Sir R. WILSON' see the Honourable Under Secrets+,
of the Colonial Departnieut in hie place, wished to meatless
• statement which had reached him relative to a Gessk fa.
▪ of ilicaame of Biroiska, which, if false, ought to re.
reeve immediate contradiction, •nd, if true, appeared tit
him to rail for redress from the British Government. Tb '
faintly in question, consisting of a man aged 78, with Ida
wife, their three married daughters, and the children of the
latter, snow:Siting In all to fifteen persons, haying been saved
by the Fieurh Consul from the neassacati at Palms, bed tu

pelted to set sail in the la roel in which he had embarked his
family, which was immediately captured by an Algerine
corsair, by wham the persons on board were carried into
Algiers, and sold as slaves, and were now enduring all the
horrors of that condition. He would take that opportunity
of requesting the Honourable Gentleman to add to the pa-
pers which he bad laid on the table relating to the looian
Wendy, the statements of Signor Rossi, presented to Lord
Bathurst in July last.
Mr. WILMOT said, that not one word of information
had reached the Colonial Department on the subject of the
family of Berookn, and the eireamstatires eohnecied with
them, which the. Hon. Member •had mentioned.. As, how.
ever, it was certainly the duty of the Colonial Department
to inquire into such eiectimatances a. had been staled, he
would cense inquiry to he made, and would at the earliest
opportunity give the information which the Hon. Member
requoed. With respect to the statement of Signor Rusai, to
which the Hon. Member had alluded, it could nut now be
produced without considerable iaconsenience, and it did
not appear to him to he at all connected with the object of
the motion for those papers which bad been laid on the table.
The Hon. Member, lie thought, must be sufficiently ac.
quainted with the contents of the statement, to enable hien
to found upon It any ns which be might think proper.
Sir R. WILSON said he feared the Session was now too
far advaaced to admit of any measure being brought for.
ward on the subject. He wished however now to be in-
formed, whether Signor Rossi was banished from the lonise
Island. ?
Mr. WILMOT said he was not considered as under ba.

Mr. CURWEN wished to ask Our Right Honourable Gen-
tleman when it was intended to bring in the Bills fur the
repeal of the taxes which had been giveu up? and as he bad
no wish to take the Ministers by surprise, he would now
state, that it wa. his intention to move an instruction to the
Committee fur repeating the whole of the salt tax.
Mr. CA LCRA FT complained that it was then past five
o'clock, the usual hour for entering upon public business,
and there was not a single Minister in the House, although
there were subjects coming on to which it was neer scary
turn the attention of some of them, particularly of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. Formerly, the public brooneas used
to commence at half.past four piecisely, but five o't.tick
bad been afterwards fixed upon as more convenient; to that
be bad no objection, but whatever time might be found most
suitable, it was necessary, for the convenience of House,
that there should be some hour understood at which they
might depeud upon finding the etiolate's of the Crown in
that House. He wished to mar the lii4ht Honourable Geo-
Gernert whether it was title, an he hail heard, that it was
iutended to give up the whole of the ditty on Scotch sail
Mr. LUSHINGTON said, he was not in the least aware
°fetich an intention.
General GASCOYNE said it would be much better that
the total repeal of the tax should !pi mused for at once, than
near the subject should thus continue to be brought under
.irregular discussion at the end of the Session.
. Oto the motion of Mr. LUSH I NGTON, the Receiver Cc-
ntral's Bill was re-committed.
• he House resumed, and the Report was brought up.
Mr. CA LCRA el' again complained that !here was not a
Nliaister in his place to put forward the public !moans at a
yowler put five tee tick.

know at what hour Hon. G.ntlemeii uppto•te would wish to
have public business cumuli-nee.
Mr. CA LCRAFT arid, that the Right Hon. Gentlemen
might choose their own time fur bins, so that they would
• but keep it.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY proposed half-past •
four o'clock.

Bills, of which there were in the Islet 'Session seventeen

sent a Petileoft, upon which he was to fotiod a motion. He
was not willing to forego his precedence 4xcapt the Speaker

The SPEAKER said, that it was a question upon whirls

was held that it would be desirable to have some arrangement
for bringing tot piddle 114111111 W, 1441.14.1' in the afiermerm.

minded the House, that amendments hod !teen
added in the Committee, and among them isms the
clause of the Right Hum Gentleman, agreeahly to
an instruction to the Committee. After the read-
ing of the several amendment., the question would
be that the Howse do agree • ith the Committee is
the amendments, and the time lor 01,0.111 g the
clause would be wheu he had to put that question of

The amendments were agreed to in succession,

Mr. CUIMEN rose to oppose it, having heard no•

of any gain it would holm; to agriculture—lie he-
hewed that it would occaaion Innen loss—by causing
the inferior English flour to he sent back to the

51r. BRIGHT contended that commence was to lie
considered as well as agriculture. He complained
that the istiportation price was fixed too high. con-
inhering the alteration of the currency, The Noble
Lord admitted that the 75a. then were on a par
with 655. now. He clanited uo far our for the corn
merchant. He only required nu equality to the
administration of the laws. Ile explained ihe / ea.
suitableness and advantage of allowing foreign cm,'

Sir E. ItiN•TCHBULL again upri.ed the clause
as he was hostile to all those speimlalluos whicis
threatened leas to agriculture.
Mr. BRIGHT explained.

Gen. GAS(oYN6 chinned no favour or liberality

He thought it very hard that valisle these rr.ts a 11;i4
