INFANTS' SETTLEMENTS.

Mr. MA LINS moved for leave to bring in a bill to
emble infants, with the approbation of the Court of
Chancery, to make binding settlements of their real and
personal estate on marriage.
Agreed to.

THE VIENNA MISSION.

Cal. surrtioßP moved for an address for returns of

the expenses of the Secretary of State for the Colonie,,
with regard to his lordship's mission to Vienna ane con-
ference with the other missionaries of France, Austria,
and the Sublime Porte, there assembled for negotiation
and treaty with Russia for the restoration of peace. Of

the number of attendants attached to his lordship on

that important mission, the separate allowance to each in
any employment or occupation on this mission from
Great Britain, the date of appointment of his lordship,
the period of departure from this country, the number
of days absent on such duty, the date and period of his
lordship's return to it, and full, clear, and distinct ac-
count of all expenses chargeable to the public, from the
commencement to the latest possible period at which the
present return can be made up. And, if any salary, re-
ward, or other allowances are intended to be called for,
now or at any future period, with regard to such mission.
He (the gallant colonel) understood that the noble lord
had taken with him no fewer than 32 persons, male and
female. It was from a sense of public duty, and not
from any feeling of :Lure private curiosity, that be moved
for these returns; and he hoped that the noble lord
would without any mental reservation state everything
openly and fairly. (Laughter.)
Viscount PALMERSTON objected to the return on
the ground that it was wholly without precedent, and
could only have been intended as a vote of censure. The
expenses of the mission would in due course be laid
before the house, and would have to be voted in' the civil
contingencies of the year. It would then be found that
they had been by no means beyond the ordinary and
usual amount. The house was aware that, in cases of
this kind no salary whatever was allowed the ambassa-
dor, and no payments were made to him beyond his
bare expenses. Not the shadow of a reason had been

given why the motion should be agreed to, and he (the
noble lord) trusted that it would receive no consideration

from the house. (Hear.)
Colonel SIBTHORP had only discharged his duty,
and it would be for the public to draw their own infer-
ences from the answer of the noble lord. The Govern-
ment were afraid to lay the expenses of the mission
before the house ; and it was a low underhand sort of
business. (Great laughter.)
The motion was witkdrawn.
Tile orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at a quarter to one.

TENIPBRANCE BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT.—The number
of persons apprehended by the Newcastle police on the
charge of drunkenness during the twenty-six Sundays
prior to,, the operation of the new Beer Act was 271 ;
during the twenty-six Sundays subsequent, 32G; increase,
55. We have been favoured with these figures, says
the Gateshead Observer, by Mr. Dunne, the Newcastle
superintendent, and if we are entitled to draw any infer-
ence whatever from this result, as to the consequences
of that measure, it is that Parliament has hit upon an
effectual method of increasieg the amount of Sunday
drunkenness.
