~,ti_ a discnasion when the Motion had been SMITH could not explain how the Hon. Gentleman's name had got in the Committee, but it -had been mentioned by some gentleman who thought .that he would not have been averse to it. He re-. gretted that the Hon. Gentleman had spoken rather contemptuously of the Plan ; he would not enter into it now, but would merely say, that the Author of it was a man of the greatest humanity and benevo lence, and that he had shewn in the management of those under his own charge, the practicability of his humane views. He had visited his Establishment. and the regularity, the Order, and the comfort that distinguishel it, exceeded any thing he had ever seen, or almost any thing he bud ever read of The House would scarcely believe, that out of a po-' pulation of eleven hundred, in 14 years there had not been a single individual brought before a Court ' of Justice for a cri:ne. T he education b eg an at three years of age, and nobody who had not seen it would credit the progress which children of seven had made. Ile did not hesitate to say, that Mr. Owen had done more for education than any man that ever lived. Mr. J. W. WARD hilly allowed the humanity and benevolence of Mr. Owdri, and only wished as not to be understood as subscribing to his Plan. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY accounted for Mr. Stur ges Rourries name appearing in the list, by saying that the person intended was Mr. Stephen Bourne, and as the initial a the Christian name was the same, it had beer mistaken for the name of the Right Hon, Gentleman. The Irish Bank Restriction Bill having undergone considera ble alteration in the Lords, a new Bill was brought in, and read a Srit and second time, and' ordered to be committed to-morrow, The other Orders of the Day were then disposed at, and the }louse adjourned at One o'Clock. . - 111 E EVENING STAR.

The Motion to which we adverted yesterday as about to be agitated in the House of Commons, re lating to Mr. OWEN'S Plan for the Relief of the De pressed Classes of society, has been postponed till next Session. We think this a very prudent course. We are well satisfied that the public mind, whatever it may be hereafter, has not as yet been brought to re gard with any great degree of favour this Gentleman's plans; and often-confirmed experience tells us, that in any large measure of this description, Parliament can do nothing effectual unless they have public opi nion along with them. Mr. WARD, on the part of himself and Mr. STURGES BOURNE, disclaimed any connexion with the Committee of Gentlemen who had volunteered their services at Mr. OWEN'S Meeting, in Freemasons'-hall, in the list of which Committee their names had by mistake been included; and in doing so, he took occasion to add, somewhat contemptuously, that he thought the Plan altogether unworthy of notice. The Honourable Gentleman was well an swered by Mr. J. SMITH, who remarked, that Mr. Own; "had shewn, in the management of those un der his charge, the practicability of his humane views. He had visited his Establishment, and the regularity, the order, and the comfort that dis tinguished it, exceeded any thing he had ever seen, or - almort any thing he had ever read of. The House would scarcely believe that: out of a popu-' lation of 1100, in fourteen years there had not been a single individual brought before a Court of Justice for a crime !" it is certainly high time that some thing should be done to redeem the great mats of our people from the sad contrast which they present to this picture of virtue and prosperity ; and since Parliament have not been able, or have not troubled themselves to devise any thing for the purpose, we think that the most indulgent consideration is due to such Gen tlemen out of doors, as do consider it worth while to concern themselves about the future interests of the great body of their countrymen, and that he can be no sincere friend to these interests, who would wish to cast the slightest contempt on exertions so patrioti• tally directed. The evils of our condition eacrease every hour, and we repeat that it is high time some persons of weight and consideration in the country - _ should set their minds to work, to devise and effect some measures of radical relief. We subjoin an Extract from a letter from Bueno Ayres, dated 16th March, received by a Gentleman in Liverpool, the correctness of the information con tained in which, may, we are assured, be relied on. It confirms what we stated on the authority of other arrivals on Thursday, that Lord COCHRANE had' sailed about the middle of January from Valparaiso, with a squadron of four ships, well manned and armed, but that his particular point of destination was unknown. The fact of his having sailed with hostile intent being once known, it is not surprising, considering how many manufacturers of genuine news the Spanish Royalists have at work, that ru mours of his defeat should have been already so in dustriously circulated : " BUENOS AYRE.7, MARCH 16. " Lord COCHRANE, who, in Chili, has acquired such popularity, got the squadron ready for sea, and sailed on the 16th of January. Ills force con sisted of the Spanish frigate Maria Isabel, 50-guns, commanded by himself, and three frigates, well manned and armed. His destination was not given out ; but he would no doubt proceed to destioy the remaining Spanish force in the Pacific, wherever he might find it.—With the prospect of an invasion from Spain, it is impossible to say what will be the ulte rior operation in Chili ; and of course the intelligence received from Europe, on the one hand, and the suc cess and report of Lord Coot RANE on the other, will much influence the farther enterprises of the Patriots." The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore noono—The KING gave on Tuesday a public recep tion to the Ambassadors and Ministers of Foreign Powers. Sir CHARLES STVART had previously a private audience, when his Excellency presented tir his MA• SESTY a letter from the PRINCI REGENT; notifying the birth of the son of the Duke of CUMBERLAND. The Chamber of Deputies are still engaged with the discussion of the Ways and Means. Five per Cents. Tuesday, 68 fr. 75 c. A Hamburgh Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the 23d June. The following mysterious article is, given as from the Maine ; to what Court or to whet parties it alludes we are at a loss to conjecture ; i -,: J 1 , , FROM THE MAINE, JUNE 7. In a North German capital city, the differences which had arisen between the Sovereign and his eldest son appear not to be arranged. A person of high rank is said to have forced his way, with his sword drswn, into the Sovereign's study, to have attacked the persons present, and to have insulted an esteemed officer. A Courier arrived from a Northern Court has caused credit to be given to the report, that a Northern Power had been ap plied to for assistance, to prevent the measures which the Sove reign meant to take to prevent the recurrence of similar occur rences in future. This event has made an unfavourable impres siott on the Public. The Officer is said not to have hitherto ob tained any satisfaction, which it is however to be expected that he will, since otherwise very disagreeable consequences might be apprehended. The abuse and ill treatment which have hitherto so often occurred, must of course become still more frequent— still less regard will be paid to decorum, and at the end, some man of high sense of honour, attacked in this manner, acrd cer tain of obtaining no satisfaction, will devote himself as a victim It is indisputably quite incompatible with chivalrous and mill tary ideas of honour for a Prince to insult a brave man, and then to take advantage of his birth to refuse him satisfaction. Miss O. (as a Journal lately conjectured) has really quitted her retirement, and appeared in public life. After several Offi cers of State had visited her, she gave her first Assembly, at which even Privy Cabinet Councillors and Directors of Public Lands were present. Upon occasions also, when all the servants of the Sovereign appeared publicly (as, for instance, at funerals), the savants of Mias A joined the seivants of the Prince. Seve ral circumstances of this description make it likely that an eleva tion in rank will shortly take place. Charlestown Papers to the Ist of June arrived this morning. Their prominent theme is the general dis tress among commercial men. All trade seems•to be quite at a stand—the stores overloaded with Euro pean fabrics, the low price of which is spreading ruin among the infant Manufactures established during the war. By way of remedy they talk of increasing the duties on foreign goods ; but they will find that the evil cannot be thus remedied. The long wars of Europe gave them an attended commerce which they have now lost; nor will the old world be hasty to re vive hostilities for the benefit of the Uuited States. Yesterday, the PRINCE REGENT entertained at Dinner, in Carlton House, a select party of seven, amongst whom was his Royal Highness the Prince of Cosoutto. In the evening there was a private Concert. Thursday evening, Prince Litorotn gave an ele gant Entertainment to the PRINCE REGENT, and a distinguished Party, at Marlborough-House, which has been magnificently fitted up. On the arrival of the REGENT in his carriage, Prince LaoroLD was at the door of the Mansion-house, to receive his Royal Highness, and whom he conducted into the grand Drawing-room, in which are paintings of the RING,, the late QUEEN, the PRINCE REGENT, and the la mented Princess CHARLOTTE.—The company assem bled to meet the PRINCE REGENT were— Prince Esterhazy, the Dukes of Montrose and Rutland, the Marquisses of Winchester and Hertford, Earls WestinoreLuid, Lonadale, Liverpool, Bathurst, and Harrington ; Viscount Sid mouth, Lord James Murray, the Vice-Chancellor, the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, the Right Hon. W. Huskisson, Baron Hardenbrocke, Col. Addenbroke, and Sir It. Graylings. Yesterday evening the Duke of Sussex honoured the Surrey Theatre with his presence. The Duke and Duchess of KENT honoured the little Theatre in the Haymarket with their presence last night. Their Royal Highnes ► es, attended by the Baroness de SPADINI', General Win:NALL, la Captain CONROY, entered the box prepared for them at seven o'clock. It was the Duchess's -first appear. ance in public, since her return to this country, and her Royal Highness was received with very marked attention. Last evening the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTBA honoured Covent-garden Theatre with their presence, having commanded the Play of Tlte Stranger. Yesterday the Duke of WaLLINGTox gave a grand Dinner to the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR. The party, including his Excellency and his Grace, consisted of twenty-four. QUEENSBERRY AND BUCCLEUGH APPEALS . -Yet• terday, in the House of Lords, the Loan CRANOEL• Loa proceeded to give Judgment in these important Causes ; but, from the length of the details into which his Lordship had to go, he was obliged to postpone the conclusion of the Jedgment.till Tuesday morning next, at ten o'clock. Tan VESTRIAD, &C.—The Lovers of Harratny, l and Admirers cf the Opera, will , meet with a real treat in this elegant Poem, 'by the Author of " The Baaqnet," and " ," which illustrates the Alin, progress, and effects, of Music and Dancing in tane ful numbers, and is throughout enlivened with sallies of genuine and classical pleasantry. LEEDS, JULY L Monday is understood to be the day fixed on for presenting the Requisition to our Chief Magistrate for calling a public Meeting " to take into conside ration the State of the Country, and to draw up an Address SO the. People at large to come forwrd and apply a radical remedy for it." Should his Wor ship decline lending his sanction to the measure, the Requisitionists, it is said, will themselves convene a Meeting, and invite Sir CIIARLRA WOLeELEY, or some other leading character, to preside. In the mean time, such alarming reports having gone forth, from one end of the kingdom to the other, it may not be amiss to state, that we continue here in a state of the most perfect tranquillity. The scandalous re 'ports inserted in the Sew* and Courier (noticed in the STAR of the 27th ult.) have been traced to a hireling 'scribe of this town, who was himself present at the 'Meting, and must know that what be foisted on, -those two Papers was totally false. A public-spirited Gentleman of this town, wrote to the Conductors of both the Papers above named. From the Courier be has not yet received any sort of answer ; but Mr. TAYLOR, of the Sun, replied by return of post, stating that the offensive article was dated " Inteiiigencer Woe, Leeds;" aasd sent by a person signing himself " Ssarrolea or Sritarroup," with many other parti culars. It must be added, however, that the latter person denies ever having sent it; and on this point, himself and the Editor of the Sun are at issue. The matter will not rest here :—a number of respectable Gentlemen feel indignant at the calumny, and are determined to unkennel the fox. I regret to learn, that Messrs. THOMPSON'S, of Rawden, a few miles from Leeds (one of the greatest mercantile and manufacturing Firms in the king dom, than which there is none more respectable), were under the painful necessity of discharging 50 of their men on Saturday last; and it is intimated that they will be compelled to still further reduce their establishment. This is owing to the badness of the Arnesicast markets, as this House has most extensive Agencies and Establishments in the United States. • Having alluded to both of dime Prints in a former publica tion, we feel ourselves bound to give a place to the manly and honourable acknowledgment of error, which was promptly pub lished by the very respectable Editor of The Sun, as soon as he received more correct information. The followiug Is copied from the Sun of yesterday: " Lecos.—We have received assurances from most respect able authorities at Leeds, stating, that a paragraph which ap peared in the Sow of the 21* ult. contained the grossest exagge..l rations of the posture of affairs in that town and the neighbour- 1 hood. We this morning received better information, and we hasten to assure the Public, that we were imposed upon, as we conclude, by artful traitor."—Sun. We take also this opportunity to cootradict a paragraph which first appeared in the Leeds Mercury, and has since been circu lating through the Newspapers, stating that " a numerous Re form Meeting had been held at Dewsbury, when resolutions and declarations similar to those adopted at Hundet Moor, were agreed to." One of our regular Correspondents in that Dis trict, informs us, that no Meeting whatever has been laid at Dewsbury, nor up to this time have the people there shown say disposition to.hold one,—none of the itinerant °ratans hawing been in thatylat.e. VENEZUELA. BRAVE 'OF THE BRITISH TROOPS. Juan Griego, in Margaretta, A Dispatch is just received from the President BOLIVAR, stating, that 150 British Cavalry, belong to Colonel Usrcrit's Regiment, under General PAZ; which had gone up the Oronoco, had attacked and defeated Moalu.o's Cavalry, consisting of 1000, and destroyed 400 of the best of them. By the command of the Pazsmaisr, these men have all received the Order of Liberta.dom, the only Order in the country (and which only the PRZSIDIMT and Admiral Baum had), for their gallant conduct. The George Can ning brought this news from Margaretta. The Portuguese schooner Leopoldine, has arrived at Falmouth, from Rio Janeiro, with Papers from that capital down to the 10th of April. In the Rio Ja neiro Gazette, of the 7th of that month, there is an account of the rejoicing s that took place on the 4th, on the birth of a daug hter by the Princess Royal of Portugal, Brazil, apd the Algarve., the consort of the Prince Royal, and the daughter of the Emperor Of AUSTRIA. Lieutenant Colonel FELDNI landed at Falmouth from the above-mentioned vessel, and proceeds im mediately to the Court of Austria, as bearer of the agreeable intelligence to the family of the Princess. Mr. BETTY has just entered into articles with the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre for next seam* . Yesterday a Meeting of the New Renters of Drury- Lane Theatre took place at two o'clock, in the Sa loon of the Theatre; Sir THOMAS Tuaion in the Chair. Mr. CA LCR A FT, in a short but explanatory "Statement of the affairs of the Theatre, wished .to impress upon the minds of the new Renters, that if the propositions which had been maturely made by the Select Committee, namely, of giving up their interest for the last four years, as wen as their agree ing not to receive interest for four years to come, were not agreed to, he (Mr. Calcraft) had little hopes but that the concern must immediately be ruined.— I If the above play was agreed to, the Theatre might be instantly let, upon good security ; and if the per son succeeded in the management, of which there was no doubt, the dividends would be regularly paid at the time specified. Mr. Roams pointed out the necessity of agreeing to the above proposition.-- Captain ROBINSON seconded the motion, as the only means of saving the Theatre from immediate destruc tion.—Sir THOMAS Tortola telt great delicacy in his i situation of Trustee, to recommend the above propo sition to the new renters; but in the character of a new renter, he felt all its force, and should support it. Mr. FA LLOW V I ELD. as a Trustee, coinsioied most hear tily with the expressions of the Chairman. After some farther conversation, the motion wascarrieti. THE ARMY. Two troops of the 7th Dragoon Guards Coventry on Thursday, and proceeded next mun rg for Nottingham.

The 9th Lancers left Brighton yesterday for liars ? . ton Court, where they will remain a short time, afterwards continue their route to their final destii tion, Ipswich. The 19th Lancers art, we understal to succeed them, and are expected at Brighten in about three weeks. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The grass in the meadows in many of the fields in the NOrth of England is so abundant, that a crop U three tons is expected in many parts on each acre. Saturday Mr. SAMUEL DAVE?, common carrier, of Chelmsford, was accidentally killed by the cver turning of his waggon, near the Plough, at Spring field. Fairlop Fair, notwithstanding the drawback of the rain, was yesterday as well and numerously attended by the neighbouring gentry as has been known for a number of years. No disorder of any kind occurred, and mirth and jollity seemed to be the order of the day. On the return of the company, great confusion occurred in the lane leading from the Forest to the Angel, at Ilford, owing to a person in a gig breaking ,the rank : many vehicles were upset, but we are happy instating that no serious mischief was done. Letters have been received, via Calcutta, from New South Wales, up to the end of November. The Co lony was then all well, and several convict Ships (the Morley, Glory, Maria, Isabella, and others) had ar rived, having made the passage out direct in the short period of three months and twenty days, and landed oil their convicts and passengers in good health.— This may be considered as another, among many proofs, that the passage is in this way much shortened, and that it is unnecessary to snake any stay at any intermediate port. Brooks, the gamekeeper, who was found guilty a: the last Suffolk Assizes or having maliciously shot at C. Bentinck, who, in consequence of the wounds he received, was obliged to undergo amputation of one of his legs, has received his Majesty's free pardon, and was on Friday se'nnight liberated from Ipswich Jail. SHOCKING MURDER.-An our Paper of Thursday we ve an account of the murder of a Serjeant of the Infantry, by a private of that Regiment. The prisoner was sent to the County Gaol at Horsham. The Corons Inquest, after examining the body, was held atae Brewers' Arms Inn, on Wednesday. Several of the military who witnessed the terrible transaction, deposed to the effect we have stated ; one, in particular, said, that on observing Broadbent prime his musket in the guard-room, he suddenly wrenched the weapon from him, and dashed the priming out, expressing his surprise at what he had beheld him do. Priming, with a soldier, precedes the act of loading the piece; the witness, therefore, having no suspicion that the musket eras charged, did not further exa mine it. Broadbent's threats to avenge himself on the Serjeant were heard by the witnesses generally. The Surgeon confirmed the death of Watson to have resulted from the wound he had received, and a ver dict of " Wilful Murder" was recorded by the Coro ner (G. Gwynne, Esq.) against iiroadbeat. The re mains of the unfortunate Serjeant were interred with military honours in the Churchyard on Thursday morning. The procession from the Barracks to the Church was impressively solemn, the band played the " Dead March in Saul ;" the whole of the here attended, including the Officers, the latter wear ing crape on their arms, and the follow ing crowd was very great. The deceased has left a widow, Who is pregnant, and two children, to deplore his prema ture loss.
