with faintness and cold sweat. In
tahseth
this state I cuntinueu for several months. I consulted
heart,m asthma,

r and he could say the first thing creditors
arrest was the placing the estate in hatikruptcy.r.Q.4".„,,

in hankropteS. were Ker.ll
rather hard upon the creditor thas he s',ouid
i to sustain the loss of his debt, but should,

injured by that loss being made public.
I Lord BROUGHAM said that the remarks of the lasts Biker
were opposed to the demand for judicial statistics. • *"5
Mr. RANKIN would do away with the official assignee,
and got tradesmen to administer the estate of the bankrupt.
Lord BROUGHAM mentioned that sir. Smith, M.P. a mem-
ber of the ba,..kfug house of Smith, Payne, and Co., ha in the.
House of Commons stated that he was opposed to the appoint-
meat of trade assignees, although by the substitution of offi-
cial assignees for them his owe. establishment would lose 1:
about 7,0001, per annum.

Mr. RANKIN then proposed a resolution to the effect tht
it was the opinion of the int,etiog that the bankruptcy )aws
had proved ineffie ent for the purpose for which they bad
been enacted, that the cone were excessive, and that it was
desirable that the creditorssheuld.,4avo the control over the
administration of the. estate..

Mr. HOLLAND, of Liverpool, thought that the great object
of the conference should be to endeavour to bring before the
Government those proposals for improvement which were
most prominent, and on which there was the greatest amount
of agreement. He should therefore move that a deputation
should be appointed to wait on the head of her Majesty's Go.
vernment, and call his attention to the defects in the admi-
nistration of the bankruptcy law, more especially with a view
of diminishing the expense of the proceedings, and to throw
the cost of compensation on the Consolidated Fund.
Yr. A. PILLATT spoke in favour of the total abolition of
imprisonment for debt.
Several other gentlemen having similarly_ expressed them-

selves,
Mr. HEADLAM seconded the motion of Mr. Holland, which
was, after some further conversation, adopted by .the
meeting.
Mr. CRAUFURD then laid before the conference his proposed,
Judgments Execution Bill, which, met with the approval of
the delegates present.
Mr. RANKIN then brought up the report of the committee
appointed on the previous evening to consider the question of
the principle of summary diligence, reporting completely in
its favour.
The proceedings of the morning's sittings then terminated.

INDIA.

The Governors of the Presidencies are at their
respective seats of administration.

The Madras Atheneum says :—" Dost Mahomed
according to the latest accounts was expected at
Peshawur on the 10th of the current month, to
confer with the Chief Commissioner of the Punjab
on the present aspect of affairs. En the Punjab it
is generally believed that a large army will be con-
centrated, within the next three months, at Pe-
shawur, but whether the force is merely intended
for the protection of British interests in the event
of 'accidents' or for active operations, is of course
not known." •

The Bombay Times mentions a rumour that a
'requisition for troops had been addressed by Ad-
miral Seymour to the Governor- Genera;, but thinks
there is little possibility of their being furnished
from India.

Sir Henry Leeke had returned to Bombay in the
A•saye, bringing with him stato prisoners, yiz. :

COMMERCIAL FAILURES.

The suspension has been announced of Messrs.
F. and A. Bovet, an old established firm in the
trade with China, with moderate liabilities. Their
difficulties are understood to have been principally
caused by the late heavy fall in the silk-market.
The stoppage has a!so taken place of Messrs. C.
A. Jonas and Co., general merchants, who have
been brought down by the recent failures in the
North of Europe. Their liabilities are supposed to
amount to about 100,000/.
A meeting of creditors of Messrs. J. Foot and
Sons, silk manufacturers, whose suspension was an-
nounced on the 10th ult., was hold yesterday,
when by a statement of affairs submitted by Mr.
Jay, the accountant, the liabilities were stated to
be 2'7,6401., while the assets were estimated at
24,472/. after deducting for certain claims to be
paid in full. A proposition that a composition be
accepted of 15s. in the pound, payable in instal-
ments extending over 18 months, was agreed to,
and two creditors were appointed to act as in-
spectors.

THE INDEIINITY BILL.

On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer the
house resolved itself into a Committee to consider the
Bank Charter Act (7th and Bth Vic. cap. 32).
_ _

Mr. FITZROY in the Chair.

This Act and the Royal Speech having been previously
referred to the Committee, the Cbaiimau read the pas.
sage in the Royal Speech relating to the subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then
BMA—I rise for the purpose of bringing under the atten.
tiO° of the house the question which, as has been stated
in the extract frointhe gracious Speech from the Throne,
has led to the assembling of Parliament before the usual
time. In order that the Committee may fully understand
the nature of the act of her Majesty's Government which
has induced the directors of the Dank of England to in-
fringe the provisions of the statute, and thus:: rendered it
obligatory upon me to ask the house to give its consent
to a Bell of Indemnity, it will be my duty to call their
attention to the existing state of the law. Sir R. Peel, in
tha coarse of his long political career, induced the Le-
gislature to agree to two important Acts relating to the
currency, which were in point of time separated from
each other by a quarter of a century. The first of.theae
Acts, as is well known to the Committee, was passed in
1819. It restored the currency to its proper metallic
hoojes-put an end to the state of things existing durin
and
war---a state of suspension of specie
payments,
established the convertibility of a bank note.
After that
Act had been passed the power of the Bank of England
to isime notes was unlimited in point of extent. They
were only subject to the condition of being payable in
gold on demand, and the power of establishing country
