of bankruptcy. The Right Hon. Gentlema❑ then went
into the question of the royalties of the colony; and
proceeded to advert to the advantages which might arise
to this country from the circumstance of the colony of
New South Wales being what was termed "Territorial."
That circumstance rendered it of great value as afford-
ing a field for emigration, which, if properly turned to
account, might be made productive of the greatest ad-
vantages to British society.—(Hear.) He then directed
attention to the colony of New Zealand, which gave
promise of the greatest advantages. He confessed that
the military expenditure of the colonies had increased
considerably. One broad result was rather remarkable;
the increased expenditure from 1843, amounted to
700,0001., but nearly the whole of that sum was ab-
sorbed by Canada and New South Wales, which were
considerable military stations. On the other hand, the
civil expenditure had not increased very largely—it had
not in those years increased more than 40,0004 The
naval expenditure had not also increased very largely.
With respect to the ordinances passed in the colonies,
there were 912 ordinances passed, and of those only
55 were objected to by the Colonial-office. He was
quite aware that the Colonial-office did not enjoy any
very favourable opinion in the mind of many. Hon.
Members —he was quite aware that it was an office
which, either more or less, was attended with unpopu-
larity. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to defend
the Colonial-office generally from the charges which
had been brought against them, and concluded by stating
that he had not the least objection to the motion of the
Hon. Gentleman. He admitted that the colonial expen-
diture required attention, and he should not oppose in-
quiry into it. He saw the great value of the colonial
empire to the mother country, and he believed, if pro-
perly managed, that the greatest advantages would
arise from it. He was, therefore, most anxious to in-
crease the ties by which they were at present bound
together, and he hoped every day to see them become
stronger.

Mr: SCOTT here proposed the adjournment of the
debate.

Mr. HUME considered that his Hon. Friend who had
brought forward the motion had stated the whole case of
the colonies so fully, that further discussion, by adjourn-
ment, was not necessary. He therefore hoped, the de-
bate would not be interrupted, but allowed to proceed;
and looking also to the coecessions which the Govern-
ment had made, he thought that the adjournment was
the less called for.
Mr. ANSTEY seconded tho motion of his Hon. Friend
Mr. Scott.

Mr. STAFFORD did not think that the Eon. Mem-
ber for Montrose had been in the House from twelve
o'clock.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HUME—I certainly have—l have never been
out of it.

Mr. MANGLES had been in the House fifteen hours,
yet if the House would permit him ho would g o on. He
admitted that the Right Hon. Gentleman the; Secretary
for the Colonies had been satisfactory in one part of his
statement—he had shown the improvements which had
taken place, and if the Hon. Gentleman had, been less
chivalrous and more prudent he might have done very
well. But the Hon. Gentleman's chivalry Fed him into
a defence of the administration of various Colonial Se-
cretaries, and in that part of the Hon. Gentlen3 an's speech
he (Mr. Mangles) was ready to join issue with him
The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to analy se the con-
duct of the Colonial Department in its admin:istration of
and dealing with the colonies, which he arraigned,
and complained of th© frequent changes .of officers
which took place in the office of Secretary- of State
for the Colonial Department, and expressed his opinion
that the appointment of a Board of Directors, or Com-
missioners—call them what they pleased—would' be at-
tended with advantages, which would correct th e. inconw
veniences which the charges of which he coal plained
gave rise to.
Mr. URQUHART called the attention of thy House
to the adjournment of the debate, and supported it.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had no objectio n to the
adjournment of the debate.
Mr. SCOTT—Then I move the adjournmer it of the
debate for a fortnight.—Agreed to.
SIERRA LEONE.
Mr. ANSTEY rose to move for papers relating to the
charges brought by Governor Macdonald against Tho-
mas O'Brien, Esq., late Colonial Secretary of Sierra
Leone, and the counter charges by the latter gentleman
against the former, and the decision of the Colonial-office
on the subject. The Hon. Gentleman was 'proceeding
to address the House, when
An HON. MEMBER moved that the House be counted.
There being only 34 Members present, the House
stood adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve o'clock.

by the Congregational and other Nonconformist
bodies. Dr. Hamilton had been suffering severs ly for
some weeks from cellular erysipelis in the left am 1. On
.Sunday the symptoms became very alarming,and at one

PLAINT BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND FILIAL—ID this a stonishing
case the whole of the body and legs were covered with lux ape nearly
the siae of Tonquin beans, and had been so for the last thy •ty years
surprising to relate this terrible disease completely dispm :ared front
the system m the course of a months, by having large qt tantities of
the ointment well rubbed in every night and morning, and taking the
pills in copious doses. This cure is known to many 3' expectable
people, as the vessel was discharging her cargo in the Ti .ames only
about a fortnight since.—Sold by all druggists, and at Prol essor Hol-

SWEDISH POTATOES.—A vessel arrived 'from Go-
thenburg has brought 35 sacks of potatoes, aH a portion
of her cargo, the produce of Sweden. This is a very un-
usual article of importation from this European state,
