able and nettle( statentent presented In the speech
of his Honourable end Learned Friend (Mr. Grant),
and he congratulated the country and the House on
the talents and information be had displayed. The
Right.Hol. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) entered into
wattoos statements to support the calculations that he
bad formerly made, and those this night brought (.4-
ward He would recommend a Committee next
smion to take into. consideration the financial situa-
tion of the country. At present we knew nothing
but ,rat the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose to
comonnica:e. at theend of the American war, the
• Chancellor of the Exch,-quer had said, we were in a,
siorsesituatinetvith regard to finance than at the end
of this ; but it shruld be recollected that at that time
cibad Mr. Fitt for' Fnance Minister, and now we
bad the Right fi m Gentleman.—(A largh.)
tOURTENAY dented that the revenue had
falien off, if we took a retrospett of tour years instead
of one.
Mr. TIERNEY explained.
The question was then put successively on Mr.
GRANT% Resolutions, which were negatived without
a division by the previous question.
Mr. BROUGHAM frostpnned the Committee on
Agriculture until this day se'nnißht, when it was un-
derstood that the subject would be entered upon.

IRISH ELECTIIINS.
Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE moved the Order
of the Day for the Committee on the Irt.h Election
Biil, for the purpose of withdrawing the measure
daring the present Session.
Mr. PONSONBY wished that the Bill should be
committed in the • present Session, that it might be
discussed and then postponed.
Sit F FLOOD was in favour of the postponement.
Mr. D. BROWNE was himself anxious for the
discussion: he propoied. Friday next for the consi-
deration of the subject in a Committee.
General MATHEW recommended postponement
on account of the absence of many Irish Members.
If time were given the Bill might become
Ireland, and the table would then be crowded with
petitions against ir. It was impossible that the free.
folders in Ireland could be polled in 13 days, while
the Sheriffs were appointed as at present.
Mr. lIUSKISSON spoke to order.
General MATHEW moved the postponement
until this day three months.
Mr. PONSONBY admitted, that if the measure
Pere passed in its present shape, it would be a Bill
to enable the Sheriffs to appoint the County Mem-
bers; if, however, the subject were not considered,
how could a remedy be provided ?
Mr. DALY was anxious for the Committee in the
present Session.
Mr. WYNN thought an alteration in the. present
law abiolutely necessary. It was the duty of the
House t, limit the duration of elections as far 46 pos-
sible, without excluding freeholders from polling,
The question could not be too early discussed, that
the,Bar might go to Ireland in a tolerably perfect
shape. He toi,ic this opportunity of censuring the
node in which the business of the House had of late
been conducted : formerly, no Bill likely. to be de:
bated W.is allowed to pass through any stage after
Mae or o'clock At •

Mr. V Fl IZGERALD suggested a more remote
lay for the consideration of the subject. The Session
was now to , I advanced for any effective measure.

the Retorn•nc o;licer.

Mr. WYNN complained that the Session ought to
begin earlier.
Mr CURWIN said a few words in favour of
pOStpot! n►ent.
Mr. rIANKES wis desirous that the subject of
the Elgin marbles should pass the Committee to-
night, and the few topics embraced by the question
Might be discussed on bringing 'up the Report.
Mr. GIURW f.'N said, that many Members had
toe away, on the supposition that the subject of the
F.lgin marbles would be again deferred. He objected
toi toting a shiliitig of the public money at this late
tsar of the night,' and in the present state of the
Bosse.
Sir J. NEWPORT was of • the same opinion.

Mr. V. FITZGERALD applaudeil the liberal
molt in which the discussion on the new coinage hag
been cnnducted at a late hour last night : much time
had now been wasted in objections to the wasting of
time.

Mr. WYNNE resisted going into the Committee,
unless a pledge were given that matters liable to de;

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that if the opposition were persisted in, he
thought his Honourabk Friend (Mr. Bankes) would
not Ito into the subject of the Elgin marbles.
The House then resolved iuto a Committee of

Mr. BANKES then named this day se'nnight for

The CHANCELLOR.:of the .EXCHEQVER
replied, that the total charge made upon Government
for these emigennts was. £45,000; but that, by an
arrangement with the French Government, it had
been agreed, that from the sth of January last,
440,000 of that sum were to bepaid by France, and
the remaining £5.000 by this Government. This
was merely a loan, therefore, to the French Govern-
ment, on account of its present embarrassed situation.
To a question put by Mr. GORDON. .
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that the French Government were preparing
to pay this country the sums advanced to Louis
Xl,llE—during his residence in this country.
To another question, put by Mr. P. MOORE, the
Ri4lit Honourable Gentleman answered, that the
pension of 816,000, which had been granted to the
Orange Family was discontinued on the .amicable
settlement of the affairs of the Netherlands, when that
Family wag restored to its rights.
The Resolution was then agreed to ; and the House
having resumed, the Report of the Committee was
'ordered to be received on Thursday.

A Dutch MAil arrived last night, and brought a
copy of the Russian l'arif so long and anxiously
koked tor by those concerned in the Beltic Trade.
We have inserted it et length. It will be read with
much interest, and we doubt not 3.vi1l be considered
by many as a portion of, most unpropitious fruit re-''
suiting from Royel tours. It would appear that the
visits paid to our different Matmfacturiii; l tAliSh-
MelltS, first by the Duchess of OLDENBURGII, and
afterwards by her Imperiel Brother, and the no-
mercers quettions put, so inquisitively, to our Arti•
rens, had a diuTerent source and osj-ct Oen merely
to setisty idle curiosity.—lt is repur:ed, but we know
not how truly, 'het many of our workmen have lAtely
found their way to lteisiia, aad•that others are pre.
paring to fello N. We should like to know certainly,
whether they proceed thhher as mere specul itors, on
their own private individuel means ; or whether this
be not coneected wit') a foreign system injurious to
our national welfare Our own opinion is, that they
are trans danced in the hive of carrying with them all
the fruits wont to be produced by their.ingenuity and
labour wiien in this country r nor can we in any other
way account for the ezclusi:rn of so many articles of
British Manufacture from the dominions of our Imre-
-631 Ally. As to the system itself it has mech of the
complexion which characterised the Berlin and Ntian
Decrees of Isfaeouton—decreeiWhich in.their Opera-
, lion almost ruined the Russian Empire. The 11 us-
sians found that they could not then subsist witheie
13: itish commerce. HAS ALS:CINDER found out me ins
now to do without it ?—by an importation of Arti-
zaneinstead of the articles which they manufacture.

Hamburgh Papers to the 25th of May reached us
this merging. From Vienna, we learn, that the sister
of BONAPARTE, (Madame BACCMOCIII,) whom he
raised to the dignity of Princess of Lucca and Piom•
Nino, and who commerctd her sovereignty, as San:he
Parma v.-tslied to commence his, by plundering Ole
inhabitants, has been cnthpelled to refund l This is

COPENHAGEN, MAY IS.
A rep ert has been spread here of a contagions dis-
temper ia Norway. A ship, abandoned by the crew,
is dried to have been boarded by some sailors from
Bergen, who had thus conveyed the pestilential mat-
ter from the ship to the city. This report, however,
given by a shipper to the Quarantine Committee at
Elsineur, is happily very far from being authentic ►ted.
The shipper pretended to have read it in the Bergen
Gazette, but could give no further account of it. We
therefore hope that' the shole report• is without
foundation.
