'die Learned Lord not to suspend i. intention, but to proceed with an inquiry which he con ceived_ to be a step.to a. most important improvement on t he law of Scotland—(Near). Sir R. FRRGUSSON etpreseed his surprise that the Learned l a ordAbould delay the inquiry. He begged to know who the per sons were wham be was to consult. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS was as elisions as any Gentleman in the House for the inquiry to go on ; but he wished that the time of reiscwing the inquiry should be kft to his Learned Friend. . The LORD A DVOCATR said it was certainly kis intention to proceed with the inquiry, but be could not pledge himself to renew it this Session. Lord - A. HAMILTON rose to reply.—Ue had been accused by the Learned Lord of running away on the -1 2p'proltih . of tht troubles. He would ask where w:ts ;the Learned. Lord himself at that period ? Certainly not occupied in pursuit of the Radicals, but in canvass :ins for political votes. Where Was the Solicitor-General :aft the same time? Similarly employed. And when he 'll f ord A. Hamilton) applied to the Commander in Chief ,faXlinformation respecting the apprehended rebellion, he -was told that the alarming reports had been so often - ::repeated, that they were no longer credited. With re :spectto himself. .he would say, that at the period in question everything, horrible, the grossest slanders and ...Tame..atrocious falsehoods, were circulated .to his pre judiee.l`for example, it was said that. on the person' of the autytxtin convicted and executed were found two letters from him (Lord A. Hamilton) which was a most infarilous calumny. He should not further occupy the Mouse, tnft - would proceed to a division. •• The House then divided, when there were-- For the motion - - 76 Against it 124 • :" Majority against the motion —4B ' LIETTLEMIINTS. On the te-adinisalon of strangers to the Ga nem Lord ALTIIORP .was on , his legs, moving for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Settle .menu by hiring and service. ALTI4OIt? observed, that his chief object in proposing to introduce this Bilk. wes to put a stop to the rndless litigations .which arose under thepreseot system. Another evil ari.ing from :ibe lawN as it now stood, was the difficulty which a poor man found 112 getting work out of his own parish. This would in a great mea sure be removed by the Bill. At the fame time he Was aware that ~one evil must arise from any cheisge ; it was therefore on a ha- Of,the advantages and disadvantages, which be thought der; . in favour of his plan,that he took leave to propose the motion.: Colonel WOOD did not rise to obje ct to the list ; but to give It' his support; at all events to goo a mmittee. In the Coinmittest" he intended to propose a clause hunting to the pour man a settle. meat by the fact of his paying poor? rats, though inider_the sum Of ten poends,which was made imperative by the :55th of t3eorge II I.: Ile last year intended to bring its a Bill on this subject ; hut finding opposition to it from Leeds and other manufacturing towns, he had abandoned it. But upon more mature consideration since, be was resolved in bringing it forwaril a.ain. This was a subject interesting tot the pour, and he inueated the indulgence of the House only for few moments—Vlear,lear). The towns of Leeds and Wigan were against such a measure, because it would give settlements which might entail expenses on their several parishes, owing, amongst other things, to the - support ef bastardy. -. Mr. CRIPPS thought the Bill of the Noble Lord would preient Muth litigation; but at the same time he thought it could not be . easy to carry it with fair operation. • Mr. LOCK HA nT thought that the Bill would cut off a variety of legislation, which was so desirable an object; but notwithstand ing some parts of the Mil were objectionable, he would &limit his support—Leave was then given to bring in the Bin. • Mr. GIPPS, after a few observations, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better employment of agricultural labourers in the winter season. Mr. CARTWRIGHT seconded the motion.—Leave given. Mr. COURTENAY moved for the appointmeut of a Select Committee to inquire into the arrangements made for the poor in krigland and- Wales..—Committee appointed. SALMON FIstlEltISS. Mr. KENNEDY moved for the appointment of a Select Corn 'mince to take into consideration the state of the salmon fisheries of Scotland and the United Kingdom. He observed that his attention had been called to the subject by the number of petitions on the subject that had been Lid before the House. It had been his ear liest hope that the question would have been brought forward joy some of his Majesty's Government, and not have fallen to the lot of so humble an individual . He stated several points which would be .material to be considered by the Committee, and expressed his hope that tit would effect the end so much desired. ' , Mr. C. GRA NT was only anxious to protect private rights, be cause the present plan would, in some degree, interfere with them. —Committee-eppointed. Mr. 'ARBUTHNOT moved for leave to bring in a Bill for cer-. tain purposes ,connecten with the Land Revenue. Mr. G. 11EN N ET adverted to a church which Was building in the New. Street, and complained of the bad style of architecture. He wished to know the architect. The names of several persons had been mentioned, and he was desirous of putting the saddleon the right horse—(A latish). He would willingly pay, not for the erec tion, but pulling down of the building. The Honourable Member objected to the general style of building conspicuous in the new churches built under the late Act. Mr. ARBUTHNOT did not wish to name the Architect.— (Cry of " Name, name.")—The name of the Gentleman was Nash ; and looking to the works of that artist, he might say, if the church in question did not do him credit, others would. The motion was agreed to, andlleave given to bring in the Bill. LAW tTAMPh. The House went into a Committee on the Stamp Duties Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the . EXCHEGLUER proposed to give up aa the duties on law proceedings. of Mr. HUME asked if the repeal would apply to duties upon At ' unities Licenses in Scotland ? The CH A NC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. could not consider the duties on Anomie.' Licenses a tax on Law PrOceedings, and be could not consent to press the reduction further. Mr. W. SMITH expressed a hope that the Right Hon. Gen . simian would consider what fees in Courts of Justice could be re duced.—The Bill then passed through the Committee, and the Re • pout was ordered to be received to-morrow.

The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased persons died by suffocation, produced by the. ignition of the straw." The Jury expressed their decided opinion, that thelives of the two unfortunate persons bad been sacrificed to the want of a neces sary building, in which prisoners anight be - kept.

" Lewisham, 50th Match, 1024. " Six— A most shocking event occurred here last night, which has caused a great and intense - feeling throughout this neighbour hood; and, as the negligence of the. watchmen of the place cusped it, I think you will agree with me, that it should be made public, to operate as a future warning. , " A young and respectable man of this place was last night put in the watchhouse fur being disorderly, and his brother requested leave to stay with him during the night, which was allowed.— ' About two o'clock in the morning, the adjacent houses and the watchhouse were disturbed by a great cry of fire from these young - men, and conceiving it was a mere frolic, they took little. or, no notice thereof. After being continued some time, the cries sud denly ceased, when on persons going to the watchhouse they dis covered both the young men quite dead, and one of them burnt to a perfect cinder. It appeared that a quantity of swat" which was In the watch-house .had caught fire (it is supposed &OM . a Villikr from the grate, as there was a fire in it), and as the walls and roof were stone, the building itself did not take fire, bet- the WPM well entirety consumed. , The efforts of the wretch ed- sufferers et/escape had been most desperate, as appeared front the bones of theit'hands being broken in many places, in vain efforts to strike dirough the door. home a their toes were also broken, from kicking. One of 'thein had, It is supposed, climbed ep to the window, and suspended himself by the bars for some time, until he fell' own suffocated by -the sinole.—The feeling it has caused in the neighbourhood • - yos cannot Conceive. Much blame, of course, attaches ter the watchman for not - attending to the cry of fire whenfirst uttered. • "AN INHASITANT OF L6WISH-AM. 4 . _ • • • Letters received from Oa:A-altar state, that the:King of Spain has granted an exclusive privilege to the Grua dalquiver Company_ to, import British manufactured goods, upon payment of a duty .of 2;5 per cent.. .

Both these Ladies have been for sense time in Paris, where their musical concerts have drawn numerous and brilliant audiences. The French Journals speak in raptures of the talents of Midame Sitystanowsza, who is pianist to the F.mpress and . Dowager Empress of RUSSIA. One of the French Papers, in aloticing the perfdrmance of this Lady, says, " She does not seek to dazzle or astonish the auditors by difficulties; but she displays the e rest taste and the most correct judgment, combining the utmost precision with an expression which gives life and soul to every *piece she executes." —.

Just - as our Paper was going to Press we received the ?vloniteur of Monday, and the• Doile of yesterday, by Express. The latter contains an account of the pro ceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday.— During the reading of the ' proces verbal by M. de SEGUEET, Secretary, pro tempore, a Message was sent from the Chatilber of Peers, announcing that Baron de la ROCIIEFOUCALD, the Duc de- CAnORE, the Due d'Usas, and M. de LAT(MA Muumuu° had been ap• pointed Secretariks. M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT was: not present at the sitting of the Chamber. of Deputies on Monday. The Duc DECAZES has arrived in Paris. Mr. Boowo, appointed to succeed Mr. GALATIN as Ambassador from the United States to France, had arrived at CherbOurg, in the frigate Cyone. The Constitutionnel announces that the celebrated, or rather notorious LARSVEILLIERE-LZPAUX, Member of the National Convention and Executive Directory, died at Paris on the 28th inst. aged 70 years. Accounts from Constantinople of the 26th ult. state, that great preparations are making in the arsenal for the approaching campaign; that the Greeks have ef fected a debarkation at Carabourou, in Macedonia ; and that the nespciations opened by M. Mit : lziAciti with the.Ottornan Porte are still - carried on. The Etoile contains an account- of a melancholy event said to have occurred at Rome,. but which we trust is unfounded. It is stated that an English family was taking a ride on the banks of the Tiber, when the horse on which the niece of Lord MILKER was mounted fell into the river, and Miss BATHURST, the niece of Earl BATHURST, after remaining some time on the surface of the water, sunk to rise no more.= It is added that Lord HAIMIII precipitated himself into the Tiber, and that he also nearly became a victim to the rapidity of the current. Who is meant by Lord HALMER we are at a loss to guess. On Saturday, in the French Chamber of Deputies, M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT refuted all the argument s brought by M. Moor/ to prove that he was snot en_ titled to the rights of a French subjbct, and shewed that where his adversary had not perverted facts, he had dr - awn false inferences from /hem. He demon strated that his father had obtained the full testora-, don of his rights in the year 1791, and that instead of retiring to Switierland, as had been asserted, he had remained in France, and died there after a re ,idence of twenty-one years. Monsieur DIMON, in his reply, seemed disposed to abandon some of the points which he had advanced, or at least to anticipate that the Chamber would not find them sufficient to de cide the question, he therefore asserted, that whether M CONIPTANT were considered a French subject pr not, he should bring documents so prove that he did not pay the qualify hint tel be a De mount of tugs netessaireto 711,_ \ _A I; 7 1 1 it) 1( I, ' .‘ 11.
