WE have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, and a Telegraphic Dispatch of Monday, con- veying the intelligence that the head- quar- ters of the French array were at Burgos on the 9tli, and that the first corps had made its movement on Valladolid. This is nearly all the news, of any interest, that is communicated from that quarter. The New York Papers arrived yesterday, inform us that on the 20th of March the British King's cutter Grecian, destroyed, off'the Isle of Pines, the famous piratical schoo- ner la Cata, after an action of 20 minutes. The piratical crew, with the exception of the killed and three taken, es- caped on shore. The Grecian had two men wounded. These Papers contain several horrible instances of piracy. From the same Papers we extract the following :— " Boyer, President of Hayti, lias issued a decree dated March 20th, prohibiting from the 1st of May next, all re- lations or intercourse by merchant vessels, belonging to pri- vate individuals, between Hayti and the different Islands of the Archipelago to the windward and leeward." From the Calcutta Journal of the 5th Jan. we extract the following:—" A party of a Naik and four seapoys of the Goruckpoor light infantry, with as many horse, was lately detached to escort a sum of about 8000 rupees from Pirownah, to the provincial treasury at Goruckpoor. The party received charge of above 12,000 rupees, and in re- turning on the night ofthe 8th, in filing through a jungle only nine miles from Goruckpoor, they suddenly found licmselves separated and enclosed in a remarkable and most ingenious manner. A party of Dakthus had laid' across the road two strong ropes with nettings, at some yards distance from each otber: they allowed the Suwars, who led the party, to pass clear over both, and when the infantry with the treasure had got between the ropes, they were suddenly braced up to the trees like boarding net- tings, and the attack commenced simultaneously on both parties thus separated, by a general discharge of match- locks. The Naik of the guard fell at once, with more gun shot and lance wounds than would have served to destroy a whole platoon ; and three of his party were dangerously wounded. Unable as the infantry were to extricate them- selves, or the cavalry to assist them out of the toils, and all having more than enough to do, no wonder the trea- sure was carried offi and half the escort killed or wounded. The banditti were calculated at from 100 to 150 men." A French frigate cruizing off the Lizard, professedly to look for Spanish vessels, annoyed several English vessels last week, in a way not to be permitted to continue: the Eliza and Sarah, of Cardiff, were detained by her the great- est part of the day. A letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, dated Bilboa, 1st instant, gives a list of seventeen vessels which arrived up to the 29th April, with provisions for the French Army. The King held a Court yesterday at Carlton Palace, for receiving the Report of the Recorder, liis Majesty's health is not sufficiently re- established for holding the deferred Drawing Room. The declaration of Lord Liverpool in the House of Lords on Monday night, that the French Government cntirelv disclaimed the Proclamation made by the Junta at the head- quarters of the Duke of Angouleme, has given great satisfaction to the holders of Spanish Bonds; they calculate that the loans will be recognised under any cir- cumstances. Mr. Ellis, M. P. for Dublin, received a letter a few days ago, purporting to be from Lord Manners, desiring his immediate attendance in Dublin : on arriving there, the letter was found to be a hoax ! Died at Newcastle, on the 3d instant, at her house in Northumberland- street, at an advanced age, Mrs. B. Scott, sister of the Lord Chancellor, and twin sister of Lord Stowell. The Empress Catharine of Russia wrote a letter to Louis XVI. when in his distress, containing the following: desDOtic romorli • " k.; T> E= ougln to proceed ill their ca- reer, undisturbed by the cries of the people, as the moon pursues her course unimpeded by the howling of dogs." An account of a Russian vessel being destroyed off ihe coast of Patagonia by a whale, and a list of calamitous sufferings resulting therefrom to the crew, has appeared in several of the Papers, in a letter from St. Petersburgh, received there via Nantucket, in America. The circum- stance occurred as far back as November 1821, and was detailed in this'Paper several months since. The inhabitants of St. Sidwell's, Exeter, have presented a massive Silver Waiter to the Rev. J. D. Coleridge, on liis retiring from the Curacy of their parish, as a testimo- ny of their respect for his exemplary piety, and of their gra- titude for the zeal with which he fulfilled his sacred duties. Nearly 400 acres of valuable fir plantation, near Frim - ley, Surrey, principally belonging to the Duke of Glou- cester, and Lawrell, Esq. have been consumed by fire, supposed to be the work of incendiaries. Vauxhall opens in a few days, under the same spirited management as last year. Among other improvements, two theatres are erected within the gardens ; the one, for juvenile ballets, the other, for songs and imitations, & c. A new opera, called Clari, or the Maid of Milan, was performed on Thursday night at Covent ( iarden. The piece is a translation from the French, with new music, by Bishop. The plot is simple but affecting ; and the last scene, where Rolano ( Fawcett) has an interview with his daughter Cari ( Miss Tree), whom he believes to have aban- doned the path of virtue, is equal for pathos to any thing on the stage. The opera was received with unanimous applause. By a Parliamentary account just printed, it appears that the net Revenue of Ireland; for the year ending 5th April, 18 3, was 3,513,844./; for 5th April, 1822, 3,990,498/. The Customs for the year ending 5tli April, 1823, amounted to 1,108,939/.— 5th April, 1822, 1,418,786/.— so that in this branch alone there is a fiilling off of 249,347/. In Great- Britain the produce of the Customs for the year ending 5th April, 1823, exceeded that of the preceding year.— From about 14 millions of people in Great- Britain, 50' millions of Taxes are raised ; while from 7 millions in Ireland, only 3^ millions. Circular letters have been received by the Overseers throughout England, from the Clerk of the House of Com- mons, requiring an account of all the money raised by the poor's rate in the year ending tho 25th of March last, dis- tinguishing what sum in every parish lias been levied upon lands employed in agriculture ; what has been raised on mansions, messuages, tenements, dwelling- houses and cot- tages ; how much on factories, warehouses, and other build- ings connected with mercantile pursuits; and what has been raised by rates on mines, coal- pits, and other specu- lations of the like nature. A letter from Brighton, dated the 11th instant, says— " The weather at sea on Friday was squally, and at inter- vals the swell in the Channel tremendous. Our mackerel boats, in nets, suffered considerable losses: one came in deficient of 80. Allen's boat was deprived of from 30 to 40. Wingham's boat left behind upwards of 20, and va- rious other disasters occurred in a similar way. But, se- vere as were these mishaps, they dwindle into insignifi- cance when compared to the melancholy and fatal event which attached itself to the boat of Jacob Carden. The latter, with five hands on board, about nine o'clock A. M. was seen by another boat, south of Newhaven, returning for this, place, when she shipped a sea which in one in- stant capsized her, and consigned all on board to a watery grave. An accident of a similar nature, so perfect in its distressing character, has not occurred here for many years; and we trust it is not destined to find a parallel in the future." In the Court of King's Bench, on 3d. inst. Mr. Scarlett moved for a criminal information against a magistrate of Hertfordshire, forgiving his opinion on the bench at ses- sions, in a cause in which he was personally interested, and taking an active part in endeavouring to influence his bro- ther justices on a question, as to the costs of an appeal, to which he was in some degree a party.— The Court said, they did not think this a ground for a criminal information but suggested that, as a matter of delicacy, it would have been as well if the Magistrate so situated did not interfere with the deliberations of his brethren, unless it was to ex- plain any part of his own conduct.— Rule refused. Among the Insolvents brought before the Court, on Monday, was Sarah Mynd; who slated, that Mr. Jones, of Union- street, Southwark, attended her in an illness, and sent in a bill of 1/. 9s. 6d.; but, without applying for the money, summoned her in the County Court, and is- sued execution, whereby the debt and costs amounted to 23/. Is.! On this she was taken, and had been in the County Gaol for Surrey 15 weeks. Beyond this sangui- nary claim, her schedule only exhibited a debt of 7/.; but to her there were owing good debts to the amount of 45/. — Chief Commissioner : " This is one of the most cruel cases I ever knew of. Let the poor woman be sworn and discharged immediately." A negro servant in the West Indies, having carried a letter from his master to a neighbouring planter, fell asleep on the floor, while the latter was preparing an answer. When it was finished, he desired that the negro might be awakened ; but this was no easy matter. The negro, who attempted to rouse him, exclaimed " you no hear, Massa call you ?" " Sleep," replied the poor fellow, " Sleep hah no massa 1" It may be useful at this season of the year to know, that by dipping potatoes for a few minutes in boiling water, they will be prevented from sprouting, and will keep in a fit state during many months. Many young men, we may say to the extent of hun- dreds, have of late left various places in Galloway, and gone to England, to prosecute a new branch'of business, in which they are stiled jjli Pedlars." They are engaged by extensive merchants, who employ them to hawk tea, soft goods, & e. in large towns, and the sur- rounding country. Arrangements are so made, that a certain district, or walk, is allotted to each individual. This he travels over as often as necessary, taking orders upon one visit, and calling with the goods on the next. By this means he evades the hawker's license, and effects sales to a very considerable amount. Their terms of agree- ment bind them to three years' servitude, for which they are remunerated by boarding, clothing, and washing; and, at the expiration of this period, they are allowed the cre- dit of a few goods from their employers, with the privi- lege of commencing, business on their own behalf in the walk which they formerly occupied. In honour of our young countrymen, it may be mentioned that so high an opinion is there formed of thoir honesty and assiduity, and so anxious arc the wholesale merchants to be supplied with the true Scottish breed, that they dismissed a young man because bis mother was an Irish woman.— Stirling Paper. AMENDE HONOURABLE.— In 1822, the Earl of Fife was a dismissed " Lord of the Bed- chamber. In 1823, the Earl of Fife is made a Knight of the Guelphic Order." His Majesty was graciously pleased to invite this Nobleman to Carlton Palace last week, and on Lord Fife's being ushered into the Royal apart- ment, the King, with that dignity so peculiarly his own, and which was so correctly and emphatically expressed by M. De Chateau- briand, " took the Order from his own person, and placed it round the neck of Lord Fife; honouring him at the same time with the most flattering expressions of his Royal favour and regard," What signifies Ministerial vengeance after this ? Who need be afraid of the Treasury whipper- in, or hesitate to give an independent vote in the House of Commons. LORD BYRON.—( From the Charleston Courier.)— Lord Byron, it is said, is coming to this country. We are sorry for it. He will not be pleased with the United States. Neither their cli- mate nor their manners are sensualized, as in Italy. He will find that his mind has travelled in advance of his person, and withered the flowers that he hopes for in his path. He will behold the pines, recoiling from apostate genius— the beautiful, shuddering at the prophaner of innocence, and the virtuous republican, sneering at the vices of peerage. If he come, he will write of us. America is a poetical subject, at least as much so as Don Juan. Campbell writes doggrel about us, and ' little Moore' wrote slander. If Lord Byron would praise us, the proper account to charge it to, would be, his disaffection to the Ministry. But if he should abuse us, we ought not to complain, seeing that neither heaven nor earth communes with him who throws into his mind the deformity of his person, and extinguishes, in contempt for the one, the pity which might have availed the other. THE RULING PASSION OR HABIT.— Haller, the great physician, seems to have been making his very latent eansaticiu MONMOUTH RAILWAY.

The whole of these premises have recently undergone a very complete repair, several hundred pounds having, within the last four months been expended thereon. The several rooms are newly painted and papered, and altogether the House is exceedingly well calculated to receive a large and genteel family, ( the two Houses containing no less than 21 rooms,') and bv whom it will be found ( from its nearness to the Wells, and different places of amuse- ment,) worthy of notice; or it would well suit a respectable Lodg- ing- House- Keeper ; and a good Tenant will meet with every pos- sible accommodation.

LIBELS.— The Cardinal Mazarine, against whom a great number of libels had been written, pretended to be very much ir- ritated by them, seized the copies, and then had them sold clan- destinely, by which he made a sum of 30,000 francs. STONEHENGE.— This ancient pile forms the subject of the Newdigate Prize Poem this year. Stonehenge was erected, according to Itapin, in the year 473, by Ambrosius Aurelianus, in memory of the 300 Britons who were massacred on the 1st of May, by Hengist, tile Saxon. It has been justly wondered, says Mons. Rapin, " how stones of 20 or 30 tons could be raised so high as they are. It will not be amiss to give . Mr. Rowland's hy- pothesis in his ' Mona Antiqua.'— Small mounds were thrown up with sloping sides, and level at the top. Up these sides, with great levers and pullies, by little and little, they rolled and heaved up the stones they designed to erect; then laying them along on the top of the hillock, they dug holes in the eaith at the end of the stones, as deep as the stones were long, into which they let them slip straight on ends, with their tops level with the tops of the mount, then placing other stones upon these, and taking away the earth almost to the bottom of the supporters, there appeared what we call Stonehenge, Rollrich, or Cromlech."

ROBERT WARREN, Blacking Manufacturer, 30, L\ i STRAND, begs to caution the Public against a Spurious Composition being sold under his name by means of imitation labels. These may easily be detected by observing that the genuine has signed on each label, all others are counterfeit; many of which are interlined, in very small characters, with a different addrew between the " No 30," and the word " Strand." ROBERT WARREN also b<- g3 to add, that his sole Manu- factory is at 30, STRAND ; nor has he any connexion with those pretended Warehouses professing to be Branch Establishments of his. All Persons giving orders for WARREN'S BLACKING are particularly requested to take notice that the Real Manu- facturer is ROBERT WARREN, 30, STRAND. It is strongly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by such vile Impostors to return ihe trash to the parties Jrom whom it came, as being a punishment suitable to base fabrica- tors of an article so essentially necessary to the fashionable world.

HE Paris Papers have arrived in due course.-— Tuesday, the Minister of Finance at the opening of - M_ the Exchange, communicated the following intelli- gence to the Syndic: . . " According to tiie report of Marshal Moncey, which arrived this night, the Constitutional divisions of Milans and Llobera had retired upon Hostalrich. Mina has avoided our troops with the intention of approaching the frontier. On the 7th list, he was at Volfagona, in the direction of Campredon. " Count Curial, the same day, was near Olot; Baron d'Eroles followed Mina, within a day's march, by Besora. Romagosawas in position at Ripol; thus Mina will find himself surrounded by forces much superior to his own ; and if he should he pressed, as there is every reason to believe he will be, he must fight desperate- ly, or else throw himself into the Cerdagne by defiles, extremely difficult, and where he will be wholly without resources. " Gen. Donnadieu entered Vich on the 6th inst. Our troops were received with acclamations by the inhabitants.' It is with regret we announce, that his Majesty s health is far from satisfactory. We do not understand that there are any grounds for serious alarm ; hut his physicians, as may easily be supposed, view with some uneasiness these re- peated attacks of indisposition— Courier. It was evident to all who were present at the Council which was held on Tuesday, that his Majesty was suffering much pain from the gout; and in the evening, the symp- toms grew worse. A bulletin was issued on Wednesday, in consequence ofthe reports that prevailed, caused, no doubt, by what had been observed at the Council, and others appear- ed yesterday and to- day, all of which we subjoin. They wera signed by Doctors Halford and Tierney. " Carlton Palace, May 14— The King has passed a restless night, but his Majesty's fever is rather less this morning." " Carlton Palace, May] 5 The King has had some refreshing sleep in the night, and the fever is much abated." " Carlton Palace, May 18— The King is free from fever to- day. His Majesty is convalescent." The Dublin Papers, received this morning, bring full de- tails ofthe Aggregate Meeting of Catholics, held in that city on Saturday. There is not much of a conciliatory spirit in the speeches; and the Address to the King agreed upon, which is very long, has some very violent passages. This is a much more alarming indication than the outrages of Cap- tain Rock, which may be referred to the intolerable misery produced hy excessive rents. The venerable, learned, and pious Doctor John Thomas Troy, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, died at his residence in Cavendish- row, on Saturday evening, after an illness of some weeks. He was a Bishop 47 years, filled the Metropolitan See 37, and his age was 83. HOUSE 01? COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Sir J. Sebright presented a Petition from the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, against the proposition for taking off the duty on Foreign Wool imported. The petitioner contended that the duty i - were his property, « fcd therefore the child was hi: two. Tui was worse than stealing slaves from Africa ; because then the man had had some enjoyment in his life, but the child, who had always been a slave, had none. He was quite sure that Gentlemen did not contemplate the extent of this crime, for he was convinced that when the day came in which the secrets of all hearts would be known — no Crime would be found so heinous as that of making slaves, and continuing the [ children in slavery. He was far, however, from wishing to make the slave of to- day the freeman of to- mor- roy. The sooner they got rid of the system the better ; but sla- very brutalized and made the man worthless; and we alleged that brutality as a reason for still keeping him in slavery ! He con- tended logically, that the planter had no title to the body of the black man because it was originally stolen, and sold to the slave merchant. In conclusion, he would say, tfiilt they owed an adop- tion of his plan to justice, to humanity, to Christianity, to the unanimous wish ofthe British nation ; but above all they owed it to the unhappy African, who had been robbed of liberty by civil wars fomented by British gold. For the tens and tens of thou- sands of men murdered in these midnight maraudings, stifled m the holds of slave- ships, & c. he rejoiced that they had in their power to make some atonement, and God grant that Ministers might be disposed to grant that atonement. Hethen moved, " that the state of slavery is repugnant to the principles of the British Constitu- tion and of the Christian Religion; and that it ought to be abo- lished gradually throughout the British Colonies, with as much ex- pedition as may be found consistent with a due regard to the well being ofthe parties concerned." Mr. Canning said, the appeal of the Hon. Gentleman made it necessary for him to state the opinions of the Government on this most fearful question, in which a rash word or an ardent expres sion might raise a flame which would not be easily extinguished 1 He did not say this to stifle discussion, but as a caution to those was necessary, as a protection for the British grower. He also con- tended, that the British Wool was quite equal to Foreign, and made cloth equally as good. In consequence of his making this assertion, he ( Sir J. Sebright) had suggested to him that he ought to make him a present of a piece of cloth manufactured from IJri- tish Wool, and he would have it made into a coat, in which he might appear to advantage to present the Petition to tiie House— ( Laughter.) Sir John had taken the hint, and presented him with a piece of cloth—( Hear I hear ! J— and he had kept his word by having it made into a coat, which coat he now had on ; and after having presented the Petition, he would retire, and remain for a time in the lobby, that Hon. Members might, by a close exami- nation of his garment, convince themselves whether or not the Pe- titioner had come to a right conclusion as to tile excellence of the cloth made from wool of his growth—( Hear ! hear 1 and laugh- ter. J — Petition read, and ordered to be printed. A number of Petitions were presented, praying for the Aboli- tion of the Slave Trade. Sir H. Parnell gave notice, that he would, on the 23d inst. move fcr the appointment of a Select Committee, to enquire into the na- ture and extent of the present Disturbances in Ireland. Mr. H. Davis presented a Petition from the Chamber of Com- merce of Bristol, praying for an Amendment in the Law relating to the power of Factors. IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS Sir T. Baring presented a Pe- tition from Mr. M'Adam, setting forth llis services in suggesting Plans for the Improvement of the Turnpike- Roads, and the ex- pellees he had been put to in carrying his experiments into effect, and praying the House to give him some remuneration— The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, if the Hon. Bart, should pur- sue the course of referring the Peti ion to a Committee, and the Committee should consider the 40UIV. already voted to him as in- adequate, it would ill become him to set himself pertinaciously against tiie wish of the House Mr. Curwen said, he was ready to acknowledge Mr. M'Adam's merit; but he feared if the public were to undertake to remunerate every meritorious man who might fail in bis speculation, they would have much to do— Mr. Ma- bel ley thought this gentleman's claims worthy of consideration. It should be known that Mr. M'Adam never took any thing for ad- vice given to individuals having the management of private roads. Vie had hud occasion to apply to him on behalf of a parish, and by the advice he had given, the parish would save a large sum. Yet Mr. M'Adam refused to take a farthing for the advice he had given-— Mr. Brougham thought, if Mr. M'Adam was thus giv- ing his advice to the public without a salary, he was entitled to consideration—("' No, no" front Mr. Peel.)—" Oil," said Mr. Brougham, " then lie has a salary."—( " Yes," from Mr. Peel.)— " So 1 thought." I do hot know how the Roman roads were made. The patriotism and public spirit of that people might in duce them to give their labour gratuitously, but I have never known any modern roads constructed on that principle. ( A laugh.)— Mr. Peel said, he should not have blamed Mr. M'Adam if lie had charged the Member for Abingdon a heavy fee for ad- vice. ( A laugh.) But he could not consent to pay Mr. M'Adam with public money for advice given to individuals—- After some further observations from other Members, the Petition was received. Lord Archibald Hamilton took the opportunity of the conversa- tion upon this Petition to complain of the failure of attendance in the House on the preceding evening, by which his motion on the state of Representation in Scotland had lapsed. He did not scru- ple to ascribe the absence of Members to tlie exertions of Ministe- rial agents— Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Mr. Goulburn, and the Lord Advocate of Scotland repelled the imputation, asserting each foi himself that he expected a House. BHEACII OF I'MVILEGE Mr. Williams then called the at- tention of the House to a paragraph in a Dublin Newspaper ( the Dublin Evening Mail),- professing to give tile substance of that part of the cross- examination of Mr. Barrett Wadden, which had been expunged from the Minutes of the Committee. After speak- ing in very strong terms of reprehension of the conduct of the printer of the paper in question, Air. Williams intimated his in- tention of summoning him to tile bar of the House Mr. C. Hut- chinson explained that the Reporter of the Dublin Evening Mail had dispatched his notes to Ireland before the wish to suppress the cross- examination of Wadden had been expressed Mr. Canning thought that this statement, confirmed as it was by the title " Se- cond Edition" on the Paper, proved the printer's ignorance of the pleasure of tile House.— Sir J. Newport endeavoured to negative this proof of ignorance by a reference to other passages in the Pa per.— Mr. Williams said, that observing that the feeling of the House was against such a course, he would not press the matter further, and the conversation dropped. SHERIFF OF DUBLIN The House then went into a Com- mittee upon this business. Mr. J. H. Moore was then called, for the purpose of explain- ing, that the punctual attendance of the Grand Jury arose out of the great interest and importance of the trials expected. Mr. Plunkett was next examined in his place. He admitted that at the trial of the ltibbon- mcn in November, several petty ju- rors were challenged, hut could not say whether Barrett Wadden, tlie witness, was of the number. He said, that the extracts from Orange books, of which he spoke on a former evening, had come into his hands subsequently to the riot in the Theatre. Mr. Graves was the next witness. He was at the Theatre at the time of the riot; but did not see the bottle thrown, and was ab- sent when the rattle was said to have been thrown. The rattle weighed about eight ounces. It was described, in one of the Al- manacks published by authority, as a heavy log of wood, and, in another, as a large piece of timber. The capital committals, he said, were not issued before the committing Magistrates, but upon notes of evidence taken at the Castle. The Grand Jury, upon in- formations, received his evidence with the utmost politeness, pa- tiencc, and respect. He had heard f a number of persons assem- who might speak in a more advanced stage of the debate, not to go into a colouring of statements which had been sketched with no light hand. Why did the Hon. Gent, find it necessary to speak ofthe delinquency of this country as to the treatment ofthe Afri- can ? He never intended to purchase the abolition of the Slave- trade by the indefinite continuance of slavery : but that, when the period should arrive, they would get rid of it without reference to what he wished lie could call the forgotten horrors of the British Slave- trade. He would, therefore, consider the Slave- trade as for- gotten and goaeby ; but he would not allow that Parliament could deal with this question as one of atonement, though the historian and the moralist might so treat it. It was impossible not to see that there were knots and difficulties to be untied , and surmounted before they could arrive at their object. The Hon. Gent, began by stating, that slavery was renugnaet to the British Constitution and the Christian Religion. God forbid that he should say other- wise ; but tlie proposition was not correctly true, for the British Constitution had admitted Slavery in some' of its dependencies. Let religion controul the conscience and regulate the altar; but he did not taken from Religion (,'. . true that it could not exist with Slavery ; for while it gilded tlie sceptre, it consoled the slate. It was therefore not true, that the Christian Religion was emphatically opposed toSlavery. He quoted Dr. Paley, to shew that tho' Slavery existed in all the countries of Europe when Christianity began, yet there was found in it no de- nunciation against Slavery. Still he held that both Christianity and the British Constitution were favourable to the gradual Abolition of Slavery ; and therefore it was that he was inclined to approve of much of what the Hon. Gent, had said, though he could not go the length of his proposition, which was so liable to miscontruction. If he was asked, if he contemplated the continuance of Slavery forever in the children of Slaves, he answered, distinctly, No ! But he was not inclined to go rapidly or rashly to the work; nor would lie con- sent to the destruction of much valuable property. He thought it bet- ter to leave the matter in the hands of the Executive Government; and with that view he had prepared certain Resolutions instead of those proposed by the Hon. Mover. He should, like the Hon. Gent, wish to abolish the degrading punishment of whipping females, and to grant one day in the week to instruction or innocent amusement. He agreed in thinking that property of negroes should be secured ; that they should have the liberty of bequest; and that it might be desirable to get rid of the writ ne venditioni exponas. The only question 4vas, whether it would not be better to go into this discus- sion and enquiry without any angry or retrospective feeling, which might produce much ill- blood in other places; and lie emphati- IThe undersigned THOMAS WOOD, having insulted Mr. WILLIAM Tyler, of Rookwoods, without provocation, do hereby beg hu Pardon, THOS.

He then read the following Resolutions, which lie proposed as an Amendment to those of the Hon. Mover: " That it is expedient to adopt effectual and decisive measures for meliorating the condition of the slave population in his Majesty's do- minions That through a determined and persevering, but at the same time judicious and temperate, enforcement of sueli measures, this House looks forward to a progressive improvement in the charac- ter of the slave population, such as may prepare them for a participa- tion in those civil rights and privileges which are enjoyed by other classes of his Majesty's subjects That this House is anxious for the accomplishment of that purpose, at the earliest period which shall be compatible with the well- being of the Slaves themselves, with the safety of the Colonies, and with a fair and equitable consideration of ttie interests of private property— That these Resolutions be laid be- fore his Majesty." Mr. Wilberforce said, his Hon. Friend had complained of no- thing which the Right Hon. Gent, had not agreed it was neces- sary to abolish. Their object was to abolish working on Sundays and Sunday markets. Whatever danger they might have to ap- prehend from a discussion of this question, it was not equal to the long continuance of slavery in the West Indies. He believed that the conversion of the Slaves into a free peasantry, would be as much to the advantage of the Planters as .0 the Slaves ; but this must be enquired into with a view to ascertaining the imme- diate effect which it would produce upon property. He would prefer this being done by the Colonial Legislatures, if he could expect that they would lend themselves to the work. He hoped, therefore, that his Right Hon. Friend would take care, and not suffer himself to be trifled with, in the ameliorations which should be determined to be made in the condition of these poor Negroes, who were nevertheless his Majesty's liege subjects, and as well entitled to the protection of Government as any others, Mr. Bright defended the conduct of the West India Proprie- tors, and contended that they were anxiously employed in endea- vouring to improve the condition of their Slaves. He stated that manumissions in the respective islands had of late years greatly increased. The Colonial Legislators had paid every attention to the recommendation of the Crown in 1816. Mr. Brougham bore testimony to the sincerity of Mr. Canning in his efforts for the abolition of the Slave- trade. But he lamented that no provisions were made for carrying the Resolutions into ef- fect ; and therefore feared that what was now held out to their adoption, would produce but little effect: but even the little it would give, he would gladly acccpt, strongly urging his Hon. Friend, at no very distant day, to bring forward a motion for fix- ing a specific day for the emancipation of Negro Children. Mr. Ellis, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. Sykes, Mr. Marryatt, Mr. Bernal, Mr. Baring, and Lord Althorpe, likewise took part in the debate on this important question. Mr. Buxton replied, and consented, after what had been stated by the Right Hon. Gent, to withdraw his motion : which was done, and the Resolutions of Mr. Canning adopted— Adjourned. MARKET CHRONICLE.

To a lover of the picturesque, it offers such an opportunity as seldom occurs. Its woods, ( which abound in nightingales,) run parallel with the Wye, and are intersected by wailts, which, with every part of the property, command the most romantic and delightful views; and its timber renders it highly de- sirable as an investment.

The other Orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourn- ed at one o'clock. THURSDAY.— Numerous Petitions were presented, pray- ing for the gradual Abolition of Slavery ; and Mr. Baring sub- mitted a Petition fiom th Agents for West India Colonies, calling on the House to act with the greatest caution in the discussion of this very important question. This Petition was most respectably signed ; and the Petitioners declared that they were most ready to co operate with Parliament in any plan which might be proposed for ameliorating the condition of the Slaves. Mr. J. Smith moved for the appointment of a Committee to en- quire into the state of the laws at present existing relative to the uifferent situations of Principal and Factor, as regarded goods con- signed by'the former to the latter— A Committee was appointed. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY M-. F. Buxton said, he rose for the purpose of bringing forwaid his promised motion on this sub- ject. He should proceed to the intended object, which was nothing less than the extinction of slavery throughout the British domini- ons, not at once, nor rapidly, but cautiously and gradually. The principle on which they proposed to act was, that 110 more children should be made slaves. In this way the number of slaves would decrease every year. This was not a new or speculative theory; for 30 years ago New York was a Slave State ; there the very prin- ciple of law which he was advocating was introduced ; and with- out any convulsion whatever slavery had gradually and impercep- tibly melted away. The same had taken place in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and others of the United States. He contended that this principle acted quietly and without any noise or convulsion. His antagonists maintained the contrary ; but this principle had succeeded wherever it had been tried, as in Ceylon, Bencoolen, St. Helena, and the Colonies of South America, He would put it on this— What right had the British Government to cause a child to eat the bitter bread, and do the bitter work, of slavery ? The only answer to that was, tlie ridiculous one, that the father and mother I 6 0 0 19 0 0 18 0 30s. fid. to 35s. Od. 1 25s. Od. to 29s. Od. | Quarter.

Reginald Heber, D. D. to tbe Bishopric of Calcutta, void by the death of Dr. T. F. Middleton— Gazette. This morning an express was received from Paris, bring- ing the papers anil letters of Thursday. The news from the French Army in Spain, is extremely vague and contradictory. Mina, • who at one period was stated to be " cut off," has now opened to himself a free passage to Berga, and indeed to any part of Catalo- nia or Arragon 1 The private accounts intimate, that the 1 rench Minister of Finance has evinced some degree of alarm at the ex- pence of the war. Letters received this morning from Malta state that a corvette which had arrived there in live days from Corfu, brought information that Patras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. A terrible volcanic eruption took place in December last, in the Island of Java. Four villages were burnt and two buried; but only fifteen persons lost their lives, the great body of the in- habitants having had time to escape.

M'Cleod was killed, were tried and found guilty of Manslaughter, at the Old Bailey. In the Housr. of COMMONS, last night, a Bill for lega- lising, generally, the saleof beer, was introduced by Mr. Brougham, and read twice. Mr. Goulburn moved the order of the dav for the second read- ing of the Irish Tithe Composition Bill— Mr. V. Fitzgerald op- posed the Bill, as, by estimating the equivalent, to be bestowed on the Clergy on the dormant right, instead of the actual receipt, it would greatly increase their income— Mr. Goulburn defended the principle of the Bill, though he admitted that its details were open to considerable improvement, which he hoped they would receive in the Committee Mr. Wetherell objected to the compulsory cha- racter of the measure, which, as changing the condition cf the Clergy from territorial proprietors to pensioners of the Crown, would inflict a fatal wound upon the dignity and independence of the united Churches; and, as a violation of Ecclesiastical property, would go to shake tbe foundation of all property in whatever hands. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Wednesday. Both Houses adjourned last night over the Whitsun holidays— the Commons till Wednesday, and the Lords till Thursday. STOCK EXCHANGE, One o'Clock Consols, which opened this morning at 7 « |, soon after lowered to 78J|. in consequence, it is asserted, of the operations of General Mina being likely to pro- crastinate the war.

We are informed, that the intended Petition of the County of Monmouth for a Reform in Parliament, is postponed only on account of the advanced state of the Session. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY— We learn from a correspon- dent, that the Lord Bishop of this Diocese, in presenting Petitions to the House of Lords, on Wednesday last, from this City, and other places in the County, in favour of the mitigation and general Abolition of Slavery in the British Colonies, expressed himself nearly to the following effect: His Lordship stated, that, in presenting Petitions, which pro- ceeded from some of the most considerable and important districts of the County with which he was connected, and which had the authority of numerous and most respectable signatures, he could not help seizing the opportunity of declaring his hearty concur- rence in the object of the Petitioners, and his earnest desire for its accomplishment. But, in his opinion, the continued existence of Slavery, in any part of the British Empire, could not but be con- sidered as a blot upon the fair fame of this country, and singularly inconsistent with the, spirit of the declarations and actions of the Legislature. That the ablest opponents of the Abolition of the Slave Trade bad ever maintained, that the gradual emancipation of those already in bondage, was a just arid necessary consequence of such abolition. That he could not allow himself to doubt of the general consent of their Lordships to any prudent and well digest- ed measure for the attainment of this highly important end. That , the diversity of political sentiment, so often and so naturally found in men actuated by. the same wish to promote the benefit and ho- nour of their country, would assuredly be for a season hushed in- to silence ; and all would lend their aid to deliver and redeem that country from a reproach and a calamity to which it nrast no longer' be subject. His Lordship added, that he should only express his hope that, in the general purport, and in the detail of the measure to fee adopted, the following points might be studiously kept in view— First, that Whilst every due and consistent degree of careful attention should be paid to the interests and safety of the Proprie- tors, the least possible dependance might be placed upon the dis- position of the Colonial Legislatures to promote, or even to secure, the execution of the measure— the least possible opening left to the operation of that reluctance to improve the condition of the slaves-, of which the sad experience, and the frequent disappoint- ments,. of the last thirty years, have fully convinced every candid and reflecting mind. Secondly, the indispensable duty and pro- priety of providing for the universal education of the slaves in the first principles of morality and Christianity. That this alone could make liberty a boon of unalloyed benefit, and render the poor Afri- can not only a partaker of the privileges, but a contributor to the welfare, of each British Community in the West Indies. That, for this purpose, the most suitable and effectual step would obvi- ously be, to give to the West, as we have given to the East Indies, the full advantages of a Church Establishment, in the residence of a Superintendant, in additional and appropriate Ministerial aid, and in the institution of Schools upon tlie National System— His Lordship concluded by saying, that lie had ventured'this sugges- tion, under the conviction that his Noble Friends who were mem- bers' of his Majesty's Government, would be most able, as, no doubt, they were fully disposed, to introduce the measure to which he had alluded, in the shape and manner most jik'ely '. t'O effect the object. That Ire had to apologize for troubling their Lordships with the sentiments of an individual who had so slight a claim upon their attention ; but. that as he took a deep interest in the object, and as, in consequence of his necessary absence upon official busi- ness, he should have no future opportunity, during this Session, of expressing his opinion, he indulged tlie hope that they would excuse this trespass upon their time. The decision of the above important question in the House of Commons, is stated in our 2d page.

Baybell, laden with Navy timber, for the Royal Dock- yard at. Milford, was lost in the River Severn, on the Sands, near Arlingham. She was lying aground at Hamstalls, waiting the flood- tide, which set up with such amaz- ing force, that, as soon as the vessel floated, she dragged her an- chor, although moored with her best bower and chain- cable, and was ultimately forced on the Sands on the opposite shore. As soon as she touched the ground,- she upset; and such was the violence with . which she capsized, that her masts and yards were immersed and partially broken off in the Sands, and some of the timber on deck was snapped short by getting entangled with the hull on her rolling over. The crew were fortunately saved by taking to the tow- boat. On the return of the ebb- tide, by lightening the vessel and clearing away her rigging, she righted again, with the appear- ance of having sustained much less damage than might have been expected under sue?) untoward circumstances. The cargo has been unloaded and secured ; and the brig, it is expected, will be got off and repaired. We are authorized to contradict a paragraph which ap- peared in our last, copied from the Cheltenham Chronicle, of the 8th inst. 44 ( being both illiberal and erroneous,) concerning, the Wi- dow of William Perrott, late of that, town ; who, the Proprietors of the above Paper thought proper to assert, ' is now left with an in- fant family, and in great poverty?' She only wishes to. observe, that it is totally false ; therefore, in hopes to secure a respectable livelihood, which she has ever been accustomed to, she wants for nothing to strengthen her endeavours, but the good opinion of a generous public." ' The apple trees in Herefordshire present the flattering promise of a full blossom, and an abundant produce is confidently anticipated- by the most competent judges ; income situations the trees are already in full blOom, and they are generally healthy and free from insects. The pear trees are deficient iu blossom. We are sorry to. hear complaints of the bad appearance of the wheat in many parts, of this county ; in- some, places the ravages of the wire- worm have been most destructive, and one farmer in the neigh- bourhood of this city has ploughed up one, if not two, fields of wheat, to sow barley, in consequence of the devastation of his crop by these '. worms—- it is the present opinion of experienced agricul- turists, that in this county there will not be two- thirds of a crop of wheat. The barley looks well at present, but the grass is back- ward, and many farmers are inconvenienced for want of keep for their stock— Hereford Journal.

[ From " FABLES of Ihe HOLY ALLIANCE.""] I SAW it all in Fancy's glass— Herself, tiie fair, the wild magician, That bid this splendid day- dream pass, And nam'd each gliding apparition. ' Twas like a torch- race— sucli as they Of Greece perform'd, in ages gone, When the fleet youths, in long array, Passed the bright torch triumphant on. I saw th' expectant nations stand, To catcli the coming flame in turn— 1 saw, from ready hand to hand, The clear, but struggling glory burn. And, oh! their joy, as it came near, ' Twas in itself a joy to see— While Fancy wbisper'd in my ear, " That torch they pass is Liberty 1" And each, as she received the flame, Lighted her altar with its ray, Then, smiling to the next who came, Speeded it on its sparkling way. From ALBION first, whose antient shrine Was furiiish'd with the fire already, COLUMBIA caught the spark divine, And lit a flame, like ALBION'S steady. The splendid gift then GALLIA took, And, like a wild Bacchante, raising The brand aloft, its sparkles shook, As she would set the world a- blazing. And when she fired her altar, high It flash'd into the redd'ning air So fierce, that ALBION, who stood nigh, Shrunk, almost blinded by the glare ! Next, STAIN, so new was light to her, Leap'd at the torch— but, ere the spark She flung upon lier shrine could stir, ' Twas quench'd— and all again was dark. Yet, no— not quench'd— a treasure, worth So much to mortals, rarely dies— Again her living light look'd forth, And shone, a beacon, in all eyes. Who next received the flame ? alas Unworthy NAPLES— shame of shame-, That ever through such hands should pass' That brightest of all earthly flames! Scarce had her lingers touch'd the torch, When frightened by the sparks it shed, Nor waiting e'en to feel the scorch, She dropp'd it to the earth— and fled. And fall'n it might have long remained, But GREECE, who saw her moment now, ' Caught up the prize, though prostrate, stain'd, And wav'd it round her beauteous brow. And Fancy bid me mark where, o'er Her altar as its flame ascended, Fair, laurel'd spirits seem'd to soar, Who thus in song their voices blended. tk Shine, shine for ever, glorious flame, " Divinest gift of GOD to men ! " From GREECE thy earliest splendour came, " To GREECE thy ray returns again. " Take, Freedom, take thy radiant round, " When dimm'd, revive, when lost, return ; " Till not a shrine through earth be found, " On which thy glories shall not burn P' HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Warehous- ing, the Merchants' Vessels' Apprentices, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal Bills. A Message from the House of Commons brought up the Irish and British Union Duties Bill, the Justices of Quorum Bill, and others, which were read a first time. Earl Grosvenor presented a Petition from Shaftesbury against Negro Slavery in the West Indies. However the country might differ on other subjects, on this great question it was perfectly agreed, and their Lordships must be anxious to remove the mo- ral restraints of Slavery ; and he hoped that a Bill would soon be brought before them to effect its gradual abolition— Ordered to lie on the table. Earl Grey, in moving for some papers explanatory of the cap- ture of a Spanish ship by the Jean Bart, and of the military pre- parations in progress upon the Continent of Europe, delivered an extremely long answer to Mr. Canning's speech in tiie House of Commons, and vindicated the consistency of his own wishes ' to succour Spain now, with his confessions of despair for the Penim sula in 1809.— The Earl of Liverpool replied, as to the affair* of the'Jean Bart, that the French Government had received no in- formation upon the subject; and that he had understood from English . naval officers in the West India seas, that the Spanish vessel was the aggressor. With regard to the military prepara- tions of Russia and Austria, he said, that whatever inferences these preparations might afford, they were such as could not be ques- tioned by any foreign state; and in allusion to Earl Grey's con- duct in 1809, he persisted in the assertion, that that conduct was calculated to u throw cold water" upon the efforts made for the emancipation of Spain Lords Holland and Ellenborough urged the necessity of adopting the cause of Spain.— The motion was negatived without a division— Adjourned. TUESDAY.— The Quorum Magistrates' Bill and the Union Duties Bill were severally read a second time. MARRIAGE LAWS The Archbishop of Canterbury brought up the Report of the Committee on the Marriage Laws. The Re- port being read, went on to recommend an abolition of the unne- cessary forms imposed by the recent law. It advises publication of banns as heretofore, according to the old form ; and that banns be allowed to be published, and marriages solemnized, in the va- rious chapels and churches situated in different parts of parishes, under the controul and regulation of the mother church. It re- commends the same system as had been observed with respect to licenses; but that which had most occupied the attention of the Committee, and which had appeared to them the most difficult part of the subject was, as to the adoption of a proper law respect- ing the marriage of minors. They are of opinion that it is indis- pensable that parents should have the controul over their children; and in cases of clandestine marriages by minors, that parents should have the power of commencing a suit, and setting aside such mar- riages, on proper proof of their having been improperly obtained; provided they brought such suit within twelve months after the solemnization of the marriage. The Committee had not failed to consider the subject in reference to Roman Catholics, as well as to Unitarians and other Dissenters: but they thought it best not to propose any alteration in respect to them, considering that the law, as applicable to them, would be best regulated as a subject dis- tinct from the present, and upon any representation that might be respectively made by them to Parliament. The Report in con- clusion recommended the adoption of a strict law to provide against marriages by persons who were not in holy orders.— Ordered to bo printed. " V Lord Ellenborough rose to disclaim any participation ih that part of the Report relative to nullifying the marriage of minors. A clause of that nature when proposed to be introduced into the present Bill, had been negatived by nearly an unanimous vote£ f the House. Such an enactment was pregnant with the most mis- chievous consequences, holding out a temptation to profligate" mi- nors to obtain possession of the persons of women, and exposing the weaker and the innocent party to irreparable ruin.' When this Bill came before the House he should oppose such a clause by every legal and Parliamentary means. The Archbishop of Canterbury then presented a Bill founded upon the Report, wiiich was read a first time, and ordered to be printed and read a second time after the holidays. The Earl of Shaftesbury presented a Petition from S. Thornton, Governor of the Russian Company, praying for a law declaratory of the validity of marriages solemnized betwixt British subjects in Russia Lord Stowell opposed the prayer of the Petition as un- necessary. Such marriages had been always held to be equally legal with those solemnized in this country, and no declaratory law could add to their validity— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. Mr. Jarvis presented a Petition from the county of Hants, praying for Reform, Retrenchment, and Reduction of Taxation. On moving that the Petition should be brought up and read, Sir T. Baring seconded the bringing up the Petition. In all the prayers of it he concurred, except one ; that was, that which re- commended that part of the revenues of the Clergy should be ap- plied to the use of the State. He could not agree that the Clergy were overpaid, and he believed that in many instances the Clergy had made very considerable sacrifices— Mr. Curwen adverted to the Agricultural Distress, and observed, he thought the Fund- holder ought to pay his fair proportion of the burthens of the State. — Mr. Ricardo defended the l'undholder; who, he contended, had made his full proportion of sacrifices. He adverted to the rise which had taken place in the price of agricultural produce; and contended, that much mischief arose from our Corn Laws, which called loudly for revision.— Mr. Rennet denied that there was any thing satisfactory to be found in the present state of Ag- riculture. The present rise in the price of agricultural produce, arose from the fact of tile stock on hand having diminished. Any one who really expected that wheat would ever, in the present state of our currency, sustain a price above 45s. deceived himself; and if he entered into any contract, having for its basis such an expec- tation, he would find himself disappointed, and perhaps ruined—. Mr. Mantle agreed in what had been said as to the deceitful state of the market for agricultural produce. He agreed in many parts of the Petition, but must dissent from that which related to the Clergy. H e did not consider the Church of England as being too well paid,- therefore he could not agree that any of its revenues should be taken for tlie relief of the State. He thought, however, that those livings in the gift of the Crown ought to be sold ; by this means a large sum would be raised for the relief of the Pub- lic, the ' influence of the Crown would be diminished, and the Church be rendered more independent than it is at present.— Sir T. Lethbridge thought funded property, like all other property, should be made subject to pay its fair proportion to the Poor Laws. The system of Poor Laws was at present ruinous, and called more loudly than any other subject for the interference of the House— The Petition was ordered to be printed. violent outcry had been raised against him. This proposition for tlie abolition'of slavery, under a specious pretext, made a still more flagitious attack upon the property of individuals who had been encouraged by Parliament to embark their property in West In- dia estates Mr. Mansfield said, the Petitioners were ready to bear their full proportion in any expence which the measure, if carried, might bring on the Public, in the shape of compensation— Mr. Baring deprecated these discussions as extremely mischievous and dangerous, as regarded the slaves themselves— Petition received. Mr. ./. Smith presented a Petition from a Body of Merchants of the City of London, praying for an alteration in the law which would not allow the Agent to pledge the goods of his Principal— Mr. Scarlett defended the law as it at presept stood. By law a Factor had the power of selling goods consigned to him, but he was restrained from pledging these goods ; or, if he did, the Prin- cipal had his remedy against the Pawnee. This was the law of Foreign States as well as of England. It was the law laid down in the Code Napoleon, a composition which would do more to im- mortalize the name of the individual who composed it than all bis victories would do. The law which the Petitioners now sought to repeal, was one founded on strict justice—- Mr. Baring said, this was a subject of very great importance. The law, as it now stood, had frequently been the subject of complaint, and, he thought, called for alteration and amendment. He hoped his Hon. Friend would persevere, and ultimately ask for leave to bring in a Bill founded on this Petition Mr. Huskisson agreed that this Peti- tion related to a subject of ver'y great importance, and the opinions which bad been given by his two Hon. Friends— the one as to the law, and the other as to the fact, of the case,, were each deserving of the most serious consideration. H e thought the Petition should be referred to a Committee above stairs, where it might be consi- dered. whether this law might not be so altered as to prevent frauds being practised, and yet'to do away the hardships of which the merchant at present complained— The Petition was then laid on the table and ordered to be printed. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT— Mr. Goulburn bad formerly expressed a hope- that lie would not have to propose to the House the renewal of the Irish Insurrection Act. That opinion he had founded on the judgment of men most conversant with the state of Ireland ; but he lamented to say, that in that hope be had been disappointed. He had also to state, with deep regret, that in some parts of the country there was a general combination of the pea- santry against the law, and all the distinction of private property. That was the more a matter of surprise and concern, after the liberality that had been shown to Ireland by the people of this country. Such a law he would never recommend as the permanent law of any country ; but he trusted the House would not withhold a power indispensably necessary in the present state of Ireland. The Insurrection Act seemed best adapted to meet the case. That Act commanded the residence of the individual in his house during the whole of the night. But it should be remembered that most of the atrocities were committed during the night; and though a mea- sure of severity, it was, at the same time, one of effectual preven- tion. By means of this Act the counties of Clare and Tipperary had been restored to a state of comparative tranquillity. He had been anxious to avoid all conflict of opinion, as whatever might have been the cause of the disturbances, all must admit that they ought as speedily as possible to be put down. ( Hear ! hear I) He concludcd by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Insurrection Act for a time to be limited— Lord Althorpe could no longer keep silence, as, year after year, the same measures had been resorted to, and had as uniformly failed. It was the duty of the House to adopt other means. From the system of Government that had been adopted with regard fo that country, Ireland had been a source of weakness rather than of strength to this country. He therefore moved, as an amendment, a series of resolutions, con- demning the use of coercive measures, and pledging the House to take into consideration the state of the laws in Ireland, and the ad- ministration of them Mr. J. Smith imputed the disorders and miseries of Ireland to a defective system of education in that king- dom. He supported the amendment, as did also Mr. Robertson. Sir N. Colthurst complained of the inadequacy of the Insurrection Act, and suggested the necessity of empowering t'ne Government to place the'disturbed districts under martial law— Lord A. Ha- milton supported the amendment, and observed somewhat sharply upon the inconsistency of the Attorney General of Ireland, appear- ing as one of the Ministers who proposed a measure which, within six years, he had stigmatized as unconstitutional and oppressive. — Mr. Plunkett defended his consistency, by showing, that tho' he had spoken hardly of the measure in the intermediate time, when in power before he had drawn up a Bill in all respects si- milar Sir J. Newport, Mr. S. Rice, and Mr, P. Moore, sup- ported the amendment; and Messrs. V. Fitzgerald, Peel, and Bccher, the original motion. The House then divided— For the original motion 162, for the amendment 82 ; majority for the original motion 80.— The other orders of the day were then read, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY.— At fburo'clock there being only twenty- four Members present, the House adjourned without doing any business. Mr. A. Campbell presented a Petition from the body of West India Planters, resident in London, against the proposed Aboli- tion of Slavery in the British Colonies, which the Petitioners re- presented as a measure pregnant with mischief to the public, and as an attempt to invade private property.— Ordered to be printed. Sir J. Graham presented a Petition, very numerously signed, from Carlisle, praying for the Abolition of Slavery.— Sir /. Coffin said, the House had had several Petitions laid on their table, some' praying tor the immediate, and some for the gradual, abolition, but not one which said a word about compensation for those who were to be ruined in their property by this measure. There had been meetings in Norfolk, and in Hants, at which a person had proposed to plunder the Clergyman and the Fundholder, and a BURNING OF HINDOO WIDOWS.— A County Meeting was lately held in the Shire- Hall, Bedford, convened by the High Sheriff, for taking into consideration the expediency of addressing Parliament on the subject of burning Hindoo widows alive on the funeral- piles of their husbands, The practice in question was strongly and feelingly animadverted upon, as violating the best feelings of humanity, as well as some of the most solemn com- mands of religion ; and the incompatibility of a Christian Govern- ment tolerating its continuance from year to year, when the num- ber of immolations was computed, at the lowest calculation, to exceed two thousand annually, was earnestly enforced; while facts and testimonies were adduced, tending to prove, that, from the success which bad attended the putting down of infanticide, or the sacrifice of children, by Marquis Wellesley ( formerly Governor- General), the prohibition of burying widows alive among the Jo- gee tribes, and the abolition of the practice of burning in many provinces by the Mahomedan and Portuguese Governments, no just ground of alarm could exist for humanely interposing to rescue the poor Hindoo widow from the devouring flame. The fact of the sacrifice being voluntary, to the extent supposed, or of its originating in their religious laws, was also controverted. It appears that in the Institutes of Menon, the most ancient law given among the Hindoos, the ceremony is not even alluded to, and that in the Shaster the practice is permitted not enjoined; and tiiat it results more from Brahminical influence, and. the selfish motives of interested relatives, than from the supposed injunctions of high religious authorities. The testimony of Dr. Buchanan was brought forward, as evincing the practicability, as well as obligation, of putting an end to this barbarous and inhuman prac- tice. A Petition to Parliament, founded on these views, was then submitted to the Meeting by the Rev. Mr. Grimshawe, and se- conded by John Foster, Esq. still leaving to the wisdom of Par- liament tlie choice of the best mode of accomplishing this humane object. An opposition was, however, made to the Petition, and an amendment proposed by the Rev. Dr. Hunt, which was sub- sequently withdrawn; and t'ne Petition then unanimously adopted by a Meeting more crowded than was ever known upon any pre- ceding occasion, the Hall being filled from one end to the other, and the popular feeling throughout the whole discussion strikingly and powerfully evinced. The Duke of Bedford and the Marquis of Tavistock were prevented from attending by illness ; ahd let- ters or communications were received from Lord Grantham, the Lord Lieutenant, Mr. Pym, and the two Mr. Whitbreads, all ex- pressive of unqualified approbation of tiie benevolent principle which sought to terminate so inhuman a practice, though some of them differed as to what might be deemed the most advisable mode .-. of effecting the object. SUTTEE; OR SELF IMMOLATION OF A HINDOO WI- DOW.— The following account of one of these dreadful sacrifices is extracted from the letter of an English Officer, who superintend- ed the ceremony he describes,— dated Burdwan, Oct. 18 : " In my present situation it falls to my. lot to preside over the execution of criminals, and also over those horrible exhibitions peculiar to this country, of a widow burning herself on the funeral pile of her dead husband; and as the authentic account of such a scene may be interesting, I send you a short description of a sut- tee at which I was lately present in my new character of presiding officer. The day before it took place ( as is customary) a report came from the police of the widow's intention to burn herself if the magistrate gave his permission. On. the principle of religious toleration this is always given ; the magistrate is allowed to argue, and to endeavour to dissuade the woman from her purpose, but cannot absolutely forbid it, unless under certain circumstances, such as when it is not perfectly voluntary on her part. Myself and several friends went to her house, and did all we could to turn her from her design,' but she answered only by quoting her bible, in which she observed, it is written, The widow who burns her- self with her husband's body enjoys happiness with him in Hea- ven." Having thus failed in our entreaties, which are, indeed, usually to no purpose, we ordered a guard to watch, and take care that she bad no opium or intoxicating drugs given her, and that she went to her death in her senses, at least as much so as she could be under the influence of such extraordinary fanaticism. The next morning at day- break, we proceeded to the ground appro- priated to the ceremony, where the woman had just arrived in a rude sort of car, carricd on men's shoulders, and accompanied by the barbarous music of her country. She seemed quite uncon- cerned at the preparations for the horrid sacrifice she was about to perform. For my part, when I looked at the . pile on which lay her husband's dead body, the faggots, her nearest relations with firebrands lighting the pile, the victim dressed and adorned with flowers, the whole scene appeared to me as a frightful vision : I could hardly persuade myself of its reality. I spoke to her once more ( being a high- caste woman, she spoke the Hindoostanee lan- guage), and represented to her the horrible death she was about to suffer, and the long time she must continue in tile most dreadful agony. I urged to her that it was no sudden or easy death by which she wa" to reach Paradise, but a protracted course of tor ture. She heard me out with calmness, thanked me for my in- tentions, which she admitted were good, but again repeated her intention so decidedly as to preclude any hope of saving her. I felt iler pulse, and it was- far calmer than my own at the moment I am writing. Mrs. E. ( of whom I have often made honourable mention) thinking her persuasions, as one of her own sex, might avail, then went up to the wretched victim, and in the most earnest manner tried to dissuade her. She offered her a pension for life, and an honourable asylum in tiie Company's territories. Among other inducements, intending it probably as an appeal to female vanity, Mrs. E. said that she should be made a lady of, and have a palanquin to ride ; she immediately answered, pointing to the pile, " ce humara pulkee hy— that is my palanquin." The victim then performed- various ceremonies, and prepared herself to jump on the pile, which was blazing to receive iter. The flames bad arisen to a great height, and they were feeding them with tar and faggots. I then addressed her for tile last time; told, her no force should be used to keep her ill the fire, but conjured her, if her re- solution failed, to jump out and run to me ; that I was surround- ed by my police- men, and that I would bear her away from her cruel relations to a place of safety, where they should never see her more. Her resolution was not to be shaken. She then dis- tributed flowers and sweatmeats, gave me a piece of her dress, and having danced three times round the pile, threw herself in. At that moment the people shouted, the drums and native music struck up, and if she uttered any cries I heard them not. She re- solutely sat in the fire, apparently alive, for two or three minutes, but moved only her hands occasionally. Such is the description of a dreadful act that takes plac^ every day." THRATRICAL REMINISCENCES. Kemble, the great John Kemble, is gone— gone for. ever! Miss O'Neill is passed from the bright stage to the serene and happier shades of domestic life ! Mrs. Siddons has laid aside her golden crown, and stepped from the throne of tragedy, never more to sway us again ! for, alas ! we critics were swayed by her 1 These great names are now only names ! We not only never see them on the stage, upholding grandeur and sorrow, with surprising Majesty, butwemiss them every where! The three " great ones of the City" seem lost utterly ! A few of our old favourites sometimes cross our path — Bannister, with his dark eyes and manly face, drags feebly by us occasionally, pulling a pestilent gout painfully over the pavement; and now and then we glimpse Miss Farren— for her ladyship still has that title in her own right! But where is Munden ? We almost ask after him with the same hesitating ter- ror that attends Macduff's enquiries about his children. Where is he ? He is not at Drury- lane we too well know ; for Sir Peter Teazle, Dozey, Cockleton, Old Dornton, Marall, all languish for his presence 1 He is not about; for we do not meet his compact little person, married to an umbrella, as we were oft so wont to meet it 1 If we could hear that he was well, we would " seek to know no more!" Certain it is, that great have been the tragic losses to the stage within a very few years. In the departure— the final departure of Mrs. Siddons, tragedy lost its finest representa- tive— a representative which we are warranted in . saying will never again be met with. Her personal qualifications for the highest tragic characters, were of the very finest nature. The dark, full, lighted eye— not quick, dancing, merrily- lustrous— but deep, si- lent, dreaming— intense— looking awful things— rolling in the portentous light of fate! Her fair capacious forehead— her sta- tue- like features— her majestic person: graceful, and yet not so graceful as grand ! In the haughty pride of such parts as Queen Katharine and Volumnia, her attitude seemed more- like the carved beauty of marble— more the majesty of Grecian sculpture, than that of the living breathing form of woman. She was destined to personate tragedy— to embody the high creations of the loftiest tragic genius, and to realize and even heighten tlie wild imagina- tions of poesy ! When Mrs. S. left the stage, death' fell amongst a cluster of lofty characters ; as though some fatality, some plague were raging in the drama's world. Lady Macbeth perished from her Whispered murders and perilous dreams— the Lady Constance was released from earthly trouble— Bclvidera was no longer to be- tray her husband into safety, and lay bare the wheel on which Pierre was to be racked— Volumnia died away from all her Ro- man greatness; all these, and many more perished with Mrs. Sid- dons ; and have now been too long gone to allow us a hope of re- covering them. Miss O'Neill was a different creature entirely from Mrs. Sid- dons ; but though she could not ascend into " the loftiest heaven of invention," no other person could so well as Miss O'Neill re- present the tender, trusting, sorrowing woman ; reposing on tiie gentleness of her own heart, and softening all other hearts with the sensibilities of her own. As Mrs. Siddons was all energy, fire, high passion, poetry ! so Miss O'Neill was all sweetness, simpli- city, melting pathos ! In such characters as Mrs. Ilaller, Isabella, Juliet, Desdemona— wherein love reigns in joy or in sorrow, she could not be surpassed ; though, indeed, in Isabella we missed the terror, the truth, and the passion which Mrs. Siddons hurled into the part. When Miss O'Neill left the stage, she left no one to succeed her : but she- did trot leave us without a hope, or an ex- pectation, of yet seeing some one who would take her place. Her marriage seemed the- natural consequence of her style of acting ; and we could not be sitrpiifeti" that so much softness, tenderness, and beauty should carry fier' to a wedded life. Mrs. Siddons's secession left a void which never, can be filled— for it is the trick of true genius to make creations which ' can never, be copied to the life. Perhaps in the death of John Kemble, which lias taken place so recently that his knell yet seems ringing in the hearts of those who prized liim, the stage lost not only one of its finest ac- tors, but one of its most useful supporters. He was equally great,, both before the scenes, arid behind them. To hi. ro it is chiefly ow- ing, that we. see the classical plays of Shakespeare, so nobly ar- rayed in the correct costume of the age which they were written to perpetuate. Kemble not only piayeel Coriolanus to perfection; he caused all around him to look and act their parts, so as to make the whole, one well harmonized picture. When again shall we see such a performer ? When again shall we see such chastened vigour— such commanding dignity— such stern affecting power ! In Hamlet he seemed divided between sorrow and philosophy : in Brutus he stood like a living struggling country, over which ruin seemed impending : in Macbeth, tor stubborn ambition and wear- ing remorse, he had no equal. His Hotspur was a noble piece of gallant impetuosity, and his Pierre a fine rougli sketch of the sol- dier and the revolutionist, which no one who had seen it, could ever forget. Mr. Kemble was, however, most at home in parts of severe, patient grief, or thought— and in the slow delineation of hopeless love, he almost broke the hearts of those around him. What could surpass( his severe looks and broken tones in Penrud- doek ? In every glance— in every sound— you were reminded of happiness betrayed— love , poisoned— and hope destroyed 1 His lofty bearing was finely contrasted with his common apparel; and his presence " seemed to dare you to forget." Mr. KemMe's re- presentation of the Stranger ( a character from which we rather think Penruddock was taken) was equally rqnarkable for its se- verity and pathos. Men shed tears. before his broken heart! Other actors, of superiority in certain qualities, and in certain characters, have arisen, and may still arise, to tread the stage which lie so proudly trod : but we despair of ever seeing his equal, as a tragedian and a manager— as the representative of Roman pride and power, and the delineator of baffled passion and stern- subdu- ing grief. He was at once a man of high intellect— a scholar— and a gentleman ; and, being such, the lovers of the stage cannot easily lose him from their memory. EARTHQUAXE AT VALPARAISO.—( Further Particu- lar s.)— On the 19th of November, at forty minute's, past ten at night, we bad a very violent earthquake, which came on so sud- denly, that the family with whom I was sitting, could scarcely get to the door, when the house, and walls of two feet thick, began to fall. In one moment, the place we were sitting in, chairs and ta- bles, were covered by heavy masses of ruins, that would have crushed twice our numbers; we then got into the front yard, where t'ne ground was rolling like a sea, and the premises falling in ail directions, with such dust that, although we were all close together, we could scarcely see each other— the dust almost choaking us. A large church the next door to us, with steeple and dome, fell to the ground also, but fortunately it fell to the front and not aside ; three persons of the house were much hurt by the walls falling, and one of them, a woman, was dragged from under the ruins. We- then flew to the mountains, and passed a very anxious night, waiting for day- light; at length it came, and showed us a large town with forts, including three churches, all in ruins, with very few exceptions. Nearly 500 lives were lost. It was most horrible at the time of the greatest violence to hear the din of falling houses and walls, the rumbling underneath your feet, and also the crack- ing of the earth ; indeed, so great was the noise, that I did not distinguish tiie falling of the Church from any tiling else, altho' the next door,— the cries of the inhabitants, all, or as many as could get into the streets, running and praying aloud, some half dressed, and some as they had gone to bed, quite in their night clothes— Several other towns, not far from this, are also injured or destroyed. I - consider myself very fortunate, having only es- caped by the merest chance, and atn, thank God, in the best health, neither injured in person or property, while hundreds have lost much, and as many more their all. One village was completely buried by a neigbouring mountain rolling over it. The earth has shook almost every hour up to this moment, but not like the violent manner it did the first night; yet several severe shocks were felt to- day, and I dare say . it will continue some days before it entirely subsides. All the inhabitants are living in the moun- tains, and the English are all embarked^ so that while the shocks continue, the town, er heap of ruins as it now is, is quite deserted, and will remain so for a few weeks." CELESTIAL PHENOMENA.— A large fiery meteor was seen to pass over this city in a northern, or rather, north- western direction, about 20 minutes past eleven o'clock last Friday night ( 2d inst.) It was followed by a long train of matter resembling the tail of a comet. The night being dark, and the meteor most brilliant, the effect produced' was awfully grand. For about ten seconds the light was such, that' the smallest object could be dis- tinctly perceived in tiie street.— Durham County Advertiser. We extract from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal, of Wednes- day last ( 7th inst.) the following paragraph, and we doubt not ( making some allowance for the difference of clocks) that the me- teoric body which passed over this city is tlie same that was seen in the Scottish metropolis :— t; On Friday ni/ st, the 3d inst. at a quarter past eleven, a brilliant meteor was observed passing to the south of this city, in the direction from east to west it glided along horizontally, at the apparent height of about 200 feet from the ground, emitting a light far exceeding that cf a full moon, and was followed by a smoky train of considerable length, accom- panied by a slight isissing noise. It- was visible 10 or 15 & conds. The wind was blowing gently from tire south- west, but in the course of an hour or two it shifted round to the east."— Idem. A very remarkably brilliant meteor was seen at Embleton, near Alnwick, on the night of Friday, the 2d of May. It had the ap- pearance of a fixed star, rather to the soutli of the zenith ; but about twenty- five minutes after eleven it expanded, with a brilliant pale moon- like light, which continued while the meteor darted to- wards the north, when it assumed the appearance of a comet, the train ten times the length of the body, being very brilliant and of various colours. - After traversing about 16 degrees, it resumed its first figure and remained stationary. Its course was direct, not eliptic, and the brightness was intense.— Newcastle Chronicle. THE NEW CABRIOLETS.— Several drivers of the new Cabriolets, attended at Bow- strcet, on Monday, to complain of assaults they had experienced from the Hackney- coachmen, who find their notorious system of extortion and insolence counteracted, hy the preference which the public give to these vehicles, which are confided to men of orderly habits. Sir It. Birnie directed summonses to be issued ; antl said, " If there are any Hackney- coachmen present, it will be worth their while to attend to what I am about to say. The Magistrates of this office are determined to protect the drivers of the Cabriolets against the Hackney- coach- men, so long as the former shall conduct themselves properly ; and tile latter . may be assured that they will be punished with the utmost severity, if they persist in the course which they appear hitherto to have pursued." DREADFUL FIRE AND LAMENTABLE CATASTROPHE.— Monday night a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Gotte, a pas- try- cook, in New- street, Covent- garden, which burnt with such amazing fury, that before the engines could act the whole of the house was destroyed, and the next, occupied by Mr. Hale, boot- maker, was greatly injured. It is painful to state, that an elderly Lady, who occupied the upper part of Mr. Gotte's house, lost her life. She appeared at an upper window, and a fire ladder was promply applied to it, but such was her timidity, added to the flames issuing in volumes - from the windows underneath, that she would not venture on the ladder. A blanket was then procured, and held by a number of men, in order to her throwing herself on it, but this she also declined, and she was shortly afterwards seen to fall backwards into the flames ! Some of the branches of Mr. Gotte's famiiy had a narrow escape. Another fire broke out on Monday night, just before ten, in the extensive workshop of Mr. Bush, carpenter, in Chopin- court, Old Gravel- lane, which destroyed the whole of the shops and one house adjoining.-. CAPT. PARRY'S EXPEDITION.— Capt. Krusenstern, of the Russian Navy, has published a declaration in the Hamburgh papers, stating tiiat " he had never written a line on the supposed arrival of Capt. Parry on the coast of Kamtschatka to any person whatever." A BARGAIN.— An estate of four score acres of good graz- j land, with some fine growing timber trees upon it, situate be- tween Aylesbury and Bicester, was knocked down on Tuesday, at the Auction Mart, for 2800/. The taxes are very moderate and we understand the purchase was supposed to be worth a bonus of8000/. at least. The condition of sale was, that 15/. 1?" cent, should be paid down and the remainder in September; but so pleased was the purchaser with his bargain, that he gave a check on his banker for 5001. without waiting for the change. PEDESTRIANISM.— Mr. West started on Thursday to go 216 miles in three days. He did 16 miles within the first 24 hours, and reached half his distance, the 108th mile- stone north- ward of Grantham, Lincolnshire, in 35 hours. On his way back he halted at Wansford two hours, and reached Huntingdon with 16 hours to spare. He kept at his work at the rate of something more than four miles an hour, and reached Enfield Wash, having two hours and a half to do the nine miles in. He won the match, with twelve minutes to spare. Thursday morning, at three o'clock, Daniel Crisp, the celebrated pedestrian champion of England, started from Smithfield, to waik 924 miles in 14 successive days, being 66 miles each day, for a bet of 50 guineas. Many private bets, some to a large amount, de- pend on the undertaking. DEATH BY FIGHTING.— Thursday an inquest was held on the body of N. M'Cloud, a baker, who died in consequence of a pugilistic encounter with a brother of the trade. The deceased bad a quarrel with Lake on Saturday evening; and on Tuesday challenged him to fight for two sovereigns, and an agreement was drawn up accordingly ; when deceased said, he would fight, if he died on the field. Oh their arrival, the parties shook hands, and then commenced fighting. Is the last round but one, the deceased was requested to leave off, as he had no chance; but he said he would see him again ; anel in the last round Lake struck him two or three times; the last blow was on his left ear, which brought him to the ground, and he never spoke after. Mr. White, a sur- geon, who opened the head of the deceased, deposed, that he found four ounces, of extravasated blood on the brain, which was the im- mediate cause of his death. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Lake, the principal, and Brown and Butler, the seconds ; and they have been apprehended. COCKING.— On May 5, and three following days, a grand Matcli of Cocks was fought, at Norwich, between Capt. Berrington for Herefordshire, and Mr. Harris for Norwich, for five sovereigns a battle, and 200 sovereigns the odd. It was de- cided in favour of Capt. B. by 10 a- head in the Main, and three in the byes, beating Mr. H. by 13. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.— It has been discovered that, unfortunately, Mr. Martin's Act for preventing Cruelty to Animals does not take cognizance of acts of cruelty committed towards dogs, no mention of them being made throughout the Act. The only animals protected by the Act are any horse, gelding, mare, mule, ass, ox, heifer, steer, or other cattle.;" A complaint of this nature was last week dismissed, at Bow- street, on account of this defect; as was another against a poulterer, for extreme cruelty in killing a fowl: the law had provided no remedy. MAD DOGS.— The inhabitants of the villages of West- dean, Excett, Fristow, and Eastdean, in Sussex, were thrown into a state of alarm on Saturday, by the appearance of a mad dog, which bit several dogs belonging to shepherds in the above- menti- oned places— In the parish of Eastdean, the dog made an attempt to bite a cow, but received a kick from the cow, and did not effect its purpose. Mr. Hayter, bailiff to Mr. Hodrow, of Eastdean, mounted a horsse, taking with him a double- barrelled gun, and came up with the dog on the hills, when the animal turned round and came towards Mr. Hayter, who levelled his piece, but it missed fire; before lie could coine again to the charge, the dog made an attempt to bite him, when he knocked it down. It recovered, and made a second attack, when Mr. H. having stunned the animal, re- peated the blows, which effectually killed it; in doing which he completely destroyed his gun, having broken the stock in number- less pieces, and bent the barrel double.

CONSISTORY COURT, May 12.— Dr. Clarke this day, which was the last day of Term, appeared in Court pursuant to admonition, in the suit instituted against him by the Church- war- dens of Great Waltham, in Essex, of which parish he is the Vi- car ; and in which they charge him with various irregularities in the wilful neglect or desertion of his duty. The Court held that the charges had been fully proved, and that no substantial defence had been set up ; the Rev. Gentleman having been his own Coun- sel. It decreed, therefore, that he be suspended from all clerical functions whatsoever, both in his own parish and in the diocese of London, for twelve calendar months: the Judge ( Sir C. Robin- son), fearing, as he remarked, that a shorter period would not be sufficient to allay t'ne irritation of his spirit, and restore religious harmony between himself and his parishioners. The Court con- demned him likewise in costs, but directed that they should be duly taxed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY.— Mr. Ser- jeant Lens obtained a rule absolute for a new trial, in a cause in which Mr. Peacock, a Chancery Messenger, was plaintiff, and Jenkins the defendant. The circumstances of the case were these: Sir Edwin Sandys, of Gloucestershire, had been taken into custody in pursuance of a process issuing out of the Court nf Chancery, and Peacock had charge of him. By a subsequent arrangement of the parties engaged in the cause, Sir Edwin Sandys was permit- ted to go at large in Gloucestershire, and ultimately discharged, and the Chancery Messenger, according to the practice in that Court, applied to the party who had sued out the process, for his fees, for a term of upwards of a year, including the whole term of the existence of the process in the Court. The plaintiff in the cause refused to pay the messenger, and said, that before he dis- charged his prisoner he should have obtained payment of fees ; and that at all events he was not entitled to payment for a longer term than the actual duresse, which did not exceed one month, the time of Sir Edwin Sandys being at large, by consent being excluded. An application had been made to the Lord Chancellor to issue a writ against. Sir Edwin, for a fresh arrest for the fees, but his lordship refused, on the ground of the parties having al- ready given a release of the caption by consent. The Court granted the new trial, on the ground that the affida- vits contained facts which were not sufficiently before the Judge at the trial. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.— The Sessions commenced this day. The following is a summary statement descriptive of the various offences with which the prisoners for trial severally stand charged :— Burglary, 5 ; perjury, 1 ; stealing in dwelling- houses, 9 ; making false entries as an officer, 1; J 3 ; stealing from tile person, IS ; receiving stolen goods, 1 ;• larcenies, 75 Total, 114. SHAM ATTORNEY.- HORRIBLE BARBARITY,— We copy the following ac- count from the New York Gazette, of April 8, just received: " Capt. Robinson arrived yesterday from New Orleans-, informs that a brig arrived at the Balize on 21st ult. from Port- au- Prince andCampeachy. Capt. Robinson was informed, that she was board- ed in entering the harbour of Campeachy, by a piratical schooner of about 40 tons, and manned by 30 or 40 men, who asked for money; but the Captain denied having any. They then stabbed him in several places, and cut off one of his arms, when he told them where the money was, ( 200 doubloons) which they took, and proceeded to murder him in the most inhuman manner. He was first deprived oi' the. other arm and one of his legs. They then dipped oakum in oil, put some in his mouth and under him ; set it on fire, and thus terminated his. sufferings ! 1 1 The mate was stabbed with a sabre in the thigh. They also robbed the brig of anchors and ca- ble:;, sails, rigging, quadrants, charts, books, papers, and nearly all the provisions and water. On the passage from Campeachy to the Balize, she was providentially supplied with provisions by se- veral vessels which she fell in with, or they must inevitably have perished. The above brig was no doubt the Belisarius, Perkins, which sailed from Port- au- Prince on the 6th Feb. for Campeachy." WE !— Us!— OURSELVES !— The use of the plural" we" in Newspaper composition, however stoutly Editors are bound to stickle for their quasi regal prerogative, sometimes leads to cu- rious anomalies. In the report of the proceedings of a Spa- fields meeting, in the Times, a few years agq, we met witfi the expression, u at this period, our pocket was picked," & c, as if all the gentle- men connected with this Journal had but one. pocket ill common ! We see in a country paper a paragraph, in which the Editor speaks of " an appeal from an order of filiation in a case of bastardy, " in which we ( meaning the said Editor) had the misfortune to be the appellant." As the ground of such an appeal must be an alibi, the assumption of a plural character by the appellant must have thrown difficulties in the way of the appeal. We are happy to state, however, for the credit of our brother plurals, that the or- der of filiation was quashed,— as it was proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrates, that a more infamous aggression on a Body Corporate of one had never been attempted. MR. WEBB— Who has obtained the title oi" The Philan- thropist," and great notoriety, by his prodigal and indiscriminate- distribution of money, was last week apprehended at Brighton, to- gether with the keepers of a brothel, on achargeof enticing a num- ber of female children of tender age into a room for immoral pur- poses, under the pretence of giving them money and clothes. On being called on for his defence to the charge, he voluntarily con- fessed, that he had carried on this system, at the same house, at different periods, during the last four years, such things, he ob- served, being very common in London I II e was ordered to find bail. It is said that he has distributed near 70,000/. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE Ritchie v. Bluett. — In October last, the plaintiff, Miss Janetta Caroline Ritchie, ob- tained a verdit of 500/. damages for a breach of promise of marri- age, against the defendant Lieut. J. C. Bluett, R. N. This ver- dict was appealed against, on the 26th and 27th Feb. last, as ex- cessive in its amount, and on the hearing of the case before the Hon. the House of Keys, in the Isle of Man, the amount was re- duced to 50/.— Mr. Bluett is a son of the actor who, under the as- sumed name of Barrymore, sustained a most respectable station in the Drury- lane Company for many years. DARING BURGLARS' RECAPTURE About four months ago, the house of Mr. Wylie, in Conduit- street, Bond- street, was robbed of property of the value of near 500/. Two desperate cha- racters, named Harry Hicks and John Gloyd, were taken on Fri. day night, and conveyed to St. Margaret's watch- house for exami. nation next day ; but on Saturday morning they effected their es- cape. For three nights and days the Officers have been lying in the fields near Islington, watching for them ; and oil Wednesday night these desperadoes were seen by the Officers running along Britannia- row. The Officers cried " murder 1" and fired their pistols; when Gloyd was, after a desperate resistance, securetl. Hicks escaped, but was taken yesterday morning near Tottenham. They were both examined at Queen- square, ana fully committed. WARNING TO DRUNKARDS— Last Saturday evening, as a tradesman was coming down the High- street, Edinburgh, rather top- heavy, he fell into a basket containing ten dozen of eggs, which he totally demolished. With his clothes most shockingly besmeared he was conducted to the police- office, where, for want of bail, he lay until the following Monday, when he was condemned to pay all damages to the incensed egg- merchant. MURDER OF MRS. RICHARDS, ON CLAPHAM COMMON. — A second person is in custody, on suspicion of being concerned in this cruel outrage; but as it is suspected that there are others still at large, the final and public examination of the facts has been judicially postponed to a future day. BRISTOL IMPORTS OF THE PAST WEEK.— From Bar- Old Bailey, April 17.— The King v. Abraham Samuels, otherwise Abraham Romaine, George. Tay- lor, and two others, for Conspiracy— This was an indictment against the above- named prisoners, and two others, for a conspi, racy in obtaining money from three poor women under t'ne follow- ing circumstances :— It will be in the recollection of our readers, that when Mr. Hunt made his public entry into London, on the 11th Nov. last, two persons, named Ryan and Marks, were taken up on suspicion of robbing a gentleman, of the name of Cotton, of his gold watch and appendages, in Pall- mall, who have since been transported for life. The following facts came out on the present occasion, on the evidence of Elizabeth Ryan and Mary Ryan, tiie mother and sister of the said Ryan, and Sarah Marks', the wife of the said Marks, corroborated by the testimony of seve- ral other witnesses. That, the prisoner, Samuels, otherwise Ro- maine, hearing that Marks, and Ryan bad been fully committed for the said robbery, applied to the wife of Marks, and told her that if she would give him 20/. he, as an attorney, with the assis- tance of Taylor, the officer, could get the bill thrown out; this Mrs. Marks communicated to Ryan's mother and sister, who, in otherwise Romaine, promised to lend them the other 4i out of charity, he having represented to them that he must make up to the prisoner Taylor ( who was an officer) and his comrades ( the other prisoners,) upon this occasion, the sum of 20/. The wife of Marks and the sister of Ryan, anxious for the safety of tile hus- band and brother, thought this a charitable offer on tile part of the prisoner Samuels, otherwise Romaine, who on that occasion acted as the Solicitor, and introduced the prisoner Taylor to them as tile officer who was to accomplish such a desirable end. That on the 3d of Dec. last tlie bill preferred against Marks and Ryan, at the Middlesex Sessions held at Clerkenwell, was thrown out, and that the prisoners Samuels, otherwise Romaine, and Taylor, adjourned to a public- house in Houndsditch, where the wife of Marks, on behalf of herself, and the mother and sister of Ryan gave the pri- soner Samuels, otherwise Romaine, in the company of the pri- soner Taylor, 16/. as the price of their ingenuity. That on the Oth day of the said month of December, Mrs. Marks being inform- ed that another bill was preferred against her husband and Ryan for. the same offence, she applied to her Solicitor, the prisoner Sa- muels, otherwise llomaine, apprising him of the subject,, and re- quiring to know how she should act therein ; who requested her not to fret, as he himself would draw briefs and employ two Coun- sel on their defence. This, however, he did not do; and the two men were tried on the 10th Dec. last, and, chiefly on the testi- mony of the prisoner. Taylor, convicted and sentenced to transpor- tation for life. The Judge ( Mr. Common Serjeant,) on his summing up to the jury, reprobated in strong terms the villainous designs of the pri- soners, particularly of Samuels, otherwise Romaine, in conspiring to extort money from these poor women ; who, to save a husband and a brother from destruction, had parted with all they had in the world to raise the money, pursuant to tiie request, and on the promise of the prisoner Samuels, otherwise Romaine ; and who, in all probability, would have escaped the chance of punishment but for the laudable exertions of the solicitor for the present pro- secution. The jury, without the least hesitation, immediately found the prisoners Samuels, otherwise Romaine, and Geo. Taylor, guilty. [ The other two prisoners were acquitted, as no evidence appeared to convict them, not being sufficiently concerned as to be the real objects of prosecution.") The learned Judge, thereupon,^ immediately sentenced the pri- soners, Abraham Samuels,- otherwise Romaine, and Geo. Taylor, to two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor- rection, to the satisfaction of a erowded Court. badoes : in the Concord, 449 hhds 26 trcs 12 brls 3 hf- brls su » ar; in the Steadfast, 734 hhds 34 trcs 12 brls sugar, 6 brls 1 keg ar- row- root— From Charleston : in La Hogue, 50 brls tar, 110 bales cotton, 164 trcs 86 hf- trcs rice, 13 tons logwood From Cartha- gena : in the Unity, 552 bales 3 casks barilla, 1 parcel seed, 1 hhd wine— Front Bourdeaux: in Le Phoenix, 24 hhds wine, 184 hhds rough turpentine, 70 bales cork— From Charente: in the John, 240 punchs brandy, 1 hhd wine— From Rouen; ill the Amicitia, 1352 burr- stones, 18 c fiint- stones, 68 bales undressed flax, 400 bdls weld, 5 c bones— From Jersey: in the Active, 108 casks ci- der— From London: in the Perseverance, 3 butts wine— From Cork: in the Providence, 4 trcs glass, 38 bales leather, 50 bales bacon, 150 bdls calf- skins, 4 hhds 1 trc chemical residuum, 9 brls velves, 20 brls 5 boxes eggs, 1 bale linen, 33 bags flour, 40 bags bran—- From Waterford: in the Hibernia, 558 sacks flour, 12 bdls skins, 6 brls velves ; in the Wiliiam and Sally, 78 bales ba- con, 889 sacks flour; in the Friends, 300 brls wheat, 124 sacks flour, 25 brls pork.
