Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had given notice of his
intention to call the attention of the house to the report
of the select committee appointed to inquire into the
withdrawal of the Norwich election petitions, and
to move that so much of the sessional order of
the 11th day of November last as requires that
all persons who will question the return of any mem-
ber, do question the same within fourteen days
then nett. be read ; and that the said order, so far
as the same relates to the last return of Members to
serve in Parliament for the city of Norwich, be sus-
pended ; it appearing to this house that the two peti-
tions of John Phillips, John Abel, Henry Hitides,
Peter Thomas Scott, and William Mackley, electors of
the said city, presented on the 22d day of November, last,
complaining of an undue election and return of members
to serve in this present Parliament for the said city of
Norwich, were on the 14th day of February last, with-
out due authority, abandoned or withdrawn, whereupon
the order referring the same to the general committee of
elections was discharged, lie begged leave to postpone
the motion until this day week, when the members of
the house would be more conversant with the evidence

HEALTH OF LONDOIV DURING THE WEEK.

(Prom the R,egiktra;r-General's Report.)
The official report says- —Last week the deaths from
all causes registered in tor idon amounted to 1,748. An
increase so formidable oil the already high mortality of
previous weeks arises in tea rt from the same causes that
have lately prevailed wit h -unusual force, and is also due,
to some extent, to the i nfltux into the register books of
cases on which coroners lad held inquests, and which
have been permitted to wcumulate during the quarter.
The signature of that oils c:er is necessary to complete the
registration of deaths ret rimed by him.
Last week the births .of 1,005 boys and 904 girls, in
all 1,909 children, were' registered in London. In the
eight corresponding we Ars of the years 1845-52 the
average number was 1,4E:1.
At the Royal Obser v atory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29,723 in. ; on
Monday the mean daily -reading was above 30 in. The
mean temperature of th Le week was 43.4 deg., which is
near the average of tb Le same week in 38 years. The
mean daily temperature 1 was below the average on the
first three days, and abi )ve it dufhvg the rest of the week.
The mean dew-point t Temperature was 32.8 deg. The
wind, which had been in the north in the early part of
the week, blew from th e•south-west in the last four days.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that he will move on Friday for a committee of the whole
house to consider the Consolidated Fund and National
Debt Redemption Acts gave rise to a variety of reports
yesterday as to the probability of measures being contem-
plated for some favourable modifications with regard
to the National Debt, which tended to produce an im-
provement in prices. Consols opened at 994 to 10 for
money, and the closing quotations were 1008 to # for
money, and 1004 to for the 12th of May. The rumour
generally believed to be correct was that a plan will be pro-
posed for the issue of Government debentures or Treasury
bills, at the rate of 2A per cent., with half-yearly coupons,
payable to bearer, and having 20 years to run, to any per-
sons who may prefer to take them in exchange for Consols
or Reduced. The convenience of a negotiable security
of this kind, coupled with the guarantee they will afford
against any further reduction of interest during the
period for which they are issued, will, it is imagined,
cause them to bear a sufficient premium to tempt the
holders of Three per Cent. stocks to convert them from
time to time in considerable amounts. The experiment
will also furnish a safe test of the extent to which a
general reduction of the Three per Cents. may be ventured
upon, and for which, in any compulsory form, a year's
notice will at all times be requisite. The statement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer on the above subject will
precede by more than a week the introduction of the
budget, which is fixed for Monday, the 18th.
The amount to be invested on account of the sinking
fund for the reduction of the National Debt during the
quarter ending sth July next will be 600,0001. With the
exception of the corresponding quarter of 1852 this is a
larger total than has been applicable for some time past,
the respective amounts during the last year having been—

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
31st ult. In the sitting of the previous day the
senate was engaged in discussing the vote of the
minority of the committee on the representation of
the Duke de Valentia. An amendment to the
effect that " the Senate decides that there are no
grounds for deliberating on the representation of
the Duke of Valentia, because so long as there are
no direct proceedings instituted against him nor
any sentence which inflicts civil incapacity on him,
he has a right to come and take part in the business
of the Senate," was presented by Joaquin Maria
Lopez, and was ably developed by its author and
opposed by Generals Sanz and Pezuela. It was ul-
timately rejected by a majority of 95 to 59. After
some further discussion on the question itself, it was
again adjourned. In the Chamber of Deputies
the demand of the government for authorisation
to collect the taxes was met by three amend-

BANKRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
JUDGHENT.—IN RE HOUSTON.
This bankrupt was described as of St. James's-terrace,
jliarrow-road-buildings, and to-day was appointed for
udgment on the question of cei Lificate, which had been
lPPosed on the ground that the banki opt had made a
redulent preference, and had not kept proper accounts.
vowitne"e had been adjom &led on several occasions, in
th -131ence of an action cob how haying boon pending,
e result of which had been somewhat favourable to the
bankrupt.
-"is Honour, after going r 1., considerable length
into the facts of the case, said that although
the bankrupt was not blaneeless, he had through-
out carried on trade by mortgaging his property,
and owed to creditors holding security 18,0001.,
and they would no doubt be paid in full ; but for the
other creditors, to the extent of 2,5001., there would not be
sixpence. There was, however, one thing favourable to
the bankrupt, namely, that his personal expenses had
been moderate, and he had been a laborious man. The 'judgment of the Court was, that the certificateas
g
be suspended for 13 months from the d
the secondate of
passing
the last examination, and then to be of
Class.

Mr. Lawrence applied for protection.
His Honour said it would be granted, but only a few
days had to expire ; the object was to have the suspen-
sion entered on the proceedings.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that he will move on Friday for a committee of the whole
house to consider the Consolidated Fund and National
Debt Redemption Acts gave rise to a variety of reports
yesterday as to the probability of measures being contem-
plated for some favourable modifications with regard
to the National Debt, which tended In produce an im-
provement in prices. Consols opened at 99i to 103 for
money, and the closing quotations were IC3 to g for
money, and 1034 to for the 12th of May. The rumour
generally believed to be correct was that a plan will be pro-
posed for the issue of Government debentures or Treasury
bills, at the rate of 2A per cent., with half-yearly coupons,
payable to bearer, and having 20 years to run, to any per-
sons who may prefer to take them in exchange for Consols
or Reduced. The convenience of a regotiable security
of this kind, coupled with the guarantee they will afford
against any further rcd.uction of interest dung the
period for which they are issued, Nv i'l, it is imagined,
cause them to bear a sufficient pl.emium to tempt the
holders of Three per Cent. stocks to convert them from
time to time in considerable amounts. The experiment
will also furnish a safe test of the extent to which
.a
general reduction of the Three per Cents. may be ventured
upon, and for which, in any compulsory forni, a year's
notice will at all times be requisite. The statement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer on the above subject will
precede by more than a week the introduction of the
budget, which is fixed for Monday, the 18th.
The amount to be invested on account of the sinking
fund for the reduction of the National Debt during the
quarter ending sth July next will be 600,0001. With the
exception of the corresponding quarter of 1852 this is a
larger total than has been applicable for some time past,
the respective amounts during the last year having been—

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that he will move on Friday for a committee of the whole
house to consider the Consolidated Fund and National
Debt Redemption Acts gave rise to a variety of reports
yesterday as to the probability of measures being contem-
plated for some favourable modifications with regard
to the National Debt, which tended to produce an im-
provement in prices. Consols opened at 998 to 100 for
money, and the closing quotations were 1008 to for
money, and 1004 to for the 12th of May. The rumour
generally believed to be correct was that a plan will be pro-
posed for the issue of Government debentures or Treasury
bills, at the rate of 28 per cent., with half-yearly coupons,
payable to bearer, and having 20 years to run, to any per-
sons who may prefer to take them in exchange for Consols
or Reduced. The convenience of a negotiable security
of this kind, coupled with the guarantee they will afford
against any further reduction of interest during the
period for which they are issued, will, it is imagined,
cause them to bear a sufficient premium to tempt the
holders of Three per Cent. stocks to convert them from
time to time in considerable amounts. The experiment
will also furnish a safe test of the extent to which a
general reduction of the Three per Cents. may be ventured
upon, and for which, in any compulsory form, a year's
notice will at all times be requisite. The statement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer on the above subject will

" The treaties which reconstitute the Zollverein
with the Stuerverein have been signed by all the
plenipotentiaries, who have also given their adhe-

Prussia and Austria."
The Government of Baden has menaced Switzer-
land with greater rigour on the frontier, if the Con-
federation does not furnish more efficacious guaran-

the refugees. The Swiss have been prohibited
seeking employment in Baden.
Several arrests have taken place at Cologne ; the
railways are daily bringing prisoners in from other

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE•

The Revenue Returns for the financial year
and quarter ending sth of April instant, which
have been published in due course, will be found
in another part of this day's impression. They
are of a very satisfactory character, affording
powerful confirmation to what we have repeatedly
asserted respecting the almost miraculous elasticity
of the National Finances, and the happy results
of the Free-trade policy, which has now been
tested by the experience of six years. They also
show that the rules of COCKER are not applicable
to fiscal addition or subtraction—that two and
two will be less than four, and also that if two be
taken from four more than two will remain.
Notwithstanding the reductions of duty that have
come into operation within the past year, there
has, instead of a corresponding deficiency, been a
considerable increase in the revenue both on

being the residue of the Estates of .the Western Australian Laud
Company undisposed of, which the Directors are required to offer to
Sale, by Public Competition, for the winding up of the affairs of that
Comrany. A large portion of the Estate has been accurately sur-
veyed, and the present affords an admirable opportunity to enter-
prising capitry 1.3 to acquire a
LARGE AND VALUABLE TERRITORY IN THIS BRITISH

inasmuch as a portion of the Land forms a continued line or range

HULL ELECTION.

Mr. LABOUCTIRRE then rose to move an ad-
dress, to her" Majesty, for a 'commission ofi inquiry
into the borough of Hull. The house would
remember that the member returned for Hull
had been unseated on the ground of bribery and
treating, and since it came out in evidence that the cor-
ruption complained othad long prevailed in the borough,
the committee felt that there was no alternative but to
recommend the house to adopro. ition like this.
It was painful to him to' have -to make such a
motion as this in reference to so important a
place as Hull, one of the greatest shipping ports
of the country ; but neither the extent of its population
nor the position which it held in public estimate ought
to shield it from ,a proceeding of this nature, if the merits
of the case called for it. It appeared, then, that it had
been a practice for some years past to pay the free-
men of Hull for their votes at the rate of
30s. a-head. Several of the poor voters were also
bribed in smaller sums, and one of the witnesses exam-
ined before the committee stated that these latter were
far more troublesome to the candidate than the freemen,
because they did not know their price. (A laugh.) In
addition to this, several voters were bribed with very
large sums, while it was clear that at most of the contested
elections a system of extensive treating always took place.
He therefore thought it was highly desirous that the
whole case should be inquired into by a commission on
the spot, and hence he had no hesitation in moving the
resolution of which he had given-notice.
Mr. WALPOLE said he observed by the report of
the committee that the bribery appeared to have been
both extensive and systematic, and he could, therefore,
offer no opposition to the address, but he thought they
ought to postpone the nomination of the commission
until a future day.
Mr. LABOUCHERE did not think there was any
necessity for such delay.
After a few words from Mr. BANKES, the motion was
agreed to.
