ENGLAND.

| ENGLAND.
In the House of Commons on the 10th, Mr.
DruInmond asked wether the Government had
considered the effects of the reduced value oil
gold and its consequences and whether it was
not advisable to appoint committee to inquire
into the altered value of the standard. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that the
Government had carefully watched the course Of
monetary transactions, and especially the influx
and efilux of gold, but they had seen no proof oil
the reduced value of the precious commodity
and had no intention under present circumstan-
ces, and at present advised, to appoint COM
mittee of inquiry.
On Friday night. March IL, both Houses had
under discussion subjects connected with the Go.
vernment of India. The Jewish Disabilities bill
came up in the House of Commons for the Sc
cond reading and of course awakened warm
debate. Sir. F. Thesiger moved that the bill be
read that day six months. Lord Montague Graz
ham seconded the meadment. Mr.. Bernal Os-
borne urged that relig ious liberty violated in
the exclusion of Jews from Parliament, and
thought the question not one of Jewish disabi-
ties, but of the right of Christians to be repre-
sented by whom they pleased. Lord A. Vane,
Mr. Henley, Mr.. Newdegate, and Mr.. Drum
mond totally opposed the bill on Christian
bert defended the bill on the same grounds
Mr. Scully would not allow the division to take
place, without stating that the Irish Roman
Catholics gave their cordial support to the BILL

NeaD York Amendments.

The great question of the day at Washington
appears to be the appointment of Collector for
the port of New York, Messrs. Shell, (Hunker)
for this post. Bothare strongly back ed by their
respective factions, and such is the bitter
ness of the feud and the apacity of the
parties that there seems to be no possibility
OF compromising the matter. None of the New
York appointments have yet been made and
1t IS sa id that they occasion vast deal oftrouble
to Gen. Pierce and his Premier, Gov Marcy
The latter gentleman, though the father of the
spos system, finds himself sorely perpexed in
the attempt to make it work to his own satisfnc-
ton and to that of his friends on the present &C.
casion. This predicament is truly an unenvable
one. The Hunkers already hate him, the Barn
burners distr INST him and whatever may be the
result ofthe scramble Of these Infatuated factions
he Is sure to be denounced and abused by the dis
appointed party as the author and contriver of all
their woes.
To a disnterssted bystander it would seem
an easy matter to put an end to this controversy
by dividing the offices equally between the two
wings of the party. But it is said neither will
be content with this arrangement. The Hunkers
In particular insist on putting their rivals be-
yond the pale of executive patronage in couse-
quenee of the refusal the part of the latter to
declare their full approval of Gen. Pierce's In
augurai. They argue that the tree sellers have
already Joined issue with the administration and
are NOT to be trusted to support its policy 1t
would pe hard to say how all this will end, but
IN the meantime we commend to our locofoco
ir'eonS the trite but sage homily of old Salust-
eoacof9td Pdro@ res crescunt, discordia MARINE

NAL outpourings. They ordered the man to shut
up which he refused to do, because he evidently
aboured under the mistaken impression that he
was producing concord of sounds sweet and
meodious as to tempt even Apollo to become an
auditor. The Charlies finding it useless to waste
words with the vocalist, laid hands upon him in
the midst of one of his most brilliant passages,
and led him off TO the station house. Yesterday
he was brought before thu Mayor-gave his name

WASHINGTON, March 81.
In the Cabinet meeting on Saturday, the New
York nominations being under consideration,
Mr.. Marcy fought to the last, and all along against
the hard shells, bit despite all his efforts it is
said that Schell will be Collector.
Mr.. Marcy is willing that any other man than
Mr. Sche be appointed, aud is embittered by
the prospect of his success There seems to be-
combination ofinfuences tending to make Mar
cy's position anything but comfortable. The
New York Hunkers who opposed Marcy are de-
termned to break him down.
Mr.. Pierce wants to he President, aud is not
satisfied that the Secretary Ct State should be or
seem so. The programme that is expected to
90 to the Senate to morrow, includes Birdsall for
Navy Agent and O'SuIlivan, ub-Treasurer.
Soue is deeply grieved ut the nomination Of
Slidell. The result will probably be that Slide
will be confirmed with the understanding that he
shall decline, and then Soule may have chance
for nomination for himself or for some person
not inimical to him.
