To that observation he would answer, that it was ne-
cessary to keep up that- establishment, because_ a mo-
nopoly must exist somewhere,
_and he did not think it
could be in better hands than those of the Govern-
ment. If, however, it should be found that the con-
venience of the public was in any way impeded
by that monopoly, undoubtedly it was a subject of just
grievance, and ought to be remedied. (Hear, hear. )
With regard to the complaint of the hon. member for
Greenock with respect to the mail-coach establish-
ment in Scotland, he would merely observe, that if a
greater number of coaches were required in Scotland,
he had no doubt that there would be no want of con-
tractors to supply the deficiency, if they conceived
that the speculation would be sufficiently pro-
fitable for them to embark their capital in it.
On the whole, he did not think there was
any great occasion for the appointment of
the commission which it was the object of
the present motion to obtain, and therefore' he did
not consider that it would be right to address his Ma-
jesq on the subject, because if the house considered
that the improvements going on at the Post-office were
a sufficient indication of the wish of the persons con-
nected with that department to afford every practical
convenience to the public, there would be no necessity
for the appointmeut of a commission on the subject.
With regard to the excise commission appointed last
year, it was not a case in point, because in that in-
stance it was impossible to gain the information sought
for without it, but as regarded the Post-office the case
was different. If, after the improvements which were
contemplated in that department had been carried into
effect, a commission should still be necessary, he could
have no hesitation in saying that it should be granted ;
but considering that such a commission was not neces-
sary at present, he felt bound to oppose the motion,
and he trusted that the house would oppose it also.
Mr. BUCKINGHAM wished to state a. few facts
on the subject. Formerly the foreign and colonial
mails were always taken by Post-office packets, but of
late years they had'been taken by the King's ten-gun
brigs. The consequences had been most disastrous.
From 1793 to the present time, not a single Post-
office packet had foundered, while, within the last
six years, no ' fewer than seven of the King's ten-
gun brigs had foundered. ( Hear.) Every seaman
knew, that although these ten-gun brigs were well
adapted for figlrting,they were not at all adapted for the
duties of packets In one instance, specie enough
had been lost to aay for a whole' set of new packets, to
way nothing livesof and letters. The duties also
which were imposed on letters and newspapers from
the colonies were enormous. When he came from
Calcutta, he had to pay 301. duty for a set of news-
papers ; and when he observed that they were of
great importance to him, he was told that he ought
to pay more on that account. He was convinced
that no step could be more popular than ;so to reduce
the Post-office duties as merely to make them pay
the expense of transmission ; or if there were a small
surplus, to apply that surplus to the creation of new

Mr. LABOUCHERE denied that the gun-brigs
were so insecure as they were represented to be by the
hon. member for Sheffield. It was the intention of
the Board of Admiralty gradually to substitute vessels
on a new principle, for those which were at present
employed in the Post-office service.
Major BE AUC LE RK thought his hon. friend had
done much service in bringing the subject under the
consideration of the house. But after what had oc-
curred, recommended-him to withdraw his motion till
the next session of Parliament.
Mr. ROLFE expressed his satisfaction at hearing
that it was the intention of the Board of Admiralty
gradually to withdraw from the Post-office the descrip-
tion of vessels now employed upon it.
Mr. BARRON adverted to the inefficient state of
the packets on the Milford and Dunmore stations.
The distance was only eighty miles ; yet fourteen
hours were consumed on their passage, which, on the
average, ought to be made in ten hours and a half.
The coaches were also very tardy ; so that, upon the
whole, the merchants in the south of Ireland received
their letters six hours later than they ought to receive
them.
Mr. WOOD observed, that the hon.. gentleman
who bad just spoken was, perhaps, not aware that the
rackets had been accelerated during the last season.
Mr. EWING complimented the Duke of Rich-
mond, on the zeal and intelligence which he had dis-
played while he was at the head of the Post-office De-
partment.
Sir P. .STUART did not think that any case had
been made out against the Post-office. The Duke of
Richmond had laid the foundation of principles which
must lead to 'progressive_ improvement in that depart-
ment. •
Mr..WALL ACE said, that all the arguments he
had heard only confirmed him in his original opinion.
He would notice only two or three matters which had
not been properly stated as to the mail coaches ; they
were both built and horsed without any open tender,
the rides only being disposed of by tender, in which
department, it was well known, there was no room
for jobbing. With regard to Sunday detention, his
views had- been entirely misrepresented from the
other side ; he had not proposed there should be a
delivery of letters on the Sunday ; his demand was,
that the communications of all civilized Europe
should not be detained forty-eight hours every week in
this metropolis, merely to accommodate a few well-paid
Post-office officials ; and lastly, as to a consolidation
of Post-office laws, he begged leave to tell the noble
lord (the Chancellor, of the Exchequer) that he must
have forgotten having told the hon. member for Mid-
dlesex _on, a former occasion during this session, that
the Government had no intention of bringing for-
ward a bill for the consolidation of these laws,
which he (Mr. Wallace) believed to be one great
cause of the unsatisfactory state of the Post-office.
Hoping, however, that the discussion which had taken
place would have a tendency to correct the evils of
which lie complained, although he would not withdraw
his motion, he would not press it to a division.
The motion was then negatived without a division.
ROYAL ACADEMY.
Mr. E WART postponed (but until what day we
were unable to ascertain) his motion for a select com-
mittee to inquire into the state of the Royal Aca-
demy ; into its influence on the Arts ; and into the
propriety of -enlargiug or otherwise altering its exist-
ing constitution.
WINDOW TAX.
Mr. THICKNE S SE, after a few observations
:which the noise and conversation in the house pre-
vented us from hearing, further than that we believe
the hon. gentleman contended that the present system
„favoured the aristocracy on all occasions, moved, that
after the end of the present financial half-year, the-
' duty on each _window above the number of thirty-nine,
in any dwelling-house in Great Britain, should be the
• same as was now chargeable on each window above
the number of eleven, and below the number of forty.
The SPEAKER informed the hon. member that
it was irregular to bring the 'subject forivard in that
stage. He. rhust move that the house should resolie
itself into a committee upon it.
Mr. THICK NE SSE accordingly moved that the
house should resolve into a committee to consider the
Window Duty Acts.

Lord ALtHORP observed that the points to
which the hon. member had alluded had attracted his
attention ; but that the particular pressure was so
slight, that he had not thought it worth while to bring
• the subject forward for the consideration of Parliament.
If any alteration were to take place, it ought to be at
both ends of the scale. The anomalies which had
been pointed out should, however, again command his
earnest attention. ( Hear.)
Mr. HUME said, he was glad to find it was the
. intention of the noble lord the Chaheellor of the Ex-
' chequer to attend to the anomalies that had been
pointed out, and would, therefore, recommend the
hon. member ( Mr. Thicknesse) to withdraw his motion.
Mr. THICKNE SSE withdrew his motion.
CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS.
Mr. HESKETH FLEETWOOD rose to bring
forward his motion for a " select committee to inquire
into the duties, qualifications, modes of appointment,
expenses, responsibilities, and all other matters relating
to the character and condition of his Majesty's Consuls
resident in foreign states, with a view to rendering
those functionaries more' efficient in advancing the
- strictly commercial interests of British subjects, in
securing the due protection of their persons and pro-
Perties abroad, in collecting and furnishing information
connected with trade, and otherwise in preserving old
and opening new channels of commercial inter-
course." The honourable gentleman said he had
reason to suppose that the advanced state of the
salon was the only circumstance which would have
any influence with his Majesty's Ministers in their con-
duct, should they have determined on opposing the
motion of which he had given notice. But when he
reflected that Ministers had themselves so very lately
pursued a similar course, with reference to another
subject, he did not see with what propriety they could
plead the ad.,catOin v
anced period to which the session had
ran RP justification for opposing him. Besides, every

hon. gentleman in that house must be aware of the
early notice which he. gave of his intention to move
for a committee—of the constant attendance he had
paid at all times, in the hope of the opportunity of
being heard—and of the utter impos,Foility of earlier
introducing the subject to the house. Therefore, he
hoped that Ministers would advance no such plea as a
ground for opposing him, or that, if they did so, the
house would not think it right to sanction it. And
how could he be sure that the subject would have
due attention at as early a period as possible ? Could
he have any definite understanding that some advance
should be made in the matter at an early period of the
next session, he would cheerfully consent to wait.
The consular department, it could not be denied, had
been long in anything but an efficient state ; but this,
surely, would hardly excite surprise in the minds of
those who reflected on the variable circumstances on
which it was placed, owing to changes in the Ministry,
and other causes. But the fact was, that the whole
system was based on wrong principles, and it could
not, therefore, be expected to work well for the com-
mercial interests of the country. Investigation judi-
ciously carried on, so as to sift the matter thoroughly,
would- alone remedy abuses, and open the path to fu-
ture good. During the last summer, it had been his
lot to make an extensive tour on the Continent, and he,
of course, took every opportunity—as indeed was the
duty of each member of that house—of inquiring into
every matter which might, either immediately or re-
motely, bear upon the interests of his country. Even
at Calais he found regulations subsisting which were
most detrimental to our trade ; and in various parts of
the country items in treaties which ought to command
the immediate attention of every consul, who was
solicitous to extend the commerce of his country,
and, through him, of the government. If, then, he
found disadvantageous regulations so near home, what
might he not suppose to be in existence in more dis-
tant regions ? He was not a little surprised to find that,
under a treaty made in the year 1827, the sum of four-
teen francs had been added to the duty previously
levied on coal and iron entering France, by which the
impost now amounted, on 2241b5. of iron,' to no loss
than thirty-two francs. Sweden had greatly the ad-
vantage over our merchants,_ and so had many other
countries in various ways. But these matters were not
known, and would not be till our consular department
was more efficient, and till existing commercial treaties
were fully and thoroughly. understood by them. He
held the opinion that the character of a consul-should
be strictly and purely commercial ; that his habits
should have been formed to commercial pursuits, and
that he should have a sound and comprehensive know-
ledge of the bearings of our trade. Experience in
these matters was everything—without it we could
never hope to be without constant and heairy losses.
Hitherto it had been the custom to appoint as consuls
men selected from any department of the public ser-
vice, however alien his pursuits might have previously
been to the duties which he was called upon in his new
character to discharge. Practical knowledge was the
essential qualification, and this ought never to be lost
sight of. Now, the first step, in his opinion, towards
improving the consular department, was to take it
entirely away from the control of the Foreign-office,
and place it under the management of the Board of
Trade. Let this be done, and the result, he was satisfied,
would be highly honourable to the public service andmost
advantageous for the interests of our commerce. That
kind of skill which was desirable at the Foreign-office,
and which was frequently billeted on the consular de-
partment was not always the most beneficial. Diplo-
matic talent was seldom advantageous in commercial
negociation. There was another point to which he
was desirous of calling the attention of the house. h
was well known there was a vast mass of statistical in-
formation, which could and ought to be procured by
the consuls, the circulation of which would be at-
tended with the best results in this country. The
acquisition of all such documents ought to be a special
instruction to every gentleman representing the com-
mercial interests of this country in foreign parts. He
really was at a loss to find any statistical inform-
ation that had been furnished by our government
agents, save and except one solitary census of Ame-
rica, which was in the library of that house. In Spain,
a census had been made in 1797—0ne in Prussia, in
1817—of France, Sweden, Belgium, and other coun-
tries at various periods ; but one only census would be
found in their library, and that an old one, of America.
He would conclude by observing, that, in his opinion,
the consuls should be classed, so as to see which con-
sulates it was desirable to give to Englishmen and
which to foreigners ; and that an inquiry should be
made into the desirableness of paying them by fixed
salaries, and.of nominating assistants to each appoint-
ment, so that an efficient number of experienced indi-
viduals, might be always at_hand to meet the exigen-
cies of the service, and protect and extend the com-
merce of the country..
Mr. HUME seconded the motion.
Lord PALMERSTON admitted that the subject
was one of great importance, and of general interest,
but he objected to the appointment of a committee in
the present session. The number of committees then
sitting was very great, and he had had no opportunity of
paying attention to the subject by considering in what
way the consular establishment should be fixed for the
future. He, however, should have no objection to the
appointment of a committee in the next session, and,
indeed, he was anxious to give explanations of various
details connected with the subject, respecting which
great mistakes prevailed. Under these circumstances
he would reply to only a few points which had been
urged by the hon. member. In the first place, he felt
justified in declaring that the present consular esta-
blishment was far from being inefficient, and that the
individuals who composed it were, generally speaking,
able and intelligent men. The hon. member appeared
to.be under the impression that it was owing to some
defect in the consular establishment that the duties on
iron and coals imported into France were not placed
on a better footing. The fault rested neither with the
diplomatic nor consular departments, the fact being that
our Government, after the restoration of peace between
this country and France, had considered it better that
each country should regulate its own tariff, without
being bound by any treaty. If the hon. member
meant to say that in our treaties of peace we did not
obtain commercial advantages commensurate with the
triumph of our arms, his (Lord Palmerston's) reply
was, that it was a mistaken policy to attempt to over-
reach our neighbour by commercial bargains, and
that the better way was to trade with all the world
on equal terms. ( Hear.) Although it might appear
on the first blush, that a nation derived great advan-
tages from abeneficial treaty, yet it would be found that
no country could employ such advantages to the detri-
ment of another for a long time. The hon. member
thought that the consuls should possess a more com-
mercial character than at present, and that they
should be under the immediate management of the
Board of Trade. Now a consul partook in a great
measure of a diplomatic, as well as commercial charac-
ter, and therefore it was better that he should be under
the control of the Foreign Secretary. Besides,
whatever statistical- information was required by
,the
Board of Trade was obtained through the Foreign
Office, and the hon.' member would be astonished at the
extent of information which was gained in this way. In
conclusion, he assured the hon. member that he
would agree to a similar motion next ses-
sion, and if the honourable member did not
_pro-
pose the appointment of a committee, he (Lord
Palmerston) would not neglect to do so. (Hear.
Mr. FLEETWOOD expressed himself perfectly
satisfied, and withdrew his motion. •
GAME CERTIFICATES.
Major BEAUCLERK moved the appointment of
a committee to inquire into an illegal charge for a game
certificate, made upon Mr. Lidmin, by a collector, at
the Wandsworth Petty Sessions.

Mr. O'CONNELL moved for copies of the in-.
structions issued by the Commander-in-Chief relative
to the raising and calling up from the out-pension list
the late New South Wales' Veteran Companies._
Ordered.
Lord S ANDON obtained leave to bring in a bill
to extend the Act (1 Will. IV.) for the more effee.
tual protection of stage coach proprietors and common
carriers to the owners of steam and other vessels.
Mr. T. BARING obtained leave to bring in a bill
to amend the laws relating to the collection and ma-
nagement of the revenue and excise.
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURTS BILL.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that the
house resolve itself into a committee of the. whole
house on the Central Criminal Courts Bill.
Mr. HUME begged to ask the hon. and learned
gentleman, first, what he assumed the expense of the
establishment at present to be ? Secondly, what the
prospective expense would be ? And, thirdly, at what
period the salaries should be taken as a criterion for

the compensation to be given to the officers who should
be discharged in consequence of the bill ? He doubted
the policy of .allowing the Lords of the Treasury to
interfere with the county rates, which were properly
placed solely under the control of the magistrates.
Mr. HUGHES HUGHES defended the part of
the bill which allowed the clerks compensation.

Mr. WARBURTON said that the question was,
what the income of those gentlemen-was at the period
of accepting their present offices, and if their income
would be less after the passing of this bill than it then
was?

Mr. HAWES opposed the bill.
Mr. DENISON said, that if those gentlemen re-
quired compensation, they ought to, come forward and
prove the loss they sustained. He supported the bill.
Mr. AGLIONBY hopei that the house would con-
sider well before they adopted the principle of compen-
sation in this, case. In his opinion, they were not en-
titled to compensation, for they accepted of the offices
for better for worse, and were, therefore, bound to
abide by them, whether they rose or fell.
After a conversation, in which Mr. ROTCH and the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL took apart, the house divided on
the question of going into committee on the compen-.
sation clause, when there appeared—
For the motion l4

INlajority anr'ainst the motion —l3
After a few words from Mr. ROTCIL and another
Hon. MEMBER, the house went into committee on the
bill.

On the second clause being read,
Mr. HAWES proposed, as an amendment, that the
word Surrey" be omitted, ac Kent and Essex were
not in the same situation as that county.
Mr. HUGHES opposed the amendment. He
thought the clause would be better as it stood.
Lord HO WICK was, of opinion that the amend-
ment of the hon. member could be more properly in-
troduced, and his objections to the clause stated, when
they came to the 15th clause.
Mr. HAWES adopted the suggestion of the noble
lord, and withdrew his amendment. . .

The clauses up to the fifteenth having been agreed
to, the house resumed, when the chairman reported
progress, and obtained leave to sit again this day.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the house adjourned at two o'clock.

ECO.N EDITIO%.

SUN OFFICE, seven o'clock.

FINSBURY ELECTION.

(THIS DAY.)

(Continued from our First Edition).

Mr. BABBAGE continued—After sixteen years spent
in designing a machine for the benefit of the navy, he
had not received a single shilling, or even thanks.
( Cheers.) He thanked the electors for hearing him
so patiently,. and felt no doubt that he would be the
member for the Borough on Tuesday next.
Mr. DUNCOMBE then addressed the electors. He
stood there as the friend and supporter of civil and
religious liberty. In supporting the Reform Bill, he
never considered it a final measure. He voted against
the clause for the division of counties. If he was re-
turned, he should endeavour to get that obnoxious
clause excluded from the Reform Bill, which made it
imperative upon every person to pay all the taxes be-
fore he was entitled to a vote. He was favourable to
the Dissenters, and thought it the height of injustice
that persons of one persuasion should pay for the sup-
port of another. (Cheers.) He had been accused
with being a government candidate. All that he had
to say to that charge was, that he had nothing to do
with the government, and was in no way connected
with it. He had been asked why he supported Sir J.
Hobhouse ? He, did so because, although he thought
him mistaken, yet he believed him honest. (Great
confusion.) If he should be returned, and he did not
fulfil all he had promised, if he was called upon, he
would instantly resign the trust that had been reposed
in him. ( Cheers.)
Mr. WAKLEY came forward amid great cheering,
which lasted several minutes. One of the candidates,
in his opinion, stood in a most disgraceful situation,
for could it be believed that it were necessary after he
had been three several sessions in Parliament, to go
through all his Parliamentary life in order to induce
the electors to elect him. ( Great confusion.) He de-
tested Tories, but every man had a right to obtain the
suffrages of the electors if he could. As he was a
little hit of phrenologist, he had surveyed Mr. Pow-
nail's head, and he was sure that he was an honest and
conscientious man. Of Mr. Babbage, if he was so
great and learned a man as he was stated to be, it was
a pity that he was not occupying the chair at Cam-
bridge. Mr. Duncombe had come like a rat-catcher
with the ticket upon his back—he came there stating
that lie was the late member for Hertford. He did
not know upon what principles he came there, without
it was as a Whig. The government did not much like.
him ( Mr. W. ), because he was the poor man's friend, and
they had done all they could to keep him out of Par-
liament, but he would promise them he would be there,
and that very shortly too. ( Laughter.) Mr. Dun-
combo was a great nominee, ant' was, of course, sup-
ported by the truckling government press. What
would the meeting think of a letter that was written
by Lord Althorp to Lord Brougham, stating that
there was to be a meeting for the purpose of consider-
ing whether government" should declare itself hostile
to the Times, or endeavour to make friends. That
letter was sent to the Times, under the signature of
Veritas. That letter was dated on the 19th of June,
hence the commencement of the present contest.
(Great cheering.) What had Mr. Duncombe done
when in Parliament—had he endeavoured to lessen the
pension list ? No. He had no doubt what the result
of the election would be, but had Mr. Babbage given
up, be should not have been so certain of it. He was
sure that he should be elected, and if he was, the'
electors would always find him do Lis duty, and show
his gratitude by his conduct in Parliament (Great
cheering.)
Mr. DUNCOMBE, in explanation, said, that he had
been instrumental in removing several pensions from
the pension-list when he was in Parliament.
The Returning Officer then took the show of
hands, which he declared to be in favour of Thomas
Wakley, Esq., amid great and long continued cheering.
A poll was then demanded in behalf of Mr. Dun-
combe, Mr. Pownall, and Mr. Babbage, which was
ordered to be taken on Monday and Tuesday next.
We cannot close our report without stating that the
greatest credit was due to the persons who had the
superintendence of the arrangement. The erection
of the hustings reflected the greatest credit _upon Mr.
Suckling.
