Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR inquired whether it was
the intention of her Majesty's Government to' build
a new gal!ery for the national collection of pictures;
and if so, whether the plans and designs for this
gallery would be open to public competition, as
in the case of the New Palace at Westminster ;
and whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to take measures to collect the whole of the
ancient pictures belonging' to the nation, such as the
Minden Gallery, and others rscently purchased, into the
National Gallery in Trafa.gar-square ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply
to Mr. Danby Seymour, said that it was the intention
of Government to propoie to Parliament to build a new
gallery for the national collection of pictures, but the
consideration of the subject was not sufficiently advanced
to enable him to say whether the designs would be open
to public competition. He entered into some explana-
tions respecting the newly-purchased Minden Gallery,
and added that there was no intention to give the Royal
Academy notice to leave the apartments hitherto lent
them. The arrival of the pictures of the Minden Gal-
lery had been unavoidably delayed fur some weeks, and
they were at present deposited in one of the rooms in
the basement of the National Gallery. There were about
60 pictures in the collection, and it was not intended—
for they were not worthy of it—to place the whole of
then: in the National Gallery. Mr. Dyce had been for
some time.engaged in the examination of the collection,
and his report would shortly be presented to the trus-
tees, stating which in his opinion were best adapted to
form a portion of a national gallery.
RUSSO-DUTCH LOAN.
Lord D. STUART called the attention of the house
to the.termillation of all obligation on the part of this
country, in consequence of the conduct of Russia, to
continue to make any payments on account of the Rus-
so-Dutch Loan, and he moved a series of resolutions,
the effect of which was that Russia, by her neglect to
maintain at the Sulina mouth of the Dahuhe the works
necessary to prevent obstacles to its navigation, had vio-
lated the treaty of Vienna and injured the commerce of
this country; that upwards of 4,000,0001. had already
been paid towards the principal and for the interest of
the Russo• Dutch Loan, and that 3,386,0001. more would
be required ; and that, inasmuch as the convention of
1831 between England and Russia secured the payment
-to the latter part of her old Dutch debt, in consideration
of her adhesion to the general arrangements of the Con-
gress of Viennas the withdrawal by Russia of that adhe-
sion made it proper to suspend the payments. His lord-
ship supported these propositions in a speech of great
length, most of it delivered to a house of considerably
fewer than forty members.
Mr. DIGBY SEYNIOUR seconded the motion.
Sir W. MOLES\VORTH resisted the proposition.
For two centuries it had been the custom of civi
Heed nations to pay debts due to an enemy, the
single exception being in the, case of the Silesian loan, a
case in which the conduct of the King of Prussia had
been pronounced to be contrary to the law of nations.
If the Emperor of Russia had money in eur funds at
this time he would receive the dividends thereon, and
there was really no difference between such a case and
that in question. The desired backsliding and departure
from the rule dictated by the spirit of the age ought to
be most strongly vindicated. He admitted the general
violation of the treaty of Vienna, which, had we not
been at war, would have been a cams belli, birt neither
that nor war would justify the required repudiation •
and he contended that the Emperor of Russia had
not committed the specific violation requisite to in-
validate our agreement. Sir William showed that
we had purchased from the Netherlands, the
Cape of Good Hope, Demerara, Essequibo, and
Berbice, on condition of applying a part of the purchase-
money in the discharge of the obligation in question ;
and that in 1831 we had expressly purchased the assent
of Russia to the new arrangement between Belgium and
Holland, and that we were bound to continue our pay-
ments, except in the case of Russia ceasing to concur in
our policy in regard to those countries, a contingency
which had not arisen. We were, therefore, engaged by
treaties arid acts of Parliament to fulfil our obligations ;
and he made an eloquent appeal to the house to resist

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that Mr.
Seymour's energy was entirely thrown away, as he bad
misconceived the arguments.of Sir W. Molesworth. He
briefly re-stated the case, which he characterised as•rst,
perfectly clear and simple one. The debt did not rest
upon the treaty of Vienna, and no infraction of that
treaty crude invalidate our liability.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY.—In moving for the
papers and correspondence of which I have given notice,
I must take the opportunity of vindicating myself and
my honour against a charge which has been made by
another person in another place seriously affecting my
personal honour and character for veracity. I feel, my
lords, that it may be of little importance to the world at
large what may be the character of so humble an in-
dividual as myself, but, as a member of your lordships'
house, it is a matter of some importance that I should
stand erect before you, and either refute the charge
which has been made, or submit to the contumely which
its confirmation would inflict upon me. lam able, my
lords, to give the flattest possible contradiction to every
item of the charge which has been made. It will be
within your recollection that some time ago I made a
statement in which I mentioned that during the trans-
actions of the Board of Health a meeting was held at
which a certain noble lord was present, at which I myself
was present, and at
which other commissioners were
present—that the noble

COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL.
The committee on this bill was then resumed, com-
mencing with clause 37.
The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the house
resumed.
BILLS OF EXCHANGE (No. 2) BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. GEACH said this bill involved a very important
principle ; it purposed to assimilate the law of
England with regard to bills of exchange with that of
Scotland, and if it passed, a party registering a bill of
exchange would be enabled to obtain an immediate
judgment against the acceptor in the event of the bill
being dishonoured. The trailing system of Scotland
was so widely different to what it was in England •
that the two laws could not be assimilated with
safety ; for instance, in Scotland, it was the in-
variable rule to make bills of exchange payable
at local bankers, who retained possession of them with-
oat putting them in circulation; but in R,gland the
practice was different, because it was the rule and not
the exception to make bills payable at some banking
house in London, whose hands it did not reach
until it had been in extensive circulation. Little
difficulty was experienced in Scotland in renewing bills
of exchange, but without the breathing time which the
existing English system allowed, but which this bill
would abolis ~ traders havi rig dishonoured bills of exchange
running might be suddenly driven into bankruptcy, al-
though with aslight indulgence their estate might be made
to yield 305. in the pound. Under this bill, a man who

ELECTRICITY AND ITS USES : NEW DISCOVERY.—In
the last number of the Revue des
.Deux Mendes is an ex•
cellent article, entitled ~ L'Electricitd Ouvrierb," by M.
Babinet, member of the French Institute, enumerating
the various effects already produced through the agency
of electricity, whether artistic, scientific, or industrial.
The learned writer traces his subjcct through all its
phases,
power, light, heat, telegraphic, smelting, and working
physiological, philosophical, chemical, motive
'of ores for the separation of rn tale, molecnlaire action,
electro•plating, galvano plastic, &c. The whole article
is one which every lover of electricity will read with
pleasure, and does infinite credit to M. Babinet.
At present the chief, and almost only means em-
-V°Yed in Ittit.the various uses to which electricity
e
has been applied, is the Voltaic agency, which is of too
troublesome and expensive a character to admit of elec.
tricity being more universally used than it is, and un-
doubtedly would be, were' s, cheaper and easier medium
obtainable. We are confidently assured that this desi-
deratum is "ow Vie eve of consummation, and that a

tin in
detailed
and
operation in Onslow-square, Brompton, which
overcomes all the difficulties hitherto felt, by producing
an immense quantity of fluid at little cost, and less
trouble. Many scientific persons who have seen the
machine speak highly of its astonishing powers and
merits;e
