Wo make some further and amusing extracts frojn the recent debates of the British House of Commons. On a motion for a committee to enquire into the means of establishing a system of National Education — ♦'Mr. Cobbett rose for the purpose of making rv few- observations on the scheme of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. He could not iielp fearing' that liis scheme would not be productive of good, [a laugh.] Every one knew that within the last twenty -five years education had increased in this country at least twenty-fold. Every one knew al.so that the morals of the people had not mended within that period. The" had been assured to-day, in that House, that the crii..e of drunkenness had increased prodigiously within the period in question, ^a laugh.] The spread of edu- cation, therefore, had not suppressed drunkenness, [laughter.] He maintaintid that our ancestors were much better as regarded their morals, as well as in other respects, than we are. Every one who knew anything on the subject knew this. Tiie people would therefore be as well without the intellectual enjoy- ment of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman as they would be with it. He had already said that there had been a great increase of crime along with the in- crease of education. In England and Wales crime had increased within the last quarter of a century four, if not seven-fold. An Hon. Member here said "nine fold." Mr. Cobbett— Well, then, nine-fold, [laughter, and criei of no, no. j It could not at any r.ite be denied that the number of bastard children had greatly in- creased with the spread of education, [laughter.] It had been proved before a Committee of the House of Commons, that the moral restraint of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had in that respect been quite ineffectual, [loud laughter.] The crime of bas- tardy had, he repeated, increased to a prodigious ex- tent, and which did bodily and intellectual injury at the same time, [laughter.] The Honourable and Learned Gentleman l.ad told them that a system of education similar to the one he proposed was now in operation at New York; tlwt half a million of people had received instrticiion according to this intellectual scheme; and that the best moral eflects had resulted from it. The Recorder of New York, he (Mr. Cob- butt) must inform the House, gave a very different ac- count, fie had instituted an inquiry into the way in whirh it operated on the morals ofllie people, bv .x- I terests of the lawyers in preference to the general interests of the nation (he.tr, hear, and cries of ' no.') However respectable the talents of that class of gen- tlemen might be, he did not think them quite worth the sacrifice. His own opinion was very strong that Xhz House ought to sit by day and never by night, and that the business of the niition would not be done jjroperly until such a change was made. An im- mense quantity of the public business was not indeed done, but gone through during the kte sittings at night. It would assuredly be a great loss to be tle- prived of the ])res % ce of the lawyers, but if the question were between their clients and the public, he should not have much difficulty in deciding. — Irish Members came himdreds and thousands of miles from tlieir homes to attend their public duties, and the lawyers might make a slight sacrifice if they chose also to the Members of Parliament. To tre.\t the matter otherwise was not paying sufficient defe- rence to the people. He hoped before he was a year ol'ler that the House would adop' lome regula- tion for doing business at uii hour when it was tnins- acted by all other public bodies. There was notaiuj- ther assembly in the world where public business was dispatched after midnight. " Sir J. Scarlett never meant (o make the question his own, or that it should have leference to himself. If the House were to sit in the morning it would not be less infested with lawyers, but they would he exclusively Irish lawyers [cheers, and laughter]. " Lord Morpeth said the truth of the case was, that they would never get through the business unless some Hon. Members would determine on a little ab- stinence [cluersj in the number and length of the addresses which tney thought it their duty to address to the House. " Sir _R Peel said he was truly surprised that througliout this long and destdtory conversation no Honorable Members had been found generous enough to withdraw some of their motions which stood for Tuesdays and Thursdays [hear, hear, hear!] There were at least twelve or thirteen notices on the books which could be most advantageously postponed [hear, hear!] — usefully so for the public interest; indeed he did not know that a more generous contribution could be made to the prosperity of the State or the exigencies of the public service than their withdraw- al [laughter and cheers,]" , ^. . ., "^ that sphere we should icgatd him wit honor to our country; bti' »'elookfors different in the House ot Lords, where we must find the coriTCtive influence of the quality of Lord Brougham's are In the British House of ("ommons, n D.

Some most disorderly scenes have occurred in the Britisli House of Lords during tiie pre- sent session of Parliament. The last number of the London New Monthly Magazine con- tains an article of heavy censure upon the offenders, in which Lord Chancellor Brough- am is handled as follows. " Of l.:te we have observed — not on occasions few and far between, but frequently — such a change in the character of the discussions in the House of Lords, as must, if continued, end in a complete loss of that public respect which heretofore the House has main- tained.

An attache of the Spanish Kmbassy at London, had arrived at Paris with despatches, relative to the future settlement of Don Carlos. The Duchess of Berry has recently signed an im- ' Bortant act, that of renunciation of "he guardianship of her children. It was upon her last visit to Prague, that Charles X. required of her this act, as the conse- quence of her marri.ige. The Swedish ambassador has again appeared a\. \ the Tuileries — a reconciliation between the two go- vernments having taken place. It will be recollected he hastily withdrew from the I'rL-nch court, in conse- quence of the representation of a piece at one of the theatres, in which Uernadotte w:;3 reflected upon ra- ther severely. Several engineers have arrived at St. Omer, to pre- pare f he plans for a Railroad between Paris and Lisle, with a branch to Dunkirk. i Louis Philippe will visit Toulon in July. | Slock Exchange, June 24th — Half past 4 o'clock. The market continues heavy, but the Threes have nevertheless improved slightly. In Foreign Seciui- ties likewise there is little doing. For Money the Fives have risen 5c. ; the Threes 15c.; Neapolitan lOc; Cortes have fallen 1-2; Guebliard's 5-8; Uentes Per- p^tuelles 1-8; for the end of the month the Fives have declined 5c.; Roman 1-8; the Threes have im- proved 20c.; Belgian and Kentes Perpctuclles 1-4. Yesterday the King arrived at the Tuillcries at half past 11 o'clock, and transacted business with the Mi- nister of the Finances, the President of the Council, and the Minister for Foreign Allairs. At half past 4, his Majesty returned to Neuilly. On '.Monday, his Excellency Lord Granville, and yesterday the" .Vustrian Ambassador, went to the ho- tel of the Miiiis'er for Foreign Affairs, and held long ; conferences with .\dmiral I)e Rigny. Of the 54,000,000 hectares, contained in the entire superficies of France, 14,500,000 are sown with corn of different kinds, making, upon an average, one acre for each inhabitant. The aver.ige produce of the whole is 167,27'1,000 hectolitres; after deducting the grain used fm- seed in the distilleries, for the food of domestic animals, and what is lost in being coiivc\eil from one |)lace to another, or destroyed by insects, fermentation, and other iiccid-nts, 182 kihiganimos of aliment:iry matter, equal to one pound of bread a dav, remains for e;»ch inhabitant. Hut as, in this cal- culation, there .are only sixty-two kdogramnies of wheat, it results that France 'does not grow a suf- ficiency of this grain for all her inhabitants, who are consequently obliged to supply the deficiency with otiier grain. The nobility of the Roman Stales, with sever.d princes, at their liead, have presented a petition to the Po|)e, comjilainingof the enormity of the land tax, and praying that' this tax, the Agno Uoniaiio. should be est'iniatf-d at 8,JJ0,00J sc.idi, instead of its present amount of 12,0j0,000 scidi. A letter from Komf, datekv;, then across to numerous" islands, which led us to the north side of the lake. The scenery there was composed of the the most cr.iggy and picturesque rocks — mostly primitive, and consisting of fles'i-colored feldspar and quartz, with a few trees of inconsidcraijle size. As we athanced, tiie appearance became mo.'t posing, from the circumstance of the granite, or rather the last formation yielding to the trap, which displayed itself in long parallel ranges of natural precipices, not unfrequently extended to the hori- zon. In two places the southern shore approaches with- in a mile of the northern, and the deiroits thu.s form- ed have never been know to freeze. More than one island had a coluniner or basaltic form on the precipitous or south west side. Ttio water unlike the turbid yelloi^ We had left, was now of transparent blue, and so cold that ice often forme J during the night, I had now got to lat. 62 deg. 51 min. 40 sec. N.,- and long. 1U9 deg. 25 min. W., and could perceive a I'vng blue point stretching to the S. E. which my In.lian s ud we must round, or miike a portage to get to the cas'ern extremity of Gi-eat Slave Lake. — " There," cuitinued lie, "voa wdlfinda river w.hich [I know not what the Great Chief may do bi^ti^ we who are iiorn here on the *pot cannot ascend." Up- on further i .(juiry I found h^* was riglit, and that some 1 time would oe sived by taking a mtire indirect CO irse, wh.ch celf in an intemperate word — all these Ii;f. c disajipearcd, and in their place we have beheld ban- ter and ridicule, when tiie gravest mutters were \:n der di.scussion — unseemly heat and violence in argu- ment, and sometimes such a clamour, and loss of self, respect, as is seldom witnessed in any more dignified scene of controversy than that at the Old Uailey, when inferior counsel, adapting their manner to the taste of their clicnt-s, endcavom- to brawl themselves into profitable reputation. If discussions of this dis creditable nature continue in the upper House of Parliament, its character as a superior deliberative assembly will be lost — it will be considered to have more than the faults of the House of Commons, with- out the accountability to constituents which is a check on that assembly, or the temporary character, which, with respect to tlie lower House, gives frequent cp- portunity for amendment:— it will sink in nublic es- teem, and the inevitable consequence of that will be, if long continued, that its power and usefulness will be at an end. " It is cspeci.illy a mutter of regret, that the chief mover in these scenes of novel indecorum in the House of Lords is the very man who ought, by his presiding care to prevent them from taking place. The Lord Chancellor himself is the man who, carry- ing his fiery habits of debate, and his love of victory in discussion (without consideration of the dignity of the means he uses) into the House of Lords, has done so much, and threatens to do so much more, to alter its cl'.aracter — to make it a theatre of popular debate, with more than the usual license of such de- bate, instead of .sustaining its character as a place of grave deliberation. The noble and learned Lord has done more than this, — he has set an example of contempt for the Peers around him, and the general tone and manner of these proceedings, witii the coarse multitude (not of the .simple common people, but the vain smattcrers in politics) will be most ready to follow. The Lord Chancell-ir in his careless de- termination to distinguish himself, according to the peculiar manner in which his talents enable him to do so most easily, seems utterly to disregard the in- jury he may do to the character of the asseml)ly to which he now belongs. The weapons which the I.,ord Chancellor can use with such remarkable pow- er and effect are unseemly in the House of Lords; but what cares he for that.' He desires to astound the House, and to fix the attention of the public by the exliibition of his skill and power in sarcasm and invective; and though few things could be more de- rogatory to the House than such an exliibition, yet he will rather make the House and the country un- dergo that penally, than refrain from this method of victory and display. NVe might point to other members of the House, too, of diflerent politics, whose rash notions and boisterous manner show but little sense of that dignity and propriety which should f be ever before them; but from these little harm would be likely to arise, if the authority upon the woolsack were exercised according to the former spirit of the House of Lords. As it is, however, any Peer who errs upon the side of violence, is apt in- deed to find an antagonist upon the woolsack, well pleased to enter the lists witli him, and to encounter roars of passion with roars of laugliter; but he will not meet that dignified correction and grave rebuke which would restore the House to its proper tone of de' lite, and re assert the dignity of its proceedings. "Let it not be supposed that we state these things in any spirit of party hostility to Lord Brougham. We entertain no cuch hostility.

The !at. of its southern extreuiUy is G> dt'g. 24 miii. 33 sec. N., long. 108(leg 11 inin. W.,ora little to the northward of tlu^ Chesadawd Lake of Hearne, which, however, is not known b)' the- natives. In making a succession of portages from lake to lake, I cros.sed the same tri«veller*s hue of route, and fell on a lake of such magnitude as to be bounded on the E. by E by the horizon. In a N. E. direction it led us to a river, which we went up, and ag.^in launch- ed the c.inoe on another extensive sheet o*" wa:er. We were bewildered several tim-es among the islands and deep bays, still I kept going to the N. E. in which direction I was the more ;<>*sin'ed the river must be, from the general flatness of the surrounding land, and pariicuh.rly from the north-west dip of a few s:uul hills that were occasionally seen to the north- ward. After being three days on the same lake, I eniiamp- ed on some sand-hills at the bottom of the bar, and despatched the men in two parlies to look for the Tlilew-cc-cho-dezeth, the s:jurce of which I acci- dentally discovered while occupied in taking Bomo angles from the smnmit of u iiill. On the third day the people returned, having fallen on the river at some distance from us. Tiie cation was immediately carried to its stream, which is nar- row in some piirts, and connected with a chain of small lakes by detroits and rtipids. I could not for- got giving my poor voyageurs a glass of gro,; on tliis occasion, after which gialetul ceremony we [nirsued the inetinderings of the current, sometimes with ice on ^acii b:i".k, till the Isl of September, when my little canoe was so shattered, tlic nights were so cold, the country totally destitute of wood, and the men fairly exhausted, that I could not with any de- gree of prudence incur fuither risk this season. The place whence 1 returned is in latitude 62 deg. 41 mill. N., and longitude 108 deg. 13 min. W., about 11.5 miles east of Fort Enterprize, and only 109 miles from the nearest part of Bathurst Inlet. We had been fourteen days wUhout wood) and on. the 5th of Septen^fer got to the**nrst dwarf pines, about two feel high, and on the 7th concluded the journey, by arriving at the east end of the Great Slave Lake, where I had previously directed Mr. M'Leod to commence the building of our establish- ment. The two boats under Mr. King got to us exactly r week after, and it is satisfactory to state, that most of the stores, &c. were undamageil, i Our winter house I have called •* Fort Reliance," from a feeling of dependence on that Providenco which will support us amidst every trial to which we may be exposed, it is situated on a sandy point in a , deep bay, which receives two small rapid streams ■ from the northward, and is surrounded by mountains and red miceous granite and gneiss. • Fort Reliance is in lat. 62 deg. 48 min. 15 sec. N., and long. 109 deg. 10 min. W. the variation of the needle being 25 deg. 41 min. E. and considering this and the entra ice of tlie Mackenzie R ver as the two extremes of t'le Gre;it Slave Lake, it will be found to equal Lake Michigan in length and may therefore be considered as tlie second largest lake in America. I I have a very compact obscrva. Jry built where the needle is performing its diurnal functions with more or le-ss rogiilarily, accordmg to the appe«ranc« of the aurora, or other atmospheric plienomena Tba dip, nvignetic force, &c. have also been ascertained j nor all) i coii-icious of having omitted atiy thing that the frienils and protectors of the sciainffc part of this expedition in:iy have expected from me.
