secoodl•esdlog of rite Bill is fixed fur Friday fort-
night. _ _

In the House of Commons the adjourned debate
on the plan for the resompti ;;;; of cash payments by
the Bank of England Will resumed soon after five
o'clock, and continued until hue o'clock this morn-
ing, when Mr. Et.t.ten, for the purpose of secur-
ing unanimity to the great principle of the resump-
tion of cast► payments with the least possible delay,
withdrew his Amendment, end the original Resolu-
tions were agreed to witlitim_a division. This de-
cision, though it regulates the priocipte of the mea-
sure, leaves the details open fur future discussion.—
The interest which this great discussion excited
may be estimated in some degree from the re-
markable fact, that of late years there never
has been an instruct in which the gallery of
the Rouse of Commons, and the avenues leading
to it, were at au Early and r late hour so filled by
persons connected with the Stock Exchange. They
Were on the watch for the speeches of those favourite
Mrmlwrs whose PYII t ttt elite they thought would
have the - greatest itifluence uplis public opinion,
and thrl regni.tted their bargains upon the sup-
posed impressino of those rreechti, on the spur of
the occasion, os completely in the lobby as they
eve► did in the course of the day on the Stock
Exchange.

The Stnrk Exchange was as violently avitated
yesterday as on Monday. After an Imam in •lecliue,
Consuls closed at 64, and Bank Stock at 309.

We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday
last. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the preced-
ing day, the discussion on the accounts of Ministers
was continued. On the proposition fora sum of
4d.00,000 francs paid to England, in execution of
• Treaty for redeeming the seizures made by our
army at Bourdeaux, NI. BRUONOT inquired whether
any of the metandise so seized was private pro-
perty, in which case, he affirmed, that it would be
illegal to redeem it with the public money.
The MINISTER or FINANIE replied, that at
Bourdeaux, and in all the towns mitered by the
English army, they had only seized what was ex-
clusively the property of the former Government.
