Mr. Cullen himself. a comm,4• scoter, had stated in 1114 evidence, that no Court could be worse constituted than that of Commissioners of Ilaukrupts: and the Committee had expressed a hope that such defects would be remedied by the proper authority. On the *abject ofs country commissions. though in some places they migl:t be tolerably well managed, yet in many they were a gross job, and the Commissioners were selected by the solicitor. The Committee thought that no additional power should be given to country Commissioners. On that subject a regulation of the late Lord Chancellor Rossylu might be adopted with good effect. The fact was, that much abuse existed relative to country commissions. The Committee had been employed , on this subject a very coaaiderable time, during which, no Committee could have laboured more strenuously. But the subject well in itself a difficnlt one.and in especial manner surrounded with legal difficulties, which could not has c been surinannted without t h e aid of -professional men. That had been the reason why no measure had been sooner submitted to the House. He understood there was a great disposition on the part of Government to reform the Bankrupt Laws in Ireland. The lion. Cientleman concluded, by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Bankrupt Laws. Sir J. Ness porer laid, that under the present systeni the ' Bankrupt Laws in Ireland were only a protection to fraud. Mr. Witorrrutne thought, both the Commissioners of Bankrupts and the public, were much indebted to the labour of the Committee of which the Hon. Member was chairman. Could proper accommodation be obtained for the Commis. sinners, one half of the evil of the present system would be removed. The city of Lands n gave a preference to Guild hall, but much less time would be lost if a ditferent place should he selected. Time gentleman who had built the Cus tom Hcuse, Mr.Peto, had bought Pornival's Inn, from the So ciety of Lincoln's Inn, and had made an offer to build pro peracconamodation for all the Commissioners, and the money to he paid by instalments. Such an offer was worthy of con si erasion. Mr.Loctritarr observed, that*more impartiality and more e'siduity had never been dispinyed by any Committee, than tat upon the Bankrupt Laws. A distinction had been made between the honest and the frandalent bankm apt, and the pa ' shim:cot would be proportioned to the guilt. Mr. Ftrmav conceived that the system of the Bankrupt Laws would he much improved from the proposed alterations. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. FEES OF COURT. Sir J. tiewettlyr said, that a question lead been tarried same time back by a majority of only one respectable indi vidual. It was for a Return of the 'Fees paid into the Master's Office. Two klastets of 'Chancery were then appointed, as Commissioners to Inquire into the abuses that prevailed in their own office. He did not at that time, nor did be now consider them as the fittest persons to investigate the subject, and their Report proved titat his suspicions were founded in truth. It was presented in June 1816, and a Supplement to this Report wairsince le oilfired, which proved that the Com missioners in their inquiry had entirely overlooked On Act of Parliament. It was the 241 of Geo. II and provided that as'olicitors who had practised in auy other Court should, on their admission Into the Court of Chancery, pay a fee ut only one AMOK. The practice, however, was to charge one pound or one pound seven shilliege, and upon ibis Act the Commis. stoners in their Reports anal Supplement were totally silent. The Irish and Sentell Commissioners, very much to their credit, and to the advantage of the public, had not acted in this manner. They had detected name ous abuses, and had accompanied their Reports with such recommendations of improvement as would cause a saving to suitors of at least 60,0001. a year, besides considerable savings to the Consoli dated Fund. The Seated' Commitoeuners had presented font Report•; those for Ireland had drawn up the same number, and had four more in a state of readiness. lie knew no rea son why the English Contuoissioneu% should receive Igool. year, white the Sroteh and Irish only received 80th. The 4:on tttt issioners appointed to inquire inio the Fees of the Master's (ffice, held lecrative situations tinder the Crown, •which gave them a pat titular interest in the subject they had to investigate. The expense of the Leglish Commission, which produced onts one Report, was 21,etal. white that of the Irish, which prodaced leer, was out) 16,0001. alt.! of the Scoteirlo,oool. Vieon these ground= lie would propose the •fullowine Resohniou, it: conformity with the recommendation of the Finance Committee upon this subject ;--" That the House agreed with their Committee in thinking that Com missioners who lied official duties to perform, had a tendency to continue such Commissiou to as unnecessary length; that it was the business of the Commissions. s to avoid unnecessary delay, and to ley before the House front time to time Reports of their proceeding, which could not he done with sufficient promptitude, when they load offn ial duties to perform." Mr. BATisuasT opposed the Motior. He world net now go into the specific question whether melt officers as those alluded to were lit persons tr.: act as Commissioners. It would be easy, however, to prove that their superior knowledge counterbalaueed any inconvellience that might arise from ieher causes. The Right Hon. Member went at some length into the arguments used by Sir John Newport, and contended that the Reports, as well as the number of days employed by the Eaglish Commissiotters, were more at length than those of the Irish and Scotch C eeminsioners. From the view which he took of the snbject, he felt it his duty to move the previous question. After some observations from illr. Conrtenay, Sir Charles 'Lynam, the Solicitor tieneral and the Attorney General, Sir Joint Newport replied, when the original question was put sad negatived witliona. a division.--Adjourned. THURSDAY. Mr. AV neTtv.sccy gave notice, that cm Saturday he 0109 id InOve for lea% e to filing to a ;till to repeal that part of th e Siatikrupt Law by which the Commissioners of Banisrupts were obliged to hold their third meeting at Guildhall. Mt. J. SMITH m - ,ved that on Saturday the House should revolve itself it tl a Committee, to consider of the propriety of f sing salaries the Commissioners of Bankrupts, instead of foes, and of providing a fit and proper place for them to hold their meetings.—Agreed to. The Portugal Slave Trade Treaty Bill was read a third time and passed. POOH LAWS. '.fir. S. Burnet gave notice, that he would, on Saturday cent, lay before the House a ropy of a most valuable docii. annul front the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, c:ativs to the Poor Lows, and the priusiplcs upoo which the TIM NATIONAL REGISTER, treatment of the pourpi utiecded in that country. He briilted to take this opportunity of asking the Hun. Gentleman op. polite (Mr. Brougham) whether it was his intention, dui ing the present Session of Piallainent, to submit any lull to the House open the subject of finals appropriated to the sup. port of the poor. Mr. /Utmost/4m concurred with the Hon. Gentlemtn (Mr S. Bounte) in the sentiments he had expre•sril upon the sa Nettle document transmitted from the Get o'fai Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It was kiihly important to obtain from men so intelligent,tind so well intermetl upon this sub. ject, a knowledge of the system of Poor Laws, or rather of no Pitor Laws, acted upon in Scotland, with such beneficial ' effects as to render it an object worthy of the most serious consideration. It was to be regretted that the venerable body from whom it came had not inure time to consider the snbject. "they were called upon for their opinions, anal for atcoillinu nication of the plan adopted in the itiatiagentent pi •tbe pour in Scotland. They transmitted them with the utmost reach- , ness, and had their zeal for the public good not prompted them to use so muds dispatch, the report would undoubtedly has e been much more valuable than it was. lie cordially joined in the commendation of their readiness and honest seal. - In answer to the question put to hint by the lion. Member (Mr. S. Connie) he feared that he would not be able, during the present Session, to present to the Holm' ail detailed plan or bill upon the subject of the poor.--Adjourned until Saturday. 11.1218U1 GU MA/L. th mi ti tGH, :ST A y 114.—We have received from Cgiers the following interesting and remarkable account*:— ' A tette; from Algii 7 rs, dated Merck 5, says—The present Dry, Housin, is a good man : he was one of the four minis ters and mailers of the horse, as they here call him, (hod gid de Cattealtos; and, on the death of the late tyrant, was elected by the Divan ; which has not been the ease for these 20 years, as the six Paella, before Aly were murdered by the rebellious sotliery. This election, which took place in the most peace's*/ and orderly manner, has been attended Kith no bloodshed, net has any one been banished. On the other hand, several individuals who were banished under Omar t'acha, as disturbers of the peace, are recalled, and have ob• tabled important offices. Time will show whether these per• sons will take warning from the lesson they have already re ceived, or will set on foot a new consplraey. The Ist of March this year, the day of My l'acha's death, willbe ever tternorable in the eolith of Algiers : that tyrant bad still many ruinous projects and cruelties in cuntempiation, *tech were shortly to be carried into effect. Thus. there was lotted in his pocket-book the following memorandum, writtets by him• self—' The daughter of the English Consul, a very pretty and sensible girl, 15 years of age ; and the sister of the Mitch Consul, who is handsome and accomplished, shall be conveyed by force ont of their henees, and compelled to change their religion, and to be the Dey's mistresses. The daughter of time Spanish Consul,who is not so handsontr, shall be watched and kept-in reserve. The English Comm!, the Spanish Contml, and a Sew -named Bensanion, who is under English protection, who had been already compelled to assume the terhau, shall be hcheaded.' "The day for the execution of this horrid plan was not ye fired. The Dey seemed to waver in his mind, and disposed WI Walt till he saw whether the Consuls would submit to have their houses (which, according to the treaties, ate to he con sidered as harems,) broken into and plundered, or whether they woeld make any resistance; in this last case, they were to be cut to pieces.

THE EFFECT OF SAVING 8.1NK5..; AND BENEFIT CLUBS. There is at present a conspiceons instance of refermatinn of maimers, among the labouring classes of men and industri ous inn ringniCi ; for we are etiabl , ?ii to trace it in the increase of Saving Banks, first ricomineerird by Dr. Jos. Adams, anti afterwards adopted by the late Mr. Rose. It Is very rarely that any application was made by those who belonged to Benefit Clubs for parochial relief, and still more rarely by those who have acquired the habit of saving their weekly earnings, so as to spare stllae small part of it fur the flame benefit of themselves and children. It is a well founded ob servation, that parochial applications are commonly made by those have never exercised theiuselvesin the habit of saving their money, or looking forward to the probability of a cloudy day; those who seek only fur present enjoyment will seldom be found thoughtful of any provision fur reverse of fortune, ouch more in that to which we allude. Many of the lower description of the people are now mak ing great savings, and some of them who began when ei:le.r Benefit Clubs or Saving Banks were first instituted, arc iris , / feeling the satisfaction of their little thud; many a sixpcm:e which used to ho. idly spent, is now retained for this purpose, and Om their inoral life becomes less disputable, and their behaviour is In general better, because they feel the benef of having a stake in society which they never before eel!. sidered ; and they experience the satisfaction now,whicli they seldom enjoyed before, of a more generous notice and en couragement front their seperiurs. Those who earn front 30 to Cis. a week, find themselves possessed of a Nod worth depending upon and preserving, and are well excited to an additional exertion of industry and care, to pi eserve ant increase it. As SOOll as these Banks become general through the country, accompanied by Christian education fur the children, there Cat: be little doubt of a change in this part of our Hatitninl character.
