committee, that the Marquis of Blandford had been duly elected.
Mr. GILLON deferred his motion regarding international emu-
municatiOn, until the 234 inst. •

Mr. WA [BURTON called the attention of the house to the
petition. from the county of Carmarthen, complaining of the'
interference of the steward of a peer at the last election ; hut
after some conversation on the subject the motion was negatived
without any division.
Mr -GIL' 014 deferred, till a supply night, his notice to call
attention to the allowance to the Duke or Sussex, as compared
with those hitherto enjoyed by the other branches of the royal
family.
Mr. O'CONNELL moved that the evidence taken before the
select committee -appointed to inquire int* the working of the
negro apprenticeship in 1837 should be laid before the house,
which was ordered.

Col. SIETHORP made some inquiry as to whether the govern-
or Nf Bermuda was appointed.
Lord J. RUSSELL answered—Yes, and Gazetted some time
ago.

Mr. FIUME said that he should defer his motion for an inquiry
into the "fluctuations of the currency," &c , as he doubted not
that the house would be " counted out ;" hut he should move it
when the next vote of supply was proposed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that neither he nor
the bank would resist fair inquiry; but if the object were to break
any engagetnent entered into with the Bank of England,
he should deem it his duty to resist the committee. At the same
time, he thought an inquiry, with such limitation, was tuo im-
portant to be begun, except at a period when the inquiry could
be completed.
Mr. PATTtSON said that
.the bank was ready to meet, and it
would not shrink front the fullest inquiry.
Mr. fluinE answered that be sought not to unsettle engage-
ments, only to show that the system pursued had led to pre-
judicial results, and that they might have been averted. Agreeing
that the inquiry ought not to be interrupted when commenced,
he should propose it as early as possible next seasion, if then in
the house.

Lord J. -RUSSELL stated, in answer to Sir E. Knatebbull's

SPECIMEN OF THE BATHOS.—At a meeting of the Mechanic's
Institution in Greenock lately, the Rev. Mr. Jeffrey of the Re-
lief Church, who averred that he had equal pleasure in address-
ing "the ploughman with his horny hoof (he must have meant
the ploughman's horse,) and the unwashed mechanic," stated
the cause of Britain's glory in the following terms—" This coun-
try has been ennobled above all other things by the refining if
vigor!" Solely Mr. Jeffrey must have a great attachment to a
good cup of Howqua's, tea.
CURIOCS COINCIDENCE.—An Irish friend of ours, who had
been long connected with the parliamentary reporting depart-
tnent of the press, about eleven years since determined to trans-
fer his talents to Paris, and previous to his departure called in
at the gallery of the Housef of Commons to say adieu to his old
companions, at which time be left Joe Hume, speaking on the
slave trade. Last week he turned on a flying trip and again
entered the gallery, when, to his astonishment, the first voice he
heard was that of the said Joe Hume, still harping on the same
subject. "My God!" he exclaimed, " he dune yet?"

THE SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE,—This journal,
published in a morning and evening edition, contains all the
information essential for merchants and shipowners, who may
be desirous of possessing early intelligence. In every English
and foreign port, where it is practicable to prueure intelligent
and active correspondents, the Shipping Gazette has lavished
'capital, influence, and energy. We are glad to find that the
spirited proprietors have succeeded iu establishing this really •
valuable paper in every seaport town.
UNPRECEDENTED SPEED.—We have heard of quick passages
by steam vessels, but the speed of the Royal William. on her
last trip from London, surpasses any thing of the kind that has
ever reached our ears. Chat splendid vessel arrived from
Loudon this morning, and we ere informed by a passenger, that
she was only lilts-seven houts steaming until she iirrived in
Kingstown Elarle;ur, haying touched at Falmouth and Plymouth
on her voyage. The run from Plymouth to Falmouth (feels-five
miles) was most extraordinary, having been performed in thre.e
.
boors; and from Falmouth to Kingstown Harbour, a distant.,
of 260 miles, in the unprecedented short space of twenty-three
hours.—Dabiiii Post.
