COLONIAL SECRETARY.
T'nev:6Yiler of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on
the motion expressing a want of confidence in the Colonial
Secretary". having heed read,
Mr. LEADER rose to address the house. He was sorry the
question. had taken the turn ithad it was no longer a question
as to the policy. of the Colonial atilee, but one of whether the
present administration shotild. remain in their places or not—
( Hear, hear.) He was sure, however, the house: would thank
his honourable friend for bringing under the consideration of
the house the danger which threatened all her majesty's colo-
nies, under the government of. Lord Gienelg. The noble lord
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs last night 'complained that
this motion should have emanated from the quarter it had done,'
but how could the noble lord be surprised when those with
whom he (Mr. Leader) acted had been been deceived and de-
luded by the present government?—(Hear.) They had as long;
as therpossibly could given their support tolthe present pro-
fessitw,- liberal ministry, but he repeated they had been deceiV-
ed and deluded. (Hear.) The present government had not
performed its promises, and they were only supported by mem-
bers who thought they were a little better than hon. gentlemen
oppoite. (Laughter.) He did not believe the country would
lose by any change of administration. The present ministry
professed themselves Whigs, and all their acts Were grounded
in Tory principles. (Hear.). He would; therefore, rather see
a tory government in power than the present ministry. (Hear.)
lie could not, however, vote for the amendment of the noble
lord the member for Liverpool.

Surt3TlTCTiort oP MEDicAr. Dipt.omAs.—A letter in the
Latoiet of this week states, that some young men who idled
away their. time have paid others to pass their professional ex-
aminations for them, and have thus obtained diplomas and
qualifications fur practice which otherwise they woahl never
have procured. "A case is within the cognisance of the writer,
in wisich a -young man, new practising in the eastern division
of Somerset, bas obtained 'the medical superintendence of an
union, under the New Yoor•Law, consisting of four large par-
ishes, am! who never underwent any .sort of examination, but
obtaired his diploma through a certain .firm, located not far
from ).-Idsonm-street, by pay mP-,nt to the principal of some 20
guineas.. In fact the Halt and College are in possession of a
clue to the ramification of as complete a system of wholesale
itaPosition of this kind as ever was. practised." That the hall
has flick., power-pf prosecuting and bringing to punishment the
parries :cont•erned in this nefarious proceeding we have little
doulit, but we fear that the College. of Surgeons can not do so.

with the'most important results to steam navigation and manu-
facturer., particularly in that country, by means of which the
