My honour,' said he, obliges me to declare that
the reasons alleged for my banishment are altogether
unfounded. As a constitutional Prince, I have done
everything in my power to induce my nephew to
give liberal institutions to the country, in the hope
that the Government might be maintained. One
who is so anxious as I for the liberty of Italy can-
not be the cause of troubles.' The person selected to
communicate the order to the Prince was General
Palomba, formerly his preceptor, and who has always
remained attached to his person. The Ministry,
which seemed in a rather precarious position last
week, appears to be consolidated now. The Prince
has always been regarded as the most talented
member of the royal ;family ; the Count of Syra-
cuse, his brother, we are assured, has already gone
over to Piedmont. As for the Count Trapani, the
youngest of the King's uncles, he is now selling off
his horses and furniture, and pays no attention to
politics. The departure of the royal family is con-
sidered imminent. All their most valuable move-
ables have been taken to the palace at Gaeta, where
the Queen-Dowager still resides."

TRALEE SAVINGS BANK.

Captain ST A---C
POOLE, for Mr. O'Connell, asked the
Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would introduce a
bill this session for the purpose of distributing. the balance
of funds belonging to the late Tralee Savings Bank among
its depositors ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
there was a certain balance of money which was the un-
doubted property of the depositors, but the Commissioners
of the National Debt had no authority to direct a distribu-
tion. Under these circumstances it would appear proper
that some measure should be adopted for the relief of the
parties, but the question had been started at too late a period
of the present session to enable anything to be dons.

James Bigg to the Treasury, dated the 20th day of March,

lication of an edition of existing statutes.--The return was

THE. JERSEY CRAPAUDS.—The erapauds are
perhaps the most characteristic of all the island produc-
tions. The word is generally supposed to be the French
for toad; but the Jersey crapaud is a distinct animal.
Those who know old pictures, will remember certain
inu Lginary creatures in the temptations of St. Anthony,
and certain batrachian demons found only where no one
we aid wish to go after death—such are the Jersey crapauds.
"W*e recollect mistaking one in the moonlight for a small
dcg lying in the road; to our surprise instead of jumping
up it waddled off. In the sister island of Guernsey thdy
are said not to exist at all; hence the soubriquet of cra-
pauds as good-naturedly applied by the people of one island
to that ,et. the other.--Once a Week,

SUPPLY.

On the vote of £15,000 for affording increased accommo-
dation in the National Gallery,

Mr. CONINGHAM proposed that the Royal Academy
should be removed from that institution, inasmuch as they
had faUe 1 in the object for which they had been constituted.
The management of the Royal Academy fell, no doubt,
into the hands of the majority of the directors, who natu
rally regarded the interests of their own body instead of
the interests of the artistic world in general, as well as those
of the public. All he asked was a postponement of the con-
sideration of this question to another year.
Lord PALMERSTON said he thought his hon. friend
laboured under a misapprehension as to the facts of the
case. Upon this one point he believed they were gene-
rally agreed, namely, the advantage of the study and the
cultivation of the arts by the members of the Royal Aca-

EAST INDIA LOAN BILL.

The Duke of ARGYLL moved the first reading of this
1.111, which was to raise a certain sum of money (X 3,000,000)
to meet the deficit and outgoing in the construction of rail-
ways in India. The expenditure inlndia was very great, and
until the military expenses were reduced, he [did
not see any prospect of having the income of
that country brought to a balance with the expen-
diture. The mutiny in India had mainly led
to the deficit being made an addition to the Indian debt to
the amount of £40,000,000. Previous to the outbreak the
debt of India stood at £59,000,000 at 21 per cent., but
owing to the outbreak and expenses of the sup-
pression, it now amounts to 'D7,851,000, and
would, he thought, very shortly amount to £100,000,000.
Without they took active steps to reduce the expenses of
India, and place the expenditure on a more satisfactory
basis, it would saddle that country with a debt, which would
be a very serious matter.
This bill was read a first time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

NAVAL ARMAMENTS.

Mr. LINDSAY drew attention to this subject. The
hon. member said that the national expenliture for the
year was £76,400,000, and with the prospect of a bad har-
vest and the consequent discontent of the labouring classes,
there was actually more danger from within than without,
and it was more important that the Government should
seriously consider the effect of this increasing and enormous
national expenditure. Compared with France they had a
much larger number of vessels of war, and as regarded screw
steamers they had 2 to 1 as compared with that country.
He was one of th)se who believed that the commercial
treaty with France was calculated to lead to the greatest
benefits, but the naval preparations of this country were
likely to nullify the advantages of the treaty.
Mr. HADFIELD made a few observations to the same
effect.

TRALEE SAVINGS BANK.

Captain STAC POOLE, for Mr. O'Connell, asked the
Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would introduce a
bill this session for the purpose of distributing the balance
of funds belonging to the late Tralee Savings Bank among
its depositors
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
there was a certain balance of money which was the un-
doubted property of the depositors, but the Commissioners
of the National Debt had no authority to direct a distribu-
tion. Under these circumstances it would appear proper
that some measure should be adopted for the relief of the
parties, but the question had been started at too late a period
of the present session to enable anything to be dons.

THE STATUTE BOOK.
Mr. BAGWELL moved for copy of letters from Mr.
James Big!, to the Treasury, dated the 20th day of March,
the 3d of May, the 13th of June, and the 21st of July last,
respecting the reformation of the statute .book by the pub-
lication of an edition of existing statutes.—The return was
ordered.

WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION,

In reply to Sir W. GALLOWAY,
Mr. COWPER said he agreed with the hon. member
that the conduct of the Commission in question could not
be too strongly condemned as regarded the state of Vic-
toria-street. However, the Government could not now
interfere in the matter, but if the hon. member would move
for a committee of inquiry into the subject next session he
for one would not oppose it.

BRIDGE.

For many years past no fire has occurred in the
metropolis involving greater loss of valuable pro-
perty and materials of various kinds, especially
food, than that which destroyed in little more than
a couple of hours on Friday, at the dead of night,
the huge fabric known as the West Kent Wharf,
near London-bridge, with nearly the whole of its
multifarious contents. The edifice, six stories high,
exclusive of an extensive area of cellarage, and
having a spacious frontage abutting upon the
Thames, was a vast magazine filled from top to bot-
tom with provisions and commodities, including
corn, wool, feathers, seeds, jute, butter, bacon,
cheese, flour, and the like. Most of its contents
belonged to brokers and merchants who were in-
sured against loss by what are called floating
policies, representing in this instance in the aggre-
gate an almost fabulous sum. The principal of
these was on the wool stored in the building,
of which there is said to have been about
600 bales, valued at from £15,000 to £20,000, and
which is only about a tithe of the quantity of that
article housed in this particular wharf a few weeks
ago. The greater part of it belonged to the firms
of Jacomb and Son ; Brown, Eagle, and Co. ; and
Brown, Dunne, Salmon, and Co. ; all of them x-
tensive woolstaplers. Over and above floating
policies, upwards of £15,000 was insured on the
stock by Messrs. Hartley, the occupiers of the
wharf which has been destroyed, and above £18,400
on the building itself. The chief offices in. which
the insurances were effected were the Sun, the
Royal Liverpool, the Union, the London and Liver-
pool, and the Globe, most of which have had offi-
cers at the scene of the fire, yesterday and on
Saturday, superintending the disposal of the sal-
vage and wreck which choke up the ground-floor
and lower stories of the building in a mass of
hopeless confusion. Some considerable part
of the contents, consisting mostly of feathers,
butter, and bacon, are said not to have
been insured at all, and the consequent
loss 'will fall heavily on individuals. In the little
dock or creek of St. Mary's Overy, which separated
the building from the adjacent property on the
west, three barges laden with provision and mer-
chandise, one of them with tea, were literally sunk
by the falling masses of corn which poured from
the windows during the conflagration. By little
less than a miracle the long range of storehouse's,
known as Hibernia-wharf, belonging to Alderman
Humphery, and immediately adjoining the build-
ing which has perished, survive wholly uninjured
the destruction which at one time seemed inevit-
able. The fire, in fact, ended in the edifice in which
it originated, scorching only besides a few houses
on the opposite side of the creek. It originated,
beyond question, in the lighting of a gas burner by
a man employed on the premises, in a large room
on the ground floor, in which a quantity of jute was
stored. The books of Messrs. Hartley were saved,
by which they were enabled to estimate the loss
sustained by themselves and their customers.

ROYAL COMMISSION.

Col. CLIFFORD, yeoman usher of the Black Rod, sum-
moned the members to the House of Lords to hear the
Royal assent given to several bills.
The SPEAKER on his return announced the names of
the bills, for which see Lords' report.

PRIVILEGE-THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE
SAVING BANKS BILL.

On the bringing up of the report of supply,

Mr. MELLOR, who had the following notice on the
paper :—" To call attention to the refusal by the House of
Lords to entertain a bill sent up from this house, intituled,
A bill to make further provision with respect to moneys
received from savings banks and friendly societies; and to
the assumption by the House of Lords of the power of
limiting the time and prescribing the conditions upon
which bills sent up from the House of Commons shall be
received and entertained by the House of Lords,"
said that after he understood that her Majesty had afforded
the House of Lords an opportunity of reconsidering their
decision in regard to this bill, he had altered the form of
his original resolution to that in which it appeared on the
paper. The House of Lords had agreed to retrace their
steps, and decide on the measure with reference to its
merits. A very important constitutional question was in-
volved in this matter, and in the absence of hon. members
of high position and authority, he did not think he was
justified in proceeding further with the matter, but he
gave notice that early next session he would bring the sub-
ject forward.
