LIVERPOOL.

Mr. WARBURTON moved, as the only means of
bringing the inquiries of the Liverpool Election Com-
mittee to a close in the present session, that the number
of five Members of the Committee should constitute a
quorum.

Lord SANDON contended that the number of five was
insufficient to du justice in a question of so much im••
portance, and moved, as an amendment, that the quorum
should consist of eight Members.
After considerable discussion, the House divided—
For the original motion B5
For the amendment 2B
Majority —67
Adjourned at half-past three o'clock this morning.

The Duke de CAZES, who was formerly Am..
bassador here for a short period from Louts XVIII., is
again spoken of in the diplomatic circles, as the probable
successor of Prince TALLEYRAND, but it is thought that
the former statesman aspires to a portefeuille in the pre-
sent Cabinet. It is expected that should the treaty of the
22d May be carried into effect, the venerable Plenipoten-
tiary of the King of the FRENCH Will leave England in
October or November.

A valuable parcel by the steam-boat from
Amsterdam, containing bonds and inscriptions of foreign
stock, and addressed to a mercantile house in the City,
was opened this morning at the Custom-house, and de-
livered to the owner with all the seals broken, and exposed
consequently to depredation by any hand through which
it might previously pas', without any means of fixing
with certainty on the depredator. This has been corn
plained of, and with justice, as an outrage on private
property, which ought not to pass without notice. The
object of it, which has not yet been exactly ascertained,
seems to have been either that of searching for contraband
goods on the part of the Custom-house, or for letters and
newspapers by the agents of the Foreign Post-office. In
either case, respect to private rights and private property
of the immense value which is constantly passing in this
way between London and the Continent should have led
the public functionaries, whoever they were, to affix their
own seal, so that it might be known, in case of loss,
where to apply. The parcel referred to contained, within
and without, more than twenty seals, all of which were
broken. Times.

EITENSIVE FORGERIES ON THE BANE
OF ENGLAND.-51r. THOMAS, the superintendent, has
recently been actively and successfully engaged in tracing
out and detecting the issue of a great number of forged
bank notes, varying in amount from 101. to 5001, which
it appears have been passed off at gambling houses in the
bustle of play, and which at the moment have escaped
detection. These notes, it would seem, have been manu-
factured for this express purpose, and is the result of a
plan originally suggested by the celebrated COSTER. Mr.
THomAs has sanguine hopes of being able to detect the
channels through which these frauds have been committed.
As the speculation has been simultaneously carried into
effect in different parts of the country at the same time,
there is no knowing the extent to which this fictitious
paper has been circulated. It will, at all events, have the
effect of rendering both the keepers of the tables and the
wooers of fortune in this way, not alone to be careful of
the quality of the paper which passes through their hands,
but, where they can, to require gold, instead of its flimsy
substitute.
