THE SWELL Mon AT TILE CAMBRIDGE INSTAL-
LATION.—This busy, though not honest fraternity, thinking to
reap a golden harvest at the recent installation of the Duke of
Northumberland as Chancellor of Cambridge University, as-
sembled in vast numbers in that town in the early part of last
week, and but for the wise precautions taken by the Committee,
much valuable property would doubtless have been stolen. On
Monday evening, whilst the grand festival at the Senate House
was proceeding, two notorious swell mobsmen drove into the town
and put up at a first-rate hotel, where they stated that they in-
tended to remain three days. It ap;sears that they commenced
work immediately, and in less than half an hour were discovered
attempting to force their way into the Senate House by In-
spector Pearce and Sergeant Langley of the A division. Two
other sergeants,' Thornton and Brennan, were immediately
directed by the inspector to take them into custody. The
soi disant gentlemen affected outraged feelings at being taken
for thieves, but upon a few gentle hints being thrown out,
they said, " Let's go for God's sake ; don't take us ;
didn't intend to work here, and we'll leave the town in-
stantly." The officers locked them up, and upon search-
ing them found upon each nearly 201. in money, and at the
hotel a valuable assortment of clothes, linen, and jewellery, all
of which had been brought down by them to wear, and
if possible disguise their real occupation. When taken
before the Mayor the next morning, the prisoners gave
the name of John Campbell and John Rice, both
were sworn to as first-rate swell mobsmen, and their
silence gave credence to the assertion, but they said
that although they might have been in trouble they did
not come to Cambridge to do anything dishonest, but merely
to see the fight The Mayor replied " The light is not this
road, that you know well; but it will be my duty to send you
another road, and that is to the House of Correction, where
you will be imprisoned seven days." Four other provincial
proficients in the light fingered art were committed for like
terms of imprisonment. On Tuesday morning Inspector
Pearce with his officers scoured the town, and succeeded in
finding between thirty and forty well known thieves, all well
dressed, and amongst them were some young and handsome
women, who had been provided with superb costumes, the
better to conceal their calling. Having been recognised they
at once promised to leave the town,.and did so evidently dis-
comfited at the signal defeat they had met with.
The Journal de Maine-et-Loire (Angers) states
that, on the Ist instant, five soldiers and three gendarmes were
conducting a refractory recruit, when at Mo zecirac, a score of
peasants, who were lying in ambush, suddenly fired on them.
Five of the escort were wounded, and the others, not having
their muskets loaded, were obliged to abandon the prisoner to
the &assailants, who quickly made off with their prize.
SINGLE OR DOUBLE ?—A pretty little but of Erin
presented herself at the post-office some years ago, and,
handing in a letter, modestly asked how much was to
pay, as the letter was for her mother, and she wished to
pay in advance. The clerk, on receiving it, asked the
usual question, " Single or Double?" when she replied
in the most bewitching manner, at the same time blush-
ing up to the eyes, "Double, Sir; I was married last
week."

caster, praying that means might be taken to alleviate
the existing distress.

Speaker upon a subject. He had beside him a petition
signed by 4,000 poor men, miners and colliers, of Scot-
land; but unfortunately, none of the signatures had been
written upon the same sheet as that which contained the
petition. He wished to know if there were any objec-
tion to receiving such a petition.
The SPEAKER said the rule of the House was, that
there must be one signature et least on the same sheet
as that on which the petition was written.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY presented numerous pe-
titions from unions in the neighbourhood of Leeds,

mitted on Tuesday next.

ration of the Report on this Bill till Saturday next.

siderably enhanced by a monopoly amongst the coal-
owners of the north, and praying, as a remedy, that the
duty might be taken off inland coal.

ing for the repeal of the toll upon the metropolitan

NOTICES OF MOTION.
Mr. I! ERRAND gave notice that to-morrow he should
move for copies of all osiers issued by the Poor-law
Commissioners, and the Guardians, together with the
Reports of the Sub-Commissioners, since the year 1838
up to the 13th of April last.
Mr. SHIEL gave notice that on Monday next, on the
House goiitg into Supply, he should discuss the policy of
the Government in Ireland.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that, on the House
going into COmmittee on the Poor-law, he should move
an amendment.—(We were unable, however, to catch the
precise nature of it.)

July, he should move for a copy of the indictment and
other papers, in the case of the Queen v. Duffy.

the 21st, he should'call the attention of the House to the

WRIT FOR SOUTHAMPTON.
Mr. MACKINNON stated that on the Ist of June
last he had moved for the issue of a new writ for the
borough of Southampton, but had postponed the
matter until the 15th. They had now arrived at
the 11th of July without the writ being issued. He
conceived that every month, every week, every hour,
that the constituency of Southampton were deprived of ;
their just rights, injustice was done to them. lie
felt it impossible, however, to do more in the business at
present, after the promise he had given to wait till the
Committee gave in their Report. He understood that
Report would soon be ready. He should therefore post-
pone the question till the 25th.
REPORTING PROGRESS.
Mr. lIUME wished to ask a question. The other
evening when it was moved on his (Mr. Hume's) side of
the House that the Chairman report progress, the motion
was negatived. Last night the Chairman reported pro-
gress, and he (Mr. Hume) did not observe that any mo-
tion had been previously made to that effect.
Sir J. CLERK said he believed the Hon. Gentleman
was perfectly mistaken. The motion for reporting the
resolutions was distinctly put from the Chair.
The SPEAKER said that when he returned to the
Chair the night before last, the Chairman informed him
that he was directed to report the resolutions to the
House.

FORGED EXCHEQUER BILLS.
Mr. GRIMSDITCH wished to put a question to the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, on a subject which excited considerable anxiety
out of doors. Ile wished to know whether the Right
Hon. Gentleman could give any information as to the
progress which had been made by the Commissioners
appointed to inquire into the circumstances of the forged
Exchequer bills, and whether it was probable that the
Report would be laid on the table before the proroga-
tion of Parliament ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had a short time since been informed by his Noble
Friend at the head of the Commission, that the Com-
mission had sat four weeks, and examined 130 witnesses,
and that he trusted the inquiry was drawing to a close.
PROTECTION OF HER MAJESTY'S PERSON

BILL. _
On the motion of Sir R. PEEL, the House resolved
itself into a Committee on the Protection of her Majesty's
Person Bill.

Mr. HUME said before the Speaker left the chair, he
wished to remind the Right lion. Baronet that the
attention of the House had been for several months
directed to the distress of the country, but that
no attention had as yet been directed to that
portion of her Majesty's speech which related to the
state of the finances and expenditure of the country as a
means of removing that distress. The attention of the
House ought to have been given to a reduction of the
expenditure in the first place. The distress gave
every indication of continuing, and he thought
the house ought not to separate without the
whole expenditure of the country having undergone
a review. lie did not object to the personal allowance ,
of her Majesty, but of the enormous expense of the Lord
Chamberlains' and the Lord Stewards' departments, and
that of the Master of the Horse. Ministers should ad-
vise her Majesty to do away with half this parade
and show ; and from all he knew of her liajesly, he
believed she would be pleased to make such a reduction.
What he called on the House to express an opinion on.
was, that some sacrifice should be made by the public
servants of the Crown, for two or three years, until the
expenses of the war in China should have been liquidated.
Amongst the extravagant acts of the late Government,
which added to the difficulties of the Right Hon.
Baronet, was the creation of a pension list for
merits, to the amount of 4,040 L Of this
there was a charge of 650/. for schoolmasters and
teachers. He repeated that he did not blame the Right
Hon. Baronet for that unwarrantable addition to the
public debt; it was the act of the late Government. There
was the German teacher of her Majesty whilst Princess
Victoria, with a pension of 100/. A teacher of writing
100/ ; a teacher of music, 100/. ; a teacher of French,
100/. ; a teacher of Italian, 100/. •, a teacher of singing,
100/. ; a teacher of dancing. 50! ; in all, 650/., which
threw upon the nation a debt of 20,0001. He thought it was
the duty of the Right Hon. Baronet to make'the proposal
to the public servants of the Crown to make.the sacrifice
of a part of their salaries for two or three years. He
could not sit down without saying that the Souse at pre-
sent had no check whatever on the miscellaneous esti-
mates. There ought to be at the commencement of
every sesslon a Committee to examine them before they
were proposed to the House, as was the case in every
country where there was a representative Government.
He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would not allow any
estimate to be voted until a Committee had examined
each of the details. He therefore hoped that his sug-
gestion would not be lost on the Right Hon. Baronet,
but that he would tic:vise her Majesty to make a reduc-
tion in all those departments, and set an example to every
other department, so as to render the continuance of the

Income-tax unnecessary past the present year.
Sir R. PEEL said, that he was quite sure the Hon.
Gentleman did not desire to
throw any opposition in the
way of their going into a Committee of Supply.—
(Laughter.) But. what were the sources of expenditure?
The expenses of the nary were 17,800,0001. ; and at
present the expenses of the Ordnance, &c., amounted
to 15,000,0001. But.the House was as competent to judge
of these matters, as her Majesty's Government. And
when there was an impression on the part of the House
or the country, that the estimates were extravagant,
they could be reduced. But when they looked
to other countries, and saw the forces the
maintained, he did not think! it would be advii.
