NRW WRIT.

Mr. SPRING RICE moved for a New Writ for the
County of York .and Bump of Knaresliarough, in the
room of henry Brougham. 44q. who had been appointed
Lord High Chancellor of England. • ' writ,
being the ruotiou that the Speaker do issue a new writ,
being put from the chair,
Mr. CHOKER said, that this motion, although it ap-
peered to be almost one of course, was, considering them-
%pittance attending it, one of the most important that bad
ever been MOP within-1N walls of that House, and be
trusted, therefore, that he should be excused if he ventured
to make a few ohoervatione upon it. The gentleman
whose place it was now necesaary to fill up in that House,
end who, by the courtesy of that Houten, had been usually
milled an Hon. and Learned Member of that House, but
who new, by a most extraordinary cheep waste be called
a Noble aml Learned Loral,—the Noble anal Learned Lord,

declaration, bed not the Noble and. Learned Lord made it
voluntarily, anal had he not repeated it—yes, repeated it,
and voluntarily repeated the ,next public occasion,
end after be had had full time to look at all the bearings of
the impending change. He had often heard that Noble
Lord Say that the characters of public men were part of the
wealth of England, if so the character of that man
who had been elevated to the highest and most tran-
scendent place in the State—lie wise, to use ► Parlia-
mentary phrase, had been appointed the keeper of the
King's conscience--he who had been clanged with the
highest judicial functions of the realm—ht on whom' the
prosperity and lives of his Majesty's subjects materially
depended, anal who above all, was entrusted with all
the patronage of the church—':.if public distracter was dear,
surely it was eminently so to such a man as he, who above
all others, ought to stand clear of ell 'appearances of o:ha-
lting and truckling. If the character of public men ought
to be clear and satisfactory, it became indispensably se
when that public man was the Lard High Chancellor
of England.—c Hear, hear.) thither this impression

hereafter, but he could not see how they could be recon-

other House of Parliament, not to be immediatelY informed
of it.—(Hear, hear.):..-.lle would also ask What was to
become of the notice for the 25th inst. Mr. !!roughen had

Sir J. MACKINTOSH said he did not rise to vindi-
cote, or even explain the conduct of the Noble Lard who
had 'just been made the subject of attack, in fact,
(ruin the manner and spirit in which that attack
was made, it warn not entitled to an explanation,
The Noble Lord had long been known in that House, hie
services bad long been known and appreciated, he therefore
did not rite to vindicate him from the attack, but he could
no longer remain silent, he could not help giving vent to his
feelings on hearing a speech the most extraordinary that
was ever delivered in that House of Parliament. Never,
he Would repeat, had there been such a speech since
that body existed.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable
Gentleman had said that his Noble Friend's declaration
might be expleineti now or hereafter. He could assure
him.that another opportunity would offer, and, therefore,
there was no oecasion for him then to attempt it.—
(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman, at the clam of almost
every sentence, had said a time might come, but he knew
that at the present moment it was impossible that an ex-
planation could be entered into, as none of the Noble Lord'.
colleagues, who alone could give the explanation, were pre-
went. Why, then, he would ask the Hon. Gentleman
did he take that opportunity to attack the character
' of the Noble Lord who had been called to fill the highest
office unilert he Crown.—(Hear.) He f Sir James Mackin-
tosh), was at a lola to know of what the explanation could
consist. Was any Member prepared to call for the negecie.
thins between the Crown anti the formation of the present ,
Administration ?...(Hear, bear.) He must again repeat,
that it was a most unprecedented attack; for whatever
might have been the declarations of the Noble Lord, one
week might so have altered circunistanees as to In-
duce. him to accept an office to which he was so
well qualified, but which he had • never intended to ao-
zept, and he had no doubt * full explanation would he
given. The words which the lion. Gentleman bad quoted
as those which had been used in that House by his Noble
and Learned Friend, were not according to his recollect
ties-..were not, as heabould be reedy lo swear Oiled
upon to swear, to the brat of hit recollection-.the words
which,had fallen from his Noble and Lauver Friend 'en
the occasion alluded to. He was not called neorvio,etete
-wherein the elifferenei between'him and the on. Gentle-
man, on this point, consisted; hut the very feet of the
difference existing at all demonstrated the wisdom of that
rule of the House which forbade the expressions used by
an Hon. Member in one debate to be quoted against him
in another debate ; and this was one of the many irre-
gularities into which the Hon. Gentleman had been led
that evening. He said many irregularities, which was
a ,very mild expression; to call the Hon. Gentleman's
speech a disorderly speech would be saying very little,
for it was a congeries of offences against the rules
and orders of the Parliament. Not contented with
his own breaches of order, the Hon. Gentleman had
quoted .an anonymous Yorkshire newspaper, in which the
words of a Member of that House were set clown and
commented upon ; and in which there was related, on the
authority of some prying person., the gossip of the robing
room,—which the correspouderit of the anonymnue York-
shire editor called the " counsel-room.”--butiellich was,
in fact, the place where gentlemen of the bar put on end
put off their wigs anti gowns..-.(Hear, and laughter.)--
He was the last man, be trusted, in that House to narrow
liberty of this nature out of doors I but it did appear to
be improper, in the highest degree, to quote within the
walls of that House, such an authority, fur the unworthy
II purpose of injuring the character of the Lord High
Chancellor of gngland.—(Cheers.)—Sueli conduct he '
would not attempt to characterize as it deserved ; but
this be would say of it,—namely, that he believed it was
unparalleled by any man who had ever thought himself
obliged to go into the hottest, the most violent, awl the
most uncompromising oppowition.—(Cheere.)--One other
observation, and he had done. 114 begged, that in consi-
dering this subject, lion. Members would recollect the day
which the lion. Gentleman had clunen fur *hi* insidious,
this iudefeusible, and this—as the Hon. Gentleman ad-
mitted it might turn out to he—unfounded attack. It was
the day on which his Noble and Learned friend, vested
with the highest judicial functions of the realm, had en-
tered' upon the adminietration of justice and the 'exercise
of the Important duties which had &indeed upon

and that explanation the 'lnn. lieOtlenun well 4n**"uld

come could not by possibility make, their appearance in
that Hoose.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CHOKItiI, inc very low tone, said, as we under.
stood him, that he did not depend upon hie own recollec.

used on the occasion to which lte,had referred ; but that,

Which dim different channels had reported the words of
the Noble and Learned Lord very nearly eorrespontleml.
Lord L. c,40w0 had come to the House quite
ignorent that any Member would take ,that opportunity
of alluding to the Noble- Lord's declaration ; hot if it had
not been alluded to, he certainly hianailf intended to hare
introduced the subject. He thought it a duty he owed to

General GASCOYNE said, that the Noble Lord who
had presented the petition had not confined hientelf to the
shwa trade, or to the tradition of slaves, hut hail gone
into the whole Christian policy. There was one • subject
upon which he (General Gesooyne) would take the pre.
sent opportunity of expreeting himself. Ile alluded to

Mr. BERNAL said, that this of : all others was a redoes.,
tion which should be looked upon with the eye of a states,
man, and not with that of an entlineia,t or. partiam. His
being a West Indic proprietor should never deter him front

the just oghts of the owners of property in the colonies.

Mr. lllllSCOE.—.sfr.'Chairman-.-(A laughs and cries

Mr, BERNAL.proceeded,—He bad sever countenanced
• any one alone with respect to the negroes, and he was far
from wishing the question to be 'postponed.. It must lie
brought forward in one shape or the other, crud all he de-
manded was a fair and deliberate inquiry, and that the sic.
tual State of the colonies should be ainsidered temperately
and on the basis of justice.
Mr. BRISCOE considered that to tolerate slavery was a
• crime, and a stain upon the English' distracter. He had
heard it contended that tin slave' was in better condition
than the English peasant; but let those who were of that '
opinion put its trivh to' the net by proposing to any body
of English peasantry, however bad their condition, to
become the property of a triesteri to be urged to labour
by the lash, and to be sold attgoode and antie', and torn,
at the will of his owner, from his wife and family. There
was no English peasant that would not apart melt a
• proposal.
'Mr. O'CONNELL said, that the whole country was
against the continuance of, a system of slavery, and those
who bad a personal interest in the question ought to ab-
stain from the discussion, or at least to express themselves
temperately. He belonged- to e' part of the empire of
which the peasantry were in a worse eonditition than of
any other, and yet he would say that the most degraded
and wretched of the whole would spurn the offer of ex,»
changing his situation with that of a uegro slave.

Mr. RUTH YEN thought, that however degraded were
the poor of this country, they were not so badly oil' as the
African slaves. If they were, it doubly behoved the
House to inquire into their condition, and to afford them
some redrew.

ADJOIIRIOUNT OF THIS HOUSE.
Mr. S. RICE moved that the Ifouee et its rising do
*tom till Thursday next. The proposition would not
'be attended with any `inconvenience if agreed to, as there
was no order on the paper for Wednesday, except the Colo-
nist; Trade ]Oil. He therefore thought It would be better
in the absence of Ministers to adjourn over that day Cal
Thursday, for which day three ballots for Election Coro-
mittees stood fixed. No doubt there Were teasuns why a
longer adjournment might be wished tor'; but, however
convenient this would be to Government, he admitted that
it must be attended with dleadvitutige to parties in rids-
don to whom the House had to act hi capacity.
Sir M. W. 'RIDLEY said thorn must he 190 Mteribeti
present an Thursday, in order to' constitute a House, to,
proceed with the three bellote fixed for that day. It' a
surnistnt number did not attend, the House must adjourn
de die in diense—it cireutnstance that would 'be highly
lyronvenient in the present state of the country, and et a
time when the presence of gentlemen was so necessary in
their respective counties. This woitld he prevented in a
considerable degree by the sitting of that House. He re-
petted that the House had decided on proceeding with
the Election Committees, which he thought would proie
ineouvenlent to' individuals, and detrimental to the public
ii I West.
Mr. S. WORTLEY was opposed to a postponement
of the Election Committees, with !reference to the appoint..
Mane of which arrangements had been made by %ndows
parties who would be greatly inconvenienced by any tle-.
future from the understanding that existed' On the sub-
just. After all that had occurred, the House wits bouod
in honour to proeeed • with the election petitions, if the
requisite number of Members could be procured ; and be
thought if that could not he effected in any other way,
that there should he a c ill of the House.
Sir x. WAHEENDES objected to the postponing 'of
Election ComMittees, and observed, that by a late Act of-
Parliament a hundred Members were sodficient for a haat.
Sir M. W. IIIDLEY said, that by the last 'Act Iso
Members were required for three ballots, 120 for two, and
/00 fur a single committee. On Thurs4ay there wire
three committees to be balloted for.
An HON. Meanies, expreesed his opinion that it would
be groat injustice" to thc, poke interested if the House
were to adroit's.' over the clays fixed fin' ballots on tlection
Petitions. There ought to be an understanding that upon
these days the House, shoold, coofine itself, as far as pea
aible, to the huaineee Of the Election Committe4 and that
tuithing should he done far the purpreie of annoying 'Mi.
Liege's in the ebeenee 'of several principal Members of the
Government...4lw.)
Mr. S. RICE said It was prOposed tn-adjourn over till
Thursday from that day till the lollowitig 'Tuesday; then
till Thursday; and, subsequently, till inch further period
as might he necessary in order to allow of the Mtuthere of
the Administration taking their state.
Sir R. PEEL said there 'would be so 'Minds. inconve-
nience in attempting to discuss important nitoomeos he the
abeeeest of Ministers, that he for one chew fully eel-it:urged
in the propriety of the proposed arrangement. He,. thought
it right that the House should meet nu the dap fixed for
the Appointment of eleetlou committee.: Ilia they teid de.
dared their intention, tiod it Wee their duty, to do. At the
UM time he was sure there existed at great a disposition
as possible to suit the couvenienCteof 4tintiqnlen ur the

THE MONEY-MARKET.

(From the rtnies.)

The Funds. experienced a further rise this morning
(Tuesday) soon after the commencement of business, and
htttertene was given to public confidence, in conse-
quence of the declarations made lan night in the House
of Lords, on the policy intended to be pursued by the
new Aihniniatration. This proved, however, but of a
,temporary efreetas the accounts received this morning
of new disturbances in various parts of the country were
deemed, whether justly or ant, of so formidable a nature
as to cause great and, general alarm. Some of these ac-
counts acquired perhaps a more aethenth: character from
their having been,communicated on the Exchange by re-
apeutable merchants in the City who were personally ex-
pored to the outrao, they described, and with great diffi-
culty mitred without injury. The scene of them, so far
as they have been mentioned here, was chiefly at Hunger-
ford and Newbury, and ether places on the Bath road.—
It has struck every • one as a new feature of the present
unheppy diqurbances, that travellers by stage-coaches as
well as by private carriages have been attacked by a to-
multuous mob, in broad day, and in the midst of a
populous market town,, without any interference on the
Part of the inbehitantei or protection from a force, civil or
military, of any desseription.
That highest price Consols reached to-day was Sal, and
the decline afterwards was to S 2, when a trifling re-action
occurred, and thecloaing quotation was 84 buyers. Et-
chequer Bilk are sternly at yesterday's .prices.
In ,the Foreign Market there has occurred a rise in
Cartes Bonds, to which some mystery appeared to attach,
aa .4_44 advice.' • from the Spanish. frontier now coin-
cide in stating the failure. of all the partite of the Consti-
tutionalists from whatever quarter they have entered the
Peninsula. But it now appears that a new speculation in
the Bonds has commenced, on an expectation, respecting
which no decisive opinion can yet be hazarded, that Verdi-
nand will be induced voluntarily to acknowledge the debt
contracted under the Cortes. The grounds of. this ex-
pectation may be however, in part collected from an arti-
cle published in Le Globe, Paris paper, of Sunday, in
which a most extraordinary charge is brought aeainst M.
Lathe, the French Minister, and M. Aguado, the banker
in Paris far the Spanish Government, who are said to have
olitained this concession from Ferdinand, on a promise
that the French Government should, on its part, use all:the
means in its power to frustrate the efforts of the Cowl-
tional party to bring about a revolution in Spain. M.
Witte, it will be recollected, was the contractor for the
first loan entered into for the Government of the Cortes.
As the whole article referred to is very curious, and mint
lead to some investigation; we here annex a translation of it :
" 1n our paper of the 15th wo asked if it was trues that the
persecution which the Spanish refugees have encountered was
less the eflivt of that humble deference eiinced by our Cabinet
for all foreign t3overonients, than the condition imposed of a
financial operation long ago proposed by Spain, in favour of
which the President of the Council is said to be a zealous par-
tisan, Although our opinion on the subject had been formed, '
we had thought proper to otter it in the doubtful form of a ques-
tion, which question has remained, of course, unanswered. A
journal which cannot surely be accused of opposition either to
the system sir Individuals, revives to-day our assertion, not In its '
equivocal shape, but as an undoubted fact, amid uses the epithet
of • Spanish,' in designating intrigues which are surely half
French, This is not all : truth can no longer escape any one.,
Already the Madrid Gazette of the sth instant has commenced
revealing thmiteiiret...

et It is indent to all who remember the unshaken obstinacy
with which Ferdinand alwayo refreeti to acknowledge the Cortes
Ivan, that motives Of 411 important interest alone could have
inductsi him to consent to such an acknowledgment. The fact
it, that, a bargain has been entered into between hitn and our
Government, by winch he engages to Include in the debt of
Spain the Cartes Bonds, en condition that we should deliver his
frontiers from the prt!sence of the Constitutionahata,
1. We shall now remline our inquiries, and ask by what right
the Frelleit Government would take upon itself to stipulate for
an the builders of the Cortes Bonds, and regulate the terms of
their atimietion into the new Spanish fund t HOW could :it. La-
' Otte, Who, his capacity of banker to the Constitutional Govern.

being a party to such a bargain, think of restoring life to the in

► far ae we can,collect public opinion, the expiate' of
the Premier with regard to the policy of the new Cabinet
appears to give general satisfaction. r Men of property, ge-,
uerally %leaking, are decidedly in favour of the moderate
views of Earl Grey on the subject of reform. Many well-
informed and ;,respectable pereone of the Ultra-Liberal
school think that his Lordship has not gone far enough.
It should he recollected, however, that he prefeetes to be
willing to go as far as will be consistent with the preserva-
tion of the Constitution, and we should think there are
few who would wish to go father. But the question is,
what is the Conatitution ?

The dealers began to purchase largely to-6y (Titestley)
in consequence of the speech delivered by Lord Grey last
night in the House of Peers. The prices soon after the
commencement of business advanced nearly t per cent.° on
what they left off yesterday. Speculation was► however,
