DRUMMOND (DUKE DE MELFORT'S RESTITU-
TION) BILL.
The LORD 011ANCELIAR, in moving the second
reading of this bill, explained that its object wee to reverse
the attainder of the Earls of Perth, who were attainted
in consequence of their having been engaged in
the rebellions of 1716 and 1745. In the first year or
two of the soemelon of James I. to this realm in 1605 he
created a member of the family of Drummond Earl of
Perth, to him and his heirs male. The first person so
created died without issue male, and his next brother sue-
deeded, who WIG himself succeeded by his son, the third
earl, who bed two sow the eldest James, fourth earl of
Perth, who Wow Chancellor of Scotland, end John. He
had several ens. Nee of whom, James, adhered to the for-
tunes of the sailed family of the Stuarts, and was engaged
in the rebellions of 1716 and 1745, and was by act of par-
liament &Heisted. He had two airs, both of whom were
also engaged la the rebellion. The eldest died before the
time tiled foe the surrender, without issue male. That being
so, the party who het for the attainder would b cceeded
was John, the alit brother of James, the Chancellor, and
fourth Earl of Perth. He adhered also to the exiled family;
and there was no act of attainder against him, bet • decree
of forfeiture was passed in Scotland, the effect of which was
similar to an act of attainder in England. He went to
France and was created Duke of Melfort. H. married
twice ; all the children by his first wife died, but by the
second he had • large family, and the Dukes of
Mellon hail NA other for two ar three
generstioas. The heeding had several children, all of when

ARRESTMENT OF WAGES IN SCOTLAND.
Lord BROUGHAM, pursuant to notice, presented a pe-
ndia from certain manufacturers in Glasgow on the sub-
kelt of the laws of arreetmest of wages for debt in Scotland.

He suggested that it should be referred to the commission
now sitting to inquire into the mercantile laws of the

much se possible.
Lord CAMPBELL concurred in the suggestion, but
suspected there would be some difficulty in assimilating the
law between Ragland and Scotland in some respects.
The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed that the proper
course was to refer the petition to the commission now
sitting.
The petition was ordered to lie os the table.
The Earl of HARROW BY presented a petition signed by
the Mayor of Liverpool, se chairman of a public meeting,
embodying the Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, the So-
ciety fur the Promotion of Trade in Liverpool, and other
bodies connected with the trade and commerce of that
place, and assented to subsequently by the mercantile
bodies of Belfast, Bristol, Southampton, Dundee, Ply-
mouth. and other pieces, complaining of the want of assimi-
lation in the mercantile laws of the three kingdoms, and
praying for the establishment of local commercial courts for
the decision of mercantile disputes.

Turning to the other branch of the account, we find
staple proof of the people being still at work in order
to pay honestly--services for aervires—for all these
great importations. The declared value of British
and Irish produce exported in the month of April,
'1833, was no less than 7,378,9101., being 2,309,9951.
more than the declared value of the exports of the
corresponding month of 1852. This is an increase on
the large exports in the month of March; so that the
exports in the four months of the year are 6,125,9701.
greater than in the corresponding four months of the
previous year. The four months for the three years
contained in the tables are as follows:

LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8.

Tue same pleasant tale that has been told now for
many months past by the Board of Trade Tables, is
repeated by the document which gives the returns
to the bth of May, issued yesterday. It is much
easier to enumerate the articles of which the importa-
tion did sot inertia* in the month of April, as com-
pared with the corresponding month of last year, than
to enumerate those which did increase. The articles
not increased were, twine, ashes, Wait; bones,
mos, coffee, cochineal, terra japonica valenia, cur-
rants, lemons and oranges, glass exceeding an inch
thick, flint glass, hemp (including jute, of which the
impartation last year was very large) ; women's
shoes, with cork or double soles; cambric* and
French lawns, copper onwrought, iron in bars, oil
seed eakes, poultry, all kinds of spices, sugar, tea,
foreign deals, wood not awn or split, and alpaca
wool. Of every other article in the long list there is
a considerable increase. More animals of all kinds.—
more corn of all kinds except bans,—more flour;
—more dye stuffs, flax, hides,—almost few
fold more leather,—more boots and shoes and gloves,
—more mahogany, copper ore, oils of all kinds, pro-
visions of all kinds, seeds of all kinds—more silk and
silk manufactures, more spirits, tallow, timber,
tobacco, wine, cotton-wool, lambs'-wool and woollen
manufactures—have been imported. The only raw
material of which there is any falling off is jute,
classed with hemp ; while the important articles of
consumption of which less has been imported, cocoa,
coffee, sugar, and tea, have all, except tea, been
consumed in larger quantities than ever. The
falling off in the consumption of tea is the eonse-
queue of the alteration in the duties, and is already
probably more than compensated by the immense
quantity that paid duty last week,—e quantity little
short of 3,000,000 lbs., or six times the average of
the weekly consumption.
The great continued consumption of coffee and
sugar, in face of diminished importations and dwin-
dling stock, accounts for the rise in the price of
these articles, and warns us that if the supplies can-
not be increased we may look for still higher prices.
Great encouragement is this for our sugar and coffee
growers, who, instead of finding the market over-
whelmed with foreign productions, find it,—though
we have importations from all quarters,—inadequately

supplied. We can say, indeed, that all Europe is
inadequately supplied with coffee, tea, and sugar,
and that a rise in the price of all these articles, if the
present rate of consumption continue, must take
place. Not only was the bulk of our importations
in the month of April unusually large, but they must
continue to be large to supply the people with the raw
materials of manufacture and the means of enjoyment.
The quantities of wheat and flour, hides, &c.,
imported in the four months of the present year,
being greatly in excess of the importation last year,

explain, better than any other facts, the diminution of
the gold in the vaults of the Bank. It has gone to
pay fur these large importations, and for the still
larger importations yet to come. It has
been put to its proper use, for we only need gold
to buy other things, and if we have plenty of wheat
and flour, and provisions, and hides, and silk, and
wool, and cotton, and tea, and sugar, and timber, we
do not need to trouble ourselves about overmuch
gold. These are the articles which really consti-
tute capital, which must be provided to en-
able the artisan to work, and to enable
him to live and enjoy life, and to enable the manu-
facturer, the merchant, and the farmer, to carry on
their operations. Commodities of this description—
not money, which is the mere instrument tot ex-
changing them—are the true basis of all credit; and
when they come pouring into the country, and the
people go on producing other things to pay for them,
there will be no want of loanable capital nor of credit,
though our great privileged mossy corporation should
close its doors tomerrow. All the gold in the Bank
is a mere driblet is value compared to the millions of
quartars of corn, aid the thousands of hundred-
weights of sugar. sad the millions of pounds of tea,
and multitudes of bales of silk and cotton, and other
goods which ere recorded in the Board of Trade
tables, as brought monthly into the country.

The increase in the month extends nearly over the 1
whole of our exports. The only articles in which
there is a slight decline are lace and patent net, fish,
unwrought leather, cut iron, wrought copper, un-
wrought tin, salt, silk twist and yarn, refined
sugar, wool, and woollen yarn. In every other
article, in all the staple productions of the coun-
try, in all our profitable manufactures, there is a
great increase.

There is reason to suppose that the increase of
imports and of exports about balance each other, and
as all that is imported is consumed or worked up, as
nothing is wasted, as men are labouring diligently
while they consume both here and abroad, we may
be sure that the mutual exchange is mutually pro-
fitable; and assuming, therefore, its perfect sound-
ness, we believe that such a rapid extension of
healthy trade was scarcely ever witnessed in the
world. A rise in the corn markets, the natural and
necessary consequence of the unfavourable season,
suggests to those who wish to believe evil, the speedy
interruption to our prosperity; but we must remind
the public that the last advice. from America were
that the price of corn was receding—though Ame-
rica has already supplied England this year with
203,647 more barrels of flour, and 1,770,741 more
bushels of wheat, than last year. That the canals in
America are only part opened, and that the Ame-
rican papers speak of very large supplies of grain in
the west ready to come forward. The great impedi-
ment to importation at present is the very high
range of freights and the actual impossibility of get-
ting vessels for the purpose of bringing corn. Com-
plaints of a scarcity of vessels were common in
Egypt, at Odessa, and other places, before there
was any quarrel between Ramis and Turkey,
—the scarcity being entirely due to the ex-
tensive employment for shipping, and to that
change in the art of navigation which has multiplied
steam ships of all kinds without multiplying equally
the class of sailing vessels that have hitherto been
employed in carrying corn. Of the increased employ-
ment for ships these tables furnish evidence. The
total amount of tonnage employed in the foreign
trade entered inwards and outwards, was

and civilians over their cups, likely to pro-
duce in the long run any other than a
cordial feeling between the two, made use
of the power vested in them, and placed
a "veto on the parochial plans. It might have
been supposed that here the question would have
ended. Net so. There arose a third litigant, in the
person of the Earl of ONSLOW, who, rest-
ing his claim on his manorial rights, sig-
nified his intention to stand by the parish and
snub the military. The matter ought to be easily
solved, for the point at issue practically is
whether or not Lord SEATON is to have the means
of restraining the large body of men to be under his
control, and thus be enabled to keep the public
peace. The soldiers will be plentifully supplied with

The ships engaged in the home trade entered
inwards and outwards, compare in the same manner :

A large and continual increase is taking place in
the: quantities of goods carried by sea from one part ,
of the empire to the other, though the railroads are
also carrying increased quantities, which, it was
supposed, would interfere with the employment of
shipping.

The trade tables famish another test of prospe-
rity. They are now accompanied by the quarterly
excise returns, and the quantities of enclosable arti-
cles charged with duty and retained for consump-
tion in the first quarters of 1E162 and 1853 were as
follows :

In all the articles there is a considerable increase
except soap, which is accounted for by the proposed
abolition of the duty on that article having suspended
the soap-boiler's operations. With this extract we
stop,—perfectly satisfied with the testimony borne to
oar present prosperity by the great and simultaneous
increase in the imports and exports, in navigation,
and in the consumption of articles subject to excise
duties.

refreshments in the authorised canteens, where non-
commissioned officers on duty will be stationed to see
that neither drunkenness nor riot take place; and
the orderly citizen will have every facility
afforded him of entering the canteen during the
authorised hours. The prohibition as to erect-
ing public-house booths will be a general be-
nefit, and the prohibition will, doubtless, be
sustained. It would be as well, however, were
similar judicious discipline exercised over the officers
to that which is to restrain the rank and file.
At the very time when this public-house contro-
versy arose, there also went forth a rumour that the
Household troops, with a view of keeping up their
hospitality in proper style, had laid Gumroo under
an embargo. The dismay at the West End, occa-
sioned by this announcement, naturally amounted to
something like panic. Dowagers doubted the sanity of
the Government in forming a camp during the very
height of the London season. The point was a dif-
ficult one. Either ladies must go without their ices
and sponge cake, or the Guards could not be ex-
pected to go through the dreadful hardships of a
field day. Is this the example which the elite of the
British army is to afford their comrades ? Is a supe-
riority in plate, in wines, in sumptuous banquets, the
only pre-eminence worthy of being attained ? It is be-
coming daily more apparent that the system of messing
in the Britisharmy has attainedto a pitch of luxury and
extravagance which must before long prove highly
prejudicial to the service. A "crack regiment" is
not that which goes through its drill most perfectly,
or whose men can best endure long marches, but one
where BUCIMASTER and BOYER would find it difficult
to detect a single fault in the dress or cuisine. To
keep a dog-cart, dress well, drink champagne, and
quarrel with the side dishes, is the present ambition
of the young subaltern; whilst" Bless my soul, it still
wants an hour of mess time" is the frequent cry of
many a veteran. Mess, mess, is the sole conversation.
" What an infernally bad dinner there was yesterday."
" What a wretch the messman is !" " What nice plate
the Tigers have !" " What a soft fellow Joxos is not
to sit to his wine after dinner !" " What a large party
there is to be next guest night," &c., &c., &c. Such
is the present style of conversation in the British
army, and a stranger listening to the young
grumblers who are its subalterns would fancy them
so many Cocaina. Instead of that, many a father's
curse and many a widow's tear accompany the re-
mittances which clear off the mess bills. The
original notion of forming a regimental mess arose
from the best intentions. It was to produce
a feeling of sociability and good fellowship amongst
the officers ; and very stringent orders are laid down
in the QUEEN'S regulations to prevent any abuses
arising. But so strong is this feeling of "doing the
thing in style," that the regulations are a mere dead
letter with most commanding officers. If the com-
manders are married men, they never visit the mess
table. If unmarried, they generally lead the way
in keeping up the name of the regiment,—that is to
say, in giving entertalnmentswhich would do credit

to a ducal mansion. And if Shirrs or BROWN feel
rather uncomfortable at the idea of eating turtle and
drinking sparkling Moselle, whilst their mothers
and sisters find it hard to pay for the roast joint of a
Sunday, they either grow hardened—or get ridiculed
out of the service. Some 30 years ago, messes were
just as hospitable, and a greet deal happier, than now,
but its members were satisfied with a plain gentle-
manly table—no trophies of flower-vases, no curi-
ously-cut decanters and cyphered glass ; no grand
chandeliers, or rich patterned carpets. Yet the men
who sat there kept up the English name in a man-
ner which may be equalled but cannot be surpassed.
The present vicious course of things will not mend
itself. Some few may set themselves against it,
but everything at the present day tends so strongly
towards a luxurious style of living that military
reformers find themselves put down by large mess.
table majorities. For anything decisive to be effected,
orders must be given by superior powers, and the
formation of the Camp at Chobham is an opportunity
which should not be overlooked. Commanding officers
should ()Bray that no one belonging to their regi-
ment has been called upon for more than eight days'
pay towards his annual subscription, and that at no
time have extraordinary claims been made to pur-
chase any mese property ; that the rate of messing
bpsysedimal to the income of the poorest in theeyi•
sent, and that the amount of government allowance
is stristly expended according to its original per.
These are all matters laid down in kw
regulations, yet are they daily and hourly
Istraged. How often are officers called upon tom
sutra subscriptions for a thousand and one luxuries,
Ishii& might easily be dispensed with? How often
de regimental balls, &Yellows, theatricals, &c., all
he loans on the agents? How often does champagne
and hock pass round a table where not one of the
members or guests would obtain anything at their
own homes beyond bitter beer and a glass
of port ? How often is the Government allowance
of twenty-five pounds per company spent in plate or
furniture, instead of narrowing the subalterns' wino
bill. These facts are notorious throughout the whole
army, and the authorities cannot plead ignorance of
them without pleading ignorance of the service also.
Yet arc they the chief causes why so many young
men appear " gazetted out" on Tuesday and Fri-
day nights. The men may stand it for a year or
two—some even get on as far as their company ;
but in the long run it is more than their friends can
afford, and a series of guest nights, tankards of claret,
and the general finish of 100, give a large portion of
the promotions in the army. To Lord SEATON, the
able lieutenant of our Great Captain, we commend
the subject, with the fall hope that not only this
manoeuvring of regiments, but their internal eco-
nomy, will gain from him the strictest scrutiny at
Chobham.

Soya of our foreign friends are fond of saying
that we Englishmen convert the maxim Eat to Live
into Live to Eat. Many an English visitor to Paris,
to Vienna, and some other places may be able to give
ample reasons why such reproaches should not be
cast upon us. Still truth must at times be told, and
here, at this hour, we find our modern Spartans who
are to be encamped at Chobham already giving tes-
timony of the most flagrant kind against our national
good sense and rational temperance. It would ap-
pear that already in relation to the new camp the
eating and drinking questions have come uppermost.
The first sign of this is afforded by a dispute
between tho most worthy inhabitants of Chobham,
the Lord of the Manor of Chobham, and the
Horse Guards. The first of these parties, animated
by the most disinterested motives, have been unable
to see anything in a national encampment but a
temporary fish floated by good luck towards their
parochial nets, and accordingly the parish authori-
ties advertised far and wide their willingness to
accept payment from tavern-house keepers, victual.
lers, and others, for permission to erect booths on
the cheerless surface of Chobham-heath. The
parish wanted to make a profit out of the eating
and drinking. The Horse Guards, represented by
Lord SEATON, being aware that drinking houses of
any description, uncontrolled by the military power,
would occasion a confused intermingling ci soldiery
