LONDON, FRIDAY. AUGUST 8, 1845.

The Lords met at Five.

Lord CAMPBELL asked whether it was intended to ap-
point Lords Justices to administer the royal functions
during Her MAJESTY'S absence on the Continent.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was not. Previous
to Her MAJESTY'S visit to France last year, Sir F.
POLLOCK bad given it as his opinion that it was by no
means necessary in point of law that such appointment
should be made, and he (the LOAD CHANCELLOR) con-
curred in the opinion. Her MAJESTY would be accom-
panied by one of her Secretaries of State ; under those
circumstances, considering her absence would bo for a
short time only, it was unnecessary to have a cumbrous
Commission appointed.
Lord CAMPBELL believed this was the first instance,
since the foundation of the monarchy, in which a Sove-
reign had been absent without such a Commission being
appointed.
The Earl of BESBOROUGH moved that a letter be sent
to each Peer on the first week of the ensuing session of
Parliament, requesting him to say when it would be con-
venient to him to attend on Committees on opposed Bills.
The DUKE of WELLINGTON- recommended that the
motion should be withdrawn for the present, and when
the proper time arrived for bringing it forward be should
be glad to render whatever aid he could to make it
efficient.

• Lord MONTEAGLE suggested that a resolution should
be passed that Bills for canals, railways, and docks
might be introduced in their Lorthhips' House. Such a
resolution would enable both Houses to proceed at the
same time, and they would be enabled to avoid the in-
judicious haste to which they were now compelled in
passing such Bills.

_
After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, the motion
was withdrawn.

On the motion of the Earl of DALUOUSIE, several
amendments in ti e standing orders relating to Railway
Bills were agreed to.
Lord REDESDALE, on behalf of Lord BROUGHAM,
moved certain resolutions, giving a power to Committees
on Railway Bills of awarding costs to the opponents of
such Bills.

The motion, which was opposed by Lord MONTEAGLE,
wa3 negatived without a division.

The Bills on the table having ',seen advanced a strgu
their Lordships adjourned.

In the rapid but clever review which Lord JOHN Bus-
SELL took, on Tuesday night last, of the labours of the
session that will close on Saturday next, there were two
omissions, upon which we deem it of more immediate
importance to offer a few remarks than to follow the
Noble Lord through his observations' on the state of
affairs in Ireland, and the condition of our foreign rela-
tions. The omissions to which we allude were, the over-
whelming difficulties attending the present mode of con-
ducting railway Bills through Parliament, and the very
unsatisfactory aspect of our monetary system, considered
in its general bearings, and in reference to the inevitable
influence ot'accumulated railway projects more especially.
With regard to railway Bills, and the method in
which the projects for their construction are discussed,
examined, and adjudicated upon, before Committees of
either House, it is impossible to deny that nothing can
be more unsatisfsetory than the course adopted since the
commencement of Committee business this session. It
is not only that, from the vast accumulation of projects,
all pressing for speedy investigation and report, the
number and extent of the preliminary inquiries to be
instituted far exceeds the capacity of all the physical
energies and business application of the individuals
before whom the merits of every such scheme are, in the
first instance, to be tested, but that the confused, slo-
venly, and hurried character of these investiga-
tions gives rise to contingent abuses, as well
as to immediate evils that largely involve the
interests of capital and the rights of property. A few
designing speculators can readily ascertain the fact that
Group X or Y occupies the Select Committee charged
with the railway business coming under that classification
much more incessantly and laboriously than Group B and
C respectively absorb the attention of their Committees.
On this discovery, such parties speedily concoct all
kinds of ingenious frauds in the nature of factitious
evidence to bolster up unlikely or suspected lines, to
tamper with the share appropriation lists, &c. How vast
a proportion of the time of Railway Committees may be,
and constantly is, occupied by matters foreign to the ques-
tion of the merits of the line under their consideratioK--
its expediency and practicability, probable advantages
to the public, and chance of profitable returns to its
proprietary—foreign to everything, in short, that it is
the main object of their appointment to ascertain—our
mailers cannot have failed to observe, in the long and
searching investigations which the_" Great Western,
Ireland," alias the Dublin and Galway Line Committee,
Were compelled to institute into the frauds which had
been practised upon, and the gross unfairness com-
mitted by, its management in the approptiation of the
C. pall 's hares.
In the meanwhile, he must be gifted with a large
excess of credulous simplicity, who can be per-
suaded that, amidst all the variety of inqui
ries—all these various classes of witnesses, these
conflicts of evidence, these organised deceptions,
tend concocted fits, traffic tables, vouchers, &e., the real
justice of the case is often satisfied by the selection of
the best line, or the reception of the soundest evidence,
or the
,recognition of the most genuine documentary.
pieces. The truth, we suspect, lies much more the other
way. The interest. ' of the public, the convenience of
the residents in large districts, and enormous amounts of
private capital, are much more frequently put in immi-
nent jeopardy, or pchitiveiy sacrificed, by the decisions
of Railway Committees, than duly consulted, or perma-
nently guaranteed. This resuit may be still more posi-
' Lively predicated of those cases in which there happen to
be one or more competing lines of railroad
between the same given extreme points. How is it pos-
sible, that when sixty, seventy, or au hundred new lines
are brought into Parliament in a single session, any num-
ber of Members of the Select Committees can find time
enough—not to spare for their leisure or their own busi •
ness, fur that they are no longer permitted to retain—
but from their other Parliamentary duties. to investigate,
sufficiently and properly, the surveys, reports, maps,
gradients, plans, and sections of the engineers, the con-
sents and dissents of proprietors, &c ; the contracts put
in, the calculations and estimates proposed fur their in.
spection, and the proofs by which they are to be sup-
ported? How are they to make themselves masters of
the reasons for and against every such undertaking, as
developed in the arguments of counsel, and the
evidence of want saes ? How are they to form their
own judgment between the very different conclusions ex-
pressed by those arguments, and the conflicting character
of the allegations made by the witnesses produced on be-
halt' of the supporters. as compared with the evidence of
the witnesses for the opponents te. the line under ceps'-
der stein ? Aud if these be grave difficulties at any pe-
ried of the session, however early, how much are they
enhaeced as it progresses towards its expiration ? Cal-
culations must be sworn to by the sheet—surveys affirmed
by the hundred weight—witnesses examined by the
gross—notes to guide the decisions of the Members taken
by steam power, to enable the Select Committees for the
various groups to keep pace with the running out of
the term of the session's existence. Now this slovenly and
mischievous mode of transacting such important business
has never been so signally illustrated as itt the course of
the present year. We lament to find that it has not
elicited the marked animadversion of Lord JOHN RUS-
SELL. We willingly concur in the well-merited tribute
which the Noble Lord paid to the: pains-taking industry
of Hon. Meisbers on these Committees, and to the
devotion which they had shown to the public ssrvicei
in addressing themselves to such painful labours so
mac in c urriat. But the Noble Lord, we
subMit to him, with all respect, should I
have denounced the TiciOUBUOSS of a system

which mischievously professes to do what it is beyond
the reach of any available or working portion of the 658
Members of the House of Commons to accomplish, in
addition to their other dutit s. "Do not tell me," said
Mr. BROUGHAM, in a debate on the Bankruptcy Juris-
diction, in May, 1827, "do not tell me that the system
is in fault when the men are in fault." But in this in-
stance of Railway Committees, not the men, but the
system fails. " Mr. Shad well, when he was asked if
three men could get through the business of the Court of
Chancery, replied, No ; nor three angels." How many
would be required, on this doctrine of the present
Vice• Chancellor of England, to dispose of all the
pending projects in the " railway jurisdiction'
of Parliament is a problem we will as little undertake to
solve as to point out—(though we have an opinion on
the matter)--a hat should be the better scheme of deal-
ing with this department of business, which we think
it quite poscsiibl.:2 that the Legislature might adopt. W e
utdy reraark, in reference to the enormous dissatisfae-
Lion gi v. u by the defunct Board of Trade Committee
on Railways, that Lord JOHN RusseLn's silence on the
still def, cure nature of the tribunals before which they
are bront;lit up, us it were, by mixed trains, and stow, d,
ticketed, and dispatched, to extinction or construction,
as the merest accident may deer, e—seems to be a capital
omission in a speech otherwise remarkable fur its ana-
l) tical and critical synopsis of the session's "sins of
Omission and commission." But his Lordship's utter
silonee on the currency question we hold to be matter
still more sincerely to be deplored among those who,
instructed by the fatal experience of the past, look with
well-founded and trembling apprehension to the future.
The gambling in railway shares during the last twelve
months has been only more reckless, and more infatuated,
but not more guilty, more mischievous, nor more ruin-
fraught, than Sir ROBERT PEEL'S gambling with his
currency "counters" of 1819 and 1844, against the real
wealth and latent resources of the pi ople of England.
But only too many occasions will offer, we are con-
vinced, and in a succession but too rapid, for at once
confirming and illustrating our anticipations as to the
results of a coming crisis, which already "casts" its por-
tentous " shadow before."

The Observateur du Rhin, published at Cologne, acd
the Weser Gazette, issued at Bremen, have been inter-
dicted in Bavaria. The Obscrvateur is said to be pro-
hibited far defending Protestantism in Bavaria, which,
being in the minority, ti the object. of the most violent
attacks from the ultra-Catholic press, towards which the
censorship is more knient than towards the Prot* stant
journals. The Weser Gazette is supposed to De excluded
because it is the zeal•us organ of the schism with which
the Catholic Church in Germany is agitated.

Letters from Wiesbaden state that the Duke of NAs-
SA.II is about to start for Italy, where he will meet the
Grand Duchess HELENA of Russia. The arrangements
for the marriage of the Duke with one of the eaughters
of the Grand Duchess HELENA have been completed.
The Duke of NASSAU has offered Queen VICTORIA the
use of his palace at Biberich, and also of his residence
near Mayence. The King of PRUSSIA is giving as much
éclat as possible to his visit to the banks of the Rhine,
and superintends in person the preparations for the re-
ception of the Queen of ENGLAND. It is said that he is
rather hurt that neither the King of HOLLAND
nor the King of the BELGIANS has hitherto intimated
any intention of visiting him during the time Queen
VICTORIA will be his guest. The papers have an-
nounced that Prinol METTERNICH has had an attack
of paralysis ; but there is no truth in the statement. His
Highness is at his castle of Johannisberg in his ordinary
health, where the Count MUNCH BELLINGHAUSEN is on
a visit to him.

It is stated by the Jragdeburgh Gazette that the King
of PRUSSIA has charged Prince de NZUWEID with the
task of drawing up a constitution, the project of M.
de CUNITZ having been found to be attended with in-
.
surmountable difficulties.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
They all give lengthened accounts of the late tire in the
Toulon dockyard. The value of the property destroyed
is estimated very differently in the accounts published
in the Paris journals, some taking it as high as 20 mil-
lions, and others 15 and 10. We subjoin an extract
from the Constitutiontiel on this point, as giving the roost
moderate calculation of the loss that we can meet with,
after the Government journals, whit-h declare it to be
3,000,000f.:—" The loss sustained by the naval depart-
ment is much more considerable than the Government
is willing to acknowledge. The timbers in the sheds
were of the finest description for ship-building, and
14,000 stores (about as many cubic yards) are certainly
worth more than 3,000,000 f.; and to this sum must be
added the value of the roofs, which is put down in the
inventory of the marine at 800,000 f., but which cannot
be replaced fur less than 1,500,000 f. Besides, the mere
value of the timber burnt gives no exact idea of the loss
sustained, for there must also be taken into account the
time, difficulties, and expenditure required to replace a
store so precious."

There seems to be little reason to doubt the fact that
the fire was the work of the convicts, who were dissatis-
fied with, the treatment they received.
The Commerce states that a fresh creation of Peers is
about to take place. The following appears in La
France :

" We have been assured that the Dictatorship of M.
Bugeaud in Algeria is drawing to a close. The journal of
his department announces the Duke of Isly has obtained
leave of absence to visit his estate of Excideuil. This leave
is considered as the forerunner of the retirement of the Mar-
shal. It is certain that M. Bugeaud has become tuo un-
wieldy and too restive an instrument in the debilitated
hand of Marshal Soult. That quasi vice-royalty of the pos-
sessions of Africa does not sound well in the ears of the
Minister of War, who finds his ascendancy and power sadly
contemned."

All these papers contain accounts from Algiers of
successful '• razzias."

Private letters state that it is probable Queen Vic-
TORIA will visit the French Court on her return from
Germany, and that the Palace of Petit Trianon is being
prepared for her MAJESTY'S rt ception.
The French Funds rose somewhat considerably on
Wednesday. Shares fluctuated, but, generally speaking,
the market was firm : •

Madrid papers of the let inst. have arrived. Several
arrests had taken place on the morning of the 31st ult.
Among those arrested are M. SAGUSTI, who, during the
regency of ESPARTERO, held the office of Political Chief
of Madrid ; General CRESPO, lately second in command
with General ALCALA in Manilla, and the Commam:ant
and Cap:ain in command of the guard at barracks of
the regiment of Gullicia.
We learn from El Herald° that the public prosecutor
had demanded the penalty of death against several of the
Malaga conspirators. Several arrests had taken place in
Grenada. Letters from Sarago,sa, published in the
same journal, state that the Aymtlfriet:to of that city
are extremely dissatisfied with the Minister of Finance
for his refusal to modify his new sye•te in of contributions.
According to El Castellano the Cortes will meet on
the 10th October, and be immediately afterwards d:s•
solved, when the Senatus will be nominated in accord-
ance with the provisions of the new constitution.

A. correspondent of the Esptct dor mentions that
General ScnEta.v, the .:aptaii►• General of Seville, had
whipped an inhanitant of that city publicly in the Mar-
ket-place, whose only crime was that ho had called out
" Liberty for ever."
The Qum', who was at San Sebastian on the 3d,
bad been well received throughout her journey. The
inhabitants, however, occasionally display their feelings
on the subject of their fiferos, and the authorities are
about to petition the QUEEN for their restoration.

Colonel AGUIRRE and 100 prisoners of the insurgents
entered Barcelona on the 20,h, escorted by a battalion
and a squadron of cavalry.
There was a decline in the Three per Cents., and a

rise in the Fives ; the former hebg quoted at 291 cash,
and 30i. at 60 days ; 28,800,000 tone ; the latter at 22
cash, and 22 at 60 days. Afta. two o'clock matters
were reversed—the Threes roses trifle, and the Fives
dwclined.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY FlO3l THE ISLE OF WIGHT
THIS DAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived
this day, at ten minutes to one ;clock, tit the Vauxhall
terminus of the South-Western hallway, having travelled
up from Portsmouth by special train. The royal car-
riages were in waiting ut the erminus, and the royal
party immediately drove off to Nottingham Palace. Her
Majesty was loudly cheered by the crowd assembled to
see the royal coneye pas.

Her Majesty heid a Privy Coincil at half-past two, at
Buckingham Palace, for :arranging the Queen's speech
on closing the session of Parliament. Most of the
Ministers attended.

MONEY and COMMLRCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales, 5,000 bags, including 500 on speculation, and
500 for expert. There was no change in prices. Shares
were rather flat, and with less doing.
There are some few lateraccounts to-day by a transit ship
from New Zealand, fiom which we learn that the colonists
were iu a somewhat better situation, business having im-
proved.

The rains continue to excite a considerable degree of
anxiety among the Bull speculators in the Fund'., but prices
have not al:ered much on the Stock Exchange to-day. It is
to be. hoped after all that the damage said to have been done
to the crops is much legs than has been' reported. Consols
have advanced for the Account from '99 to 99t,, and for
Money from 98% to 991. One or two bargains have been
made at 10214 %, in South Sea Stock at 113, and in Ex-
chequer-bills at 495. premiUm._ _

In the Foreign Stocks a slight increase of business has to
be noticed. Spanish Consols have receded to 2634 lA, and
the Three per Cents. to 38. For Austrian Bonds 117 has
been the value to-day. Portuguese Converted are a shade
lower. The other Foreign Stocks have remained much the
same as yesterday.
The Railway Share Market is in a firm state. The prin-
cipal rise has been in the London and Birmingham', which
have advanced from 14S to 152 premium. Manchester and
Leeds are up to 205 (with 76/. paid), and the Great Northern
of France to 214 premium. These have been the greatest
changes this morning. The market is firm on the whole.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

Several runs of Wheat came to hand from Essex, which,
added to the quantities left unsold on Monday and Wednes•
day, formed rather an extensive supply of that article. The
stormy weather experienced yesterday produced rather
more inclination, on the part of the millers, to purchase in
the early part of the day, but as the atmosphere became to-
lerably tine, and as the letters received from various parts of
the country state that no material damage ha,, as yet, been
sustained by the growing crops, the demand became heavy,
and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported.
Indeed, to sell, lower rates must hare been submitted
,to by the factors. At the close of the market,
a large portion of the English WTheat remained unsol,l.
Although the show of free Foreign Wheat was small, that
article met a very inactive demand, yet, in the few sales ef-
fected, previous rates were maintained. Scarcely a single
transaction was reported in Corn under lock, the speculators
being unusually cautious in their operations. The supply of
Barley chiefly consisted of free foreign qualitie,. Grinding
sorts were quite as dear, but all other kinds hung heavily on
hand. We had a very limited quantity of Malt on
offer. Superfine White qualities moved off steadily
at. full prices. Li other kinds exceedingly little was doing.
Our notices at toot show a very limited arrival of Oats, owing
to which the Oat trade was comparatively steady, and price,
were well supported. In Beans very little was doing, but
Peas and Flour were quite as dear. Several parcels of new
Canary, Carraway, and Raps Seed were on offer. Most of
them sold at full prices.

On the whole, the supply of Beasts on sale here was tole-
rably extensive as to numbers, but very deficisnt as to quality.
The few prime Scots offering sold at Monday's quotation,z,
but all other breeds were very dull. We had on offer 80
Beasts and 100 Sheep from Holland, together with 200 Scots
from Aberdeen. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase,
owing to which the Mutton trade was heavy, at barely late
rates. In Lambs only a moderate business was transacted,
yet their currencies were supported. Calves were a dull sale,
but not cheaper. Pigs moved off slowly, at our quotations.
Milch Cows sold slowly, at from 161. to 19/. each, including
their small calf.
