton market was again dearer
yesterday, particularly as regards Surat sorts, but
the transactions were upon a less active scale,

years to run from the Ist of July next, and the

A good deal of attention has been directed,
amongst those interested in the reform of mercantile
law, to the movement which is in progress to enable
a creditor to recover a debt, in any part of the
United Kingdom, by the decree of one court. In
furtherance of the movement, the delegates of
fifteen mercantile bodies of England and Scotland
met in Loudon, on the 10th instant, and unani-
mously passed a resolution, that the societies repre-
sented shall unite in promoting a bill, the object of
which will be, that a creditor who has obtained a
judgment or decree in the courts either of England
or Scotland may execute that judgment in any part
of either country. Particular stress is justly laid
upon the strange anomaly that, notwithstanding
the union of England and Scotland, their law courts
treat each other as foreign tribunals, and that no
greater effect is given by,the one to the judgments
of the other than to a decree pronoun by a
court in Russia. The delegates have appointed
three of their number, viz. : Mr. Robert Wells, the
town clerk of Hull • Mr. Matthew Johnson, of
Leeds ; and Mr. George Tod Bathgate, of Edin-
burgh, as a committee to carry out the objects of
the resolution.

holders' deed is now at the bank's office for signa-
