" But our diary-make; does insist on the impetfections of
former books of this kind, and on the excellence of his own,
and he seems well entitled to hold this opinion. The Diurnal
Recorder' is an admirable register of the professional arrange-
ments of all who have money to make, and the pleasurable En-
gagements of all who have money to spend."—Times, Oct. 20.
" We were not, however, prepared for this emphatically
valuable companion for the merchant and tradesman. To that
numerous class of our reade-s, the commercial travcilers, we
feel we are rendering a service when we direct their attention
to the Diurnal Her:order.' "—Globe, Oct. 18.

" This is decidedly the most valuable work of the kind
which has appeared."—Advertiser, Oct. 15.

VEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
_` RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times
sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. - From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
, arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
' my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Air. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

1 am, your obedient servant,
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Sur

" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the varieus consultations held up,n my case, the
Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
ofthisextraordinary embrocation.—T. 11."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficaciou
in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or throug
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;

The plan of this Office will Le found to comprise all the
solid advantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or
Non-Return Systems ; and the Tables, which include Ascend-
ing and Descending Scales of Premium, have been flamed to
suit the convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the
most approved calculations, and these being verified by the ex-
perience of the Office during forty years, are as low as consis-
tent with safety ; those adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM
entitle its assured to an eq•aitable participation in the surplus
premium, according to the plan detailed in the Company's
Prospectus.
The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee
of a large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a re-
sponsible body of Proprietors, without being exposed to the
liab lities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of au
assurance is effected ;—or, loans will be granted thereon to the
extent of five-sixths of such purchase-money.
Prospectuses and every information obtained on application

THE ILLUMINATIONS.
Many persons expected that the ilhiminations
would be on an extensive scale last evening, it being
the first anniversary of the birth of the Prince of
Wales, but they were disappointed. The very shops
did not appear so well lighted as usual, and the night
turned out wet, which caused many sight-seekers to
turn in. Pall-mall contained but one solitary illumi,
nation—that of the Reform Club House. Amongst
the principal were—
The Haymarket Theatre—An imperial crown, with
the letters P. W. in gas.
United Service Club—A splendid scroll in gas,
with Prince of Wales' Feathers, and motto, " Ich Dien."
Carlton Hotel—Large star.
Crockford's—Scroll in gas.
Messrs. Williams and Hatton, of Regent-circus,
Oxford-street, hoisted a splendid blue satin flag, with
the arms of the Prince in the centre, bearing an in
scription in Welsh, which may be translated thus :
" A beloved Prince to the Welsh is born,
The glory of ancient Britons."
Adelphi Theatre—A beautiful garter star in gas.
These were almost the only illuminations.

MR. MACAULAY and the WHIGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—As one in the habit of daily perusing your
.ndependent paper,ll am rather surprised to see, occa-
sionally, some very ill-natured remarks on Mr Ma-
caulay, so very different from your usual course of
conduct, that I confess I cannot comprehend it. I
can hardly suppose that a private grudge can operate
on your feelings regarding that gentleman. I have
noticed Mr. Macaulay's conduct, as a public man, for
many years, and I think him a great benefactor to
the cause of public liberty. Surely it is poor spite
to accuse a man of refined ideas and cultivated taste,
with paying attention to and loving polite literature ;
in my mind such pursuits are highly creditable to
Mr. Macaulay, and contrast most favourably with the
doings of such gentlemen as Lords Hertford, Frank-
fort, &c.,&c. Yours, AN OLD ADMIRER.
[We willingly insert our " Admirer's" letter,
albeit it is not favourable toftourselves. We must ac-
company it, however, with a positive assertion that
we bear no grudge to Mr. Macaulay : we know no-
thing of him but as a public man, and there is no
writer of the day whose talents we more admire.
But as a public man, who, on account of his talents, has
been raised to one of the highest stations, we think
Mr. Macaulay, with the other leaders of the Whig
party, is much wanting in his duty to the public.
The nation is in great difficulties, and has therefore a
right to expect that those whom it honours and is wil-
ling to follow, should zealously devote themselves to
its service. It has a double right to expect that the
Whigs, who contributed to plunge it into those diffi-
culties, should exert themselves to extricateit. We cen-
sure Mr. Macaulay in common with the Whigs for
neglecting their duty. They are amusing themselves
with literary trifles, instead of exerting themselves to
rebuild the now scattered party of discreet but
thorough Reformers. They want all the honour of
leadership without the trouble. That kind ofconduct can-
not succeed. When a score nearly ofelever men, such as
Colonel Thompson, Mr. &urge, Mr. Cobden, Mr.
Vincent, and Mr. Feargus O'Connor, are putting
every possible engine into operation to gain the as-
cendancy for their opinions and their policy, for the
Whigs to lie idle, or to divert their attention from the
pressing public affairs of the country to the very
doubtful matters of early Roman history, or even to
clearing up some obscure points in. the past transac-
tions of our country, is utterly to ruin the party.
Moreover, it is to risk the success of gradual, but
thorough Reform, and precipitate a revolution. 'We
censured Mr. Macaulay out of love, meaning, if we
could, to pique him into a due and proper exertion o -
his great talents for the benefit of the community
ED. Sun.]

The hop duty is backed fre!;y at 158,000/. A feW
days more and the matter will be at rest for the pre-
sent year.—Kentish Gazette.

THE BANQUET AT GUILDHALL.
The Guildhall, yesterday, was eiore crowded than
usual. The hospitality of the Lord Mayor seemed to
outrun the accommodation afforded by the hall, great
as this is ; and at several tables parties were somewhat
inconveniently crowded.
The reception of her Majesty's Ministers, with the
exception of Sir R. Peel, was cold in the extreme.
We presume from the politics of the present Lord
Mayor that there was a preponderance of Liberals
present; and their conduct certainly bore a favourable
contrast to that displayed by those assembled on
former occasions, when the majority was the other
way. Nobody, this year 7 was . guilty of the gross in-
decorum of hissing any one of her Majesty's Ministers ;
but from Lord Stanley to Mr. 'Under-Secretary Hope,
not a Member of the Government received a cheer on
announcement. As we said before, we except Sir R.
Peel, who was loudly and cordially greeted.
Any one who has ever attended at these festivals,
need not be told that few of the speeches are heard
with any distinctness, and that the few who do suc-
ceed in rendering their sentences audible at some dis-
tance from the head table, purposely abstain from any
allusion to party topics. The character of the speeches
yesterday did not differ from that hitherto observed—
the grand staple of their composition was the veriest
common-place. 'We shall not weary our readers by
reporting what must be little else than a reprint of the
addresses delivered in former years; but shall give
those points in the leading speeches, which we think
worthy of being noticed.
Amongst the guests Were the following :—The
Foreign Ministers, the Duke of Buccleugh, the Mar-
quis of Downshire, Earl of Haddington, Earl of
Arundel, Lord IV. Lennox, Lord J. Russell, Lord
Sltanley, Viscount Lowther, Lord D. Stewart, Lord
Fitzgerald and Vesci, Lord Denman, and the Judges,
Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Mr. Goulburn, Sir E.
Knatchbull, Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Hon. C. P. Vil-
liers, Hon. W. Baring, Sir G. Clerk, Sir T. Fre-
mantle, Sir 11. Meux, Sir J. Easthope, Sir F. Booth,
Sir C. Hunter, Sir P. Laurie, Mr. Hume, Sir J.
Hensler, Captain Hensler, the Sergeants, Sir T.
Wilde, Mr. J. Jervis, several of the Under Secreta-
ries of State, Mr. Walter, the Aldermen, Recorder, &c.
The LORD MAYOR, in giving the first toast, " The
Queen," dwelt on the talent and energy exhibited by
the present Sovereign since she ascended the Throne
--qualities which were outshone only by her exalted
virtues.—(Cheers.) Then followed the toasts of
" Prince Albert," " The- Queen Dowager," " The
Prince of Wales." In reference to the last, his Lord-
ship observed, that that day being the anniversary of
the 'firth. of the Prince of 'Wales would long be
memorable in the annals of the country.—(Loud
cheering followed this allusion.)
His Loensuse next gave " The Army and Navy."
Colonel T. WOOD. returned thanks, and acknow-
ledged, on the part of the two services, the joint com-
pliment which had been paid them. He need not say
that they were ready, whenever their country called
on them, to do justice to any cause in which they
might be engaged, and to emulate the great deeds of
those who had gone before them.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Late Lord
Mayor," who was loudly cheered, and returned thanks
in a few words.
The LORD 'MAYOR then proposed " The Health of
her Majesty's Ministers."—
(Cheers.) Though he
differed from them in polities, he believed they had
the interests of the country at heart; and he unhe-
sitatingly stated his belief that there was no man to
whom her Majesty could with more safety entrust the
administration of affairs than to Sir. Robert Peel.
Sir It. PEEL, =on rising to return thanks, was loudly
cheered. He said :My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen—
It is my duty, • on behalf of the Ministers of the
Crown, and on behalf of those Members of the Go-
vernment who .have the happiness of being present
'on this occasion, as well as those who have the mis-
fortune to be absent—to return you thanks for the
complimentyou
areha dveu just sttuyee, my Lord Mayor,
paid us. Our cordial ac-
knowledgmentsfor the manner in which you have proposed this
toast, and to the company for the manner in which
they have accepted it.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, al-
though I am addressing you as a Minister of the
Crown, and on behalf of Ministers of the Crown, and
although it is difficult to forget altogether the public
character with which I am invested, yet I assure you
there is no man who feels more deeply
than I do on
this day and on this occasion, that there ought to be
a studious abstinence from every political subject
which may tend to excite the harshness of party con-
flict. Gentlemen, whatever may be our dif-
ferences of opinion on public subjects, and
however earnestly in the exercise of our right of free
discussion, we may contend for the maintenance of
our own views, yet there is one feeling in which I am
sure we all here partake—it is one which in this hall
should predominate, and one which shall not cer-
tainly be weakened by me—l mean a feeling of pride
in the character and reputation of the City of London
—(Cheers)—of pride in its historical recollections—
of pride, above all, in its pre-eminence in point of popu-
lation, wealth, and commercial importance, over all
the cities of the civilised world.—(Loud cheers.)
Studiously adhering to the rule which prohibits an
indulgence in party politics on these occasions, the
Ministers of the Crown are here for the purpose of
giving their sanction to that happy eblivion of party
differences ; but we may yet be allowed to
promise our cordial co. operation with the mu-
nicipal and magisterial authorities of the City,
in every matter which concerns the interests of
the City.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, no man knows
better than I do the importance to thepublic interests
of such a co-operation. I have had proofs, within
the last few months, when the people of this city
of disturbance, that there
Municipal authorities of the
Government—between those
didcw ietrye prevaila
and
exposed
the
between
Executivet he dangerthe
invested with magisterial authority and those re-
sponsible for the superintendence of police—an entire
forgetfulness of all party differences, and a warm and
*earnest concert in devising the best means for guard-
ing against the evils that threatened the community,
which greatly conduced to the preservation of tran-
quillity.—(Cheers.) I feel confident, from the charac-
ter of your present Chief Magistrate—differing as I
do from him on many political subjects—that he will
imitate those who have preceded him, and that, when
the public interests require such a course, he will
cheerfully lay aside all party considerations: I feel
confident, also, that—no unimportant point—the cha-
racter of this City for hospitality and conviviality will
not be impaired while he holds the highest office
amongst you.—(Hear, and a laugh.) From the part
which the Lord Mayor has taken in Parliament on the
subject of the general consumption of the country, and
from the earnestness with which he brought his know-
ledge to bear on this topic, I feel the utmost confidence
in predicting that when he lays down his office the
character of the City, for the becoming virtue of
hospitality, will not have been tarnished in his hands.
—(Much laughter.) In returning thanks on the part
of her Majesty's Ministers, I hope I shall not, as-the

The object of our policy is to maintain the lustre of
the British arms on every occasion on which an appeal
to them may be necessary. The object of our policy
is to encourage the demand for labour, awl to extend
our commercial prosperity.—(Loud cheering.) The
object of our policy is to maintain the public credit
and that character for public faith which no country
can lose without losing also the main foundation of
its strength and stability. We shall consider it
amongst the most favourable indications of the result
of that policy if, in a city so intimately connected
with the manufacturing and commercial interests as
this is, we shall find its commerce to be in a flourish-
ing state. 'And with all sincerity I can assure you
that next to the approbation of our Sovereign, and
the approbation of our own consciences, we can re-
ceive no higher reward for our public services—there
can be no greater excitement in our exertions to pro-
mote the public interest, than the hope of attaining
and preserving the favourable opinion and confidence
of the City of London.—(The Right Hon. Baronet
sat down amid loud cheers.)

strengthening the good understanding which now
happily prevailed amongst the nations of the world;
and he might perhaps be permitted to express his gra-
tification at finding the questions which had arisen

between his own country and England recently settled
on a foundation equally honourable and beneficial
to both.

" The Duke of Buceleuch and the House of Peers"
was the next toast.

The Loan MAYOR next proposed " The Members
of the House of Commons." He should not dwell on
the merits of that assembly, as he was himself a Mem-
ber of it. He had on that occasion endeavoured to
bring many Members of it together of different poli-
tical opinions, but of unquestioned talents and public
integrity. His Noble Friend (Lord John Russell),
he was happy to say, was present—(Loud and con-
tinued cheers)—and the Noble Lord on his right
(Lord Stanley) was equally entitled to be called on
as the representative of that assembly, of which they
were both such ornaments.—(Hear.) As his opinions
did not coincide with those of Lord Stanley, he thought
it but fair thathe should give that Noble Lord's health
inßconnexion wish the toast: He then gave " Lord
Stanley, and the Members of the House of Commons."
Lord STANLEY said that on any occasion he should
feel some inconvenience in endeavouring to return
thanks for such an assembly as the House of Commons,
before an audience so numerous, so respectable, and
differing, probably, so widely in political opinion as
the present ; but the irksomeness of the task was
greatly alleviated by the manner in which his Lord-
ship had introduced the toast. He was for some time
in doubt whether he was intended to be connected
with the compliment to the llouse of Commons, or
whether it was not meant that that honour should
be reserved for his Noble Friend the representative
of the City of London. And, after all, he doubted
whether his Lordship, in adhering to the prin-
ciple of strict impartiality did not intend that his
Noble Friend and himself should join in a sort of
oratorical duet in praise of the House of Commons.—
(Much laughter.) But this he would venture to say,
that although, perhaps, there had not been an entire
accordance of opinion between himself and his Noble
Friend, yet, with all sincerity, and from the bottom
of his heart, he could assert that none but political
differences existed between them, and that friendship
was never interrupted which he was always so proud
to enjoy.—(Cheers.) He held it to be one of the
highest boasts of their free Constitution, that a free
expression of individual opinion and of political dif-
ferences was held compatible with the most sincere
private respect.—(Cheers.) He trusted that whilst
the House of Commons promoted the general welfare
of the State, and truly represented its great and coin-
plicated interests, the parties into which it was
divided would ever remember to give to their oppo-
nents the credit for sincerity and good intention that
each division claimed for itself. These were the sen-
timents of the people whom they represented, and he
was sure that that body faithfully reflected, in this
respect at least, the views of the constituency.
The LORD MAYOR next gave the Members for the
City of London.
After a short speech from Mr. Masterman, who was
very indistinctly heard,
Lord J. RUSSELL rose, and was received with seve-
ral rounds of cheering. He had a due sense of the
honour which devolved on him as representative of the
City of London, connected as that City was with the
history of our most ancient popular municipal insti-
tutions, and remarkable as it had ever been for the
enterprise of its citizens, and the-magnificence of' its
establishments. They had heard that night from hieh
authority, the demand; which the interests of the
country warranted the Government in enforcing. Let
him be permitted to say, that whenever the Crown
should think it necessary to appeal to the people,
there was no people that would respond to that call
with greater energy, greater virtue, or greater per-
severance.—(Cheers.) If it should be our unhappy
fate to be involved in the contests of war, no nation
could produce men from the naval and military ranks
more determined to uphold its honour. And if, as he
trusted, it should please Providence to bless us with
continued peace, there was no nation that could snatch
from us the rewards of its holy victories.—(Cheers.)
His Noble Friend had said that, though they differed
on political subjects, there had been no interruption to
their friendship. lie begged to acknowledge and con-
firm the truth of that sentiment.—(Cheers). He
should always pursue that course in public which his
duty pointed out, however painful on some occasions
a strict adherence to it might be ; but he trusted that
the firm declaration of his opinions, could never abate
or destroy those friendships which were the pride and
pleasure of his private life.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir R. PEEL then gave "The late Lady Maycresss."
His late LORDSHIP returned thanks, and with great
ruavete observed, that it would ill become a man to
praise his own wife.—(Laughter.) All he should say
' was, let what she had done speak for her.
(This short and pithy acknowledgment was 'received
with much laughter, and the Lord Mayor soon
after retired.

NEW BANKRUPT ACT.
To-morrow the new Bankrupt Act will come into
operation. There, are 94 provisions in the measure,
gathering into one the principles of the law, and re-
pealing all other tActs at variance with the present.
The alterations are of an extensive character, giving
protection to both debtor and creditor ; and whilst it
enforces on the former moderation in his transactions,
affords to the latter remedies which he has not hitherto
possessed. In future cases the bond of the petitioning
creditor to the Lord Chancellor is dispensed with, and
all fiats must be forthwith sent to the Court to which
they are directed, to be opened within three days, or
within fourteen days after the expiration of the time
allowed, by any creditor whose debt should amount
to the required sum, and on his proving the legal
requisites. A single creditor of 501., two amount-
ing to 701., and three to 1001., are now in a situa-
tion to obtain fiats, and those whose debts are not
due can join in the applications. The denomina-
tion of traders is increased, including auctioneers
and apothecaries. By this Act a new feature in the
law is exhibited—n=2ly, the power of a creditor to
summon a trader before a Commissioner after he has
made an affidavit of debt, and delivered his account.
If a trader should not appear, or on appearance refuse
to comply with the requisitions imposed, he may on
the 15th day after notice be declared a bankrupt and
dealt with accordingly, provided the fiat be issued
within two months of the filing of the affidavit. By
the 23d section it is declared that before notice of
adjudication of a bankruptcy is published in the
London Gazette, or any warrant of seizure put into
force, the trader shall have five days' notice to show
cause to the Court against the validity of such adjudi-
cation. If at the expiration of the time allowed no
cause should be shown, then the bankruptcy to be in-
serted, or he may forego the time in order to facilitate
the proceedings. The bankrupt is to be protected
from arrest, and provided an examination should be
adjourned sine die, the Court may indorse his protec-
tion for any time not exceeding three months. There
are some stringent clauses for fraud, falsification of
books, and obtaining goods under false pretences, de-

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Nov. 2.—The Minister of Finance has
made to the Committees of States some interesting
communications relative to the finances of the coun-
try. The following is an extract from the pro memorize
on this subject:—
" The annual estimates relative to revenue and ex-
penditure, which, according to the existing regula-
tion, are to be published every three years, are made
up from the special estimates of the several depart-
ments. These special estimates, of which annually about
the third part, and each time for a period of three years,
is made up afresh, are mainly based upon average cal-
culations of the results of the several administrations
during the three years preceding the former term, so
that the main estimates of every year are based upon
the result of a six years' experience
" The estimates prepared upon this principle of the
current revenue and expenditure for the year 1841,
show a surplus of 32,136,000 (356,0001.). Of these,
$1,000,000 -will be required to cover deficiencies in
the revenue, and some extraordinary expenses, and
3350,000 for gifts of various kinds made by the
Crown. In the last named item are included the
sums 'constantly given by the King towards the erec-
tion of schools and churches. There will then remain,
for the year 1841, a real surplus of only 3786,000 to
augment the reserved fund of the State.
" For the year 1842, the returns show a surplus of
33,097,000, which, after allowing for similar deduc-
tions, will leave a net surplus of 31,747,000 for the
augmentation of the reserved fund.
" The material increase, as compared with the net
surplus of 1841, is owing to the circumstance that
the latter is based on the administrative results of the
six years 1835-1840, of which the first, in conse-
quence of the Customs' League having just before
cone into farce, experienced an important decrease in
the revenue derived from the customs—a decrease
which operates unfavourably upon the average cal-
culation.

" For the-year 1843 the estimates have not yet
been made up, but it may already be assumed, that,
partly by the operation of the sinking fund, and partly
in consequence of the reduction lately effected in the
interest on the public debt, there will be a reduction
of $1,200,000 in the expenditure for 1843. Add this
amount to the estimated surplus of 1842, and there
will be a net surplus of $2,947,000 to be anticipated
for the year 1843, which, even after the proposed re-
duction of taxes to the extent of $2,000,000, will
still leave a net surplus of $900,000. It is true that
several extraordinary expenses will be required in
1843, and, as has already been intimated to the States,
the produce of the lottery will probably show a dimi-
nution of $60,000. These contingencies, however, it
may reasonably be anticipated, will be compensated
by an increased consumption consequent on the said
reduction of taxes, in which case a net surplus of
$900,000 will still remain for the year 1843."
At the sitting of the Committees of States on the
27th ult., the attention of the members was directed
to the consideration of the question, whether the State
should guarantee the interest on the capital to be ex-

pended in the construction of the contemplated system
of railroads.

The question submitted to_ the assembly. was—
" Whether they deemed it necessary and expedient
that the State should endeavour to bring about the
construction of the system of railroads, already ad-
mitted to be necessary, by guaranteeing the interest
on the capital to be expended ?"
Several members urged that all the advantages an-
ticipated could be realised only in case the State would
itself undertake ie construction. A motion to that
effect, however, e Minister of Finance, who pre-
sided, would not allow to be put, declaring—
" That the Government had come to a determination
for the present not construct railroads at the cost of the
State, and that the King had not authorised him to
consult the States on the subject."
On the other hand, the Minister made no objection
to put the question—
" 'Whether it was the wish of the Assembly that
the opinion referred to should be entered on the mi-
nutes, in order that in that way the views of the
members might be brought under the notice of his
Majesty."
There were not wanting many members who de-
clared themselves altogether against the construction
of railroads by the State, as likely to encumber the
State with a large additional debt ; whereas, by throw-,
ing open the works to public competition, a large
amount of foreign capital would be drawn into the
country. It was quite as easy to obtain security for
the execution of the works from private companies, as
from the State, since the Government, in guaranteeing
the interest on the capital, would be in a position to
insist on the necessary guarantee. from the Companies.
The same argument would apply to the personal se-
curity of the travellers.

The Minister was again urged to allow the question
on this point to be put in a more distinct manner, but
to this he refused his assent.

Some members were opposed to the guarantee of
interest, connected as it was with a prospective aug-
mentation on the price of salt. Others urged the po-
licy of limiting the guarantee to a stated number of
years. The Minister said that this point would be
more suitably discussed at a subsequent stage; at the
same time he gave it to be understood that the Go-
vernment were in favour of a permanent guarantee.
Some declared themselves hostile to the very prin-
ciple of a State guarantee of the interest, inasmuch as
it was not to be anticipated that the railroads would
ever pay a profit ; that, therefore, the State would be
burdened with a permanent increase of expenditure,
that would absorb every surplus of revenue, and even-
tually compel the Government to cancel the reduction
about to be made on the price of salt. It was con-
tended also that the guarantee of the interest would
be, to all intents and purposes, an augmentation of
the national debt, a measure which, according to the
law of the 17th of January, 1820, was not to be
adopted without the express sanction of the States.
Taking that view of the case, the present Assembly
could not be deemed competent to give its sanction to
a measure of such importance, which could, in fact,
obtain a legal character only by being submitted for
the approbation of the States.
These latter arguments were warmly combated by
the Minister, who endeavoured to draw a distinction
between a debtor and an individual who became se-
curity for a debtor. If this view, moreover, were
correct, it would apply to every permanent expendi-
ture that the State might take upon itself. Nor was
the Assembly now called together to give a sanction
to a measure, but rather to enlighten his Majesty as
to the wishes and wants of the country relative to
matters in the regulation of which his Majesty was
liable to no control. The Minister continued for
some time to express himself in this sense, and then
proceeded to show the inexpediency of undertaking
the construction of railroads, as a public work, and at
the expense of the State. At the conclusion of his
speech he put the question whether the meeting held
it necessary and expedient that the State should en-
deavour to secure the construction of the wished for
railroads, by offering to guarantee the interest on the
necessary capital ?
The division then took place, when the members
from the several provinces voted as follows :

The question was then put :—" Whether the As-
sembly wished to have the opinion entered on the
minutes, that they would have preferred to see these
railroads executed by the State itself, and whether
they would have voted for the adoption of such a
principle, if the Government had not declared its de-
termination not, for the present, to undertake any
such works on its own account ?"
On this question the result of the division was as

The next question, to the consideration of whiel
the Assembly proceeded, was

" Whether it would be consistent with the wishes
of the country to undertake the said guarantee of the
interest on the capital, subject to the contingency of a
re-augmentation in the price of salt?"
The Minister argued the necessity of providing for
the contingent emergency referred to, but declare('
himself ready to modify the question in such a man-
ner, that there should be merely an augmentation of
