The motion Of Mr. Hume for an inquiry into the
management Of the Bank OF England. with reference
TO the currency, and how far that institution has been
instrumental IN causing the panics Of 1926 and 1867,
came on IN the House Of Commons on Monday night;
but owing TO the ignorance Of the questions OF curen-
and banking which prevails among the aristocatical
and almost exclusively landed propristors who com
pose the government Of the conntry-this all impor-
tant motion went of with little effect and made in
an exceedingly thin House.
Even Mr.. Hume, aud those who supported him, by
no means went to the root Of this question, which IN

and indirectly, Of all the monetary affairs Of the whole

totally unqualified persons who elect another, and
whose whole system is behind every thing connected

half Of the debate and the thousand and ten thousand
evils which have arisen from their ignorance and in

possible points Of view

organized the Chartist movements may be very
easily suppressed; but should Mr.. Atwood, as some
parties appear anticipate attach himself to that party,

The Wing Ministry remain in power, and are nightly

The open proceedings OF the Court Of Peers in
respect Of the Insurgents Of the 18th May last have
been declared closed. The following is the sum-
ming up OF the trial
The Procureur General repled--He declined
entering again upon the facts arising ont Of the
evidence, but with great energy rebutted the argu-
ment that the prisoners were not responsible for the
instruction, because il bore political character
He maintained that the acts proved were crimes
against society which merited punishment, and were
unworthy of indulgence. He had heard with re-
and chivalric character of his client The man
who had enrolled and armed the insurgents and
led them TO the murder Of defenceless and innocent
men, was no other than an assassin. In conclusion

Nougues, Bonnet, Roud Gnbert, Delsade, Mialon,
Austen, Lemiere, Watch, Philippet, Dugas, Lon.

of that attempt, he is guilty of the voluntary and
premediied murder Of Lieut. Drouineau.
With regard 10 Mialon, that he is guilty of the
voluntary and premedated murder OF Quartermas-

The Procureur General therefore called upon the
Court to condemn these persons the penalties in
ficted by the law
Declaring, nevertheless, that as to Nougues, Bon
net Roudil, Guibert, Delsade, Austen, Lemiere,
Walch, Philippet Dugas, Longuet, Martin Pierne,
Marescal, Gregoire, he submitted them to the wis

M. Dupont replied in behalf of all the prisoners,
but more particularly for BaIbes and Martin Ber-
nard, and M. Arago also delivered another short
| address in their favor. .1
The President asked the prisoners if they had any
thing to add in their defence.
Barbes then rose, and sad-"I have only to re-
