Member claimed in behalf of the two persons who had
bees charged with malveision, the fullest inquiry.
'Mr. BAKING said, no Gentleman could be surprised
e estimate for repairing Windsor Castle lind been
-.:iocreasid. When that great historical snowmen' of toe
'icountry itas to be repaired and made a residence for the
Sovereign, expense was unavoidable. It was found so
rotten that it was telling down. The present was almost
a new Castle. He did not look with jealousy at the
-splendour isf the Crown with respect to palaces; the public
were satisfied that the money was well laid out,and where'
there was a great national monument the people would
not be dissatisfied. With respect to the Architect of.
Buckingham House, he felt that caution was necessary
in making charges ; at the same time he did think that
Mr. Nash, employed by the Sovereign and Government,
should have had no connection with individuals pur.
• -chasing lands of the Crown. He had heard that Mr.
Nash was building for himself on the site at Carlton
House. He was also said to be a brick. maker. All
that was wrong. As to the estimate it was beyond every
thing irregular. The sum of 34,0001. for sculpture
upon the arch at Hyde Park-corner was a lavish expen.
douse of the public money.
Mr. BANKES said ever y part of Windsor Castle was
so decayed that trpaius were out of the que Lion. It
was iest,ited. With respect to Buckingham House the
ease was different. In the origin .lestimate it was sho. n
that it might be repaired at a small expense. It it had
ever hien supposed that a million and a half of moor)
would have been required to repair it, he oils sure
Parliamest wculd -ni.ver have t: ought of making a
Palace at Pimlico, allele the Stmeisign would be sm.
-rounded by smoke and dirty houses. Much had hero
said about the arch but 'vet y bcdy had complained of
it as being • out s f its place. The sum of SlOOOl.
was to be paid for the sculpture alone. The P ri ace
might have bee.i made magnificent without the arch.
In a climate like this, certa.nly an arch, with sculptor.
so 'he amount of 34,000 W. was a useless waste of public
money. The value of the architecture was decreased,
. but the cOnsmiiiiiou of the architect was incieased.Woei.
the estimate watt formed and the model made, he
thought that no future compensation should be made to
the architect. A degree of responsibility ought to be
imposed upon such individuals; but in consequence of
the division of labour, Mr. Nish was not' accountable
-lair the faults which were atiributed to his designs.
That tienleman had only to m'ke designs—the
work was placed in different bands, and therefore that
andividual was not accountable for them. Toe Chi,f
Commissi• ner of Woods and Forests did all he could
consistently with his situation ; and it blame were to be
attached to any patty it was not to that individual.—
lie objected to all prodigal expense, and of course to
the item of 54,0001. For the arch to Buckingham Palace.
He now pursued the course which he had uniforo ly
pursued. tie wished the public money to be expended
for the benefit of the public taste, and it was with no
view to appose public improvement that be objected to
the proposed vote.
Lead ALTHORP begged to ask if the vote of
496,0001. included the first estimate of something neat
256,0001? The experience of the Hon. Member who
last addressed the House might be able to suggest some
remedy for a wasteful expenditure of the public money,
and be ttusted that something would be dune to relieve
ibe' public.
Mr. HUME expected that all the expenses would
lime been under the controul of some responsible leri.
ma. The Treasury was to blame, and no other party.
Mr. PROTHEKOE thought the estimate now pro-
posed to be very enormous. Mr. Nash bad no con.
troulquer the estimate, and therefore he was not to 'be
blamed. He begged to ask it Hon. Members bad sees
the Palace at Buckingham House ? He was sure they

hal not. Every thing was unsatisfactory, nothing wai
finished, and therefore he wisbell for further information.
Mr. BANKIM said be would Wye that the vote of 34,0001.
should be reduced Irma the proposed estimate.
Mr. R. COLBORNE said be would not now discuss
the general subject. He was quite sure, however, that
some answer would be given to the questions so often
put to his Majesty's Government, and he was sore that
his Majesty would have as much pleasure in affording
accommodation to his subjects as his subjects would
have in requiring it. The House then resolved itself
into a Committee of the whole House.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
as far as the Government of which he formed a mem-
ber was considered, he had only one duty to discharge.
The House, after various discussions, decided that Buck.
inghani House should be converted into a Royal Pa-
lace ; and if the estimate then agreed to was imperfect,
the House might be prepared for some additional expense.
Whether the arch in front of the Palace was to be of
stone or of marble did not form any consideration of this
House; but no* that the one half of the arch was tom•
posed of marble, it was necessary to complete it; and
on its completion it would do justice to the state of the
arts in this country. With respect to the taste of the
itch he could form no opinion; but he could say that
he had within a very recent period fully examined
the building, as had the First Loid of the Treasury,
and the progress of the building met with their ap-
probation. With respect to the Bird-cage Walk and the
facilities to be afforded to the public, lie was prepared
to bay that every proper accommodation would be af.
fettled to the public as soon as it could be established. I
The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing,
that at sum not exceeding 1.50,0001. should be voted over
and above the sum already voted for the Palace.
Mr. BA EKES moved that the sum proposed should be reduced
by £34 000.
Mr. A RBUTHNOT defended Mr. Nash in the course which
he had pursued, and supported the present motion.
Mr. •. THOMSON said It would be satisfactory to the public
if they knew that the sum now called for would complete the build-
ing of the King's Palace. exclusive of the furniture. It was the
duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to state definitively the
real amount of the expense to be incurred—(Question, question).
Lard MILTON wished to know when the Bird-cage Walk
would be opened ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed be
could not state the precise time, but there was a ionsikie intention
of opening that carriage way—(Cries of" Question.")
Mr. JOHN WOOD expressed a wish that this clause should
contain a recital of the sums already expended on the Palace at
Buckingham House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad no
objection to the insertion of the recital—(Question, question).
Mr. JONES did not think it fair to impute blame to the amid •
teas, when un being called top= to discharge a particular duty they
had acted in a proper meaner.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said be bad no objection to vote any res-
s n.ble sum [or the accomauniation of the Sovereign. but he felt it
his duty to agree to the reduction proposed by the Hon. Member
(Mr. Bankes).
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when a division took
place.

The House of Lords last night maintained its right
to issue the order calling upon the Corporation of Lon-
don to make a return of its receipts and expenditure.
At the same time their Lordships permitted Counsel to'
be heard for the City ; and he (Mr. limtarsort) con-
tended that the private funds of the Corporation had
nothing to do with the subject under their Lordships'
s tisitieration. Of the loads applicable t•i the purposes
of the Bridge Bill, the City could produce an account
in a •ery short time; but the amount of the facts were
these—that the funds applicable to the bridge and its
approaches, in the hands of the City, were exhausted.
and that the City was exempt by law from conuibutuij

any thing beyond the amount of that fund., With re-
gard to the rest of the City's fonds, they differed in
no respect from the estates of private individuals. To
this Lord MaLvicut said that the Learned Counsel at
the Bar had made out no case to induce their Lordships
to decline calling for the accounts in question. They
had two courses open to them—the first was either to
allow their original Older to stand; nr, secondly, to
make a new Order expressive of their determination to
have the accounts produced. His Grace the Duke of
%Lummox thought that it would be tnost advisablel
to leave the question to the Committee; and the debate
was closed by Laid DURHAM, who said that, after what
bad f .lien from the Noble Duke, it was not his intention
to ,persevere at present; but he hoped no obstacle
would be thrown in the way of the production of the
papers as soon as possible.
In the House of Commons, Mr. C. GRANT, though
appearing to be labouring under severe indisposition,
after some observations. moved—
" That the duty on all sugars imported into this country from
the Width Colonies in the West Indies be reduced to 20s. per cwt.,
dot time duty oil East India surar be reduced to 255. per cwt. and
ea an Foreign sugars, not the produce of British Colonies, tons."
Mr. GRANT argued that the :eduction of the duties on
sugar would most certainly tend to an increased con-
sumption in the article; and that it was of importance,
especially to the poor man, that he should procure those
articles, which were almost necessaries to him, at the
lowest possible rate. Tile motion was opposed by the
CHANCILLOR of the EICH/QURR cus the ground of the
House having already decided that the surplus revenue
ought to be appropriated to the reduction of the Debt;
and it was his duty to support the pledges of Parliament.
He calculated that the increase of consumption in sugar
would be no sensible relief to the glower. whilst the pro-
posed seduction of dui y would be a set ions diminution of
the Revenue. Alter a lengthened debate, in the course of
sshich the motion was supported by Mr. WHITAIORR,
Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. THANT, and. Mr. Mousses, the
House divided. when these appealed fir the nuition,6o
—against it, 98—lost by a majotity of N.
Lord Lowman having moved that the House go into
a Committee on the Land Revenue Bill, col. DATIRS
embraced the opportunity of denouncing the extrava-
gant expenditure of the Treasury on Buckingham
Palace; and brought a series if very rave charges
against the Architect, Mr. NASH. It is certainly
incumbent on Mr. Names, for the sake of his good
name, to have these charges inve►tigated. The de-
bate on his proceedings occupied the time and atten-
tion of the House for nearly two b.iurs; and about
two o'clock this morning the resolution was at length
come to, that a sum not exceeding £150,000 should be
voted over and above the sum already voted for the
Palace. This was after an amendment by Mr. BANKIS,
who moved that the sum proposed should be reduced
by 04,000; but on a division, the original Resolution
of the CHANCELLOR of -the EICHEQUIR was carried by
a majority of 91 to 61.

A great mass of information has been received from
the Continent since yesterday afti moots; but the news
from one quartet quite at vai lance with that brought
from the other. Fur instance, we have o.e f flowing
from Odessa, dated 4th of May :
" A vessel which arrived here three days ago from Mangolia has
spread a report. which greatly meds confirmation, that Sizeholi has
been retaken by the Turks, after many repeated attacks. Amore'.
from Gen. Roma, at Varna, are expected."
On the other hand we are led to believe, that far
from hostilities having been commenced, them is a
prospect of tranquillity being resumed. An article
from Constantinople. dated the '29th of April, •ays—
a For the last fortnight reports have been isi circulation that
pacific negudations are iti traits. It is now positively said that the
Russian Councillot of State, Anton Von Futuna, is arrived at
Sebumla, for the purpose of enterMg into immediate communica-
tion with the Grand Vizier. One thing is certain, that dispatches
have been received from Sebum's, since the arrival of which the
Reis Effendi has been constantly occupied. Several* Russian Of
fleets have within the last few day* been set at liberty."
The latest intelligence that hay been received is from
the frontiers (0 Tin key, and is to the following effect
FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, Maw I.

" Among the various and conflicting reports which traverse the
country adjacent to the seat of war. we have one which asserts that
the Turks having, with a great supetiotity of force, fallen upon the
Russians in the ntighbous hood of Kavarna and lialshick. succeeded
in both attacks. We have not been able to discover any authentic
foundation for this report."
' Had this been the case, we would. ere now, have
authentic accounts of the •ffair.

They are very barren of news. General Divatiscn had arrived at

mencement of the siege. The works were going on With great

LAW

COURT OP ZINO'S BENCH, Wasnameas, M6T its.
. filtdags la Peace.
IN Till Herren 01 FADDINOTON VISTA%
The facts of this case were shortly these—The Bishop
of London having opened a road or street in Paddington
parish, called Grand Junction-street, and built on
each' side eight complete houses, and begun about
thirty others, called upon the parish to appoint a
surveyor to survey the road, in conjunction with his
surveyor, with a view to have its proper construction cer-
tified to, and thus throw the butthen of repairing it
upon the parish fonds. The Vestry having refused to
, appoint a surveyor, the Bishop of London applied to the
Court for a mandamus commanding the Vestry to ap-
point a surveyor. The application was founded upon
a clause in the sth George IV. cap. 26. which enacted
that no road or highway, which had not previous to the
pa.sing of the Act been repaired as a public road or
highway, and dedidated to the use of the public by all
the persons interested therein. should be taken as a
parish road or highway by the Vestry. or should be re-
paired out of the parish funds, until such road should
have been first surveyed by two surveyors, one on
the part of the parish, and one on the part of the free-
holder. who-were to certify as to the proper construc-
tion of the road. The question turned upon the con-
speedos of this clause, the applicant contending that be,
having properly constructed the road, having dedicated,
it to the use of the public, and being as much frequented
as the Uxbridge road, the parish ought to pay for the
repairs of it. It was contended on the part of the parish
that as only eight houses were yet built in the road. the
rate levied from them would not pay for the repairs of
the road; that the opening of it was a mere private spe-
culation; that the parish did not derive much advantage
from it; and that the Act gave the vestry a discretionary
power as to the appointment of a surveyor. The case
*as argued at considerable length some days back.
Lord LOITERDIN now gave the opinion of the Court.
He considered that the clause on which the question
turned WAS not an enabling but a restraining clause.
and that the object of the Legislature was not to burthen
the parish with the expense of repairing a road which
had not been made for the public benefit, hut for the
private advantage (at least for a time) if the persons
making it. It appeared that the present road was laid out
by the owner of the land with a view to building house.
on bach side of it. Eight houses had been completed;
others were in progresaand it was intended to build more.
• Now nothing could be more bur thensome to a parish than
to pay for the repairs of a toad which had building going
on in it. In a parish near that of Paddington a road had
been entirely cut up by the drawing of building materials
over ir. It tle Court were to entertain this application
the owners of the land and houses would gain a private
advantage at the public expense. and the parish be rep-
deted liable to maintain a road in repair, which, for a
time, would be chiefly for private benefit. The Court,
therefore, thought that justice would be best satisfied
by the Court forbearing to interfere for the parson.—
The tole for the mandamus must, therefore, be dis-
charged.
