The title of the Bill, which was "to regulate

Mr. WILSON begged, in allusion to what he had
said on a 'turner night, and which wes but imper-
fectly heard at the time, to repeat, that he nude no
complaint of the seignorage of the gold coin; he
only meant to say, when air Hon. "Jetliner talked
of the Bank's coming from paper pounds to paper
counters, that no injury to the public of the kind
alluded to had taken place by the issue of the silver
coinage under the denomination of Bank tokens.

GENERAL GOURGAUD.
Mr. FREDERICK 001111.:EAS--" I wish to ask the
floo.livoilon4o opposite a question respectiog the
removal of a foirign Gentlemen, a shop tune past,
under the provisions of the Alien Act. With the
policy or motives for tlut removal I have no con,.
earn whatever; but two circuinstinces which have
been siiiikeii of as COtilwetrd with this removal, re-
quire, to my opinion, some explanation. I have
that the Gentleman to whom I allude ea-
laeastal a WWI to be carried before the Privy COpa-
ell. Was this the fact ? It is also said, that his
!untruths sintl paper. were detained iit the office of
the Home Department, where they were settled,
and that they were afterwards transmitted to the
iareer. By whose authority were they, in the first
nub:ll,o.. detained, reel afterwards restored ?"
Ma. Iletstett CLIME—" With respect to the re-
ported implication of the foreign Gentlemen to be
brought before the Privy Council, it has been stated
to ira• by the parties whir apprehended him, that he
made 110 such upplication. The persons who were
sent to Mtn, were particularly directed to attend to
slay wish he alight express, according to the terms
of the Act of Parliament. The wily wish I under-
stood I.e expressed, was to he brought before a
and before that Magistrate he was
talc". With respect to his pipers, they were
brought to the Office of the Home Department;
thry were stibsequently forwarded to hien, accord-
tog to the directions be gave fur that purpose. It
was afterwards said, that lie compleined of the seals
ben% broken. But Lord :inbound' wrote to the
ileum's through whom they were sent at Harwich,
.Cuxhaven, and Haitiburgli. and from each, in sue-
etssiiiii, up to the Post-office messenger at Haul-
burgh, who put them into the owner's actual !lauds,
was the same reply sent to his Lordship's itiquoy,
namely, dist the package was delivered to him to
the envelope with the Goren:meta seal, and that
lie sent he would not opal, except in the presence

Mr. FRED. DOUGLAS—" War not the portfolio

Mr. H. Ctivx—" I returned it, or sent it fOr-
ward to the owner in the same state in which it
originally came to the office."
Mr. F. DOUGLAS—" 'nom it underwent no
amirietiou ?"
Mr. 11. CLive.--" It went back to the owner in
precisely the same state in which it aye brought,
except with the addition of a paper cover, fastened
with the Government seal."
OXFORD PETITIoN.
On the motion of Mr. %FYN N the arliourued de-
bate on the Oxford Petition was resumed.
Sir A. PIGcOTT said there could be no doubt that
this was sn Electron Petition. It complained of an
undue election, effected by bribery, through the di-
rect nyterpoeitiou of a Peer in Perliaineut. fur
House, therefore, by the Act of the 10th of
George 111. had no other course open than to treat
it as
saii Election Petition. Nothing could be
Wore importeot, he thought, than toe full pre-
servation of the powers of the Act of the loth
George 111. These should be preserved umm.
paired, anal such a Petition as this should he im-
mediately considered as au Election Petition, and
sew other.—( Hear.)
Mr. ,DENNAN said, that after the consideration
he
shad given this subject since he had presented the
Petit , lie was ready to view it in the same light
as the !lon. and Learned Gentleman. Ile, there.
lure, wished to withdraw the Petition, fur Ilse pur-
pose of enabling the Petitioner* to make their own
clrcntttt of the course they should wash to take.
Mr. GANSER concurred with the 1100. and
Learned Gentleman (Sir A. Piggott), that the
House could not properly take coginz ince of the
Petition so the yammer it was presented.
The Siresiteit surd, that in all cases of Election
Petitions the course was, to fix at the petiod cii
pr.-writing them se: early day fur taking them into
consideriaistm. Tbrii the parties, were aiut.iit liberty
to withdraw theta, unless lir a crimplias.ce with two
,particular Acts. If this Petition dropped, the lair-
lie* would have time, if they pleased, before
day Hest, to present r. new one in the uspal form to
the Hlotare.
?Ir. 's' 'titz express. d himself
silecidedly of opi-
frm that this was act E'er:tire, Petition. Ile held
to be the proper 'tame of a Petitino agegiog
I .cts, "bleb, if tttttttttt would render an Election
null and void ; and this Petition charged the Doke
of Marlborough with corruptly procuring the
.re-
Imo rifGeneral 51..144111 It ought, therefore, to
be treated as an Pre . Petinjou. He thought
las understood f tier HOU. arid Learned Mover
(Mr. De ttttt ati) that the parties would make moldier
erfartto petition to as sunder glimmer. He did nut
like this coutse fur an
sEiection Petition ; where
the witnesses could be esmniiiell - repo', oath, the
matter could alone be properly impaired into.
Mr. Asir/live believt) said, that !lidos Petition
were now not to be withdrawn, perhaps the Peti-
tioners *multi refuse to cuter Into the ilret-sipry
rt-
; the 4:timid:aim must fa.l to

grainy!. lie thought s Committee of Privilege
could better make the istquiry, fur they would he
hound to puke a special Itaport, amid to make it

openly.
Mr. 11. I3ATtlussr said, he was 1111,1111111, to
prolong the conversation on the subject, winch
had already run to some length. The doctrine
was not true that a precise form of word. was tweet-
vary, in order to send a Paitinn to an Election
Committee; it hail been frequently decided other-
wise. Enough had been stated in the Petition to
accuse the Noble Duke of being an agent for
others. Corruption and bribery were alleged, and
if such allegations were proved before an Election
Crrionsittre, the election would be reported to be
void. It was not for him to say what entire the
Douse should pursue, were the question brought
before t;iens properly as a breach of privilege. The
present was no question of discretion—the law was
imperative upon the course to be pursued—the
Petition must go before that tribunal the law had
marked out. and could not be withdrawn.
The question " That the Petition do lie on the
table," was then pot, and carried unanimously.
The SPEAKER then observed, that in order to
render the proceedings ol• the Douse on the Peti-
tion intelligible, it would be crolvenient that the
motions should be preceded on the Journals by an
explanatory Resolution. viz.—" That it does ap-
pear that the Petition to which the motion related
was a Petition complatioing of the undue return of
a Member to ►erve in Parliament fur the city of
Oxlind."
Mr. BANKEE moved a Resolution to the above
effect, which was carried unanimously, and Tues-
day, the 9th March, at three o'clock in the after-
noon, was fixed for taking the said Petitiou tutu

consideration.
CARE OF FNS MAJESTY'S PERSON.
On the motion of the UnANCEI.I.OII, of the Ex-
CHEQUER. the Bill for tlw Care of his Majesty's
Person (*lnch passed the Uptuer House) was read
a first bane, and ordered to he read a second time
on Thursday next. The Right Hon. Gentleman
said he chose that night for the second reading,
because a Noble Friend of his (Lord Castlereagh)
hail given notice of a bon on the Windsor Eats-
blitliment for the same night, and the order for
the second reading might comentently precede that
motion.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

The Order of the Day to ihoi effect having
beet' read, the House resolved itself into a Com-
mittee of Supply.
In the Communes-, Sir G. WAIMENDEa rove to
move the annual vote of stamen. He said, that it
was lost intruded to make any augmentation to the
isundwr of men voted for last year. By putting
the travel force into a state of increased actirity, it
was considered that the same number as that of last
year would suffice for the different services to
which they should be applied. He should there-
fore move—
" That it is the opinion of this Cummitee that twenty
thousand tufo be granted to his Majesty for the sea service
for thisicen loner months, from the lst kirJanuary, 1019, in-
cluding .is thousand Royal Marines."
On the question being put by the CHAIRMAN,
4 Nemiirr, whose some we could not learn, said
lie thought that a fit opportunity to ark the Hon.
Member whether any measures were in the con-
templation of Ins Majesty's Government far the
lessening or removal of the hardships of impress-
ment ? Under the authority of that mode of sup-
plying the navy, poor men were suddenly and for-
cibly taken away from their homes and families,
without any opportunity of invoking the protection
of the law, which left that class of men alotte de-
fenceless. He should be extremely happy to hear
of any plan tending to remedy such a great evil,
either altogether or partially.
Sir G. WARREND6R said, he should he very
glad to give the Hon. Member any iirformation
his power. The question was one of the greatest
importance to the country, and on such a question
he was sure the Hon. Member could not expect
any other reply than that it was one to which the
attention of Government had been directed with
the utmost anxiety, and that they were sincerely
desirous of introolucong any practical improvements.
Hut on a subject of so momentous and delicate a
shame, lie hoped he should be excused for not
holdirig out hopes of any material change in that
the ancient system of the country, especially as
the Him. Geodleinati who put the question twist
have bees, aware that it would be a matter of ex.
time difficulty to point out any other method
for recruiting our navy, not subject to even greater
evils than the existiog one.--(llear.)—flut it
should not be forgotten that means had been re-
sorted to, to procure a voluntary supply of men for
the navy ; that a registry had been instituted, and
scone startler kept on half-pay with that view. He
was sure the Hon. Gentleman, seeing the delicate
situatiou lie was placed in, would nut wish hint to
commit I self further.
The Resolution was Mien agreed to.
The billowing votes were then severally made
A :noel of 545,0001. fur payment of the above men, for the
above tune, at the rate of 21. 3s. tI.I. a man per mouth.
5111,0001, for victualling, at the rate of Si. a Mil per

month.
111,1tuo1. for ordnance on hoard she ships in which she
above vitro shall wive, at the rate of Is. a mass Imer month.
Lord PALMERSTON Said, he should then move
but for a small part of the entire Estimate for the
Arnie .Services. The Noble. Lord then moved—
" Vitt it is the opinion of this,Cousessittee, that a seat of
one million sterling he grantvil to his Majesty towards de-
fi eying lime chariXv of his Majesty's land forces, including
the rilinnilita .vvving is the Mediterranean, and.exctasi+e

Mr. CAM:RAFT said, be should be glad to know

Government had been enabled to continue the

to know how the pay for the interval was supplied.
Lord I'.Aam6tory:4 was about to Feisty, bolt was
anticipated by the CHANCELLOR of the lElcm:-
overt, who observed, that as the Han. Member's
observations applied 'to oil pmks of the public: ser-
vice, he should hug Lave to answer them. It was
obvious that if (L, et flilliClit welt' d ill Ills op-
plicatiou uf ate 61411 i to the pesik.kl fur

which it lead been voted, Parliament wrmld be
always obliged to meet previous to the last clay to
which the votes extended. put his 61.tjesty's
Ali-
nisters always conceived they had a power of ay.
plying any slims that might remain, after dischatg-
itig the expestats of the year, to that branch of the
public service for which they had been granted. In
the estiniates, the charges were not made prospec-
tively, but retrospectively, and on that account,
balances in many instances necessarily remained.
and a rosining account was kept up from one year
to another. Ile did not see any irregularity in
thus applying the surpluses of public money, pro-
vided the sums granted were always expended on
that purticular part of the service for which tliry
hail been voted.
The motion was then agreed to.
The VHANiaLLOR of the EXCHEQUER then
moved— _ _

o That it is the opinion of this Committee, that a stm
of 24,954,300 i. be granted to his Majesty, to pay off Ex-
chequer Bills issued by virtue of the Acts passed in the last
5et.,,,,, of Parliament, loaf An Act for raimitz the

- - -

GRENFEp. bald, that two loans had beep
made by the Bank to the public some time since,
and one of them, for three million•, without inte-
rest. He was sure the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Vansittert) would agree, that that loan of three mil-
lord been made in consequence of the investi-
gation that took place into the transactions between
these two parties in the year 1907, and that the
Bank consented to it for the purpose of making the
public sonic compensation for the large balances of
public money that constantly 'clammed in their
hands. At that time those balances were coma

puled at ten or eleven millions. He could refer, in
support of that opinion, to Mr. Perceval's letter,
and to the Member lin Code Castle, *I he was
awry not to see in his place. The period, how-
ever, for which the free luau had been made, ex-
pired in April last, and since that the country have
been paying the Bank for the use of the three mil-
lions ; au that at present, instead of the public
denting any advantage from the large balances re-
raaiuing the Bank. and from which that
body drew a profit of 5 or 0100,0004 a year,
just as any private individual would turn money
left in his hands by another to purposes of
emolument, they were compelled to submit to a
considerable charge for the use of a small part of
them. lie asked the Right HUH. Gentleman how
he could give his assent to such a contract ? He
could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw in the
accounts of the last year 4 per cent, charged ou the
sum of three millions from April, an item of
110,000/. against the public, merely because the
Bank allowed it to draw out of their hands three
millions out of nine of their own money. He mere-
ly threw out those few remarks then, intending to
speak at large on that subject at another opportu-
nity. He should be happy to hear of any arrange-
ment by which lbok large balances could he ren-
dered available and profitable to the public, off
which they were raised.
The CHANCELLOR of the Exchttatiett had not
thought it necessary in the course of the business
then before the House to touch on the subject in-
troduced by the Honourable Gentleman, especially
as so many more suitable occirsithis for bringing it
forward were likely to occur. tie had no hesitation,
however, in saying, that in respect to the three mil-
lions originally lent free of interest, but for which
the public had been paying at the rate of 4i per cent.
from April last, they had been the source of long
disco+sion between the Bank and the Governmerit.
The Government had been long anxious that the
public should derive every posisible advantage from
the unemployed Innis in the hands of the Bunk ;
and lie hoped, in a short time, to be enabled to lay
before the House a plan which would effectually
secure that end, by which all the balances would be
rendered applicable to the use of the public. The
balances had much decreased of late ; last year
they had not been much more than half what they
had at the time the arrangement hod been made.
Whether the plan would have a rttrokipretive ope-
ration, and take in the interval (rout April, hr could
not then take upon him to say. The Hon. Gen-
tleman had, • few nights ago, reminded him of a
sum of eight millions advanced by the J3ank past
year ; and his explanation had not been properly
understood, probably because lie had not spoken
loud enough. About five millions of it had been
paid, and three remained to be wade good out of
.the supplies for the current year.
141r.PREN•Et.t. said it was an immen•e advan-
tage to Abe public, that they should derive the full
benefit of those great balances that before lay with
the Bank entirely unproductive to them. He
thought he could hot be accused of vanity in say
iisg, that that desirable consummation, whenever
brought about, was mainly attributable to his in-
dividual exertions.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he
.bad always expressed an anxiety similar to that of
the /Jou. Gentleman; but his views could riot be
carried into effect without the concurrence arid co-
operation of the Bank. That body had of late
shewn themselves ready to agree to a proper ar-

rimgement.
Mr. I'. MooRE observed. that one point had been
omitted by his Honourable Friend .(Mr. Giro&II),
namely, that the three millions had been lent by
the Bat.* to the public without interest, on condi•
Lion of ten remaining on their bands, forum use of
which they were subjected to no charge. Ile saw
from the Answer of the Hight
.Honourable Gen-
Alessian to a question front his side of the Houses
how the willion of money deficient had Amen
made up. Ministers, it appeared, ,turned any
surplus in their hands, of whatever fund, to
make up die deficiency in imy other builich of
service ; but then what become of the appropriation
Acts, which directed the votes fur each setvice to
tie applied strictly to that, and that only? He
hoped when the Right Honourable Gentleman's
plan was brought forward, to see the public hu•ioess
treenselorteCl at the Exchequer, and tint the Wink.
'lle CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated
his' statement, that the balances of the grants for the
different service•. after deftaynig the expenses of the
year, were iseplied to the same services wily fur the
uext year.

II ereforil, a nem had been iipenlv convicted °fittest-
Mg 'several ferrets, that had been of valise to their
owner. The twelve Judges, however. afterwards
unanimously (their iminiser was the same as that
of the Jury, though hr supposed they were riot like
them starved into unanimity, and therefore took
their °pillion to le the law of the land) had decided
that reclaimed remiss were animals feta/ sutare, in
which a properly could slot vest. As the law *10(01,
therefore, It VIIIA manifestly defective, far lie roul'S

agriculture, how useful and valuable an animal
ferret was, in destroyilig vermin of various kinds,
end parti.:ulkrly that most filthy, noxious, and dr-
atructive creature. the rat—(dluck Inugkier)—which
' it did more effectually than trap, ur snare.
A great poet had told us, that
" All things were made for man's aeLght and use,"
and therefore he proposed that whenever Hoy
of whatever description, become of delight or
use to its master, his law should protect it ; and
when any gentlemen tamed # rat to please and
amuse himself. taught it to run from tithe side of
the house to the other at his bidding. and to entice
others into the same stale of bondage, it was his iii-

such collections were extremely useful in assisting
to teach childreil Isidore' history. At present lie
did not know but Ilat if a thief were to steal the
lion—and who could call him a bast creature ?—it
would merely Ije petty larceny ; the same might he
said of badgers and inoiskies : lie had not 'heard of
any persons stealing such creatures, but it was not
unlikely the fops of the day would be glad to pur.
loin the latter, at least their faces.—( Lataghfer.)
—ln the present state of auciety, lie feared ca-
pital punishment would not be listened to for
offences against his proposed measure, but 'he
intended that the penalty against receiver and
thief should be transportation for the term of seven
years. He intended to delay bringil in his Bill
till that slay three weeks, the Kid k ebruary. in
order to allow all keepers of wild beasts to petition
Parliament in the interval—lllepeorell cries of
" Order !"/—that if it was thought good, their
property might receive the benefit of the Bill.
He was not a man of morbidly nice feelings, hut
he could, notwithstanding, feel fur those per-
sons who had vested their entire substance in
wild beasts, and had by law tin protect,ion against
a mob; fur instance, if they should take it into
their heads to let them all -loose or destroy them.
The Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving
for leave to bring in a Bill for the protection
wild annuals reclaimed, or otherwise, kept as pri-
vate property.
After a little time hail elapsed, the ATTORNFY-
GF.N LEA L seconded the iiiii !too, iii order, lie said,
to bring the subject before the House-.
The question was put and decided in the ne-
gative.
Mr. LAWsoN called for a division.
After souse semarks from Mr. BARHAM and
Mr. W. WYNN, not audible to us, the gallery
was cleared. No division, however, took places but
the motion was for the present lust.
On our re-entering the gallery, we found Mr.

intehtion of resigning his other motion lido the
