_ . , • • , , t he exercise of his functions.—[Mr . Pitt i eft b e vged tiLit the Standing Order of the House tight be read, by which it was declared, that no Bill wick went to make !rs alteration in the Religion of be country as by law established, shtfuld be discUssetain that House until the. propositions had been first on sidereJ by a Cammitree, or agreed to by the Hone.] ...This being done : . TIP SPEAKER said, that in matters of this la. tc -. 2 it was the practice to begin with a Committee of the v: bole House : ' at the same time, he did tit k n ow that any Honourable Member was preclude from moving abstract Resolutions ; but certainly n. Bill could be introduced without the sanction of a tn n aittee. Sir HENRY PARNELL observed, it was not • the first time he had the honour of submitting the substance of this Resolution to the Chair. He was terfectly aware, that if it had been a general measure ier Cath ilic Emancipation, it ought to be referred to a Committee of the whole House; but by submitting only these concessions, he considered himself fully justifiable in making this motion. Mr. Serjeant BEST was decidedly of opinion that the Resolution which the Honourable Baronet had proposed came within the spirit of the Standing Order. The Honourable Baronet seemed to think that he could carry his Resolutions by piece -meal, but it was impossible to put such a construction on the Order of the llonse. Sir H. PARNELL would make only one obser vation' in reply. He apprehended that he was not so much mistaken in point of Form as the Right lion. Gentleman and the Learned Serjeant imagined. - - Several Acts had been passed in the Irish House of Commons, which was governed by the same rules as the English House of Commons, and that House had always allowed Bills of this nature to be brought in without previous inquiry by a Committee. Mr. PEEL said, that if the Hon. Baronet should think proper to persist in his motion, he would take the liberty of replying to his observations. . Lord CASTLEREAGH thought that the Hon. Baronet was sufficiently conversant with the course cf Parliamentary business not to press his Resolutions against the express order of the House. He had Ho doubt that a general good would result from the at. aernion which Parliament had lately bestowed on this subject ; but there was a deep sense that the Hon. Baronet was pursuing this measure in a way that was not calculated to promote the interests of the Roman Catholics. The Hoivoirahle Baronet then stood in a situation which, dile could reconcile to his own feel. in s, was abhorrent from :he discretion and judgment of his own friends ; and if he attempted to proceed further in this course, he would sacrifice the ques:ion fumn the mode in which he pnt it. He appealed to the Honourable Baronet whether, in consequence of this proceeding, many individuals had not withdrawn thernselves from the alischarge of the;r public duties ? He did feel that it placcd individuals in the must painful and embarrassing situation. For his own part, he was not prepaied to he dragged into this question by any indiscreet propasitioa that any indi vidual might think proper to propose. It was quite imposnine for him, wokr ti;csc circenistances, to give any support to the motion ; and be czilled ou the Honourable Bart , net to co:isicler whether be was doing any service t)t he cause by adopting this course. He sincere hoped that the Hinioutable Baronet would ',el the propriety of conciliating the spirit co Parliament co this quevion. Sir HENRY l'alltNi-LL said, that the opinion of the Nubie Lord placed this question entirely on a different leoi:Ig. The Noble Lord had stated that he valid not support the motion, which deprived him of th e 1 1 ,0,,,:s of success. He was placed in a sil it• tion towinch every person who felt anxious to dis charge his public duty was always-liable. The peti. nail %%lien he had presented could not be considered in any oner light than as the prti'ion of the Roman Catholkc of behind; and lie had felt it his duty to attend to the sentiments'aini feelings which they had expressed. He was persuade,'. Oat there was no other way of succeeding in this great qtrestiun than by bringing at repeatedly before l'ariiainent ; ;old so far from thinking that repeated diseus•-iu is would be pre itiiici.:l to the cause, he felt convinced that every discuss:::,it woad be a step or pr , :gre”. lie colvd not but ,egret, however, that a sufficient de.;:rett 4,t uttentioo had not been paid so this important subject; r,:.d, with respect to the temper of the Roman Ca th :tics, it could hardly be expected that the irr ta • tam would subside, when nothing occurred but refusal alter refusal, even to the extent of taking their claims into consideration. He had been anxious at all times to support their interests to the best of his power ; but, after the opinions which the Noble Led had expressed, he thought it his duty to with draw his res3lutions. Mr. HILLY ADDINGTON brought in a Dill to repeal several Acts relating to the M.litia, and to amend other Acts relating thereto. Read a first time, a:tendered to be read a second time to morrow. On the motion of Mr. DAVIES GIDDY, the 1 Haute went into a cammittee on the Mine Odenders' ' Ml.—Report to-ma-row. I On th e ruction of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Exchequer Consolidated Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. Mr. CROKER moved, that the second reading of the Silver Coinage Bill should be postponed till to morrow. —Ordered. The Irish Sinking Fund 811, and the Exchequer Bills Bill, passed through Committees.—Reports to morrow. Mr. LUSHINGTCN obtained leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend several Acts relative to Smuggling. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the I.l';.Cli EQUE R, the Propetty Tax Collection Arrear lan was read a second time, and ordered to be corn. Mined to-morrow. On the House resolving itself into.a Committee on the 6cotch Distillery Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. after stating that palatable spirits were not produced by the legal distiller, and that the market was in consequence in the hands of illicit distillers, proposed that small stills .should be allowed w the amount of 4 0 gallons; and that a duty of Bd. be imposed on eery gallon of -.lraqi ; 6s. Id. on each gallon of spirits. s. Mr. C. GRANT, sen. said.a few words; and Mr. W. SMITH complained of the measure as being too insulated : he thought it would be difficult . . 'tb got tho-Righlanders to pa* airy ant); 'btu" *vie theoseans of evasion. ' After a few words in reply frogs the CeANCIELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. FINLAY comitiended the principle or the ' measure; but thought the duty could not be collect. ed at its present amount. Mr. MYLNE thought a duty of ss. would be more effectual than a duty of Gs. 4d. Mr. C. GRANT, sen. stated the universal preva lence of illicit distillation,. and. its lamentable effects on the morals of the people, who, •by living in oppo sition to law, learned to despise it. The legal dis tiller ought to be encouraged, in ordeE to check this evil, and that could only be done by lowering the duty. The Gentlemen .of Scotland wished to put down this system, but were persuaded that the only means was to lower the duty. Mr. W. DUNDAS thought the duty should be reduced to ss. • and .complained of the evils arising from the present hie) duty. After a few e ords from Mr. C. SMITH, Mr. V. FITZGERALD defended the measure, on the ground that illicit distillation, with all its per nicious cousequences, never proceeded to such a height as when there was a great diminution of duty. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, that the price of the illicit whisky was not more per gallon than the duty imposed on the legal spirit, and insisted on the neces sity of removing the evils arising from this system to the moral character of the people. • The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER observed, that,the,arguments employed on the other side appeared to him to be quite as decisive against the proposition which accompanied them ; e against that which he himself had submitted. They all went, not so much to prove the expediency of the precise reduction recommended on the other side, as to spew the necessity of a much further reduction. For his own part, one main objection entertained by him against such a proposition w.. s, that it would render' the duties lower in Scotland that: in Ireland, which last cluntry had, in his opinion, by the act of union, a right to pa:coliar favour. xvx.A regard to his 1)1.411 of regulation being but a halt na..a)aire, it should be remembered, in tho present financial, state of the country, that its revenue and fiscal policy must ne. ces:arily interfere with what would otherwise be the counsels of true wisdom anti political economy. Mr. DUNDAS and Mr. FITZGERALD explained. Mr. FINLAY re-stated his reasons for believing that the decrease of illicit distillation must always bear a proportion to the reduction of duties. The number of persons in confinement in Scotland for offences against the revenue laws, was equal to the whole number confined for debt ; and instances were continually occurring of actions between the smug glers and the regular troaps. Ater some furtiver otaervations from Mr. C. GRANT and Mr. W. SMITH, the question on the dif ferent resolutions was put, and the gallery cleared for a division. The Committee, - however, did not divide, and the resolutions were accordingly carriA. The House having resumed, the Irish Paper Du. ties Bill was brought in, and lead a first time. The Irish Treasury Bills Bill, and the tank Cpl. tar Bill, went through Cemmittees.—Reports to morrow. EXTRNTS IN 41D. ' Mr. W. SMITH gave notice that he sTleittlil, to. morrow, in consequence of wlost he understood to be the result of the late discussion upon the subject of Extents in Aid, and of a recent occurrence •which had come to I knowledge, move for further papers con nected with this questmn. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, 4nd Ole House adjourned. Farr THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

In answer to a qoestion by Mr. PALMER last night hi the house of C•nirnons, Lord Camcitvacat stated that Government had not received any (frial infor mation respecting the insurrection among the Negroes in the Island of Barbadoes.—The Official details will no doubt be soon received ; but the leading facts are already too welt known to med much elucidation, and call loudly fnr some measures to insure the future peace of the Islands. The question is a very simple one, as to its great features, and an investigation will shew that it is not by evading and deferring those measures which may ultimately lead to the complete annihila. tion of Slavery, but only by pursuing them steadily and perseveriney that the danger which threatens these Colonies can be averted. The advocates of Slavery- affect to view the late insurrection of the Slaves as the natural fruit of the projected Registry Bill ! Contemptible ! A Bill intended to facilitate • the extinction of Slavery may conciliate indeed, but cannot irritate the Negroes. No : it is the conduct , of the Slave-mongers, in resisting by every means in ; their power the efforts made by the humane for the amelioration, and ultimately the annihilation of, Slavery, that excites insurrection and rebellion.— Were the advocates of Slavery properly awake t 6 the dangers with which such conduct threatens themselves' and their property, they would act very differently. Sir H. PARNELL brought forward a variety of Re solntions for the purpose of inducing the House to grant some minor ciencessions to the Catholics, by ' admitting them to the subordinate offices in the State, the Army and Navy, and in respect to the mode of voting at elections, 3cc. On the first Resolution for permitting the undisturbed exercise of their Religion in their places of public worship. Lord CASTLR. REAGZI objected to the manner in which the subject was brought forward, at this late period of the Session, and tinder circumstances so very inimical to the cause of the Catholic Petitioners, there not being any of the friends of the Petitioners in the House, with the ex 44i of the godottishie anti one Si two other Memberi. He urged him, therefore, to delay the consideration to a more appropriate opportwtity. With Which Commendation Sir Huai reluctantly complied, • The second reading of th e Civil Da Bill in the House of Lcirds, last night, was opposed by the Mar quis of LANSDOWN, Lord HOLLAND, and Earl Guns- VENOR ; and was supported by the Earls of LIVER. POOL and HARROWBY• The Bill w:ss read a second time, without its opposers pressing the House to a division on it. New York Papers to the 10th, and Washington to the 13th ultimo, arrived this mnrning. An cfEeial document was published in May, at Washington, entitled, eg An Act to Incorporate the Subscribers to the Bank of the Uoited States," to be opened nil the first of July, in Philadelphia; which states that all subscriptions paid upon each • share must be five dollars in gold or si:ver con of the United Stairs, of foreign coin, and 25 dollars mote in rice coin or in funded debt.

Captain Wru.s, of the schooner Angenora, ar rived here on Sunday, in five days from Matanzas, *informs us, that the day before he sailed, a British sloop arrived there in two days from Nassau, bringing intelligence that there had been a stood revolt among the West Indian troops stationed in that place, occa sioned by an attempt, on the part of the Government, to punish one of the soldiers concerned at the former mutiny, when they rose upon their 011iecrs, se;zed Colyncl MURRAY, and had neatly stran)llvd him.— They were in poss..ssion of the arsenal and magazine, find threatened to destroy t!:e place if any attempt alias again made to punish any individual of their number.— Charlei:on Courier. . It is with regret we announce, that her Royal Highness the Princess enattLoTTL, is so ranch indis posed as to be confined to her chamber. H.a. Royal Highness has, it appears, been troubled fur several Jays with a sevete cold, which has pleventeel her from taking her usual exercise of riding in an open carriage. Yest , nalay her Royal Highness had a vein opened in her arm. after which stir enjoyed a com fortable sleep, and became much better. The in quiries after her health yesterday were very nume rot's, but none but the Royal Family were admitted Camelford.Wuse. The Duke of. CI:SIREULAND called 'het e ; and the Qurr. , ,:; with tl:e Ptit , c , :,'Sos Etinuerti and- MARY, went to Carnelford-h ',Titre as soon as the information respectiog the indispostten of the Princess CHAItLoTTE reached them. The Qt.7l,ns remained abeve an hour v.at:, her. .Dr. Boat Li: re ported the state of her health to the Reznts-r, wit) sent Sir BetsJositst .13LooNtima.n to be in attendance at his daughter's hoose. Prince I.Eortit.o bad a long' conference with the REGENT at Carlton-house. List night her Royal Highness was coosideraLly better, and her physicians give hopes of a very speedy recovery. Yesterday the Duke of Gr.nucesrit gave a grand , dinner to the QUEEN, the Princesses EI.I7ARETII and, MARY, and the Princess SoPIIIA of GLoncnsTEtt, the Reoase, the Dukes -of KENT anti CLARENCE, and Prince LEOPOLD. The Duke ..f Yana did not attend the dinner party, on account of the indisposition of the Duchess of YORK, who is at Oatlands; his Royal Highness, however, atrived in the evening. Prince LE•4 , OLD retired s:ton after dinner, in consequence of the illneis of the Princess Clinntorts. Tile Duke ) of GLoucuvrca reteived his Royal Relatives in state,l and entertained them with great magnificence. Her. MAJESTY sat at the head of the table, in a superb arm chair, covered with crimson velvet, and orna mented with deep gold fringe. An immense 4- I course of people was collected round Glouce o ller House. The report of a third Royal marriage being on the tapir, is contradicted by authority. Messrs. FLIGHT, BAUR,. and BARR, of Coventry. street, and Proprietors of the Royal Porcelain Wir ks, Worcester, have been honoured with an Order from her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE, and his Serene Highness the Prince of SAXE COBOURO, to be executed in a most superb and unique style ut cm bellishment. The Earl of Dientiv is the Nobleman who remitted the Bank-notes in a frank which has not yet come to hand. Yesterday a Committee of Sugar Refiners had an interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, relative to reducing the bounty on drawbacks; when it was arranged, that from the sth of July next, the bounty should be 4s. per cwt. less on single•refined sugars, and 6s. per cwt. oc double-refined sugars. Mr. CANNING is likely to experience an opposition at Liverpool. A meeting of that portion of the in habitants who opposed him before was held on Mon day, when a Requisition was signed, calling upon Mr. LEYLAND, of Walton, to come forward as a Can. didate ter the vacant seat.. A failure has taken place in Ireland, which it is feared will have most extensive consequences. Mr. Am:maws, of Fermoy, merchant, who bought the Barrymore Estates, and whose wealth was consi dered so immense, has stopped payment. The quail• tity of his paper in circulation, and the variety of his concerns, will produce a serious inconvenience to that country. • Letters from New York represent the markets in the United States as completely glutted with British goods, whereby great sacrifices were daily making at auction.
