THURSDAY'S POST. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1822.' APrivate letter states, that the Greeks have pro- claimed the independence of their country, and. the formation of a Provisional Constitution and Government, by which Christianity is declared the religion Of the state, and the Executive power is con- fided in five . pe/ sons, chosen by the representatives of the nation. At, present Greece is composed of four provinces — the Peloponnesus, Western Greece, Eastern Greece, and the Islands of . the Archipelago. Each has it particu- lar congress; " of . the first, Prince Ypsilanti is president; of the second, Marrocordato; of the third, M. Negri; and of the fourth, one of the principal inhabitants of the island of Hydra. There will be formed other provinces, as the other parts'of Greece free themselves from the Turk- ish yoke.' There is also, an Areopagus in each of the great provinces, ' for the administration of civil justice. The National Congress sits this year at Corinth, and re- mains in permanent session all this first, year. It is stated,. on the same authority, that in a solemn as- sembly of the Greeks lately held at Corinth, it was decreed to send four. Ambassadors to the principal European Powers—. Russia,, Austria, England, and France; but for what purpose is not mentioned. We may suppose, how- ever, to solicit their support, or at least their neutrality, in the arduous and sanguinary . struggle between the Greeks and the Ottoman Government. A meeting, of the merchants, and ship- owners- of Lon- don was held on the 23d inst. for the purpose of present- ing a representation to Government 0n the expediency of admitting the vessels of Columbia, Buenos Ayres, and other independent countries of South America, to enter in our ports. The meeting resolved on a Memorial to this effect, which having been signed by the principals of 26 commercial houses, was presented to the Privy Coun- cil ; and the prayer of the memorial has been acceded to by Government, which is a virtual recognition by Eng- land of the independence of the Spanish Colonies. PARLIAMENT.— The Marquis of Londonderry, on Mon- day night, brought forward his motion for the consideration of the Agricultural Report. ( See our 4th page). His Lordship went over, in considerable detail, the views he had before taken of this important subject; and concluded by moving for an advance of 1,00o, 000;. of Exchequer Bills on corn, while wheat is under 60s. The other principal propositions of his Lordship were— The Owners of Foreign Corn nbtrtn warehouse to be permitted to grind it for the purpose of exportation— Tiie Ports to be opened when the home price shall lie tlO. v. and continue open until it be below 70s. While the price shall be between those sunis a duty of 12s. and an additional 5s. for the first three months— A million of Ex- chequer Bills also to be advanced to Ireland. Country One Pound Notes to be permitted as at present till the expiration of the Bank Charter, which is to be extended ten years— The Army and Navy Pension List, now near 5,000.000/. to be contracted for, during 45 years certain, and thus to be immediately reduced by about 2,200,000/.— The Sinking Fund to be retained at compound in- terest, at least for. ten years. Mr. Canning's motion, last night, for the admission of Catho- lic Peers into the Legislature, was carried by a majority of five, in an unusually full House; the number of Members present being 493. ( See our 4th page). . The proposition was opposed by Mr. Secretary Peel, and supported by Mr. I'lunkett; and tlie conflict reminded us of the brightest days of the House of ' Commons, for its display of oratorical powers. The accounts from Ireland are of a mixed complexion. Lawless outrage is said to be on the decline, but in some • of the south- western counties it has been succeeded by the • extremes of wretchedness and famine. The Galway Ad- vertiser says, " Seven persons died last week in the neigh- hourhood of Killydesart from actual want.— The streets of Ennis are lined. with labourers and tradespeople, who stand leaning against the houses, their arms folded, and despair in their countenances. Their potatoes having failed, they have neither- present food nor seed for the next season : they have therefore left their land waste, and have, with their families," become wanderers through the country."— A meeting of the gentry of tU? Baroiiy of Inchiquin, as- sembled tt) take- into consideration the frightful state of wretchedness in. which the peasantry are plunged, adopted as one of their Resolutions, " That having investigated the returns of the individuals who liad been appointed to inquire into the extent of distress in the Ba- rony of Inchiquin, we find the number of persons who at present have neither food nor the means of acquiring it, to be above 3000; and that, from, the same, source of information we are decidedly of opinion that number must, in the course of one month, be in- creased to 5000 !" Sentence of death was passed on 13 men at Limerick, on the 22d inst.; . on eight for robbing the post- office at Shanagolden, and five for burglary in the house of Adam Millar, near Adare. The Morning Post says—" We can with the utmost confidence state, that the assertion in a Paper of Friday, of his Majesty's being in " an exceedingly delicate state of health," is totally void of foundation. His Majesty, the public will be rejoiced with us to hear, has not enjoyed better health and spirits for the last twenty years tl| an he possesses at present." DEATH or Sir ISAAC HEARD.— We regret to announce the decease of Sir I. Heard, Garter Principal King of Arms, which took place at the Heralds' College yesterday morn- ing, at a quarter past one o'clock. He was in the 92d year of his age, and had filled the distinguished office of Garter since' April, 1784. Notice has been given by the Lord Chamberlain, that several persons having appeared improperly dressed at the late Drawing- Room, none will in future be admitted ufi- . « in full Court dress, with sword and bag. The present number of English Catholic Peers is seven viz. the Duke of, Norfolk, Earl of Shrewsbury, Lords Stourton, Petre, Arundel, Dormer, and Clifford. Eight Irish— Earls of Fingall and Kenmare ; Viscounts Gor- manston, Netterville, Taaffe, and Southwell ; Lords Trim- leston and Ffrench. Two Scotch— Earls of Newburgh and Traquair. In all seventeen. The following is the correct version of the circumstance stated in the Paris Papers last week : Lord Byron and four other Englishmen retaining on horseback to Pisa, on 21th t,' March last; a sergeant- major of dragoons rudely forced himself through them, at full speed, so as to endanger their safety. Remonstrance with him led to abuse and his Lordshin's servant following the dragoon among the people the, dragoon got wounded. The Englishmen were grossly insulted, and his Lordship's servant was put under arrest. The whole affair is under investigation at Pisa. Mr. Canning has accepted the invitation to dine with lis Constituents previously to his departure for India. It las been determined also to present him with a piece of plate, for which .500/. have been already subscribed. Mr. Owen, of. Lanar- k,, is, preparing the details of pract- ical measures, which are said to be likely- to meet the con- currence of all parties, for the relief of the Irish peasantry and the agricultural'poor of this'country, and he expects soon to have . tbem jeady. td submit to Government. Air. Owen calculates that the labour of 400 millions of work- men would he- required to produce the British goods of all lorts now manufactured by machinery.' Petitions' to both Houses of Parliament are in course of ignature at Bath, praying the Legislature to Tax the Pro icrty and Income of Absentees, and also to withhold tho ay of'all officers ofthe Army and Navy, as well as of all ' ensioners, Placemen, and public Annuitants, not resident / ithin the kingdom. Mr. Lushington has announced, that a Bill will be passed i permit the sale of Roasted Grain, under such regulations i would secui- e- the Revenue and the public from the irau- ulent adulteration of coffee. The tea- dealers of Bideford, Torrington, Okeh . mptou outhmolton," and Barnstaple, have resolved to petition the ' oard of Excise for further protection, and to put rigorous- • in force the existing laws against the hawking of teas.

The Dumfries Courier mentions the departure of two vessels with, emigrants for America, from that place,, on Sunday and Wednesday last; and observes, " In the pre- sent groupe of 263 souls, there are very few tradesmen ; by far the greater number have been bred as farmers, and farm servants, and some of tbem possess considerable pro- perty. One economical veteran, who wears ' a sark scarcely gude eneugh for a linseed bag,' carries out with him 1,200/. in sovereigns, and there are numbers that can muster 501. 601. 7.0/. and 100/. sterling." Wright, the pedestrian", completed his task of walking 1000 miles in 1000 hours, on Wednesday last, at twelve o'clock. To prevent the possibility of dispute, he walked a mile in the succeeding hour. An officer of the 7th Dra- goons won 4001, on the occasion, out of which he has pre- sented the pedestrian with 50/. Wright walked his last mile in nine minutes. Capt. B. ( the officer before alluded to,) has just offered a bonus of 100 guineas to any person who will bet 1000, that Wright does not perform the same task again, and to start, immediately.— Hull Advertiser.

Master Charles and Master George Grimshaw, sons to N. Grim- shaw, Esq. Mayor of the Borough; Master Henry Hul- ton, son to Henry Hulton, Esq. the County Treasurer; and Master Joseph Kay, son of Mr. Kay, the proprietor of Knox Folly Cotton Mills, were plying their little boat on the river Ribble, near Pemwortham Bridge, when a sud- den gust of wind upset it, and they were all drowned. We extract the following from a provincial paper :— " Wanted, a Footman and Housemaid, who can neither write nor read writing. The advertiser is induced to make . this application through a newspaper, as he lias not been able to meet with such qualifications.; and having suffered much inconvenience from his letters, notes, and papers being inspected by his servants ; afterwards becoming the conversation of the servants' hall, and, in course, the whole village. No one need apply that has ever been at a writing school." Flax Mills, when first introduced, promised to be ex- tremely lucrative, but they soon became very ruinous; and about ten years ago might have been purchased for a sum extremely disproportionate to prime cost. For more than three years, however, they have been again the most profitable business- in Scotland; and great numbers are erecting in every part of the East Country. One of the proprietors is said to be at present realising at the rate of SO. OOpA a year from his establishments between Dundee and Aberdeen. The yarn spun at the mills is for the coarser sorts of linen ; but it may be expected that prp- gressive amendments in the machinery, will enable it by and by to produce materials for lawn. The Proprietors of Coal Mines in the vicinity of Edin- burgh have suffered greatly by the opening of the new canal from Glasgow. In one day, we understand, the price, of coals in Edinburgh fell from 15s. the cart load to 10s. The owners of many mines are no longer able to j obtain a remunerating price for tlieir coals, and as these i mines have fallen greatly in value, they complain of the j destruction of property occasioned by this circumstance, i and think that a duty ought to be imposed on West \ P( M1 nfvir nnol - ftw 4l>, vli* r, vntontifin nr » Ar » fno nvinpit^ lii !

The citizens of Edin- burgh, however, not so enlightened, perhaps on this sub- ject as they ought to be, are at a loss to understand how this cheapness, produced by the opening to them of more productive or more early- wrought mines, should be a de- struction cf property or a national loss. Wednesday night last, tlie Worcester mail coach, passing over Ealing Common, was met by two men on horseback, racing against each other, at full speed, one of whom ran between the leaders of the mail with such force as to break the reins, trace, and harness, also the pole of the coach; one of the leaders got clear and ran away, the others by kick- ing and plunging nearly upset the coach ; one of the wheel horses was seriously hurt.— The man whose imprudence caused the accident was thrown with such force on the groud that he appeared to be in a complete state of in sensibility ; and the horse he rode received much injury. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— On Wednesday last, the ,24th inst. as Mr. Sturdy, a supervisor of excise residing at Llanrwst, was proceeding . on the great road leading from Capel Curig to Bangor, on horseback, he was attacked by a single high- wayman, between the hours of 3 ar. d 4 o'clock in the day, about 9 miles frosi the former place, who demanded his money, and at the same time presenting a pistol to his breast, threatened imme- diate death if he refused. The latter, at such a time, and in such a place, felt unwilling to comply ; when the robber, impatient of de- lay, instantly fired," but providentially missing his direct aim at Mr. Sturdy's breast, the ball lodged in his arm. Although wounded and naturally agitated. Mr. S. still refused to surrender his property, when the sanguinary villain, determined to effect his purpose at every hazard, levelled his second pistol at Mr. Sturdy's head ; but Providence again interposed, and the ball passed through his hat without further injury ; upon which the ruffian then commenced a violent assault, and striking his victim oil the forehead with the butt end of his pistol, brought him senseless to the ground. Now it would appear that he changed his purpose, and was satisfied to substitute Mr. Sturdy's horse and saddle- bags, new saddle, & c. for the booty he expected to find on his person, and instantly mourn- ing the horse, rode off ill the direction of Capel Curig. Here, at the turnpike, the horse was recognized with a strange rider, and sus- picion was also excitcd by his refusing to stop, or pay toll. Shortly i after, one of the coaches brought intelligence of the robbery, and the hue and cry was raised in all directions; among others, the gate- keeper set off in chace, on foot, and actually ran 10 miles iti one hour and 10 minutes 1 lie then fortunately procured a po- ney, and, coming up with die robber, ( who had jaded his horse,) they travelled and chatted familiarly together for some distance, the former being afraid to attackJlis companion, knowing he had pistols, which, it afterwards appeared, had been re- charged. The gate- keeper also had the address, as they approached Denbigh, to permit the stranger to enter the town before him, aware that he • could not proceed farther that night, ( then past ten ;) and his vi- gilant and intrepid pursuer caught Ihe rogue, snugly seated at a good fire at the- Swan inn, and, with proper aid, had him secured without resistance. His name i9 Lewis Owens, a native of Den- bighshire, and had formerly been ostler at the Bull inn, in the same place. About nine years ago he was convicted of burglary ; and has since, it is suspected, led a very profligate life, in London and other parts of the kingdom. He was smartly dressed; his pistols were quite new, and screw- barrelled. The ball has been extracted from Mr. Sturdy's arm, and he is doing well. OLD BAILEY.— On Friday, Carlisle's shopman, who refused to disclose his name, was again brought up, and continu- ing contumacious, he was remanded back to prison. John Nightingale was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The defendant was an acquaintance of Painter, who last sessions was convicted of perjury, and sentenced to transportation. The perjury now charged against the defendant was, for swearing in a certain trial of Shields and Co. v. Russell, tiiat he was not present at the office of Messrs. Russell, on 22d of Dec. The action was brought by Messrs. Shields, bankers, at Plymouth, against M essrs. Russell, carriers, for the recovery of a parcel, value 1,360/. alleged to have been lost by the negligence of the carriers. Painter was the confidential porter of Sir John Perring, and was employed to take the parcel in question to Russell's waggon office. He is now on board tlie hulks. The evidence now adduced was precisely si- milar to that given on tiie trial of Painter, and has been fully re- ported. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The Recorder passed the following sentence:— That the defendant be imprisoned in Newgate for six months, and that ha then be transported for se- ven years. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS— Finished yesterday, when the Recorder requested that such of the capital convicts as had been convicted of burglary under aggravated circumstances, would ex- pect uo mercy on this side the grave ; nor could he, ( alluding to the case of Eleanor Shrieves, for setting fire to and robbing her master's house,) conceive mercy can be dealt out to one, whose wicked act not only endangered property but human life. Tie then proceeded to pass the awful sentence on Wm. Piesse, Wm. Bar- tholomew, John Close, Chas. Gray, Fras. Meadows, Geo. Smith, Mich. Donughu, John Yates, Henry Leonard, H. J. Naylor, G. Adams, Edw. Ward, John Anson, Wm. Tilley, Mat. Verney, S. Weedon, Thos. Alsey, Edw. Desmond, Jas. Davis, and Eleanor Shrieves. Many of them were deeply absorbed in grief, and the frenzy of Eleanor Shrieves particularly affected every one. Sen- tence on Desmond and Smith had been passed at tiie termination of their trial, for a burglary in Carey- street, making, with the above, a melancholy list of 21. These two misguided youths will, it is said, be executed in the vicinity of the spot where the depre- dation was committed.— Sixteen were sentenced to transportation for life, two for 14, and 45 for seven years,— 87 were ordered to various periods of imprisonment,' eight whipped 3nd discharged, i ' and ljf sentences respited. day of May next, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, for the pur- pose of determining on the propriety of removing the Turnpike House and Gate at the top of Frampton- Green, and of erecting a new one in a more convenient situation.

One of the Royal yachts proceeds to Ca- lais in a few days, for the purpose of conveying his Royal Highness and suite to Dover. The accounts from Ireland to- day, making every allow- ance for exaggeration, are of a most distressing character. In the counties of Kerry, Limerick, Galway, Mayo, and Clare, the peasantry are suffering under a deplorable want of food; and, to accumulate their sufferings, the typhus fever has made its appearance among them. It is some ' consolation/ however, to perceive, that the resident gentry, end the local authorities, are exerting themselves in every way that humanity can' suggest, for the relief of these un- fortunate beings, A Society fpr the Relief and Employment of the Poor of Ireland has beeh formed. At the head of it are several men of rank connected with that country, who have un- dertaken to promote a subscription, and to employ the first fruits of it in the purchase of potatoes. Subscrip- tions are. received by the bankers. yesterday there was a Meeting at the Bank of England. The matters submitted to the Proprietors were only the extension of the Charter for ten years, from 1833 to 18,43; the withdrawing the clause respectingsix partners in Bank- ing Establishments, ( except within 65 miles of London), antl the late loans to Government, mentioned by the Mar- quis of Londonderry in the House of Commons. The whole of the propositions met with the unanimous appro- bation of the Meeting. It Was distinctly mentioned that the Bank enjoyed the privilege of issuing one pound notes.

HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. Scarlett b ™ . 1R!. t in liis Bill to prevent the renwv » l ot ttie Poor. He stated that the immediate object of the Bill was to re- move the restraints on the free circulation of labour. All the ob- jections to the former Bill were excluded from this measure. He should be prepared to discuss it on the second reading.'— The bill was read a first time, andordered to be rsad a second titneon May 13. Mr. Martin ( of Galway) obtained leave to bring in a Bill to en^ able Criminals to have Counsel to plead for them. , PENSIONS The House in a Committee on Naval, Military, and other Pensions, the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought for- ward his proposed plan for the accomplishment of this object. He entered into details to show the value and bearings of his project, as set forth in thc Resolutions; and stated, that it was calculated that the extinction of the pensions would occupy a period of 45 years. Contractors to be found to receive for the whole of that period a fixed sum annually, say 2,000,000/. engaging to pay dur- ing the said 45 years the above list of pensions, amounting now to 5,000,000/. and gradually of course decreasing by deaths and casualties. Tims, after 10 years, those pensions, which were now 5,000,000'. would be three millions and a half; after 20 years, two millions and a quarter; after 30 years, one million and a quarter; after 40 yeairs, 544,487/.; slid after 45 years, 306,679/. It was also . considered that the operation of the proposed scheme • would be a great saving to the public ; and that it would also most usefully disembarrass the Finance Accounts, and Annual Estimates of the Country. He concluded, with moving the fol- lowing Resolutions:— RESOLVED— 1 That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the amount of Military and Naval Pensions, and Civil Superan-. nuations, may be estimated at about 5,000,000/. 2 That it is the opiniun Of this Committee, that this sum, cal- culated as an annuity guaranteed by Parliament, may be consi- dercd as a burfhen, forming a charge upon the public income of the country, for the lives of the annuitants, subject so such regu- lations as are applicable in each case. 3 That it is' the opinion of this Committee, that the amount of this charge has been increased, principally by the long duration and* cxtended exertions of the late war, from the sum of about 650,000/. to the said sum of 5,000,000/. 4— That it is the opinion of this Committee, that under this great accumulation of annual charge, and in the present state of ie country, it is expedient to make provision for apportioning this burthen so as to ensure its final extinction, either by an equal an- nual annuity, terminable within 45 years, or by permanent annui- ties, with such provision for the repayment thereof as is required by the Act 32 Geo. S. c. 58. 6 That it is fhe opinion of this Committee, that the Commis- sioners of his Majesty's Treasury should treat and contract ( sub- ject to the approbation Sf Parliament) with such bodies politic and corporate, or other persons, as mav be willing to undertake to pro- vide for thc chargeof the above- mentioned pensions and allowances, or any part thereof, in either of the above- modes; and whnsliallgive adequate security for the performance of sttch undertaking. Col. Davits felt strongly that the project was nothing more nor less than a covert attack upon the- Sinking Fund; it was relieving ourselves at the expence of posterity. ( Hear! hear! )— Lord Lon- donderry entered into a defence of the plan, contending that it wua a plan calculated to relieve the country to a certain extent at pre- sent, at the same time that, by preserving a Sinking Fund of 5,000,000/. at compound interest, wc should preserve public faith, and still keep in view the good of our posterity— ford Ebrbtgton considered this measure was an attack on. tbe Sinking Fund, but it would go to relieve the peopb from a portion of taxation, and therefore he hoped it would he carried still further next Session— Mr. Materia said, he thought that so excellent a system might advantageously be applied to the whole of the national debt. ( a laugh. f— Mr. Brougham entirely concurred in that assertion. And now it occurred to linn, there were many expcnces. of theGovern- msnt to which so admirable a system might clearly be made appli- cable. There was the Civil List, ( Heart hear!) the Pension List, ( Hear! heor I) those charges were annuities dependent on lives. What could be better than to farm thc pensioners off at once? ( Hear! / tear! andlaughter.) Nay, Ministers themselves might be provided for upon the same principle. ( Hear 1 hear!) Their tenure of place was almost equal to tenure for life. ( laugh- tcr.)~ Mr. Williams condemned in teto our finance system, and especially the measure of paying off the 5 per Cents, by which 7,000,00< li had been added to the public, debt., and the plan now proposed would have the effect of increasing it still further— Air. Bcneil and Mr, Monek supported the measure, as going to reduce taxation.— After tome observations from other Members, the Re- solutions were agreed to.—- Adjourned. THURSDAY.— Sir Thos. Lethbridge presented a Petition < from whence we could not hear,) complaining of Agricultural Distress and excessive Taxation. \ 11s said, that had the Petition- ers been acquainted with the plan of saving taxes to the amount of 1,800,090/". it would probably have prevented them as well as others, the trouble of addressing the House. He was arerse to the scheme relative to Foreign warehoused corn being ground, as • well as to the proposed plan, of encouraging Chartered Banks at • the distance of 05 miles trom London— Mr. Grenfell eXpessed his aversion to the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England. He hoped the House would prevent the progress of the negotia- tion for that renewal by ' timely interference.— Mr. Hume was of opinion, that thc Right Hon. Gent, the Chancellor of thc Exche- quer hail prematurely intermeddled with the extension of the Bank of England Charter The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, the country had suffered excessively from the imperfect security of Country Banks, and assured them, the only intended arrangement with the Bank, would be'submitted for the adoption or rejection of the Legislature; and trusted that much would be done to. ad- just the currency of the country on advantageous terms— Order- ed to lie on tbe table. Mr. Lockhart presented a Petition from certain individuals, eouiplaining of Agricultural Distress. The Petitioners particularly protested against the Resolutions of the Member for Portarlington; - which, they said, if adopted,, would prove ruinous to the Agricul- turist, though they were drawn up in terms to deceive the House jind the Country Mr. Ricardo defended his Resolutions, and the calculations upon which they were founded ; he deuied that he had any intention of misleading or deceiving the country hy these Re- solutions, or that tliey would bear such a construction— The Pe- tition was received. JOINT POSTMASTERS.— Lord Normanby, pursuant..! ® notice, moved an Address to the Throne, praying that his Majesty, would be graciously pleased to direct the office of one of the Joint Post- masters- General to be abolished. His Lordship prefaced the mo- tion by recapitulating several of the grounds on which he sought, at an earlier period of the Session, to attain, by nearly similar means, his present object. He besides stated, that the strong ex- pression of public feeling throughout the country against the con- itinuanca of two Postmasters- General, since lie last addressed the House on this subject, had much influence in determining him to bring it a second time under the consideration of the House— A- mongthe Members who supported the motion, were Mr. Bankes, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. Stuart Wortley, ( the latter, mi. a for- mer occasion, had opposed the abolition.)— Sir J. Sebright said, the language which he had heard had done more to degrade that House than any thing he hid ever witnessed in it. It was lament- able to hear, that Some of thc highest Peers of the realm must be paid 2000/. a year to induce them to do their duty to their King. and country. Mr. Wilberforce also said, that the question, from the mode of treating it, had acquired a degree of importance much ' iihove what it originally possessed. Was not the conferring an of- fice upon any individual done for the purpose that he might vote always with the Government ? • At the present time the Constitu- tion was attacked, under the pretence of attacking the House of ' Commons. It behoved that House, therefore, to he extremely careful of. its character, and to employ all legitimate means to con ciliate the public mind, f Hear l)~. Sir F. Blake said, though much had. be « n done, more still remained undone. It was his real opinion, that the Member for Montrose had done more good than all hie Majesty's Ministers put together.

At. the same time, whatever might be his private opinion, did lie think that the motion had a tendency to displace the present Administration, he should vote against it. He called on the Member for Yorkshire to rally his dismayed faculties: and, if he would accept of him for his second, lit would carry him through with triumph.—•( Laughter,)— The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Huskisson, and the Marquis of Londonderry, argued against the propriety of the motion*— After a long discussion, the House divided, when the numbers wefe— Ajcsalfi— Noes 201— leaving a majority of lSj for the abolishing' cf UK of one of the.

DUEL IN HIGH LIFE.- We are authorised to state, that a meeting took place yesteiay morning, between the tlukes of Bedford and Buckingham, accompanied by Lord Lynedoch and Sir W. Williams Wynn, i: consequence of words used by the for- mer at the Bedfordshire County Meeting. Both parties fired to- gether, at the distance of welve par. es, on a word given, but with- out effect, when the Duke of Buckingham observing that the Duke Of Bedford tired into thoair, advanced to liis Grace, and remark- ing, that for that reason the thing could go no further, said, " My Lord Duke, you are the list man I wish to quarrel with; but you Must be aware that a public man's life is not worth preserving, unless with honour." Upon w] jicli the Duke of Bedford declared, " Upon his honour, that lie nieSpt no personal offence to the Duke of Buckingham, nor to impute to him tiny bad or corrupt motive whatever." The parties then shook hands, and the whole busi- ness was terminated most satisfactorily. The True Briton States the observation made by tile Duke of Bedford, which gave rise to the meeting, to be " that he had heard of a Sheffield Duke of Buck- ingham, but now we had a Birmingham Duke of Buckingham. The latter wrote to desire a disavowal or apology for it, but either alternative was declined. ANOTHER MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.— Tuesday ac- counts were received at the Admiralty of the loss of the Confiance Sloop of war, of 18 guns, Capt. W. T. Morgan, off the western Coast of Ireland, when, ( of a crew of 120) every soul on board perished. The Confiance had not been long on that station, and was lost in the dreadful night of the 21st ult. . She sailed from Cove on Sunday morning in company with the Gannct, the former for. the Galway station, the latter on a cruize, in search of a smuggler. Tbe wea- ther came on excessively hard, until at length it blew a tremendous gale. The Gannett put into Kinsale, and the Confiance kept the sea. On Monday morning before day, shots were heard by the people residing near Mizenhead, on the S. W. coast: but when the day broke,' and the people came down to the coast, there was nothing to be seen except the gilt figure- head of a vessel, believed to be that of the Confiance. In some time after, the bodies ot four marines were, washed ashore; and in endeavouring to pick up some pieces of the wreck, which were driven in among thc rocks, four of the .' Country people were drowned. . Capt. Morgan was First Lieutenant of the Endymion, when that, vessel captured tl try MINERALOGICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF THE County of Monmouth, By H. and C. G.

Yes- terday, the Chief Justice, and the other 1 . earned Judges, after de- livering their opinions seriatim, refused the application to grant a new trial.

RIOTS IN MONMOUTHSHIRE - The system Of lawless violence detailed in our last, as having been adopted by the la- bourers connected with the immense iron- works in, this county, has by no means diminished during the, week. .4 requisition, signed most respectably, for a County Meeting, to take into consi- deration the distressed and disturbed state of the county, appears in this paper, and the, High Sheriff, has appointed, a meeting to be held at Usk on Friday next. The deluded individuals form themselves into immense bodies, and, in the presence even of the military, . proceed to break up the roads; and to adopt every spe- cies of annoyance which the, peculiar nature of the country puts at their disposal. On Thursday last they were in open contest witli the military; the Riot Act was read, and we fear several wounds inflicted. ' . ;...'„ ,,., It seems tiiat arrangements were made for conveying some wag- gons of coal from the Crwmlin Wharf at the head of tbe Mon- mouthshire Canal to the iron- works of Messrs. Harford and- Co. at Ebbw Vale, 10 miles higher up the country. The Chepstow Cavalry, under the command of Captain Buckle, were at Crwmlin by eight o'clock, accompanied by several of the neighbouring Ma- gistrates ; and the Scots Greys were sent for from Abergavenny, Great contention had taken place about loading the waggons. It, was then decided that a party of the cavalry, under the command of Lieut, Wells, of Piercefield, should form a kind of advanced guard, and should precede the main body about a mile, to prevent the breaking up the roads. •'.,'; The road in tins part winds along a narrow valley, wifli an im- mense mountain almost perpendicular on the right hand, at tbe foot of which runs the l iver on the left. The detachment had hardly proceeded three quarters of a mile when a most furious attack was made upon it from the sides of the hill on the right, down which immense stones and fragments of ' rock were hurled with great vio- lence. The bugle was immediately sounded for assistance, and the party halted ; but not having) any proper means of defence at hand against this species of assault, a retreat was sounded : having retired about 150 yards, it took up a less exposed station, till it was joined by the whole corps. The Riot Act was then read by the Rev. J. H. Davies, but produced no effect, and the impracticabi- lity of proceeding without a greater and different species of force became evident; the number of the assailants continually increased, many of whom concealed themselves in the thicket v.- ith which the hill was for the most part covered. After waiting three hours, the Scots Greys made their appearance at the top of the very high hill in rear of the rioters, and under tlie admirable directions of Lieut. Lloyd, the woods and quarries were completely cleared. At Larnithdell, however, about two miles above, the mob came down, having obstructed the convoy by. tearing, up the roads and running several waggons across them. They made a desperate attack on this part of the convoy, and a most confused scene of riot and disorder ensued, and Mr. Frere, the Magistrate was knocked rtff his horse. The Greys fired a volley over tile heads of the ri- oters. but chiefly used their swords," and several wounds were in- flicted ; but great credit is due for their forbearance. The convoy was at length able to proceed, but slowly, the road being, torn up in fifty places; and large pieces of timber being thrown across be- fore the advanced guard could . prevent it. When they had pro- ceeded about three miles further, another regular attack was made by pouring down torrents of stones from the steep hill on the right. Half the Greys were ordered to dismount, and with Lieut. Lloyd, who gallantly shared the fatigue with his men, at their head scaled the heights. The mob came firmly and resolutely down, facing the troops, and rolling down immense fragments of rock amongst them ; a sort of engagement ensued ; but the assailants, being unprovided with fire- arms, fled on the first voiley't'rom. the soldiers. One man fell, and several were wounded, but. from the nature of the country they were borne away by their comrades. We have not learnt the result of the day's proceedings, after the rioters were thus dispersed; but we do not expect they could again rally, as. the. country on the right became more open, and the con- voy was sufficiently protected by tlib river on the left. We have been favoured with the following more recent account, by a Correspondent in another District— On Thursday last, tiie Scotch Greys marched from Abergavenny to Ebbw- Vale, in older to co- operate with the Chepstow Yeomanry, who marched from Usk to Crwmlin- bridge, to escort a number of coal waggons from the Cwm Collieries to the Iron - Works of Messrs. Harford, and Co, at Pen- y- Caer. Soon after the arrival of the Greys, intelli- gence was. brought by Mr. Moggridge, junior, that the colliers had occupied a cliff covered with underwood, in which they concealed themselves, covering a- ravine through which the rail- road passed, and whence they rolled down masses of rock on the road below! The Greys immediately left Ebbw, and ascending the mountain to the left, about two miles from the spot where the colliers were posted, made a circuit of three miles to get in their, rear ; ar. d they were, dislodged by a party of dismounted Greys, acting. as Carbineers, under Lieutenant Lloyd. The wag- gons then passed the defile; but, at a narrow pass near the foundry, were again obstructed by an immense multitude, by whom the Magistrates were assailed with stones and brick- bats, and where the Greys were obliged to have recourse to their fire- arms to disperse the rioters, which was done without very serious injury, some few of the rioters having been wounded ; and Mr. Frere, one of , the Magistrates, here received some severe blows, from tile bludgeon of a ruffian, whilst stooping down to hitch a- horse to a tram- waggon. The dispersed rioters again assembled about two miles off, on the edge of a hill; from whence, after a brisk firing, they were again dislodged ; and here, it is imagined, several rioters were wounded. From this spot; Lieutenant Lloyd marched for three miles along the summit of the hills, and pro- tected t'ne convoy, which reached Ebbw Vale in safety soon after nine o'clock. The Chepstow Cavalry were on horseback from six in the morning till nine at night; and the Greys did not reach their quarters at Abergavenny, which they left at. seven in the morning, till half past one on Friday morning — We have, how- ever, much pleasure in stating, that a general expectation is enter- tained that the greater part of the misguided men intend returning to their work on Monday, ( this day.) THE STAFFORDSHirE COLLIERS.— IT is our unpleasant duty to state, that this town and neighbourhood continue in an un- settled state, from great numbers of tile, colliers still refusing to return to their work; and their apparent determination is to pre- vent Others from doing so. On Monday evening many hundreds were collected together at Mr. J. T. Fereday's Monmore Green Colliery, for the purpose, as it was reported, of ducking those men who had been at work, upon their coming up from the pits; when, we hear, it was deemed necessary to call out a military and civil force from Bilston for their protection; one or two shots were fired, and a man named Roberts, we regret to state, was severely, if not mortally Wounded. The Magistrates were treated disrepectfullly; and two of the ringleaders were committed to Stafford gaol. FIRES.— About nine o'clock, Tuesday night, an alarming fire broke out in the tan- yard of Mr, Were, Bedminster, Bristol, and raged with considerable fury, destroying an extensive ware- house and drying shed, a quantity of bark, hides, & e. with two valuable horses in a stable adjoining. But for the promptitude and judicious management of the engines, the adjacent houses must inevitably have been consumed by the devouring element. Same evening, about six o'clock, an alarming fire was discovered in the farm- yard of Mr. Toovey, of Brightwell, near Wallingford, Berks, which raged with great fury, until the whole of the build- ings, together with eight wheat ricks, several bean and straw ricks, barns, stables, & c, were consumed. Providentially the horses and pigs were saved from the devouring element; and we are happy to hear that the property, which is supposed to be worth between 2 and 3000/. was insured It is conjectured that the fire vtas oc- casioned by some vile incendiary. INQUESTS— Lately taken before W. Joyner Ellis, Esq. one " of the. Coroners for this county : At Milkwall, in the Forest of- Dean,, on view of the body of Jane Y'oung, aged three years, burnt to death by her clothes taking fire in the absence of her pa- rents— At Clearwell, on the body of James Jones, chaise- driver, aged 29, who fell off the bar of a chaise, on his return home to Monmouth, from Beachley Passage House, and thereby received a violent concussion of the brain, of which he died— At Coleford, on the body of Wm.

The pungent Letter signed " An Old Forrester,'' is inadmissible upon anonymous authority; and Indeed, would prove offesive under, any sanc- tion.— We can assure our Correspondent, that it was far from ovr wish- to " Paganize the inhabitants of the Forest:" - we merely gave publicity to the article af which he complains so heavily, and had no hand whatever in its composition. ' . GLOuCESTER INFIRMARY.— Number of Patients in the Bouse: Sisa K— Beds ? 2.' 1! Women 27,— Beds 43, The importance of ail Institution lite this, increases with the rapid progress of education: for expeience shews, that, the cir- culation of Tracts is a most powerful etgine of good or evil, ac- cordin; powerful agine to the character they bear. . At the most awful period of the reignof our late beloved Snve- tinguish'ed Authoress, from whose pen tie tracts here referred to proceeded, no returns of gratitude can fnily compensate; . but her name will long remain dearto the real lover of his cfidntry; and the. friend of Religion will cherish Kei mimory,. when, she, shall be gathered to lier fathers, and her spirit rests with " the spirits of just men made perfect." 1 On the other hand, the mischievous effects nf seditiods r. nd in- fidel productions, lately sent forth from the press, are too notorious to have escaped observation. To their instrumentality, there is much reason to believe the present distressed and disorganized condition of some districts of the Sister Kingdom may in great measure be attributed. The children of darkness, who desire evil and abhor that which is good; are unwearied in the employment of the press; and the probability of their success ia proportioned to the siibtilty and se- crecy with which their plans are- conducted. Journals and pamph- lets, of a size and price adapted to the poorest classes, and calcu- lated to promote disorder, impiety, and every kind of evil, issue forth continually, and are thrust intft circulation by; every iiracti. cable lhethod; and it is hot possible by any powers of calculation, to determine where this pestilen'e" will stop. , The children of light, and tiie lovers of that only " name linder heaven given among men whereby we must be saved," cannot r6- nfain inactive,- whilst the, great enemy of mankind is thus, labo- riously extending his machinations on every side.. At a period when,. the great body of the nation are receiving education, and ac- quiring the habit of judging for themselves, it becomes a question indescribably momentous, How shall the rising generation be preserved from the contamination of evil principles, and by what method is a steady and uniform adherence to Christian doctrine, and Christian conduct,- most successfully to be promoted ? With- out • attempting to offer any sufficient reply to this enquiry, one thing is beyond doubt, that solemn obligation lies on Christians " to entertain a special regard fotjhs r' 4tgioUo., iot « » « ' » w- of poor, and to take what care we can that the Guspel be still preached to them." ( Bishop Hartley's Sermons, vol. 1, page 212,;) The State of the times, moreover, urges oil all members of the Church af England, by considerations of- unusual moment, the imperious duty of maintaining by every proper means, and by continued ex- ertions, the cause or'Trtttlrin its purest form, and of preserving to the Church,- by - personal sacrifices aid personal labours, that high character which she justly holds in Christendom. With these prefatory remarks, and repeating briefly the object of this Institution, viz. to circulate in Tracts, " the Homilies, the lives of the Reformers and Martyrs, with extracts from their writ- ings, and from the'publications of their Bishops— tile Cheap Re- pository Tracts, and other publications of the Bristol Society— and such other Tracts as shall be approved by the Committee, af- ter due examination, and received the sanction of the Bishop;" your Committee will proceed- to-. gifs a summary account of the proceedings of the first year. Much delay was occasioned at the commencement by the ne- cessary examination of Tracts submitted to the- Committee, of which twenty. two have been admitted on the list, after the proper sanction was obtained. The rules and regulations were printed shortly afterwards, and put into circulation. A very short ad- dress appended thereto, recommends Parochial Associations, un- der the superintendance of the Officiating Minister ; and in con- formity to the 9t. h Rule of the Durham Church of England Tract Society, it appeared desirable to . appoint a Dep. it of Tracts, for sale in the vestry, of every parish in union. Several events which could not be foreseen, contributed to'retard the proper arrangement of Tracts at the Depository j , aiffi consequently to lessen their sale. For the last few months," tlioy* have been ready for circulation, and about one thousand have been sold. No impediment, it is expected, will arise in future tb prevent their free circulation. The funds have amounted in the whole year to £ 35 1 ts. Jid. The Reports of various Tract Institutions contain many wrii- attested facts, shewing how much positive- good lias bean effected by them ; two or three of which, respecting the Bristol Tracts, it appears ex- pedient to notice by way of encouragement. The character of these Tracts, as given by the present hord Bi- shop of Bristol, President of the Bristol Society, is too important to be omitted : " The few which I have perused," says his Lord- ship, " appear to me admirably calculated to diffuse a spirit of piety, throughout the country, and to excite a feeling of warm at- tachment to the Church of England." Extract from tlife Letter of a'Clergyman : " About four months ago, I put one ort'wd of'the Tract's '" On tbe Warning'before the Communion," ( No. 14,) into every pew of my Church on a Sun- day on which I had to give notice of the celebration of the Lord's Supper. This was done before tlie congregation assembled. On the following Sunday, the number of communicants was larger than it had ever been before, and it has been increasing ever since." Extract from the Fifth Report of the Church of England. Tract Society for Sheffield: "" At our last: anniversary, many Tracts were given away at the doors after the Meeting, at the suggestion- of a friend. Amongst them was a. copy. of. No. 9, entitled -'.'- A Practical Discourse on the Exhortation to the Communion Service," published by the Bristol Society, which fell into the hands of a young man who resided in" a neighbouring, village,. lie took it home, and haviiigTead it with advantage to himself, he handed it about to a number of families, both in that and an adjoining vil- lage. To some he read it, and such as were able read it them- selves. The result was, tiiat four persons were aroused to a more serious concern about the welfare of their souls. They resolved, through Divine grace, to become partakers of the Holy Commu- nion. They did so, and continue to this day to be regular commu- nicants atth. e. TabJ^ of the Lord. The young man further states, that' he' has good reason to believe the same Tract was useful to many others who read it." Encouraged by these, and numerous other instances of success, depending on the promise of God to bless all efforts directed to His Glory, and supplicating his continual guidance, ytiur Com- mittee will bring to a close this brief Report, by recommending to the'eonsideration of this Meeting some measures which appear ne- cessary to give full ef& ct'to this' Institution. The first of these is the expediency of obtaining the co- opera- tiyns of persons who are unable to offer the full subscription of ltalf- a- guinea, by institutitig Subscribers of half that amount, Members of the Society. Another measure the Committee strongly recommend, is the employment of hawkers and beggars in circulating Tracts by means of tickets. " The tickets are of two sorts, one 5s. per dozen', the i'other 3j. per dozen. A ticket. Of the former description, given to a beggar or hawker, entitles the bearer to receive at the Depository, Tracts to the value of 1, » .; and one of the latter, Tracts to the va- lue of 6d. ( These Tracts- he sells again.) This plan comprehends many advantages. The Society is benefited by the increased sale and wider circulation of its Tracts. The individual who receives a ticket is furnished with a means of supplying his bodily wants, and that in a way which may be useful both to himself and others in the highest possible degree."— Brislol, 3d Report. By the constant use of all judicious means, with perseverance and patience, and waiting in prayer for the refreshing showers of Divine grace- to make- this seed fruitful, your labours cannot prove unproductive. " As the husbandman.: waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hajblong jmtiencrffor it until he receive the early arid the latter rain, so let us wait, for the harvest of our la- bours;" " for in due season we shall reap if we faint not."— Should the diminutiveness of a Tract s. uggcst any doubt of its effi- cacy, let it be considered that the weakness of the instrument is no obstacle whatever. " For God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound" the things which are mighty ; and base things of the world, and tilings- which are despised, hath God chosen ; yea, and things which ate not, to bring to nought things which are; that 110 flesh should.- glory in His Presence." Let your Tracts have a wider circulation : Wherever they go, they convey die joy fullest tidings that. ever came from Heaven to sinful man. Of however lowly a character your exertions may appear to human judgment, God will not forget any work or la- bour that proceedeth of love, but by I- IiS heavenly blessing will make them in many instances effectual,, like the leaves of the tree of life for the healing of the nations." 11 To the HIGH SHERIFF of the COUNTY of MONMOUTH, ".,,. WE, the Undersigned, do. request that you will, at vour earliest convenience, call a MEETlNG of. the OWNERS and OCCUPIERS of LAND in the COUNTY of MONMOUTH, at the Town Hall, in Usk, for the purpose of taking into conside- ration the present Distressed and Disturbed State of'the County, and for adopting such legal pleasures for relief, as to such Meeting may ' ieem good.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND— Sir O'Brien was anxious to bring before the House the State of the County of Clare. The Marquis of Londonderry wished the Hon. Baronet would not take advantage of the absence of the Secretary for Ireland • ( Cries of Go. on I go on I ) Sir E. O'Brien again rose When the House knew that many persons in the county which he represented were living on warm meal and ale, or on meal and water- cresses, it would see that this was a subject which could not be delayed !• The potatoe crop had failed, and nothing but. Parliamentary relief would remedy the evil. In this state were the whole nearly of the provinces of Mun- ster and Connaught. If Lancashire, Warwickshire, or Staffordshire, were in this state, they would not hesitate to yield them relief. Yet there were a million and a half of people without food, without money, and without resources; and no disposition to afford them relief. It might be true that there was plenty of cornin the coun- try, but what was the use of that if poor people had no money to buy it. He put this for the Consideration of Government and the absentee landlords from Ireland. He had visited the poor people's cabins in Ireland, and had found on examining their stock of pro- visions, that if they had potatoes enough for seed, it was all they had, without any for the support of their families. He wished Ministers to enquire into these facts, and to take no more of them than they found proved. Under these circumstances it was not strange that depredations had taken place; or that men were glad to give up their leases. Hundreds of persons would be glad to go to gaol, if they could carry their families with them. The longer enquiry was refused or delayed, as regarded such evils as these, the difficulty of finding a remedy would be the greater. He was most anxious that this subject should be fully known to the people of Great Britain. They who had extended their charity to all quar- ters of the world, would not refuse it to their suffering fellow coun- trymen who had borne the dangers of the late war, and had bravely fought their battles. Mr. Goulbourn, ( who had just entered the House,) declared himself unprepared to state the views of the Irish Government 011 this subject at present. He appealed to the Hon. Baronet whether he did not know that, the Irish Government was engaged in this important enquiry ; but for him to state what the views of the Go- vernment as to food, were, would be to increase the evil rather than diminish it. The calculation as to the sum necessary for a supply of food to the county of Clare alone, amounted to 400,000/. This would be enormous. The crops of potatoes had not altogether failed; and, until the last four days, the price of oatmeal was 12s. or 13J. per cwt. which was lower than for years before. lie quite agreed that this distress must increase disorder, and dissatisfaction; but the Government of Ireland could not take upon itself the charge of supporting the whole population of Ireland. Sir E. O' Brien had not made the slightest charge on the Govern- ment of Ireland, llis object was to have a loan from Parliament on the County Rates. The House resolved itself into a Committee for the further con- sideration of the Report ofthe Agricultural Committee. PLAN FOR THE RELIEF OF THE AGRICULTURAL INTER- EST.— LOrd Londonderry brought forward the subject of Agri- cultural Distress, and Agricultural Relief. He commenced with a cheering account, that all trade and manufactures were flourish- ing, notwithstanding tbe depression of Agriculture; and he aver- red, that in the three weeks since the closing of the accounts of lust quarter's revenue, there had been a regular and steady increase of 90,000?. per week' in the revenue of the country. ' This led him to think still that the distress arose mainly out of causes to Agricul- ture, beyond the reach of Legislative remedy. His opinion then, and now was, that the best remedy was, to wait until they could see capital flow into its proper and regular channels. With this view he would recall the attention of the House to his former pro- posal of advances to Agriculture without danger to the commerce and credit of the. country. He had stated that no advances could be made on tile security of individtial farmers, but that it might be done on. the security of Poor Rates. This, however, he foresaw might meet with opposition ; and he had wished it to stand over. He now could assure the House, that no such measure was to be proposed by Government. The Committee had proposed some advances to be made on the warehousing of British corn. This did not seem to be very different? from advances 011 Exchequer bills; and though he did not vote for this measure ia the Com- mittee, yet lie should propose it to the House, because it was the one which the farmers looked forward to as the only true measure for their relief. This would require about one million; and if the House did not, agree to it, the farmers would still think that it was • the only measure which could have relieved them, but that the House had turned a deaf ear to their wants. There was also ano- ther advance intended for the relief of Ireland, which would- re- quire about one million more, and another million for public works. If this was agreed to, the Bank would be wished to advance four millions at all interest of three per cent. This was wished to fall into the general currency of the country. The Bank had very li- berally already made an advance of the money for paying off the dissentients of the Five per Cents, at the low late of tlwee per cent. This, of course, would fall into arculation also. For some time past the Private or Country Bankers had been contracting their is- sues, for fear of a crisis at the expiration of their Bill. lie thought the House Would go along with'Government, that it was more prudent to extend the Bill for continuance of Country Banks to the year 1833; for he was sure that they were suffering under the pressure of hoarding gold to arrive at the metallic currency of the Bank ; and what would be the consequence if we were to provide gold for all the small notes in the country, with the increased cir- culation which the new issues he had mentioned would force on the country ? This would be, in fact, forcing a gold circulation against the taste of the country. In this view, it would be necessary that the Country Bankers should be considered as having failed, if they were ready to pay their own notes ill those of the Bank of Eng- land. For this purpose, it was necessary to have a relaxation of the Bank Charter, so as to allow more than six partners in any Private Bank; and that the. Bank of England should give up its monopoly beyond 05 miles from London. This would assimilate them to the Banks in Scotland, which had only three chartered Banks. 11 was intended that the Private Bankers should he liable to sue and be sued. The circulation of Scotland had been carried on in a most regular manner for the last 120 year- s ;• and it was only the other day that he had heard of the miracle of a Scotch Bank having failed ! He now wished to shew the House what had been, done as to financial measures, to carry these matters into ef- fect. The reductions of the present year having amounted" to two millions, and there being a surplus ci more than five millions, the Government determined to regard the latter sum as a pledge to the public creditor.— On the faith of this, the Government allowed his Right Hon. Friend to propose to Parliament to extend the Char- ter of the Bank for teriyears longer, and to embark in one. of the most gigantic measures of finance, by proposing the paying off 150 millions of the National Debt. Nothing, could shew more, the endless resources of the country, and the character of the Govern- ment as supported by Parliament. By this measure, they had got rid of a great mass of their debt, and relieved the country to the amount of 1,300,000/. This shewed that a reduction of the in- terest of the debt was easily to be calculated upon. There was now a dead cxpence on the Army, Navy, Ordnance, & c. on the lives ofthe parties, amounting to five millions a- year., This was a debt on the gratitude of the country; but it gave the public a notion that our expenditure was 17 instead of 12 millions. This debt • arose out of a war, which he hoped never to see the like of again ; because, in . common sense, England could not be supposed to carry on such another ! But this was a debt which he thought Parlia- ment might deal with in a fair and equitable manner. The na- ture of the burden he alluded to was an annuity granted by Act of Parliament, beginning at five millions, to be carried as far as 70 years ; though, towards the end, tile payments would be small. He would not wish to alter the situation of the annuitants with respect to Parliament or the Crown ; and therefore the measure lis had to suggest war, strictly a financial measure. The number of years was 45, at which the price of these payments of annuities should be fixed. If tile { louse should grant an annuity of from two to three millions for 45 years, the ultimate effect would be a saving of 2,200,000/. For the first IS years, it would be a great saving to the country; in the 16th year, it would be a balanced question ; and for the rest of the 45 years, it would bo highly ad- vantageous to the Contractors. Unless the Sinking Fund was placed at compound interest, the law 011 the subject would be im- perfectly executed.' Ia ten years the fund, at compound interest, would amount to one per cent, on the capital of the debt, and would place, at the end of the. tenth year, 230,000/. yearly at the disposal of Parliament. A sum ultimately of 2,200,000/. would be placed at the disposal of Parliament. At the close of ten years, the Sinking Fund will have attained its : Sinking Fund will have attained its maximum, and will cover all the expenccs. In the mean time, a sum of 200,000/. to 300,000/. would cover the growing expence, and 1,000,000/. might he taken eff in taxes. He would not take upon himself to state what taxes should be taken off. Including. the repeal of the Horse Tax and the Malt Tax, the present sum of 1,800,000/. would make a dimi- nution of taxes . to the amount'of 3,700,000/. and that without any violation 0/ public credit. It might-. be a doubt if the present was a proper time to bring the Agricultural Question before the House, particularly it", the Committee had given 110 instructions to their Chairman. But he never meant to devolve the subject on the Com- mittee, or to shrink from Ministerial responsibility. lie, believed the public mind was as well prepared now as at any future time, to discuss the " question. Ho had said, that there were circum- stances in the corn law that threatened much mischief, and, the present was the proper tittle for inquiry, when there were 110 con- flicting interests to adjust. He thought, that in the present Ses- sion, a Bill plight be passed to protect the country. If it great supply came into the country of foreign corn, the ronsequences would, for a course of years,- be most ruinous for the agriculture of the cnuntry. He would take a bet, ( a laugh J that the ports would not be npencil this or the next year, nor perhaps the year following. Thequestion was one of quantum of duty, and liewas di posed to adopt any, rather than allow the dreadful visitation from the influx of foreign corn. He believed, that alryostall were agreed not to live under the present lav/. On'this question there were two classes; one in favour of a duty from 10s. to 20s.; and another who wa&. iil favour of the uutv from 20*. to 40. v. At pre- sent th pre was a glut of corn idl over Europe; and the I legislature must look to the peculiar circumstances of the case. It must be considered that a great e'xpence oWoom-.' 10i.- ttrlfo. the quarter innst be incurred before tiiem: iTwtis imported into the country, and a duty of 40s. in addition to other" expaiccs, would operate as a prohibition. It was delusion, to think that corn could afford a remunerative price, at that rat; e. . For the last seven years. the. pnee ' in the market of- Dantzic, though their ports . were shut, had Wen 41s. He had suggested a duty- iii'T7i'. He understood that his Right Hon. Friend intended to move a duty of ltis—• Oneivould suppose, from the- language of the Petitions to the House, that ceive 43J. a mssrter for his cm. Formerly, when the duty had beefl'only 23,. it had operatedis a prohibition on the importation of foreign corn. He did not ibeve that there were many obsta- cles to- a complete concurrent on this point. His Right Hon. Friend was inclined to lix, il the first instance, upon 00s. as the import price. Whatever mfcht be his own private opinion, lie wished to defer to the opiniol of the majority of the Committee. The propositions he had to submit were in the shape of Resolu- tions :—- The first was to au/ iorize the advance of one million 011 British corn now warehouse. The second was to authorize the grinding of foreign corn nols warehoused in this country, with the view to its being afterwards sported, care being taken that it should not be consumed in this comtry. The third was to alter the exist- ing corn laws, so far as they ( elated to the amount ofthe importation duty ; substituting new dtties for the old ones. The ports under the proposed alteration wotld be opened at 80s. and would remain open at and above 70s. At the present moment, he imaerstood there was a verv large mass of corn ill warehouses, as much he be- lieved as 300,000 quarters, of which between (> and / 00,000 were of wheat. . When the ports should be open, the whole of this would come into the market without any duty whatever. Parliament had the right as well as the power to impose duties prospectively — that is to say, upon corn to be imported : but it could not with- out a breach of national faith, impose a duty upon the corn now in warehouse. It Was better to let in the limitted quantity, as the influx would then be less without. He had now. stated every thing necessary, except the course of proceeding, It was impossible that the Resolutions could be discussed that night; but the House would go into the Committee on Friday— Hear I hear! Mr. Western said, he expected some propositions 111 accordance with the Agricultural Committee; fie was therefore disappointed, and augured no benefit from the advance of Exchequer Bills, which might partially and temporarily raise the price of corn. Ul- timately. however, he was persuaded it would be. the means of lowering the price. He objected to the advancing of public mo- ney to excite or encourage speculation ; and the advance in ques- tion, he believed, would have this effect even under the most ju- dicious management. Mr. Ricardo said, he had also a Resolution to lay before the House. He would, as the Noble Lord had done,. take this oppor- tunity of submitting his plan, and take the discussion on a future day. Ill the mean time, lie must say, that, tile Noble Lord's plan was, in fact, ail invasion of the Sinking Fund. There was one point of the Noble Lord's speech that contained a proposition against which he must protest~, that was, for the extension of the Bank Charter, and that for an object in itself roost insignificant. He trusted that the Government were not entangled or fettered by any thing, which bad passed between them and the Bank; but ti. it thoy would throw themselves on the House and the Public. His proposition would be, to impose a duty of 20s. at once. He- was extremely sorry to name so high a duty ; but the, distress of the times obliged him to do so. lie contended, that the farmer was badly treated in, this country ; for the moment he was visited with a short harvest, alid required a long price to make up for short produce, the ports were opened, and tile country was inun- dated with foreign corn. . He objected to the first Resolution, and to the whole proposition, as inadequate to the object it professed to have in view. The Marquis of Londonderry said a few words in explanation. He could not vote for a permanent duty of 20s.; he could perhaps vote for it at 80s. but he could not vote for 20s. when the price rose to 00s. or perhaps to 100s. Mr. Brougham particularly objected to the plan for advancing 1,000,000/. on the pledge of corn, as he would call it. It was held, that for a Government to purchase corn, would be absurd ; that had been held by all the writers 011 the subject, from Kaly do wn to the Member for Portarlington— but here it appeared there would be no objection to Government becoming a pawnbroker, and the Treasury hoisting three golden balls! He also blamed the propo- sition respecting the renewal of the Bank Charter, and declared he Saw no good which was likely to result from the extension of the private banking system through the country ; he did not under- stand that any distress had aris from a scarcity of money ; the distresshad originated in not knowing what to do with money when we had got it. As tp. the plan for reducing the half- pay, he con- sidered the plan as most extravagant and disadvantageous; as al- though we- should apparently and in quality get a profit in the first 16 years, but in the latter part of the term, it would lose to a much greater extent, and for several . of the last years, would perhaps be paying 2,800,000.'. for nothing. No man could fail to see that this was a plan for present relief, at the expence of future security and comfort. He considered it would have been, far better to have taken the 5,000, CS0 alleged Sinking Fund for the Public, than to adopt this stupid tontine, for it was neither more nor less. He thought the House would not do its duty if it went out of the Committee without adopting the only mode of relief for the country, economy. Mr. Huskisson defended the proposed plan for discharging the half- pay. He contended, also, that the Sinking Fund would not in any way be invaded by the measure proposed by his Noble Friend ; and then proceeded tQ defend the proposition foradvancing money upon corn to be deposited witli Government, when wheat was below a certain price, lie said he had also proposed Resolu- tions'in the Committee, of which, however, he would not now en- ter into any explanation, but content himself with laying them 011 the table, preparatory to their being printed, hoping he should be indulged with an early opportunity of explaining them to the Com- mittee on a future day. Mr. Vansittart said, in answer to a question, that the Contrac- tors for half- pay would have no controul over the regulations of the army, in the exchange of officers, in any way whatever. The Chairman then reported progress,' and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday, to consider of making provisions to pay the Naval and Military Half- pay and Pensions.— The House adjourned at Half- past One. TUESDAY.— Mr. Jones presented a Petition from the Grand Jury of Carmarthen praying a repeal of the Salt Tax— Gen. Gascoyne declared his determination steadily to urge for the repeal of this Tax, and he trusted Gentlemen would keep to this one Tax, lest by striving to carry too many points, they should fail ill all lord Althorpe considered the Tax on Leather in pro- portion to the sum raised by it, as more oppressive than even the Salt Tax. And if tile plan proposed by the Noble Marquis last night succeeded, both taxes might be repcued—- Mr. G. Bennet considered the strongest objections to exist against the Leather Tax. The Petition was then received. Mr. Scarlett moved for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the re- moval of the Poor— Leave given. Mr. Ellice wished to'put a question to the Noble Marquis on a subject which at present excited much interest in the commercial world. He was desirous oflearning, whether it was the intention of this, country to open a commercial intercourse with the Inde- pendent States; and whether it was intended to follow the example of the United States of America, and acknowledge the Indepen- dence of the South American States— Lord Londonderry said, he was entirely ignorant what the Government of America had done, and as to the first part of the question, he had no hesitation in say- ing, that a Bill would be brought into the House to regulate the commercial intercourse between the two countries. THE CATHOLIC QUESTION— Mr. Canning then rose to bring forward his motion 011 this subject. He said, he had been charged with insidiously wlshingby this motion to pass by the general ques- tion, but that he denied, for he had no such intention. By others lie had been charged with bringing forward the present proposi- tion, to make it a step to the general question. He brought it for- ward with no such views, tho' he was bound to acknowledge it would be a step, if carried, in favour of the general question, tho' in itself entirely distinct from it. By those who opposed this ques- tion it was urged, that it could not be supported without an inva- sion of the Constitution. Inanswerto those individuals, he would desire them to look to the provisions of the Act which he should propose to amend. He knyw some persons were so high- minded, that if they could not get all, they would take nothing, and there- fore they opposed the present measure; whilst others would op- pose it because, if earned, it would strip them of some of the to- fiics of their arguments ; but if this was to be a subject of regret, le supposed it must follow that the Catholics must regret all the boons extended to them in the last reign. He supposed they must lament the Statute which gave the Catholic the power of accumu- lating property. He supposed they must weep over that Statute which extended to the Catholics the right to hold offices. He ima- gined their misery must be completed on looking at that measure which opened to them the army and navy ; and, in fact, left to the Catholic commonalty— only the shadow of the chain in which they were bound at the commencement of the reign of George III. But they must lament over these boons, because, had they not been granted, what a glorious case of oppression they might have made out. ( Hear! hear!) He had also heard it said, that a feeling hos- tile to the present, measure Would originate in another place, in the circumstance of its being agitated in the House of Commons; but he was happy to say, that he had received this day a communica- tion from a person of tile highest rank, declaring ho' such feeling existed; and he would call to the recollection of the House, that other measures of a similar character as regarded the construction of the House of Peers, had originated in rhe Commons, and had of 16/ 8 was passed without due deliberation, the Parlunueut - met in November ; and tho'the Popish Plot- was slightly mentioned from the throne, the Commons passed the Bill excluding Catholic Peers from the Houseof Lords in seven days; but before that six out of seventeen or eighteen Catholic Peers were arrested by war- rant from the Lord Chief Justice. Day after day the Commons sent to know why the Peers had not passed the Bill- At last, they did pass it, but with the exception of excluding the Duke of ^ ork. A ..... FTF ™ R= NNE IN thp HMASF of I. ords Drotested airainst tlilf never been considered as measures of disrespect. But he would w say, tliat he had no wish to reconstruct the I now that wisii tile House of Peers, but to bring it back to what it was previous to the Act of 30th Nov, 1678. He was desirous of restoring its original Constitution as it was before Charles II. gave the Royal Assent to the Bill. He wouldjwish to restore to the House about six English, and the same number of Irish Peers, who had been removed under circumstan- ces which had long ceased to exist, anil with a degree of cruelty and injustice which never could be defended; and the remem- brance of which could never be obliterated, whilst the effect of that injustice still existed. He would now proceed to class the differ- ent acts of persecution against the Catholics at different periods; --. the first was the reign of Elizabeth ; the second the reign of Charles II.; and the third was from the Revolution to the com- mencement of George III. From the Revolution to the reign of George III. there was an exiled Dynasty, and a divided country, and it was not wonderful that William III. should see no injus- tice ill the act of Charles II. since his business was to keep down the friends of his predecessor, and to depress his religion, by which the exiled Monarch hoped to regain the Crown. Cutting off the period from the Reformation, to the Restoration, and irom the Revolution totheprcsent time, thereign of Charles II. would stand alone on its ovn merits. During the reign of Charles II. perse- cution of the Catholics did not comc from the Crown, but rose up from the peope, and clearly differed from the other two periods, and could staid only 011 its own merits. Since the Revolution he believed tile lenal Codes, as regarded the Catholics, had stood still, and, iufact, all the Penal Statutes which had not been re- pealed, had sink into disuse— with the rxception of the Statute of Charles II. liw under consideration. This Act was, in fact, tiie completion ad confirmation of the Act of the 5th of Elizabeth, extending to he House of Peers that exclusion which the 5th of Elizabeth onl applied to the House of Commons. That Act was, ill fact, to be lie subject of consideration to- nig'tit. Charles J!. was . Ijimself . Catholic secretly— his brother, the heir to the Throne, an a » wed one; and, under these circumstances, the Parliament, feffaf of a Popish successor, adopted the measure which be 110V sought f.' ie House to repeal. But had we a Popish successr_ to the throne to hinder us from allowing Ca- tholic Peers t. sit in the House of Lords ? Had we any thing to fear' by gjjtfting this concession ? A bill had been several times then sci up to tiic, Lords, to . prevent Catholics from sitting in Virtiamentaud had been as often sent back. When the Act A number of persons ill the House of Lords protested against this Bill, that nothing could take away the privileges of their birth. He would not contend that a standing order of either House of Parliament could stand against a positive law of the land ; but he shewed this to prove that the House of Lords were then goaded oil by menaces from the House of Commons, and from without, to pass the Bill of exclusion ; and he inferred that the alarm being temporary, so did the Lords expect that the storms of that day would be soon blown over, and the privilege of the Peerage be again restored. This construction - of their Protest derived considerable support from the Act itself; for a more clumsy piece of enactment could hardly be fount: in these times, when legislation had so en- ormously increased. He read the preamble, and some clauses of the Act, in proof of this. O11 a member ofthe preamble, which could only have applied to the House of Commons, was founded this Act of Exclusion from the House of Lords. The Act of the 30th of Charles II. removed Peers alone from the presence of the King, while the Act of 1731 restored them to the royal presence. AVI10, then, would consider tha Act of exclusion as one of the safe- guards ofthe Constitution. In the oath of supremacy the Catho- lic was required to abjure all foreign religious authority in this kingdom. In 1731, the oath was altered to his denying the Pope's temporal and civil authority, and then he might come into the King's presence ; but he must deny his spiritual authority before he could come into the Parliament House. Was it possible that even the fear of the Popish Plot could have made our ancestors legislate so absurdly ? This Act of exclusion could not be too soon expunged from their Statute Book. But anomalies did not cease here; but for the first time since the Revolution had Catholic Peers been summoned to the Coronation ! This was not to be looked at as an idle pageant, but one in which the Monarch re- news the understood compact between him and his people. The Duke of Norfolk was chosen to convey the King's sentiments, when he drank to ail his loving subjects ; and could the Catholic Austrian or French Ministers present believe that this same Duke of Norfolk had to strip off his robes, not to put them 011 again until ( may God long avert the day 1) another Coronation f The Catho- lic Peers might hold the train, or mix in the suit of royalty ; but as to legislating— 01 no, they must not share in that until they had denied the supremacy ofthe Pope in religious matters ill this country A laugh The King, on his visit to Ireland, conferred the honour of St. Patrick on Lord Fingall; but that Noble Lord could not vote for one of his own representatives. He had only considered the Act of 1678 ill a political point of view ; and they, could not look at it without seeing that it passed under duress and false pretences; and if Lord Stafford's guilt had been as cical- as his innocence was acknowledged, still this Act ought not to stand— not even if the Popish Plot had been true; and there had not been enormous perjury to support that infamous plot. They owed every atonement for'those deeds, and the only way was to repeal this Bill. The facts were that accusations against Lord Stafford and others, were sent up from the House q'f Commons as harbingers to the Bill. In five or six years after Lord Stafford had been beheaded, the witnesses against him were convicted of perjury ; and the Bill of Attainder against that Nobleman was re- versed ; and though Titus Oates was taken into pay by the revolu- tionary Government, yet he feared that the " Res dura, et regrii hovltas," forced them to such acts. They had now, however, no such reason for warping their judgments or denying this concession, called for as it was by justice equally with true policy. He was not to be de- terred from such a measure by the pretended anomaly of admitting Catholics into one branch ofthe Legislature, and not into the other. He thought they did wrong in excluding Catholics from seats in that House, but that was but the withholding of an imperfect right; the other was the deprivation of a positive privilege. The Catholic Gentleman did not carry about with him the distinctive marks of his exclusion from the House of Commons, but that was not the case with the Peer. Who saw the Coronet on the brow of the Duke of Norfolk but felt that it branded rather than adorned it ? He hoped he had shewn. the Hon. Member for Somersetshire ( I. ethbridge) that this was'quite a distinct case from the general view of the Catholic Question. He was quite sure, that no Jury ill the country would refuse the restoration of the rights which he sought for, when they considered the innocence of Lord Stafford and the other Catholic Peers He had argued this measure upon its own grounds alone; and if any who followed him argued it ou the whole principle of Catholic Emancipation, he would tell them that he should then consider his cause as won. If the Catholic Peers were not guilty, why should this Act of exclusion he conti- nued on their posterity ?— Being free from the fear of a Popish plot, or a Popish successor to th* Crown, he desired to know why they were to continue this injustice ? He put this question on the ground of right alone. All appeals to former ages and former wis- dom would be better, than to former prejudice, perjury, and in- justice. He would not have brought this question forward if he had not considered it right in policy— in the name of humanity, charitable— and in the name of God, just! He then moved for leave to bring in a BUI to enable Catholic Peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords. Mr. Agar Ellis seconded the motion. Mr. Peel knew how difficult it was to attract men's minds from the dazzling views and splendid talents of his Right Hon. Friend. It was not his intention to enter into the general question ; but he meant to contend, that he saw no reason to admit Catholic Peers, any more than Catholic Commoners, into Parliament. He had every respect for the high characters of the Catholic Peers ; but that was not alone a reason for their admission in Parliament. His Right Hon. Friend had said, that the Catholic Commoners were in a very different situation from the Catholic Peers; but his Right Hon. Friend meant to make the distinction wider, for he intended to give the King I lie power of placing an unlimited number of Ca- th< 3ic Peers in Parliament This he ( Mr. Peel) was of opinion was utterly unconstitutional. He protested against the argument that the exclusion of Catholic Peers was the consequence of the fears of the Popish Plot, or the menaccs of the Crown. They must look at the whole policy of the age, and then they would find that the Act of 1678 was confirmed at the Revolution, when a Popish King was excluded from the Crown— when the Bill of Rights passed. He denied that the Exclusion Act was passed through duress alone. The Acts of that day were intended to settle the Protestant character of the constitution and government of this empire; for they were all supported by Lord Somcrs, and the Whigs of the Revolution, at which time too they were all of them confirmed. They were done to prevent the danger of having an avowed Roman Catholic on the throne. If it had been ex- plained that the constitution of England was fundamentally Pro- testant, then the wonder would have ceased. He should have hoped that liis Right Hon. Friend would not have argued from the former concessions to the Catholics, that still further concessions should be made. But he was firmly of opinion that the laws a- gainst the Catholics should not be carried beyond the spirit in which they were enacted. But the measure of his Right Hon. Friend would not correct the present anomaly of the Catholic Peer- age. How could an Irish Catholic, like an Irish Protestant Peer, ever be a candidate for a seat in the House of Commons, when he would be met by oaths which fie could, not, upon his principles, take ? Though, by the present Bill, the Duke of Norfolk would be enabled to sit in the House of Peers, he could accept no favour from the Crown. He would therefore postpone the subject, till it could be taken into consideration in all its bearings, and em- bracing all classes of Catholic subjects. He would ask of those, who thought securities necessary, whether it was wise to open one branch of the Legislature without any securities at all. That omission would render the demand of securities highly invidious, as the Members of the House of Commons sat only tor seven years, but the Peers for life. ( L. oud cheering.) It had been said that the Government of Ireland, was conducted on too narrow a basis, and that her population should be admitted to all the privileges of the Constitution. He would ask such persons if any object could be gained by the partial concession to the Catholic Peers. If the time had arrived for the admission of Catholic Peers to seats, yet the consideration of their peculiar case should be postponed till the general question should be investigated, and the requisite securi- ties be propounded. He would not move any previous question, but should give the proposition a decitled negative. ( Loud cheering). Lord F. Gower was clear as to the justice of the claims of the Catholic Peers; and Lord Nugent thought unconstitutional grounds could be adduced against them Mr. Warre and Mr. H. Mar., tin were likewise in favour of the motion. Mr. Punkett said that liis Right Hon. Friend had so completely exhausted the subject that he would not have addressed the House, but for fear lest his silence might be mis- construed. In the motion he perfectly concurred as as act of strict justice; and he was hap- py that the other House would have an opportunity of deciding on the question as Judges, as Gentlemen, as honest men. ( Cheers. J The spirit of freedom had been the nurse of the Protestant Religi- on, and the cause ofthe Revolution. In the'time of the Stuarts the people fonud that there was 130 securit- for their civil rights but by sending away that race. There was nothing in the Revolution in opposition to the civil rights of the people. ( Hear! hear.') In whatever shape or portion the measure should be Lrought for- ward, it should have his support; and the measure would be re. that profligate Monarch Charles II feiitihe urn deny the remot- est similitude between that period and the present time.' What. danger can you feci in restoring the decendants of six Catholic Peers to the enjoyment of tleir family honours ? We had now no fear of a Popish King, a Popish Presumptive Heir to the Throne. We had none of those dangers which but palliated the injustice of that disfranchisement. These are objections which meet the opponents of the motion in full front, and which,'. not withstanding " The fears of the brave and follies of the wise," have no ground of existence in the circumstances of these times. • Either these restrictions were continued on the grounds 011 which they were originally imposed, or the advocates for their Continu- ance: were called upon to shew the reasons why they should be perpetuated. ( Hear! hear!) If die measure which he had pro- jected should be carried, it would be, as the Attorney- General for Ireland had said, a great act of public justice— a repentance of the shedding of innocent blood, and an atonement of past insult! It woultl equal the hopes which he. had dared to entertain, and it would surpass the expectations of more important persons—[ At the conclusion of this speech the cheering whs loud, and continued for some minutes from ail parts of the House.'] The House then divided, when the numbers were— Ayes 249, Noes 244; majority for the motion 5 Adjourned at one o'clock.

J He would thcreforecall on the House to do its duty— to adopt the measure now, and send it to the Lords — it would be for them to determine whether they would be called on by a regard to their privileges to reject it. Mr. WetherM objected to the present motion; first, because it war. a partial measure; and next, because it came before the House with a character different from ail former propositions. Formerly, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Grattan, and the Right Hon. Gent, ( who had just sat down), and all theother great names connected with this subject, came forward with concession in one hand and security in the other, but the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool now came forward with all possible concession in one hand, but not the slightest shadow of security in the other. Now what would be the consequence of pas- sing such a measure as that now proposed ? If the l'esr was now to be admitted into the other House without security, next Ses-, sion the Commons must be admitted into this House without ask. ing for security ; and soon after the Clergy would come and say, " You have admitted Members ta both branches of the Legisla- ture without security; we, the Church, demand the same terms; We claim to elect our own Bishops, independent of the Veto of the Crown." And if they did come forwaid with such a claim, we shoultl be bound in justice to give them what they asked for, as jt would be the height of injustice to ask securities of one body cf mer., whilst they suffered others to pass without making any such demand. On these grounds he should feel it his duty to oppose the motion—( Loud cries of Question-.' question !) Mr. Canning to reply.- In allusion to a comparison which had been made between the relative situation of Ireland and Soot- land as to this question, he freely confessed that the introduction of the word " Protestant" into the Scotch Union, operated as a complete bar against extending this measure to Scotland, without proposing a repeal of part ol'the Act of Union. lie was sorry that the Irish, contrary to their usual. character, had been more provi- dent than the Scotch on this point He said, he woidd go along with his Right.

CORN.— An Official Return to an order of the House of Commons of the arrivals of Corn into the Port of London, for the last three years, gives the following totals: WHEAT— Total quarters for the year 1819. British, 300,416 ; Foreign, 143,036;— For the year 1820, total quarters, British, 309,009; Foreign, 237,508 For the year 1821, total quarters, British, 494,828 ; Foreign, 35,174. llor DUTY.— The Hereford Journal says, " Another conference has taken place between our worthy County Member, Sir J. G. Cotterell, accompanied by Viscount Eastnor, Sir Thos. Wilmington, Sir Chas. Burrell, and Mr. Curteis, Member for Sus- sex, and the Chancellor of the. Exchequer, relative to a reduction of the Hop duty for the last and all future years. The Chancel- lor, we regret to state, has not fully acceded to the strong repre- sentations and arguments made use of by tile above highly re- spectable persons. He has, however, agreed to postpone the pay- ment of the last year's duty, ( which has usually been made at this time,) and to let it be paid by instalments, on the 5th July, 10th of October, and 10th of November. A simple note of hand by two persons will be accepted for the stipulated paynent, by which the stamp duty will be trifling. The Chancellor, though he regretted that the relief required could not be given for the last year's crop, yet expressed a hope that material relief would be afforded to the Agriculturists, and that. thib subject should have the fullest con- sideration before the ensuing year. Upon this point there can be but one common opinion and wish, viz. that the reduction upon a modified scale of duty should take place." ANNUAL CATTLE SHOW OF THE BOARD OF AGRICUL- TURE— Oil Monday s'taniglit, tile spacious yard and premises of Mr. Aldridge, in Little St. Martin's- lane, were opened for the ex- hibition of the farming live stock of nearly all the descriptions, which had been sent up from the various counties, as competitors for the premiums offered by the Society of Subscribers, who con- tinue the name, and pursue, out of their own funds, the objects which the late Government Board of Agriculture had under its charge. A considerable number of very fine animals, some fat and others in store or breeding condition, were exhibited, and were much admired by a considerable assemblage of the noble and dis- tinguished patrons of improved live stock, and by breeders and graziers from most ofthe comities within two hundred miles of the metropolis.— The dinner took place in the afternoon at the Free- mason's Tavern, the Earl of Macclesfield in the chair. It was not very nume- tiusly attended. SHIPWRECK.— The Margaretha Lorencia, a Dutch ves- sel, from Groningen, was lost on 11th April, on the coast of Fi- nisterre. No intelligence was received of the wreck until the morning of the 12th, when some persons put off towards the ves- sel, to see if any of the crew survived. When they got near it, they could only perceive the corpse of a female on deck, and being forced to retire 011 account of the violence of the sea, they deter- mined to wait for a calm to make an effort to save the cargo. About noon on the 14th, they were getting ready to put to sea, when they thought they could distinguish a signal of distress; attentive only to the dictates of courage and humanity, and resolved to perform quarantine in case of necessity, they immediately embarked, and soon got on board the vessel. Wrliat was their astonishment on finding the Captain, his two daughters, and the cabin- boy alive, covered by a tarpaulin, and supported by a cable on which they had taken refuge ! Who would not have been touchod with com- passion at beholding this unfortunate Captain, who at one stroke had lost his wife, his son, and his whole crew, and who, to com. plete his. misfortunes, was suffering most excruciating pain from a broken leg 1 In this dreadful situation, he would have inevita- bly perished, had not his elder daughter, who is about 13 years of age, happily thought of making a signal with a handkerchief, which was perceived as stated. ROBERT BURNS.— The public will be gratified to learn, that Mr. Flaxman has produced a Model of the Statue about to be erected to the Memory of Robert Burns, and which has been. ap- proved by the Committee. The Poet is represented in his native costume, in the attitude of contemplative reflection ; in his right " hand is placed the Mountain Daisy, emblematical of one of his sweetest poems ; in his left he holds a roll, on which are engraved the words, " Cotter's Saturday Night," a poem equally remark- able for its genuine piety, and poetical simplicity. The likeness to Burns is very striking, being executed from an original bj> Nas- myth, procured for the occasion by Mr. Flaxman, from the vene- rable W'idow of. the Bard. The Statue, which is to be colossal, and of bronze, will be placed by the kindness of the Magistrates of Edinburgh, iu one of the most appropriate situations in the New Town of that city. THE LATE SIR JOHN SYLVESTER'S WILL.— The Will ofthe late Recorder was proved in the Commons on the 18th inst. by the oath of Dame Harriet Sylvester, the relict and sole execu- trix. ; The personal property was sworn under 16,000/. the bulk of which, including the leasehold house in Bloomsbury- square, is given, to I. ady S. who is the residuary legatee. Among the lega- cies is 500/. to his daughtei, Matilda, wife to the Rev. Mr. Mit- chell, of Isleworth; and 30/. for life, to a servant. The freeholds and copyholds in Essex are given to Trustees, for the use of the widow for life; remainder to his nephew, Capt. Carteret, R. N. and his heirs male; in failure of which to a nephew of Lady S.; with several other remainders. The residue of the real estate is also, given to her Ladyship. The will is dated April 25, 1820. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— On Monday morning, a young man of the musical profession, started from the Castle and Bail Inn, Bath, to walk to the Exchange, Bristol, in hours ( distance about 13 miles). He commenced his undertaking at five o'clock, performing the first and second miles in 9 minutes each, and completed 6 miles in less than 55 minutes. Finding himself sick, and supposing he had plenty of time tp win, he slackened his pace, and1 was' 26 minutes in performing the next two miles: his illness increasing, he was unable to regain the time, altho', his pain- fully gallant efforts throughout were such as to excite the sympa- thy and admiration of the parties betting both for and against him. He arrived at the Exchange at 18 minutes past seven, losing this arduous match by two minutes and forty- six seconds. His failure is attributable to want of training. CORONER'S INQUEST.— On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Bristol, on the body of Mr. Ulysses Mellor, of Norfolk- street, in that city, which has caused a great sensation there. It was as- serted the deceased met his death in consequence of the ill- treat- ment of his mother- in- law ; and such were the circumstances that came out in the course of the examination, that the inquest was ad- journed until Wednesday, and again till Friday, and the evidence was not finished until a late hour on Friday night, when another adjournment took place. On Saturday morning the Jury again mat; and after deliberating a considerable time, at ten o'clock at night relumed a verdict of manslaughter against Sarah Roberts, the wife's mother! EXTENSIVE FRAUD.— A letter from Haddington, Scot- land, April 20, says—" This place has been, thrown into conside- rable confusion, in consequence of an extensive robbery commit- ted 011 the East Lothian Bank. The, cashier, in' whom the most implicit confidence had been placed, - was not at his post on the morning of the 9th just. An investigation into the cause of his absence took place, when it was soon discovered, that lie had ab. sconded with bills and bank notes to a very great amount. A re- ward of 200 guineas was immediately issued, and a pursuit com- menced, but hitherto without success. It. was supposed he had proceeded to a seaport to embark for the Continent, as letters have been received from him, dated Newcastle, the 10th inst. It is not known the exact sum lie has absconded with; but besides East Lothian Bank, and other notes and bills abstracted, it has been ascertained that he procured and carried off to the amount » f 5,5S35/. DreaDfUL CATASTROPHE.— Huuxiui jnoltiniR, at live o'clock, the inhabitants of Budge Row were alarmed by tbe falling of two houses, Nos. 6 and - 7, occupiedby Mr. Bowles and Mr. Parry. The inmates- in Mr. B0wles'. s house-' wtA, Mr. and Mrs. B. their son ( aged four years), . and a youi^ g, lady, who- had- - , arrived 011 a visit to Mrs, Bowles on that day. Oil. Mr. Tarry's premises were Mr. P. two elderly maiden ladies,. named Osbaldes- ton, and Mr. Nichols. Mr. Bowles, his son, the two Mrs. Oa- baldestons, Mr. Nichols, and the young lady, were buried under its ruins. Mr. Parry, hearing a sudden crash, fortunately got into the street before the house fell, and Mrs. Bowles also miraculously escaped. A number of workmen were instantly procured, and, after considerable labour, they succeeded 111 rescuing Mr. Bowles,. • Mr. Nichols, and the two Mrs. Osbaldestons.' from the ruins. The three latter, much bruised, were immediately conveyed to St. The- ' irias's Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Bowles were taken to the Crown ; Tavern, the former greatly injured. At two o'clock, thechild Was dug out of the ruins, and carried to St. Antholin's Church, quite • • •- dead ; and about five o'clock the young lady was extricated, with her knees bent, and her arm over her eyes. Life had not entirely - forsaken her; but she expired shortly, after being carried into the Church. - . « •• , f At Stafford Sessions, James Slack, Sarah Slack, James Slack Mould, and Thos. Slack, were convicted Of a conspiracy1 in hiring one John Mountjoy, an Irishman, to murder Joseph Slack; * an old man, and brother of the prisoner . lames Slack. The dls- . agreement between the parties arose out of some property belong- , ing to the prisoners, which had been mortgaged to the prosecutor, and had now become his property. The only evidence against them was that of Mountjoy, who had been hired to effect thejr ; wicked purpose. To James Slack Mould and Thomas Slack, two - years' imprisonment was adjudged ; to James Slack the brother, one year; and fo Sarah Slack, six months. : • Upon an appeal, tile Court confirmed a rate OR the coal mines of Sir John Heathcote, at Talk 0' th' Hill, for the repair of the highways. " ." " V POOR LAWS.— At the last Norfolk Quarter Sensions, . the Court came to a most important decision on the Poor I^ awi, or,.. an appeal by the Rev. Dr. Bulwer, rector of Cawston, against the . Poor Rates for that parish. The Doctor had been rated at 550/- for his tithes, against which he appealed upon the ground, that it exceeded a fourth of the Assessment upon the tithiable property . in that parish, which he contended was the proportion at Which tithes should be assessed- to the Poor- rate. The Court dismissed the appeal, being unanimously of opinion, that there was no., rul « in law for fixing a proportional assessment 011 tithes compared with land, and that the only principle was, to assess all real pro perty according to the productive value or profit which it yielded. — This determination is important, as it recognises a principle, the general application of which, at the present time, will be at- . tended with the most serious results to the farmer and the clergy j v „ : i the latter the chief burthen of supporting the poor will now , be thrown. , •> DEFAMATION.— A case of a singular nature came on at Chester Sessions, in which G. Blackwall, of Manchester, was plain- tiff, and John Leech, and Thomas Leech, his brother, and Mary, the wife of Thomas, were defendants. The indictment charged them with having conspired together'to injure the character and reputation of the plaintiff, by propagating foul and malicious false- hoods, accusing the plaintiff" with having had a criminal connexion with his own daughter, the defendant, Thomas Leech's wife. It occupied the attention of the Court for 14 hours. The Charge against John and Thomas Leech was clearly proved, and a verdict of guilty was given, and Mary the wife not guilty.' They wer « sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and to find security for their good behaviour. ... WRECKERs.— Thomas Moore, of Moreton, labourer, was convicted, at the Chester assizes, of stealing ropes from tho wreck of the Mary and Betsey, stranded on the Wallasey shorty , in October, 1820, and sentenced to suffer death— It is to be hoped ' • that all those persons who have hitherto looked upon wrecking as a lawful trade, will learn from his sentence, that by the law of the land as well as the laws of humanity, it is considered a most atro-- cious crime. By the 20th of Geo. II. plundering a vessel in dis- tress ( whether wreck or 110 wreck) is felony without benefit of clergy. OXFOrd, April 2?.— Yesterday, in Congregation, Gen. Freer, B.
