the'chancea of disclosure to which I alluded might
have been 'removed; but accidentally her Majesty•
was placed in a situation which rendered it more dif-
ficult, as I said, to prevent the access of indiscreet
persons."—The question was then put, and the ad-'
journment till Friday was carried.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed the discussion regarding
the Borough of Granipound, until Friday the sad instant.'
On the Motion, of Lord Casn.raxacm, the consideration of
the Election Petitions, which stood for Thursday next, was
postponed to Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER postponed
the Committee of Supply to Wednesday.
Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of the Committee
of -Ways and Means, when the'Resolption for raising the sum
of #5,000,000, by Loan, was agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
recommitment of .the Court of Exchequer Bill; and after a
short conversation, in which Mr. Galnrasx, Mr. Cxxcaarr,
and the CHANCELLO4 of the Excannura took a part, the Bill
went through the Committee.--Report to-morrow.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL.

On the motion of Lord ALTtionP, this Bill was
recommitted. _

The other clauses were then read. and several ver-
bal Amendments were agreed to.
Mr. BRIGHT proposed a clause for extending the
-benefit of the measure to Crown debtors, as well as
to other insolvent persons. He could not imagine
any good reason why the former should be placed in
a worse situation than the latter, or why the Crown
should exercise the power of confining the person of
its debtor, after he no longer possessed any property.
He should now, therefore, submit a clause, exempt-
ing Crown debtors from' imprisonment, after a full
disclosure, and a discharge of all claims beyond the
sum of :C2OO.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was surprised that
his Honourable, and Learned Friend should wish to
discontinue a provision whics had appeared in all
former Acts of this_nature. Some cases ought at
least to have been, mentioned, as actually proving in--
convenience to have arisen from the forrner state of
the law. Had the Commissioners, in the exercise of
their discretion, ever been known to refuse indulgence •
to an honest man? If the law were altered, as it now
applied to smugglers, he would venture to state that
the revenue would be defrauded with impunity, as it
'lien happened, that when the smuggler himself was
not a man of property, individuals on the other side
of the water would pay down sums of £7OO and £BOO
in order to procure his discharge—a practice which
could not be expected to continue, if he could be re-
leased by other means.°
Mr. BRIGHT said there were two descriptions of
Crown debtors—one indebted upon civil process, and

the other in penalties. He had a separate proposi-
tion for this latter class, and could see no objection
why, when a penal sum was owing, and the debtor
had no means of discharging it, he should not be en-
abled to bring himself Wore the Court of King's
Bench, and there submit, in lieu of the fine, to some
more definite punishment. As for the first class of
cases, he had not minutely inquired into them. He,
referred to the general principle of law, and could
see no reason why, in debts of' small amount, the
Crown should have an unrestricted power, to conti-
nue a debtor in prison. At the same time, he had
no desire to press his clauses against the general sense
of the Committee.
After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
and from Lord ALTIIORP, the Honourable Gentle-
man's proposition was withdrawn.
On the motion of Mr. Alderman Woos), a clause
was added, to enable the Commissioners to sit at the
Sessions House in the City of London.
Several other clauses were then proposed and with-
drawn; amongst which were, a clause enabling the
Commissioners, when they should think fit, to =panne'
a Jury, and a clause providing that the cases of Of-
ficers in the Army and Navy, who should go abroad
without repaying money advanced to them on the
credit of their pay, should be reportcl to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and to the Lords of the Admiralty,

respectively.
The preamble of the Bill was then agreed to, and
the Report of it ordered to be received to-morrow.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The farther consideration of the Report of the Dublin House
of Industry Bill was postponed till Wednesday.
The Bakers' Regulation Bill went through a Committee, the
Report of which was ordered to be received to-morrow. •
Te Savings Banks Amendment Bill went through a Com-
mittee, the Report of which was received, and ordered to be
taken into further consideration on Friday.

the Flax and Cotton Hill, the Aliens' Bill, and the Irish
Coroners' Bill, were read a third time and passed.
A Return of all Charges,,made by the Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs,
or their Officers, at the last General Election, was ordered to be
laid before the House.
Mr. BROGDEN brought in a Bill to regulate certain Draw-
backs on English and Irish Manufactures. Read a fait, and
ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.
Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of a Contmittee on
the Gold and Silver Plate Act, when the Resolutions were

The Hum BAILIFF of Westminster on Saturday,
returned an answer to the Requisition of the Inhabi-
tant Householders, who had applied to him to con-
vene a Public Meeting to address her MaJzsry on
her arrival. He was pleased to express his readiness
to comply with the Requisition, but suggested that,
in consequence of the suspension that had taken
place_ in the proceedings of Parliament relative to her
MAJESTY'S affairs, it would be expedient to postpone
the appointment of the Meeting till after the result
of the existing negociations was known.
FAMILY FACTS.—Dr. F. Professor of Medicine at
Aberdeen, being ih London in 1814, bought a Share
of a Lottery Ticket, which proved a Prize of Twenty
Thousand Pounds. Some months afterwards, hear-
ing his brother, who was a Professor of Mathema-
tips, in'eigh against Lotteries, the Doctor opposed
. him with hissown success, and prevailed on his bro-
ther to put his reasoning to the test Of fact, by
purchasing Half a Ticket, which came up also a
1:20,000 Prize. The Mathematician was now obliged
to acknowledge, that a little Luck outweighs a great
deal of Chance.

At the close of the market yesterday -the, Funds
looked very heavy—Consols left off at 70, and Om-
nium at par; but at the commencement of business
this morning, the market looked bright, and Con-
Sols began at 701/4 y4-omnium 4 to Vs prem.—
The scarcity of money still ' continues, and is likely
to do so until after the-Dividends are paid. An
unusual circumstance has taken place during 'the
shutting of Consols. It is sard, that last week several;
transfers to a large amount were maile in that Stock
the reason assigned for so doing, is the late heavy
failures in Ireland ; several respectable houses here,
connected with that country, having petitioned to
have the transfers made, in order to cover Dills
which became due. •

In the House of Peers last night, the Earl of LI•
VERPOOI. moved that the Otder of their Lordshir
for the sitting of the Secret Committee this day, shoull
be discharged, and that its meeting be postponed
till Saturday—negociations and explanations having
taken place since the passing of the Order, the na-
ture of which, however, he could not feel himself
justified in stating, in the present state of the busi-
ness. This motion was instantly agreed to.
In the House of Commons a similar intimation was
given by Lord CASTLEREAGIIs and the Order of the
Day for resuming the • discussion on the papers in
the green bag was postponed till Friday.

Thus has the corrrectness of the observations and
reasoning which We yesterday laid before the Public
been fully established. The Negotiation has not
terminated, as was stated by all the other Daily Pa-
pers of yesterday, but, on the contrary, is in progress;
and we now venture to go farther, and to say, that
we have no doubt it is proceeding in such a manner
as will meet the wishes of the Nation in its result—
unless Ministers shall prove more unreasonable than
we think at all probable, in the situation in whirls
they are placed, as respecting the two High Person-
ages themselves and the People over whom they reign
We again say :—the QUEEN will not give up any
of her rights ; will not submit to lie dictated to where
she may and where she may not take up her residence.
And farther :—we think we have good grounds for
saying that her MAJESTY will prefer a foreign resi-
deece, but not till the shall be secured against the abo-
minable treatment she has already experienced from
Foreign Courts, and even from the petty underling
Agents of British Foreign Embassies, who owed a
very different line of conduct to the QUEEN ROYAL
and to the People of the United Kingdom. And were
the Royal arrangement finished to-morrow, and her
MAJESTY [actually settled. in an establishment in
a foreign country, on the slightest recurrence of any
treatment savouring of the character of degradation,
her MAJESTY will instantly return to England, where
she knows she will be protected, in spite of every
machination of her enemies, whatever may be their
character, rank, or office in the Kingdom.

To say more at the present moment would be
improper.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon. We hasten, without remark, to lay before oar
Readers the following interesting extracts:

PARIS; JUNE 9.
The Orangery, Fhich extends the length of the Ca-
rousel, is still occupied by a battalion of the Royal
Infantry Guard; sentinels are placed along the outer
railing of the Court of the Tuilleries, and no per-
son is permitted to stand before the railing to see
what passes within.

A number of sentry-boxes have been placed around
the promenade, which has been allotted for 111ADElf01-
sxt.t.n, on the terrace in front of the Pavilion liftman:

The number of the National Guard on duty at the
Chamber of Deputies, is to-day more conside:able

than ordinary.
During the night before lastf several
endeavouring to pass, by stealth, the barrier of
Reailly, near that of Trone, and to escalade the
walls of the inclosure, the Guard fired upon there.
We are assured that one of the offenders has been
killed, and two others wounded.

Some 'tumultuous assemblages took place at ten
o'clock last night, particularly near the Porte Sainte
Martin ; few cries were heardt although the number
of the curious was sufficiently grrat.,
The assemblages were dispersed by the armed
force without any accident occurring.—Jour. de Part •
This evening, about nine o'clock, some groupes et
people assembled near the Porte Sainte Martin. Tliey
amounted to-between two and three hundred. -'
strong force was directed on this point, and ker
marching about 4 a slow step for the Space of art hour•
