JAN. 3.—At this 'sitting 36 Peers were present, and
41 absent.; seven had sent notice of the obstacles that
prevented.' them appearing. some routine business
was . .
The Margiiis•de Tancos and the Conde de Mesqui-
•tella were appointed Secretaries; Conde de Pigueira
and Conde dos Galveas, Vice Secretaries.
The President declared the Chamber of Peers was
duty installed for the session 1828, and. a, deputaticm

"inform her of it.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JAN. 3.
•
•The Deputies having met a little before ten o'clock,
the President invited the two youngest members to act
as secietaries ; and as it appeared on their calling over
the names that 95 members were present, the President
said—" This number exceeding the half of the total
number composing. the. Chamber, the Chamber is
opened.
The first step was the nomination of Secretaries and
Vice Secretaries. Senhors Antonio Vicente de Carval-
hoe Souza and Jose Cayetana de Paiva Pereira, were
chosen Secretaiies ; and Senhors Jose Antonio Fereira
!Irak-Lamy and Bent° Pereira Cabral, Vice Secretaries.
The remainder'of the sitting was occupied in debates
respecting the appointment of committees, and it was
resolved to nominate new Committees of Finance and of
, Administention; also that the special committees should
be appointed in the Chamber, and that the Committee
of Infractions (whose business is. to inquire whether the
i. constitution has in any respect been violated) should
consist' of ieign tienapers: This last committee was im•

Senor L. T. 6abtal, in reply, said, that the Bishop'
had given many proofs of a disposition perfectlt ccf-
responding wtth the apostolical character with which
he was invested, and therefdre there Was no reason Co
be serprised at the request he had just made. 'There,
were, however, other considerations to be attended'ao.
Christian charity does not in any manner oppose the
fulfilmfint of civil duties. There have been bulls, allow-
ing ecclesiastics in all civil causes. I cannot 'speak of
the date of these bulls, becanal did not come prepai ed
for this purpose, but many Members of this' Chabber
are aware of their existence. (The President interrupted
the speaker by saying that it was not .necessary; to treat
the matter in this light, as the Cornmittel,hid 'not to
be judges.) The President baying put the gotta-nil whe-
'ther the Bishop should be extused from bein,g,a Mem-
ber of the Committee in question, it 'svii unanimously
'decided in the negative.
The Chamber, diet efore, proceeded to "lie choice of
the other Committees.

Mekes them indifferent as to their quilifications." At
this time, however, there were not less than 2 911
Lieutenants on the Navy List, of whom not mote than
'l.BOO were actually emplosed. The seamen among
them were thrown on_ the shelf, and were obliged to
beg for employment. The consequence of persons with
Pat liamentary influence being exerted to pension young
men, by giving them commissions in the navy, or as
Lerd Coiling wood expresses it," of offices in the navy
being made the provision fin all sorts of idle people,"
is 'hewn by the fact, that we had at that very time a
.long list of Admirals who were regarded ap,pirently by
the Admiralty Board as unfit to be trusted. There were
on the list 110 Admirals of a rank high enough to sue-
ceed. Lord Coiling wood in his command; and yet he
was constrained, though pressing his recoil on the Ad-
mit ally. to retain the command, because nobody Could
be found worthy to be entrusted with it. The Admiralty
must have looked on that list as the Earl
.of C,hathaas
has been said to have done in looking over a liseof our
Generals, with fear. " I know not," said ;bat staters•
man. how these Gentlemen may affect the enemy.
but they make me tremble." " I have before men-.
tioned my declining health,' says Lord Coltingwood,
in a letter to his Lady, " to Lord Mulgrave, and he tells
me in reply, that he hopes I will stay, for he knows not
how to supply my place. The impression which his
letter 'made upon me was one of grief and sorrow—
first, that with inch a list as we have, there should be
thought 4o be any difficulty in finding a successor of
superior ability to me; next, that there should be, any
difficulty in the way of the only comfort and happiness
that I. have to 1 ,ok forward to in this world."- With
'our immense number of Admirals, therefore, there was
a difficulty in finding one capable of filling his arduous.

young man, and walks about doing no harm ; but he
