treatment of Don Carlos Gers pst be as lenient as was consis-

Sir R. Peel or the French Government to justify the oe ion 
n Carlos in Spain, or to extract a plea for it, fromt 
interpretation of ape quadruple treaty. The cause baa which that 
Prince suffered was the cause of religion, of geod order, and of 
Fegitiimacy, This wae proved by the result ; Dow Carlos had been 
defeated, ake bea, and infidelity now triumphed over the 
ancient Ch of Spain.—Lord PALMersTon ee ea that 
both the aretich and British Governments bad agreed as to the 
inexpediency of permitting Ae Carlos return to Spain. When 
that Prince was on the point of kai ‘aptured, he was saved 
from his Spanish Giteroniste b ritish, eens: He was then 
Serie to take up his residence bie England, on the condition 
that he was not to rekindle the flames of insurrection in Spain. 
In aiterwards returning to that country, he was guilty of a breach 
of faith. He was not surprised at the motion, asit arose no doubt 
from the feeling that in the ade oe distracted icone on of Spain, 
Don Carlos should have a fair start in eral scramble.— 
‘The documents asked for Se been cenintniered both by Sir R.

Exmouth, and Admiral De Saumarez.—Dr. Bownrino sug: ested 
that in all cases of pele statues, models should Be sent in, and 
the work assigned to the ablest modelist.—Sir R. Peet thought 
there was ee be eas as far as regarded ublie competition 
in such case: Oo means followed that the person who 
made the pest te could execute the best statue.—Mr. HawEs 
expressed a hope that the Government would avail themselves 
of the Royal SOR lo of Fine Arts for the purpose of ascer- 
taining the best mode of erecting memorials to men distin- 
guished in literature eat science. He did not see why the 
military and naval profession should engross all the national 
monuments.—Sir R. Peet thought it very desirable that in Be

thought the country would be prepared to have a proper place 
fitted up for the reception of all statues for which it voted money. 
If, instead of throwing 200,000/. into the Caledcnian Canal, they 
had taken one-half, or even one-fourth of the money, they migh' 
have fitted up an appropriate building for the reception of these 
statues. For the want of a suitable pee: the statue of one 
of our greatest Lye executed by one the greatest of modern 
sculptors, bad been lying in the Mone house for the last ten 
years.—Mr. M. MILN#s thought it was extremely creditable to 
the hon. Member for Montrose that, with all his economical pro- 
pensities, he had always shown himself extremely generous with 
respect to matters of art. He, however, differed from the hon, 
Member on one point, viz., as to the unwillingness on the part of 
those who were the guardians of the great public depositories 
to mect the views entertained by the country: Hebelieved there 
were great difficulties in the way, and from conversation he had 
had with those persons, he could state, that they were as anxious 
to open all to the public, and in every respect to accomplish the 
wishes which, from time to time, had been expressed. He con- 
curred in thinking that there was a class of monuments much 
better calculated for other buildings than a Christian church, and 
he should be glad if the suggestion of Mr. Barry, as to the admis. 
coe of such into Westminster-halJ, should meet with every atten- 
tion.— Captain Pecur expressed himself pouecuy satisfied with 
BG selection of i naval officers made last year to whom st 
‘e to be er ; but ifthe list was not closed, he urged, as 
deserving ster ati horour, the names of Sir R. Strachan, Sir A. 
Cochrane, and Sir J. Duckworth.—Mr, Hug, in ie to what 
had fallen from Mr. Milne, said he was anxious to hear what 
objections could be raised against opening the ionaniehts to the 
ps pelea after the Government hed declared its opinion 
that p ithey. ought to be so opened. The other votes were then 
agreed to. 
Tuesday.—The House met at noon, and on the bringing up of 
the fevort of the committee of supply, Mr. Hume Sebel short 
eeeenin respecting we Suc house frauds moved fora

The Cuanceu.or of the Mea abe sted this, on the 
ground of present inconvenience, promising: ‘that the evidence 
would, however, be forthcoming as early as Lael The House 
‘was connted out at half. past four in the after 
Wednesday.—The Coalwhippers Bill, after ae opposition and 
six divisions, passed through committee.— Mr. T.. Duncombe 
complained manner in which the eae ey of High 
Sheriff of Buckinghamshire for the ensuing year had been 
made by the Privy Council.—Sir J. Granam peplented the facts 
of the case, an that the nomination was strictly 
conformable to law and usege.—Mr. S. CRAwrorD moved the 
second reading of the Landlord and Tenant Ghee pulled 
R, PEEL Srparens the principle of this bill, the same tim 
promised, on the t of Government, to give afair conenernon: 
to the subject. Tre hed already ordered a careful inquiry to be 
made into the laws of England and Ireland, so fay as er re- 
ferred to the relation between landlord and tenant.— After 
remarks by M. O’FrrRALt, Sir A. Brooke, Mr, . O’Con- 
ir D, Norreys, the motion was withdrawn.—The 
Honse went into committee of Waysand Means, and 11,000,000/, 
for Exchequer Bills for the year 1843, and 500,000/, for the pur- 
poses of sayings banks were voted. 
‘The third reading of the Irish Arms Bill having been moved, 
Lord Ciemenvs moved, as an amendment, that it be read a third 
time that day six months,—Captain BERNALL seconded the

sideration to this subject since it Sind been mentioned last year 
by the hon. member for Lambeth. The first difficulty which 
struck him was, as to the place where such monuments should 
be erected. There ‘was very great wise to placing them in 
ecclesiastical edifices, for utiless the public had free access to them, 
no great pubiic object would be aieineth If they did he erect 
them in any edifice—if they erected them out of doors, it was 
almost necessary that they should be of bronze ; yee the expense 
would be enormous, as a statuein bronze was not [ways avery 
great ornament. ways hoped that there SE be some 
portion of that great batding which was now erecting for the 
houses of Parliament that might be appropriated to the statues 
of eminent men; not merely of men of political character, but of 
persons distinguished in aerate on science ; and if he were 
assured that there conld bi t of that edifice so appro- 
priated, he should not ue the slightest difficulty in referring 
the matter to the commission which had been alluded to, and 
which had discharged its duty with the greatest credit to itself. 
But it was a commission appointed to consider the properest 
method of decorating the houses of Parliament; and if its duties 
vee eee beyond the sphere mets to it, the commission 
ht be made a general roving commission for the encourage- 
yuent of the ne arts in this country. Th his was a matter inher 
Ser and he was ne prepared at once to say 
s disposed to at the should ieee: 
take Biber duties than those whiole were originally contemplated 
for it. Therefore, unless he saw reason to believe that there 
would be some portion of the new edifice erecting for the houses 
of Parliament in which statues to men of science could be placed, 
he should wish to reserve to himself the right of judging whether 
the commission was the body which could be properly bata 
on the matter: these circumstances, he was afraid he 
could not say anything definite, excepting that he was as ae erse 
to the principle of the proposition which had been SUBpetced 
The site for the statues was ie chief difficulty. The hall at 
Geeenwich was appropriated to naval men, and nothing arene 
be more proper mea such an aby opriation, for it was suitable to 
the genius loci. He did not wish that the subject should be 
pressed further a present. The Government would be prepared 
to consider the question of erecting statues to men so emi- 
nent as Newton and Davy, but they would wish to be perfectly 
satisfied as to the place where the statues could be put.— 
Mr. V. Smirn felt that there was a great deal of weight 
in the observations which had fallen from the right hon. 
baronet, but there was one point which he had omitted a 
notice, and that was whether the right hon, baronet might n 
refer to the commission to ascertain if there could not be aoe

fruitless. So would it be with the Arm drew a parallel 
between the eas of Ireland under the Whigs and its present 
aspect, affirming that the country was now more combined, 
organized, and excited than even during the agitation for Eman- 
cipation, Even while the Whig majority was diminishing to the 
vanishing point, the Irish Executive had the confidence of the 
people, and the support of the Catholic priesthood, who were 
now, to a man, supporting pee national movement of the Repeal 
of the Union. The infiuen of this priesthood Englishmen 
seemed incapable of understanding, judging from the style in 
f Lords on the 
previous evenin, 
proceeding from thence to the subject of the grant to Maynooth, 
scandalous to those who received it, but far more ignominious to 
those who doled it out. He warned the House against the delu- 
sion of eels that the Repeal agitation was an ignis fatuus, 
hats out of the morasses of Derrynane; and defined a parlia- 
ntary ae by which the eee even of an Imperial Par- 
Hament might be made acceptable to the Irish people, on all 
Irish domestic questions, if the sited and feclings of the ma-

Loss of 11.M.’s Sleam-ship Lizard.—Accounts have 
been received of the total loss of her Majesty’s steam-ship 
Lizard, which was run down by the French man-of-war 
steamer, Veloce. It appears that before day-break on 
Monday, the 24th July, when about 20 miles from Cartha- 
gena, a light was reported on the larboard bow of the 
Lizard. The officer of the watch, in obedience to the 
positive orders of the Admiralty when steamers meet each 
other, immediately put his helm a-port, but owing to the 
other vessel putting her helm a-starboard, the Lizard was 
struck by her on the larboard paddle-box, the shock of 
which was so violent as to throw the Lizard over on her 
starboard side and carry away the funnel-stays. The 
officers and men below immediately rushed on deck, the 
engineer in charge blew off the steam, and was proceeding 
to pump out, when the rush of water was so violent, an 
the Lizard was apparently sinking so rapidly, that the 
men were ordered to save themselves by climbing up the 
bowsprit rigging of the other vessel. At the instant the 
collision took place the Lizard’s boats were ordered to be 
lowered, but the passage aft was obstructed by the bow- 
sprit and bow of the other vessel, so that the only persons 
on the quarter deck were the quartermaster’s man at the 
wheel, and one or two officers, who had come up from 
their ‘cabins, and who, seeing that to all appearance all 
others had left, followed their example. Determined, 
however, not to abandon the Lizard whilst there was 
chance of saving her, the boats of the vessel (which proved 
to be the French man-of-war steamer Veloce, of 1,200 
tons and 220 horse power) were lowered, in which some 
of the officers and men of the Lizard returned, and saved 
a sick boy and passenger, with some two or three one
