have taken degrees at Universities in England and Ireland
to be entitled to be admitted after three instead of five
years.—Leave given.
BILLS or Exeirmsac—Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW then
moved for leave to bring in a bill to regulate acceptances,
&c. of bills of exchange. The existing law was imperfect.
as questions had arisen whether the detentiou of a hill
was nut equivaleut to all acceptance, and such like fauci-
ful opinions.
Mr. SCARLETT was prepared to support the bill, for
where there were doubts it was desirable to remove them.

Motion agreed to
ORDNANCE OFFICERik &c.—Mr. HUME then tow for
the purpose of briuging forward his maim] respecting the
propriety of disqualifying certain persons holding offices
nuder the ordnance from voting for members of parlia-
ment. lie did not desire to deprive persons of their
rights, lie only wished to impose that condition which the
Ruckiugham Act warranted—if you accept such and such
places you shall not exercise time elective franchise.—
(Hear.) He concluded with moving fur leave to bring
In a bill to disfranchise persons holding certain offices in
the ordnance department. lu the coarse of his statement
the 1100. member mentioned, in support of his charge,
that persons who had lung been engaged in the ordnance
department were removed to make way for Queetiburo';
that an individual aged 7V, had been superannuated, and
be was succeeded by • freeman, aged 74 and such a
change took lilac', notwithstanding tuere was a circular
from the ordnance office, setting forth that no person,
above the age of 40, should be deemed qualified to take
a situation in this department.
Mr. BERNAL seconded the motion.
Mr. WARD strongly opposed the motion. Ile denied
that a case had bees made out to warrant it. In
his own udice there was little political feeling; but there
arts one clerk who was a staunch radical reformer.—
althous,h his peculiar opinions were sometimes mentioned,
he (Mr. W.) took no further notice than to enquire whether
the individual was a good clerk ; and dm being answered in
the affirmative, be kit the individnul to the employment °ibis
opinions.
Col. Davis and Mr. P. Moore supported the motion.
Mr. 'TIERNEY thought the proposition of his hon.
friend went too far, as it would enact the ordnance every
where. if the bill was brought in, he should prepose as an
atuendnielit to confine it to Queetibbrough only.
The house then divided, when the numbers were—For
Mr. Hume's motion 60—Against it lift— Majority
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that
the report of the Bank Cult Payments Bill he brous,ht up.
Mr. PURSE raid it was proposed to issue sovereigns in
their stead; but with respect to what had fallen from the
hoe. gent. it was iuteoded to keep a supply of one pound
notes in readiness, so that either with these or with sove-
reigns, the exigencies of the country circulation toted be at
ull times satisfied.
Mr. J. SMITH considered this explanation highly im-
portant, and was sure that it would at once quiet tne alarm
which had been felt.
The report was then received, and the third reading of the
bill fixed fur Friday.
The timber dutitsbill was read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Monday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and

He feared the country wadi, be long before such crime
was got rid O. The bases from forgeries were enormous.
and they chiefly fell upon small tradesmen. Accoeding
to returns, about 21,000 forged notes hail beeu anansally
presented at the bank. 'fur loss mainly fell lie repeated,
on the uusll tradesmen; and how immense a snot they
must have yearly lost !—Surely then it was most desirable
.to get rid of what tempted to the commission of such ea=
tendert crime. The severity of the punishment had done
nothing; fur since 181* the crime had InCreased three-
fold iu the country, and seven fold in the capital 8o
flinch bail been accomplished by severity of punishment!
Ile hoped the history of what bad passed would deter
the house and the country from being again driven to se
dreadful a system by any momentary pressure. (Cheers.)
That system had made spendthrifts of the goveremeet
it had destroyed the property of the country. The blush
alone bad been gainers by it; they had divided 25,600,0001.
lie grudged Orin those profits—feeling how much crime
and suffering the system had occasioned.
Mr. CHIN'S expressed the opinion, that the commerce
of the country could not be carried on without notes.—
Coin alone would not be sufficient for the business of the
nation. As to the proposed clause, if there were any
doubt on the 'object, he hoped the lion. member would
not be prevented from proposing the clause.
Mr. PEARSE adverting to the promised new soli he
said one system had been abandoned. The reaeldiary
was complex, bat it was found that the notes were sus-
ceptible of considerable imitation. Hut though that aye-
tem bad been abandoned—he did not despair of nefes
being produced that it would be extremely difficult to
intitaie.—(Hear.)
Mr. MONCK attributed ell the evils that had resulted
from the euspeusion of cash payments to the batik, and
the bank alone. It was unfortunate for the bank as well
as the
.conutry—but to the 'souk he attributed all the
blame.
Mr. T. WILSON said, that the conduct which bed
been pursued regarding the bank was the madam, of
wise men. Were the bank to have cootiented payments
till they were drained within a fete Tire faith
of the country. was to be kept, and it was prudent to take
such measures as to enable that faith to be kept. He
thought most erroneous views of the tranaamious had
been taken.
Mr. RICARDO followed, contending that the beak ought
to have continued paying in cash as loug as possible.
After some further discussion, On bill was read a third
time and pasted.
THE AILEY ESTIMATES...4IIe hustle them west iete a
committee ofsupply, and
Lord PALMERSTON proceeded to move the resale/rig

After some discussion strangers were ordered to withdraw,

grJund of impeachment of the Noble Lord, aad yet
so used to view the frequency of innovations of the
most essential privileges of our constitution is that
Honourable House, that the motion for referring
this mart important document to a committee of
privileges was negatived on a division, by a majority
of 49 when only 115 Members were present. The
petition was accordingly ordered to " be laid on the
table—id est, to become a part of the perquisites of
the sweeper, and hereafter to furnish tailors' mea-
sures for some of the progeny of the present genera.
tion.

The first meeting of the society for the establishment
of a Seamen's Hospital, wok place at the City of London
Tavern on Wednesday, the Lord Bishop of Chester in
the chair, supported by Lords Kenyon, Gambier, and
Calihorpe, and a number of gentlemen connected with
the King's and the mercantile naval service.
Tire Right Rev. Chairman opened the business of the
day by a panegyric upon the Institution, and by calling
upon the Honorary Secretary to read a report recom-
mendatory of the object of the fleeting.
The report stated, that the coo 1111 l Mee for managing
the funds subscribed in the late winters of the two past
years, for the relief of distressed and destitute seamen,
who were found in the streets or the metropolis, had as-
certained, that there were in the course of the year in
the port of London from 700 to 800 sick and diseased
seamen, destitute of medical aid ; and it concluded by
rtoominending 11w establishment of a permanent Float-
ing Hospital for their relief. It stated that Rove cut
had given the Gr.aipfa (a two decker) for the purpose,
and enumerated the internal arrangements for the ac-
commodation of poor seamen, and that 3,0001 a year
would set the establishment well afi,at.
The Bishop oiCiaisrsit strongly urged the proprir ty
of adopting the resolutions for the establishment of tha
institution, detailed in the report.
'Lords Kenyon and Calament successively addressed
the meeting in behalf of the institution, and a large sub-
scription was entered into on the spot.
His Majesty, who promised lo send a donation of 50
guineas, and 50 guineas annually, sent a cheque for ion
guineas, and an order to have his name entered as an
annual subscriber for lOU guineas also. Prince Leopold
sent bol. the To miry House tool. the East India Com-
pany tool the Royal Exchange Assurance, the London
Assurance, and the Batik, 1001. each, and there was a
lose list of noble names. The subscription list, not-
withstanding the shortness of the notice, amounted in
donations to upwattls of 2,5001. and iu subscriptions to
3001. annually.
The Meeting. after entering into several Resolutions,
adjourned.

Lord Donoughmore has postponed the second

the Intokrants will not fail to make the mast of the

Influence enough to produce them; for ourselves,
we have scarcely any hope that the Bill will pass
the Lords, knowing, as we do, the influence that
ministers can command, and remembering that the
liberal declaration made by Lord Castlereagh in the
other House, that "this question was meant to
stand on its own ground, unaided one wxy or the
other by the' influence of Government," has not been
repeated by either the Chancellor or Lord Liver-
pool;—be it as it may, if the emancipation of the
Roman Catholics be not achieved this sessions, they
may rest assured that it will be the next—the present
generation is too enlightened to allow eight millions
of their fellow-subjects to continue deprived of the
privileges of their birth, because the prejudices of a
superannuated Peer may conjure up or anticipate

dangers from an act of simple justice.
It is confidently asserted in the higher circles that
an illustrious inlividual has commanded it to be
notified, that he does nut wish to bias the vote of
any Noble Lord on the Catholic question, and the
friends of justice, therefore, appear to have a reliance
on the success of the measure;—from good autho-
rity, however, and from communications made to us
from a quarter highly competent to form a correct
estimate upon the subject, we have reason to fear
that the Bill will be thrown out by a majority of
about 23.

Intelligence from Grenoble of the sth of April,

tranquillity, and every thing proclaims that for the
future, this quiet, so desirable, will not be disturbed."
A notification has been issued by the Governor
of Milan, for recalling all subjects of Austria be-
longing to the Milanese territory, who had gone
over to Piedmont. This order is chiefly understood
to have been directed against the students of Paris,
who had joined in great numbers the students of
Turin, whose attachment to constitutional princi-
ples has been so conspicuous.
Colonel Ford is mentioned as likely to succeed
Lord Castlereagh in the representation of the county
Down. Two other candidates are mentioned, viz.
W. Ward, of Bangor, and M r.Needham, son of
Lord Kilinorey.
ALARMING Fl R L.—About one o'clock on Satur-
day morning, a most destructive fire broke out on
the premises of Messrs. How and Thanks, coach-
makers, Great Qneen.street, Lincoln's Innsfields,
which totally destroyed them, together with the
dwelling house. It quickly cointuunicated to the
premises of Mr. Lowe, coach-plater, which were
totally destroyed. The most prompt assistance was
rendered by the engines belonging to the various
Insurance Offices. About half past five o'clock the
whole front of both buildings fell into the street
with a tremendous crash. The flatting-mills of
Mr. Phillips on the one side, and the workshops of
Mr. Robinson on the other, situate in Parker-street,
were saved with the utmost difitcuulty. We under-
stand the premises were insured. No lives were
lost.
CAUTlON.—Persons having empty houses to let
should be on their guard against a scoundrel with
the ai.peurance of a respectable tradesman, who is
in the habit of applying to view empty houses, and
who, if the key be entrusted to him, strips the house
of door-leeks, hell., &c.—His depredations have been
frequent in the neighbourhood of Islington.
Thomas Meyers, Wm. Jarvis, Jesse Sangwell, and
John Lambe'', who were tried and found guilty at
the last assizes for the county of Surrey, are ordered
for execution at Hursenionger-lane, on 11 ednestluy
morning next. Meyers and Jarvis were convicted
of passing forged notes ; and the other two of the
burglary at Englelield-green.

Private letters have been received from the North
of Italy, one of which, dated Turin, the 4th inst ,
states, that the Prince of Carignano departed front
Novara uu the 29th, in the same secret manner as
be abandohed the capital ; and it is added that he
burst into tears, and exclaimed, that he had been
betrayed: Of his /subsequent adventures, it is re-
lated that he repaired to Modena; but the new
King refused to receive him, and that he had gone,
in consequence, to the Court of hissfather-in-law,
the Grand Duke. of Tuscany, in Florence. The
Prinaxt q'ciirignano watexpected to join him there.

• Most of the cotton-80mm of Preston bare been
out of work for the last fortnight. The cause ori-
ginates in an attempt, on the part of the masters, to
reduce the rate of wages 2s. in the pound. The
measure was, at least tacitly, acquiesced in by all
the men, except those of two factories, who refused
to work at the new prices. These remained out for
one week, while the men at the other factories con-
tinued their employment. But the masters finding,
at least suspecting, that the men who thus stood uut
were supported by those who continued their la-
bours, agreed, with only one or two exceptions, to
put a total stop to their machinery ; and almost all
the factories have consequently been closed fur the
last fortnight. The deportment of the men, who,
through these unhappy differences, have been
thrown into listless idleness, has been oiderly, and,
for the most part, exemplary ; but we regret to re-
mark that some revengeful spirit has prompted one
or more individuals to attempt the horrid crime of
arson, by forcing a lighted turf through one of the
windows of the stone factory in Heatley-street, in
the night of Tuesday, the Bth inst. Happily, how-
ever, the burning embers did not come in contact
with any combustible matter, and of course the
diabolical purpose was not answered. A reward of
301. hai been offered for information of the offen-
ders.
Tote NEW Caowst.—This splendid tribute of
royalty, which has just been completed by Messrs.
Rundell and Bridge, was on Tuesday deposited in
the jewel-house, tower. It is much larger, loftier,
and more magnificent than the former crown. The
new crown is about 15 inches in elevation; the
arches, instead of sinking in their centre, are raised
almost to a point, being themselves embossed and
edged with brilliants, and supporting an orb of bril-
liants also, more than six inches in circumference.
This is surmounted with a Maltese diamond cross of
exquisite workmanship, on whose top and sides are
suspended three remarkably large pearls. In the
front of the crown is a unique sapphire of the purest
and deepest azure, two inches long and an inch
broad. At the back is the ancient ruby, which was
worn by Edward the Black Prince and our Fifth
Harry in the victories of Poictiers and Agincourt.—
The sapphire and ruby are each inseated in a Mal-
tese cross of brilliants, while the other parts of the
crown are occupied with large diamond flowers..—
The rim is encircled with diamonds, sapphires,
emeralds, and rubies, of very considerable magni-
tude; and the whole is surrounded, immediately
above the ermine, with large pearls. The several
other articles of the King's regalia, and of the splen-
did coronation service, are also placed in the jewel-
house. These have been all restored to their an-
cient splendour, preparatory to the coronation.
Thirteen regiments will receive orders in a few
days to proceed to the East and West Indic* and
other Colonies, to replace others coming home.
Duet.—A meeting took place early on Tuesday
morning, on Hounslow-heath, between two gentle-
men. One of them was severely wounded in the
pistol arm, and fell without firing. He got up im-
mediately without assistance, and taking his pistol
in the left hand, put a question to his adversary, and
receiving a satisfactory answer, tired in the uir. A
menical gentleman, who was in attendance, ex-
tracted the ball on the ground.
On Siturday the Stst ult, Lord Milton expe-
rienced a remarkable accident, and a fortunate escape
from personal injury. His lordship had been hunt-
ing in company with Earl Fitzwilliam, in the pur-
lious and country on the west side of Wansford, and
w s riding homeward about three o'clock in the
of ernoun, when just as he passed the corner of the
Mermaid, his horse fell dead on the road. The
chace had been neither long nor severe; and the
animal, which, we understand, was a valuable and
favourite hunter, had not shown any signs of ill-
ness or distress. The noble lord was thrown for-
ward on the great north rood with such force as
completely cleared him of the filling horse, and rose
immediately, not at all hurt by the extraordinary
accident. He proceeded to Milton-house with
Earl Fitzwilliam, who was close at hand at the
time.

Frank Rose, second son of Mr. Wm. Row, mer-
chant, of Cape town, was drowned, on the 4th of
January last, in Table Bay. The circumstances
attending his death are most interesting. The ship
Emma was driven on shore with two other vessels,
during a tremendous hurricane the preceding night.
On discovering them early on the 4th to be in im-
minent danger, he hastened with his father to render
assistance, and, regardless of his own safety, plunged
his horse into the sea, and succeeded in fetching a
rope from the Emma to the shore, and by this noble
act of intrepidity the crew and passengers were all
saved; his generous feeling not allowing other fel-
low-creatures to be in danger without attempting a
rescue, he again urged his horse into the sea to reach
a Danish ship, but in an instant a tremendous billow
dashed him from the saddle; he had the presence of
mind to seize the stirrup, but a second wave in-
gulphed him fig ever.

Dreadful Thunder Slosh.—About twelve o'clock
on Monday tre'unight, a tremendous thunder storm
passed over the city of Bristol and neighbourhood,
accompanied with hail, ruin, and a violent gale of
wind. The electric fluid struck the north end of
that venerable and majestic pile of building, RAMIE*
Tower, and entered the upper bell-loft window, the
stones of which were forced out, and thrown in dif-
ferent directions, and a large aperture made; the
beam which supported one sit' die bells was shattered
i'i several places, in such a manner as to reads it
useless; it then passed down the bell wire, and went
out at the south side, rolling up the lead from the
roof, and dislodging nearly S cwt. of stone, &c. lhe
pieces of wire which were found had all the appear-
ance of having been in an • intense fire. Tue low
lands adjacent the city were tier the time inundated.
Several vessels in the channel were driven ashore,
but did not sustain any material damage. At Stan-
ton Drew 14 sheep were found dead on Tuesday
morning, killed by the lightning; the wool upon the
whole of them appeared singed in one direction.
