At present we knew nothing b u t ,rat the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose to com onnica:e. at theend of the American war, the • Chancellor of the Exch , -quer had said, we were in a, siorsesituatinetvith regard to finance than at the end o f this ; but it shruld be recollected that at that time c ibad Mr. Fitt for' Fnance Minister, and now we bad the Right fi m Gentleman.—(A largh.) tOURTENAY dented that the revenue had f a lien off, if we took a retrospett of tour years instead of one. Mr. TIERNEY explained. The question was then put successively on Mr. GRANT% Resolutions, which were negatived without a division by the previous question. Mr. BROUGHAM frostpnned the Committee on Agriculture until this day se'nnißht, when it was un derstood that the subject would be entered upon. IRISH ELECTIIINS. Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE moved the Order of the Day for the Committee on the Irt.h Election Biil, for the purpose of withdrawing the measure daring the present Session. Mr. PONSONBY wished that the Bill should be committed in the • present Session, that it might be discussed and then postponed. Sit F FLOOD was in favour of the postponement. Mr. D. BROWNE was himself anxious for the discussion: he propoied. Friday next for the consi deration of the subject in a Committee. General MATHEW recommended postponement on account of the absence of many Irish Members. If time were given the Bill might become Ireland, and the table would then be crowded with petitions against ir. It was impossible that the free. folders in Ireland could be polled in 13 days, while the Sheriffs were appointed as at present. Mr. lIUSKISSON spoke to order. General MATHEW moved the postponement until this day three months. Mr. PONSONBY admitted, that if the measure Pere passed in its present shape, it would be a Bill to enable the Sheriffs to appoint the County Mem bers; if, however, the subject were not considered, how could a remedy be provided ? Mr. DALY was anxious for the Committee in the present Session. Mr. WYNN thought an alteration in the. present law abiolutely necessary. It was the duty of the House t, limit the duration of elections as far 46 pos sible, without excluding freeholders from polling, The question could not be too early discussed, that the,Bar might go to Ireland in a tolerably perfect shape. He toi,ic this opportunity of censuring the node in which the business of the House had of late been conducted : formerly, no Bill likely. to be de: bated W.is allowed to pass through any stage after Mae or o'clock At • Mr. V Fl IZGERALD suggested a more remote lay for the consideration of the subject. The Session was now to , I advanced for any effective measure. bhdpe the Bill gave too much power to the Retorn•nc o;licer. 5 r J. ii:r..VPORT was against too strict a limi tation el i ,inr•Ltion of elections.

Mr. WYNN complained that the Session ought to begin earlier. Mr CURWIN said a few words in favour of pOStpot! n►ent. Mr. rIANKES wis desirous that the subject of the Elgin marbles should pass the Committee to night, and the few topics embraced by the question Might be discussed on bringing 'up the Report. Mr. GIURW f.'N said, that many Members had toe away, on the supposition that the subject of the F.lgin marbles would be again deferred. He objected toi toting a shiliitig of the public money at this late tsar of the night,' and in the present state of the Bosse. Sir J. NEWPORT was of • the same opinion. Mr. V. FITZGERALD applaudeil the liberal molt in which the discussion on the new coinage hag been cnnducted at a late hour last night : much time had n ow been wasted in objections to the wasting of time. On the question that the Speaker should leave the • • Mr. WYNNE resisted going into the Committee, unless a pledge were given that matters liable to de; bate should not be brought forward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that if the opposition were persisted in, he thought his Honourabk Friend (Mr. Bankes) would not Ito into the subject of the Elgin marbles. The House then resolved iuto a Committee of Mr. BANKES then named this day se'nnight for the question of the Elgin Marbles, on the understand in that it should Pot :.gain be deferred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Pro Posed two Resolutions to the Committee: esoo,ooo, to defray the mem of the New Coinage. £945,217, for the Fart-India Company. Mr. LUSHINGTON moved the following Re solutions: A 73,117, for maintaining Convict. at home. 4680 ,000, for paying Bills drawn freed New South Wales. 1 1 41,231, for payiag off, 013 Occebet 1, tete, certain anovides. 44 2,110, for defrayi.ig the expense of build:Di the Peniteco.

The CHANCELLOR. : of th e .EXCHEQVER replied, that the total charge made upon Government for these emigennts was. £45,000; but that, by an arrangement with the French Government, it had been agreed, that from the sth of January last, 440,000 of that sum were to bepaid by France, and the remaining £5.000 by this Government. This was merely a loan, therefore, to the French Govern ment, on account of its present embarrassed situation. To a question put by Mr. GORDON. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the French Government were preparing to pay this country the sums advanced to Louis Xl , llE—during his residence in this country. To another question, put by Mr. P. MOORE, the Ri4lit Honourable Gentleman answered, that the pension of 816,000, which had been granted to the Orange Family was discontinued on the .amicable settlement of the affairs of the Netherlands, when that Family wag restored to its rights. The Resolution was then agreed to ; and the House having resumed, the Report of the Committee was 'ordered to be received on Thursday. Adi.oirned h tlf p .st I'2 o'clock. EVI-4NING sTAIt. 1,0,N DON.

A ship, abandoned by the crew, is dried to have been boarded by some sailors from Bergen, who had thus conveyed the pestilential mat ter from the ship to the city. This report, however, given by a shipper to the Quarantine Committee at Elsineur, is happily very far from being authentic ►ted. The shipper pretended to have read it in the Bergen Gazette, but could give no further account of it. We therefore hope that' the shole report• is without foundation. RIISMA, MAY 4. His Majesty the .

A fatal duel took place a few days since at Bonavy, nrar Cam-, bray, between Captain K---, tt. r. and g Surgeon of tt!e British Army (Mr. 0----). lie parties took their ground at twelve paces; the first fire being without effect, the Seconds in terfered, and used every argument and exer ion they could de vise to prevent further hostilities, but •urfortun.rcly wltho:tt success, the Captain declaring that one or bosh should fall.— The pistols being once m e re tiv;n them, the second dLchtree proved fatal,stretch:ng both these unfortunate young men on the ground, Capt.

Lord BINNING has accepted the office of one of the Commissioners for the Affairs of lndis. A new writ was last night moved for, in the House of Commons, (or a Member to serve for St. Michael, Cornwall, hi the room of his Lordship. This change has been occasioned by the app..intment of Mr. CANNING to the situation of President of the Board of Controul. . The arrangements mule with the Barbiry States, by our squadron, appears to have beak productive of much embarrassment to the King of Nari.rs. He has been compelled to impose extraordinary taxes, in Order to raise the sums he is hc.‘und to pay in pursuance of the late Treaties negotiated by Lord ExuouTH, who bad guaranteed them to the African pirates. His MAJEsTeS liquidation of these honourialle debts, contracted through the medium of a British Admiral, in obtaining the liberation of his subjects from the chains and dungeons of these robbers, will be long considered as a phenomenon in European politics.

Upon her earl and final exit she was greeted with long, and continued' cheering frosts all parts of the house most or the au. dience standing, and the Ladies waving th eir handkerchiefs. r~ i
