PROMISSORY NOTE BILL.
Mr. CALCRAFT said he rose to give notice that when the
Report on the Promissory Note Bill should be brought up to-
cr.ormw, though he thought it could not., in cousequcuce of the
motion relative to the silk trade being fixed for that day, he would
PO ggest that the Bill should be so framed as to extend the same
tint: to country bankers fur stamping small notes as was allowed
to the Bank of England. Ile should also press the necessity of
issuing commercial exchequer bills. lie did not imagine it could
be done without a distinct clause. By this means he thought
that the country would have the advantage of commercial paper.
DEBTOR AND CREDITOR ARRANGEMENT BILL
The Report on the Debtor and Creditor Arrangement Bill was
brought up and read.
TOBACCO AND SNUFF.

Mr. CALVERT presented a petition front the tobacconists of
the county of Middlesex, London, and Southwark, praying for a
roluction of the duties on tobacco and snuff. lie slid that the
nisrufactucers of tobacco° and snuff had gone to great expense in
procuring machinery for the prosecution of their trade. They
complained that, in consequence of the high rate of duties at present
imposed on those articles, a great temptation was held out to
ainugglers, which injured the legal profits of the fair dealer. By
lessening the duties they would, in his opinion, increast the con-
sumption; and by that means would benefit the trader, with.
out decreasing the revenue. The decrease of and shilling per lb.
it the duty of tobacco hut year had that effect. The duty on wir.e
continued at too high a rate ; if the duty on that commodity had
been reduced further, instead of only 24., the good effects would
soon be apparent. Government were aware that the duty on wine
bad been too great ; they knew it to have been greater than it could
bear ; but the reduction which they made was insufficient • it could
not produce so extended an advantage as if they had gone
further. _ . .

..Mr. RENNET was convinced that to lessen the duty on tobacco
retold have the direct elect of increasing the consumption.

Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said That the petitioners were a
highly respectable body of men. The reduction of ts. per pound on
the duty of tobacco was of consequence. He hoped the Government
wool t, in the present unfortunate aspect of affairs, pay every at-
test of to the commercial interests of the country. He hoped
that the Right llonourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer would
commode a reduction of this duty.
Sir R. k'ERGUSSON said that he had a correspondence with
official persons on the subject of those duties, and the impression
ou his mind was, that the duty of Is. per pound on tobacco would
be dropped altogether. He would be happy to be informed by the
Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
whether it was his intention to withdraw that duty or to con-
tinue it.
The MIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
answer he had hitherto given to such questions at that now pro-
posed to him, and that which he telt himself called upon to give in
the present instance, was, that he reserved information on those sub-
jects for his statement of finance. •
PAROCHIAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.
Mr. 0. DAWSON mowed fora return of the state of parochial
education in Scotland—Ordered.
Mr. WODEHOUSE moved for leave to bring in a bill to
uthorise the amendment of the Gaol Act..--beteee granted.
EAST INDIA JURY ACT. . . . .

Mr. WILLIAMS WYNN moved for leave to bring in a bin to
vegetate Juries in India. As the law stood at present, by the con.
struction of the Supreme Court in India all but British Pubjects
were excluded from Juries. He would glee the moat extended in.
terpretation to the kw. He would consider all persons born in the
Pettish dominions British subjects. The Supreme Court in India
gave a contrary interpretation or the law on this point, and it there.
fore became necessary to set that interpretation aside by amending
the law itself. There was a large proportion of the population,
denominated the half.east, who were excluded from being summon.
ed oh juries ; besides these, there were the illegitimate children of
European parents, who were excluded. Could any one suppose
that this was consistent with British legislation? He wished to see
this state of &it' ga changed, and a better substituted. Ilia object
was to admit ell wood and sufficient persons to serve on juries in In-
dia. That would esubrare all those who ought to serve, and ex.
elude none but such as Would any where else be excluded for good

Mr. CAI/CRAFT said, that in the debate cm the Navy Esti.

thought pec..iiiirly hard on them, while the regulation did not ex.

sine 3LA ND GARDENS.—Our readers are already
aware that this favourite place of resort has, since the
struction by fire of the tavern attached to it, passed into
the hands of the South London Water-works Company.
IVe are glad to learn, that the directors of that body have
with a praiseworthy attention to the wishes of the public,
come to the resolution of restoring the establishment upon
an improved and more attractive scale, reserving for the
erection of their new water-works that portion only of the
grounds which had formerly been occupied by nut-houses.
The building of the water-works is, we understand, on the
eve of commencement. The water is to be raised from the
Thames on a plan not hitherto adopted, and which con,-
blues greater purity with copiousness of supply. Tee
steam-engines of tiO horse power each are to be ernml,
and the water will be forced as far as the summit of Brix-
ton-hill, where a piece of ground, several acres in extent,
has been purchased for the formation of a reservoir.
Monday, in consequence of a communication received
from the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, a meeting
of the different 11Iercantile Associations in this town took
place, when it was agreed to send a deputation to co-operate
with the one from Manchester, in soliciting the Govern-
ment for the loan of exchequer hills in aid of the present
commercial embarrassments.—Lirerpool Advertiser.

A subject of great importance is engaging the attention
of the principal merchants and capitalists of the City. 1:
is stated that the Bank Charter allows that establishment
to lend money on goods, and it is confidently asserted that
the Ministers arc urging the Directors to come forward
with some measures which might be put in active operation
for the relief of the public distress, in which measures the
Ministers would co-operate.—Globe.
We have been favoured with the following ropy of a
letter from en Officer serving as a Volunteer in the Grill:
army:—

" Camp of St. Anne's. near Lepanto, Jan. 17, 180.
" I take the first opportunity of writing you the account of the
late victory.- On the 12th there was a sharp skirmish, in which
the Turks lost a number of their best men and officers, and fell
back to the village. About seven o'clock nest morning the cot•
test began with the outposts, which fell back into line. A large bode
of Alatnclukes were charged by our cavalry. headed by Colossi
Aleston, and totally routed. Our riflemen in front picked out the
officers as they advanced to their post. Our artillery was served
by French and English volunteers, who had orders nut to fire till
the Turks were within 200 yards. The enemy now entleasoureil
to turn our left wing, but were received at the point of the bayonet
by General ball.yette, our second In command. The battle now
raged along the whole line with the must deadly fury. The village
of St. John was three times taken and retaken, with great slituste-
ter ; their second in command tell in the last attack, when they
gave up the contest, leaving 800 dead on the spot, besides priVneri
and wounded. (leneral Comas, at the head of the Corinthian bri-
gade, carried the village of St. Anne's. and ordered a general snack
