Mr. BENJAMIN SHAW regretted, that although the Bank Directors had made every investigation, no mode of preventing forgery had been invented. A public reward should be offered. 'No public money could be better repaid. Mr. H. DAVIS answered the assertion, that if the notes had been better executed, they would not be so often forged, by stating, that he had seen notes issued by a private Banker, executed by a most distin guished artist, which had been so completely forged, that, brought before him, he could not distinguish the false from the true one. Mr. SAMUEL THORNTON, in reply to the Member for Shrewsbury (Mr. Bennet), -contended, that Bank prosecutions had been conducted with the ( 'utmost possible moderation. No expenses had been incurred for the put pose of entrapping persons. To prove these assertions, the accounts of the Bankivould 'Le presented without any objection—Wear, keen) • Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said he availed him self of the courtesy of the House, not for the pur pose of reply, but strictly to explain two parts of his former speech, that seemed to have been misunder stood by the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite. Of the Judges of the Land he felt always disposed t 3 speak, not only in respectful but in reverential - terms. If he had used any disrespectful terms, they 'Must have proceeded from the warmth of the mo ment ; he was not conscious of it, and did not believe lie had done it. He had merely complained of the 'severe jurisprudence of the,law on this subject. He lad also intended to have spoken of the Bank Direc 'tbrs with respect, as the managers of an useful pub institution. Of them, all he had said was, that ...: they refused the object of his motion, they would excite a prejudice, a suspicion of something to be hid. Much was he therefore surprised to be charged with dlsrespett towards them, but much more to be charged with disrespect towards the Judges, who must ever deserve veneration, if they should rot deserve punish 'meat, for there was no medium. The discussion for last kalif hour had wandered from the object of .4 motion,' and adverted to a subject''on which he should bring forward a motion afterwards, perh that day se'nnight, if, unfortunately, the motion I Right Hon. Friend for Friday should be rejected. The several Motions were then put, and carried without a division. When the last Motion relative to the Expenses of Prosecutions was agreed to;. Opposition Benches returned several cheers. • •• • The other Orders of the Day were disposed,of, the louse adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1818.

Last night Sir JAUZII NACKINTOStes Motions rela ave to the Forgeries on the Bank of England, came on in the House of Commons. Sir JAMEekstatement was highly impressiVe ; indeed, the whole of the dis ..ussion will be read with much interest. General 7110RNTON observed, and with great justice, that the Directors of the Bank were Gentlemen of the ighest respectability ; and that, if any blame at tacked at all to them, it could only be for having formed their judgments, as a Body, too implicitly upon the opinions expressed by their own Officers. We take this to be the real fact, for nothing can be more natural—at least nothing is more common, 'lan for individuals, placed in such circumstances, to be much guided by the opinions of those who re gularly manage the details of the business—such as their Engraver, and others engaged in the manufac ture of their Notes. We may even go farther. When Mr. TILLoCH Offered his Plan to the Bank in the year 1797, the crime of Forgery was comparatively of but rare oc currence, and of course any arguments founded on the inconvenience which a change of system knight ncasion, were entitled to great weight, and might induce a reluctance to any thorough investigation...—. But circumstances have so greatly changed since that period, that even to suspect that the Directors should still feel r.o anxiety to lessen the frequency of crime, it it cannot be entirely prevented, would b z to ascribe to them a chtuacter which cannot, with propr i e ty, be imputed to any Gentlemen occupying such a sphere as they fill in Society. Yesterday morning the Prince of HEssz HOMBERO rode out in a Royal carriage, attended by Baron ONAGIiTSN, and made visits to most of the Cabinet Ministers and Officers of State. The dispatches with which Colonel Ousi,tz, the Messenger from the Court of Portugal, was charged, in his 11Iajesty's packet Princess Elizabeth, were dropped by him into the sea,• picked up from want of sufficient weight, by the pirates +rho plundered that ship, and restored to him after having been taken on board their ship.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning.) The Tribunal of Ccirrectienal Police was occupied on Saturday in hearing M. Ftsvia's defence of the I.lth part of his Correspondence, in which our Readers are perhaps aware he has made a sevire attack Inn the late remarkable speech of Lord STANHOPE ) on the stite of France. The object of that speech, he main tains, was to put France on her trial before all Eu rope; and where, he demands, could be the crime in any Frenchman standing forward to defend truth and his country ?—Lord Sratmoez had insisted that the Royal Authority in France could only be main tained by force ; and all that M. Fimme laboured to Shaw was, that, oa the contrary, the stability of the Royal power must depend on legal rights. . The cause was adjourned for eight days, to hear the reply of the Public Prosecutor. An article from Constantinople states, that the; Foreign Ministers have recently had conferences with the Divan for the purpose of inducing it to concur in measures for repressing the outrages of the Bar lbaresque Powers, and obtaining satisfaction for their 'past conduct. The Sublime Porte is represented as' opposing temporising expedients to the reiterated in stances of the Foreign Powers; but we trust thesis some truth in what is added, that thelatter are de , temnined on insisting upon a catagorical answer to their deinands. French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 67 fr. 45 c. A Bill has been brought into the American Con gress, and passed a second reading, which proposes to authorise the Treasury to repay or remit all alien or discriminating duties either upon tonnage or mer chandise imported, in respect to all British vessels which have been entered in ports of the United States at any time between the 3d day of July, and the 18th day of August, 1815, and which duties have been, or secured to be paid, contrary to the provisions of the Convention regulating Commerce between the territories of the United States and of his Britannic Majesty, bearing date the 3d day cif July, 1815— Provided that such indulgence shall not take effect until a 'similar provisicr shall be made by the Go vernment of Great Britain in favour of American vessels, in regard to duties on tonnage or merchan dise, entered in the British European ports during the same period. THE ARMY IN IRELAWit The detachment belonging to the 29th regiment of foot, consisting of one seiieant and seven rank and rile, which were doing duty at Mohlll, has received a route directing their march from that station, and to proceed without delay to the head-quarters of the regiment. Routes have been forwarded to the following de-, tachments belonging to the 45th regiment, viz.—A detachment, consisting of 16 rank and.file, stationed at Ardee, and eight rank and file doing duty at Car , lingford, directing that they should, on the arrival of the routes, proceed to join the.head-quarters of their regimen.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--A new Interlude, called Amoroso, the Kist -, of Little Britain, was performed last night for the first time with great success. It is a pleasant little trifle, after the manner of Romlnastes Fhrioso, consisting of whimsical parodies of scme of the melodies of Mooaa, and the songs of other poets,, which are well sung by HARLEY and SMITH ; and of imitations of KEMBLE, KEAN, and BRAHAM, by KNIGHT, which are whimsical enough. On the whole the Piece was very successful, and promises to have a run. GOD Save the Kites was *sing in corn. pliment to the Duke and Duchess of Gcoucesiaa, and the Princess AUGUSTA, who were present during the greater part of the evening. KING'S THEATRE.—The Opera was most brilli antly attended last night. Don Giovanni isotill the prevailing favourite, and, from the numerous assem blage present, and the constant applause bestowed on this delightful composition, it does not appear to have lost a tittle of its wonted attractions. The --•- tasteful and truly lively Ballet of Zephir followed, which throughout evidently afforded much pleasure to the crowded and fashionable auditory.

NORTHERN Exrenrrioe.—The Isabella, Captain Sir JOHN Ross, and the Alexander, Lieut. PARRY, sailed yesterday from the Nore for the North Pole. The Dorothea and the Trent followed them this morning'. Till BARBARY STATES.—A Work of very consi derable interest, we understand, is about to appear, under the superintendence of Captain BLACIUMERR, and dedicated, by permission, to the PRINCE REMIT, relative to Algiers. It is the production of Signor Pasanu, a scholar of Tuscany, who, during the Revolution, removed to England. On his return to his native country he had the misfortune to be captured by the pirates, and carried to Algiers. •On making himself known to the Consuls, however, he was immediately liberated, receiving at the same tine a peculiar mark of distinction from the Der. He remained in the Regency a considerable time, and applied himself to the investiga4on of the History, Government, plan ners, am! Customs of this highly interesting part of Africa. Front the disti ignised talents of the Author, his perseverance, and his opportunities for research, it may be expected that muck new light will be thrown on this' important subject, particularly when it is considered that no Work on Algiers has appeared for a very long period. LORD S lots OUTH V. THlSTLzwoon.—Monday after noon, Thistle-wood, attended at the Crown Office, in company of two Officers of the King's Bench Prison, and Dr. Watson, to receive a list of his Jury, which is specials Dr. Watson took down the name and resi dence of each juryman. FIRE.—A fire broke out in the workshop of SPIRE. woos and RATCLIFFE, wheelwrights and carpenters, at Hythe, about half-past two on Friday morning last. The premises being of timber, burnt with great rapidity; but by the judicious exertions of the inha bitants, with the two parish engines, and a party of the Royal Staff Corps with the barrack engine, the fire was confined to the premises in question, and finally subdued in about an hour and a half, the work-shop and alodge being burnt to the ground. ACKIEMANN'S PATENT AxLe.--Satuxday the new Carriage, on the principle Of ACKRRMANN'S Patent Moveable Axle, was again shewn at DODD'S Manu factory, Crawford -street, Montagu-square, to a r.u merous assemblage of persons of the first rank, in cluding some of the Foreign Ambassadors. The Carriage was drawn round the Yard in the course of the day, and the simplicity and utility of the New Construction received that universal approbation - to which its ingenuity and superior safety entitle it. It may, perhaps, be the fate of this Improvement, like all others, to have for a day to struggle against the' prejudices of those who will not be easily driven out of the old plodding track; but the universal appro bation which the New Plan received from Gentle men of mechanical science on the first day, and from the Fashionable World on Saturday, leave no doubt of its being immediately and universally adopted.— This Plan, which -unites superior safety to neatness and simplicity, can be applied to old Carriages. as well as new.
