LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1835.

There arose a very inept discussion last night in the
House of Commons, on the subject of Lord LUMLEY'S
right to sit in the House, his father the Earl of SCARBO-
ROUGH, a Peer of the realm, being dead. Sir ROBERT
PEEL, with somewhat more positiveness than he usually
displays on questions such as this, in which of course he
cannot be influenced by any interested motive, maintained
that Lord LUMLEY may exercise all the functions of a repre-
sentative of the people until he is summoned by the
Peers. to take his seat in the Upper House, and that it would
be a very hard case indeed were the Noble Lord's consti-
tuents to be deprived of his services, in the event of his
failing to make good his title to the Peerage. We do not
agree with the Right Hon. Baronet, either in his constitu-
tional law, or in his argument. If constituencies will choose
the sons of Peers for their representatives, they must sub-
mit to the inconveniences attending such a choice. When the
electors of Nottinghamshire chose Lord Lu Nt LEY, they knew
that he was the eldest son of a Peer, and that Peers do not
number araang.their privileges an exemption from the corn-
man lot of mortality.
With respect to the other point, we think the question is
simply this—is Lord LUMLEY a Peer, or is he not ?If he
is, he is so by inheritance, and his rights commenced at the
moment when his father expired. He may not choose to
exercise those rights, but he cannot divest himself of that
rank or character in the state which they give him, in spite
of himself. Now, supposing Lord LUMLEY sits and votes in
the House of Commons until the Lords are satisfied that he is
a Peer, and issue a summons to him to take his seat among
them, every vote he shall have given since his father's
death will be null and void, as having been given by a
Peer—a person labouring under a natural incapacity to be
a member of the House.

In the same manner, any Hon. Member who should
have the misfortune to be struck with lunacy would
vacate his seat ; and every act done by him during the
period of his mental aberration would be pronounced in-
valid. It is absurd to say that there is no danger in the
abuse of a single vote. The principle is the same as if half
the members of the House were in-the situation of Lord
LumLEv ; and we cannot forget that questions of the most
vital importance mty often be, and have often been, decided
by a single vote.
We will put a case—suppose that, by some chance or
other, Lord LUMLEY should be prevailed upon to vote
against the motion which Mr. HumE is to bring on to-
morrow for limit:ng, the Supplies to three months, and
the motion should be lost by a majority of one.would his
Lordship's vote be allowed to pass unchallenged ? 'We
suspect not. A vote entailing cn the country the con-
tinuance of great national calamity, were it only for a single
day, would be most rigidly enquired into.

Nothing of any particular interest took place last night
in the House of Lords. In the House of Commons, the
Chester Criminals' Execution Bill was read a second time.
A new writ was ordered for the University of Cambridge,
in the room of Sir C. M. SUTTON, now Viscount CAN-
TERBURY and Baron BOTTLSFORD. Mr. D. W.
HARVEY gave notice,. that en the 28th of April, when
his motion respecting the Pension List would come on,
he should move for a call of the House. In answer to an
observation made by Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. HurAtE ex-
pressed his belief that the motion for limiting the vote of
Supplies for three mcnees, would be made in Committee on
Friday, and not before the SPEAKER quitted the chair.
Sir J. CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Wiils'
Execution Bill, which was ordered to be referred to a Se-
lect Committee. The Newspaper Regulation Bill was also
read a second time, and went through Committee. Mr. Poui.-
TER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better Observance
of the Sabbath, which led to a brief and unimportant dis-
discussion. Mr. HUME, in a speech replete with good
sense, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the
English Reform Act, in so far as related to the time al-

lowed for voting, to the distribution of polling-books, and
the expenses of returning officers. After a long discussion on
the subject, in which Mr. SPRING RICE, Major C. BRUCE,
Colonel SI➢TIIORP, and Sir H. HARDINGE, took a share,
leave was given to bring in the Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY
obtained leave for the appointment of a Select Committee
to consider the most effectual means of preventing bribery,
corruption, and intimidation at elections. Leave was also
given to the LORD ADVOCATE to bring in a Bill to
regulate the Registration of the Estates of Bankrupts in
Scotland.

We recommend such of our readers as have a taste for

the ridiculous, to peruse Sir ROGER GREISLEY'S Address to
the-Electors of South Derby, (in justification of his vote
against the repeal of the Malt Tax,) which illumines the
Morning Post of this day. A droller affair we have not
. _ _

met with this many a day. It is equal to a speech by the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY. The Hon. Member, it

should be borne in mind, had promised his constituents on
the hustings, that he would vote for the repeal of the Malt

Tax, and—to quote his own words—" it was not un

Sunday evening that any idea occurred to me of voting
against Lord CHANDOS' motion ; but from what I heard
that evening, I began to suspect that by the faction in the

House of Commons, his motion was intended as a
ehicle to renew the attacks which on two previous

occasions had been made successfully on his MA
JEST Y'S Government, and I had reason to know

that if that plot succeeded, the Prime Minister could
not, consistently with his honour as a public man,
continue in office, but must resign. If he resigned, I knew
the inevitable result—the formation of a democratic cabal,
whose first measures would be, Annual Parliaments, Uni-
versal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Secularization of Church
Property, the Alienation of the Church from the State,
Confiscation of Private Property, the Abolition of the
Hereditary Peerage, National Bankruptcy, and Civil Wart
This black catalogue of horrors—each of which Sir
ROGER has commenced with a capital letter, in order that
it may haven still more alarming effect on the nerves of his
constituents—induced him to forfeit his pledge. He did not,
however, come to this determination without many sore mis-
givings and groanings in the spirit. " After a sleepless night,"
says he, "of deep and anxious reflection, in which I fore-
saw, with a kind of inspiration which I cannot explain,
but which has before occurred to me, the awful dilemma
in which we should be placed if the Government were
beaten, I made up my mind on the course I should pur-
sue." It would seem by this that the Hon. Baronet was
" inspired," and could not help himself. He had had a
" Cali" to vote against a repeal of the Malt Tax. The
fault was not his, but the Lord's. Fain would he have
kept faiths with his constituents, but to was prevented by
celestial interposition. That the Hon. Baronet is sincere
in this belief we doubt not ; but for our own parts, we must
be permitted to question its soundness. We saw no symp-
toms of " inspiration " in his speech the other evening ;
though it cannot be denied that in his present Ad-
dress he exhibits unequivocal proofs of that peculiar
wisdom " which passeth all human understanding."
We hope Sir ROGER'S constituents will be satisfied with
his plea of "inspiration." At any rate, it deserves praise, if
only for its exquisite originality. Think of a Legislator
alleging, in excuse for his having broken faith with those
who sent him to Parliament, that he was " inspired," and
could not help himself! Pray Heaven the infection do not
spread. Political " inspiration" is the most alarming form
in which the disease can manifest itself. PITT was an " in-
spired" Minister, and millions of " heaven-descended"
taxes were the consequence. As for Sir ROGER GREIS.•
LEY, the present is by no means his first attack. He has
a predisposition that way, as he himself assures us. His
case, therefore, should be closely watched by his constitu-
ents, or it may lead him to forfeit other pledges. By the
bye, talking of pledges, Sir FRANCIS BURDET I' seems in a
fair way of breaking one or more, with the Westminster
electors. Is he " inspired" too ?
Towards the close of his Address, the " inspired" ROGER
expressly states that it was his resolution to vote with Go-
vernment, that settled the business of the Malt Tax. " The
impulse given" he observes, with all the solemnity of one
conscious of celestial favour, " carried all before it." The
House heard him, and was convinced. When Balaana's ass
spoke, his " inspired" eloquence had the same miraculous
effect on all who heard him.

Estimating by its results the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL
on tile Malt Tax question, it would appear to have been
one of the most convincing ever delivered in Parliament.
The Hon. Member for Oldham expressly stated that he
knew there were at least 400 gentlemen composing the
new House, who stood pledged to their constituents to
vote for the repeal of the Malt Duties ; and yet out of
542 Members present, there was a majority against it of
158 !—Consistency ! but this difficulty was afterwards satis-
factorily explained away by Sir R. GREISLEY, as we shall
presently notice.
That it was an effective speech for the purpose designed
is unquestionable ; but there are some extraordinary points
about it, fiscally and philosophically considered, which de-
serve attention. It will be discovered, upon examination,
that the whole course of Sir ROBERT'S argument, which
went to prove that the impost was light upon the people,
and—because at once light, and an importantly productive
item in the public revenue—that it ought not therefore to
be removed, went furthermore to prove, that by simply
doubling this tax—and doubling a slight burthen cannot
make it very oppressive—an enormous increment of the
revenue would be thereby effected I Choice news this for
future Chancellors of the Exchequer !

In order to put an extinguisher upon false sympathy, he
ridiculed the supposition of beer being any longer the
" national beverage," and instanced the vast consumption
of other fluids, such as coffee, tea, and spirits, to establish
the impossibility that so much of these articles (bearing, by
the way, a larger rate of duty) being drank,' more beer
(bearing a less) could be consumed than now, even though
that duty were wholly reduced. He entered also into some
interesting arithmetical details, illustrative of the compara-
tive demand between recent and former periods, notwith-
standing the prodigious difference in rates of duty between
the beverages of beer and spirits ; whence it appears, that
whilst geneva bears 930 per cent., the rate on beer is ac-
tually next to nothing, and yet the former is the favourite
for choice. So much for beer being a national beverage.

Upon the subject of spirits, indeed, the Right Hon.
Baronet seems to entertain rather peculiar notions. The
generally received opinion of their deleterious influence upon
the national health, physical, if not moral, seems somewhat
inaccordant with his own. Mr. COBBETT took occasion to
observe that two bushels of malt would produce the same
quantity of spirit as three of barley ; but this the Premier
Zenied, and declared that, such being the fact, "he could
not understand—therefore, how it was possible G. the for-
mer to contain a larger quantity of nutritive quality than
the !atter." Hence, then, we are to infer that the nutritive
properties of a given food, solid or fluid, are proportionate
to the alcohol it contains ! Verily if his political doctrines
are no sounder than his dietary, he will soon fall into grie-
vous predicaments. _ _ _

Sir ROBERT subsequently expressed a fear that the di-
rect consequence of enabling the poor man to brew his
own beer from the raw material, by the reduction of the
present duties, (whilst now for an additional penny per
pot he can secure the charm of a good fire and of com-
pany") would, by reason of the advances that chemical
knowledge is now making, (chemistry is a mud-cot) be the
illicit distillation of spirits,rather than simple beer-brewing;
it may, however, be supposed that this dread arises rather
lest an infraction of the excise-law should occur, by an in-
dulgence in illicit elaborations, than out of an apprehended
injury to health, by the extraction of nutritive spirit from the
barley. .

These were not the only remarkable arguments elicited
by the debate. Sir. R. GREISLEY was pleased to propound
that the " suddenness and variety of the changes which
had taken place in the political circumstances of the
country, justified a man in voting to-day in a sense con-
trary to that in which he would to-morrow ; so that any
disappointed constituency has only to weigh an un ac-
countable vote by the standard of the Hon. Baronet's
ethics, and the mystery wilJ be removed. Who now will
deny that black is white, politically considered ? So much
for senatorial wisdom.

Lisbon Journals to the 26th ult. have been received,
which confirm all those changes in the Portuguese Ministry,
of which we gave an account in our Paper of yesterday.
In the legislative chambers the public business is conducted
with great regard to public decency, and the dignity of these
assemblies, considering the strength, firmness, and intelli-
gence of the Opposition. In accordance with the Consti-
tutional Charter, the number of Cabinet Ministers is
reduced to six, the casting vote resting with Prince AUGUS-•
rus, who is authorised to occupy a seat at the Council
Board. The same Charter enjoins Ministers not to send
any person out of the Kingdom in a diplomatic capacity, or
charged with any mission to the government of other
States, without having first obtained the consent of the
Cortes. Since the re-arrangement of the Cabinet, the
Duke of PALMELLA moved in the Cortes, that the Mar-.
quis of SALDANHA might be sent on a diplomatic mission.
The Motion was strenuously opposed, on the ground that
the Marquis's presence was necessary to secure the peace
of the country. A division took place, when the Motion
was carried by a majority of 55 to 37. The destination of
the Marquis is not known, but it is believed that he will be
sent to Paris.

Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has procured the libdra-
tion of the British troops, confined in the Castle of St.
George. They are at present on their way to this

country.

The Cortes have voted thanks to all foreign merchants,

individually, who assisted Portugal by loans and otherwise
against the Usurper MIGUEL.
On the 21st inst. the Government gave orders for burn-
ing called-in paper money to the amount of 400,000/. At
an early hour the condemned securities were accordingly
burned in the Rocio-square, in the presence of twelve in-
fluential merchants, to the great delight of a vast concourse
of people. .

The QUEEN and Prince AUGUSTUS are in good health
and extremely popular.

We have received New York Papers to the 19th of
February. Their contents are not worth notice, being
mere details of the dispute, or whatever else the public
choose to term it, between France and the United States,
on the subject of the liquidation of claims. Mr. ADAMS,
whose Speech in Congress in support of the PRESIDENT'S
views created so much excitement, has thought it prudent
to make another speech for the purpose of quieting the
ferment. Mr. ADAMS, it appears, has read Marc Antony's
harangue over the dead body of Caesar. After counselling
a war with France, and after succeeding in inflaming the
public mind, he now exclaims—

" Sweet friends ! good friends ! let me not stir you up
To any sudden flood of mutiny."

The express from Paris has arrived, bringing the French
Journals of Wednesday, which we have just received. The
Ministerial appointments have not yet taken place. The
Constitectionnel contains the following notice :—" Deputies
of every shade of opinion intend to meet to-morrow, the
10th of March, at three o'clock, in the Hall of the Con-
ferences, for the purpose of agreeing on the course proper
to be adopted in the Sitting of Wednesday. It is to be
wished that this meeting may be numerous." It is unne-
cessary to observe that the above is extremely satisfactory
to the liberal party, and that the Editor congratulates him-
self on its appearance.
It will beremembered that a Motion relative to the Mi-
nisterial appointments, was to have been made in the Chamber,
of Deputies on Saturday. It was not, however, brought for-
ward out of respect for the KING, and in order not to expose
the secret disorganization of the Cabinet. On Tuesday at one
o'clock, the President of the Chamber, accompanied by the
Secretaries, and attended by a few members, waited on his
MAJESTY at the Tuilleries, to present to him the project
of !such laws as were adopted at last sitting. The Presi-
dent was well received, and after the KING had been made
acquainted with the particulars of their message, addressed
them in the following words on the subject of the Motion
of Saturday.
" Gentleman—l am happy to have an opportunity to ex-
press to those who represent the Chamber of Deputies,
how highly I appreciate the prudence which it showed on
Saturday last, in defering the questions which could only
have increased our embarrassments. These embarrass-
ments are great ; on the one hand, I have to contend
against political passions, on the other hand, I have to com-
bat the personal repugnances of very honourable men, who
fear to take on themselves the burden of the Ministry
which they consider as too heavy for them. However, I
have the hope, that we shall soon succeed in surmounting
all difficulties ; and, at all events, there can result from our
efforts only a Ministry that represent the majority of the
Chambers."

It is stated in several of the Parisian Journals, that the
jalousies which existed among the members of the old
Cabinet have been entirely removed, and that they are
now ready to return to their respective offices, without a
murmur. SOULT is reported to have declared, that he will
not undertake the construction of a Government on any
terms. The KING is, therefore, driven to place his chief
reliance on M. TRIERS and Marshal GERARD.

The Brussels, German, and Baurdeaux Papers, received
this day, contain no intelligence of importance. The All-
gemeine Zeifung of the 6th inst . states, that during the last
illness of the Emperor FRANCIS, the funds fell at Vienna.
" Bank Shares varied between 1,227 and 1,230, closing at
1,225 ; the Five per Cent. Metalliques between 96 and
961 ; the Four per Cents. between 881 and 89 ; so that,
in those four days, the Bank Shares have fallen 122 florins
per share ; the Five per Cent. Metalliques 6, and the Four
per Cent. Metalliques 7 per cent. It is evident that the
speculators for a fall have more than recovered the losses
that they have latterly sustained."

His Majesty's ship Iliagicienne, Capt. PLUMRIDGE, has
arrived at Portsmouth, bringing accounts from Madras to
the extraordinary late date of the 15th December.
The expectations of war, and the negociations with the
Rajah of Joudpore,, are over. MAUN SING has come to
terms, and has agreed, amongst other matters, in conformity
to treaty, to " maintain his contingent in a state of efficiency
under fit and obedient commanders, who will be ready at
all times to co-operate with the British authorities." The
force destined for Joudpore was about to march against the
Shekawatee tribes, but it was supposed a demonstration of
of the strength on our part would be sufficient to frighten
them, as it had done the Joudpore RAJAH.
Lord WILLIAm BENTINCK returned to. Calcutta on the
14th of November, much indisposed. He was positively to
!cave for England on the 15th of March following, in his
Majesty's ship Curacoa.
Sir CHARLES T. METCALFE, Bart., was about to
assume the duties of Governor of Agra. The arrange-
ments had been completed.
An embassy from RUNJEET SINGH to the Governor-
General was on its way to Calcutta. It arrived at Alla-
habad on the 13th of November.

Another inundation took place in October last, by the
Maim Nuddic overflowing its banks. On the estate of the
Sumbh!poor RAJAH alone, 110 villages were swept away,
and 10 individuals drowned.

The Lord Bishop of CALCUTTA arrived at Madras in
the Enterprise steamer, on the IC,th of December, from his
visitation to Penang, and other places to the Eastward.

The Recorder has arrived in Dublin to dispose of
the arrear of pickpocket cases. Lord John Russell's castiga-
tion of his Worship should render him a much more pitiable
object than any of the unfortunate malefactors upon whom he
must soon have to pronounce sentence. His Worship has been
just tried in the House of Commons, found guilty, and'con-
demacd as a furious, factious, intolerant, and greatly overrated
demagogue.—Morning Register.

THE NEW PALACE.—On Tuesday the workmen
began to make preparations for erecting the gates at the grand
entrance of Buckingham Palace, under the noble archway.
The gates are of brass, similar in pattern to those under the
triumphal arch at the top of Constitution-hill. Her Mljesty
has been several times lately to inspect the Palace and give
directions to the decorators, upholsterers, &c. Lord Gran-
ville Somerset has o'iven directions to purchase the White
Horse livery stables and several hokises adjoining, to make 4
more commodious approach to the park on the Pimlico side.
The coach-stand is to be removed further down Jaynes-street.
COBBETT AND- THE TORY WHIPPER-IN.—All
our readers have heard of that very useful functionary, the
whipper-in of the Tories—Billy Holmes, whom the Reform
Bill has excluded from Parliament. This circumstance, how-
ever, does not prevent him rendering active aid to his party.
The following fact respecting this whipper-in and the Member
for Oldham, we have on the authority of a gentleman who
heard Mr. Holmes boasting of his exploit within the walls of
the House of Commons, on the second night of the debate on
the Address. In the exercise of his vocation, Mr. Holmes
plied the importer of Tom Paine's bones, and more effectually
to gain his point, took tea with him. The result was, as told
by Holmes, that though he could not get Cobbett's vote for the
Address, he received his assurance that he would not vote for
the amendment. This little fact may, perhaps, serve to en-
lighten some of our readers as to the character of the present
Ministry. Perhaps too, it may incidentally illustrate Cob-
bett's character, for the men with whom the Tories thus
tamper arc invariably such as they know to be of easy political
virtue.—Sheffield Independent..

LISMORE LIGHTHOUSE.---This sea-light, so salu-
tary to mariners, lately proved disastrous to a flock of Brente
geese (Anas Brenta) in a dark and stormy night. The poor
birds had made for the light as a place of refuge, and five of
them struck the building with such violence, that they were
killed on the spot. What is very remarkable, one of the geese
happening to strike against one of the large panes of the light-
room, which consisted of plate-glass a quarter of an inch thick
shivered it with such amazing force, that the scattering frag-
ments raised small pimples on the metallic reflectors. Five
lamps were extinguished by this sudden irruption ; but by the
presence of mind and activity of the light-keeper, all were re-
lighted in about half a minute, and a storm-pane (constantly
kept in readiness) was instantly applied. It is gratifying to
have to add, that the light-keeper referred to (by name Ro-
bert Selkirk) is the lineal descendant of Alexander Selkirk,
of Largo, better known to our readers by the title of Robinson
Crusoe.—Edinlnirgh Chronicle.
